Wise Animals
Wise Animals explores the history of our relationship with technology, and our deep involvement with our creations from the first use of tools and the taming of fire, via the invention of reading and printing, to the development of the computer, the creation of the internet and the emergence of AI.
Human children know no more of modern technology than their ancestors did of older technologies thousands of years ago, and develop in relation to the technologies of their time. We co-evolve with technology as individuals as we have as a species over thousands of years.
Rather than see technology as a threat, this deeply humanist contribution to the debate proposes that we are neither masters nor victims of our technologies. They are part of who we are, and our future - and theirs - is in our hands.

The Great Gatsby
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey

The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.
The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

Practice Soccer At Home
Are you looking to take your soccer game to the next level? That little extra could be in your home, backyard or in the off-season.
Whether it's an extremely harsh winter of an off-season, a pandemic caused by an extremely infectious pathogen or you just have too much of a break between games, your soccer game can stagnate. And then you start playing again, and it takes a few weeks to get back to the same level. And you are behind other players who were better prepared. Come the next game or next off-season, and the cycle repeats.
Or maybe you're a fantastic player who just needs that little bit of extra practice on certain skills at your home/backyard.
In either case, this book is your answer.
So many coaching books require complex equipment, copious resources and fantastic facilities. In writing Practice Soccer at Home, we are seeking to offer a guide for those times when we train alone, in our back yard, with little more than a ball and our immediate environment. Undertaking this additional work is important whether we are professionals seeking to perfect our technique at the highest level (why else would top professionals build home gyms into their luxurious houses?) or, more relevantly for this book, keen amateurs or youth players looking to develop our own game.
With jobs to hold down, school to attend and such like, it is unlikely that, in the best of times, we will get more than two formal training sessions per week, plus a match at the weekend. Realistically, it is likely to be just one session. In order to maximise our potential, we must do some work on our skills and endurance alone. The most practical place for many of us is to undertake this training at home. Why get in the car to drive to the gym or park if we have a back yard we could use instead? The answer is, of course, what to do in the back yard, and what to do it with! This book provides some answers to those questions.
Here's What's Included In This Book:
Training Equipment that You Might Need (with free substitute equipment)
Drills for individuals, pairs and small groups to try in their backyard
Some solo, paired and small group games to make training fun,
Exercises that can be undertaken at home and in the backyard to improve fitness and flexibility
Some mental health guidance
Outlines of key techniques for reference
Key skills on which the drills work
More than thirty diagrams to help with understanding the more complex drills
Even if you're in the middle of a busy soccer season with not much free time, you'll still gain a lot from this book.

Hory peklo ráj
Jak se komik proti své vůli pokusil o lásku k přírodě
Are Kalvř vyrostl přímo uprostřed pohlednicové krajiny severozápadního Norska, obklopený fjordy a horami, za kterými lidé cestují přes půl planety. Jeho to ovšem do přírody nikdy netáhlo. Jenže před pár lety mu hory začaly přebírat přátele — jednoho dne si totiž uvědomil, že na Facebooku nemá jediného přítele, který by nesdílel svou fotku na horách.
Začalo mu to vrtat hlavou. Že by se celou dobu mýlil? Ze strachu, že o něco přichází, se vydá do hor zjistit, co žene lidi k tomu, aby se ve volném čase vzdali městských radovánek, investovali nehorázné peníze do turistického vybavení, trmáceli se osm hodin v dešti a mlze a večery trávili v páchnoucím funkčním prádle ve společnosti stejně zapálených jedinců na chatách s prapodivnými jmény jako Komáří domov, U Ošklivce, Vraní chýše nebo Kočičárna.

Zúfalé postavy
"Významný míľnik povojnového realizmu..." - David Foster Wallace
Otto a Sophie Bentwoodovci žijú v meniacej sa štvrti newyorského Brooklynu. Práve si zariadili nerezovú kuchyňu a na chodníku pred domom parkuje ich Mercedes. Potom čo Sophie uhryzne pravdepodobne besná túlavá mačka, ktorú kŕmi, manželov začnú stretať malé zlovestné nešťastia, odhaľujúce praskliny v ich vzťahu a v rozpadávajúcej sa spoločnosti.
Novela Zúfalé postavy vyšla prvýkrát v sedemdesiatych rokoch a kritika ju označila za jedno z najvýraznejších diel povojnovej americkej literatúry a prirovnala ju k románom ako Fitzgeraldov Veľký Gatsby či Ani deň! od Saula Bellowa.
"Majstrovské dielo minimalistickej prózy. Človek len premýšľa, kto desivejšie klame sám seba: zúfalé postavy z čias Bentwoodovcov alebo supersebavedomé postavy dneška." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"Zúfalé postavy patria k tomu najlepšiemu zo súčasnej literatúry: originálne, trvalé dielo nabité inteligenciou, životom a napätím prežitia v modernom svete." - Shirley Hazzard
"Dokonalo priezračná novela o bolesti. Uveriteľná a liečivá..." - Frederick Busch
Paula Fox (1923 - 2017) napísala niekoľko románov, memoáre a množstvo kníh pre deti. Vďaka svojim pozorovaniam, úspornej próze a nepochybne zaujímavému životnému príbehu sa stala jednou z kultových amerických autoriek.
