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.

“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 New Yorker, NPR, and Washington Independent Review Best Book of 2025 A coming-of-age tale from one of the most successful American producers of our time, Jeffrey Seller, who is the only producer to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize–winning musicals—Hamilton and Rent. Before he was producing the musical hits of our generation, Jeffrey was just a kid coming to terms with his adoption, trying to understand his sexuality, and determined to escape his dysfunctional household in a poor neighborhood just outside Detroit. We see him find his voice through musical theater and move to New York, where he is determined to shed his past and make a name for himself on Broadway. But moving to the big city is never easy—especially not at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis—and Jeffrey learns to survive and thrive in the colorful and cutthroat world of commercial theatre. From his early days as an office assistant, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton, Jeffrey completely pulls back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals, finding new audiences, and winning a Tony Award—all the while finding himself. Told with Jeffrey’s candid and captivating voice, Theater Kid is a gripping memoir about fighting through a hardscrabble childhood to make art on one’s own terms, chasing a dream against many odds, and finding acceptance and community.
