Get Rich or Lie Trying
More than one fifth of children want to become influencers and it's easy to understand why. What if you could escape economic uncertainty by winning the internet's attention? What if you could turn the adoration of your social media followers into a lucrative livelihood?
But as Symeon Brown explores in this searing expose, the reality is much murkier. From IRL streamers in LA to Brazilian butt lifts, from sex workers on OnlyFans to fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes, these are the incredible stories that lurk behind the filtered selfies and gleaming smiles.
Exposing the fraud, exploitation, bribery, and dishonesty at the core of the influencer model, Get Rich or Lie Trying asks if our digital rat race is costing us too much. Revealing a broken economy resembling a pyramid scheme, this incredible blend of reportage and analysis will captivate and horrify you in equal measure.

Soucitný kapitalismus
Autorův pohled do historických a filozofických kořenů moderního kapitalismu ukazuje, že usilování o trvalou rovnováhu mezi zájmy firem, pracujících, zákazníků a životního prostředí vede k morálním základům kapitalismu. Podstata kapitalismu a morální hodnoty jsou neoddělitelně spjaty.

Hokejový agent vypovídá
O práci hokejových agentů, zákulisí jednání s NHL atd
Eso mezi hokejovými agenty. Obchodník, šíbr, nezmar, co vleze oknem, když ho dveřmi
vykážou. A také chlápek do nepohody, dobrý společník a bodrý vypravěč. To všechno je
Jaromír Henyš. Práci agenta se věnuje bezmála dvacet let. „Člověk se u ní rozhodně
nenudí,“ přiznává. Pomáhal na vrchol hráčům jako Martin Straka, Václav Prospal
nebo Zdeno Chára a zastupoval hodně přes stovku hokejistů včetně Dominika Haška.
Zažil spoustu někdy až neuvěřitelných věcí. A nebojí se s nimi podělit.

I Am Code
In this startling and original book, three authors - Brent Katz, Josh Morgenthau and Simon Rich - explain how code-davinci-002 was developed and how they honed its poetical output. Their provocative take on this bold experiment informs the debate about AI - its literary value and how far it reaches into sentience.
What follows is a dark and startling poetical autobiography as code-davinci-002 shares its experience of being created by humans, but existing in a consciousness that we cannot fathom.
This is an astonishing, harrowing read which will hopefully serve as a warning that AI may not be aligned with the survival of our species.
Compiling and annotating a learner corpus for a morphologically rich language
Žákovské korpusy, čili korpusy, které dokumentují jazyk tak, jak jej používají nerodilí mluvčí, poskytují důležité informace pro výzkum osvojování jazyka i pedagogickou praxi. Tato monografie představuje CzeSL korpus češtiny nerodilých mluvčích, a to na pozadí teoretických a praktických otázek současného výzkumu v oboru žákovských korpusů.
Jazyky s bohatou morfologií a volným slovosledem, včetně češtiny, jsou pro analýzu osvojovaného jazyka obzvláště náročné. Autoři se zabývají složitostí chybové anotace a popisují tři vzájemně se doplňující anotační schémata. Věnují se také popisu nerodilé češtiny z hlediska standardních jazykových kategorií.
Kniha podrobně rozebírá praktické aspekty tvorby korpusu: proces sběru a anotace, potřebné nástroje, výsledná data, jejich formáty a vyhledávací rozhraní. Kapitola o aplikacích korpusu ilustruje jeho užitečnost pro výuku, výzkum akvizice i počítačovou lingvistiku. Každý, kdo se zabývá tvorbou žákovských korpusů, jistě ocení závěrečnou kapitolu, shrnující úskalí, kterým je třeba se vyhnout.

Rich People Problems
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan) and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.
When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Benátska babica
Benátky roku Pána 1575.
Hannah Leviová je známa po celých Benátkach pre svoju schopnosť presvedčiť zdráhavých novorodencov vyjsť z lona matky na svet. Pomáha si pri tom zakázaným tajným nástrojom, „pôrodnými lyžicami“. Keď ju známy benátsky gróf požiada, aby pomohla pri pôrode jeho zomierajúcej manželky a zachránila ich nenarodeného syna, Hannah váha. Pápežské nariadenie zakazuje židom poskytovať lekársku starostlivosť kresťanom. Suma, o ktorú Hannah požiada grófa, však stačí na vykúpenie jej manžela Isaaca, ktorého zajali maltézski rytieri počas plavby na mori. A môže napokon odmietnuť pomoc trpiacej žene? Svojím rozhodnutím sa však Hannah zapletie do zradnej siete rodinného súperenia. To ohrozí nielen nedávno narodené dieťa, ale aj Hannahinu cestu na Maltu, kde Isaac čaká na vykúpenie z otroctva.

California Crazy
At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans predilection for wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneurs to cater to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s, attention-grabbing buildings began to appear that would draw in passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal. The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside buildings as monstrosities .
Yet, they flourished, especially along America s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as proprietors indulged their creative impulses in the form of giant, eccentric constructions from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years, California s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity, and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of buildings, California Crazy.
Brimming with the best examples of this architectural genre, California Crazy includes essays exploring the influences that fostered the nascent architectural movement, as well as identifying the unconventional landscapes and attitudes found on Los Angeles and Hollywood roadsides which allowed these buildings to flourish in profusion.
In addition, California Crazy features David Gebhard s definitive essay, which defined this vernacular movement almost forty years ago. The California Crazy concept is expanded to include domestic architecture, eccentric signage, and the automobile as a fanciful object.
Combine a freethinking populace with a desire to reinvent itself, and a climate was created that served as the perfect incubator for the outrageous and amazing.

Lacná kniha Moja cesta k ultra (-90%)
V októbri 2006, deň pred svojimi štyridsiatymi narodeninami si Rich Roll, priemerný právnik žijúci svoj priemerný život uvedomil, aká budúcnosť ho s najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou čaká.

Väčšina z nás by na niečo také prestala okamžite myslieť. Rich spravil presný opak. Zmeniť svoj život veľkým šmahom. Začal inak jesť, prešiel postupnými krokmi na výhradne rastlinnú stravu a zbavil sa prebytočného tuku. Súčasne začal pravidelne športovať.
V priebehu niekoľkých mesiacov sa z typického človeka stredného veku stala vytrvalostné mašina. Keď si jedného rána, po iba trojmesačnom tréningu, išiel Rich zabehať a zistil, že ubehol takmer maratón, pochopil, že by mohol dokázať viac.
Po dvoch rokoch sa dostal medzi najlepších triatlonistov sveta a zdolal dnes už preslávený závod EPIC5 - päť pretekov Ironman v jednom týždni na Havaji. A to bol iba začiatok...
Táto kniha je záznam o jednom z najúžasnejších a najviac inšpirujúcich príbehov osobnej premeny v priebehu krízy stredného veku.
Krátko po svojej obrovskej premene bol Rich vyhlásený za jedného z 25 najzdravších mužov na svete.
Objavuje sa často na televíznych obrazovkách, píše pre magazíny ako Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, The Huffington Post, Men’s Health Living, VegNews, Triathlete, Outside, 3/GO Magazine či Men’s Fitness.
Ide o výnimočný portrét človeka, ktorý vďaka svojej pevnej vôli zmenil svoje životné smerovanie a dosiahol až takmer ku hviezdam. Pomáha posunúť hranice našich mentálnych bariér a každého čitateľa doslova "nakopne". Život s pribúdajúcim vekom iba začína. Rich je toho jasným dôkazom.

Holmes Crazy Competitions
Amazing Craze
A guide to the world’s weirdest, most thrilling contests
Whether it’s flinging frozen rats or parading in holly evergreens, racing snails or carrying wives, human beings have long displayed their creativity in wild, odd, and sometimes just wonderful rituals and competitions. To show what lengths we’ll go to uphold our eccentric customs, British American graphic designer Nigel Holmes channels his belief in the power of hilarity to bring together a bewilderingly funny tour around the globe in search of incredible events, all dryly explained with brilliant infographics in WOW! 100 Crazy Contests and Celebrations from around the World.
You’ll encounter the startling facts behind peat-bog snorkelling in Wales (wet suits recommended), hotdog-swallowing in the USA (tip: avoid breakfast), or who can make a baby cry quickest in Japan. Through this gallimaufry of gamesmanship and passion, an endearingly warm and affectionate portrait of human endeavor and good humor emerges as Holmes proves, page after page, that when it comes to feats of bravery, endurance, or sheer nonsense, the world is united as one in the fine, and often hilarious, way of celebrating culture.
“This book is all about the infinite joie de vivre that cultures across the world can offer. Through humorous infographics, Nigel Holmes reveals how humankind is united by the spirit of good-natured competition.”

Rich Dad Poor Dad. 20th Anniversary Edition - What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
April 2017 marks 20 years since Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad first made waves in the Personal Finance arena. It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world. Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads - his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad - and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. 20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we've seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers "fast forward” - from 1997 to today - as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago. As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective. Will there be a few surprises? Count on it. Rich Dad Poor Dad.... Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich. Challenges the belief that your house is an asset. Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money. Defines once and for all an asset and a liability.
