'Whatever ideas, plans and dreams you have, you've got to go for them! Be your biggest supporter, learn to eradicate the doubts in your mind, embrace the rejections and start opening doors...'
Reggie Nelson had a tough childhood growing up on a council estate in east London. His father suddenly died and his mother had to work multiple jobs just to get by.

After catching an episode of How'd You Get So Rich?, Reggie was inspired to get any advice he could to help him turn his life around. So, he got on a train to London's most affluent areas and started knocking on doors. What he found was more powerful than he thought possible - and changed the course of his life.

A rangidős bölcsessége
William McRaven négycsillagos tengernagy, az Egyesült Államok Haditengerészetének nyugállományú tagja közel négy évtizedes katonai pályát tudhat maga mögött. Utolsó aktív éveiben ő volt a Bullfrog, vagyis az Ökörbéka, azaz a leghosszabb ideje aktív szolgálatban lévő, rangidős SEAL.
A vezetés szinte minden elképzelhető kihívásával szembesült: harci műveleteket irányított – többek között Szaddám Huszein elfogását, Phillips kapitány kiszabadítását, valamint az Oszáma bin Láden elleni rajtaütést. Ebben az inspiráló kötetben rendkívüli életútja és más elismert vezetők tapasztalatai alapján válsághelyzetekről, vezetői és etikai dilemmákról, valamint átfogó szervezeti átalakításokról szóló történeteken keresztül megismerhetjük a csúcsteljesítményre képes vezető jellemzőit.
Sněžný měsíc, 3. vydání
Realitní agentka Olga byla zavražděna na odlehlém místě v Beskydech před roubenkou, kterou nabízela k prodeji. Stalo se to jen několik měsíců po vraždě jiné makléřky. Oba případy spojují podobné okolnosti, a navíc se zavražděné ženy mohly znát. Kriminalista Josef Bergman proto odjíždí do hor a pátrá mezi místními obyvateli. Není to však jednoduché, protože obyvatelé horských samot jsou nedůvěřiví a uzavření a spousta z nich má tajemství, o která se s Bergmanem rozhodně dělit nechtějí.

The AI Con
A smart, incisive take-down of so-called 'artificial intelligence', exposing the real harm these technologies do to our jobs, health, society and environment, who stands to gain from them, and how to fight back.
Have tech companies created artificial minds? Are they going to replace all our jobs? Will they take over the world?
The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of The AI Con make clear, are 'no', 'they wish' and 'LOL, definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism and devalue human creativity in order to replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines.
Packed with real-world examples of the injustices and harms already being done in the name of 'AI', The AI Con arms you to spot the hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation it aims to hide and push back against it at work and in your daily life.
The Amateur
A riveting thriller about an ordinary man's quest for extraordinary vengeance
Charlie Heller is a cryptographer not a spy, let alone an assassin. But the murder of his fiancée and the failure of the CIA to follow up on the case makes everything different. Heller uses his contacts to get behind the Iron Curtain himself and to pursue the three men who killed her.
The Amateur is a richly enjoyable thriller. Heller is a total amateur. He is very clever but he has no idea about spy-craft and no sense of what the real stakes are. But as a total amateur with no knowledge of the rules of the game, perhaps he can almost accidentally outwit his enemies, both in the Warsaw Pact and in the CIA itself?
Orator
A gripping new biography of one of the most influential and fascinating figures in classical history: Cicero
When the Roman statesman Cicero was murdered in 43 BCE, his head was cut off and his tongue pierced with pins - a final, brutal act of revenge against a man whose words had shaped a generation and made him many enemies. Rising from provincial obscurity to the highest elected office in Rome, Cicero became the greatest orator of his age, a figure who believed that speech itself could defend a republic.
Yet Cicero was far more than a master of rhetoric. His long and turbulent life unfolded alongside the collapse of the Roman Republic, and often at its very centre. He moved among Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, crushed a conspiracy that threatened the foundations of Rome and cast himself as the republic's last hope. His writings on politics, philosophy and society would prove enormously influential, while his uneasy response to the rise of autocratic power continues to provoke admiration and debate.
In this gripping new biography, the distinguished classicist Catharine Edwards brings Cicero vividly to life, revealing both the brilliance and the contradictions of a man caught between principle and ambition. At a moment when democratic institutions feel fragile, and the power of persuasion is once again under scrutiny, Cicero's life speaks to us with renewed urgency.

Profit First
Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that:
· Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.
· A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.
· Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth.
The entrepreneur behind three multi-million dollar companies offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability.
Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows.
With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humour, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.
Tiny Speck of Black and Then Nothing
Anna has never met anybody like Loll: a British hostess at the Moonglow bar in the Japanese city of Osaka. With her blonde wigs and shimmering dresses, Loll cuts a mesmerising figure. But Anna is troubled by the secrets Loll hides; the identity of her best client with shadowy links to the city's crime underworld; and the sight Anna witnesses one afternoon: Loll teetering on the edge of a railway track, caught in the deafening rush as a train hurtles by.
Whereas Anna has come to Osaka to learn more about her half-Japanese heritage, Loll has no clear reason for being there and no easily discernible past. And so when she disappears, there are only the barest clues as to where she might have gone. Soon Anna is thrown onto a trail that will take her into the darkest corners of the neon-choked metropolis - hidden, forbidden places from which those who know the city best warn her to stay away.

Harun is a successful tech entrepreneur in Los Angeles while Roz is an artist struggling to stay afloat in Sydney, and both are determined to return something their father stole from the forests of their homeland. In their quest for redemption they grapple with the legacy of power and corruption and are haunted - by the ghosts of colonialism, the ghosts of family, the ghosts of language, and the ghosts of the forest itself.
A trailblazing journey across the globe, Fierceland is a language-bending story that weaves the past and the present into an emotionally powerful family saga that plays out at a mythical scale.

Gyilkosság a paradicsomban
Öt régi barát váratlanul meghívást kap egykori társuktól, a luxushotellánc-örökös Abigail Blythe-tól, hogy legyenek jelen az új szállodájának megnyitóján Costa Rica esőerdővel szegélyezett tengerpartján. Nem haboznak eleget tenni a meghívásnak, bár igencsak meglepi őket: Abigail ugyanis tíz éve eltűnt az életükből, és hiába próbáltak kapcsolatba lépni vele, nem válaszolt az üzeneteikre. Utoljára akkor látták, amikor egyetemistaként együtt utazták be Közép-Amerikát egy olyan nyaraláson, amelyről nem mindenki tért vissza ugyanúgy, mint ahogyan elindult.
A dzsungel buja zöldje és a fényűző környezet elsőre mindent feledtetni látszik. De a felszín alatt ott lappanganak a múlt árnyai: régi sérelmek, kimondatlan feszültségek, elfojtott emlékek. Tíz év ide vagy oda, az idő nem oldott meg semmit.
Amikor a megnyitó estéjén a társaság egy holttestre bukkan, gyorsan kiderül, hogy a saját körükön belül kell keresniük a gyilkost. Valaki közülük nem mond igazat, vagy legalábbis többet tud annál, mint amennyit elárul. És ahogy a múlt mozaikdarabkái lassan összeállnak, egyre világosabbá válik, hogy egyikük mindenáron meg akar őrizni egy régi titkot – még akkor is, ha ezért még több vérnek kell folynia…
Pop Scars
*THE HEARTBREAKING, FUNNY AND SHOCKINGLY HONEST MEMOIR FROM ANTHONY KAVANAGH, AKA 90S POP STAR AND HEARTTHROB, KAVANA*
'My name is Anthony, but some people know me as Kavana or Kav. I've been called a pop star, a has-been, a heartthrob and a mess. I've been all of them. I once thought fame would give me everything I wanted. Wrong wish. This is my story about life as a 90s pop star, a lost decade in Hollywood, addiction, homelessness, and what it's like being an outsider, desperately trying to get back into a world that's moved on without you. But when things fall apart, it doesn't always mean it's the end. Sometimes it can be the making of you, just not the version you expected.'
Pop Scars is a story told with fearless honesty that's as funny as it is heartbreaking, chronicling the highs, the lows and the chaos of hitting rock bottom and then finding out that rock bottom has a basement.
