The Janus Point
What is time? Why is the past so different from the present and the future?
This simple question is in fact one of the deepest, most long-standing problems in physics. None of the known laws of the universe can fully explain it. In The Janus Point, Julian Barbour presents a bold new thesis and a possible solution, with radical implications for our understanding of the Big Bang and the nature of time itself.
His argument rests on two vital insights. The first is that the most common explanation for time - entropy - is flawed: firstly, because we have no way of explaining how the concentration of energy that would allow the Big Bang to take place came about, and secondly because none of our understanding of entropy takes into account the fact that the universe is infinitely expanding. In addition, our universe is actually becoming ever more complex and ordered as it expands, not less so. The second is a phenomenon which Barbour labels 'The Janus Point': any system of particles in motion will pass through a single moment of smallest size, never to be repeated.
Combining these two observations, Barbour argues that the universe, and therefore time itself, may not have begun at the Big Bang, but rather at The Janus Point, thus solving the conundrum of entropy.
Monumental in vision and scope, The Janus Point offers a ground-breaking challenge to our understanding of the universe and a brilliant solution of breath-taking elegance and import to this most fundamental of problems.

Objeví se na ní Nas, Phife Dawg, CL, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Posdenuos of de la Soul, Slick Rick a Nicol Scherzinger. Jedná se o sedmou desku, jejíž vydání předznamenal skladba Big Love, který jako jeden z prvních singlů reflektoval střelbu na amerických středních školách a věnoval se problematice odebírání dětí imigrantským rodinám. Výnosy z prodeje singlu putovaly na účet studentské aktivistické organizace March for Our Lives, která se zabývá ukončením epidemie masových střeleb na školách a organizace Families Belong Together, která bojuje proti Trumpově politice násilné separace rodin. Ve vyzývání statu quo Black Eyed Peas pokračují i na desce, kde se dále věnují aktuálním problémům černošských komunit, jakými je například kontrola zbraní, imigrační a vězeňská reforma a policejní brutalita.
Black Eyed Peas jsou uskupením, které se v průběhu své existence věnovalo hip hopu, popu, dance music i elektro žánru. Kapela se momentálně skládá z will.i.ama, apl.de.apa a Tabooa.

Lacná kniha Babel - Around the World in Twenty Languages (-70%)
If you were to master the twenty languages discussed in Babel, you could talk with three quarters of the world's population. But what makes these languages stand out amid the world's estimated 6,500 tongues?
Gaston Dorren delves deep into the linguistic oddities and extraordinary stories of these diverse lingua francas, tracing their origins and their sometimes bloody rise to greatness. He deciphers their bewildering array of scripts, presents the gems and gaps in their vocabularies and charts their coinages and loans. He even explains how their grammars order their speakers' worldview.
Combining linguistics and cultural history, Babel takes us on an intriguing tour of the world, addressing such questions as how tiny Portugal spawned a major world language and Holland didn't, why Japanese women talk differently from men, what it means for Russian to be 'related' to English, and how non-alphabetic scripts, such as those of India and China, do the same job as our 26 letters. Not to mention the conundrums of why Vietnamese has four forms for 'I', or how Tamil pronouns keep humans and deities apart.
Babel will change the way you look at the world and how we all speak.

Lacná kniha The Harley-Davidson Book. Refueled (-50%)
First thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Harley-Davidson? Freedom, speed, roaring engines and passion on two wheels. And no other motorcycle brand in the world has the nearly mystical reputation of a Harley-Davidson. For more than a hundred years, this American classic from Milwaukee has shaped the motorcycle world.
The fascination centers on the typical 45-degree, V2 engine. Over time, single-cylinder engines have come and gone from the Harley lineup, but the two-cylinder engine has been the defining style. Like a sculpture, it sits deep in the intricate tubular steel frame-an aesthetic revelation...and an auditory one as well. Once you've heard the gruff babbling of an Early Shovel, you're addicted for life! This is a book about the power and beauty of the engines and the elegance and strength of these machines from Lake Michigan. It is an homage to the flatheads, knuckleheads, panheads, ironheads, the shovels and Evolutions, and the modern-day fuel injectors. And at the same time it is a presentation of the water-cooled V2, the Street models, the electrified Live-Wire as well as the new Harley motorcycle genres: the naked bike "Bronx", the large enduro "Pan America" and medium-heavy e-bikes. The Harley-Davidson Book - Refueled is a visual journey through a tradition deeply rooted in the spirit of freedom of the USA. What would Easy Rider be without its iconic heroes, "Billy Bike" and "Captain America," the most famous motorcycles in the world? This free-wheeling attitude is conveyed in opulent, photo-rich stories and articles about the unique Harley-Davidson lifestyle. It's a road movie you can experience yourself, vibrating like an old knucklehead in its rigid frame.
This refueled edition of our bestselling Harley-Davidson book features 32 new pages and several updated chapters, honouring the Harley in all its facets. Ride through the history of the Milwaukee legend, get up close to its pristine design, and explore the Harley-Davidson lifestyle that sees riders on the beach, the ice, or in the mountains. A must-have book for all who agree with the grandson of company founder, Willie G. Davidson: "On the eighth day, God created Harley-Davidson.

The Ship Beneath the Ice
The extraordinary story of how the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship, was found in the most hostile sea on Earth in 2022
On 21 November 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, finally succumbed to the crushing ice. Its crew watched in silence as the stern rose twenty feet in the air and then, it was gone. The miraculous escape and survival of all 28 men on board have entered legend. And yet, the iconic ship that bore them to the brink of the Antarctic was considered forever lost.
A century later, an audacious plan to locate the ship was hatched. The Ship Beneath the Ice gives a blow-by-blow account of the two epic expeditions to find the Endurance. As with Shackleton’s own story, the voyages were filled with intense drama and teamwork under pressure. In March 2022, the Endurance was finally found to headlines all over the world.
Written by Mensun Bound, the Director of Exploration on both expeditions, this captivating narrative includes countless fascinating stories of Shackleton and his legendary ship. Complete with a selection of Frank Hurley’s photos from Shackleton’s original voyage in 1914–17, as well as from the expeditions in 2019 and 2022, The Ship Beneath the Ice is the perfect tribute to this monumental discovery.
