Kam zavolá odvaha
Kam zavolá odvaha je voľným pokračovaním série Príbehy z kanadského západu. Jej odvaha a srdce budú skúšané spôsobmi, ktoré nikdy nečakala...
Beth Thatcherová strávila celý život v bezpečnom a pohodlnom svete rodiny, priateľov a spoločenských podujatí, ktorý jej zaručilo otcovo bohatstvo. Na prekvapenie všetkých však prijme miesto učiteľky v drsnom podhorí západnej Kanady. Inšpirovaná svojou tetou Elizabeth, ktorá pred rokmi odišla učiť na západ, a za povzbudzovania svojho otca sa Beth rozhodne dôverovať Bohu a zvládnuť všetky prekážky, ktoré sa jej postavia do cesty.
Podmienky v Uhoľnom údolí sú však ešte horšie, než sa obávala. Nedávne banské nešťastie zanechalo mestečko, kde všetko ovláda ťažobná spoločnosť, ponorené v zármutku. Predchádzajúci učiteľ poskytol tamojším deťom veľmi chabé základy a mnohí z miestnych obyvateľov ani nehovoria po anglicky. Nie je tam dokonca ani škola. Beth navyše rieši aj citový problém, jej srdce je rozpoltené medzi dvoma mladými mužmi. Obaja slúžia v horskej polícii: jedného pozná prakticky odmalička, druhého stretla až v Uhoľnom údolí – je to láskavý, mierny muž, ktorý jej vždy ochotne podal pomocnú ruku.
Napriek prekážkam je Beth odhodlaná zmeniť zapadnuté horské mestečko k lepšiemu. Keď ju však príde z východu navštíviť sestra, pripomenie jej luxus, ktorého sa svojím rozhodnutím odísť na západ Beth vzdala. Vráti sa po skončení školského roka k privilegovanému životu v kruhu svojej rodiny?

Českoslovenští letci
Letectví, jako všechny ostatní obory lidské činnosti, přináší s sebou mnohá rizika ohrožující život člověka; zejména pak v průběhu válečných konfliktů. Obrovské rozlohy světového válčiště v době druhé světové války přinutily ozbrojené síly jednotlivých států, aby věnovaly velkou pozornost vzdušným dopravním prostředkům jak pro plynulé zásobování vzdálených bojišť, tak i pro jejich přímé a rychlé spojení s příslušným velitelstvím centrálně tam řídícím útočné či obranné operace. V době válečných konfliktů, ve srovnání s civilním provozem, existují jiné ekonomické ukazatele letecké vzdušné dopravy. Mnohdy nerozhodují počty osob na palubě letadla, ani hmotnost přepravovaného nákladu. Rozhodující je jeho potřeba a hlavně čas, který se při letecké činnosti počítá ne na dny, ale na hodiny. Předmětem následující stati není komplexní přehled leteckých nehod zmíněné dopravní jednotky RAF, je pouhým výběrem některých z nich – v průběhu celkem sedmi uváděných leteckých nehod však došlo k pětaosmdesáti ztrátám na lidských životech. Je ukázkou, že ve válečném konfliktu neumírá člověk jen v přímém boji, ale často i v průběhu celého rozsahu pojetí válečné služby.

Najhorší rodičia na svete
Svetoznámy britský komik a autor detských bestsellerov David Walliams už napísal tri knihy o najhorších deťoch na svete aj knihu o najhorších učiteľoch, no nezabudol ani na rodičov. Samozrejme, je to kniha o tých najhorších a najtrápnejších rodičoch na zemeguli. Že tých máte doma? No... veď uvidíme... Každému, kto siahne po tejto knihe, okamžite svitne, že jeho rodičia tým našim nesiahajú ani po členky. Ak sa k vám priblíži Peter Puch, okamžite si musíte zapchať nos alebo utekať po kyslíkovú masku. Najrýchlejšej matke Uršule Uponáhľanej by sa rýchlo odpratal z cesty aj medveď grizly. A Monty Monopol? Kradne hračky vlastným deťom. Radšej si dajte pozor. Áno, všetci rodičia sú trápni, ale pri čítaní o tých najpodivnejších, najtrápnejších a najšialenejších vám môžu od smiechu prasknúť gate. A kto vám ich potom zašije? No predsa tá najhoršia z najhorších! Supermatka! Má otrasné šaty, v jednej ruke kefu, v druhej mop, a už sa teší, ako vám ich zašije... alebo prišije k...

Moms
Lee Soyeon, Myeong-ok, and Yeonjeong are all mothers in their mid-fifties. And they ve had it. They can no longer bear the dead weight of their partners or the endless grind of menial jobs where their bosses control everything, down to how much water they can drink. Although Lee Soyeon divorced her husband years ago after his gambling drove their family into bankruptcy, she finds herself in another tired and dishonest decade-long relationship with Jongseok, a slimy waiter at a nightclub. Meanwhile, Myeong-ok is having an illicit affair with a younger man, and Yeonjeong, whose husband suffers from erectile dysfunction, has her eye on an acquaintance from the gym. Bored with conventional romantic dalliances, these women embrace outrageous sexual adventures and mishaps, ending up in nightclubs, motels, and even the occasional back-alley brawl. With this boisterous and darkly funny manhwa, Yeong-shin Ma defies the norms of the traditional Korean family narrative, offering instead the refreshingly honest and unfiltered story of a group of middle-aged moms who yearn for something more than what the mediocre men in their lives can provide. Despite their less-than-desirable jobs, salaries, husbands, and boyfriends, these women brazenly bulldoze their way through life with the sexual vulnerability and lust typically attributed to twenty-somethings.

Lacná kniha Bury Me Standing (-70%)
Gypsies have always intrigued and fascinated - partly because of their mysterious origins, and partly because of the romance of nomadism. But because they resist assimilation, having survived as a distinct people for over a thousand years, they have
also been the victims of other people's nationalism and xenophobia. In this fascinating and timely study, Fonseca focuses particularly on the gypsies in Eastern Europe (an estimated 6 million), and their future as a distinct race within a nationalist
Europe. While researching the book, Fonseca learned Romany and stayed with the gypsies, becoming deeply involved with their lives, and befriending several gypsy kings. The result is a clolourful and frank book, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity,
without lapsing into piety or romanticism.

Harlem Shuffle
To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably-priced furniture, making a life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home.
Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his facade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger and bigger all the time.
See, cash is tight, especially with all those instalment plan sofas, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace at the furniture store, Ray doesn't see the need to ask where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweller downtown who also doesn't ask questions.
Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa - the 'Waldorf of Harlem' - and volunteers Ray's services as the fence. The heist doesn't go as planned; they rarely do, after all. Now Ray has to cater to a new clientele, one made up of shady cops on the take, vicious minions of the local crime lord, and numerous other Harlem lowlifes.
Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. As Ray navigates this double life, he starts to see the truth about who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid getting killed, save his cousin, and grab his share of the big score, all while maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs?
HARLEM SHUFFLE is driven by an ingeniously intricate plot that plays out in a beautifully recreated Harlem of the early 1960s. It's a family saga masquerading as a crime novel, a hilarious morality play, a social novel about race and power, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem.
Algorithms to Live By
A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime?Exploring how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, `Algorithms To Live By' helps to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. When should you switch between different tasks, and how many tasks should you take on in the first place? How much messiness should you accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favourites is the most fulfilling? When computers face constraints of time and space, they too must untangle very human questions: how to have better hunches, when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.Acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms developed for computers can be applied from finding your spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing your inbox to understanding the workings of memory. Where you have a dilemma, they have a rule, and each fascinating algorithm turns the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

Volám sa Katka. Keby ste sa opýtali mojich rodičov na to, aká som, bez dychu by z nich vypadlo: zvedavá a zasnívaná. Áno, mám problém sa sprítomniť. Svedčí o tom jazva na mojej hornej pere ako viditeľná pamiatka na to, že mám hlavu ustavične v oblakoch. Lenže jemu sa tá jazva páči. Nevadí mu moja všetečnosť, záľuba v tmavých lakoch na nechty či nenávisť k programovaniu. Berie ma takú, aká som, čo sa mojim rodičom nedarí, odkedy som sa narodila. Rozpaľuje ma svojou temperamentnou španielčinou, no dokáže aj mnohé iné veci. Nie nadarmo nosí indiánske meno Ten, ktorý vie. Zliezol z peruánskych Ánd, prerušil styk so svojou rodinou a splynul s neznámym európskym davom. On tvrdí, že to urobil iba preto, že je samotár. V skutočnosti ma prišiel pred niečím varovať. A moja zvedavosť sa nezaprela. Vďaka nej som sa vybrala po krehkom moste, ktorý prepojil môj racionálny svet s jeho iracionálnym, s jediným cieľom: nájsť pravdu.

V zóne smrti
Mladá novinárka a amatérska horolezkyňa Cecily Wong sa spolu so skupinou skúsených horolezcov vydáva do Himalájí – má tam podniknúť svoj doteraz najnebezpečnejší výstup na ôsmu najvyššiu horu sveta - Manaslu. Jej ambíciou je získať interview od slávneho horolezca Charlesa McVeigha, ktorý chce výstupom na túto horu úspešne zavŕšiť svoj pokus o zdolanie štrnástich osemtisícoviek za jediný kalendárny rok, navyše bez prídavného kyslíka. Cecily, ktorá na dosiahnutie svojho cieľa obetovala vzťah s priateľom aj úspory, si uvedomuje, že podobná šanca sa jej tak skoro nenaskytne. Úspech by znamenal prelom v jej kariére, no ak sa jej nepodarí získať od McVeigha exkluzívny rozhovor, zlyhá na celej čiare – v práci i v celom svojom živote. Keď však jeden z horolezcov zahynie naoko nešťastnou náhodou, Cecily sa začne obávať, že ich expedícii hrozí nebezpečenstvo. A keď príde o život ďalšia horolezkyňa, je už príliš neskoro na návrat. Mladá žena, uväznená na nebezpečnej hore v jednej z najodľahlejších končín sveta, bude musieť zviesť nielen boj s prírodnými živlami, ale aj s neľútostným vrahom, ktorý si vyberá jednu obeť za druhou...
