Metamorphosis


'Beautiful. Entertaining. Inspiring.' Nature'Startling . . . riveting . . . hauntingly timely.' Washington Review of Books'A meditation on transformation . . . Warm [and] empathetic . . . wonderful.' Science'Startling . . . astounding . . . Animated by wonder.' MIT's UndarkMetamorphosis has always been one of biology's greatest wonders and toughest riddles. To emerge a butterfly, a caterpillar dissolves inside its chrysalis and builds a brand new brain, wings and legs. Why all this destruction and remodelling? Why all this wasted energy and tim? ren Harman beautifully unfurls the untold story of metamorphosis across two millennia, asking why it has obsessed and inspired us so profoundly. Along the way we meet poets, artists, philosophers, and a cast of scientists as colourful as the animals themselves: whether Aristotle determining cucumbers had souls, Sigmund Freud searching in vain for eel testicles, or a Japanese zoologist singing karaoke to a baby jellyfish. Taking us on an exhilarating journey through the creatures that metamorphose - a staggering three-quarters of all animal species - from starfish reproducing in reverse in ocean depths, to poison dart frogs on steaming rainforest canopies, to human adolescents struggling to control themselves, Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by explaining a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves.

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back … Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft – and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

Revitalizovaná budúcnosť


Kniha Revitalizovaná budúcnosť – Ako klimatizovať mestá a krajinu mäkkou cestou Radoslava Dvořáka prepája svet architektúry s múdrosťou Prírody. Autor, pôvodne architekt, sa vzdáva kolón strierych v Prírode mení v pozorovateľa jej dokonalých systémov – a prináša túto skúsenosť späť do miest. V prvej časti knihy detailne popisuje, ako prírodné ekosystémy (lúky, kríky, lesy) fungujú ako sebestačné klimatizačné jednotky, ktoré zadržiavajú vodu, obnovujú pôdu a vytvárajú harmonické prostredie. S vedomosťou a poetikou odhaľuje, ako každý detail, od koreňov po listy, slúži väčšiemu celku. Druhá časť ukazuje, ako tieto princípy aplikovať v mestskom prostredí. Predstavuje „mäkkú metódu“: záhony miesto betónu, kríky ako prírodnú klimatizáciu, dažďovú vodu ako vzácny zdroj. Ponúka konkrétne riešenia, ktoré nevyžadujú revolúciu, ale pozornosť a spoluprácu s Prírodou. Kniha je určená nielen architektom a urbanistom, ale každému, kto hľadá cestu späť – alebo skôr dopredu – s Prírodou ako spojencom.

Care and Feeding


An Instant New York Times Bestseller!A candid, funny, and occasionally devastating culinary memoir of a woman making her way through the food world, navigating addiction, a cultural reckoning, and an unexpected tragedyIn this moving, hilarious, and insightful bestselling memoir, Laurie Woolever traces her path from a small-town childhood to working within the high-stakes celebrity chef culture at revered restaurants and food publications, alternately bolstered and overshadowed by two of the most powerful men in the business. But there’s more to the story than the two bold-faced names on her resume: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain. Behind the scenes, Laurie’s life is frequently chaotic, a high-functioning addict’s often pleasurable buffet of bad decisions at which she frequently overstays her welcome. Acerbic and wryly self-deprecating, Laurie attempts to carve her own space as a woman in this world that is by turns toxic and intoxicating. Laurie seeks to try it all—from a seedy Atlantic City strip club to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, from a hippie vegetarian co-op to the legendary El Bulli—while balancing her consuming work with her sometimes ambivalent relationship to marriage and motherhood. As the food world careens toward an overdue reckoning and Laurie’s mentors face their own high-profile descents, she is confronted with the questions of where she belongs in a story of both workplace toxicity and personal recovery, and how to hold on to the parts of her life’s work that she truly values: care and feeding. This is a story of keeping it together, until several successive implosions—careers, marriages, reputations, lives—show that control is an illusion. An Unflinching Addiction Memoir: A raw and darkly funny account of binge drinking, bad decisions, and the slow journey toward sobriety in an industry that runs on excess. Women in the Culinary World: A candid exploration of what it takes to carve out a space as a woman in kitchen culture. A Cultural Reckoning: Witness the food world’s overdue reckoning from the inside, as high-profile figures face their own descents and hard questions must be answered.

Zokology


Like it or not, playing golf will pull you inside out and expose your soul - and there''s no place to hide. Zokology isn''t just a book about golf. It''s about learning to think when the way you''ve always thought is no longer working. And for Dick Zokol, that meant learning how to navigate the noise in his head and figuring out how to survive on the PGA Tour. Zokol''s Cinderella story began when he ''walked on'' the Brigham Young University golf team. Four years later, he captained BYU to victory in the NCAA Championship. Later that summer he won the Canadian Amateur and got through the notorious PGA Tour Q-School. But the fairy tale ended and Zokol struggled as a rookie on the PGA tour. Dealing with intense anxiety, expectations, and feeling he didn''t belong, he battled the loneliness of life on the road. He was soon desperately searching for something that would help him find solid ground. From here, Zokol opens up about the real stuff - the mental and emotional toil that defined his 22 years on the PGA Tour. His two wins on the PGA Tour, both in 1992 were evidence his path had taken hold. In his career, Zokol played over 450 Tour events and learned success wasn''t about the golf swing - success and failure are about your mind. Employing a thought-protocol can get you through those difficult situations. Zokology is raw, real, and sometimes uncomfortable. It''s a guide for when you get off track - on the course or just in your own mind.
