Lacná kniha The Secret World (-70%)
'The most comprehensive narrative of intelligence compiled ... unrivalled' Max Hastings, Sunday Times
'Captivating, insightful and masterly' Edward Lucas, The Times
The history of espionage is far older than any of today's intelligence agencies, yet the long history of intelligence operations has been largely forgotten. The first mention of espionage in world literature is in the Book of Exodus.'God sent out spies into the land of Canaan'. From there, Christopher Andrew traces the shift in the ancient world from divination to what we would recognize as attempts to gather real intelligence in the conduct of military operations, and considers how far ahead of the West - at that time - China and India were. He charts the development of intelligence and security operations and capacity through, amongst others, Renaissance Venice, Elizabethan England, Revolutionary America, Napoleonic France, right up to sophisticated modern activities of which he is the world's best-informed interpreter. What difference have security and intelligence operations made to course of history? Why have they so often forgotten by later practitioners? This fascinating book provides the answers.

The Lord of the Rings - Boxed Set
Begin your journey into Middle-earth.
A New Legend Begins on Prime Video, in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
Energiewende: current state, future development and the consequences for the CR
Tato kniha se věnuje tzv. německému energetickému obratu, Energiewende. V prvních kapitolách jej detailně představuje, přičemž se soustředí na komplexitu a závažnost změn, které německé i regionální energetice Energiewende přináší. V dalších částech jsou analyzovány důsledky připojování obnovitelných zdrojů pro fungování liberalizovaných trhů a dopady Energiewende na český energetický sektor, a to jak skrze mechanismus cenové konvergence, tak prostřednictvím energetické politiky EU, jež některé prvky Energiewende přebírá.

The Gene
Selected as a Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Economist, Independent, Observer and Mail on Sunday. THE NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE 2017. "Dramatic and precise...[A] thrilling and comprehensive account of what seems certain to be the most radical, controversial and, to borrow from the subtitle, intimate science of our time...He is a natural storyteller...A page-turner...Read this book and steel yourself for what comes next". (Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times). The Gene is the story of one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in our history, from bestselling, prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee. Spanning the globe and several centuries, The Gene is the story of the quest to decipher the master-code that makes and defines humans, that governs our form and function. This is an epic, moving history of a scientific idea coming to life, by the author of The Emperor of All Maladies. But woven through The Gene, like a red line, is also an intimate history - the story of Mukherjee's own family and its recurring pattern of mental illness, reminding us that genetics is vitally relevant to everyday lives.These concerns reverberate even more urgently today as we learn to "read" and "write" the human genome - unleashing the potential to change the fates and identities of our children. The story of the gene begins in an obscure Augustinian abbey in Moravia in 1856 where a monk stumbles on the idea of a 'unit of heredity'. It intersects with Darwin's theory of evolution, and collides with the horrors of Nazi eugenics in the 1940s. The gene transforms post-war biology. It reorganizes our understanding of sexuality, temperament, choice and free will. This is a story driven by human ingenuity and obsessive minds - from Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel to Francis Crick, James Watson and Rosalind Franklin, and the thousands of scientists still working to understand the code of codes. Majestic in its ambition, and unflinching in its honesty, The Gene gives us a definitive account of the fundamental unit of heredity - and a vision of both humanity's past and future.

Lacná kniha The Little Book of Vargas (-90%)
Alberto Vargas took over Esquire magazine's monthly pin-up post in late 1940. By 1942, when the U.S. joined the war, he had more than a million ardent fans who carried his pin-ups in backpacks and duffel bags as reminders of the American girls they'd left behind. When Esquire was charged with obscenity over a particularly spicy pin-up the military stepped in the fight for The Varga Girl, declaring her necessary for morale. Today these wartime pin-ups are the most collectible of Vargas' work, and we 've collected them all in this compact, affordable 192-page volume.

Beatles, The - The Beatles (Super Deluxe Ltd.) 7CD
V listopadu 1968 byly do všemožných hudebních obchodů světa vyslány miliony kopií eponymního devátého dvojalba jedné z nejlegendárnějších kapel hudební historie - Beatles. Albu, které po generace nepřestává lidstvo inspirovat, se později začalo přezdívat The White Album. Reedice desky vyjde 9. listopadu a bude obsahovat 30 Gilesem Martinem (syn George Martina) a Samem Okellem nově vysoce kvalitně zmixovaných písní (The White Album), 27 dřívějších akustických demo nahrávek (Esher Demos) a 50 z většiny dosud nevydaných nahrávek pocházejících ze studiových sessions (Sessions).
The White Album bude k dostání v několika verzích. Super deluxe verze s tradičním unikátním číslem bude obsahovat dva disky, na kterých je nahrané album, jeden disk s Esher Demos, tři disky Sessions, čtyři Blu-ray verze alba a je doplněna knihou plnou fotografií, plakátů, rukopisů, poznámek a textů. Deluxe varianta bude obsahovat výše zmíněné disky, 4LP limitovaný box set - klasické album a audio kolekci, která mj. obsahuje Esher Demos, 24stránkový booklet, plakáty a portréty. Standard verze potom obsahuje klasické původní 2LP.
Většina skladeb byla složena v meditačním centru Mahariši Maheš Jógiho poblíž indického Rišikeše, kam členové skupiny se svými manželkami odcestovali v únoru 1968, aby se zrekreovali a věnovali se meditacím. Na rozdíl od předchozího alba, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, nebylo The White Album zamýšleno jako konceptuální album. Písně nespojuje žádné téma, střídá se i mnoho stylů hudby (blues, hard-rock, folk, ska a další). Je možné, že právě z důvodu takového množství nesourodých „škatulek” či „koutků” chtěli Beatles toto album původně nazvat Domeček pro panenky.
Obal desky navrhl renomovaný autor pop artu Richard Hamilton a je v kontrastu s obalem „Seržanta Peppera” stejně, jako je tomu v případě hudebního obsahu těchto dvou alb. Celá obálka má bílou barvu. Na obálce je pouze plasticky či v odstínech šedi vytlačen název alba.
Album se v Británii i Americe stalo okamžitým bestsellerem, který se umístil na prvních příčkách, kde se držel osm až devět týdnů. Deska se stala 19x platinovou a v roce 2000 byla uvedena do Grammy Hall of Fame jako „deska s neuvadající kvalitou a historickým významem”. „Jedná se o nejlepší album, které kdy Beatles vydali a jenom Beatles mohou udělat ještě lepší,” komentoval tehdy desku spoluzakladatel časopisu Rolling Stone Jann Wenner.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The story of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, published to coincide with the centenary of its dissolution
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. By 1914 it had been much reduced, but still remained after Russia the largest European state. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914, despite its successfully defending itself for much of the war, doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book, published for the centenary of the last Sultan's departure into exile, explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

The Last Man
The last man! I may well describe that solitary being's feelings, feeling myself as the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me.' Mary Shelley, Journal (May 1824). Best remembered as the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley wrote The Last Man eight years later, on returning to England from Italy after her husband's death. It is the twenty-first century, and England is a republic governed by a ruling elite, one of whom, Adrian, Earl of Windsor, has introduced a Cumbrian boy to the circle. This outsider, Lionel Verney, narrates the story, a tale of complicated, tragic love, and of the gradual extermination of the human race by plague. The Last Man also functions as an intriguing roman a clef, for the saintly Adrian is a monument to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and his friend Lord Raymond is a portrait of Byron. The novel offers a vision of the future that expresses a reaction against Romanticism, as Shelley demonstrates the failure of the imagination and of art to redeem her doomed characters.
