Laň, myška a stehlík
Poznáte príbeh o svätej Rite a včelách? Počuli ste o svätcovi, ktorý osedlal medveďa? Viete, čím si lesné zvieratá získal svätý Serafín a čo spôsobilo, že divý vlk po jedinom stretnutí so svätým Františkom skrotol? Legendy o svätcoch a zvieratách nie sú nové, no bohato ilustrovaná kniha Laň, myška a stehlík ich ponúka veľmi nevšedným spôsobom – príbehy rozprávajú samotné zvieratá. Skvelý spôsob, ako osloviť malých i veľkých čitateľov a vzbudiť v nich záujem o tému ochrany stvorenia, ktorá je v kresťanstve prítomná odjakživa.

Jag Panzer - The Hallowed CD
KDO: Jag Panzer je americká heavy metalová skupina, která byla založena v roce 1981 v Coloradu a je známá svým melodickým a technicky vyspělým přístupem k hudbě. Skupina se stala ikonou power metalového žánru díky svým energickým a epickým skladbám, které kombinují silné kytarové riffy, virtuózní sóla a výrazné vokály. Jejich nejslavnější album "Ample Destruction" z roku 1984 je považováno za klasiku heavy metalu a skupina díky němu získala velké množství loajálních fanoušků po celém světě. V Jag Panzer se v průběhu let vystřídala řada hudebníků a skupina prošla i obdobími nečinnosti, ale stále pokračuje v tvorbě nové hudby a vystupuje na koncertech.
CO: Přestože jsou Jag Panzer ve svém žánru pravými legendami a hudebníci veterány na scéně, neznamená to, že jejich dvanácté studiové album „The Hallowed“ zní zastarale. Naopak toto koncepční album obsahuje velkou dávku energie a všechny typické známky pro tuto kapelu. Potěší tak dlouholeté fanoušky stejně jako mladé nadšence tohoto žánru.

Zadrž dych
Talentovaná autorka Michala Ries vstúpila na našu literárnu scénu skvelou romantickou sériou Na úteku, ktorá sa stretla s mimoriadnym čitateľským ohlasom. Jej nový román opäť ponúka pútavé čítanie o tom, aké zložité sú mužsko-ženské či rodinné vzťahy a aká tenká je hranica medzi láskou a nenávisťou.
Nenávidí jej pokrivený odraz.
Mohol by milovať jej skutočné ja?
Marína vie, aké je žiť v temnote, pozná chuť pohŕdania a zloby. Z okov minulosti sa jej však podarilo vyslobodiť a žije obyčajný život, v ktorom je konečne šťastná.
Jej duševnú rovnováhu naruší príchod nového kolegu – minulosť a prítomnosť sa nebezpečne pretnú a jej pokojný život je zrazu v ohrození. Spolu s prízrakom mladej Maríny sa vracajú aj spomienky a bolesť.
Marcel by ju mohol zničiť niekoľkými vetami. Urobí to? Ak nie, čo za to bude chcieť? Prečo ju vlastne tak veľmi nenávidí? A tie jeho oči, tie ju mätú najviac. Občas totiž hovoria úplne iný príbeh ako jeho ústa…

I can't believe I still have to protest this shit
For more than a century, the fight for women’s equality has been waged in the public sphere. Posters have often been the only available means of communication when others were denied. In this book, artist Jessica Hallbäck has collected 20 fantastic posters from times passed up until today, all related to the fight for gender equality. The posters in this inspirational book can be pulled out and put up on the wall. Each poster comes with a short accompanying text about its history. The posters in the book come from many different countries but the main message is universal – everyone is entitled to equal rights, without discrimination.
Why Politics Fails
Why do the revolving doors of power always leave us disappointed? In Why Politics Fails, award-winning Oxford professor Ben Ansell shows that it's not the politicians that are the problem, it's that our collective goals result in five political 'traps'.
Democracy: we all want a say in how we're governed, but it's impossible to have any true 'will of the people'. Equality: we want to be treated equally, but equal rights and equal outcomes undermine each other. Solidarity: we want a safety net when times are tough, but often we care about solidarity only when we need it ourselves.
Security: we want protecting from harm, but not if it undermines our freedoms. Prosperity: we want to be richer tomorrow, but what makes us richer in the short run makes us poorer over the long haul.
You've probably noticed a pattern here, which is that our self-interest undermines our ability to deliver on our collective goals. And these traps reinforce one another, so a polarized democracy can worsen inequality; a threadbare social safety net can worsen crime; runaway climate change will threaten global peace.
Drawing on examples from Ancient Greece through Brexit and using his own counterintuitive and pathbreaking research - on why democracy thrives under high inequality, and how increased political and social equality can lead to greater class inequality - Ansell vividly illustrates how we can escape the political traps of our imperfect world.
He shows that politics won't end, but that it doesn't have to fail.
Another Now
What would a fair and equal society actually look like?
Imagine a world with no banks. No stock market. No tech giants. No billionaires.
In Another Now world-famous economist, Yanis Varoufakis, shows us what such a world would look like. Far from being a fantasy, he describes how it could have come about - and might yet. But would we really want it?
Varoufakis's boundary-breaking new book confounds expectations of what the good society would look like and confronts us with the greatest question: are we able to build a better society, despite our flaws.
The Museum of the Wood Age
A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history.
Wood – humankind's long-term partner in our evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny – has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability.
The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – to reveal the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.
Spinach Herbs
This small book is about ‘Spinach Herbs’ and it deals with mainly four types of edible herbaceous plants; these are Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), Malabar Spinach (Basella spp.), New Zealand Spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) and Mustard Spinach(Brassica rapa perviridis). Food value and nutritive value of spinach herbs are very high. There are very few vegetable greens which equal the nutritive value of spinach herbs. Spinach herbs are highly nutritious salad greens and can also be cooked as delicious, nutritious leafy vegetables. Description of growing practices, nutrient data, health benefits, and food uses of the spinach herbs is given in detail in this small book.

Cranford (EN)
The humour in ‘Cranford’ (1853) is so sly it can be difficult to believe it was written over 150 years ago. Originally published in instalments and edited by Charles Dickens, the novel follows a delightful group of women in a small town who are united by all being single, poor, and proud. Written with acute observation, ‘Cranford’ is in equal parts affectionate, moving and darkly satirical.

The Myth of Normal
We tend to believe that normality equals health. Yet what is the norm in the Western world?
Mental illness and chronic disease are on an unstoppable rise. How did we get here?
And what lies ahead for us?
'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing.'
In this life-affirming book, Gabor Maté connects the dots between our personal suffering and the relentless pressures of modern life - showing that ill health is a natural reflection of our disconnection from our true selves. Drawing on four decades of clinical experience, and stories of people transforming their bodies and minds, Dr Maté offers a hopeful pathway to reconnection and healing.
Atoms of Empire
The wandering Englishman, the atom of empire, at sundry ends of the earth is not always good company in the flesh, but in Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne's stories he is good company. For the reader is not in the position of the "native"; he is, on the contrary, elected of the company of proper Britons and talked to as an equal. Those who try this book will have no sharp regrets.

Na úteku
Príbeh o láske, vyrovnávaní sa so stratou a o tom, že najťažšie zápasy sú tie, čo sa odohrávajú v našom vnútri.
On. Motorkár telom aj dušou, verný svojmu klubu a svojim zásadám. Má presnú predstavu o tom, ako má jeho život vyzerať, a je presvedčený, že svoju budúcnosť drží pevne v rukách. O pár mesiacov sa žení.
Ona. V deň, keď jej otec tragicky zahynie, stratí nielen jeho, ale aj samu seba. Ani po dvoch rokoch nevie, kto vlastne je, no jedným si je istá: vie rozoznať, čo je správne a čo nie. Nie je pre ňu ťažké určiť, do ktorej kategórie patrí snúbenec jej novej kamarátky.
Keby záležalo na nich, ani jeden by toho druhého netúžil stretnúť. Ibaže sa stalo. Ako sa Júlia vyrovná so skutočnosťou, že svet nie je čierno-biely a medzi dobrým a zlým jestvuje tisíc odtieňov? Je nevera neverou, až keď je fyzická, alebo sa začína už v mysli? A bude vôbec Adam ochotný vzdať sa všetkého, čo si vybudoval, a vykročiť do neznáma?
Michala Ries (1989) pochádza z Bánoviec nad Bebravou a spolu s manželom a synom žije v malej dedinke pod Čachtickým hradom. Vyštudovala sociálnu prácu, no roky sa pracovne pohybovala v obchodno-ekonomickej oblasti. Nakoniec si našla zamestnanie, ktoré je pre ňu aj poslaním – pracuje ako profesionálna náhradná matka. Ak si ukradne chvíľku pre seba, venuje ju svojej najväčšej vášni – písaniu. Román Na úteku je jej knižný debut.

33 modlitieb k sv. Rite
Zbierka týchto modlitieb bola vytvorená ako modlitebný návod pre tých, ktorí sa chcú utiekať k sv. Rite z Cascie a vyprosiť si hojné milosti či zásah v už neriešiteľných a bezvýchodiskových situáciách.
Keď sa modlíme, môžeme volať telesným hlasom alebo zostať ticho; no v každej modlitbe musí byť prítomný výkrik srdca. Toto vnútorné volanie spočíva vo veľkom sústredení ducha na to, o čo v modlitbe ide, a ukazuje hlbokú túžbu a horlivosť nezúfať si. Vtedy sa volá na Boha celým srdcom, keď v myšlienkach nie je nič iné iba modlitba.
Nech táto knižočka napomáha, aby okrem úst volalo predovšetkým naše srdce, a nech príklad a príhovor svätej Rity vyprosí mnohým schopnosť plniť Božiu vôľu v rôznych stavoch i situáciách.

Ettore Sottsass
Phaidon's much-loved monograph on the legendary Italian designer and architect, Ettore Sottsass
The re-release of this highly acclaimed title demonstrates the continual fascination, from both fans and collectors, with the life and work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass. The designer's work is popular and influential in equal measure, from his designs for Olivetti (such as the striking, bright red, manual typewriter, the Valentine, with its ingenious carry-case) to the post-modern brilliance of the work of the Memphis Group, founded by Sottsass in Milan in 1980.
Packed with beautiful images taken from the extensive Sottsass archives and including drawings and sketches from the designer's countless sketchbooks, the book explores his entire career from the 1940s to the 2000s, covering everything from his architectural projects and product design to his ceramics, sculpture, and graphics.
The Dawn of Everything
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself.
Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume.
The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith in the power of direct action.
