Lacná kniha Když to tam není, tak to tam nehledej (-90%)
Anna - nosí kabát po babičce, spí ve spacáku ve sklepním bytě, jehož výhled z okna nenabízí víc než kotníky kolemjdoucích a psí zadky. V kufru má svetry proti listopadovému chladu, dopisní papír a srolovaný příbor v utěrce, jako když byla malá a jezdila s rodiči stanovat. Z rodné vesnice do hlavního města přijela proto, aby zjistila, jestli pořád ještě utíká od minulosti, nebo si už plní své vlastní sny.
Koupí si mapu Prahy, vydá se poznat hlavní město a najít si práci. Do cesty se jí postaví Bořek, Naďa a Vlasta, ale stojí v ní také někdo z její minulosti, u koho není jasné, jestli půjde s ní, vedle ní, nebo z cesty úplně sejde. Zásadní vliv na směr jejího života má ale neznámá dáma z tramvaje, která, aniž by měla sebemenší tušení, navždy ovlivní její život.
Krátké kapitoly rychle posouvají děj, jsou plné obyčejných příběhů s neobyčejnou dávkou sebeironie a humoru. Kniha Když to tam není, tak to tam nehledej je volným pokračováním autorčiny prvotiny Suchý hadr na dně mořském, kterou pozitivně hodnotili nejen čtenáři, ale ocenila ji také kritika.

The World Set Free
THE WORLD SET FREE was written in 1913 and published early in 1914, and it is the latest of a series of three fantasias of possibility, stories which all turn on the possible developments in the future of some contemporary force or group of forces. The World Set Free was written under the immediate shadow of the Great War. Every intelligent person in the world felt that disaster was impending and knew no way of averting it, but few of us realised in the earlier half of 1914 how near the crash was to us. The reader will be amused to find that here it is put off until the year 1956.Noteworthy for its depiction of fictional ''atomic bombs'' which eerily prefigure the development of real nuclear weapons.

The Road to Conscious Machines
'A terrific book - essential reading for everyone seeking to make sense of Artificial Intelligence' Professor Sir Adrian Smith, Director and Chief Executive of the Alan Turing Institute
In this myth-busting guide to AI past and present, one of the world's leading researchers shows why our fears for the future are misplaced.
The ultimate dream of AI is to build machines that are like us: conscious and self-aware. While this remains a remote possibility, rapid progress in AI is already transforming our world. Yet the public debate is still largely centred on unlikely prospects, from sentient machines to dystopian robot takeovers.
In this lively and clear-headed guide, Michael Wooldridge challenges the prevailing narrative, revealing how the hype distracts us from both the more immediate risks that this technology poses - from algorithmic bias to fake news - and the true life-changing potential of the field. The Road to Conscious Machines elucidates the discoveries of AI's greatest pioneers from Alan Turing to Demis Hassabis, and what today's researchers actually think and do.
'Nobody understands the past, the present, the promise and the peril of this new technology better than Michael Wooldridge. The definitive account' Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist
'Effortlessly readable. The perfect guide to the history and future of AI' Tom Chivers, author of The AI Does Not Hate You

Eight Strokes of the Clock
These adventures were told to me in the old days by Arsene Lupin, as though they had happened to a friend of his, named Prince Rénine. As for me, considering the way in which they were conducted, the actions, the behaviour and the very character of the hero, I find it very difficult not to identify the two friends as one and the same person. Arsene Lupin is gifted with a powerful imagination and is quite capable of attributing to himself adventures which are not his at all and of disowning those which are really his. The reader will judge for himself.

The Truths We Hold: An American Journey
From one of America's most inspiring political leaders, a book about the core truths that unite us, and the shared values that will see us into the future.
Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, Senator Kamala Harris is committed to speaking the truth. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in a community that cared deeply about social justice and, growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for doing what is right.
Throughout her career, from starting out as a prosecutor right up to her position as California's Attorney General, and now as a US Senator, her hallmarks have been applying a holistic, data-driven approach to the thorniest issues, whether it's taking on the big banks or rejecting stale 'tough on crime' rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices.
Neither 'tough' nor 'soft' but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might.
Through the arc of her own life, Harris communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values and grapples with complex issues that affect America and the world at large, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality.
By reckoning with the big challenges we face together, drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, Kamala Harris offers in The Truths We Holda master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times.

Elvis Aaron Presley (8. januára 1935 – 16. augusta 1977), často označovaný iba ako "Elvis", bol americký spevák a herec. Známy ako „kráľ rock and rollu“ je považovaný za jednu z najvýznamnejších kultúrnych osobností 20. storočia. Presleyho energická interpretácia piesní a sexuálne provokatívny štýl vystúpenia v kombinácii s mimoriadne silnou zmesou vplyvov naprieč farebnými líniami počas transformačnej éry v rasových vzťahoch ho priviedli k veľkému úspechu a počiatočnej kontroverzii.

V roku 2018 bol Presley posmrtne ocenený Prezidentskou medailou slobody.
Elvis Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas je pätnásty štúdiový album, vydaný v októbri 1971. Bol to jeho prvý vianočný album s novými nahrávkami od Elvisovho vianočného albumu. Singel albumu „Merry Christmas Baby“ / „O Come All Ye Faithful“ bol vydaný neskôr v novembri 1971.

How to Get on With Your Colleagues
An essential guide to navigating the complexities of professional relationships.
Our colleagues can be the sources of our greatest joys and triumphs: they compensate for our weaknesses, enlarge our strengths and aggregate our energies. However, working successfully around others is neither intuitive nor simple: it requires us to communicate effectively, to understand our own minds and blind spots, to master our emotions and to see the world through others' perspectives.
This book compresses our learning into a series of lessons on workplace psychology. The result is nothing less than an essential guide to more profitable, harmonious and happier organisations.

The Comedy of Errors
The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-incestuous seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession.
