Lacná kniha Buying of Lot 37 (-70%)
From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novels It Devours! and Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a collection of episodes from Season Three of their hit podcast, featuring an introduction by the authors, a foreword by Dessa, behind-the-scenes commentary, and original illustrations.
In June of 2012, the creators of Welcome to Night Vale began airing twice-monthly podcasts, hoping to be heard by anyone outside their close circles. They never had any idea just how much the podcast would take off, and by the anniversary show a year later, the fanbase had wildly exploded, vaulting the podcast into the #1 spot on iTunes. Since then, its popularity has grown by epic proportions, hitting more than 100 million downloads, and Night Vale has expanded to a successful live multi-cast international touring stage show and two New York Times bestselling novels (Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours!), and a new podcast network Night Vale Presents. Now the second two seasons are available as books, offering a valuable reference guide to past episodes.
The Buying of Lot 37 brings Season Three of the podcast to book form. With foreword by recording artist and author Dessa, introductions by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, insightful behind-the-scenes commentary by cast members and supporters, and beautiful illustrations by series artist Jessica Hayworth accompanying each episode, this book is both an entertaining reading experience and an absolute must-have for any fan of the podcast.

Bittersweet
In this inspiring masterpiece, bestselling author Susan Cain shows the power of the "bittersweet" -- the outlook that values the experiences of loss and pain, which can lead to growth and beauty. Understanding bittersweetness can change the way we work, the way we create and the way we love.
Each chapter helps us navigate an issue that define our lives, from love to death and from authenticity to creativity. Using examples ranging from music and cinema to parenting and business, as well as her own life and the latest academic research, she shows how understanding bittersweetness will allow us, in a flawed world, to accept the loss of past identities; to fully embrace the loves we have; and to weather life's transitions.
Bittersweet reveals that vulnerability and even melancholy can be strengths, and that embracing our inevitable losses makes us more human and more whole. This is a book for those who have felt a piercing joy at the beauty of the world; who react intensely to art and nature; and in a culture that celebrates toughness, who yearn for a wiser and more meaningful world. For bittersweetness is the hidden source of our love stories, moonshots and masterpieces.

Lacná kniha The Red Scrolls of Magic (-70%)
From #1 New York Times bestseller Cassandra Clare and award-winner Wesley Chu comes the first book in a new series that follows High Warlock Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood as they tour the world after the Mortal War. The Red Scrolls of Magic is a Shadowhunters novel. All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation-a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend.
But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. Years ago.
As a joke. Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. As if it wasn't bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe.
As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever-even if it means revealing the secrets they've both been keeping.

How Big Things Get Done
Best Books of 2023 – The Financial Times and The Economist
Shortlisted for Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year 2023
World expert Bent Flyvbjerg and bestselling author Dan Gardner reveal the secrets to successfully planning and delivering ambitious projects on any scale.
Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant new reality. Think of how Apple’s iPod went from a project with a single employee to an enormously successful product launch in eleven months. But such successes are the exception. Consider how London’s Crossrail project delivered five years late and billions over budget. More modest endeavours, whether launching a small business, organizing a conference, or just finishing a work project on time, also commonly fail. Why?
Understanding what distinguishes the triumphs from the failures has been the life’s work of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg. In How Big Things Get Done, he identifies the errors that lead projects to fail, and the research-based principles that will make yours succeed:
- Understand your odds. If you don’t know them, you won’t win.
- Plan slow, act fast. Getting to the action quick feels right. But it’s wrong.
- Think right to left. Start with your goal, then identify the steps to get there.
- Find your Lego. Big is best built from small.
- Master the unknown unknowns. Most think they can’t, so they fail. Flyvbjerg shows how you can.
Full of vivid examples ranging from the building of the Sydney Opera House to the making of the latest Pixar blockbusters, How Big Things Get Done reveals how to get any ambitious project done – on time and on budget.

Úlohou ocenenia CE ZA AR (Cena za architektúru) je zdôrazňovať kultúrnu hodnotu architektonických diel, podporovať excelentnosť profesionálnych výkonov architektov, no predovšetkým kultivovať verejné povedomie o nutnosti rozvoja kvalitnej architektúry, ako základného princípu zvyšovania kvality prostredia vytváraného výstavbou. Práve z toho dôvodu Slovenská komora architektov každoročne prezentuje nominované diela, ako najlepšie architektonické diela s osobitným významom v jednotlivých kategóriách, ktoré si pre svoju originalitu a výnimočnosť zaslúžia osobitnú pozornosť.
The task of the CE ZA AR Prize (Prize for Architecture) is to emphasise the cultural value of architectural works, to support the excellency of professional interventions of architects, but mainly to cultivate public awareness about the need for high-quality architecture as the basic principle of improving the quality of environment created through construction. This is the precise reason why the Slovak Chamber of Architects presents each years nominees as the best architectural works with special significance in the individual categories that deserve special attention for their original and extraordinary character.

Malá kniha stoicizmu
Nadčasové poznanie, ako získať odolnosť. sebadôveru a pokoj
„Ako dlho budete čakať, než zo seba dostanete to najlepšie?“ (Epiktétos, filozof stoicizmu)
Kde nájsť radosť? Získať silu? Ako čeliť svojmu strachu a ťažkostiam? Ako sa vyrovnať so smrťou milovaného? A čo tie stále sa opakujúce depresívne myšlienky?
Nech už prechádzate akoukoľvek namáhavou životnou etapou, stoici vám poradia, ako sa efektívnejšie vyrovnať so všetkým, čo vám život prinesie a ako žiť podľa svojich najlepších predstáv. I napriek starobylosti tejto filozofie pôsobí jej múdrosť prekvapivo moderne a sviežo a jej hodnota pri hľadaní šťastného a zmysluplného života je nepopierateľná.
V knihe nájdete osvedčené spôsoby, ako vystúpiť z emocionálnej horskej dráhy, znížiť negatívne emócie a zostať pokojný. Ako žiť podľa súboru overených hodnôt a rozvíjať pozitívne vlastnosti, akými sú odvaha, trpezlivosť, sebadisciplína, vytrvalosť a duševná sila. Ale nájdete v nej aj praktické stratégie, ako zlepšiť svoje momentálne vedomie a lepšie zvládať seba a svoje konanie v tomto chaotickom svete. Pretože jadrom tejto praktickej filozofie je viesť šťastný život aj (a najmä) tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu.

Chip War
An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical resource—microchip technology
Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naive assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests. Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US.
In Chip War economic historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the Russians’ arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control this industry will shape our future. China spends more money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China's greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand.

Michael Connelly je jedným z najúspešnejších amerických autorov detektívok nielen vo svete, ale aj na Slovensku. Je autorom dvadsiatich ôsmich románov, ktoré vyšli aj v slovenskom preklade. Harry Bosch už nie je policajný detektív. Od polície odišiel dobrovoľne, keďže jeho šéf proti nemu rozbehol disciplinárny súd. Harryho obhajca je jeho nevlastný brat Mickey Haller. Mick však zároveň zastupuje aj človeka, ktorý čelí zdanlivo nepriestrelnému obvineniu z brutálnej vraždy. Haller je presvedčený, že jeho klient je nevinný, preto sa usiluje prehovoriť Boscha, aby mu s prípadom pomohol. Harryho čaká neľahké rozhodnutie: prejde na druhú stranu k obhajobe a pridá sa k ľuďom, proti ktorým celý život tvrdo bojoval?
