Za vším hledej pivo
Víte, jak pivo formovalo kulturu a svět kolem nás?
Láska k pivu ovlivňuje lidstvo už 13 000 let. Kněží ho využívali při náboženských obřadech, sloužilo jako platidlo pro dělníky při stavbě pyramid. Také jako bezpečný zdroj tekutin v době, kdy pít vodu znamenalo smrt. I první lednička na světě byla sestrojena právě kvůli pivu. Pivo pomohlo objevit bakterie a pivovarské kvasnice možná jednou dokážou vyřešit změnu klimatu.
V této knize se dozvíte, jak touha po dokonale načepovaném půllitru ovlivnila vývoj civilizací, vědecké objevy i politická rozhodnutí.
Vydejte se do slavných pivních destinací – na mnichovský Oktoberfest, do legendární laboratoře Carlsbergu či do St. Louis, domova Budweiseru.
Hříšná dohoda
Svatba má být tím nejšťastnějším dnem v životě, ne dnem, kdy zjistíte, že váš nastávající je nevěrný zmetek.
Při zoufalém útěku od oltáře mě zachytí silné ruce. Škoda, že patří úhlavnímu nepříteli mého ex – Oliveru Deubelovi. Je bohatý a mocný, tenhle muž je ztělesněný hřích. A nejvíc mě vytáčí, že je nejen arogantní a panovačný, ale i naprosto neodolatelný.
Když se můj svatební skandál stane virálním hitem na internetu a mně navíc hrozí vyhoštění ze země, Oliver mi nabídne pomoc – pokud spolu zničíme mého bývalého snoubence, on mi pomůže získat vízum. Podmínka? Musím se k němu nastěhovat a předstírat, že jsme spolu.
Nejradši bych se mu vysmála do obličeje, ale zjišťuji, jak krutý a nemilosrdný dokáže být. A tak se rozhodnu mu to oplatit tím, že mu udělám ze života peklo. Jenže on na to reaguje tím, že je... laskavý.
Pomalu ale jistě se hranice mezi tím, co je skutečné, a tím, co je předstírané, stírají.
Jenže Oliver není žádný Romeo a jen blázen by se do něj zamiloval.
Bohužel se obávám, že tím bláznem budu možná já.

The Art of Clear Thinking
Based on a career of making high-stakes, split-second decisions as a U.S. fighter pilot, The Art of Clear Thinking teaches readers to apply Hasard Lee''s combat-tested techniques in everyday life.
The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with fewer than one in a thousand succeeding. Pushing a cutting-edge jet to its limits at over 1,000 mph means that every split-second decision can have catastrophic consequences. This extreme environment has forged a group of warriors who for the last fifty years have been considered at the apex of decision-making theory and practice.
In The Art of Clear Thinking, Hasard Lee distills what he’s learned during his career flying some of the Air Force’s most advanced aircraft. With gripping firsthand accounts from his time as a fighter pilot and fascinating turning points throughout history, Hasard reveals powerful decision-making principles that can be used in business and in life, including:
• HOW TO LEARN BETTER AND FASTER
• CULTIVATING MENTAL TOUGHNESS
• DEVELOPING THE SKILLS TO QUICKLY ASSESS, CHOOSE, AND EXECUTE
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE
Hasard has used and taught these techniques across the full spectrum of human endeavors and proven their effectiveness in both the cockpit and the boardroom. Those who have already benefited include CEO’s, astronauts, CIA agents, students, parents, and many others. The Art of Clear Thinking is a book that will change how you interact with the world around you.

The Only Cure
'A scholarly masterpiece, written by the world's greatest living authority on Freud . . . There is so much to be learned in these pages'
KARL J. FRISTON, the world's most cited neuroscientist
Once dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?
Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem, not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.
Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?
As psychiatric diagnoses soar and standard treatments continue to fail many patients, The Only Cure offers a revolutionary hope: a real science of healing, rooted in the radical idea that our suffering arises from truths we haven't yet faced.

The Myth of American Idealism
The land of the free. The home of the brave. But what has America achieved in the aim of 'spreading democracy' - except wreak havoc across the globe and establish a reckless foreign policy that serves the interest of few and has endangered all too many?
In this timely book, Noam Chomsky writing with Nathan J. Robinson, vividly traces America's pursuit of global domination - from Washington's role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - offering an incisive critique of the self-serving myths that dominant elites in the United States continue to push.
Thorough, urgent and provocative, The Myth of American Idealism offers a highly readable entry to the conclusions Noam Chomsky has come to after a lifetime of thought and activism.
The North Pole
‘Extraordinary’ ANNE APPLEBAUM‘Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation’ TELEGRAPH ‘The book of a lifetime’ ELIF SHAFAK‘The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him’ MICHAEL PALIN''Heart-catching . . . fabulous'' OBSERVER ‘A beautiful book’ ALAIN DE BOTTONThe epic adventure story of humanity’s obsession with the North Pole, from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year.Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary – the first polar explorer global celebrities – who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the ‘silver-shining vacantness’ of the North Pole.Blending memories from Kagge’s own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who’s gazed out at the horizon – and wondered what happens if you just keep walking.''As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted’ RANULPH FIENNES
All or Nothing
"He is FAKE NEWS, a total LOSER, and no one should waste their time or money in buying this boring and obviously fictitious book!" Donald Trump, President of the United States"Gripping-a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a ''life or death'' campaign." New York Times"Michael Wolff... the shrewdest and most colourful chronicler of the Trump years," Sunday TimesAll or Nothing is the final chapter in Wolff''s Fire and Fury series. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, it follows every turn of Donald Trump''s third presidential campaign. In disgrace after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and sent into exile, Trump immediately sputters back to life. To the shock of the Republican Party leadership, the Trump base has not abandoned him. Hardly a year on, he is as strong as any challenger has ever been. The American establishment is stunned by his comeback and determined to stop it and hold him accountable for his abuses of law and power. Equally, he has vowed retribution on anyone who tries to stand in his way. The 2024 presidential race is elemental: the system breaks Donald Trump or Donald Trump breaks the system.Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.Praise for Fire and Fury, Siege and Landslide"A book to shake America to its foundations" TheGuardian"Cruel, unforgiving, muckracking, scandalous. I couldn''t stop reading it." The Telegraph"Hilarious and frightening, and often reads like a Hollywood gossip column" Financial Times"Smart, vivid and intrepid," The New York Times

Lost Lambs
Think your family is dysfunctional? Meet the Flynns.
For the three Flynn daughters, it's been disastrous since their parents opened up their marriage. Abigail, the eldest, is dating an ex-soldier several years her senior nicknamed 'War Crimes Wes'. Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist. And the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to a wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone - or something - is monitoring the town's citizens.
Casting a shadow across their lives is Paul Alabaster, a nefarious local billionaire. Rumours of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with Alabaster's machinations sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy - one that may just, finally, bring them closer together.
Rippling with humour, warmth and style, Lost Lambs turns family dysfunction into an art form.
