Stories of the Sun
For millennia we have looked to the sun to provide us with light, food and warmth. Yet, in our attempts to increase the productivity of each hour, we have skewed our days and stretched them through the use of candles, electricity and LED bulbs, our faces glowing in the unnatural light of screens and electronic devices. Within the pages of this book lies the chance to reconnect with our primal life force through folklore, exploration of ancient cultures, myths, legends and tales of our past. By understanding the power of our ancient star through the wisdom of those who walked this land before us, we can hope to unplug ourselves from the synthetic glow that surrounds our lives and reconnect with the Stories of the Sun.

American Fantasy
Annie is on a journey straight back to her past.
When the American Fantasy cruise ship sets sail for a four-day themed voyage, aboard are all five members of a famous 1990s boyband, and three thousand women who have worshipped them since their youth.
Newly divorced and with an empty nest, Annie is on board as a lark to appease her sister. Once a diehard fan of the band as a teen, she now feels out of place amid the sea of bedazzling t-shirts bearing the singers faces.
Yet when the lights go down, the cocktails are poured and the band starts singing, Annie finally reconnects to a long-submerged part of herself.
As she encounters Keith, the band s slightly depressed, fifty-something lead singer not just a celebrity but someone clearly in need of a friend she feels like anything is possible.
But is the connection between Annie and Keith just a fantasy? Or is this the beginning of a new chapter for them both?
Full of laugh-out-loud reflections on fame, nostalgia, marriage and growing up, American Fantasy celebrates the magic of revisiting our youth, and the even greater magic of starting anew.

Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách
Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách je jedno z nejsložitějších, a přesto nejméně systematicky uchopených témat českého podnikatelského prostředí. Kniha je srozumitelným a praktickým průvodcem mezigeneračním předáním majetku, řízení i hodnot. Ukazuje, jak předcházet konfliktům mezi členy rodiny, jak vytvořit a smysluplně pracovat s rodinnou ústavou a jak přemýšlet o její právní roli. Vysvětluje, jaké možnosti nabízejí majetkové struktury, jako jsou svěřenské či nadační fondy, a jak nastavit jejich fungování tak, aby obstály i při náhlém výpadku zakladatele.
Autorka propojuje téměř desetiletou praxi s hlubokým právním zázemím a přináší odpovědi na otázky, které si podnikatelské rodiny kladou, ale jen zřídka nacházejí ucelené a odpovědné vysvětlení.
Plachý dům
Rodinné vztahy mezi dcerou, matkou a otcem tvoří osu románu Plachý dům slovenské prozaičky Barbory Hrínové. Autorka, kterou čeští čtenáři znají již ze sbírky povídek Jednorožci (2020, česky 2022), se ve své nové knize vrací k tématům blízkosti, paměti a každodennosti. Román vystavěný na čtyřvětém symfonickém půdorysu sleduje příběh stárnoucího učitele hudby Ambroze. Nahlíží jeho vztahy s nejbližšími, jeho tiché zápasy i radosti a jeho hluboký vztah k hudbě a poezii. Z různých perspektiv a prostřednictvím proměnlivých vypravěčských forem skládá autorka citlivý obraz rodiny – nenápadný, a přitom silný.
Why We Think What We Think
An eye-opening journey through the secret forces shaping our opinions, this book reveals why we think what we think - and why disagreement matters
Our opinions - whether we believe in God or in ghosts, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration, our basic sense of what's good or fair - are shaped by a breathtaking web of hidden forces. The age-old idea that our views are forged by reason and evidence alone is wrong: we are influenced by everything from the quirks of distant history, through the geology of where we grew up, to the lines of our genetic code.
This astounding book takes us through culture, biology, geography, history, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. It reveals:
why the descendants of rice farmers have different values to the descendants of grain farmers
how our physical appearance shapes the way we see the world - and why conventionally attractive people tend to support the free market
why liberals think pineapple should go on pizza, and why conservatives prefer smooth peanut butter to crunchy
why hot and humid countries favour authoritarian leaders, and drought-prone ones prefer authoritarian gods
Packed with extraordinary stories and counterintuitive discoveries, Why We Think What We Think asks a fundamental question of ourselves. If we are predisposed to our beliefs, how can we escape the bounds of our own perspective? The answer lies in disagreement. Argument is how we reason, how we think our way to a better world. To thrive, as individuals and societies, we need the other side.

A Little More Love
An in-depth biography that closely examines the superstar’s multi-faceted career, personal life, advocacy, and legacy. Olivia Newton-John was one of the biggest and most iconic global pop stars in history with estimated record sales of over 100 million and starring roles in several films, including Grease and Xanadu. Her hit “Physical” was ranked by Billboard as the most popular single of the 1980s. Behind all of this glitz and glamor was an extremely strong, kind, and resilient person with an unfailing, positive attitude in the face of personal tragedies and setbacks. For decades, she bravely and publicly battled breast cancer while continuing her career and advocated for environmental issues, animal rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. This biography, based on extensive archival research and original interviews with many of her friends and associates, reveals the real person who was Olivia Newton-John. Matthew Hild provides many never-before-shared insights into the star’s life, including her humanitarianism and personal struggles, and dives deeply into her many famous records and lesser-known work, from her early start in Australia all the way to her last recording – a moving duet of “Jolene” with Dolly Parton.
Familiar
When Cora inherits a house in rural County Down from a grandmother she never knew, she steps into a family history shaped by absence, silence, and restraint. Ballybrae House is both shelter and a place of renewal, holding the imprints of those who came before and the hope of something new. Told through the shifting perspectives of three women across generations, Familiar follows Annie as she approaches death and discovers unexpected freedom in letting go; Joyce, her daughter, almost mute with grief, who finds liberation in Cora's arrival; and Cora, who must learn to inhabit a place - and a past - that was deliberately withheld from her, and find the courage to begin again. Familiar is a story about belonging and the uneasy intimacy of family, asking what it means to survive within inherited structures - and how, at moments of rupture, those structures might be remade.

Fakers
Intrigue, espionage, and deception. The truth behind 8,000 once top-secret files, so explosive their authors never dreamed they would be released. Fakers reveals the rise and fall of the mavericks running Britain's Cold War forgery empire. Their secret mission was audacious: to disrupt and discredit adversaries across the world using phantom groups, fake sources, and counterfeit documents. The leader was a remarkable character, wrestling with personal and professional dilemmas: Hans Welser. An Austrian refugee and one-time MI5 suspect interned behind barbed wire, Welser was a great survivor who rose to become special operations adviser to the Foreign Office, working hand in glove with MI6. His second in command was an eccentric, hard drinking, and high-flying journalist-turned-propagandist called John Rayner. Brought out of semi-retirement, for one final posting. Their team of bowler-hatted refugees, voluble ex-journalists, trailblazing women, and licentious literary sorts navigated loyalty and betrayal — both professionally and romantically — from the diplomats' attic, in the most sensitive part of the Foreign Office's secret propaganda department. The newly declassified files expose an array of plots, some comically absurd and others dangerously controversial. The forgery empire impersonated everything from hippies and ghosts to Islamists and ballet composers in their campaign to smear hostile politicians, stir tensions among adversaries, and even stymie the career of a contentious British historian. All took place against a high stakes backdrop — both overseas as states competed beneath the looming threat of nuclear war and in the corridors of power at home where grey-suited bureaucrats circled, keen to shut down the team for good. With timely insight into how propaganda works and how to respond to disinformation, Fakers is a thrilling journey into a secret world where nothing was as it seemed.

Insatiable Appetites
Step into the kitchens, streets and chop houses of Georgian London – one day, one city, countless appetites. From dawn until past midnight, Londoners dined at taverns, coaching inns, oyster rooms, confectioners, coffee shops, chocolate houses, soup shops and dining rooms. For the poor, the streets bustled with vendors offering early versions of fast food: hot green peas, baked potatoes, suet puddings, curds and whey, rice milk, gingerbread, pastry ‘pigs,’ and the now-forgotten saloop, a warming drink made from orchid roots. After dark, sex workers and their clients indulged in a glass of jelly, then considered an aphrodisiac, as a precursor to a visit to the brothel. As the empire expanded, culinary influences poured in: London’s first Indian takeaway appeared in 1773, while the East End became home to Jewish fried fish, Italian boloney and German sausages. Through the course of a single day, this book takes readers on a journey through breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper in Georgian London, drawing on contemporary archives to follow hungry citizens from all walks of life as they navigate the city’s diverse food landscape. It reveals not only culinary pleasures and horrors, but also the social challenges and daily struggles that shaped life in the capital.
