Sum of Us
'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.
The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.
Spade Among the Rushes
One of very few books available on Moidart in the north-west of Scotland, it evokes the enchanted, magical beauty of this much-loved area of the country. Margaret Leigh was already a successful author when her longing for freedom and independence led to her decision to become a crofter in the West Highlands. These memoirs describe her attempts to transform a deserted croft into a home, and her struggles to snatch land back from the wilderness. Although far from the Blitz, the effects of the war are felt throughout the Highlands, and the rationing of food and vital materials, the battles with bureaucrats who had no understanding of a crofter’s needs, and even the appearance of a Nazi mine off the coast, all frustrate Margaret Leigh’s efforts. But despite the hardships, the land and the people of the Highlands gave her a contentment and happiness she had never known before.

Lákavá kůže
Ambiciózní gamerka a chronická lhářka Viv se po létě, kdy ji sžírala vina, vrací ke streamování na twitchi. Nikdy nikomu nepřiznala, že je zodpovědná za smrt své mladší sestry, ale doufá, že když se jí ve streamování podaří dosáhnout velkého úspěchu a vydělané peníze dá rodičům, bude to dostatečné pokání za její chyby. O víkendu před začátkem školy Viv najde perfektní hororovou hru, která jí umožní návrat na twitch, a během offline tréninku se jí jedna z postav zeptá na tajemství. Rozhodne se, že řekne pravdu o smrti své sestry, protože hra by přece tajemství nikdy nemohla vyzradit – jenže přitom do svého života nechtěně vpustí démonického dvojníka.

Everyone deserves a mentor.
For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight:
Here's how to think about choosing a job.
Here's how to be a better manager.
Here's how to approach design.
Here's how to start a company.
Here's how to run it.
Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia.
So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box.
But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks.
Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Gandolfini
Based on extensive research and original interviews, this intimate biography reveals the complexities of Gandolfini's character, his rise to fame, and his lasting impact on television and film. “A riveting look inside the mind of a towering talent, this is a must for Sopranos fans."-Publishers Weekly"A fast-moving, entertaining bio of a Hollywood mensch."-KirkusIn Gandolfini, critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini’s roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn’t until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen. Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience. More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family.

Michelangelo a jeho zázraky
„Keď som tesal sochu Dávida, bol som plný nadšenia a mal som pocit, akoby mi ruku viedol sám Boh,“ hovorí vo svojom životopise najslávnejší umelec všetkých čias, Michelangelo Buonarroti. V prvej osobe rozpráva o tom, aký bol v mladých rokoch divoch, ale aj o tom, čo ho trápilo i tešilo, prečo mal málo priateľov a prečo tak neúnavne hľadal krásu. Najprv bol sochárom, potom maliarom a napokon architektom. Dnes je jeho dielo kultúrnym dedičstvom celého ľudstva.
Kniha zo série životopisov slávnych vedcov (Myšlienky géniov), ktoré napísal a vtipne zilustroval taliansky spisovateľ Luca Novelli tak, ako keby ich rozprávali oni sami. Je to zábavný a strhujúci spôsob, ako spoznať velikánov, ktorí ovplyvnili dejiny ľudstva a zároveň priblížiť vedu i umenie mladým čitateľom.
Pre deti od 8 rokov.
