Perlička na dně
Prostí lidé, na první pohled nijak zajímaví, vyprávějí své zážitky, přehánějí, improvizují, baví se vymýšlením a vzpomínáním, prostě „pábí“. Hovorovým jazykem se spoustou slangových výrazů zachycuje autor život z často „odvrácené strany“ a v lidech z takzvaného společenského dna nachází onu pověstnou „perličku na dně“ a proniká tak k pravému, i když v hrubé skořápce ukrytému jádru lidí. Svěžím a objevným vyprávěním dokáže Hrabal přenést vzrušení z nevyčerpatelnosti a krásy života i na čtenáře.

The O.D.D. Squad: Operation Hyperkitty
"Great read, beautifully illustrated" - Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey"Wonderfully funny, completely bonkers" -Jessica Dettmann, author of There''s No Such Book. The O.D.D.

She also . . . spends a lot of time on her phone? And actually, isn’t very good at being part of a team. Or catching bad guys. It’s almost like she doesn’t want to be part of the world’s best (kind of) superhero team.Everyone needs time to learn to be a superhero, but disasters keep striking. After a particularly wonky incident involving a pig in a hat at a power station (don''t ask, OK?), Justice City decides it’s had enough: no more O.D.D. Squad! Can the gang save the day – and themselves – before it’s too late?
What Do You Do When Your Dog Grows Old?
An inspirational poem about those friends who have loved us unconditionally
What Do You Do When Your Dog Grows Old? is a tender, poetic tribute to the dogs who've walked beside us through the seasons of life. With soft, heartfelt verse and emotional depth, Jackie Short gently guides readers through the bittersweet journey of loving-and eventually letting go of-an aging dog.

Perfect for dog lovers of all ages, this book is both a celebration and a farewell, a comforting companion for anyone facing the inevitable goodbye. A timeless keepsake. A love letter. A healing balm for the heart.
Seeing Matters
In Seeing Matters, Sarah Awad offers a psychological exploration of how images shape our actions, perceptions, and identities. She examines how we use images to symbolically and materially influence the world, others, and ourselves, while also revealing how the images around us shape our thoughts, emotions, and memories. Awad investigates the social and political dynamics of visual culture, questioning who is seen, how they are portrayed, and why these representations matter. By using clear language and real-world examples, she makes complex theories accessible to readers, offering diverse methodological approaches for analyzing a wide range of image genres – such as graffiti, digital memes, photojournalism, and caricatures. This comprehensive analysis addresses the politics of visual representation, making the book an essential guide for researchers across disciplines, while providing valuable insights into how images impact society and our everyday lives.

Revoluce. Jak ženy na dvou kolech měnily svět
Od okamžiku, kdy se ženy poprvé vyhouply do sedla jízdního kola, už nic nebylo jako dřív. Kniha Revoluce britské autorky a cyklistky Hannah Ross přináší fascinující, čtivý a inspirující příběh o tom, jak se bicykl stal nástrojem svobody, vzdoru i sebeurčení. Ross ve své knize s lehkostí propojuje historii, společenský kontext i osobní příběhy žen, které se navzdory předsudkům rozhodly sednout na kolo – a tím změnily svět.
Ross sleduje, jak byl obraz ženy na kole odjakživa politický – ať už šlo o „nepatřičně sportovní“ rebelky v šatech, nebo profesionální závodnice, které dodnes bojují o rovné příležitosti. „Muž na kole je prostě muž na kole,“ píše recenzentka Guardianu, „ale žena na kole působí politicky, nezávisle, až pobuřujícím způsobem.“ Kniha je manifestem i poctou zároveň – bohatě zdokumentovanou historií ženského cyklistického hnutí i vášnivým vyznáním svobody, kterou ženy díky jízdě na kole získaly.
Co dnes bereme jako sport a vášeň, to bylo (a stále může být) inspirativní možností, jak zlepšit svět – a nalézt vlastní svobodu.
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Founded in London in the 1880s by Freemasons, it was the world's most famous secret society. In this fresh, bracing narrative history, Felix John Taylor recounts its rise and fall through the men and women for whom the Order represented both an alternative to traditional Victorian religious values and a space for imaginative exploration.
Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors and visual artists to its ranks. It looked towards a 'golden age' of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals - class and gender were no barriers to entry - and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection that were gradually unveiled as members ascended ten 'grades'.
While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at various points more an arts club or society of writers. Political schisms and sex scandals ensured that it was short-lived, yet for many members its occult practices came to shape their work and influence the wider culture over a much longer period.
The Golden Dawn, with its role in the foundation of Wicca and modern developments in magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present-day occult revival. This visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history teases out these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.
Slepá místa medicíny
Myslíte si, že lékařská doporučení stojí na pevných důkazech?
Že když je slýcháme celý život a opakují je experti, musejí být správná?
Kéž by to platilo vždy.
Lékař a výzkumník Marty Makary přesvědčivě ukazuje, že i dnešní medicína má svá slepá místa. Tedy oblasti, kde se odborný konsenzus změnil v dogma, kde se přestaly klást otázky a kde špatné interpretace dat a tlak autorit vedly k chybám, na něž doplácejí celé generace. A možná zasáhly i vás.
Makary vás provede příběhy výzkumů, lékařských rozhodnutí a pacientů, u nichž zdravotní systém selhal – ne kvůli absenci důkazů, ale navzdory nim.
V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte:
- Epidemii alergie na arašídy nespustila příroda, ale oficiální zdravotní doporučení.
- Miliony žen přišly zbytečně o zdravé vaječníky, protože se dlouho ignorovalo skutečné místo vzniku rakoviny.
- Rutinní podávání antibiotik ničí mikrobiom a zvyšuje riziko obezity, astmatu, diabetu i duševních poruch.
- Vejce a cholesterol se nestaly obětním beránkem kvůli důkazům, ale vinou hlasitých jednotlivců.
- Hormonální substituční terapie může udělat pro zdraví žen nad padesát let víc než kterýkoli jiný lék v historii.
Tato kniha není útokem na vědu.
Je výzvou dostát jejím ideálům.

Inspirace k řešení konfliktních situací dětí a dospívajících
Svět se mění, dětská psychika a její potřeby však v základu zůstávají stejné. Přesto dnešní doba klade na rodiče, učitele a vychovatele nároky, se kterými se dřívější generace potýkat nemusely. Proč nastupuje puberta u dívek dříve než dříve? Jak sociální sítě deformují hledání vlastní identity? A kde se bere narůstající agresivita či sebedestruktivní chování u stále mladších dětí? Tato kniha nehledá viníky v genetice ani v moderních technologiích. Místo toho nabízí pohled na lidský mozek jako na fascinující, plastický orgán, který se neustále adaptuje na prostředí, v němž žije. Co v knize najdete? • Inspiraci pro praxi: Jak reagovat na běžné i specifické potíže ve vývoji dětí. • Řešení skrze příběhy: Jádro textu tvoří konkrétní, vyřešené kazuistiky z praxe, které vám ukážou, jak postupovat v reálných situacích. • Podporu vlastní kreativity: Kniha nenabízí univerzální šablony, ale povzbuzuje vás k hledání vlastních cest. Protože jen ten nápad, který přijmete za svůj, dokážete v praxi skutečně zrealizovat. Tato publikace je určena všem, kteří se odmítají vzdát před negativními trendy současnosti a věří, že správným přístupem lze mnohé ovlivnit, zmírnit či odklonit. Staňte se pro děti průvodcem ve světě, který je pro ně (i pro nás) čím dál složitější.

But all wars eventually end and as Troy falls, Penelope and Melantho must face the King s return and decide how far they will go to protect what matters most to them.
Chain of Ideas
Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities.
In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age.
But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today.
