Ako Putin stratil Ukrajinu
Niekoľko týždňov po tom, ako na Ukrajine vypukla najprv politická kríza, po ktorej nasledovala revolúcia na Majdane, a po tom, ako Rusi anektovali Krym, sadol do auta a prešiel takmer celú Ukrajinu. Róbert Ondrejcsák tam už predtým chodil dlhé roky. Počas roka 2014 sa však krajina menila rýchlo pred jeho očami. Vtedy pochopil, že Putin Ukrajinu definitívne stratil. Zrejme to začal chápať aj Putin a pre jeho vysnívanú veľkoruskú ríšu to nebolo akceptovateľné. Anexia Krymu nestačila, invázia na Donbase nepomohla, a preto vo februári 2022 spustil totálnu vojnu proti Ukrajine a Ukrajincom. O tom je táto kniha.
„Píšem ju preto, aby som pomohol pochopiť najdôležitejšiu udalosť v medzinárodných vzťahoch za života našej generácie, ktorá ovplyvní aj životy našich detí. Táto vojna totiž nie je len o Ukrajine a Rusku, ale aj o Slovensku, o strednej Európe a o budúcnosti celej Európy. Je najdôležitejšou otázkou pre bezpečnostnú politiku a medzinárodné vzťahy, lebo nejde len o bezpečnosť, ale aj o to, koľko budeme platiť za armádu o päť či desať rokov, koľko nám ostane na nemocnice, školy či diaľnice. A to sa týka každého z nás. Niektorí si to priznajú, niektorí to ignorujú, ale realitu neoklameme – je to aj naša vojna, lebo jej výsledok určí našu budúcnosť,” píše Ondrejcsák v úvode.
Je jedno, či ju čítate koncom roka 2023 alebo, povedzme, v roku 2028. Stáročné tradície, ideologické, historické a geopolitické základy sa nemenia, alebo sa menia len veľmi, veľmi pomaly. Musíme ich spoznať, naučiť sa s nimi žiť a najmä reagovať na ne. A aby sme vedeli primerane reagovať, musíme vedieť, s čím máme do činenia.
Róbert Ondrejcsák sa zaoberá medzinárodnými vzťahmi a bezpečnostnou politikou takmer tri desaťročia. Vyštudoval politológiu a históriu, má doktorát z medzinárodných vzťahov. Pôsobí ako veľvyslanec Slovenskej republiky v Londýne. Bol štátnym tajomníkom ministerstva obrany v rokoch 2010 - 2012 a opäť v rokoch 2016 - 2020. Okrem pôsobenia na ministerstve zahraničných vecí a obrany pracoval v odborných zahraničnopolitických a bezpečnostných think-tankoch, je autorom mnohých odborných publikácií a kníh, prednášal na univerzitách na Slovensku aj v zahraničí. Je nositeľom vysokého nemeckého štátneho vyznamenania za podporu európskej a transatlantickej spolupráce. Je presvedčeným zástancom európskeho a atlantického ukotvenia Slovenska, ako aj podporovateľom demokracie, slobody a ľudských práv.

Metlobal v priebehu vekov 2. vydanie
Ak ste si niekedy kládli otázku, kde sa vzala ohnivá strela alebo prečo majú Wigtownskí tuláci na habitoch sekáčik na mäso, musíte si prečítať Metlobal v priebehu vekov.
Výťažok z predaja tejto knihy pôjde na konto nadácií Comic Relief a Lumos, ktoré použijú peniaze na zlepšenie životných podmienok tých najchudobnejších – táto úloha je ešte dôležitejšia a úžasnejšia ako výkon Rodericka Plumptona, ktorý v roku 1921 chytil ohnivú strelu za tri a pol sekundy.

How to Love a Jamaican
'In this thrilling debut collection Alexia Arthurs is all too easy to love.' - Zadie Smith
Tenderness and cruelty, loyalty and betrayal, ambition and regret - these are the tensions at the heart of Alexia Arthurs' debut book about Jamaican immigrants and their families back home. Some stories ask big questions about the things that define a person, others explode small moments of deep significance and lasting effect. Sweeping from close-knit island communities to the streets of New York City, How to Love a Jamaican offers a portrait of a nation, a people, and a way of life.
Vibrant, lyrical and intimate, this collection of eleven short stories shows Alexia Arthurs to be one of the most dynamic and exciting young authors writing today. It includes the story `Bad Behavior', for which she won the Paris Review's Plimpton Prize.

I Want You To Know We’re Still Here
A moving and powerful inter-generational memoir about story and memory.
Mine is a family of readers and writers. Our house is filled with books. There are contemporary design books on the coffee table in the living room, legal books in my husband's home office, and piles of children's books for when my grandchildren visit. However, the side table next to my bed is piled with books about the Holocaust. Framed maps of shtetls line my office walls and pictures of relatives killed in the Holocaust are displayed on our family gallery walls.
Sometimes I feel like I exist across two polarized realities, experiencing great fulfillment from family, friends, and a meaningful career, and, at the same time, finding the joy of my life tempered by its shadows. In the darker corners of my mind live ghosts and demons who visit me from the shtetls in Ukraine where my family came from. Some of the details that make these visions so vivid are imagined because I grew up in a family where memories were too terrible to speak of.
This is the true story of four generations who have been dealing with the Holocaust and its aftermath. We are four generations, survivors and survivors of survivors, storytellers and memory keepers. And we're still here.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived as an out-and-out extrovert for one year? Jessica Pan is about to find out...
*
When she found herself jobless and friendless, sitting in the familiar Jess-shaped crease on her sofa, she couldn't help but wonder what life might have looked like if she had been a little more open to new experiences and new people, a little less attached to going home instead of going to the pub.
So, she made a vow: to push herself to live the life of an extrovert for a year. She wrote a list: improv, a solo holiday and... talking to strangers on the tube. She regretted it instantly.
Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come follows Jess's hilarious and painful year of misadventures in extroverting, reporting back from the frontlines for all the introverts out there.
But is life actually better or easier for the extroverts? Or is it the nightmare Jess always thought it would be?

Brief Answers to the Big Questions
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe's biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work. This limited edition features the 'Big Questions Puzzle' devised by Josh Kirklin, a PhD student in Stephen Hawking's department at the University of Cambridge, and is inspired by the ten big questions in the book:
Is there a God?
How did it all begin?
Is there other intelligent life in the universe?
Can we predict the future?
What is inside a black hole?
Is time travel possible?
Will we survive on Earth?
Should we colonise space?
Will artificial intelligence outsmart us?
How do we shape the future?
Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet.
And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth - from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence - Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind.
Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.

Homage to Humanity
Acclaimed British photographer Jimmy Nelson presents his latest collection of 400 evocative photographs revealing an inclusive look at the people and cultures of over thirty iconic tribes from around the world. From the Himalayas with the Laylap in Bhutan to the last hidden outposts of Africa with the Mundari in isolated South Sudan, these tribal cultures, many which have long been hidden from the world's eyes, are documented with an intimacy and knowledge that only Nelson can conjure. This new assemblage of voyages is accompanied by insightful, engaging interviews with tribe leaders, infographics on the locations and cultures of each destination, and a new mobile application that allows readers to view; film material, behind the scenes video, storytelling, and interviews from all the journeys--inviting readers on a journey to the remotest places on earth. Before They Pass Away II celebrates each tribe's distinct aesthetic cultural heritage and is a visual document, perhaps even the last record, that reminds us and future generations of the beauty and harmony of these tribes and the purity of their way of life. This unique volume--truly an invaluable time capsule of the last surviving tribes--is an essential for travel and photography enthusiasts. Nelson's large-plate field camera captures every minute detail, vivid colour, and dramatic light to produce awe-inspiring portraits of tribal members: from head-on shots, to visual narratives documenting quotidian life, rituals, and rites of passage, and striking pictures of marvellous and sometimes harsh landscapes.
