When The Heavens Went On Sale
A momentous look at the private companies driving the revolutionary new space race, from the 3-million copy, New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk
In 2008, Elon Musk's SpaceX became the first private company to build a low-cost rocket that could reach orbit. Suddenly Silicon Valley, not NASA, was the epicentre of the new Space Age.
Ashlee Vance follows four pioneering companies - Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs and Rocket Lab - as they race to control access to outer space. While the space tourism ambitions of billionaires such as Bezos and Branson make headlines, these under-the-radar companies are striving to monetise Earth's lower orbit; to connect, analyse and monitor everything on Earth.
With unprecedented access to private company headquarters, labs and top-secret launch locations - from the US to New Zealand, Ukraine to India - Vance presents a gripping account of private jets, communes, gun-toting bodyguards, drugs, espionage investigations and multimillionaires guzzling booze as their fortunes disappear.
This is the most pressing and controversial technology story of our time. Welcome to the new Wild West above the clouds.

When she looks in the mirror, the woman from the archway is reflected back at her.
As the last Sunday in October arrives, Ella is faced with a choice.
Would she choose a different life, if she could do it again?
A Bridgerton család 2: A vikomt, aki engem szeretett
1814 is eseménydús szezonnak ígérkezik, de e sorok írójának véleménye szerint ez nem igaz Anthony Bridgertonra, London legkívánatosabb agglegényére, aki ezidáig semmi jelét nem mutatta házasulási szándékának. És az igazat megvallva, miért is mutatná? Nála jobban senki nem játssza a tökéletes élvhajhászt. Lady Whistledown társasági lapja, 1814. április De a pletykalap szerzője ezúttal téved. Anthony Bridgerton nemcsak hogy elszánta magát a nősülésre, de már ki is választotta magának a feleségjelöltet. Az egyetlen akadály a hölgy nővére, Kate Sheffield, a legalkalmatlankodóbb nőszemély, aki valaha londoni bálterembe tette a lábát. A tüzes intrikus megőrjíti Anthonyt elszántságával, hogy megakadályozza a házasságot. De amikor Anthony Bridgerton éjszakánként lehunyja a szemét, Kate igen erotikus álmokban jelenik meg neki... A közvélekedéssel ellentétben Kate biztosra veszi, hogy nem a megjavult szoknyavadászokból lesz a legjobb férj; Anthony Bridgerton pedig a legnagyobb élvhajhász. Kate elszántan védelmezi a férfitól húgát, de fél, hogy éppen az ő szíve sebezhető. Amikor Anthony ajka az ajkához ér, hirtelen attól tart, ő maga sem képes ellenállni ennek a megvetendő élvhajhásznak.

IS’ WAS? Slovník slangu a hovorové němčiny
Představujeme vám novinku z unikátní řady slovníků Lingea, které se zaměřují na hovorový jazyk a slang, zejména mladé generace. Naším cílem bylo vytvořit zcela aktuální slovník, v němž najdete běžné hovorové a slangové výrazy z dnešní němčiny. Dnešní dynamická doba se odráží i v tom, jak mluvíme. V hovorové vrstvě jazyka se změny projevují nejdříve a němčina není výjimkou. Většina překladových slovníků tento vývoj nestačí zachycovat. Poměrně často se proto stává, že v nich uživatel nenajde překlady slov, na která běžně narazí při komunikaci na ulici, ve škole nebo na internetu, při sledování filmu a televize nebo při poslechu moderní hudby. Český uživatel je pak často odkázán pouze na kontext, z něhož má vyrozumět význam příslušného slova. A to je někdy úkol velice náročný. Němčina je navíc specifická velkým množstvím dialektů, proto ani její hovorová podoba není jednotná. Každý kraj má svoje osobité způsoby vyjádření – slovní zásobu, způsoby krácení slov, předložkové vazby a podobně. Při tvorbě slovníku jsme čerpali nejen z uznávaných výkladových slovníků hovorové němčiny a slangu mladých, ale také z mnoha internetových zdrojů. České ekvivalenty i překlady německých obratů a příkladů jsou voleny tak, aby co nejlépe stylově vystihovaly německé výrazy. Vzhledem k zaměření slovníku sem patří i slova, která se ve slušné společnosti nevyslovují a se spisovnou češtinou toho nemají moc společného. Součástí slovníku je seznam zkratek, které se běžně používají v SMS zprávách nebo na chatu. Věříme, že vám tento slovník usnadní komunikaci jak v reálném, tak virtuálním světě a pomůže rozšířit obzory při studiu jazyka našich sousedů.
