CD 1
O dráčikovi Háčikovi
Kde bolo, tam bolo, bol raz jeden Dráčik Háčik. Bol to celkom obyčajný malý dráčik, ktorý žil v jaskyni s oteckom a mamičkou. Mamička mu vypekala tie najlepšie koláče, aké sa kedy mohli dostať pod dračí zub a otecko ho zase učil chrliť oheň a všakovaké iné dračie kumšty, bez ktorých sa poriadny drak vo svete nezaobíde. Dráčik Háčik by bol hádam v tomto pokojnom rodinnom prostredí bez problémov vyrástol na poriadneho draka, malo to však jeden háčik. Dráčik sa totiž preto volal Háčik, lebo veľmi rád Háčkoval.

O dráčikovi Spáčikovi
Príbeh dráčika Spáčika sa šťastne skončil svadbou s drakulienkou Okulienkou. Nuž a po svadbe sa im, ako správnym manželom, narodil syn. Ale beda! Nebol to syn po akom by Dráčik Háčik túžil – o háčkovaní nechcel ani počuť! Stále iba spal. Ani mamičkin „rýchlokys“ nemal veľmi v obľube. A navyše nevedel povedať “R”!
Spáčika trápilo, že nevie svojim rodičom urobiť naozajstnú radosť, a tak sa vybral do sveta, aby si tam vydobyl dračiu slávu.
Najprv si však zašiel po radu ku svojej prababke Eleonóre. Tá ho najprv prehovárala, že dračiu slávu najlepšie získa učením, alebo tak, že niečo zmajstruje, ale Spáčik ju odbil s tým, že na učenie a majstrovanie nemá čas, lebo stále iba spí. Ostala mu teda posledná možnosť – hrdinský čin – a tým je pre draka únos princeznej. Rozprávky z ďalekých krajín

Rozprávka - Vtačí kráľ CD (kartón)
1. Vtáčí kráľ Verili by ste, že obyčajný havran môže zožrať celého vola? Presne to sa totiž stalo istému statočnému mládencovi, keď so svojím volom oral pole. No keďže tento mládenec bol nielen statočný, ale aj veľmi odvážny, vydal sa havrana hľadať. Putoval veľa dní a nocí, až sa dostal k samotnému Vtáčiemu kráľovi. Ten svojmu sluhovi havranovi prikáže, aby dal mládencovi za vola všetko, čo si len zapýta. Mládenec si na radu škovránka vyberie starý ošúchaný mlynček. Nebol to však hocaký mlynček. Ak mu niekto prikázal, namlel jedla od výmyslu sveta. Mládencovi sa od tých čias vodilo dobre. Nemusel viac biedu trieť a keďže mal dobré srdce, pohostil aj svojich susedov, a tak ho mal každý v dedine rád. To sa však nepozdávalo richtárovi a najmä jeho závistlivej žene. A tak... Ale to vám už dopovie naša rozprávka. Účinkujú: Rozprávač: Štefan Kvietik Mládenec: Richard Stanke Vtáčí kráľ: Jozef Šimonovič Havran: Dušan Kaprálik Škovránok: Natália Blahová Richtár: Bronislav Križan Richtárka: Eva Žilineková 2. Traja zhavranení bratia Kde bolo, tam bolo, boli raz traja bratia, ktorí sa stále len hašterili. Dokonca aj k vlastnej matke sa správali neúctivo. Tá ich jedného dňa v zlosti prekľaje. Od tej chvíle je im súdené lietať svetom v havranej podobe a len na noc môžu opäť nadobudnúť ľudskú tvár. Boli by takto lietali hádam až do súdneho dňa, keby ich neprišla oslobodiť sestrička Anička, ktorá pre ich záchranu zloží ročný sľub mlčanlivosti. Keď sa však rok mlčania chýli ku koncu, nájde Aničku v bútľavom strome, kam sa na rok uchýlila, mladý kráľ. Anička sa mu veľmi zapáči, a tak ju pojme za ženu. To sa však nepáči kráľovej sestre Jolane, ktorá sa snaží Aničku v kráľových očiach stoj čo stoj očierniť. A čo je najhoršie, Anička sa vo svojom mlčaní nemôže nijako brániť. Či sa jej podarí aj napriek všetkým úskaliam bratov oslobodiť a vydobyť si zaslúžené šťastie po boku kráľa, dopovie vám naša rozprávka.

Scaling Up
Nejdůležitější překážky růstu a prosperity firem jsou většinou interního charakteru a mohou být odstraněny cílenými kroky a často bez externích finančních zdrojů. Právě v čase zásadních výzev způsobených digitalizací (Průmysl 4.0, umělá inteligence,atd.) a pandemií Covid-19 potřebují jak mladé rostoucí, tak etablované firmy správné impulzy a pragmatické, snadno implementovatelné nástroje, aby byly schopné na jedné straně přežít otřesy tuzemského trhu a narůstající mezinárodní konkurenci a na druhé straně umožňovat svým manažerům rychle se přizpůsobovat novým okolnostem. Agilita je potřebná a poptávaná.
Zároveň se zdá, že si start-upy pronajaly všechna klíčová témata budoucnosti pro sebe. Zároveň 9 z 10 nově založených firem zkrachuje během prvních pěti let jejich existence. Proto spousta start-upů sama o sobě nestačí pro dostatečný růst naší ekonomiky. Teprve, pokud start-up dokáže přerůst do úspěšného Scale-upu, může se projevit její ekonomický přínos.
Kniha Scaling Up Jak to jen pár firem zvládneA proč ostatní ne se může stát vaším nepostradatelným pomocníkem a rádcem v rozvoji a udržení podnikání.
Cílem této knihy je pomoci vám obrátit to, co vám připadá jako kotva, která brzdí, do vnímání větru v zádech - vytvořit společnost, kde zaměstnanci jsou spokojení a opravdu aktivní ; kde zákazníci vám pomáhají dělat váš marketing a kde každý vydělává odpovídající peníze. K dosažení tohoto cíle se Scaling Up zaměřuje na čtyři hlavní oblasti rozhodování, které musí mít každá společnost správné: lidé, strategie, exekuce a hotovost. Kniha obsahuje řadu nových jednostránkových nástrojů včetně aktualizovaného Jednostránkového strategického plánu a Rockefeller Habits Checklist , které více než 40 000 firem po celém světě využilo k svému úspěšnému rozvoji a růstu od velikosti jednotek milionů až po miliardy dolarů.

Cigani
Keď pred časom vydal fotograf Tibor Huszár fotografickú výtvarnú publikáciu Cigáni, bolo ihneď zrejmé, že pohľad na cigánov žijúcich na Slovensku dostal celkom inú kvalitu a iné rozmery. Bolo to prakticky po prvý raz, čo sa život, zvyky, tradície,
lesk a najmä bieda tohto etnika zobrazili v takej vizuálnej podobe, v takej hĺbke, pestrosti, autentickosti, nefalšovanej sociálnej pravdivosti, silnej výtvarnej hodnote. Kniha sa vďaka svojej úprimnosti a originalite stala nielen ojedinelým zjavom,
ale svojím spôsobom bestsellerom, čo pri publikácii tohto typu nebýva zvykom.
Od vydania prvej knihy sa veľa zmenilo, zmenil sa aj Tibor Huszár. Prešiel ďalší kus cesty k majstrovstvu, fotografiu priblížil takmer na dotyk k absolútnu. Jeho prejav je
presvedčivejší ako realita, je pravdivejší ako život; je totiž pravdou o živote, nie jeho kopírovaním. Čiastočne sa zmenilo aj postavenie a spôsob existencie rómskeho etnika. Priepasť nedorozumenia s väčšinovým obyvateľstvom akoby sa prehlbovala. Od
cudzenie pramení z nepochopenia rómskej mentality, ich tradícií, zvykov a pocitov. Tibor Huszár pozná tieto tradície, zvyky a pocity pridobre, no aj tak sa zdalo, že o nich už viac nepovie.

The Coming Wave
AI. SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY. QUANTUM COMPUTING. Everything is about to change. This is the only book you need to understand this new world.
From the ultimate AI insider, Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, part of Google.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.
None of us are prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side and the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?
This ground-breaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes 'the containment problem' - the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies - as the essential challenge of our age.
The Wake-Up Call
They'll do anything to save the hotel, except work together . . .
Welcome to Forest Manor Hotel, where the staff and guests are one happy family. Except for Izzy and Lucas - bitter rivals banned from working the same shift, for everyone's sake.
After struggling for years, the hotel may soon have to close its doors forever. But when Izzy returns a guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost property, Izzy and Lucas are forced to work together to try to save the day.
But as their rivalry becomes something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas start to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future . . .
The Deadline - Essays
A book to be read and kept for posterity, The Deadline is the art of the essay at its best.
Few, if any, historians have brought such insight, wisdom, and empathy to public discourse as Jill Lepore. Arriving at The New Yorker in 2005, Lepore, with her panoptical range and razor-sharp style, brought a transporting freshness and a literary vivacity to everything from profiles of long-dead writers to urgent constitutional analysis to an unsparing scrutiny of the woeful affairs of the nation itself. The astonishing essays collected in The Deadline offer a prismatic portrait of Americans’ techno-utopianism, frantic fractiousness, and unprecedented?but armed?aimlessness. From lockdowns and race commissions to Bratz dolls and bicycles, to the losses that haunt Lepore’s life, these essays again and again cross what she calls the deadline, the “river of time that divides the quick from the dead.” Echoing Gore Vidal’s United States in its massive intellectual erudition, The Deadline, with its remarkable juxtaposition of the political and the personal, challenges the very nature of the essay?and of history?itself.

The Co-op
A steamy second chance romance about restoration and renovation, and uncovering all the things that build character within ourselves, from the popular TikTok author, perfect for fans of Lucy Score, B.K. Borison and Sarah Adams.
They say love and construction don't mix. By that logic, hate and construction may as well be condemned.
LaRynn Lavigne and Deacon Leeds had one short and contentious summer fling when they were teens - certainly nothing to build a foundation on. But a decade later, when their grandmothers have left them with shared ownership of their dilapidated Santa Cruz building, they're thrust back together and have to figure out how to brace up the pieces.
LaRynn has the money, but in order to access her trust, she has to be married. Deacon has the construction expertise, but lacks the funds. A deal is struck: Marry for however long it takes to fix up the property, collect a profit, and cut ties.
Thrust into a home without walls, LaRynn and Deacon quickly learn that it's easy to hide behind emotional ones, even in a marriage. But with all the exposure and pitfalls that come with living with the opposite sex (and none of the perks, much to their growing mutual frustration) they'll also have to learn what it means to truly cooperate as a team.
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Uncle Tom’s Cabin brought the evils of slavery to the hearts and minds of the American people by its moving portrayal of slave experience.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition has an afterword by Pat Righelato.
Harriet Beecher Stowe shows us, in scenes of great dramatic power, the human effects of a system in which slaves were property. When a Kentucky farmer falls on hard times he is forced to sell his slaves, and among them is Uncle Tom, who’s bought by a brutal plantation owner. The novel describes the horror of plantation labour and Tom’s fight for his freedom and his life. A rallying cry to end slavery in America and one of the most influential American novels, Uncle Tom’s Cabin remains, to this day, controversial and abrasive in its demand for change.

A Good Time to be a Girl
Five years have passed since women were exhorted to `Lean In'. Over that time, the world has transformed beyond all expectations. But why should anyone `lean in' to a patriarchal system that is out of date? Why not change it entirely for the good of us all?
In A Good Time to be a Girl, Helena Morrissey sets out how we might achieve the next big breakthrough towards a truly inclusive modern society.
Drawing on her experience as a City CEO, mother of nine, and founder of the influential 30% Club which campaigns for gender-balanced UK company boards, her manifesto for new ways of working, living, loving and raising families is for everyone, not just women. Making a powerful case for diversity and difference in any workplace, she shows how, together, we can develop smarter thinking and broader definitions of success. Gender balance, in her view, is an essential driver of economic prosperity and part of the solution to the many problems we face today.
Her approach is not aimed merely at training a few more women in working practices that have outlived their usefulness. Instead, this book sets out a way to reinvent the game - not at the expense of men but in ways that are right and relevant for a digital age. It is a powerful guide to success for us all.

Life 3.0
This is the most important conversation of our time, and Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it' Stephen Hawking'This is a rich and visionary book and everyone should read it' The TimesWe stand at the beginning of a new era. What was once science fiction is fast becoming reality, as AI transforms war, crime, justice, jobs and society-and, even, our very sense of what it means to be human. More than any other technology, AI has the potential to revolutionize our collective future - and there's nobody better situated to explore that future than Max Tegmark, an MIT professor and co-founder of the Future of Life Institute, whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial.In this deeply researched and vitally important new book, Tegmark takes us to the heart of thinking about AI and the human condition, bringing us face to face with the essential questions of our time. How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether? Life 3.0 gives us the tools to join what may be the most important conversation of our time, guiding us through the most controversial issues around AI today -- from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos.What sort of future do you want?

Study for Obedience
A powerful, compressed masterwork for fans of Shirley Jackson and Claire-Louise Bennett
A woman moves from the place of her birth to a remote northern country to be housekeeper to her brother, whose wife has just left him. The youngest child of many siblings - more than she cares to remember - from earliest childhood she has attended to their every desire, smoothed away the slightest discomfort with perfect obedience, with the highest degree of devotion. The country, it transpires, is the country of their family's ancestors, an obscure though reviled people.
Soon after she arrives, a series of unfortunate events occurs - collective bovine hysteria; the demise of a ewe and her nearly-born lamb; a local dog's phantom pregnancy; the containment of domestic fowl; a potato blight. She notices that the local suspicion about incomers in general seems to be directed particularly in her case. What is clear is that she is being accused of wrongdoing, but in a language she cannot understand and so cannot address. And however diligently and silently she toils in service of the community, still she feels their hostility growing, pressing at the edges of her brother's property...

Shakespeare's Sisters
This remarkable work about women writers in the English Renaissance explodes our notion of the Shakespearean period by drawing us into the lives of four women who were committed to their craft long before there was any possibility of 'a room of one's own.'
In an innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare's England, Ramie Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of four women writers working at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land in one of England's most infamous inheritance battles.
These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had been shut for centuries.
Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women; in the process, she helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer understanding of history and offering a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare's day.

Nomad at Home
Nomad at Home dissects the desire to wander the globe from the point of view of the design-led traveler, those for whom “it is a better thing to travel hopefully than to arrive.”
“There are few countries I have visited without consulting the local real estate agent’s window or poring over the free property magazine. Whether in Puglia or Provence, I am already imagining my new life there; the basket I’ll carry to market, the dress I’ll change into for an apéro, the flea market at which I will buy my furniture, the secret cove where I’ll swim.”
In Nomad at Home, compulsive wanderer Hilary Robertson showcases 10 unique locations and tells the stories of different nomadic tribes: the Adopters, who have left home forever and made a life elsewhere, as well as the Escapists, always on the move, with a base in two, three, or maybe even four locations. Then there are the Serial Wanderers, who simply absorb the DNA of any given destination and bring it all back home; creating Provence in Pittsburgh with ingredients gathered on their travels. There are more ways than one of satisfying a wandering eye. As well as offering inspiration from homes all over the globe, Nomad at Home also contains champion shopper Hilary's nomadic sourcebook, which allows readers to hit the ground shopping in destinations all over the world, with an address book for every country covered, every story told.

Very Bad People
"Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth." - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.
