As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow
An epic, emotional, breathtaking story of love and loss set amid the Syrian revolution. Burning with the fires of hope and possibility, AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW will sweep you up and never let you go.
A year ago, before the revolution, Salama watched her brother marry her best friend, Layla, and wondered when her own love story might begin. Now she works at the hospital – helping those she can, closing the eyes of those she can't. Layla and her unborn baby are all Salama has left.
Unless you count Khawf. But he's a hallucination; a symptom of the horrors she's seen. Every day he urges Salama to leave. Every day she refuses.
Until she crosses paths with Kenan, the boy with the vivid green eyes, who wants to stay and risk his life for everything Syria could be …

Guilty Not Guilty
It is said that everyone over a certain age can remember distinctly what they were doing when they heard that President Kennedy had been assassinated, or that Princess Diana had been killed in a Paris car crash, but I, for one, could recall all too clearly where I was standing when a policeman told me that my wife had been murdered.
Bill Russell is acting as a volunteer steward at Warwick races when he confronts his worst nightmare - the violent death of his much-loved wife. But worse is to come when he is accused of killing her and hounded mercilessly by the media. His life begins to unravel completely as he loses his job and his home. Even his best friends turn against him, believing him guilty of the heinous crime in spite of the lack of compelling evidence.
Bill sets out to clear his name but finds that proving one's innocence is not easy - one has to find the true culprit, and Bill believes he knows who it is. But can he prove it before he becomes another victim of the murderer.
Guilty Not Guilty is a journey of greed and jealousy set against the grief of personal tragedy and loss, with many a twist and turn along the way.
Lacná kniha Dvanástka (-90%)
Krátko po vypuknutí apokalypsy traja ľudia hľadajú, ako sa dostať zo všeobecného chaosu. Lekárku a nastávajúcu matku Lilu tak veľmi zasiahne rozšírenie epidémie a násilia, že sa radšej zatvára pred svetom a pripravuje sa na príchod dieťaťa, kým spoločnosť okolo nej sa rúca. Kittridgea, známeho pod prezývkou Posledná denverská bašta, donútili okolnosti opustiť svoju pevnosť a vydať sa na cestu autom pomedzi nakazených len s niekoľkými zbraňami a plnou nádržou. Stredoškoláčka April bojuje, aby ochránila mladšieho brata v krajine plnej smrti a rozkladu. Títo traja zistia, že nie sú sami a že práve súdržnosť im dodá nádej aj v najtmavšej noci.
O sto rokov nato sa Amy a jej priatelia ďalej bijú za záchranu ľudstva, hoci nevedia, že pravidlá sa zmenili. Nepriateľ sa vyvinul do novej podoby a nová temná sila chystá svetu niečo oveľa desivejšie ako vykynoženie všetkého živého. Za porazenie Dvanástky bude musieť niekto zo statočných bojovníkov zaplatiť najvyššiu cenu.
Dvanástka je majstrovsky napísaný, dych vyrážajúci príbeh o prežití a sebaobetovaní.

Má srdce z ledu... ale pro ni by spálil celý svět.
Alex Volkov je ďábel s tváří anděla a s prokletou minulostí, jíž nemůže uniknout.
Jeho úsilí je poháněno tragédií, která ho pronásleduje po většinu života, a jeho bezohledná honba za úspěchem a pomstou mu nechává jen málo prostoru pro srdeční záležitosti.
Když je však okolnostmi přinucen postarat se o sestru svého nejlepšího přítele, začne na hrudi cítit něco nečekaného:
Prasklinu.
Tání.
Oheň, který by mohl jeho svět převrátit vzhůru nohama.
Ava Chenová je svobodná duše uvězněná nočními můrami pocházejícími z dětství, na které si nevzpomíná.
Navzdory své zlomené minulosti však nikdy nepřestala vidět na světě krásu... včetně srdce pod ledovou slupkou muže, jehož by nikdy neměla chtít.
Je to nejlepší kamarád jejího bratra.
Její soused.
Její zachránce i její zkáza.
Ti dva se do sebe nikdy neměli zamilovat – ale když se to stalo, na světlo světa vyšla tajemství, která by mohla zničit vše, co je jim drahé.
Twisted Love je román o tom, jak se protiklady přitahují, a má v sobě prvek napětí. Jedná se o první knihu ze série Twisted, ale lze ji číst i samostatně.

Coding for Kids Ages 9-15
Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding?
This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer.
For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get.
From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying.
It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative.
However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead.
And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites.
Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.

Lacná kniha Saeculum (-90%)
Stráviť päť dní v hlbokom lese a skúsiť žiť ako v stredoveku vyzeralo ako výborný nápad. Bastian by si však tento zážitok radšej nechal ujsť. S účasťou na výprave súhlasil len kvôli svojej láske Sandre. Partia dobrodruhov sa vydáva na cestu napriek tomu, že miesto, kde chcú táboriť, bolo kedysi prekliate. Staré povedačky o tom, že kto do lesa vstúpi, nevráti sa už späť, nikto neberie vážne. Počas prvej noci príde prudká búrka a z tábora zmizne prvý člen výpravy. Zostanú len podivné odkazy vyryté do kôry stromu. Keď sa ho ostatní vydajú hľadať, začnú blúdiť. Nechá ich LES odísť?

Lacná kniha Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! (-70%)
Knihu Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! nakreslil v polovici päťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia Jim Downer a verše k obrázkom napísal slávny anglický básnik Ted Hughes. Kniha sa dlhý čas sa považovala za stratenú, ale roku 2008 sa ju podarilo objaviť v Hughesovej pozostalosti a vydať. Knihu predkladáme čitateľom ako faksimile nádherných pôvodných ilustrácií v preklade Jána Gavuru.
Timmy bol parník a vlečná loď, jagal sa ako gong,
plavil sa po rieke, spod kolies hrala mu muzika.
Zdravý bol, rybička, silnejší než Kráľ Kong,
mal nový náter a drevo bez jediného červíka.
Takto sa začína podmanivý príbeh Timmyho, zabudnutého riečneho parníka, ktorý sa jedného dňa sa rozhodne utiecť zo zátoky a preskúmať šíre moria. Timmy má srdce na správnom mieste a chce pomáhať, no dlho akoby o jeho pomoc nikto nestál. Až kým mu osud do ceste nepriveje nádhernú plachetnicu, ktorú treba zachrániť z pazúrov hroznej búrky.
Čo myslíte, podarí sa mu to, nájde znova svoje stratené sebavedomie?

Inside the Third Reich (EN)
Germany in the early 1930s is falling apart. The population is disillusioned, poverty is spreading, and unemployment is everywhere. Many Germans see Adolf Hitler as the only man who can pull the country out of crisis. The Nazi leader’s promise of bread and work for the people makes him popular, and his demands for revenge for the humiliating peace terms after World War I find a sympathetic audience.

Selected chapters in orthopedics and traumatology for medical students
This textbook for medical students include an overview of essential information on etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and treatment of developmental and acquired orthopedic diseases and disorders, including musculoskeletal injuries. It also includes an overview of essential conservative and surgical procedures used in orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system in adult and child patients. As this textbook is intended as an aid for the preparation of the final state exam in surgical fields for the students at the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, the chapters are arranged according to questions taken from the “pool” of Orthopedics and Traumatology used in this exam. However, we believe that this textbook can help students from other medical faculties of Charles University as a tool for quick and easy reference to a range of orthopedic diseases and injuries to the musculoskeletal system.

The Hedgehog And The Fox
The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.
For Isaiah Berlin, there is a fundamental distinction in mankind: those who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things - foxes - and those who relate everything to a central all-embracing system - hedgehogs. It can be applied to the greatest creative minds: Dante, Ibsen and Proust are hedgehogs, while Shakespeare, Aristotle and Joyce are foxes.
Yet when Berlin reaches the case of Tolstoy, he finds a fox by nature, but a hedgehog by conviction; a duality which holds the key to understanding Tolstoy's work, illuminating a paradox of his philosophy of history and showing why he was frequently misunderstood by his contemporaries and critics.
The Book of Bibles
In the beginning was the word, and in the Middle Ages were kings, princes, and high-ranking religious members whose wealth and influence produced illustrated bibles of extraordinary craftsmanship.
This edition brings together 50 of the finest medieval bible manuscripts from the Austrian National Library. With examples from every epoch of the Middle Ages, the collection explores visualizations of the bible in various theological and historical contexts. In impeccable reproduction quality, these stunning images may be appreciated as much as art historical treasures as they are important religious artifacts.
Texts by Andreas Fingernagel, Stephan Füssel, Christian Gastgeber, and a team of 15 scientific authors describe each manuscript in detail, exploring both the evolution of the Bible and the medieval understanding of history. A glossary of important terms is also included so that those not versed in bible history can enjoy the texts as well.
Girl, Goddess, Queen
To hell with love, this goddess has other plans...
Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie: how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying.
The real story is much more interesting.
Persephone wasn't taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her.
Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core.
But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .
A fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy re-imagining from a growing TikTok superstar.
Saving the Planet Without the Bullsh*t : What They Dont Tell You About the Climate Crisis
Have you heard that you should plant trees to save the planet? Or buy carbon offsets when you fly? Or recycle plastic? Go vegan? Or not have children? What if all these actions were a distraction, no matter how well-intentioned?
In this provocative manifesto, Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for the environment have been unfocused and distracted, trying to go in too many directions and concentrating on individual behaviour. While some of these things can be useful, they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry.
Full of counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action, this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.
