How To Connect With Nature
A deep knowledge of our natural environment is no longer a vital part of everyday survival, certainly for those of us living in cities and working in weatherproof offices. Unless we have an inherent love of the great outdoors, do we really need to connect with nature? Tristan Gooley believes that real connection, no matter how small, can enrich us as individuals, allowing us to see every living thing in its own intricate network. Offering a host of techniques, he helps us awaken our senses and deepen our understanding of nature's cycles, conflicts and relationships. By cultivating the right mindset we can gain a better appreciation of the world, both indoors and outdoors. One in the new series of books from The School of Life, launched January 2014: How to Age by Anne Karpf How to Develop Emotional Health by Oliver James How to Be Alone by Sara Maitland How to Deal with Adversity by Christopher Hamilton How to Think About Exercise by Damon Young How to Connect with Nature by Tristan Gooley.

How to be a Victorian
How to be a Victorian - a time traveller's guide to Victorian Britain by the BBC's Ruth Goodman. We know what life was like for Victoria and Albert.

If you liked A Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England or If Walls Could Talk, you will love this book. Popular Historian Ruth Goodman is an expert in nineteenth-century social and domestic history. She has presented a number of BBC television series, including Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm and is a regular expert on The One Show.

Tygřice
Téma, jemuž je věnována celá tahle zábavná, a přesto objevná knížka, u nás bylo dlouhá léta tabu. Nemluvilo se o tom, a pokud přece jen, pak s významně pozdviženým obočím a pohoršenými pohledy. A o cože se vlastně jedná? Přece o milostné a erotické vztahy starších žen s mladšími muži. „Ulovila zajíčka“, říká se, ale co je na tom koneckonců špatného? Jako všechno na světě to samozřejmě má své pozitivní i negativní stránky. A právě těmi nás autorka s humorem sobě vlastním bravurně provede. Dozvíme se, jak rafinovaně utajit drobné vady na kráse, kde a jak lovit a co čekat od ostatních, ať už jde o vlastní děti nebo přítelova psa. Autorka, sama protřelá tygřice, poradí také, jak ve zdraví přežít setkání s partnerovou matkou, která často bývá stejně stará jako „svůdkyně“. Zapomeňme tedy na falešnou morálku, staňme se opravdovými moderními ženami moderní doby a naopak nezapomínejme, že být tygřicí je osvobozující, posilující a téměř trestuhodně zábavné, bez ohledu na to, jaké datum narození máme v občance.

How To Think About Exercise
It can often seem as though existence is split in two: body and mind, flesh and spirit, moving and thinking. In the office or at study we are 'mind workers', with superfluous bodies. In the gym we stretch, run and lift, but our minds are idle. Damon Young challenges this idea, revealing how fitness can develop our bodies and minds as one. Exploring exercises and sports with the help of ancient and modern philosophy, he uncovers the pleasures, virtues and big ideas of fitness. By exercising intelligently, we are committing to wholeness: enjoying and enhancing our full humanity. One in the new series of books from The School of Life, launched January 2014: How to Age by Anne Karpf How to Develop Emotional Health by Oliver James How to Be Alone by Sara Maitland How to Deal with Adversity by Christopher Hamilton How to Think About Exercise by Damon Young How to Connect with Nature by Tristan Gooley

Love Letters to the Dead
Sometimes the best letters are the ones that go unanswered It begins as an assignment for English class: write a letter to a dead person - any dead person. Laurel chooses Kurt Cobain - he died young, and so did Laurel's sister May - so maybe he'll understand a bit of what Laurel is going through. Soon Laurel is writing letters to lots of dead people - Janis Joplin, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Amelia Earhart...it's like she can't stop. And she'd certainly never dream of handing them in to her teacher. She writes about what it's like going to a new high school, meeting new friends, falling in love for the first time - and how her family has shattered since May died. But much as Laurel might find writing the letters cathartic, she can't keep real life out forever. The ghosts of her past won't be contained between the lines of a page, and she will have to come to terms with growing up, the agony of losing a beloved sister, and the realisation that only you can shape your destiny. A lyrical, haunting and stunning debut from the protege of Stephen Chbosky (THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER).
Lacná kniha David Bowie - The Man Who Fell to Earth (-90%)
Loving the Alien Behind the scenes of Nic Roeg's 1976 sci-fi masterpiece starring David Bowie First advertised as a "mind-stretching experience," Nicolas Roeg's 1976 The Man Who Fell to Earth stunned the cinema world. A tour-de-force of science fiction as art form, the movie brought not only hallucinatory visuals and a haunting exploration of contemporary alienation, but also glam-rock legend David Bowie in his lead role debut as paranoid alien Newton. Based on Walter Tevis's 1963 sci-fi fable of the same title, The Man Who Fell to Earth follows alien Newton from his arrival on earth in search of water; his transition to wealthy entrepreneur, leveraging the advanced technologies of his native planet; his sexual awakening with the young Mary-Lou; and then the discovery of his alien identity, his imprisonment, abandonment, and descent into alcoholism. Throughout, Roeg coaxed a beguiling performance from his cast, presenting not only Bowie in ethereal space-traveler glory, but also pitch-perfect supporting performances from Candy Clark, Rip Torn, and Buck Henry. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this cult movie, TASCHEN's The Man Who Fell to Earth presents a plenitude of stills and behind-the-scenes images by unit photographer David James, including numerous shots of Bowie at his playful and ambiguous best. A new introductory essay explores the shooting of the film and it's lasting impact, drawing upon an exclusive interview with David James, who brings firsthand insights into the making of this sci-fi masterwork. About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia. Bookworm's delight -- never bore, always excite! Text in English, French, and German

On Being Nice: how the forgotten quality of being nice deserves to be rediscovered.
Exploring a much forgotten quality.
Most books that want to change us seek to make us richer or thinner. This book wants to help us to be nicer: that is, less irritable, more patient, readier to listen, warmer, less prickly. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but it is a hugely important quality nevertheless and one that we neglect at our peril.
This is a guidebook to the uncharted landscape of niceness, gently leading us around the key themes of this forgotten quality. We learn how to be charitable, how to forgive, how to be natural, and how to reassure. We learn that niceness is compatible with strength and is no indicator of naivety. Niceness deserves to be rediscovered as one of the highest of all human achievements.

O prostoru korupčních příležitostí
Kniha je zaměřena na zkoumání prostoru korupčních příležitostí. Reflektuje současné diskuse o korupci, způsoby jejího zkoumání, měření a monitoringu, předkládá základní typologie korupce a rozebírá související pojmy, jako je patronáž a klientelismus. Konkrétnímu rozboru korupčního prostoru v současném českém prostředí předchází hledání obecnějších příčin v procesech transformace.
Autorka sleduje prostor korupčních příležitostí v různých typech korupce, od nahodilé až po systémovou. Větší pozornost věnuje tzv. imunizaci korupce, mechanismům, které brání jejímu vyšetření a potrestání, a také negativním dopadům politické kontroly státní správy. Zásadní, tj. vycházející z hlubších empirických výzkumů v českém prostředí, jsou dvě témata. První se týká legislativního procesu a hledání děr (loopholes) přímo v zákonodárném sboru. Druhé téma se zaměřuje na problematiku kontrolních mechanismů a dohledu. Odpověď na to, jak lze instituce posílit, zeslabit, eliminovat, či dokonce zneužít z hlediska funkcí, jež mají naplňovat, hledá autorka v důkladné analýze tří dohledových institucí a v jejich srovnání.
Ovládá českou politiku systémová korupce?
Máme šanci korupci zničit, vykořenit, nebo je náš další vývoj již jasně předurčen?
Kde se u nás korupce vzala? Je to důsledek přežívání politické kultury a klientelistických vazeb z komunistického období, nebo je to zcela nový fenomén?
Proč se nedaří ani po třiceti letech korupci důsledně vyšetřovat, potrestat viníky nebo alespoň omezit korupční příležitosti?
Jak a kde vlastně prostor pro korupci vzniká, co má vliv na jeho podobu a proměny?
Pug`s Guide to Etiquette
This manual is an essential item for any pug aspiring to be a sophisticated, civilized citizen. Pugs play by their own set of rules. When you want them to sit, they stand; when you want them to stay, they go; and when you want them to stop eating that unidentified item on the floor, well...Traditional schools of canine thought put this behaviour down to a stubborn refusal to be trained that's inherent in the bred. Not so. This behaviour is, in fact, down to an ancient set of rules, passed down from pug generation to pug generation. A Pug's Guide to Etiquette attempts to explain these rules, thereby advancing pug-human relations to hitherto unprecedented heights.
