Lou Reed: Waiting for the Man - Život a hudba
Doplněné a kompletně revidované vydání jedinečné Lou Reedovy biografie nabízí ucelený a zároveň detailní pohled na jeho hudbu a život.
Sám Reed knihu označil za nejlepší biografii, která o něm kdy vznikla.
Waiting For The Man vykresluje jednu z vůdčích osobností alternativní hudby, rockovou ikonu, která skrze své kontroverzní texty a typický garážový zvuk ovlivnila celé další směřování rockové hudební scény. Už v éře hippies vystupoval s nekompromisní až mystickou uzavřeností a odtažitostí. Jeho nezaměnitelný styl se pokoušely napodobit generace následovníků. Značně ovlivnil také český underground, několikrát navštívil ČR a přátelil se s Václavem Havlem.
Kniha sleduje celý Reedův život od úplných začátků ve skupině Velvet Underground přes více než 40letou sólovou dráhu, během které vystřídal nespočet různých poloh a zapsal se do historie jako jeden z nejoriginálnějších a těžko zařaditelných umělců.

Health and Disease in the Neolithic Lengyel Culture
Cílem knihy je objasnit dosud neznámá nebo nedostatečně osvětlená fakta z každodenního života příslušníků lengyelské kultury, neolitických zemědělců, kteří přišli z Balkánu, přes Moravu se rozšířili až na území dnešního Rakouska a Polska a nahradili původní rané zemědělské populace střední Evropy – kultury s lineární (LnK) a vypíchanou keramikou (StK). Od raně neolitických kultur se odlišovali zejména využíváním mědi, sopečného skla a vyšším podílem lovu.
Jak byla tato populace ovlivněna používáním kovu? Proč vzrostla její potřeba lovit? Jaký byl její zdravotní stav před migrací z dnešního Maďarska na Moravu, kde zažila nebývalý rozkvět, a jaké nemoci nejvíc sužovaly obyvatele lengyelských osad? V čem se lišil jejich životní styl od předchozích kultur s lineární a vypíchanou keramikou? Na tyto otázky se snaží odpovědět mezinárodní tým odborníků pod vedením Václava Smrčky a Olivéra Gábora.

The Other Side Of Water
Zeke Grayson feels so alone. He lost his mom and his home in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert after a hit-and-run. Now he’s stuck living with his estranged father in wintery Illinois, where he has exactly zero ties to his Mexica heritage and the only family he has ever known. Furious with his dad for thinking he should just “get over” his mom’s death and stop causing trouble at school, Zeke runs away to a local lake. Watching the water has helped him calm down before, but this time his grief for his mom is too much. It unlocks a magic he didn’t know he possessed, and he passes into a world on the other side of the water. This world is under attack by a slithering serpentine race known as the Gyrazú that can track people through the rivers and travel through them too quickly to avoid. Zeke narrowly avoids capture thanks to Naya, Thain, and Callie—members of the Menewa who can teach him how to use his newfound ability to heal with magic and bring him closer to the truth about his parents’ secret ties to this world. As the friends race both the Gyrazú and hidden traitors to stop a cataclysmic attack, Zeke must navigate both his grief and his magic or else risk drowning in both.

Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

Royal Blood - Back To The Water Below CD
KDO: Jedno z nejskloňovanějších jmen současné kytarové scény. Mike Kerr a Ben Thatcher pocházejí z anglického Brightonu. Podobně jako třeba White Stripes nebo The Black Keys hudebně vycházejí z dřevního blues rocku, kritika v souvislosti s nimi nejčastěji používá termín modern garage rock. Royal Blood hrají ve velmi úsporném a unikátním nástrojovém obsazení baskytara a bící. Nepoužívají žádné přednatočené pásky nebo mašinky, přesto dokáží s pomocí pedálových efektů vytvořit plný a opravdu hutný zvuk.
CO: Back to the Water Below je nadcházející čtvrté studiové album anglického rockového dua Royal Blood. Vyjde 1. září 2023 u Warner Records. Album bylo produkováno samotnou skupinou, přičemž většinu svého předchozího alba si produkovali sami.

Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

I Was Born for This
The third novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman - one of the most talked about YA writers in recent years.
For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark - a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark's fandom has given her everything she loves - her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.
Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He's their frontman - and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.
But dreams don't always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.
A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something - especially yourself.
