Bublifuk 1 - Komiksová revue pro holky a kluky
Piráti, roboti na páru, vynálezci, zelený vlk nebo knihomol, který si smlsne na komiksu! A nad tím vším spousty bublin.
Komiksová revue Bublifuk představuje české komiksové tvůrce a nabízí holkám a klukům od 7 do 12 let deset původních komiksů a další hravé rubriky.
První příběh zavede čtenáře za kamarády Fernandem a Stellou, kteří žijí ve stejné době jako Leonardo da Vinci a svými vynálezy předbíhají dobu. Tentokrát budou vynalézat kolo. Píše Jiří W. Procházka a kreslí Vojtěch Šeda. Chlup, hlodavec se zálibou v komiksu, bydlí přímo v redakci a představí čtenářům, kdo všechno se na tvorbě komiksu podílí. Píše Klára Smolíková a kreslí Viktor Svoboda. Hilfréd Hubertus Babočka je tajemný strýček, jehož historkám děti tak úplně nevěří, ale špicují uši, aby jim ani slovo neuniklo. Tomáš Kučerovský, který komiks vymýšlí i kreslí, v prvním díle vylíčí, jak vypadaly počítače v době strýčkova mládí. Prý byly nejen velké, ale i nebezpečné. Ale to ještě není zdaleka všechno! Bublifukem se plaví piráti, které kreslí Lukáš Fibrich, a do všeho jim krákorá drzý papoušek. Na stránkách narazíte na neohroženého vlka, který přemůže strach a vydá se vstříc příšerám a kterého kreslí Karel Jerie. A nasmějete se s roboty Pípem a Půpem, kteří uspořádají v roboškole nečekanou oslavu přesně podle plánu scenáristy Martina Šinkovského a výtvarníka, který si říká Ticho762. Tři mušketýry představí Petr Kopl, knihomola jménem Bubu kreslí Bára Buchalová, principála Trampotu, kterému zmizela cirkusová plachta, vykreslí Petr Šrédl a Tomáš Prokůpek se vydá na cestu do doby prakomiksů, kde potká opičáku Fuka a lovce Prášila.
Revue pro všechny hravé milovníky komiksu sestavila Klára Smolíková.

Cristiano Ronaldo
Knížka píše o obyčejném, a dokonce chudém, chlapci z portugalské Madeiry. Má ovšem veliký sen a odmalička za ním neúprosně jde a ze svého snu se probudí až ve chvíli, když později vysloví: "Chci být nejlepší, zapsat se do historie fotbalu. Mám fantastické zaměstnání. Je požehnáním, protože můžu dělat to, co mám nejraději."
Ano, Ronaldo skutečně postupně stoupá k fotbalovému Olympu, kde vládnou Pelé, Maradona, Di Stéfano, Cruijff. Základem naplnění takového snu je skvělé zázemí v rodině, jíž vždy vládla fotbalová máma Mária Dolores, a pak má Cristiano jako osmnáctiletý hráč Sportingu Lisabon doslovné štěstí, že si ho do Manchesteru United vybere sám Sir Alex Ferguson. Se svým velkým učitelem a druhým otcem, jak sám říká, vyhrají Ligu mistrů a tři anglické tituly.
Ronaldo jako hráč Rudých ďáblů získá v roce 2008 svůj první Zlatý míč. Druhý obdrží už jako nejzářivější hvězda Realu Madrid a mistr Španělska. V lednu 2014 při celebraci v curyšské opeře s dojetím řekne: "Neexistují slova, kterými bych popsal tento okamžik. První zisk Zlatého míče za rok 2008, to bylo něco velkého. Ale teď to pro mě bylo o mnohem hlubších emocích, protože jsem cenu přebíral s mojí matkou a synem. Když jsem ji zahlédl, jak pláče, snažil jsem se kontrolovat, ale slzy jsem také neudržel. Jestli jsem vyhrál zaslouženě? Lidé pro mě hlasovali, tak asi ano. Každopádně Messi a Ribéry by si tuto cenu zasloužili také. Vyhrál jsem však já. Jsem opravdu nesmírně šťastný."
Tajemství gigantického úspěchu chlapce z chudinské ulice Quinta do Falcáo ve Funchalu je prosté: neobyčejný talent a úžasná pracovitost, neutuchající touha být vždy nejlepší a vyhrávat trofeje a také bouřlivé a vítězné srdce. Cristiano navíc dnes není společně s Lionelem Messim jen nejlepším fotbalistou planety, ale pro mladé generace představuje také symbol životního stylu. Lze bez nadsázky říci, že je současnou nejvýznamnější sportovní celebritou světa. A tak se společně s autorem začtěme do příběhu chlapce, který žije svůj splněný sen a stoupá k legendě jménem Cristiano Ronaldo.

World Engines: Creator
Trapped on an alternate Earth, the combined crews of a crashed Russian spaceship, a British expeditionary force and a group of strays from the future must work together to survive, escape, and discover what led them to this point. All are from parallel universes where small changes in history led to different realities, and the tensions between the groups are rising.
But some changes were not small. The solar system has been altered, changed, shaped in the various realities, and the World Engineers - unspeakably powerful, completely unknown - are still active. Why have they populated this planet with humanity's ancestors and dinosaurs? What is on the moon of Saturn that gives off such an odd light? And even if they can be found, can they be stopped - and should they be?
Malenfant, Deidra and the rest of their party must find a way off the planet, back into space, and into the many dimensions seeking the answer...

The Tale of a Toothbrush
A brilliantly topical and delightfully funny picture book from internationally bestselling author M.G. Leonard, which shows children what happens to their plastic toothbrushes after they're thrown away.
Children use their toothbrush each morning and evening, and get new ones every few months. That's billions of toothbrushes! What happens to them all when they're no longer needed? And if toothbrushes take thousands of years to break down, what does that mean for our planet?
With a fun cast of plastic characters, from pirate-ship bottles to dancing shampoos, and even an inquisitive albatross, The Tale of a Toothbrush is a positive and heart-warming story to help children explore the impact their choices have on our planet.
How to Be Animal
Humans are the most inquisitive, emotional, imaginative, aggressive and baffling animals on the planet. But how well do we really know ourselves?
How to Be Animal writes a remarkable story of what it means to be human and argues that at the heart of our psychology is a profound struggle with being animal. As well as piecing together the mystery of how this psychology evolved, this book examines its wide-reaching effects on our lives, from our politics to the ways we distance ourselves from other species. We travel from the origins of Homo sapiens through the agrarian and industrial revolutions, the age of the internet, and on to futures of AI and human-machine interface. We examine how technology influences our sense of our own animal nature and our relationship with the other species with whom we share this fragile planet.
Drawing on new evidence from a wide range of disciplines, Challenger proposes that being an animal is a process, beautiful and unpredictable, and that we have a chance to tell ourselves a new story, to realise that if we matter, so does everything else.

New Climate War
A renowned climate scientist shows how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility and delay action on climate change, and offers a battle plan for how we can save the planet. Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are some of the ways that we've been told can slow climate change. But the inordinate emphasis on individual behavior is the result of a marketing campaign that has succeeded in placing the responsibility for fixing climate change squarely on the shoulders of individuals.
Fossil fuel companies have followed the example of other industries deflecting blame (think "guns don't kill people, people kill people") or greenwashing (think of the beverage industry's "Crying Indian" commercials of the 1970s). Meanwhile, they've blocked efforts to regulate or price carbon emissions, run PR campaigns aimed at discrediting viable alternatives, and have abdicated their responsibility in fixing the problem they've created. The result has been disastrous for our planet.
In The New Climate War, Mann argues that all is not lost. He draws the battle lines between the people and the polluters-fossil fuel companies, right-wing plutocrats, and petrostates. And he outlines a plan for forcing our governments and corporations to wake up and make real change, including:
A common-sense, attainable approach to carbon pricing- and a revision of the well-intentioned but flawed currently proposed version of the Green New Deal;
Allowing renewable energy to compete fairly against fossil fuels
Debunking the false narratives and arguments that have worked their way into the climate debate and driven a wedge between even those who support climate change solutions
Combatting climate doomism and despair-mongering
With immensely powerful vested interests aligned in defense of the fossil fuel status quo, the societal tipping point won't happen without the active participation of citizens everywhere aiding in the collective push forward. This book will reach, inform, and enable citizens everywhere to join this battle for our planet.

The Universe
The story of our Universe, from its beginning in the first milliseconds of the Big Bang right up to our present moment and beyond, told in a gripping narrative.
We have entered a new age of exploration and discovery, enabling us to probe ever more distant reaches of space and greatly advance our knowledge of the Universe. Today, telescopes peer not only into outer space, but also into the deep past.
Paul Murdin takes us on an original and breathtaking journey across the lifetime of the Universe, from the first milliseconds of the Big Bang right up to our present moment and even beyond. Murdin draws on the latest discoveries in astronomy to describe the most important characters and events in the life of our Universe: the most powerful explosions, the most curious planets, and the most spectacular celestial bodies. He charts our developing understanding of the cosmos, showing how thinkers have deduced profound truths from even the simplest observations - everyone can see that it is dark at night, but only recently have we understood this as proof that the Universe has not been the same forever. Since then, the Universe has grown up from childhood: astronomers have tracked it as it passed through maturity and as it now moves into middle age.
Murdin shows how our own lives were seeded from the Big Bang, galaxies, stars and planets. He considers some of the key questions: how did structures like galaxies and ourselves emerge from the dense maelstrom of the Universe's birth? How did the 'dark matter' that we can't even see speed up the development of galaxies, and how does 'dark energy' work to speed up the expansion of the Universe? Why hasn't the Universe collapsed in on itself - and will it one day? And finally, he offers a glimpse into the future old age of our Universe, and what it means for us all.

Každá cesta je jako malý život. Cestování je tedy jakousi laboratoří, v které je možné porozumět životu snadněji než jinde. Já v šesti letech zapálil svou základku a v sedmi vážně onemocněl. Pak už se to se mnou vezlo: rok za humny v Černobylu chvíli po výbuchu, další rok v tehdy anarchistické Moskvě, svět newyorských gayů uprostřed HIV epidemie, rok v zemi větrných mlýnů, řada cest do západní Afriky, půl roku s batohem mezi Kalifornií a Ohňovou zemí a další cesty a cestičky. V pětatřiceti jsem dostal chuť sepsat z toho cestování (životem) postřehy. Kniha vznikala na třech kontinentech s přestávkou deset let. Výsledkem je 146 příběhů členěných do deseti tématických kapitol, které se snaží na cestovatelských příbězích odpovědět na otázku: "Co je to dobrý život?" Má ambici nabídnout inspiraci v hledání vlastní cesty. V knize se dozvíte: Proč je důležité si každý den správně zabalit batoh A proč je důležité vždy mířit pouze na jeden terč Že pohodlí neznamená štěstí, ale od určité míry spíše destrukci Co se můžeme naučit např od Mennonitů a dalších nezvyklých kultur Proč je důležité si občas zaběhnout půl-maraton Co je "global wierding", jak se projevuje a co to pro nás znamená O naší lásce k igelitu, autům a dalším zpohodlňovadlům Jak běhají Tarahumarové a co to říká o nás Proč je neštěstí velmi často skrytým štěstím Proč, jak a v čem hledat svoji míru Kolik věcí potřebuje člověk k životu a řadu dalších postřehů z desítek zemí čtyř kontinentů 5 důvodů proč koupit: 1. V knize najdete nepřeberně příkladů z jiných kultur, které můžete snadno vzít a začít používat ve vlastním životě. 2. Na příkladech z cestování tu najdete i nespočet obecných principů šťastného a zdravého života. 3. Dočtete se, jak cestování využít i k pochopení sebe sama a zákonitostí života - jak a čeho si v životě začít všímat. 4. Knihu můžete číst i jako cestopis a podívat se tak do mnoha zajímavých míst na naší planetě. 5. Kniha vám může ukázat, jak cestovat a nenechat se strhnout lákadly masového turismu (na cestách i v běžném životě).

What's Eating the Universe?
Celebrated physicist and global bestselling author Paul Davies tells the story of the universe in thirty cosmological conundrums
In the constellation of Eridanus there lurks a cosmic mystery. It's as if something has taken a huge bite out of the universe, leaving a super-void. What could be the culprit? A super massive black hole? Another, bigger universe? Or an expanding vacuum bubble, destined to envelop and annihilate everything in existence?
Scientists now understand the history of our universe better than the history of our own planet, but they continue to uncover startling new riddles-the hole in the universe being just one. In this electrifying book, award-winning physicist Paul Davies walks us through the puzzles and paradoxes that have preoccupied cosmologists from ancient Greece to the present day. Laying bare the audacious research that has led us to mind-bending solutions, Davies reveals how we might begin to approach the greatest outstanding enigmas of all.
