How to Think Like Einstein
A tantalising mixture of biography-cum-self-help book, this is an accessible, if unusual, analysis of Einstein's thinking- Good Book Guide.
Best known as the creator of the world's most famous equation, E=mc2, Albert Einstein's theories of relativity challenged centuries of received wisdom dating back to Newton. Without his groundbreaking work in relativity and quantum physics, our knowledge of the cosmos might lag decades behind where it is today.
But Einstein was not only an extraordinary scientific thinker. He was a humanitarian who detested war and tried to stem the proliferation of hitherto unimaginably destructive weapons that his work had in part made possible. He spent a lifetime fighting authoritarianism and promoting personal freedom, selflessly standing up to those who posed a threat to those ideals.
He was also a bona fide superstar and was instantly recognizable to millions who had not the least understanding of the intricacies of his scientific theories. Even now, the image of the tussled-hair 'mad professor' poking his tongue out at the camera is familiar across the globe.
In How to Think Like Einstein, you can explore his unique approach to solving the great scientific mysteries of his age and trace the disparate ideas and influences that helped shape his personality and outlook - for better and worse.

Účast
Účast malíře v díle, účast pozorovatele v díle. Dílo jako prostor vzájemné komunikace tvůrce a diváka. Vizuální vnímání předmětné skutečnosti tvůrcem a její převod do díla. Obraz a jeho pravda. To jsou základní témata knížky. Obraz nelze vymyslet. Je třeba ho dělat, pracovat na něm. Kdy bude dokončen, se nedá dopředu odhadnout. Těch chvil, kdy se zdá, že se v práci chýlíme ke konci, je v jejím průběhu více. Často to jsou jen falešné signály spojené s chvilkovou radostí nad dobře nanesenou barevnou skvrnou detailu, jejíž zdánlivá prvotní oprávněnost může záhy ztroskotat na její neschopnosti komunikovat s obrazem v jeho celku. To, co se malíři ještě před chvílí zdálo jako možný správný krok v práci, obraz nechce, a skvrnu je potřeba udělat jinak. A to je dobrá zpráva, protože v této chvíli začíná být obraz sám sebou obrazem, který je ochotný s malířem komunikovat. Obraz ví, jak barvu namíchat, jakou má mít barva hustotu, jak má být pokládána. Malíř sám to neví, ale umí, pokud zná řemeslo.

Přežít nebo zemřít
Evropa si příliš zvykla na život v míru a ekonomickém blahobytu. Když odečteme sice krvavé, ale lokální válečné akce na Balkáně v 90. letech, žijeme v míru od konce druhé světové války už více než sedmdesát let. Ovšem řada lidí sdílí obavy, že následující roky již dobou klidu a pohody nebudou.
Válečný konflikt velmocí, jaderná válka, dlouhodobý ploš¬ný blackout, finančně-ekonomická krize mimořádné intenzity a dopadů, přírodní katastrofa celoplošných rozměrů, ozbrojený konflikt v Evropě mezi původním a nepůvodním obyvatelstvem. To vše jsou situace, které nemůžeme v blízké nebo vzdálenější budoucnosti zcela vyloučit.
Autor knihy „Přežít, nebo zemřít“ Aleš Přichystal se ve funkci náčelníka štábu Zemské domobrany dlouhodobě věnuje praktic¬kým otázkám přípravy na mimořádné situace.
Podařilo se mu shromáždit a přehledně utřídit množství ma¬teriálu, který se týká zásadního problému: jak přežít, když přijde nečekaná situace, která „vyřadí z provozu“ civilizaci, jak ji známe. Autor nechce nikoho strašit, ale mobilizovat. Je přesvědčen, že mnohému můžeme předejít, pokud si včas uvědomíme, že může velmi snadno přijít chvíle, kdy nás stát neochrání a kdy záchranu života – svého i svých nejbližších – budeme muset vzít do vlast¬ních rukou. Jak zvýšit svoje šance na přežití? To je právě to, o čem v knize širokou veřejnost informuje.

Every Word is a Bird We Teach to Sing
'Full of charm and fascination' The Bookseller
'Tammet's intriguing cases of linguistic idiosyncrasies expand our notions on what it means to be human . . . Would dazzle any storyteller in love with words and their deepest meanings' Amy Tan, author of Joy Luck Club
'A generous book and a beguiling read' Rebecca Gowers
* * * * * *
From the bestselling author of Born on a Blue Day and Thinking in Numbers, a delightful and eclectic exploration of language, and what it can teach us about ourselves and our lives.
Why is the name 'Cleopatra' not allowed in Iceland? Why do clocks 'talk' to the Nahua people of Mexico? And if we are what we eat, are we also what we say? These are just some of the questions Daniel Tammet answers in Every Word is a Bird We Teach to Sing, a mesmerising new collection of essays investigating the intricacies and profound power of human language.
Tammet goes back in time to explore the numeric language of his autistic childhood; he looks at the music and patterns that words make, and how languages evolve and are translated. He meets one of the world's most accomplished lip readers in Canada, learns how endangered languages like Manx are being revived and corresponds with native speakers of Esperanto in their mother tongue. He studies the grammar of the telephone, contemplates the significance of disappearing dialects, and also asks: will chatbots ever manage to convince us that they are human?
From the art of translation to the lyricism of sign language, Every Word is a Bird We Teach to Sing is a fascinating journey through the world of words, letters, stories and meanings, and an extraordinary testament to the stunning range of Tammet's literary and polyglot talents.

Veci, ktoré tajíme pred svetom
Veselého a usmievavého Nasha Morgana vždy považovali za toho lepšieho z bratov Morganovcov. Teraz sa ale tento náčelník polície zotavuje zo strelných rán a jeho južanský šarm zatienili návaly úzkosti a nočné mory, vďaka ktorým sa cíti ako úbohá schránka muža, ktorým kedysi býval. Nash sa so svojím utrpením nechystá nikomu zdôveriť. Jeho novej susede, inteligentnej a príťažlivej Line, však mračná nad jeho hlavou neunikli. Zvyčajne nemá rada, keď sa jej ľudia bez dovolenia dotýkajú, no pri Nashovi to z nejakého dôvodu neplatí. A všimol si to aj on. Ich vzájomná fyzická príťažlivosť je spaľujúca, jeho uzemňuje a ju núti premýšľať, či sa pre ten pocit oplatí riskovať.
Škoda, že aj Lina má svoje tajomstvá a ak Nash zistí, prečo v skutočnosti prišla do mesta, určite jej to neodpustí. Okrem toho sa nikdy nevrhá do dlhodobých vzťahov. Nikdy. Vášnivý románik s miestnym policajtom? Jednoznačne. Kedykoľvek. Vzťah s mužom, ktorý od nej očakáva, že zapustí korene? Tak to ani náhodou. Hneď ako získa to, po čo sem prišla, neostane tu ani o minútu dlhšie. No Knockemout vie, ako sa človeku dostať pod kožu. A keď sa Nash rozhodne, že Lina bude jeho, nič ho nepresvedčí o opaku... dokonca ani nebezpečenstvo, ktoré ho predtým takmer zabilo.

Messy - How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World
The urge to tidiness seems to be rooted deep in the human psyche. Many of us feel threatened by anything that is vague, unplanned, scattered around or hard to describe. We find comfort in having a script to rely on, a system to follow, in being able to categorise and file away.
We all benefit from tidy organisation - up to a point. A large library needs a reference system. Global trade needs the shipping container. Scientific collaboration needs measurement units. But the forces of tidiness have marched too far. Corporate middle managers and government bureaucrats have long tended to insist that everything must have a label, a number and a logical place in a logical system. Now that they are armed with computers and serial numbers, there is little to hold this tidy-mindedness in check. It's even spilling into our personal lives, as we corral our children into sanitised play areas or entrust our quest for love to the soulless algorithms of dating websites. Order is imposed when chaos would be more productive. Or if not chaos, then . . . messiness.
The trouble with tidiness is that, in excess, it becomes rigid, fragile and sterile. In Messy, Tim Harford reveals how qualities we value more than ever - responsiveness, resilience and creativity - simply cannot be disentangled from the messy soil that produces them.
This, then, is a book about the benefits of being messy: messy in our private lives; messy in the office, with piles of paper on the desk and unread spreadsheets; messy in the recording studio, the laboratory or in preparing for an important presentation; and messy in our approach to business, politics and economics, leaving things vague, diverse and uncomfortably made-up-on-the-spot. It's time to rediscover the benefits of a little mess.
