Moonlight Express
From the award-winning author of Around the World in 80 Trains, a romantic and hugely entertaining tour of some of the world's most spectacular night trains.
The night train: headlamps ablaze, passengers boarding after sunset and leaving before sunrise, slipping in and out of compartments unseen. From Austria's Nightjet to the Caledonian Sleeper and the Santa Claus Express, journalist Monisha Rajesh invites us on an adventure aboard the world's most wondrous moonlit journeys on the tracks. Along the way, she samples reindeer stew in Scandinavia, retraces the original route of the Orient Express, sips on pisco sours aboard the Andean Explorer, and watches the sun rise over the Potomac River on the Silver Meteor to New York.
By turns romantic and hilarious, Moonlight Express brings us along for the ride - and drops us back at the platform before sunrise.

Ako vychovať psychicky odolné deti
Ako spojiť silu neurovedy s programom Love and Logic®, a vychovať tak sebavedomé, láskavé, zodpovedné a odolné deti a mladých dospelých. RODIČOVSTVO BUDE ČOSKORO JEDNODUCHŠIE A OVEĽA EFEKTÍVNEJŠIE... V čase, keď sa zdá, že toľko detí a mladých dospelých zápasí s ťažkosťami, rodičia hľadajú pomoc, ako vychovať duševne zdravé deti, ktoré budú pripravené napredovať. Konečne je k dispozícii overená a dôkazmi podložená pomoc pre vyčerpaných rodičov, ktorí sa snažia zo všetkých síl, no majú pocit, že zlyhávajú. Autor bestsellerov podľa rebríčka The New York Times, neuropsychiater Dr. Daniel Amen, a detský psychológ Dr. Charles Fay spojili sily, aby odhalili, čo chýba väčšine kníh o rodičovstve. Pointa je v tom, že ak chcete efektívne vychovať dobrých a silných ľudí, musíte sa venovať nielen mozgu, ale aj mysli svojho dieťaťa (a seba samých). V tejto prelomovej knihe, kde sa neuroveda stretáva s láskou a logikou, dostanete praktické nástroje, vďaka ktorým môžu deti všetkých vekových kategórií prejsť od problémového správania, napríklad vzdoru, záchvatov hnevu a mocenských zápasov, k tomu, aby boli • zodpovedné, sebavedomé, láskavé a odolné, • pripravené robiť dobré rozhodnutia, • sústredené a motivované, • schopné budovať zdravé vzťahy a ešte oveľa viac… Dovoľte Dr. Amenovi a Dr. Fayovi pomôcť vám stať sa rodičom, akým ste vždy chceli byť, a vychovajte skvelé deti, ktoré budú na ceste k tomu, aby naplno rozvinuli svoj potenciál vrátane čo najlepšieho duševného zdravia.
10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny
Všetci robíme chyby, no len málokto svojím prešľapom zmení chod dejín. Kniha 10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny prináša vtipný a osviežujúci výber neúmyselných pochybení, ktorým sa to podarilo – raz to bol rozchod, čo pochoval impérium, inokedy spánok poslal ku dnu pýchu lodiarstva.
Britský historik a komik Paul Coulter si posvietil na kľúčové postavy a udalosti posledných dvoch tisícročí. Za nablýskanou fasádou moci a egom božských rozmerov – či išlo o fascinujúcu Kleopatru, alebo o tragédiu Titanicu – sa totiž často skrývali až príliš obyčajné ľudské zlyhania.
Zabudnite na nudné učebnice. Prichádza dejepis, ktorý vás bude baviť: hitparáda katastrofálnych rozhodnutí, pomýleného hrdinstva a totálnej straty súdnosti. Autor rozpráva príbehy, ktoré formovali náš svet a mali priam neuveriteľné následky. Napokon, človeku sa hneď lepšie zaspáva s vedomím, že nech už dnes pokazil hocičo, najväčšie postavy histórie to dokázali zbabrať ešte oveľa ukážkovejšie.

Verranské ostrovy 1: Dědictví iluzí
Není mazlíčkem, kterého si ochočili.
Stala se šelmou, kterou pustili mezi sebe.
Pro celý svět je Iverson pouze králův „mazlíček“ – poslušná trofej, která mlčky sedí u jeho trůnu. Krása je však její prokletí a rubínový obojek na krku neviditelným poutem, které ji pevně svírá v rukou krále Baylora.
Aby Iverson přežila, musí zabíjet. Aby zvítězila, musí lhát. Existuje pouze jedna cesta ke svobodě: legendární zbraň almanova, po které bezúspěšně pátrají celé generace. Jedině ta je schopná přemoci sílu obojku. Iversonin osud se proplete s tajemným a nebezpečným Thornem.
Musí se rozhodnout: uzavře spojenectví s nepřítelem, který o ní ví víc, než by kdokoli měl? Jeho blízkost v ní probouzí neovladatelnou touhu. Zároveň odhaluje tajemství, která ji mohou zničit.
Iverson ví, že se Thorna nesmí dotknout. Protože každý, kdo to zkusil, zemřel. Zahubí se navzájem, nebo je pohltí spalující vášeň? Svoboda je na dosah, ale její cena se platí krví a duší.
Tropické Bavorsko
Po nacistickom lekárovi Josefovi Mengelem sa po skončení druhej svetovej vojny zľahla zem. Jeho domovom sa stal štát So Paulo, kde sa obklopil po nemecky hovoriacimi európskymi imigrantmi, ktorí mu ochotne pomáhali až do smrti. Bola medzi nimi aj učiteľka v nemeckej škole Liselotte Bossert. Jej žiačka a autorka tejto knihy Betina Anton sa po mnohých rokoch, už ako úspešná novinárka, rozhodla preskúmať, ako sa najhľadanejšiemu nacistovi na svete darilo dlhé roky unikať pred spravodlivosťou.

Beyond the Tricolour
Beyond the Tricolour explores the history of internationalism through individuals and political organizations who took practical action in defense of internationalist principles. Birchall looks at committed internationalists who argued against nationalism, racism and war but have too often been neglected by mainstream history. The book focuses on the context of French history, and the French socialist and working-class movement in particular. Beginning from the defense of Dreyfus against anti-Semitism, it covers antimilitarism before 1914, opposition to the First World War, the advent of Communism, then the rise of Stalinism, fraternization with German soldiers during the Nazi occupation, and support for national independence in Indochina and Algeria.
The Political Economy of South Africa's Post-apartheid Transition: The Rejection of Alternatives to Neoliberalism
South Africa’s post-apartheid transition has proven disastrous. But what caused this unfortunate trajector? oday, the country is marked by the emergence of a black elite of enriched capitalists who have benefitted from the globalization, neoliberalization and financialization of the economy in general, and from its Minerals-Energy and Financial Complex in particular. By contrast, inequalities, poverty and failing social provision have persisted. Recent attention has shifted to how this trajectory was initiated, with some suggesting a lack of available alternative policy options at the time of transition. The Political Economy of South Africa’s Post-apartheid Transition shows this to be false. In fact, a full range of progressive alternatives were rejected, leading to corresponding consequences from “state capture” to electoral defeat.

Red Flags
Red Flags is a visual field guide to modern behaviour — part satire, part mirror, and part survival manual. Created by Belgian designer and visual storyteller Bart Kiggen, the book unpacks the characters, archetypes, and micro-cultures that shape our digital and emotional lives. From the Ghoster to the Apex Pretender, from the Brand Messiah to the Yuppie Mephistopheles, each red flag is drawn, described, and decoded with wit and precision. Blending staged photography, cultural critique, and design, Red Flags turns online performance into visual anthropology. It examines how attention became identity and how charisma, care, or confidence can all tip into manipulation. Each portrait is both absurd and familiar, reminding us that the red flags we recognise in others often reflect our own. In this carefully composed and conceptually sharp book, Bart Kiggen uses imagery, humour, and typography to explore the psychology of the age of exposure. Red Flags invites readers to look closer, laugh more softly, and perhaps notice a few signals in themselves before it’s too late.
