Neříkej, že učíš?!
Neříkej, že učíš!? – věta, kterou většina učitelů a učitelek důvěrně zná. Ten zvláštní údiv okolí, že se někdo rozhodl svůj čas, srdce a hlavu věnovat sborovnám, třídnicím a hlučícím dětem. Nenechte se ale zmást, tohle není čtení o osnovách. Je o osobnostech, které vás strhnou natolik, že s nimi budete chtít strávit celý večer, i kdybyste se o školství vůbec nezajímali.
Deset osobních rozhovorů a další desítky postřehů od vyučujících z celého Česka odkrývají svět, který mnohdy zůstává za zavřenými dveřmi sboroven. O strachu ze selhání, hledání vlastní cesty, vyhoření, ale také o momentech, které vracejí smysl všemu, co děláte. Nejsou to příběhy osamělých nadšenců. Je to důkaz, že u nás roste silná komunita lidí, kteří umí učit a nebojí se o tom mluvit.
Všichni, s nimiž se v knize setkáte, patří mezi finalistky a finalisty ceny Global Teacher Prize Czech Republic.

Street Fighter
My life has been an adventure from my early years in a caravan to what looks like a stunning finale. I’ve experienced lots of success and some failures along the way and have had the good fortune to meet many amazing characters across the globe. I was encouraged by my family to recount some of the adventures I have had, which includes a near death experience on a business trip in Syria early on when my close friend was executed and I was released. This was my life-changing moment. The opencast coal industry is where I made my fortune, giving me money enough to do many other things, including corporate takeovers, building and running businesses internationally, particularly in the Falkland Islands, Middle East and Africa. Investing in the world of performance cars and dealing with the mercurial characters for many years on the inside of Formula 1 racing. Always challenging and nothing easy, but a great way to spend a life, with a few lessons learnt to be passed on to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The Challenge of the Future
In an era of instability, how do we build a better futur? e live in a time of unprecedented technological change and uncertainty, from AI to transhumanism. Humankind is faced with the question of what the future will be like and – more burningly – should be like. We confront increasing dangers from geopolitical instability, war and the climate crisis that threaten to render these developments either irrelevant or deadly. The answer can’t just be to call a halt. A. C. Grayling asks the question no one else is asking. What do we wish to keep from yesterday that will help us decide today what we want and don't want tomorrow. How we might navigate the complexities to build a fairer, more equal, sustainable future.
Backstage Confidential
Backstage Confidential lifts the curtain on West End Theatre from a viewpoint rarely heard: the wings. Beginning his career at seventeen, Eden Phillips rose to become London’s youngest head flyman before veering into acting, writing and publishing — yet always remained an observer of the theatre’s hidden world. With warmth and wit, he evokes backstage work in the 1960s and ’70s: rigging sets, working the flys, operating revolves and tackling the countless unseen tasks that keep a show running. Along the way he encounters an array of theatrical greats, from Sir Noël Coward, Sir John Gielgud and Dame Judi Dench to directors Hal Prince and Harold Pinter. A lively, humorous and affectionate insider’s glimpse into a golden age of British theatre.
Sublimation
What would you sacrifice for a different life?
When you emigrate, you leave a version of yourself behind. Literally. One instance crosses the border; the other instance stays trapped behind it.
Some instances keep in touch, call each other daily, synchronize their lives and minds in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Other instances, like Soyoung Rose Kang, leave home at age ten and never speak to their other selves again.
With a life of her own in New York, Rose never imagined she’d return to Korea. Then her grandfather dies and Soyoung, her Korean instance, summons her home for the funeral. But Soyoung’s motives aren’t as innocent as Rose imagined, and the consequences of Rose’s return to Seoul will change her forever.
Sublimation is a story of doppelgängers and corporate intrigue, heartbreak and betrayal. Nebula Award-winning author Isabel J. Kim has written an immigrant tale like no other, capturing the longing for another life and twisting it into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.
Kylian Mbappe - The Definitive Biography
'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' Pelé
This was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment.
In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life.
Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.

Speed
Prepare to view the world through a new lens - SPEED - a groundbreaking exploration that challenges your perceptions of life's driving force, from the internationally bestselling author
'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian
In a world that feels like it's moving faster than ever, Smil examines how our relentless pursuit of speed - in areas such as production, travel and communication - shapes not only our technological landscape but also our social and environmental realities. And through engaging anecdotes and striking statistics, Smil challenges the assumption that faster is always better.
He invites readers to reconsider the implications of our collective obsession with speed, and its intricate relationship with nature and innovation. For example, he highlights the surprising fact that erosion can actually accelerate mountain growth, and he points out that the rapid adoption of mobile phones - achieving 90 per cent penetration in just nineteen years - reflects historical patterns of technological adoption, suggesting that our world may not be moving significantly faster than in the past.
Whether exploring the tiny mites that can traverse 300 times their body length in a second or the societal impacts of high-frequency trading, Speed invites readers to engage in a more balanced conversation about the role of speed in our lives, in an age defined by haste.
Az Ex-terápia
Két gyerek, egy válás, nulla terv.
És egy srác, aki túl jól néz ki ahhoz, hogy csak barát legyen.
Laney Williamsnek három dologra lenne most sürgősen szüksége: több kávéra, kevesebb káoszra és egy kis önbizalomra.
A szerelem? Na, az biztosan nincs a listán.
Elvált. Kétgyerekes, önálló nő, aki épp próbálja kitalálni, hogyan is kell újrakezdeni az életet harminc felett – zongorával, gyerekekkel és egy rakás elfojtott ábránddal.
Amikor ideiglenesen beköltözik a gyerekkori legjobb barátnője lakásába, nem számít rá, hogy ott lakik Claire öccse is. A jóképű, tetovált, sokkal fiatalabb Aiden. Aki ráadásul valami egészen aggasztót csinál: figyel rá.
Segít neki. És… flörtöl? Megállapodnak, hogy csak rebound kapcsolat lesznek egymásnak. De mikor nem sül el jól egy ilyen zseniális ötlet?
Mi baj lehet abból, ha egy tetovált, jóképű pasival osztod meg a kanapét? (Spoiler: elég sok.)

Zakázaná láska
Josie Spencerová je rozhodnutá využít svůj nový začátek v New Yorku naplno. Radost jí dělají hlavně malé věci – dobrá pizza, skvělá hudba, béčkové filmy a pozorování světa skrze objektiv fotoaparátu. Láska? Ta pro ni zrovna není prioritou.
Grayson Harlow má do jednoduchosti daleko. Je okouzlující, inteligentní… a pevně svázaný železnými okovy rodinného impéria. Když se s Josie náhodou setká v Las Vegas, nemůže ji dostat z hlavy – je temperamentní, vášnivá a naprosto nedosažitelná.
Okamžitě mezi nimi přeskočí jiskra… a nedá mu spát.
Jenže o několik měsíců později Josie zjistí, že Grayson je její nový šéf. Přitažlivost mezi nimi se rázem stává nebezpečnou. Jeho mocná rodina Josie považuje za hrozbu – a udělá cokoli, aby se jí zbavila.
Josie tak stojí před rozhodnutím: udržet si tvrdě vydřenou práci snů nebo se vzdát všeho kvůli muži, kterému nedokáže odolat. Protože zamilovat se do Graysona Harlowa znamená riskovat mnohem více než jen zlomené srdce...
The Paranoid Style in American Politics
The classic and very funny account of the dark side of American politics
'Calm, clear, dispassionate and devastating - and a joy to read' Harper's
'Brilliant and influential … his evisceration of populism has found a new generation of readers' Guardian
'American political life … has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds'
How can a country be captured by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen? The historian Richard Hofstadter asked these questions in the 1960s, amid fears of rising extremism in America. Yet his dazzling dissection of the paranoid worldview - a brew of overheated exaggeration, suspicion and perceived victimhood that can derail entire nations - is a lesson for the ages in the seductive politics of the irrational.
In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter's incisive refusal to see these as something new. In his discussion of famous and obscure untruths, some of which have profoundly impacted American domestic and foreign policy, he provides the antidote for the present day.
'The Paranoid Style in American Politics' was first published as an essay in Harper's Magazine in late 1964 and has been argued over ever since.
