Lacná kniha La Voiture de pompiers disparue : Le roman d´un crime (-70%)
Gunvald Larsson est en train de surveiller un immeuble déshérité lorsque le bâtiment explose. Il se porte aussitôt au secours des résidents. A premire vue, l'incendie paraît accidentel : il suffit d'un malheureux concours de circonstances, une substance inflammable, de l'essence. D'ailleurs l'un des habitants se serait suicidé au gaz, transformant son appartement en véritable bombe. Affaire classée. Sauf que Larsson ne l'entend pas de cette oreille ; le feu était trop violent, il s'est propagé trop vite. C'est alors, qu'une révélation stupéfiante va rendre l'affaire totalement incompréhensible.

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.

The Crimson Moth
Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.
Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe – a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution – who she can't help but find herself falling for.
Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?
Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Crimson Moth is the thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch…is falling in love.

Badass Habits
New York Times best-selling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits - breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before.
Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media.
Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again—our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits.
The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important.
Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset—and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of—and permission to go after—our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.

Our Accidental Universe
Our view of the Universe is changing. The timeless heavens, turning ceaselessly above us, have been revealed to be dynamic and ever-changing, requiring a new kind of astronomy. On mountaintops and in deserts around the world, new telescopes are being built to show us this changing sky. But amongst all this technological development, the major astronomical events of the past century have largely come about by accident - found not by careful experiment but as surprises when we were looking for something else entirely.
- The most promising habitat for life beyond Earth turns out to be Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus, whose oceans were revealed as NASA's Cassini probe happened to swing by.
- Pulsars, the remnants of long-dead massive stars, were originally just 'scruff' in the data of radio astronomers looking at distant galaxies.
- Telescopes around the world sprung into action to follow the visit of our first, unexpected, interstellar visitor, an asteroid from another system.
- And we get the most from the Hubble Space Telescope by pointing it at nothing ...
Chris Lintott takes us on an astonishing tour of accidents and human error in pursuit of asteroids, pulsars, radio waves, new stars and alien life. On the threshold of opening a new window on the cosmos through new surveys and instruments, his book is an urgent argument for how keeping an open mind can benefit us all - whatever might still be out there for us to find.

The Rejects
Imagine you've made it. You and your friends have hit the big time in music and you're going to be a star. But then, quite suddenly, it's over. Your best friends don't want you anymore, and you're on the outside. Perhaps they're tired of your bad habits, they think you're not good enough, or they sense you just don't want it as much as they do. Whatever the cause, you're a reject. So, what do you do next?
Featuring a player rejected by both Nirvana and Soundgarden who became a decorated special forces soldier, Britpoppers who spiralled into addiction before becoming novelists and missionaries, the terrifying story of Guns N' Roses' first drummer, super-rejecting band leaders, self-destroying rappers, troubled hard rock bassists and girl-band burnouts, The Rejects takes an intimate, thoughtful look at people who've been kicked out of bands, what they experienced and what came afterwards.
Coming from a writer with twenty years' music industry experience, The Rejects is a sympathetic study of some of music's most fascinating characters, and what happens when the dream comes crashing to an end. The result is a compelling alternative history of popular music.
The Path to Paradise
Say 'Coppola' and The Godfather immediately comes to mind. But Coppola isn't Corleone — he's more than that.

The book presents the highs and lows of both his personal and professional life, as Coppola sets out to transform the process of making movies.
Sam Wasson masterly captures the larger-than-life figure of a man who pursued a vision of the world of movies and all the wonder of what that would be.
