Reds
Reds tells the global history of communism, going beyond the turmoil of the 20th century, and exploring communist ideas, movements, and regimes. It starts in antiquity, not in 1917. It centres not just on the obvious leaders and thinkers but asks how the idealism of millions of working-class activists could lead to their acquiescence in mass murder, repression and social atomisation. A fact whose legacy - unfortunately - is alive and kicking in both Russia and China today. Paul Mason's startling new book will argue that the desire to live without hierarchy and property is an impulse deeply rooted in our human nature. Reds traces the history of communist ideas through revolts in the ancient and medieval worlds, and chronicles the rise of 19th century anti-capitalist movements. Using first hand testimonies of both the perpetrators and the victims, Mason gives a new and terrifying account of how the 20th century experiment in communism turned into a totalitarian nightmare. But, he argues, the story is not over. Western democracies are stagnant and lacking self-belief. Looming climate chaos demands radical economic answers. Millions of people in the global south see China's offer of authoritarian, state-led development model as a viable alternative. And among the Western left, new forms of techno-egalitarianism vie with right-wing libertarianism in the battle over the digital future.Reds will be a major analysis as we head into a dangerous new world order where China and Russia threaten major change to the world's democracies.

Cafe. Waiting. Love.

Whether it's love, a second chance or a sign of something greater. More than just an ordinary coffee shop; this is a place for serendipitous encounters.Si-ying, a young woman working at the café, harbours a secret crush on the handsome Tse-yu, who regularly visits with a new girlfriend in tow. However, her life takes a turn when she befriends the quirky and earnest Ah Tuo. He takes her on adventures and introduces her to an eclectic mix of people who aren't what they seem to be - a triad boss who is a cinephile and a laundrette owner who whips up exquisite dishes worthy of Michelin stars (but only on a Sunday!).Feelings are complicated, Si-ying learns. Within the café's walls, moments of reflection reveal profound truths. Amidst the wait for someone else, Si-ying makes her most significant journey: the one to discovering herself.** Translated from the Mandarin Chinese by Shanna Tan **

Agrippa
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Conclave and Dictator, a gripping tale of ancient Rome’s descent into dictatorshipHe was born feet first, a dangerous way to enter the world. His mother did not survive, and the nickname, Agrippa—mother killer—stuck. But the schoolyard taunting only served to harden his resolve and hone his predilection for aggression. In time, the name lost its sting and became instead a mark of his invincibility. It came to shape his destiny.Agrippa was a mere commoner, a plebeian, his father a humble Stoic, but he earned the respect and fear of his peers. He defended a bullied young boy, Octavius, who turned out to be the nephew of Caesar himself, a chance encounter that would change the trajectory of his life. He eventually joined the ranks of the legionnaires and marched against their enemies. His prowess on the battlefield spoke for itself, and Caesar relied on him to protect his favored nephew. When Caesar was murdered in the Senate, Octavius inherited the empire in name only. To assume the mantle he would have to fight for it, and Agrippa, forever by his side, would be his closest advisor and the merciless agent of his military will.As gripping and full of intrigue as his bestselling novel Conclave, Agrippa is Robert Harris’s monumental return to the world of ancient Rome on the precipice of dictatorship, a novel for our times.

Čínské myšlení a akupunktura
Akupunktura je specifická disciplína a na začátku je nejlepší mít učitele. Tím vám může být tato kniha. Kdo s akupunkturou začíná, objeví nové světy a pohled na akupunkturu jako životní filozofii. Původním posláním taoistických vnitřních umění nebylo léčení nemocí, ale kultivace jedince, snaha o sjednocení všech tří pokladů do jednoho a osvobození duše. Lidé, kteří toto pojetí pochopí, tak objeví souvislosti, o kterých neměli tušení. Tato kniha přináší pohled čínské medicíny na příčiny nemocí, popisuje školu studených a horkých nemocí a také sedmileté a osmileté životní cykly v životě muže a ženy. Zjistíte, co jsou nebeská a tělesná duše, koncept tří pokladů a pěti prvků a jejich význam v léčení. Pochopíte, co je akupunkturní bod, poznáte také třináct bodů démonů a jaké body vybrat k léčbě. Součástí knihy jsou originální autorovy mapy akupunkturních bodů a drah. Existuje řada tzv. laických postupů a metod, které s původní akupunkturou a její filozofií nemají mnoho společného.
Tato kniha vám vysvětlí důvody a také možnosti některých z nich. Zkušení akupunkturisté, zejména lékaři, vědí, jak se vyvarovat chyb. Po přečtení této knihy se těch nejvýznamnějších vyvarujete také.
