Hra Zem na cestách
Pri hraní Zem na cestách nemusíte byť zrovna chodiacou encyklopédiou. Stačí mať základný prehľad, lebo o to práve v hre ide. Kde sa nachádza najväčšie výskumné stredisko? Odkiaľ pochádzajú banány? Ktorý vrchol je najviac vzdialený od stredu Zeme alebo kedy sa vydala na cestu prvá šoférka bez vodičského preukazu? Jeden z hráčov je tipér a iba on odpovedá na otázku, ktorú mu vybral vyzývateľ. Všetci ostatní hráči odhadujú, či je jeho odpoveď správna alebo nie. Ale pozor! Výzvu je možné odmietnuť, a potom sám vyzývateľ musí správne umiestniť svoju kocku, pochopiteľne s väčším rizikom. Kto výzvu príjme? S novými pravidlami, dynamickejším priebehom hry a väčšou interaktivitou ponúka táto hra nový pohľad do sveta Zeme. A samozrejme, všetok materiál Země na cestách je možné použiť ako rozšírenie k pôvodnej veľkej hre ZEMĚ.

Legacy: a gripping new novel from global bestselling author
The first time she met her father was the day he tried to kill her...
Adrian Rizzo didn't have the easiest childhood, to put it mildly, but she's worked hard to put it behind her and to the outside world she is a beautiful young woman with a successful, high-profile career and a wonderful family and friends.
When, out of the blue, she receives a death threat in the post, she is shocked but puts it down to someone's jealousy of her success and tries to forget about it. But Adrian doesn't realise that it's more than just spite. Someone is very, very angry about her happy life and will stop at nothing to bring it all crashing down.
K hranici
Román Ondřeje Štindla K hranici sestává ze tří částí. Každá má jiného protagonistu, každá je zasazena v jiném historickém údobí, a přece je leccos spojuje: vlasovský voják Stěpan na konci druhé světové války, řidič náklaďáku Michal za tuhé normalizace a sanitář Ivan na sklonku komunistického režimu (a v samém závěru téměř o třicet let později, už coby uznávaný výtvarník) jsou outsideři, kteří se nedokážou konformovat s většinovou společností a ani po tom nijak zvlášť netouží. Po nějakou dobu se sice pokoušejí splynout s okolím, podřizují se neviděné, ale palčivě tušené „Hydře“, ale v určitou chvíli, také pod vlivem prožitku lásky, učiní osudové rozhodnutí a vzepřou se. Jejich životy se tím nenávratně promění, začnou směřovat k tragickému rozuzlení, nevyhnutelnému a drtivému, avšak nepopírajícímu možnost, že za touto „hranicí“ existuje ještě nějaká další naděje. Autor ve svém vyprávění mísí osobní i veřejné; působivě vykresluje individuální osudy na pozadí historických událostí, přičemž snoubí love story s bildungsromanem, pistolnickou historkou a mýtem. Své tři příběhy neokázalým způsobem spojuje v jeden a zasazuje jej povětšinou do širšího centra Prahy, zhruba vymezeného Karlovem, Vyšehradem, Nuslemi a Vinohrady. Praha je tu přitom víc než pouhou kulisou: pražský genius loci se ve Štindlově podání stává bezmála další postavou, skutečným spoluhráčem (či protihráčem) autorových hrdinů. Přestože tak román zkoumá hranice všeho druhu – jeho hrdinové se „k hranici“ vypravují vlastně neustále, ať už jde o pomyslnou hranici sebeobětování, fyzickou, zadrátovanou hranici totalitního státu, či hranici duševní rovnováhy –, do jisté míry je také hledáním středu, centra, hlubiny bezpečí.

Praise for The Girl from Oto:
"I loved the lush descriptions and the hard-nosed female characters who find a way to get what they want in a man's world. An exquisite novel."
--Martha Conway, winner of the North American Book Award for Thieving Forest
"An absorbing debut novel. I couldn't put it down."
--Deborah Swift, author of The Gilded Lily
"From the opening sentence, I was utterly enchanted. Maroney has painted a dazzling portrait of two very different times in history -- the 15th Century and modern day. The Girl from Oto is not only luxuriantly detailed, but the story itself is addictive to the extreme. The pages practically turned themselves."
-- Book of the Month Winner, Myths, Legends, Books, and Coffee Pots blog
"A powerful story and an intriguing mystery. A Red Ribbon winner and highly recommended."

Winsor McCay. The Complete Little Nemo
Meet Little Nemo, a diminutive hero of comic narrative, but one of the greatest dream voyagers of the 20th century. The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869-1934), restless sleeper Nemo inspired generations of artists with his weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling escapades.
Nemo's creator Winsor McCay was a founding figure in the modern American entertainment industry, above all with his revolutionary comics, which set standards for panel layout and storytelling technique, timing and pacing, and architectural and other detail that left an inestimable influence on subsequent artists, including Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini.
TASCHEN's sumptuous Winsor McCay - The Complete Little Nemo collects, in full, glorious color, all 549 episodes of Little Nemo. In the illustrated essay, art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay's life and work within the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry, and explores the immense art historical value of McCay's dream narrative. At once an adventure story, visual delight, and piece of cultural history, this publication is a tremendous monument to one of the most innovative pioneers-and one of the most intrepid explorers-of comic history.

Monobloc
A visual history of the world's most famous and ubiquitous chair
The Monobloc is the bestselling piece of furniture of all time: an estimated one billion copies of this white plastic chair are in circulation all over the world. This book arises from a documentary by German film director Hauke Wendler, who spent eight years filming on five continents to explore the impact of the Monobloc on a global scale.
Combining archival documentation with images from Wendler’s film (to be released in 2022), this book complicates the narrative and mystery of the Monobloc's popularity. Embracing its ubiquity, it also addresses the chair’s environmental, economic and aesthetic impacts. How does the Monobloc threaten our environment and good taste? Finally, how has it become indispensable to millions of people for whom a chair is a chair and nothing more?
This book offers insight, through film, photography and design history, into the story of how an unremarkable, stackable chair conquered the world.
What Your Food Ate
We know that our diet influences our health. But is there more to the adage "you are what you eat?" Connecting the dots from agriculture to medicine, geologist David R. Montgomery and biologist Anne Bikle argue we overlook the other half of a healthy diet: how we grow our food.
Journeying from research labs to the fields of regenerative farmers, they uncover scientific and historical evidence for how farming practices-so often disruptive to microbial partnerships-influence soil health and shape the types and amounts of health-promoting minerals, fats and phytochemicals in our crops, meat and dairy-and thus ourselves. Understanding these connections has profound implications for what we eat and how we grow it, now and in the future. A capstone work from lauded authors, What Your Food Ate is a story both sobering and inspiring: what's good for the soil is good for us, too.

Čekání na smrt
Tentokrát to vypadá spíš na nehodu... Při požáru v motelu zemře muž s oprátkou na krku, jemuž najdou v krvi stopy po velkém množství alkoholu. Prostě se opil a spáchal sebevraždu a k požáru došlo omylem, když neopatrně odhodil poslední cigaretu... Jenomže pověstný instinkt inspektora Billa Slidera se zdánlivou jasností případu nenechá zmást. Ačkoli mu jeho nadřízený jasně vyloží, že finanční situace na jejich oddělení si žádá rychlé vyřešení případu - čímž míní okamžité potvrzení verze, že se jedná o sebevraždu - Bill se vydává po nejisté stopě. A brzy zjistí, že mrtvý muž kdysi pracoval jako hasič na jedné z londýnských stanic. A že není první z hasičů, kteří tam tenkrát pracovali, jenž zemřel za podivných okolností. A brzy se ukáže, že není ani poslední... Bill ale potřebuje čas... A netlačí na něj jen spořivý šéf. Také Joannu už přestává bavit být stále jen ta druhá.

Autosalon Jana Wericha
Dobrodružství s automobily Jana Wericha, Jiřího Voskovce a jejich Osvobozeného
divadla začalo jednou kapitolou Jožky Strnada, kterou tento dlouholetý Werichův přítel nazval „Jan a auta“. Zaujala nás.
A tak jsme se vydali po stopě a žasli jsme. Těch automobilů bylo pres třicet! Na počátku stopy slojí již téměř zapomenutý prostějovský Wikov a ještě zapomenutější Marmon z Indianopolis. Pak aerovka 662 a řada tatřiček, steyr a pragovka a fordka V8, předválečný bavorák, Škoda Tudor první naše auto vyráběné po válce a pak buick a chevrolet, jankovitá volha a úhledná cortina, VW variant, Rénault VB a ještě další vozidla… A potom jsme objevili vzpomínky na řidiče Osvobozeného divadla a Jana Wericha, pana Artura Dvorského... Žasněte s námi. Z pátrání vznikla podivuhodná změť technických údajů, nápadů a dokonce i myšlenek. Nebojte se. Některé z nich slojí za čtení. Hlavně ty myšlenky a nápady, které citujeme z prací V+W...
