Matrix
Born from a long line of female warriors and crusaders, yet too coarse for courtly life, Marie de France is cast from the royal court and sent to Angleterre to take up her new duty as the prioress of an impoverished abbey.
Lauren Groff's modern masterpiece is about the establishment of a female utopia.
The Etiology of Mental Disorders
The textbook consists of three sections. The first offers a general overview of factors important to the etiology of mental disorders, particularly the genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and microbiomatic elements. The next part examines over two dozen significant mental disorders and details specific factors in their etiology. Finally, suggestions are made for further research in and development of the field. While primarily intended for medical students studying in English, the textbook’s clear and straightforward presentation should make it useful to specialists in the fields of psychiatry and neuroscience, as well.

Počítač v meste
Aký prísľub nám dávajú rýchlo sa rozvíjajúce digitálne technológie pre zlepšenie nášho života? A neprerastú nám čoskoro cez hlavu? Slovenský IT špecialista Miroslav Pikus sa vo svojej eseji Počítač v meste pozrel na problematiku ich zavádzania do spoločnosti.
Vynálezy ako sú inteligentné pouličné lampy či odpadkové koše so senzormi majú nepochybne potenciál spraviť naše okolie bezpečnejším, krajším a efektívnejšie spravovaným. Počítačové a telekomunikačné firmy, ktoré ich sebavedomo ponúkajú, si však neuvedomujú, že vhupli do už veľmi rozvinutého umenia a zabehnutého poznania o ľudskom spolužití. S nasadením týchto technológií v zložitom prostredí miest a obcí totiž súvisia aj rôzne ťažkosti či riziká a ich fungovanie treba chápať v kontexte celej ľudskej spoločnosti. Na mieste je otázka, či skutočne vieme, čo robíme.
Rovnako netreba prehliadať jednoduché a bystré riešenia, ktoré nevyžadujú zložité technológie a máme ich poruke.
Múdre mesto nevytvorí sám magistrát. Ale ani korporácie, či aktivisti. Dokážu to len všetci spolu a budú im v tom musieť pomôcť tí najdôležitejší obyvatelia. Lebo čo je mesto, ak nie jeho ľudia?
Esej Miroslava Pikusa Počítač v meste vychádza v edícii Skica.

Láska môjho života
Držal som ťa v náručí každú noc desať rokov a ani som nepoznal tvoje meno. Máme spolu dieťa. Psa, dom. Kto si?
Emma ľúbi svojho manžela Lea a ich malú dcérku Ruby, urobila by pre nich čokoľvek. Ale takmer všetko, čo im o sebe povedala, je lož. Možno by jej to prešlo, nebyť manželovej práce. Leo je autor nekrológov, Emma známa morská biologička. Keď ju postihne vážna choroba, Leo sa s tým vyrovnáva tak, že robí to, čo vie najlepšie – pátra a píše o živote svojej manželky. Ako však postupne odhaľuje pravdu, zisťuje, že žena, ktorú ľúbi, v skutočnosti neexistuje. Dokonca ani jej meno nie je pravé. Leo tak po rokoch vzťahu odhalí najtemnejšie momenty manželkinej minulosti a Emma mu musí dokázať, že je naozaj tou ženou, za ktorú ju vždy považoval... Najprv mu však musí porozprávať o druhej láske svojho života.

Winterkeep
A new land has been discovered to the east. Winterkeep is a land of miracles, a democratic republic run by people who like each other, where people speak to telepathic sea creatures, adopt telepathic foxes as pets, and fly across the sky in ships attached to balloons. But when Bitterblue's envoys to Winterkeep drown under suspicious circumstances, she and Giddon and her half-sister, Hava, set off to discover the truth--putting both Bitterblue's life and Giddon's heart to the test when Bitterblue is kidnapped. Giddon believes she has drowned, leaving him and Hava to solve the mystery of what's wrong in Winterkeep.

She is the key to everything, but only if she can figure out what's going on before anyone else, and only if she's willing to transcend the person she's been all her life.

The River of Death: A Tale of London In Peril
Another in the "Doom of London" series, in which the author sounds a clarion call of potential disasters that may fall upon the great city. Here he relates a tale of environmental contamination leading to a medical panic.London in a year of severe drought; water level in the Thames river extremely low, blazing heat wave for 3 weeks in August; a Portuguese cargo ship sinks and contaminates a tributary of the Thames; 3 of the crew members are discovered to be dying of some disease; the local doctor is frightened by what he sees, calls the health authorities, who call for help from Professor Darbyshire, a scientist who deals with "fighting diseases in the bulk", someone we might call an environmental epidemiologist today; he investigates, then ... Darbyshire makes a hurried call asking his friend, Dr. Longdale, to come at once to his house where he has a small laboratory."Darbyshire produced a phial of cloudy fluid, some of which he proceeded to lay on the glass of a powerful microscope. Longdale fairly staggered back from the eyepiece. "Bubonic! The water reeks with the bacillus! I haven't seen it so strongly marked since we were in New Orleans together. Darbyshire, you don't mean to say that this sample came from—"Yes, the sample was water from the contaminated Thames, the river from which roughly 4/5 of the water comes to supply the needs of the 5 million Londoners. Longdale says the water system must be shut off."And deprive four-fifths of London with water altogether!" Darbyshire said grimly. "And London grilling like a furnace? No flushing of sewers, no watering of roads, not even a drop to drink. In two days London would be a reeking, seething hell — try and picture it, Longdale.""I have, often," Longdale said gloomily. "Sooner or later it had to come. Now is your chance, Darbyshire — that process of sterilisation of yours."Will he save London? Of course — he's the hero of the story. But how? Does London panic? How do the authorities respond?

A Condensed Course of Quantum Mechanics
This book represents a concise summary of non-relativistic quantum mechanics on the level suitable for university students of physics. It covers, perhaps even slightly exceeds, a one-year course of about 50 lectures, requiring basic knowledge of calculus, algebra, classical mechanics and a bit of motivation for the quantum adventure.
The exposition is succinct, with minimal narration, but with a maximum of explicit and hierarchically structured mathematical derivations. The text covers all essential topics of university courses of quantum mechanics – from general mathematical formalism to specific applications. The formulation of quantum theory is accompanied by illustrations of the general concepts of elementary quantum systems. Some subtleties of mathematical foundations are overviewed, but the formalism is used in an accessible, intuitive way. Besides the traditional topics of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, such as single-particle dynamics, symmetries, semiclassical and perturbative approximations, density-matrix formalism, scattering theory, theory of angular momentum, description of many-particle systems – the course also touches upon some modern issues, including quantum entanglement, decoherence, measurement, nonlocality, and quantum information. Historical context and chronology of basic achievements is outlined in brief remarks. The book is intended for beginners as a supplement to lectures, however, it may also be used by more advanced students as a compact and comprehensible overview of elementary quantum theory.
