Divočina
Pozoruhodně upřímný autobiografický příběh ženy, která se po traumatických událostech rozhodne vyrazit na 1 770 kilometrů dlouhou pěší pouť.
V šestadvaceti letech si Cheryl Strayedová, po smrti své matky a krachu svého manželství, myslela, že přišla o vše. Měla pocit, že již nemá co ztratit a učinila nejimpulzivnější rozhodnutí svého života: odhodlala se sama ujít vysokohorskou trasu Pacifik Crest Trail od Mohavské pouště přes celou Kalifornii a Oregon až do státu Washington.
Hrdinka, bez jakýchkoli znalostí o přežití v divoké přírodě, se nevyhne střetnutí s chřestýši a medvědy, překonává úmorná vedra či rekordní sníh. Napínavé vyprávění okořeněné humorem živě zachycuje strach i radost mladé ženy tvrdě si razící cestu k cíli navzdory mizivé šanci na úspěch. Pouť ji téměř dožene k šílenství.
Příběh podle stejnojmenné autobiografické knihy Cheryl Strayedové byl zfilmován - premiéra filmu je 5. 3. 2015.
Sepsání scénáře se ujal slavný anglický spisovatel a scenárista Nick Hornby. I díky němu vzniklo humorem okořeněné vyprávění o odvaze mladé ženy, která si tvrdohlavě razí cestu k zvolenému a hodně vzdálenému cíli.

Bratislava - City Hall, Rathaus, Radnica
Radnica v Bratislave je harmonický komplex rozličných budov, aký inde v Európe nevidieť. Priamo v srdci
mesta sa rozkladá ako labyrint nie menej ako deviatich väčších a menších domov, palácov a nádvorí.
Vznikal postupne skoro 700 rokov a rástol spolu s mestom.
The City Hall of Bratislava is a harmonious complex of various buildings, hard to find the equivalent of
anywhere in Europe. It is situated right in the heart of the city and spreads like a labyrinth of no less than
nine larger and smaller houses, palaces and courtyards. It evolved gradually for almost 700 years and
was growing together with the city.
Das Rathaus von Bratislava ist ein harmonischer Komplex unterschiedlicher Gebäude, wie man ihn in
Europa sonst nicht findet. Direkt im Herzen der Stadt entfaltet es sich als Labyrinth von neun größeren
und kleineren Gebäuden, Palais und Innenhöfen. Es entwickelte sich kontinuierlich 700 Jahre lang und
wuchs zusammen mit der Stadt.
Astonish Me!
Astonish Me! is an adrenaline-charged rollercoaster through history's seismic first nights, exploring how individual artists can change and shape the story of culture - and allow us to see ourselves in new ways.
It tells of times when 'the air between people seems to alter' as art achieves profound change, across the globe and across history.
Dominic Dromgoole has created a radical and fresh canon. He begins in New York in 1963, as Lorraine Hansberry remakes American theatre and a nation's perception of race. And then, as the lights go up, we find ourselves in Renaissance Florence, watching Michelangelo's David being hauled into the Piazza della Signoria. The dust settles and we are transported to the birth of theatre in fifth-century Athens - and then to Paris to meet with Diaghilev and Stravinsky for the Rite of Spring. We witness kabuki's creation, as a radical women's performance, in Kyoto; the Sex Pistols shattering Thatcherite Britain at Manchester's Free Trade Hall; and watch as Hitchcock directs Psycho.
Christendom
In the fourth century AD, a new faith exploded out of Palestine. Overwhelming the paganism of Rome, and converting the Emperor Constantine in the process, it resoundingly defeated a host of other rivals. Almost a thousand years later, all of Europe was controlled by Christian rulers, and the religion, ingrained within culture and society, exercised a monolithic hold over its population. But, as Peter Heather shows in this compelling history, there was nothing inevitable about Christendom's rise to Europe-wide dominance.
In exploring how the Christian religion became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a small sect of isolated congregations was transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome, Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief. From the crisis that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, which left the religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing revolution in which the Papacy emerged as the head of a vast international corporation, Heather traces Christendom's chameleon-like capacity for self-reinvention and willingness to mobilize well-directed force.
Christendom's achievement was not, or not only, to define official Christianity, but - from its scholars and its lawyers, to its provincial officials and missionaries in far-flung corners of the continent - to transform it into an institution that wielded effective religious authority across nearly all of the disparate peoples of medieval Europe. This is its extraordinary story.

Believe
'I found my power when I realized it was within me, within my skin and within my soul.
It just needed to be set free.'
Leigh-Anne Pinnock's life changed overnight when she became part of the first ever girl band to win the X-Factor. The multi-platinum selling supergroup Little Mix, went on to become one of the biggest girl bands of all time.
Launched into chart-topping global fame, Leigh-Anne was living her childhood dream of becoming a popstar. But behind the scenes, as a Black woman within an industry and team with little diversity, Leigh-Anne was struggling with her identity and felt completely lost.
In her highly anticipated memoir, Leigh-Anne shares her journey from growing up in a mixed-race family in Britain to taking the pop world by storm. Honest and direct, she reveals the challenges and prejudices that stood in her path and how she overcame them by embracing her own power. Sharing the experiences and lessons that have shaped Leigh-Anne, this book will empower us all to challenge the status quo, stand up for what we believe in and go after our dreams.
In the Long Run
Democracy is future-oriented and self-correcting: today's problems can be solved, we are told, in tomorrow's elections. But the biggest issues facing the modern world - from climate collapse and pandemics to recession and world war - each apparently bring us to the edge of the irreversible. What happens to democracy when the future seems no longer open?
In this eye-opening history of ideas, Jonathan White investigates how politics has long been directed by shifting visions of the future, from the birth of ideologies in the nineteenth century to Cold War secrecy and the excesses of the neoliberal age.
As an inescapable sense of disaster defines our politics, White argues that a political commitment to the long-term may be the best way to safeguard democracy. Wide in scope and sharply observed, In the Long Run is a history of the future that urges us to make tomorrow new again.
Psychedelics
We are on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience. After fifty years of prohibition, criminalisation and fear, science is finally showing us that psychedelics are not dangerous or harmful. Instead, when used according to tested, safe and ethical guidelines, they are our most powerful newest treatment of mental health conditions, from depression, PTSD, and OCD to disordered eating and even addiction and chronic pain.
Professor David Nutt, one of the world's leading Neuropsychopharmacologists, has spent 15 years researching this field and it is his most significant body of work to date. In 2018, he co-founded the first academic psychedelic research centre - underpinned by his mission to provide evidence-based information for people everywhere. It revived interest in the understanding and use of this drug in its many forms, including MDMA, ayahuasca, magic mushrooms, LSD and ketamine. The results of this have been nothing short of ground-breaking for the future categorisation of drugs, but also for what we now know about brain mechanisms and our consciousness.
At a time where there is an enormous amount of noise around the benefits of psychedelics, this book contains the knowledge you need to know about a drug that is about to go mainstream, free from the hot air, direct from the expert.

Učebnice ájurvédy III.
Ájurvéda je lékařská věda, jejímž cílem je uzdravování, udržování kvality života a dosažení dlouhověkosti. Toužíte proniknout do tajemství nejstaršího dochovaného systému léčení na naší planetě? Tato kniha představuje postupy ájurvédy ze starobylých textů v systematickém uspořádání, jež je přístupné západní veřejnosti.
Jedna z oblíbených súter dr. Lada od Čaraky říká, že skutečný lékař zná tělo, mysl, myšlenky, pocity a vědomí pacienta. Pokud nevstoupíte do srdce svého pacienta se světlem vědomí, znalosti, soucitu a vhledu, nebudete schopni diagnostikovat jeho problém a patřičným způsobem člověka vyléčit. Žáci dr. Lada z celého světa studují ájurvédu trpělivě krok za krokem a zakotvují své vědomosti v principech systému, jenž je starší o tisíce let než západní medicínské koncepty. Poté se učí sofistikované metody hodnocení, které ájurvéda zahrnuje. Dokonalé zvládnutí těchto technik vyžaduje praxi a oddanost. Předchozí kroky, důkladně procvičené, připravují studenty na vstup do následujícího stadia, kde mohou přistoupit ke klientovi a vést ho na jeho cestě uzdravování.
Ve třetím dílu učebnice najdete komplexní informace o:
terapeutických prostředcích včetně stravy a doporučení pro životní styl,
zklidňujících a očistných terapiích,
jemných léčebných metodách zahrnujících individuální omlazující a regenerační postupy,
cvičení jógy a pránájámy,
bylinných substancích,
postupech při řešení problémů podle dóš.
Každá část jasně vysvětluje principy léčebných technik, často s nastíněnými postupy pro čtenáře, a rovněž popisuje bylinné substance a jejich praktické použití. Jedná se o zásadní zdroj informací pro každého ájurvédského praktika.
Absolutně brilantní. Tato učebnice je plná praktického poznání, jež může takto výstižně předat pouze člověk s těmi nejhlubšími znalostmi ájurvédy. Tímto textem dr. Lad sdílí se čtenáři nevyčíslitelné dary své moudrosti, jež pomáhají naplnit cíl ájurvédy: odstranit utrpení a navrátit zdraví. Jsme nekonečně vděčni. -

Cerith Wyn Evans
A definitive and timely monograph celebrating the work of ground-breaking conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans
Cerith Wyn Evans is one of today's most respected and acclaimed sculptors. Born in Wales and educated through his first language of Welsgh, his work reflects his fascination with literature, film, music, and philosophy. Evans is an artist interested in language and how this can be perceived in spatial terms.
Originally an experimental filmmaker, in the 1990s Evans started creating sculptures and installations defined by poetic conceptualism and elegant aesthetic forms. Often made of neon light, his pieces subtly disrupt existing systems of communication, either through the subversion and alteration of given spatial forms or by adopting a communal rather than a singular, authoritarian voice.
In 2003 Evans represented Wales at the country’s inaugural pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale. This book, the first comprehensive study dedicated to his work, includes contributions by luminaries such as the former Guggenheim Chief, Nancy Spector and the 2011 Venice Biennale director, Daniel Birnbaum, together with a previously unpublished text by Evans himself.
Shakespeare
Taking a curtain call with a live snake in her wig...
Cavorting naked through the Warwickshire countryside painted green...
Acting opposite a child with a pumpkin on his head...
These are just a few of the things Dame Judi Dench has done in the name of Shakespeare.
For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra.
In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O'Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare's plays with incisive clarity. While revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process, sharing her personal interpretations of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans. All brightened by her mischievous sense of humour, striking level of honesty and a peppering of hilarious anecdotes, many of which have remained under lock and key until now.
Instructive and witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi's love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent.
Europe and the Roma
The first full, comprehensive account of the cultural representation of the Roma in European history
This remarkable book describes a dark side of European history: the rejection of the Roma from their initial arrival in the late Middle Ages to the present day. To Europeans, the Roma appeared to be in complete contradiction with their own culture, because of their mysterious origins, unknown language and way of life. As representatives of an oral culture, for centuries the Roma have left virtually no written records of their own. Their history has been conveyed to us almost exclusively through the distorted images that European cultures project.
Persecuted and shunned, the Roma nonetheless spread out across the continent and became an important, indeed indispensable element in the European imagination. It is impossible to conceive of the culture of Spain, southern France and much of Central Europe without this pervasive Romani influence.
Europe and the Roma brilliantly describes the 'fascination and fear' which have marked Europeans' response to the Romani presence. Countless composers, artists and writers have responded to Romani culture and to fantasies thereof. Their projections onto a group whose illiteracy and marginalization gave it so little direct voice of its own have always been a very uneasy mixture of the inspired, the patronizing and the frighteningly ignorant. The book also shows the link between cultural violence, social discrimination and racist policies that paved the way for the genocide of the Roma.
Conan: Blood of the Serpent
Mercenary, thief, soldier, usurper…
CONAN OF CIMMERIA
As sword for hire for a mercenary troop, Conan finds himself in Sukhmet, a filthy backwater town south of the River Styx considered “the arse-end of Stygia.” Serving in the company known as Zarallo’s Free Companions, he fights alongside soldiers of fortune from Zingara, Koth, Shem, and other lands—a hard-handed band of killers loyal to anyone who pays them well.
In a Sukhmet tavern he encounters one soldier in particular—Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, a veteran of freebooters with whom Conan also sailed, launching raids out of the Barachan Isles on the Western Sea. Valeria’s reputation is that of a deadly swordswoman, a notoriety she quickly proves to be accurate. When she runs afoul of an exiled Stygian noble, however, things take a deadly turn, embroiling them both in the schemes of a priest of the serpent god Set.
The first new Conan novel in more than a decade, Blood of the Serpent leads directly into one of Robert E. Howards’s most famous sword-and-sorcery adventures, “Red Nails.” As a bonus feature that story, as well, is included in this volume.
