Záhada rozumu
Rozum není, čím se zdá být.
Říká se, že od zvířat nás odlišuje rozum. Ten se stejně jako ostatní charakteristiky našeho živočišného druhu vyvinul postupnou evolucí. Musíme si proto položit dvě zásadní otázky: Proč se rozum nevyvinul u zvířat? A proč se lidé tak často chovají úplně bláznivě?
Na tyto a další otázky se snaží odpovědět francouzští kognitivní vědci Hugo Mercier a Dan Sperber. Rozum podle nich nefunguje osamoceně a neslouží k hledání té nejlepší možné reakce v konkrétní situaci. Mnohem spíše pomáhá obhajovat naše instinktivní a podvědomá rozhodnutí před naším okolím — přesvědčuje je skrze racionální argumentaci a soudí argumenty ostatních. Najednou pak dávají smysl i ty největší slabiny rozumu: například proč vždy tíhneme k tomu, co známe, nebo proč tak často nedokážeme rozlišit mezi dobrou a špatnou myšlenkou.

Before We Say Goodbye
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:
The husband with something important left to say
The woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell
The woman who couldn’t answer a proposal
The daughter who drove her father away . . .
In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time.

Bojovníci dúhy
Stojí priateľstvo nad láskou? Znamenajú peniaze viac ako česť? Je možné zmeniť osud? A má vôbec zmysel hľadať životné šťastie?
Odpovede na tieto otázky sa snažia nájsť aj hlavní hrdinovia trilógie: mexické dievča Mercedes Perezová, bezhlavo sa púšťajúca do prenasledovania vrahov svojich príbuzných; farmársky syn Benjamin Sutter, opúšťajúci rodinu kvôli zlatej horúčke v Kalifornii; syn podnikateľa a špekulanta Markus Whitfield, vytrvalo pátrajúci po predkoch v rezerváciách; veterán Adam Burns, po návrate z občianskej vojny rozhodnutý zahlušiť toľko Indiánov, koľko bude možné, aby pomstil smrť ženy a synov.
Avšak, zdá sa, že Boh má pre každého nachystané iné poslanie.
Cesty Mercedes a Benjamina sa skrížia. Spolu sa vydávajú za zločincami, no netušia, že karta sa čoskoro obráti a sami sa stanú prenasledovanou korisťou aj zajatcami. Markus nachádza životnú lásku, ale predovšetkým spozná pravú tvár svojho adoptívneho otca. Adama náhoda spojí s Indiánmi a prostredníctvom ich strastiplnej životnej cesty prijme zmierenie s Bohom, ktorého po celý život odmietal. Osudy hlavných hrdinov sú osobité, zdanlivo spolu nesúvisiace. No iba na prvý pohľad. Ak sa vám bude zdať, že v prvej časti sa cesty hrdinov uzavreli, tá druhá vám ukáže, do akej miery ste sa zmýlili. Ale až v tretej časti autorka skutočne odkryje tajomstvá celého príbehu a ponúkne zavŕšenie obdivuhodných ľudských osudov.
BOJOVNÍCI DÚHY nie sú len dobrodružnou trilógiou inšpirovanou skutočnými dejinnými udalosťami severoamerického kontinentu rokov 1860 – 1912. Sú rozprávaním o zrade a pomste, viere a nádeji, krvi a tanci bojovníkov, ale najmä o ľudskom putovaní za láskou a obyčajným šťastím.

If Love Had A Price
A steamy opposites attract romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
Every heart has a price.
She offered him $10,000 to seduce her father's gold-digging fiancée.
He countered with $15,000 and a kiss - from her. At any time he chose.
Kris should've said no, but she was desperate to get rid of her stepmother-to-be, and the gorgeous actor with the wicked grin was perfect for the job.
So she agreed to his terms - not knowing that doing so would cost her a lot more than money and a kiss...
He did it for the money - which he desperately needed.
The kiss was just a bonus - or so he told himself.
Melting an ice princess like Kris started as a challenge, but by the time Nate realized there was more to Kris than meets the eye, it was too late: he had fallen.
But they're not just from opposite sides of the track - they're from different worlds. And when those worlds collide, Kris and Nate must decide whether they're willing to give up what they have for what could be...
This is book three of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Chronologically, it takes place between books one (If We Ever Meet Again) and two (If the Sun Never Sets).
Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and explicit content.
The Grand Tour. The Golden Age of Travel
Global travel can be a wearying business: mass tourism, overcrowded planes, chaotic airports, heightened security, cookie-cutter hotel chains, well-worn tourist trails. Finding even a sliver of adventure can sometimes feel impossible. But take heart: for all of us with an unfulfilled spirit of wanderlust, The Golden Age of Travel evokes an era when traveling the world was a thrilling new possibility for those with the resources, time, imagination, and daring.
This richly illustrated volume charts the travel heyday of 1869 to 1939. Bedecked with ephemera and precious turn-of-the-century photochroms, it follows six classic tours favored by Western adventurers in the prewar era, including such famous traveler-writers as Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain, and Goethe. From the Grand Tour of Europe, a traditional rite of passage for young English aristocrats, to the Far East, barely touched by Western influence, to the famous Trans-Siberian Railway, we follow each journey through its itinerant stops and various modes of transport: trains, boats, cars, planes, horses, donkeys, and camels.
With pages brimming with archival travel posters, guides, tickets, leaflets, brochures, menus, and luggage stickers, the book evokes all the romance, elegance, not to mention the sheer sense of novelty, that enthralled these golden-age passengers. Through decadent new cities, or wild, rugged terrains, this is your passport to a long-lost epoch of adventure and wide-eyed wonder at the world.
