The Obstacle is the Way
Profile Books:
We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better.
If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity.
The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.
The Graham Effect
The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things.
Fine - a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude .
. . and sexy as hell.
But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts.
To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.
The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.
Daisy Jones a The Six
Fascinujúci román o sláve, láske, hudbe a o tom, čo sa stane, keď sa šťastie pominie a zhasnú reflektory. Daisy Jones & The Six je príbeh raketového vzostupu rockovej kapely, ktorej hudba charakterizovala jednu éru a ktorej náhly rozpad vyvolal množstvo nezodpovedaných otázok. Pripravte sa na bláznivý, nezabudnuteľný výlet do Los Angeles 70. rokov, sex, drogy a rock and roll!
Len čo sa úspešná rocková kapela The Six spojila so začínajúcou speváčkou Daisy Jonesovou, vypuklo hotové šialenstvo. Ich piesne ovládli hitparády, ich albumy zneli z každého gramofónu, ich koncerty po celej krajine boli beznádejne vypredané. A potom, 12. júla 1979, sa z ničoho nič rozpadli.
Nikto netušil prečo. Až doteraz.
Ich vzťahy boli divoké rovnako ako ich hudba – boli priateľmi, milencami, bratmi aj rivalmi. Sami neverili tomu, aké mali šťastie, kým oň neprišli. Táto kniha zachytáva príbeh ich začiatkov i búrlivých nocí, ale každý z nich si pravdu pamätá trochu inak. Jediné, čo všetci vedia s istotou, je fakt, že od chvíle, keď Daisy Jones bosá vystúpila na pódium v klube Whisky, kapela sa navždy zmenila. Pri tvorbe hudby totiž nikdy nejde iba o hudbu. A niekedy môže byť veľmi ťažké určiť, kde sa končí melódia a začínajú sa city.

The alchemist
This text is a magical fable about learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along life's path and, above all, following your dreams. The book tells the story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who dreams of travelling the world in search of a worldly treasure as fabulous as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers, and from there into the Egyptian desert, where a fateful encounter with the alchemist awaits him. With a visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, the author hopes that The Alchemist" has the power to inspire nations and change people's lives."
Fix the System, Not the Women
10 years after founding the Everyday Sexism Project, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates connects the dots between the 'isolated incidents' of violence against women and the institutional and systemic misogyny that is so deeply ingrained in our society. Every three days in the UK, women are murdered by their current or former partners. 137 women worldwide are killed by a family member every day.These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a devastatingly clear pattern. But it is a pattern we are so used to seeing that we simply don't notice it anymore.These incidents are the product of a society in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that it has simply become part of our daily lives. This book will lay these patterns bare for everyone to see. Joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.In Isolated Incidents, Laura puts forward her own bold and ambitious solution for combating misogyny and violence against women - one that includes structural change and tackles institutionalised prejudice. Enough is enough.
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Pink Floyd - A Foot In The Door: The Best Of 2LP
KDO: Pink Floyd jsou nepochybně jednou z nejzásadnějších skupin hudební historie. Jejich experimentální rocková muzika ovlivnila miliony posluchačů a inspirovala několik generací hudebníků. Vždy je zdobil progresivní přístup při hledání nových možností, kladli důraz na koncepční propojení zvuku s obrazem. Měli jedinečné nápady a pořádali originální výpravné koncerty. Od roku 1964, kdy vznikli, natočili čtrnáct studiových alb. Těžko hledat slavnější art-rockovou skupinu!
CO: První vydání na vinylu! Kompilační album A Foot In The Door vyšlo původně v roce 2011 na CD a obsahuje nejznámější skladby skupiny z období 1967 - 1994 včetně Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, See Emily Play nebo High Hopes. Pro účely vydání na vinylu byly nahrávky znovu zremasterovány, na zvuk dohlíželi James Guthrie, Joel Plante a také Bernie Grundman. Design alba vznikal pod dohledem kreativní ředitelky Aubrey Powell z Hipgnosis a Petera Curzona. Obal obsahuje alternativní verze fotografií, jež byly použity na CD. Oba vinyly jsou pochopitelně 180g.

Tales from the Cafe: Before the Coffee Gets Cold
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time . . .
From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes Tales from the Cafe, a story of four new customers each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer.
Among some faces that will be familiar to readers of Toshikazu Kawaguchi's previous novel, we will be introduced to:
The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago
The son who was unable to attend his own mother's funeral
The man who travelled to see the girl who he could not marry
The old detective who never gave his wife that gift . . .
This beautiful, simple tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past, in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?

Lacná kniha Cesta do středu/The Way to the Centre (-70%)
První rozsáhlejší monografie vynikajícího současného fotografa střední generace, která představuje dílo jeho dvacetileté umělecké praxe. Výjimečný fotograf střední generace Miro Švolík si v rámci bilance své tvorby zkompletoval fotografický archiv a zrodila se myšlenka vytvořit česko—anglickou monografii, která by ukázala všechny vývojové fáze jeho tvorby. Na rozdíl od převažující většiny fotografických monografií představuje tato kniha v rámci 77 černobílých fotografií ucelený příběh, přestože autor procházel různými experimenty ve fotografii — od stylizovaných plošných fotografických obrazců snímaných z ptačí perspektivy přes fotomontáže, kdy fotografie je vytvořena z více negativů, až po fotografické koláže. I když jsou fotografie Miro Švolíka navýsost umělecké, jsou natolik rozverné a hravé, že kniha je kouzelným výletem do světa neobyčejné, ale všeobecně srozumitelné fantazie.

The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

Exploited, The - Fuck The System (Clear/Red) 2LP
The Exploited je škótska punk rocková skupina z Edinburghu, ktorú v roku 1978 založili Stevie Ross a Terry Buchan, pričom Buchan čoskoro nahradil jeho brat Wattie Buchan. V marci 1981 podpísali zmluvu s Secret Records a v tom roku boli vydané ich debutové EP Army Life a debutový album Punks Not Dead. Kapela si v 80. rokoch udržala veľký kult medzi hardcore robotníckym punkovým a skinheadským publikom. Pôvodne pouličná punková kapela, The Exploited sa nakoniec po vydaní albumu Death Before Dishonor v roku 1987 stala crossover thrashovou kapelou.
Fuck the System je ôsmy štúdiový album, ktorý vyšiel 17. februára 2003 prostredníctvom Dream Catcher Records vo Veľkej Británii a Spitfire Records v USA. Nahrávanie prebiehalo v Chapel Studios v Lincolnshire v Anglicku.[4] O produkciu sa postarali Russ Russell a Simon Efemey.
