Meet Me at the Surface
Everything that comes from the ground has to go back down... eventually
Merryn grew up on the wilds of Bodmin moor, raised by her mother and her aunt in an old farmhouse. Here, the locals never leave the village, fear for the future of their farms and cling desperately to the folkloric tales that are woven into their history. Except Merryn, who has escaped to Manchester for university, briefly untethering herself from her past.
When Merryn returns home for the memorial service of her ex-girlfriend Claud, she finds her childhood home stranger and more secretive than ever. She's sure that her mother is hiding something. The villagers are hunting on the moors at night, but for what? And then there's a notebook, found in an old chest of drawers, full of long-forgotten folklore that seems to be linked somehow to Claud...
Devil You Know: Stories of Human Cruelty and Compassion
Dr Gwen Adshead is one of Britain's leading forensic psychiatrists. She treats serial killers, arsonists, stalkers, gang members and other individuals who are usually labelled 'monsters'. Whatever their crime, she listens to their stories and helps them to better understand their terrible acts of violence. Here Adshead invites the reader to step with her into the room to meet twelve patients and discover how minds can change. These men and women are revealed in all their complexity and shared humanity. Their stories make a powerful case for rehabilitation over revenge, compassion over condemnation. The Devil You Know will challenge everything you thought you knew about human nature.

Lacná kniha Be Mine (-90%)
On Valentine's Day, Sherry, a college professor finds an anonymous love note in her locker: Be Mine. Her life has been a little askew since her only son left home, and though she has a happy, solid marriage with her husband, Jon, with whom she lives in her beautiful, isolated house in the country, how exciting is sex after twenty years with the same man? So she's intrigued, and not a little flattered by the notes as they continue, and embarks on a passionate and erotic affair. Her son's school friend, Garrett, is witness to the affair, her best friend, Sue, normally garrulous and chirpy, is strangely silent, and unusually, Jon is aware of the situation, adding some excitement to their own relationship. Then Garrett goes missing, swiftly followed by Sherry's lover, and what has seemed a very easy game to play, suddenly spirals out of control. Be Mine" is a stunning, compelling erotic thriller of how dangerous things can become when the boundaries of acceptable behaviour with family and friends are pushed to the edge."

The Clockwork Girl
Paris, 1750.
In the midst of an icy winter, as birds fall frozen from the sky, chambermaid Madeleine Chastel arrives at the home of the city's celebrated clockmaker and his clever, unworldly daughter.
Madeleine is hiding a dark past, and a dangerous purpose: to discover the truth of the clockmaker's experiments and record his every move, in exchange for her own chance of freedom.
For as children quietly vanish from the Parisian streets, rumours are swirling that the clockmaker's intricate mechanical creations, bejewelled birds and silver spiders, are more than they seem.
And soon Madeleine fears that she has stumbled upon an even greater conspiracy. One which might reach to the very heart of Versailles...
A intoxicating story of obsession, illusion and the price of freedom.

The Whispers
The second novel from the author of THE PUSH, 2021's most explosive Sunday Times bestseller!
The whispers started long before the accident on Harlow Street...
Was it at the party, when Whitney screamed blue murder at her son?
Or after neighbour Blair started prowling Whitney's house, uninvited?
Or once Rebecca and Ben's childlessness finally puts a crack in their marriage?
But on the terrible night of the accident, the whispers grow louder, more insistent.
Neighbours gather round. Questions are asked. Secrets are spilled. And the gloss on everything begins to rub off. Everyone is drawn into the darkness.
Because there's no smoke without fire.
No friendship without envy.
And no lie that does not conceal a devastating truth...
The Whispers is a darkly psychological portrait of couples in crisis and families in free fall.

Porcelánový pavilón
Feldekov Porcelánový pavilón stavia svet na nohy a čitateľa na hlavu
Vychádza ďalšia kniha Feldekových fejtónov s ilustráciami Jozefa Danglára. Slovo fejtón však nevystihuje široký záber týchto textov. Je to zároveň kniha rozprávková, básnická, esejistická aj memoárová, kniha bujaro veselá, no zároveň aj prísne pravdivá. Čitateľ v nej nájde aj krásne portréty Feldekových priateľov a obľúbených umelcov – Guillauma Apollinaira či Karola Kállaya, Sama Chalupku i Vincenta Šikulu.
Súčasťou knihy je aj bonus – po prvý raz publikovaný súbor Feldekových prekladov jedného z najslávnejších básnikov všetkých čias. Geniálny čínsky básnik Li Po poradil Feldekovi aj názov Porcelánový pavilón.
V rovnomennej čínskej básni sa hovorí:
... A jazero spí v temnomodrom svetle
a na hlave v ňom stojí každý hosť.
Na hlave všetky stĺpiky – ach, zázrak! –
na hlave stojí celá spoločnosť.
Plachta šiat každému aj v hĺbke veje.
Na hlavách pijú, píšu, na hlave je
porcelánový malý pavilón...
Nuž i ja, Li Po, na hlave som v ňom.
A Ľubomír Feldek k tomu dodáva:
Nech sa teda aj každý čitateľ mojej knihy pohodlne postaví na hlavu – a mne už ostáva len tešiť sa, že v tejto polohe nad ňou nezaspí.Ľubomír Feldek

The Twelve Monotasks
Neurological research definitively and repeatedly concludes that there is a bottleneck in our cognitive function - when we do more than one thing at a time, we become less efficient and more error-prone. Our systems get overloaded and we crash. In fact, we are actually wired to monotask - to give dedicated focus to one task at a time.
Whether you call it monotasking, mindfulness, being present, or any other name, the goal is the same: Give your focus to one thing at a time and do it with your all. When we do things with our full focus, completely tuning our bodies and our brains in to one activity-like reading a book, listening to someone in a conversation, or paying attention to our surroundings while we go for a walk - amazing things can happen.
Drawing on research in cognitive science, neuroscience, and mindfulness, The Twelve Monotasks shows that by concentrating on twelve everyday activities and approaching them with a focused mindset, we can rebuild and expand our attention spans. When we focus on what we are doing, where we are and who we are with, we can rediscover our ability to enjoy life, connect with others, and succeed in all that we do. And in the end, it makes us happier, more productive, and more present - in all aspects of our lives.
Ars Magna
Ars Magna (Velké dílo) jednoho z největších básníků 20. století,je záznamem meditací a zkušenosti vycházející z nových převratných poznání na pozemském horizontu vědy, překvapivě souznících ve směru vertikálním s dávnými duchovními směry ústícími v čirém transcendentnu věčného božství.
V této mystické básni v próze se mísí a spájí prvky a elementy dávné alchymie a kabalistické algebry s nejnovějšími poznatky přírodovědy či kvantové fyziky; narážky, ohlasy a filiace protínající jednou sféry Dantova Empyrea, podruhé Hölderlinova Hesperionu či Goetheho nebo Schillerova Elysia.
A hűség pokla
"Minden éjszaka után eljön a hajnal, és minden eső után kisüt a nap. Mindig van új esély. Fájdalmas és egyszerre szép ez a történet." - DoktORINA Blogja
Hűség, becsület, tisztelet. Ezek az én családom legfőbb erényei. Ha ez a házasság megköttetett, immár felbonthatatlan. Nálunk a hűség egy életre szóló döntés, és mindenekfelett áll.
Elég veszélyes szakma az enyém, a maffia bérgyilkosa vagyok. Mindennap kockáztatom, hogy lebukom, vagy valami malőr folytán éppen én halok meg. Mégsem remeg soha a kezem vagy izzad a tenyerem, amikor hidegvérrel kiontom mások életét.
A hűségemnek azonban nagy ára volt. A bosszú nevében valaki kivégeztette a feleségem és a két gyermekem. Így a saját bőrömön tapasztaltam meg azt a fájdalmat, amit másoknak okoztam. Abban a pillanatban fogadtam meg, hogy soha többé nem engedek senkit a szívem közelébe. A szerelem ellenben kegyetlen, nem olyan dolog, amit befolyásolhatunk, még a legsötétebb időszakban, a legkietlenebb talajban is képes kicsírázni. Válaszút elé érkeztem...
A hűség pokla egy őszinte, torokszorítóan fájdalmas és érzelemdús történet egy titokzatos bérgyilkosról, Anthonyról. Anne L. Green legújabb regénye rávilágít arra, hogy nemcsak a maffia iránti hűség béklyója eltéphetetlen, hanem a szerelemé is. Az olvasó egy sodró lendületű, izgalmakkal és váratlan fordulatokkal teli, akciódús történetben találja magát, amely a humort és az érzékiséget sem nélkülözi.

Basic Blockchain
The only book you need to understand blockchain: what it is, how it works and how it will transform business, society and our everyday lives. Basic Blockchain is an accessible, non-technical introduction to a revolutionary technology.
'Makes it easy for the average business executive to understand blockchain' -- Chris Larsen, founder and chairman, Ripple
'An essential tool for those looking to distinguish information from noise' -- Eva Kaili, MEP and Chair of The Committee for the Future of Science and Technology
A revolution is under way across the globe, yet very few people understand it. Basic Blockchain will explain everything you need to know to understand the technology that will soon disrupt and revolutionise everything from financial and health services to the property market and how we vote.
Born of an obscure body of research on game theory developed by NASA, originally championed by drug dealers seeking to launder ill-gotten gains, accelerated by entrepreneurs seeking to improve financial access for the poor, funded by giant corporate interests attracted to the potential for billions of dollars of cost savings, blockchain heralds a new era of financial inclusion, legal inclusion for the dispossessed and lower prices for consumers. In short, it will enact radical change on our lives.
In this book, David L. Shrier, one of MIT and Oxford University's leading futurists, explains for the general reader:
- The history of blockchain, its apocryphal progenitor Satoshi Nakamoto and the socioeconomic context of its origins in the 2008 financial crisis.
- How blockchain works, including the core technologies that drive it such as cryptographic hashes and network theory, all described in simple, understandable terms.
- The potential of blockchain, including its impact on our jobs, industry and society as a whole.
Blockchain will disrupt and transform our world in profound ways. This accessible book, written by a global authority on blockchain, is the essential introduction to the next technological revolution.

Waits Tom - Bone Machine (2023 Remaster Edition) CD
Thomas Alan Waits (narodený 7. decembra 1949) je americký hudobník, skladateľ, skladateľ a herec. Jeho texty sa často zameriavajú na spodinu spoločnosti a sú prednesené jeho typickým hlbokým, štrkovitým hlasom. V 70. rokoch pôsobil predovšetkým v jazze, no jeho hudba od 80. rokov odrážala väčší vplyv blues, rock, vaudeville a experimentálne žánre. Napriek nedostatku mainstreamového komerčného úspechu Waits ovplyvnil mnohých hudobníkov a získal si medzinárodný kult a bolo o ňom napísaných niekoľko biografií.V roku 2015 sa umiestnil na 55. mieste v rebríčku "100 najlepších skladateľov všetkých čias" časopisu Rolling Stone. V roku 2011 ho uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.
"Bone Machine" je jedenásty štúdiový album, ktorý vydal Island Records 8. septembra 1992. Získal cenu Grammy za najlepší album alternatívnej hudby a hosťujú na ňom David Hidalgo, Les Claypool, Brain a Keith. Richards. Album znamenal Waitsov návrat k štúdiovým albumom, ktorý prišiel päť rokov po jeho predchádzajúcom úsilí Franks Wild Years (1987).Album bol remastrovaný Chrisom Bellmanom v Bernie Grundman Mastering z pôvodnej master pásky osobne pod dohľadom Toma Waitsa a Kathleen Brennan.
