Roverandom (Pocket Hardback)
J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy story about the adventures of a bewitched toy dog, written before The Hobbit. While on holiday in 1925, four-year-old Michael Tolkien lost his beloved toy dog on the beach at Filey in Yorkshire. To console him, his father, J.R.R.Tolkien, improvised a story about Rover, a real dog who is magically transformed into a toy and is forced to seek out the wizard who wronged him in order to be returned to normal. This charming tale, peopled by a sand-sorcerer and a terrible dragon, by the king of the sea and the Man-in-the-Moon, was Tolkien's first full-length children's book, written before The Hobbit. Now, nearly 90 years later, the adventures of Rover - or, for reasons that become clear in the story, 'Roverandom' - are published in this delightful pocket hardback edition. Rich in wit and wordplay, Roverandom is edited and introduced by Tolkien experts Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond, and includes Tolkien's own delightful illustrations.
Dějiny čtení
Ve své knize Dějiny čtení dosáhl spisovatel, překladatel, editor a především milovník knih a čtení Albert Manguel (nar. 1948) ideálního souladu mezi odborností a vášnivým zaujetím. Jeho pojetí čtení je postaveno na osobních vyznáních, útržcích z vlastního života včetně zasvětitelského zážitku, kdy ho téměř slepý J. L. Borges jednou v Buenos Aires požádal, aby k němu docházel a předčítal mu. Manguel představuje různé typy čtení (tiché čtení, předčítání, autorské čtení, věštění z knih a další), jejichž výklad často začíná historkami ze života známých spisovatelů či osobností kultury. To vše je zakotveno v historii, dějinnosti, která dává možnost vidět, jak se čtení proměňovalo a jakými zásadními zlomy procházelo a jaké hmotné prostředky v té které době mělo k dispozici (papyrus, pergamen, knihtisk, ale třeba i brýle). Manguelova kniha nás sugestivním způsobem svého výkladu přesvědčuje, že i našimi osobními čtenářskými životopisy probíhá velký „příběh" dějin čtení.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
"This special edition of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPre. " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal -- even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.

Big Data
New and expanded edition.
An International Bestseller - Over One Million Copies Sold!
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
Since Aristotle, we have fought to understand the causes behind everything. But this ideology is fading. In the age of big data, we can crunch an incomprehensible amount of information, providing us with invaluable insights about the what rather than the why.
We're just starting to reap the benefits: tracking vital signs to foresee deadly infections, predicting building fires, anticipating the best moment to buy a plane ticket, seeing inflation in real time and monitoring social media in order to identify trends. But there is a dark side to big data. Will it be machines, rather than people, that make the decisions? How do you regulate an algorithm? What will happen to privacy? Will individuals be punished for acts they have yet to commit?
In this groundbreaking and fascinating book, two of the world's most-respected data experts reveal the reality of a big data world and outline clear and actionable steps that will equip the reader with the tools needed for this next phase of human evolution.

Prvotina Ivana Blatného (1919-1990) Paní Jitřenka (1940) a po ní následující Melancholické procházky (1942) je zpěvnou lyrikou, má názvuky seifertovské i nezvalovské, je adorací rodného Brna. Sugestivní melodičnost, melancholické ladění, mládí proměněné v naléhavost poezie. Městskou kulisu má také třetí sbírka napsaná v intencích Skupiny 42. Návrat k rytmicky pravidelnému verši přináší Hledání přítomného času (1947). Blatný, Kainarův druh (bydleli spolu), byl se dvěma dalšími autory vyslán Syndikátem čs. spisovatelů do Velké Británie a 29. března 1948 se rozhodl emigrovat. Čekal ho svízelný úděl - záhy u něho propukla duševní choroba. Od r. 1954 až do smrti byl hospitalizován na psychiatrické klinice. Poezii přesto neopustil. R. 1969 byl v Anglii `objeven` svým bratrancem. Z bohaté pozůstalosti byly publikovány básně v souborech Stará bydliště a Pomocná škola Bixley, poprvé vyšly v nakladatelství 68 Publishers v Torontu.

Desátek
Lydie Romanská (*1943) prožívá svůj život tak trochu stranou hlavních cest v prostředí Ostravska, kdysi výrazně dělnickém. Navzdory tomu je básnířkou s intenzivním vztahem k umění, a to nejen slovesnému. V civilním povolání řídí Základní uměleckou školu v Ostravě-Svinově a diriguje dětský pěvecký sbor Cantabo. Do jejího světa neodmyslitelně patří i životní druh, hudební skladatel Dobroslav Lidmila, mj. tvůrce vokálních skladeb na texty své ženy. (Viz fragmenty partitur použité k ilustracím v této knize.) Přestože značná část publikačních aktivit Lydie Romanské je také spojena s Ostravou, rozhodně není autorkou regionální. Náš svazek s názvem Desátek — výbor z deseti tiskem vydaných básnických knih — dokazuje, že její tvorba má místo v kontextu celé české lyriky. Nepostrádá typickou ženskou jemnost a senzitivnost, ale jak poznamenává editor svazku Jiří Urbanec „stále se pokouší pochopit a scelit obraz světa, který je navýsost i ve zdánlivě zastrčených a nevšímaných detailech dramatický...“

Mammoth Book of Zombies
The zombie - a soulless corpse raised from the grave to do its master's bidding - may have had its factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of the West Indies, but it is in fiction, movies, video games and comics that the walking dead have flourished. What makes a zombie? This Twentieth Anniversary Edition of one of the first and most influential zombie anthologies answers that question with 26 tales of rot and resurrection from classic authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, M. R. James and J. Sheridan Le Fanu, along with modern masters of the macabre Clive Barker, Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, Hugh B. Cave, Joe R. Lansdale, Brian Lumley, Graham Masterton, Kim Newman, Michael Marshall Smith, Lisa Tuttle, Karl Edward Wagner and many more. From Caribbean rituals to ancient magic, mesmerism to modern science, these terrifying tales depict a wide range of nefarious methods and questionable reasons for bringing the dead back to life again.

We Learn Nothing
"Kreider locates the right simile and the pith of situations as he carefully catalogues humanity's inventive and manifold ways of failing" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In We Learn Nothing, satirical cartoonist Tim Kreider turns his funny, brutally honest eye to the dark truths of the human condition, asking big questions about human-sized problems: What if you survive a brush with death and it doesn't change you? Why do we fall in love with people we don't even like? How do you react when someone you've known for years unexpectedly changes genders? With a perfect combination of humor and pathos, these essays, peppered with Kreider's signature cartoons, leave us with newfound wisdom and a unique prism through which to examine our own chaotic journeys through life. These are the conversations you have only with best friends or total strangers, late at night over drinks, near closing time. This edition also includes the sensationally popular essay "The Busy Trap," as seen in the New York Times.

Art 20th Century
The century that changed art forever. This is the quintessential roundup of art from 1900-2000. Who could possibly have forecast on New Year's Eve 1899 that, one hundred years later, painting and sculpture would be only options, not prerequisites? The term "art" has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings. Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopaedic masterwork does just what it says on the cover. Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to art of the 20th century. An undertaking as immensely ambitious as this one deserves to be owned by everyone, which is why we decided to make a special, more compact edition in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

Grace Abounding
I evidently saw that unless the great God of his infinite grace and bounty, had voluntarily chosen me to be a vessel of mercy, though I should desire, and long, and labour until my heart did break, no good could come of it ...How can you tell you are Elected?' (GA, 47) In seventeenth-century England, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination, with its belief in the predetermined salvation of the few and damnation of the many, led many Christians to an anguished search for evidence of God's favour. John Bunyan's Grace Abounding records this spiritual crisis and its gruelling fluctuations between hope and despair in all its psychological intensity. It is a classic of spiritual autobiography - a genre which flourished in seventeenth-century England, as anxiety over one's spiritual state encouraged rigorous self-scrutiny and the sharing of spiritual experiences. This edition sets Grace Abounding alongside four of the most interesting and varied contemporary spiritual autobiographies, making its cultural milieu more meaningful to the modern reader.

Essential Cecil Beaton
Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of many facets and extraordinary skill. He was a successful theatre designer, a writer, a fashion and society photographer, as well as a gardener. As a photographer, he was world-famous. The secret of his success was probably his ability to capture with his photographs a whole era, as a kind of master of ceremonies to the British Empire. Always self-assured and stylish, he depicts with his customary elegance and panache the high and low of the century: The British Royal family, the nobility, the London bohemian scene, and the New York underground. Since the Nineteen-Twenties, his work has been unique in depicting the international "Zeitgeist." Without doubt, Cecil Beaton's photographic work is one of the most important contributions to the history of art and photography of the 20th century. This marvelous volume which offers a comprehensive and complete presentation of Beaton's work and life will now be available again in a hardcover edition.
