An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth
Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's captivating memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.
Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success - and survival - is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst - and enjoy every moment of it.
In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement - and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.
You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth - especially your own.
David Bowie
Existovala vůbec někdy důležitější série hudebních alb než ta, která David Bowie vydal v letech 1970 až 1980? Jejich žánrová rozmanitost je ohromující, od mystického hard rocku a „mimozemského“ glamu po „plastický soul“ či art rock. Bowie vdechl rockové hudbě nový život a často ji posunul do oblastí, o kterých se mu dříve ani nesnilo.
Jakkoli bylo zmíněné desetileté období velkolepé, stojí Bowieho kariéra za pozornost už od dob, kdy ve swingujícím Londýně teprve nesměle aspiroval na příští superhvězdu, až po album Blackstar. To lze považovat za nejcennější dárek na rozloučenou, jaký kdy hudebník dal světu. Bowieho odkaz však nezůstává zapsaný jen v dějinách hudby: byl skvělým hercem ve filmu i na jevišti, průkopníkem internetu, milovníkem umění i kulturním fenoménem.
Tato kniha, čerpající z archivů časopisu Classic Rock, mapuje Bowieho jedinečnou cestu. Ponoříme se v ní do příběhů vzniku jeho klíčových alb od Hunky Dory a The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars přes desky, řazené do Berlínské trilogie či Let?s Dance až po pozoruhodný comeback The Next Day a dechberoucí završení zpěvákovy tvorby v podobě Blackstar. Zaposlouchejte se tedy do „Ziggyho Stardusta“, pusťte si desku Low nebo některé z jeho skvělých přehlížených alb, jako je třeba Earthling, a užijte si to...

Lacná kniha Smrt jako poslední překážka (-50%)
Asi před rokem mi zemřela maminka. Našli ji bezvládně ležet na chodníku před vysokým mrakodrapem v Chicagu. Ve třicátém šestém patře na chodbě bylo otevřené okno. My jsme bydleli o čtyři patra výš. Nikdo dodnes nezná příčinu, proč by si chtěla vzít život, jediná reálná verze je, že byla těžce nemocná...

Temné ozvěny
Když policistka Rebeka Northová opustila své rodné venkovské městečko, slíbila si, že už se nikdy nevrátí. To však změnila zdánlivá sebevražda jejího otce. Podle oficiální zprávy se policista ve výslužbě Noah North zastřelil, po tom, co převrhl lampu a zapálil svůj odlehlý srub. Ale Rebeka odmítá uvěřit, že si na život sáhl sám. Aby dokázala opak, potřebuje pomoc Ashe Haugena, muže, kterého kdysi opustila. Rebeku a Ashe však spojuje víc než jen zlomená srdce. Je mezi nimi něco temnějšího, co se během vyšetřování znovu probouzí k životu. Stopy je zavedou do domu Olivie Westové a její dvanáctileté dcery Tori, která má velké problémy. Dívka ví o vraždě víc, než si kdo dokáže představit, ale je příliš vyděšená, než aby řekla jediné slovo. A když se z minulosti vynoří chladnokrevný vrah, Rebeka a Ash se začnou obávat, že přežít svá vlastní tajemství bude možná ještě těžší.

Sanskrit Parsing
About the BookIndia has a rich grammatical tradition, still extant in the form of PAoini’s grammar as well as the theories of verbal cognition. These two together provide a formal theory of language communication. The formal nature of the theory makes it directly relevant to the new technology called Natural Language Processing.This book, first presents the key concepts from the Indian Grammatical Tradition (IGT) that are necessary for understanding the information flow in a language string and its dynamics. A fresh look at these concepts from the perspective of Natural Language Processing is provided. This is then followed by a concrete application of building a parser for Sanskrit using the framework of Indian Grammatical Tradition.This book not only documents the salient pieces of work carried out over the last quarter century under Computational Paninian Grammar, but provides the first comprehensive exposition of the ideas involved. It fills a gap for students of Computational Linguistics/Natural Language Processing who are working on Indian languages using PAoinian Grammatical Framework for developing their computational models and do not have direct access to the texts in Sanskrit. Similarly for the Sanskrit scholars and the students it provides an example of concrete application of the Indian theories to solve a contemporary problem.About the AuthorAmba Kulkarni is a computational linguist. Since 1991 she has been engaged in showing the relevance of Indian Grammatical Tradition to the field of computational linguistics. She has contributed towards the building of Anusaarakas (language accessors) among English and Indian languages. She is the founder head of the Department of Sanskrit Studies, University of Hyderabad established in 2006. Since then her focus of research is on use of Indian grammatical theories for computational processing of Sanskrit texts. Under her leadership, a consortium of institutes developed several computational tools for Sanskrit and also a prototype of Sanskrit–Hindi Machine Translation system. In 2015, she was awarded a “Vishishta Sanskrit Sevavrati Sammana” by the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, New Delhi for her contribution to the studies and research on Sanskrit-based knowledge system. She was a fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla during 2015-17.

The Janus Point
What is time? Why is the past so different from the present and the future?
This simple question is in fact one of the deepest, most long-standing problems in physics. None of the known laws of the universe can fully explain it. In The Janus Point, Julian Barbour presents a bold new thesis and a possible solution, with radical implications for our understanding of the Big Bang and the nature of time itself.
His argument rests on two vital insights. The first is that the most common explanation for time - entropy - is flawed: firstly, because we have no way of explaining how the concentration of energy that would allow the Big Bang to take place came about, and secondly because none of our understanding of entropy takes into account the fact that the universe is infinitely expanding. In addition, our universe is actually becoming ever more complex and ordered as it expands, not less so. The second is a phenomenon which Barbour labels 'The Janus Point': any system of particles in motion will pass through a single moment of smallest size, never to be repeated.
Combining these two observations, Barbour argues that the universe, and therefore time itself, may not have begun at the Big Bang, but rather at The Janus Point, thus solving the conundrum of entropy.
Monumental in vision and scope, The Janus Point offers a ground-breaking challenge to our understanding of the universe and a brilliant solution of breath-taking elegance and import to this most fundamental of problems.

Prince - The Truth (Reissue) LP
Prince Rogers Nelson (7. júna 1958 – 21. apríla 2016), bežne známy pod menom Prince, bol americký spevák, skladateľ, hudobník a hudobný producent. Je držiteľom mnohých ocenení a nominácií a je všeobecne považovaný za jedného z najväčších hudobníkov svojej generácie. Bol známy svojou okázalou, androgýnnou osobnosťou, širokým hlasovým rozsahom a zručnosťou multiinštrumentalistu, ktorý často uprednostňoval hru na všetky, alebo väčšinu nástrojov na svojich nahrávkach. Prince produkoval svoje albumy sám a bol priekopníkom zvuku Minneapolis. Jeho hudba zahŕňala širokú škálu štýlov vrátane funku, R&B, rocku, novej vlny, soulu, synth-popu, popu, jazzu a hip hopu.
"The Truth" je 21. plnohodnotný štúdiový album interpréta, piaty, ktorý má na konte "Symbol". Bol to prvý album označený ako „akustický“.

Vo veľkej miere sa však zameriava na akustický zvuk.

Four Dead Queens
Keralie Corrington is a talented pickpocket in the kingdom of Quadara. She steals under the guidance of her mentor Mackiel, who runs a black market selling their bounty to buyers desperate for what they can't get in their own quadrant. For Quadara is a nation divided into four regions, each strictly separated from the other, and each with their own queen.
When a routine theft goes horribly wrong, Keralie discovers the item she's stolen from a messenger contains instructions to murder the four queens. Hoping that discovering the intended recipient will reveal the culprit - valuable information that she can barter with - Keralie teams up with Varin Bollt, the messenger she stole from, to complete his delivery and uncover the would-be murderer. But with Keralie and Varin each keeping secrets - and the lives of the queens hanging in the balance - everything is at stake, and no one can be trusted.

So Let Them Burn
Whip-smart and immersive, this Jamaican-inspired fantasy follows a gods-blessed heroine who's forced to choose between saving her sister or protecting her homeland - perfect for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and Fourth Wing.
Faron Vincent can channel the power of the gods. Five years ago, she used her divine magic to liberate her island from its enemies, the dragon-riding Langley Empire. But now, at seventeen, Faron is all powered up with no wars to fight. She's a legend to her people and a nuisance to her neighbours.
When she's forced to attend an international peace summit, Faron expects that she will perform tricks like a trained pet and then go home. She doesn't expect her older sister, Elara, forming an unprecedented bond with an enemy dragon - or the gods claiming the only way to break that bond is to kill her sister.
As Faron's desperation to find another solution takes her down a dark path, and Elara discovers the shocking secrets at the heart of the Langley Empire, both must make difficult choices that will shape each other's lives, as well as the fate of their world.
