The Mysterious Card Unveiled
Sequel to "The Mysterious Card", in which the mystery of the card is resolved.According to Uncertain Endings: The World's Greatest Unsolved Mystery Stories by Otto Penzler (Penguin Books, 2006), this 2-part story is one of the two most famous riddle stories of all time, the other being "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton. The Mysterious Card stories were published in a magazine called The Black Cat, the first part in 1895 and the conclusion in 1896.The magazine publisher in 1912 put the two parts together in one volume, with the second part sealed, and offered a refund to purchasers if they could return the book with the seal still unbroken.

The Christmas Wish - Erotic Short Story (EN)
"I feel dizzy and light as a feather. Our hands explore each other's bodies, and all our clothes end up on the floor. When I pull her tank top over her, head, I notice that she is not wearing a bra and her nipples are stiff and erect. I pull myself away from her mouth to taste one of her nipples, and I massage her firm and small breasts as I suck and nibble them carefully.

Bucholz and the Detectives
The following pages narrate a story of detective experience, which, in many respects, is alike peculiar and interesting, and one which evinces in a marked degree the correctness of one of the cardinal principles of my detective system, viz.: "That crime can and must be detected by the pure and honest heart obtaining a controlling power over that of the criminal."

The Weaponisation of Everything
An engaging guide to the various ways in which war is now waged-and how to adapt to this new reality
Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted War: today, traditional conflict-fought with guns, bombs, and drones-has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.
Transnational crime expert Mark Galeotti provides a comprehensive and ground-breaking survey of the new way of war. Ranging across the globe, Galeotti shows how today's conflicts are fought with everything from disinformation and espionage to crime and subversion, leading to instability within countries and a legitimacy crisis across the globe. But rather than suggest that we hope for a return to a bygone era of "stable" warfare, Galeotti details ways of surviving, adapting, and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by this new reality.

Kniha je zaměřena na regresní modely, konkrétně jednorozměrné zobecněné lineární modely (GLM).

Každý příklad je rozpracován od popisu a stanovení cíle přes vývoj statistického modelu až po závěr. K analýze dat je použit populární a volně dostupný statistický software R. Příklady byly záměrně vybrány tak, aby upozornily na leckteré problémy a chyby, které se mohou v průběhu analýzy dat vyskytnout. Zároveň mají čtenáře motivovat k tomu, jak o statistických modelech přemýšlet a jak je používat. Řešení příkladů si může čtenář vyzkoušet sám na datech, jež jsou dodávána spolu s knihou.

The Rule of Laws
'Fascinating, insightful and gripping, The Rule of Laws provides a comprehensive exploration of the history underpinning our modern legal systems. A triumph' The Secret Barrister
The laws now enforced throughout the world are almost all modelled on systems developed in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. During two hundred years of colonial rule, Europeans exported their laws everywhere they could. But they weren't filling a void: in many places, they displaced traditions that were already ancient when Vasco Da Gama first arrived in India. Even the Romans were inspired by earlier precedents.
Where, then, did it all begin? And what has law been and done over the course of human history? In The Rule of Laws, pioneering anthropologist Fernanda Pirie traces the development of the world's great legal systems - Chinese, Indian, Roman, and Islamic - and the innumerable smaller traditions they inspired. At the heart of the story is a paradox: how did the pronouncements of the powerful became a vital weapon in ordinary people's fight for justice?

The Riddles of Ukiyo-e
- This book sheds light on the often mysterious iconography in Japanese prints
- Lavishly illustrated with over 130 prints of women and men, from the heyday of Japanese printmaking
- A passionate introduction to the intriguing art of Ukiyo-e
Women and men – strong, proud, tragic or beautiful – from the heyday (1765–1865) of Japanese printmaking are this book's subject. It seeks to dig below the surface of the prints to describe the often subtle iconography employed in these masterful creations by the most famous artists of their time. It begins with Suzuki Harunobu's subdued and introverted scenes of women seated on verandas. The book then moves on to the spectacular ‘big face' (okubi-e) portraits of prostitutes and Kabuki actors by artists like Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku and Utagawa Kunimasa. Frail ‘streetwalkers', forced by circumstance into the lowest ranks of prostitution, are transformed into elegant beauties, obscuring their tragic existence. The spectacle of heroes from Japan's rich mythological and pseudo-historical past crowd the printed sheet. Stern-faced actors drawn by the confident hands of Utagawa Toyokuni and his pupil Kunisada demonstrate the economy of line and powerful expression of the woodblock medium. Each print is explored in the finest detail in order to explain the riddles of Ukiyo-e: the intriguing and captivating mode of visual expression that would have such a profound influence on Western art.

Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil: 40th Anniversary (Deluxe Limited Box) 6LP
Mötley Crüe je americká heavymetalová skupina založená v Hollywoode v Kalifornii v roku 1981. Basgitarista Nikki Sixx a bubeník Tommy Lee sa najprv spojili s gitaristom/hlavným spevákom Gregom Leonom. Ale po nejakom čase Leona nahradil gitarista Mick Mars a hlavný spevák Michael White. Posledne menovaný bol čoskoro nahradený Vinceom Neilom a krátko na to bolo zvolené označenie Mötley Crüe. Skupina predala celosvetovo viac ako 100 miliónov albumov. Dosiahli tiež sedem platinových alebo multiplatinových certifikácií, deväť Top 10 albumov v rebríčku Billboard 200 (vrátane Dr. Feelgood z roku 1989, ktorý je jediným albumom Mötley Crüe, ktorý sa dostal na prvé miesto), dvadsaťdva hitov Top 40 mainstreamového rocku a šesť Top 20 popových singlov. Kapela zažila v priebehu rokov niekoľko zmien v zostave, pričom jediným stálym členom zostal Sixx; tieto zahŕňali predstavenie hlavného vokalistu Johna Corabiho (ktorý bol Neilovým náhradníkom v rokoch 1992 až 1996) a bubeníkov Randyho Castilla a Samanthy Maloneyovej, ktorí obaja nahradili Leeho po jeho odchode z Mötley Crüe v roku 1999; sa do kapely vrátil v roku 2004. V októbri 2022, po 41 rokoch služby, Mars oznámil svoj odchod z koncertovania s kapelou, pričom ho nahradil bývalý gitarista Marilyn Manson a Rob Zombie John 5.
Shout at the Devil je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 23. septembra 1983 cez Elektra Records. Bol to prelomový album skupiny, vďaka ktorému sa Mötley Crüe stal jedným z najpredávanejších heavymetalových počinov 80. rokov. Single „Looks That Kill“ a „Too Young to Fall in Love“ boli pre kapelu miernymi hitmi.

The Ravenhood - Exodus
„Azt ?tettem, amit a tolvajok: elloptalak”
Cecilia Horner unalmas évre számított, de ez lett élete legizgalmasabb nyara, miután megismerte a helyi rosszfiúkat, Seant és Dominicot, és a kapcsolatuk sokkal veszélyesebb fordulatot vett…
De elkábul a felismerésre, hogy a két fiú a Ravenhood titkos társaság tagja, amelynek élén egy Franciának nevezett férfi áll, aki nem szeretné, ha Cecilia az emberei vagy a küldetése közelébe férkőzne…
Ceciliának minden oka megvan rá, hogy gyűlölje, de a szerelmet csak egy hajszál választja el a gyűlölettől. És ha a Triple Fallsban eltöltött idő megtanította Ceciliát valamire, akkor az az, hogy nagyon is hajlandó ezt a vékony határvonalat átlépni..
Kate Stewart „Ravenhood” trilógiája elvarázsolta a TikTok közönségét világszerte.
A merész, szexi, romantikus, korunkba átültetett Robin Hood-történet lélegzetelállító fordulatai és elsöprő érzelmei magával ragadnak, és nem eresztenek.
Ez a szokatlan, és tabudöntögető szerelmi történet mindvégig töretlen izgalmat ígér, rejtélyekkel, szexiséggel, függőséget okozó rosszfiúkkal, akcióval és ÉRZELMEK SOKASÁGÁVAL.
