Lacná kniha The Blood Detective (-90%)
The past isn't like that: you can't just bury it, mark it down as history. It's taken more than 125 years, but the events of 1879 have finally washed up . . . '
It's not the best start to DCI Grant Foster's day: standing over a mutilated body in a
windswept London churchyard. Although the killer has left a rather cryptic clue.
Young genealogist Nigel Barnes is getting bored of his job researching other people's family histories. So when DCI Foster comes calling for help, he seizes the oppor
tunity, and soon uncovers another murder in the same cemetery, more than 100 years before.
When a second body is found, Foster knows the killer is sending a message the clues to which are hidden in the tangled bloodlines that lie between 1879 and
now. But time is fast running out. Because if Barnes is right about his blood-history, the killing spree has only just begun . . .
By the author of the bestselling Who Do You Think You Are? books comes a haunting novel of blood-stained family his
tories and gruesome secrets.
'A fascinating and original investigation into the dark roots of our family trees' VAL McDERMID

Hra Preteky korytnačiek
Jedna z najkrajších detských hier - jednoduché pravidlá, svižná hra a nápaditý nápad (aj dva). Nejde totiž o obyčajné preteky s hádzaním kociek a jednoducho dúfaním, že vám padne lepšie, než iným. Vyhráva korytnačka, ktorá sa prvá dostane k šalátu. Pohybujete nimi však pomocou ľahko zrozumiteľných kariet (červená jedna dopredu, ľubovoľná dozadu, posledná o dve dopredu,...). Zároveň netušíte, kto je ktorá korytnačka (každý si na začiatku iba tajne vylosuje tú svoju a všetko sa prezradí až na konci) - pohybujete teda aj korytnačkami ostatných. No a do tretice: ak á skončiť korytnačka na políčku, kde už nejaká stojí, nepostavíte ju vedľa nej, ale na ňu. Tvoria sa tak stĺpčeky korytnačiek a keď sa hýbe spodná, zvezie so sebou aj ostatné na nej...

They were the Chosen Ones. Saving the world made them heroes. Saving it again might destroy them.
The mesmerising adult debut from Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent. When Sloane Andrews and her friends defeated the Dark One, and saved the world, it nearly cost them everything. Ten years later, they are still struggling to put the battle behind them and reclaim their lives.
After all, the rest of the world has moved on...
so why can't they?Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting. Everyone else blames the PTSD - and her huge attitude problem - but really, she's hiding secrets from them secrets that keep her tied to the past and alienate her from the only four people in the world who understand her. On the tenth anniversary of the Dark One's defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones dies.
When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark One's ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold - bigger than the world itself. Last time, it took everything she had. This time, it might not be enough.

Gulag a history
This landmark book uncovers for the first time in detail one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century: the vast system of Soviet camps that were responsible for the deaths of countless millions. "Gulag" is the only major history in any language to draw together the mass of memoirs and writings on the Soviet camps that have been published in Russia and the West. Using these, as well as her own original research in NKVD archives and interviews with survivors, Anne Applebaum has written a fully documented history of the camp system: from its origins under the tsars, to its colossal expansion under Stalin's reign of terror, its zenith in the late 1940s and eventual collapse in the era of glasnost. It is a gigantic feat of investigation, synthesis and moral reckoning.

Big Little Lies

Would you like a series that has everything? Good. Because it is, emphatically, HERE' The Guardian 'Depth, class and a sense of humour' The Times 'Artful and arch, a compelling and sad satire' Vanity Fair Perfect family, perfect house, perfect life; Jane, Madeline and Celeste have it all ...or do they?

From the author of Truly Madly Guilty and The Husband's Secret comes a novel about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive. Jane hasn't lived anywhere for longer than six months since her son was born five years ago. She keeps moving in an attempt to escape her past.

Prvé kroky s Bohom
Prvé kroky s Bohom je séria lekcií navrhnutá tak, aby oboznámili najmenšie deti s Bohom a so svetom, ktorý Boh stvoril. Môžu sa použiť doma, v triede. Sú primerané veku dvoj trojročných detí. Prvé kroky s Bohom obsahujú 34 lekcií, počas ktorých sa
deti učia s Bohom, ktorý je Stvoriteľom všetkého naokolo, ktorý je aj ich Stvoriteľom, miluje ich a vie o nich všetko. Posledné tri lekcie sú určené na Vianoce a učia deti základné fakty o Vianočnom príbehu.
Prvé kroky s Bohom môžu byť použité všade
tam, kde sa pracuje s deťmi vo veku 2-3 roky. Môžete ich používať na detskej besiedke, ale aj na stretnutiach rodín. Sú dobrou prípravou k ďalšiemu vyučovaniu na detskej besiedke. K tomu, aby ste mohli podľa týchto lekcií učiť, nepotrebujete odborné
pedagogické vzdelanie. Môžu ich učiť rodičia, alebo ktokoľvek, kto má záujem o malé deti.
Prečo učiť už 2-3 ročné deti?
V tomto veku majú deti dobré predpoklady na získavanie nových poznatkov. Dokážu rozoznávať obľúbené postavičky z televízie, časo
pisov, atď. Vedia reagovať na jednoduché príkazy, napr. "pozbieraj hračky, prosím ťa," alebo "poď sa napiť". Deti reagujú na ľudí, príbehy emocionálne, sú schopné opätovať lásku rodičov a ďalších ľudí. Majú schopnosť zdokonaľovať sa v dôvere v Boha.
Veríme, že Prvé kroky s Bohom budú pomocou pri výchove detí. Keď 2 a pol ročné dievčatko videlo v lekcii "Boh stvoril svet" vázu s kvetmi, vzalo jeden kvet, ovoňalo ho, dalo mame a povedalo: "Boh ho stvoril." Nepodceňujme schopnosť malých detí reago
vať vierou na Boha, ktorý ich stvoril a miluje ich.
V tomto veku sú deti najvnímavejšie a preto by sme mali využiť príležitosť učiť ich starostlivo o Bohu spôsobom, ktorý bude základom pre ich ďalší rast až ku dospelosti v Kristovi neskôr.
Vyučovanie
2-3 ročných detí je dôležitou prácou a je hodno ju robiť dobre, hoci, ak sa robí s plným nasadením, zaberá množstvo času. Ježiš povedal: "Dovoľte dieťatkám prichádzať ku mne a nebráňte im, lebo takýchto je kráľovstvo Božie." (Lukáš 18,16) Ak sú pre
Ježiša deti tak dôležité, kto sme my, aby sme im odopierali prístup k Božiemu slovu, ktoré nám dáva život?
