Aristotles Guide to Self-Persuasion
Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing
Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones.
Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals?
Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Stranded and snowed in, the women begin to look at each other with increasing suspicion. And as tensions rise, hidden motives come to light. To survive, each woman must confront her own demons as they fight to uncover if one of them is the killer, or if something else lurks in the freezing wilderness, waiting to pick them off one by one.

Bruselský diktát aneb co školy o EU neučí, 2. vydání
Od autorů nejúspěšnějšího českého podcastu o Evropské unii Bruselský diktát přichází kniha, která dělá něco, co v české knižní produkci o EU prakticky neexistuje. Vypráví příběh. Příběh dvou set let evropské historie, která vyústila v Evropskou unii, jak ji známe dnes. A přitom to dělá tak, že u toho čtenář nezavře oči po třiceti stranách a usmívá se od začátku dokonce.
Kniha má dvě části. V první autoři vyprávějí, jak Evropa za dvě stě let prošla cestu od napoleonských válek přes dvě světové války až k dnešní unii dvaceti sedmi států. Bez memorování dat, bez seznamu smluv, ale s historickým nadhledem. V druhé části vás zavedou do bruselského zákulisí. Kde se rozhoduje, kdo tahá za nitky a proč naši politici v Bruselu odhlasují něco, na co pak doma nadávají.
Ondřej Houska strávil pět let jako zpravodaj v Bruselu, má doktorát z historie a dnes je redaktorem Hospodářských novin. Michal Půr je dvacetiletý mediální veterán, pět let působil jako zpravodaj ČTK v Bruselu, dnes patří k nejvlivnějším českým podcasterům. Houska přidává historický kontext a věcnou přesnost, Půr lidovou vypravěčskou energii.
Kniha sama o sobě říká, že je „chronologicky pokroucený, subjektivně vyprávěný a stylově ne úplně slušný pohled na evropskou historii." Autoři se netváří, že EU je bezchybná, ale ani že je to „tyranský levičácký moloch s přetlakem genderových komisí." Mezi tím leží reálná Evropa, kterou autoři vyprávějí s humorem, nadhledem a respektem k faktům.

The second book in the bestselling Three BFFs and a Wedding series from USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant, perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Christina Lauren, and Katherine Center.
He's the last man I should've picked for a one night stand...
See that guy over there? The insanely tall, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, scowling, "I don't drink coffee" suit?
Surprise! He's the new owner of my family's mountain cafe.
The cafe that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost thirty years ago.
The cafe that he's planning to completely gut and renovate for revenge against my family.
He's also the funny, charming, irresistible guy I spilled all of my secrets to last week.
During the hottest one-night stand of my life.
As my dog would say, woof me.
Secrets and gossip keep getting me in trouble, and I swore I was done with both, but now my family's cafe is on the line.
It's time to use every last trick I know to uncover every secret this man is hiding.
I don't care how much I liked him our first night together, or how much I keep seeing glimpses of that man beneath his gruff exterior.
One of us has to go.
It won't be me.
The Gossip & The Grump is a one night stand to enemies to lovers romcom featuring a woman desperately trying to unlearn everything she knows about everyone, a grumpy misfit hiding a secret heart of gold, an unfortunate incident with powdered cheese, and the world's biggest lap puppy. It stands alone, but you wouldn't go wrong to read The Worst Wedding Date first.

Then he's asked to protect her.
Genevieve DeGrance didn't ask for any of this.

She hates him.
He can't stand her.
And yet . . .
The more time Lance spends guarding Genevieve, the harder it becomes to remember she belongs to someone else.
And the more she uncovers about Rosebrook Falls, the more she realizes the only honest person in her life is the one man she's forbidden to want.
In a town built on secrets and lies, falling for each other could destroy them both.
But staying away might be the one fight Lance can't win.
Sirény
Lucy utíká před tím, co udělala – i před tím, co někdo udělal jí.
Pochopit ji může jen jediný člověk: její sestra Jess. Jenže když Lucy přijede do jejího opuštěného domu na útesu, po sestře v něm není ani stopy.
Lucy tak zůstane sama v městečku plném fám a podivných historek – o mužích, kteří záhadně mizí, o nalezenci z jeskyně, kterou zaplavuje příliv, o ženských hlasech, které šeptají na vlnách…
Jakmile se Lucy pustí do pátrání po Jess, tajemné hlasy rázem zesílí. Dozví se od nich o dvou sestrách, které kdysi v okovech deportovali přes celou zeměkouli až do Austrálie. O světě, v němž si muži vždycky prosadí svou. O světě, který je daleko a zároveň k uzoufání blízko. Snaží se snad přilákat ji blíž k Jess? Nebo obě sestry podlehnou tajemství minulosti a přitažlivé síle moře?
Katastrofa
Když se dopravní letadlo se třemi sty cestujícími na palubě kvůli zdravotní indispozici pilota zřítí z výšky jedenácti kilometrů nad zemí do areálu jaderné elektrárny, promění se zapadlé minnesotské městečko Waketa v epicentrum celonárodní krize, která může skončit katastrofou globálních rozměrů.
Mezinárodní stupnice hodnocení závažnosti jaderných událostí má sedm stupňů. V minulosti byly zaznamenány pouze dvě události odpovídající stupni 7, tedy velmi těžké havárii: Fukušima a Černobyl. Stupeň 8 nikdy nenastal.
Zatím.
V tomto nervydrásajícím thrilleru obyčejní lidé – pracovníci elektrárny, hasiči, učitelé i jejich příbuzní, sousedé či přátelé – čelí situaci, kdy se ocitá v sázce nejen osud Wakety, ale i celé planety. Najde v sobě hrstka statečných dost odvahy, vynalézavosti a odhodlání, aby obstála v těžké životní zkoušce?
Autorka románů Ultimátum a Havárie se vrací se třetí knihou a tentokrát jí její milované letecké prostředí poslouží jen jako odrazový můstek k mnohem napínavějšímu příběhu, v němž havárií skutečné nebezpečí teprve začíná.

The Cherokee War of 1776
The forgotten history of the US war against the Cherokee offers a crucial reframing of America's origin story. Americans remember 1776 as the year liberty was declared, the moment they cast off tyranny and proclaimed the self-evident truths of equality and freedom. But that same summer, as patriots celebrated their defiant new nation, American armies launched another campaign—this one aimed at destroying the Cherokee nation. The Cherokee War of 1776 recasts America's founding moment by tracing the importance of westward ambition and settler violence to the origins of the Revolutionary War. In this gripping and sobering book, historian Kevin Kokomoor uncovers the rarely acknowledged war waged by the emerging United States against the Cherokee people just days after the Declaration of Independence was signed. Far from a spontaneous frontier skirmish, this war was a coordinated, state-backed campaign with a clear aim: seize Indigenous land and crush Native resistance. Many of the very men who championed liberty on parchment simultaneously advocated for the wholesale destruction of a sovereign Native nation. At the heart of this story is Cherokee resistance, which was strategic, determined, and deeply rooted in community dynamics. Figures like Dragging Canoe emerged to lead a movement that endured long after American armies had burned Cherokee towns to the ground. Kokomoor foregrounds Cherokee voices, motivations, and resilience, challenging the notion that they were merely pawns in a colonial struggle and forcing us to reckon with the real costs of independence and the long fight for Indigenous sovereignty.

Natives of My Person
A profound exploration of colonialism, from one of the Caribbean's most powerful literary voices
'A novel which adds a new dimension to contemporary fiction ... Natives of My Person is above all the story of a voyage … a voyage which as in The Odyssey and Moby Dick penetrates into the very depths of a civilization' C. L. R. James
In the age of empire, the good ship Reconnaissance sets sail under its murderous Commandant. Yet this is no ordinary expedition for gold and plunder. It is a mission to create a new world in the virgin territories of San Cristobal, a fabled island shrouded in myth and promise. As the perilous voyage unfolds, however, it becomes a mirror of the colonial mind: avaricious, brutish, haunted by death and madness.
With poetic intensity and philosophical depth, this is a novel that journeys far beyond the seas it charts. Through shifting perspectives and a richly layered narrative, Lamming unearths the deep scars of conquest and the personal and political dimensions of empire - its delusions, its violence, and the haunting legacy it leaves behind.
