Terezka chce psíka
V tejto jedinečnej knižke deti zažijú príbehy Terezky, chameleóna Leona, žandára Neposedka a iných hrdinov.
Slová každého príbehu sú rozdelené do slabík v červenej a modrej farbe.
Písmo je ľahko čitateľné. Na zdokonalenie techniky čítania sa v knižke využíva osvedčené slabikovanie, a aby sa slabiky ľahšie čítali, sú farebne odlíšené. Tak deťom umožňujú nielen spájať ich do slov, ale aj objavovať rovnaké slabiky v rozličných slovách.
Knižka je teda výbornou pomôckou pri výučbe čítania detí, ktoré s čítaním iba začínajú, rovnako ako tých, ktoré s ním ešte majú problém.
Podsvětí Chicaga 6: Těžká koruna
Když Sebastian Gallo zahlédl, jak ji ten chlap cpe do kufru, nemohl tomu uvěřit. Byla to Jelena Jenina, jediná dcera nejkrutějšího šéfa Bratvy v Chicagu. Bratva nenávidí celou Sebastianovu rodinu a jeho strýčka dokonce upálili zaživa.
Měl Jelenu ponechat jejímu osudu, ale ona bojovala jako Valkýra – nádherná, divoká a nezlomná. Sebastian ji musel zachránit. A poté, co to mezi nimi velmi silně zajiskřilo, je mu jasné, že si ji musí také podmanit.
Jelena je odhodlaná nepodrobit se žádnému muži. Na druhou stranu ji už ale nebaví být pěšákem v otcově hře. Zatímco jejich rodiny vedou nelítostný boj po celém městě, hýbou figurkami na šachovnici a přísahají si pomstu, Sebastian se rozhodne, že bude zápasit o její srdce a svobodu – ať to stojí, co to stojí.
Ví, že jsou si souzeni.
A aby to dokázal, dotlačí ji až na hranici možností.

All Rhodes Lead Here - Minden út hozzád vezet
Egy kisváros a hegyekben. Egy második esély. Egy szerelem, ami hazavezet. Aurora De La Torre pontosan tudja, hogy nem lesz egyszerű visszaköltözni a coloradói Pagosa Springsbe. Valaha ez volt az otthona, most azonban édesanyja elvesztésének fájó emlékét őrzi. Mindent újrakezdeni enélkül sem lenne egyszerű feladat. De miután hosszú idő után szakított híres zenész pasijával, egy hegyi kisváros tökéletes menedék lehet összetört szívének. És talán a szomszédban lakó vonzó főbérlője látványa is segíthet a gyógyulásban. Csakhogy nem is Tobias Rhodes adta ki neki a lakást, hanem a kamasz fia, Amos. Rhodes mogorva, zárkózott férfi, aki vérmesen óvja a családját, és nem bízik az idegenekben, így kezdetben igyekszik távol tartani magától a mindig derűs Orát. Ám a közös erdei túrák és kandalló melletti hosszú beszélgetések lassan lebontják a falakat köztük – és szoros barátságuk hamarosan életre szóló szerelemmé mélyül. A slow burn romantikus könyvek királynője, Mariana Zapata újdonsága arról mesél, hogyan talál rá az ember a szerelemre a legváratlanabb pillanatban…

Vtělená moudrost
Moshé Feldenkrais dokázal na malé ploše vyjádřit své základní myšlenky velmi pregnantním a srozumitelným způsobem. A přece nebyly Feldenkraisovy články a rozhovory ještě nedávno běžně dostupné. Proto se editorka Elizabeth Beringerová rozhodla shromáždit veškeré autorovy texty tohoto typu z let 1964–1981. Jednotlivé texty jsou doplněny o vysvětlení kontextu a fotografické dokumenty.
Publikace shrnuje základní myšlenky Feldenkraisovy metody, například důraz na adaptabilitu organismu jako projev zdraví. Tím, že se vědomě zaměřujeme na své pohybové vzorce, zlepšujeme i své duševní fungování. Publikace rovněž propojuje Feldenkraisovu metodu s dalšími zajímavými kontexty (např. vztah sluchu a prostorové orientace, bojová umění, role předního mozku, herectví) a dokládá, že autor měl propracovaný filozofický pohled na život a byl také v kontaktu s významnými osobnostmi své doby. Některé texty obsahují konkrétní náměty na cvičení nebo vycházejí ze zkušeností se seminářem, který Feldenkrais vedl.
Having Spent Life Seeking
Rothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind.
The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there.
Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different.
A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. This book is about things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen.
A History of the Company of Pikemen and Musketeers
The Company of Pikemen and Musketeers, marching alongside the Lord Mayor’s State Coach or standing guard at City events, is one of London’s most iconic images. Established just over 100 years ago, but tracing its roots back to the seventeenth century, it is a ceremonial unit of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) and is recruited from veterans of the HAC’s Army Reserve regiment, the oldest fighting regiment in the British Army. Granted a Royal Warrant by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1955, the Company is tasked to provide a ceremonial bodyguard to the Lord Mayor of the City of London and provides guards for State Banquets at Guildhall, dinners at Mansion House and Livery halls and displays of seventeenth century arms drill at military and public events. This book tells the story of the Company, from the original pikemen and musketeers of the seventeenth century, to the foundation of the modern Company just after the Great War, its involvement in the pageantry of the inter-war years and the onslaught of the Blitz, its formal recognition by Royal Warrant and continuing evolution through 1950s’ austerity and 1960s’ affluence to the ‘end of history’ and beyond. Governments and demagogues come and go; monarchs pass from youth to old age. All the time the Company is there, lining the halls of Mansion House and Guildhall like living wallpaper as history passes in front of them. They also serve who only stand and wait.
Supplying the British Army in the First World War
Napoleon famously said that an army marches on its stomach, but it also marches in its boots and its uniforms, carrying or driving its weapons and other equipment, and all this material has to be ordered from headquarters, produced and delivered. Janet Macdonald's detailed and scholarly new study explains how this enormously complex task of organization and labour was carried out by the British army during the First World War. She describes the personnel who performed these tasks, from the government and military command in London to those who handled the items in the field. They were responsible for clothing, accommodation, medicine, transport, hand weapons, armament and communications – a vast logistical network that had evolved to keep millions of men in the field. This meticulously researched account of this important subject – one which has hitherto been neglected by military historians – will be essential reading and reference for anyone who is interested in the modern British army, in particular in its organization and performance in the First World War.
My Father Joachim von Ribbentrop
On 16 October 1946 Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler’s wartime Foreign Minister, was executed at Nuremberg, convicted on four counts including deliberately planning a war of aggression and war crimes. In this first English language edition of his memoirs, Rudolf von Ribbentrop frankly describes his relationship with his father when he was the German Ambassador in London and during the war years. Von Ribbentrop was an often isolated figure among the Nazi elite. In his final report from London he informed Hitler that he was convinced that Great Britain would fight for its position in the world. He went on to play a key role forging the short-lived Pact with Stalin’s Soviet Union. Far from being uncritical, Rudolf von Ribbentrop, in his 90s when the book was written, sets out to paint an objective picture of his father’s role. His unique position throws fascinating light on the unfolding dramatic events leading up to, and then the execution of, the Second World War. While the author briefly describes his personal experiences including his war service with the SS, it is the insight this work provides into top level decision-making at the heart of the Third Reich that will appeal most to both historians and laymen.
The Real Story of the American Revolution
The American Revolution was one of the events which shaped the modern world. It has been celebrated as a struggle for liberty and the origin of the growth of the US as a great world power. Without underplaying the achievements of the Revolution, this book takes a critical look at the myths and legends that grew up about this key event. It also gives a voice to those who suffered from opposing the Revolution and whose stories are not always remembered. It investigates the nature of what was fundamentally a civil war and looks closely at whether the ideals of the Revolution were a reality for all those caught up in what was a deadly and violent conflict. It challenges the reputation of some leading figures and the usual way that dramatic events have been portrayed, and takes a hard look at some accepted ideas about the colonial past. As well as explaining the causes and course of the war of independence, the book considers its impact on different groups, including women, Black Americans and native Americans. There are some surprising and sometimes disturbing events here, but these add to a picture of a vibrant and exciting period of history.
Broken Plea
Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road—and the results of that investigation will astound you. In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho—and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served. Broken Plea challenges that assumption. Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view. This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn’t end scrutiny but invites i? lear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens the case—and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.
