Víra vrytá pod kůži
Tetování – dnes moderní trend, dříve znak trestanců, kód kriminálního podsvětí či „exotický prvek“ vzdálených kultur. A také znamení víry v křesťanského Boha?
Autoři se obracejí k úvodním sedmi stoletím našeho letopočtu a sledují vztah prvních křesťanů k trvalému označování těla. Představují historické texty a archeologické nálezy a popisují zapomenuté významy tělesných znamení v kontextu tehdejších náboženských sporů.
Moře času
Stačí pár dní a z úplňku je nov,
svítí jen oči kocourů a sov.
Ženám se náhle nedostává slov
a začíná nám éra katastrof.
S dnešním stavem světa se Jiří Žáček vyrovnává s nadhledem. Odkládá růžové brýle a vidí obraz světa, který nepotěší, a přesto v něm objevuje krásu, radost a naději. Éra katastrof je proti humoru a zdravému rozumu bezmocná.
Zakliata panna vo Váhu a Divný Janko/Duma Bratislavská/Skamenelý/Zverbovaný a iné
Janko Kráľ, jeden z najvýraznejších predstaviteľov slovenského romantizmu, sa nám spája predovšetkým s revolučnou poéziou a silným vlasteneckým cítením. Toto dedičstvo, ale aj aj jeho básnickú obrazotvornosť, dramatickosť a hlboký vzťah k ľudovej slovesnosti pripomína výber, ktorý vychádza pri príležitosti 150. výročia autorovho úmrtia. Zakliata panna vo Váhu a divný Janko, Duma bratislavská, Duma slovenská, Skamenelý, Zverbovaný, Kríž a čiapka, Zloboh a Rozprávka o chorom kráľovi a zlatom vtáčikovi predstavujú Janka Kráľa ako básnika nepokoja, vzdoru i snového sveta, v ktorom sa prelína realita s baladickým a symbolickým rozmerom.

Consumed: How Big Brands Got Us Hooked on Plastic
Over the past seventy years, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and other consumer goods makers have harnessed single-use plastics to turbocharge their profits. They've poured billions of dollars into convincing us we need disposable diapers, cups, bags, bottles, shampoo in sachets and plastic-packaged ultra-processed foods.
We were never clamouring for any of these items, but this shift towards disposability has fundamentally transformed our daily habits. Think of toddlers kept in disposable diapers for far longer than their parents wore cloth, our obsession with bottled water and our insatiable appetite for convenient snacks and coffee. While at first we shaped plastics, somewhere along the way, plastics took over and began shaping us.
Like any addiction, our plastic habit has consequences. It is damaging our climate and biodiversity and we are only just starting to understand its effect on our own health. How did plastic take over our lives? And why have we been unable to rein it in? In investigating how we got here, Consumed arms us to make better decisions about where we go next. It is only by understanding this history that we will stop accepting the same failed solutions and demand better from the brands that got us hooked on plastic in the first place.

Faeries disappeared over one hundred years ago, as suddenly as slipping through a doorway. It was only the very foolish, or the very determined, who held out hope for their return... In the wake of World War I, the world is a decidedly unmagical place. Mouse Dunne once dreamed of becoming a Faerie anthropologist, but with one telegram, her world shattered. At the Somme, her cousin Bertie’s body disappeared into the mud, and her brother Roger came home with devastating shell shock. It was time, she knew, to put aside childish dreams. Then Mouse receives news that her uncle has left her Thistlemarsh Hall, a crumbling manor in the English countryside, once blessed by the Faerie King himself. But there is a catch: if Mouse does not rehabilitate the house in one month's time, she will forfeit her inheritance and any hope of caring for her brother. It looks impossible, until a mysterious Faerie appears with a proposition. Mouse knows better than to trust a Faerie – especially one so insufferably handsome and arrogant – but she is out of options. There are wild and magical forces at work in the house, and Mouse must confront the ghosts of her past... or lose everything.

The Longevity Nutrient
Unlock the secret to longevity with Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson’s “groundbreaking, once-in-a-century discovery” (Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author) of the molecule C15:0—an essential fat found in whole milk, cheese, and fatty fish—that can improve your health and increase your lifespan. The hunt for the holy grail of healthy aging has been ongoing for hundreds of years, and Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson may be its most unlikely champion. As a veterinary epidemiologist, she was recruited by the US Navy to lead a clinical research program to continually improve the health of Navy dolphins. Using advanced biotechnology to study the healthiest aging dolphins, she discovered C15:0, a saturated fat which has the potential to expand both the health-span and lifespan in long-lived mammals. In The Longevity Nutrient, Dr. Venn-Watson unveils the science behind C15:0, the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in nearly a hundred years. This revolutionary discovery identifies the crucial ingredient for combating chronic aging-associated diseases. This book unfolds like a detective story, bringing you along through the science and discovery of this extraordinary nutrient. The implications of adding this nutrient back into the American diet could not be more significant. Mounting scientific evidence supports that C15:0 can: - Reduce the risk of and reverse fatty liver disease. - Reduce the risk of and reverse type 2 diabetes and heart disease. - Meaningfully slow the effects of aging to improve overall well-being. Perhaps the most surprising discovery? In the end, it may just be the saturated fat that saves us all. In this “life-changing” (Thomas DeLauer, author of Intermittent Fasting Made Easy) book, Dr. Venn-Watson tells the extraordinary story of this discovery and examines the paradigm shifting implications for human health and aging. She presents the easy, practical steps for you to responsibly bring this essential C15:0 fat into your life to improve your long-term health and wellness.

As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site. While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.
