A Brief History of Timekeeping
Press the snooze button on your alarm once too often and you soon remember the importance of good timekeeping. That need to tell the time connects you to over five thousand years of human history, from the first solstice markers at Newgrange to quartz crystal oscillating in your watch today. Science underpins time: measuring the movement of Sun, Earth and Moon, and unlocking the mysteries of quantum mechanics and relativity theory - the key to ultra-precise atomic clocks.
Yet time is also socially decided: the Gregorian calendar we use today came out of fraught politics, while the ancient Maya used sophisticated astronomical observations to produce a calendar system unlike any other. In his quirky and accessible style, Chad Orzel reveals the wondrous physics that makes time something we can set, measure and know.

Can You Get Rainbows in Space?
Why is blood red? Why are carrots orange? Who invented the lightbulb? Why is the world 'going green'? Is the sky really blue? And what is ultraviolet light?
You'll discover the answers to these questions - and many more - in this incredible collection of scientific facts about colour. We'll talk about light (the most important thing) and waves (not the kind you see at the beach - though you will learn why the sea looks blue!). You'll find out how some animals are able to glow in the dark and how others change their colours to hide from predators. Keep reading to discover why leaves change colour in the autumn, why your veins look blue but your blood is red, and why the language we use shapes the colours we see...
And you'll learn exactly how to make a rainbow - in space.

A Short History of Russia
Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone's 'other'. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries.
In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world's most complex nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.

Lacná kniha Lector in fabula (-50%)
Kniha Umberta Eca (1932) Lector in fabula vyšla poprvé italsky v roce 1979. Pochází z Ecova vědecky nejproduktivnějšího období, kdy rozvíjí jak obecnou sémiotiku, tak i problematiku interpretace textu a s ní souvisící otázku rolí, kompetencí a ohraničení čtenářovy aktivity v rámci rozumění textu. Zatímco v předchozí stěžejní práci, Teorii sémiotiky (1975), se pokusil vytvořit teoreticko-analytický model obecného fungování sémiotiky jakožto nauky o významu, v knize Lector in fabula se věnuje domýšlení sémiotických pravidel na konkrétních, především literárních textech. Jde tedy o knihu „praktičtější“, byť psanou opět s ambicí dobrat se co nejuniverzálnějších řešení. Proto se tato kniha stala nejen repertoárem podnětů, jež byly v dalších desetiletích literární vědou domýšleny a rozvíjeny, ale stala se – a dodnes je – i klíčovým textem pro výuku interpretace textu.

Pustým městem / In a Deserted City
Zcela neopakovatelné, uchvacující, krásné i děsivé. Snad takto lze pár slovy popsat zážitek z pusté Prahy během karantény, která postihla všechna města a místa nejen v naší zemi.
Nezažil to nikdo z naší generace, ani z generace našich rodičů a prarodičů. Snad to mine naše děti a my jim to budeme moci zprostředkovat jen jako vzpomínku, a to díky této knize zcela unikátních černobílých fotografií.
Pavel Hroch v nich zachytil naši metropoli, když na pár chvil byla jen sama pro sebe a sama sebou. Projděte se spolu s ním prázdnými ulicemi, postůjte na pustých náměstích, prohlédněte si její architektonické skvosty, jindy skryté za clonou všudypřítomného hlučícího davu. Průvodcem vám bude i osobitý text spisovatele Miloše Urbana.

From the pioneers of cinema to the New Hollywood of the 1960s, this volume tells the epic tale of the golden age of American film studios. Featuring previously unpublished or rare interviews with Hollywood greats from Mickey Rooney to Kirk Douglas and from Jane Fonda to Julie Andrews, and including an excerpt from the last interview ever granted by the late Richard Burton, this history offers an insider's perspective of the world's most beloved entertainment traditions. From silent films to the innovations of sound and then color, from the studio systems that shaped Hollywood (nababs, censure, and "starification"), to glamour in all its facets (from set design to the femme fatale), and featuring all of the emblematic genres, professions, and even the studio brands, this book celebrates the vast creative hive at the center of the world's cinematic hub. Rare archival photographs from the set and behind the scenes accompany reproductions of the great movie posters and headshots of screen stars to provide a visual chronology of the evolution of American cinema.

Minority Policies in Central and Eastern Europe in Comparative Perspective
In this collective monograph we have contributions on Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Roma minority, the question of civic and ethnic nationalism, the phenomenon of antisemitism, and on the theoretical and perhaps practical possibility of Christianity being a way to help achieve a greater measure of interethnic and ethnopolitical peace. When we look back at the nine chapters presented in this volume, we observe that there are notable differences between various minority issues and bettween the different countries discussed. But there are also aspects which these countries and their problems share in common. Central and Eastern Europe are known for their long-standing national-minority problems and the historical antagonisms between different nations or national groups. The chapters have highlighted both old and new aspects of the minority problem.

Lacná kniha Vet in a Spin (-70%)
James Herriot, strapped into the cockpit of a Tiger Moth trainer, feels rather out of place, but he hasn't found a new profession and it surely won't be long before the RAF come round to his point of view. James Herriot's sixth volume of unforgettable memoirs sees him dreaming of the day when he can rejoin his wife, Helen, little son, Jimmy, veterinary partner, Siegfried, the eternal student Tristan - and all the old Darrowby crows, both two-legged and four. 'He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious', observes The Daily Telegraph". 'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit' - "The Field". 'It is a pleasure to be in James Herriot's company' - "Observer"."
