Šaría pre nemoslimov
Islam je politický systém s vlastnou zbierkou zákonov, ktorá sa volá šaría. Šaría je založená na úplne iných princípoch ako náš právny systém. Mnohé z jej nariadení sa pritom týkajú aj nemoslimov. Čo znamená právo šaría pre našich občanov? Ako sa nás dotýka? Aké budú dôsledky, ak dovolíme moslimom riadiť sa šaríou a nie našimi zákonmi? Každá požiadavka moslimov je založená na myšlienke nastolenia šaríe v našej krajine. Mali by sme u nás šaríu povoliť alebo nie? A prečo? Ako môžu politici alebo úradníci rozhodovať o práve šaría, keď mu nerozumejú? Je to správne? V tejto knihe nájdete odpovede na všetky tieto otázky.

Kafka on the Shore
Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky, a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night, a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.

The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers: And Other Gruesome Tales
Jen Campbell's collection of terrifyingly gruesome tales lends a modern edge to fairy tale collections for young readers. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of fairy tale history, Campbell's stories undo the censoring, gender stereotyping and twee endings of more modern children's fairy tales, to return both classic and little-known stories to their grim versions, whilst celebrating a diverse range of characters.
Featuring 14 short stories from around the globe, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is illustrated in a contemporary style by Canadian comic artist Adam de Souza. De Souza's brooding illustrations are a highly original blend of 19th-century Gothic engravings and moody film noir graphic novels. Beautifully produced in a hardback format with a rose gold ribbon marker, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is a truly thrilling gift.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialized in The Egoist from 1914 to 1915 and published in book form in 1916. It depicts the formative years in the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and a pointed allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus.A Portrait is a key example of the Künstlerroman (an artist's bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce's novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions he has been brought up in. He finally leaves for Paris to pursue his calling as an artist. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The Modern Library ranked Portrait as the third greatest English-language novel of the twentieth century.

The Curse of Saints - A Szentek Átka
Aya a királynő kéme és bizalmasa, a fegyelemnek és a kötelességnek szenteli életét, és arra használja az istenektől kapott adottságát, hogy megakadályozza a sötét varázslat visszatérését. Megesküdött rá, hogy megvédi a harcostársait, Willt is beleértve, aki a királynő végrehajtója és Aya ádáz ellensége.
Mivel a körülmények rákényszerítik őket arra, hogy együttműködjenek egymással, átmenetileg törékeny fegyverszünetet kötnek. Ám amikor bekövetkezik egy tragédia, Aya gondolkodás nélkül cselekszik, és szabadjára engedi azt az erőt, amit a világ ötszáz évvel ezelőtt látott utoljára. Aya majdnem összeroppan, és szembe kell néznie egy képtelenségnek tűnő igazsággal, ami azzal fenyegeti, hogy elveszíti az irányítást önmaga fölött. Kénytelen együttműködni Will-el, mert ki kell deríteniük, ki is Aya valójában. És talán fegyverként fogják használni egy bizonytalan kimenetelű háborúban.
Will-lel az oldalán és a különleges erő birtokában Ayának el kell döntenie: az-e a küldetése, hogy megmentse szeretett világát - vagy pedig az, hogy elpusztítsa.
Fire Storm and Flood The violence of climate change
An unflinching photographic record of the epic effects of a violent climate, from the earliest extinction events to the present. Violent geologic events have ravaged the Earth since time began, spanning the vast eons of our planet's existence. These seismic phenomena have scored their marks in rock strata and been reflected in fossil records for future humanity to excavate and ponder. For most of the preceeding 78,000 years Homo sapiens simply observed natural climate upheaval. One hundred years ago, however, industrialization stunningly changed the rules, so that now most climate change is driven by us.
Fire, Storm and Flood is an unflinching photographic record of the epic effects of a violent climate, from the earliest extinction events to the present, in which we witness climate chaos forced by unnatural global warming. It uses often emotional and moving imagery to drive home the enormity of climatic events, offering a sweeping acknowledgment of our crowded planet's heartbreaking vulnerability and show-stopping beauty.

Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse
"Nina Schick is alerting us to a danger from the future that is already here." - Adam Boulton, Editor at Large, Sky News
"Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is an urgent, thoughtful and thoroughly-researched book that raises uncomfortable questions about the way that information is being distorted by states and individuals... A must-read." - Greg Williams, Editor in Chief of WIRED UK
"Essential reading for any one interested about the shocking way information is and will be manipulated." - Lord Edward Vaizey
"Schick's Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is a short, sharp book that hits you like a punch in the stomach." - Nick Cohen, The Observer
"Deep Fakes is an uncomfortable but gripping read, probing the way in which the internet has been flooded with disinformation and dark arts propaganda." - Jim Pickard, Chief Political Correspondent, Financial Times
"A searing insight into a world so many of us find difficult to understand. I was gripped from the first page." - Iain Dale, Broadcaster

"Gripping, alarming and morally vital." - Ian Dunt, Host of Remainiacs Podcast
It will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what is fake.
Recent advances in AI mean that by scanning images of a person (for example using Facebook), a powerful machine learning system can create new video images and place them in scenarios and situations which never actually happened. When combined with powerful voice AI, the results are utterly convincing.
So-called 'Deep Fakes' are not only a real threat for democracy but they take the manipulation of voters to new levels. They will also affect ordinary people. This crisis of misinformation we are facing has been dubbed the 'Infocalypse'.
Using her expertise from working in the field, Nina Schick reveals shocking examples of Deep Fakery and explains the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. She also unveils what it means for us as individuals, how Deep Fakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and how unprepared governments and tech companies are.
As a political advisor to select technology firms, Schick tells us what we need to do to prepare and protect ourselves. Too often we build the cool technology and ignore what bad guys can do with it before we start playing catch-up. But when it comes to Deep Fakes, we urgently need to be on the front foot.
