The Love Wager
After yet another disastrous date, Hallie Piper decides it's time to grow up.
She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe. But when she logs into an app to find new love, she matches with none other than Jack: the guy the wrong kind of sparks had flown with just weeks earlier.
Agreeing that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realise that they're each other's perfect wing-person - and join forces in their searches for The One. They even place a wager on who can find romance first.
But when they agree to be fake dates for a wedding, all bets are off.
Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with...
Signatúry planét a duševno-duchovný rozvoj v pedagogike
Táto kniha vychádza v dobe, keď vzdelávanie aj pozícia učiteľa prechádzajú hlbokou krízou. Autor knihy jasne vníma problémy súčasnej pedagogiky a kladie si otázku, ako na ne môžeme odpovedať tvorivo a využiť ich ako šancu pre vývoj. Pri svojich analýzach a návrhoch neostáva na povrchu, ale vždy preniká k jadru problému. Vychádza z myšlienky, že ak chceme vedieť, ako dobre vzdelávať či vyučovať ľudí, potrebujeme do hĺbky rozumieť tomu, kto je človek, aké má potreby a možnosti. Človeka chápe ako celostnú bytosť s telom, dušou, ktorá sa prejavuje rôznymi cíteniami a vzťahmi, a tiež duchom, ktorý mu prináša schopnosť myslenia, slobodu, potrebu zmyslu a prianie vývoja a zrenia. Z tejto perspektívy, ktorú označuje ako spirituálnu, vypracúva nové možnosti pre dnešného učiteľa a učenie vôbec.
Kniha sa zaoberá týmito veľmi praktickými a naliehavými oblasťami:
-ako môže byť učiteľ zdravou, racionálnou autoritou a podporiť sebavedomie svojich žiakov,
-ako integrovať žiakov s rôznymi možnosťami a tiež obmedzeniami do celku triedy tak, aby sa navzájom dokázali obohatiť a bola pritom podporená aj ich individualita a pestrosť,
-ako môže vyučovanie podporiť životnú energiu a zdravie žiakov aj učiteľa a predchádzať vyčerpaniu,
-ako vzbudiť záujem a udržať koncentráciu a dosiahnuť celostné, nielen intelektové osvojenie si vyučovanej látky,
-ako podať zložitú tému jednoducho a pochopiteľne aj pre laikov a ďalšími námetmi na praktický výklad učebnej látky.

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki
THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLER, OVER 100,000 COPIES SOLD IN HARDBACK
TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR
PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?
ME: I don't know, I'm – what's the word – depressed? Do I have to go into detail?
Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her – what to call it? – depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.
But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
Recording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.
I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki comes in three different colours; the colour you receive will be chosen at random.
Within Temptation - Bleed Out (Smoke) LP
Within Temptation je holandská symfonická metalová skupina založená v apríli 1996 vokalistkou Sharon den Adel a gitaristom Robertom Westerholtom. Kritici ich klasifikovali ako gothic metal a symfonický metal, hoci každý album obsahuje iné vplyvy mimo týchto žánrov. Ich najvýznamnejší a najznámejší zvuk je opísaný ako symfonický metal, hoci ich skorší materiál, ako napríklad debutový album Enter, bol väčšinou gothic metal, s Enterom tiež náznak doom metalu. Den Adel v rozhovore povedal, že spadali do žánru symfonického rocku s rôznymi vplyvmi. V inom rozhovore, den Adel uviedol, že "Považujeme sa skôr za atmosférickú melodickú symfonickú metalovú/rockovú kapelu... Podľa mňa nie sme gotická kapela, ale máme gotické prvky".
Within Temptation sa chystá zaujať fanúšikov svojim 8. štúdiovým albumom Bleed Out 20. októbra 2023. Táto nahrávka znamená pre kapelu odvážny skok vpred: od „djenty“ riffov až po melódie zobrazujúce naše symfonické metalové korene, s Bleed Out Within Temptation vytvorili zvukovú cestu, ktorá prináša fúziu rôznych hudobných štýlov a podnetných tém. Holandskí metalisti, ktorí odrážajú búrlivý stav sveta, čerpali inšpiráciu z udalostí ako vražda Mahsa Amini v Iráne a vojna na Ukrajine. Sharon: "Vojna na Ukrajine nás veľmi ovplyvnila. Ako umelci sme inšpirovaní svetom a máme túto platformu. Sme rozprávači a myslím si, že ako ľudské bytosti by sme mali o týchto veciach hovoriť."

Satanic Verses
No book in modern times has matched the uproar sparked by Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses", which earned its author a death sentence. Furor aside, it is a marvelously erudite study of good and evil, a feast of language served up by a writer at the height of his powers, and a rollicking comic fable. The book begins with two Indians, Gibreel Farishta ("for fifteen years the biggest star in the history of the Indian movies") and Saladin Chamcha, a Bombay expatriate returning from his first visit to his homeland in 15 years, plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their jetliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations. Rushdie's powers of invention are astonishing in this Whitbread Prize winner."
Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings And Swans
Jemima Jones is overweight. About one hundred pounds overweight. Treated like a maid by her thin and social-climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented but better paid) at the Kilburn Herald, Jemima finds that her only consolation is food. Add to this her passion for her charming, sexy, and unobtainable colleague Ben, and Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. When she meets Brad, an eligible California hunk, over the Internet, she has the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself–as JJ, the slim, beautiful, gym-obsessed glamour girl. But when her long-distance Romeo demands that they meet, she must conquer her food addiction to become the bone-thin model of her e-mails–no small feat. With a fast-paced plot that never quits and a surprise ending no reader will see coming, Jemima J is the chronicle of one woman's quest to become the woman she's always wanted to be, learning along the way a host of lessons about attraction, addiction, the meaning of true love, and, ultimately, who she really is.

Educated
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn't exist. She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn't believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

Starry Messenger
Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time-war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism-in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.
In a time when our political and cultural perspectives feel more divisive than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin engines of enlightenment-a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science.
After thinking deeply about how a scientist views the world and about what Earth looks like from space, Tyson has found that terrestrial thoughts change as our brain resets and recalibrates life's priorities, along with the actions we might take in response. As a result, no outlook on culture, society, or civilisation remains untouched.
In Starry Messenger, Tyson reveals just how human the enterprise of science is. Far from a cold, unfeeling undertaking, scientific methods, tools, and discoveries have shaped modern civilisation and created the landscape we've built for ourselves on which to live, work, and play. Tyson shows how an infusion of science and rational thinking renders worldviews deeper and more informed than ever before-and exposes unfounded perspectives and unjustified emotions.
With crystalline prose and an abundance of evidence, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From lessons on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, ten surprising, brilliant, and beautiful truths of human society, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.
