Obsluha v ceně. Čtyřhvězdičková tajemství zvídavé servítky
Vtipné, ironické a zasvěceně napsané zákulisní vzpomínky první ženy s hodností chef de rang v jedné z nejvěhlasnějších restaurací v New Yorku. Něco mezi pikantními Důvěrnostmi z kuchyně Anthonyho Bourdaina a neméně dráždivým Sexem ve městě. Zatímco Phoebe Damroschová promýšlela svoji profesní budoucnost, pracovala jako servírka v několika newyorských restauracích. Posléze se stala úsekovou vrchní v jednom z kulinářských rájů mistra šéfkuchaře Thomase Kellera, v restauraci Per Se ověnčené čtyřmi hvězdami v prestižním hodnocení New York Times. Popisuje nejen strasti a slasti, které přináší práce v této špičkové restauraci, ale také svou posedlost jídlem i jistým sommelierem a postřehy z nanejvýš soutěživé a zběsilé říše vybraného stravování.

Last Best Hope
Acclaimed National Book Award-winning author George Packer diagnoses America's descent into a failed state, and envisions a path toward overcoming injustices, paralyses, and divides
How, in a few decades, did the United States transform from a broadly prosperous middle-class country, with relatively healthy institutions and competent leaders, to a nation defined by discredited elites, hollowed-out institutions, and blatant inequalities-feared and pitied by our friends, mocked and sabotaged by our adversaries, first in the world in Covid cases and deaths, and led in recent years by an incompetent authoritarian bigot? Last Best Hope is a bracing account of our current crisis and of how a new era of civic revitalization may bring it to an end.
Combining reportage with historical narrative, autobiography, and political analysis, Packer depicts and assesses the four inadequate narratives that dominate American public life: Libertarian America, which imagines a nation of individuals responsible for their own fate, and serves the interests of corporations and the wealthy; Cosmopolitan America, the ideology of Silicon Valley and the professional elite,which celebrates globalization and leaves many American communities behind; Diverse America, which defines citizens as members of large identity groups that have inflicted or suffered oppression; and White America, a shallow nationalism that fears the contamination of non-whites and treachery of coastal elites, and poses the greatest threat to democracy in our lifetime.
At a time when many fear that the American experiment in self-government may collapse, or, in Abraham Lincoln's words, "die by suicide", Packer shows that none of these narratives can sustain American democracy. To point a better way forward, he looks back at previous eras of crisis to discover the resources for invigorating self-government. Combining trenchant social analysis with a vibrant and stinging essayistic voice and a deep knowledge of America's past and present, Last Best Hope is an essential contribution to the literature of national self-examination the times demand.

Lacná kniha Lost Photographs of Captain Scott (HB) (-90%)
Captain Scott perished with four of his fellow explorers on their return from the South Pole in March 1912. Almost immediately the myth was founded, based on Scott's diaries, turning him into an icon of courage in the face of impossible circumstances. But during the final months of that journey Scott also took a series of breathtaking photographs: panoramas of the continent, superb depictions of mountains and formations of ice and snow, and photographs of the explorers on the polar trail. But these photos have never been seen - initially fought over, neglected, then lost - until now, that is. For the first time, they are resurrected and are a humbling testament to the men whose graves still lie unmarked in the vastness of the Great Alone.

Putovanie za obrazmi
V tejto knihe známeho výtvarníka Milana Stana putujete s autorom do rôznych krajín sveta: Vietnam, Taliansko, Kórea, Kuba, Turecko, Grécko, Egypt, Nemecko, Nórsko, Škótsko, Japonsko, Juhoslávia, Česko, Rusko, Rakúsko, Čína, Tibet, Nepál, India, Thajsko, Laos, Kambodža, Mexiko, kde bol maľovať od polovice sedemdesiatych rokov až doteraz. Na svojich cestách zažil mnoho príbehov, stretnutí s krajinou a ľuďmi, ktorí v nej žili. Tí ho inšpirovali k namaľovaniu množstva obrazov a k napísaniu mnohých reportáží, cestopisov, či čŕt, dojmov, reflexií. Porovnáva civilizácie, náboženstvá, rozpráva o svojich zážitkoch na cestách. Píše o nich aj s jemu blízkym humorom, očami umelca, obohatený životnými skúsenosťami. Nevyhľadáva nebezpečenstvá, vojnové konflikty, tie sú mu bytostne cudzie. Hľadá krásu, harmóniu prírody, krajinu, neporušenú ničením človeka. Obdivuje ľudské stavby, tvorbu umeleckých diel, poéziu, ktorá oslavuje prírodu ako božské dielo. Jeho putovanie je cestovanie za krajinou svojho srdca, za krásou. Tá je vykúpená námahou, boľavými nohami, štípajúcimi očami od horúceho slnka a kvapiek potu. No šťastného a plného zážitkov, pozitívneho myslenia, namaľovaných obrazov, nakreslených kresieb a napísaných postrehov.

Deutsch im Tourismus
Druhé vydání úspěšné učebnice „Deutsch im Tourismus“ je určena žákům středních nebo vyšších odborných škol cestovního ruchu a pracovníkům v oblasti cestovního ruchu, kteří se chtějí buď v odborně zaměřených jazykových kurzech či v samostudiu jazykově zdokonalit. Předpokládá základní jazykové znalosti v rozsahu dvou dílů učebnic „Němčiny pro jazykové školy“, popř. „Sprechen Sie Deutsch ?“. Jejím obsahem je odborná komunikace v základních oblastech cestovního ruchu – v hotelnictví, ve veřejném stravování, cestovních kancelářích a v lázeňství. Odráží řadu reálných situací, do kterých se dostává recepční, hotelový manažer, číšník, průvodce či pracovník lázeňství. Tématicky je proto učebnice velmi pestrá: Uživatel se seznámí s jazykovými prostředky, potřebnými při vyřizování nejrůznějších přání, dotazů či stížností hotelového hosta včetně dotazů na město, okolí, služby či počasí. Osvojí si řečové dovednosti při obsluze hosta v restauraci počínaje nabídku jídel a nápojů, převzetím objednávky či telefonické rezervace a placením konče. Naučí se přivítat cestovní skupinu, provádět městem a zodpovědět časté otázky kladené cestovnímu průvodci popř. průvodci městem. Je uveden do komunikace v oblasti wellness a lázeňství. I když je největší pozornost věnována každodenní pracovní komunikaci, nejsou zanedbána ani další poslání jazykové výuky. Studující si rozšíří i své odborné znalosti – např. o členění hotelů, parahotelnictví, kongresové turistice, hodnocení hotelů, proměně našich stravovacích návyků, typologii lázeňských hostů, významných osobnostech v oblasti cestovního ruchu jako byli Karl Baedecker nebo Cäsar Ritz aj. Pozornost je věnována i německy mluvícím zemím a jejich cestovnímu ruchu i jazykovým zvláštnostem rakouské němčiny. Přitom je soustavně srovnáváno s českou realitou, popř. jsou studující k takovému srovnání vybízeni. Jak ukazuje zběžný pohled na obsah učebnice, je zde rozvíjena i dovednost písemné profesní komunikace, zejména hotelové korespondence. Uživatel se v souvislosti s tématem dané lekce seznámí se základními typy vzorových dopisů hotelové korespondence (poptávka, žádost o rezervaci, nabídka, potvrzení stavu rezervace, stížnost, reklamace atd.). V každé lekci je rovněž nacvičován poslech s porozuměním. Jde především o texty dialogické – jsou nahrány rodilými mluvčími. Nahrávky těchto textů na CD jsou připojeny k učebnici.

Nudge
The completely updated, final edition of the global bestseller - one of the most influential books of the 21st century
'Few books can be said to have changed the world, but Nudge did. The Final Edition is marvellous: funny, useful, and wise' Daniel Kahneman
Nudge has transformed the way individuals, companies and governments look at the world - and in the process has become one of the most important books of the twenty-first century. This completely updated edition offers a wealth of new insights for fans and newcomers alike - about COVID-19, diet, personal finance, retirement savings, medical care, organ donation, and climate change.
Every day we make decisions: about the things we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make and the time we spend; about our health and that of the planet. Unfortunately, we often choose badly.
We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions that make us poorer, less healthy and less happy. And, as Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein show, no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way. But by knowing how people think, we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for themselves, for their families and for society. With brilliant insight and wonderful levity, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how best to nudge us in the right directions, without ever restricting our freedom of choice.

The Handmaid's Tale
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
