Bílá čarodějnice
Světem zmítá utajená bitva o technologicky převratnou čínskou vesmírnou stanici.
Ronnie Luck pracuje jako síťař armádních kybernetických sil. Život plný misí a nejistoty ho pomalu začíná unavovat a do mysli se mu vracejí vzpomínky na Tokio. Odpočinek s manželkou naruší mise nejvyšší priority — do prostoru spojenců právě vnikla nová čínská vesmírná stanice Bílá čarodějnice. Jedná se o technologický zázrak, jaký lidstvo dosud nevidělo, a Ronnie je spolu s dalšími dvěma agenty na stanici vyslán, aby o ní získal co nejvíce informací.
Kaidan Korg přežívá v hongkongských slumech, kde každý den zápasí o holé přežití. Když do města dorazí čínská stranická inkvizice, rozhodne se jednat a ukrást z její lodi neuvěřitelně cennou skálarní jednotku. Tím však nastartuje kolotoč událostí, jež ho zavedou na místa, o nichž ani netušil, že existují.
Chloe Hunter, dcera bývalého kapitána vojenského zpravodajství Arisu Deskara Huntera, pracuje jako investigativní novinářka, která se specializuje na témata, o nichž se ostatní bojí psát. Při čekání na další velký článek ji kontaktuje tajemný cizinec s výzvou, aby vypátrala původ a okolnosti vzniku Bílé čarodějnice. S neukojitelnou zvědavostí a jistotou neomezeného přísunu cizincových financí se Chloe vydává na strastiplnou pouť za článkem svého života, jež ji však bude stát mnohem víc, než si dokázala představit.

Muž z Brna na Onom Světě
Josef Ječmínek přežil Brno, tak už by ho nemělo nic překvapit. Z bezpečnostních důvodů je však odklizen na Šumavu, kde v utajení zastává funkci mluvčího chráněné krajinné oblasti Onen Svět. Parta místních podivínů mu to ale moc neusnadňuje. Tím spíš, když v osadě dojde k vraždě seniora z Prahy a Josef se stane hlavním podezřelým a hvězdou televizní reality show Česko hledá vraha. Navíc mu jde po krku Američan pátrající po dávném šumavském tajemství, které může ovlivnit pohled na moderní dějiny lidstva.

Once Upon a Time in the Woods
A fairytale from picture-book legend, Anthony Browne.
"Once upon a time in the days when wolves roamed the land, there lived three boys, who one day wandered deep into the woods and came across a little cottage they’d never seen before..."
They think that maybe a witch lives in the cottage - at first they are curious, but soon they start to tease the inhabitant, with surprising consequences...
Exploring bullying, peer pressure and making assumptions, this new tale weaves an empathetic moral among stunning artwork and storytelling.
Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office
We've leaned in, we've girl bossed, we've untamed, and it's still challenging to be a woman at work. Though the workplace looks different than it did twenty years ago, women still face considerable challenges that men do not.
In this new 3rd edition of The New York Times bestseller Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Dr. Lois P. Frankel teaches you how to reject the "nice girl" mentality, which manifests as a distinctive set of behaviors learned in girlhood that ultimately sabotage you as an adult, and still exists in today's modern workplace. Dr. Frankel provides tools and guidance for eliminating these unconscious mistakes that could be holding you back in your career. Mistakes such as:
• Mistake #4: Believing Negative Self-Talk. Counter negative messages with positive ones.
• Mistake #26: Fear of Coming Across too Strong. Don't dumb down, shut down, or tone down--be assertive!
• Mistake #55: Poor Boundaries. If you're going to work from home, set boundaries.
• Mistake #85: Doing Instead of Leading. Picking up others' slack becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You have the power to take control of your career without being controlling, to speak your mind while still being respected, and to chase your ambitions without fear or shame.
Nauč nás modliť sa - modrá
Modlitebník Nauč nás modliť sa prináša svieži pohľad na detskú modlitbu. Nejde o zbierku zaužívaných textov, ktoré sa opakujú celé generácie, ale o výber nových, aktuálnych a deťom blízkych modlitieb, ktoré oslovujú dnešného prvoprijímajúceho kresťana.
Každá tematická časť je uvedená krátkym, zrozumiteľným textom, ktorý deťom pomáha pochopiť, kedy a prečo sa môžu modliť – bez zbytočného moralizovania, jednoducho a prirodzene. Modlitby sú písané jazykom, ktorému deti rozumejú, a mnohé z nich vznikli priamo z ich vlastných slov a skúseností.
Modlitebník zároveň ponúka aj základné a prehľadne spracované časti formácie viery: pobožnosť krížovej cesty, ruženec, liturgiu svätej omše, prípravu na prvé sväté prijímanie formou otázok a odpovedí, prípravu na sviatosť pokánia, ako aj pobožnosť deviatich prvých piatkov. Vďaka tomu je vhodnou pomôckou pre farskú katechézu a prácu s deťmi v období prípravy na sviatosti.
Táto kniha chce deti povzbudiť, aby sa nebáli hovoriť s Bohom vlastnými slovami – úprimne, otvorene a tak, ako to cítia. Ukazuje im, že modlitba nemusí byť naučená naspamäť, ale môže byť živým rozhovorom, v ktorom môžu Bohu povedať všetko: radosť, obavy aj vďačnosť. Zároveň ich vedie k tomu, aby si vytvárali vlastný vzťah k modlitbe ako prirodzenej súčasti každého dňa.
Vydané v spolupráci s Liturgickým inštitútom v Košiciach a Liturgickou komisiou KBS.

Porcupines
‘A dazzling mother-daughter story’ Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street'Funny, acerbic, and wonderfully playful: a novel to sink into' NAOMI WOOD, author of Mrs. Hemingway'Destined to become an instant classic. Richly drawn characters in an immigrant journey as old as America herself' ADRIANA TRIGIANI, author of The View From Lake ComoLos Angeles, 2001. Sonia is raising her daughter, Mila, alone in the sunny but somnolent suburbs of LA. Her days are a blur of not-quite-illegal business activities, avoiding other moms, and baking birthday cakes laced with rum: minor mistakes that nevertheless remind her she doesn’t belong. Mila, meanwhile, is juggling violin and swimming lessons and navigating the treacherous social politics of school – all the while trying to get her mother to share something, anything, about her past. But there are just too many things that Mila doesn’t know:She doesn’t know that her mother grew up in Soviet Hungary (where getting your hands on a banana was one of the greatest thrills in life)She doesn’t know that her mother has a sister called Rina (whom she hasn’t spoken to in 10 years)The only thing she does know about her father is that he was a ‘good time’ (according to her mother)Crucially, she doesn’t know that there is a very good reason why her mother dodges everyone, from traffic cops to vice principals. So, Mila concocts a scheme to get her mother, and the man Mila is kind of sure must be her father to reconnect. It involves corralling Sonia into chaperoning an orchestra of ten-year-olds (most of whom seem to be called Megan) on a road trip from LA to San Francisco, and it may just cause their carefully constructed lives to implode. Moving between Budapest before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington, DC in the tense years of the Cold War and the bright sunshine of early 2000s Los Angeles, Porcupines is an irresistible novel about mothers and daughters, belonging and reinvention, the things we carry with us, and those we tell ourselves we’ve left behind.
Into the Badlands
In the summer of 1989 John Williams embarked on an epic journey through a deeply troubled USA. A right-wing Republican administration seemed bent on rolling back the advances of the civil rights era; the Supreme Court were partially reversing the Roe vs Wade ruling on abortion; criminals from the Central Park rapist to the serial killers Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey were all over the news. Who did Williams turn to make sense of all this? America's crime writers - that's who. He talked to novelists like James Ellroy and Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky and James Lee Burke, and visited the places they write about, like Los Angeles and Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans. The result was an instant cult classic that remains deeply relevant today: both an incisive and funny travelogue and a revealing guide to the lives and works of America's finest crime writers, caught at their peak.
The Great British River
From sparkling springs and babbling brooks to urban canals and muddy estuaries, discover the fascinating journey of our rivers and the wildlife that calls them home. Our rivers are home to some of Britain's most iconic species, including brown trout, mayfly, kingfisher and otter, and for centuries they have provided us with a place to explore and relax. Not only do they provide a habitat for wildlife, they're also a crucial resource for drinking water, farming and transportation. However, a combination of relentless pollution, failing water management and climate change have had a devastating effect. There are currently no rivers in the UK with a ‘good’ ecological status, threatening the species that depend on them to survive. In The Great British River, freshwater specialist Jack Perks explores the fundamentals of our rivers: the habitats they supply, how they transform on the journey from source to estuary, and why certain species are suited to them. Discover ways to enjoy your local waterways and wildlife, as well as what can be done to help protect them. Beautifully illustrated with colour photography of some of our most vital rivers and the species that live in and around them, this accessible book is a celebration of the British river, and a call to action to conserve this precious habitat.
Veľká blondínka a iné poviedky
Hoci patrí medzi najvýraznejšie postavy americkej literatúry prvej polovice 20. storočia, v našich končinách zostáva Dorothy Parker takmer neznáma. Jej autorský rukopis je pritom nezameniteľný – ostrý, vtipný, citlivý a zároveň sarkastický. Jej básne, poviedky a fejtóny pre časopis The New Yorker sú nielen detailným obrazom americkej mestskej inteligencie, ale aj prenikavou obžalobou dobového rasizmu a patriarchálnych vzťahov. I keď sa Dorothy Parker preslávila najmä svojím humorom, jej poviedky dokazujú, že ho používala najmä ako zbraň spoločenskej kritiky, ktorá dodnes nestratila nič zo svojej naliehavosti.
Veľká blondínka a iné poviedky prináša výber z autorkinej prózy prvýkrát v slovenčine.

To prove his loyalty to his family, James ventures into dangerous territory to capture his father's killer. But the longer he follows Ahnna's trail, the more his certainty of her guilt is tested-and the more the passion they once shared reignites.
As war brews, Ahnna and James discover that the real enemy isn't each other. With their loyalties on opposing sides of the battle to come, James and Ahnna must choose where their hearts lie: on the battlefield, or in each other's arms.

Ballot
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.
