Hranice v chodení
Ďalšia zo série kníh o hraniciach.
Chodenie je nádherné obdobie v živote dvoch ľudí. Táto kniha sa prakticky venuje mnohým otázkam, ktoré sa môžu objaviť aj pri vašom spoločnom spoznávaní sa.
Nájsť spoľahlivého a oddaného celoživotného partnera je skutočne ťažké – najmä preto, lebo ľudia spolu chodia spôsobom, ktorý im nepomáha v rozhodovaní sa k záväzku či k odchodu zo vzťahu. Veľmi často potom zažijú bolesť a utŕžia mnohé zranenia. Čas chodenia však tiež môže priniesť do života dospievajúceho človeka veľa dobrých vecí – okrem iného mu môže pomôcť pri jeho osobnom vývoji a dozrievaní.
Cieľom tejto knihy je pomôcť vám odhaliť tajomstvo úspešného chodenia a vyhnúť sa tak možným nástrahám vo vzťahoch.
Dr. Henry Cloud a Dr. John Townsend sú klinickí psychológovia, konzultanti, prednášatelia a autori mnohých populárnych kníh.

V slovenčine im vyšli knihy Hranice, Hranice v manželstve, Hranice a deti.

Posledný jednorožec
Odnepamäti žila jednorožka v lese, kam ani smrť nedočiahla svojimi pazúrmi. Panny, ktoré boli požehnané zazrieť aspoň záblesk jej krásy, zažili také očarenie, že naň nikdy nezabudli. Ale za hranicami jej zázračnej ríše sa šírili temné šepoty a zvesti, ktoré si nemohla nevšimnúť: „Zo sveta zmizli všetky jednorožce."
Za pomoci nešikovného kúzelníka a nezlomnej starej dievky sa vydáva zistiť pravdu o jednorožcoch. Každý jej krok však sprevádza strach, že ani jej nesmrteľná múdrosť nezmôže nič vo svete, kde kliatba šialeného kráľa a stelesnená hrôza jestvujú len preto, aby priviedli posledného jednorožca do záhuby...

Agent Running in the Field
Nat, a 47 year-old veteran of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, believes his years as an agent runner are over. He is back in London with his wife, the long-suffering Prue. But with the growing threat from Moscow Centre, the office has one more job for him.
Nat is to take over The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. The only bright light on the team is young Florence, who has her eye on Russia Department and a Ukrainian oligarch with a finger in the Russia pie.
Nat is not only a spy, he is a passionate badminton player.
His regular Monday evening opponent is half his age: the introspective and solitary Ed. Ed hates Brexit, hates Trump and hates his job at some soulless media agency. And it is Ed, of all unlikely people, who will take Prue, Florence and Nat himself down the path of political anger that will ensnare them all.
Agent Running in the Field is a chilling portrait of our time, now heartbreaking, now darkly humorous, told to us with unflagging tension by the greatest chronicler of our age.

Na dvore z hmly a besu (Na dvore z tŕňov a ruží 2)
Druhé pokračovanie fantasy série Na dvore z tŕňov a ruží od autorky série Trón zo skla je ešte temnejšie a fantastickejšie ako prvý diel.
Po tom, čo Feyre zachránila krajinu Prythian, si čitatelia mysleli, že zazvonil zvonec a rozprávky je koniec. Feyre sa ocitla v bezpečí, obklopená bohatstvom a luxusom, pripravená na sobáš s milovanými Tamlinom, aby žili šťastne až do smrti. Feyre nikdy netúžila po osude princeznej z rozprávok, na rozdiel od svojich sestier. Feyre sa v nočných morách vracia k boju s Amaranthou, pri ktorom položila svoj ľudský život, a tým zlomila kliatbu, získala nesmrteľnosť a schopnosti férov. Doteraz nedokáže zabudnúť na hrôzy, ktoré zažila pri oslobodení Tamlina, ani na zmluvu s Rhysom, lordom Nočného dvora. Prečo sa nedokáže vložiť do obnovy Jarného dvora? Prečo sa cíti vždy naplnená, iba keď je s Rhysom? Na to nedokáže prísť ani sama. Feyre musí rýchlo spoznať svoje nové nesmrteľné telo a schopnosti, o ktorých dlho ani netušila. Na obzore sa totiž prebúdza prastarý nepriateľ, oveľa nebezpečnejší ako Amarantha, ktorý má na muške svet ľudí aj férov.

Lacná kniha Age of Anger (-50%)
'The kind of vision the world needs right now...Pankaj Mishra shouldn't stop thinking' Christopher de Bellaigue, Financial Times 'This is the most astonishing, convincing, and disturbing book I've read in years' Joe Sacco 'Urgent, profound and extraordinarily timely' John Banville How can we explain the origins of the great wave of paranoid hatreds that seem inescapable in our close-knit world - from American 'shooters' and ISIS to Trump, from a rise in vengeful nationalism across the world to racism and misogyny on social media? In Age of Anger, Pankaj Mishra answers our bewilderment by casting his gaze back to the eighteenth century, before leading us to the present. He shows that as the world became modern those who were unable to fulfil its promises - freedom, stability and prosperity - were increasingly susceptible to demagogues. The many who came late to this new world or were left, or pushed, behind, reacted in horrifyingly similar ways: intense hatred of invented enemies, attempts to re-create an imaginary golden age, and self-empowerment through spectacular violence.It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the 19th century arose - angry young men who became cultural nationalists in Germany, messianic revolutionaries in Russia, bellicose chauvinists in Italy, and anarchist terrorists internationally. Today, just as then, the wider embrace of mass politics, technology, and the pursuit of wealth and individualism has cast many more millions adrift in a literally demoralized world, uprooted from tradition but still far from modernity - with the same terrible results Making startling connections and comparisons, Age of Anger is a book of immense urgency and profound argument. It is a history of our present predicament unlike any other.

Belladonna (slovenský)
Kým žije, ostatní budú umierať
Devätnásťročná Signa nie je obyčajné dievča. Ešte ako dieťa osirela, vidí duchov a rozpráva sa so smrťou. Vychovávali ju viacerí tútori, no všetci sa viac zaujímali o bohatstvo, ktoré má zdediť, než o jej dobro. A všetci zomreli záhadne a priskoro. Signinými poslednými žijúcimi príbuznými sú Hawthornovci, výstredná rodina obývajúca sídlo Thorn Grove. Hoci je jej nový domov veľkolepý, obklopuje ho pochmúrnosť. Otec rodiny zaháňa zármutok za zosnulou manželkou na divokých večierkoch, kým jeho dcéra trpí záhadnou chorobou a syn sa snaží napraviť pošramotenú rodinnú povesť. Vtedy sa Signe zjaví zo záhrobia ich matka a tvrdí, že ju otrávili. Uvedomí si, že rodine hrozí veľké nebezpečenstvo a že vraha vypátra len vtedy, ak spojí sily so smrťou. Signa nesmie dovoliť, aby jej osobná kliatba opäť niekoho pripravila o život. No zväzok so smrťou má takú silnú moc, o akej sa jej ani len nesnívalo.
A ona jej nedokáže odolať.

Lacná kniha Beating of His Wings (-70%)
The Beating of his Wings by Paul Hoffman is the final instalment in his epic Cale and the Sanctuary of Redeemers series.
Thomas Cale has been running from the truth.
Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose - to destroy God's greatest mistake, mankind itself - Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.
Cale is a paradox: arrogant and innocent, generous and pitiless. Feared and revered by those created him, he has already used his breathtaking talent for destruction to bring down the most powerful civilisation in the world.
But Thomas Cale is weak. His soul is dying. As his body is wracked with convulsions he knows that the final judgment will not wait for a sick boy. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale's sense of vengeance leads him back to the Sanctuary - and to confront the person he hates most in the world. Finally Cale must recognise that he is the incarnation of God's rage and decide if he will stand against the Sanctuary of the Redeemers and use his unique skill of laying waste to all things.
The fate of mankind rests on Cale's decision.
The Beating of his Wings is the third and final instalment in Paul Hoffman's epic Cale and the Sanctuary of the Redeemers trilogy, following The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things. Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials meets Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, and fans of epic heroic fiction will love this series.
Praise for Paul Hoffman:
'This book gripped me from the first chapter and then dropped me days later, dazed and grinning to myself' Conn Iggulden
'Tremendous momentum' Daily Telegraph
'A cult classic . . .' Daily Express
Paul Hoffman is the author of four previous novels: the two previous Thomas Cale titles, as well as The Golden Age of Censorship, a black comedy based on his experiences as a film censor and The Wisdom of Crocodiles, which predicted the collapse of the world financial system.

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions-suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.
The Trading Game
An outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of an intoxicating world - from someone who survived the trading game and then blew it all wide open
'If you were gonna rob a bank, and you saw the vault door there, left open, what would you do? Would you wait around?
Ever since he was a kid, kicking broken footballs on the streets of East London in the shadow of Canary Wharf's skyscrapers, Gary wanted something better. Something a whole lot bigger.
Then he won a competition run by a bank: 'The Trading Game'. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life, as the youngest trader in the whole city. A place where you could make more money than you'd ever imagined. Where your colleagues are dysfunctional maths geniuses, overfed public schoolboys and borderline psychopaths, yet they start to feel like family. Where soon you're the bank's most profitable trader, dealing in nearly a trillion dollars. A day. Where you dream of numbers in your sleep - and then stop sleeping at all.
But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? When the easiest way to make money is to bet on millions becoming poorer and poorer - and, as the economy starts slipping off a precipice, your own sanity starts slipping with it? You want to stop, but you can't. Because nobody ever leaves.
Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?
Lacná kniha The Visible World (-70%)
'My mother knew a man during the war. Theirs was a love story, and like any good love story, it left blood on the floor and wreckage in its wake.' As a boy growing up in New York, the narrator's parents' memories of their Czech homeland seem to belong to another world, as distant and unreal as the fairy tales his father tells him. It is only as an adult, when he makes his own journey to Prague, that he is finally able to piece together the truth of his parents' past: what they did, whom his mother loved, and why they were never able to forget.
