The Dawn of Language
Who was "the first speaker" and what was their first message?
An erudite, tightly woven and beautifully written account of one of humanity's greatest mysteries - the origins of language.
Drawing on evidence from many fields, including archaeology, anthropology, neurology and linguistics, Sverker Johansson weaves these disparate threads together to show how our human ancestors evolved into language users. The Dawn of Language provides a fascinating survey of how grammar came into being and the differences or similarities between languages spoken around the world, before exploring how language eventually emerged in the very remote human past.
Our intellectual and physiological changes through the process of evolution both have a bearing on our ability to acquire language. But to what extent is the evolution of language dependent on genes, or on environment? How has language evolved further, and how is it changing now, in the process of globalisation? And which aspects of language ensure that robots are not yet intelligent enough to reconstruct how language has evolved?
Johansson's far-reaching, authoritative and research-based approach to language is brought to life through dozens of astonishing examples, both human and animal, in a fascinatingly erudite and entertaining volume for anyone who has ever contemplated not just why we speak the way we do, but why we speak at all.

Havraní kruhy 2 - Plíseň
Představte si, že jste lovnou zvěří v neznámém světě. Ve světě lidí, který pomalu umírá. Ve světě, odkud pocházíte a kde jste doufali, že konečně naleznete domov. Jenže to jste se pořádně spletli. Hirka opustila Ymslandu, aby ji zachránila, a obětovala tak možnost být nablízku Rimemu, přestože právě po tom touží ze všeho nejvíc. Teď ji místo něj provázejí lovec nemrtvých a slepý. Boj o přežití není ovšem ničím ve srovnání s tím, co přijde, když Hirka pochopí, kým ve skutečnosti je a jakým nástrojem v mocenské hře se má stát. Původce plísně touží po tisíci letech konečně dosáhnout svobody. Svobody, kterou mu může dát jen Hirka.
The Sum of Us
What would make a society drain its public swimming baths and fill them with concrete rather than opening them to everyone? Economics researcher Heather McGhee sets out across America to learn why white voters so often act against their own interests. Why do they block changes that would help them, and even destroy their own advantages, whenever people of colour also stand to benefit?
Their tragedy is that they believe they can't win unless somebody else loses. But this is a lie. McGhee marshals overwhelming economic evidence, and a profound well of empathy, to reveal the surprising truth: even racists lose out under white supremacy.
And US racism is everybody's problem. As McGhee shows, it was bigoted lending policies that laid the ground for the 2008 financial crisis. There can be little prospect of tackling global climate change until America's zero-sum delusions are defeated. The Sum of Us offers a priceless insight into the workings of prejudice, and a timely invitation to solidarity among all humans, 'to piece together a new story of who we could be to one another'.

The Last Quarter of the Moon
'A long-time confidante of the rain and snow, I am ninety years old. The rain and snow have weathered me, and I too have weathered them'
At the end of the twentieth century an old woman sits among the birch trees and reflects on the joys and tragedies that have befallen her people. A member of the Evenki tribe who wander the forests of north-eastern China, hers was a life lived in close sympathy with nature at its most beautiful and cruel.
Then, in the 1930s, the intimate, secluded world of the tribe is shattered when the Japanese army invades China. The Evenki cannot avoid being pulled into the brutal conflict that marks the beginning of the end of life as they know it.
'An atmospheric modern folk-tale, the saga of the Evenki clan of Inner Mongolia - nomadic reindeer herders whose traditional life alongside the Argun river endured unchanged for centuries... This is a fitting tribute to the Evenki by a writer of rare talent' Financial Times

Tűzön-vízen át
Nemere István történelmi regénytrilógiájának harmadik kötete az 1390-es években játszódik. Hősünk itt már mint gróf Zádorffy Zádor jelenik meg, de éppen mert új rangot és birtokot kapott, még több kaland vár rá. Először a királytól kapott nemesi birtokát kell bitorlóktól visszafoglalnia "tűzön és vízen át". Az olvasók tanúi lesznek annak, hogyan lakolnak bűneikért Hédervári Kont és Horváti János, a lázadók. Ott lehetnek Zádor lakodalmán, ahol az inkognitóban mulató Zsigmondra merénylők támadnak. Merényekben akkortájt nem volt hiány; hamarosan kis híján végeznek az ifjú, már viselős Mária királynéval is. Zsigmond Zádorra bízza felesége életét, és elindul egy hadjáratba; a gróf pedig mint testőr is helytáll. Egészen addig, míg fortéllyal eltávolítják Mária mellől, és akkor támadnak a királynéra; az asszony és magzata is halálát leli. Innentől kezdve Zádor életének célja a tettesek felkutatása és megbűntetése lesz. Zsigmond csöndes bosszút akar, ne tudják meg a magyar urak, hogy valakik kezet emeltek a királyi családra. A király és a gróf közös akarata nem sok jót jósol az ellenfeleknek. Bizony habozás nélkül leszámolnak azokkal a nemesekkel, akik megszervezték a Mária elleni merényletet. Zádor halad a nyomokon, és végez azokkal, akik belekeveredtek az ügybe. De az urat, kinek végtére is kezéhez Mária vére tapad, sokáig hiába keresi. Ám amint a nyomára bukkan, többé nincs kegyelem. Ha az olvaső megkedvelte Zádort és a trilógia többi hősét, és szeretné követni az uralkodó, valamint hűséges embere további kalandjait, ne aggódjon: a Zsigmond-trilógia ugyan véget ért, de hamarosan jönnek a Zádor-trilógia kötetei, amelyekben a korabeli magyar életről és hazánk történelmi eseményeiről egyaránt olvashat.

The Wisdom of Crowds
Concluding the AGE OF MADNESS trilogy, THE WISDOM OF CROWDS brings the series which is revolutionising fantasy to its stunning conclusion. . .
Chaos. Fury. Destruction.
The Great Change is upon us . . .
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies . . . while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together . . .
Lacná kniha Walton Ford trade ed ju (-50%)
At first glance, Walton Ford’s large-scale, highly-detailed watercolors of animals may recall the prints of 19th century illustrators John James Audubon and Edward Lear, and others of the colonial era. But a closer look reveals a complex and disturbingly anthropomorphic universe, full of symbols, sly jokes, and allusions to the 'operatic' nature of traditional natural history themes. The beasts and birds populating this contemporary artist's life-size paintings are never mere objects, but dynamic actors in allegorical struggles: a wild turkey crushes a small parrot in its claw; a troupe of monkeys wreak havoc on a formal dinner table, an American buffalo is surrounded by bloodied white wolves. The book's title derives from The Pancha Tantra, an ancient Indian book of animal tales considered the precursor to Aesop’s Fables.
This large-format edition includes an in-depth exploration of Walton Ford’s oeuvre, a complete biography, and excerpts from his textual inspirations: Vietnamese folktales and the letters of Benjamin Franklin, the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini and Audubon’s Ornithological Biography.
