Dějiny Anglie - Základy
Dějiny Anglie: Základy zahrnují období od pravěku až po smrt prvního Tudorovce na anglickém trůně Jindřicha VII. a končí bezprostředně předtím, než se vlády ujal jeho mnohem slavnější syn Jindřich VIII. Dočteme se v něm o záhadném megalitickém Stonehengi, Keltech, dobytí země Římany a působení jejich civilizace, dvojím přijetí křesťanství, příchodu Anglosasů a jejich zatlačování původních keltských obyvatel na západní a severní okraj ostrova, vzniku soupeřících anglosaských států, jejich sjednocování, nájezdech Vikingů a jejich usazování v zemi, sjednocování země a přejímání nejvyšší dobové kultury z evropského kontinentu, bojích s Dány, normanském záboru v nejvýznamnějším roce anglických dějin 1066, ztrátě francouzských území, feudálním zřízení, anglickém právu a gotické kultuře, Magně chartě a vzniku parlamentu, stoleté válce s Francií, která začala ve 14. století, morové černé smrti, válkách růží a nastolení tudorovské dynastie, která vnitřně rozdělenou zemi znovu sjednotila, a tím vytvořila předpoklady k pozdějšímu velmocenskému vzestupu země.
Do dějové linie autor vsouvá faktografické kapitoly líčící zakládání klášterů, zemědělský život venkova, rozvoj měst, obchod, vojenství a nejdůležitější stránky každodenního života středověkých lidí, například oblékání a móda, stravování či léčení chorob. Nechybějí ani slavné historické legendy a anekdotické historky, což nesmírně přispívá k čtivosti práce, která se celá důsledně opírá o historické prameny a neustále zdůrazňuje to nejdůležitější – vzájemnou souvislost všeho se vším.
K čtivosti přispívá názornost líčení i řada historických legend a anekdotických historek zařazených do náležitých souvislostí a především autorův spár, který z knihy dělá něco jako „Dějiny Anglie podle Petera Ackroyda“.

Only Whats Necessary
The Eisner Award-nominated tribute to Charles M. Schulz-newly repackaged for the 70th anniversary of Peanuts Charles M. Schulz believed that the key to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in only what's necessary.
For 50 years, he wrote and illustrated Peanuts, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world. Renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.
Only What's Necessary reproduces the best of the Peanuts newspaper strip, all shot from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear, and features exclusive, rare, and unpublished original art and developmental work-much of which has never been seen before.

Moderní američtí snipeři
Lidé si většinou představují odstřelovače jako střelce skryté někde ve městě, kteří rozsévají smrt na velkou vzdálenost. To je však velmi nepřesné. Odstřelovači ve speciálních operacích jsou muži s mnoha schopnostmi, kteří dokážou zvrátit průběh bitev, a to i tehdy, když vůbec nestřílejí. Snipeři hrají velkou roli v bojích s terorismem, během kterých si vysloužili Medaile cti, Námořní kříže a jiná vyznamenání. Jsou těmi nejzkušenějšími bojovníky na bojišti a často jsou těmi nejlepšími příslušníky úderných jednotek, kteří se celé roky účastnili razií. Jsou to muži provádějící operace v malých týmech, které pronikají za hranice, anebo se maskují jako domorodci a vedou velmi riskantní průzkumy a akce, kdy jsou zcela sami v nepřátelském prostředí. Kniha Chrise Martina přináší zasvěcený pohled na ty nejslavnější odstřelovače amerických dějin, o nichž hovoří jejich přátelé a kolegové, kteří je dobře znali. Jde například o: -„Legendu“ – Chrise Kylea, velitele Týmu 3 SEAL a nejúspěšnějšího odstřelovače amerických dějin, -„Žence“ – Nicka Irvinga, prvního Američana černé pleti, který sloužil jako sniper v 3. praporu Rangers a zaznamenal 33 potvrzených zásahů, -Roberta Horrigana, odstřelovače Delty, který hrál klíčovou roli při operaci Anaconda, -Dona Hollenbaugha, operátora Delty, který si vysloužil vyznamenání Distinguished Service Cross, když byl přidělen k četě námořní pěchoty během první bitvy o Fallúdžu, -a mnohé další. „Čtenáři (…) budou chtít vědět, zda to, co se píše v této knize, je skutečně pravda. Překonává tradiční stereotypy o sniperech jako o smrtících bojovnících, kteří jsou ukryti daleko od svých terčů, a ukazuje je jako zkušené, často vyznamenávané muže provádějící riskantní operace.“ (Pittsburgh Tribune Review) „Pozoruhodný pohled na utajované složky amerických ozbrojených sil.“ (The Gazette) „Fascinující pohled na současný výcvik a bojové prostředí, s nímž jsou konfrontováni současní vojenští ostrostřelci.“ (New York Daily News) „Tato kniha je podána ve strhujícím tempu. Obsahuje spoustu informací od technologických aspektů po pikantní detaily a jednotlivé příběhy, proložené vojenským žargonem, vám ji nedovolí odložit. Jde o úžasný náhled do světa elitních bojovníků.“ (San Francisco Book Review) „Odstřelovači ve speciálních operacích jsou odpovědní za ‚neuvěřitelně velký podíl na globálním boji s terorismem‘ a autor z časopisu SOFREP se pokouší vylíčit příběhy hvězd speciálních sil.“ (Military Times) „To si musí přečíst každý, kdo chce rozumět dějinám odstřelovačů, jednotlivým sniperským akcím a celkovému vlivu a efektům odstřelovačů v boji.“ (Midwest Book Review) Novinář CHRIS MARTIN se od konce 90. let věnuje motocyklovému sportu. Píše pro časopis SOFREP a je autorem knih „Shaping the World From the Shadows: The (Open) Secret History of Delta Force, Post-9/11“ a „Beyond Neptune Spear: The (Open) Secret History of SEAL Team Six, Post-9/11“.

Sous Vide : Better Home Cooking
Just as Hugh Acheson brought a chef's mind to the slow cooker in The Chef and the Slow Cooker, so he brings a home cook's perspective to sous vide, with 90 recipes that demystify the technology for readers and unlock all of its potential. NAMED ONE OF FALL'S BEST COOKBOOKS BY FOOD & WINE Whether he's working with fire and a pan, your grandpa's slow cooker, or a cutting-edge sous vide setup, Hugh Acheson wants to make your cooking life easier, more fun, and more delicious. And while cooking sous vide--a method where food is sealed in plastic bags or glass jars, then cooked in a precise, temperature-controlled water bath--used to be for chefs in high-end restaurants, Hugh is here to help home cooks bring this rather friendly piece of technology into their kitchens. The beauty of sous vide is its ease and consistency--it can cook a steak medium-rare, or a piece of fish to tender, just-doneness every single time . . . and hold it there until you're ready to eat, whether dinner is in ten minutes or eight hours away. But to unlock the method's creative secrets, Hugh shows you how to get the best sear on that steak after it comes out of the bath, demonstrates which dishes play best with extra-long, extra-slow cooking, and opens up the whole world of vegetables to a technology most known for cooking meat and fish. Praise for Sous Vide "High-end cooking comes to the home kitchen in this fun, clear approach to a gourmet technique. . . . [Hugh] Acheson writes with such charm that he can make warm water interesting."--Publishers Weekly

Lacná kniha A Promised Land (-90%)
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.
Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Built on Bones
Imagine you are a hunter-gatherer some 15,000 years ago. You've got a choice - carry on foraging, or plant a few seeds and move to one of those new-fangled settlements down the valley. What you won't know is that urban life is short and riddled with dozens of new diseases; your children will be shorter and sicklier than you are, they'll be plagued with gum disease, and stand a decent chance of a violent death at the point of a spear.
Why would anyone choose this? This is one of the many intriguing questions tackled by Brenna Hassett in Built on Bones. Using research on skeletal remains from around the world, this book explores the history of humanity's experiment with the metropolis, and looks at why our ancestors chose city life, and why they have largely stuck to it. It explains the diseases, the deaths and the many other misadventures that we have unwittingly unleashed upon ourselves throughout the metropolitan past, and as the world becomes increasingly urbanised, what we can look forward to in the future.
Telling the tale of shifts in human growth and health that have occurred as we transitioned from a mobile to a largely settled species. Built on Bones offers an accessible insight into a critical but relatively unheralded aspect of the human story: our recent evolution.
