Everything But the Girl - Fuse (Deluxe Edition) CD+BD
Po dlhšej prestávke, ktorá trvala viac ako 20 rokov, je najoriginálnejšie popové duo 90. rokov späť, aby znovu získalo svoju slávu na svojom novom albume Fuse. Album, v ktorom Everything But The Girl poskytuje moderný pohľad na lesklú elektronickú dušu, ktorú skupina prvýkrát objavila v polovici 90. rokov, pričom zostala úplne verná klubovo orientovanej trajektórii, ktorú zanechali na svojich kľúčových albumoch Walking Wounded (1996) a Temperamental. (1999), bez toho, aby to znelo čo i len vzdialenejšie. Thornov pôsobivý a bohato štruktúrovaný hlas je opäť raz v popredí vo Wattovej trblietavej krajine subbasov, ostrých beatov, poloosvetlených syntetizátorov a prázdneho priestoru, a ako predtým, výsledkom je zvuk kapely, ktorý je pohodlný a zároveň zvukovo súčasný. , no nestarnúce sami sebou.

Patrik Schick: Střelec za miliardu
Vyhlášený snajpr Bayeru Leverkusen a také pěti prestižních evropských lig, dříve rovněž Sampdorie Janov, AS Řím, Lipska, ale také fotbalista Sparty a Bohemians, se zaskvěl zejména na EURO 2020. S pěti góly se společně s Cristianem Ronaldem stal střelcem turnaje. Jednoho z nejlepších fotbalistů historie však předčil právě svým dalekonosným až bájným lobem, pomalu padesátimetrovým, do sítě Skotů, nejkrásnějším zásahem šampionátu, skutečně střelou roku.
“Dostal se ke mně odražený balon, už během zápasu jsem se koukal, kde stojí gólman. Periferně jsem se podíval, viděl jsem, že je venku, a prásknul to tam.”
Patrik, stále jen šestadvacetiletý, se vypracoval na forvarda světového formátu, sledují ho pomalu všechny excelentní kluby včetně Paris Saint-Germain. Jen si představme, že by nastupoval po boku Messiho a Neymara! A proč by ne, vždyť je komplexním fotbalistou a k tomu kanonýrem, skvělým technikem, který zakončuje oběma nohama, nemálo gólů střílí hlavou. V bundeslize dokáže střelecky soutěžit s takovou star, jakou je snajpr Bayernu Robert Lewandowski, nejlepší hráč FIFA posledních dvou let.
“Pro mě bylo EURO povedeným turnajem,” svěřil Patrik Schick. “Ovšem všichni víme, že jsme při troše štěstí mohli být ještě výše. Učinili jsme maximum, v závěru zápasu s Dány jsme už neměli sílu ho zvrátit.”
Bez Patrika si sestavu Čechů jen těžko dokáže představit Jaroslav Šilhavý. Národnímu kouči a týmu Česka výrazně pomohl vyválčit na Evropě čtvrfinále a nyní se k prvnímu střelci upínají naděje v zápase se Švédy o účast na světovém šampionátu 2022 v Kataru. V průběhu roku Patrik může navíc poměřit své schopnosti právě s Cristianem Ronaldem či Álvaro Moratou v utkáních Ligy národů s Portugalskem a Španělskem.
“Hráčům jsme po prohraném čtvrfinále s Dánskem poděkovali. Na EURO jsme hráli na hranici svých možností a pracovali na něm jako tým. Osobně naši účast na šampionátu hodnotím jako úspěch. Co jsme dokázali, je úžasné,” řekl Jaroslav Šilhavý. “Naši hráči celý šampionát odmakali, vydali se na turnaji na 150 procent a zaslouží si absolutorium.”
Kouč, který národní mužstvu vyzvedl z šedivého průměrně a výtečně tým pro turnaj vyladil, nechtěl nikoho vyzvedávat, ale je nad slunce jasné, že stěžejní oporou se stal Patrik Schick.
Právě jeho, bezpochyby nejlepšího fotbalistu Česka současnosti, představuje tato originální výpravná kniha obohacená plakátem. Vznikla ve spolupráci s fotbalovým měsíčníkem Hattrick a je věnována všem fanouškům české fotbalové reprezentace a fotbalu vůbec.
The Marriage That Didn’t Stay In Vegas (EN)
The catchphrase "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is supposed to be the code, but what happens when it doesn’t remain in Vegas? Phoebe Alexis Courtland had a plan. As a paralegal studying for the bar, she decided while in Vegas for a conference she would let off some steam with her friends. When Phoebe wakes the last day of her weekend trip to Vegas, she finds one of the biggest princess cut wedding rings on her ring finger while lying on top of a naked chiseled chest god.

The Green Mouse
To the literary, literal, and scientific mind purposeless fiction is abhorrent. Fortunately we all are literally and scientifically inclined; the doom of purposeless fiction is sounded; and it is a great comfort to believe that, in the near future, only literary and scientific works suitable for man, woman, child, and suffragette, are to adorn the lingerie-laden counters in our great department shops. It is, then, with animation and confidence that the author politely offers to a regenerated nation this modern, moral, literary, and highly scientific work, thinly but ineffectually disguised as fiction, in deference to the prejudices of a few old-fashioned story-readers who still survive among us. -- R.W.C.

On Being Nice: how the forgotten quality of being nice deserves to be rediscovered.
Exploring a much forgotten quality.
Most books that want to change us seek to make us richer or thinner. This book wants to help us to be nicer: that is, less irritable, more patient, readier to listen, warmer, less prickly. Niceness may not have the immediate allure of money or fame, but it is a hugely important quality nevertheless and one that we neglect at our peril.
This is a guidebook to the uncharted landscape of niceness, gently leading us around the key themes of this forgotten quality. We learn how to be charitable, how to forgive, how to be natural, and how to reassure. We learn that niceness is compatible with strength and is no indicator of naivety. Niceness deserves to be rediscovered as one of the highest of all human achievements.

The Extended Selfish Gene
The Selfish Gene is a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. In it Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for the replication of genes. The book provoked widespread and heated debate, which in part led Dawkins to write The Extended Phenotype, in which he gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of
the gene as the unit of selection, as well as contributing his own development of this insight.
For the first time, The Extended Selfish Gene brings these two books together, by including two key chapters from The Extended Phenotype. These chapters provide Dawkins's detailed and powerful response to two issues raised by critics of The Selfish Gene: the accusations of genetic determinism (the idea that our behaviour is entirely determined by our genes), and of "adaptationism " (that all traits are indiscriminately perceived to be adaptations resulting from
natural selection). While written in particular for the biology community, Dawkins's clarity of expression allows these chapters to be accessible to all who are seriously engaged with the gene's eye view and its implications.
The imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant Selfish Gene not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as significant as on the day it was published. Along with the two extra chapters, The Extended Selfish Gene includes a new epilogue to The Selfish Gene from the author which highlights the
relevance of the gene's eye view to evolutionary biology today.

The Plant-based Diet Meal Plan
The Plant-Based Diet Meal Plan: The Whole Foods Diet has become increasingly popular as more people are making the conscious decision to eat better to improve their health and the quality of their lives. This diet focuses on consuming foods in their natural state to get the most health benefits. This is a very healthy diet that can potentially help reduce the risk of developing certain diseases such as heart disease and cancer. This is mainly because the Whole Foods Diet requires that individuals avoid all types of processed foods. There are suggestions to help people to begin following this diet and successfully incorporate these new eating habits in their lives. The first step to developing a Whole Foods Diet is completely changing the types of foods one eats. Honestly, this may require that individuals discard all of the food within their homes to ensure that all the food in the house is unprocessed. After dropping the processed foods, shopping for the right foods is a must. There are different options when grocery shopping to follow a Whole Foods diet. Some people choose to stick to health food stores while others go to farmers markets to purchase most of their food. Individuals can shop at a local grocery store; however, it takes a lot more effort to avoid buying processed items at a traditional grocery store. When shopping for foods, it is important to only select foods that are in their purest, natural state. This includes everything from sweeteners, cooking oils, and other products that are used to prepare meals. It is recommended that individuals make a shopping list before grocery shopping to ensure they stick to purchasing the right foods.
What you will learn in this book:
Plant Based Diet
Why A Plant-Based Diet Matters
Vegetarian Eating - How to Start Eating a Plant-Based Diet
Which Plant-Based Foods Are The Best For Building Muscle Mass?
The Significance of Eating a Whole Foods Diet
To commit to this diet, people will have to change the way they think about food. The days of the convenience of fast food are over. The Whole Foods way of eating does require that individuals be more conscious about what they consume at all times. In the beginning, this may be a bit difficult, but after becoming used to the dietary changes eating natural foods will become second nature.

European Art of the Eighteenth Century
This latest volume in the acclaimed "Art through the Centuries Series" explores the most important and influential artists and artistic concepts of the eighteenth century.While the Baroque style had dominated the previous century, a new sensibility - the Rococo - emerged during the early 1700s. The Rococo style, characterized by delicately curving forms, pastel colour, and a lighthearted mood began in French architectural and interior design and was popularized by artists such as Antoine Watteau and Francois Boucher.The second half of the century, spurred on by excavations and discoveries at Pompeii and Herculaneum, saw a return to Classical Greek and Roman models which matured into the Neoclassical style exhibited by Antonio Canova and Jacques-Louis David.

0th century. This landmark volume is assembled from hundreds of historical photographs and writings, starting with the building of the Mombasa Railroad ("The Lunatic Line") and the opening-up of darkest Africa. The stories behind the heroic figures i
n Beard's workTheodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courtney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Denys Finch-Hatton (the romantic hero of Out of Africa), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway, and J. H. Patterson (who became famous as the relentl
ess hunter of the "Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo")are all contextualized by Beard's own photographs of the enormous region. Shot in the 1960s and '70s in the Tsavo lowlands during the elephant-habitat crisis and then in Uganda parks, Beard's studies of
elephant and hippo population dynamics document the inevitable overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos.

Halil the Pedlar
On September 28th, 1730, a rebellion burst forth in Stambul against Sultan Achmed III., whose cowardly hesitation to take the field against the advancing hosts of the victorious Persians had revolted both the army and the people. The rebellion began in the camp of the Janissaries, and the ringleader was one Halil Patrona, a poor Albanian sailor-man, who after plying for a time the trade of a petty huckster had been compelled, by crime or accident, to seek a refuge among the mercenary soldiery of the Empire. The rebellion was unexpectedly, amazingly successful. The Sultan, after vainly sacrificing his chief councillors to the fury of the mob, was himself dethroned by Halil, and Mahmud I. appointed Sultan in his stead. For the next six weeks the ex-costermonger held the destiny of the Ottoman Empire in his hands till, on November 25th, he and his chief associates were treacherously assassinated in full Divan by the secret command, and actually in the presence of, the very monarch whom he had drawn from obscurity to set upon the throne.

Book of the Future
First published in 1979, the Usborne Book of the Future is a fondly-remembered book from a time when people dreamed of the future as a place filled with wonder and amazing new technology. After more than 40 years of science fiction focussing on dystopias and doom, it's time to remind readers young and old that, in fact, the Future is STILL a place that holds hope and excitement.
The book is built in three sections. The first explores all kinds of robots, the jobs they will do on land, sea and in space, and where they will get power from.
The second is all about cities of the future, and how people will live, what new buildings they will build, how computers will change the world, and what people will do for fun.
The final section is about the future of travel, from planes, trains and cars on Earth, to Space shuttles and journeys to colonise other planets.
This re-issued book retains the original text and stunning artwork, but now comes with a foreword by renowned BBC Futurologist Tom Cheesewright, who was inspired into his career by the original edition of the book. From outlining the internet to asteroid mines to 3D printers and robot helpers, you'll be surprised by how accurately this book predicted life in the 21st Century.
Long out of print, copies of the original printing of this book fetch three figures on auction sites. Now at last people who remember this book from their childhood can find it again, and share it with the next generation, at normal bookshop prices!
