The Fall of Boris Johnson
The Fall of Boris Johnson is the fascinating full account of how the prime minister lost his grip on power.
Sebastian Payne, Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times, tells the essential behind-the-scenes story, charting the series of scandals that felled Johnson: from the blocked suspension of Owen Paterson to Partygate, and, finally, the Chris Pincher allegations, which were the final death blow. This is the full narrative of the betrayals, rivalries and resignations that led to the dramatic Conservative coup.
With unparalleled access to those who were in the room when key decisions were made, Payne tells of the miscalculations and mistakes that led to Boris’s downfall, only two years after he first entered No.10 Downing Street. This is a gripping and timely look at how power is gained, wielded and lost in Britain today.

Lacná kniha How Not To Be Wrong : The Hidden Maths of Everyday
The maths we learn in school can seem like an abstract set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In fact, Jordan Ellenberg shows us, maths touches on everything we do, and a little mathematical knowledge reveals the hidden structures that lie beneath the world's messy and chaotic surface. In How Not to be Wrong, Ellenberg explores the mathematician's method of analyzing life, from the everyday to the cosmic, showing us which numbers to defend, which ones to ignore, and when to change the equation entirely. Along the way, he explains calculus in a single page, describes Godel's theorem using only one-syllable words, and reveals how early you actually need to get to the airport.

Bowie David - Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders (50th Anniversary Edition) 2CD+BD
David Robert Jones (8. januára 1947 – 10. januára 2016), profesionálne známy ako David Bowie bol anglický spevák, skladateľ a herec. Popredná osobnosť v hudobnom priemysle je považovaný za jedného z najvplyvnejších hudobníkov 20. storočia. Bowie bol uznávaný kritikmi a hudobníkmi, najmä pre jeho inovatívnu prácu v 70. rokoch. Jeho kariéra bola poznačená reinvenciou a vizuálnou prezentáciou a jeho hudba a scénické umenie mali významný vplyv na populárnu hudbu.
V londýnskom Hammersmith Odeone ohromil David Bowie 5000 fanúšikov tým, že sa rozlúčil so Ziggym Stardustom, jeho najznámejším alter-egom. Teraz, pri spomienke na 50. výročie predstavenia, bude po prvý raz uvedený starostlivo zreštaurovaný film a soundtrack. Filmár D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Bob Dylan – Don't Look Back, Depeche Mode – 101) zachytil túto historickú príležitosť a zdokumentoval Bowieho a The Spiders From Mars v zákulisí aj na pódiu. Film teraz prešiel digitálnou obnovou 4K pod dohľadom jeho syna Frazera Pennebakera s remastrovaným zvukom.Napriek tomu, že bol nakrútený pred polstoročím, film zostal viac ako desaťročie prevažne nevidený. Avšak film a jeho soundtrack boli nanovo remastrované s mixom 'The Jean Genie/Love Me Do' a 'Round And Round' s legendárnym Jeffom Beckom – táto skladba sa vôbec prvýkrát objavila. Obe predstavenia novo namiešal dlhoročný Bowieho spolupracovník Tony Visconti.Počas šou Bowie predniesol svoj ikonický prejav tesne pred záverečným prídavkom „Rock 'n' Roll Suicide“, v ktorom prekvapil všetkých, vrátane členov svojej kapely, odhalením odchodu svojej osobnosti Ziggy Stardust. Toto významné oznámenie bolo prvým svojho druhu v histórii rock and rollu.

The Little Book of Joy
Joy is the warm tingly feeling of the sun tickling your toes in the morning.
It's the giggly, squiggly feeling when you are doing something silly.
Even when you wake to the rain and your joy is washed away, it's waiting at the bottom of the puddle.
This is the story of two friends: the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Once two lonely boys on opposite sides of the world, they grew up to discover the joy in everyday life and spread their joy with the people around them.
Their message for every child is that joy is never far away. Even in hard times, joy never truly disappears. And when we share our joy with others, it grows inside us.
This picture book adaptation of the international bestseller, The Book of Joy, is full of the humour, friendship, and deep affection between two spiritual leaders. In challenging times, it is a timely reminder that joy is all around us, if only we know where to look.
Vibrantly illustrated by award-winning Rafael Lopez, this is the perfect book to reassure and inspire young readers everywhere.

The Matter of Everything
How did a piece a gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms?
What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays?
How did the experiments in the run-up to the Large Hadron Collider lead to the invention of the World Wide Web?
Asking questions has always been at the heart of physics, our unending quest to understand the Universe and how everything in it behaves. How do we know all that we know about the world today? It's not simply because we have the maths - it's because we have done the experiments.
In The Matter of Everything, accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the people who, through a combination of genius, persistence and luck, staged the ground-breaking experiments of the twentieth century that changed the course of history. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), to the race to split open the atom, Sheehy shows how our most brilliant, practical physicists have shaped innumerable aspects of how we live today. Radio, TV, the chips in our smartphones, MRI scanners, radar equipment and microwaves, to name a few: these were all made possible by their determination to understand, and control, the microscopic.
Pulling physics down from the theoretical and putting it in the hands of the people, The Matter of Everything is a fascinating expedition through the surprising, and occasionally accidental, experiments that transformed our world, and a celebration of the creative and curious people behind them.
