The Complete Short Stories
The Complete Short Stories is the most comprehensive collection of O’Brian’s short fiction ever published. An essential volume, certain to enchant O’Brian admirers as well as readers who are fortunate enough to be journeying with him for the very first time.
Patrick O’Brian is acclaimed as one of the greatest historical novelists of the twentieth century, celebrated throughout the world for his masterful roman fleuve, the Aubrey?Maturin series. But he was also a prolific writer of short stories, and it is in this form that he first made his mark.
Encompassing stories written in his unvarnished youth to tales told by a seasoned traveller, this is the most comprehensive collection of O’Brian’s short fiction ever published. It is a treasure chest, overflowing with riches, containing more than sixty tales, including rarities, uncollected works, and forgotten jewels that have been out of print for decades.
These are stories of friendship, travel, adventure and the wonders of the natural world. Some are enchantingly funny, others exciting, terrifying, passionate. All of them prove Patrick O’Brian to be a true master of the form.
Surviving to Drive
'People talk about football managers being under pressure. Trust me, that's nothing. Pressure is watching one of your drivers hit a barrier at 190mph and exploding before your eyes...'
Guenther Steiner is one of motor racing's biggest and most celebrated characters, known to millions for his show-stealing appearances on Netflix's hugely popular fly on the wall series, Drive to Survive.
In Surviving to Drive, the Haas team principal takes readers inside his Formula 1 team for the entirety of the 2022 season, giving an unobstructed view of what really takes place behind the scenes. Through this unique lens, Guenther takes us on the thrilling rollercoaster of life at the heart of high stakes motor racing.
Packed full of twists and turns, from hiring and firing drivers, balancing books, pre-season preparations, the design, launch and testing of a car - and of course, the race calendar itself - this is the first time that an F1 team has allowed an acting team principal to tell the full story of a whole season.
Uncompromising and searingly honest, told in Steiner's inimitable style, this is a fascinating and hugely entertaining account of the realities of running a Formula 1 team.

souostroví /postižení /veřejnosti
Souostrovím postižení nazýváme systém ústavů pro lidi označené za postižené, jejichž obyvateli jsou v České republice tisíce lidí. Náš etnografický výzkum potvrzuje, že ústavy jsou izolovaná, obtížně dostupná místa, protkaná těžko překročitelnými hranicemi oddělujícími obyvatele od zaměstnanců, obyčejný život od oficiálních strategií péče a údržby a lidi označené za postižené od nás ostatních, kteří za postižené označení nejsme. Souostroví postižení však není jen regionem vyloučení a vytěžování. Je zároveň prostorem problematizace, kde se shromažďují veřejnosti tvořené lidmi, kteří jsou působením ústavních režimů zasaženi. Tyto veřejnosti staví na poznání, že postižení, které člověka odsuzuje k životu v ústavech, není jedinou reálně uskutečnitelnou verzí postižení. Vedle etnografického popisu světa ústavů a empiricko-teoretického hledání odpovědi na otázku, jaká socio-materiální uspořádání a zájmy ho udržují při životě, tato kniha nabízí i naději na změnu: pragmaticky založenou vizi postižené veřejnosti coby proměnlivého otevřeného společenství, v němž je vyloučení nahrazeno sdílenou zasažeností a osvědčené způsoby zacházení s postižením kreativní nevědomostí.
Michal Synek je religionista a sociolog. Zkoumá vztahy mezi různými repertoáry pečování a způsoby uspořádávání postižení. Působí jako výzkumník na Fakultě humanitních studií UK. Zajímá se o teoretické problémy s praktickým dopadem na pomezí vědních studií a studií postižení a péče. Dana Hradcová vyučuje na Fakultě humanitních studií, studuje život s dis/abilitou a zabývá se empirickou etikou a etnografickým a kolaborativním výzkumem v prostředí sociálních a zdravotních služeb. Věnuje se podpoře uživatelů služeb a spolupracuje s ne/profesionálními pečujícími.
anotace en:
The Disability Archipelago is our name for the system of institutions intended for people deemed disabled, and its inhabitants count thousands of people. Our ethnographic research confirms that the institutions are isolated, difficult-to-reach places demarcated by rigid boundaries separating the inhabitants from the employees, regular life from official care strategies and maintenance, and people deemed disabled from the rest of us who have not been labeled as such. The Disability Archipelago is however not only a region of exclusion and extraction. It is also a space for problematization where congregate various publics composed of people who are impacted by the institutional regimes’ operations. These publics build on the understanding that the disability which condemns a person to life in the institutions is not the only possible version of disability. Apart from offering an ethnographic description of the world of institutions and an empirical-theoretical search for answers to the question of what socio-material conditions and interests allow its operations, this book also offers hope for change: a pragmatically founded vision of a disabled society as an open, changing community in which exclusion is replaced by a sense of shared affliction, and the tried and tested approaches of dealing with disability are replaced by an approach of creative unknowing.
Michal Synek is a sociologist and religions scholar. He studies the relationships between various repertoires of caretaking and ways of ordering disability. He is active as a researcher at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University and is interested in theoretical problems which bear practical impact on scientific study and the research of disability and care.
Dana Hradcová teaches at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University, studying life with dis/ability, empirical ethics, and ethnographic and collaborative research in the sphere of social and health services. She focuses on the support of service users and collaborates with (non)professional caretakers.

Jeho príchod znamená pre Ninu smrteľné nebezpečenstvo, s ktorým je spojené aj odveké tajomstvo, ktoré nemalo byť nikdy odhalené. Nina musí nájsť v sebe dostatok síl a odvahy, aby prežila všetky nástrahy, ktoré ju čakajú.
Stolen Heir
A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.
Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.
Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world, where she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years.
Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful and manipulative. He's on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren's help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she had left behind.
The spellbinding new fantasy from the Queen of Faerie Holly Black, author of the Folk of the Air series.
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
"Eleanor Oliphant is a truly original literary creation: funny, touching, and unpredictable. Her journey out of dark shadows is absolutely gripping." --Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You
"Deft, compassionate and deeply moving--Honeyman's debut will have you rooting for Eleanor with every turning page." --Paula McClain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun
No one's ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine.
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond's big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes. . .
The only way to survive is to open your heart.

Discipline Equals Freedom
FIND YOUR WILL, FIND YOUR DISCIPLINE - AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR FREEDOM
Jocko Willink's methods for success were born in the SEAL Teams, where he spent most of his adult life, enlisting after high school and rising through the ranks to become the commander of the most highly decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. In Discipline Equals Freedom, Willink describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life. Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals - but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress. Discipline Equals Freedom covers it all, including strategies and tactics for conquering weakness, procrastination, and fear, and specific physical training presented in workouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes, and even the best sleep habits and food intake recommended to optimise performance.
Now, with brand new sections like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, SUGAR COATED LIES and DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH WEAKNESS, readers will discover new ways to become stronger, smarter and healthier.
