A Fighter Pilot’s War
Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937. He was posted to 56 Squadron and in 1940 he served for several weeks as personal assistant to Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, before flying throughout the height of the Battle of Britain. In the spring of 1941, promoted to Acting Squadron Leader, Brooker commanded No.1 Squadron during the Blitz; for this he was awarded the D.F.C. After being posted to Singapore late in 1941, where he led Nos. 232 and 242 squadrons fighting the Japanese invasion, he was evacuated on the last flight out of Bandoeng, Java, to Australia in March 1942. For his gallantry, determination in the face of heavy odds during the fall of Singapore, Brooker was awarded a Bar to the D.F.C. In the spring of 1944, Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 123 Wing of Hawker Typhoons at RAF Thorney Island, in preparation for the liberation of Europe. Exhausted after an intensive spell of operational flying during and after D-Day, Brooker was taken off flying in July and sent to complete the Senior Staff Officers’ course at the RAF Staff College. At this time, he was awarded the DSO. In January 1945 Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 122 Wing operating Hawker Tempest Vs, initially in Holland and then in Germany. In this period he was awarded a Bar to his DSO – but it was an award that was made posthumously. It was from Rheine-Hopsten in Germany that Peter took off on the evening, of 16 April 1945, and failed to return, just twenty-two days from VE Day. His aircraft and his remains have never been accounted for. However, the answers to the mystery and controversy surrounding Brooker’s disappearance are finally revealed in this detailed biography.

Nerovně sjednoceni
Přestože od pádu Berlínské zdi uplynulo již víc než třicet pět let, zůstává Německo zemí, kterou stále prostupují rozdíly mezi bývalým Východem a Západem. Renomovaný německý sociolog ve své oceněné knize analyzuje, proč proces znovusjednocení nepřinesl očekávané vyrovnání životních podmínek, zkušeností ani identit. Na základě dat, výzkumů i osobních svědectví ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi bývalou NDR a západní částí země nejsou jen ekonomické, ale také kulturní, sociální a mentální.
Kniha je podnětná nejen pro pochopení německé reality, ale i složitého procesu společenské transformace po roce 1989 v dalších středoevropských postkomunistických zemích, tedy i v České republice. Osloví čtenáře se zájmem o sociologii, moderní dějiny i současné politické dění.

O co jde? - Proč Bohu záleží na sexu
Tato kniha pomůže vašim dětem porozumět přicházející pubertě. Citlivě, ale narovinu vysvětluje změny, které se brzy začnou odehrávat v jejich těle i mysli, a na rozdíl od běžné školní sexuální výchovy ukazuje všechny tyto proměny jako součást krásného Božího stvoření.

A nakonec vám tato kniha pomůže otevřeně mluvit i o těžkých, ale důležitých tématech, jako je pornografie a sexuální zneužívání. Díky těmto rozhovorům se děti naučí, jak se chránit, a zároveň budou vědět, že se na vás mohou kdykoli obrátit o pomoc.
The Infinity Machine
A revelatory portrait of the visionary behind Google DeepMind, the race to control the future – and what it means to win.
Even in a tech world crowded with visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case. Born to working class, immigrant parents in North London, a chess prodigy by five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven-figure job offer from a video-game studio to study science at Cambridge. Long before the current obsession with AI, he founded the path-breaking company DeepMind in order to pursue a single, audacious goal: the dream of artificial superintelligence, which would solve humanity’s hardest problems, change life and work as we know it, and perhaps even unlock the deepest mysteries of the Universe. For his scientific achievements, he won a Nobel Prize in 2024, and his company, now Google DeepMind, is considered the tech giant’s engine room.
For the past three years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with him and his inner circle as well as detractors and rivals at other companies. The result is a revelation-packed portrait of a singular mind and a historic reckoning with the AI revolution, a shift potentially more significant than any since the dawn of complex thought 70,000 years ago.
As Mallaby chronicles, DeepMind is locked in an arms race with Silicon Valley competitors to build artificial general intelligence, and thereby become the keeper of humanity’s future. Yet this is not a Silicon Valley story. Hassabis has remained in Britain, and unlike his rivals, his aims are not wealth and power but scientific enlightenment. Like them, however, he is haunted by the memory of Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atom bomb. He aims to control the technology, but the technology may ultimately control him – and humanity writ large.
Liars and Liaisons
Vengeance always comes with a price.

He claims it'll drive his brother mad, but the truth turns out to be more complicated than they ever imagined. Suddenly, Violet's life of secrets is unravelling at the hands of a dark, depraved man who seems to have no intentions of letting her go.
But his obsession might be exactly what puts her in danger...

Napnak és holdnak csillaga
Elora Forres a háború utáni Skócia egy elfeledett városában, Ravenmire-ban él, amíg egy naplóban talált latin mondat ki nem szakítja a saját idejéből, és 1677-be sodorja. Oda, ahol a klánok és nemesi házak közötti hatalmi harc mindennapos, a boszorkányokat üldözik, és szövetségek nélkül eltaposhatnak.
Elora hamar rájön, hogy nem bízhat senkiben, mégis kénytelen az őt védelmező klánvezér, Arden mellett maradni. A hazajutás lehetetlennek tűnik: nem emlékszik, hogyan került ide, és azt sem tudja, hogyan térhetne vissza. A beilleszkedés ígérete hamar szertefoszlik, amikor kiderül, hogy ő maga is boszorkány. Ám a mágia ebben a világban nem áldás, hanem átok. Minden varázsige fájdalomból születik, és az újabb képességek nyomot hagynak a testen vagy a lélekben. Elorának pedig muszáj túlélnie, és megtanulnia irányítani az erejét, amellyel megóvhatja azokat, akik ezen a helyen a családot jelentik számára.
Mindeközben a döntései nemcsak a saját sorsát alakítják, hanem Ardenét is, mikor megérti, hogy szeretni veszélyesebb, mint menekülni. Elora végül kénytelen szembenézni a félelmeivel, és eldönteni, hogy hajlandó-e lemondani mindarról, amit Ravenmire követel tőle – emlékekről, kapcsolatokról és akár a jövőjéről is.

Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)
A handbook for how to organize to meet immediate needs in your community and work toward lasting change.
Around the world, people are faced with crisis after crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to or actively engineer each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable members of their communities.
This survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid has been a part of all larger, powerful social movements, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Mutual aid isn't charity: it's a form of organizing where people get to create new systems of care and generosity so we can survive.
