Act Your Age, Eve Brown
In New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert's newest romcom, the flightiest Brown sister crashes into the life of an uptight B&B owner and has him falling hard - literally. Perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory and Helen Hoang!
Eve Brown is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong - so she's given up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins a wedding, her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself - even though she's not entirely sure how...
Jacob Wayne is always in control. The uptight B&B owner expects nothing less than perfection from his employees, so when a purple-haired tornado of a woman applies for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her car - supposedly by accident.
Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around, trying to help. Before long, she's infiltrated his work, his kitchen - and his spare bedroom. Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else...

Re-educated
Lucy Kellaway had a comfortable life. For years she had the same prestigious job, the same husband, and the same home. To the casual observer, she was both happy and successful. But one day, Lucy began to realise that the life she had built for herself no longer suited her. Was it too late to start again?
The answer was no - so she proceeded to tear down both marriage and career, and went back to school. Retraining as a teacher, Lucy discovers there is a world of new possibilities awaiting her - and learns that you can teach an old dog new tricks (providing they are willing to un-learn a few old ones along the way).
A witty and moving story of one woman's pursuit of a new life, Re-educated is a celebration of education's power to transform our lives at any age, and an essential companion for anyone facing the joy - and pain - of starting again.

Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence
Artist, technologist, and philosopher James Bridle's Ways of Being is a brilliant, searching exploration of different kinds of intelligence--plant, animal, human, artificial--and how they transform our understanding of humans' place in the cosmos.
What does it mean to be intelligent? Is it something unique to humans or shared with other beings-- beings of flesh, wood, stone, and silicon? The last few years have seen rapid advances in "artificial" intelligence. But rather than a friend or companion, AI increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined, an alien invention that threatens to decenter and supplant us.
At the same time, we're only just becoming aware of the other intelligences that have been with us all along, even if we've failed to recognize or acknowledge them. These others--the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us--are slowly revealing their complexity, agency, and knowledge, just as the technologies we've built to sustain ourselves are threatening to cause their extinction and ours. What can we learn from them, and how can we change ourselves, our technologies, our societies, and our politics to live better and more equitably with one another and the nonhuman world?
The artist and maverick thinker James Bridle draws on biology and physics, computation, literature, art, and philosophy to answer these unsettling questions. Startling and bold, Ways of Being explores the fascinating, strange, and multitudinous forms of knowing, doing, and being that make up the world, and that are essential for our survival.

Lacná kniha All About Eve (-70%)
This is a fascinating insight into the life and works of Eve Arnold, with many personal accounts and a vivid history of her work shown through her photography. Eve Arnold is an American photojournalist. She joined Magnum Photos agency in 1951, and became a full member in 1957. Her interest in becoming a photographer began in 1946, when she worked for a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She briefly learned photographic skills in 1948 from Harper's Bazaar art director Alexei Brodovitch. She may be best known for her images of actress Marilyn Monroe on the set of Monroe's last (1961) film, "The Misfits", but she took many photos of Monroe from 1951 onwards. Arnold photographed Queen Elizabeth II, Malcolm X, and Joan Crawford, and also traveled around the world, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan. Arnold left the United States in the early 1960s moving to England, which eventually became her adopted home. In England, while working for the UK "Sunday Times", she began to seriously use colour as a medium for photography. In her adopted homeland, she was later appointed a member of the Advisory Committee of the National Media Museum formerly the Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford in 1997.

Az utolsó órák 1: Aranylánc
Az árnyvadászok élete az Edward korabeli Londonban! Üdv itt, az elektromos lámpák és a hosszúra nyúlt árnyékok idejében! Vannak, akik a művészetek szépségét ünneplik, vannak, akik az örömöket hajszolják vadul, és persze vannak, akik démonokkal küzdenek. Éveken át béke honolt az árnyvadászvilágban, James és Lucie Herondale, Will és Tessa gyermekei idillben nőttek fel, szerető családjuk és barátaik körében, történeteket hallgatva a jó diadaláról a rossz fölött, s arról, hogy a szerelem mindent legyőz. De minden megváltozik, amikor a Blackthorn és a Carstairs család megérkezik Londonba… és velük együtt egy ismeretlen démon is. James Herondale a nagy szerelemre vár, s úgy véli, hogy megtalálta a gyönyörű és titokzatos Grace Blackthorn személyében. Cordelia Carstairs nagyon szeretne hős lenni, megmenteni a családját a romlástól, titokban tartva a James iránti szerelmét. Ám amikor katasztrófa sújtja az árnyvadászokat,
James, Cordelia és a barátaik vad kalandokba keverednek, hihetetlenül sötét erőkkel találkoznak, és kiderül számukra a hősi lét valódi, kegyetlen ára… mint ahogy a szerelemé is.

Fourth Wing
Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general - also known as her tough-as-talons mother - has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you're smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away . . . because dragons don't bond to 'fragile' humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother's daughter - like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She'll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers. But sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Stane sa zázrak
Človiečik mal každý deň toľko práce!
Staval hrady, opatroval zvieratá, dokonca si niekedy vymýšľal aj celkom nové a nevídané tvory či krajiny.
No keď sa raz ráno vrátil k svojej práci, zistil, že všetky hrady sú dokončené a všetky zvieratá nakŕmené. Zrazu mal pocit, akoby sa zastavil čas.

Poskvrněná
Zdánlivě klidný život Grace Byronové naruší její bezcitná matka, která ji kdysi odložila do internátní školy, aby se jí zbavila. Mladá dívka dostává možnost zakusit rušný londýnský život i sladkou chuť zamilovanosti. Ethanův uhrančivý pohled ji zcela omámí. Zažívají spolu dobrodružství, o kterých se jim předtím ani nesnilo. Nehledí na důsledky a zcela při tom zapomenou, jak dokáže být osud nevyzpytatelný – nejraději má kruté hry… Grace nachází odpovědi na otázky, o nichž si myslela, že zůstanou nezodpovězené. Pavučina tajemství se začíná postupně rozmotávat a dávno pohřbené hříchy vycházejí na povrch, aby odhalily děsivou pravdu o poskvrně rodiny Byronových. Ten, kdo měl navždy mlčet, promluví. Poskvrněná je emocemi nabitý příběh o nesplněných slibech, o lásce, která touží být věčná, o strachu, jenž porazí jenom odvaha.

Od nemohúcnosti k pohybu
Kniha je pozvánkou do plnohodnotného života pre KAŽDÉHO človeka. V úvodnej teoretickej časti je spísané všetko, čo je dobré vedieť o degeneratívnom ochorení s názvom „koxartróza“. Informácie sú jednoduché a prehľadné, aby bolo úplne jasné, čo robiť a čomu sa radšej vyhnúť, alebo sa hýbať inak ako doteraz.
Praktická časť obsahuje cvičebné zostavy s obrázkami a s jednoduchým popisom ako na to. Pacient po operácii – implantácii náhrady bedrového kĺbu – môže vo svojom domácom prostredí cvičiť tak, ako mu je to príjemné. Ide o cieľavedomú činnosť, ktorej výsledkom je naozaj pôžitok z pohybu bez bolesti.
Zámerom autoriek je aj niečo viac: Nech je každý, kto cvičí a následne sa pohybuje inak, inšpiráciou a motiváciou pre ostatných ľudí. Rovnako, ako to prezentuje názov knihy „OD NEMOHÚCNOSTI K POHYBU“.
Autorkami knihy sú Darinka Strešňáková a Mgr. Zuzana Pechová.
Darinka v súčasnosti vedie aktívny život, venuje sa svojim koníčkom a neustále sa vzdeláva. Okrem toho má rada pohyb a športové aktivity. Za základ harmonického života považuje každodenné cvičenie. Život jej pred 15 rokmi priniesol nepríjemný stav, zdravotný problém s medicínskou diagnózou koxartróza. Absolvovala operáciu bedrového kĺbu. Po prepustené z nemocnice sa rozhodla nečakať so založenými rukami a rozhodla sa dať do poriadku. Nuž a tu niekde je začiatok príbehu, ktorý sa stal zrodom tejto knihy. A súčasne aj pozvanie pre všetkých ľudí s podobným osudom, aby neváhali a venovali čas sebe, aby po operácií boľavého kĺbu využili svoju druhú šancu na iný, lepší život. Život v pohybe.
Zuzka absolvovala štúdium na Lekárskej fakulte Univerzity Komenského, odbor fyzioterapia. Najprv začala pôsobiť v nemocnici, neskôr prešla na iný spôsob práce v rekondično-rehabilitačných centrách, ktorý jej priniesol väčšiu variabilitu a možnosť venovať sa pacientom intenzívnejšie. Popri svojej práci vedie semináre pre fyzioterapeutov, kde vidí veľké pole možností poznávania inovatívnych metód práce s pacientami. Výsledky jej práce oceňujú všetky vekové kategórie. A ona sa nebráni žiadnej novej výzve. Intenzívne s Darinkou spolupracovali na tvorbe tejto knihy. Takto vznikla kolekcia cvikov a cvičebných zostáv pre ľudí, ktorí sú ochotní urobiť pre seba viac, aby ich život nabral nový smer a dostali sa od nemohúcnosti k pohybu.
Vydanie knihy Od nemohúcnosti k pohybu podporila aj Karin Haydu. Ďakujeme!
