Because financial crises can be very frightening: In addition to the normal everyday worries, in crisis situations there is also the worry of what will become of the saved money and whether we will be able to put money aside at all. But the good news is: On the one hand, we can save a lot of money in everyday life with the right financial planning, on the other hand, everyone should urgently deal with the topic of investments and shares, after all, savings and thus the retirement provisions that are important for pensions are only destroyed by inflation.

OWC Four Revenge Tragedies: Spanish Tragedy", "Revenger´s Tragedy", "Revenge of Bussy D´Ambois", "Atheist´s Tragedy" (Oxford World´s Classics)"
The Revenge Tragedy flourished in Britain in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy helped to establish the popularity of the genre, and it was followed by The Revenger's Tragedy, published anonymously an
d ascribed first to Cyril Tourneur and then to Thomas Middleton. George Chapman's The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois and Tourneur's The Atheist's Tragedy appeared soon after. Each of the four plays printed here defines the problems of the revenge genre, o
ften by exploiting its conventions in unexpected directions. All deal with fundamental moral questions about the meaning of justice and the lengths to which victimized individuals may go to obtain it, while registering the strains of life in a rigid
but increasingly fragile social hierarchy. Under the General Editoriship of Dr Michael Cordner, of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is
a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.

The official prequel novel to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the hotly anticipated action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montreal and published by Square Enix.
Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Racoon and Groot. They're the Guardians of the Galaxy, turning a tidy profit as heroes for hire-or, they will be if Peter Quill can get his act together. After he botches the most critical part of their latest mission-getting paid-his newly assembled crew is close to ditching him for good. Now he needs a big payday, fast.
When an old acquaintance shows up offering a whole lot of units for a field trip to Peter's past, it's a no-brainer. Twelve years ago, Peter fought the Chitauri alongside the Resistance on Mercury to prevent an invasion of Earth. Now it's time to go back. The old Resistance base has a squatter, and it's up to the Guardians to 'gently escort' them off the premises... and unmask a wartime traitor while they're at it.
But war is heavy, man, and the Galactic War screwed up each of the Guardians in their own special ways. The brand-new team is barely hanging together, and the mission brings up all kinds of bad memories. It's make or break time for the Guardians, and they do so love breaking things...
Just hopefully not each other.

Murder Isn't Easy: The Forensics of Agatha Christie
While other children were devouring the works of Enid Blyton and Beatrix Potter, Carla Valentine was poring through the pages of Agatha Christie novels - and that early fascination lead to her job as a pathology technician working in mortuaries and trained in forensics.
Nearly every Agatha Christie story involves one - or more commonly several - dead bodies, and for a young Carla, a curious child already fascinated with biology, these stories and these bodies were perfect puzzles.
Of course Agatha herself didn't talk of 'forensics' which, in the way we use it now, but each tale she tells twists and turns with her expert weave of human observation, ingenuity and genuine science of the era. Through the medium of the 'whodunnit', Agatha Christie was a pioneer of forensic science, and in Murder Isn't Easy Carla illuminates all of the knowledge of one of our most beloved authors.
Fabric : The Hidden History of the Material World
'Subtle, compendious and rich ... an emotive and serious work of what you might call history on the distaff side' - James McConnachie, The Sunday Times
'Dazzling ... Finlay's adventures, vividly recounted, make enthralling reading ... This book is equally an inspiration and an education' - Bel Mooney, Daily Mail
'I am wildly impressed by the depth of her research and the stories she finds' - Alexandra Shulman, author of Clothes... And Other Things That Matter
How is a handmade fabric helping save an ancient forest?
Why is a famous fabric pattern from India best known by the name of a Scottish town?
How is a Chinese dragon robe a diagram of the whole universe?
What is the difference between how the Greek Fates and the Viking Norns used threads to tell our destiny?
In Fabric, bestselling author Victoria Finlay spins us round the globe, weaving stories of our relationship with cloth and asking how and why people through the ages have made it, worn it, invented it and made symbols out of it. And sometimes why they have fought for it.
She beats the inner bark of trees into cloth in Papua New Guinea, fails to handspin cotton in Guatemala, visits tweed weavers at their homes in Harris, and has lessons in patchwork-making in Gee's Bend, Alabama - where in the 1930s, deprived of almost everything they owned, a community of women turned quilting into an art form.
She began her research just after the deaths of both her parents - and entwined in the threads she found her personal story too. The book became her journey through grief and recovery. It is her own patchwork.

Messi - Bůh, který sestoupil na Zemi
"Bůh sestoupil na Zemi a jmenuje se Messi." Vzkázal světu Lionelův bývalý spoluhráč a střelec Barcelony Samuel Eto´o krátce po té, co Messi zapsal už před dvěma lety v El Clásiku proti Realu svůj barcelonský gól s číslem 500, a navíc gól vítězný.
Ovšem dnes už je na více než 700 vstřelených brankách při dosažení 50 hattricků ve všech soutěžích, mimořádností nejsou ani čtyři góly v zápase. Suma sumarum 50 branek za sezonu, více než gól v jednom zápase! Podobně jako Cristiano Ronaldo. Oba si na posledních dvanáct let podmanili fotbalový i sportovní svět. Větších celebrit v něm zřejmě nenajdeme. Oproti skvělému Portugalci má však ve vlastnictví o jeden čerstvý klenot navíc. Na sklonku roku 2019 získává už svůj šestý Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety a poprvé obdrží Cenu Laureus, je vyhlášen nejlepším sportovcem světa.
Lionel, dnes společně právě s Cristianem - po boku Pelého, Maradadony a Cruijffa - jeden z nejlepších fotbalistů historie a technicky nepochybně nejvybavenější hráč, nepřestává za svou úžasnou kariéru děkovat také dvěma obyčejným a zároveň výjimečným ženám. Matce, a především babičce. Obě nesou pro Lea vzácné jméno Célia.
"Posílám vzkaz mojí babičce, která mě k fotbalu přivedla, ale už se nemůže dívat, kam jsem se díky němu dostal."
Maminka, vynikající kuchařka, o své matce, tedy oné skvělé babičce, mimochodem umné cukrářce, prozradí: "Trvala na tom, aby Leovi dovolili hrát, když ještě neměl věk, byl nejmladší a nejmenší. ‚Přihrajte Lionelovi, tomu malému chlapci, protože on umí střílet góly,' vykřikovala vždycky. "A byla to ona, přesvědčila nás, abychom mu koupili kopačky."
Cesta, jakou Leo, dodnes v podstatě skromný kluk, k velké slávě ušel, se podobá příběhu z fantastického filmu. Jejím základem bylo, že od svých čtyř let miloval balon. "Drobek", jak mu říkali, v jedenácti míč ovládá jako nějaký kouzelník, ve škole s ním všichni chtějí hrát, protože střílí nejvíc gólů.
Jenže - jak fotbalová nebesa nadělí Leovi talent, tak mu v předpubertálním věku ubírají na výšce. Nedostává se mu růstového hormonu a ve dvanácti třinácti zůstává sotva na sto třiceti centimetrech! Trpasličí chlapec, navíc často nemocný, byť se jeví jako génius, přece nikdy nedoroste do velkého fotbalu, vidí trenéři. Fyzicky hru prostě nezvládne. Mají strach Lea vůbec postavit, hrozí, že ho mnohem urostlejší protihráči zadupou do země. Kdo si tohle vezme na triko?
Nejdříve tradiční klub z Rosaria, Atlético Newell´s Old Boys. Když chlapec oblékne jeho červenočerné barvy, má sedm let, ovšem tehdy ještě nikdo o jeho budoucích strastech netuší. Válí jako fotbalový bůžek, takže se nad jeho chatrným růstem pomalu nikdo nezamýšlí. První otazníky přicházejí a jejich rébus nastává po Leových desátých narozeninách. Resumé vyhlíží jednoznačně. Pokud se chce jedinečný talent prosadit, musí podstoupit náročnou hormonální léčbu. Kdo ji ale zaplatí, když rodiče, pomalu zoufalí Célie a Jorge, prostředky nemají? Po složitých peripetiích přelétne třináctiletý Lionel deset tisíc kilometrů do akademie Barcelony, výjimečné líhně La Masia. Modročervení "blaugranas" v roce 2000 zatím spíše pouze tuší, že získávají unikátní talent, ale že se stávají vlastníky nejcennějšího fotbalového klenotu současnosti, poznávají až o pár let později. Leo zatím pod dohledem nejlepších odborníků vyroste k 169 centimetrům.
V necelých osmnácti oblékne dres prvního týmu Barcy a současně přivede Argentinu k titulu mistrů světa dvacetiletých. Už v roce 2009, ve svých dvaadvaceti, poprvé získá Zlatý míč pro nejlepšího fotbalistu planety. Vystřídá na trůnu Cristiana Ronalda a pak nejcennější individuální trofej zvedne jako první fotbalista historie nad hlavu hned šestkrát (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015 a 2019)!
Lionel a Christiano, novodobí giganti fotbalu, pořádají střelecké dostihy. Co na tom, že Ronaldo vstřelí v jedné sezoně za Real Madrid 60 branek, když Messi jich v Barce zapíše 73, a překoná i legendu Gerda Müllera. Leo se v jediném ročníku Champions League raduje čtrnáctkrát, aby ho pak Cristiano v roce 2014 překonal hned sedmnácti zásahy. Lionel by se mohl pyšnit celou řadou fantastických statistik, chlapec z Rosaria však jen skromně řekne: "Lámání rekordů je výsledkem několika věcí: ve fotbale se to však stane, když vám k tomu pomůže tým. Myslím si, že se pořád učím nové věci, a určitě tady bude vždycky něco, co se dá zlepšit."
Messi a Ronaldo jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli to, co bylo, a předběhli i to, co bude. A Diego Maradona, mistr světa z roku 1986, už o osmnáctiletém Leovi bez obav prohlásí: "Viděl jsem hráče, který převezme mou úlohu v argentinském fotbale. Jeho jméno je Messi a je mým nástupcem. On mě jednou nahradí a bude nejlepší na světě."
Diegova předpověd se naplňuje, až na jediné. Zatímco Leo vyhraje s Barcelonou vše, co je možné, krom jiného deset španělských titulů a čtyřikrát Champions League, jako kapitán Albicelestes zatím dosáhne "jen" na světové stříbro na Mondialu v Brazílii. A tak toužebně vzhlíží k zisku Světovému poháru na MS v Kataru 2022 a myslí na svůj největší sen. "Chtěl bych se stát s Argentinou mistrem světa."
Vydejme se na Messiho neuvěřitelnou cestu dlážděnou výsostným uměním velkého hráče a posetou fotbalovými diamanty.

The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey Of Angela Merkel
'An intimate, insightful portrait of an extraordinarily private leader' WALTER ISAACSON
From the bestselling author of Enemies of the People
An intimate and deeply researched account of the extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful - and elusive - woman in the world.
Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor's daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, only entering politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West.
Acclaimed author Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of this unlikely ascent. With unparalleled access to the chancellor's inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique political genius that is the secret to Merkel's success. No other modern leader has so ably confronted authoritarian aggression, enacted daring social policies and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming only more divided. Again and again, she's cleverly outmanoeuvred strongmen like Putin and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron.
Famously private, the woman who emerges from these pages is a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one's moral convictions. At once a riveting political biography, an intimate human portrait and a revelatory look at successful leadership in action, The Chancellor brings forth from the shadows one of the most extraordinary women of our time.
Elizabethans: A History Of How Modern Britain Was Forged
David Attenborough. Marcus Rashford. Jan Morris. Diana Dors. Bob Geldof. David Olusoga. Elizabeth David. Zaha Hadid. Frank Crichlow. Quentin Crisp. Dusty Springfield. Captain Tom.
Who made modern Britain the country it is today? How do we sum up the kind of people we are? What does it mean to be the new Elizabethans?
In this wonderfully told history, spanning back to when Queen Elizabeth became queen in 1953, Andrew Marr traces the people who have made Britain the country it is today. From the activists to the artists, the sports heroes to the innovators, these people pushed us forward, changed the conversation, encouraged us to eat better, to sing, think and to protest. They got things done. How will our generation be remembered in a hundred years' time? And when you look back at Britain's toughest moments in the past seventy years, what do you learn about its people and its values?
In brilliantly entertaining style and with unexpected insights into some of our sung and unsung heroes, Andrew Marr offers up a first draft of the history we are all living. This is our story as the new Elizabethans - the story of how 1950s Britain evolved into the diverse country we live in today. In short, it is the history of modern Britain.

The V&A Sourcebook of Pattern and Ornament
The wealth of surface pattern and three-dimensional ornamentation in the many objects that enrich our lives is testament to the inventiveness of designers and craftspeople around the globe and throughout history.
This richly illustrated, easy-to-navigate sourcebook presents more than 1,000 historic and contemporary examples of pattern and ornamentation from around the world, each one succinctly identified and explained. Arranged thematically, it is unique among pattern books, as it includes examples not only of surface pattern but also of three-dimensional ornamentation and embellishment.
Two-dimensional pattern is ubiquitous, no matter what the age of an object or where it was created. From Japanese kimono and William Morris fabrics to Chinese porcelain and contemporary furniture, such works reveal humanity's unceasing desire to combine pattern with design. Just as prevalent are examples of three-dimensional embellishments that go far beyond the requirements of their practical use: an acrylic handbag has a carved motif of insects and wildflowers, a cobalt-blue pottery ewer has a dragon's-head spout and an early 19th-century fruit plate is shaped like a seashell.
Designers working today are as fascinated and inspired by pattern and ornament as they have always been. This expertly compiled selection will appeal to designers, artists, illustrators and other creatives from all disciplines as well as anyone interested in visual and material culture.

Twenty Five Thousand Days of Memories
Architekt, profesor a autor mnoha odborných publikací M. Rajniš se rozhodl sepsat vzpomínky ze svého života plného cestování, netradičních zvratů, úspěchů i pádů. Jako buřič a provokatér, který si celý život razí svojí cestu, chce čtenáři ukázat, že i člověk, nýmand, kterého málem strčili do pomocné školy, může žít bezvadný život. Přál bych si, aby se čtenář při mým vyprávění odvázal, začal mluvit slangem a vychutnal si krásně vyslovený český nadávky, který se skví jako pralinka na dortu.
Prof. Ing. arch. Martin Rajniš (* 16. května 1944, Praha) je český architekt a urbanista, spoluzakladatel České komory architektů, několika architektonických kanceláří a zakladatel ateliéru Huť Architektury. Jako pedagog působil na VŠUP v Praze a na Technické univerzitě v Liberci. Je známý především jako autor nové Poštovny na Sněžce nebo Majáku a muzea Járy Cimrmana v Jizerských horách. Věnuje se experimentální architektuře a vztahu architektury k přírodě a k lidské společnosti.
Martin Rajniš o knize Skutečně mám dobrou paměť a už řadu let mě připadalo potřebný podělit se o příběhy, který jsem za posledních 70 let zažil. Osud mi do cesty přihrál milý stvoření, Magdu (Křížkovou) Šebestovou, která mý košatý zhruba, 100 hodinový vyprávění převedla do 900 stran textu, z kterejch posléze vznikl na 120 stranách týhle knihy koncentrovanej elixír toho, podle nás, nejlepšího. Myslím, že čtenáře budou bavit i krásný fotky, mimo jiný i z mejch četnejch exotických cest, kterých tam bude víc než stovka. Dílo se jmenuje 25 344 dnů vzpomínek, což vystihuje 71 let mého života, během něhož jsem toho zažil skutečně hodně dětství ve staré Praze s nejrůznějšími výchovnými experimenty svého otce, časy chudoby a vzdoru proti bolševikovi, byl jsem dvanáctkrát v kriminále. Strávil jsem čtyři roky na moři, přeplul na malé lodi s jednou krásnou holkou Atlantik. Projezdil jsem stovky tisíc kilometrů po pouštích, divočinách, pralesech, projel jsem horní toky Amazonky, byl jsem v nejzapadlejších koutech Nové Guiney. Ale zároveň jsem řídil jako architekt velké ateliéry a rukama mi prošlo ve stavebních nákladech skoro 14 miliard korun. Zažil jsem Paříž coby bezdomovec i jako nositel světové ceny za architekturu
Spolupráce s Magdou (Křížkovou) Šebestovou Magdu jsem poznal koncem sedmdesátých let, když jsme v době třeskutýho bolševizmu dělali pavilon na výstavu do Kanady já jako mladej architekt a ona jako hosteska. Pamatoval jsem si ji ještě z doby, kdy jako malá holka zpívala s Jiřím Suchým v Semaforu. Potom jsme se dlouhý roky neviděli a až při rozhovoru pro Xantypu kterej se mnou přišla udělat,jsem si uvědomil, jak se umí ptát, jak se umí bezvadně tvářit a hlavně jak skvěle umí psát tak jsem jí nabídl, že bychom spolu mohli zkusit to moje vzpomínání napsat a ona, zaplať pánbůh, kývla...
