Lacná kniha Primer of Happiness 1 - The Return to Ourselves
"Your soul yearns to be loved. By you."
In a simple form suitable for first-graders, this book explains the principles of self-acceptance, forgiveness, positive thinking, "letting go"
of your parents, understanding illness, dissolving pain, "problem" solving, stopping fights, listening to your heart, becoming sensitive to the symbols of life and liberating yourself from other people's pain. Among the topics discussed will be the laws of mirroring, attraction and resonance, the importance of not pretending, the harmful effects of promise-making, accepting the death of others as well as your own, the energy of creating, rebellion, meditation, but also the importance of saying thank you, praising, not ridiculing others or judging them and, last but not least, respect for the beloved Mother Earth.
In a natural and positive way, the author leads you to rediscover the child within yourself. He will try to change you into natural fools again and whisper in your ear a manual on becoming beings that will take hold of their lives, assume responsibility for their actions and leave the current Matrix.
Indeed, Baricak doesn't believe in bringing about change through politicians and other funny characters. His message is different and simple: change yourself and you will change the world. Give children love and they will change the future.
O autorovi:
We only see what we are ready to see, and I'm nothing else but a mere medium allowing the flow of that which is within each one of us. Were it not for nature, love, writing and other forms of creativity, my soul would be a mess. In fact, I'm not a writer, nor a musician, traveller, photographer, philosopher, businessman, poet, blogger, or a lyricist... I'm a mere human soul, and therefore miraculous. Just like you. I make my mistakes, I have my lows, I laugh, I hurry and slow down later, only to caress and appreciate life again, to wash in my tears that wonderful gift, which often seems to be the hardest stone of suffering. I have my dreams, I pray for things, I accept and feel grateful. Here and now. There's no other way more beautiful...

The Road Not Taken and Other Poems (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Frost's early poems, selected by poet David Orr for the centennial of "The Road Not Taken" A Penguin Classics Deluxe edition
For one hundred years, Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" has enchanted and challenged readers with its deceptively simple premise--a person reaches a fork in the road, facing a choice full of doubt and possibility. The Road Not Taken and Other Poems presents Frost's best-loved poem along with other works from his brilliant early years, including such poems as "After Apple-Picking," "The Oven Bird," and "Mending Wall." Award-winning poet and critic David Orr's introduction discusses why Frost remains so central (if often misunderstood) in American culture and how the beautiful intricacy of his poetry keeps inviting generation after generation to search for meaning in his work.
For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
The COFFEE BOOK
Revised and updated, a compact guide to the beverage that keeps us running.A freshly updated edition of the best introduction to one of the world's most popular products, The Coffee Book is jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary covering coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the sixth century to the rise of Starbucks and the emergence of Fair Trade coffee in the twenty-first. The book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup, surveys the social history of café society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village, and tells the dramatic tale of high-stakes international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. It also examines the industry's major players, revealing how they have systematically reduced the quality of the bean and turned a much-loved product into a commodity and lifestyle accoutrement, ruining the lives of millions of farmers around the world in the process.Finally, The Coffee Book, hailed as a Best Business Book by Library Journal when it was first published, considers the exploitation of labor and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing "conscious coffee" market and Fair Trade movement.

Lacná kniha OWC Turn of the Screw and Other Stories (-90%)
A young, inexperienced governess is charged with the care of Miles and Flora, two small children abandoned by their uncle at his grand country house. She sees the figure of an unknown man on the tower and his face at the window. It is Peter Quint, the master's dissolute valet, and he has come for little Miles. But Peter Quint is dead. Like the other tales collected here - "Sir Edmund Orme", "Owen Wingrave", and "The Friends of the Friends" - "The Turn of the Screw" is to all immediate appearances a ghost story. But are the appearances what they seem? Is what appears to the governess a ghost or a hallucination? Who else sees what she sees? The reader may wonder whether the children are victims of corruption from beyond the grave, or victims of the governess's "infernal imagination", which torments but also enthrals her? Is "The Turn of the Screw" a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease? Or is it simply, "the most hopelessly evil story that we have ever read"? The texts are those of the New York Edition, with a new Introduction and Notes.

On Tyranny - Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'These 128 pages are a brief primer in every important thing we might have learned from the history of the last century, and all that we appear to have forgotten' Observer History does not repeat, but it does instruct. In the twentieth century, European democracies collapsed into fascism, Nazism and communism. These were movements in which a leader or a party claimed to give voice to the people, promised to protect them from global existential threats, and rejected reason in favour of myth. European history shows us that societies can break, democracies can fall, ethics can collapse, and ordinary people can find themselves in unimaginable circumstances. History can familiarise, and it can warn. Today, we are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to totalitarianism in the twentieth century. But when the political order seems imperilled, our advantage is that we can learn from their experience to resist the advance of tyranny. Now is a good time to do so.
Azok a szomorú fiatalok - All the Sad Young Men
Some of the caddies were poor as sin and lived in one-room houses with a neurasthenic cow in the front yard, but Dexter Green's father owned the second best grocery-store in Black Bear the best one was "The Hub," patronized by the wealthy people from Sherry Island and Dexter caddied only for pocket-money. A legtöbb caddy, aki az ütőket cipelte és a labdát szedte a játékosok után a golfpályán, olyan szegény volt, mint a templom egere: csak egyszobás lakásban élt, és legfeljebb volt még egy beteges tehénke is az udvaron. Dexter Green azonban nem volt szegény. Az ő apjának volt a második legjobb élelmiszerboltja Black Bear Village-ben (az első legjobb a Központi volt, ahol a Sherry Island-i gazdagok szoktak bevásárolni), és Dexter csak azért lett caddy és labdaszedő, hogy legyen egy kis zsebpénze is.

Moore Gary - After The War (Digitally Remastered Limited Edition) CD
Robert William Gary Moore (4. apríla 1952 – 6. februára 2011) bol írsky hudobník. Počas svojej kariéry hral v rôznych skupinách a predvádzal celý rad hudby vrátane blues, blues rocku, hard rocku, heavy metalu a jazz fusion. Moore, ovplyvnený Petrom Greenom a Ericom Claptonom, začal svoju kariéru koncom 60. rokov, keď sa pridal k skupine Skid Row, s ktorou vydal dva albumy. Keď Moore opustil skupinu, pripojil sa k Thin Lizzy, kde vystupoval jeho bývalý kolega z kapely Skid Row a častý spolupracovník Phil Lynott. Moore začal svoju sólovú kariéru v 70. rokoch a veľký úspech dosiahol s "Parisienne Walkways" z roku 1979, ktorá je považovaná za jeho charakteristickú pieseň. Počas osemdesiatych rokov Moore prešiel na hranie hard rocku a heavy metalu s rôznym stupňom medzinárodného úspechu. V roku 1990 sa vrátil ku koreňom albumom Still Got the Blues, ktorý sa stal najúspešnejším albumom jeho kariéry. Moore pokračoval vo vydávaní novej hudby počas svojej neskoršej kariéry a z času na čas spolupracoval s inými umelcami. Moore zomrel 6. februára 2011 na infarkt počas dovolenky v Španielsku.

The Forever of Ella and Micha
Ella és Micha új története reményről, szívfájdalomról és az igaz szerelem erejéről...
Ella folytatja tanulmányait; igyekszik a jövőjére összpontosítani, és elfelejteni múltja sötétségét. A családjában dúló dráma miatt azonban egyre nehezebben birkózik meg a mindennapokkal. Igazából nem akar mást, csak Michát, viszont esze ágában sincs hagyni, hogy problémái a fiú álmainak útjába álljanak.
Micha az országot járja együttesével, úgy tűnik, megkapott mindent, amire valaha vágyott. Szíve mélyén azonban tudja, hogy valami hiányzik. Sokkal nehezebben bírja Ella nélkül, mint hitte. És hiába szeretné, ha vele tartana a lány, eszébe sem jutna azt kérni tőle, hogy emiatt hagyja ott az egyetemet.
Amikor ők ketten együtt vannak, minden lehetségesnek tűnik... de mostanában alig jut idejük egymásra. Miután egy új tragédia alapjaiban rengeti meg már így is törékeny világukat, egyikük súlyos döntést hoz, ami talán örökre szétválasztja őket...
Other Minds
Named a Top Ten Science Book of Fall 2016 by Publishers Weekly
Although mammals and birds are widely regarded as the smartest creatures on earth, it has lately become clear that a very distant branch of the tree of life has also sprouted higher intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus. In captivity, octopuses have been known to identify individual human keepers, raid neighboring tanks for food, turn off lightbulbs by spouting jets of water, plug drains, and make daring escapes. How is it that a creature with such gifts evolved through an evolutionary lineage so radically distant from our own? What does it mean that evolution built minds not once but at least twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. What can we learn from the encounter?
In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how subjective experience crept into being?how nature became aware of itself. As Godfrey-Smith stresses, it is a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind’s fitful development, Godfrey-Smith shows how unruly clumps of seaborne cells began living together and became capable of sensing, acting, and signaling. As these primitive organisms became more entangled with others, they grew more complicated. The first nervous systems evolved, probably in ancient relatives of jellyfish; later on, the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous mollusks, abandoned their shells and rose above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so. Taking an independent route, mammals and birds later began their own evolutionary journeys.
But what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? Drawing on the latest scientific research and his own scuba-diving adventures, Godfrey-Smith probes the many mysteries that surround the lineage. How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually “think for themselves”? What happens when some octopuses abandon their hermit-like ways and congregate, as they do in a unique location off the coast of Australia?
By tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind?and on our own.
The Cheerleaders
There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook.
First there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on a rainy night.
Then the murders happened - two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know why he did it.
Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost.
That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy.
Her world is starting to unravel. After she discovers the letters in her stepdad's desk, unearths an ancient phone, and meets a strange new friend at school, Monica can't just move on.
Whatever happened five years ago isn't over. People know more than they're letting on and somehow, Monica is at the center of it all.
There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean anyone else is safe.

On the Waves of TSF
The famous modernist manifesto Revolutionary Anthology Devětsil, published in the winter 1922, lists two editors, Jaroslav Seifert (19011986) and Karel Teige (19001951). Similarly, we should preface the 1925 collection Na vlnách TSF (On the Waves o
f TSF) with the names of these two authors, leading representatives of the Czech avantgarde between the two World Wars and founding members of the artists group Devětsil. Karel Teige laid out the verses of his friend Jaroslav Seifert as striking typ
ographical poems. Purportedly, he depleted nearly all the font cases he could find at Obzinas printing shop. In any case, he faithfully fulfilled the precepts of poetism about the world and poetryto be multisensory. Imbued with all the beauties
of the world, Seiferts verses are introduced with a mischievously reversed paraphrase of Karel Hynek Máchas (18101836) famous words: Light grief on the face / Deep laughter in the heart. With the effortlessness mimicking wireless transmission, Sei
fert and Teige transport us to Paris (Seifert visited the City of Light with Teige in 1924), to places where pineapples grow, to Australia, Marseille, New York, to distant ocean shores, and back to the banks of the Vltava river in Pragueall this fac
ilitated, as it were, by Télégraphie sans fil (literally from French: wireless telegraphy). To be sure, the greatest concern of the lyrically gloomy narrator is joyfully unambiguous honeymoon destinations; if die we must, let us die of love... In sub
sequent editions (1938), Seiferts youthful manifesto was titled Svatební cesta (Honeymoon). Understandably so, because the changed circumstances of Czech poetry hardly allowed for stepping into the same river twice; the former associates parted ways
in their creative endeavors. Teige became a multifaceted art theoretician and embraced surrealism. After breaking with the communist party in 1929, Seifert became a lifelong social democrat and devoted himself primarily to newspaper journalism. The
first edition of Na vlnách TSF gradually became rare until only reprints allowed us to explore the sources of this visual, almost hedonistic poetry. As a reprint, the collection is appearing for the fifth time, this time in its most faithful facsimil
e incarnation and in two independent permutationsin the original Czech version and as an English-Czech remake by Zdeněk Trinkewitz, translated by Dana Loewy. The Czech-born translator lives in the United States where early in her career, she won a s
tudent translation prize by the American Translators Association (1992). Subsequently, she received an honorary mention by the foremost Czech translators association and her translations of Jaroslav Seiferts early work were published in 1997 by Hydr
a Books, a division of Northwestern University Press.
