Moby - Always Centered At Night (Yellow) 2LP
Richard Melville Hall (Moby) sa narodil v New Yorku a vyrastal v Connecticute, kde začal robiť hudbu vo veku 9 rokov, hral na klasickej gitare a študoval hudobnú teóriu. V 14 rokoch začal hrať v hardcore punkovej kapele 'The Vatican Commandoes'. Neskôr sa pripojil k post-punkovej kapele 'Awol' počas štúdia filozofie na University of Connecticut. Svoju DJingovú činnosť začal už počas vysokoškolských rokov, potom pokračoval v osemdesiatych rokoch v New Yorku na house a hip-hopovej scéne, kde pôsobil v kluboch ako MARS, Red Zone, mk a The Palladium. Svoj prvý singel Go vydal v roku 1991 (zaradený Rolling Stones ako jednu z najlepších nahrávok všetkých čias) a odvtedy produkuje albumy. Z jeho nahrávok sa celosvetovo predalo viac ako 20 000 000 kópií, no produkoval a remixoval aj nahrávky iných umelcov, akými sú David Bowie, Metallica, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy.
Na svojom novom albume Always Centered At Night Moby opäť vykúzlil do reality zbierku neuveriteľne krásnych, nežných, no napriek tomu vyzývavých piesní, ktoré vznikli v spolupráci s jedinečne talentovanými, oduševnene vedomými spevákmi z iného sveta. Všetky piesne sú milostné listy neobmedzenej a očarujúcej hudobnej scéne z konca 70. rokov, zo začiatku 80. rokov v New Yorku, ktoré formovali Mobyho ako hudobníka. Vybraní speváci dostali rovnaké zadanie: „Prosím, nepíšte nič komerčné. Nech je to divné. Nech je to osobné. Nemusí to dávať zmysel."

Inequality and the 1%
Fully updated new edition: Why we cannot afford the rich in post Brexit Britain
Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, the 1% has only grown richer while the rest find life increasingly tough. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has turned into a chasm. While the rich have found new ways of protecting their wealth, everyone else has suffered the penalties of austerity.
But inequality is more than just economics. Being born outside the 1% has a dramatic impact on a person's potential: reducing life expectancy, limiting educational and work prospects, and even affecting mental health.
What is to be done? In Inequality and the 1% leading social thinker Danny Dorling lays bare the extent and true cost of the division in our society and asks what have the super-rich ever done for us? He shows that it is the 1% that threatens us with the most harm and why we must urgently redress the balance
Soundtrack (Brian Eno) - Eno (Limited Edition) 2LP
Oficiálny soundtrack k dokumentu „Eno“ Garyho Hustwita z roku 2024 – definitívny dokument o vizionárskom hudobníkovi a umelcovi Brianovi Enovi a prelomový generatívny film, ktorý je vždy iný, keď sa premieta. Oficiálny soundtrack obsahuje 17 skladieb z celej Enoovej plodnej nahrávacej kariéry vrátane 3 doteraz nevydaných nahrávok.
Za posledných 50 rokov bol Brian Eno v popredí hudobnej kreativity, technológie a umeleckých inovácií. Obrovský vplyvný britský hudobník, producent, aktivista, vizuálny umelec a „Sonic Landscaper“ s vlastným menom začal svoju kariéru ako pôvodný člen legendárnej skupiny Roxy Music na začiatku sedemdesiatych rokov. Z kapely odišiel, aby vydal sériu sólových nahrávok a neskôr sa stal priekopníkom žánru ambientnej hudby s albumom Ambient 1: Music For Airports z roku 1978. Brian Eno ako producent pomohol definovať a znovu objaviť zvuk niektorých z najdôležitejších umelcov v hudbe, vrátane Davida Bowieho, U2, Talking Heads, Coldplay a desiatok ďalších. Zložil aj to, čo môže byť najpočúvanejšou skladbou hudby na svete: Zvuk pri spustení pre Microsoft Windows. Eno nepochybne zmenil spôsob, akým sa robí moderná hudba.

Tranzitivní ekonomiky
O výjimečnosti této knihy se dá hovořit ve více rovinách. Tou první je fakt, že analyzuje ekonomickou transformaci v dřívějších komunistických zemích východní a střední Evropy a v zemích bývalého Sovětského svazu od skončení centrálního plánovaní až po rozmanité výsledné varianty kapitalistického uspořádání v současnosti. Další rovinou je specifičnost a originalita přístupu vycházejícího důsledně z ekonomické teorie politické ekonomie ústící ve vlastní, samostatný přístup dokumentovaný v textu využitím bohatých statistických materiálů a aktivní prací s tabulkami i obrázky. Třetí rovinou je skutečnost, že oba autoři pozorovali a pozorují popisované procesy zvenčí – Martin Myant je profesorem na University of the West of Scotland ve Velké Británii a Jan Drahokoupil je vedoucím výzkumných projektů v Mannheim Centre for European Social Research na University of Mannheim.
The Kiss Curse
Magic doesn't always play by the rules.
Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She's formed a powerful new coven with her family; she's running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she's mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there's only one problem - Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow.
Wells has come to Graves Glen for two reasons: to re-establish his family's connection to the town and to make a new life for himself away from his father. But when he opens a magic shop of his own just across the street from Gwyn's, he quickly learns that going up against her won't be as easy as he thought . . . especially after an accidentally magic-inspired - and very hot - kiss.
While Gwyn and Wells are fully committed to their witchy rivalry, they soon find themselves thrown together once again to deal with the sudden appearance of a mysterious new coven and Gwyn's growing concern that something - or someone - is messing with her magic . . .
Gallant
The Number 1 Sunday Times-bestselling novel, from the author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and A Darker Shade of Magic.
A darkly magical and thrilling tale of a young woman caught between the world and its shadows, who must embrace her legacy to stop the approaching darkness. The Secret Garden meets Crimson Peak, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black and Susan Cooper.
Fourteen-year-old Olivia Prior is missing three things: a mother, a father, and a voice. Her mother vanished all at once, and her father by degrees, and her voice was a thing she never had to start with. She grew up at Merilance School for Girls. Now, nearing the end of her time there, Olivia receives a letter from an uncle she's never met, her father's older brother, summoning her to his estate, a place called Gallant. But when she arrives, she discovers that the letter she received was several years old. Her uncle is dead. The estate is empty, save for the servants. Olivia is permitted to remain, but must follow two rules: don't go out after dusk, and always stay on the right side of a wall that runs along the estate's western edge. Beyond it is another realm, ancient and magical, which calls to Olivia through her blood...

While it is true that there are many reasons while a child may have an unhealthy relationship with her mother, one possible explanation could also be, you were living with a mother that had borderline personality disorder.
Adults who grow up with BPD mothers have great difficulty sustaining stable relationships. It's hard, really hard to live with a mom with BPD, because this personality disorder is known for its rigid pattern of unhealthy and abnormal thought patterns and behaviors, and is characterized by chronic instability in mood, behavior, relationships, and self-image.

Children raised by mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (BDP) miss out on the healthy, steady, and loving relationship children with regular moms have with their moms. They develop a wide range of emotional problems that make it difficult for them to overcome their dysfunctional upbringing.
These children may struggle with low self-esteem, anger, or depression and find out that they have difficulty getting along with their mothers. If you are one of those kids and have been wondering what could have happened, what went wrong, and if you are to blame in all of these, then, this book is for you.
This book shows how heartbreaking the experience of a child with borderline personality disorder can be. The instability, emotional volatility, self-injury, and suicide attempts can be very draining and devastating for the emotions of the child and leave them feeling lost, helpless, and alone. They find that they practically have to live their life walking cautiously, scheming to avoid what’s the next inevitable rage and never able to predict what will be the next trigger.
This book will talk about all of that and help you recognize that you are not to blame for your mother’s behavior, it will aid you toward healing some of your wounds.

A Good and Dignified Life
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) and Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) were critical Jewish mavericks who both suffered under violent political regimes and sought to reform systems of power. Although temporally separated by the Second World War and the rise of totalitarianism, they held in common strikingly similar convictions about freedom, human dignity, capitalism, democracy, and political commitment.
In this powerful book, Joke J. Hermsen explores the lives and works of these two remarkable thinkers and the essential hope that emboldened them in the political struggle. Luxemburg and Arendt were spurred on by a restless love for the world and an unwavering belief in the possibility of new beginnings; for them, hope was an absolute prerequisite of resistance and a counterpoint to melancholy-a defense against despair that kept them attuned to what could be.
Exploring the intertwined nature of philosophy and the active pursuit of justice, this is an urgent, courageous reminder to remain alert to the glimmers of hope in dark times.
The Goldfinch
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION
Theo Decker, aged thirteen, is left alone in the world after surviving a catastrophe that kills his only close relative - his mother - and tears him away from everything he knows. Tormented by grief, drifting from home to home, he grows increasingly obsessed with a small, enchanting work of art which dominates his imagination and ultimately draws him, as an adult, into a much darker life than he could ever have foreseen.
You Are Not Alone
Welcome to the club.
I'm still here now, all these years later. You don't leave once you've joined; it's a life membership. Grief eases and changes and returns but it never disappears.
But you will be okay. Somehow you will be.
When Cariad was just fifteen, her dad died. She became the person-whose-dad-had-died; a mess of emotions and questions; a grief-mess.
Years later, she began trying to unravel this tightly wound grief. What had happened? What effect had it all had on who she was? She started Griefcast, the podcast that talks openly, honestly and at times cheerfully about life's most difficult moment: its end.
Inspired by her own grief mistakes and lessons, and from the profound and witty insights from her incredible guests - including Philippa Perry, Reverend Richard Coles, Isabel Allende, Nish Kumar and Marian Keyes - Cariad provides a road map for all of us. For anybody who has felt lost in grief, who wants to help someone struggling, or just wants to understand this life a little better. You are not alone.
Dali
The third edition of this classic study, a thorough introduction to one of the most popular and recognizable artists of the 20th century.
Salvador Dali was, and remains, among the most universally recognizable artists of the twentieth century. What accounts for this popularity? His excellence as an artist? Or his genius as a self-publicist? In this searching text, partly based on interviews with the artist and fully revised, extended and updated for this edition, Dawn Ades considers the Dali phenomenon. From his early years, his artistic friendships and the development of his technique and style, to his relationship with the Surrealists and exploitation of Freudian ideas, and on to his post-war paintings, this essential study places Dali in social, historical and artistic context, and casts new light on the full range of his creativity.
Slow Horses
'To have been lucky enough to play Smiley in one's career; and now go and play Jackson Lamb in Mick Herron's novels - the heir, in a way, to le Carre - is a terrific thing' Gary Oldman
Spooks are supposed to be stealthy ... But those who make a noisy mess of their careers end up in Slough House.
This is Jackson Lamb's kingdom: a dumping ground for spies who've screwed up. Once high fliers, they're now slow horses, condemned to a life of pushing paper as punishment for crimes of drugs and drunkenness, lechery and failure, politics and betrayal. In drab and mildewed offices, these highly trained spies moan and squabble, stare at the walls, and dream of better days - not one of them joined the Intelligence Service to be a slow horse, and the one thing they have in common is their desire to be back in the action.
So when a young man is kidnapped and held hostage, his beheading scheduled for live broadcast on the net, the slow horses aren't going to just sit quietly and watch. And unless they can prove they're not as useless as they're thought to be, a public execution is going to echo round the world.
