Lacná kniha Zabudnutý vesmír
Cyklus poviedok Zabudnutý vesmír popisuje cez konkrétne ľudské osudy život v jednej z mnohých kolonizačných vetiev, ktorá sa pomocou hyperpriestorovej technológie dostane do vzdialenej časti vesmíru a natrvalo tam uviazne. Ľudia sa snažia prežiť, vytvoriť si nový domov a pôvodnú kolísku ľudstva - Zem (kam sa nedokážu vrátiť) - začínajú postupne pokladať za mýtus.
Poviedky Antona Stiffela sú rozdelené na priamu líniu a voľne nadväzujúcu líniu. Osobitnou kapitolou sú samostatné poviedky, ktoré nám predostierajú farbisté, spektakulárne či katastrofické príbehy zo Zeme, Slnečnej sústavy a Mliečnej dráhy.

Požárně bezpečnostní zařízení ve stavbách
Vývoj v oblasti požární bezpečnosti staveb a technologií vyžaduje široký komplex teoretických znalostí a praktických zkušeností. Zejména praktické zkušenosti při navrhování, instalaci, uvádění do provozu a při provozu požárně bezpečnostních zařízení je oblast, kterou lze obtížně v obecné formě napsat v technických či právních předpisech. Konkrétní provedení požárně bezpečnostního zařízení nelze realizovat a provozovat bez praktických zkušeností. Nové a modernější technologie jednotlivých požárně bezpečnostní zařízení umožňují jejich lepší využití a propojení s dalšími požárně bezpečnostními zařízeními. To s sebou ale přináší vícečetné varianty možných stavů, kde vzhledem k poměru jejich počtu a kombinací může vzniknout kombinace nežádoucí. Proto se problematice systémové integrity požárně bezpečnostních zařízení musí věnovat stejná pozornost, jako každému jednotlivému požárně bezpečnostnímu zařízení. V obsahu knihy jsou v oblasti systémové integrity požárně bezpečnostních zařízení uvedeny základní principy posuzování, které zohledňují základy a obecné postupy. Úvodní kapitoly knihy jsou věnovány stavbám a jejich částem, základům oboru požární bezpečnosti staveb a technologií. Další kapitoly obsahují vždy ke konkrétnímu požárně bezpečnostnímu zařízení se základními informacemi a principy. Na závěr je představena činnost složek IZS při mimořádných událostech a posuzování požární bezpečnosti riskmanagamentem pojišťoven. Kniha je určena pro studenty škol oboru požární ochrana, bezpečnostního inženýrství, technického zařízení budov, pozemního stavitelství, odbornou přípravu v jednotkách požární ochrany, pro znalosti zasahujících hasičů, oblast stavební prevence, kontrolní činnost, projektantům, investorům a široké odborné veřejnosti.

The Machine Age
A sweeping history of and meditation on humanity's relationship with machines, showing how we got here and what happens next
Faith in technological fixes for our problems is waning. Automation, which promised relief from toil, has reactivated the long-standing fear of job redundancy. Information technology, meant to liberate us from traditional authority, is placing unprecedented powers of surveillance and control in the hands of a purely secular Big Brother. And for the first time, artificial intelligence threatens anthropogenic disaster – disaster caused by our own activities. Scientists join imaginative writers in warning us of the fate of Icarus, whose wings melted because he flew too close to the sun.
This book tells the story of our fractured relationship with machines from humanity’s first tools down to the present and into the future. It raises the crucial question of why some parts of the world developed a ‘machine civilisation’ and not others, and traces the interactions between capitalism and technology, and between science and religion, in the making of the modern world.
Taking in the peaks of philosophy and triumphs of science, the foundation of economics and speculations of fiction, Robert Skidelsky embarks on a bold intellectual journey through the evolution of our understanding of technology and what this means for our lives and politics. ‘Unless we understand technology as a system of ideas rather than as a necessity,’ he writes, ‘we will be powerless to choose which technology is best suited to our needs and purposes.’
Chronofóbia
Rodinná sága odohrávajúca sa od roku 1900 až po súčasnosť má niekoľko dejových, priestorových a časových rovín. Zberateľ súčasného výtvarného umenia Florián Badínsky a jeho priatelia predstavujú súčasnú mestskú spoločnosť. Sú to štyridsiatnici, žijú v Bratislave, pohybujú sa v celom Európskom priestore, ich sociálne a rodinné vzťahy sa postupne rozkladajú, svoj boj za „svetlú budúcnosť“ prehrávajú. Floriánov prastarý otec Adam sa narodil na Vianoce v roku 1900 ako sirota. Prežil peripetie prvej polovice 20. storočia: chudobu, vysťahovalectvo, prvú a druhú svetovú vojnu, komunizmus. Vyrastal na fare v Badíne, vďaka svojmu talentu vyštudoval architektúru na univerzite v Prahe. Po štúdiách sa presťahoval do Bratislavy, kde sa aktívne podieľal na jej premene. Po manželkinej smrti vychovával syna a zároveň sa dostal do projekčných tímov významných stavieb – Nová doba, Avion, liečebný dom Machnáč a iné. Práve cez tieto stavby sledujeme historické a sociálne premeny Slovenska. Aktívne sa zúčastnil SNP, pomáhal prenasledovaným Židom a na konci vojny len so šťastím vyviazol z rúk gestapa. Ikonické stavby tvoria rámec deja aj cez príbeh Adamovho syna Mateja (most SNP, Pyramída Slovenského rozhlasu, Istropolis, pamätník SNP). Autor analyzuje vývojové vzorce nielen slovenskej spoločnosti, ale aj európskej civilizácie. Zamýšľa sa nad migráciou, klimatickými zmenami, nástupom nových technológií, enormným konzumom, stále častejšími, nezmyselne vyvolanými vojnovými konfliktami a ďalšími výzvami, ktorým bude musieť ľudstvo v najbližšej dobe čeliť.
Superspy Science
The adventures of James Bond have thrilled readers since Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale was published in 1953, and when the movie of Dr No was released in 1962, Bond quickly became the world's favourite secret agent.
Science and technology have always been central to the plots that make up the world of Bond, and in Superspy Science Kathryn Harkup explores the full range of 007's exploits and the arms, technologies, tactics and downfalls of his various foes. From the practicalities of building a volcano-based lair, to whether being covered in gold paint really will kill you, and – if your plan is to take over the world – whether it is better to use bacteria, bombs, or poison – this book has all the answers and more.
Could our favourite Bond villains actually achieve world domination? Were the huge variety of weapons and technology in Bond's arsenal from both the films and books ever actually developed in real life? And would 007 actually escape all those close shaves intact? From the plots to the gadgets to the ludicrous ways that his life is threatened, Superspy Science takes an in-depth look at the scientific world of James Bond.

The Edge of the Plain
No matter where you turn, it seems that the taut lines of borders are vibrating to – or even calling – the tune of global events
Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in human history. Beginning with the earliest known example, Crawford travels to many borders old and new: from a melting glacial landscape to the conflict-torn West Bank and the fault-lines of the US/Mexico border. He follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future – towards the virtual frontiers of the internet and the shifting geography of a world beset by climate change.
As nationalism, climate change, globalisation, technology and mass migration all collide with ever-hardening borders, something has to give. And Crawford asks, is it time to let go of the lines that divide us?
Accidental Conflict
In the short span of four years, America and China have entered a trade war, a tech war, and a new Cold War. This conflict between the world’s two most powerful nations wouldn’t have happened were it not for an unnecessary clash of false narratives. America falsely blames its trade and technology threats on China yet overlooks its shaky saving foundation. China falsely blames its growth challenges on America’s alleged containment of market-based socialism, ignoring its failed economic rebalancing.
In a hard-hitting analysis of both nations’ economies, politics, and policies, Stephen Roach argues that much of the rhetoric on both sides is dangerously misguided, amplified by information distortion, and more a reflection of each nation’s fears and vulnerabilities than a credible assessment of the risks they face. Outlining the disastrous toll of conflict escalation between China and America, Roach offers a new road map to restoring a mutually advantageous relationship.
Extraterrestrial
Harvard's top astronomer takes us inside the mind-blowing story of the first interstellar visitor to our solar system
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.
In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.
