The Theory of Everything Else
This is not a book of facts; it's a book of 'facts'. Should you finish it believing we became the planet's dominant species because predators found us too smelly to eat; or that the living bloodline of Christ is a family of Japanese garlic farmers - well, that's on you.
Why are we here? Do ghosts exist? Did life on Earth begin after a badly tidied-up picnic? Was it just an iceberg that sank the Titanic? Are authors stealing their plotlines from the future? Will we ever talk to animals? And why, when you're in the shower, does the shower curtain always billow in towards you?
We don't know the answers to any of these questions. But don't worry, no matter what questions you have, you can bet on the fact that there is someone (or something) out there, investigating it on your behalf. From the sports stars who use cosmic energy to office plants investigating murders, The Theory of Everything Else will act as a handbook for those who want to think differently.

Thinking 101
Why do we think we're better prepared for job interviews than we are? Why does no one act on climate change? Why do we over think when something bad happens to us?
Renowned psychologist Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called 'Thinking' to help students examine the biases that cause people so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university's most popular courses. Now, for the first time, she presents key insights from her years of teaching and research.
It's well known that our minds are tripped up by error, cognitive bias and prejudice. But knowing that isn't enough: the thinking problems still exist. In this clear guide, Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn gives clear and practical steps to actually change our thinking. The natural follow-up to Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, Thinking 101 shows how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases, but the lives of everyone around us. It is required reading for everyone who wants to think - and live - better.
Čie sú to vlny
Po skončení druhej svetovej vojny odovzdá istý žialiaci rybár do miestnych novín báseň – burcujúce volanie po nádeji, zmysle života... a kameňoch. Aké je jej posolstvo? Pošlite mi kameň za každého človeka, o ktorého ste prišli, a ja postavím niečo, čo bude darúvať život. Tá báseň sa dostane ďalej, než kedy Robert Bliss zamýšľal, a zmení celý národ. Malý prístav na mainskom pobreží zaplavia balíky so skalami a on sa svojimi mozoľnatými rukami pustí do práce.
O niekoľko desaťročí neskôr sa Annie Blissová vráti do Ansel-by- -the-Sea, lebo veľký Bob, muž, ktorý jej poskytol útočisko počas najťažšieho leta jej detstva, potrebuje pomoc. Priamo na mieste ju však čaká záhada: v Bobovom dome narazí na hromadu ťažkých krabíc. Spomienky na kamenné ruiny na neďalekom ostrove oživia v Annie dušu antropologičky a ona sa rozhodne nájsť odpovede na svoje otázky.
Spolu so sympatickým a tajomným mestským poštárom odkrýva Annie celý príbeh, vrstvu po vrstve. Zatúži opätovne vzkriesiť nádej, na ktorej veľkému Bobovi kedysi tak veľmi záležalo, a zároveň zistiť, čo spôsobilo rozkol jej rodiny. Ibaže opraviť niečo, čo tak dlho ležalo zlomené, si od nej a od jej milovaných môže žiadať viac, než sú pripravení dať.

Temný vzorec
Doktor Theo Cray je proslulý tím, že za použití matematických metod dokáže vypátrat sériové vrahy. Jenže pak je vystaven působení patogenu ovlivňujícímu mozkovou činnost a vědomí, že má v těle virus, který z něj samotného může udělat zabijáka, mu zničí pověst i vyšetřování a on začne pochybovat o vlastní příčetnosti. Aby zachránil nevinné životy i sám sebe, sleduje Cray každé nové vodítko v případu vyšinuté zdravotní sestry, přestože pomalu ztrácí kontakt s realitou. Pokud má však dopadnout chameleonskou vražedkyni, musí čelit vlastní temné stránce, protože pouze v nebezpečných stínech najde to, co se snaží ulovit. A pro Craye je výprava nezaložená na výpočtech, ale pouze na intuici, tím nejděsivějším podnikem v jeho životě…

Nebo nie je výmysel 2. vydanie
Len trojročný Colton vyrozprával rodičom, ako počas operácie opustil svoje telo. Dokázal, že neklame, keď presne popísal, čo robili rodičia v inej časti nemocnice, kým on ležal na operačnom stole. Vylíčil, ako navštívil nebo, a opakoval slová ľudí, ktorých tam stretol, hoci predtým ich nikdy nevidel, ba dokonca spomenul udalosti, čo sa odohrali dávno predtým, než prišiel na svet. Navyše ohromil rodičov opismi a záhadnými podrobnosťami o nebesách presne podľa Biblie, hoci nevedel čítať. S dojemnou naivnosťou a detsky smelou úprimnosťou Colton, vykresľuje stretnutie s dávno zosnulými členmi rodiny. Hovorí o Ježišovi a anjeloch, tvrdí, aký „veľký, fakt veľký“ je Boh, a ako veľmi nás miluje. Kniha Nebo nie je výmysel v podaní Coltonovho otca, no vyrozprávaná nenapodobiteľne prostými chlapcovými slovami, poodhaľuje svet, ktorý nás čaká po smrti – kde, ako vraví Colton, „nikto nie je starý a nenosí okuliare“.

Tiger Woods
Based on three years of extensive research and reporting, two of today's most acclaimed investigative journalists, Jeff Benedict of Sports Illustrated and eleven-time Emmy Award winner Armen Keteyian, deliver the first major biography of Tiger Woods - sweeping in scope and packed with groundbreaking, behind-the-scenes details of the Shakespearean rise and epic fall of a global icon.
In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of fourteen major golf championships and seventy-nine PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T and Gatorade.
But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years - one that exploded in the aftermath of a late-night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional life off a cliff. In Tiger Woods, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods?
Drawing on more than four hundred interviews with people from every corner of Woods's life - friends, family members, teachers, romantic partners, swing coaches, business associates, Tour pros and members of Woods's inner circle - Benedict and Keteyian construct a captivating psychological profile of an African-American child programmed by an attention-grabbing father and the original Tiger Mom to be the 'chosen one', to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well. But at what cost?
Benedict and Keteyian provide the startling answers in a biography, updated for this edition, destined to make headlines and linger in the minds of readers for years to come.

Lacná kniha Elizabeth (-90%)
Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has won two Academy Awards and starred in over sixty films. She is just as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has been written about before ...but never like this. This moving book traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she made twelve movies, including Cleopatra") that she would learn life lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life and, finally, be the catalyst for her recovery from alcoholism in the 1980s. This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the 1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is not just a star's biography ...it's an unforgettable woman's story."

Daughter of Smoke and Bone
Errand requiring immediate attention. Come.
The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things.
When Brimstone called, she always came.
In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.
Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.
Videné z nevidna
Táto kniha určite nie je všedná. Je to antológia poetiek a básnikov, ktorí sú alebo boli (tí, čo už nie sú medzi nami) nevidiaci. Niektorých pripravil osud o zrak od narodenia, iní oň prišli v detstve či v dospelosti. Uzavretí do večnej tmy – ale ich verše svedčia o tom, koľko z nášho sveta v skutočnosti vidia, koľko toho o ňom vedia, koľko vedia o ľudských vzťahoch a podstate nášho bytia!
Zvykne sa hovoriť, že ľudia, ktorí nedisponujú tým azda najdôležitejším ľudským zmyslom, sú obdarení vyššou mierou senzitivity ostatných zmyslov. Asi to platí. Ale tí, ktorých básne sú v tejto knihe, disponujú aj schopnosťou tvorivo narábať so slovami a ich významami, esteticky zobraziť „nevidenú“ realitu, svoje poznanie, pocity a city. Ich situáciu presne vystihujú verše jedného z nich, Ivana Čičmanca: „Tam v tichosti, v tme, / ktorá už nie je tmou, vnútorným / hmatom znovuobjavíš / poddajné kontúry všetkých vecí, /ich tajomné, sebatvorné /opojenie...“ Čítajte, prosím, túto knihu s otvorenými očami a srdcom, ale aj „vnútorným hmatom“!
Knihu inicioval a zostavil Milan Resutík a edične pripravil Igor Hochel. Ako ilustrácie sú použité výtvarné diela nevidiacej sochárky Marianny Jánošíkovej-Machalovej, dizajn a zalomenie publikácie Matúš Chalupa.
Celá publikácia je k dispozícii aj jako audiokniha cez QR kód, ktorý je uvedený na záložke v knihe.
