I, Robot
Voyager Classics – timeless masterworks of science fiction and fantasy. The classic collection of robot stories from the master of the genre. In these stories Isaac Asimov creates the Three Laws of Robotics and ushers in the Robot Age.
Earth is ruled by master-machines but the Three Laws of Robotics have been designed to ensure humans maintain the upper hand:
A robot may not injure a human being or allow a human being to come to harm
A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
But what happens when a rogue robot’s idea of what is good for society contravenes the Three Laws?

End
Ian Kershaw's "The End" is a gripping, revelatory account of the final months of the Nazi war machine, from the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in July 1944 to the German surrender in May 1945. In almost every major war there comes a point where defeat looms for one side and its rulers cut a deal with the victors, if only in an attempt to save their own skins. In Hitler's Germany, nothing of this kind happened: in the end the regime had to be stamped out town by town with an almost unprecedented level of brutality. Just what made Germany keep on fighting? Why did its rulers not cut a deal to save their own skins? And why did ordinary people continue to obey the Fuhrer's suicidal orders, with countless Germans executing their own countrymen for desertion or defeatism?

The Age of Shiva
India, 1955: as the scars of Partition are just beginning to heal, seventeen-year-old Meera sits enraptured by Dev, who sings a song so infused with passion that it arouses in her the first flush of erotic longing. But it does not lead to a fairy-tale marriage. Dev's family is steeped in orthodoxy. Meera has no choice but to obey her in-laws, tolerate Dev's drunken fumblings and observe the most arduous of Hindu fasts. A move to Bombay, so that Dev can chase his dream of success as a Bollywood singer, seems like a fresh start, but soon that dream - and their marriage - turns to ashes. It is only when their son is born that things change. For the first time, Meera feels ready to shape her own destiny, to take control of her world

Verschwundener Böhmerwald
Kniha Zmizelá Šumava vypráví 21 příběhů o životě a místech, která na dnešních mapách Šumavy už nenaleznete. Do osudů obyvatel na pomezí českoněmecké hranice totiž nemilosrdně zasáhly „velké“ dějiny 20. století, nejprve obě světové války, poté odsun německých obyvatel, neprodyšné uzavření hranice a vytvoření vojenského výcvikového prostoru Dobrá voda, kterému musely ustoupit nuceně vysídlené obce i osady. Výborní vypravěči Emil Kintzl, pro nějž je Šumava celoživotní láskou, a Jan Fischer, režisér stejnojmenných dokumentů internetové televize Stream.cz, poutavě a jadrně líčí těžký a svérázný život horalů na samotách a v chudých osadách, popisují činorodý život lidí ve větších obcích a v neposlední řadě připomínají bohatou průmyslovou a kulturní historii tohoto regionu.
Každý z příběhů doprovází unikátní dobové fotografie z archivu Emila Kintzla. Současnou krajinu a úchvatnou šumavskou přírodu zachycují plnobarevné fotografie Janka Rubeše a Leoše Skokana. Příběhy Zmizelé Šumavy nejsou nostalgickým vyprávěním po časech minulých, ale především vybízí čtenáře k návštěvě míst, která leží v nádherné šumavské krajině a jsou svědky její jedinečné historie.

Talk About Street Art
From the OBEY Giant posters to Banksy's stencils and from iconic bubble letter tags to mosaic space invaders, street art is omnipresent. Graffiti and street art have long been part of our visual culture, from their origins in ancestral caves to New York City's subway walls. This book covers all aspects of an art form that is often underappreciated, ephemeral, and illegal. The diverse media and techniques employed are ever-evolving, and include graffiti, stencils, tags and lettering, interventions, urban sculptures, collage, distortions, and even new multimedia. The artist's engagement and state of mind are important components of street art; the book covers topics such as anonymity, the art form's dangerous nature, codes of conduct, and ideological engagement, as well as the interface of street art with contemporary art, pop surrealism, toy art, and music and sport. Street art is found on every continent, and the book gives focus to each country and its own modes of expression and specificities. Portraits of 30 key artists, a glossary, and an address book of important venues around the world complete the book.

Gastrophysics
A ground-breaking book by the world-leading expert in sensory science: Freakonomics for food
'Popular science at its best' - Daniel Levitin
Why do we consume 35% more food when eating with one more person, and 75% more when with three?
Why are 27% of drinks bought on aeroplanes tomato juice?
How are chefs and companies planning to transform our dining experiences, and what can we learn from their cutting-edge insights to make memorable meals at home?
These are just some of the ingredients of Gastrophysics, in which the pioneering Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses link up in the most extraordinary ways, and reveals the importance of all the 'off-the-plate' elements of a meal: the weight of cutlery, the placing on the plate, the background music and much more. Whether dining alone or at a dinner party, on a plane or in front of the TV, he reveals how to understand what we're tasting and influence what others experience. Mealtimes will genuinely never be the same again.
'Truly accessible, entertaining and informative. On every page there are ideas to set you thinking and widen your horizons' - Heston Blumenthal, OBE
'His delight in weird food facts is infectious...fascinating' - James McConnachie, Sunday Times
'Gastrophysics is packed with such tasty factual morsels that could be served up at dinner parties. If Spence can percolate all these factual morsels to the mainstream, the benefits to all of us would be obvious' - Nick Curtis, Daily Telegraph
'Spence allows people to appreciate the multisensory experience of eating' - New Yorker

Pocahontas DVD (SK)
Píše se rok 1607 a začíná průkopnické období nově příchozích obyvatelů Ameriky. Skupina britských dobrodruhů včetně chamtivého guvernéra společnosti Virginia, Johna Ratcliffa a pohledného námořního kapitána Johna Smitha připlouvá do Nového Světa na lodi "Susan Constant" s úmyslem dobývat zlato a další poklady. V té době krásná mladá indiánská princezna Pocahontas, dcera náčelníka Powhatana, přemýšlí o svém poslání v životě. Sní o tom, co se skrývá "hned za tou řekou". Měla by se provdat za Kocouma, drsného válečníka, kterého pro ni vybral její otec, nebo ji připraví osud něco jiného ? Pocahontas si pro odpověď přichází do "Kouzelného lesa", kde udílí svoje rady Babička Vrba, čtyřista let starý mystický duch, sídlící ve starém stromě. Pocahontas získává také podporu od svých dvou lesních kamarádů - rozpustilého mývala Meeko a divokého kolibříka Flita. Britští průkopníci hned po svém příjezdu plní Rateliffovy rozkazy a dobývají zlato, zanechávajíce za sebou rozsáhlé škody a zdevastovanou zem. John Smith se setkává s Pocahontas. Přestože zpočátku mají mezi sebou konflikty, jeden druhého přitahují a on díky jí poznává svět, který nepoznal nikdy předtím. Pocahontas ho poučí, že každý kámen, strom a každá živá bytost má svého živého ducha a vysvětluje mu, jak "malovat se všemi barvami větru". V kontrastu s přátelstvím mezi Smithem a Pocahontas se vztahy mezi Brity a domorodými Američany dostanou do kritického stádia, kdy každým dnem stoupá strach a nenávist. Indiáni zajmou Smitha a odsoudí ho k trestu smrti. Pocahontas statečně nasadí svůj vlastní život, když se vrhne mezi kata a Smitha a prohlásí, že napřed musí zabít ji. Smith ji později vrátí její oběť, zachrání ji od britské střely, ale je raněn. V mohutném a dojemném finále se on a Pocahontas musí rozloučit, vědí však, že jejich duchové budou navždycky spjati na cestě, která nikdy nekončí.

Drawing Perspective
Kniha nás provede krok za krokem kreslením perspektivy, které je pro mnoho z nás velmi obtížné. Perspektiva je velmi důležitá zejména ve výtvarném umění, architektuře, v praktické fotografii, ve filmu a v dalších praktických oborech lidské činnosti. Perspektiva je optický jev, jenž způsobuje to, že se vzdálené objekty jeví zdánlivě menší než objekty blízké. Jev způsobuje také to, že u stejných objektů postavených za sebou do jedné řady se objekty vzdálenější od pozorovatele jeví blíže u sebe (perspektiva tedy způsobuje optické zkracování linií). Perspektiva také způsobuje jiný jev, totiž to, že dvě či více rovnoběžných linií (např. koleje) se směrem k horizontu opticky zužují. Bod, kde se obě rovnoběžné linie setkávají, se nazývá úběžník. Jedná se však pouze o myšlené čáry a myšlené body, které v reálném světě fakticky neexistují. Perspektivní zobrazení je běžně užíváno také v deskriptivní geometrii, v technickém kreslení a dalších oborech lidské činnosti.

How to Build a Car
'Adrian has a unique gift for understanding drivers and racing cars. He is ultra competitive but never forgets to have fun. An immensely likeable man.' Damon Hill The world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir. How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved. A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form - he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994. Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling - its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.
