Psalms For The End Of The World
It's 1962 and physics student Grace Pulansky believes she has met the man of her dreams, Robert Jones, while serving up slices of pecan pie at the local diner. But then the FBI shows up, with their fedoras and off-the-rack business suits, and accuses him of being a bomb-planting mass-murderer.
Finding herself on the run with Jones across America's Southwest, the discoveries awaiting Gracie will undermine everything she knows about the universe. Her story will reveal how scores of lives - an identity-swapping rock star, a mourning lover in ancient China, Nazi hunters in pursuit of a terrible secret, a crazed artist in pre-revolutionary France, an astronaut struggling with a turbulent interplanetary future, and many more - are interconnected across space and time by love, grief, and quantum entanglement.
Spanning continents, centuries, and dimensions, this exquisitely crafted and madly inventive novel - a triple-disk, concept-album of a book - is a profound yet propulsive enquiry into the nature of reality - the perfect immersive read for fans of David Mitchell, Emily St. John Mandel, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood.

The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men
Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Do numbers truly exist? What sort of reality do formulas describe?
The complexity of mathematics - its abstract rules and obscure symbols - can seem very distant from the everyday. There are those things that are real and present, it is supposed, and then there are mathematical concepts: creations of our mind, mysterious tools for those unengaged with the world. Yet, from its most remote history and deepest purpose, mathematics has served not just as a way to understand and order, but also as a foundation for the reality it describes.
In this elegant book, mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini offers a brief cultural and intellectual history of mathematics, ranging widely from the paradoxes of ancient Greece to the sacred altars of India, from Mesopotamian calculus to our own contemporary obsession with algorithms.
Masterful and illuminating, The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men transforms our understanding of mathematical thinking, showing that it is inextricably linked with the philosophical and the religious as well as the mundane - and, indeed, with our own very human experience of the universe.

The Elusive Samurai 2
In war-torn medieval Japan, a young samurai lord struggles to retake his throne, but not by fighting. Hojo Tokiyuki will reclaim his birthright by running away!
In medieval Japan, eight-year-old Hojo Tokiyuki is the heir to the Kamakura shogunate. But the Hojo clan is in decline, and Tokiyuki's peaceful days of playing hide-and-seek with his teachers come to an abrupt end when his clan is betrayed from within. Now the lone survivor of his family and a fugitive, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to take it back, he'll have to do what he does best-run away!
Now in hiding in Suwa under the protection of Yorishige, Tokiyuki takes on a cover identity-Chojumaru, an apprentice of Suwa Grand Shrine. When Ogasawara Sadamune, the governor of Shinano and vassal of Takauji the usurper, shows up to attend a sporting event at the shrine, he's not just looking to win-if Sadamune finds any Hojo refugees, he'll have free rein to take over Suwa completely! Thinking the best way to hide Tokiyuki is in plain sight, Yorishige sends him onto the field to take on Sadamune...

Kůň. Láska i závislost
Proč je kůň pro holky vášní na celý život? Juli Zeh – jedna z nejznámějších současných německých spisovatelek, vyznamenaná mnoha literárními cenami a hojně překládaná také do češtiny, – v této knize přináší trochu jiný pohled na podstatu jezdeckého sportu. Umění vcítit se do koňské duše otevírá cestu k oboustrannému souznění koně a jeho jezdkyně. Autorka na mnoha osobních příbězích o zkušenostech s problémovými koni ukazuje, jak láskyplná péče a výcvik s respektem ke koňské duši vytvářejí prostor pro budování vztahu, který přetrval staletí, a také dnes je základem úspěšné komunikace s jezdeckým koněm. Na vášeň pro jezdectví se tak můžete podívat z velmi zajímavé perspektivy a nahlédnout do duševního života koně i jezdce. Poznáte, co člověka a koně spojuje a rozděluje, jak si lze získat důvěru koní a naučit se rozumět jejich řeči, aby jezdectví bylo štěstím pro obě strany.
