Mezi závazkem a zradou - Hardy Billionaire Brothers 1
Můj otec stanovil jasné podmínky: jestli chci dědit, musím si vzít jeho obchodního partnera. Declan Hardy – bývalý hráč Národní fotbalové ligy, miliardář a muž, který je můj naprostý opak. Je hlasitý a spontánní, já zase tichá a opatrná. Jediné, co nás spojuje? Oba jsme součástí otcovy poslední vůle. Čeká nás rok předstíraného manželství. Rok společného života. Rok hry na dokonalý pár. Jenže čím víc času spolu trávíme, tím nejasnější je, co je lež a co pravda – a jestli naše polibky předstírá on… nebo já.

Karpatské lesostepní louky
Kniha se zaměřuje na významný přírodní fenomén střední Evropy: druhově mimořádně rozmanité louky na periferii Karpat. Na základě výsledků vlastního rozsáhlého výzkumu a rešerše dostupné literatury je autoři představují z různých hledisek, s důrazem na proměnlivost druhového složení vegetace, extrémní druhovou bohatost a jejich vývoj od konce doby ledové. Velký prostor věnují i historii výzkumu jejich flóry a vegetace. Docházejí přitom k závěru, že tyto louky jsou součástí starobylého ekosystému perikarpatské lesostepi, jehož bezlesí je udržováno prostřednictvím pravidelných disturbancí. Zásadní roli v této dynamice hrál po tisíciletí člověk spolu s pastvou velkých býložravců a požáry. Publikace poskytuje komplexní pohled na lesostepní louky a jejich ekologický význam.

The King in Yellow
I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon...
The weird tales in this book are all linked by a play, the second act of which reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to despair: The King in Yellow.
These four macabre, uncanny and unsettling stories are some of the most thrilling ever written in the field of weird fiction and since their first publication have become a cult classic, inspiring works ranging from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to True Detective.
Exit Stalin
An extraordinarily atmospheric and powerful history of the world's largest state and its decline and fall.
With Stalin's death, the Soviet Union remained a repressive, harsh and belligerent place, but one which became more predictable for its citizens and one which made a genuine attempt to create the egalitarian, progressive country that the Russian Revolution had once promised. That this attempt would fail was not clear until the 1980s.
Mark B. Smith's remarkable book recreates the day-to-day life of this vast state, the largest ever to exist. What was life like in a country which made such absolute claims for the future, which claimed to be on its way to creating a people's utopia and which, like the USA, owned enough atomic weapons to end human life on Earth?
Exit Stalin is filled with extraordinary stories about those who lived in the USSR and the distinctive and functioning civilization that they built. Many of them embraced its values, understood its goals and could not imagine life outside such a vastly ambitious and progressive project. The shortages, coercion and incompetence that underlay the USSR - and which by the late 1980s would doom it - has to be understood alongside the acceptance it always had from many of its citizens. And this in turn is a crucial issue for understanding Russia and the rest of the former Soviet Union in the 21st century.
Human Capital
Does the education system make better people? Why are so many - teachers and students alike - stressed and dissatisfied? Do we need to revive real education?
Ideally, education is about the pursuit of truth, beauty and morality. But in the last few decades, a perilous fixation with human capital - skills, knowledge and aptitudes required for the labour market - has trampled over curricula, schools and universities. Rather than learning how to think critically about the world, from cradle to grave students are trained to be more effective workers, to make more money, and to serve an hegemonic ideology. Teachers and researchers are pressed to serve those goals.
In this concluding book in his series on the commons, Guy Standing shows us how education - intrinsically a common public good - has been enclosed, privatised, financialised and corrupted, turned into an instrument of societal control, not human emancipation, weakening democracy, not strengthening it. Human Capital charts how the education industry largely serves commercial interests, not its teachers and students, and considers how to revive its lost values, to save society for the common good.

The Great Siege of Malta
'An epic account … myth-busting … Bull writes with knightly brio and packs a great deal of local and global history into his authoritative book’ Pratinav Anil, The TimesA major new history of the epic siege of the island fortress of MaltaEven as the great siege began it was understood by both sides to be an epic – a potentially decisive encounter between an uneasy assortment of soldiers, native Maltese, adventurers and Knights Hospitaller on a strategically crucial but near waterless island and a vast, seemingly all-powerful Ottoman armada. With three quarters of the Mediterranean’s coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta. This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context. While since mistakenly recast as a climactic battle between the West and the East, it was also much more interesting and nuanced than that – both sides had many other interests and priorities beyond Malta. Süleyman the Magnificent had conquered and subsumed regions from Hungary to the Persian Gulf; Philip II was building an empire in America and Asia. Drawing on a wide range of eyewitness stories, Marcus Bull gives a vivid sense of the period’s technologies, values and assumptions. It was a grim world built on the labour of many thousands of disposable galley-slaves, shockingly brutal forms of warfare and religious absolutism. But it was also a world filled with the most extraordinary new discoveries and ideas. Both these worlds come together in the siege and in this book.
