There's No Such Thing As Humans
Grub is a little monster with a big problem – he's absolutely terrified of humans, especially the one his brother says lives under his bed.
Grub's mum says there's no such thing as humans, but even so, they must never go to the edge of the forest. That's fine by Grub, until his brother dares him. He can't refuse a double dare, can he?
Will Grub find humans at the edge of the forest … or something even worse?

Mushroom Farming
Mushroom farming has become very popular worldwide owing to the fact that mushroom farming is relatively easy and requires less space and less investment. Economic returns on investment are also high in mushroom farming. Mushroom farming is an attractive low-cost entrepreneurial option because mushrooms can successfully be grown by using even primitive farming technologies. This low technology approach to mushroom farming may be one of the reasons behind its popularity as a small scale farm enterprise.

Twisted Love 1: Láska na ostří nože
Má srdce z ledu... ale pro ni by spálil celý svět.
Alex Volkov je ďábel s tváří anděla a s prokletou minulostí, jíž nemůže uniknout.
Jeho úsilí je poháněno tragédií, která ho pronásleduje po většinu života, a jeho bezohledná honba za úspěchem a pomstou mu nechává jen málo prostoru pro srdeční záležitosti.
Když je však okolnostmi přinucen postarat se o sestru svého nejlepšího přítele, začne na hrudi cítit něco nečekaného:
Prasklinu.
Tání.
Oheň, který by mohl jeho svět převrátit vzhůru nohama.
Ava Chenová je svobodná duše uvězněná nočními můrami pocházejícími z dětství, na které si nevzpomíná.
Navzdory své zlomené minulosti však nikdy nepřestala vidět na světě krásu... včetně srdce pod ledovou slupkou muže, jehož by nikdy neměla chtít.
Je to nejlepší kamarád jejího bratra.
Její soused.
Její zachránce i její zkáza.
Ti dva se do sebe nikdy neměli zamilovat – ale když se to stalo, na světlo světa vyšla tajemství, která by mohla zničit vše, co je jim drahé.
Twisted Love je román o tom, jak se protiklady přitahují, a má v sobě prvek napětí. Jedná se o první knihu ze série Twisted, ale lze ji číst i samostatně.

Lacná kniha Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! (-70%)
Knihu Plnou parou vpred, Timmy! nakreslil v polovici päťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia Jim Downer a verše k obrázkom napísal slávny anglický básnik Ted Hughes. Kniha sa dlhý čas sa považovala za stratenú, ale roku 2008 sa ju podarilo objaviť v Hughesovej pozostalosti a vydať. Knihu predkladáme čitateľom ako faksimile nádherných pôvodných ilustrácií v preklade Jána Gavuru.
Timmy bol parník a vlečná loď, jagal sa ako gong,
plavil sa po rieke, spod kolies hrala mu muzika.
Zdravý bol, rybička, silnejší než Kráľ Kong,
mal nový náter a drevo bez jediného červíka.
Takto sa začína podmanivý príbeh Timmyho, zabudnutého riečneho parníka, ktorý sa jedného dňa sa rozhodne utiecť zo zátoky a preskúmať šíre moria. Timmy má srdce na správnom mieste a chce pomáhať, no dlho akoby o jeho pomoc nikto nestál. Až kým mu osud do ceste nepriveje nádhernú plachetnicu, ktorú treba zachrániť z pazúrov hroznej búrky.
Čo myslíte, podarí sa mu to, nájde znova svoje stratené sebavedomie?

Our Missing Hearts
Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books in Harvard's library. He knows not to ask too many questions, stand out too much, stray too far. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve 'American culture' in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic - including the work of Bird's mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old.
Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn't know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn't wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is drawn into a quest to find her. His journey will take him through the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the children who have been taken, and finally to New York, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change.
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can turn a blind eye to the most searing injustice. It's a story about the power - and limitations - of art to create change in the world, the lessons and legacies we pass onto our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact.
The Trio
Elegant, mature and richly atmospheric, a bittersweet love story glimpsed through the veil of memory
Thora, August and Hugo come from different worlds. One is an art school dreamer, one a wealthy scion of the old-world elite, and one an ordinary boy from out of town. But over the course of two sky-blue summers in Stockholm, they are drawn together magnetically.
Years later, Hugo is long estranged from Thora and August when their daughter knocks on his door. She has questions about her parents which she believes Hugo can answer - and the memories of those luminous days of youth come flooding back.
Modern yet timeless, poignant and euphoric, The Trio is a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become, and the relationships which shape and haunt us long after they come to a close.
Mama Mammals
A beautiful, fact-filled picture book by vet and writer Cathy Evans which is the perfect introduction to reproduction in the natural world for children.
This stunningly presented science book explains the facts of life by looking at sex and reproduction in mammal species. Through short, concise texts and warm, engaging illustrations, we learn about fertilisation, gestation, birth, breastfeeding and early parenting across the mammalian order. Did you know that, unlike other mammals, whale calves are born tail first, so that the mother can push them to the surface to breathe as soon as they emerge? Or that echidnas do not have nipples? Their young lick milk that seeps from pores in their chests.
Easy to engage with for kids as young as four, this is a convenient, informative and enjoyable way of learning about babies and where they come from.
Guilty Not Guilty
It is said that everyone over a certain age can remember distinctly what they were doing when they heard that President Kennedy had been assassinated, or that Princess Diana had been killed in a Paris car crash, but I, for one, could recall all too clearly where I was standing when a policeman told me that my wife had been murdered.
Bill Russell is acting as a volunteer steward at Warwick races when he confronts his worst nightmare - the violent death of his much-loved wife. But worse is to come when he is accused of killing her and hounded mercilessly by the media. His life begins to unravel completely as he loses his job and his home. Even his best friends turn against him, believing him guilty of the heinous crime in spite of the lack of compelling evidence.
Bill sets out to clear his name but finds that proving one's innocence is not easy - one has to find the true culprit, and Bill believes he knows who it is. But can he prove it before he becomes another victim of the murderer.
Guilty Not Guilty is a journey of greed and jealousy set against the grief of personal tragedy and loss, with many a twist and turn along the way.

Coding for Kids Ages 9-15
Are you looking to teach children how to code? Or are you looking to start coding?
This book on beginner html and JavaScript is the answer.
For the last couple of years, the news keeps talking about the digital economy and how everyone needs programmers. It seems like everyone wants to learn how to code. However, it is not that easy. Coding is a skill; and like any skill it takes time to learn. Like any skill, the younger you start; the better you get.
From my personal experience with coding and also with teaching young kids how to code, let me tell you that coding is a lot of fun and extremely gratifying.
It teaches you how to organize, think logically, communicate, work in teams and be more creative.
However, programming can be hard to learn. Especially if you start reading advanced books. You need a step-by-step guide to get started. This book starts off with the very basics; how to install the software, set up and write your first lines of code. There are exercises at the end of each chapter that can test your new found knowledge and move you ahead.
And then, we get you a few more advanced skills that can get you started making websites.
Even if you've never touched a computer in your life, you will find this book useful.

Půlnoční výprodej
Rodina Priceových se po celé generace věnuje zkoumání monster z celého světa a snaží se je chránit před lidmi – a lidi před nimi. Verity Priceová je od narození vedená k práci kryptozooložky, ačkoli by raději tančila tango, než se zaplétala s démony. Když ji její práce s komunitou kryptidů zavála na Manhattan, myslela si, že jí konečně nic nebude bránit v účasti na prestižních tanečních soutěžích. Jenže ono to dopadlo trochu jinak…
Nyní, když Verity vyřešila problém hadího kultu, který zabíjel panny z celého Manhattanu, je připravena vrhnout se po hlavě do společenského tance. Ovšem jen do chvíle, než ji Dominic De Luca – její chvíli přítel, chvíli expřítel a také člen Úmluvy svatého Jiří, zaměřené na lov monster – informuje, že Úmluva je na cestě na Manhattan. Lidé z Úmluvy si chtějí ověřit, že je vše připraveno na čistku, jež má město zbavit kryptidů. V sázce jsou všichni a všechno, co Verity miluje, a tak rozhodně nehodlá čekat se založenýma rukama.
Spojenectví projde tvrdou zkouškou, spojenci upadnou v pochybnost, přijdou ztráty na životech a mluvící myši ve Veritině bytě to všechno zvěční jako Písmo svaté – pokud ovšem zůstane kámen na kameni, až bude po všem. Je tu půlnoční výprodej a se slevou si dnes můžete zakoupit zradu, faleš… a masakr.
Inside the Third Reich (EN)
Germany in the early 1930s is falling apart. The population is disillusioned, poverty is spreading, and unemployment is everywhere. Many Germans see Adolf Hitler as the only man who can pull the country out of crisis. The Nazi leader’s promise of bread and work for the people makes him popular, and his demands for revenge for the humiliating peace terms after World War I find a sympathetic audience.

Krátko po vypuknutí apokalypsy traja ľudia hľadajú, ako sa dostať zo všeobecného chaosu. Lekárku a nastávajúcu matku Lilu tak veľmi zasiahne rozšírenie epidémie a násilia, že sa radšej zatvára pred svetom a pripravuje sa na príchod dieťaťa, kým spoločnosť okolo nej sa rúca. Kittridgea, známeho pod prezývkou Posledná denverská bašta, donútili okolnosti opustiť svoju pevnosť a vydať sa na cestu autom pomedzi nakazených len s niekoľkými zbraňami a plnou nádržou. Stredoškoláčka April bojuje, aby ochránila mladšieho brata v krajine plnej smrti a rozkladu. Títo traja zistia, že nie sú sami a že práve súdržnosť im dodá nádej aj v najtmavšej noci.

Nepriateľ sa vyvinul do novej podoby a nová temná sila chystá svetu niečo oveľa desivejšie ako vykynoženie všetkého živého. Za porazenie Dvanástky bude musieť niekto zo statočných bojovníkov zaplatiť najvyššiu cenu.
Dvanástka je majstrovsky napísaný, dych vyrážajúci príbeh o prežití a sebaobetovaní.

As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow
An epic, emotional, breathtaking story of love and loss set amid the Syrian revolution. Burning with the fires of hope and possibility, AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW will sweep you up and never let you go.
A year ago, before the revolution, Salama watched her brother marry her best friend, Layla, and wondered when her own love story might begin. Now she works at the hospital – helping those she can, closing the eyes of those she can't. Layla and her unborn baby are all Salama has left.
Unless you count Khawf. But he's a hallucination; a symptom of the horrors she's seen. Every day he urges Salama to leave. Every day she refuses.
Until she crosses paths with Kenan, the boy with the vivid green eyes, who wants to stay and risk his life for everything Syria could be …
The Hedgehog And The Fox
The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.
For Isaiah Berlin, there is a fundamental distinction in mankind: those who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things - foxes - and those who relate everything to a central all-embracing system - hedgehogs. It can be applied to the greatest creative minds: Dante, Ibsen and Proust are hedgehogs, while Shakespeare, Aristotle and Joyce are foxes.
Yet when Berlin reaches the case of Tolstoy, he finds a fox by nature, but a hedgehog by conviction; a duality which holds the key to understanding Tolstoy's work, illuminating a paradox of his philosophy of history and showing why he was frequently misunderstood by his contemporaries and critics.
