Stories of Your Life and Others
'A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.' GUARDIAN
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
'United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion.' CHINA MIEVILLE

Sinatra Frank - Platinum (70th Capitol Collection) 2CD
Francis Albert Sinatra (12. december 1915 – 14. máj 1998) bol americký spevák a herec. Je považovaný za jedného z najpopulárnejších zabávačov polovice 20. storočia. Sinatra patrí medzi svetovo najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov s odhadovaným predajom 150 miliónov platní. Sinatra sa narodil talianskym prisťahovalcom v Hobokene v štáte New Jersey a svoju hudobnú kariéru začal v ére swingu s kapelníkmi Harrym Jamesom a Tommym Dorseym a bol veľmi ovplyvnený intímnym, ľahko počúvateľným vokálnym štýlom Binga Crosbyho. Po podpise zmluvy s Columbia Records v roku 1943 dosiahol úspech ako sólový umelec. V roku 1946 vydal Sinatra svoj debutový album The Voice of Frank Sinatra. V roku 1983 bol Sinatra ocenený na Kennedy Center Honors. V roku 1985 mu bola udelená Prezidentská medaila slobody a v roku 1997 Zlatá medaila Kongresu. Sinatra získal jedenásť cien Grammy vrátane ceny Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award a Grammy za celoživotné dielo. Časopis Time ho zaradil do zostavy 100 najvplyvnejších ľudí 20. storočia.
Platinum oslavuje v krásnom zberateľskom sete 70. výročie podpísania zmluvy Frankom Sinatrom s Capitol Records, moment, ktorý zmenil jeho kariéru a upevnil jeho postavenie jedného z najlepších interpretačných spevákov všetkých čias. V rokoch 1953 – 1962 nahral Sinatra pre Capitol viac ako tristo piesní, z ktorých väčšina bola zaradená na prelomové „koncepčné“ albumy, na ktorých Sinatra bol priekopníkom. Je to pravdepodobne najlepšie zaznamenané dielo v populárnej hudbe.Platinum obsahuje prierez najlepších a najvyhľadávanejších Sinatrových skladieb Capitol, od swingujúcej „I've Got You Under My Skin“ a temperamentnej „Come Fly With Me“ až po úchvatnú „Moonlight In Vermont“ a melanchólia „Only The Lonely“ s mnohými vrcholmi pred, počas a po týchto klasických nahrávkach. Zahrnuté sú aj rarity trezoru, vrátane záberov, ktoré odhaľujú Sinatrovo umenie v štúdiu.

King of Battle and Blood
An instant USA Today bestseller! From fan-favorite Scarlett St. Clair, the bestselling author of the Hades & Persephone series, comes a new fantasy filled with danger, darkness, and insatiable romance. Their union is his revenge.
Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him. But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead.
Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court. Except it isn't the court she fears most-it's Adrian.

Vojenské umenie
V dobe Niccola Machiavelliho sa na politickej scéne diali neustále zmeny, ktoré prinášali jeho mestu a štátu Florencii mnohokrát pokoru. Počas svojho života sa Machiavelli snažil o zveľadenie svojho mesta a samostatnosť a nezávislosť Florencie od in
ých mocností. Vo svojich snahách poukazoval na to, že každý štát musí mať schopné vojsko, armádu, ktorá dokáže odolávať nepriateľským tlakom a zabezpečí ochranu vlastného územia. Bol si vedomý, že úplatné žoldnierske armády, ktoré stoja raz na strane
jedného, raz iného panovníka, nie sú riešením pri budovaní nezávislého štátu v Taliansku a že armáda by sa mala utvárať inak. Príklady na vybudovanie spoľahlivej armády, ktorá by dokázala ochrániť štát pred nepriateľskými vpádmi, Machiavelli nachádz
al najmä v období starovekého Ríma. Svoje názory ucelene predkladá v diele Vojenské umenie. Systematicky v ňom prechádza všetky oblasti vojenstva a podáva nám obraz o tom, ako by sa malo vybudovať silné vojsko schopné plniť si svoje úlohy. Dielo nám
poskytuje veľa informácií o vojenských otázkach obdobia renesancie a o pomeroch, ktoré v tých časoch vládli najmä vo Florencii. Súčasťou knihy je odborná štúdia Pavla Koprdu pod názvom Machiavelliho vzťah k vojenstvu. Prierezovo skúma celé Machiavell
iho dielo a približuje nám jeho postoj k otázkam vojenstva. Slovenský text

Bittersweet
In this inspiring masterpiece, bestselling author Susan Cain shows the power of the "bittersweet" -- the outlook that values the experiences of loss and pain, which can lead to growth and beauty. Understanding bittersweetness can change the way we work, the way we create and the way we love.
Each chapter helps us navigate an issue that define our lives, from love to death and from authenticity to creativity. Using examples ranging from music and cinema to parenting and business, as well as her own life and the latest academic research, she shows how understanding bittersweetness will allow us, in a flawed world, to accept the loss of past identities; to fully embrace the loves we have; and to weather life's transitions.
Bittersweet reveals that vulnerability and even melancholy can be strengths, and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole. This is a book for those who have felt a piercing joy at the beauty of the world; who react intensely to art and nature; and in a culture that celebrates toughness, who yearn for a wiser and more meaningful world. For bittersweetness is the hidden source of our love stories, moonshots and masterpieces.

Joga smiechu
Napadne vám občas, že sa málo smejete? Smiech má na človeka blahodarný účinok. Pôsobí ako prevencia duševných a fyzických chorôb a pomáha pri ich liečbe. Stres, depresia, vyčerpanosť, civilizačné choroby, to všetko sa na nás valí aj preto, lebo sme sa prestali smiať. Otázka teraz znie, ako to napraviť. V detstve prichádza smiech spontánne, no s pribúdajúcim vekom mu kladieme množstvo prekážok. Predtým neexistovala spoľahlivá, vedecky podložená metóda, ako ľudí rozosmiať. Stalo sa tak pred dvadsiatimi piatimi rokmi, keď doktor Madan Kataria založil v Indii prvý klub jogy smiechu. Dnes žnú vo svete fenomenálny úspech. Joga smiechu sa praktikuje vo firmách, v školách či v domovoch dôchodcov. Využíva sa pritom pozoruhodný cvičebný program, ktorý kombinuje jogové dýchanie so smiechom, čo je ideálny nástroj na dosiahnutie dobrej kondície tela aj mysle. Možno budete prekvapení, ale nepotrebujete na to pomôcky, cvičebný úbor, drahé kurzy – ba ani zmysel pre humor! Vyskúšajte ju a pozorujte ten rozdiel sami na sebe.
