King of the World - The Life of Louis XIV
Louis XIV, King of France and Navarre, dominated his age. In the second half of the seventeenth century, he extended France's frontiers into the Netherlands and Germany, and established colonies in America, Africa and India. Louisiana, which once occupied a third of the territory of the present-day United States, is named after him.
Louis was also one of the greatest patrons of European history - Moliere, Racine, Lully, Le Brun, le Notre all worked for him. The stupendous palace he built at Versailles, and its satellites at Marly and Trianon, became the envy of monarchs all over Europe, frequently imitated but never surpassed. In all his palaces, Louis encouraged dancing, hunting, music and gambling. He loved conversation, especially with women: the power of women in Louis's life and reign is a particular theme of this book.
Louis was obsessed by the details of government, and travelled extensively around his kingdom, but often his choices for ministers and generals proved disastrous. After the death of his very able minister Colbert, the extraordinary cost of building palaces and waging continuous wars devastated French finances and helped set France on the path to revolution. In 1685, his decision to revoke toleration for Protestants damaged his country, and alienated Protestant Europe and at the end of his life, his forces were persistently defeated by the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy. Nevertheless, by his death, he had helped make his grandson king of Spain, where his descendants still reign, and France had taken essentially the shape it has today.
Philip Mansel's King of the World is much the most comprehensive and up-to-date biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure in English. It draws on all the latest research in France, Britain and America and pays special attention to the culture of the court, on which Mansel is an acknowledged expert. It is a convincing and compelling portrait of a man who, three hundred years after his death, still epitomises the idea of le grand monarque.

Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith
Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades on from the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine's forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable...and Luke's worst fears are confirmed when his old friend, Lando Calrissian, comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.
After his daughter was stolen from his arms, Lando searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor only led to dead ends and fading hopes-until he crossed paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.
Ochi's true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will give him answers to the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: return to Exegol with the key to the Sith's glorious rebirth-the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself, Rey.
As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith's lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.

The Antarctica of Love
They say you die three times.
The first time for me was when my heart stopped beating beneath his hands by the lake.
The second was when what was left of me was lowered into the ground in front of Ivan and Raksha at Bromma Church.
The third will be the last time my name is spoken on earth.
"A haunting portrait of the starkest meanings of love and family. Stridsberg's literary talent left me awestruck" Kate Reed Petty, author of True Story
"A disturbingly beautiful book" Expressen
Inni lives her life on the margins, but it is a life that is full and complex, filled with different shades of dark and light... Until she is brutally murdered one summer's day, on a lake shore at the heart of a distant, rain-washed forest.
On the surface, this is the story of the moment her life is violently extinguished - a moment that will never end, not ever - but it is also about the time before, and about the lives that carry on afterwards. It's about her children, her parents, her childhood of neglect, her volatile adolescence, and the chain of choices, tragedies and accidents that lead her to a life on the streets and take her into the wrong crowd, the wrong places and, finally, the wrong car with the wrong person.
Sara Stridsberg's new novel is about absolute vulnerability, brutality and isolation. At times disturbing, this is a devastating story of unexpected love, tenderness and light in the total darkness.

Civilní právo a nové technologie
Publikace Civilní právo a nové technologie zpracovává téma nových technologií v souvislostech civilního práva z několika úhlů pohledu. Předně se zabývá vztahem nových technologií a občanského práva hmotného, věnuje se i dalším odvětvím soukromého práva a rovněž zkoumá procesní souvislosti daného okruhu problematiky. Publikace upozorňuje na celou řadu zcela aktuálních otázek, jež analyzuje, a které v souvislosti s technologickým pokrokem (přirozeně) vznikají (kyberstalking, kyberšikana, ochrana spotřebitele na internetu, ochrana osobnosti ve virtuální realitě aj.). Současně ukazuje na možnosti, které nové technologie otevírají při úvahách o dalším rozvoji práva (jako jsou decentralizované autonomní organizace, smart contracty, digitální bankovnictví aj.), ale i právních procesů, které mohou tyto technologie využívat (elektronizace justice, formulářové žaloby, elektronizace exekuční činnosti aj.).
Záměrem publikace nebylo komplexně zpracovat veškeré aspekty vztahu nových technologií a civilního práva a vzájemného dopadu práva na nové technologie a naopak. Publikace přináší do odborného diskursu vybrané problematické a inspirativní otázky a snaží se de lege lata i de lege ferenda tyto otázky analyzovat a čtenáři „nasvítit“ cestu prozkoumávání aktuálního tématu nových technologií a civilního práva.
Publikace je tak určena právníkům praktikujícím a teoretizujícím, ale i studentům právnických fakult, kteří mají zájem zamýšlet se nad aktuálními problémy a výzvami práva. V publikaci předložené závěry mají mimo jiné ambice působit jak v rovině normotvorby, tak v právní praxi.

Zaistenie cudzincov
Slovenská republika sa po páde železnej opony v roku 1989 postupne stáva krajinou, kam prúdi stále viac cudzincov. Prichádzajú nielen utečenci, hľadajúci medzinárodnú ochranu pred prenasledovaním, ale aj cudzinci, pre ktorých je Slovenská republika iba tranzitnou krajinou na ich ceste do krajín západnej Európy - stále je však viac tých cudzincov, pre ktorých je cieľovou krajinou.
Na príliv cudzincov musela Slovenská republika nutne reagovať. Prijala všetky podstatné medzinárodné dokumenty týkajúce sa ochrany ľudských práv a azylovej problematiky. Je stranou Dohovoru o právnom postavení utečencov, Dohovoru o ochrane ľudských práv a základných slobôd, Dohovoru o právach dieťaťa a Dohovoru proti mučeniu a inému krutému, neľudskému alebo ponižujúcemu zaobchádzaniu. Túto matériu upravuje tiež Listina základných práv a slobôd a zákon o azyle.
Zaistenie cudzincov v podmienkach Slovenskej republiky upravoval zákon č. 48/2002 Z. z. o pobyte cudzincov, ktorý bol od 1. januára 2012 nahradený zákonom č. 404/2011 Z. z. o pobyte cudzincov.
K transpozícii Návratovej smernice 2008/115/ES zo 16. decembra 2008 došlo už v priebehu účinnosti predchádzajúceho zákona č. 48/2002 Z. z. o pobyte cudzincov. Slovenská republika bola jedným z prvých členských štátov EÚ, ktoré formálne splnili transpozičnú povinnosť, pričom úplná transpozícia tejto smernice bola zavŕšená 1. januárom 2012, a to nadobudnutím účinnosti práve zákona č. 404/2011 Z. z. o pobyte cudzincov.
K problematike cudzineckého práva na slovenskom trhu chýba nielen komentár k zákonu o pobyte cudzincov a odborné články, ale predovšetkým zhrnutie a analýza judikatúry ESĽP, SD EÚ a slovenských súdov so zameraním na judikatúru vo veciach zaistenia cudzincov.
S ohľadom na trojaký rozmer prameňov práva, ktoré upravujú zaistenie cudzincov, autorka predkladá publikáciu založenú na znalosti judikatúry ESĽP, SD EÚ a súdov Slovenskej republiky (Ústavného súdu SR a Najvyššieho súdu SR) s cieľom poskytnúť nielen odbornej, ale aj laickej verejnosti spracovanú databázu judikátov v oblasti zaistenia cudzincov doplnenú o komentár súvisiacich relevantných ustanovení zákona o pobyte cudzincov. Hlavným motívom publikácie je poukázať na niektoré výkladové trendy, ktorými najvyšší súd zákon o pobyte cudzincov, niektoré medzinárodné dohovory a právne predpisy EÚ vykladá, ale je aj pokusom o nabúranie zotrvačnosti v myslení slovenského právnika, ktorý sa často upína na text zákona č. 404/2011 Z. z. o pobyte cudzincov bez schopnosti vykladať ho vo svetle znalosti judikatúry ESĽP a textu EDĽP, resp. znalosti judikatúry SD EÚ a textu práva EÚ.

Zákon o ochranných známkach
Zákon o ochranných známkach nadobudol účinnosť 1. januára 2010 a svojou účinnosťou po dvanásťročnej existencii nahradil zákon č. 55/1997 Z. z. o ochranných známkach.
Právo ochranných známok je predmetom právnej úpravy aj v EÚ, ktorá sa na jednej strane snaží o harmonizáciu práva ochranných známok medzi členskými štátmi prostredníctvom smerníc, ktoré sú hlavnou príčinou novelizácií zákona o ochranných známkach, a o vytvorenie samostatného systému právnej ochrany ochrannej známky EÚ prostredníctvom nariadení so snahou harmonizovať podmienky právnej ochrany ochrannej známky EÚ s domácimi ochrannými známkami členských štátov EÚ. Jednou z hlavných harmonizačných zmien je vypustenie požiadavky na grafické znázornenie ochrannej známky v legislatívnych nástrojoch EÚ, ktoré sa premietli aj do národných právnych úprav, čím sa vytvára možnosť registrácie nových druhov ochranných známok, ktoré boli z dôvodu absencie možnosti ich grafického znázornenia odmietané najmä vnútroštátnymi orgánmi zodpovednými za registráciu ochranných známok.
Predkladaný komentár k súčasnému zákonu o ochranných známkach prináša výklad jednotlivých ustanovení, je doplnený súvisiacimi ustanoveniami a právnymi predpismi vnútroštátnej, únijnej aj medzinárodnej povahy, dôvodovou správou, judikatúrou súdov Slovenskej republiky, Českej republiky a judikatúrou Súdneho dvora EÚ. Je určený nielen širokej právnickej verejnosti, ale aj tým, ktorých práva a právom chránené záujmy zákon o ochranných známkach presadzuje, a v neposlednom rade aj študentom vysokých škôl v rámci štúdia práva duševného vlastníctva.
Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery
The Rose Bakery is a small Anglo-French restaurant, shop and bakery, tucked away in a street near the Gare du Nord in Paris. This book introduces this hidden gem and the philosophy and style of its creator Rose Carrarini to a wider audience for the first time. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 specially commissioned photographs, and featuring 100 of Rose's most popular recipes, this book is as much a treat for the eye as for the taste buds. The unique style and atmosphere of Rose Bakery, as well as the people who prepare, buy and eat the food that is made here, are captured in Toby Glanville's evocative photographs. The images show everything from the first preparations for breakfast and gearing up for the lunchtime rush to the final customers lingering over a piece of cake and a last cup of coffee in the late afternoon. Rose Carrarini became a pastry chef because neither she nor the customers of Villandry, the 'epicerie fine' she set up in London with her husband Jean-Charles in 1988, could find the pastries and desserts they wanted anywhere else. Now based in Paris, Rose has been serving simple, fresh and natural food that blurs the boundaries between home and restaurant cooking at Rose Bakery since 2002. Over 90 per cent of the products sold in the shop and served in the cafe are made on the premises with the best ingredients: Rose uses as much organic and locally sourced produce as possible, and has reduced the sugar content in her cake recipes to make them healthier without sacrificing flavour, texture or pleasure. Rose Carrarini's approach to food and hospitality has proved to be very popular with the locals, who crowd into the shop on weekdays, choosing from the lunchtime display of salads, vegetable tarts and pastries displayed on the shop's counter, and line up on weekend mornings for a full English breakfast or a plate of pancakes. This book will make the flavours and style of Rose Bakery accessible for people outside Paris, too.

The Invention of Sound
Chuck Palahniuk returns with the chilling tale, in classic Palahniuk tradition, of a father in search of his daughter, a young woman with a secret, and a malicious recording that can make "the whole world scream at the exact same time."
Private detective Foster Gates is a father is in search of his missing daughter, and sound engineer Mitzi harbors a secret that may help him solve the case. It's Mitzi's job to create the dubbed screams used in horror films and action movies. She's the best at what she does.
But what no one in Hollywood knows is the screams Mitzi produces are harvested from the real, horror-filled, blood-chilling screams of people in their death throes--a technique first employed by Mitzi's father and one she continues on in his memory--a deeply conflicted serial killer compelled beyond her understanding to honor her father's chilling legacy.
Soon Foster finds himself on Mitzi's trail. And in pursuit of her dark art, Mitzi realizes she's created the perfect scream, one that compels anyone who hears it to mirror the sound as long as they listen to it--a highly contagious seismic event with the potential to bring the country to its knees.
