Easy Rider
Easy Rider (1969) broke the mould of Hollywood studio production, making stars of Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson, and launching a new wave of radical and experimental American cinema. One of the key films of the late 60s, Easy Rider enshrined the ideals of the counterculture, but also foresaw their demise in the division and paranoia of a nation rocked by Watergate and the Vietnam War. Few films since have captured its particular blend of innocence and cynicism, hope and despair. In his illuminating study of the film, Lee Hill explores both the circumstances surrounding its making and the social and cultural forces that found expression in it. Hill argues that the role of the film’s primary screenwriter, Terry Southern, has been neglected as the exact circumstances of production, filming and editing have become lost in myth-making. Drawing on archival research and first-person interviews with Southern, Hill questions some of the legends that surround Easy Rider. In his afterword to this new edition, Hill revisits the film from the perspective of a contemporary era of political strife, and traces the subsequent fortunes of its director, producer and stars Hopper, Fonda and Nicholson in a changing Hollywood.

Student Union
CLOVER ROWAN WALSH knows The Plan™.
1. Get a full ride to her dream school, Wexley University.
2. Conquer the school of business.
3. Say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck life she and her mom have known for years.
There's just one hiccup. With the first semester rapidly approaching, Clover learns her housing grant has fallen through. But a loophole presents itself: Married couples can live in the dorms for the price of one student. Clover is willing to sacrifice the sanctity of marriage . . . even if it means proposing to the one person she swore she'd never speak to again.
Bennett Andrew Graves is the only heir to the Graves Coffee empire. After spending his first year at Wexley, squeaking by in classes and becoming personally acquainted with the female student body, he is looking forward to living off campus. Until the girl he grew up with (and whom he completely devastated years ago) walks back into his life with the most absurd question: Will you marry me?
Bennett can't refuse Clover. He owes her this, but that doesn't change the fact that these two can barely carry on a conversation without getting at each other's throats. Forget about sharing a dorm-much less one bed.
But as Clover and Bennett hide the true nature of their marriage, they find that playing house isn't all that bad-especially with certain marital benefits in the mix. In fact, Clover and Bennett are soon forgetting the most important part of their fake marriage of convenience . . . that it's supposed to be fake.

Klinická kardiologie, 6. vydání
Současnou kardiologii charakterizuje obrovský objem faktů, a to faktů podstatných pro každodenní praxi. Kardiologie je však současně také jedním z nejrychleji se vyvíjejících oborů moderní medicíny. Převratné novinky, zejména v terapii, přicházejí nyní i několikrát v průběhu jednoho roku a na kardiology jsou kladeny stále vyšší nároky, aby dokázali držet krok s dynamikou oboru. Vzhledem k tomu, že 5. vydání Klinické kardiologie bylo rychle rozebráno, připravuje autorský kolektiv vedený Janem Vojáčkem a Jiřím Kettnerem další, tentokrát již 6. vydání, přepracované a aktualizované do roku 2026.
Kniha je již tradičně rozdělena do základních 11 klinických oddílů pokrývajících celou kardiologii, obsahuje souhrny pro každodenní kardiologickou praxi, včetně přístupu k nemocnému a rozhodovacích procesů v kardiologii. Na publikaci se podílela řada předních českých kardiologů a podává logicky uspořádaný přehled nejdůležitějších a aktualizovaných praktických znalostí z oblasti celé kardiologie a angiologie. Velkou předností knihy je to, že se autorům podařilo velmi racionálně vše uspořádat do jednodílné publikace s velkým množstvím přehledných grafů, tabulek a obrázků. Předchozí vydání knihy Klinická kardiologie byla Českou kardiologickou společností zařazena do seznamu doporučené literatury pro kardiologickou atestaci. Kniha byla vyznamenána a doporučena jako učebnice k atestaci Českou angiologickou společností.
