Dětská neurologie - svazky I a II
Českým čtenářům se dostává do rukou překlad 7. vydání známé Menkesovy knihy Child Neurology. Ačkoliv u nás v minulosti vyšlo několik monografií věnovaných dětské neurologii, tento text je z nich nepochybně nejobsáhlejší a nejucelenější. A navíc přiná
ší poměrně aktuální informace. Autoři sedmé reedice zaznamenali všechny moderní trendy a poznatky, zejména ty, které přinesl bouřlivý rozvoj molekulárně genetických technologií.
The Dawn of Language
An erudite, tightly woven and beautifully written account of one of humanity's greatest mysteries - the origins of language.
Drawing on evidence from many fields, including archaeology, anthropology, neurology and linguistics, Sverker Johansson weaves these disparate threads together to show how our human ancestors evolved into language users. The Dawn of Language provides a fascinating survey of how grammar came into being and the differences or similarities between languages spoken around the world, before exploring how language eventually emerged in the very remote human past.
Our intellectual and physiological changes through the process of evolution both have a bearing on our ability to acquire language. But to what extent is the evolution of language dependent on genes, or on environment? How has language evolved further, and how is it changing now, in the process of globalisation? And which aspects of language ensure that robots are not yet intelligent enough to reconstruct how language has evolved?
Johansson's far-reaching, authoritative and research-based approach to language is brought to life through dozens of astonishing examples, both human and animal, in a fascinatingly erudite and entertaining volume for anyone who has ever contemplated not just why we speak the way we do, but why we speak at all.
Translated from the Swedish by Frank Perry
Dolores Claiborneová
Dolores Claiborneová žije na vesnici na malém ostrově Little Tall a těžce si vydělává na živobytí jako hospodyně u bohaté Very Donovanové, která tam každoročně jezdí na letní sezónu do svého domu. Přizpůsobivá Dolores si zvyká i na Veřinu panovačnost a obě ženy spolu časem začnou poměrně dobře vycházet. Když stará a nemocná Vera po letech zemře a odkáže veškerý majetek Dolores, vesničané si myslí, že ji Dolores zabila. Ta v poutavé zpovědi na policii vraždu Very odmítá, ale při výslechu vyjdou najevo jiné temné okolnosti z pohnutého života hlavní hrdinky.
Neuvěřitelně poutavý Kingův román, psaný jako monolog životem pronásledované ženy, se tak trochu vymyká ostatní Kingově tvorbě. Obvyklé tajemno tu zastupuje zatmění Slunce, které sehrálo v příběhu významnou roli.

Leonard a Hladový Paul
Odzbrojující román kladoucí prostou otázku: Mohou dobří lidé změnit svět?
Leonard a Hladový Paul je okouzlující příběh dvou milých svobodných třicátníků, kterých byste si na ulici ani nevšimli, natož aby se z nich stávali hrdinové románů. V jejich obyčejnosti se však skrývá neobyčejná síla.
Leonard se živí psaním encyklopedií pro děti a touží po někom, s kým by mohl společně žasnout nad krásou všehomíra. Hladový Paul je naopak se svým životem spokojený beze zbytku — je chodícím ztělesněním bytí v přítomném okamžiku. Oba přátelé se pomocí humoru, deskových her a ticha snaží proplout bouří života v jednadvacátém století a uchránit si to nejcennější — radost z každé, i té nejobyčejnější chvíle.

East West Yang Liu
Already an online phenomenon, East Meets West is the first volume in designer Yang Liu's successful infographic series. Conceived and designed with perceptive wit and her signature graphic simplicity, Yang Liu's pictograms convey the obvious and sometimes not so obvious discrepancies in life on opposite sides of the globe. Drawing on her own experiences of China and Europe, Yang Liu explores a rich range of differences between Eastern and Western experience, from sleeping patterns to the role of senior citizens, from leisure activities to attitudes towards beauty, property and public space. With their clarity, insight and fundamental fondness towards both cultures. Yang Liu's work has become not only a social media and magazine darling, but also a favorite with professional training programms around the world.

Lets Do It: The Birth of Pop
Pop music didn't begin with the Beatles in 1963, or with Elvis in 1956, or even with the first seven-inch singles in 1949. There was a pre-history that went back to the first recorded music, right back to the turn of the century . . .
Who were the earliest record stars, and were they in any meaningful way 'pop stars'? Who were the likes of George Gershwin writing songs for? Why did swing, the hit sound for a decade or more, become almost invisible after the Second World War?
The prequel to Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah, Let's Do It is the first book to tell the definitive story of the birth of pop, from the invention of the 78 rpm record at the end of the nineteenth century to the beginnings of rock and the modern pop age. Taking in superstars such as Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra alongside the unheralded songwriters and arrangers behind some of our most enduring songs, Stanley paints an aural portrait of pop music's formative years in stunning clarity, uncovering the silver threads and golden needles that bind the form together.
Bringing the eclectic, evolving world of early pop to life - from ragtime, blues and jazz to Broadway, country, crooning and beyond - Let's Do It is essential reading for all music lovers.
Raphael
An authoritative introduction to one of the most influential painters in the history of art, written by the pre-eminent authority on the subject and informed by the latest research.
More versatile and less idiosyncratic than Michelangelo, more prolific and accessible than his mentor Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, though he died at only thirty-seven, is considered the single most influential artist of the Renaissance.
Here, art historian Paul Joannides explores the different social and regional contexts of Raphael's work and discusses all aspects of his artistic output. He traces Raphael's career from his origins in Urbino, through his altarpieces made in Umbria in the shadow of Perugino, to the first flowering of his genius in Florence where he painted a series of iconic Madonnas that are among the most beloved images in Western art. Raphael's employment by the dynamic and demanding Pope Julius II gave him opportunities without parallel and encouraged the full expansion of his genius. As a sophisticate entrepreneur, he dominated Rome's artistic life and extended the range of his activities to that of architect, designer, pioneer archaeologist and theoretician.
The foundation of Raphael's versatility and range was his supreme clarity of mind as a draughtsman. Knowledge of his drawings, on which Joannides is a leading expert, is central to understanding of his achievement, and they are thoroughly explored here.
A némaértő olvasás alapjai, 1. osztály
A betűtanulástól az összefüggő szöveg olvasásáig - különös tekintettel az olvasottak megértésére - hosszabb - rövidebb folyamatot kell az elsős gyermekeknek végigküzdenie. Ennek időtartama gyermekenként változó. Minden kisiskolásnak végig kell viszont járnia bizonyos lépcsőfokokat, míg a folyamat végére jut. Ez a kiadvány ahhoz kíván segítséget nyújtani, hogy az elolvasott szó megértésétől a szókapcsolatokon át az elolvasott mondat megértéséig eljuttassuk gyermekeinket. Életkori sajátosságaikból adódóan fontos, hogy mindezt tevékenykedtetve (aláhúzás, rajzolás, színezés, kiegészítés) végezzék a tanulók.
The Stand-In
HOW TO UPEND YOUR LIFE:
Get fired by gross, handsy boss
Fail to do laundry (again)
Be mistaken for famous Chinese actress
Fall head-first into glitzy new world
Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly "friendly" boss, and yes she still hasn't gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she's healthy, she's (somewhat) happy, and she's (mostly) holding it all together.
But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie's world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in. The catch? Gracie will have to be escorted by Sam, the most attractive-and infuriating-man Gracie's ever met.
If it means getting the money she needs for her mother, Gracie's in. Soon Gracie moves into a world of luxury she never knew existed. But resisting Sam, and playing the role of an elegant movie star, proves more difficult than she ever imagined-especially when she learns the real reason Fangli so desperately needs her help. In the end all the lists in the world won't be able to help Gracie keep up this elaborate ruse without losing herself...and her heart.

Sousedka ze Skalistých hor/ Pouštní seznamka
Blanka Solařová-Calibaba žije již skoro třicet let mimo Českou republiku. Dle jejího životopisu se lze domnívat, že miluje extrémy.
První extrém = kanadské hory.
S prvním manželem kanadským naftařem žila v kanadské Albertě, kde v zimě bývá až mínus 40 C°. Divoká příroda, svérázní obyvatelé, lidé bohatí a rozežraní tak, že už nevědí, jakou blbost by vymysleli. Třeba její vlezlá sousedka měla fakt divného domácího mazlíčka – kohoutka, učila ho kadit na písek, založila mu FB, a dokonce mu nechala udělat manikúru!
Druhý extrém = poušť.
Po pár letech neustálé zimy a nevydařeného manželství se Blanka rozhodla odejít do tepla. V Abú Zabí v létě dosahují teploty plus 45 C°. Podruhé se vdala. Sice manželství se s „Hovňousem“ (popsané v knihách Velbloudi a bloudi a Fíky a datle) nepovedlo, ale rozhodla se už teplotu vzduchu neměnit, setrvat na pozici učitelky a prozkoumat Tinder…
Going Postal
The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
The post was an old thing, of course, but it was so old that it had magically become new again.
Moist von Lipwig is a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put the ailing postal service of Ankh-Morpork – the Discworld’s city-state – back on its feet.
It’s a tough decision.
The post is a creaking old institution, overshadowed by new technology. But there are people who still believe in it, and Moist must become one of them if he's going to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, an evil chairman . . . and a midnight killer.
Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too.
Perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Going Postal is the first book in the Moist von Lipwig series.
