Land of Dreams
In the 1930s, scandal, secret loves, and murder shatter a woman’s Hollywood dream in a gripping novel by the USA Today bestselling author of When the World Goes Quiet. It’s 1933, and though the country is stuck in the Great Depression, movies are the ultimate escape. But Hollywood is skilled at selling lies, and nothing is as it seems. Frankie Donnelly is scrappy, smart, and ambitious. Her knack for spinning any story into stellar publicity has made her an invaluable “fixer” at RCO Studios, where she works under the tutelage of powerful Nico Marconi. Frankie’s latest fix is the upcoming marriage of Hollywood royals Jack Sawyer and June Finney, and millions of fans can’t wait to see their favorite silver-screen lovers tie the knot. But Frankie knows the truth: The marriage is an artful cover for Jack and June’s darkest secrets. When a shocking murder occurs, allegiances fracture, the tabloids go wild, and a devastated public is left reeling. Frankie uncovers new layers of scandal and deception and is forced to choose which Hollywood player to protect and who to destroy. Now, more than ever, the country needs a happy ending—but at what cost?
The Pardon
“A splendid narrative about political power and mercy.” —David Grann, #1 bestselling author of The Wager The power of the presidential pardon has our national attention now more than ever before. This “thought-provoking and strenuously argued” (The Washington Post) book from New York Times bestselling author and CNN legal commentator Jeffrey Toobin provides a timely and compelling narrative of the most controversial presidential pardon in American history—Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, revealing the profound implications for our current political landscape, and how it is already affecting the legacies of both Presidents Biden and Trump. In this deeply reported book, Toobin explores why the Founding Fathers gave the power of pardon to the President and recreates the behind-the-scenes political melodrama during the tumultuous period around Nixon’s resignation. The story features a rich cast of characters, including Alexander Haig, Nixon’s last chief of staff, who pushed for the pardon, and a young Justice Department lawyer named Antonin Scalia, who provided the legal justification. Ford’s shocking decision to pardon Nixon was widely criticized at the time, yet it has since been reevaluated as a healing gesture for a divided country. But Toobin argues that Ford’s pardon was an unwise gift to an undeserving recipient and an unsettling political precedent. The Pardon explores those that followed: Jimmy Carter’s amnesty for Vietnam draft resisters, Bill Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, and the extraordinary story of Trump’s unprecedented pardons at the end of his first term. “A master class on a power wielded by presidents for more than 200 years” (The Guardian), The Pardon is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the complex dynamics of power within the highest office in the nation, and the implications of presidential mercy.

GFI 30: priestory & miesta
Kniha mapuje tridsať rokov fungovania architektonického ateliéru GFI – jednej z najvýraznejších a najproduktívnejších architektonických kancelárií na Slovensku. Príbeh ateliéru, ktorý vyrástol z priateľstva, spoločných školských rokov a potreby robiť architektúru poctivo, sleduje cestu od improvizovaných začiatkov až po rozsiahle mestské projekty, ktoré dnes výrazne formujú podobu Bratislavy aj ďalších miest.
Publikácia predstavuje výber tridsiatich projektov, prostredníctvom ktorých odhaľuje nielen výslednú architektúru, ale aj spôsob uvažovania, proces hľadania a premýšľania nad mestom, priestorom a jeho budúcim fungovaním. Zachytáva vývoj ateliéru v čase – od prvých realizácií až po veľké mestské celky, ktoré vznikali v spolupráci s domácimi aj zahraničnými partnermi.
GFI sa za tri desaťročia podieľalo na viacerých ikonických stavbách súčasného Slovenska. Navrhlo veľkú časť bratislavského Downtownu vrátane prvého slovenského mrakodrapu Eurovea Tower. Medzi významné bratislavské realizácie patrí napr. aj rozšírenie nákupného centra Eurovea, polyfunkčný komplex Klingerka, administratívne budovy na Pribinovej 40 a Landererovej 12, objekt Panorama Business II či polyfunkčný súbor Downtown Yards. Takisto stoja za obnovou Kaštieľa Pálffy vo Svätom Jure a rekonštrukciou tatranských hotelov ako je Sliezsky dom pod Velickým plesom či rekonštrukcia Hotela Lomnica v Tatranskej Lomnici.
Kniha je obrazom práce, skúseností a premien architektonickej profesie počas posledných tridsiatich rokov. Je zároveň svedectvom o tom, že architektúra nevzniká iba z veľkých vízií, ale aj z tisícov rozhodnutí, čiar a hľadaní správnych riešení, ktoré napokon vytvárajú skutočné miesta pre život.

Čtivý mix cestopisu, deníku a osobního příběhu o hledání sebe sama tam, kde moře voní po vanilce a občas i po realitě.

Armentrout comes the complete Summer King saga-three parts, one epic romance. Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike.

Brighton Jussier knows better than to trust him. Raised in the Order, she's seen the atrocities Caden is capable of. Reformed or not, she wants nothing to do with him...until he leaves her no choice. Forced into an uneasy alliance, she discovers the man beneath the ice-a man whose touch burns with forbidden heat and whose gaze holds a wicked promise. But there's someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare hell-bent on destroying the world-and everyone close to him. The more Brighton and Caden work together, the harder it is to deny the hunger between them.

Now, as the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable-not just to survive, but to save mankind from the evil that threatens to consume the world.

Shameful Silence
Break the silence surrounding male victims of domestic abuse and challenge harmful stereotypes Society has a blind spot — and one in three men are paying the price. Millions of men experience domestic abuse. Yet their suffering is routinely dismissed, minimized, or outright denied. Trapped by shame, stigma, and cultural myths about masculinity, they endure abuse in silence. Often, they lack the language to describe their experiences and face systems unwilling to protect them. In Shameful Silence, Human Rights attorney Alexandra Lozano exposes the hidden epidemic of male domestic abuse. With unflinching honesty, legal precision, and deep compassion, Lozano draws on sixteen years of frontline experience to advocate for vulnerable individuals in complex legal systems. She reveals a vital truth few confront: abuse can devastate without leaving bruises. Through survivor accounts and rigorous research, this book reveals sophisticated, often invisible tactics used against men, including gaslighting, financial control, parental alienation, false allegations, and using custody battles and immigration status as weapons. These abuses leave no visible scars yet dismantle identity, isolate victims, and destroy lives. Blending legal insight, psychological research, and deeply human storytelling, Shameful Silence challenges entrenched stereotypes about victimhood and masculinity. Lozano reframes strength not as silence but as truth. She offers readers clarity and validation that so many male survivors have never received. In this book, readers will discover: First-hand accounts from male survivors that illuminate emotional, psychological, financial, and physical abuse patterns often ignored or mischaracterizedExpert analysis of systemic failures within law enforcement, family courts, and healthcare systems that leave male victims unprotectedPractical guidance for recognizing abuse, setting boundaries, seeking support, and beginning the healing processResources and organizations specifically equipped to support male survivors of domestic violence. How to advocate for specific reforms—whether by contacting lawmakers, supporting organizations for male survivors, or challenging bias in their professional spheres—to ensure protection and equity for all victims. Shameful Silence is essential reading for male survivors seeking validation and a way forward. It is also vital for legal, healthcare, and education professionals, as well as social workers and advocates seeking deeper insight into non-physical abuse and institutional blind spots. This book expands our definition of abuse and challenges societal beliefs. It offers a blueprint for a world where every survivor is seen, heard, and protected.

Kovbojové na moři
Petr Kos debutuje knihou, na kterou sbíral materiál dlouhých patnáct let. Ale jak říká, všechno má svůj správný čas. Napřed bylo nutné kus dobrodružného života prožít, aby o něm mohl začít psát. A nejspíš i proto jeho kniha působí jako zjevení. Zčásti vznikla na palubě Anny z Troms?. Tu vlastníma rukama zachránil před osudem jiných starých lodí, které už se na moře nikdy nedostanou. Ale dno téhle knihy je ještě o hodně hlubší.
Zápisky zachycující záchranu Anny a cestopisné črty o plavbách podél norského pobřeží se prolínají se vzpomínkami na dobu, kterou autor strávil mezi rybáři na Aljašce. Na hladinu se vynořují dávné příběhy o moři, o lodích, o chlapské vůli – žít dál svůj život, i když třeba zrovna za moc nestojí, když je zrovna nejtěžší nebo začíná v padesátých letech v komunistickém Československu. Jsou to příběhy, které se vypráví jen zřídka, a jen těm, kdo si to zaslouží. Tahle kniha je cítit dehtem, potem, solí a rybinou, ale především dnes už vzácnou opravdovostí.
„Jsou lidé, kteří o dobrodružství sní – a pak jsou čistokrevní dobrodruzi. Petr Kos patří mezi ty, kteří se nebojí zvednout kotvy a pustit se do neznáma.“
