The Price of Pretty
From Sunday Times bestselling author Alex Light comes an empowering, incisive new book examining the crushing beauty standards women are subjected to – and how we can learn to fight back. In a world full of filters, tweakments, and weight-loss drugs, take back control and rewrite the rules of beauty on your own terms. Today’s unrelenting beauty standards tell women that our worth is conditional; that we aren’t good enough as we are. We fix and filter, tweak and tone, erasing ourselves to reach the ever-shifting goal of perfection. In The Price of Pretty, Sunday Times bestselling author and podcaster Alex Light investigates the forces behind today’s beauty dystopia. From the rise of new technologies and treatments framed as ‘self-care’ and the industries profiting from our insecurities, to the toxic messaging passed through generations, and how we can break the cycle. With lunchtime ‘tweakments’ on the high street, endless endorsements for weight-loss drugs, and inescapable AI images and filters, the pressure to be eternally youthful, naturally filtered and flawlessly sculpted has reached breaking point. And women are paying a high price: financially, physically, emotionally and mentally. Interrogating how we got here, Alex exposes the all-consuming cost of beauty and issues a clarion call for all of us to take control and fight back. Because here’s the truth: you were never the problem in the first place.

Blueprints
Many artists are unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common, but what if we’re wrong?
Marcus du Sautoy, acclaimed mathematician and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford, looks to art, music, design and literature to uncover the key mathematical structures that underpin both human creativity and the natural world.
Blueprints takes us from the earliest stone circles to the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier, from Bach’s circular compositions to Radiohead’s disruptive soundscapes, and from Shakespeare’s hidden numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness. Instead of polar opposites we find a complementary relationship that spans a vast historical and geographic landscape.
Whether we are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or deciphering poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry, fractals and the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and hyperbolic geometry. Nature similarly exploits these structures to achieve the wonders of our universe.
In this innovative and delightfully bold exploration of creativity, Marcus explains how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics and how a fundamental connection to the natural world intrinsically links these two subjects.

Vysocí muži jen neradi tančí
Hudba jako útočiště. Vášeň jako osud. životopisný román o Hanuši Wihanovi, violoncellistovi, který dokázal proměnit ticho v hlas a obyčejný tón v pravdu o člověku. Z Police nad Metují vede jeho cesta přes orchestry evropských měst a pražskou konzervatoř až k založení Českého kvarteta – tělesa, kde hudba přestává být Kariérou a stává se řečí duše. Kniha pulzuje emocemi přelomu 19. a 20. století: radostí z hudby, vnitřní samotou, neklidem doby i hlubokým kontrastem mezi Evropou a českým světem plným skrytých sporů. Ty se však v hudbě rozpouštějí – nebo zůstávají nevyslovené, protože skutečné soustředění patří tónu, nikoli hluku kolem.
Autor Pavel Frydrych, stejně jako Hanuš Wihan rodák z Police nad Metují, vypráví příběh muže, který nemusel tančit, aby dokázal pohnout světem.
Pevnost kořenů
Sbírka Pevnost kořenů přináší básně prostoupené tichem krajiny, hloubkou víry i naléhavostí současného světa. Autorka Marie Dolistová ve verších citlivě zachycuje proměny přírody, lidského nitra i času, který plyne mezi zrozením a odchodem. Motivy lesa, putování a světla se zde prolínají s otázkami smyslu, utrpení i naděje. Vedle meditativních a duchovně laděných básní se ve sbírce objevují i silné reflexe aktuálních událostí a bolestí světa, které kontrastují s tichou krásou haiku a obrazností přírodních scenérií. Pevnost kořenů je knihou o hledání pevného bodu v nejistém světě – o návratu k podstatě, k víře, k tichu, které dokáže nést i v časech zkoušek.

Úpadok a zánik ľudskej ríše
Nikdy v dejinách nebolo ľudstvo početnejšie - no čoskoro ho začne ubúdať.
Naša doba je jedinečná a zároveň zlomová: evolúcia sa môže vydať dvoma smermi. Skončí druh Homo sapiens ako dinosaury, alebo sa vzchopí a začne odznova?
Henry Gee, autor Stručnej histórie života na Zemi, prináša odvážne, znepokojivé, ale aj vtipné rozprávanie o osude rodu Homo. Sleduje jeho cestu, od počiatkov v Afrike, cez obdobie rozmachu a rozmanitosti, až po trimuf Homo sapiens. Kam však smerujeme teraz? Hoci človek dosiahol nevídané úspechy, jeho príbeh možno začína ísť z kopca. Názov knihy odkazuje na slávne dielo Úpadok a zánik Rímskej ríše Edwarda Gibbona, ktorý už v 18. storočí hľadal príčiny konca impéria na jeho vrchole. Platí to aj pre nás?
