Na západ po stopách císařovny Sisi
NESPOUTANÁ AMAZONKA V KOŇSKÉM SEDLE, NEÚNAVNÁ TURISTKA A BÁSNÍŘKA NA BŘEHU MOŘE.
Poznejte nejzamilovanější místa císařovny Sisi na ostrovech Velké Británie a Irska, kde čtyřicetiletá Alžběta zářila coby hvězda honů a bavila se v kruhu svých loveckých přátel. Navštivte Belgii, kam se vypravila poznat snoubenku svého syna korunního prince Rudolfa, a sousední Nizozemsko, na jehož pobřeží skládala básně. Odtud pokračujte do Německa, zejména jeho lázeňských měst, kde se Alžběta léčila se svými chronickými obtížemi. Putování po stopách císařovny zakončíte ve Švýcarsku. Tady na břehu milovaného Ženevského jezera našla smrt rukou anarchisty. Na závěr vás čeká i překvapivé odhalení okolností Alžbětiny vraždy.
Tchyně
Jako samoživitelka měla Asa se svým jediným synem vždy blízký vztah. Všechno se však změní, když si syn najde novou partnerku, která brzy otěhotní. Asa se usilovně snaží najít cestu ke své snaše, ta ovšem její chování považuje za bezohledné. Asa tak čelí bolestivému poznání, že už není nejdůležitější osobou v synově životě, a ocitá se na vedlejší koleji. Hrozí jí, že ztratí své nejbližší a zůstane úplně sama.
To je předehra k napínavému rodinnému dramatu, v němž Moa Herngren svým výjimečným citem pro psychologii mezilidských vztahů rozkrývá příběh o mateřské lásce, vzájemném nepochopení a samotě.
Tchyně je silný příběh o nejužších vztazích, které máme, a o tom, jak těžké může být takové vztahy udržet, jsou-li role, jež jsme považovali za samozřejmé, rozbité a proměněné.

Panceřové automobily Škoda
Okamžitě po vzniku republiky začaly Škodovy závody v Plzni vyrábět bojové vozy pro československou armádu. Plzeňské konstrukční kanceláři se podařilo navrhnout jedinečné projekty pancéřových automobilů a v pozdější době i tanků. U příležitosti stého výročí výroby obrněného automobilu PA-II jsme si dovolili vydat knihu věnovanou vývoji a výrobě pancéřových automobilů strojírnou Škoda v letech 1919 až 1936.
Neznámá z portrétu
Co mají společného Gustav Klimt, americký miliardář a mladá studentka z Texasu? Víc, než by se na první pohled zdálo: všem zasáhl do života portrét neznámé ženy, dílo s historií plnou překvapivých zvratů a otazníků.
Portrét dámy, obraz namalovaný Gustavem Klimtem ve Vídni v roce 1910, zakoupený neznámým sběratelem v roce 1916, o rok později přepracovaný autorem, v roce 1997 ukradený z muzea moderního umění v Piacenze, aby se o dva roky později nepoškozený znovuobjevil v jeho zahradách.
Žádný znalec umění, kurátor ani policejní vyšetřoval dodnes nemá tušení, kdo je ona mladá žena zachycená na portrétu ani jaká tajemství se skrývají za turbulentní historií její podobizny.
Autorka Camille de Peretti mistrně fabuluje životní příběh této ženy i generací jejích potomků, rozepjatý od vídeňských ulic na počátku minulého století, přes Manhattan během ekonomické krize po krachu na newyorské burze v roce 1929, Texas v osmdesátých letech, současný New York, Vídeň i italskou Piacenzu.
Román klenoucí se napříč 20. stoletím vypráví o lásce a zklamání, o nepřekonatelných společenských rozdílech, o americkém snu i o temných tajemstvích minulosti. Autorka barvitě líčí osudy jednotlivých protagonistů, od chudé svobodné matky Marthy ve Vídni za první světové války přes newyorského čističe bot, který by v meziválečném období rád zbohatl na burze, až po zlatou americkou mládež 90. let a současnost. Jednotlivé linie příběhu se postupně propojují, až před očima vyvstane strhující historické drama.
Vychází v překladu Veroniky Láskové.

Toulavé džípy - Poslední dny války v Čechách v roce 1945
Duben a květen 1945: Němečtí nacisté věděli, že již prohráli válku, ale ti nejzuřivější byli stále ochotni bojovat. V té době však již v Bavorsku, Sasku i v Čechách existovaly poměrně rozsáhlé vojensky málo zajištěné oblasti, které by mohly být bez odporu obsazeny. Byl to proto čas bláznivých misí osamělých džípů v „zemi nikoho“, což je i případ kuriózních dobrodružství hrdinů této knihy, kteří se proháněli v malém vozidle, jež je výrazným symbolem konce této války.

The Co-Parenting Method
Separating from our other parent can be one of life's toughest challenges. When we separate with children, trying to navigate how to bring them up together becomes much harder. The separation process may become confrontational; and when children watch their parents fight, or become pawns in that fight, the safe parental bubble they have lived in up to that point bursts.
The Co-Parenting Method, based on the award-winning coaching methodology of The Co-Parent Way™, guides co-parents through their separation in a way that allows them to keep their children safe, whole, and protected. It gives co-parents the skills and knowledge they need to keep a safe parental bubble intact for their children, whatever they may feel about each other.
'Marcie is an excellent advocate for making co-parenting work - she brings the voice of the child, which can often be lost when parents are separating, to the forefront of the discussion.' - Barbara Reeves, Head of Family Law, Mishcon de Reya LLP

Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion
In Nostalgia, historian Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution of nostalgia from seventeenth-century Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and policies).
It is a fascinating, compelling story of a social and political emotion, vulnerable to misuse, and one that reflects the anxieties of the age. It is also a clear-eyed analysis of what we are doing now, how we feel about it and what we might want to change about the world we live in.
The Surrender Experiment
Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to let go of his personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. As Singer takes you on this great experiment and journey into life's perfection, the events that transpire will both challenge your deepest assumptions about life and inspire you to look at your own life in a radically different way.
Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own life journey to enlightenment - from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts - with lessons on how to put aside conflicting beliefs, let go of worries, and transform misdirected desires.
Singer provides a road map to a new way of living not in the moment, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness.

Suder

A dazzling tale of madness, confinement and the need for escape, Suder introduced Percival Everett to the world as a writer already fully capable of conjuring whole lives and worlds on the page.

Walk Me to the Distance
David Larson can never go home.
His parents are dead. His sister and her hippie husband, staunchly anti-war, won't even have the newly returned Vietnam veteran in the house. So Larson takes his chances on the road, travelling west from Georgia until he breaks down in the nowhere town of Slut’s Hole, Wyoming.
There he finds lodging with Chloë Sixbury, a one-legged sexagenarian widow, and her disabled son. Their ersatz family is complete when Larson takes in Butch, a Vietnamese girl abandoned at the highway rest stop where he works, but at the edge of this tableau lingers the unmistakable spectre of violence.
Blending the grotesquerie of the Southern Gothic with the Western's codes of frontier justice, in Walk Me to the Distance Percival Everett renders a vivid and haunting landscape of the American badlands, where cruelty is the lingua franca.

The Rolling Stones All the Songs Expanded Edition
An updated edition of the most comprehensive account of the Rolling Stones' work yet published, with the full story of every recording session, every album, and every single released during their nearly 60 year career.
The Rolling Stones have been recording and touring since 1963, selling more than 200 million records worldwide. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In The Rolling Stones All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of every song the band has released, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the great artists who contributed to their tracks.
Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 760-page hardcover begins with their 1963 eponymous debut album recorded over five days at the Regent Studio in London; through their collaboration with legendary producer Jimmy Miller in the ground-breaking albums from 1968 to 1973; to their later work with Don Was, who has produced every album since Voodoo Lounge. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as how the mobile studio the group pioneered was featured in Deep Purple's classic song "Smoke on the Water" or how Keith Richards used a cassette recording of an acoustic guitar to get the unique riff on "Street Fighting Man."

Homecoming
In this powerful book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reclaiming Virtue shows how we can learn to nurture our inner child and offer ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for.
Are you outwardly successful but inwardly feel like a big kid? Do you aspire to be a loving parent but too often "lose it" in hurtful ways? Do you crave intimacy but sometimes wonder if it's worth the struggle? Are you plagued by constant, vague feelings of anxiety or depression?
If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood-carrying within you a "wounded inner child" who is crying out for attention and healing.
John Bradshaw's step-by-step process of exploring the un?nished business of each developmental stage helps us break away from destructive family rules and roles, freeing ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, inviting us to ?nd new joy and energy in living.
Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, guided meditations, af?rmations, and letter-writing to the inner child. These classic therapies, which were pioneering when introduced, continue to be validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.

A mozgékony időskor
Maradjon fitt és életerős idős korában is - mondják sokan. De mikortól és hogyan kell egy hétköznapokban is jól működő életmódprogramot bevezetni?
A Liebscher-Bracht szerzőpáros által kidolgozott módszer holisztikus és rendkívül gyakorlatias megközelítést kínál arra a kérdésre, hogyan maradhat mozgékony, illetve miként szabadulhat meg az esetleg már kialakult krónikus fájdalomtól. Könyvükben a mozgással, a helyes táplálkozással, a célzott fájdalomterápiával és a relaxációval kapcsolatos tudományos ismereteket konkrét "edzéstervvel" egészítik ki. A test 12 fájdalomterületének mindegyikére kiterjedő, otthon is könnyűszerrel végezhető gyakorlataiknak köszönhetően pedig most ön is visszatekerheti a biológiai óráját, és gondoskodhat arról, hogy még előrehaladott korban is fájdalom nélküli, aktív és örömteli életet élhessen.
A neves táplálkozástudományi orvos, Dr. Petra Bracht férjével, Roland Liebscher-Brachttal közösen dolgozta ki a Liebscher & Bracht-féle fájdalomterápiát. Mára ők Németország legismertebb szerzőpárosa az egészségmegőrzés területén. Több évtized alatt tökéletesített módszerüket tanúsítványt nyújtó képzésük keretében már több mint tízezer szakember (orvos, természetgyógyász, fizio- és manuálterapeuta) végezte el. A hazai egészségügyi irodalomban hiánypótló Artrózis után ez a második magyarul is megjelent kötetük, mindkettő a Partvonal Egészségünkre sorozatának tagja.
