Before Adam
A young man in modern America is terrorized by visions of an earlier, primitive life. Across the enormous chasm of thousands of centuries, his consciousness has become entwined with that of Big-Tooth, an ancestor living at the dawn of humanity. Big-Tooth makes his home in Pleistocene Africa, a ferocious, fascinating younger world torn by incessant conflict between early humans and protohumans. Before Adam is a remarkable and provocative tale that thrust evolution further into the public spotlight in the early twentieth century and has since become a milestone of speculative fiction. The brilliance of the book lies not only in its telling but also in its imaginative projection of a mindset for early humans. Capitalizing on his recognized ability to understand animals, Jack London paints an arresting and dark portrait of how our distant ancestors thought about themselves and their world.

Lacná kniha Das Zweite Gedächtnis (-70%)
Es ist Mittwoch, der 29. Januar 1958, und der Start des ersten amerikanischen Satelliten, Explorer, steht unmittelbar bevor. So steht es in der Zeitung, doch für Luke bedeuten diese Worte nichts. Um zu verstehen, was ihn in diese Lage gebracht hat, müssen wir zurückgehen in das Jahr 1941. Damals studierten fünf junge Leute in Harvard an der Universität. Jeder von ihnen hatte seine Träume im Leben - und jeder von ihnen stand im Krieg in Diensten des OSS, der Vorläufer-Organisation der CIA. Anthony blieb beim Geheimdienst und machte dort Karriere. Bern wurde Schriftsteller, geriet auf die Schwarze Liste der McCarthy-Ära und verdiente sich dann sein Geld mit Kinderbüchern. Billie wurde Psychologin und schrieb ein grundlegendes Werk über die Natur des Gedächtnisses. Elspeth heiratete schließlich Claude “Luke” Lucas, den fünften im Bunde, der Raketentechnik studierte und jetzt an der Entwicklung des amerikanischen Satellitenprogramms arbeitet. Und der sich daran nicht mehr erinnern kann. Während der Countdown zum Start der Rakete tickt, wird Luke klar, dass nicht alle seine Freunde von einst die Wahrheit sagen. Und dass mindestens einer von ihnen ein Verräter ist.

Pravidlo žádných pravidel
Firemní kultura Netflixu se na první pohled zdá příliš radikální na to, aby v reálném světě mohla fungovat. Jenže Netflix se díky ní dokázal proměnit z půjčovny DVD ve streamovací velmoc se 195 miliony zákazníků, která produkuje oscarové snímky.
Netflix představuje jeden z největších byznysovy´ch úspěchů historie. Jeho nevídaná firemní pravidla však nepřišla až se slávou a miliardovy´mi tržbami. Naopak, například pravidlo „plaťte nejlépe na trhu“ Netflix zavedl během finanční krize, kdy mu hrozil krach. Tehdy jeho CEO Reed Hastings pochopil, že jeden drahy´, špičkovy´ zaměstnanec nahradí několik průměrny´ch, a ušetří tak náklady.
Tato manažerská příručka pro 21. století ukazuje novou cestu, jak vést firmu v rychle se měnícím světě. Každy´, kdo nechce dopadnout jako Kodak nebo Nokia a kdo usiluje o vysokou produktivitu či inovativnost, v ní najde jasny´ a konkrétní návod, jak toho docílit.

Vzpoura proti globalizaci
Globalizace vytrhla stamiliony lidí z chudoby, přispěla k rozšíření vzdělanosti i zdravotní péče a pomohla snížit počet konfliktů mezi státy na historické minimum. To vše jsou skvělé zprávy. Proč se tedy proti ní lidé bouří?
Protože zároveň vede k vykořisťování, poškozuje komunity, ničí ekosystémy a usnadnila také rozšíření pandemie. Lidé po celém světě cítí ohrožení svého způsobu života, identity i kultury a ztrácejí důvěru v instituce. Většina z nás má obavy z budoucnosti. Z toho těží populističtí politici, šarlatáni brojící proti vědě, nacionalisté, náboženští fundamentalisté, tvůrci falešných zpráv na sociálních sítích, totalitní ideologové nebo vyznavači konspiračních teorií. Poválečný věk zodpovědnosti provázený stabilitou a příslibem prosperity skončil. Co nás tedy čeká?
Přední izraelský novinář Nadav Ejal popisuje protiglobalizační vzpouru na příbězích konkrétních lidí. Hovoří s anarchisty, neonacisty, ochránci přírody, uprchlíky, zoufalými horníky bez práce či politikem z potápějících se Malediv. Pátrá po kořenech i důsledcích, analyzuje, nesoudí. Dochází k závěru, že máme jedinečnou šanci využít energii revolty pro potřebné reformy. Vzpoura proti globalizaci není jen hrozbou, ale i velkou příležitostí. Můžeme vytvořit spravedlivější a udržitelnější svět. Tedˇ je to na nás.
Díky knize si mimo jiné uvědomíte, že
- K zarytým stoupencům populistu° a krajní levice či pravice nepatří především chudí lidé, nýbrž střední třída ztrácející své jistoty.
- Pokud je cena dovezených výrobku° nižší, protože v místě výroby neplatí tak přísné zákony omezující znečištění, pak zákazníci šetří na úkor tamních lidských životu°.
- Islámský fundamentalismus se navenek tváří jako ochránce tradic, je však moderním fenoménem využívajícím nejnovější technologie.
- Dopadům klimatické krize čelí už desetiletí chudé národy, které k ní přispěly nejméně.
- Neexistuje žádný ověřený model pro zachování moderní společnosti za podmínek rapidního stárnutí populace.

Fatherland
What do we owe the past? How to make peace with a dark family history? Burkhard Bilger hardly knew his grandfather growing up. His parents immigrated to Oklahoma from Germany after World War II, and though his mother was an historian, she rarely talked about her father or what he did during the war. Then one day a packet of letters arrived from Germany, yellowing with age, and a secret history began to unfold.
Karl Gönner was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party’s brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country’s crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out.
What follows is a literary suspense story: a tale of chance encounters and serendipitous discoveries in villages and dusty archives across Germany and France. Intimate and far-reaching, Fatherland is an extraordinary odyssey through the great upheavals of the past century, tracing one family’s path through history’s wreckage.
For readers of Bart van Es’s The Cut Out Girl or Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with the Amber Eyes, this is a story of middle lands, torn allegiances and loaded family inheritance.

Denn Erfolg hat, wer seine Grenzen zwar kennt, aber die oft ungeschriebenen Regeln gekonnt bricht. Und tatsächlich lebt man besser und einfacher, wenn man nicht versucht, es allen recht zu machen. Doch vor allem in wichtigen Situationen haben viele Menschen Skrupel, den Erwartungen anderer Menschen mal nicht zu entsprechen und einfach „Nein“ zu sagen. Oft stehen dahinter die Angst vor Abwertung oder Sanktionen, falsche Höflichkeiten, zu hohe Ansprüche an sich selbst oder Schuldgefühle. Mit diesen negativen Gefühlen steht man jedoch selbst im Weg, wenn es darum geht, sich durchzusetzen. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie trotz aller Bedenken der gekonnte Regelbruch funktioniert.
Unsere Ratgeber richten sich vor allem an Einsteiger. Leser, die vertiefende Informationen suchen, können diese umsonst als AddOn mit individuellen Inhalten nach Wunsch erhalten. Möglich wird dieses Konzept durch ein besonders effizientes, innovatives Digital-Verfahren.

Straightforward New B2 Upper Intermediate SB 2Ed
For ease of use and practicality Straightforward Second Edition is structured to provide one lesson per double-page spread (A/B/C/D), lasting around 90 minutes. All lessons are interlinked to promote better and more memorable learning, but there is the flexibility to pick out certain key sections to focus on certain language points. GRAMMAR - Clear and uncomplicated grammar explanations present new grammar elements. Students are always supported by the Language Reference pages at the back of their book allowing them to further work on a difficult area and understand the language. VOCABULARY - Difficult and out of context words from the text are presented in the glossary so students are not distracted by these lexical hurdles. READING - Texts are accessible for the relevant level, realistic and from a variety of different sources/contexts. FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGE - Students are not expected to learn in a vacuum and their interests and curiosities are met with 'Did you know' sections. CEF/SELF ASSESSMENT - Each unit culminates in a self assessment box so students can check and monitor their own progress and become more independent learners. The checklist is a selection of clear 'can-do' statements and therefore links to the CEF and portfolio elements of the course. FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGE - This section helps students to deal with common, every-day situations in an English-speaking environment - what we might think of as survival language.

Vow of Thieves
Vow of Thieves is the thrilling sequel to Dance of Thieves, set in the same world as Mary E. Pearson's New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
Kazi and Jase have survived, stronger and more in love than ever. Their new life now lies before them - the Ballengers will be outlaws no longer, Tor's Watch will be a kingdom, and Kazi and Jase will meet all challenges side by side, together at last.
But an ominous warning mars their journey back, and they soon find themselves captured in a tangled web of deceit woven by their greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies, a place where betrayals run deeper and more deadly than either had thought possible, and where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both.
