Moody
'Amy's book is everything I should have learned at school. It is a reminder to empower ourselves, in a world that still sadly lacks so much knowledge around women's health, by getting to know our own bodies more intimately - with the help of technology built by women' Emma Gannon
'Moody is a fascinating and friendly guide for you to understand you better.' Melissa Hemsley
'Knowledge is power and this book equips you with the power to unlock potential and happiness.' Poppy Jamie, author of Happy Not Perfect
There is a secret inside you which, once you understand it fully, has the capacity to unlock untold potential. Once you learn the science of your hormones, you will be able to harness it forever.
Hormones were something Amy Thomson, founder and CEO of leading women's health app and tech service Moody, never paid attention to, until one day her periods stopped and what had been an inconvenience each month became a barometer for her body's health and mental happiness.
When she discovered that her hormonal burnout was driven by stress, she quit her job and focused on trying to understand how her body worked, to establish why and how she had pushed herself too far.
In this guide, Amy shares the research and science behind how our hormones work for twenty-first-century survival, how understanding them can help you build better and healthier routines, and why the systems and cycles inside us are an invisible but powerful force.
With insights from nutritionists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists, personal trainers and others, Moody provides a holistic and practical blueprint for understanding your hormones and optimising your life around them.
Your Blood, My Bones
Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she's just inherited - to burn it to the ground. But during her final walkthrough of her childhood home, she makes a shocking discovery in the basement - Peter, the boy she once considered her best friend, strung up in chains and left for dead.
Unbeknownst to Wyatt, Peter has suffered hundreds of ritualistic deaths on her family's property. Semi-immortal, Peter never remains dead for long, but he can't really live, either. Not while he's bound to the farm, locked in a cycle of grisly deaths and painful rebirths. There's only one way for him to break free. He needs to end the Westlock line.
He needs to kill Wyatt.
With Wyatt's parents gone, the spells protecting the property have begun to unravel, and dark, ancient forces gather in the nearby forest. The only way for Wyatt to repair the wards is to work with Peter - the one person who knows how to harness her volatile magic. But how can she trust a boy who's sworn an oath to destroy her? When the past turns up to haunt them in the most unexpected way, they are forced to rely on one another to survive, or else tear each other apart.
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.

When private detective and former cop Henry Kimball is hired to investigate a cheating husband, he senses all is not quite what it seems, and before he knows it he's gotten far too close to the other woman.

Výbušniny a pyrotechnika v bezpečnostní praxi
Tato monografie seznamuje čtenáře s obecnou teorií výbušnin a dává ucelený přehled o těchto výrazných energetických materiálech jako jsou trhaviny, třaskaviny, střeliviny, pyrotechnické slože a improvizovaně vyráběné výbušniny. Uvádí vlastnosti konkrétních druhů výbušnin, charakterizuje jejich využití a taktéž jejich zneužitelné umístění v nástražných výbušných systémech (NVS). Zaměřuje se na prostředky používané při pyrotechnické činnosti, které směřují k identifikaci, manipulaci a likvidaci nastražených NVS a na provedení pyrotechnických prohlídek v různých objektech. Policisté, příslušníci HZS ČR či pracovníci SBS se mohou aktivně setkat s těmito materiály a technikou při destrukčních pracích, při uvolňování zavalených komunikací, při nálezu NVS, při záchytu nedovolené výroby výbušnin a pyrotechnických složí ve formě ilegálně dovezené a prodávané zábavné pyrotechniky apod. Pasivně pak při řešení havarijních situací, při vyšetřování různých katastrof, při trestných činech souvisejících s použitím výbušnin, jejich ilegální výrobě, při nálezu výbušnin a munice, atd. Táto tématika má ryze teoretický význam, je třeba zdůraznit, že jakákoliv manipulace s výbušninami přísluší pouze osobám, kteří mají kvalifikaci pyrotechnik, nebo střelmistr. V závěru monografie je uveden postup při použití trhavin k odstraňování ledových překážek při vzniklých mimořádných událostech v zimním období, které ohrožují dané oblasti a obyvatelé žijící v kontaktu s vodními toky. Táto kapitola pak uvádí i výsledky posledních bezpečnostních výzkumů MVČR při vývoji a použití nově vyvinutého systému speciálních sekvenčních náloží k rozrušování nebezpečně se tvořících ledových bariér.
Finding Eden
The second book in the Acadia Duology, a forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation ARCHER’S VOICE.
When the world as you know it has ended, when all that you love has been washed away, where do you find strength?
Calder and Eden are free from the stifling grasp of Acadia, but the new world they’ve stepped into is just as isolating. Each convinced the other died in the flood that decimated their community, they’re forced into modern life, hearts broken, futures unclear. After all they sacrificed to be together, a life without one another, forever haunted by grief and memories, seems impossible to bear.
But they do bear it. They survive. And when they meet by chance years later, happiness, for once, finally seems within their grasp.
Still, the past is a bright, burning pain between them, and Calder and Eden cannot truly move on until they lay it to rest. With Acadia’s story forced into the public eye and dangerous questions mounting, the two must untangle the truths of the life they came from to discover who they are and who they might become together.
Only, what they discover might drown them for good.

Notes on an Execution
Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours.
He knows what he's done, and now awaits the same fate he forced on those girls, years ago. Ansel doesn't want to die; he wants to be celebrated, understood.
But this is not his story.
As the clock ticks down, three women uncover the history of a tragedy and the long shadow it casts. Lavender, Ansel's mother, is a seventeen-year-old girl pushed to desperation. Hazel, twin sister to his wife, is forced to watch helplessly as the relationship threatens to devour them all. And Saffy, the detective hot on his trail, is devoted to bringing bad men to justice but struggling to see her own life clearly.
This is the story of the women left behind.
Blending breathtaking suspense with astonishing empathy, Notes On An Execution presents a chilling portrait of womanhood as it unravels the familiar narrative of the American serial killer, interrogating our cultural obsession with crime stories, and asking readers to consider the false promise of looking for meaning in the minds of violent men.
Understanding Media
An authoritative and accessible guide to the world’s most influential force – the contemporary media
Our lives are more mediated than ever before. Adults in economically advanced countries spend, on average, over eight hours per day interacting with the media. The news and entertainment industries are being transformed by the shift to digital platforms. But how much is really changing in terms of what shapes media content? What are the impacts on our public and imaginative life? And is the Internet a democratising tool of social protest, or of state and commercial manipulation?
Drawing on decades of research to examine these and other questions, Understanding Media interrogates claims about the Internet, explores how representations in TV and film may influence perceptions of self, and traces overarching trends while attending to crucial local context, from the United States to China, Norway to Malaysia, and Brazil to Britain. Understanding Media is an accessible and essential guide to the world's most influential force - the contemporary media.

The Future of Competitive Strategy
How legacy firms can combine their traditional strengths with the power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy for the digital era.
How can legacy firms remain relevant in the digital era? In The Future of Competitive Strategy, strategic management expert Mohan Subramaniam explains how firms can leverage both their traditional strengths and the modern-day power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy. Drawing on the experiences of a range of companies, including Caterpillar, Sleep Number, and Whirlpool, he explains how firms can benefit from data’s enlarged role in modern business, develop digital ecosystems tailored to their unique business needs, and use new frameworks to harness the power of data for competitive advantage.
Subramaniam presents digital ecosystems as a combination of production and consumption ecosystems, which can be used by legacy firms to unlock the value of data at various levels—from improving operational efficiencies to creating new data-driven services and transforming traditional products into digital platforms. He explores the ways sensors and the Internet of Things provide new kinds of customer data; presents the concept of digital competitors—other firms that have access to similar data; discusses the new digital capabilities that firms need to develop; and addresses privacy and security issues associated with data sharing.
Who needs this book? Any firm that wants to revitalize traditional business models, offer a richer customer experience, and expand its competitive arena into new digital ecosystems.
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.

When government officials open fire on protestors in broad daylight, both friends are wounded, and their lives forever changed.
Over the years that follow, Khaled, Mustafa and their friend Hosam, a writer, are bound together by their shared history.

A drunken dare turns into a college student’s chance to confront his own sexuality—by visiting a male brothel!
For college student Haiga, starting school in the big city is a chance to make new friends and try new things. On the first day of classes, he spots an impossibly gorgeous upperclassman named Kanae strumming a guitar and decides to join the school’s rock band. But later, when a drunken dare gives Haiga the opportunity to visit a male brothel, he finds his crush employed there as a sex worker!
Haiga lets Kanae introduce him to gay sex, and afterward his innocent crush on Kanae is replaced with a whole new type of attraction. Even as their bond outside the brothel strengthens, Kanae will only be intimate inside its confines—and only in certain ways. What will it take for the two to go beyond experimentation and forge a real relationship?
Vzhůru po okapové rouře!
V próze by člověk poezii nehledal. Je stejně nepravděpodobná, jako již poněkud letitý básník, šplhající v Ostravě po okapové rouře do podkrovního pokojíku sexy doktorky. Přesto jsou obě tyto skutečnosti v novém románu Miroslava Stoniše již po přečtení několika stran reálné, akční a životaschopné. Aspoň pro čtenáře, oceňující bohatost imaginace dějových peripetií a jiskru Nezvalovských metafor, tak zpestřujících saturaci našeho všedního života.
Vytvářet a formovat poezii v próze je Stonišovou osobitou specializací. Nechal-li ji vykvést na ostravském úhoru, jsou její květy o to více překvapivě barevné. Je to snad rovněž poprvé, co se Stodolní ulice objevuje ne v krimi zprávách, ale v krásné próze. Osobitý a unikátní přístup k románové formě, poprvé použitý v románu Paterek a pastýřka laní a odměněný Cenou Knižního klubu, dotáhl nyní autor k dokonalosti.
Literární kritik Milan Blahynka román charakterizuje: "... snad se mi podařilo docenit aspoň z větší části nepochybné přednosti této nejnovější významůplné rozpustilosti. Na prvních desítkách stran se zdálo, že po nostalgicky laděné memoárové Vůni (Vdechoval jsem vůni potoka...) a sarkastickém Šampaňském (Rothschildovo šampaňské) přichází autor s lyrickým vyznáním, ale tato knížka je víc, je v ní i ta nostalgie, i sarkasmus a hlavně vančurovská dobrá míra."
