The Man with the Compound Eyes
Every second son must be sacrificed at the age of fifteen. But will one boy defy all odds and triumph...
On the island of Wayo Wayo, every second son must leave on the day he turns fifteen as a sacrifice to the Sea God. Atile'i is one such boy, but as the strongest swimmer and best sailor, he is determined to defy destiny and become the first to survive.
Alice Shih, who has lost her husband and son in a climbing accident, is quietly preparing to commit suicide in her house by the sea. But her plan is interrupted when a vast trash vortex comes crashing onto the shore of Taiwan, bringing Atile'i with it.
In the aftermath of the catastrophe, Atile'i and Alice retrace her late husband's footsteps into the mountains, hoping to solve the mystery of her son's disappearance. On their journey, memories will be challenged, an unusual bond formed, and a dark secret uncovered that will force Alice to question everything she thought she knew.

Minecraft: The Dragon
Take flight with the ender dragon in this official Minecraft novel! When a desert town is threatened by illager raids, a young adventurer turns to a newborn dragon to save her home.
Zetta is the best potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. Okay, maybe she's the only potion-maker in the village of Sienna Dunes. And maybe her potions don't exactly work like they're supposed to all the time. But when her village is menaced by a pack of illagers, only Zetta can see that the traditional ways won't keep Sienna Dunes safe anymore.
Zetta journeys to her eccentric aunt's workshop outside town to search for an answer and finds a lot more than she bargained for. A mysterious egg hatches into a scaly creature with purple eyes, black wings, and poisonous breath. It can't possibly be the mythical ender dragon . . . can it? And if it is, can Zetta raise it to be the savior her village needs?
The threat of the illagers is growing fast, and Zetta's accidental dragon is growing even faster. With the help of her two best friends and her daydreaming little cousin, Zetta must train the scariest (and scaliest) baby in the Overworld. But when the dragon is fully grown, will it save Sienna Dunes? Or will it spell the village's end?
Lacná kniha Útěk do pekel - 2.vydání
Pavel Vencl sice vystudoval filozofii, ale samotné studium mu mnoho neříkalo. Tou nejužitečnější školou mu byl vždy život. Proplouvá jím jako profesionální karbaník, boxuje s přáteli v klubu na Žižkově a jeho náručí prošla řada dívek. 15. březen 1939, první den okupace, ho zastihne u milenky Katy. Byl by rád, kdyby se mu následující události v okupovaném Československu vyhnuly, ale brzy zjistí, že to není možné. Svoji situaci se rozhodne vyřešit útěkem. Opustí svoji matku, kamarády i milenky a přes Alpy se dostává nejdříve do neutrálního Švýcarska, poté do Francie, Anglie a jeho cesta pokračuje i za oceánem, kde také potká svoji životní lásku Inéz. Kvůli své konfliktní povaze se mnohdy dostává do značně dramatických situací, na vlastní kůži poznává různé způsoby brutality, ať už od mocenských složek států, nebo přímo od spoluvězňů. Je cynický, arogantní, pohrdá lidmi a neváhá zabít, přesto díky své inteligenci, nadhledu, břitkému smyslu pro humor a notné dávce štěstí dokáže přežít v každé situaci…
Útěk do pekel je v české literatuře naprosto ojedinělou knihou, srovnatelnou jen s nejlepšími evropskými a světovými romány. Knihou nabitou dějem, vzrušením a kaskádou nepředvídatelných událostí, které čtenáře vtáhnou do děje a nenechají ho vydechnout do posledního řádku.

New Surrealism
New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting by Robert Zeller offers a sweeping exposition of both historical Surrealism and its legacy in the world of contemporary art. It demonstrates the many ways in which the most significant art movement of the last century continues to be relevant today, featuring an international selection of contemporary artists whose compositions and studio practice reveal its influence. There are many modalities of historical Surrealism that still maintain contemporary currency: presenting the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny, the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated imagery, the use of absurdity to critique political or social issues, and the use of erotic imagery in an irrational, non-linear context.
Not all the artists brought together in this book self-identify as Surrealist, per se, but each uses some variation of Surrealism in a personal manner. The book begins with a study of the origins, leadership, participating artists, and major milestones of historical Surrealism. Zeller chronicles the movement starting at the end of World War I and the birth of Dada.
The most important players and events emerge throughout the timeline of events-including World War II, and such notable artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington, and many others-up until the death of its leader Andre Breton in 1966. Zeller then explores how elements of New Surrealism are being put into practice in the contemporary art world. Section Two offers a survey of 29 contemporary artists who engage in New Surrealism's seemingly unlimited variations of the movement's original themes, including Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown, and Arghavan Khosravi.
Section Three features 14 artists, including important contemporary artists such as Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey and Anna Weyant, who speak to Surrealism's influence on their studio practice, detailing in their own words how they create a composition from start to finish.
A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth
For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place - covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. It has weathered fire and ice. Slimes begat sponges, who through billions of years of complex evolution and adaptation grew a backbone, braved the unknown of pitiless shores, and sought an existence beyond the sea.
From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens, life has persisted, undaunted. A (Very) Short History of Life is an enlightening story of survival, of persistence, illuminating the delicate balance within which life has always existed, and continues to exist today. It is our planet like you've never seen it before.
Life teems through Henry Gee's words - colossal supercontinents drift, collide, and coalesce, fashioning the face of the planet as we know it today. Creatures are engagingly personified, from 'gregarious' bacteria populating the seas to duelling dinosaurs in the Triassic period to magnificent mammals with the future in their (newly evolved) grasp. Those long extinct, almost alien early life forms are resurrected in evocative detail. Life's evolutionary steps - from the development of a digestive system to the awe of creatures taking to the skies in flight - are conveyed with an alluring, up-close intimacy.

Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises
Ray Dalio, the legendary investor and international bestselling author of Principles - whose books have sold more than five million copies worldwide - shares his unique template for how debt crises work and principles for dealing with them well. This template allowed his firm, Bridgewater Associates, to anticipate 2008's events and navigate them well while others struggled badly.
As he explained in his international bestseller Principles, Ray Dalio believes that almost everything happens over and over again through time, so by studying patterns one can understand the cause-effect relationships behind events and develop principles for dealing with them well. In this three-part research series, he does just that for big debt crises and shares his template in the hopes of reducing the chances of big debt crises happening and helping them be better managed in the future.
The template comes in three parts:
The Archetypal Big Debt Cycle (which explains the template)
Three Detailed Cases (which examines in depth the 2008 financial crisis, the 1930s Great Depression, and the 1920s inflationary depression of Germany's Weimar Republic)
Compendium of 48 Cases (which is a compendium of charts and brief descriptions of the worst debt crises of the last 100 years)
Whether you're an investor, a policy maker, or are simply interested in debt, this unconventional perspective from one of the few people who navigated the crisis successfully, Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises will help you understand the economy and markets in revealing new ways.
The Forks Over Knives Plan
The Forks Over Knives Plan: If you begin with the right strategy, it is more likely that you will succeed in your lifestyle change. Regardless of the degree of vegetarianism you aspire to achieve, you must begin by eating a plant based died and incorporating more plants into your menu to replace the meats. Many of us eat diets largely consisting of meat, although when we really take note of our diet we realize how unnecessary some of these meats are. Most of the meat that we eat can be cut from our diets painlessly, because we eat them without realizing. Those meats that we do eat are easier than we may think to replace with substitutes. Vegetarianism provides a host of health benefits. Many people are interested in beginning this lifestyle change or at least partially replacing the meats in their diets with more plants. At first, this may seem like an overwhelming task. When a person tries to complete this process all at once, it often becomes too overwhelming and he or she may revert back to old eating habits out of frustration. This does not have to happen. One essential step in changing your diet to a plant based diet is to gain the support of others by informing them of your choices. You will need their support to stay on track and also so that they know your new menu requirements. Begin by keeping a journal of food that you have eaten for maybe a week before you decide to make a change. Analyze all ingredients in your chosen meals and keep track of any meat products used. More than likely, you will realize that some of the meat you have been eating is unnecessary and can easily be eliminated. For example, if you find that you've eaten a green salad with chicken and lasagna, it's very easy to remove the chicken from the salad and make meatless lasagna or add vegetable substitutes. For the most part, your foods will taste the same. Many make the mistake of believing they can't eat their favorite dishes anymore because they see meat as a necessary ingredient to these recipes, when, in fact, in most cases the meat is simply an optional addition.

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.
