Ambassador 2: Raising Hell
The second-quickest way to get yourself killed when dealing with Coldi people of the planet Asto is to look a superior in the eye. The Coldi people possess an instinct that demands the formation of hierarchical networks in which every person has a prescribed place. These networks provide stability. They also place one person at the top.
Ezhya Palayi is that person.
After having been released by his previous employers, Cory Wilson not only depends on Ezhya Palayi for his income, but he has developed an unusually friendly relationship with this man whom people on Earth would call an absolute dictator, but whose reign is benign.
The third-quickest way to get yourself killed when dealing with Coldi people is when the leader you depended on for support is suddenly no longer there, as when he goes missing because the system society relies on for interstellar travel goes down.
In a highly-strung hierarchical society, it won’t be long before someone else tries to claim the top spot, someone less benign, someone aggressive who is likely to destabilise peace between Asto and other worlds.
But by far the quickest way to get yourself killed is, as a non-Coldi outsider, to visit Asto and try to interfere in their hierarchical system, to mess with instincts you don’t feel yourself, and people who are much stronger than you.
Oh, and did you know that the average daytime temperature is well over 50 degrees C?

The Fragile Earth
In 1989, just one year after climatologist James Hansen first came before a Senate committee and testified that the earth was now warmer than it had ever been in recorded history, thanks to humankind's heedless consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered piece on climate change and what it could mean for the planet.
At the time, the piece was to some speculative to the point of alarmist; read now, McKibben's work is heroically prescient. Since then, the New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face.
The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change - its past, present, and future - taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay 'The End of Nature,' the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.
Just a Little Camera Shy
Because life's too long to be appropriate...
On the verge of losing the Malibu home she inherited from her great-aunt, Addi Dekker is failing hard to show her family she can make it as a writer. If she doesn’t want to give up her dream and go back to the soul-sucking job she happily left behind, Addi has to swallow her dislike of Hollywood and rent her bungalow out to the sexy-as-hell film producer who stole from her.
But, she has a plan (shhhh!) she'll stay out of the camera's eye and keep living there, too. It was time for Tinseltown to pay up.
Roque Gallagher is pouring his heart and savings into his first independent film to make the industry acknowledge him for his talent and not just his family name. Addi’s home is perfect for the shoot, but she’s far too tempting. He’s never been able to handle work and a relationship, and this is the film of a lifetime. Between a shrinking budget and his director quitting, the last thing he needs is a sexy-as-sin tease like Addi.
And he has a feeling there's something she's hiding...
Just a Little Camera Shy, a Scripted for Love novel book 2 by USA Today bestselling author MK Meredith is a laugh out loud and swoony romance that will keep you turning the pages! Read as a series or standalone.

House of Marionne
**Deluxe edition with special embellishments on first printing only!**
From New York Times bestselling author J. Elle comes a modern-day YA romantic fantasy series opener about a glamorous magical world of social elites, forbidden love, and a dark magic that could destroy it all. A must-read for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, and Bridgerton.
17 year-old Quell has lived her entire life on the run. She and her mother have fled from city to city, in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through Quell’s veins. Until someone discovers her dark secret. To hide from the assassin hunting her, and keep her mother out of harm’s way, Quell reluctantly inducts into a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order that she never knew existed. If she can pass their three rites of membership, mastering their proper form of magic, she’ll be able to secretly bury her forbidden magic forever. If caught, she will be killed. But becoming the perfect debutante is a lot harder than Quell imagined, especially when there’s more than tutoring happening with Jordan, her brooding mentor and? assassin in training. When Quell uncovers the deadly lengths the Order will go to defend its wealth and power, she’s forced to choose: embrace the dark magic she’s been running from her entire life or risk losing everything, and everyone, she’s grown to love. Still, she fears the most formidable monster she’ll have to face is the one inside.
Brimming with ballgowns and betrayal, magic and mystery, decadence and darkness, House of Marionne is perfect for readers who crave morally gray characters, irresistible romance, dark academia, and a deeply intoxicating and original world.

Osudy Němců z Jizerských hor v letech 1945–1948
Kniha se zabývá tématem odsunu / vyhnání Němců z Československa, jež stále zůstává z mnoha důvodů otevřené. Jejím cílem je proto stát se jedním z příspěvků k řešení této problematiky, k čemuž přispívá svým zaměřením na osudy konkrétních lidí, někdejších obyvatel oblasti pod Jizerskými horami, jmenovitě Jablonecka. Vedle osobních vzpomínek pamětníků kniha zahrnuje výčet historických fakt, jež by mohla pomoci osvětlit příčiny vzájemného odcizení, ba i nepřátelství příslušníků obou etnik žijících po staletí na území Čech, Moravy a Slezska. K těmto historickým faktům patří také základní informace o realizaci rozhodnutí, jež vedlo v letech 1945–1946 k transferu a nucené migraci více než dvou milionů sudetských Němců. Samostatnou přílohu publikace tvoří český překlad několika kapitol vzpomínkové knihy Siegfrieda Geberta Gefesselt leben in bewegten Zeiten (Žil jsem spoutaný v neklidné době). Texty naší knihy, jejíž obsah je inspirován putovní výstavou Osudy Němců z Jizerských hor po roce 1945, doprovází reprodukce množství fotografií a dalších historických dokumentů

Alexandrina da Costa - saleziánska mystička
Celý život stygmatizovanej Alexandriny bol nepretržitou modlitbou a kontinuálnym ponúkaním jej utrpenia Pánovi. Preto za normálnych okolností Ježiš svojej drahej neveste nič neodoprel, keď sa prihovárala za potreby druhých. 6. septembra 1934, keď mala Alexandrina 30 rokov, Ježiš jej povedal:
„Daj mi svoje ruky, lebo ich chcem ukrižovať spolu s mojimi; daj mi svoje nohy, lebo ich chcem ukrižovať spolu s mojimi; daj mi svoju hlavu, lebo ju chcem korunovať tŕním tak, ako to urobili mne. Daj mi svoje srdce, pretože ho chcem prebodnúť tak, ako bolo kopijou prebodnuté moje Srdce. Zasväť svoje telo mne, úplne sa mi odovzdaj... Pomôž mi pri vykúpení ľudstva.“

Pediatria pre zvedavých rodičov
PEDIATRIA pre zvedavých rodičov je kniha od slovenskej pediatričky MUDr. Kataríny Legrand, mamy dvoch malých detí, ktorá kombinuje svoje vedomosti a skúsenosti z oboch oblastí, aby pomohla rodičom zvládať najčastejšie zdravotné problémy ich detí.
Autorka v knihe poskytuje užitočné tipy a rady na zdravý vývoj detí, prevenciu chorôb, rady ako zvládnuť bežné detské ochorenia i návštevy u lekára, aby rodičia získali istotu a pohodu pri starostlivosti o svoje deti.
Kniha obsahuje dôležité informácie aj o vývoji a výžive detí, vrátane pokynov na zavádzanie príkrmov, prípravu stravy najmenším deťom, prevenciu alergií a základné zdravotné postupy.
MUDr. Katarína Legrand ponúka tipy na zvládanie kašľa, nádchy, horúčky a ďalších bežných zdravotných problémov, ktoré postihujú deti od narodenia až po adolescenciu tak, aby rodičia vedeli robiť zodpovedné rozhodnutia o liečbe svojich detí.
Autorka tiež vysvetľuje zložité lekárske pojmy jednoduchým jazykom a používa príklady z reálneho života, aby tak pomohla rodičom lepšie pochopiť a zvládnuť rôzne situácie. Táto kniha je pre rodičov cenným zdrojom informácií, ktoré im pomôžu zabezpečiť zdravie a pohodu svojim najväčším pokladom.
V knihe sa tiež dozviete to, že:
-dojčené dieťa skonzumuje denne v materskom mlieku tisícky až milióny baktérií, ktoré následne tvoria jeho mikrobióm;
-pri manipulácii s dieťaťom môže rodič denne vykonať až 700 pohybov;
-to, ako s ním zaobchádza prvé týždne, sa odrazí na nálade dieťaťa, ale aj na jeho psychomotorickom vývoji;
-každé dieťa je iné, a to platí aj pre sedenie, lozenie či chodenie, no sú míľniky, ktoré neradno prehliadnuť;
-naučiť sa poskytnúť prvú pomoc dieťaťu doma by mal vedieť každý rodič;
-ťažkosti so spánkom sú v prvých rokoch prirodzené a „na spánok budeme mať my rodičia ešte veľa času po celý zvyšok nášho života“
„Mojím cieľom je, aby ste po prečítaní tejto knihy merali cestu k doktorom čo najmenej. Vedeli, čo máte robiť už pri prvy?ch príznakoch ochorenia, ale aj to, čo nerobiť. Ako sa rozhodovať a ako jednotlivy?m problémom predchádzať. Prajem si, aby ste mali svojho sprievodcu, ktory? vám pomôže, aby bolo vaše dieťa zdravé, a keď bude choré, vedeli mu čo najskôr a správne pomôcť.“
MUDr. Katarína Legrand

When You Get The Chance
When You Get The Chance is a heartwarming read from Emma Lord, the New York Times bestselling author of the Reese Witherspoon YA Book Club pick You Have a Match.
Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price's dream of becoming a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super introverted dad, who raised Millie alone since she was a baby or her drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension. Millie needs an ally. And when an accidentally left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do - find her mum.
But how can you find a new part of your life and expect it to fit into your old one without leaving any marks? And why is it that when you go looking for the past, it somehow keeps bringing you back to what you've had all along?
Meno vetra
Volám sa Kvothe. Oslobodil som princezné od spiacich hlinených kráľov. Do tla som vypálil mesto Trebon. Strávil som noc s Felurian a neprišiel som o život ani o zdravý rozum. Keď ma vylúčili z univerzity, nemal som ani toľko rokov, v koľkých tam väčšinu študentov prijmú. Len vo svetle mesiaca som vstúpil na cesty, o ktorých sa iní báli rozprávať aj za bieleho dňa. Hovoril som s bohmi, miloval ženy a skladal piesne, pri ktorých trubadúri plakali. Možno ste o mne už počuli.
Takto sa začína príbeh, ktorý nemá v žánri fantasy literatúry obdobu. Príbeh Kvotha: chlapcovo detstvo v skupine potulných umelcov, roky, ktoré ako polodivoká sirota strávil v meste plnom zločinu, drzo odvážny, no predsa úspešný pokus vstúpiť do ťažkej a nebezpečnej školy mágie, aj život na úteku po vražde kráľa.
Meno vetra, strhujúci príbeh napísaný rukou básnika, je majstrovské dielo, ktoré čitateľa prenesie do tela a mysle čarodejníka. Ponúka príbeh hrdinu vyrozprávaný jeho vlastným hlasom. Je to príbeh o smútku, prežití, hľadaní zmyslu v jeho svete a o tom, ako spolu s nezlomnou vôľou, ktorá ho poháňala, stáli za zrodom legendy.
