Three Revolutions
The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.
From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions.
In Three Revolutions, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world.
Here, in Simon Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, Three Revolutions raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today.

Nová matematika 1– PZ A
Prvá časť pracovného zošita s prvkami singapurskej metódy matematiky pre žiakov 1. ročníka v prvom cykle základného vzdelávania, ktorý prináša obsah v súlade s novým kurikulom. Cieľom je pochopenie podstaty matematických pojmov cez vizuálne pomôcky a logické myslenie, nie bifľovanie. Kľúčom je metóda, ktorá prechádza od konkrétnych predmetov k obrázkom a až potom k abstraktným číslam. Často sa využíva modelovanie slovných úloh pomocou blokových schém. Táto metóda je úspešná, lebo žiaci lepšie pochopia úlohy a vedia ich aj efektívnejšie riešiť. Pracovné zošity k učebnici Nová MATEMATIKA pre 1. cyklus vzdelávania 1A a 1B sú spracované v podobe pracovných listov podľa kapitol a lekcií v učebnici. Sú štruktúrované tak, aby si žiaci na príkladoch, obrázkových a slovných úlohách precvičili učivo každej kapitoly a lekcie a v závere v rámci opakovania si overili a upevnili svoje vedomosti. Úlohy tematicky často nadväzujú na učebnicu. Aj v pracovných zošitoch je zachovaná metodika singapurskej matematiky pre primárne vzdelávanie. Kladie sa dôraz na dôkladné osvojenie matematických základov a precvičovanie konceptov z učebnice.
The Beat the Pulse the Wave
Life comes at you in waves, sometimes they carry you to new shores, sometimes you risk drowning in the flood. Life is a pulse, a heart pumping the blood of now and the blood memories of the past and of your ancestors. Life is a beat, a dance, a festival where you watch Portishead in a field as the sun sets. Life is the rhythm of all three together, it is the beat, the pulse, the wave that brings you to this moment. Jeremy Dixon pauses to consider and celebrate that which was, that which is and that which could be.

The Meaning of Jungkook
Jungkook is one of the world's biggest stars, period. His first album, Golden, sold more than 2 million copies on the day of its release and stayed on the Billboard 200 for twenty-four consecutive weeks. How did a young prodigy from South Korea make music histor? he Meaning of Jungkook is an unofficial kaleidoscopic exploration of the forces that made Jungkook into the triumph he is today. This book does more than just chronicle his humble beginnings in Busan and meteoric rise to fame. A lively narrative, it places Jungkook in a larger cultural and historical context, shedding light on the inner workings of the K-pop industry, internet culture, ARMY, and more. We learn that Jungkook's ruthless work ethic is a symptom of Korean culture and its singular pursuit for excellence; his style of dance places him in the lineage of Michael Jackson; and "the soldout king" has a unique visual appeal that meets high, intensive Korean beauty standards but also subverts it with his irreverent style choices. Jungkook's success is not an accident. Talent and training, the livestreams and good looks, globalization and timing all contributed to the making of Jungkook, "the Golden Maknae," the South Korean pop superstar who overcame the odds, and through his success, changed the status quo. This is an unauthorized elevated tribute to the singer, for both his fans and others interested in the genre. Monica Kim has delivered a tour-de-force, filled with vivid detail, that makes sense of the world of a music icon who has captured the devotion of millions of fans worldwide.
