This is the Main Event
What if the life we long for isn’t elsewhere but rather right here, waiting to be discovere? oshua Luke Smith believes the greatest lie facing our generation is that the life we long for lies beyond the life that we have. We so easily learn to disdain the inconveniences, interruptions and messy mundane that infuses our everyday. But the real transformation happens when we look at our life as it is and dare to announce: This is the main event. With depth, wisdom and storytelling, This Is the Main Event is your invitation to awaken to the sacred in your ordinary life. As Joshua claims, the extraordinary life is simply the one in which we practice presence – to ourselves, to others, to God. Every moment becomes meaningful when you recognise the God who meets you in it – a holy encounter accessed in the everyday. Whether you’re packing lunches, paying bills, headed to the office, a hospital or a recovery meeting, this is a book to help you receive the greatest gift you already have and to practice your own aliveness in your actual life. Ebury Vine: The Home Of Christian Living. Drawing on the deep roots of Christianity to cultivate curious minds and inspire faith-informed growth.

GRIP OF ICE HB
The gripping untold story of Britain’s first Antarctic expedition — a daring journey that launched the legendary careers of Scott and Shackleton.Before Robert Falcon Scott’s tragic race to the South Pole and Ernest Shackleton’s legendary Endurance, there was Discovery, the expedition that began it all. Discovery was Britain’s first Antarctic expedition, where Scott, Shackleton and their crew battled scurvy, starvation and the brutal Antarctic wilderness in an audacious push further south than any human had gone before. But this is more than a tale of adventure.Through the lives of twelve expedition members, historian Ed Armston-Sheret unearths a forgotten story of heroism, science, imperial ambition and the harsh realities of survival. With fresh insights drawn from diaries, letters and archival materials, The Grip of the Ice sheds new light on how this little-known expedition shaped British culture and Antarctic exploration for generations to come.Timed for the 125th anniversary of the voyage, this is history at its most exhilarating – an essential read for lovers of adventure and exploration.
Art of Opposition
''What a triumph ... One of Britain''s most gifted and inspiring writers'' – Sarah Hall''Every artist needs to read this book, there''s something for the soul on every single page'' Derek OwusuBoth as a novelist and as a screenwriter, Courttia Newland has found himself, through circumstance or choice, in a place of opposition to the commercial mainstream. Now, he reflects on what it means to be an artist operating in the margins and shares his experiences and observations for those facing similar hurdles and choices.Newland covers key aspects of creating beyond the mainstream, including centring your own voice; which voices are allowed full freedom of artistic expression and which are not; the importance of reading outside of the white Western canon; and how success shapes the work of historically excluded creatives. Alongside his own observations and experiences, he explores the work of – and in some instances interviews – other oppositional artists, including Percival Everett, Lou Mensah, Iain Banks, Jean Binta Breeze and others. The result is a startling provocation, and a galvanising vindication of refusing to conform.

Detské doplňovačky 4 2026 a ľudské telo 2
V tomto čísle Detských doplňovačiek pokračujeme v téme Ľudské telo, ktorej sme sa venovali už pred rokom. Táto téma je veľmi obsiahla, a do jedného čísla sa nám nevošlo všetko to, čo by tam byť malo, i keď redakčný kocúrik Markus robil, čo mu sily a labky stačili. Takže je tu nová porcia skvelých hlavolamov, ktoré si treba vylúštiť, aby ste sa dozvedeli, prečo je pre človeka dôležitý smiech, ako funguje ľudský mozog, čo sú to neuróny a načo sú dobré nervy… a ešte veľa iných, veľmi zaujímavých vecí.
The New Geography of Innovation
The US is the source of just about all the technologies that define modern life: personal computers, operating systems, smartphones, e-commerce, web browsers, email, search engines, social networks, electric cars and the rest. And most of the tech companies that created and monetized these technologies are also in the US.
In this book Mehran Gul, the winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize, asks: is that changing?
Less than a decade ago, the sentiment towards Chinese tech compa-nies was often dismissive and complacent. Now the alarm bells are ringing. But as the commentariat pontificates how the US-China tech battle will play out, an equally interesting question to ask is: are there more Chinas out there? Places no one is taking seriously now that might turn out to be massively competitive sooner than we think.
Samsung, a South Korean conglomerate, competes with Apple to be the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones. Arm, founded in the UK, develops chip designs that are used in more than 90 per cent of all mobile devices. Spotify, based in Sweden, is the most popular music streaming service in the world.
That's not all. The world's most important semiconductor company, TSMC, is in Taiwan. The other most important company in the semiconductor industry, ASML, is in the Netherlands. Some of the world's best-known games like Minecraft, Candy Crush and Angry Birds came from gaming studios in the Nordics. Nearly all the major electric battery manufacturers like CATL, LG, and SK On are in Asia.
This is a story about technology and the places where it finds its way into the world. Silicon Valley has for half a century been unrivalled in spinning out technologies and fast-growing, high-value, billion-dollar-plus tech companies, the Apples, Facebooks, Googles of the world, that made it the centre for the most rapid creation of wealth in human history. Its secrets are spreading to more places.
The geography of innovation is shifting. The world has a lot more high-value tech companies than ever before, growing a lot faster than ever before, in a lot more places than ever before. This is a book about these places.

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances
'And that's why I want to be called Scout'
'It's most unusual, said Clock.
'She's the one who listens and learns,' Scout said. 'She's like me.' She paused and set her voice to pensive. 'You already have names. I'd like one too.'

Pomsta je krvavá 1
Lana Myersová prahne po odplate. Čakala a pripravovala sa na ňu desaťročie. Jej niekdajší trýznitelia si myslia, že je dávno mŕtva. Ibaže ona prežila, zmenila si identitu a pustila sa do premyslenej pomsty. Cestu jej skríži špičkový a charizmatický agent FBI Logan Bennett, vyšetrujúci, ako inak, sériové vraždy. Logan netuší, s kým má do činenia, a iskra, ktorá medzi ním a Lanou preskočí, je neodškriepiteľná. Ako sa ich vzájomné puto prehlbuje, v stávke je toho čoraz viac. Začína sa napínavá hra na mačku a myš. Lana sa pokúša zvládnuť novoobjavený cit i vieru v dobro. Zároveň nepoľavuje ani vo svojich plánoch pomsty.
Knižná séria Pomsta je krvavá postupne odkrýva Lanin aj Loganov príbeh. Čitateľov nenechá ani na chvíľu vydýchnuť. Ľahko sa pristihnú pri tom, že brutálnej, no sympatickej Lane – označovanej aj za akúsi ženskú verziu Dextera Morgana – napriek morálnym pochybnostiam držia palce, a príbehom sa dajú strhnúť. Dynamickosť znásobuje striedanie rozprávača po každej kapitole, takže raz vnímame udalosti z Laninho a potom zase z Loganovho pohľadu.
S.T. ABBY je jedným zo pseudonymov americkej spisovateľky Christie Owens. Práve pod týmto aliasom napísala svoju najznámejšiu knižnú sériu Pomsta je krvavá (v angličtine vyšla v roku 2016 pod názvom Mindf*ck Series). Owens zomrela v roku 2021, pričom mala len 37 rokov. Presné okolnosti jej úmrtia neboli zverejnené, čo časť jej fanúšikov dodnes podnecuje k rôznym oficiálne nepodloženým špekuláciám.
