Narconomics - How to Run a Drug Cartel
Everything drug cartels do to survive and prosper they've learnt from big business - brand value and franchising from McDonald's, supply chain management from Walmart, diversification from Coca-Cola. Whether it's human resourcing, R&D, corporate social responsibility, off-shoring, problems with e-commerce or troublesome changes in legislation, the drug lords face the same strategic concerns companies like Ryanair or Apple. So when the drug cartels start to think like big business, the only way to understand them is using economics. In Narconomics, Tom Wainwright meets everyone from coca farmers in secret Andean locations, deluded heads of state in presidential palaces, journalists with a price on their head, gang leaders who run their empires from dangerous prisons and teenage hitmen on city streets - all in search of the economic truth.

'Beautiful ... The story of an extraterrestrial visitor from another planet is designed mainly to say something about life on this one' NEW YORK TIMES
Thomas Jerome Newton is an extraterrestrial from the planet Anthea, which has been devastated by a series of nuclear wars, and whose inhabitants are twice as intelligent as human beings. When he lands on Earth - in Kentucky, disguised as a human - it's with the intention of saving his own people from extinction. Newton patents some very advanced Anthean technology, which he uses to amass a fortune. He begins to build a spaceship to help the last 300 Antheans migrate to Earth. Meanwhile, Nathan Bryce, a chemistry professor in Iowa, is intrigued by some of the new products Newton's company brings to the market, and already suspects Newton of being an alien. As Bryce and the FBI close in, Newton finds his own clarity and sense of purpose diminishing.

Stranger Things: Rebelka Robin
Střední škola je příšera, která pohltí všechno, co máte rádi. Tohle moc dobře ví Robin Buckleyová, oblíbená postava třetí řady hororového sci-fi seriálu televize Netflix a nyní také hrdinka románu Rebelka Robin.
Je začátek školního roku a na střední škole v Hawkinsu se opět rozjíždí závod o to, kdo bude normálnější. Plán je jasný: kluci si najdou holku, holky si najdou kluka a povedou nudné řeči o škole a budoucí kariéře. Robin, která hraje na lesní roh, umí několik jazyků a trousí jedovaté poznámky, tuhle „normálnost“ předstírat umí – dělá to celé roky v naději, že si pokud možno nikdo nevšimne, jak je jiná. Jenže teď se přidala jedna okolnost, která do hrdinčiny pečlivě budované image nezapadá, něco, co Robin teprve zjišťuje: líbí se jí holky. Jediný způsob, jak zůstat sama sebou, je dát provinčnímu Hawkinsu vale a prchnout na léto do Evropy. Ale jak, když nemá peníze, rodiče by asi nebyli nadšení a na obzoru není nikdo, s kým by se do tohoto dobrodružství mohla pustit?
Záchranná stanica 3: Medveď Mišo
„Poviem vám, takého ukecaného medveďa som ešte nevidel,“ spustil Maco namiesto pozdravu.
„Papuľka sa mu nezavrela, odkedy sme vyrazili.“
Lula mlčala. Medvieďaťa sa nevedela dočkať.
Tento chlpáč bude celkom prvý, za ktorého má zodpovednosť. Ich zvítanie si predstavovala od momentu, keď jej to Maco oznámil. Predstavovala si, ako si čupne, natiahne k nemu ruku, medvedík ju oňuchá a pritúli sa k nej.
Nový láskyplný príbeh zo Záchrannej stanice v Zázrivej!

Bdělost
Probouzet lidi a odhalovat jim pravdu o jejich vlastní velikosti – to je cíl, který si Anthony de Mello kladl při své práci s lidmi, a tedy i cíl této knihy, která jeho práci s lidmi zpětně zachycuje. Jeho schopnost odhalovat mylnost našich přesvědčení a scestnost našich sebeklamů a iluzí nám nemusí být vždy příjemná, ale přesto je to dar. Dar pravdy, která čistí a léčí naše rány, dar inspirace k novému životu, dar láskyplné pobídky k probuzení a k bdělosti.

Vláda kráľa
Je mocný, je nedotknuteľný. A vždy si vydobyje svoje.
Jonathan King je každou bunkou verný svojmu priezvisku. Je mocný. Nedotknuteľný. Skorumpovaný. Bol to zároveň manžel mojej mŕtvej sestry a je odo mňa oveľa starší. Keď som ho ako bezradné dieťa prvýkrát stretla, považovala som ho za boha.
Teraz sa mu musím postaviť, aby som svoje podnikanie ochránila pred jeho neľútostným zovretím. No netušila som, že vyhlásiť vojnu kráľovi ma bude stáť všetko. Keď Jonathan po niečom túži, vydobyje si svoje.
Teraz uprel pozornosť na mňa. Chce si vziať moje telo, ale aj srdce a dušu. Bojujem, ale kráľovi sa nedá uniknúť. Nie v jeho kráľovstve.
