Po Marice
Marika, Jirka a jejich dva kluci byli krásná rodina. Pak si Marika nahmatala bulku v prsu. Jirkovo vyprávění a Maričiny autentické deníkové zápisky skládají příběh, který může potkat každého z nás. Jaké to je vyslechnout si fatální diagnózu? Jak s ní bojovat, když léčba nezabírá? Odkud brát sílu, když se cítíte bezmocně? Jak pomáhat, když není jak pomoct? Jak říct synům, že máma už tu není? Navzdory všemu smutku je tu stále naděje: „Protože ráno zase vstanu a udělám palačinky.“

Léto na Skotské vysočině
Ještě nedávno měla třicetiletá Paige pocit, že jde všechno přesně podle plánu – pohledný manžel, skvělá práce, roztomilá dcerka. Ale pak se to během jediného roku pokazilo. Po manželově tragické nehodě se Paige s dcerou vrací do rodného domu v malebné skotské vesničce, kde se chce pokusit dát si život opět do pořádku.
Rozhodně neplánuje, že zde potká Johnnyho, veselého a vtipného bývalého šéfkuchaře s jiskrou v oku a s dolíčky ve tvářích. Společně ochutnávají nejrůznější dobroty, hrají si s Johnnyho štěnětem, vyrážejí na výlety – a Paige zase nachází chuť do života. Dokáže se ale odpoutat od minulosti a znovu otevřít své srdce lásce?
Symbolika hebrejských znaků
Symbolika hebrejských znaků je jeden nekonečný chasidský příběh, který prostě stojí za to poznat. Ne nadarmo se stala také pevnou součástí a zároveň kořením talmudu, midrašů i kabalistické literatury – jak středověké, tak té současné. A poznat symboly jednotlivých znaků a jejich vzájemné souvztažnosti může dnešnímu čtenáři zároveň přiblížit biblický text ve zcela nových (nebo lépe řečeno staronových) souvislostech. Navíc si ověří, že tu nejde o nějaké biblické kódy, čarování s čísly nebo znásilňování textu, ale o vypracovaný systém znaků vycházející z nejstarších tradic lidstva, přírody a vesmíru. Není vyloučeno, že některým se předkládaná kniha stane dokonce vstupenkou k hlubšímu poznání jazyka bible.

The Republic of Memory
The Safina is a city ship, two hundred years into its voyage from the ruins of Earth towards a new habitable world. Its crew maintain the ship, generation after generation, while protecting their 'ancestors' - the final remnants of Earth's doomed Network Empire - by keeping them alive in cryostasis.
But a lot can change in two hundred years, and people are starting to ask questions. Why should the crew continue to toil for people none of them remember? What exactly gives Administration its authority over everyone else?
And when the blackouts start, they set in motion a chain of events that will change life on the Safina forever. A reckoning is coming. The system is only secure so long as those in power maintain the obedience of those beneath them.
And the crew has had enough.
A science fiction odyssey of breathtaking scope, The Republic of Memory is a gripping examination of what divides us, and what brings us together. This is an ambitious work of Arabfuturism, and is perfect for fans of The Expanse, A Memory Called Empire or Children of Time.

Failure
Fashion thrives on fame and success, capitalism and culture. But beneath the luster and hype, fashion is also inevitably about failure – an essential part of its history and evolution. In his contribution to the Fashion in Action series of short books rallying readers to tackle pressing issues in fashion, Nick Rees-Roberts unravels the relationship between forms of creative and commercial failure to consider how we might begin to address the systemic failings of the fashion industry today. Positing failure as a speculative way to rethink fashion and focussing on the checkered histories of a number of designers and brands, Rees-Roberts explores how forms of commercial failure within a capitalist framework might actually be productive, enabling designers to retain independence and balance by potentially opting out of the fashion establishment, if not of the system altogether. He then goes on to look at the broader systemic failures of the 21st-century fashion industry, arguing that rather than keep focussing on doing and making, we should be undoing and remaking the idea of fashion itself in order to rethink design outside of the framework of a hyper-globalized industry. By applying failure as a critical mode of inquiry, this book invites readers to consider a new direction for the future of fashion – one that values resilience and reinvention over the relentless pursuit of the next big success.
Fatherhood
An ambitious history of masculinity and family, from the Bronze Age to the contemporary 'crisis of men', Fatherhood dares to offer a more caring and affirmative vision of the roles men play at home and in the world.
What is fatherhood, and where did it come from? How has the role of men in families and society changed across thousands of years? What does the history of fatherhood reveal about what it means to be a dad today?
From the anxious philosophers of ancient Athens and Henry VIII's obsessive quest for an heir, to Charles Darwin's theories of human origins, Bob Dylan's take down of 'The Man', and beyond, historian Augustine Sedgewick shows how successive generations of men have shaped our understanding of what it means to be and have a father, and in turn our ideas of who we are, where we come from and what we are capable of.
King of the World
Revealing the extraordinary rise of a young fighter from Louisville who changed the world of sports, King of the World chronicles the incredible battles fought by Muhammad Ali inside the ring and out.
It was the night of February 25, 1964. A cloud of cigar smoke drifted through the ring lights. Cassius Clay threw punches into the gray floating haze and waited for the bell.
When Cassius Clay burst onto the sports scene in the 1950s, he broke the mould. He changed the world of sports and went on to change the world itself: from his early fights as Cassius Clay, the young, wiry man, unwilling to play the noble and grateful warrior in a white world, to becoming Muhammad Ali, the voice of black America and the most recognized face on the planet.
King of the World is the story of an incredible rise to power. With grace and power, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Remnick tells of a transcendent athlete and entertainer, a rapper before rap was born. Ali was a mirror of his era, a dynamic figure in the racial and cultural clashes of his time. King of the World is a classic biography and a book worthy of America's most dynamic modern hero.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
The Dichotomy of Leadership
Learning to find balance will lead you to victory.
Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that, in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy; a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin wrote in their bestselling first book Extreme Ownership, 'Simple, Not Easy'.
Now, in The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors provide the insight and awareness necessary for leaders to understand when to lead and when to follow, when to focus and when to detach, when to tighten the reins and when to let the team run, when to aggressively manoeuvre and when to be prudent. The life-changing guidance is essential reading for every leader and every team. Understanding how to maintain balance enables leaders to most effectively lead, accomplish their mission and achieve the ultimate goal of every team: Victory.
The second book in the phenomenally successful Extreme Ownership series.
