As If on Cue
A pair of fierce foes are forced to work together to save the arts at their school in this "enemies-to-lovers romcom of my dreams" (Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow) that fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson are sure to adore.
Lifelong rivals Natalie and Reid have never been on the same team. So when their school's art budget faces cutbacks, of course Natalie finds herself up against her nemesis once more. She's fighting to direct the school's first ever student-written play, but for her small production to get funding, the school's award-winning band will have to lose it. Reid's band. And he's got no intention of letting the show go on.
But when their rivalry turns into an all-out prank war that goes too far, Natalie and Reid have to face the music, resulting in the worst compromise: writing and directing a musical. Together. At least if they deliver a sold-out show, the school board will reconsider next year's band and theater budget. Everyone could win.
Except Natalie and Reid.
Because after spending their entire lives in competition, they have absolutely no idea how to be co-anything. And they certainly don't know how to deal with the feelings that are inexplicably, weirdly, definitely developing between them...
Bratr Králík - Brother Rabbit + CD
Lidová vyprávění afroamerických Jižanů sesbíral a v 80. letech 19. století vydal americký novinář, spisovatel a folklorista Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908). Bajky a příběhy o vykutáleném brachovi Králíkovi a dalších zvířatech vypráví jižanským dialektem strýček Remus, starý černošský otrok. My jsme kvůli zjednodušení strýčka Remuse vynechali a jeden z příběhů převyprávěli moderní jednoduchou angličtinou, které jsou schopné porozumět děti po 2 – 3 letech studia anglického jazyka. Kromě vysvětlení klíčových slovíček přímo v textu si čtenáři mohou přečíst překlad uvedený na konci knihy. Vzadu v knize čtenáři najdou také několik úkolů, které procvičují a dále rozvíjejí slovní zásobu, gramatiku a porozumění textu. Příběh si čtenáři mohou poslechnout na přiloženém CD, kde jsou také další interaktivní cvičení na upevnění vyučovaného jazyka. Hlavním cílem této publikace je pomoci při výuce anglického jazyka a přivést děti k četbě originálních textů.

Atlas of AI
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth, to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers, to the data taken from every action and expression. This book reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.
Co ryba ví?
"Jonathan Balcombe názorně ukazuje, že ryby mají pocity a zaslouží si respekt a ochranu jako jiné vnímavé bytosti." - DALAJLÁMA
Přemýšlejí ryby? Skutečně mají třívteřinovou paměť? A dokáží rozpoznat lidi, kteří na ně zírají nad hladinou?

Vezme vás do hlubin moří, do potoků a ústí řek i na druhou stranu akvarijního skla, kde odhalí překvapivé dovednosti ryb. Co ryba ví? překypuje postřehy a vzrušujícími objevy, a tak vybízí k přehodnocení našeho vztahu k rybám a ke stále více ohroženému mořskému životu. Navždy změní váš pohled na naše podvodní bratrance. A to včetně zlatých rybiček.

Public Management in the Context of Contingency Theory
Does public management, i.e. the management of public interest organisations, differ from business management, i.e. the management of profit-oriented organisations, and if so, in what way? This is the question that the book in the hands of the reader seeks and provides possible answers to. It is framed by the contingency theory, which assumes that there is no single best solution and method that is equally applicable in all circumstances; that there is a need for flexibility in the methods to be applied; and that the methods to be applied in a given situation must be adapted to the circumstances. Public Management in the Context of Contingency Theory addresses the issue of situational management in public administration organisations, as their specific environment – its complexity, dynamics and changes – also implies a need for their managers to adapt; one possible means of doing so is the adaptive use of contingency theory.

Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild examines the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man who walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later.
In April 1992, Chris McCandless set off alone into the Alaskan wild. He had given his savings to charity, abandoned his car and his possessions, and burnt the money in his wallet, determined to live a life of independence. Just four months later, Chris was found dead. An SOS note was taped to his makeshift home, an abandoned bus.
In piecing together the final travels of this extraordinary young man's life, Jon Krakauer writes about the heart of the wilderness, its terribly beauty and its relentless harshness. Into the Wild is a modern classic of travel writing, and a riveting exploration of what drives some of us to risk more than we can afford to lose.
From the author of Under the Banner of Heaven and Into Thin Air. A film adaptation of Into the Wild was directed by Sean Penn and starred Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart.
Venice
Enchanting, captivating, precious—Venice is one of the most cherished cities in the world. For centuries it was the heart of a global maritime power and a crossroads for diverse cultures. Today the city attracts millions of visitors each year, enticed by its irresistible beauty. Art lovers are drawn here by the paintings, prints, drawings, and films made by generations of artists who have captured its magical allure. It is through images—both of the city and the art created there—that Venice’s identity has been forged and spread so powerfully.Venice was a major center of art in the Renaissance: the city where the medium of oil on canvas became the norm.
The achievements of the Bellini brothers, Vittore Carpaccio, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese are a key part of this story. Nowhere else has been depicted by so many great painters in so many diverse styles and moods. Venetian views were a specialty of native artists such as Canaletto and Francesco Guardi, but the city has also been represented by outsiders: William Turner, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, Howard Hodgkin, and many more.
Then there are those who came to look at and write about art. The reactions of Henry James, George Eliot, Richard Wagner, and others enrich this tale. Nor is the story over. Since the advent of the Venice Biennale in the 1890s, the city has become a shop window for the contemporary art of the whole world.In this elegant volume, Martin Gayford takes us on a visual journey through the past five centuries of the city known as “La Serenissima,” the “Most Serene.”
Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses: Suspended In Dusk (Green & Black) 2LP
Type O Negative bola americká gothic metalová skupina, ktorú založili v Brooklyne, New York City v roku 1989 Peter Steele (basgitara, spev), Kenny Hickey (gitara, spolu-vedúci spev), Josh Silver (klávesy, sprievodné vokály) a Sal Abruscato (bicie, perkusie), ktorého neskôr nahradil Johnny Kelly. Ich lyrický dôraz na témy romantiky, depresie a smrti vyústil do prezývky „Drab Four“ (na počesť prezývky Beatles „Fab Four“). Skupina sa stala platinovou s albumom Bloody Kisses z roku 1993 a zlatou s albumom October Rust z roku 1996 a získala si fanúšikovskú základňu prostredníctvom siedmich štúdiových albumov, dvoch kompilácií a koncertných DVD.
Bloody Kisses je tretí štúdiový album a zároveň posledná nahrávka s ich pôvodnou zostavou, keďže bubeník Sal Abruscato opustil skupinu koncom roku 1993 a pripojil sa ku kolegom z vydavateľstva Life of Agony. Album obsahuje dve z ich najznámejších piesní, "Christian Woman" a "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)", pričom obe získali kapele značný kult. Album ďalej ustanovil opakujúce sa motívy hudby skupiny, ako napríklad zahrnutie cover verzií piesní nahratých v ich vlastnom unikátnom štýle, samplovo náročných medzihrávok a textov plných suchého, satirického humoru.

Scandalized
THE PERFECT NEW ROMCOM!
A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love - a steamy romance debut perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Helen Hoang and Rosie Danan.
Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck overnight in a city with no hotel rooms to be had. But when a familiar face appears - the older brother of her childhood friend - and offers help, Gigi finally seems to have caught a break.
Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind - exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift - that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn't the only reason he seems so familiar to her. He also happens to be an international TV star. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality... one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.
Magic
From the hexing of presidents to a renewed interest in herbalism and atavistic forms of self-care, magic has furnished the contemporary imagination with mysterious and complex bodies of arcane thought and practice. This volume brings together writings by artists, magicians, historians, and theorists that illuminate the vibrant correspondences animating contemporary art's varied encounters with magical culture, inspiring a reconsideration of the relationship between the symbolic and the pragmatic.
Dispensing with simple narratives of re-enchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture's tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care.
Tracing its various emergences through the shadows of modernity, the circuitries of ritual media, and declarations of psychic self-defence, Magic deciphers the evolution of a 'magical-critical' thinking that productively complicates, contradicts and expands the boundaries of our increasingly weird present.

Story by story, Mukesh and Aleisha work their way through the list - their worries slipping away with every encounter, with every world discovered in their unlikely book club of two.
A fresh chance at life, at friendship, wasn't on the cards for these lonely souls - but every story starts somewhere .
From Bad to Cursed

But when someone starts sabotaging the celebrations leading up to this year's Beltane festival with dark, dangerous magic, a member of the rival Thorn family gets badly hurt-throwing immediate suspicion on the Avramovs. To clear the Avramov name and step up for her family when they need her the most, Issa agrees to serve as a co-investigator, helping none other than Rowan Thorn get to the bottom of things.
Rowan is the very definition of lawful good, so tragically noble and by-the-book he makes Issa's teeth hurt. In accordance with their families' complicated history, he and Issa have been archenemies for years and have grown to heartily loathe each other. But as the unlikely duo follow a perplexing trail of clues to a stunning conclusion, Issa and Rowan discover how little they really know each other... and stumble upon a maddening attraction that becomes harder to ignore by the day.
