Mýty a pověry v lesnictví
Podívejte se pod koruny našich lesů! Les není jen továrna na dřevo. Kniha Mýty a pověry v lesnictví odhaluje některé zakořeněné omyly, které formují současné lesní hospodaření v Česku. Autor se zamýšlí nad tím, proč zákon o lesích stále upřednostňuje produkci dříví před životem samotného lesa – a co to znamená pro naši krajinu, biodiverzitu i budoucnost.
Dozvíte se například:
proč byl pojem zakmenění zavádějící
co je špatně na souších a proč se jich nemusíme tolik bát
jakou roli mohou hrát pařeziny a lesní pastva v moderním hospodaření
a proč by nový zákon o lesích měl vycházet z potřeb celé společnosti
Tato kniha je výzvou k přehodnocení zažitých představ. Je určena nejen lesníkům a odborníkům, ale i všem ostatním, kterým záleží na tom, jak budou vypadat naše lesy za 50 let.

Roadcraft - the Police Drivers Handbook
Roadcraft is the handbook for police and other emergency services drivers undertaking driver training. In driver training, Roadcraft is combined with practical instruction. This edition is designed so that it can be used for self-study either before or during a course, and for ready reference afterwards. The aim of Roadcraft is to improve your driving ability. Your safety and that of other road users depends on your awareness of what's happening around you and your ability to control the position and speed of your vehicle relative to everything else on the road. A collision or even a near miss is often the result of a lapse in driving skill. Roadcraft aims to help you become a better driver by increasing your awareness of all the factors that affect your driving - your own capabilities, the characteristics of your vehicle, and the road and traffic conditions. The Roadcraft system of car control is a methodical approach to hazards which increases your safety by giving you more time to react in complex situations. What vehicles does Roadcraft cover? You can apply the principles of Roadcraft to any vehicle you drive, whether a modern car or larger or older vehicles. The basic design and the supplementary features built into a vehicle all affect its capabilities. As vehicle design and safety technology become more and more sophisticated, it would be impossible in a book of this size to cover the range of variations in, for example, wheel drive, transmission, adaptive suspension and active safety features. You should always get to know your vehicle's characteristics and adapt your driving to them, and have a good grasp of the manufacturer's guidance for every vehicle that you drive.

The Company of Owls
*LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING 2025LoveReading’s Best Books of the Year 2025?Share in the company of owls in this nocturnal love song… From the author of Some of Us Just Fall, longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. ‘I couldn’t put down this warm and comforting, beautiful book.’ Ajay Tegala, author of Wetland Diaries___ In the woods above Polly Atkin’s home in Grasmere, Cumbria live the tawny owls she calls her neighbours. Each night, they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls – in particular a trio of owlets she watches grow from fledglings to young adults. As the antics of the owl siblings develop – their capacity to play, to bicker, to share and to protect – they encourage her to think differently about some of the big needs of all our lives: solitude and companionship, care and belonging, rest and retreat. And into the frame step questions about all sorts of relationships, from how we feel when in darkness to the homes and connection we so desperately seek. The Company Of Owls is a love song to these incredible creatures, and a reflection on what makes them, and us, unique. It’s a call to find joy in unexpected places and times. It is a lesson in learning to listen – to really listen – when all around us seems clamour and noise. ___ ‘Rarely have I found a book so transporting, so moving.’ Jessica J. Lee, author of Dispersals ‘A beautiful guide to moving through this world with tender curiosity, joy and reflection.’ Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean

Kingdom of Football
Kingdom of Football explores how and why Saudi Arabia burst onto the landscape of world football in 2023, and examines what the speed and scale of Saudi engagement—as investor, owner, sponsor, host and competitor—might mean for the Kingdom and for football.Writing as both a football fan and a Gulf specialist, Kristian Coates Ulrichsen offers historical and comparative contexts for Saudi Arabia’s startling emergence as a world football hub in the 2020s, exploring both previous Saudi investment in the game, in the 1970s, and national attempts elsewhere to kickstart the sport, as in the United States, Japan and China.Going beyond popular media labels such as ‘sportswashing’, this fascinating book examines what drives Saudi policymaking, connecting the move into football with domestic economic and social developments, as well as external and foreign policy considerations. It also examines how Riyadh’s foray into world football both builds upon and yet differs from the approaches taken by other Gulf States, such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Finally, Coates Ulrichsen assesses the sustainability and durability of the Kingdom’s engagement with the sport in the decade-long countdown to the 2034 FIFA World Cup, which Saudi Arabia is set to host.

Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides
A vibrant, meticulously researched celebration of the women and non-binary skateboarders who defied a hostile industry and redefined skateboarding around the world. The experiences of heroic older women have traditionally been dismissed or buried in the history books, and the skateboarding industry has mirrored this trend. The conversation has focused on the iconic male professionals, their contest results, trick inventions, and sponsors, while female skateboarders rarely get mentioned beyond a token paragraph, and stories of their contributions and barrier-breaking have almost never been told. Until now. With enthusiasm and empathy, Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides celebrates the relentless participation of women in skateboarding from the 1960s onward who defied a hostile industry to carve out their own space through underground networks. Skater librarian Natalie Porter presents interviews and meticulous research, including the DIY zines created by female and non-binary skaters to expose this unacknowledged story while offering a personal narrative about the importance of community-building and validation, with or without your own video game. Girl Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides disrupts the image of skateboarding as an exclusive male domain, offering historical context for the seemingly rapid progress of female skaters today seen competing on the Olympic stage. Discover how the collective action of a grassroots movement in the 1980s established meaningful change, building a foundation that has led to greater inclusion and diversity, which has inspired women, girls, and non-binary youth worldwide to roll on a skateboard for the first time and, sometimes, return to this passion as an adult.

The Genius Bat
Step into the shadows and listen... 'Brings the poster-species of Halloween out of the shadows, so we can better appreciate the flying mammal.' National GeographicUsually, you’ll hear a bat before you see it – the gentle flutter of wings, their high-pitched chatter as they dive and roll for insects. Only occasionally do you spot them, a blur against the evening sky. With nearly 1,500 known species, bats are among the most successful mammals on earth. From the tiny bumblebee bat – which could rest comfortably on your index finger – to the giant golden-crowned flying fox with its 1.5-metre wingspan, they are evolutionary marvels, adapted to practically every environment. The Genius Bat brings to life these amazing creatures, as well as the obsessive and sometimes eccentric people who study them. From muddy rainforests to star-covered deserts, from guest houses in Thailand to museum drawers full of fossils in New York, this is an eye-opening account of a remarkable animal. 'A marvellous book.' Nancy Simmons, Curator of Mammalogy, American Museum of Natural History'Fascinating... Yovel clearly explains bats' vital contributions to a healthier planet.' Merlin Tuttle, author of The Secret Lives of Bats and founder of Bat Conservation International
