We Need to Talk About Kevin
This title presents a film starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, directed by Lynne Ramsay, to premiere at Cannes in May 2011, with UK release in summer 2011. Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.

Yes to Life In Spite of Everything
Just months after his liberation from Auschwitz renowned psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl delivered a series of talks revealing the foundations of his life-affirming philosophy. The psychologist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience and his conviction that every crisis contains opportunity.
Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say 'yes to life' - a profound and timeless lesson for us all.
With an introduction by Daniel Goleman.
Skeptics' Guide to the Future
Our predictions of the future are a wild fantasy, inextricably linked to our present hopes and fears, biases and ignorance. Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the '60s, which didn't anticipate the sexual revolution or women's liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations.
The best we can do is try to absorb from futurism's checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.
In The Skeptics' Guide To The Future, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Applying their trademark skepticism, they carefully extrapolate upon each scientific development, leaving no stone unturned as they lay out a vision for the future of tomorrow.

Příprava do školky Kreslení
V tomto sešitě, založeném na výukové metodě Kumon, dítě rozvíjí prostorové vnímání a procvičuje si schopnost ovládat tužku, dovednost potřebnou pro psaní písmen a číslic. Nejprve bude vaše dítě kreslit cestu rozmanitými bludišti dle vyznačeného směru. Postupně, jak bude dítě při práci s tužkou čím dál obratnější, bude pracovat na složitějších bludištích. Procházením bludišti se zábavným způsobem učí, jak správně držet a používat tužku. Postupem od jednoduššího ke složitějšímu je dítě motivováno a není na něj vyvíjen žádný tlak, který by jej frustroval. Samo chce pokračovat v procvičování a na konci sešitu je jeho pokrok znatelný. Při procházení bludišti si dítě také osvojuje schopnost logického úsudku, rozumového zdůvodnění a vyhodnocení, neboť musí neustále přemýšlet a vyhodnocovat, jak vyjít z bludiště ven. Sešit snese i drsnější zacházení a opakované gumování.

Lacná kniha How Not To Be Wrong : The Hidden Maths of Everyday
The maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Godel's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.

How to Speak Whale
A thrilling investigation into the pioneering world of animal communication, where big data and artificial intelligence are changing our relationship with animals forever
In 2015, wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill was whale watching when a humpback breached onto his kayak and nearly killed him. After a video clip of the event went viral, Tom found himself inundated with theories about what happened. He became obsessed with trying to find out what the whale had been thinking and sometimes wished he could just ask it. In the process of making a film about his experience, he discovered that might not be such a crazy idea.
This is a story about the pioneers in a new age of discovery, whose cutting-edge developments in natural science and technology are taking us to the brink of decoding animal communication - and whales, with their giant mammalian brains and sophisticated vocalisations, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for us to do so. Using 'underwater ears,' robotic fish, big data and machine intelligence, leading scientists and tech-entrepreneurs across the world are working to turn the fantasy of Dr Dolittle into a reality, upending much of what we know about these mysterious creatures. But what would it mean if we were to make contact? And with climate change threatening ever more species with extinction, would doing so alter our approach to the natural world?
Enormously original and hugely entertaining, How to Speak Whale is an unforgettable look at how close we truly are to communicating with another species - and how doing so might change our world beyond recognition.

Husserl a otázka Co je normální?
Edmund Husserl, zakladatel moderní fenomenologie, svým filosofickým dílem otevřel cestu pro určující směry a klíčové osobnosti duchovního a myšlenkového vývoje dvacátého a jedenadvacátého století. Detailní analýzy základních problémů lidského uvažování, prováděné soustavně po řadu desetiletí, ovlivňují mnohotvárnými podněty vývoj filosofie i příbuzných oborů už déle než sto let a poskytují účinné nástroje k orientaci ve světě a životě lidem způsobilým hlubší a komplexní reflexe. Husserlův přístup k otázce Co je normální? zřetelně ukazuje aktuálnos a živý smysl jeho myšlení, zároveň však naznačuje možnosti věrohodné a plodné polemiky s omyly a zmatky takzvaného postmodernistického uvažování.

Dear to Me
In summer 2017, celebrated Swiss architect Peter Zumthor curated the exhibition Dear to Me at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, marking the 20th anniversary of one of his most famous designs. Part of the program were conversations with philosophers, curators, historians, composers, writers, photographers, collectors, and craftsmen that Zumthor had invited to contribute to the exhibition. His dialogues with them offer insights into the thoughts and practice of fascinating personalities. Together with his counterparts, he explores artistic preferences and practices, reasonings, as well as practical knowledge from artisanal experience. Always charming and affectionate, he follows-up persistently, and takes his guests with gentle determination on mutual intellectual strolls.
The equally serious and serene conversations with Anita Albus, Aleida Assmann, Marcel Beyer, Helene Binet, Hannes Boehringer, Renate Breuss, Claudia Comte, Bice Curiger, Esther Kinsky, Ralf Konersmann, Walter Lietha, Olga Neuwirth, Rebecca Saunders, Karl Schloegel, Martin Seel, Ruedi Walli, and Wim Wenders are collected in 17 booklets held together in an exquisitely manufactured box. An 18th complementary booklet documents the Dear to Me exhibition in Bregenz through concise texts, images, drawings and plans.
