S.N.U.F.F.
Jeden z najlepších súčasných ruských autorov Viktor Pelevin (Vydavateľstvo Spolku slovenských spisovateľov vydalo aj jeho výber poviedok pod názvom Relics, 2006) skĺbil v románe S.N.U.F.F. jedinečnú spoločenskú satiru a trefnú fikciu súčasného rozloženia geopolitických síl. Reaguje na vnútorný nepokoj uvažujúceho človeka dnešnej doby a majstrovsky inteligentne a otvorene zostavuje mozaiku spoločenských manipulácií, ich následkov a deformácií v celom spektre prejavov. Preto tento fiktívny tragicko-karikaturistický obraz spoločnosti budúceho tisícročia považuje kritika za najsmelšie z autorových diel. Mechanizmy mediálneho zotročenia, ktoré prerástli až v náboženský obrad, a ten v stereotyp, kedy aj pornografia a smrť začínajú diváka nudiť, možno vnímať ako expresívne varovanie ľudstvu uviaznutému v slepej uličke, kde "už nepotrebujeme hrozno", ale "posielame po fľaše do pivnice". Dejom sa prepletá pútavá línia lásky, sú doň vsadené poetické pasáže a zručne sformulované odkazy. Tento inteligentný knižný titul výrazne obohatí slovenský knižný trh o špičkové literárne dielo, ktoré precvičí intelekt čitateľa. Preto sa knihu oplatí čítať vnímavo a dolúšťovať fragmenty mozaiky ako pri poézii.

Proč jsou diamanty dražší než voda? Jak vysoká či nízká musí být cena, aby byla nespravedlivá? Je trh nemorální? Na kterém typu informací lze vydělávat čestně?

Star Wars Visions: Ronin
A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale. An original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology.
The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire.
Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith.
The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire . . . but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.
Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side.
As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.
Láttál már tehenet cigizni?
A mű hiánypótló, ugyanis, nem a dohányzásról való leszokásról szól, amiből van épp elég, mégis többnyire haszontalan… hanem a megelőzés a célja. A fajsúlyos tartalom okán tudatosan szűkre szabott könyvecskében, a célközösség életkorát és türelmét is figyelembe véve, csupán 20 A5-ös oldalba sűrítettem a mondanivalómat. Ugyanis, mint tudjuk van úgy, hogy a több a kevesebb, és fordítva. A legelső elszívott néhány szál cigaretta veszélyeiről mesél, a függőség kialakulásáról, amit akkor érdemes szóba hozni, amikor valaki az első cigarettát a kezébe sem vette még, méghozzá gyerekként! Ezért elsősorban 11-12 éveseknek lett szánva, ami az általános 5. 6. osztálya máris. Hiszen nem sokra rá, az első elszívott cigaretták füstje az intézmény vécéjéből márpedig felszáll, meg imitt amott, ami nem újdonság, és kényszeredetten tudomásul vesszük, de felelősen gondolkodva, nem a karunkat tehetetlenül széttárva… inkább cselekedni kellene végre már. Mert a 15-16 évesek körében akkorra kialakult függőségről is beszélhetünk, bármilyen hihetetlen! A gyerek a szülővel, nevelővel lehetőleg együtt olvasva haladjon, a rövidke fejezeteket átbeszélve azután, minden esetlegesen ismeretlen szót, kifejezést a helyére téve. A könyv ára pedig, a mindenkor egyetlen doboz cigaretta ára legyen, ami szimbolikus is… és aminél jobb befektetés nem létezik ár–egészség arányában egy életen át, semmiképp. Molnár János

Kamene
Ako tretí titul edície Prírodné Krásy Slovenska vo vydavateľstve DAJAMA vyšli Kamene. Titul prišiel na trh ako jubilejné 150. knižné dielo z produkcie vydavateľstva. Výber témy nie je náhodný a čiastočne dopĺňa predchádzajúce publikácie, pretože vrchy, to sú aj kamene a v nich zhmotnená kamenná krása. Práve tá im dáva charakteristický vzhľad a neopakovateľné čaro. Slovensko je totiž v prevažnej miere členitou horskou krajinou, ktorej pestrosť podmieňujú aj geologické odlišnosti. Či už ide o pásmo flyšových pohorí na severe, úzke bradlové pásmo tiahnuce sa bezmála od českých po ukrajinské hranice s reťazou ostrých vápencových vrchov – bradiel, alebo o dolomitové a vápencové pohoria, na ktoré sa viažu také skalnaté krajinné dominanty. Juh a východ Slovenska tvoria zase sopečné pohoria, v ktorých vulkanická činnosť v mladších treťohorách vytvorila nádherné a neopakovateľné kamenné útvary. Slovensko je teda „kamennou“ krajinou a kamenné miesta takmer na každom kroku sprevádzajú život jeho obyvateľov a návštevníkov.

The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism
From the author of The Shifts and the Shocks, and one of the most influential writers on economics, a reckoning with how and why the relationship between democracy and capitalism is coming undone
We are living in an age when economic failings have shaken faith in global capitalism. Political failings have undermined trust in liberal democracy and in the very notion of truth. The ties that ought to bind open markets to free and fair elections are being strained and rejected, even in democracy's notional heartlands. Around the world, democratic capitalism, which depends on the determined separation of power from wealth, is in crisis. Some now argue that capitalism is better without democracy; others that democracy is better without capitalism.
This book is a forceful rejoinder to both views. It analyses how the marriage between capitalism and democracy has become so fraught and yet insists that a divorce would be an almost unimaginable calamity. Martin Wolf, one of the wisest public voices on global affairs, argues that for all its recent failings - slowing growth, increasing inequality, widespread popular disillusion - democratic capitalism, though inherently fragile, remains the best system we know for human flourishing. Capitalism and democracy are complementary opposites: they need each other if either is to thrive. Wolf's superb exploration of their marriage shows us how citizenship and a shared faith in the common good are not romantic slogans but the essential foundation of our economic and political freedom.
The Art of Being
How can we realise and actualise love, reason and meaningful, productive work?
If the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from having - to psychological and spiritual happiness - being. The Art of Being remains one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon.
Fromm here offers a path to true wellbeing and a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be lived without pain. The tantalising 'spiritual smorgasbord' offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of 'easy awareness'. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation rather than material gain.
This volume is a sequel to one of Erich Fromm's most popular works, To Have or to Be. In this book, Fromm examines the true paths - as opposed to false directions - that will lead us to self-knowledge and enlightenment. This edition, commemorating thirty years since the first English publication of The Art of Being, features an updated introduction from editor Rainer Funk.
Neurorehabilitace, 2., přepracované a rozšířené vydání
Většina neurologických onemocnění zanechává dlouhodobé nebo trvalé následky různého rozsahu. Stále stoupá zvláště počet pacientů s těžkým, dříve smrtelným poškozením mozku, kteří přežijí, ale se závažným funkčním postižením. Z etických a zdravotně politických důvodů je základním požadavkem, aby pacienti dosáhli po ukončení akutní lékařské péče co nejlepší kvality života a soběstačnosti a aby znovu našli své místo ve společnosti.
Kvalita života pacientů závisí zejména na rychlém zahájení neurorehabilitace, která se provádí kontinuálně: od fáze akutní hospitalizace přes lůžkovou a ambulantní rehabilitaci až k sociálnímu, rodinnému a pracovnímu zařazení.
Neurologických deficitů, vzniklých následkem mozkového poškození, je velké množství a různá je i jejich závažnost – proto vyžadují vysoce individuální a komplexní odborný přístup. Včasná neurorehabilitace by měla začínat již na neurologickém nebo neurochirurgickém oddělení intenzivní péče (ARO, JIP) a je integrovanou součástí terapie.
Nové, zcela přepracované a výrazně rozšířené vydání monografie Neurorehabilitace podává přehled současných terapeutických možností v rehabilitaci těchto pacientů. Významný pokrok v oblasti neurověd umožnil rozšířit a doplnit léčbu na základě poznatků o neuronální plasticitě a reorganizaci, proto hlavní autorka přizvala ke spolupráci další odborníky, kteří text obohatili o nová hlediska a specializované interdisciplinární postupy.

Foul Lady Fortune
Assassin. Immortal. Spy.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights comes the first book in a captivating new duology following an ill-matched pair of spies posing as a married couple to investigate a series of brutal murders in 1930s Shanghai.
It's 1931 in Shanghai, and the stage is set for a new decade of intrigue. Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was brought back from the brink of death, but the strange experiment that saved her also stopped her from sleeping and aging - and allows her to heal from any wound.
In short, Rosalind cannot die. Now, desperate for redemption for her traitorous past, she uses her abilities as an assassin for her country. Code name: Fortune.
But when the Japanese Imperial Army begins its invasion march, Rosalind's mission pivots. A series of murders is causing unrest in Shanghai, and the Japanese are under suspicion. Rosalind's new orders are to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits behind the terror plot before more of her people are killed.
To reduce suspicion, she must pose as the wife of another Nationalist spy, Orion Hong. Although Rosalind finds Orion's cavalier attitude and playboy demeanour infuriating, she is willing to work with him for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and Rosalind has secrets that she wants to keep buried.
As they both attempt to unravel the conspiracy, the two spies soon find that there are deeper and more horrifying layers to this mystery than they ever imagined.
Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
'Warsan Shire is an extraordinarily gifted poet whose profoundly moving poems so powerfully give voice to the unspoken' Bernardine Evaristo
Poems of migration, womanhood, trauma and resilience from the award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire, celebrated collaborator on Beyonce's Lemonade and Black Is King.
With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a girl who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls. These are noisy lives, full of music and weeping and surahs. These are fragrant lives, full of blood and perfume and jasmine. These are polychrome lives, full of moonlight and turmeric and kohl.
The long-awaited collection from one of our most exciting contemporary poets is a blessing, an incantatory celebration of survival. Each reader will come away changed.
'Warsan Shire electrifies... The beautifully crafted poems in this collection are fiercely tender gifts' Roxane Gay
Sturzkampfflugzeug - Cesta ke střemhlavému bombardéru

Pandora's Box
From The Sopranos to streaming: the scandalous behind-the-screens story of the TV revolution by the author of the cult film classic Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.
The revolution has been televized. From The Sopranos to Stranger Things, the shows we watch - and the ways we watch them - have been transformed over the past fifty years. Out of the bland wasteland of 'play-it-safe' broadcasting came astonishing stories of sex, violence, and corruption shown first on cable, and then by way of streaming. Today, the power of viewers to select what they want and when they want it is greater than ever before. In short, we are living in a new golden age of television, but golden ages don't last forever. Revolutions have a habit of eating their own, and the era of 'peak TV' may have an unhappy ending.
Pandora's Box is a major new account of the small screen from cultural critic Peter Biskind. Through exclusive, candid and colourful interviews with writers, showrunners, directors and actors, Biskind brings us face to face with the people whose creations we encounter every day on our sofas, and reveals the dynamic interplay of art, commerce and technology. We follow executives down the corridors of power and see how their money and guile cultivate, then crush creativity; we witness the making - and unmaking - of TVs biggest hits. There has never been a more exciting time in entertainment history, and Peter Biskind, the ideal insider guide, captures it all.

POSEL MÍRU, NEBO ZPLOZENEC PEKLA? Píše se rok 802 Frankové a Saracéni nelítostně bojují o politickou a náboženskou nadvládu.

Román vypráví příběh o pravděpodobně největším hrdinovi středověku. Slon Abúl Abbás byl dar chalífy Hárúna ar-Rašída císaři Karlu Velikému. Jeho cesta z Bagdádu do Cách je historicky písemně doložena.

The Biology of Belief
Exploring the revolutionary science behind the power of thought, this book will forever change how you think about your own thinking.
This new updated and expanded 10th anniversary edition of The Biology of Belief contains stunning new scientific discoveries about the biochemical effects of the brain's functioning that show all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. Bruce H. Lipton PhD, a renowned cell biologist, describes the precise molecular pathways through which this occurs. Using simple language, illustrations, humour and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.
It has been 10 years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton's seminal book on the relationship between mind and body that changed the way we think about our lives, our health and our planet. During that time, research in this field has grown exponentially - Lipton's ground-breaking experiments have now been endorsed by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study.
In this greatly expanded edition, Lipton explores his own experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists that have unravelled in ever greater detail how truly connected the mind, body and spirit are. It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts.
This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, we transform our lives, and in the process help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.
