Vrcholový nádech
„Pokaždé, když jsem se vydal vstříc nové expedici, věděl jsem, že budu čelit těžkým výzvám, extrémním podmínkám a jiným nebezpečím. Při každém výstupu jsem musel překonat nejen fyzické překážky, ale také své vnitřní limity, svůj strach a nejistotu a chytat se i stébla, abych dokázal udělat další krok vzhůru.“ Jeden z nejznámějších českých horolezců, Marek Novotný, dává nahlédnout pod povrch opravdových dobrodružství.

Isle of Wight 40 Coast and Country Walks
The Isle of Wight in the English Channel is England's largest island, separated from the mainland by the Solent but easily and quickly accessible from the south coast. Designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the mild climate and slower pace of life has long attracted holiday-makers and curious walkers who come to explore the island's rolling chalkland hills, peaceful woodland paths and sandy beaches and coves. The 40 walks in this volume make the most of the island's well-maintained trails - which include some of the most celebrated clifftop walks in southern England - as well as many lesser-known gems waiting to be discovered on this Treasure Island.
Losing Big
Inside America’s preventable sports-gambling debacle
In 2018, the United States Supreme Court opened the floodgates for states to legalize betting on sports. Eager for revenue, almost forty states have done so. The result is the explosive growth of an industry dominated by companies like FanDuel and DraftKings. One out of every five American adults gambled on sports in 2023, amounting to $121 billion, more than they spent on movies and video games combined.
The rise of online sports gambling—the immediacy of betting with your phone, the ability of the companies to target users, the dynamic pricing and offers based on how good or bad of a gambler you are—has produced a public health crisis marked by addiction and far too many people, particularly young men, gambling more than they can afford to lose. Under intense lobbying from the gaming industry, states have created a system built around profit for sportsbooks, not the well-being of players.
In Losing Big, historian Jonathan D. Cohen lays out the astonishing emergence of online sports gambling, from sportsbook executives drafting legislation to an addicted gambler confessing their $300,000 losses. Sports gambling is here to stay, and the stakes could not be higher. Losing Big explains how this brewing crisis came to be, and how it can be addressed before new generations get hooked.
“Losing Big demonstrates how legalized sports betting became a gigantic business, a ceaselessly annoying marketing presence, and a genuine danger to hundreds of thousands of people.” —Daniel Okrent, author and inventor of Rotisserie League Baseball
Ferrari
Ferrari have the distinction of being the only manufacturer to have competed throughout the history of Formula 1. The company’s early Formula 1 and Formula 2 cars first appeared at the Italian Grand Prix in September 1948. It was these cars, particularly in 1950 and 1951, that really brought the name Ferrari to the attention of the general public by competing at the very pinnacle of motor racing, the Formula 1 World Championship. During the Second World War, Enzo Ferrari had a factory in Maranello making grinding machines, but he had a burning ambition – to dominate international motor racing. Within two years, his workforce had produced the company’s first sports car and in 1948 Ferrari presented his first single-seater F1 cars to the world. By 1951, his new 4.5-litre F1 cars were beating his old nemesis, Alfa Romeo, on their way to winning the World Championship in 1952 and 1953.John Starkey tells the story of those early years as Ferrari struggled to overcome many obstacles to win the new World Championship. Featuring rare archive photographs, this is an indispensable guide to Ferrari’s first racing cars and the emergence of motor racing as an elite sports phenomenon.

The Art of Winning
‘Coach Belichick brought out the best in me. His book will do the same for you.’—Tom Brady • ‘This book shares the valuable lessons about excellence and leadership that Coach Belichick has learned.’ —Michael Jordan • ‘Powerful, insightful, and remarkably personal, The Art of Winning is a playbook for life.’ —Admiral William H. McRaven, US Navy (Retired) •''Invaluable for anyone trying to succeed in any aspect of life. I urge you to read this book''• ‘A remarkable deep dive into the mind of a champion.’ —Nick Saban Winning isn’t a science. It’s an art. And it can be learned.No one embodies winning more than Bill Belichick, the greatest American football coach of all time. Over the past fifty years, Belichick has been a man of notoriously few words, believing that a coach should keep a low profile. After he left the Patriots in 2024, he briefly became a coach without a team. He spent that year writing down the principles he learned from his father, Navy football, and from his forty-nine-year coaching career.Belichick’s philosophy goes far beyond football. He presents a whole-year, whole-life, whole-mindset approach to greatness that encompasses preparation, motivation, confidence, and leadership. The principles in this book are adaptable to wherever you work. No matter where you are on the ladder, they will help you think like a leader in anticipation of being one.Drawing on decades of studying the greats of the game, handling colorful personalities and egos, and playing for the highest stakes in sports, Belichick shares memorable examples and practical takeaways from his lived experience. Winning is not about being perfect—it’s about growth. And you will improve only as much as you recognize where you’re weak. Belichick owns up to mistakes like deciding to go for it on 4th and 10 in the 2008 Super Bowl. Then he breaks down how to learn from your mistakes like a leader does—an approach that sustained him throughout his early-career challenges and ultimately brought him to the top of the sport.Belichick’s principles might surprise you at times. At other times, they might seem strangely obvious. (His rule for how to win football games? Score the most points.) Football is about strategy, human nature, and business. Your vision of success might involve breaking into a new, competitive market in your industry; seeing solid returns on a portfolio that you’ve carefully prepared; inspiring your students to earn the highest scores in the district; or raising up trainees to take over your job someday. Whatever the situation, your performance is up to you.Practical, authoritative, and bursting with unforgettable inside stories, The Art of Winning is an indispensable guide to success from the greatest coach in NFL history.
