Glass Faerie
Emerson Clarke: Sarcastic. Independent. Possibly losing her mind.
Because that’s the only explanation for why she occasionally sees things that aren’t there, right? But one night, an impossible power erupts from her, and Em realizes the truth is crazier than she ever thought: she isn’t losing her mind; she’s magical.
Thrown into an entirely new world of faeries, enchantments—and the annoying guy from down the road who, it turns out, isn’t human either—Em barely has time to learn even the most basic of magic before another startling truth reveals itself: she has a Griffin Ability. A special kind of magic feared by most fae. Now she’s at the top of everyone’s most-wanted list—including the mysterious glass faerie carrying out random attacks on fae.
In this magical and terrifying world that she’s entirely unprepared for, Em must try to figure out who she really is, whom to trust, and how to stay alive long enough to get back to her normal life.
Begin a thrilling new adventure as the bestselling Creepy Hollow series continues eighteen years after the events of A Faerie’s Curse!

Enigma
Her DNA is a weapon, and some will stop at nothing to control it.
Tamisan thought her troubles were over after the defeat of Dr Starrick, the scientist who performed illegal experiments on her, transferring her consciousness into the body of a native of the planet Althar 3. But when Tamisan is set upon by someone she thought she could trust, she realises that Starrick wasn’t the only one who had an interest in her new abilities.
When the attack leaves her an amnesiac and stranded in the jungle once again, Tamisan is found by the Waikari natives – only they think she’s Sifayah, the young woman whose body she now possesses. They want to help her remember, only the memories they hope to restore are of a life that Tamisan never lived.
With her attacker still at large, Tamisan must learn who she is all over again, and fast. She needs her abilities to defend herself from those who would use her, but without her memories, how will she tell who is friend and who is foe?
This is the second and final installment in the Tamisan Series.
“It had a lot of action/adventure and I loved it!”– Stephanie Ford“It is awesome!”– Kimberly Rodighiero

Scaling up
SCALING UP: So you’ve made the decision to grow your business – congratulations! Now get ready for the next challenge: how to scale your business for growth. Even if you manage to sell like crazy, you’ll soon have another problem: you have to be able to deliver to all those new customers. Scalability is about capacity and capability. Does your business have the capacity to grow? Will your business systems, infrastructure, and team be able to accommodate growth? If growth causes your company to stumble because of confusion, orders falling through the cracks, insufficient staff, miscommunication, not enough manufacturing or delivery capacity –you’re going to have unhappy customers. The manual processes that were fine when you were small but now won’t let you move fast enough. You’ll either be putting out fires or desperately trying to keep your head above water. All of which is stressful. Scaling a business means setting the stage to enable and support growth in your company. It means having the ability to grow without being hampered. It requires planning, some funding, and the right systems, staff, processes, technology and partners.

Lacná kniha The Autumn of the Ace (-90%)
Louis de Bernieres is the master of historical fiction which makes you both laugh and cry. This book follows an unforgettable family after the Second World War.
Daniel Pitt was an RAF fighter in the First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second. Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home.
Daniel's marriage has fractured beyond repair and Daniel's relationship with his son, Bertie, has been a failure since Bertie was a small boy.
But after his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and friends back in England. But some bonds are hard to break.
Daniel and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating, also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect. If only they can find a way to move on from the past.
Louis de Bernieres' new novel is a moving account of an extraordinary life in extraordinary times. Daniel is a flawed but captivating hero, and this coming-of-old-age story illuminates both the effect of two World Wars on a generation and the irrepressible spirit and love that can connect people despite great obstacles.

Larry is the secular son in a family of Orthodox Brooklyn Jews. When his father dies, it's his responsibility to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for eleven months.
To the horror and dismay of his sister, Larry refuses - imperilling the fate of his father's soul. To appease her, Larry hatches an ingenious if cynical plan, hiring a stranger through a website called kaddish.com to recite the prayer and shepherd his father's soul safely to rest.
This is Nathan Englander's freshest and funniest work to date - a satire that touches, lightly and with unforgettable humour, on the conflict between religious and secular worlds, and the hypocrisies that run through both.

Teakönyv - Teebook : Rhonoghulita breviarium
Ez a könyv ugyanabból az ős-forrásból ered, mint a Tao Te King vagy Az Öt Gyűrű Könyve. Kelti származású, de eredetileg magyar nyelven íródott. Az angol nyelvű fordítása nem adhatja vissza az eredeti formai kötöttségét, mondanivalóját azonban sikeresen közvetíti. Érdemes egy-egy tea mellett versszakonként megvitatni a barátokkal.
"Rhonogul igéje szüli a valóságotElválasztja a láthatót és láthatatlantA létezők szülnek számtalan nem-létezőtElvesztették a láthatatlan ismeretétKépzelt létet álmodnak a valós helyébeNémely létezők a valóságra ébrednekSzavakkal ez nem megtanítható."
This book comes from the same ancestral source as Tao Te King, The Five Rings Book. Oriental, but written in Hungarian. Your English translation may not return the original form binding. The message, however, is mediated. It is worth discussing every verse with friends, along with a tea.
"Rhonogul’s word gives birth to realitySeparates the visible and invisibleThe beings give birth to countless non-existentThey lost the knowledge of the unseenThey dream an imaginary life instead of the real oneSome beings are waking up to realityIt can’t be taught by words."

Mrs. Newton
June Newton, renowned under her photographic pseudonym Alice Springs, takes the reader on an extraordinary journey from her childhood in Australia, via work and travels with her husband, Helmut Newton, to life today in LA and Monaco. The photographs by and of Springs featured throughout the book—a wonderful contemporary mix of personal snapshots and professional portraits of creative figures including Yves Saint Laurent, Gore Vidal, Balthus, Robert Mapplethorpe, Brassai, Nicole Kidman, and Angelica Houston—illustrate the story of her life, in which the houses and apartments where she has lived stand as milestones. Her previously unpublished diary extracts and her new writing are lit up by gentle irony, disarming honesty, and a photographer's eye for telling detail.Intensely personal and engaging, this book charts the journey through life of a remarkable 20th century woman.
The Story of the Pony Express
An account of the most remarkable mail service ever in existence, and its place in history.The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fast mail line across the North American continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West. It brought the Atlantic coast and the rapidly developing state of California ten days nearer to each other. The Pony Express had only a brief existence, from April 1860 to October 1861, when it was supplanted by the trans-continental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity. The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded by nine years. In fact, it proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year around — a feat that had always been regarded as impossible. The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

Milan Pitlach - Domenica
Je mnoho veselých knih, ale jen málo knih o radosti. O radosti jako o téměř základní životní potřebě, nutné k tomu, abychom zažívali pocity harmonie a štěstí.
Fotograf Milan Pitlach ve svých černobílých snímcích zachytil ony prchavé okamžiky, kdy se odpoutáváme od starostí, vymaňujeme se ze všednodennosti, kdy se nacházíme v samém epicentru smyslu bytí. Radost není umělý konstrukt, ale intenzivní pocit, který může prožívat každý z nás. Jen na něj přes složitosti světa mnohdy zapomínáme. Podobně jako na to, že právě tyto chvíle milosti dokáží být protipólem konečnosti, nám všem také společné danosti smrti. Milan Pitlach svými fotografiemi lidí v momentu spontánní radosti připomíná, co je, ač nehmotné, v životě člověka důležitější než všechny (ne)movitosti světa. Pitlachovy fotografie jsou esencí radosti a on je jejím poslem.
There are many joyful books, but few books about joy about joy as an almost basic necessity of life, essential for us to experience feelings of harmony and happiness. In his black-and-white images, photographer Milan Pitlach has captured those fleeting moments when we detach ourselves from worries and break free from everyday life, moments when we find ourselves at the very epicenter of the meaning of being. Joy is not an artificial construct but an intense feeling accessible to each and every one of us. Its just that the complexities of the world often cause us to forget about it just as we forget that it is precisely these moments of grace that form an antithesis to the finality of existence and the givenness of death shared by us all. Milan Pitlachs images of people at moments of spontaneous joy remind us of the things that, however intangible, are more important in a persons life than all the belongings in the world. His photographs are the essence of joy, and he is its messenger.
Lacná kniha Graphics Reloaded (-70%)
Graphics Reloaded is a compilation of illustrations and graphic motifs that have been reclaimed or recreated from images found and photographed in the street: everyday images of people, road signs, shop front façades, graffitis, stickers, etc. The photographic images are then converted into b/w graphics and motifs, thus acquiring a new richness and meaning through their transformation. This work is composed by three parts: firstly a series of photographs reworked into b/w images, which expose the raw graphic elements, textures, typographic and figurative details uncovered within the urban landscape. The second section contains graphic design compositions and artwork inspired by these images. In the last section we find a clipart resource, which allows designers to create their own artwork using the visual archive of 200 graphic references, also included in the copyright-free CD-ROM in Tiff files.

Think Faster, Talk Smarter
Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical, spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.
A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch, a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown, and then changing the communication landscape.
In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to cut through the anxiety arising from these stressful, impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and calm communication.
Think Faster, Talk Smarter is an energetic, engaging resource for anyone who wants to speak out, spread their ideas, and ultimately share their story.
