Love, Your Fangirl
With dreams like these, who needs reality?
Vintage-loving writer Vicky Waverly tends to get more than a little bit fangirl-obsessed when it comes to jazz musicians and the 1940s. So much so that she ends up writing a book about it.
And when the annual JEGG Awards comes to town, Vicky can't miss this golden opportunity to rub elbows with some of her favorite musicians.
But after an almost-accident with a tousled-but-cute music producer steers her dreams (and her love life) in a direction she never imagined, Vicky must decide whether she's ready to follow her heart or stay out of the spotlight.
With humor, heart and a whole lot of misperceptions, Vicky discovers that the secret to being a fangirl might just lie in being her own biggest fan.

Lacná kniha Alcools
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la SeineEt nos amoursFaut-il qu'il m'en souvienneLa joie venait toujours après la peine Ces vers du "Pont Mirabeau", comme ceux de "La Chanson du mal-aimé" ou de "Zone", tous issus du recueil Alcools ont fait la fortune littéraire d'Apollinaire, et un grand classique de la poésie. Toutefois, ce classicisme ne doit pas faire oublier qu'en son temps ce recueil constitua une véritable révolution poétique : après Rimbaud, Apollinaire transforme toutes les règles d'un lyrisme devenu vieillot à son goût. Il faut pouvoir chanter le monde, jusque dans sa réalité la plus crue, mais aussi jusque dans ses progrès les plus récents : la tour Eiffel ("Zone") côtoiera donc les cellules de la prison de la Santé ("À la Santé"). Sur ce modèle se succéderont alors la mort, la fuite du temps et surtout l'amour : tantôt lumineux, tantôt obscur, mais toujours au centre de ces ivresses poétiques. Avec Alcools, Apollinaire deviendra le modèle de tous les poètes à venir, et en particulier des surréalistes. --Karla Manuele

Atomoví vyzvědači studené války
Vývoj jaderných zbraní a jejich nosičů je nepřetržitý proces, který trvá už půl století a zatím neskončil. Navíc ohrožuje celý svět. Řada zemí provádí tento vývoj tajně, např. Francie, Čína, Izrael, Jihoafrická republika, Indie, Irák, Írán. Jiné státy, zvláště pak USA, jejich počínání velmi pozorně sledují a snaží se tomuto rozšiřování jaderných zbraní předcházet. Po rozpadu Sovětského svazu se nebezpečí ještě zvýšilo - zchudlí ruští odborníci hledali zaměstnání i ve státech považovaných za teroristické. Studená válka v tomto směru stále pokračuje.

Na evropských a středomořských válčištích bojovala proti tzv. třetí říši pozemní vojska mnoha států, počínaje polskými, francouzskými, nizozemskými, belgickými, dánskými, norskými a britskými jednotkami, které se pokoušely zastavit německý blitzkrieg v letech 1939-40 a konče mnohonárodnostními spojeneckými silami, které v květnu 1945 zastavil generál Eisenhower na Labi. V této knize najdete barevné mapy jednotlivých operací a podrobná barevná schémata, která vám pomohou snáze pochopit skladbu spojeneckých pozemních sil v důležitých bitvách a taženích; uvádí se v nich každý útvar armádního uskupení až po úroveň divizí a brigád.

The Light of Asia
This rich and enjoyable book by the acclaimed author of Japan Story explores the many ways in which Asia has influenced Europe and North America over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters
From the time of the ancient Greeks onwards the West's relationship with Asia consisted for the most part of outrageous tales of strange beasts and monsters, of silk and spices shipped over vast distances and an uneasy sense of unknowable empires fantastically far away. By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back.
The Light of Asia is a wonderfully varied and entertaining history of the many ways in which Asia has shaped European and North American culture over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters, and the central importance of this vexed, often confused relationship. From Marco Polo onwards Asia has been both a source of genuine fascination and equally genuine failures of comprehension. China, India and Japan were all acknowledged to be both great civilizations and in crude ways seen as superseded by the West. From Chicago to Calcutta, and from antiquity to the new millennium, this is a rich, involving story of misunderstandings and sincere connection, of inspiration and falsehood, of geniuses, adventurers and con-men.
Christopher Harding's captivating gallery of people and places celebrates Asia's impact on the West in all its variety.

Lacná kniha Třetí světová válka (-70%)
USA, Čína a Rusko vedou studenou válku v průběhu 21. století, tato studená válka se však náhle změní v horký konflikt, který se odehrává na souši, ve vzduchu, na moři, ve vesmíru i v kyberprostoru. Váleční roboti, plně automatické drony, hackeři, ale i obyčejní pěšáci bojují v apokalyptickém střetnutí, které autoři tohoto mimořádného futustického thrilleru popisují s dokonalým smyslem pro detail a reálně vykreslují možnou podobu budoucí války. Technologie a válečná technika popisovaná v knize (jakkoli se mohou zdát jako sci-fi) jsou blíže realitě, než si dokážeme vůbec připustit. Autoři ostatně znají reálie více než dobře, August Cole je analytik specializující se na otázku národní bezpečnosti USA a bývalý reportér Wall Street Journal, P.W. Singer je odborník na způsoby vedení války budoucnosti.

A Voyage to Arcturus
A stunning achievement in speculative fiction, A Voyage to Arcturus has inspired, enchanted, and unsettled readers for decades. It is simultaneously an epic quest across one of the most unusual and brilliantly depicted alien worlds ever conceived, a profoundly moving journey of discovery into the metaphysical heart of the universe, and a shockingly intimate excursion into what makes us human and unique. After a strange interstellar journey, Maskull, a man from Earth, awakens alone in a desert on the planet Tormance, seared by the suns of the binary star Arcturus. As he journeys northward, guided by a drumbeat, he encounters a world and its inhabitants like no other, where gender is a victory won at dear cost; where landscape and emotion are drawn into an accursed dance; where heroes are killed, reborn, and renamed; and where the cosmological lures of Shaping, who may be God, torment Maskull in his astonishing pilgrimage. At the end of his arduous and increasingly mystical quest waits a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation. A Voyage to Arcturus was the first novel by writer David Lindsay (1878–1945), and it remains one of the most revered classics of science fiction.

The Crack of Doom
The rough notes from which this narrative has been constructed were given to me by the man who tells the story. For obvious reasons I have altered the names of the principals, and I hereby pass on the assurance which I have received, that the originals of such as are left alive can be found if their discovery be thought desirable. This alteration of names, the piecing together of somewhat disconnected and sometimes nearly indecipherable memoranda, and the reduction of the mass to consecutive form, are all that has been required of me or would have been permitted to me. The expedition to Labrador mentioned by the narrator has not returned, nor has it ever been definitely traced. He does not undertake to prove that it ever set out. But he avers that all which is hereafter set down is truly told, and he leaves it to mankind to accept the warning which it has fallen to him to convey, or await the proof of its sincerity which he believes the end of the century will produce. (Often quoted as being the first reference to the idea of an atomic bomb.)

Neoliberalism on the Ground
Architecture and urbanism have contributed to one of the most sweeping transformations of our times. Over the past four decades, neoliberalism has been not only a dominant paradigm in politics but a process of bricks and mortar in everyday life.
Rather than to ask what a neoliberal architecture looks like, or how architecture represents neoliberalism, this volume examines the multivalent role of architecture and urbanism in geographically variable yet interconnected processes of neoliberal transformation across scales-from China, Turkey, South Africa, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Britain, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia. Analyzing how buildings and urban projects in different regions since the 1960s have served in the implementation of concrete policies such as privatization, fiscal reform, deregulation, state restructuring, and the expansion of free trade, contributors reveal neoliberalism as a process marked by historical contingency.
Neoliberalism on the Ground fundamentally reframes accepted narratives of both neoliberalism and postmodernism by demonstrating how architecture has articulated changing relationships between state, society, and economy since the 1960s.
