Artušův pád - The Fall of Arthur
Literární pastiš z Tolkienovy pozůstalosti. Jde bohužel o nedokončený text, ve kterém autor zpracoval klasickou artušovskou látku. Text k vydání připravil Christopher Tolkien a doplnil ho obsáhlým komentářem, v němž se věnuje básnickým i prozaickým zpracováním artušovské tematiky a srovnává je s otcovou verzí. Kniha dokládá Tolkienovu zálibu ve staroanglické poezii i možný pramen inspirace pro jeho slavné romány.
The Psychology of Stupidity
'We need books like this one' - psychologist Steven Pinker
At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James and Ryan Holiday.
Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you . . .
* Why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense
* How our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions
* Why trying to debate with fools is a trap
* How media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber
* Why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid
As long as there have been humans there has been human stupidity, but with wit and wisdom these great thinkers can help us understand this persistent human affliction.

Betting on You
From the New York Times bestselling author of Better than the Movies, this swoon-worthy rom-com in the vein of She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You follows a teen girl who unwittingly finds herself at the centre of a bet while working at a waterpark. When seventeen-year-old Bailey starts a new job at a hotel waterpark, she is less than thrilled to see an old acquaintance is one of her coworkers. They didn't get off to the best start but this is a new beginning and whilst they are still polar opposites, she starts to look forward to hanging out and gossiping about the waterpark guests and their coworkers-particularly two who keep flirting with each other.
Charlie insists that members of the opposite sex can't just be friends, and Bailey is determined to prove him wrong. So they make a bet on whether or not the cosy pair will actually get together. Soon enough feelings between Bailey and Charlie begin to develop with the help of some "fake dating" but Charlie has a secret.
A secret that involves Bailey and another bet Charlie may have made. Can the two make a real go of things...or has Charlie's secret doomed them before they could start?

The War of the Worlds
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.

Atlas of the Heart
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."
In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."

Star Wars: The Tales of Kenobi
Tatooine, the harsh desert planet on the edge of civilized space, is an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding. Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder shares nothing of his past and goes through great pains to remain an outsider. But when violence erupts between some of Tatooine’s farmers and a tribe of marauding Tusken Raiders, Ben finds himself drawn into the conflict. It’s a move that may reveal him as Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars and an enemy of the Empire—and endanger his true mission as protector of the galaxy’s last hope.
