On This Modern Highway, Lost in the Jungle
In 1926, the communist avant-garde poet Konstantin Biebl (18981951) travelled from Czechoslovakia to the Dutch East Indies. In his texts, poetic and often comic, both landlocked Bohemia and the colonized tropical islands are seen disorientingly anew, like mirrors looking at themselves in each other. On This Modern Highway, Lost in the Jungle takes the reader on a journey crisscrossing the poets life and work, with particular attention to his travel writing and his dreams and memories of travel, as they mirror the book authors own life experience as a Czech scholar of Indonesia living in island Southeast Asia. Biebls poetry and travels are also the books point of departure for a broader exploration of the intersections of travel and poetry, the attitudes to colonial/social injustice, and the representation of otherness in Czech literary and visual imagination, beyond Biebls times. In its attention to how poetic travel reflects the Czech historical experience in the shadow of imperial nations, the book moves scholarly reflection on literary travel, modernity, and colonialism to a new ground.
Jan Mrázek grew up in Czechoslovakia and lives on an island in the Malay Archipelago. He is Associate Professor in Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore and has published widely on Indonesia, seafaring, and Czech travel writing.

Among The Dead
When a beautiful and profoundly autistic boy named Hector is found hideously throat-cut in a Bronx row house, it's his father, a callous and deceitful widower with gang ties, who emerges as the prime suspect.
Reluctantly catching the case is A.D.A. Alex Greco, himself the wounded father of an autistic son who died at age three. A relative newcomer to the challenging and often brutal world of New York's toughest borough, Alex has been excelling in this environment for two years, rebuilding his shattered personal life and finding love again with a brilliant forensic psychologist, Dr. Nikki Jaynes.
But Alex guards a horrific secret from his own past, and prosecuting Hector's case will do more than re-open old wounds - it may tear apart his present life as well. Teamed up with two savvy and colorful NYPD detectives, they build a strong case against the boy's father, Norman Ruiz. But twists unfold as similarities are discovered by the Medical Examiner between Hector's case and two recent adult murders, a fact which could exonerate Norman or make him a suspect in multiple homicides.
Another murder shatters the case from the inside out. All the while, echoes from Alex's compromised past continue to reverberate, threatening everything he's rebuilt as a case that now haunts him speeds toward its shocking conclusion.

The Big Penis Book
"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that, perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as shallow as this premise?"
Done! The Big Penis Book features over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s, including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino, Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format.
Photos come not just from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small, or just right-ask for a better deal?

Private Investigator Helen Hartsock returns home to the Appalachian Mountains. Searching for a missing person hardly anyone misses.She finds Martha Phelps: a woman with a mysterious past and fiercely loyal friends.And a deep knowledge of the secrets the mountains hold.Will Helen get answers, or regret asking in the first place?

An excerpt from The Definition of Crime:
A Mystery Almost No One Cares to SolveHelen was determined to follow the path to wherever Rodney Blevins ended his days, no matter how it twisted or turned. Almost as determined as his family, even if no one else seemed to care.She pretended to read and watched Martha load everything into one washer while everyone else was still busy sorting into two, sometimes three machines. All typical behavior for this crew.But instead of standing around and chatting with her friends, Martha stared right at Helen.Not good.Then she walked over and sat beside her, which was worse.“Figured I should introduce myself,” Martha said, her voice quiet but a bit rough, as if she’d shouted a lot in her life. “Since we seem to have noticed each other for several days in a row now.”

Bitva o vlny
Rok 1938 byl přelomovým momentem jak v evropských dějinách, tak v historii médií. Když Hitler obsadil Rakousko a obrátil pozornost k Československu, byl rozhlas přímo v centru dění. Publikace Bitva o vlny sleduje, jak se mnichovská krize projevovala ve vysílání rozhlasových stanic v Československu, Německu, Británii a Spojených státech, a poukazuje na to, jak zásadní roli rádio sehrálo v době před podepsáním mnichovské dohody, ale i poté. Je to příběh propagandy a kontrapropagandy, cenzury a autocenzury, ale také odvahy a novátorství. Mnichov byl osudovým krokem na cestě ke druhé světové válce; ale se stal také počátkem věku moderních elektronických médií.
Boj o Filipíny
V polovině roku 1944 ztrácely japonské armády v Tichomoří jednu pozici za druhou. Po dobytí strategicky významných ostrovů v Marianách bylo ve spojeneckých štábech rozhodnuto, že příští úder bude směřovat proti Filipínám. Pro Japonce se měla očekávaná pozemní a námořněletecké bitva změnit v rozhodující pokus zvrátit celkovou nepříznivou situaci. Přes masové nasazení sebevražedných pilotů kamikaze prohráli Japonci na souši a v největším námořním střetnutím všech dob i na moři. Za bojů o Leyte byl zničen výkvět japonských ozbrojených sil a po třech letech od Pearl Harboru již Japonci nedokázali materiální a lidské ztráty takového rozsahu nahradit.
