Lacná kniha Nazdar, vitamíne
Humorem protkaný příběh o lásce, ztrátě a vzpomínkách v jejich nejrůznějších podobách. Život třicetileté Ruth se neubírá zrovna šťastným směrem. Těsně před Vánoci se rozejde se svým snoubencem a k tomu ji překvapí zpráva z domova – její otec Howard Young, uznávaný profesor historie nenávratně ztrácí paměť. Ruth podá výpověď v práci, opustí velkoměsto a vrací se do domu svého dětství, aby rodičům pomohla vyrovnat se s nenadálými změnami. Je ochotná vyzkoušet cokoliv, i zaručené recepty proti demenci – medúzovou polévku či medúzové placičky. Román psaný formou deníkových zápisků je humornou i dojemnou sondou rodinných vztahů.

Kontradikce / Contradictions 1-2/2021
Dvojjazyčná ročenka nazvaná Kontradikce/Contradictions je médiem věnovaným odbornému bádání a diskusím o dějinách a současnosti kritického sociálního myšlení ve střední a východní Evropě, jakož i o postkomunistické" situaci v dalších částech světa.
Aktuální ročník Kontradikcí reaguje na stávající akademickou debatu a otázky spojené s přehodnocováním a znovupromýšlením historie disentu. Kontradikce se hlásí k novému zkoumání politického myšlení, které se objevilo ve východní a střední Evropě před radikálními změnami v roce 1989. Autorky a autoři Kontradikcí vycházejí z předpokladu, že i uvnitř disentu vznikala řada socialistických politických koncepcí a že marxistický disent není pojem, který by představoval contradictio in adjecto. V rámci takového tázání jim jde zejména o politické myšlení, o obsahy kritik, programů a vizí a o jejich filosofickou relevanci.

Future Stories
A user's guide to the future: from the algorithms in DNA to why time is like a cocktail glass, interstellar migrations, transhumanism, the fate of the galaxy, and the last black hole...
Every second of our lives - whether we're looking both ways before crossing the street, celebrating the birth of a baby, or moving to a new city - we must cope with an unknowable future by telling stories about what will happen next. Where is the future, the place where we set those stories? Can we trust our future stories? And what sort of futures do they show us?
David Christian, historian and bestselling author of Origin Story, is renowned for pioneering the emerging discipline of Big History, which surveys the whole of the past. But with Future Stories, he casts his sharp analytical eye forward, offering an introduction to the strange world of the future, and a guide to what we think we know about it at all scales, from the predictive mechanisms of single-celled organisms and tomato plants to the merging of colossal galaxies billions of years from now.
Drawing together science, history and philosophy from a huge range of places and times, Christian explores how we prepare for uncertain futures, including the future of human evolution, artificial intelligence, interstellar travel, and more. By linking the study of the past much more closely to the study of the future, we can begin to imagine what the world will look like in the next hundred years and consider solutions to the biggest challenges facing us all.

Lacná kniha Kiss the Past Hello - 100 Years of the Coca - Cola Bottle (-90%)
One of the most famous and unmistakable shapes in the world since its introduction in 1915, the Coca-Cola bottle is an influential symbol of design, art, and culture. Identified by its iconic contour fluted lines and described by noted industrial designer, Raymond Loewy as the "perfect liquid wrapper," the bottle has been celebrated and revered in such mediums as art, music and advertising. From representations as a symbol of mass culture expressed by greats like Andy Warhol and Clive Barker to serving as a reference point for industry influencers such as Volkswagen who compared the shape of the Beetle to the bottle, the Coca-Cola bottle has been a benchmark for the past hundred years. What began as a design brief: to create a bottle that could be identified in the dark or lying broken on the ground, today is one of the most recognized packages on the planet. Published on the occasion of the bottle's centennial, Kiss the Past Hello is a vibrant collection of images and art celebrating the Coca-Cola bottle not only as an icon of design but as a symbol of optimism, happiness, and the shared moments in our lives.

The Man From the Atom
This was one of the 6 science fiction stories published in the first issue (April 1926) of the first magazine devoted to science fiction, Amazing Stories, edited and published by Hugo Gernsback, now considered to be the father of the science fiction genre. He described this story in an inset panel:"In 'Alice in the Looking Glass', the beautiful play of fancy which gave immortal fame to a logician and mathematician, we read of the mysterious change in size of the heroine, the charming little Alice. It tells how she grew large and small according to what she ate. But here we have increase in size pushed to its utmost limit. Here we have treated the growth of a man to cosmic dimensions. And we are told of his strange sensation and are led up to a sudden startling and impressive conclusion, and are taken through the picture of his emotions and despair."The reader with even the most basic knowledge of science will find this story flawed, incredible, perhaps ludicrous. But, after all, it's fiction, more fantasy than science. Suspend your disbelief and let the story carry you where it will, across space and time, to love.The magazine copyright and the individual copyright of the author were not renewed. Therefore this work is in the public domain in the United States. It may also be in the public domain in other countries based on the life of the author, who in this instance died in 1968.

Dr. Nikola Returns
In this second of Boothby's Dr. Nikola novels, adventurer Wilfred Bruce meets Dr. Nokola, who wants to hire Bruce to help him penetrate a secluded Chinese monastic society to obtain the occult secret for immortality. Dr. Nikola demonstrates to Bruce that he and his black cat have magical powers. He learned of the Chinese society from a disgraced Oxford don who spent many years in China and from an old Buddhist priest. He tells Bruce:"I will confess that the prospect of what I am about to attempt almost frightens me. It is neither more nor less than to penetrate, with the help of certain Chinese secret societies, into the most extraordinary seat of learning that you or any other men ever heard of, and when there to beg, borrow, or steal the marvelous secrets they possess. I cannot go alone, for a hundred reasons, therefore I must find a man to accompany me; that man must be one in a thousand, and he must also necessarily be a consummate Chinese scholar. He must be plucky beyond the average, he must be capable of disguising himself so that his nationality shall never for a moment be suspected, and he must go fully convinced in his own mind that he will never return. If he is prepared to undertake so much I am prepared to be generous."He is convinced that Bruce is the right man for the task. After consideration of the risks and reward, Bruce joins Dr. Nicola on his quest.

The Necessity of Atheism
Excerpts:"There are no problems related to human progress and happiness in this age which any theology can solve, and which the teachings of freethought cannot do better and without the aid of encumbrances. ... Agree or disagree with this contention you may, but only when you are made aware of the facts that can be brought to the aid of this conviction. ... The supernaturalist's armamentarium of God, Bible, Heaven, Hell, Soul, Immortality, Sin, The Fall and Redemption of Man, Prayer, Creed, and Dogma, leave as much impression on the mind of intelligent man as would an arrow against a battleship."The author reviews the effects of religious thinking upon various aspects of human history and human thought: science, medicine, morality, witchcraft, warfare, slavery, women, labor, philosophy. He quotes many persons who have written on this subject, both in distant past and in recent years. He argues that the decline of religion and the rise of atheism are inevitable.Copyright note: This book was first published in the United States in 1933 with notice: "Copyright, 1933 BY FREETHOUGHT PRESS ASSOCIATION".

Great Astronomers: Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a mathematician and astronomer who formulated a comprehensive heliocentric model which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the universe, contrary to the prevailing thought at his time which placed the Earth at the center.The publication of Copernicus' book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, is considered a major event in the history of science.This eBook briefly tells the life of Copernicus and explains his key theories: that the rotation of the Earth causes the apparent daily motion of the objects in the sky, not that the universe rotates around the Earth; that the motion of the planets is better explained with the Sun at the center and the Earth and planets rotating around the sun, rather than the Sun, planets, and stars rotating around the earth; that the sometimes-retrograde motion of Mars is an illusion due to the Earth rotating around the Sun faster than Mars does, not that Mars actually reverses its travel.Although Copernicus correctly deduced that the planets rotate around the Sun, he retained the idea that the orbits were circles. This concept was later overturned by Kepler, who computed that the orbits were elliptical based on accurate measurements of the planets' positions in the sky that were made by Tycho Brahe. (See the volumes about Kepler and Brahe in this eBook series on Great Astronomers.)This is one chapter from Great Astronomers by Sir Richard S. Ball (2nd edition, 1907).

The Last of the Mohicans
The Last of the Mohicans is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in January 1826.It was one of the most popular English-language novels of its time. Its narrative flaws were criticized from the start, and its length and elaborately formal prose style have reduced its appeal to later readers. Regardless, The Last of the Mohicans is widely read in American literature courses. This second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy is the best known. The Pathfinder, written 14 years later in 1840, is its sequel.Cooper named a principal character Uncas after the most famous of the Mohicans. The real Mohicans lived in the colony of Connecticut in the mid-seventeenth century, and not in the New York frontier a century later. Uncas was a Mohegan, not a Mohican, and Cooper's usage has helped to confuse the names of two tribes to the present day. When John Uncas, his last surviving male descendant died in 1842, the Newark Daily Advertiser wrote "Last of the Mohegans Gone" lamenting the extinction of the tribe. The writer was not aware that Mohegans still existed then and to the present day.The story takes place in 1757 during the Seven Years' War (known in America as the French and Indian War), when France and the United Kingdom battled for control of the American and Canadian colonies. During this war, the French often allied themselves with Native American tribes in order to gain an advantage over the British, with unpredictable and often tragic results.Source: Wikipedia

Pod plachtami domů - Na plachetnici na cestě kolem světa 3 - Fidži, Vanuatu, Nová Kaledonie, Austrálie, Indonésie, Singapur, Malajsie, Thajsko, Rodrigues, Mauricius, Réunion, Jižní Afrika, Svatá Helena, Karibik
Po třech letech putování po mořích a oceánech jsme se ocitli na opačné straně zeměkoule. Tam začíná naše cesta zpět, cesta domů. Pouze my dva a plachetnice IRMA a před námi téměř 20 000 Nm.
Plavba z Nového Zélandu do Austrálie vedla přes exotické pacifické ostrovy Fidži, Vanuatu a Novou Kaledonii.Později jsme prožili několik měsíců v Sydney, Melbourne a také v obytném autě při 4000 km dlouhé cestě podél východního a jihovýchodního pobřeží Austrálie. Dlouhá a náročná plavba Velkým bariérovým útesem a Torresovým průlivem nastavila zrcadlo našim dovednostem a psychické odolnosti. Potkala nás těžká chvíle, když se loď po uvolnění kotvy nekontrolovaně hnala na útesy.
V Indonésii jsme se měsíce proplétali mezi zapomenutými a chudými ostrovy. Ale nevynechali jsme také věhlasné destinace jako jsou Lombok, Bali a Borneo. Rušným Malackým průlivem pak dopluli do Malajsie a Thajska. Cestou jsme zažili i noční pokus o přepadení.
Až na dno svých sil jsme si sáhli při plavbě Indickým oceánem, podél nebezpečného pobřeží na jihu Afriky a kolem Mysu Dobré Naděje. Z Kapského Města vedla naše cesta na ostrov Svatá Helena. Pak už nás čekal poslední a také nejdelší úsek, plavba do Karibiku. Po 29 dní a nocí jsme viděli kolem sebe jenom nekonečnou pustinu vod Atlantiku. Po téměř šesti letech jsme se ve zdraví opět vrátili do Karibiku, na Martinik.
Prožili jsme mnoho krásných a neopakovatelných, ale také dramatických chvil se šťastným koncem. Byli v mnoha zemích , viděli úžasné přírodní scenérie, ale také místa poškozená činností člověka. Dotkli se a nahlédli do života lidí, který se velmi lišil od našich všedních i svátečních dnů.Viděli jsme jak bohatství tak i bídu světa. Všechno v nás zůstalo.
Autoři:Ing.Jana Honsová (* 1951) a Ing. Otakar Hons,CSc. (*1947) vypluli v roce 2009 ze Švédska na cestu kolem světa na plachetnici IRMA. O svoje zážitky se podělili v knížkách „ Odhoď lana „ a „ Rok pod Jižním křížem „ vydaných nakladatelstvím Agentura KRIGL, Praha. Rovněž pravidelně publikují v časopisech a pořádají zajímavé besedy.
Lacná kniha Caste (-70%)
'Required reading for all of humanity' Oprah Winfrey
'It could not have come at a more urgent time' Fatima Bhutto, Guardian
'An instant American classic' Dwight Garner, The New York Times
'The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power - which groups have it and which do not'
Beyond race or class, our lives are defined by a powerful, unspoken system of divisions. In Caste, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson gives an astounding portrait of this hidden phenomenon. Linking America, India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson reveals how our world has been shaped by caste - and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today.
With clear-sighted rigour, Wilkerson unearths the eight pillars that connect caste systems across civilizations, and demonstrates how our own era of intensifying conflict and upheaval has arisen as a consequence of caste. Weaving in stories of real people, she shows how its insidious undertow emerges every day; she documents its surprising health costs; and she explores its effects on culture and politics. Finally, Wilkerson points forward to the ways we can - and must - move beyond its artificial divisions, towards our common humanity.
Beautifully written and deeply original, Caste is an eye-opening examination of what lies beneath the surface of ordinary lives. No one can afford to ignore the moral clarity of its insights, or its urgent call for a freer, fairer world.
