Deception Point
In the world of page-turning thrillers, Dan Brown holds a special place in the hearts of many of us. After his first book, Digital Fortress, almost passed me by, he wrote Angels and Demons, which was probably one of the half-dozen most exciting thrillers of last year. It is a pleasure to report that his new book lives up to his reputation as a writer whose research and talent make his stories exciting, believable, and just plain unputdownable.
The time is now and President Zachary Herney is facing a very tough re-election. His opponent, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, is a powerful man with powerful friends and a mission: to reduce NASA's spending and move space exploration into the private sector. He has numerous supporters, including many beyond the businesses who will profit from this because of the embarrassment of 1996, when the Clinton administration was informed by NASA that proof existed of life on other planets. That information turned out to be premature, if not incorrect. The embattled president is assured that a rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice will prove to have far-reaching implications on America's space program. The find, however, needs to be verified.

BOOTH
In 1822, a stage is set: Englishman Junius Booth - celebrated Shakespearean actor and man of mesmerising charm and instability - moves to a remote cabin outside Baltimore with his wife, who bears him ten children.
Of the six who survive infancy, one is John Wilkes - the hot-tempered but much-loved middle son who, in 1865, fatally shoots Abraham Lincoln in a Washington theatre, changing the course of history.
What makes a murderer? His family or the world? And how can those who love him ever come to terms with his actions? Strikingly relevant to the world today, Booth is the story of one extraordinary family and the terrible act that shattered their bonds forever.

Icebound
'An epic tale of exploration, daring and tragedy told by a fine historian - and a wonderful writer' Peter Frankopan, author of the bestselling The Silk Roads.
'The name of William Barents isn't that familiar to us these days...but this enthralling, elemental and literally spine-chilling epic of courage and endurance should change all that' Roger Alton, Daily Mail
A dramatic and compelling account of survival against the odds from the golden Age of Exploration.
Since its beginning, the human story has been one of exploration and survival - often against long odds. The longest odds of all might have been faced by Dutch explorer William Barents and his crew of fifteen, who on Barents' third journey into the Far Arctic in the year 1597 lost their ship to a crush of icebergs and, with few weapons and dwindling supplies, spent nine months fighting off ravenous polar bears, gnawing cold and seemingly endless winter.
This is their story.
In Icebound, Andrea Pitzer combines a movie-worthy tale of survival with a sweeping history of the period - a time of hope, adventure and seemingly unlimited scientific and geographic frontiers. At the story's centre is William Barents, one of the sixteenth century's greatest navigators, whose larger-than-life ambitions and obsessive quest to find a path through the deepest, most remote regions of the Arctic ended in both catastrophe and glory - glory because the desperation that his men endured had an epic quality that would echo through the centuries as both warning and spur to polar explorers.
In a narrative that is filled with fascinating tutorials - on such topics as survival at twenty degrees below, the degeneration of the human body when it lacks Vitamin C, the history of mutiny, the practice of keel hauling, the art of celestial navigation and the intricacies of repairing masts and building shelters - the lesson that stands above all others is the feats humans are capable of when asked to double then triple then quadruple their physical capacities.
Lacná kniha New York Mid-Century (-50%)
New York Mid Century is the story of how the Big Apple emerged as the cultural capital of the postwar world in all fields of creative endeavour art, architecture, design, music, theatre and dance. It was a period of intense cross-fertilization, as poets and critics mixed with artists, dealers, musicians, designers, architects, dancers, and choreographers. Richly illustrated with hundreds of paintings, drawings, photographs, elevations, plans, posters, programmes and ephemera, this is a stirring evocation of a remarkably fertile period in the city's history, the styles and aesthetics of which are now very much back in vogue.

Pochvala, stratená krása v súčasnom rýchlom svete
Kniha ponúka zaujímavý a netradičný pohľad na pochvaľovanie, odmeňovanie slovom a motiváciu, ktorá patrí k tým najúčinnejším. Pochvala patrí k fenoménom, na ktoré akoby sa dnes zabúdalo, pretože v súčasnej dobe čoraz častejšie prevažuje materiálne odmeňovanie. Pritom však zriedkavo dokáže dlhodobo motivovať, ako slovo. Správne zvolené slovo má silu, ktorú si málokedy uvedomujeme. Kniha obsahuje také témy ako:- Nedostatok pochvaly- Pretlak pochvaly a závislosť na nej- Zamieňanie pochvaly za materiálnu stránku- Motivácia a pochvala- Odmeňovanie – pozitívne a negatívne stránky- Ako si zaslúžiť pochvalu- Mimoriadne úsilie – priama cesta k pochvale- Časté chyby v prijímaní pochvaly – lichôtky nie sú pochvala- Aj myslenie dokáže ovplyvniť naše výkony a zamedziť pochvalu v našom živote- Komunikácia a pochvala- Kritika, ako správne poukázať na negatívne stránky, ale tiež ako správne motivovať a pochvaľovať. V súčasnom modernom a uponáhľanom svete čoraz viac zabúdame na pochvalu alebo, na druhej strane, sa ňou nechávame až príliš viesť. Mnohí ľudia nedokážu bez pochvaly - buď slovnej, alebo materiálnej - peniaze, rôzne darčeky, majetky, ani existovať. Sú lovcami výkonov a výsledkov, ale pri tom na ceste za svojím postupom „zabíjajú“ všetko prirodzené. Zabúdajú na slušnosť, na láskavé slovo a pochvala sa u nich spája len s jedným - mať úspech za každú cenu a predstihnúť všetkých naokolo. Kniha sa však zameriava aj na pozitíva pochvaly, ale aj na nebezpečenstvo, drogu nazvanú pochvala, či na energetický nápoj s názvom pochvala, ktorý dokáže stimulovať človeka a priviesť ho z útlmu k výkonom a prebudeniu. Uvedomovanie pochvaly je dôležité, a preto pochvala existuje. Bez nej by sme skončili kdesi na smetisku dejín.
The Alpha's Forbidden Mate
Salome has never been in love. That could be because she hates the way that everyone in her backwoods town is the same. So when she catches a guy she’s never seen before staring at her from just beyond the fence at school, she barely knows what to do with herself. He has to be from the secluded community across the river that her father demands that she stay away from. His kind were nothing like them, she was told. So, why does he seem so familiar? And why can’t Salome stop thinking about him?
Rex is impulsive, angry, and dangerous, in other words, your typical shifter wolf in search of their mate. His mother is his pack’s alpha and demands that he choose someone for their pack. But, it can’t be coincidence that a human girl one day showed up at his father’s grave. And there has to be a reason he finds her irresistible… some reason like fate.
If the two of them are going to explore the passion that tears at them both, they are going to have to keep it a secret. Because if it ever gets out that the sheriff’s daughter is with the alpha’s son, the two communities will destroy each other looking for revenge.
‘THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE’ is a high heat, new adult shifter romance with first love, secret romance, and a young couple bonded together by fate.

Lacná kniha Phasma (-50%)
One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands the favor of her superiors, the respect of her peers, and the terror of her enemies. But for all her renown, Phasma remains as virtually unknown as the impassive expression on her gleaming chrome helmet. Now, an adversary is bent on unearthing her mysterious origins—and exposing a secret she guards as zealously and ruthlessly as she serves her masters.
Deep inside the Battlecruiser Absolution, a captured Resistance spy endures brutal interrogation at the hands of a crimson-armored stormtrooper—Cardinal. But the information he desires has nothing to do with the Resistance or its covert operations against the First Order.
What the mysterious stormtrooper wants is Phasma’s past—and with it whatever long-buried scandal, treachery, or private demons he can wield against the hated rival who threatens his own power and privilege in the ranks of the First Order. His prisoner has what Cardinal so desperately seeks, but she won’t surrender it easily. As she wages a painstaking war of wills with her captor, bargaining for her life in exchange for every precious revelation, the spellbinding chronicle of the inscrutable Phasma unfolds. But this knowledge may prove more than just dangerous once Cardinal possesses it—and once his adversary unleashes the full measure of her fury.

Nerilkaís Story and the Coelur
Nerilka's Story. It was in Moreta's time -- a time of legend, of heroic valor, of terrible Threadfall and the Great Plague that devastated both Holders and Dragonfolk. For Lady Nerilka of Fort Hold, the tragedy was twofold, for with the death of her mother and her sister, her father's mistress took possession of the Hold. Angry and betrayed, Nerilka decided to escape and, as Pern seethed in turmoil, she began her perilous journey to Ruatha, Lord Alessan and an unknown destiny. The Coelura. When the Lady Caissa was told by her exalted sire to enter into an heir-contract with Cavernus Gustin she was appalled. For although Gustin was genetically sound he was vain, pompous and intellectually inept. But Caissa's father was determined there should be a union -- he had his own privately plotted plans for such a match. And a few hours later Caissa began to suspect what they were. On a private flight over the forbidden areas of the North, she was alerted by a distress signal -- and there discovered a stranger who said his name was Murell -- a man surrounded by coelura, the incredible rainbow creatures whose very brilliance threatened their extinction. It was the coelura her father wanted. And Murell was determined to save them.

The Cold Start Problem
A transformative guide to growing any business, from one of Silicon Valley's most esteemed investors
Financial Times Business Book of the Month
'A true Silicon Valley insider' Wired
Why do some products take off? And what can we learn from them?
The hardest part of launching a product is getting started. When you have just an idea and a handful of customers, growth can feel impossible. This is the cold start problem.
Andrew Chen has a solution. As a partner at the pre-eminent VC firm Andreesen Horowitz, he has invested in some of the world's fastest-growing companies. Along the way, he's become one of the most renowned bloggers in tech - hailed by Wired as a 'true Silicon Valley insider'.
Now, Chen reveals how any organisation can surmount the cold start problem. His solution lies in the network effect: the way a service improves as more people sign up. It means that today's leading products - from Wikipedia to to WhatsApp - get more powerful with every additional user.
Drawing on interviews with the founders of LinkedIn, Zoom, Uber, Dropbox, Tinder, Airbnb and more, Chen unpicks how to start and scale these network effects. He reveals how to build an 'atomic network' that is just big enough to sustain itself. He uncovers how to spot the tipping point after which growth takes care of itself. And he explores why some big companies manage to sustain viral network effects for years (while others quickly stop growing).
The result is a one-stop guide to scaling a product, road-tested at some of the world's most valuable companies.
Art of War
Sun Tzu was one of the greatest army generals who ever lived. He wrote The Art of War" in the fifth century BC and yet his words are still resoundingly relevant to our modern lives. His writings on aspects of warfare from the laying of plans to the tactics and psychology of manoeuvering an army, to the proper use of spies, resonate for us in today's world of cut-throat, ruthless business. With James Clavell's insightful foreword and notes, this classic is widely seen as a necessity on the bookshelf of military leaders and boardroom executives alike."
