Jazyk v proměnách komunikačních médií
Publikace představuje ucelený a z hlediska obsahu velmi aktuální úvod do studia mediální komunikace a do analýzy textu. S důrazem na mezioborový kontext uvádějí tematické kapitoly do široké problematiky komunikačních médií, s důrazem na praktické používání jazyka a interpretování nejrůznějších strategií, s nimiž se setkáváme ve světě současné komunikace. Lingvistické pojmy jako význam, reprezentace, informace, recepce, řečové akty, styl, tropy a figury, diskurz ad. se zde objevují v popularizujících, ale výkladově hutných a pronikavých sondách do oblastí každodenní řečové praxe i soudobých teoretických a metodologických koncepcí, reprezentovaných významnými proudy a osobnostmi (poststrukturalismus, teorie diskurzu, hermeneutika, kritika ideologií, Jacques Derrida, Antonio Gramsci, Stuart Hall ad.) Kniha je určena nejen studentům mediálních studií, filologických a sociologických oborů, ale i širokému okruhu zájemců o téma.

Lacná kniha Homo a jeho návrat do raja šimpanzov (-90%)
Hlavnými aktérmi filmovej poviedky sú 6 ročný chlapec ( Milan) a dospelý učenlivý šimpanz ( Homo).Milan je synom riaditeľa ZOO a býva s rodičmi v dome, ktorý je situovaný v areáli ZOO. Milan je veľký kamarát s Homom a nažívajú spolu ako súrodenci. Hneď druhý deň ako začal chodiť do prvej triedy, priviedol si do školy aj Homa. Cesta do školy však nebola jednoduchá a počas nej odohralo sa niekoľko dramatických udalostí, ktoré navyše narušili poriadok v meste až tak, že problém riešila polícia a nakoniec súd, ktorý Homa odsúdi k definitívnemu návratu do ZOO s tým, že už nikdy
nemôže ZOO opustiť a s Milanom ísť slobodne do školy. Druhé vydanie diela je rozšírené o príbeh návratu Homa späť do afrických pralesov, odkiaľ pred rokmi sa dostal do ZOO.
Poviedka má filozofický a morálny aspekt a tým je vzťah človeka k
zvieratám,ako aj princíp slobody u človeka i zvierat a ich spätosť s prírodou a jej zákonmi, ktoré človek nie vždy je ochotný rešpektovať.

Boom
Before Damien Hirst stuffed a shark, before Basquiat picked up a spray can, before Andy Warhol started The Factory, a pile of unwanted Jackson Pollocks changed everything. From them emerged the first major modern art dealer. It was 1947, and the art world would never be the same.
From the early days on 57th Street, to the rise of SoHo in the 60s, to the emergence of Chelsea as the hotbed of art galleries, we see the meteoric rise and the devastating falls of the most renowned dealers: Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth. With unparalleled access, the longtime Vanity Fairreporter tells us the story of contemporary art through the people who coddled, supported, and funded the likes of Jeff Koons, and Cy Twombly.
It's a story of backstabbing, betrayals, fruitful partnerships, genius, and ever larger sums of money. The world of contemporary art is inextricable from the wild wealth and naked financial opportunism that surrounds it.

Hitlerovo Rakousko Jedna říše, jeden národ
Kniha, která vrhá nemilosrdné světlo na rakouskou společnost v době vlády nacismu a definitivně boří mýtus o nacistickém Rakousku coby pouhé oběti Hitlerovy expanze. Přestože Rakušané tvořili v době Hitlerovy vlády pouhých 8 procent obyvatel Říše, představovali 14 procent celkového počtu členů SS a 40 procent lidí zapojených do brutálních nacistických operací proti Židům a odpůrcům režimu, od programu eutanazie T4 až po Osvětim. Nebylo to náhodou. Lidový antisemitismus byl v Rakousku natolik rozšířen, že jakmile v roce 1941 začaly deportace Židů, byly ulice Vídně pravidelně lemovány davy souhlasně pokřikujících diváků. V Berlíně k podobným reakcím nedocházelo. Prof. Evan Burr Bukey ve své knize zkoumá postoje v pozadí tohoto nadšeného přijetí a předkládá podrobnou analýzu společenského mínění v Hitlerově rodné zemi po přičlenění Rakouska k Říši v roce 1938. Využívá k tomu dokumentů a materiálů shromážděných v Evropě a Spojených státech, včetně vysoce důvěrných informací gestapa, které dosud nebyly historicky zpracovány.

Dont Be Evil
A TIMES BEST CURRENT AFFAIRS BOOK OF THE YEARThe award-winning Financial Times columnist exposes the threat that Big Tech poses to our democracies, our economies and ourselves'Powerful' Sunday Times Google and Facebook receive 90% of the world's news advertising spend. Amazon takes half of all e-commerce in the US. Google and Apple operating systems run on all but 1% of cell phones globally.
And 80% of corporate wealth is now held by 10% of companies - the digital titans. How did these once-idealistic and innovative companies come to manipulate elections, violate our privacy and pose a threat to the fabric of our democracy? Through her skilled reporting and unparalleled access, Rana Foroohar reveals the true extent to which the 'FAANG's (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google) crush or absorb competitors, hijack our personal data and mental space and offshore their exorbitant profits. What's more, she shows how these threats to our democracies, livelihoods and minds are all intertwined.
Yet Foroohar also lays out a plan for how we can resist, creating a framework that fosters innovation while protecting us from the dark side of digital technology.

Slovenské povesti
Zámocký park, detské hry v jeho čarovných zákutiach a neskôr intenzívne osobné zážitky pri poznávaní našich hradov, kaštieľov, jaskýň, kláštorov a ďalších historických pozoruhodností inšpirovali autorku k voľnému prerozprávaniu slovenských povestí. Do centra príbehov stavia predovšetkým ľudské osudy, vášne, tragédie, ale aj vernú lásku, neuveriteľnú odvahu a spravodlivý trest. Ako sa v povestiach traduje, osudy mocných vládcov, rytierov, mníchov, alchymistov či chudobných poddaných sa prepletajú so zásahom nadprirodzených síl a bytostí. Rovnako duše smrteľníkov, po často nedobrovoľnom odchode z tohto sveta, blúdia miestami, kde sa odvíjal ich život, aby nám ho dodnes pripomínali v podobe prízrakov a strašidiel. Tajuplnú a vzrušujúcu atmosféru minulých čias jedinečne vystihol ilustráciami pripomínajúcimi dobové perokresby akademický maliar Svetozár Košický.

Lacná kniha Bol som Mengeleho asistentom (-70%)
V roku 1944 obsadili nacisti Maďarsko a narýchlo sa pustili do masovej likvidácie židovského obyvateľstva. Väčšinu deportovali do vyhladzovacieho tábora v Osvienčime. Rovnaký osud postihol aj lekára Miklósa Nyiszliho. Za bránami koncentračného tábora sa ocitol ešte v apríli, kde sa hneď po príchode podrobil selekcii. Josef Mengele, dôstojník SS a lekár, vtedy vyzval tých, čo študovali na nemeckých univerzitách a majú znalosti z patológie a forenznej medicíny, aby vystúpili z radu. Z päťdesiatich prítomných lekárov tak učinil len jeden – Miklós Nyiszli. Tak sa začala jeho neuveriteľná cesta po boku sadistického doktora Mengeleho. Nyiszli sa stal členom Sonderkommanda, skupiny väzňov, ktorá pracovala v plynových komorách a v krematóriách a spravidla po štyroch mesiacoch tam sama končila. Nyiszliho poverili vykonávaním pitiev. Je zázrak, že ako očitý svedok Mengeleho zvrátených, sadistických experimentov, najmä na dvojčatách a ľuďoch postihnutých dwarfizmom, prežil. V tom období už nacisti zahladzovali všetky dôkazy. Nyiszli krátko po vojne ako jeden z prvých odhalil svetu všetky zverstvá, ktoré sa v táboroch diali, a to v čase, keď väčšina ľudí ešte zatvárala oči pred pravdou.

Exercised
The myth-busting science behind our modern attitudes to exercise: what our bodies really need, why it matters, and its effects on health and wellbeing.
In industrialized nations, our sedentary lifestyles have contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity and diseases like diabetes. A key remedy, we are told, is exercise - voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. However, most of us struggle to stay fit, and our attitudes to exercise are plagued by misconceptions, finger-pointing and anxiety.
But, as Daniel Lieberman shows in Exercised, the first book of its kind by a leading scientific expert, we never evolved to exercise. We are hardwired for moderate exertion throughout each day, not triathlons or treadmills. Drawing on over a decade of high-level scientific research and eye-opening insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, Lieberman explains precisely how exercise can promote health; debunks persistent myths about sitting, speed, strength and endurance; and points the way towards more enjoyable and physically active living in the modern world.
'Myth-busting, illuminating, brilliant - Lieberman will completely change the way you think about your body' Professor ALICE ROBERTS, presenter of Our Incredible Human Journey
Beyond Willpower
Did you know that most self-help programs that follow the standard success blueprint have a 97% failure rate? The truth is that the typical personal improvement mantra of tapping into your willpower and activating the power of positive thinking is actually a recipe for failure. In Beyond Willpower, bestselling author and psychological counselor Alexander Loyd, PhD, ND, reveals a unique, highly effective program to help you finally achieve the life you want and the success you deserve. Science has proven that stress, or internal fear, is the primary source of virtually any problem we encounter– physical, spiritual, emotional, and even circumstantial. New research has shown that fear is literally programmed into us at the cellular level, which is why most of us are unable to turn off our stress response by willpower alone. For the first time, this book teaches you how to change your cellular programming from fear to love, triggering a natural chemical chain reaction that fuels you for your best success. Rooted in science, ancient wisdom, and proven therapeutic techniques to remove personal obstacles that sabotage us, Beyond Willpower offers a revolutionary 40-day holistic program based on more than 25 years of clinical experience. With this program you will identify and clarify what fundamentally defines success for you. Then you’ll receive the three simple tools you need to internally shift from fear to love physically (using the Energy Medicine tool), mentally (using the Reprogramming Statements tool), and spiritually (using the Heart Screen tool). You'll also have free access to the unprecedented "Success Issues Finder" test, which accurately diagnoses your unconscious and subconscious issues related to success and failure, happiness and unhappiness. No matter how you define success – as wealth, career satisfaction, healing of health issues, or resolution of relationship problems –Beyond Willpower will help you achieve it once and for all, quickly and for the long term.

Victor Horta
Victor Horta (1861–1947) is well known as the creator of Art Nouveau architecture. Following the design of the Hôtel Tassel, Brussels, in 1893, Horta produced more than 40 buildings during the following decade. This new book discusses the many influences on his designs, and his legacy. Detailed descriptions of 19 projects, including Edicule Lambeaux, Hôtel Autrique, Hôtel Max Hallet and the Brugmann Hospital, are illustrated with Horta’s original drawings and specially commissioned photographs by award-winning architectural photographer Alastair Carew-Cox. Included in this book are extensive photographs of Hôtel Solvay, one of Horta’s most important works; access to photographers had been denied for 20 years, but special access was granted to Alastair Carew-Cox in the summer of 2016 in recognition of his and Professor David Dernie’s significant contribution to the study of Horta.
Victor Horta: The Architect of Art Nouveau has been prepared in close collaboration with the Horta Museum, Brussels, ensuring that it is both accurate and up to date. It will appeal to anyone interested in Art Nouveau, one of the great aesthetic movements of the early 20th century. Its richly ornamental style of fluid lines based on natural forms expressed a desire to abandon the historical styles of the 19th century and to develop a language that was beautifully crafted and thoroughly contemporary, laying the foundations for the development of modernism in architecture and interior design.

Kings of the Yukon - An Alaskan River Journey
**Winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award 2018 and the Lonely Planet Adventure Travel Book of the Year 2019**
'Weymouth combines acute political, personal and ecological understanding, with the most beautiful writing reminiscent of a young Robert Macfarlane. He is, I have no doubt, a significant voice for the future' Andrew Holgate, Sunday Times literary editor
'Adam Weymouth takes his place beside the great travel writers' Susan Hill
A captivating, lyrical account of an epic voyage by canoe down the Yukon River.
The Yukon River is almost 2,000 miles long, flowing through Canada and Alaska to the Bering Sea. Setting out to explore one of the most ruggedly beautiful and remote regions of North America, Adam Weymouth journeyed by canoe on a four-month odyssey through this untrammelled wilderness, encountering the people who have lived there for generations. The Yukon's inhabitants have long depended on the king salmon who each year migrate the entire river to reach their spawning grounds. Now the salmon numbers have dwindled, and the encroachment of the modern world has changed the way of life on the Yukon, perhaps for ever.
Weymouth's searing portraits of these people and landscapes offer an elegiac glimpse of a disappearing world. Kings of the Yukon is an extraordinary adventure, told by a powerful new voice.

Toto je moje srdce
Nové srdce jej zachránilo život – ale pomôže jej zistiť, čo sa skutočne stalo jeho darcovi?Sedemnásťročná Leah McKenzieová nemá srdce. Nažive ju drží umelé, ktoré si so sebou nosí v batohu. Ani to jej však nemôže dať viac ako pár rokov života. S jej vzácnou krvnou skupinou je transplantácia veľmi nepravdepodobná. Musí teda stále žiť tak, akoby umierala, a to veru nie je ľahké. Keď sa však predsa len naskytne vhodné srdce, Leah dostane druhú šancu na život. Potom však zistí, že darcom bol chlapec z jej školy, o ktorom všetci tvrdia, že spáchal samovraždu. Keď sa k tomu pripoja aj záhadné sny, ktoré sa jej od transplantácie ustavične vracajú, uvedomí si, že v nich možno nájde kľúč k tomu, čo sa naozaj stalo.Matt odmieta veriť, že sa jeho dvojča zabilo. Leah ho vyhľadá a zistí, že majú obaja podobné sny. Je presvedčený, že to musí niečo znamenať. Kým Leah s Mattom odhaľujú tajomstvá, ktorými je opradená bratova záhadná smrť, zvláštne puto medzi nimi prerastie v lásku, o ktorú nechcú prísť. Budúcnosť je však nevyspytateľná a ani nové srdce Leah nič nezaručuje. Kto by to povedal, že žitie si vyžaduje viac odvahy ako umieranie?Román C. C. Hunterovej Toto je moje srdce je napínavý a dojemný príbeh o živote a umieraní, o vyrovnávaní sa so žiaľom, s vinou a so zlomeným srdcom, o objavovaní lásky a nádeje uprostred smútku.Z anglického originálu This Heart of Mine (Wednesday Books, New York 2018) preložila Barbora Andrezálová.
