Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway
The only holidays I want to hear about are the ones where things went WRONG. That way, I don't feel bad about missing out.
Greg Heffley and his family are getting out of town in the twelfth instalment of Jeff Kinney's bestselling series.
With the cold weather setting in and the stress of the Christmas holiday approaching, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
A few days in paradise should do wonders for Greg and his frazzled family.
But they soon discover that paradise isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Sun-poisoning, stomach troubles and venomous creatures all threaten to ruin the family's vacation.
Can their trip be saved, or will this island getaway end in disaster?
Whether a loyal fan already or new to the Wimpy Kid books, THE GETAWAY is the perfect book for young readers!
The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: No Brainer
In No Brainer, book 18 of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney, it's up to Greg to save his crumbling school before it's shuttered for good. Up until now, middle school hasn't exactly been a joyride for Greg Heffley. So when the town threatens to close the crumbling building, he's not too broken up about it.
But when Greg realizes this means he's going to be sent to a different school than his best friend, Rowley Jefferson, he changes his tune. Can Greg and his classmates save their school before it's shuttered for good? Or is this the start of a whole new chapter for Greg?
Grateful Dead - History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice): 50th Anniversary Remaster LP
KDO: Legendární rocková skupina ze San Francisca vznikla v roce 1965 a patří k zásadním reprezentantům zlatého věku rockové hudby. Na přelomu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let se proslavila dlouhými a divokými improvizacemi během koncertních vystoupení. V tvorbě pracovala s vlivy nejrůznějších hudebních stylů od rocku a psychedelie, přes folk a bluegrass, až třeba ke gospelu, jazzu nebo reggae. Rozpadla se v roce 1995, kdy zemřela vůdčí osobnost skupiny, kytarista a zpěvák Jerry Garcia. V roce 2007 skupina obdržela Grammy za celoživotní přínos.
CO: Nově zremasterované koncertní album z roku 1973 vychází jako připomínka padesáti let, které uplynuly od smrti zakládajícího člena skupiny Rona Pigpen McKernana.

Curious History of Weights and Measures
A fascinating miscellany of the stories behind our weights and measures.
How long is an ell? How big is the largest champagne bottle? How do you measure the heat of a chili pepper? Why is the depth of water measured in fathoms? And what, exactly, is a cubit?
The Curious History of Weights & Measures tells the story of how we have come to quantify the world around us. Looking at everything from carats, pecks, and pennyweights, to firkins, baker’s dozens, and modern science-based standards such as kilograms and kilometers, this book considers both what sparked the creation of measures and why there were so many efforts to usher in standardization. Full of handy conversion charts and beautiful illustrations, The Curious History of Weights & Measures is a treasure trove of fun facts and intriguing stories about the calculations we use every day.

The Science of Fate
So many of us believe that we are free to shape our own destiny. But what if free will doesn't exist? What if our lives are largely predetermined, hardwired in our brains - and our choices over what we eat, who we fall in love with, even what we believe are not real choices at all?
Neuroscience is challenging everything we think we know about ourselves, revealing how we make decisions and form our own reality, unaware of the role of our unconscious minds. Did you know, for example, that:
* You can carry anxieties and phobias across generations of your family?
* Your genes and pleasure and reward receptors in your brain will determine how much you eat?
* We can sniff out ideal partners with genes that give our offspring the best chance of survival?
Leading neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow draws vividly from everyday life and other experts in their field to show the extraordinary potential, as well as dangers, which come with being able to predict our likely futures - and looking at how we can alter what's in store for us.
Lucid, illuminating, awe-inspiring The Science of Fate revolutionises our understanding of who we are - and empowers us to help shape a better future for ourselves and the wider world.
My Brief History
His clarity, wit and determination are evident, his understand and good humour moving' New Scientist
My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking's improbable journey, from his post-war London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him `Einstein'; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of academia.
Writing with characteristic humility and humour, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease aged twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onwards through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time - one of the iconic books of the twentieth century.
Clear-eyed, intimate and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking's personal cosmos.

Her Majesty. A Photographic History 1926-Today
Born in 1926, married in 1947, crowned as Queen in 1953, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has carried out her duty for more than six decades. TASCHEN celebrates her remarkable royal story with a new edition of Her Majesty, a definitive photographic collection of her public and private life.
Brimming with history, tradition, glamour, and culture, the book spans the Queen's early years right through to her most recent state tours and ceremonies. Along the way, we trace her coming of age during World War II; her marriage, motherhood, and coronation; her encounters with such icons of their age as the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and JFK; and her extensive international travels. We visit the spectacular royal palaces and enjoy the infectious celebration of royal weddings and jubilees. We witness the elegance of official portraits, and the tenderness and humor of informal and family moments.
As much a showcase of top photographers as a royal celebration, Her Majesty includes the work of such luminaries as Cecil Beaton, Studio Lisa, Dorothy Wilding, Karsh, Lord Snowdon, David Bailey, Patrick Lichfield, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rankin, and Annie Leibovitz
A History of the Czech Lands
A History Of The Czech Lands podává soustavný výklad naší historie od pravěku až po vstup České republiky do Evropské unie v roce 2004. Kniha sleduje vývoj českého státu a národa, stejně jako menšin žijících na českém území, zejména Židů, Němců, Slováků a Poláků. Osu výkladu tvoří proměny státu (včetně území, která k němu patřila jen dočasně) a společnosti v něm žijící, ale pozornost je věnována rovněž kultuře, náboženství, populačnímu vývoji a tisíciletému přetváření krajinného prostředí. Za vedení dvojice předních českých historiků – Jaroslava Pánka a Oldřicha Tůmy – knihu zpracoval kolektiv odborníků z Historického ústavu a z Ústavu pro soudobé dějiny Akademie věd České republiky. Druhé, doplněné vydání obsahuje bohatý obrazový doprovod (133 ilustrací a fotografií) a 16 map zachycujících územní vývoj českých zemí. Knihu uzavírá nová kapitola, věnovaná událostem let 1993–2004. Dle zahraničních recenzí prvního vydání nejucelenější výklad českých dějin dostupný v angličtině.

Albi Science: Praveké akvárium
Vychovajte 2 generácie skutočných listonohov so sadou Praveké akvárium z edície Albi Science. Pripravte akvárium a sledujte, ako sa z vajíčok liahnu prastarí triopsi – 200 miliónov rokov staré živé fosílie.
Vytvorte si akváriové pozorovacie laboratórium s liahňou, kaviarňou, plážou a nočným klubom a pozorujte vývoj a správanie týchto roztomilých tvorov v rôznych prostrediach.
Pre chov listonohov budete potrebovať destilovanú alebo prevarenú vodu a lampu so žiarovkou. Nie je možné použiť LED lampičku, listonohové pre optimálne podmienky na vyliahnutie potrebujú teplo zo svetelného zdroja, odporúčame teda lampičku s klasickou žiarovkou.

Sada Praveké akvárium obsahuje: akvárium pre listonohy s 5 zónami, plastové dvierka, vajíčka listonohov v kapsuli, kŕmenie pre listonohy, piesok, farebné kamienky, žiarivé korálky, lupu, teplomer, umelohmotnú lyžicu, fľaštičku s kvapkadlom, sadu nálepiek a návod.

Science Of Love Making
"Sex" is more than joy; and this is the thing that numerous individuals don't know about. At the point when "sex" gets unpleasing and ignored in marriage, it could without much of a stretch bring incredible wretchedness and debacle upon the couple. Sexuality is a vital part of the affection connection between a man and a lady. Because of its significance, the subject should not be disregarded or stayed away from neither by advisors nor by couples. Sexual energy is the most impressive power one can without much of a stretch disparage when thought about just as a wellspring of delight.

Fear: An Alternative History of the World
It's been said that, after 9/11, the 2008 financial crash and the Covid-19 pandemic, we're a more fearful society than ever before. Yet fear, and the panic it produces, have long been driving forces - perhaps the driving force - of world history: fear of God, of famine, war, disease, poverty, and other people. In Fear: An Alternative History of the World, Robert Peckham considers the impact of fear in history, as both a coercive tool of power and as a catalyst for social change.
Beginning with the Black Death in the fourteenth century, Peckham traces a shadow history of fear. He takes us through the French Revolution and the social movements of the nineteenth century to modern market crashes, Cold War paranoia and the AIDS pandemic, into a digital culture increasingly marked by uniquely twenty-first-century fears.
What did fear mean to us in the past, and how can a better understanding of it equip us to face the future? As Peckham demonstrates, fear can challenge as well as cement authority. Some crises have destroyed societies; others have been the making of them. Through the stories of the people and the moments that changed history, Fear: An Alternative History of the World reveals how fear and panic made us who we are.
The Meaning of History
The Meaning of History is the senior thesis written by Henry Kissinger at Harvard university in 1950, when he was twenty-seven. More than 70 years later it is now being published for the first time. The thesis explores the thought of three distinct but important thinkers in the canon of Western philosophical and historical thought, in a way that also reflected Kissinger's own transition from the Continental world to the Atlantic. Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was a German historian and philosopher; Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975) a British historian and philosopher and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a Prussian of the European Enlightenment era and one of the most important moral and political philosophers to emerge from his time.
The study is intimidatingly long and weighty in its own right; at almost four hundred typed pages, it wrestles with some of the first-order dilemmas of Western political, philosophical, and moral thought. Its scope ranges from the Enlightenment through to the midpoint of the twentieth century - an era scourged by two world wars and the advent of the nuclear age. Equally important, it provides great insight into the conceptual perspective of its author, Henry Kissinger, who was to become the most influential American scholar statesman of the post 1945 period.
