Prebudenie
Neobyčajné spomienky na najmodernejšiu terapiu mozgu, ktorá významne zmenila život a myseľ Johna Eldera Robisona, autora bestselleru v rebríčku New York Times Look Me in the Eye.
Už dávno sa predpokladalo, že ľudia s autizmom sa rodia so zníženou schopnosťou vnímať emócie druhých ľudí, aj keď sami svoje city hlboko prežívajú. Ale čo ak sme sa celý čas mýlili? Čo ak to chýbajúce pochopenie emócií bolo celý čas prítomné, len uzamknuté v mysli a nedostupné? V roku 2007 John Elder Robison napísal medzinárodný bestseller Look Me in the Eye (Pozri sa mi do očí), kde spomínal na to, aké to bolo vyrastať s Aspergerovým syndrómom. V rámci odozvy na túto knihu John dostal neobyčajný návrh: Mal by záujem zúčastniť sa na výskume, ktorý vedú poprední svetoví neurovedci, použijúc novú experimentálnu terapiu známu ako transkraniálna magnetická stimulácia (TMS), aby pochopili podstatu autizmu a mohli naň zaútočiť? Prebudenie prináša nezvyčajný príbeh toho, čo sa stalo potom.
John prežil štyridsať rokov ako spoločenský vydedenec, nevšímavý k emóciám druhých ľudí alebo ich nevedel správne vyhodnotiť, a zrazu bol schopný vnímať u druhých celý rozsah silných citov. Takéto novonájdené poznanie však so sebou prináša nepredvídané problémy a závažné otázky. Pri tomto emocionálnom zemetrasení John zápasí s veľmi reálnou možnosťou, že môže prísť o svoje jedinečné nadanie, a dokonca aj o niektoré najbližšie vzťahy len preto, že sa rozhodol zmenšiť svoje postihnutie. Prebudenie poskytuje fascinujúci, intímny pohľad na to, čo znamená byť iný v neurologickom zmysle a čo sa stane, keď sa vám svet cez noc prevráti hore nohami.
John Elder Robison je všeobecne uznávaný odborník na život s autizmom a autor kníh Look Me in the Eye, Be Different a Raising Cubby, ktoré sa umiestnili v rebríčku najpredávanejších kníh denníka New York Times. Robison externe prednáša o neurodiverzite na College of William & Mary vo Williamsburgu v štáte Virginia a je členom Medziagentúrneho koordinačného výboru pre autizmus, ktorý pre vládu Spojených štátov vytvára strategický plán výskumu poruchy autistického spektra. Robison je milovník strojov a vášnivý fotograf. So svojou rodinou žije v Amherste v štáte Massachusetts. johnrobison.com www.facebook.com/johnelderrobison

Géniové XX. století Kniha třetí
„Člověk má největší strach z nových myšlenek,“ Nicholas Ridley, objevitel léčby šedého zákalu. Přední popularizátor vědy Karel Pacner přiblížil v encyklopedické knize, která je poslední částí monumentální trilogie, českému čtenáři skutečné hybatele dějin, tedy vědce a objevitele a zároveň srozumitelně vyložil samotnou podstatu objevů, mezi něž patří defibrilátor, nanotechnologie, internet, transplantace či gravitony. Bohužel, technologická exploze 20. století byla často konfrontována s tíhou ideologií, které její vývoj mnohdy ovlivňovaly. Paradoxem všech válečných střetů je, že přinášejí technické a vědecké vynálezy – zjevné jako balistické rakety či nenápadné, jako využití odolných plastů v lékařství. I o tom vypráví nová Pacnerova kniha. Spletité příběhy objevů i morální dilemata objevitelů jsou nastíněny poutavě a napínavě. Géniové XX. (a počátku XXI. století v této knize): Vynálezce nejen dialýzy Willem Johan Kolff Konstruktér raket, prvních družic a kosmických lodí Sergej Pavlovič Koroljov Objevitel léčby šedého zákalu Nicholas Harold Lloyd Ridley Autor laseru Charles Hard Townes Objevitel imunologické snášenlivosti Peter Brian Medawar Inspirátor Vannevar Bush, konstruktéři stolních počítačů André Truong Trong Thi, Alan Key, Eda Roberts, Stephen Wozniak, Don Estridge a jejich programátor Bill Gates Navrhovatel termonukleární elektrárny Andrej Dmitrijevič Sacharov Zakladatel pátrání po vyspělých kosmických sousedech Frank Donald Drake Konstruktér umělého kyčle John Charnley Otec počítačové tomografie Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield Otec nanotechnologie Richard Phillips Feynman Inspirátor internetu Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, vynálezci Robert William Taylor, Lawrence Roberts, Paul Baran, Robert Elliot Kahn, Vinton Gray Cerf, Raymond Tomlinson a Timothy Berners-Lee Christiaan Barnard, chirurg, který transplantoval cizí srdce, podle metodiky vypracované Normanem Edwardem Schumwayem Otec laparoskopie Kurt Semm Objevitelé Helicobaktera pyroli Barry Marshall a Robin Warren Auguste, Jacques a Bertrand Piccardovi – konstruktéři stratosférických balonů, podmořských batyskafů a solárního letounu Vynálezce defibrilátoru Michel Mirowski John Craig Ventera a Francis Sellers Collins, kteří vedli souboj o přečtení dědičné informace člověka Objevitelé gravitonů Joseph Weber, Rainer Weiss, Ronald W.

Láska a veda
Imunológ, virológ, začal svoju kariéru v čase, keď tieto disciplíny boli ešte v zárodku. Narodil sa v sekulárnej židovskej rodine v Bratislave, v dobe najväčšieho pogromu v novodobých dejinách. Emigroval do USA so svojou manželkou Maricou v šeťdesiatych rokoch minulého storočia. Už ako mladý vedecký pracovník v Bratislave publikoval v prestížnom časopise Nature a organizoval prvú medzinárodnú konferenciu o interferone. V New Yorku pokračoval vo výskume interferonu a prispel k jeho uvedeniu do lekárskej praxe. Jeho výskum viedol k objavom nových génov a proteínov, ktoré naznačili cestu k novým možnostiam liečby autoimunitných a zápalových ochorení ako reumatoidná artritída, Crohnova choroba či psoriáza. Kniha Láska a veda opisuje cestu k poznaniu, ktorá je mnohokrát dláždená čiastkovými neúspechmi ale najmä potrebou podeliť sa o svoje poznatky a kolektívne rozvíjať povedomie o danom probléme. Priateľstvo, spoločný cieľ a tímová práca sú základom napredovania v súčasnej vede. Ján Vilček a jeho kniha pamätí je toho dôkazom.
Elon Musk
Tesla, SpaceX a hľadanie fantastickej budúcnosti.
Elon Musk je najodvážnejší podnikateľ dneška.
V histórii je len málo priemyselníkov, ktorí by sa mohli vyrovnať obrovskej činorodosti a geniálnym víziám Elona Muska. Je modernou kombináciou Thomasa Edisona, Henryho Forda, Howarda Hughesa a Steva Jobsa. Musk je človek, ktorý stojí za spoločnosťami PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX a SolarCity. Každá z nich vyvolala v americkom biznise a priemysle veľký rozruch. Viac než ktorýkoľvek iný dnešný manažér, zasvätil Musk svoju energiu a vlastný obrovský majetok vylepšovaniu budúcnosti, ktorá je podobne bohatá a vizionárska ako fantázia sci-fi.
Skúsený technologický žurnalista Ashlee Vance ponúka v tomto živom investigatívnom opise bezprecedentný pohľad na pozoruhodný život najsmelšieho podnikateľa v Silicon Valley. Knihu napísal s exkluzívnym prístupom k Muskovi, jeho rodine a priateľom, a sleduje v nej Elonovu cestu od tvrdej výchovy v Južnej Afrike po jeho výstup na vrchol globálneho sveta biznisu. Vance strávil viac ako päťdesiat hodín v rozhovoroch s Muskom a uskutočnil takmer tristo interview, aby priniesol búrlivé príbehy jeho svet meniacich spoločností. Namaľoval portrét zložitého človeka, ktorý obnovil americký priemysel a priniesol nové úrovne inovácií – pričom si cestou získal množstvo nepriateľov.
Elon Musk prišiel do Spojených štátov v roku 1992 ako nesmierne motivovaný imigrant, ktorý sa usiloval o realizáciu svojich najdivokejších snov. Život ako na horskej dráhe priniesol Muskovi veľké sklamania aj obrovské úspechy. Keď ho vyštvali zo spoločnosti PayPal, prekonal život ohrozujúcu maláriu a zomrel mu malý syn, opustil Silicon Valley a vybral sa do Los Angeles. Keď nasledujúcich niekoľko rokov strávil vrážaním vlastného majetku do rakiet a elektrických áut, jeho priatelia ho nechápali. Rok 2012 však ukazuje, že sa mu podarilo jedno z najväčších vzkriesení v histórii biznisu: Spoločnosti Tesla, SpaceX a SolarCity dosiahli bezprecedentný úspech a Muskove čisté imanie vyletelo na viac než 5 miliárd dolárov.
V čase, keď sa mnohé americké spoločnosti viac zaujímajú o zhŕňanie ľahko zarobených peňazí, než by riskovali radikálne nové technológie, Musk vyčnieva ako jediný podnikateľ s dostatočnou dynamikou a víziou, aby riešil – dokonca revolucionizoval – naraz tri odvetvia priemyslu. Vance ukazuje, že Muskov úspech zvestuje návrat k pôvodným ambíciam a vynachádzavosti, ktoré urobili z Ameriky ekonomického a intelektuálneho lídra. Kniha je brilantná, prenikavá sonda do toho, čo Muskova kariéra znamená pre technologický priemysel, ktorý prechádza dramatickými zmenami. Ponúka malú ochutnávku toho, aké neuveriteľné storočie možno máme pred sebou.

Einstein: The Man and his Mind
Albert Einstein is known by name and image throughout the world to people of all ages. He is probably the most well-known scientist of all time. Even though most people have only a vague idea of what he did, the attraction remains. The raison d'etre for this book is to convey a sense of familiarity with Einstein as a real person and with the essence of his contributions. This is accomplished through annotated full-page photographs of Einstein that tell the story of his scientific life. The book is written for the general public. It may appeal to Einstein scholars as well.
This visual - and artistically beautiful - format differentiates Einstein: The Man And His Mind from all previous books about him. The images (mostly signed portrait photos) are supplemented by a selection of 53 rare letters, manuscripts, books, journals 51 original rare portraits 4 equations in Einstein's handwriting provided by what is likely the largest private Einstein collection in existence. This project has the support of two private US foundations The Sterling Foundation and The Antonia & Vladimer Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund, Inc. All royalties will be donated to the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The Man from the Future
The smartphones in our pockets and computers like brains. The vagaries of game theory and evolutionary biology. Self-replicating moon bases and nuclear weapons. All bear the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann.
Born in Budapest at the turn of the century, von Neumann is one of the most influential scientists to have ever lived. His colleagues believed he had the fastest brain on the planet - bar none. He was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and helped formulate the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory. He created the first ever programmable digital computer. He prophesied the potential of nanotechnology and, from his deathbed, expounded on the limits of brains and computers - and how they might be overcome.
Taking us on an astonishing journey, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and unique historical circumstance allowed a single man to sweep through so many different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went.
Insightful and illuminating, The Man from the Future is a thrilling intellectual biography of the visionary thinker who shaped our century.

Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything (Abridged)
In Rutherford and Fry's comprehensive guidebook, they tell the complete story of the universe and absolutely everything in it - skipping over some of the boring parts.
This is a celebration of the weirdness of the cosmos, the strangeness of humans and the fact that amid all the mess, we can somehow make sense of life.
Our brains have evolved to tell us all sorts of things that feel intuitively right but just aren't true: the world looks flat, the stars seem fixed in the heavenly firmament, a day is 24 hours... This book is crammed full of tales of how stuff really works. With the power of science, Rutherford and Fry show us how to bypass our monkey-brains, taking us on a journey from the origin of time and space, via planets, galaxies, evolution, the dinosaurs, all the way into our minds, and wrestling with some truly head-scratching questions that only science can answer:
What is time, and where does it come from?
Why are animals the size and shape they are?
How horoscopes work (Spoiler: they don't, but you think they do)
Does my dog love me?
Why nothing is truly round?
Do you need your eyes to see?
'A wonderfully engaging blend of wit, enthusiasm, clarity and knowledge.' Bill Bryson
'Like the universe itself, this book is multi-faceted, surprising and full of wonders. It's also funny, wise and exceedingly brainy. You really owe it to yourself to read it.' Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'If only Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry were on tap to all of us, all the time . . . The pair have such a gift for making life, numbers and the forces at work in the universe all the richer, stranger, funnier and more marvellous.' Stephen Fry
Cubed

Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla and the Bet of the Century
Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.
In the Wars
Born in war-torn Afghanistan, Waheed Arian's earliest memories are of bombs. Fleeing the conflict with his family, he spent much of his childhood in refugee camps in Pakistan, living sometimes ten to a room without basic sanitation or access to education. After he contracted tuberculosis, his first-hand experience of the power of medicine inspired Waheed to dedicate his life to heaing others. But how does a boy with nothing hope to become a doctor?
Waheed largely taught himself, from textbooks bought from street-sellers, and learned English from the BBC World Service. Smuggled to the UK at fifteen with just $100 in his pocket, he found a job in a shop. He was advised to set his sights on becoming a taxi driver. But the boy from Kabul had bigger ambitions.
Working through PTSD and anxiety, he studied all hours to achieve his vocation. He was accepted to read medicine at Cambridge University, Imperial College and Harvard, and went on to become a doctor in the NHS. But he wanted to do more. In 2015 he founded Arian Teleheal, a pioneering global charity that connects doctors in war zones and low-resource countries with their counterparts in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Together, learning from each other, they save and change lives - the lives of millions of people just like Waheed.
This is the extraordinary memoir of a boy who dreamed about helping others, a tale of courage, ambition and unwavering resilience against all odds.

Limitless: The Autobiography
'What surprised me was how entirely serene I felt. I was weightless, no forces exerting themselves on my body. To my left was the Space Station. Below me, gradually going into shadow, was the Earth. And over my right shoulder was the universe.'
In fascinating and personal detail, and drawing on exclusive diaries and audio recordings from his mission, astronaut Tim Peake takes readers closer than ever before to experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view.
Warm, inspiring and often funny, Tim also charts his surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim's extensive eighteen-year career in the Army included the command of a platoon of soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, deployment in Bosnia, and operations in Afghanistan.
Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary.

Escape from Earth
ESCAPE FROM EARTH is the untold story of the engineers, dreamers and rebels who started the American space programme. In particular, it is the story of Frank Malina, founder of what became Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the scientist who cracked the, as he called it, problem of escape from the Earth by rocket.
It's a wild ride. Jack Parsons, Malina's chemistry-expert research partner, was a bed-hopping occultist with delusions of grandeur. We get all the horrible details: drug parties and sex magic, cameos by Aleister Crowley and L Ron Hubbard, and an ill-fated attempt to start a mail-order religion.
Armed with hitherto unpublished letters, journals, and documents from the Malina family archives, Fraser MacDonald reveals what we didn't know. Jack Parsons betrayed Frank Malina to the FBI, cooperating fully in their investigation of Malina for un-American activities. The Jet Propulsion Lab's second director secretly denounced Frank as a Communist. Frank's research group had close ties to the spy network of the infamous Rosenbergs - the only Americans executed during the Red Scare. This is a story of soaring ideals entangled in the most human of complications: infidelity and divorce, betrayal and treason.

Privacy is Power
As the data economy grows in power, Carissa Veliz exposes how our privacy is eroded by big tech and governments, why that matters and what we can do about it.
The moment you check your phone in the morning you are giving away your data. Before you've even switched off your alarm, a whole host of organisations have been alerted to when you woke up, where you slept, and with whom. As you check the weather, scroll through your 'suggested friends' on Facebook, you continually compromise your privacy.
Without your permission, or even your awareness, tech companies are harvesting your information, your location, your likes, your habits, and sharing it amongst themselves. They're not just selling your data. They're selling the power to influence you. Even when you've explicitly asked them not to. And it's not just you. It's all your contacts too.
Digital technology is stealing our personal data and with it our power to make free choices. To reclaim that power and democracy, we must protect our privacy.
What can we do? So much is at stake. Our phones, our TVs, even our washing machines are spies in our own homes. We need new regulation. We need to pressure policy-makers for red lines on the data economy. And we need to stop sharing and to adopt privacy-friendly alternatives to Google, Facebook and other online platforms.
Short, terrifying, practical: Privacy is Power highlights the implications of our laid-back attitude to data and sets out how we can take back control.
If you liked The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, you'll love Privacy is Power because it provides a philosophical perspective on the politics of privacy, and it offers a very practical outlook, both for policymakers and ordinary citizens.
