The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land
A divorced con-artist and his young daughter sell empty bottles of 'holy' air to credulous tourists.
In a bombed-out Beirut radio station, a Lebanese Scheherazade enchants three young soldiers with her nightly tales.
Ahead of a school 'Show and Tell', two brothers kidnap a Shoah survivor from a supermarket to pose as their grandfather.
An Israeli volunteer at a West Bank checkpoint mourns the death of her son, a soldier killed in Gaza.
From the limestone alleyways of Jerusalem to the desolate Negev Desert and the sprawling orange groves of Jaffa, Omer Friedlander's stories are fairy tales turned on their head by the stakes of real life, where moments of fragile intimacy mix with comedy and notes of the absurd.
Casting his eye, not on the region's conflicts, but on the hopes and failures of its people, The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land is at times darkly funny, at others quietly devastating.

Lacná kniha Primer of Happiness 3. - Adults to kids, kids to the world
The third part of the Primer of happiness is not intended only for parents that are looking for a way, with what form to give their descendants the best, but also for souls that want to understand why there are fears in them, why they act the way they act, or they are not successful in something. The key to life pains is located in their childhood. In the way how we were approached, what we saw, feel, experience and absorb in ourselves from the moment of procreation until growing up.
“He who teaches, he learns. Let´s thank for children, they are not a mater of course but a gift. They came to heal us and show us where we have in ammation.“
I was tucking in the shirt of my three years old Sára Ráchel and I told her: “So your small of the back would not get cold…” She looked at me and she said:
“Daddy, I do not have small of the back there, I have wings there.”
You cannot give a child something, that is not in you. – Constant criticizing is the confession of how discontent you are with yourselves, as well as shouting is the expression of your inner pain and helplessness. – A child’s soul is like savana. One sentence is enough to set it on re. – You cannot force children to take on your values. They will take only what they will need in their life mission. – Do not do anything on child´s
behalf, that the child can do itself. You will weaken the child. – Every kid has a powerful Self and the more you will try to break it the longer the child will look for itself as an adult. – The children resonate with what is happening in parents. – Your children do not have to follow in your footsteps and how your parents will end, is their decision. You only have to try to support them.
Author:
What is in our parents, that is who we are. If we do not clean ourselves from negative clan´s debts, our kids will take it on. Unsolved wrong programs and energy taking models of behaviour will get stuck on them. There is no kid that would not be born wise, perceptive, joyful, full of energy, intuitive, nonstop living in the present moment, unchained, happy, godly, so with the characteristics of enlightened people. But if you ask me when I met a permanently happy adult the last time, I will think for a long time… So I take the education of kids as mutual learning – to be inspired by kids to the comeback to Self, own spontaneity, heart that is the connection with Love. On the other side the education of children is for me an e ort to load kids with unconditional love and set them boundaries with respect towards them, without superior approach, so in
the adulthood they will feel and perceive the needs of others. Simply give them the best from myself.

The Wolf and the Woodsman
Stories don't have to be true to be real...
In her forest-veiled pagan village, Evike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king's blood sacrifice, Evike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered.
But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Evike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman - he's the disgraced prince, Gaspar Barany, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gaspar fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gaspar understands what it's like to be an outcast, and he and Evike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother.
As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Evike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar need to decide whose side they're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

The Beatles
Tato kniha je zcela nové ilustrované vydání nejprodávanější autorizované biografie The Beatles doplněné o nejnovější informace. Více než třicet let po prvním vydání a přes miliony slov, která byla od té doby o The Beatles publikována, je tato podrobná kniha Huntera Daviese stále jedinou autorizovanou biografií nejlegendárnější a nejvlivnější popové skupiny. Hunter Davies jako první a poslední spisovatel, který měl neomezený přístup ke všem čtyřem členům legendárních Beatles a jemuž se od nich dostalo plné podpory a pomoci, s nimi v letech 1967–68 strávil osmnáct měsíců, když byli jako skupina hudebně na vrcholu, a sbíral materiál, který dle Marshalla McLuhana vytvoří "dokument našeho století".
Autor strávil čas jak s The Beatles, tak dělal rozhovory s mnoha jejich blízkými přáteli a kamarády, kolegy, bývalými členy kapely, manželkami a bývalými manželkami. Jeho fascinující kniha zachycuje skupinu na vrcholu úspěchu, a to, jak se dostala do popředí veřejného zájmu, vysvětluje autentickými slovy jednotlivých členů skupiny či slovy těch, kteří s nimi tenkrát tento fenomenální úspěch prožívali.
Hunter Davies zůstal přítelem The Beatles i poté, co původní kniha vyšla, což mu umožnilo, aby knihu doplnil o rozsáhlou závěrečnou kapitolu, popisující, jak a proč se skupina rozpadla, zároveň tak mohl popsat nejnovější osudy a vývoj jejích členů a smrt Johna Lennona. Také odhaluje, jak byla tato kniha sepsaná a uvádí příběhy, které v prvním vydání uvést nemohl.Toto nové vydání Daviesova nepopiratelně celosvětového bestselleru je poprvé v hojné míře ilustrované a obsahuje dodatečně přidané fotografie, které nemohly být publikovány v roce 1968.
V revidovaném úvodu autor pohlíží na skutečnost, jak The Beatles a jejich hudba nadále ovlivňují miliony lidí na celém světě, říká nám, co stále žijící členové kapely dělali v letech po posledním vydání této práce, a zachycuje i smrt George Harrisona. Toto je zcela nepostradatelné čtení pro všechny fanoušky The Beatles, pro ty starší – i pro ty nové.

Lacná kniha The Maths of Life and Death
Maths is the story of the world around us, and the wisdom it gives us can be the difference between success and disaster.
We are all doing maths all the time, from the way we communicate with each other to the way we travel, from how we work to how we relax. Many of us are aware of this. But few of us really appreciate the full power of maths - the extent to which its influence is not only in every office and every home, but also in every courtroom and hospital ward.
In this eye-opening and extraordinary book, Yates explores the true stories of life-changing events in which the application - or misapplication - of mathematics has played a critical role: patients crippled by faulty genes and entrepreneurs bankrupted by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice and the unwitting victims of software glitches. We follow stories of investors who have lost fortunes and parents who have lost children, all because of mathematical misunderstandings.
Along the way, Yates arms us with simple mathematical rules and tools that can help us make better decisions in our increasingly quantitative society. You will discover why it's always sensible to question a statistic, often vital to ask for a second opinion and sometimes surprisingly handy to stick to the 37% rule...

The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974: Volume 12
The 12th volume of Peanuts features a number of tennis strips and several extended sequences involving Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie (including a riotous, rarely seen sequence in which Marcie's costume-making and hairstyling skills utterly spoil a skating competition for PP), so it seems only right that this volume's introduction should be served up by Schulz's longtime friend, tennis champion (and 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient) Billie Jean King.
This volume also picks up on a few loose threads from the previous year, as the mysterious "Poochie" shows up in the flesh; Linus and Lucy's new kid brother "Rerun" makes his first appearance, is almost immediately drafted onto the baseball team (where, thanks to his tiny strike zone, he wins a game), and embarks on his first terrifying journey on the back of his mom's bike; and, in one of Peanuts' oddest recurring storylines, the schoolhouse Sally used to talk to starts talking, or at least thinking, back at her!
The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974 also includes one of the all-time classic Peanuts sequences, in which Charlie Brown's baseball-oriented hallucinations finally manifest themselves in a baseball-shaped rash on his head. Forced to conceal the embarrassing discoloration with a bag worn over his head, Charlie Brown goes to camp as "Mister Sack" and discovers that, shorn of his identity, he's suddenly well liked and successful.

Architecture at the Heart of the Home
Increasingly, domestic architecture has sought to enhance everyday life by providing resonant settings that reflect the human need for comfort, safety and connection. A house has walls and ceilings, and perhaps a garden, but beyond that, there is always that one part of a home that becomes a place of belonging, around which people gather.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home showcases those special places and features that make a residence unique. Of course, there are kitchen and dining areas, but a home's heart can also be the physical link between the interior and the exterior, a view, a particular room, or even an architectural feature: a pool that reflects the sky overhead, windows that frame a panoramic vista, or a building's position in the landscape.
The projects in this book are not necessarily grand in scale, but all reveal extraordinary settings that fill the heart with joy and the soul with happiness - the places where memories are made.

The Powerful and the Damned
The real scoop isn't on the front page
'As FT editor, I was a privileged interlocutor to people in power around the world, each offering unique insights into high-level decision-making and political calculation, often in moments of crisis. These diaries offer snapshots of leadership in an age of upheaval...'
Lionel Barber was Editor of the Financial Times for the tech boom, the global financial crisis, the rise of China, Brexit, and mainstream media's fight for survival in the age of fake news.
In this unparalleled, no-holds-barred diary of life behind the headlines, he reveals the private meetings and exchanges with political leaders on the eve of referendums, the conversations with billionaire bankers facing economic meltdown, exchanges with Silicon Valley tech gurus and pleas from foreign emissaries desperate for inside knowledge, all against the backdrop of a wildly shifting media landscape.
The result is a fascinating - and at times scathing - portrait of power in our modern age; who has it, what it takes and what drives the men and women with the world at their feet. Featuring close encounters with Trump, Cameron, Blair, Putin, Merkel and Mohammed Bin Salman and many more, this is a rare portrait of the people who continue to shape our world and who quite literally, make the news.
