The Wordspotter's Guide
Olivia Swarthout, creator of the viral sensation Weird Medieval Guys, turns her idiosyncratic and humorous eye to the fascinating roots of the English language. Here, she introduces readers to wordspotting, a hobby for those who love words and their peculiarities, origins and histories. From the seemingly modern 'unfriend' - which dates back to the seventeenth century - to the revelation that the leotard was named after its inventor Jules Léotard, The Wordspotter's Guide brims with fascinating linguistic tidbits alongside advice and techniques for detecting the bizarre and unlikely commonalities between words and their meanings. An invitation to pay better attention to words and their stories, this etymological romp will bring out the wordspotter in everyone.

V bezpečí
Doktor Amir Levine, spoluautor prelomového medzinárodného bestsellera Pripútaní (o tom,
ako naše väzby z detstva ovplyvňujú partnerské vzťahy a ako nám ich rozpoznanie môže
pomôcť nájsť a udržať si lásku), prichádza s odvážnym tvrdením, že každý dospelý človek s
neistým štýlom pripútania, ho dokáže zmeniť na bezpečnejší. Vo svojej knižnej novinke
ponúka najmodernejšie nástroje, ako tento cieľ uskutočniť.
Roky po tom, čo verejnosti predstavil štýly vzťahovej väzby (časť ľudí má bezpečné
pripútanie a časť neisté – buď úzkostné, vyhýbavé, alebo ich kombinácie) a navždy zmenil
naše chápanie toho, ako sa vytvárajú vzťahy, prichádza psychiater a neurovedec Dr. Amir
Levine s brilantnou knihou V bezpečí. Táto kniha prináša zásadný posun vo vnímaní
bezpečného pripútania. Ako autor vysvetľuje, ľudia s bezpečnou vzťahovou väzbou sa cítia
prirodzene nielen vo vzťahoch, ale sú vyrovnaní aj sami so sebou. Najnovšie výskumy navyše
potvrdzujú prekvapivý fakt: bez ohľadu na mieru prežívanej neistoty sa každý dokáže
naučiť vybudovať si stabilné a bezpečné vnímanie života.
Výhody života v „bezpečnom režime“ sú ohromujúce. Takíto ľudia bývajú zdravší, lepšie
komunikujú a aj v prípade choroby čelia miernejším symptómom a lepšej psychickej kondícii.
Pri hľadaní práce sú efektívnejší a ich sebaúcta zostáva stabilná. Sú odolnejší voči
konzumnému tlaku a zdravšie pristupujú aj k sociálnym sieťam, čím eliminujú ich negatívne
dopady.
Vo svojej najnovšej knihe Dr. Levine predstavuje svoj priekopnícky prístup – terapiu a
koučing nalaďovania sa na bezpečné pripútanie. Ponúka praktické, vedecky podložené
metódy, ktoré čitateľom pomôžu budovať a upevňovať si pocit bezpečia. Ide o kľúčový
návod pre každého, kto túži po lepšom emocionálnom zdraví, hlbších vzťahoch a
naplnenejšom živote.

Mooncursed
FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR HOLLY RENEE COMES AN EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING ROMANTASY DRENCHED IN SALT AND MAGIC.
A cursed sea king, a stolen bride, and a fate meant for another.
They say madness dwells in the ocean's depths…and in the eyes of the Drowned King. Cursed to take a human bride and break her mind the moment she sees his face, the Drowned King spends his life in torment, watching. Waiting.
Lou was never meant to be chosen. Branded from birth as a saltwitch, she has always been seen as the cursed shadow of her moonblessed twin. Now, veiled and bound in marriage to a man she must never see, she's thrust into a life of ancient gods and unraveling fate…and unspeakable desire.
Yet even as fear becomes tangled with a perilous longing for the Drowned King's heated touch, the truth of her choosing looms over her like a siren's song. It rages louder with every breath she takes as whispers travel through the kingdoms: rumblings of war, of ancient goddesses awakening, of a queen with saltwater on her lips who will change everything.
There is no stopping fate, for though she was never meant to be chosen, the moon has already summoned the tide.

Blockers
A wild ride through the destruction of the American government - and the unsung heroes who tried to stop it - by the No. 1 bestselling author of The Big ShortIn early 2025, an army of young men invaded the offices of US government. Armed with laptops and sleeping bags, a raft of prejudices and a bulletproof sense of mission instilled in them by their new boss, Elon Musk, the tech bro acolytes of DOGE were on a mission to seek and destroy, by any means necessary. But once inside, they came up against a group of people whose courage, commitment and in some cases lifelong devotion to the nation they served would quickly earn them the wrath of Musk. He called them Blockers. Find the Blockers, Musk told his band of worshipful young men – and eliminate them.Blockers is the story of the unsung heroes at the heart of the most complex and powerful machine ever designed by humankind, who fought back when DOGE, and then even darker forces, wanted to smash it all up. One kept Americans’ most sensitive tax data out of the wrong hands, another made sure that politicians and civil servants played by the rules. One figured out how to stop wildfires from destroying suburban neighbourhoods, another delivered the cure to cystic fibrosis. There was also a security guard.This is a thriller about unlikely rebels and power-drunk villains. It is also a cautionary tale that asks, what do we do when the idea of public service becomes worthless? When the things we didn’t even realise we were taking for granted suddenly no longer exist. When we don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone.

Červené barety
Historie čs. výsadkového vojska
Kniha Jiřího Šolce Červené barety je tematicky rozdělena do dvou částí. V první se autor zabývá historií našeho výsadkového vojska a stručně i vývojem této zbraně obecně. Můžeme se zde tedy dočíst nejen o počátečním neúspěšném pokusu vytvořit u nás první jednotku vojenských parašutistů v letech 1938–1939, o našich výsadkářích za druhé světové války, o poválečném budování čs. výsadkového vojska a některých zajímavostech, jako například o sovětské zásilce tisícovky „nových“ padáků s výrobními značkami zatřenými barvou, aby se nedalo zjistit jejich skutečné stáří, ale i o zahraničních pokusech použit parašutisty v 1. světové válce, o meziválečném období a například o vysazení parašutistů u Arnhemu.
Druhou část své knihy pak Jiří Šolc věnoval svým vlastním vzpomínkám, ve kterých s humorem, ale rovněž s neobvyklou přímočarostí líčí své osudy v armádě i mimo ni. Kniha je, kromě fotografií, doplněna též četnými přílohami a rozsáhlým poznámkovým blokem.
