Lacná kniha Scarpettová
Kay Scarpettová opustila soukromou forenzní patologickou praxi v Charlestonu a odjela do New Yorku, protože ji místní policie požádala, aby vyšetřila jednoho zraněného pacienta na psychiatrickém vězeňském oddělení v nemocnici Bellevue. Spoutaný Oscar Bane si vymohl osobně ji. Sotva se ho dotkne, začne Bane mluvit – a Scarpettová vyslechne jeden z nejbizarnějších příběhů, s jakým se kdy setkala. Ke zraněním přišel Bane v den vraždy – tu však podle všeho nespáchal. Scarpettová je na pochybách: Má co do činění s šílencem, který je na ni fixovaný? Anebo je jeho paranoidní historka pravdivá a skutečně ho sleduje pravý vrah? Jisté je pouze to, že někdo mučil a pak zabil mladou ženu – a brzy následují další úmrtí. Ať má tyto vraždy na svědomí kdokoli, ví na minutu přesně, kde se cíle jeho zločinů právě nacházejí. Vše ostatní jsou však pouhé dohady: Je to jeden člověk? Má v tom prsty vláda? A spojuje oběti vůbec něco? Společně s manželem Bentonen Wesleym, soudním psychiatrem, a neteří Lucy, která si nedávno založila vlastní firmu na forenzní zkoumání počítačů a počítačových sítí, se Scarpettová tentokrát pouští do kyberprostoru i možná až příliš živých ulic města za odhalením zprvu nevysvětlitelné a poté o to děsivější pravdy.

Billie Eilish - And the Clothes She Wears
- Stunning images of global phenomenon Billie Eilish
- Revealing fashion insights from the bestselling author of Harry Styles and the Clothes He Wears and Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears
- Elegant hardback presentation including real cloth cover
- The perfect present for fans and fashionistas
Billie Eilish is a fashion phenomenon. Her goth-skate-anime wardrobe resonates loud and clear with her generation and anyone who doesn't want to be defined. Courted by the world's biggest fashion houses, Billie has a way of spotlighting inclusivity, body image, environmental issues and more, while always looking awesome. In the latest addition to this popular series, fashion writer Terry Newman casts her eye over a young megastar with oversized clothes and an even bigger attitude. When Billie Eilish burst onto the music scene aged just 14, her outfits told everyone who she was before they'd downloaded a track. She was savage and brooding. Her clothes were large and matched her attitude. Her wardrobe was made up of labels that speak the language of Gen Z and everyone who doesn't want to be defined by others. Growing up hasn't changed a thing – though she now has the command of fashion houses the world over. As such, Billie often mixes and matches Chanel, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons and Prada with finds from Slumpy Kev, Skoot, The Incorporated and Freak City, and the result is beyond the realms of meta-modernism. It's a look that might very well bite the hand that feeds it, but Eilish doesn't care. She wears what she likes when she likes. And we're here for it.

Vicious Circle
Fires are spreading around the globe; the world is at its most precarious moment since 1939. NATO and the European Union are on the brink of war; tensions are rising near the shores of Taiwan. Europe and the United States are in disarray, while Russia and China are each waiting for the other to make the first direct move against the Western alliance system.The sequel to Bonfire, The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle, shows why the American grand strategy of the last three decades is a failure, and why both neoconservative and liberal foreign policy are complete dead ends. It gives an unparalleled look into the mind of the Tsar, Vladimir Putin, as well as his fears, plans, and thirst for vengeance for what he sees as the humiliation of Russia. This is a story of Russian false flag operations across Europe and a story of nationalist conflicts. In the pages of Vicious Circle, history is alive.Author’s personal note: The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle was published in softcover in 2021, based on the Hungarian original of 2018. It describes the covert actions Russia could take to divide the European Union and NATO, but does not describe the war against Ukraine. A coming Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, is mentioned several times in its pages; these were not edited out of the book. While Vicious Circle goes deep into Vladimir Putin’s mind and explains some of his actions as rational, it in no way condones the blatant and open Russian aggression against Ukraine. Whatever grievances President Putin may have had, whether real or imagined, nevertheless under his leadership Russia launched an inexcusable war of conquest against a neighbor. This book is a warning that without understanding geopolitics and history, and without healing the ethnic fault lines of Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Balkans, Europe will remain an easy target for aggression.“Terrorism spreads across Romania and Hungary: Two NATO allies! Who steps in? Vladimir Putin, master of geostrategic opportunity.” Victor Gaetan (American Spectator)“David Autere brings us again on a trip through Eastern European ethnonationalism, ringing a disquieting alarm bell on the future of Europe. But Book Two also gives the reader a peek into Russo-Chinese power plays.”Dario Quintavalle (Limes)

Shall We Dance?
“Shall We Dance?”“It takes two to tango” in an expression suggesting that certain activities cannot be performed alone; they need two people who are willing to participate in order for something to happen. The New Normal might offer several challenges when it comes to handling uncertainty and change within an organization. Many people are working from home, meetings are held online, managers have to lead their subordinates from a distance through the change and try to help them find ways to create work-life balance, among other things. This is when coaching can be a useful tool to build resilience, encourage employees to learn new skills, improve communication, but most importantly build a strong and healthy organizational culture. Are you a business owner, a manager, someone working with human capital, or are you a student, or maybe just have a general interest in leadership, organizational behavior, or coaching? In that case, this book is definitely for you. The book will offer you a framework regarding change, organizational culture, and coaching. The book will also give you some important insight related to diversity, for example situations when the analogy of an orchestra playing a tango together might come in handy, as well as aspects of sustainability. Each part of the book ends with questions for the reader to reflect on. The purpose is to enhance your own learning and personal growth. My goal is for you to find your own way to lead your colleagues and subordinates. I want to provide methods to make it easier for you to contribute and navigate a coaching culture in these trying times we call “The New Normal”. A way of making the stakeholders of your organization feel you have rolled out the red carpet just for them. When you take the lead, the stakeholders will be asking you -"Shall we dance?"
