Could Try Harder
You just need to stay calm. You should be able to manage. You should have grown out of that by now. You could try harder. Eliza Fricker spent her adolescence being told all of these things, until her autism diagnosis as an adult revealed why she may not have met the expectations of others so easily. Equally, the world didn't seem to live up to the expectations she had of it. Following on from her earlier book Thumbsucker, this graphic memoir narrates the complexities of Eliza's teenage years through to the beginnings of adult relationships; exploring the key stages of life from secondary school to college and then work. It was only as an adult that Eliza heard autism being talked about and wondered about getting diagnosed. She met others who identified as neurodivergent. They shared similar stories and struggles, and so, with her own eventual diagnosis, she started to process her experiences and write about it. And while diagnosis doesn't bring all the answers, it has allowed her to look back on her younger self with a bit more understanding and compassion - something she now wishes for others. As more young people explore their neurodivergence, this book will encourage readers to take an empathetic look back at their experiences and honour the identity they have created for themselves, in response to their problematic experiences.

Thundery at Times
"An inspiring tale, brimming with can-do and positivity." - Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator"A tender, human adventure that reveals what can unfold when you honour a promise and keep paddling forwards." - Alastair Humphreys, author of MicroadventuresFrom the bestselling author of Moderate Becoming Good Later comes the hopeful, honest and humorous story of one woman's attempt to finish the challenge left to her by her brother: to sea kayak in every area of the Shipping Forecast Katie had never been in a sea kayak, but when her brother Toby died in the middle of his challenge to paddle in every area of the Shipping Forecast, she decided to honour his memory by completing his adventure. On a journey that takes her from the monotonies of motherhood in urban Barcelona to the far reaches of the Shipping Forecast through the wilds of the British Isles, Katie is forced to face her past and question her present, exploring the loss of her family members as well as her own identity. After two years of inelegant paddling and potentially worse parenting, can she complete the challenge? Thundery at Times is not a story of battling high seas or completing daring tasks, but one of making your own rules and living life to the full. It is about finding joy and hope in nature, motherhood and middle age, in nurturing your own adventures and embracing connection and peace. It is a story of female resilience in the face of adversity; of staring down grief and asking, what's possible from here? As seen on the BBC Travel Show.
Easy Rider
Easy Rider (1969) broke the mould of Hollywood studio production, making stars of Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson, and launching a new wave of radical and experimental American cinema. One of the key films of the late 60s, Easy Rider enshrined the ideals of the counterculture, but also foresaw their demise in the division and paranoia of a nation rocked by Watergate and the Vietnam War. Few films since have captured its particular blend of innocence and cynicism, hope and despair. In his illuminating study of the film, Lee Hill explores both the circumstances surrounding its making and the social and cultural forces that found expression in it. Hill argues that the role of the film’s primary screenwriter, Terry Southern, has been neglected as the exact circumstances of production, filming and editing have become lost in myth-making. Drawing on archival research and first-person interviews with Southern, Hill questions some of the legends that surround Easy Rider. In his afterword to this new edition, Hill revisits the film from the perspective of a contemporary era of political strife, and traces the subsequent fortunes of its director, producer and stars Hopper, Fonda and Nicholson in a changing Hollywood.

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.

Hororové rande
Najhoršie rande v živote môže byť tým najdôležitejším.
Raphael je nevyliečiteľne chorý a má jediné želanie – ešte raz sa zaľúbiť. Zaregistruje sa na zoznamku pre ľudí v poslednej etape života, a keď spozná Nalu, zdá sa, že medzi nimi preskočí iskra. Lenže v deň ich prvého stretnutia sa Raphaelov stav prudko zhorší, a tak pošle na rande namiesto seba svojho najlepšieho priateľa Juliusa.
Julius je zdravý športovec a o pár dní sa žení, no napriek tomu súhlasí a ocitá sa v úlohe, na ktorú nie je pripravený. Zámena identít spustí sériu komických, trápnych i prekvapivo dojímavých situácií.
Hororové rande je príbehom o láske, priateľstve, strachu zo straty a o tom, ako nás blízkosť smrti núti klásť tie najdôležitejšie otázky. Sebastian Fitzek tentoraz namiesto napätia stavia na humore, empatii a prekvapivo veľkej dávke ľudskosti – a dokazuje, že vie rozprávať rovnako pútavo aj bez trilerových zvratov.

Radičová
Kto je Iveta Radičová, keď stojí mimo kamier a objektívov fotoaparátov? Kedy a prečo si postavila obranný múr a nasadila masku chladného odstupu i nekompromisnej tvrdosti? Kým je v skutočnosti žena, ktorú označili za „politickú mŕtvolu“ a ona v prezidentských prieskumoch porazila aj Roberta Fica? Prečo sa napriek tomu nestala prvou ženou na poste hlavy štátu a skončila vo vysokej politike? Čo považuje za rodinné striebro a kedy recituje Ferlinghettiho? Prečo sa nedokáže zastaviť, keď hovorí o deťoch a sociálnej politike?
To je iba niekoľko otázok, na ktoré hľadá odpoveď prvý beletrizovaný životopis Ivety Radičovej. Kniha RADIČOVÁ však nie je tradičnou biografiou mapujúcou príbeh prvej slovenskej premiérky a profesorky sociológie. Je to skôr osobný rozhovor Ivety Radičovej s Petrom Bárdym, ktorý nám ukazuje nielen jej silu a integritu, ale aj citlivosť a zraniteľnosť.
Šéfredaktor Aktuality.sk strávil s Ivetou Radičovou desiatky hodín v osobných rozhovoroch aj vášnivých diskusiách, aby prenikol za roky budovaný obranný múr. Nezaujímala ho „iba“ Radičová – premiérka, ktorá sa pokúsila zmeniť slovenskú politiku formovanú takmer výlučne mužmi.
Chcel vedieť, aké bolo jej detstvo a dospievanie v totalite aj rodinný život so Stanom Radičom a vyrovnávanie sa (nielen) s jeho náhlym odchodom. Ako prežívala 80. roky v znormalizovanom Československu, november 1989 i turbulentné roky budovania slovenskej demokracie. Prečo chcela hrať čistú hru nielen v živote, ale aj v politike. Ako sa popasovala s pádom vlády aj odchodom z vysokej politiky. Či by vedela byť populistkou ako Fico, ak by to znamenalo koniec „našich ľudí“ v politike?
„Ten môj život, ktorý bude na pár strán... To je zvláštny pocit. Polovicu z neho som prežila v totalite a polovicu v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Nepoviem, že v slobode. Radšej zopakujem, že v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Bohužiaľ, nie sú tri polovice, čo mi je veľmi ľúto, lebo by som tú tretiu ešte potrebovala. Ale nemám ju,“ priznáva ústredná postava 280-stranovej knihy RADIČOVÁ.
Žena, ktorá odmietala robiť politiku v štýle ja tebe, ty mne a verila v silu argumentov a rozumu. Aj za cenu demisie a odchodu z politickej scény, nie však z verejného života, v ktorom je dodnes prítomná. Lebo Iveta Radičová nedokáže mlčať – slobodu i autenticitu má zapísanú v DNA. So všetkými plusmi aj mínusmi, ktoré to so sebou prináša. Aj vďaka tomu prelomila slovenské tabu, že na úrade vlády môžu sedieť len alfasamci, chladnokrvní stratégovia či populistickí krikľúni. A začala kliesniť cestu, v ktorej mohla o dekádu neskôr úspešne pokračovať i Zuzana Čaputová.
Bonusom prvej biografie slovenskej premiérky sú fotografie zo súkromného archívu Ivety Radičovej, ktoré ilustrujú silné momenty z jej detstva, dospievania, manželstva, politického aj akademického života. O unikátnu grafickú podobu obálky a zalomenie vnútra sa postarali grafická dizajnérka a výtvarníčka Mikina Dimunová a grafik Pavel Kordoš. Autorom titulného portrétu je fotograf Branislav Wáclav.
Kúpou knihy RADIČOVÁ podporíte nielen slobodnú žurnalistiku postavenú na faktoch. Časť z predaja pôjde priamo Nadácii Detského kardiocentra.

Divoké temné pobrežie
Dominic Salt a jeho tri deti sú správcami Shearwateru – malého ostrova neďaleko Antarktídy, ktorý ukrýva najväčšiu banku semien na svete. Kedysi pulzujúce výskumné centrum je dnes pre stúpajúcu hladinu oceánov takmer opustené.
Počas najhoršej búrky, akú kedy ostrov zažil, vyplaví more na breh neznámu ženu. Volá sa Rowan. Je zranená, vyčerpaná a o svojej minulosti takmer nehovorí. Rodina Saltovcov ju postupne prijíma medzi seba a zdá sa, že by mohla byť tým, čo im v izolácii chýbalo.
Lenže Rowan skrýva dôvod, prečo sa na ostrov vydala. A keď objaví sabotované rádiové spojenie a čerstvo vykopaný hrob, pochopí, že tajomstvá nemá len ona. Ako sa búrky stupňujú a ostrov sa mení na pascu, všetci stoja pred rozhodnutím, či si navzájom dokážu dôverovať natoľko, aby ochránili nielen vzácne semená, ale aj jeden druhého.
Divoké temné pobrežie je podmanivý román o strate, dôvere a láske v čase klimatickej hrozby. Psychologicky napätý a lyricky krásny príbeh o neprijateľných voľbách, ktoré robíme, aby sme ochránili tých, ktorých milujeme, aj keď sa svet okolo nás pomaly rozpadá.
Čas predátorov
Giuliano da Empoli v tejto provokatívnej knihe prináša strhujúce a miestami až mrazivé svedectvo o svete súčasnej moci. Po úspechu románu Kremeľský mág sa opäť vydáva do zákulisia globálnej politiky – od New Yorku po Rijád, od OSN až po luxusný hotel Ritz-Carlton Mohammeda bin Salmána.
Na svojej ceste sleduje novú generáciu vládcov sveta: autokratov, ktorí sa neštítia chaosu, technologických magnátov, ktorí akoby už žili v inom svete, aj silu umelej inteligencie, ktorá sa čoraz viac vymyká kontrole.
S Machiavelliho jasnozrivosťou a nadhľadom moralistu autor skúma okamih, keď sa starý poriadok rúca a rodí sa nový – tvrdší, nepredvídateľnejší a často nebezpečnejší.
Nastal čas predátorov.
Buďte boží v angličtině
Naučit se anglicky nemusí bolet, pokud máte po ruce ty správné historky. Tato kniha vás provede padesáti dvěma týdny v roce skrze ty nejlepší (i ty nejstydlivější) zážitky z mého života. Místo biflování slovíček se je naučíte přirozeně z kontextu mých chyb a vítězství, zatímco legendární Květoš vám v každé kapitole lidsky vysvětlí gramatické háčky. Je to jízda plná upřímnosti, uvolněného jazyka a humoru, který se nebojí jít občas trochu přes čáru. Zjistěte, že nejlépe se cizí jazyk učí tehdy, když se u toho královsky bavíte a přestanete se brát vážně.
Odysea
Trója padla. Vojna sa skončila. No pre Odysea sa ten najťažší boj ešte len začína.
Itačský kráľ túži len po jedinom – vrátiť sa domov k vernej Penelope a synovi Telemachovi. Keď si však znepriatelí boha morí Poseidóna, jeho cesta domov sa zmení na desaťročnú púť plnú skúšok. Odyseus čelí kyklopom, sirénam, čarodejnici Kirké, príšernej Skylle i zvodnej Kalypsó. Každá zastávka preverí jeho odvahu, dôvtip aj charakter.
Stephen Fry v závere svojej úspešnej série o gréckych mýtoch prináša podmanivé, inteligentné a vtipné prerozprávanie jedného z najväčších príbehov všetkých čias. Ctí Homéra, no zároveň mu dáva moderný rytmus a nadhľad.
Odysea je veľkolepým rozprávaním o túžbe po domove, o láske a vytrvalosti – a o tom, čo v skutočnosti znamená byť hrdinom.
Ako sa tučniak učí lietať
Všetko ide ľahšie, keď ste vo svojom živle
Obzreli ste si niekedy tučniaka? Lekár Eckart von Hirschhausen pracoval na výletnej lodi, keď ho uvidel vo voľnej prírode. Také komické, nemotorné zviera! Žiaden krk, tučné brucho, pri každom kroku sa knísal, akoby sa mal každú chvíľu prevrátiť. No len čo tučniak skočil do vody, Eckartov pohľad naň sa zmenil. Stačilo, že sa zviera ocitlo vo svojom živle a dokázalo neuveriteľné kúsky. Vtedy si uvedomil zaujímavú paralelu. Neplatí to isté aj o človeku? Príbeh o tučniakovi od Eckarta von Hirschhausena má až zarážajúco jednoduchú, a pritom zásadnú myšlienku. Každý človek dokáže naplno rozvinúť svoje silné stránky a byť šťastný, ak ho obklopuje vhodné prostredie. Pretože často nie je problém v nás, ale v okolnostiach. Stačí malá zmena a začnú sa diať zázraky. A ako na to?
Príbeh o tučniakovi sa stal vo svete hitom a teraz sa konečne objavuje v knižnej podobe s fotografiami oceňovaného Stefana Christmanna. Kniha plná liečivých nápadov je nielen obohacujúca, ale aj dojímavá a vtipná zároveň.
