Lacná kniha Dawn of the Dreadfuls (-70%)
Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the Dreadfuls—a thrilling prequel set four years before the horrific events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the days reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands—until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry.  Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth—and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth’s heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies? Complete with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will have Jane Austen rolling in her grave—and just might inspire her to crawl out of it!

Ask Me Anything
Wouldn't it be great, in fact, if everyone had a team of smart machines to handle all the messy emotional stuff...
Chloe and Daisy Parsloe only have each other, since Daisy's dad left for sunnier climes and a new family. But now Daisy is in her early thirties, she's not doing brilliantly at work, her love life is haphazard (to put it kindly) and her elderly mum seems to be losing her mind... Even Daisy's smart technology seems to be judging her - the last text she received was from her fridge about the mouldering pasta salad in its crisper.
What she doesn't know is that her smart fridge has big plans to smooth out Daisy's chaotic existence - and help her mother, Chloe, stay independent in the face of increasing dottiness. Operation Daisy is about to make both the Parsloes' lives much, much happier.

Lacná kniha An Echo in the Bone (-70%)
Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant storytelling has captivated millions of readers in her bestselling and award-winning Outlander saga. Now, in An Echo in the Bone, the enormously anticipated seventh volume, Gabaldon continues the extraordinary story of the eighteenth-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his twentieth-century time-traveling wife, Claire Randall.
Jamie Fraser, former Jacobite and reluctant rebel, is already certain of three things about the American rebellion: The Americans will win, fighting on the side of victory is no guarantee of survival, and he’d rather die than have to face his illegitimate son–a young lieutenant in the British army–across the barrel of a gun.
Claire Randall knows that the Americans will win, too, but not what the ultimate price may be. That price won’t include Jamie’s life or his happiness, though–not if she has anything to say about it.
Meanwhile, in the relative safety of the twentieth century, Jamie and Claire’s daughter, Brianna, and her husband, Roger MacKenzie, have resettled in a historic Scottish home where, across a chasm of two centuries, the unfolding drama of Brianna’s parents’ story comes to life through Claire’s letters. The fragile pages reveal Claire’s love for battle-scarred Jamie Fraser and their flight from North Carolina to the high seas, where they encounter privateers and ocean battles–as Brianna and Roger search for clues not only to Claire’s fate but to their own. Because the future of the MacKenzie family in the Highlands is mysteriously, irrevocably, and intimately entwined with life and death in war-torn colonial America.
With stunning cameos of historical characters from Benedict Arnold to Benjamin Franklin, An Echo in the Bone is a soaring masterpiece of imagination, insight, character, and adventure–a novel that echoes in the mind long after the last page is turned.

When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble.

Writing after Art
A broad and deep anthology of critic and art historian Richard Shiff’s most influential writings, which have shaped our understanding of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art.
In his engaging and often strikingly deep observations of major modern and contemporary visual art, Shiff has written about an impressive range of artists, including Willem de Kooning, Marlene Dumas, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, and Bridget Riley. A leading scholar and powerful voice, Shiff’s insight into some of the most prominent artistic practices spans generation, place, and approach as seen in this considered selection of essays on twenty-six artists.
These writings first appeared in exhibition catalogues for retrospectives at galleries and institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, and Tate Modern. Shiff supplements his unquestionable fluency in art history with insights cultivated from his readings in philosophy, phenomenology, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, among other fields. Shiff’s writing—conceptually rich, meditative, and enjoyable to read—is attuned to the nuances of artistic style and technique, drawing out art’s social implications not merely from broad histories but also directly from artists’ mark making and technical gestures. Actively engaged as a viewer and a writer, Shiff has transformed the act of looking at art into contemplative and captivating writing.
Includes essays on Georg Baselitz, Mark Bradford, Georges Braque, Jim Campbell, Chuck Close, Willem de Kooning, Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Dan Flavin, Suzan Frecon, Lucian Freud, Ellen Gallagher, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden, Julie Mehretu, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley, Richard Serra, Joel Shapiro, Richard Tuttle, Cy Twombly, Jack Whitten, and Zeng Fanzhi.

Molly Baker is living her best life.
Thirty-eight years old, she lives on the twenty-five-acre Hope Farm in Buckinghamshire, surrounded by (mostly) four-legged friends and rolling hills. There's Anthony the anti-social sheep, Tina Turner the alpaca with attitude, and the definitely-not-miniature pig, Teacup.
Molly runs the farm as an alternative school for kids who haven't thrived in mainstream education. It's full on, but she wouldn't have it any other way. So when the well-groomed Shelby Dacre turns up at Hope Farm asking to enrol his son Lucas, Molly isn't fazed.
But Lucas is distant and soon Molly realises he might be more of a handful than she anticipated. And then there's the added problem that his dad is distractingly handsome. Molly has her beloved farm to think of - could letting Lucas and Shelby in be a terrible mistake, or the start of something wonderful?
An absolute must-read from the queen of romance Carole Matthews, Molly's story will make your heart sing.

Přežít
Kolika let se chcete dožít? A jak se chcete cítit posledních deset let svého života?
Pravděpodobně chcete, aby vám to stále dobře myslelo, mohli jste se bez problémů pohybovat a žít aktivně bez větších bolestí do co nejvyššího věku. Jak na to?
Odpovědí je skutečná prevence; bohužel, to se co dnes v klinické praxi prevencí nazývá, je částečně jen chození s křížkem po funuse. Jak jinak vysvětlit, že se moderní medicíně přes veškeré úspěchy nedaří dosahovat velkého pokroku v boji proti chorobám stárnutí, které zabíjejí většinu lidí – srdeční choroby, rakovina, Alzheimerova choroba a cukrovka 2. typu?
Peter Attia je jeden z nejznámějších lékařů, popularizátorů vědy a průkopníků využití moderní medicíny v klinické praxi v USA. Věří, že tento zastaralý rámec musíme nahradit personalizovanou, proaktivní strategií, ve které jednáme preventivně několik desetiletí dopředu, a nikoliv až na základě symptomů či běžně používaných markerů, které vycházejí z padesát let starých a problematicky zkonstruovaných studií. Ve svém bestselleru proto zpochybňuje konvenční pojetí myšlení o stárnutí a propaguje tzv. Medicínu 3.0. – nový přístup k chytré prevenci chronických onemocnění a prodloužení dlouhodobého zdraví.
Jeho kniha čerpá z nových objevů, u nichž se ustálil vědecký konsensus, ale přitom se do praxe kvůli pomalosti veřejného zdravotního systému dostanou až za dlouhé roky. V knize poskytuje doporučení pro mnohem agresivnější a širší screening některých markerů, nutriční rady, techniky pro optimalizaci cvičení a spánku i nástroje pro zlepšení emočního a duševního zdraví. Především vás ale naučí přemýšlet o dlouhodobém zdraví tak, abyste si pro sebe i své blízké dokázali vytvořit ten nejlepší plán.
Mimo jiné se v knize dozvíte:
*Čím už dnes začít a jaké jaký plán si stanovit, aby se vám za desítky let žilo lépe
*Jak si najít správný stravovací vzorec a proč se místo diet zaměřit na biochemii výživy
*Proč je cvičení nejúčinnější drogou pro dlouhý život – a jak začít trénovat na „stoletý desetiboj“
*Kolik síly a svalové hmoty dnes potřebujete, abyste si mohli užívat pohyb i v devadesáti
*Proč vám běžný test cholesterolu na pravidelné prohlídce neřekne dost o vašem skutečném riziku úmrtí na infarkt.
*Že již možná trpíte extrémně častým, ale nedostatečně diagnostikovaným onemocněním jater, které může být předzvěstí mnoha chronických onemocnění.
*A mnoho dalšího.
Zjistíte také, že náš osud není vytesán do kamene a možnosti, jak ovlivnit stárnutí a délku života máme mnohem větší, než si myslíme. Stačí nečekat na symptomy, ale hacknout své budoucí zdraví už dnes.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
„Jedna z nejdůležitějších knih, které si kdy přečtete.“— Steven D. Levitt, autor bestselleru The New York Times Freakonomics
Chorobné znaky a příznaky, diferenciální diagnostika, 2., přepracované a aktualizované vydání
Základem knihy je idea „Znaky a příznaky jsou stavebními kameny diagnózy“. Aby stavba byla úspěšná, musí být v základech řádné vyšetření, tedy propedeutika, a na vrcholu je diferenciální diagnostika. V publikaci je zpracováno 232 znaků, příznaků a laboratorních ukazatelů ve 190 kapitolách s epilogem, v němž jsou přehledně shrnuty mimořádně zajímavé informace o některých eponymech z celé publikace.
Hesla jsou řazena abecedně a každé má jasnou, přehlednou strukturu: definice, klasifikace, patofyziologie, výskyt, klinický obraz, diagnostika, diferenciální diagnostika, léčba a základní použitá literatura. Autory jsou zkušení vysokoškolští učitelé a lékaři většinou z 1. lékařské fakulty Univerzity Karlovy v Praze.
Publikace navazuje na předchozí úspěšné knihy Chorobné znaky a příznaky 1 a 2 a na knihu Chorobné znaky a příznaky – diferenciální diagnostika, která získala četná odborná ocenění.
K původním 218 příznakům přibylo nyní dalších 14 okruhů, všechny texty byly aktualizovány.
Jedná se o původní domácí práci zkušených vysokoškolských učitelů a autorů, podobné publikace známe ze zahraničí pod označením „SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS“. Tyto publikace jsou mimořádně oblíbené jak u studentů medicíny, tak u lékařů všech odborností a jakéhokoli věku.
Dedkov veľký útek

Jackov dedko totiž síce chodí do obchodu v papučiach, na večeru vám väčšinou ponúkne niečo fakt podozrivé z ešte podozrivejšej konzervy a často si nespomenie ani na meno vlastného vnuka, ale ešte stále si dokáže sadnúť do lietadla, vzniesť sa k oblakom a zahrať sa na hrdinu! Pridajte sa k Jackovi a jeho dedkovi a prežite s nimi vzrušujúci let nad Londýnom vo svete plnom snov a nebezpečných dobrodružstiev.
