The Invincible Brain
In just 12 weeks, you can prevent and reverse cognitive decline, boost memory and enhance mental sharpness at any age.
Dr Majid Fotuhi, PhD, world-renowned neurologist and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins, is leading the charge in revolutionising how we understand human intelligence, brain health and age-related cognitive decline. In this pioneering book, he reveals the true wonder of how the brain works and its infinite potential for growth and change. Supported by over thirty-five years of original research, The Invincible Brain demonstrates how targeted lifestyle changes can prevent, treat and even reverse mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ADHD and concussion symptoms.
Dr Fotuhi's twelve-week programme is backed by extraordinary clinical results, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, showing that more than 80% of patients achieve exceptional improvements in memory, focus and other cognitive functions. In elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment, MRIs show a 3% increase in the volume of the hippocampus, the key brain region for learning and memory.
This actionable guide provides a step-by-step formula for unlocking your brain's hidden potential, building resilience and maximizing mental acuity at any age. In this book, you'll discover:
* The Five Pillars of Brain Health: The most essential strategies to optimize fitness, sleep, nutrition, mindset and brain training for lifelong cognitive vitality.
* A New Understanding of Alzheimer's: The truth about dementia and Alzheimer's, including the latest in testing and treatment.
* Customizable Brain Exercises: Fun, scalable techniques to enhance memory, problem-solving and focus.
* A Brain-Boosting Diet Plan: A nutrient-rich plan linked to fewer Alzheimer's plaques and tangles - keeping your brain up to eighteen years younger.
* Stress Management Tools: DIY biofeedback and mindfulness practices that can boost heart rate variability; a key marker for a calmer and more resilient brain.
* Sleep Optimisation Techniques: Proven methods to boost deep sleep for overnight brain detoxification and renewal.
A teremtés tava
„Sadie Smith” – így mutatkozik be a francia vidéken található anarchista kommuna tagjainak a harmincnégy éves amerikai nő, aki tökéletes fedősztorival érkezik elvégezni küldetését. Sadie ugyanis ügynök, árnyékban mozgó megbízók parancsára igyekszik beépülni a célpontjai, a fiatal, radikális lázadók közé, akik forradalmat vizionálva az államhatalom felszámolásáról álmodoznak, ráadásul egyre közelebb kerülnek ahhoz, hogy tetté formálják az eszméiket. Sadie feladata: provokálni a tagokat, jelenteni róluk, és ha kell, megállítani őket. Bármi áron.
Azonban minden megváltozik, amikor felbukkan Bruno Lacombe, a radikálisok öreg mentora, a régmúlt megszállottja, aki csak e-mailben kommunikál a világgal, és aki szerint a modern élet problémáitól való szabaduláshoz nem a forradalom, hanem a visszatérés vezet – vissza az ősidőkig. Sadie, aki addig maga rángatta a szálakat, egyszer csak azt veszi észre: valaki más kezd játszani vele.
Rachel Kushner több irodalmi díjra jelölt regénye feszülten rétegzett thriller, szenvtelenül gyönyörű prózája egy olyan világba vezet, ahol a szerelem is fegyver, a múlt fikció, az igazság pedig csak egy újabb fedőtörténet. A teremtés tava hipnotikus olvasmány – kíméletlenül intelligens, sötéten ironikus és végzetesen lebilincselő.
When There Are No More Stars Left to Count
After a car collision ends her career as a ballet soloist with the National Dance Company in Madrid, 22-year-old Maya Rivet finds herself abandoned by her vindictive grandmother to mourn her past life alone. When she discovers some vintage photos in an old music box, Maya musters the courage to travel to Sorrento, Italy, in search of the man she suspects is her birth father.
There she meets handsome and fascinating 29-year-old Lucas Velasco, who fled Madrid years ago to escape his toxic family. He arrived in Sorrento a lost and broken young man with no plan, no resources, and no confidence. But he found a community that welcomed him with open arms and created for himself a beautifully carefree life.
Seeing the opportunity to share that warmth with Maya, who has nowhere to go, he takes her into his home, and what starts as an uplifting friendship blossoms into love. But when Lucas discovers the secrets that Maya has been keeping from him, their love is tested to the limit, and when both return to Madrid, the turmoil of family ties and conflict tear them apart. Only when they can resolve their family traumas, can they begin to find their way back to each other.
Minka.Vilemína Podhajská (1881-1963)
Osobnost Minky Podhajské zůstávala doposud mimo hlavní zájem o výtvarnou tvorbu žen počátku 20. století, možná i proto, že polovinu života prožila ve Vídni, kde se narodila a získala výtvarné vzdělání. její umělecké schopnosti zahrnovaly širokou škálu: byla malířkou, kreslířkou, ilustrátorkou hraček, návrhářkou keramických souprav - zkoušela všechno, co nejprve škola a později praxe poskytovala. Dcera českých rodičů mluvila česky, německy, francouzsky, anglicky, hrála ochotnické divadlo, zpívala, milovala cestování. První světovou válku prožila ještě ve Vídni a záhy po jejím skončení, po rozpadu Rakouska-Uherska, odešla do Prahy. Minka Podhajská spojovala dva světy - vídeňský a český: ještě v době, kdy žila ve Vídni, se aktivně zapojovala i do dění na české scéně, pracovala pro Artěl a Hořické hračkářské družstvo. Po svém přestěhování do Československa se stala profesorkou, profesionálně se věnovala návrhářství hraček a malbě. Byla komplexní umělkyní, schopnou pracovat v mnoha oborech. Získání nových informací a objev dalších děl autorky se stalo podnětem k vydání této publikace s vědomím, že nejsou vyloučeny další objevy týkající se tvorby této nevšední umělkyně. texty: Eva Neumannová (ed.), Eva Bendová, Marie Míčová grafický design: Štěpán Malovec

You with the Sad Eyes - A Memoir
Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favourite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career.
In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS. She'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully.
You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius.
In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humour and grief of life.
So here I am.
Real me.
Lots to say."

A Hanging Matter
The third volume in The Privateersman Mysteries1794: Returning to England, Harry and James become embroiled in a vicious struggle between rival smugglers played out in the English Channel.

Elites and Democracy
Why elites always rule democracies—and why recognizing that reality can help us respond to the crisis of democracy todayA central paradox of democracies is that they are always ruled by elites. What can democracy mean in this context? Today, it is often said that a populist revolt against elites is driving democratic politics throughout the West. But in Elites and Democracy, Hugo Drochon argues that democracy is more accurately and usefully understood as a perpetual struggle among competing elites—between rising elites and ruling elites. Real political change comes from the interaction between social movements and elite political institutions such as parties. But, although true democracy—the rule of the people—may never be achieved, striving towards it can bring about worthwhile democratic results.At the turn of the twentieth century, Gaetano Mosca, Vilfredo Pareto, and Robert Michels put forward “elite” theories of democracy and gave us terms such as the “ruling class” and “elites” itself. Drawing on their work and tracing the history of democratic thought through figures such as Joseph Schumpeter, Robert Dahl, C. Wright Mills, and Raymond Aron, Elites and Democracy reveals that this fundamentally elitist basis of democracy—democracy understood as competition between elites—was there all along. The challenge is to think it anew.Moving away from procedural or principled conceptions of democracy, Elites and Democracy develops a dynamic theory of democracy, one grounded in movement. With current politics defined by a populist backlash against elites, dynamic democracy offers the tools we urgently need to understand our contemporary predicament and to act upon it.

The Shop on Hidden Lane
New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz dives into an enthralling new romantic suspense novel filled with deeply entrenched grudges, psychic dangers, and a conspiracy that threatens not only two families but also the entire paranormal community. The Harper and the Wells families have regarded each other with deep suspicion for four generations. The Harpers have been known to offer their psychic talents for less-than-legal purposes, and the powerful Wells clan has a reputation for playing both sides of the street. But for all the years of history and distrust between them, there is a mysterious pact binding the two. They share the responsibility for protecting a long-buried and very dangerous secret. Sophy Harper and Luke Wells are shocked to learn that her aunt and his uncle have been sleeping together-and now they are both missing. Not only that, but the last traces of them are at the scene of a murder soaked in negative paranormal energy. Clearly, someone is willing to kill to obtain the secret their families have been charged with protecting. Despite their mutual distrust, which, as far as Sophy is concerned extends to Luke's hellhound of a dog, they both know that the terms of the pact must be honored. Their investigation uncovers a psychic trail leading to a bizarre desert art colony where nothing is as it seems. But Luke and Sophy are concealing a few secrets, too. By a strange twist of fate, a Harper and a Wells have no choice but to trust each other and the fierce attraction that is binding them as surely as the pact between the families.

Archeologie ve jménu národa a vlasti
Kniha se věnuje konferenci, která byla titulárně věnována výročí 100 let od vzniku Německé společnosti pro pravěk a ranou dobu dějinnou v Československu (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in der Tschechoslowakei), spolku sdružujícího především národnostně německé prehistoriky a zájemce o tento obor v meziválečném Československu, oficiálně konstituované 1. listopadu 1924 v Ústí nad Labem. Tematicky byla zaměřena na interetnické (česko-německé, slovensko-české, slovensko-německé, maďarsko-slovenské apod.) vztahy ve středoevropské archeologii. V prostorách konference bylo po celou dobu možné zhlédnout unikátní výstavu poštovních známek a cenin s archeologickými motivy z celého světa, nepatrnou část jedné soukromé sbírky.
