The Story of a New Name
The international bestseller, now in B-format paperback with a brand new cover. The Story of a New Name, the second book of the Neapolitan Quartet, picks up the story where My Brilliant Friend left off. Lila has recently married and made her entree into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighbourhood that she so often finds stifling. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and is a source of strength in the face of life's challenges. In the Neapolitan Quartet, Elena Ferrante gives readers a poignant and universalstory about friendship and belonging.

Surveying humanity's impact on the planet, with contributions from Donna Haraway, Bill McKibben, Greta Thunberg, Bruno Latour, Alice Waters and others
This timely book, in the form of an encyclopedia, considers the totality of issues surrounding the Anthropocene, that geologic era characterized by humanity's vast impact on the Earth.

The content ranges from scientific to cultural-theoretical and artistic contributions featuring a wide span of scholars, philosophers, anthropologists, scientists, authors, artists and others. The book accompanies the exhibition at the Danish Pavilion at the 2020 Venice Architectural Biennale.

On Wings of Words
An inspiring and kid-accessible biography of one of the world's most famous poets. Emily Dickinson, who famously wrote "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul," is brought to life in this moving story.

Pralesy a život v nich
V knihe Pralesy a život v nich sa autor venuje prirodzeným lesom ktoré sa obnovujú sami, bez ľudského zásahu, bez mrhania finančnými prostriedkami a ľudskými a technickými zdrojmi. Obnovujú sa z vlastných genetických zdrojov a ani jeden nový strom tam nie je „cudzí“.
Prirodzený les plní pritom mimo ďalších funkcií aj jednu mimoriadne dôležitú ochrannú funkciu – takmer v ňom nedochádza k erózii pôdy. Mŕtve stromy ponechané v prirodzenom lese prispievajú k rastu množstva pôdy a sú zdrojom výživy pre stovky druhov húb a domovom pre hmyz. V pralesoch našlo domov aj množstvo chránených živočíchov.
Vyberte sa preto spolu s nami na putovanie Slovenskom a navštívte jeho najzaujímavejšie pralesné lokality. Je ich 123 s výmerou viac ako 20 hektárov a na našej prechádzke vás zavedieme do sedemdesiat z nich. Ide najmä o tie, ktoré sú turisticky najprístupnejšie. Autor ich navštívil všetky a zachytil aj život, ktorý sa v nich odohráva. Učme sa pritom ich vnímať a počúvať a navštívené pralesy sa nám potom odvďačia pocitmi, ktoré možno ani nepoznáme.
Deväť návštev Číny
Odkedy Západ objavil, že na ďalekom Východe existuje jedna úžasná a v porovnaní s európskym spôsobom života úplne odlišná svetová kultúra, mnohých západných cestovateľov, ktorí sa ta vybrali, okamžite uchvátila svojou originalitou. Neskôr záujem o Čínu už len vzrastal, avšak žiaľ, nielen kultúrny, ale aj uchvatiteľský. 18. a 19. storočie sa stalo dejinami západného vydrancovania Číny a jej hospodárskeho zruinovania skoro až na dno. Ako lekár a farmakológ prišiel Dr. Pelikán do Číny koncom 90. rokov. Očarila ho natoľko, že sa objavovanie a dokumentovanie zaujímavých čínskych kultúrnych artefaktov, i nevídaných čínskych prírodných krás stalo jeho životnou vášňou.

The Pitfalls of Democracy and the Growth of Extremism and Populism in Europe
Predstavy o demokracii ako o najlepšom spôsobe usporiadania politického systému boli donedávna spájané s falošným pocitom istoty a uspokojením z neotrasiteľného postavenia euroatlantickej civilizácie a smerovania liberálnej demokracie k jej absolútnemu historickému víťazstvu. Autor sa snaží poukázať na riziká vytvárania takýchto falošných predstáv, ktoré ignorujú skutočnosť, že človek bude vždy žiť v neistom svete a nahrávajú ľahostajnosti a nezáujmu o veci verejné a reálne fungovanie demokracie. Narastajúci extrémizmus a populizmus, podceňovanie skúsenosti s ideologickými schémami nedávnej minulosti, zhoršujúci sa stav občianskej spoločnosti, prehlbovanie hospodárskej nerovnosti, strata individuálnej kontroly oslabujúca dôveru občanov v politický systém a nadnárodné korporácie, ktoré ovládajú ekonomiku mnohých krajín, ako i ďalšie narastajúce problémy na európskej i globálnej úrovni, sú jasnou odpoveďou na to, ako je nebezpečné považovať demokraciu za samozrejmosť. V práci je venovaná i pozornosť kritickému mysleniu a zodpovednosti človeka myslieť za seba samého a preberať osobnú zodpovednosť za svoje názory, rozhodnutia a skutky.

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World
"THE ULTIMATE DINOSAUR BIOGRAPHY," hails Scientific American: A sweeping and revelatory new history of the age of dinosaurs, from one of our finest young scientists.
"This is scientific storytelling at its most visceral, striding with the beasts through their Triassic dawn, Jurassic dominance, and abrupt demise in the Cretaceous." - Nature
The dinosaurs. Sixty-six million years ago, the Earth's most fearsome creatures vanished. Today they remain one of our planet's great mysteries. Now The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs reveals their extraordinary, 200-million-year-long story as never before.
In this captivating narrative (enlivened with more than seventy original illustrations and photographs), Steve Brusatte, a young American paleontologist who has emerged as one of the foremost stars of the field-naming fifteen new species and leading groundbreaking scientific studies and fieldwork-masterfully tells the complete, surprising, and new history of the dinosaurs, drawing on cutting-edge science to dramatically bring to life their lost world and illuminate their enigmatic origins, spectacular flourishing, astonishing diversity, cataclysmic extinction, and startling living legacy. Captivating and revelatory, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is a book for the ages.
Brusatte traces the evolution of dinosaurs from their inauspicious start as small shadow dwellers-themselves the beneficiaries of a mass extinction caused by volcanic eruptions at the beginning of the Triassic period-into the dominant array of species every wide-eyed child memorizes today, T. rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, and more. This gifted scientist and writer re-creates the dinosaurs' peak during the Jurassic and Cretaceous, when thousands of species thrived, and winged and feathered dinosaurs, the prehistoric ancestors of modern birds, emerged. The story continues to the end of the Cretaceous period, when a giant asteroid or comet struck the planet and nearly every dinosaur species (but not all) died out, in the most extraordinary extinction event in earth's history, one full of lessons for today as we confront a "sixth extinction."
Brusatte also recalls compelling stories from his globe-trotting expeditions during one of the most exciting eras in dinosaur research-which he calls "a new golden age of discovery"-and offers thrilling accounts of some of the remarkable findings he and his colleagues have made, including primitive human-sized tyrannosaurs; monstrous carnivores even larger than T. rex; and paradigm-shifting feathered raptors from China.
An electrifying scientific history that unearths the dinosaurs' epic saga, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs will be a definitive and treasured account for decades to come.
