The Stranger in the Lifeboat
Adrift in a raft after a terrible shipwreck, ten strangers try to survive while they wait for rescue.
After three days, short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves.
They pull him on board - and the survivor claims he can save them.
But should they put their trust in him?
Will any of them see home again?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Future
Our predictions of the future are a wild fantasy, inextricably linked to our present hopes and fears, biases and ignorance. Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the '60s, which didn't anticipate the sexual revolution or women's liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations.
The best we can do is try to absorb from futurism's checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.
In The Skeptics' Guide To The Future, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Applying their trademark skepticism, they carefully extrapolate upon each scientific development, leaving no stone unturned as they lay out a vision for the future of tomorrow.
Sia - Music: Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture CD
KDO: Sia Kate Isobelle Furler je v hudebním světě známá především jako velmi úspěšná zpěvačka a skladatelka. Narodila se v Austrálii a začínala jako členka acid jazzové kapely Crisp. V roce 1997, kdy se skupina rozpadla, Sia natočila svůj sólový debut OnlySee a přestěhovala se do Londýna, kde našla nové spřízněné duše. Se supinou Zero 7 vydala několik úspěšných desek a dále zkoušela štěstí jako sólistka. Po několika nevydařených pokusech se znovu přestěhovala, tentokrát do New Yorku a uspěla jako skladatelka. Napsala několik světových hitů pro Davida Guettu, Flo Ridu nebo Rihannu a v letech 2014 a 2016 se deskami 1000 Forms Of Fear a This Is Acting prosadila i jako zpěvačka.
CO: Nová deska zpěvačky zároveň funguje jako hudební doprovod k filmu Music. Základní scénář snímku sepsala sama protagonistka už v roce 2007, dotvořit ho do finální podoby jí nyní pomohl spisovatel a ilustrátor Dallas Clayton, jenž se proslavil sérií dětských příběhů Awesome Book. Hlavní role ve filmu ztvárnili Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. a Maddie Ziegler. Hudební produkce jednotlivých skladeb se ujali třeba Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff nebo Jesse Shatkin, v singlovce Hey Boy hostuje hvězda afrického rapu Burna Boy (spolupracoval například s Chrisem Martinem z Coldplay, Lily Allen, Edem Sheeranem a Stormzym, Fall Out Boy, Pop Smokem, Beyoncé, Samem Smithem apod.). Deska je k dispozici na CD či LP.

Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey
Sometimes the facts are even more extraordinary than the fiction...Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story of the beautiful American heiress who lived at Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes' award winning drama Downton Abbey. Glamorous and wealthy, Catherine became the toast of London society when she travelled across the Atlantic in 1920 to marry the Earl of Porchester, or 'Porchy', as he was known. At just 19 Catherine had to learn how to organise and host the lavish banquets and weekend house parties that Porchy so loved. She found herself suddenly in charge of the more than eighty staff working at Highclere Castle, and persuaded her husband to improve their living and working conditions. But things were far from perfect. The demands of running such a large household were greater than Lady Catherine had expected. Her new husband gradually revealed himself to be a scandalous rogue, squandering their money and pursuing silent movie stars across London. When World War Two broke out, there was yet more turbulence, with Highclere transformed into an American airbase, and host to several hundred soldiers, as well as fifty young evacuees from East London. Drawing on rich material from the archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, Lady Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling and alluring world of the real Downton Abbey and its inhabitants.

The Old Testament: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
Eminent biblical scholar Michael D. Coogan offers here a wide-ranging and stimulating exploration of the Old Testament, illuminating its importance as history, literature, and sacred text. Coogan explains the differences between the Bible of Jewish tradition (the Hebrew Bible") and the Old Testament of Christianity, and also examines the different contents of the Bibles used by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Protestants. He looks at the rise of modern biblical scholarship as well as the recovery of ancient Near Eastern literatures and their significance for biblical interpretation. One particularly interesting section examines three principal characters of the Old Testament--Abraham, Deborah, and David--illuminating important themes connected with them, such as Abraham and covenant and David as poet and warrior. Coogan explores the use of invented dialogue and historical fiction in the Old Testament, the presence of mythic elements in apparently historical accounts, and the relationship of ancient Israelite myths to those of their neighbors. The book considers the Old Testament's idea of divine justice, especially in Ecclesiastes and Job, and looks at notions of the afterlife in the ancient Near East and in ancient Israel. Coogan highlights the significance of the history and literature of the Old Testament and describes how non-biblical evidence, such as archaeological data and texts, has placed the Old Testament in a larger and more illuminating context. The book also discusses law and ritual in the Bible as well as the biblical understandings of prophecy. Here then is a marvelous overview of one of the great pillars of Western religion and culture, a book whose significance has endured for thousands of years and which remains vitally important today for Jews, Christians, and Muslims worldwide."

The Janus Point
What is time? Why is the past so different from the present and the future?
This simple question is in fact one of the deepest, most long-standing problems in physics. None of the known laws of the universe can fully explain it. In The Janus Point, Julian Barbour presents a bold new thesis and a possible solution, with radical implications for our understanding of the Big Bang and the nature of time itself.
His argument rests on two vital insights. The first is that the most common explanation for time - entropy - is flawed: firstly, because we have no way of explaining how the concentration of energy that would allow the Big Bang to take place came about, and secondly because none of our understanding of entropy takes into account the fact that the universe is infinitely expanding. In addition, our universe is actually becoming ever more complex and ordered as it expands, not less so. The second is a phenomenon which Barbour labels 'The Janus Point': any system of particles in motion will pass through a single moment of smallest size, never to be repeated.
Combining these two observations, Barbour argues that the universe, and therefore time itself, may not have begun at the Big Bang, but rather at The Janus Point, thus solving the conundrum of entropy.
Monumental in vision and scope, The Janus Point offers a ground-breaking challenge to our understanding of the universe and a brilliant solution of breath-taking elegance and import to this most fundamental of problems.

The Tree and the River
A spectacular time-lapse portrait of humankind - and our impact on the natural world - from a Caldecott Honor-winning master of the wordless form. For his latest feat of visual storytelling, the acclaimed creator of the Journey trilogy invents, in staggering detail, a familiar world layered with imaginary civilizations. Borrowing from multiple cultures and architectural styles to craft astonishing new humanscapes, Aaron Becker tracks the evolution of our species - and its toll on the Earth - through the fates of a lone tree and an enduring river.
River and tree bear silent witness over time as people arrive to harness water, wind, and animals; devise technology and transportation; redirect rivers; and reshape the land. Timely and ultimately hopeful, this wordless epic invites readers to pore over spreads densely packed with visual drama. Fans of Journey, Quest, and Return will leap at a new chance to uncover sophisticated layers of meaning, marvel at intricate details - from holographic billboards to flying machines - and see our precious shared world through fresh eyes.
