The Last White Man
From the internationally bestselling author of Exit West, a story of love, loss, and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change
One morning, Anders wakes to find that his skin has turned dark, his reflection a stranger to him. At first he tells only Oona, an old friend, newly a lover. Soon, reports of similar occurrences surface across the land.
Some see in the transformations the long-dreaded overturning of an established order, to be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss wars with profound love.
As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance to see one another, face to face, anew.

Book of Lost Tales 2
The second of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkien's epic tale of war, The Silmarillion. This second part of The Book of Lost Tales includes the tale of Beren and Luthien, Turin and the Dragon, and the only full narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin, itself the finest and most exciting depiction of a battle that Tolkien ever wrote. Each tale is followed by a commentary in the form of a short essay, together with texts of associated poems, and contains extensive information on names and vocabulary in the earliest Elvish languages. This series of fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the distinctive and classic style of the 'black cover' A-format paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.

Až na jednu vec
Básnický rukopis Radomíra Andrića nie náhodou vychádza zo slova, darujúceho a osvecujúceho, ktoré nás vyťahuje a dvíha z neznesiteľného bahna každodennosti. Ide o poéziu, ktorá vychádza z centra labyrintu súčasného sveta, ktorá svedčí o jeho ilúzii a hre, o jeho nedokonalosti a zradnosti, o jeho neklíčiacej bezperspektíve, o chaose prachu a víchrici zla, v ktorom sa našiel súčasný človek (Selimír Radulović). Literárna kritika privítala Radomíra Andrića ako básnika „vyostrenej imaginácie, ktorý túži a pátra po novom obraze, novej melódii a význame výrazu“ (Srba Ignjatović). Podľa Engerića ide o básnika „rozvinutého vnútorného života a rozohranej imaginácie“. Kritici sa zhodli v tvrdení, že je to básnik na prameni života a nevysychajúcej národnej reči, ktorá v sebe nesie silu a krásu výrazu. (Miloš Petrović).
Básne vybrali a preložili Martin Prebudila a Miroslav Demák. Doslov napísal Miroslav Bielik. Ilustrácie: Predrag Bajo Luković, na obálke maľba Bogdana Miščevića. Obálka a grafická úprava: Milan Panić.

From the author of the globally bestselling, multi-million-copy classic, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, comes its astonishing and powerful sequel.
Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same mansion block in London for decades. She leads a comfortable, quiet life, despite her dark and disturbing past. She doesn't talk about her escape from Germany over seventy years before. She doesn't talk about the post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn't talk about her father, the commandant of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.
Then, a young family moves into the apartment below her. In spite of herself, Gretel can't help but begin a friendship with the little boy, Henry, though his presence brings back memories she would rather forget. One night, she witnesses a violent argument between Henry's mother and his domineering father, one that threatens Gretel's hard-won, self-contained existence.
Gretel is faced with a chance to expiate her guilt, grief and remorse and act to save a young boy - for the second time in her life. But to do so, she will be forced to reveal her true identity to the world. Will she make a different choice this time, whatever the cost to herself?
All the Broken Places is a devastating, beautiful story about a woman who must confront the sins of her past and a present in which it is never too late for bravery.

Nudging towards Health
Behavioral economics sees “nudges” as ways to encourage people to re-evaluate their priorities in such a way that they voluntarily change their behavior, leading to personal and social benefits. This book examines nudging as a tool for influencing human behavior in health policy. The authors investigate the contemporary scientific discourse on nudging and enrich it with an ontological, epistemological and praxeological analysis of human behavior. On the basis of detailed analyses of the literature and a systemic review, nudging tools are defined in the paradigm of prospect theory. In addition to the theoretical contribution, the book also examines and offers suggestions on the practice of health policy regarding obesity, malnutrition, and especially type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Elizabeth
A personal account of the life and character of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, from the writer who knew her family best.
Gyles Brandreth first met the Queen in 1968, when he was twenty.
Over the next fifty years he met her many times, both at public and at private events. Through his friendship with the Duke of Edinburgh, he was given privileged access to Elizabeth II.
He kept a record of all those encounters, and his conversations with the Queen over the years, his meetings with her family and friends, and his observations of her at close quarters are what make this very personal account of her extraordinary life uniquely fascinating.
From her childhood in the 1920s to the era of Harry and Meghan in the 2020s, from her war years at Windsor Castle to her death at Balmoral, this is both a record of a tumultuous century of royal history and a truly intimate portrait of a remarkable woman.
Beyond Bitcoin
After over a decade of Bitcoin, which has now moved beyond lore and hype into an increasingly robust star in the firmament of global assets, a new and more important question has arisen. What happens beyond Bitcoin? The answer is decentralised finance - 'DeFi'.
Tech and finance experts Steven Boykey Sidley and Simon Dingle argue that DeFi - which enables all manner of financial transactions to take place directly, person to person, without the involvement of financial institutions - will redesign the cogs and wheels in the engines of trust, and make the remarkable rise of Bitcoin look quaint by comparison. It will disrupt and displace fine and respectable companies, if not entire industries.
Sidley and Dingle explain how DeFi works, introduce the organisations and individuals that comprise the new industry, and identify the likely winners and losers in the coming revolution.

LTC Praha 1927-1950
„LTC Praha 1927 - 1950 - Historie legendárního hokejového klubu“, na 240 stranách přibližuje 23 let trvající existenci jednoho z nejlepších evropských hokejových týmů třicátých let minulého století, jehož hráči tvořili po dvě desetiletí základ československého reprezentačního týmu, včetně týmů mistrů světa z let 1947 a 1949.
Po likvidaci klubu komunistickou mocí v roce 1950 se o klubu, jeho vynikajících výsledcích, na dnešní poměry zcela nepředstavitelné dominanci na domácím ledě, ani o většině jeho vynikajících hráčů, nemohlo mluvit a psát, a klub, i díky nezájmu hokejových publicistů, téměř upadl do zapomnění. Ani svobodné poměry po roce 1990 nepřinesly výraznou změnu, a do dnešních dnů se hokejový klub, který v letech 1927 - 1950 s výjimkou dvou sezon zcela ovládl nejvyšší domácí hokejové soutěže, nedočkal publikace, která by hokejovou veřejnost podrobně seznámila s jeho slavnou historií a výjimečnými hráči. Represport, provozovatel internetového muzea na stránkách www.reprehokej.cz, tento dluh, který vůči klubu má celá odborná hokejová veřejnost, alespoň částečně splácí touto publikací, která přináší, kromě portrétů všech hráčů, kteří v nedlouhé klubové historii oblékali jeho dres, kompletního přehledu zápasových sestav a statistik i snad čtivého textu, i bohatý fotografický doprovod většinou z archivu klubu či rodinných alb bývalých hráčů.
The Man Who Solved the Market
Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.
After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance - to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data embraced by almost every industry today.
As Renaissance became a major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency - he placed Steve Bannon in the campaign, funded Trump's victorious 2016 effort and backed alt-right publication Breitbart. Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign as he made significant investments in Cambridge Anatlytica. For all his prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would impact his firm and the world.
In this fast-paced narrative, Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street, and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond finance.
