Spravedlivý růst
Rovné šance, efektivní reformy a prosperita širší společnosti jako lék na politickou strnulost Česko si udržuje spoustu drahých nespravedlností. Chudé děti mají malou šanci získat kvalitní vzdělání. Nízkopříjmové zaměstnance drtí daňový systém. Rodiče, cizince i předlužené vytlačuje legislativa z trhu práce. Veřejné systémy nemotivují ke zdravotní prevenci ani ekonomické iniciativě. Nic z toho už nemůžeme nazývat slepými skvrnami — a přesto statisíce lidí a celé regiony stále nedosáhnou na společný blahobyt. Česko kvůli tomu ekonomicky stagnuje a ztrácí společenskou soudržnost. Geopolitická situace a klimatická krize před nás přitom staví mnohem závažnější výzvy. Sociolog Daniel Prokop ukazuje, že potřebujeme spravedlivý růst. Česko poroste, jen když do prosperity spravedlivě zapojí všechny obyvatele. Zároveň musí překonat samospád, jímž se dnes řídí veřejné systémy. Část lidí se v nich ztrácí, zbytek využívá jejich mezery a slabiny a politika jen udržuje společenskou strnulost. Prokopova kniha ukazuje hloubku zdejších problémů a zároveň detailně popisuje reformy daní, dávek, vzdělávání, ale i samospráv či zdravotní prevence, které by Česko posunuly k prosperitě pro všechny.

Night of the Living Cat Vol. 7
A virus spreads across the world, transforming all humankind into wild, slavering, furry beasts: cats, to be precise. Those few survivors who remain human take refuge in the dark corners of the earth as they fight back against the feline horde. Kunagi, a man with no memory of his past yet a deep knowledge of cats, struggles to hold on with only his wits and a will to survive.

A fény magányossága
1975, Budapest, az űrverseny végén. A hidegháború enyhülni látszik, az Apollo–Szojuz-korszak a technológiai együttműködés illúzióját kínálja, a hétköznapokat mégis az alkalmazkodás, a hallgatás és a kimondatlan határok szabják meg.
Kajetán Andor csillagász a magyar tudományos élet egyik legismertebb arca: a Csillagvizsgáló Intézet büszkesége, a televízió kedvence. A felszín alatt ugyanakkor gyász és depresszió gyötri, rossz döntések és kétes alkuk következménye, melyek mélyen a múltjába nyúlnak. És hamarosan ismét útelágazáshoz érkezik, egy újabb rossz döntés pedig már az egész hátralévő életére és szakmai munkájára végzetes kihatással lehet.
Andor ugyanis a munkáján túl a katonai felderítés informátora, aki külföldi útjairól hazatérve beszámol a történésekről, és jelentéseket ír kinti kollégáiról. Egyik este a tartótisztje megkeresi azzal, hogy a rendszer meghálálná eddigi tetteit, és arra kérik, fejezze be volt kollégája és barátja, Kemenesi György tanulmányát, mely jelentős tudományos felfedezést ígér a Végső Sors-elmélet kutatásában, ami az univerzum tágulását vizsgálja.
Kovács Krisztián valós eseményeken alapuló történelmi regénye lélektani tanulmány tudományos kíváncsiságról és lojalitásról, apaságról és elhallgatásról, nagyívű története Budapest második világháborús bombázásától a Szputnyik fellövésén át egészen a holdra szállásig, majd még annál is tovább vezet. A fény magányossága ugyanakkor feszült thriller arról, hogyan válik erkölcsi csapdává a határok feszegetése, és milyen árat fizet az, aki áruba bocsátja tehetségét a politikai hatalom számára.
A fény ugyanis nem válogat: nemcsak megvilágít, hanem le is leplez.
On America
A timely volume for America250 that illuminates what America means—and what it means to be an American.As Americans mark the semiquincentennial of their republic’s birth, they are deeply divided over the nature and meaning of the American Founding. Does the United States rest on an intrinsically racist basis, as is now so often claimed? Did the Declaration of Independence commit the United States to a perpetual revolution aimed at liberating the American people—and others—from all inherited constraints? If America’s framers were neither vile racists nor wild-eyed radicals, were they at least good liberals? They were in fact none of these things. In On America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776, Russell Kirk, one of the most important and brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century, explains that America is not an “experiment,” but rather a particular expression of the entire Western heritage. The Founding of the United States should be understood as an essentially conservative act, writes Kirk, and is therefore an achievement in which sober-minded Americans ought to take pride. Besides fresh, accessible essays on the Declaration of Independence and the Founding period, On America includes Kirk’s insightful reflections on wise American statesmen from John Adams to Abraham Lincoln to (surprisingly) Eugene McCarthy, as well as his interpretations of great American writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Robert Frost to Flannery O’Connor.
Summer
''Can''t you see that I don''t care what anybody says?'' Charity Royall lives in the small New England village of North Dormer. Born among outcasts from the Mountain beyond, she is rescued by lawyer Royall and lives with him as his ward. Never allowed to forget her disreputable origins Charity despises North Dormer and rebels against the stifling dullness of the tight-knit community surrounding her. Her boring job in the local library is interrupted one day by the arrival of a young visiting architect, Lucius Harney, whose good looks and sophistication arouse her passionate nature. As their relationship grows, so too does Charity''s conflict with her guardian; darker undercurrents start to come to the surface.Summer is often compared to Wharton''s other New England story, Ethan Frome, and it shares the same intensity of feeling and repression. Wharton regarded it as one of her best works, and its compelling story of burgeoning sexuality and illicit desire has a strikingly modern and troubling ambiguity.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

It's time to reap what you sow.
Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they're ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn't who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns.

Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unravelling.
Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she's falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she's vowed to protect? He's become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.
Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.

Poslední ghetto
Poslední ghetto je srozumitelným, poutavým i bolestným čtením o tom, jak vypadal život vězňů v Terezíně. Každodennost, kterou Hájková čtenáři předkládá, nemá podobu sentimentalizující fotografické momentky. Nejedná se o únik z kruté reality života v ghettu do poslední bašty nezkaleného lidství. Autorka nabízí pohled do mnohovrstevnaté minulosti, jakési minulé přítomnosti, kde je základní charakteristikou lidí i ve velice vypjatých situacích jejich vlastní jednání. Pečlivá práce s obrovským množstvím osobních svědectví a dokumentů tvoří základní kámen úspěchu této knihy. A ačkoli Hájková čtenáři předkládá vrchovatou míru výpovědí, jmen a situací, poměrně hladce sleduje hlavní výkladovou linku. Ukázky vzpomínek nemají povahu pouhého vršení důkazů, pod jejichž tíhou by měl čtenář rezignovat na vlastní uvažování. Přínos Posledního ghetta se ovšem nevyčerpává s novým výkladem historie Terezína. Hájková v knize opakovaně konstatuje, že její práci lze číst i jako ukázku, jak analyzovat vězeňská společenství, či dokonce společnosti v extrémních podmínkách. Dr Anna Hájková je associate professor na britské University of Warwick. Vystudovala dějiny, sociologii a anglistiku na Humboldtově univerzitě v Berlíně a obdržela doktorát na University of Toronto v Kanadě. Rukopis knihy Poslední ghetto byl vyznamenán cenami Herberta Steinera a Irmy Rosenbergové. Hájková publikuje v českých, německých, britských, amerických a izraelských novinách.
Posmrtný život dat
Kniha otevírá otázku, co se děje s našimi digitálními stopami po smrti a jak technologie proměňují samotné chápání konečnosti. Sociální sítě, archivy zpráv i algoritmicky oživované vzpomínky udržují zemřelé v komunikačním prostoru živých a vytvářejí nový stav „posmrtelnosti“. Digitální identity a nástroje umělé inteligence dokonce umožňují simulovat přítomnost těch, kdo již mezi námi nejsou, čímž se stírá tradiční hranice mezi životem a smrtí. Komu patří „digitální ostatky“ a kdo má právo rozhodovat o jejich dalším osudu? Kniha vybízí k veřejné debatě o odpovědnosti platforem i uživatelů za kolektivní digitální dědictví, které po sobě zanecháváme.
