Nejdivočejší sny
Dylan Casablancasová je pro Rhylanda Coltridge zakázané ovoce – mladší sestra nejlepšího kamaráda a žena s pořádnou dávkou problémů. Jenže když okolnosti donutí oba sehrát roli zasnoubeného páru, hra na lásku začne být až nebezpečně skutečná. Sukničkář Rhyland je přesně ten typ, kterému by se Dylan měla vyhnout, brzy ale zjišťuje, že jí dokáže nabídnout víc než jen vášeň. Jenže dohoda byla jasná: až přijde čas, jejich cesty se rozejdou. Co se ale stane, když mezi nimi začne jít o víc než jen předstírání?

Revoluce. Jak ženy na dvou kolech měnily svět
Od okamžiku, kdy se ženy poprvé vyhouply do sedla jízdního kola, už nic nebylo jako dřív. Kniha Revoluce britské autorky a cyklistky Hannah Ross přináší fascinující, čtivý a inspirující příběh o tom, jak se bicykl stal nástrojem svobody, vzdoru i sebeurčení. Ross ve své knize s lehkostí propojuje historii, společenský kontext i osobní příběhy žen, které se navzdory předsudkům rozhodly sednout na kolo – a tím změnily svět.
Ross sleduje, jak byl obraz ženy na kole odjakživa politický – ať už šlo o „nepatřičně sportovní“ rebelky v šatech, nebo profesionální závodnice, které dodnes bojují o rovné příležitosti. „Muž na kole je prostě muž na kole,“ píše recenzentka Guardianu, „ale žena na kole působí politicky, nezávisle, až pobuřujícím způsobem.“ Kniha je manifestem i poctou zároveň – bohatě zdokumentovanou historií ženského cyklistického hnutí i vášnivým vyznáním svobody, kterou ženy díky jízdě na kole získaly.
Co dnes bereme jako sport a vášeň, to bylo (a stále může být) inspirativní možností, jak zlepšit svět – a nalézt vlastní svobodu.
Inspirace k řešení konfliktních situací dětí a dospívajících
Svět se mění, dětská psychika a její potřeby však v základu zůstávají stejné. Přesto dnešní doba klade na rodiče, učitele a vychovatele nároky, se kterými se dřívější generace potýkat nemusely. Proč nastupuje puberta u dívek dříve než dříve? Jak sociální sítě deformují hledání vlastní identity? A kde se bere narůstající agresivita či sebedestruktivní chování u stále mladších dětí? Tato kniha nehledá viníky v genetice ani v moderních technologiích. Místo toho nabízí pohled na lidský mozek jako na fascinující, plastický orgán, který se neustále adaptuje na prostředí, v němž žije. Co v knize najdete? • Inspiraci pro praxi: Jak reagovat na běžné i specifické potíže ve vývoji dětí. • Řešení skrze příběhy: Jádro textu tvoří konkrétní, vyřešené kazuistiky z praxe, které vám ukážou, jak postupovat v reálných situacích. • Podporu vlastní kreativity: Kniha nenabízí univerzální šablony, ale povzbuzuje vás k hledání vlastních cest. Protože jen ten nápad, který přijmete za svůj, dokážete v praxi skutečně zrealizovat. Tato publikace je určena všem, kteří se odmítají vzdát před negativními trendy současnosti a věří, že správným přístupem lze mnohé ovlivnit, zmírnit či odklonit. Staňte se pro děti průvodcem ve světě, který je pro ně (i pro nás) čím dál složitější.
Od Roznera k Medešimu: Skica prozaického desaťročia
Kniha renomovaného slovenského literárneho vedca a kritika je súborom interpretácií ôsmich slovenských próz vydaných v uplynulom desaťročí. Sedem kapitol – Spor s dejinami, Neisté Ja, Nesamozrejmá krajina, Poviedka, Identita, Rodina, Rod, Bilancia a Cudzinec predstavujú tvorbu Jána Roznera, Ivany Dobrakovovej, Richarda Pupalu, Vandy Rozenbergovej, Veroniky Šikulovej, Pavla Vilikovského a Ivana Medešiho. Interpretácia je vedená predpokladom, že do výstavby i recepcie diel sa do istej miery premieta dobový horizont literárnosti, predstavy o podobe prózy, relevantné v čase vzniku a vydania kníh. Východiskom je hypotéza o hraničnej povahe desaťročia, predpoklad, že vo vzťahu k reflexii literárnej tvorby je krátke i dlhé zároveň.
A boldogság-akták
Képzeld el, hogy az életed egy startup. Hogyan irányítanád, hogyan tennéd a lehető legsikeresebbé?
Brooks a Harvard üzleti képzésén ,,Vezetés és boldogság" címmel tart órát. Ezek az ,,akták" a boldogság egy-egy megközelítését ragadják meg: hogyan fogadjuk el a kudarcot és hogyan a sikert? Mi a különbség a jó- és a rossz fajta időpazarlás között? Miért fontos, hogy a munkánkat elkülönítsük életünk többi területétől? Hogyan függ össze a halogatás az érzelmi állapotunkkal? Hogyan mondjunk nemet, és mit tegyünk a kiégés ellen?
E könyv nagy utat jár be az ókori filozófiától az irodalomig, a popkultúrától a mai cégek belső folyamataiig. A viselkedéstudomány köréből leszűrt megfigyelésekre alapozva mondja el, hogyan működik a boldogság. Konkrét tapasztalatokra épít, praktikus tanácsokat ad.
Ha csakis arra koncentrálsz, mondja Brooks, ami valóban számít, máris jobb esélyed van rá, hogy eléred.

Bayesian Social Science Statistics: Volume 2
This Element introduces the basics of Bayesian regression modeling using modern computational tools. This Element only assumes that the reader has taken a basic statistics course and has seen Bayesian inference at the introductory level of Gill and Bao (2024). Some matrix algebra knowledge is assumed but the authors walk carefully through the necessary structures at the start of this Element. At the end of the process readers will fully understand how Bayesian regression models are developed and estimated, including linear and nonlinear versions. The sections cover theoretical principles and real-world applications in order to provide motivation and intuition. Because Bayesian methods are intricately tied to software, code in R and Python is provided throughout.

When a smart-talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and issues a grave warning about how dangerous that would be, they decide to team up and investigate. Where have all the books gone? And can the unlikely duo overcome the challenges ahead?
Warm, wonderful and wise, The Cat Who Saved the Library is a powerful lesson never to underestimate the value of great literature, and a reminder to always think for ourselves.

The Life of the Author: Geoffrey Chaucer
Explores how generations of biographers shaped, reinvented, and fabricated the life of Geoffrey Chaucer Very little is known with certainty about Geoffrey Chaucer’s life, yet he has long been enshrined as the “Father of English Poetry.” Over six centuries, biographers have sought to craft a version of Chaucer that meets the needs of their own time, culture, and readers. In doing so, they have often blurred the boundaries between evidence and invention. In Life of the Author: Geoffrey Chaucer, Simone Celine Marshall takes a distinctive approach that examines not just Chaucer himself, but the ways in which his life story has been repeatedly fabricated and reshaped to reflect broader social, cultural, and literary currents. By analyzing over two dozen biographies, Marshall demonstrates that each one is less a faithful record of Chaucer’s life than a mirror of its own era’s priorities and prejudices. Marshall situates Chaucer within a 625-year tradition of biography-making, showing how the image of the poet has been reframed over time—from Renaissance humanist, to national literary figure, to contested cultural symbol. Structured both chronologically and thematically, the book traces episodes that have particularly exercised biographers, including Chaucer’s travels, his alleged authorship of The Testament of Love, his English identity, his entanglement with accusations of rape, and even his role in colonial contexts such as New Zealand. Throughout the text, Marshall highlights how each retelling of Chaucer’s life is also a response to shifting societal concerns—about authorship, nationhood, morality, and cultural authority. A fascinating study of how lives are written, rewritten, and continually reimagined to serve evolving generations of readers, The Life of the Author: Geoffrey Chaucer: Draws from more than two dozen biographies of Geoffrey Chaucer, spanning from 1532 to 2019Examines how biography functions not just as historical record, but as cultural and societal reflectionOffers fresh insights into Chaucer’s international reception, with particular attention to colonial and postcolonial contextsInvestigates how issues of authorship, nationalism, morality, and gender shape portrayals of Chaucer over centuriesProvides a timeline of Chaucer’s known life events alongside contemporary historical and literary milestones The Life of the Author: Geoffrey Chaucer is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates in English literature, medieval studies, and cultural history, particularly courses such as Medieval Literature, Author and Authorship Studies, and Histories of Biography within BA and MA degree programs. It is also suitable for general readers interested in Chaucer, medieval poetry, or the broader study of how literary figures are remembered and reimagined.
Psychopathy in Adolescence and its Consequences in Adulthood
What becomes of young people who display strong psychopathy traits? By combining cutting-edge research with interviews from over 500 incarcerated youth assessed for psychopathy and involved in serious, violent offenses, this book investigates whether they are destined to persist in crime throughout their lives. Evan McCuish explores not only long-term offending patterns but also psychopathy's influence on relationships, employment, substance use, and mortality. Through this, the text clarifies the meaning of the clinical construct of psychopathy and debunks myths and misconceptions popularised by the true crime genre. This allows readers to more reliably interpret the accuracy of popular culture descriptions of psychopathy. Synthesising over 100 years of research, this book defines psychopathy and contributes new knowledge to the field. It is ideal for students, scholars, and practitioners in psychology, criminology, social work, and law seeking further insight into this intriguing disorder.

The Making of the Middle Ages
Trace the tumultuous history of Europe during the Early Middle Ages through 90 specially commissioned maps and a authoritative narrative.
Medieval Europe remains a mystery to many, yet the relative dearth of information about the period cannot mask its crucial importance in history. Often mischaracterized as a time of darkness and decline, the period from AD 476 to 1000 was marked by turmoil, rebirth and transformation.
From the towering legacy of Constantine to the iron rule of Charlemagne, and the Huns, Goths and Saxons to the Slavs, Franks, Vikings, Rus, Bulgars and Magyars, John Haywood brings to life the dynamic story of how a new Europe emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. We witness the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe. This is not a tale of decline, but a saga of endurance, reinvention and remarkable strength.
