How We Got to Now
From Steven Johnson, the best-selling author of Where Good Ideas Come From, comes How We Got to Now, the companion book to his six-part BBC One television series exploring the power and the legacy of great ideas. How did photography bring about social reform? What connects refrigeration to Hollywood? And how did our battle against dirt help create smartphones? In this story of ingenious breakthroughs and unsung heroes, Steven Johnson explores the essential innovations that changed the world and how we live in it. "A new Steven Johnson book is something not to be missed. The author has become the leading writer on how inventions happen." (Daniel Finkelstein, The Times, Books of the Year). "Graceful and compelling...you'll find yourself exhilarated." (The New York Times Book Review). "Readable, entertaining, and a challenge to any jaded sensibility that has become inured to the everyday miracles all around us." (Peter Forbes, Guardian). "This nimble history of invention...is a many-layered delight." (Nature).

Time to Start Thinking
On its present course, the US faces a world of rising new countries that will compete with it ever more fiecely as its own power is declining. In order to slow and improve this steady leakage of power, the US must change course internationally, economically and domestically. It must also restructure to remain the world's most competitive economy. And it must address quality of life issues and fairness at home. But American politics is broken - competing forces and interests have led to stasis. With change so tough, where now for a country where the middle classes are suffering as they have never suffered before, the pensions crisis is growing, the deficit out of sight, and radicalism waiting in the wings?

Brand New for 2018: an updated edition featuring a new afterword to mark the 10th anniversary of the financial crisis
The brilliantly reported New York Times bestseller that goes behind the scenes of the financial crisis on Wall Street and in Washington to give the definitive account of the crisis, the basis for the HBO film
"Too Big To Fail is too good to put down. . . . It is the story of the actors in the most extraordinary financial spectacle in 80 years, and it is told brilliantly." --The Economist
In one of the most gripping financial narratives in decades, Andrew Ross Sorkin--a New York Times columnist and one of the country's most respected financial reporters--delivers the first definitive blow-by-blow account of the epochal economic crisis that brought the world to the brink. Through unprecedented access to the players involved, he re-creates all the drama and turmoil of these turbulent days, revealing never-before-disclosed details and recounting how, motivated as often by ego and greed as by fear and self-preservation, the most powerful men and women in finance and politics decided the fate of the world's economy.

Lacná kniha Keď ťa zasiahne láska - Kniha pre zamilované dievčatá (-90%)
„Prvá láska je ako písomka z matematiky. Objaví sa, keď ju najmenej očakávaš. Nepripusti, aby ťa prekvapila a prepadla nepripravenú. Prečítaj si túto knihu a dozvieš sa, ako máš riešiť všetky ľúbostné problémy.“
To sú slová z pera srbského novinára a satirika Bojana Ljubenovića, autora jedinečnej knižky Keď ťa zasiahne láska – Kniha pre zamilované dievčatá. Čo majú robiť, keď ich zasiahne prvá láska? Ako sa vyrovnať so svojimi vlastnými pocitmi a vnútorným zmätkom? Ako sa vyznať v citoch, ktoré dievča vlastne vôbec nepozná? Len tuší, že sa s ňou niečo deje, niečo nezvyčajné a krásne, no zároveň sa toho bojí. Kniha jej pomôže zistiť, ako padnúť do oka svojmu vyvolenému, ako sa správne píše ľúbostná báseň, čo sú ľúbostné korenia, aký dôležitý je spojenec v podobe najlepšej kamošky, ale aj to, ako sa správne trpí a že prvá láska rozhodne nebude aj posledná.

From dead to worse
The supernatural community in Bon Temps, Louisiana is reeling from two hard blows: the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina, and the manmade horror of the explosion at the vampire summit in the up-north city of Rhodes. Sookie Stackhouse is safe but dazed, and she's yearning for things to get back to normal. But that's just not happening. Too many vampires - some friends, some not - were killed or injured, and her were-tiger boyfriend Quinn is among the missing. It's clear that things are changing, whether the weres and vamps like it or not. And Sookie, Friend to the Pack, blood-bonded to the leader of the local vampire community, is caught up in those changes. She's about to find herself facing danger and death and, not for the first time, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood has stopped flowing, Sookie's world will be forever altered . . .
Letter to a Priest
Letter to a Priest encapsulates the sharp wit and questioning nature of Simone Weil. Regarded by Susan Sontag as 'one of the most uncompromising and troubling witnesses to the modern travail of the spirit', Weil grips the moral imagination as few others before or since. She was only thirty four when she died in 1943, yet despite her short life she left behind an incredible body of literature. Letter to a Priest, addressed to Father Joseph-Marie Perrin, a Catholic priest who Weil met in Marseilles, is one of her most powerful pieces. Written at a time when those who knew her considered her to be 'like a soul in torment whose thinking had all the signs of a deep inner conflict', it contains thirty five powerful expressions of opinion on matters concerning Catholic faith, dogma and institutions. Vehement and controversial, yet eloquent and moving, it is essential reading for anyone who has questions about faith and belief.

Message to Your Heart
Niamh Greene's delightful fifth novel "A Message to Your Heart" is an intriguing and heart-warming story for fans of the wise humour of Catherine Alliott and the modern day fairytales of Cecelia Ahern. Throw in Niamh's unique brand of heart-warming storytelling and readers are in for a real treat. Frankie Rowley is far too practical to believe in karma or fate ...and her family and friends reckon that work-obsessed Frankie's strongest relationship is with her phone. (And why not? At least it never judges her for cancelling dinner for the umpteenth time.) When she loses that precious phone on a business trip to San Francisco, Frankie is forced to hire a replacement. Soon she's getting texts meant for someone else - a woman called Aimee who seems like a lot of fun, and whose family clearly loves to keep in touch - and whose presence in her life is the last thing Frankie needs. Frankie goes on the warpath, but she is in for some surprises when she blunders into Aimee's world. And the biggest surprise of all is how your life can be changed forever by losing a phone. Frankie may not believe in karma or fate, but suddenly it looks like they've got her number ...

LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell
LaChapelle Heaven to Hell is the third volume in an exhilarating trilogy that began with LaChapelle Land (1996) and continued with the infamous Hotel LaChapelle (1999). Packed with astonishing, color-saturated, and provocative images, those titles both became instant collector's items and have since gone through multiple printings. Featuring almost twice as many images as its predecessors, LaChapelle Heaven to Hell is an explosive compilation of new work by the visionary photographer. Since the publication of Hotel LaChapelle, the strength of LaChapelle's work lies in its ability to focus the lens of celebrity and fashion toward more pressing issues of societal concern. LaChapelle's images—of the most famous faces on the planet, and marginalized figures like transsexual Amanda Lepore or the cast of his critically acclaimed social documentary Rize—call into question our relationship with gender, glamour, and status. Using his trademark baroque excess, LaChapelle inverts the consumption he appears to celebrate, pointing instead to apocalyptic consequences for humanity itself. While referencing and acknowledging diverse sources such as the Renaissance, art history, cinema, The Bible, pornography, and the new globalized pop culture, LaChapelle has fashioned a deeply personal and epoch-defining visual language that holds up a mirror to our times. This popular hardcover edition of LaChapelle Heaven to Hell is a must-have for anyone interested in contemporary photography. It is also keenly priced, especially for those who have coveted TASCHEN's limited edition, LaChapelle, Artists & Prostitutes.

Tap Dancing to Work
Tap Dancing to Work compiles six decades of writing on legendary investor Warren Buffett, from Carol Loomis, the reporter who knows him best.
Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway into something remarkable - and Fortune had a front-row seat
When Fortune writer Carole Loomis first mentioned a little-known Omaha hedge fund manager in a 1966 article, she didn't dream that Warren Buffett would become the world's greatest investor. Nor did she imagine that she and Buffett would be close friends.
As Buffett's fortune and reputation grew, Loomis used her unique insight into his thinking to chronicle his work, writing scores of stories that tracked his many accomplishments - and his occasional mistakes.
Now Loomis has collected and updated the best Buffett articles from Fortune between 1966 and 2013, including cover stories and pieces by Buffett himself. Readers will gain fresh insights into Buffett's investment strategies and his thinking on management, philanthropy, public policy, and even parenting.
Scores of Buffett books have been written, but none can claim this combination of trust, deep understanding of Buffett's world, and a long-term perspective.
'The clearest picture of life according to the world's fourth-richest man' Evening Standard
'Stuffed with nuggets and insights - a Christmas fruitcake for the investor' Financial Times
Carol J. Loomis is a senior editor-at-large at Fortune, where she has worked since 1954. She has been the magazine's expert on Warren Buffett since 1966 and has edited his annual letter to shareholders since 1977. Her many honours include five lifetime achievement awards, including a Gerald Loeb Award for business journalism and Time Inc.'s first-ever Henry Luce Award. This is her first book. She lives in Westchester County.

Fenomén Mbappé
Nemal ešte ani dvadsaťjeden rokov a už mal za sebou ohromné úspechy.
Kylian Mbappé prepísal futbalové štatistiky, keď sa mu len počas troch sezón podarilo dosiahnuť v takom mladom veku rekordné výkony. Lepšie sa v jeho veku darilo len Pelému, ktorý v ňom videl svojho nástupcu.
Táto kniha sleduje kariéru mladého fenoménu už od jeho prvých driblingov na trávniku štadióna Léa Lagrangea na parížskom predmestí Bondy až po jeho štvrtý gól vo finále majstrovstiev sveta na moskovskom štadióne Lužniki.
Čo je zač? Ako sa dostal tam, kde je? Na akých hodnotách si zakladal? Kto mu pomohol? Ako môžeme vysvetliť jeho neochvejné sebavedomie – tú istotu, že uspeje?
Toto bádanie je bohaté na rozhovory a nepublikované príbehy.
Odhaľuje život hráča, ktorého osobité čaro presahuje hranice zelených ihrísk. Nie je to len nadaný športovec, ale aj muž, ktorý vyčnieva z davu a priťahuje pozornosť ľudí.
Doplnené o novú kapitolu z Majstrovstiev sveta vo futbale 2022.
