Homelessness among Young People in Prague
Undoubtedly, homelessness is an interesting phenomenon of today. It represents a clear social failure which can be viewed as a syndrome of a complex social failure. Everyone knows the homeless and sees them on everyday basis, but only few people know about them more than that they look neglected, drink alcohol and always sleep in various places. The reality is, however, in many respects different, primarily as concerns young people for whom the life in the street may be merely a temporary stage in their lives. The book entitled Homelessness as an Alternative Existence of Young People provides information about those who lost their background or even never had it. It is about life in the street and about what preceded it, about their attitudes to the various problems which they face, often unsuccessfully. Young homeless people are different and the stories and causes of their social downswing are also different. The description of life in the street where one loses his privacy, the possibility to satisfy his basic needs and often even self-respect shows what must be endured in order to survive. The second part of the publication is devoted to the opposite process: a return from the street to the society, and the difficulties that must be overcome in order to accomplish it. Often it is not merely about coping with one’s past stigma but also other consequences of non-standard life, such as drug addiction, criminal records or accumulated debt. The text is based on interviews with homeless people and represents and authentic picture of this social group in Prague.

A gyógyító kristályok ereje
Az egyiptomiak kiváló mesteremberek voltak, és kifinomult érzékük volt a színekhez. Az ékkövek és a kövek iránti érdeklődésük valószínűleg az okkultizmusból fakadt, aminek köszönhetően amulettként és díszként is használták őket. Nők és férfiak is viseltek talizmánokat a testük bármely olyan részén, amit sebezhetőnek vagy kevésbé szépnek véltek. Kövekből és aranyból készítettek szkarabeuszt, sólymot és más figurákat a gonosz erők és a balesetek elleni védelemül, illetve a jó szerencse érdekében. A vadállatok szarva és agyara, valamint a ragadozó madarak karmai – a valódiak, nem a másolatok – misztikus tulajdonságokkal bírtak a számukra, az ékszerek, amulettek formáját pedig az határozta meg, hogy óvó célból viselték őket, habár az ékkövek a gazdagságot és a társadalmi rangot is szimbolizálták, és kétségkívül a vonzerő növelése érdekében is viselték őket. Ha a kövek kedvező hatásokat gyakoroltak az emberre, akkor nem szabad elfeledkeznünk az istenek díszeiről sem. Szobraikon a szentélyeikben bemutatott napi szertartások részeként cserélődtek a ruhák és az ékkövek. A halottakat is a legkiválóbb kövekkel borították túlvilági útjukra. Még akkor is vele temettek egy egyszerű gyöngyfűzért, ha az elhunyt alacsonyabb rangú volt. Úgy tűnik, hogy a megfelelő információk birtokában az ember kövek egész sokaságát gyűjthette össze ellenségei, a betegségek vagy a vadállatok támadásának elkerülése, vagy a segítő erők elnyerése érdekében.

Lacná kniha Underground Time
Everyday Mathilde takes the Metro, then the commuter train to the office of a large multi-national where she works in the marketing department. Every day, the same routine, the same trains. But something happened a while ago - she dared to voice a different opinion from her moody boss, Jacques. Bit by bit she finds herself frozen out of everything, with no work to do. Thibault is a paramedic. Every day he drives to the addresses he receives from his controller. The city spares him no grief: traffic jams, elusive parking spaces, delivery trucks blocking his route. He is well aware that he may be the only human being many of the people he visits will see for the entire day and is well acquainted with the symptomatic illnesses, the major disasters, the hustle and bustle and, of course, the immense, pervading loneliness of the city. Before one day in May, Mathilde and Thibault had never met. They were just two anonymous figures in a crowd, pushed and shoved and pressured continuously by the loveless, urban world. Underground Time is a novel of quiet violence - the violence of office-bullying, the violence of the brutality of the city - in which our two characters move towards an inevitable meeting. 'Two solitary existences cross paths in this poignant chronicle, a new testimony to de Vigan's superb eloquence' Lire

Transformer
For decades, biology has been dominated by information - the power of genes. Yet there is no difference in information content between a living cell and one that died a moment ago. A better question goes back to the formative years of biology: what processes animate cells and set them apart from lifeless matter?
In Transformer, Nick Lane turns the standard view upside down, capturing an extraordinary scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight. At its core is an amazing cycle of reactions that uses energy to transform inorganic molecules into the building blocks of life - and the reverse. To understand this cycle is to fathom the deep coherence of the living world. It connects the origin of life with the devastation of cancer, the first photosynthetic bacteria with our own mitochondria, sulphurous sludges with the emergence of consciousness, and the trivial differences between ourselves with the large-scale history of our planet.
