Ella doesn't want him anymore. She says they'll only destroy each other. She might be right.

A kétkedő Darwin
CHARLES DARWIN, a visszahúzódó biológus elképesztő felfedezése – a természetes kiválasztódás, amely az evolúció fő hajtóereje – alapjaiban változtatta meg a tudományt és az emberek világképét. Mintegy két évtized telt el elmélete kidolgozása és publikálása között, annak üzenete ugyanis még alkotóját is megrémisztette. Darwin, a végletekig óvatos angol úriember gondolatai nemcsak tudományos szempontból voltak radikálisak, hanem a korabeli törvények szerint istenkáromlás címén büntethetőnek is számítottak. David Quammen a tudós jegyzetfüzetein, levelezésén és naplóin keresztül meghitt portrét rajzol Darwinról, és közérthetően foglalja össze munkásságát. DAVID QUAMMEN író-újságíró tizenkét könyv, köztük a számos rangos nemzetközi díjat nyert The Song of the Dodo és a Spillover szerzője. Több száz újságcikke jelent meg az Esquire, a National Geographic, a Rolling Stone, illetve a The New York Times hasábjain.

Desperate Remedies
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES AND DAILY TELEGRAPH'A riveting chronicle of faulty science, false promises, arrogance, greed, and shocking disregard for the wellbeing of patients suffering from mental disorders. An eloquent, meticulously documented, clear-eyed call for change' Dirk WittenbornIn this masterful work, Andrew Scull, one of the most provocative thinkers writing about psychiatry, sheds light on its troubled historyFor more than two hundred years, disturbances of reason, cognition and emotion - the sort of things that were once called 'madness' - have been described and treated by the medical profession. Mental illness, it is said, is an illness like any other - a disorder that can treated by doctors, whose suffering can be eased, and from which patients can return.
And yet serious mental illness remains a profound mystery that is in some ways no closer to being solved than it was at the start of the twentieth century. In this clear-sighted and provocative exploration of psychiatry, acclaimed sociologist Andrew Scull traces the history of its attempts to understand and mitigate mental illness: from the age of the asylum and surgical and chemical interventions, through the rise and fall of Freud and the talking cure, and on to our own time of drug companies and antidepressants. Through it all, Scull argues, the often vain and rash attempts to come to terms with the enigma of mental disorder have frequently resulted in dire consequences for the patient.
Deeply researched and lucidly conveyed, Desperate Remedies masterfully illustrates the assumptions and theory behind the therapy, providing a definitive new account of psychiatry's and society's battle with mental illness.
Reckoning
America is suffering from PTSD. The Reckoning diagnoses its core causes and helps begin the healing process.
For four years, Donald J Trump inflicted an onslaught of overlapping and interconnected traumas upon the American people, targeting anyone he perceived as being an 'other' or an enemy. Women were discounted and derided, the sick were dismissed as weak and unworthy of help, immigrants and minorities were demonised and discriminated against and money was elevated above all else. In short, he transformed America into a macro version of his malignantly dysfunctional family.
How can Americans make sense of the degree to which their institutions and leaders have let them down? How can they negotiate a world in which all sense of safety and justice seems to have been destroyed? How can they - as individuals and as a nation - confront, process and overcome this loss of trust and the ways they have been forever altered by chaos, division and cruelty? And when the dust finally settles, how can they begin to heal, in the midst of ongoing health and economic crises and the greatest political divide since the Civil War?
Mary L Trump is uniquely positioned to answer these difficult questions. She holds a PhD in clinical psychology specialising in trauma, has herself been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and happens to be Donald J Trump's only niece. In The Reckoning, she applies her unique expertise to the task of helping Americans confront an all-encompassing trauma, one that has taken an immense toll on their nation's health and well-being.
A new leader alone cannot fix the situation. Donald J Trump is only the latest symptom of a disease that has existed within the body politic since America's inception - from the original sin of slavery through its population's unceasing, organised commitment to inequality. An enormous amount of healing must be done to rebuild the lives of Americans, their faith in leadership and their hope for their nation. It starts with The Reckoning.
The Women of Troy
Troy has fallen. The Greeks have won their bitter war. They can return home as victors - all they need is a good wind to lift their sails. But the wind has vanished, the seas becalmed by vengeful gods, and so the warriors remain in limbo - camped in the shadow of the city they destroyed, kept company by the women they stole from it.
The women of Troy.
Helen - poor Helen. All that beauty, all that grace - and she was just a mouldy old bone for feral dogs to fight over.
Cassandra, who has learned not to be too attached to her own prophecies. They have only ever been believed when she can get a man to deliver them.
Stubborn Amina, with her gaze still fixed on the ruined towers of Troy, determined to avenge the slaughter of her king.
Hecuba, howling and clawing her cheeks on the silent shore, as if she could make her cries heard in the gloomy halls of Hades. As if she could wake the dead.
And Briseis, carrying her future in her womb: the unborn child of the dead hero Achilles. Once again caught up in the disputes of violent men. Once again faced with the chance to shape history.
Masterful and enduringly resonant, ambitious and intimate, The Women of Troy continues Pat Barker's extraordinary retelling of one of our greatest classical myths, following on from the critically acclaimed The Silence of the Girls.
Finanční strategie krok za krokem
Finanční strategie je významným nástrojem zvyšování hodnoty firmy pro akcionáře. Nabízí celou řadu prostředků, s nimiž lze velmi účinně a efektivně pracovat a které, jsou-li vhodně použity, přinášejí výsledný pozitivní efekt v relativně krátkém čase. Účinnost finanční strategie záleží především na kvalitě manažerských týmů. Finanční strategie, obdobně jako ostatní funkční strategie či průřezová strategie, musí vycházet z analýzy mise a vize společnosti a nadřazených strategií. Cíle finanční strategie musí být v souladu se strategickými cíli podniku. Je přitom velmi důležité, aby oblast firemních financí byla efektivně řízena na všech úrovních – strategické, taktické i operativní. Praxe však ukazuje, že strategická úroveň řízení firemních financí bývá často zanedbávána a pozornost se zaměřuje především na „taktiku“, případně „operativu“. Finanční strategie obvykle zůstává ve stínu finančních analýz a finančního plánování, a to i v odborné literatuře. Publikace je zaměřena prakticky – poskytuje návod, jak vytvořit vhodnou finanční strategii. Objasňuje, jak je nezbytné metodicky postupovat, na co klást důraz a čeho se naopak vyvarovat.
Kniha je určena nejen manažerům a vlastníkům firem, ale také studentům MBA studia i studentům VŠ ekonomického zaměření.
Hard Time
There have always been idiots who want to change history. But now temporal tourism is on the rise. Highly illegal, highly risky - and highly lucrative.
The Time Police despatch their toughest undercover agents to take out the perpetrators. Then the unthinkable happens. Replacements are needed fast and who better than three young officers who barely look the part?
Step forward Team Weird - Luke, Jane and Matthew. They might still be in training. Their methods might be unorthodox. But, as the Time Police face their greatest ever threat, Team Weird might be their only shot at survival.

ktorá zažije intenzívnu sériu vydaní albmov pokrývajúcich jej prelomovú kariéru.
"50 Number Ones" oslavuje svoju vládu klubového tanca desiatkami remixov od najlepších
producentov na svete. Okrem obľúbených hitov obsahuje kolekcia aj výber vzácnych

oslavuje 35 rokov, predal viac ako 5 miliónov kópií po celom svete a je stále druhým najpredávanejším albumom všetkých čias.
Zbierka tiež vzdáva hold skladbe „Everybody“, prvému singlu Madonny, ktorý 6. októbra oslavuje svoje 40. výročie.
Madonna prepracovala chronológiu albumu výberom troch úprav od You Can Dance, vrátane „Into The Groove“,

jej prvé nahrávky ako umelkyne Sire. Spolu s týmito raritami obsahujú tieto albumy verzie, ktoré vychádzajú

Sweat
From the author of Insomniac City 'who can tackle just about any subject in book form, and make you glad he did' (San Francisco Chronicle): a cultural, scientific, literary, and personal history of exercise
Exercise is our modern obsession, and we have the fancy workout gear and fads to prove it. Exercise - a form of physical activity distinct from sports, play, or athletics - was an ancient obsession, too, but as a chapter in human history, it's been largely overlooked. In Sweat, Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins, walks, bikes, boxes, lifts, sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the origins of different forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over time, and dissecting the dynamics of human movement.
Hippocrates, Plato, Galen, Susan B. Anthony, Jack LaLanne, and Jane Fonda, among many others, make appearances in Sweat, but chief among the historical figures is Girolamo Mercuriale, a Renaissance-era Italian physician who aimed singlehandedly to revive the ancient Greek "art of exercising" through his 1569 book De arte gymnastica. In the pages of Sweat, Mercuriale and his illustrated treatise are vividly brought back to life. asHayes ties his own personal experience to the cultural and scientific history of exercise, from ancient times to the present day, he gives us a new way to understand its place in our lives in the 21st century.

Ear
A paranoid thriller of life under surveillance in Communist Czechoslovakia.
A deputy minister in the Communist Party, Ludvík enjoys all the luxuries that political success affords him, but he must be careful since he knows the secret police have bugged his apartment.
Penned under the oppressive watch of Soviet authorities in 1960s Czechoslovakia—but touching on still-current themes of surveillance and paranoia—this darkly comic, cinematic thriller is as tense and timely as ever. Author Jan Procházka knew firsthand the gnawing terror of life in a surveillance state. A promising Party member who became persona non grata after the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, his own apartment was discovered to contain no less than twelve hidden microphones.
