Civilizace a mravnost
Žijeme jakoby v „turbulentní době“: Hledá se a stále nenachází viník či příčina dnešní globální civilizační krize. Politici všech zaměření se scházejí na velkých a finančně nákladných světových shromážděních, aby zde nalezli východiska z krize a vrátili náš život do jeho původního předkrizového stavu, do stavu jakéhosi obnoveného „konzumního ráje“, na který jsme si ve vyspělých civilizacích zvykli. Měli by si zde asi také položit otázku, o jaké lidské hodnoty se opíral tento náš ztracený ráj. Byl to ráj vyspělé sekulární civilizace, založený do značné míry na sociokulturně pokročilé přírodní vědě. Tento nejstarší segment vědeckého vědění zpochybnil tradiční náboženské vysvětlování lidských hodnot, o něž se opírala celá dřívější lidská historie a naorientoval civilizačně vyspělou společnost ke konzumním sekulárním hodnotám. Autor se již od mládí zabýval myšlenkou, zda má lidský život nějaký smysl. Napsal mnoho publikací na toto téma, které zaujaly širokou veřejnost. Jeho poslední kniha Civilizace a mravnost odráží autorovy nejnovější poznatky, které srozumitelnou formou předkládá čtenářské veřejnosti.

Ideál
Vzpomínáte si na tu krásnou ženu, kterou jste nedávno potkali? Tu, kterou jste jako obvykle neoslovili? Pokud jste z krásných žen nervózní a bojíte se odmítnutí, nebo jen neumíte se ženami mluvit a dát najevo svůj skutečný záměr, je potřeba něco změnit.
Spisovatel a blogger Mark Manson přináší ucelený průvodce mužskou atraktivitou, který vám pomůže pochopit, co ženy doopravdy přitahuje, využívat odmítnutí ve svůj prospěch a nebát se projevit svůj zájem tak, abyste nepůsobili jako slizouni. Na rozdíl od jiných knih vám nenabídne „zaručené“ hlášky a taktiky, které by měly fungovat, ale nefungují – namísto toho vám vysvětlí, že zranitelnost znamená sílu a že v opravdovosti je ten největší dar, který ženy dokáží ocenit. Poradí vám, jak flirtovat, jak se správně obléknout a jak změnit svůj svět tak, abyste byli nejen sebevědomí a odhodlaní, ale také přitažliví pro něžné pohlaví.
Tato kniha je protipólem všech manipulativních příruček, které vás nutí ženě lhát a přetvařovat se, neboť upřímnost je tou nejlepší cestou k jejímu srdci i k jejímu tělu. Buďte sami sebou, ale buďte v tom lepší.

Fear: An Alternative History of the World
It's been said that, after 9/11, the 2008 financial crash and the Covid-19 pandemic, we're a more fearful society than ever before. Yet fear, and the panic it produces, have long been driving forces - perhaps the driving force - of world history: fear of God, of famine, war, disease, poverty, and other people. In Fear: An Alternative History of the World, Robert Peckham considers the impact of fear in history, as both a coercive tool of power and as a catalyst for social change.
Beginning with the Black Death in the fourteenth century, Peckham traces a shadow history of fear. He takes us through the French Revolution and the social movements of the nineteenth century to modern market crashes, Cold War paranoia and the AIDS pandemic, into a digital culture increasingly marked by uniquely twenty-first-century fears.
What did fear mean to us in the past, and how can a better understanding of it equip us to face the future? As Peckham demonstrates, fear can challenge as well as cement authority. Some crises have destroyed societies; others have been the making of them. Through the stories of the people and the moments that changed history, Fear: An Alternative History of the World reveals how fear and panic made us who we are.

I Wanna Be An Influencer (Bilingual edition)
I wanna be an Influencer is a photographic journey that maps out the new geography of places based on the choices of influencers, a social category that has become an undisputed reference point over the last decade for marketing any type of product, from clothing to cosmetics, travel and new destinations.
The author particularly reflects on one of the aspects that characterizes tourism in the time of Instagram. Destinations that are already well-known or completely unknown become sought-after, inducing a mass of aspiring influencers to adopt the same poses and behaviour because and as long as they are Instagrammable.
A kaleidoscope of images, taken behind the scenes of a real community that aims for the immediate sharing of experiences in old and new "elsewheres" and of places whose meaning has changed. Unlikely poses and daring shots are captured by the author's attentive and amused eye. The photographs are accompanied by texts by experts in the field (Beatrice Avallone, Vincenzo Nocifora, Benedetta Donato), who analyse a phenomenon of our time, which we witness daily on the social network Instagram.

An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth
Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's captivating memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.
Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success - and survival - is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst - and enjoy every moment of it.
In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement - and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.
You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth - especially your own.

An Astrologer’s Notes
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be able to forecast the future? This is precisely what a professional astrologer does every day of their working life. People turn to astrology for different reasons, sometimes out of curiosity, even for fun, but most people discover astrology when they do not know where else to turn, and then they find themselves entrusting the astrologer with their most personal problems and most intimate secrets. The astrologer who usually knows nothing about the client beforehand must rely solely on the principles of the ancient art and the position of the planets to guide them.
The author, a renowned Russian astrologer with more than 30 years of experience, shares insights into the influence of the planets in our lives drawing on the striking stories of clients with whom she worked during the so-called ‘turbulent 90s’ both in her native Republic of Kyrgyzstan and later in Moscow.
