Kniha Revitalizovaná budúcnosť – Ako klimatizovať mestá a krajinu mäkkou cestou Radoslava Dvořáka prepája svet architektúry s múdrosťou Prírody. Autor, pôvodne architekt, sa vzdáva kolón strierych v Prírode mení v pozorovateľa jej dokonalých systémov – a prináša túto skúsenosť späť do miest. V prvej časti knihy detailne popisuje, ako prírodné ekosystémy (lúky, kríky, lesy) fungujú ako sebestačné klimatizačné jednotky, ktoré zadržiavajú vodu, obnovujú pôdu a vytvárajú harmonické prostredie. S vedomosťou a poetikou odhaľuje, ako každý detail, od koreňov po listy, slúži väčšiemu celku. Druhá časť ukazuje, ako tieto princípy aplikovať v mestskom prostredí. Predstavuje „mäkkú metódu“: záhony miesto betónu, kríky ako prírodnú klimatizáciu, dažďovú vodu ako vzácny zdroj. Ponúka konkrétne riešenia, ktoré nevyžadujú revolúciu, ale pozornosť a spoluprácu s Prírodou. Kniha je určená nielen architektom a urbanistom, ale každému, kto hľadá cestu späť – alebo skôr dopredu – s Prírodou ako spojencom.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva. Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back … Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft – and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

“Cosmic Goodness reminds you what I had to learn the hard way: life gets better the moment you stop trying to control everything, trust the pull inside you, and let yourself become who you’re meant to be.” —Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins PodcastCassidy Gard embodied the energy of a 2000s rom-com heroine, exactly what she envisioned as a teen watching journalist Andie Anderson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Sharp, intuitive, and lit by ambition, she built a career at Good Morning America, navigating a hybrid world of investigative reporting, exclusive interviews with cultural icons, and the adrenaline of breaking national news. Beneath the achievement was the generational trauma she carried as the daughter of a volatile alcoholic. A girl conditioned to survive by dimming her light, she was no longer willing to let her family's dysfunction define her future. At seventeen, she left Florida for New York City, craving expansion. What followed was a whirlwind of early YouTube journalism, the identity-shaping landscapes of Los Angeles and New York, and rising through the industry while battling anxiety, depression, and perfectionism. Serendipitously, a golden thread of run-ins with “The Rockstar,” her musical hero, appeared at pivotal moments like mystical guideposts, leading her toward new people, places, and possibilities. As the world shut down, she woke up. An inner revolution pulled her toward conscious sobriety. She left the burnout loop for Montana sunsets, a cabin called Cosmic Goodness, and a partner lovingly nicknamed Squirrel she met on 2/22/22, followed by a metamorphosis into motherhood. “Cassidy Gard doesn’t just intellectually understand spiritual principles. She has lived them. She viscerally gets it, aligning the earthy and the divine in a fantastic way. What a heart, what a brain, what a writer. She hits you right between the eyes and you feel blessed.” —Marianne Williamson

'A triumph!' Yomi Adegoke, author of The List'Sparkling . . . A beautiful celebration of the everyday defiance and quiet dreams of London's Caribbean community, and what it means to belong.' Service95'Beautiful, nuanced characters that I could have spent a lifetime with.' Nathan Bryon, screenwriter of Rye LaneIn one tiny Caribbean restaurant, three friends try to build a future in a country that refuses to see them.

Mikey is angry, restless and unafraid to speak truth to power - whether through protest or paint. And Frank?

Soon Come is a rich, moving debut about migration, friendship and the spaces we create when the world gives us none.

In the same open spirit as his New York Times bestsellers Hurricanes and The Perfect Day to Boss Up, The Renaissance of a Boss gives readers a blueprint for success from one of the most prolific minds in music. Ross's epic journey takes him to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals that made him into one of the most prolific minds in music today.

'Beautiful. Entertaining. Inspiring.' Nature'Startling . . . riveting . . . hauntingly timely.' Washington Review of Books'A meditation on transformation . . . Warm [and] empathetic . . . wonderful.' Science'Startling . . . astounding . . . Animated by wonder.' MIT's UndarkMetamorphosis has always been one of biology's greatest wonders and toughest riddles. To emerge a butterfly, a caterpillar dissolves inside its chrysalis and builds a brand new brain, wings and legs. Why all this destruction and remodelling? Why all this wasted energy and tim? ren Harman beautifully unfurls the untold story of metamorphosis across two millennia, asking why it has obsessed and inspired us so profoundly. Along the way we meet poets, artists, philosophers, and a cast of scientists as colourful as the animals themselves: whether Aristotle determining cucumbers had souls, Sigmund Freud searching in vain for eel testicles, or a Japanese zoologist singing karaoke to a baby jellyfish. Taking us on an exhilarating journey through the creatures that metamorphose - a staggering three-quarters of all animal species - from starfish reproducing in reverse in ocean depths, to poison dart frogs on steaming rainforest canopies, to human adolescents struggling to control themselves, Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by explaining a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves.
