5000 : 1 – Leicester City: Premier League vzhůru nohama
V srpnu 2015 sázkové kanceláře stanovily kurz 5000 : 1, že Leicester vyhraje Premier League – bylo to stejně nepravděpodobné jako to, že někdo potká živého Elvise Presleyho.
Dne 2. května 2016 se nemožné stalo skutkem: Leicester dobyl titul mistra Anglie a ve městě i širokém okolí propukly nadšené oslavy.
Události této pozoruhodné sezony můžete prožívat podle toho, jak je líčí Rob Tanner, hlavní fotbalový dopisovatel listu Leicester Mercury. Od těsné záchrany na jaře 2015 přes Ulloův vítězný gól proti Norwichi a Vardyův úžasný volej proti Liverpoolu až po závěrečné utkání na stadionu Stamford Bridge.
Tanner se znalostí prostředí podrobně popisuje klíčové zápasy, rozhodující momenty a heroické výkony, které měly za výsledek senzační triumf Leicesteru City v nejsledovanější klubové fotbalové soutěži na světě. Zároveň přibližuje jednotlivé hráče, kteří se pod geniálním vedením italského trenéra Claudia Ranieriho stali nejnepravděpodobnějšími mistry v dějinách kopané.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
I turned off my brain. It was time to hunt. I took a deep breath, drawing in the scent of the blood inside the humans below. They weren't the only humans around, but they were the closest. Who you were going to hunt was the kind of decision you had to make before you scented your prey. It was too late now to choose anything. Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful sense, superhuman reflexes and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood...life before she became a vampire. All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch you back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out. Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as her. As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could've imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decided whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth? In an irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan in the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion.

Kurz zázraků
Toto je v českém jazyce dosud jediné úplné - vydání Kurzu zázraků, které jeho pisatelé Dr. Helen Schucmanová a Dr. Bill Thetford schválili r. 1975 k vydání prostřednictvím nadace Foudation for Inner Peace. Jeho překlad je nyní dostupný ve 27 jazycích a je široce používán studenty v tisících studijních skupin po celém světě.
Kurz zázraků je jedinečný myšlenkový a duchovní samostudijní program je to kurz trénování mysli, který byl navržen pro odčinění iluze, že jsme jakýmkoli způsobem odloučeni od Boha nebo od druhých lidí. Na úrovni mysli jsme všichni spojeni jako jedno. Naučíme-li se žít tuto pravdu důsledně, strach, zlost a vina ustoupí hlubokému pocitu vnitřního klidu. Kurz nás systematicky vede k prožití Boží Lásky ve všech našich vztazích pomocí procvičování odpuštění (osvobození se od minulosti), ochoty přijmout a následovat vyšší vedení a rozvíjení stavu mysli zaměřené na zázraky. Štěstí, mír, radost a láska jsou přirozené výsledky učení Kurzu.
Kurz se tedy zaměřuje na uzdravení vztahů. Zdůrazňuje, že je jen jednou z mnoha verzí univerzální učební osnovy. Ačkoli používá křesťanskou terminologii, pojednává o obecných duchovních tématech a spiritualitě. Kurz zázraků je univerzálním duchovním učením, jehož účelem je umožnit lidem nalézt svého Vnitřního Učitele.
Kurz zázraků obsahuje tři samostatné části: Text, Cvičení pro studenty a Příručku pro učitele. V Textu je uvedena teorie Kurzu a jsou holisticky a v harmonické posloupnosti vysvětleny jeho hlavní myšlenky. Cvičení pro studenty obsahuje 365 lekcí, jednu pro každý den v roce. Procvičováním začíná proces změny studentova myšlení a vnímání. Příručka pro učitele je psána formou otázek a odpovědí na mnohá důležitá a praktická témata Kurzu. Toto vydání rovněž obsahuje hodnotné dodatky ke Kurzu: Psychoterapie: účel, proces a praxe a krásnou inspirující Píseň modlitby.

Upright Thinkers
A few million years ago, our ancestors came down from the trees and began to stand upright, freeing our hands to create tools and our minds to grapple with the world around us. Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a passionate and inspiring tour through the exciting history of human progress and the key events in the development of science. In the process, he presents a fascinating new look at the unique characteristics of our species and our society that helped propel us from stone tools to written language and through the birth of chemistry, biology, and modern physics to today s technological world. Along the way he explores the cultural conditions that influenced scientific thought through the ages and the colorful personalities of some of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers: Galileo, who preferred painting and poetry to medicine and dropped out of university; Isaac Newton, who stuck needlelike bodkins into his eyes to better understand changes in light and color; and Antoine Lavoisier, who drank nothing but milk for two weeks to examine its effects on his body. Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and many lesser-known but equally brilliant minds also populate these pages, each of their stories showing how much of human achievement can be attributed to the stubborn pursuit of simple questions (why? how?), bravely asked. "The Upright Thinkers" is a book for science lovers and for anyone interested in creative thinking and in our ongoing quest to understand our world. At once deeply informed, accessible, and infused with the author s trademark wit, this insightful work is a stunning tribute to humanity s intellectual curiosity. (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.) "From the Hardcover edition.""

Thicker than water
In the fourth gripping book in the highly acclaimed series "Publishers Weekly" calls "every bit as good as the better-known Jim Butcher," old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Felix Names and faces he thought he'd left behind in Liverpool
resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he'd anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and new, and a council estate that was meant to be a modern utopia until it turned into something like hell--these are just some
of the sticks life uses to beat Felix Castor with as things go from bad to worse for London's favorite freelance exorcist. See, Castor's stepped over the line this time, and he knows he'll have to pay; how much is the only question. Not the best of
times, then, for an unwelcome confrontation with his holier-than-thou brother, Matthew, and just when he thinks things can't possibly get any worse, along comes Father Gwillam and the Anathemata. Oh joy.

Upright Thinkers
In this fascinating and illuminating work, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the critical eras and events in the development of science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics, chemistry, biology, and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see that much of our progress can be attributed to simple questions-why? how? - bravely asked. Mlodinow profiles some of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers who explored these questions - Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Einstein and Lavoisier among them - and makes clear that just as science has played a key role in shaping the patterns of human thought, human subjectivity has played a key role in the evolution of science. At once authoritative and accessible, and infused with the author's trademark wit, this deeply insightful book is a stunning tribute to humanity's intellectual curiosity.

Fifty Thinkers
For the reader who has lain awake fretting over his tenuous grasp of the Critiques of Immanuel Kant, or his unformed sense of the line of thought that descends from Hegel through Marx to 20th-century Soviet state socialism, or who struggles to call to mind the key strands in the thinking of Edmund Husserl, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan and Jacques Derrida - help is at hand. It comes in the comfortingly accessible form of Stephen Trombley's Fifty Thinkers Who Shaped the Modern World, a concise history of modern thought from the Enlightenment to the present day. Fifty Thinkers Who Shaped the Modern World opens with a substantial introduction that outlines the history of human ideas from the philosophers of classical Antiquity to the European eighteenth century, via the Christian scholastics of the Middle Ages and the development of Renaissance thought, culminating in the philosophy of Descartes and the development of scientific method. Having thus set the scene, Stephen Trombley traces the development of modern thought through a sequence of accessible profiles of the most influential thinkers in every domain of intellectual endeavour since 1789. No major representative of any significant strand of post-Enlightenment thought escapes Trombley's attention: the German idealists Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel; the utilitarians Bentham and Mill; the transcendentalists Emerson and Thoreau; Kierkegaard and the existentialists; founder sof new fields of inquiry such as Weber, Durkheim and C.S. Peirce; the analytic philosophers Russell, Moore, Whitehead and Wittgenstein; political leaders from Mohandas K. Gandhi to Adolf Hitler; and - last but not least - the four shapers-in-chief of our modern world: the philosopher, historian and political theorist Karl Marx; the naturalist Charles Darwin, proposer of the theory of evolution; Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis; and the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, begetter of the special and general theories of relativity and founder of post-Newtonian physics."
