Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 22
The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve. Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends.
Komi and her classmates are in the Big Apple, and Manbagi sees it as a chance to make a Big Confession. But as much as she wants to tell Tadano that she likes him, can she go through with it if it means changing her friendship with him (and Komi!) forever?
Astronomical
'In the same light-heartedly informative spirit as his previous Elemental, Tim James gives us an entertaining gallop through light years of space science, from the big bang to UFOs'
Andrew Crumey, author of The Great Chain of Unbeing
PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR
'Humorous, yet deep . . . Fundamental will speak to all readers'
Professor Charles Antoine, Sorbonne University
'Who said science was dry? Certainly not Tim James'
New York Post
Does the Big Bang prove the existence of God? What's the Universe expanding into? Is Earth the only planet which supports life? Why did the greatest astronomer in history murder his pet moose?
Space is the biggest, oldest, hottest, coldest, strangest thing a human can study. It's no surprise then, that the weirdest facts in science (not to mention the weirdest scientists themselves) are found in astrophysics and cosmology.
If you're looking for instructions on how to set up your grandad's telescope this book probably isn't for you. In Astronomical, Tim James takes us on a tour of the known (and unknown) Universe, focusing on the most-mind boggling stuff we've come across, as well as unpacking the latest theories about what's really going on out there.
Guiding us through Einstein's relativity, quantum mechanics and string theory, Astronomical delves into the baffling corners of the cosmos and tackles the biggest mysteries we face: from alien life to the zodiac; from white holes to wormholes; from quasars to quark stars. This is the science of space at its absolute strangest!
From the creation of the Universe out of nothing to the Large Hadron Collider and the Universe's ongoing expansion, Tim explores our planetary neighbours, where it snows metal on Venus, there are underground lakes on Mars and rivers of petrol on Titan.
He then looks beyond our solar system: to exoplanets which could support life, rogue planets, quark stars, quasars, neutron stars and more. Tim looks at black holes (and how to survive in one), wormholes, white holes as well as dark energy, dark matter and even a bit of string theory thrown in for good measure. He explains the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, including the discovery of Martian fossils in the Alan Hills meteorite and the tantalising 'Wow signal' transmission earth received in 1973 - still unexplained.
He also rebuts resurgent anti-science movements, including the Flat Earth Society and discusses what's really going on inside Area 51.
To close, Tim finishes by looking at human achievements in space including how rockets work, how faster-than-light warp-drives (currently being investigated by NASA) work and how we plan to colonise both the moon and Mars.

Lore Olympus Volume Two: UK Edition
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home - from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo - and she's struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods.
Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.
This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 26-49 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus

Myšlení rychlé a pomalé
Daniel Kahneman, nositel Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii, patří k jedněm z nejinspirativnějích myslitelů
současnosti. Jeho "pop-science" kniha o tom, jak se my lidé v různých situacích rozhodujeme, je jakýmsi
vyzyvatelem pro tradičně uznávané modely rozhodování a také vlastně i příručkou. Kahneman své myšlenky dlouho
uplatňoval na polích ekonomie, medicíny a politiky, ale teprve nyní je skloubil do jedinečné knihy.
Autor nás v průlomové práci, kterou Nassim Taleb označuje za stejně významné dílo, jakým byl kdysi Freudův "Výklad
snů", seznamuje se dvěma systémy, které řídí to, o čem přemýšlíme. Označuje je prostě: "Systém 1" a "Systém 2".
Systém 1 je intuitivní, rychlý, emocionální, Systém 2 je pomalý, váhavý, logický. Jejich rozpoznání přináší překvapivé
důsledky a myšlenky pro naše myšlení i chování.
Kahneman nás vtahuje do dialogu o tom, jak myslíme, a naznačuje, kde můžeme, a kde naopak v žádném případě
nesmíme věřit intuici. Přináší různé techniky, které nám pomůžou se obrnit proti mentálním omylům. Kniha Thinking,
Fast and Slow změní způsob, jakým přemýšlíme o myšlení.
Kniha byla vybrána redakcemi New York Times Book Review, Globe and Mail, The Economist a The Wall Street
Journal jako jedna z nejlepších knih roku 2011.

Power of Habit
In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Veci, ktoré v nás ostanú navždy
Bradatý zlý chlapec Knox Knox neznáša drámu a nepoľaví, ani keď sa k nemu dostaví v podobe zúfalej nevesty, ktorá ušla spred oltára.
Naomi práve utiekla z vlastnej svadby, no zároveň sa ponáhľala na pomoc svojej odcudzenej dvojičke. V Knockemoute vo Virgínii, na prvý pohľad drsnom mestečku, sa spory riešia po starom... päsťami a pivom. Zvyčajne v tomto poradí.
Škoda, že Naomino dvojča sa vôbec nezmenilo. Po tom, čo jej Tina ukradne auto a peniaze, nechá jej nečakaný darček: neter, o ktorej Naomi ani len netušila. Naomi sa tak ocitne v neznámom meste bez auta, práce, plánu a domova, s jedenásťročným dieťaťom, o ktoré sa musí postarať.
Knox má svoje dôvody, prečo si zvyčajne nezačína s komplikovanými a náročnými ženami, zvlášť ak sú to romantičky. Naomin život mu však vybuchol priamo pred očami, a tak sa rozhodne pomôcť jej postaviť sa na nohy, a keď sa tak stane, má v úmysle vrátiť sa k svojmu pokojnému osamelému životu.
Teda taký bol pôvodný plán, až kým sa problémy nezmenili na niečo skutočne nebezpečné.
