Leading for Anywhere
'Leading From Anywhere is the best book on remote work I've ever read - incisive, original, and eminently practical. Read it - and takes notes.' - Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human
It's undeniable that we're entering a new era of remote work. So, how can managers ensure that their businesses run as usual when the way that we work looks so . . . unusual?
Top business thought leader David Burkus has mined the very best research on virtual teams and case studies of companies that have not just survived but thrived through remote work to provide managers with the field guide to leading remotely, packed with everyday examples and illuminating insights. Structured around the lifecycle of working on a team, Burkus tackles the key inflection points and challenges that managers face in this new landscape from taking the team remote and adding new members, to communicating effectively and quickly, managing performance, keeping the team engaged, and celebrating individual departures or adjourning the team as a whole.
If you want your remote team to have a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity, this is your indispensable guide.

Az én titkos Velencém
Lili egy zátonyra futott házasságtól menekül Itáliába. És hogy miért pont a szerelmek városában akarja átgondolni az életét, arról csakis nagymamája naplója tehet.
Vajon a nagymamájának tényleg volt egy titkos olasz szerelme? A naplóból ugyanis fény derül Róza nagyi titkaira, és Lili egészen Velencéig megy, hogy megtudja az igazságot.
Lili reméli, a saját életével kapcsolatban is tisztábban lát majd az utazás végére. Tudni fogja, érdemes-e még egy esélyt adni a házasságának, vagy új életet kell kezdjen, ha hazatér.
Első állomása a Trattoria Venezia, ahova nagymamája útja is vezetett annak idején.
Elandalítja a város, a gondolások éneke, egy régmúlt szerelem emléke és talán egy új ígérete is.
Vajon Velence feltárja előtte titkait?
The Twelve Monotasks
Neurological research definitively and repeatedly concludes that there is a bottleneck in our cognitive function - when we do more than one thing at a time, we become less efficient and more error-prone. Our systems get overloaded and we crash. In fact, we are actually wired to monotask - to give dedicated focus to one task at a time.
Whether you call it monotasking, mindfulness, being present, or any other name, the goal is the same: Give your focus to one thing at a time and do it with your all. When we do things with our full focus, completely tuning our bodies and our brains in to one activity-like reading a book, listening to someone in a conversation, or paying attention to our surroundings while we go for a walk - amazing things can happen.
Drawing on research in cognitive science, neuroscience, and mindfulness, The Twelve Monotasks shows that by concentrating on twelve everyday activities and approaching them with a focused mindset, we can rebuild and expand our attention spans. When we focus on what we are doing, where we are and who we are with, we can rediscover our ability to enjoy life, connect with others, and succeed in all that we do. And in the end, it makes us happier, more productive, and more present - in all aspects of our lives.
The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült
"Hogyan fogja felismerni a lányt? A szőke hajáról. Soha nem fogja elfelejteni az arcát, de annyi arc van itt. Mi van, ha a lány elfelejti az övét?
Mindenáron ő akarja előbb észrevenni. Úgy érzi, hogy ha a lány meglepi, akkor megijed és elszalad.
Bár magas. Száznyolcvan centi. És ez neki kedvez.
Végül észrevesz egy fényes szőke fejet, amely a peronon halad felé. A szőkeség farmerdzsekit visel, alul kissé bővülő szárú farmernadrágot, és barna csizmát. Benjamin a hajához nyúl, hogy a vax jól tartja-e.
A lány felpillant, meglátja, és az arcán felragyog az a bizonyos mosoly.
Hirtelen az jut eszébe, hogy szeretné, ha ez a mosoly lenne az utolsó dolog, amit lát, mielőtt meghal, aztán eltűnődik, hogy mi a franc baj van vele."
Két együtt töltött év...
Húsz év távol egymástól...
És egyetlen nap, hogy változtassanak a történetükön.
Benjamin világa kifordul a sarkaiból, amikor találkozik Clarával. Tudja, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, ám egy végzetes hiba az utolsó egyetemi estéjükön nagyon különböző irányba fordítja az életüket.
Húsz évvel később Clarának remek állása és jóképű férje van. Ám a látszólagos sikerei ellenére sem boldog, és tudja, hogy szíve egy darabja még mindig Benjaminé, a fiúé, akibe évekkel korábban beleszeretett. A fiúé, akinek az életét félő, hogy tönkretette.
Amikor bombamerénylet történik abban a városban, ahol először találkoztak, Clara visszakerül a helyre, amelyet igyekezett kitörölni az emlékezetéből, és az első szerelemhez, amelyet soha nem tudott elfelejteni. Benjamin után kutatva kénytelen szembenézni azokkal az eseményekkel, amelyek szétszakították őket. De vajon már túl késő helyrehozni azt, ami elromlott?
Charlotte Rixon The One That Got Away - Aki elmenekült című regénye kilométereken és évtizedeken átívelő, elsöprő erejű, megrendítő történet első szerelemről, felnőtté válásról, eltávolodásról, és a meglepő, kanyargós utakról, amelyekre az érzelmek vezethetnek minket.

Druhý život Adolfa Eichmanna
Už od konce války se strůjce holocaustu Adolf Eichmann skrývá před spravedlností. Roku 1950 se pod falešným jménem Ricardo Klement usadí v peronistické Argentině, kde požívá ochrany místní vlády i německé komunity. O dva roky později se k němu připojí manželka s dětmi a on začíná žít klidný a diskrétní rodinný život, který v roce 1960 přeruší zajetí izraelskou tajnou službou Mosad.
Román Druhý život Adolfa Eichmanna zachycuje poslední roky svobody jednoho z nejzáhadnějších válečných zločinců v lidské historii, zároveň nabízí zajímavý pohled do míst, kde se jen pár let po válečných hrůzách opět schází válečné oběti i jejich kati. Eichmannův egocentrismus a chladnokrevnost v tomto strhujícím románu, který je poprvé vyprávěn z pohledu takzvaného „architekta holocaustu“, ostře kontrastují s jeho každodenní rodinnou zranitelností.
Ariel Magnus ve svém nejnovějším románu proniká až do nitra této složité historické postavy a jeho závěrečné části odhalí i překvapivě osobní svědectví spojené s touto fascinující postavou z říše zla.

The Children of Ash and Elm
'As brilliant a history of the Vikings as one could possibly hope to read' Tom Holland
The 'Viking Age' is traditionally held to begin in June 793 when Scandinavian raiders attacked the monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, and to end in September 1066, when King Harald Hardrada of Norway died leading the charge against the English line at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. This book, the most wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of the current state of our knowledge, takes a refreshingly different view. It shows that the Viking expansion began generations before the Lindisfarne raid, and traces Scandinavian history back centuries further to see how these people came to be who they were.
The narrative ranges across the whole of the Viking diaspora, from Vinland on the eastern American seaboard to Constantinople and Uzbekistan, with contacts as far away as China. Based on the latest archaeology, it explores the complex origins of the Viking phenomenon and traces the seismic shifts in Scandinavian society that resulted from an economy geared to maritime war. Some of its most striking discoveries include the central role of slavery in Viking life and trade, and the previously unsuspected pirate communities and family migrations that were part of the Viking 'armies' - not least in England.
Especially, Neil Price takes us inside the Norse mind and spirit-world, and across their borders of identity and gender, to reveal startlingly different Vikings to the barbarian marauders of stereotype. He cuts through centuries of received wisdom to try to see the Vikings as they saw themselves - descendants of the first human couple, the Children of Ash and Elm. Healso reminds us of the simultaneous familiarity and strangeness of the past, of how much we cannot know, alongside the discoveries that change the landscape of our understanding. This is an eye-opening and surprisingly moving book.

Frankenstein
Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller.
Victor Frankenstein driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel.
Although first published in 1818, Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.
Lacná kniha How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (-50%)
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan

A Fire in My Head
A powerful collection of new and recently completed poems by Ben Okri covering topics of the day, such as the refugee crisis, racism, Obama, the Grenfell Tower fire, and the Corona outbreak.
In our times of crisis
The mind has its powers
This book brings together many of Ben Okri's most acclaimed and politically charged poems.
Some of them, like 'Grenfell Tower, June 2017', are already familiar. Published in the Financial Times less than ten days after the fire, it was played more than 6 million times on Channel 4's Facebook page, and was retweeted by thousands on Twitter.
'Notre-Dame is Telling Us Something' was first read on BBC Radio 4, in the aftermath of the cathedral's near destruction. It spoke eloquently of the despair that was felt around the world.
In 'shaved head poem', Ben Okri wrote of the confusion and anxiety felt as the world grappled with a health crisis unprecedented in our times.
'Breathing the Light' was his response to the events of summer 2020, when a black man died beneath the knee of a white policeman, a tragedy sparking a movement for change.
These poems, and others including poems for Ken Saro-Wiwa, Barack Obama, Amnesty and more, make this a uniquely powerful collection that blends anger and tenderness with Ben Okri's inimitable vision.

With Fire In Their Blood
A simmering supernatural romance set in the crumbling Italian city of Castello, where mafia clans make the rules, dark magic pulses the streets and the sins of the past threaten to consume the present. . .
As seen on TikTok..... Perfect for lovers of Chloe Gong, Renee Ahdieh and V.E. Schwab
When sixteen-year-old Lilly arrives in Castello, she isn't impressed.

Lilly falls in with the rebellious Liza, brooding Nico and sensitive Christian, and sparks begin to fly. But in a city where love can lead to ruin, Lilly isn't sure she can trust anyone -- not even herself.
And then she accidentally breaks Castello's most important rule: when the General's men come to test your blood, you'd better not be anything more than human...
