Legiobanka
Stěžejní dílo největšího českého architekta 20. století Josefa Gočára, od jehož smrti právě uplynulo 70 let, určilo styl zvaný národní dekorativismus pro oficiální architekturu ve službách nově zrozeného samostatného Československa. Monumentální a umělecky jednotná budova dokončená roku 1923 je originálním českým příspěvkem a součástí evropského slohu art déco. Drobná, leč informacemi a fotografiemi nabitá publikace vypravuje příběh československých legií a budování jejich bankovního ústavu, představuje tvůrce výjimečné stavby i historii místa, kde stojí, přináší neznámé údaje o proinvestovaných částkách, realizačních stavebních firmách či původním rozvržení interiérů a názorným způsobem vysvětluje mimořádnou sochařskou výzdobu fasády domu.

Real Self-Care
Full of authenticity and compassion, Real Self-Care is a hands-on guide to true wellbeing for fans of Brené Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert.
Self-care has become a staple in women's lives. From juice cleanses to yoga workshops to luxury bamboo sheets, we are sold breezy fixes in pastel-coloured packages, and then made to feel at fault when they don't work, like there is something wrong with us. But we are not broken: the game is rigged against us. And if we set aside those activities that don't serve us, we can all reconnect with ourselves and become agents of change in our lives.
In Real Self-Care, psychiatrist and women's mental health specialist Dr Pooja Lakshmin will help you understand what a real and sustainable practice of caring for yourself looks like. Using case studies, clinical research and actionable strategies to deal with common problems, this book will help you set boundaries and move past guilt, treat yourself with compassion, live a life aligned with your values and assert your power. The result - having ownership over your life - is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.
Because real self-care is not a noun - it's a verb. And while it may not be as easy as buying that crystal-infused water bottle, the rewards are infinite.

Adventures in the Stone Age
When Leopold Pospíšil first arrived in New Guinea in 1954 to investigate the legal systems of the local tribes, he was warned about the Kapauku who reputedly had no laws. Dubious that any society could exist without laws, Pospíšil immediately decided to live among and study the Kapauku.
Learning the language and living as a participant-observer among the Kapauku, Pospíšil discovers that the supposedly primitive society possesses laws, rules, and social structures that are as sophisticated as they are logical. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and fled the Communist regime, Pospíšil has little patience for the notion that so-called advanced civilizations are superior to the ‘stone age’ society in which he now lives.
On the basis of his research and experiences among the Kapauku – he would stay with them five times between 1954 and 1979 – Pospíšil pioneered in the field of legal anthropology, holding a professorship at Yale, serving as the anthropology curator of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and publishing three books of scholarship on the Kapauku law. As Jaroslav Jiřík and Martin Soukup write in their afterword, however, “His three previously published works are about the Kapauku; this one is about the anthropologist among the Kapauku.”
The memoir is filled with charming anecdotes and thrilling stories of trials, travels, and war – told with humor and humility—and accompanied by a wealth of the author’s personal photos from the time.

Led Zeppelin Vinyl
A tribute to the world's greatest rock band through a kaleidoscopic collection of vinyl, from obscure international records to handmade albums of historic performances
Led Zeppelin released only eight studio albums and no singles over the course of their 12-year career, but to date there are more than 1,000 singles and 2,000 LPs in the market.
This definitive volume illustrates in full color some of the rarest and most interesting vinyl releases, including one-of-a-kind rarities, bizarre regional variations, official albums and historic recordings of legendary concerts, sometimes featuring handmade artwork or colored vinyl. The vinyl, labels and covers have been documented by photographer Ross Halfin in superb detail and are annotated with details of their release.
In addition, the book includes over forty pages of the most up-to-date comprehensive discography ever compiled on the band, with forensic detail. All known album and single vinyl releases from around the world are listed with catalogue numbers, release or recording dates and additional notes.
A labor of love, Led Zeppelin Vinyl is a must-have for fans of the group and vinyl enthusiasts. It is a paean of praise to vinyl artwork and graphic design: The illustrations are explosive and surreal, playful, experimental and subversive, interpreting multiple artistic disciplines with flair and wit.
Ross Halfin is one of the best-known photographers in the world and has been working in the music industry since 1977. He has a record collection almost as extensive as his photo archive.

The Year of the Locust
A Financial Times Best Thriller of the Year 2023

But some places don't play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane's experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet are such a place - a place where violence is the only way to survive.
Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West - but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart...
Rok nesnází (Deník Chloe Snowové I)
Svěží humorné i vážné postřehy čerstvé americké středoškolačky.
Novopečená americká středoškolačka Chloe Snowová si myslí, že její život je jedna velká pohroma, nebo dokonce katastrofa? Jak by také ne, když ještě nikdy nikoho nepolíbila (a to je tak strašně trapné) nebo když její nejlepší kamarádka Hana dohání Chloe k šílenství. A když si Chloe myslí, že se zamilovala do Maca Brodyho, fotbalové hvězdy z posledního ročníku, jehož přítelkyně je tak krásná, že nepotřebuje ani oční linky, a když se táta Chloe neustále ptá, zda je OK.
A když, ach, Chloina máma odjela do Mexika, aby mohla pracovat na svém novém románu. Alespoň že říkala, že bude brzy zpět, takže to zas tak (moc) nevadí :(((.
I proto si Chloe píše deník. Její máma totiž také řekla, že jediná věc smutnější než si něco pamatovat je, že to zapomeneme.
Chloe se proto rozhodla, že si do deníku bude zapisovat vše, co se jí přihodí. Až jí bude devadesát, bude moct vzpomínat na to, jak divné, strašné a vzrušující bylo být středoškolačkou.

Náhrdelník / Obojok
Za túto knihu Jana Bodnárová ako prvá získala Cenu Literárnej akadémie za rok 2016.
Jana Bodnárová (1950), jedna z našich najpozoruhodnejších prozaičiek, prichádza na predvianočný trh s novým románom vo fragmentoch Náhrdelník/Obojok. Dej románu rámcujú roky druhej svetovej vojny v mestečku na severe Slovenska (obyvatelia Liptovského Mikuláša sa v ňom zrejme "nájdu") a súčasnosť. Do svojho rodného mesta prichádza Sára, aby rozhodla o osude domu, v ktorom žili generácie jej predkov, najmä starí rodičia z otcovej strany a rodičia. Tento fakt poslúžil autorke, aby na osude Sárinej rodiny a ich priateľov ukázala, ako valcovali dejiny životy drobných ľudí. Súčasnosť v autorkinom rozprávaní pretínajú fragmenty zo života mestečka a osudov jej obyvateľov z čias druhej svetovej vojny, päťdesiatych rokov i z obdobia uvoľnenia a nádeje v druhej polovici rokov šesťdesiatych. Druhá svetová vojna a politika 1. slovenskej republiky uvoľňuje aj v tomto mestečku vášne. Obeťou rasového prenasledovania sa stanú Sárini starí rodičia a jej otec Imro. Veľmi silnou je v románe scéna smrti Sárinej starej mamy, keď vysilená strachom, neistotou a ukrývaním sa rozhodne dobrovoľne odísť zo života. O niekoľko rokov neskôr sa na podobný čin odhodlá aj Sárina mama, jej nevesta, ktorá svoju svokru vlastne ani nepoznala. Otec Imro, talentovaný maliar (jeho predobrazom bol maliar Ernest Špitz, ale jeho reálny osud je v diele značne pozmenený), zomiera na záhadnú chorobu, ktorej priebeh urýchli doba, ktorá nepraje umelcom, vyhraňujúcim sa proti štátnej estetike socialistického realizmu. A jeho žena Emilka sa nevyrovná s touto stratou a odchádza od svojej nedospelej dcéry do nenávratna. Okrem Sáriných starých rodičov a rodičov sú silne vykreslené osudy Sárinej priateľky Iboje a jej starých rodičov a rodičov. Obdobie znárodňovania, hľadania vnútorného i vonkajšieho nepriateľa vykresľuje autorka s mrazivou autenticitou. Autorka vťahuje čitateľa do osudov svojich postáv s nepozorovanou naliehavosťou, aby si pri čítaní uvedomil, ako sa v nás všetkých zapísali naše súkromné i všeobecné dejiny a ako sa navzájom prelínajú. Miestami ako náhrdelník, niekedy ako obojok.

Underground Empire
An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientists
Deep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.
Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

Bold Ventures
A spellbinding new talent explores the dark side of creativity through the stories of thirteen tragic architects
'Bold Ventures resembles a pop version of Iain Sinclair's psychogeography or Out of Sheer Rage, Geoff Dyer's anti-biography of DH Lawrence' Olivia Laing, Guardian
In thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator?
Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked their hand at a creative act.
