Tank Command
Former tank commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon OBE offers a gripping and unique account of the evolution of tank warfare, in collaboration with The Tank Museum. 'This deep dive into the evolution of tank warfare could not be timelier, and Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, who has more experience than most on these machines, is the perfect person to tell their tale' James Holland'Tank Command is an exciting and original look at tanks and tank warfare by a tank commander with over twenty years experience of commanding and fighting these behemoths of the battlefield' Al MurrayWho would have thought that steel boxes with guns would endure as the stalwart of the battlefield for over a hundred years? For all the new trickery and wizardry of the modern fight, the tank's ability to pack a huge punch at up to 3000 metres, protected by steel, ceramics and now, electronics, is still the most reliable and durable weapon in the military toolbox. In this thrilling new book, former tank commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon OBE offers a unique and timely exploration of the evolution of the tank, on and off the battlefield. Written in close collaboration with the world-renowned Tank Museum, it brings the thrill of hardware together with the sweep of history, telling the tank's origin story on the battlefields of World War I, charting its primacy during World War II, and analysing its critical role in modern warfare, whether in the Gulf (where Hamish served) or on the new Ukrainian and Russian front lines. From the MARK IV at the battle of Cambrai to the Challenger 2 in Ukraine, discover the characters who sat at the helm of these iron chariots and what they saw, those who innovated the machine to continue the tank's prominence despite numerous attempts to write it off, and why it remain critical to success in battle even in today's era of drones and cyber warfare. With thousands of hours commanding Chieftains, Challenger 1s, and Challenger 2s, Hamish is the leading authority on the subject, and Tank Command is an essential addition to any military history reader's bookshelf. 'This review of tank warfare by an accomplished exponent is timely given the increased risks of high intensity conflict and the need to equip our Army effectively' General Sir Nick Carter, former Chief of the Defence Staff'I fought with Hamish in a tank squadron in the First Gulf War, and gauge there are few better people to explain the evolution of the tank from Cambrai to the Donbass' General Sir Richard Shirreff, Deputy Commander of NATO'With the world seemingly on the precipice of war again, Tank Command is a timely reminder of the heritage and future of the tank which has been the backbone of warfare for over a hundred years' Rt Hon Sir Andrew Mitchell MP, former DFID Minister and ex Royal Tank Regiment'A great read and confirmation that the evolution of the tank is not over' General Sir James Everard Colonel, Commandant of the Royal Lancers

Why Do Birds Sing?
Throughout our history birdsong has influenced art, poetry and music. It can elevate our mood and bring our backyards to life. We often hear birds singing as we go about our lives, but have you ever wondered who they are singing to and what they are singing abou? he term 'bird brain' has led us to underestimate the brainpower it takes to hear a song, remember it and practise until it is reproduced correctly. In the same way human infants learn to talk, young birds learn their song by listening and remembering the sounds produced by their parents. Not only that, birds use different songs and calls, and different pitch, tone and volume, depending on who they're communicating with and what they want to say-much like the way we vary our speech. Why Do Birds Sing? provides an insight into the world of bird communication that will surprise and delight you. It's an absorbing and informative book filled with answers to many of the common and often uncommon questions we ask about birdsong. After reading this book you will never listen to a bird song in the same way!

How the Female Body Works
"The book I didn't know I desperately needed." - LORRAINE KELLY "Witty and wise - How the Female Body Works is a wonderful blend of science and humour. I laughed, I learned, and I felt seen. A must-read for anyone in a female body - and anyone who knows one." - Dr Charlotte Gribbin, Consultant Aesthetic & Regenerative Medicine Physician 'Technically, we're close, my body and I. We go everywhere together. And yet, I know little about how it actually works...' How much do any of us really know about our bodies? We know, for example, that women live longer than men, but why? We are told our brains are better at multi-tasking, but is that true? What exactly are hormones? Like: what do they look like? What's the point of PMS? Why are women twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's? And what's the deal with things like osteoporosis - why are our bones so damn fragile? For years, award-winning journalist Polly Vernon drove her body around like it was a car - and she had zero interest in the manual. This book charts her mission to lift the bonnet, have a good old rummage and find out what's really going on. She talks to neuroscientists, academics, medics, midwives, gynaes, psychologists and physios. People who really know their stuff. And so here it is, THE complete guide to the female body - head to toe, inside and out, physical and emotional - with reassuring advice on how to mitigate the ways it makes life trickier, along with notes of celebration for the ways it helps us out. Full of facts and stories that will blow your mind, this is a book you'll want to pass on to every woman (and man) you know.

Placebo ste vy
Je možné liečiť len silou myšlienky – bez liekov či operácie? Pravda je taká, že sa to deje častejšie, než by ste čakali. V knihe Placebo ste vy Dr Joe Dispenza uvádza množstvo zdokumentovaných prípadov ľudí, ktorým sa podarilo zvrátiť rakovinu, srdcové ochorenia, depresiu, paralyzujúcu artritídu a dokonca aj tras pri Parkinsonovej chorobe vďaka tomu, že verili placebu. Podobne Dr. Joe uvádza príbehy ľudí, ktorí ochoreli a dokonca zomreli ako obete kliatby či voodoo prekliatia – alebo po tom, ako im bola nesprávne diagnostikovaná smrteľná choroba. Viera môže byť taká silná, že farmaceutické spoločnosti používajú dvojito a trojito zaslepené randomizované štúdie, aby sa pri hodnotení nových liekov pokúsili vylúčiť vplyv mysle na telo. Dr. Joe neskúma len históriu a fyziológiu placebo efektu, ale kladie otázku: „Je možné učiť princípy placeba a bez spoliehania sa na akúkoľvek vonkajšiu látku vyvolať rovnaké vnútorné zmeny v zdraví človeka a nakoniec aj v jeho živote?“ Následne sa delí o vedecké dôkazy (vrátane farebných skenov mozgu) o úžasných uzdraveniach na svojich workshopoch, na ktorých sa účastníci učia jeho model osobnej transformácie založený na praktických aplikáciách takzvaného placebo efektu. Kniha končí „návodom“ na meditáciu zameranú na zmenu presvedčení a vnímania, ktoré nás brzdia – čo je prvý krok k uzdraveniu. Kniha Placebo ste vy spája najnovší výskum v oblasti neurovied, biológie, psychológie, hypnózy, behaviorálneho podmieňovania a kvantovej fyziky, aby demystifikovala fungovanie placebo efektu a ukazuje, ako sa zdanlivo nemožné môže stať možným.
Prestaňte príliš premýšľať
Od autora medzinárodného bestsellera
„Neverte všetkému, čo si myslíte“
prichádza sprievodná príručka,
ktorá vám pomôže zmeniť paralyzujúci cyklus prílišného premýšľania na jasné a intuitívne rozhodovanie.
Váš mozog je naprogramovaný tak, aby nad rozhodnutiami príliš premýšľal – nie preto, že by s vami niečo nebolo
v poriadku, ale preto, že vám veľmi záleží na tom, aby ste urobili správne rozhodnutie. Ak ste sa niekedy ocitli
v nekonečnej slučke „čo keby“, analyzovali každú možnosť až do vyčerpania alebo hľadali rady u všetkých
okolo seba
a napriek tomu ste sa stále cítili stratení, táto kniha je vašou cestou von. Na rozdiel od tradičných prístupov,
ktoré vás nechajú uviaznuť medzi nekonečnou analýzou a nejasnou intuíciou, autor ponúka kontraintuitívny
systém, ktorý úplne obchádza začarovaný kruh prílišného premýšľania. Nejde o to robiť dokonalé rozhodnutia,
ale robiť rozhodnutia, ktoré sú v súlade s vašou jasnou mysľou, a nie s chaosom.
Kniha predstavuje psychologický a praktický rámec, ktorý vám pomôže prekonať „paralýzu z premýšľania“
a prejsť k rozhodnému a ucelenému konaniu. Presúva dôraz z hľadania „dokonalého“ rozhodnutia na rozho-
dovanie ukotvené v jasnosti a dôvere v seba samého.

Temnota kráča lesom
V temnom lese sa v priebehu jedného dňa nájdu mŕtvy dospievajúci chlapec a utopený kôň. Policajt Alexander Stenborg si dva prípady najskôr nespája. Nedávno sa so svojou tehotnou manželkou Sofiou presťahovali do malého idylického mesta Ormaryd, kde sa chystajú „začať odznova“. Počas vyšetrovania na prípade ho mätie časť zvieraťa, jeho oči – nevyzeral, akoby bol ešte živý? Chcel mu niečo povedať?
V skutočnosti Alexandra trápi, že musel ponížene odísť zo štokholmskej polície s poškvrnenou povesťou. Sofia sa po rokoch opäť skontaktuje so svojou mamou a je odhodlaná zistiť, kto je jej otec.
Uzavretá komunita mesta sa k snaživým novým susedom chová odťažito. Manželia sa nemôžu spoľahnúť ani na miestneho pastora, ktorý organizuje zvláštne stretnutia. Alexander a Sofia čoskoro vycítia, že v Ormaryd a neďalekých lesoch sa ukrýva čosi hrôzostrašné.
Temnota kráča lesom z pera spisovateľského dua Kallentoftovcov je tajomný atmosférický triler o sekte a rozpínajúcich sa hraniciach zla.

Krava rodí v noci
Píše sa rok 1996. Vo Fínsku vychovávaný osemročný chlapec trávi letné prázdniny v Kosove, kde zažíva čudesné udalosti, ktoré ho poznačia na celý život. V dome starého otca uprostred kosovského vidieka sa stáva svedkom vecí, pre ktoré nemá slová, pre ktoré neexistuje pomenovanie. V realite diktovanej prísnou disciplínou sú jedinou útechou silná predstavivosť a krava, v ktorej chlapec vidí slávu a utrpenie celého sveta. V dospelosti sa s matkou vracia do rodného kraja, v ktorom každodenný život riadi nedôvera a strach z vojny. Z chlapca sa stal spisovateľ, no dedičstvo násilia ho ťahá do stále deštruktívnejších situácií. Ako však rozprávať o tom, na čo je i spomienka príliš bolestivá? V snahe nájsť odpovede začne písať listy mŕtvemu otcovi. Zo slov plných hnevu a nenávisti sa začnú tvoriť obrazy, čoraz presvedčivejšie dôkazy. Cesta prinúti spisovateľa nazrieť za pravdu i iluzórne predstavu, do temnôt roztriešetených spomienok a chorobnej mysle. Čo sa dá odpustiť? Dá sa pomstou dospieť k zmiereniu? Je možné spomenúť si?
Krava rodí v noci je úchvatný, divoko sa rútiaci román o kulisách minulosti a neprestajnej blízkosti nebezpečenstva, o ľuďoch bez pocitu bezpečia a o živote bez akéhokoľvek svetla na konci tunela

Jedno pre dušu
Nájsť moderné duchovné poučenie prispôsobené otcom rodín dnešnej doby nie je úplne jednoduché. Práve dnes však otcovia intenzívne vnímajú potrebu sústrediť sa na podstatu, pretože žijú vo svete, kde musia znášať mnohé tlaky. Tieto „otcovské desaťminútovky“ sú inšpirované stretnutiami Abbé mousse papas (čo by sa dalo voľne preložiť ako Kňaz s otcami na pive), pri zrode ktory´ch stál francúzsky kňaz Raphaël Cournault.
Kniha ponúka desať prehľadny´ch a dynamických kapitol pre zaneprázdnených otcov. Vzťahy s manželkou, deťmi, vlastným otcom, peniaze, práca, záľuby atď.: desať hlavných tém z každodenného života otcov tu autor približuje s hĺbkou a dobroprajnosťou.
