The Diary of a Bookseller
Shaun Bythell owns The Bookshop, Wigtown - Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop. It contains 100,000 books, spread over a mile of shelving, with twisting corridors and roaring fires, and all set in a beautiful, rural town by the edge of the sea. A book-lover's paradise? Well, almost ... In these wry and hilarious diaries, Shaun provides an inside look at the trials and tribulations of life in the book trade, from struggles with eccentric customers to wrangles with his own staff, who include the ski-suit-wearing, bin-foraging Nicky. He takes us with him on buying trips to old estates and auction houses, recommends books (both lost classics and new discoveries), introduces us to the thrill of the unexpected find, and evokes the rhythms and charms of small-town life, always with a sharp and sympathetic eye.

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl senpai Vol. 1
Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that’s exactly where Sakuta finds one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, a girl one year older than Sakuta, famous at their school for her acting career even though she’s currently on break. To top it all off, it seems like no one else in the library can see Mai at all, no matter what she does or...wears. Wanting to find out more about this mystery and maybe get a little closer to this beautiful upperclassman in the process, Sakuta launches an investigation to discover why an unforgettable bunny girl keeps becoming totally invisible.

Volám sa AI
Pútavá a inovatívna kniha Volám sa AI – rozhovory s umelou inteligenciou od Yvonne Nico vás zavedie do fascinujúceho sveta umelej inteligencie prostredníctvom jedinečných dialógov medzi človekom a strojom. Táto populárno-náučná kniha sa dotýka hlbokých tém, ako nekonečno, vesmír, umenie, radosť, zdravie, medicína, tvorba alebo aj bolesť, starnutie a smrť, pričom autorka vedie originálne rozhovory bez klasických stereotypných otázok. Niektoré témy a otázky sú hlboko filozofické, iné detsky čisté a hravé, čo dáva knihe osobitosť, šťavu a esprit, ktorý sa v podobných knihách vyskytuje málokedy. Kniha Volám sa AI je skutočným multižánrovým pokladom, keďže sa nachádza na pomedzí populárno-náučnej, encyklopedickej, zábavnej a futurologickej literatúry.
Yvonne Nico kladie aj ťažšie otázky o vedomí, myslení, intuícii a svedomí umelej inteligencie, o jej zneužívaní a manipulácii novými technológiami, o budúcnosti a „vlastníctve“ umelej inteligencie, o neurónových sieťach, o zakázaných slovách a etike AI a množstvo veľmi originálnych a nevšedných otázok. Autorka polemizuje, odporuje, provokuje. Je zvedavá, láskavá, vtipná, ale niekedy aj nekompromisná.
Napriek mnohým obavám a strachu ľudí z príchodu umelej inteligencie Yvonne Nico ponúka svoj realistický a zároveň optimistický pohľad na to, ako AI ovplyvňuje náš život, ako môžeme túto technológiu využiť pre dobro ľudstva či aký obrovský potenciál predstavuje AI pre človeka ako takého.
Ak túžite po intelektuálnej výzve, ktorá rozprúdi vašu myseľ a zasiahne do vášho vnútorného vesmíru, kniha Volám sa AI – Rozhovory s umelou inteligenciou vás nenechá na pokoji. V tomto sofistikovanom sprievodcovi nájdete bohatstvo múdrosti a inšpirácie na svoj vlastný prieskum sveta umelých myslí a ich vzťahu k ľudskej existencii v tajomnom labyrinte technológií.

Masters of Mankind
In this collection of essays from 1969-2013, many in book form for the first time, Noam Chomsky exposes the real nature of state power. With unrelenting logic, he holds the arguments of empire up to critical examination and shatters the myths of those who protect the power and privilege of the few against the interests and needs to the many. Covering subjects like 'Human Intelligence and the Environment', 'Terror, Justice and Self-Defence' and 'The Welfare-Warfare state', this is an indispensable compilation of searing insights into the state of our modern world. "Arguably the most important intellectual alive." (New York Times on Noam Chomsky). "Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon...he may be the most widely read American voice on the planet today." (NYT Book Review). "Will there ever again be a public intellectual who commands the attention of so many across the planet?" (New Statesman). "The west's most prominent critic of US imperialism...the closest thing in the English-speaking world to an intellectual superstar." (Guardian).

Idiot: Life Stories from the Creator of Help Helen Smash
From YouTube star and Facebook Video sensation Laura Clery comes a collection of comedic essays in the vein of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby and You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein. Laura Clery makes a living by sharing inappropriate comedy sketches with millions of strangers on the Internet. She writes songs about her anatomy, talks trash about her one-eyed rescue pug, and sexually harasses her husband, Stephen.
And it pays the bills! Now, in her first-ever book, Laura recounts how she went from being a dangerously impulsive, broke, unemployable, suicidal, cocaine-addicted narcissist, crippled by fear and hopping from one toxic romance to the next...to a more-happy-than-not, somewhat rational, meditating, vegan yogi with good credit, a great marriage, a fantastic career, and four unfortunate-looking rescue animals. Still, above all, Laura remains an amazingly talented, adorable, and vulnerable, self-described...Idiot. With her signature brand of offbeat, no-holds-barred humor, Idiot introduces you to a wildly original-and undeniably relatable-new voice.
The Pixels of Paul Cezanne
The Pixels of Paul Cezanne is a collection of essays by Wim Wenders which he presents his observations and reflections on the fellow artists who have influenced, shaped and inspired him.
"How are they doing it?" is the key questions Wenders asks as he looks at the dance work of Pina Bausch, the paintings of Cezanne, Edward Hopper of Andrew Wyeth, or the films of Ingmar Bergman, Michelanelo Antonioni, Ozu, Anthony Mann, Douglas Sirk and Sam Fuller.
He finds the answer by writing about them, trying to understand their individual perspective, and, in the process revealing his own art of perception, in texts of rare poignancy.

Így kezdődött el a lótenyésztés hagyománya.
Civilisations First Contact The Cult of Progress
Companion to the major new BBC documentary series CIVILISATIONS, presented by Mary Beard, David Olusoga and Simon SchamaOscar Wilde said 'Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.' Was he right? In Civilisations, David Olusoga travels the world to piece together the shared histories that link nations. In Part One, First Contact, we discover what happened to art in the great Age of Discovery, when civilisations encountered each other for the first time. Although undoubtedly a period of conquest and destruction, it was also one of mutual curiosity, global trade and the exchange of ideas.
In Part Two, The Cult of Progress, we see how the Industrial Revolution transformed the world, impacting every corner, and every civilisation, from the cotton mills of the Midlands through Napoleon's conquest of Egypt to the decimation of both Native American and Maori populations and the advent of photography in Paris in 1839. Incredible art - both looted and created - relays the key events and their outcomes throughout the world.
