Godstorm
LOVE READING SCIFI/FANTASY BOOK OF THE MONTH
A Female Gladiator's Vow. A Stolen Child. A Storm to End Empires
In an oil-fuelled Roman Empire which never fell, Arrow - a gladiatrix turned governess - must rescue Livy, the child she never meant to love, a girl who could tear down the world.
When Livy is abducted during a devastating Godstorm, Arrow must unleash years of the gladiator training she'd sworn to forget in order to save her. Defying her owner, a heartless Consul, Arrow turns to her ex-lover and the illegal druid underworld in a desperate attempt to rescue the girl she has tried not to think of as her own.
Her search will take her across Londinium, a city of petrol-powered chariots, to the pagan Old Town, and eventually the edge of the known world: the Amazon, where destiny and destruction intertwine.
Facing battle and betrayal Arrow must choose: reclaim her past as a killer-or risk everything for the child who might call her 'mother.'
She is the Sword.

Konečne je k dispozícii overená a dôkazmi podložená pomoc pre vyčerpaných rodičov, ktorí sa snažia zo všetkých síl, no majú pocit, že zlyhávajú.

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.

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.

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.
Zkrocení mlsného muže, 2. vydání
Jakub je lékař, velký gurmán a požitkář, ale také hrozný smolař. Jeho relativně poklidný a obyčejný život narušují desítky drobných katastrof, které jsou příčinou řady komických situací. Navzdory své nešikovnosti a smůle se ale hlavní hrdina se všemi potížemi vyrovnává s osobitým humorem – ať už jde o nedobrovolné snahy o hubnutí, výlet do lázní, nepovedený zálet na pracovní cestě, či netradiční zážitky s psím členem rodiny. I přes lehký žánr nabízí kniha prostor pro krátké zamyšlení nad smyslem života.
Notebooks for the Grandchildren
Notebooks for the Grandchildren is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand what went wrong after the great Russian Revolution of 1917. Through the eyes of young Ukrainians like himself, who came of age fighting for the Revolution but were murdered in the late 1930s, Mikhail Baitalsky recounts the Revolution’s hopes—and its tragic unraveling under Stalin. He narrates how Stalin rose to power and carried out the “political counterrevolution” that silenced so many. Arrested three times by the Stalin regime, Baitalsky survived to tell the story of what happened.
Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction
The first book-length examination of the theses developed by Louis Althusser and his collaborators on the processes of class-based educational formation and the function of schools. Drawing largely on unpublished writings that have been overlooked by scholars of both Althusser and critical pedagogy, Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction reveals that, for Althusser and the Groupe Spinoza, educational formation and the position of knowledge are central, decisive issues in understanding the real forces driving the mechanisms of social reproduction. This perspective enables a critical interrogation of knowledge transmission and opens up new possibilities for transformative educational practices.
