Lacná kniha Třetí dráp boží
Když bylo Andree osm let, posedli ji neznámí démoni a udělali z ní válečného zločince. A teď, o několik desetiletí později, ji znovu volají. Andrea je oficiální zaměstnankyní Diplomatického sboru, tajným agentem všemocných umělých inteligencí známých jako Zdroj a z hloubi duše nenávidí kruté Bettelhiňany, obchodníky se smrtí, kteří profitují na zániku celých civilizací.V románu Třetí dráp boží dostává záhadnou pozvánku na jejich domovskou planetu Xana, kde platí jediný zákon - ten bettelhinský -, a z vrozené zvědavosti ji přijímá. Hned v orbitálním přístavu ji však přivítá pokus o vraždu a mnohem napínavější drama se poté rozpoutá na palubě kosmického výtahu cestou k povrchu planety.Andrea zůstane vězet kilometry nad Xanou s podezřívavými Bettelhiňany, jejich absolutně oddanými otroky a mrtvolou, kterou 15 000 let stará zbraň proměnila na louži organické kapaliny. Pokud včas neodhalí vraha, hrozí jí stejně hrůzná smrt. Avšak skutečný důvod jejího příjezdu na Xanu, spolu s ohavnými tajemstvími její temné minulosti, ji může zlikvidovat mnohem důkladněji než Dráp boží.

Bettina Rheims
Since her first photographs in the late ’70s, Bettina Rheims has defied the predictable. From her series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to her cycle on the life of Jesus in I.N.R.I.(1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), her work has shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at the breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty and imperfection.
This limited Collector’s Edition is the ultimate Rheims retrospective, showcasing more than 500 photographs from 35 years of daring, often defiant, photography. Personally selected and assembled by Rheims, the collection juxtaposes renowned series such as Chambre Close with many previously unpublished archival pictures. A companion volume assembles press cuttings, behind-the-scenes material, and personal memories to trace her illustrious career.
Spanning commercial work and artistic series, the retrospective impresses with each turn of the page, as much for the vigor of each image as for the variety of Rheims’s subjects and aesthetics. With equal attention to anonymous subjects cast in the street as to such global beauty stars as Kate Moss, Madonna, Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer,and Naomi Campbell, the book showcases Rheims’s particular interest in female fragility and strength, and of the magic encounter between model and the artist which disrupts codes of so-called eroticism to build up a new image system for womanhood.
Limited Collector’s Edition of 800 copies, each signed by Bettina Rheims.
Barový kvet
Cez deň je Tokio typické rušné japonské veľkomesto, zato v noci sa mení na plávajúci svet, ukio, v ktorom muži po odchode z práce hľadajú únik v početných baroch. Hoci Američanku Leu Jacobsonovú fascinoval japonský jazyk a kultúra, ťažko si po príc
hode na ostrovy zvykala na život v prísne štruktúrovanej japonskej spoločnosti. Keď ju vyhodili z materskej školy, kde učila angličtinu, našla si prácu hostesky v nočnom klube na tokijskej Ginze. Každý večer sa premieňala na bábiku, ktorej úlohou je
lichotiť mužom, flirtovať, nalievať im alkohol a popíjať spolu s nimi. Práca hostesky, odvodená od tradície gejše, Leu svojím falošným leskom priam pohltila. Keďže Leino vnímanie reality poznačilo popíjanie alkoholu, za čo ju vlastne platili, a keďže
každý večer sa musela premieňať na ženu, akou v skutočnosti nebola, začala sa strácať v tejto zradnej hre fantázií. Postupne zistila, že je takmer nemožné vyslobodiť sa z pavučiny tohto životného štýlu. Autorka nám približuje súčasnú, európskej vere
jnosti málo známu a aj ťažko pochopiteľnú kultúru Japonska. Ponúka autentický pohľad na bežný život obyvateľov Tokia, metropoly krajiny, kde je hlboko zakorenená úcta voči autoritám a blaho spoločnosti je povýšené nad individuálny prospech. Tradične
dominantní muži si za to nárokujú aspoň ilúziu vlastnej dôležitosti, plávajúci svet, kde aj obyčajnému prepracovanému úradníkovi padajú ženy k nohám i keď za poplatok. Ukio je pominuteľný ako krása kvetu, deštruktívny ako oheň, opojný a návykový
ako alkohol... Z anglického originálu Bar Flower (St. Martins Press, New York, USA) preložila Tamara Chovanová.
Lacná kniha Age of Innocence Football 1970s (-70%)
It was Pelé who coined the phrase “the beautiful game”, and in the 1970s the gamewas at its most beautiful, free-flowing and entertaining. Football became truly international thanks to extraordinarily talented teams and charismatic players who became the first generation of football superstars, long before David Beckham stripped down to his underwear.
This book tackles the global and cultural impact of the game, the memorable fashions, the girlfriends, the cars, the politics, the fans, the hooligans, the passion, the thrills and, of course, the sideburns. It’s a joint celebration of the world’s most popular sport and the sizzling 70s – including the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, the first football championship televised in colour, and won by the legendary Brazilian side led by Pelé; the 1974 World Cup, dominated by the intense rivalry between the powerful West German side and the “Total Football” of the Dutch team; the 1978 World Cup, hosted and won by Argentina; and the extraordinary club sides such as Ajax, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and the New York Cosmos.
The Age of Innocence features photography by Neil Leifer, Peter Robinson, Gerry Cranham, Terry O’Neill, Volker Hinz, Jerry Cooke, Harry Benson, Sven Simon, and many others, as well as images sourced from archives all over the world, and essays from award-winning football writers Rob Hughes, David Goldblatt, Brian Glanville and Barney Ronay.

Tipping Point
The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea, trend, or social behaviour crosses a threshhold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a sick individual in a crowded store can start can epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely
targeted push cause a fashion trend or the popularity of a new restaurant to take off overnightor crime or drug use to taper off. Gladwell has explored this theory to great acclaim in several articles in The New Yorker. Here, he shows how very minor
adjustments in products and ideas can make them more likely to become hugely popular. He reveals how east it is to cause group behaviour to tip in a desirable direction by making small changes in our immediate environment. The Tipping Point contains
a profoundly hopeful idea that people will embrace for its sense and simplicity: one imaginative person, applying a well-placed lever, can move the world. Examples are recognizable: in the New York subways, removing graffiti caused a dramatic reducti
on in crime; a specific hip group of teenagers wore Hush Puppies and suddenly sparked a national craze. This is a book that should be read by everyone in business, politics, marketing, advertising, and anyone interested in trends, fashion, fads, poli
cy making, and human behaviour. In other words, all of us. A brilliant and groundbreaking book. Author looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. An intellectual adventure story written with an infectious ent
husiasm for the power and joy of new ideas.

Záhadná snúbenica
Zoznámte sa so súrodencami Sharpovcami – piatimi nespútanými, zhýralými a škandalóznymi členmi šľachtického rodu zo Stonevillu, ktorí si musia vybrať: buď do roka uzavrú manželstvo, alebo stratia nárok na dedičstvo.
Lord Oliver Stoneville, najstarší zo súrodencov Sharpovcov, je nenapraviteľný záletník a zarytý starý mládenec. Zdá sa však, že s týmto spôsobom života, ktorý mu dokonale vyhovuje, je navždy koniec. Starej matke Hetty, ktorá sa po tragickej smrti rodičov o súrodencov starala, totiž došla trpezlivosť a postavila ich pred ultimátum: alebo sa do konca roka oženia či vydajú, alebo môžu zabudnúť na dedičstvo. Oliver, ktorý zo všetkého najmenej túži po manželskom chomúte, sa rozhodne prejsť starej mame cez rozum a najať si ženu, ktorá bude hrať jeho snúbenicu. Tento skvelý plán však sám ohrozí tým, že úlohu falošnej snúbenice zverí krásnej mladej Američanke, ktorá ho od samého začiatku neodolateľne priťahuje...

The Universe Has Your Back
Want to stop chasing life and truly live? Relinquish your fears, transform your blocks and discover the secrets to manifesting long-lasting happiness, success and freedom.
'My commitment with this book is to wake up as many people as possible to their connection to faith and joy. In that connection, we can be guided to our true purpose: to be love and spread love. These words can no longer be cute buzz phrases that we merely post on social media. Rather, these words must be our mission. The happiness, safety and security we long for lies in our commitment to love.'
Through acceptance, surrender and a commitment to her continually evolving spiritual path, New York Times bestselling author and international speaker Gabrielle Bernstein has been transforming her fear into faith. Her stories and universal lessons provide a framework for releasing the blocks to what everyone most longs for: happiness, security and clear direction. These lessons can help us cease the need to control in order to relax into a sense of certainty and freedom.
Ride the swell of your energy and true power to find strength when you are down, synchronicity and support when you are lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy in what might otherwise be pain. Bernstein has secrets to reveal, and she is determined to unleash the presence of your power with the comforting knowledge that the Universe has your back.
Beren and Luthien
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Luthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.
The tale of Beren and Luthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year.
Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Luthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Luthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Luthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Luthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril.
In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Luthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.
Trestné právo v zdravotníctve
Publikácia „Trestné právo v zdravotníctve“ je primárne zameraná na problematiku trestnoprávnej ochrany života a zdravia človeka. Výpočet a výklad jednotlivých trestných činov zameraných na poruchové a ohrozujúce trestné činy proti ľudskému životu a zdraviu je značne extenzívny - pozornosť je venovaná aj tým trestným činom, ktoré s poskytovaním zdravotnej starostlivosti v tom ustálenom, klasickom ponímaní priamo nesúvisia, resp. súvisia len okrajovo, no v rámci uceleného a komplexného spracovania trestnoprávnej ochrany života a zdravia bolo nevyhnutné sa im v tejto publikácii venovať. V učebnici sú rozanalyzované aj ďalšie trestné činy, ako napríklad trestné činy pozbavenia a obmedzovania osobnej slobody. Pri poskytovaní zdravotnej starostlivosti a pri realizácii rôznych medicínskych úkonov sa možno stretnúť aj s trestnými činmi proti iným právam a slobodám, ako napríklad s hanobením mŕtveho ľudského tela, s neoprávneným nakladaním s osobnými údajmi pacienta, s poškodzovaním cudzích práv (pacienta), ako aj s porušením dôvernosti ústneho prejavu a iného prejavu osobnej povahy počas jednotlivých úkonov zdravotnej starostlivosti. Znalecká činnosť má v medicínsko-právnych kauzách nezastupiteľné miesto - aj preto je venovaný priestor trestnej činnosti zo strany súdnych znalcov pri vypracovávaní nepravdivých znaleckých posudkov s ohľadom na falošnú kolegialitu medzi jednotlivými zdravotníckymi pracovníkmi. Učebnica má formou rozšíreného učebného textu, ktorý je zameraný na oblasť trestnej činnosti v zdravotníctve, napomôcť najmä študentom práva zorientovať sa v tejto náročnej problematike. Učebnica si nájde svoje miesto aj medzi poslucháčmi rôznych zdravotníckych odborov, ktorí najmä pri štúdiu medicínskeho práva ocenia podrobnejšie spracovanú problematiku vybraných trestných činov v zdravotníctve, ktoré sú z pohľadu trestnoprávnej zodpovednosti zdravotníckych pracovníkov najfrekventovanejšie.
