Pyramids
Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy. Which just so happens to be at the Assassins' Guild.
But when Teppic's father dies suddenly, fate takes him away from assassination to something far more unsavoury: politics. Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler.
It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself...
Kukucs, itt vagyok! - Babanapló lány
"Amikor meghallottam, hogy én most már igazán anyuka vagyok, és kislányom van, örültem, hogy végre megszületett és egészséges, és amikor fölsírt, tudtam, hogy csak ő lehet a mi gyerekünk, senki más." - JANIKOVSZKY ÉVA
Visszahozhatatlanok és megismételhetetlenek a gyermekkor napjai, hetei, hónapjai.
A Babanapló ideális ajándék gyermeket váró szülőknek és a nagyszülőknek is, akik évek múlva is felidézhetik gyermekük, unokájuk életének fontos pillanatait.
A játékos illusztrációknak, a rajzoknak és a fotóknak köszönhetően a babanaplóból olyan műalkotás válhat, amelyet a szülők, nagyszülők még évekkel később is szívesen fognak forgatni.
The Global Merchants
The Sassoons were one of the great business dynasties of the nineteenth century, as eminent as traders as the Rothschilds were bankers.
This book reveals the secrets behind the family's phenomenal success: how a handful of Jewish exiles from Ottoman Baghdad forged a mercantile juggernaut from their new home in colonial Bombay, the vast network of agents, informants and politicians they built, and the way they came to bridge East and West, culturally as well as commercially. Through the lives these ambitious figures built for themselves, the reader is drawn into a captivating world of politics and power, innovation and intrigue, high society and empire.
The Global Merchants is thus at once a portrait of a single family and a panorama of the hundred and thirty years of their prominence: from the Opium Wars to the American Civil War, the establishment of the British Raj to India's independence. Together these give a fresh perspective on one of the defining forces of their age and the present: globalization. The Sassoons were variously its agents, advocates and casualties, and watching them moving through the world, we perceive the making of our own.
Fatherland
What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up. His parents immigrated to Oklahoma from Germany after World War II, and though his mother was an historian, she rarely talked about her father or what he did during the war. Then one day a packet of letters arrived from Germany, yellowing with age, and a secret history began to unfold.
Karl Gönner was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party’s brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country’s crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out.
What follows is a literary suspense story: a tale of chance encounters and serendipitous discoveries in villages and dusty archives across Germany and France. Intimate and far-reaching, Fatherland is an extraordinary odyssey through the great upheavals of the past century, tracing one family’s path through history’s wreckage.
For readers of Bart van Es’s The Cut Out Girl or Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with the Amber Eyes, this is a story of middle lands, torn allegiances and loaded family inheritance.

Géniové XX. století Kniha třetí
„Člověk má největší strach z nových myšlenek,“ Nicholas Ridley, objevitel léčby šedého zákalu. Přední popularizátor vědy Karel Pacner přiblížil v encyklopedické knize, která je poslední částí monumentální trilogie, českému čtenáři skutečné hybatele dějin, tedy vědce a objevitele a zároveň srozumitelně vyložil samotnou podstatu objevů, mezi něž patří defibrilátor, nanotechnologie, internet, transplantace či gravitony. Bohužel, technologická exploze 20. století byla často konfrontována s tíhou ideologií, které její vývoj mnohdy ovlivňovaly. Paradoxem všech válečných střetů je, že přinášejí technické a vědecké vynálezy – zjevné jako balistické rakety či nenápadné, jako využití odolných plastů v lékařství. I o tom vypráví nová Pacnerova kniha. Spletité příběhy objevů i morální dilemata objevitelů jsou nastíněny poutavě a napínavě. Géniové XX. (a počátku XXI. století v této knize): Vynálezce nejen dialýzy Willem Johan Kolff Konstruktér raket, prvních družic a kosmických lodí Sergej Pavlovič Koroljov Objevitel léčby šedého zákalu Nicholas Harold Lloyd Ridley Autor laseru Charles Hard Townes Objevitel imunologické snášenlivosti Peter Brian Medawar Inspirátor Vannevar Bush, konstruktéři stolních počítačů André Truong Trong Thi, Alan Key, Eda Roberts, Stephen Wozniak, Don Estridge a jejich programátor Bill Gates Navrhovatel termonukleární elektrárny Andrej Dmitrijevič Sacharov Zakladatel pátrání po vyspělých kosmických sousedech Frank Donald Drake Konstruktér umělého kyčle John Charnley Otec počítačové tomografie Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield Otec nanotechnologie Richard Phillips Feynman Inspirátor internetu Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, vynálezci Robert William Taylor, Lawrence Roberts, Paul Baran, Robert Elliot Kahn, Vinton Gray Cerf, Raymond Tomlinson a Timothy Berners-Lee Christiaan Barnard, chirurg, který transplantoval cizí srdce, podle metodiky vypracované Normanem Edwardem Schumwayem Otec laparoskopie Kurt Semm Objevitelé Helicobaktera pyroli Barry Marshall a Robin Warren Auguste, Jacques a Bertrand Piccardovi – konstruktéři stratosférických balonů, podmořských batyskafů a solárního letounu Vynálezce defibrilátoru Michel Mirowski John Craig Ventera a Francis Sellers Collins, kteří vedli souboj o přečtení dědičné informace člověka Objevitelé gravitonů Joseph Weber, Rainer Weiss, Ronald W.

Umění politické strategie
Světoznámý politolog, historik, poradce pěti amerických prezidentů a laureát Nobelovy ceny míru Henry Kissinger detailně analyzuje kariéru šesti legendárních státníků: Konrada Adenauera, jenž po druhé světové válce přivedl poražené Německo zpět do společenství národů. Charlese de Gaulla, díky němuž se Francie postavila po bok vítězných Spojenců. Richarda Nixona, který vyvedl USA z konfliktu ve Vietnamu a svou konstruktivní zahraniční politiku založil na rovnováze mezi velmocemi. Anvara Sádáta, jenž po čtvrtstoletí konfliktů přinesl na Blízký východ vizi míru. Li Kuang-jaa, který ze Singapuru vytvořil zajištěný, blahobytný a dobře řízený městský stát. A Margaret Thatcherové, jíž se podařilo obnovit hrdost a mezinárodní postavení Velké Británie.
Všichni se zformovali v období, kdy se v Evropě hroutily zavedené instituce, koloniální struktury ustupovaly nezávislým státům v Asii a Africe a ze zbytků starého mezinárodního řádu bylo třeba vytvořit nový. Autor věnuje každé z šesti osobností jeden oddíl, kde podrobně představuje její politický styl i jedinečné charakterové rysy, které se vtiskly do konkrétní vůdcovské strategie. Čtenářům navíc dopřává autentické svědectví, neboť všechny vybrané vůdce, jež považuje za skutečně výjimečné, osobně poznal.
Politické strategie dokazují, že autorova dokonalá paměť a mnohaletá zkušenost představují nepostradatelné zdroje, potřebné pro pochopení moderní světové historie.
Český překlad vychází u příležitosti stých narozenin Henryho Kissingera.
The Lion House
Venice, 1522. Intelligence arrives from the east confirming Europe's greatest fear: the vastly rich Ottoman Sultan has all he needs to wage total war - and his sights are set on Rome. With Christendom divided, Suleyman the Magnificent has his hand on its throat.
From the palaces of Istanbul to the blood-soaked fields of central Europe and the scorched coasts of north Africa, The Lion House tells the true story of two civilisations in an existential duel and the rise of the most feared man of the sixteenth century. It is a tale of the timeless pull of power, dangerous to live with, deadly to live without.

Once Upon a Time There Was and Will Be So Much More
Take a journey from the distant past into a future to be imagined with this gorgeous debut picture book whose gradated pages reflect the passage of time.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, land took shape. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs lived on Earth. Thousands of years ago, people built towering pyramids. Ten years ago, the landscape looked different. A month ago, it was still summer. A minute ago, the light was turned off. Now! Make a wish! What will you be doing in a week? How will you celebrate your birthday next year? What will you discover when you are older? What will hold you in awe forever? Moving inexorably from an age primeval into a future filled with questions, Johanna Schaible brings her beautiful collage artwork to an exploration of time that melds a conceptual vision with a physical one. With each page turn, the pages gradually become smaller - showing more and more borders from the past - until they reach the present moment, then grow larger again as time expands into a future full of possibilities.
