To Please The Billionaire
The Annie Hill was never appreciated by boys. She was hard working, self-reliant and didn’t need a man. But lonely and venerable one night, she is approached by Jarvis. His wealthy employer wants to hire her as a dinner companion in exchange for a penthouse, a salary and a 5 figure wardrobe stipend. It’s an opportunity Annie can’t pass. But when Annie’s handsome, powerful benefactor offers her everything she could ever desire in exchange for her acceptance of a mysteriously gift, Annie finds herself in a secret world of unimaginable sexual pleasures, that changes her life forever. Serving the Billionaire:Rachel’s heart stopped when he entered the restaurant. He was rugged and sexy. His smile lit the room, but the darkness in his eyes hinted to more. Drawn her into his sports car, he sped her away to a world of luxury and privilege leaving all of her troubles behind. Rachel breathed in his passion like a drug. To leave him was like death; but to be with him was to dance with the demons. As He Desires:Rebecca Prichard wasn’t looking for love. She wasn’t looking for a good time. What she wanted more than anything was a job. But nearly broken by her difficulties, she made a deal with herself; at her friend’s wedding, she would become someone else. It was her uninhibited alter ego that first saw HIM. His sensual green eyes and the dark mystery that surrounded him tore open a crack in her. Craving his touch like a drug, she followed him into his limousine. And entering a world of dangerous sex, wealth and privilege, Rebecca’s life would change forever. Rescued by the Billionaire:Raven knows two things for sure: She stands in the dark, naked and bound by the wrists; and there is a powerful naked man with her seducing her mind as much as her body. Needing to know how she got there, Raven relives her life and death journey as a mysterious man from her past rescued her from a car crash off of a mountain cliff during the worst snow storm in 100 years. Unsure of who is now seducing her will, she must piece together her journey there in order to discover who she should run towards and who she must escape.
The Billionaire's Indecent Proposal:How many times have you looked around an airport terminal and wondered if one of those strangers could be “the one”? Sophie Specter didn’t have to wonder. When she lowered her magazine, there he was. He was tantalizingly mysterious and his devilish charm was inescapable. He would have been perfect except for the way he picked up on the things that a beautiful, small town girl tried to hide. But the heat between two gorgeous strangers is hard to ignore. In this moment, the secrets they both had didn’t have to matter. And staring into his sultry eyes for the first time, she could not have guessed how her life would change next.
Bred for the Billionaire’s Heir
Jasmine Cameron didn’t have enough experience in love to know what she didn’t want, but she knew what she did want; it was the sea swept, mysterious stranger whose steely eyes ignited her body and robbed her of her will. Drawn onto his yacht by his powerful allure, she wakes up on his private island engaged in a life changing sexual game at which he is the master and her submission is the prize. Bred for the Sheikh’s Heir

Process and Aesthetics
While Alfred North Whitehead did not dedicate any books or articles to aesthetics specifically, aesthetic motifs permeate his entire philosophical opus. Despite this, aestheticians have devoted little attention to Whitehead; most attempts to reconstruct Whitehead’s aesthetics have come from process philosophers, and even in that context aesthetics has never occupied a central position. In this book, four scholars of aesthetics provide another angle from which Whiteheadian aesthetics might be reconstructed. Paying special attention to the notion of aesthetic experience, the authors analyze abstraction versus concreteness, immediacy vs. mediation, and aesthetic contextualism vs. aesthetic isolationism. For their interpretation of Whiteheadian aesthetics, the concepts of creativity and rhythm are crucial. Using these concepts, the book interprets the motif of the processes by which experience is harmonized, the sensation of the quality of the whole, and directedness towards novelty.
The first chapter introduces Whitehead’s philosophical method of descriptive generalization. This method assumes that every philosophical system is based on a particular entry point. We show that for Whitehead this entry point was aesthetics. Chapter Two compares Whitehead and Dewey’s philosophies to show that both viewed aesthetic experience in terms of complex rhythms; this helps us better understand the differences and the continuities between everyday experience and art. Chapter Three compares Whitehead’s ideas with those of Henri Bergson, showing the way art reveals the form of immediate experience and how the aesthetic experience of art relates to truth. The final chapter details the processes that constitute aesthetic experience in a narrower sense, analyzing aesthetic experience from the perspective of the types of abstractive processes it involves and the complex types of experience it produces.

Seven Pillars of Science
John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things, shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, presents a tour of seven fundamental scientific truths that underpin our very existence.
These 'pillars of science' also defy common sense. For example, solid things are mostly empty space, so how do they hold together? There appears to be no special 'life force', so how do we distinguish living things from inanimate objects? And why does ice float on water, when most solids don't? You might think that question hardly needs asking, and yet if ice didn't float, life on Earth would never have happened.
The answers to all of these questions were sensational in their day, and some still are. Throughout history, science has been able to think the unthinkable - and Gribbin brilliantly shows the surprising secrets on which our understanding of life is based.
Naturalista
Profesor bioinformatiky Theo Cray vidí niečo aj tam, kde iní nevidia nič...
Do Theovej motelovej izby sa dobýjajú policajti. V srdci montanských hôr sa od nich dozvedá, že jeho bývalú študentku Juniper, ktorá neďaleko pracovala na vlastnom výskume, roztrhal medveď. Vlastne to mohlo byť aj inak, preto je Theo podozrivý z vraždy. Našťastie sa všetko vysvetlí, ale Theovi prípad akosi nedá pokoj a má pocit, že policajtom čosi uniká. Začne pátrať na vlastnú päsť a po čase je presvedčený, že hrozný čin nespáchalo zviera. Policajti však vôbec neberú do úvahy jeho teórie, že vrah je mimoriadne prefíkaný, zručný a určite neudrel prvý raz. Theo cíti, že záhadné a silné monštrum nezastaví nič, len on sám. Rozhodne sa naprogramovať počítačový model, ktorý by mu prezradil možné miesta predchádzajúcich, doteraz nezistených vrážd. Pomocou svojho programu rýchlo nájde ďalšiu mŕtvolu, potom ďalšiu a ďalšiu. Policajti mu však stále neveria. Theo je krok pred nimi a neváha použiť všetky svoje vedomosti a zručnosti, aby sa dostal vrahovi na stopu. Uvedomí si, že to zvládne len tak, ak bude premýšľať ako predátor, ktorého hľadá, a sám sa nestane jeho obeťou.

Prebiehajúci vojnový konflikt na Ukrajine má aj rozmer informačnej vojny, ktorá prekračuje územie zasiahnuté vojnou a negatívne ovplyvňuje celý svet. Masívna ruská propaganda a podsúvanie dezinformácií majú za cieľ spochybniť kto je vo vojnovom konflikte agresor a kto obeť a ospravedlňovať agresiu nasmerovanú aj voči civilnému obyvateľstvu a civilnej infraštruktúre Ukrajiny. V tejto súvislosti sa aj na Slovensku rozmohlo šírenie dezinformácií a podvodných statusov, ktorých účelom je zahmlievať a spochybňovať realitu, ovplyvňovať verejnú mienku a nahrávať ruskej propagande. Šírenie dezinformácií a tzv. „škodlivého obsahu“ ako prostriedku na vedenie hybridnej vojny je nesporne jednou z najnebezpečnejších foriem prebiehajúceho vojnového konfliktu a má veľký dosah na vnímanie reality obyvateľstvom.
Bratislava včera a dnes
V rámci novej edície Včera a dnes pripravilo vydavateľstvo DAJAMA prvú obrazovú publikáciu Bratislava – včera a dnes. Fotografia ako médium zobrazujúce realitu v určitom okamihu môže v dlhšom časovom úseku priniesť svedectvo napríklad aj o premenách miest či celých regiónov. Bratislava za posledných sto rokov je toho úžasným príkladom. Ako veľmi sa zmenila, kde zostala nedotknutá a z akých dôvodov sa tak stalo, ukazuje kniha fotografa Alana Hyžu a spisovateľa Daniela Heviera. Ponúka porovnanie historických pohľadníc so súčasnými fotografiami tých istých lokalít a prináša zamyslenie nad vynútenými či nevynútenými zmenami daných miest. Autori predstavujú mesto tak, ako ho videli fotografi a vydavatelia pohľadníc v prvej polovici 20. storočia, a tými istými miestami prechádzajú aj v roku 2014. Súbor 75 historických pohľadníc a 75 súčasných záberov spolu s krátkymi textami ponúka možnosť zastaviť sa a pouvažovať o prešporskom či bratislavskom genius loci.
The Witches' Blade
The second powerful novel in the Five Crowns of Okrith fantasy series brings us into a new part of the world as the fae princess Rua joins forces with a truly unlikely ally—all with the same romance and adventure readers have come to expect from A.K. Mulford’s viral sensation!
A magic sword. A powerful curse. An untested fae princess.
And a continent on fire...
Eighteen-year-old Ruadora Dammacus now possesses the Immortal Blade, a powerful artifact that might be enough to overthrow the cruel oppression threatening the land. Yet when Rua discovers the Northern Court King’s uncle is not only alive but has cast a spell on the blue witch army, she realizes that the battle is just beginning.
Venturing into the Northern Court, Rua finds herself working closely with the young Northern King. Her problems are mounting, and the handsome—and perhaps evil—king is only one of them. With the eyes of her newfound family on her, can Rua prove herself worthy of the Immortal Blade and break the curse over the blue witches, or will its magic be too difficult to control?
And, perhaps even more dangerous, is her growing connection to the Northern King and what that means for her people…and her heart.

If Charlotte reveals her secret, is there still a way to save the Inn?
Once Davis knows she’s a fraud, can he still find her desirable?
Is there any way their brand new love can withstand the heat in this kitchen?

Parenting Hell
What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?
And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?
Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.
