Lacná kniha The Elves of Cintra (-70%)
Fifty years from now, our world looks very different. Governments have fallen. Thousands live in fortified strongholds; others roam the landscape as either predator or prey. Standing against the forces that have tipped the balance from good to evil are a very few heroes, men and women imbued with powerful magic and sworn to a high destiny. Logan Tom is one of those heroes. He's on a desperate quest to deliver the street kids he rescued in Seattle to safety. So, too, is Angel Perez, who is leading a second group in the Oregon wilderness where she encounters the long-hidden Elves of Cintra. And Hawk - just learning his magic - has an encounter with the mystical King of the Silver River, who promises safety for both humans and elves - if only they can reach him...

Lacná kniha Actor's audition speeches (-90%)
Finding good, interesting audition pieces is a demanding and difficult process for actors. Jean Marlow has brought together 50 selections, the majority of which have never appeared in an audition book before. The pieces, which include modern and classical, have been selected because most of them require or can be performed in a particular accent. Examples of the range of parts included are American, Asian, Jamaican, Irish, South African, Italian, Scottish, Welsh, Newcastle and Yorkshire, covering all ages. Actors can find a speech to suit their particular voice or can show their range by selecting a speech with a contrasting accent. There is an introductory section showing how to prepare and give your best performance at an audition. In addition there are comments from directors giving their advice on how to audition successfully.

To the End of the World : Travels with Oscar Wilde
n his highly anticipated third memoir, Rupert Everett tells the story of how he set out to make a film of Oscar Wilde's last days, and how that ten-year quest almost destroyed him. (And everyone else.)
Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In '90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in '70s London, a 'weirdly tall, beyond size zero' teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the 'snakes and ladders' of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.

Sensational
Why do women have a better sense of smell than men?
Has the iPhone changed how we touch?
Does the Danube really look blue when you're in love?
Our senses are at the heart of how we navigate the world. They help us recognise the expressions on a loved one's face, know whether fruit is ripe by its smell, or even sense a storm approaching through a sudden drop in air pressure. It's now believed that we may have as many as fifty-three senses - and we're just beginning to expand our knowledge of this incredibly extensive palette.
In Sensational, Ashley Ward embarks on an expedition through the ways we experience the world, marshalling the latest advancements in science to explore the dazzling eyesight of the mantis shrimp, the rich inner lives of krill and the baffling link between canine bowel movements and geomagnetic fields. Unlocking the incredible power of our senses may hold the key to mysteries like why we kiss, how our brain dictates our taste in music and how a dairy-rich diet strained Euro-Japanese relations.
Blending biology and cutting-edge neuroscience, Sensational is a mind-bending look at how our brains shape the way we interpret the world.

The History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Pictures
Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953–1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands – Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.

Naveky tvoja
Kráľovná historickej romance Jana Pronská má na svojom konte už dvadsaťtri kníh a dlhé roky patrí k najobľúbenejším slovenským autorkám. Námet pre svoj najnovší román s názvom Naveky tvoja opäť čerpala z našich dejín, no tentoraz nás zavedie i na neapolský kráľovský dvor, miesto zrodu podmaňujúceho príbehu lásky dvornej dámy Hermíny a rytiera Matiasa.
Dvorná dáma kráľovnej Jany Neapolskej Hermína de Brie-Comte sa počas veľkolepého rytierskeho turnaja zahľadí do uhorského rytiera Matiasa z Borše, ktorý jej záujem opätuje. Netrvá dlho a vzájomná náklonnosť medzi dvoma mladými ľuďmi prerastie v lásku. Ani jeden z nich však netuší, že ich nečaká šťastný koniec. Kráľovná Jana má totiž s Hermínou vlastné plány, ktoré pramenia v minulosti, a je pevne rozhodnutá urobiť čokoľvek, aby ich naplnila. Kvôli pomste neváha Hermíne a Matiasovi zničiť život a nik netuší, ako ďaleko je schopná zájsť.
Zlovôľa a intrigy kráľovnej zmaria aj tú najmenšiu nádej, že sa zaľúbenci dočkajú spoločného šťastia. Hermína sa musí vydať za iného a Matiasovi jej domnelá zrada zlomí srdce. Akoby toho nebolo málo, ženíchom je jeho nič netušiaci priateľ Róbert Druget, ktorý sa má stať novým vyslancom na neapolskom kráľovskom dvore…
Nájdu si dve milujúce srdcia k sebe znovu cestu i napriek tomu, že nad nimi visí hrozba horšia než smrť? Aké príkoria budú musieť zniesť, aby prekonali intrigy, obvinenia i vlastné pochybnosti a nedôveru? Je ich láska dosť mocná, aby zdolala všetky prekážky?

souostroví /postižení /veřejnosti
Souostrovím postižení nazýváme systém ústavů pro lidi označené za postižené, jejichž obyvateli jsou v České republice tisíce lidí. Náš etnografický výzkum potvrzuje, že ústavy jsou izolovaná, obtížně dostupná místa, protkaná těžko překročitelnými hranicemi oddělujícími obyvatele od zaměstnanců, obyčejný život od oficiálních strategií péče a údržby a lidi označené za postižené od nás ostatních, kteří za postižené označení nejsme. Souostroví postižení však není jen regionem vyloučení a vytěžování. Je zároveň prostorem problematizace, kde se shromažďují veřejnosti tvořené lidmi, kteří jsou působením ústavních režimů zasaženi. Tyto veřejnosti staví na poznání, že postižení, které člověka odsuzuje k životu v ústavech, není jedinou reálně uskutečnitelnou verzí postižení. Vedle etnografického popisu světa ústavů a empiricko-teoretického hledání odpovědi na otázku, jaká socio-materiální uspořádání a zájmy ho udržují při životě, tato kniha nabízí i naději na změnu: pragmaticky založenou vizi postižené veřejnosti coby proměnlivého otevřeného společenství, v němž je vyloučení nahrazeno sdílenou zasažeností a osvědčené způsoby zacházení s postižením kreativní nevědomostí.
Michal Synek je religionista a sociolog. Zkoumá vztahy mezi různými repertoáry pečování a způsoby uspořádávání postižení. Působí jako výzkumník na Fakultě humanitních studií UK. Zajímá se o teoretické problémy s praktickým dopadem na pomezí vědních studií a studií postižení a péče. Dana Hradcová vyučuje na Fakultě humanitních studií, studuje život s dis/abilitou a zabývá se empirickou etikou a etnografickým a kolaborativním výzkumem v prostředí sociálních a zdravotních služeb. Věnuje se podpoře uživatelů služeb a spolupracuje s ne/profesionálními pečujícími.
anotace en:
The Disability Archipelago is our name for the system of institutions intended for people deemed disabled, and its inhabitants count thousands of people. Our ethnographic research confirms that the institutions are isolated, difficult-to-reach places demarcated by rigid boundaries separating the inhabitants from the employees, regular life from official care strategies and maintenance, and people deemed disabled from the rest of us who have not been labeled as such. The Disability Archipelago is however not only a region of exclusion and extraction. It is also a space for problematization where congregate various publics composed of people who are impacted by the institutional regimes’ operations. These publics build on the understanding that the disability which condemns a person to life in the institutions is not the only possible version of disability. Apart from offering an ethnographic description of the world of institutions and an empirical-theoretical search for answers to the question of what socio-material conditions and interests allow its operations, this book also offers hope for change: a pragmatically founded vision of a disabled society as an open, changing community in which exclusion is replaced by a sense of shared affliction, and the tried and tested approaches of dealing with disability are replaced by an approach of creative unknowing.
Michal Synek is a sociologist and religions scholar. He studies the relationships between various repertoires of caretaking and ways of ordering disability. He is active as a researcher at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University and is interested in theoretical problems which bear practical impact on scientific study and the research of disability and care.
Dana Hradcová teaches at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University, studying life with dis/ability, empirical ethics, and ethnographic and collaborative research in the sphere of social and health services. She focuses on the support of service users and collaborates with (non)professional caretakers.
