Why We Think What We Think
An eye-opening journey through the secret forces shaping our opinions, this book reveals why we think what we think - and why disagreement matters
Our opinions - whether we believe in God or in ghosts, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration, our basic sense of what's good or fair - are shaped by a breathtaking web of hidden forces. The age-old idea that our views are forged by reason and evidence alone is wrong: we are influenced by everything from the quirks of distant history, through the geology of where we grew up, to the lines of our genetic code.
This astounding book takes us through culture, biology, geography, history, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. It reveals:
why the descendants of rice farmers have different values to the descendants of grain farmers
how our physical appearance shapes the way we see the world - and why conventionally attractive people tend to support the free market
why liberals think pineapple should go on pizza, and why conservatives prefer smooth peanut butter to crunchy
why hot and humid countries favour authoritarian leaders, and drought-prone ones prefer authoritarian gods
Packed with extraordinary stories and counterintuitive discoveries, Why We Think What We Think asks a fundamental question of ourselves. If we are predisposed to our beliefs, how can we escape the bounds of our own perspective? The answer lies in disagreement. Argument is how we reason, how we think our way to a better world. To thrive, as individuals and societies, we need the other side.

Klinická kardiologie, 6. vydání
Současnou kardiologii charakterizuje obrovský objem faktů, a to faktů podstatných pro každodenní praxi. Kardiologie je však současně také jedním z nejrychleji se vyvíjejících oborů moderní medicíny. Převratné novinky, zejména v terapii, přicházejí nyní i několikrát v průběhu jednoho roku a na kardiology jsou kladeny stále vyšší nároky, aby dokázali držet krok s dynamikou oboru. Vzhledem k tomu, že 5. vydání Klinické kardiologie bylo rychle rozebráno, připravuje autorský kolektiv vedený Janem Vojáčkem a Jiřím Kettnerem další, tentokrát již 6. vydání, přepracované a aktualizované do roku 2026.
Kniha je již tradičně rozdělena do základních 11 klinických oddílů pokrývajících celou kardiologii, obsahuje souhrny pro každodenní kardiologickou praxi, včetně přístupu k nemocnému a rozhodovacích procesů v kardiologii. Na publikaci se podílela řada předních českých kardiologů a podává logicky uspořádaný přehled nejdůležitějších a aktualizovaných praktických znalostí z oblasti celé kardiologie a angiologie. Velkou předností knihy je to, že se autorům podařilo velmi racionálně vše uspořádat do jednodílné publikace s velkým množstvím přehledných grafů, tabulek a obrázků. Předchozí vydání knihy Klinická kardiologie byla Českou kardiologickou společností zařazena do seznamu doporučené literatury pro kardiologickou atestaci. Kniha byla vyznamenána a doporučena jako učebnice k atestaci Českou angiologickou společností.

Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách
Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách je jedno z nejsložitějších, a přesto nejméně systematicky uchopených témat českého podnikatelského prostředí. Kniha je srozumitelným a praktickým průvodcem mezigeneračním předáním majetku, řízení i hodnot. Ukazuje, jak předcházet konfliktům mezi členy rodiny, jak vytvořit a smysluplně pracovat s rodinnou ústavou a jak přemýšlet o její právní roli. Vysvětluje, jaké možnosti nabízejí majetkové struktury, jako jsou svěřenské či nadační fondy, a jak nastavit jejich fungování tak, aby obstály i při náhlém výpadku zakladatele.
Autorka propojuje téměř desetiletou praxi s hlubokým právním zázemím a přináší odpovědi na otázky, které si podnikatelské rodiny kladou, ale jen zřídka nacházejí ucelené a odpovědné vysvětlení.
Student Union
CLOVER ROWAN WALSH knows The Plan™.
1. Get a full ride to her dream school, Wexley University.
2. Conquer the school of business.
3. Say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck life she and her mom have known for years.
There's just one hiccup. With the first semester rapidly approaching, Clover learns her housing grant has fallen through. But a loophole presents itself: Married couples can live in the dorms for the price of one student. Clover is willing to sacrifice the sanctity of marriage . . . even if it means proposing to the one person she swore she'd never speak to again.
Bennett Andrew Graves is the only heir to the Graves Coffee empire. After spending his first year at Wexley, squeaking by in classes and becoming personally acquainted with the female student body, he is looking forward to living off campus. Until the girl he grew up with (and whom he completely devastated years ago) walks back into his life with the most absurd question: Will you marry me?
Bennett can't refuse Clover. He owes her this, but that doesn't change the fact that these two can barely carry on a conversation without getting at each other's throats. Forget about sharing a dorm-much less one bed.
But as Clover and Bennett hide the true nature of their marriage, they find that playing house isn't all that bad-especially with certain marital benefits in the mix. In fact, Clover and Bennett are soon forgetting the most important part of their fake marriage of convenience . . . that it's supposed to be fake.
Plachý dům
Rodinné vztahy mezi dcerou, matkou a otcem tvoří osu románu Plachý dům slovenské prozaičky Barbory Hrínové. Autorka, kterou čeští čtenáři znají již ze sbírky povídek Jednorožci (2020, česky 2022), se ve své nové knize vrací k tématům blízkosti, paměti a každodennosti. Román vystavěný na čtyřvětém symfonickém půdorysu sleduje příběh stárnoucího učitele hudby Ambroze. Nahlíží jeho vztahy s nejbližšími, jeho tiché zápasy i radosti a jeho hluboký vztah k hudbě a poezii. Z různých perspektiv a prostřednictvím proměnlivých vypravěčských forem skládá autorka citlivý obraz rodiny – nenápadný, a přitom silný.

Familiar
When Cora inherits a house in rural County Down from a grandmother she never knew, she steps into a family history shaped by absence, silence, and restraint. Ballybrae House is both shelter and a place of renewal, holding the imprints of those who came before and the hope of something new. Told through the shifting perspectives of three women across generations, Familiar follows Annie as she approaches death and discovers unexpected freedom in letting go; Joyce, her daughter, almost mute with grief, who finds liberation in Cora's arrival; and Cora, who must learn to inhabit a place - and a past - that was deliberately withheld from her, and find the courage to begin again. Familiar is a story about belonging and the uneasy intimacy of family, asking what it means to survive within inherited structures - and how, at moments of rupture, those structures might be remade.
