The Art of Invisibility
Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumer's identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand.
In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge—and he teaches you "the art of invisibility." Mitnick is the world's most famous—and formerly the Most Wanted—computer hacker. He has hacked into some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point he was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now, though, Mitnick is reformed and is widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. He knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening.
In THE ART OF INVISIBILITY Mitnick provides both online and real life tactics and inexpensive methods to protect you and your family, in easy step-by-step instructions. He even talks about more advanced "elite" techniques, which, if used properly, can maximize your privacy. Invisibility isn't just for superheroes—privacy is a power you deserve and need in this modern age.

Paralelní vesmíry
Žijeme v počítačové simulaci? Pokud ano, spousta podivných věcí, které se nám dějí, by rázem dávala smysl!
Kniha Rizwana Virka Paralelní vesmíry (The Simulated Multiverse) si klade za cíl zvýšit povědomí o simulovaných variacích světa, ve kterém žijeme, a také o nekonečných možnostech představivosti.
Existují v paralelních vesmírech další verze nás samých? Žijeme své životy v různých časových liniích? Potkáváte občas nepravděpodobné osoby? Býváte svědky nepravděpodobných situací? Jste přesvědčeni, že si jednu konkrétní událost pamatujete naprosto přesně, ale vaše okolí je přesvědčeno o úplně jiném průběhu, datu a okolnostech vůbec? Nežijeme my nakonec skutečně v matrixu? V Paralelních vesmírech se dozvíte úplně všechno o kvantové neurčitosti, Mandelův efekt, různých časových liniích, počítačových simulacích (a samozřejmě o mnoha dalších fenoménech, které vám pomohou odpovědět na otázky, které si kladete o světě a svém životě v něm).
Vzpomínáte někdy na to, jak jste se ve škole trápili nad Newtonovými pohybovými zákony, Teorií relativity, kvantovou mechanikou… a poté nad videohrou dumali nad tím, k čemu vám tyto informace v životě budou? Virk vám s lehkostí sobě vlastní ukáže, že to, co se kdysi jevilo jako nezáživná nuda, má v sobě neskutečně překvapivé souvislosti. Protože bez Einsteina by například ony videohry nikdy nevznikly…
Virk své čtenáře okouzlí svým jedinečným stylem, který kombinuje videohry, informatiku, kvantovou fyziku a výpočetní techniku se spoustou filozofie a sci-fi a ukazuje nový způsob, jak přemýšlet nejen o našem vesmíru, ale i o všech možných realitách.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance
Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the breathtaking second title in Tomi Adeyemi's YA fantasy trilogy, Legacy of Orisha, following her ground-breaking, West African-inspired debut Children of Blood and Bone.
After battling the impossible, Zelie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orisha. But the ritual was more powerful than they imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji but also some nobles with magic ancestry.
Now, Zelie struggles to unite the maji in an Orisha where the enemy is just as strong and magical as they are. When Amari's mother forms an army of royals with newly awakened powers, Zelie fights to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.
But with civil war looming on the horizon, Zelie finds herself at a breaking point: she must find a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orisha tears itself apart.

Ako človek zmýšľa
Zamýšľali ste sa niekedy nad tým, o čom vlastne premýšľate? Nie, nejde o slovnú hračku. Prečítajte si tú vetu znovu a uvažujte o nej. Zväčša sa vôbec nezamýšľame nad tým, aké myšlienky sa nám preháňajú hlavou. A veruže ich je každý deň požehnane. Desaťtisíce. Státisíce. Väčšina z nás pozná a riadi sa pravidlom „Ako si ustelieš, tak budeš spať“, ale vôbec si neuvedomujeme, že rovnaký zákon funguje aj pri našom zmýšľaní. James Allen vo svojej priekopníckej knižke Ako človek zmýšľa tvrdí, že sila myšlienok ovplyvňuje náš život a nikto iný nie je zodpovedný za svoje šťastie či nešťastie, len my sami. Táto knižka uzrela svetlo sveta už v roku 1902, no stále je veľmi aktuálna. Dnes možno ešte viac než v dobe, keď bola napísaná. Inšpirovala mnohých známych autorov motivačnej literatúry a vedúce osobnosti v oblasti duchovného rozvoja.
Sherlock Holmes történetei 2. - Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 2.
A zseniális nyomozó újabb kalandjai két nyelven. Nyilván senkinek sem kell bemutatni Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hőseit: a zseniális nyomozót, és hű krónikását, a kissé fantáziaszegény orvost. Amiért ez a kötet mégis újdonsággal szolgál, az az, hogy lapjain Sherlock Holmes és Dr. Watson kalandjait két nyelven is élvezhetik az olvasók. Igazi különlegesség, hogy az angol eredetit a fordító `kipreparálta`, vagyis kiemelte és lábjegyzetekkel, illetve magyarázatokkal látta el a ritkábban előforduló angol szavakat, kifejezéseket. Ennek köszönhetően haszonnal forgathatják a könyvet az angolul tanulók, a nyelvvizsgára készülők, továbbá a meglévő tudásukat karbantartani kívánók. És nem mellékesen: bepillantást nyerhetnek a műfordítás olykor gyötrelmes, ám mindig szép és izgalmas folyamatába is.

Sabotage: The Hidden Nature of Finance
Financial malpractice, we're told, is an aberration: the actions of a few bad apples deviating from the norms of a market-governed process and gaming the system. In Sabotage, political scientists Anastasia Nesvetailova and Ronen Palan blow this fiction apart, showing that sabotage is not an anomaly, but part of the business model of finance - and always has been.
Abusive lending practices, misleading investors, manipulating prices, deliberately falsifying figures, cheating, obstruction and taking advantage of 'the dumbest person in the room' - they're actually the main source of profitability in finance, and the surest way to a bonus. If you want to make money in the industry, you need to find ways of sabotaging either your clients, your competitors or the government (or all three), and above all, the market itself. Talking to industry insiders, economists and high net worth customers, examining the history of finance and its workings today, the authors show us how the idea of sabotage not only makes sense of all past economic crises, but must also be at the heart of all future regulations.
