Mean Baby
Selma Blair has played many archetypal roles: gullible ingenue in Cruel Intentions. Preppy ice queen in Legally Blonde. Fire-starter in Hellboy. Muse to Karl Lagerfeld. Face of Chanel. Cover model. Advocate for the multiple sclerosis community. But before all of that, Selma was known best for being one thing: a mean baby. In a memoir that is as wildly funny as it is emotionally shattering, Selma Blair tells the captivating story of growing up and finding her truth.
The first story Selma Blair Beitner ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. With her mouth pulled in a perpetual snarl and a head so furry it had to be rubbed to make way for her forehead, Selma spent years living up to her terrible reputation: biting her sisters, lying spontaneously, getting drunk from Passover wine at the age of seven, and behaving dramatically so that she would be the center of attention.
Although Selma went on to become a celebrated Hollywood actress and model, she could never quite shake the periods of darkness that overtook her, the certainty that there was a great mystery at the heart of her life. She often felt like her arms might be on fire, a sensation not unlike electric shocks, and she secretly drank to escape.
Over the course of this beautiful and, at times, shocking memoir, Selma lays bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to her brilliant and complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. There is brutal violence, passionate love, true friendship, the gift of motherhood and, finally, the simultaneous devastation and surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. In a voice that is powerfully original, fiercely intelligent, and full of hard-won wisdom, Selma Blair's Mean Baby is a deeply human memoir and a true literary achievement.

The Devil Makes Three
When Tess and Eliot stumble upon an ancient book hidden in a secret tunnel beneath their school library, they accidentally release a devil from his book-bound prison, and he'll stop at nothing to stay free. He'll manipulate all the ink in the library books to do his bidding, he'll murder in the stacks, and he'll bleed into every inch of Tess's life until his freedom is permanent. Forced to work together, Tess and Eliot have to find a way to re-trap the devil before he kills everyone they know and love, including, increasingly, each other. And compared to what the devil has in store for them, school stress suddenly doesn't seem so bad after all.
This is a fast-paced YA crossover/gothic horror debut, with a strong romance and an eerie, page-turning plot that will make this a great choice for fans of VE Schwab and Library of the Unwritten by AJ Hackwith. The book is the perfect blend of dark humor, supernatural suspense, and rich, compelling characters.
Hatalom, mámor, Toszkána 1: Toszkána vére
Veszteség nélkül nincs változás, de vajon a szerelem rá tud venni arra, hogy fejest ugorjunk az ismeretlenbe?
Cathlyn Keyes élete gyökeresen megváltozik, amikor egy csúnya szakítás után vőlegénye elől egy toszkán borbirtokra menekül átgondolni a jövőjét. Katie első pillantásra beleszeret a lankás, hullámzó dombokkal, magasba törő tujasorokkal, napfényben fürdőző szőlőtőkékkel és az este ezüstös fényébe burkolózó rusztikus kőépületekkel tarkított toszkán tájba... és nem csak a tájba. Hamarosan megismeri a sármos Danielét, aki felvillantja előtte a változás lehetőségét.
Daniele Allegrini évek óta azért küzd, hogy megmentse a családi birtokot a csődtől. Mindene a szőlő és a borkészítés, de be kell ismernie, az értékesítés kegyetlen versenyt diktáló világa távol áll tőle. A mindent irányítani akaró, olasz mentalitása miatt nehezen viseli a birtokra érkező okoskodó, makrancos és makacs Katie-t, aki elhatározza, hogy segít Danielének kilábalni az anyagi válságból.
A Toszkána vére a Hatalom, mámor, Toszkána-sorozat első része, amelyben az írónő egy vakmerő, olasz utazásra invitálja az olvasóját. Ez a könyv olyan, mint egy különleges bor: ínycsiklandó, nemes és mámorító, megfűszerezve egy kis pikantériával. Ha belekóstolsz, garantáltan még többre vágysz majd. A történet a Toszkán örökös című kötetben folytatódik.

Our Final Invention
Corporations and government agencies around the world have for years been pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail - human-level intelligence. But once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine.
First published ten years ago, Our Final Invention predicted much of the artificial 'intelligence explosion' that is now ripping through our culture, and was named by Elon Musk as one of five books everyone should read about the future. Now with an urgent new preface, James Barrat's landmark work explores the ethics, history and future perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to?

Transfigured Night
Píše se rok 1992, od pádu komunismu uběhly tři roky, Československo se chystá rozdělit na dva samostatné státy a věhlasná tanečnice a choreografka Leonora Marty se vrací domů. Po návratu do země, kterou opustila, musí čelit třem vztahům: k městu svého mládí, k minulosti své vlasti a novému románku s německým ctitelem, Thomasem Aspergerem. Vzhledem k tomu, že Thomas je potomkem odsunutých sudetských Němců, jsou všechny tři vztahy neoddělitelně propojeny.
Román, který poprvé vyšel v roce 1995 v němčině, vypráví příběh hrdinky, která sdílí stejný osud s jeho autorkou. Provádí čtenáře jejím rodným městem a současným světem. Transfigured Night je mistrovským dílem české literatury, které čerpá inspiraci z osobitého stylu Leoše Janáčka a Thomase Pynchona. Je důkazem toho, že národní literatura nemusí být psaná v jediném jazyce.

Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You
Why are we often convinced that we're right even when we're wrong?
Why are we jealous, or paranoid, even when we have absolutely no reason to be?
Why is it so easy for fake news to spread around the globe and fool us?
It's because we don't see the world as it is, rather we reconstruct it in our mind. Reality is way too complex and multiple to be apprehended by our capacities of attention, which are quite limited, as well as our brain abilities. That is why our perception of the world is subjective and various elements influence the way we acquire knowledge and form opinions. Our brain is recreating the world in its own way - most of the time for our own good: how hard would it be if, before making a choice, we had to know about all the options available in a given situation? It would take us forever to choose an item of clothing in a store, or a meal in a restaurant! Luckily, our brain can estimate: even if it makes us imperfect and subject to illusion, delusion and error, it allows us to reconstruct the world as we know it, and live in it.
However, these very useful mechanisms can sometimes mislead us and have a rather negative impact on our actions, beliefs and opinions: when our brain behaves that way, we say it is biased. Albert Moukheiber gives us tips and tricks to fight against these cognitive biases - the first one being not to trust ourselves too much and to always doubt our thinking processes, especially in this era where social networks spread information like an epidemic. In this book, filled with multiple examples from our daily lives and psychosocial experiments, Moukheiber explores the building blocks of our perception, cognition and behavior, which are involved in acquiring knowledge or forming opinions.
