When the Revolution Comes
The outrageous, jaw-dropping true story of the man who took on a corporate giant - and won.
A dedicated and experienced Amazon employee, Chris Smalls had begun to feel frustrated by the inner workings of the retail giant - he kept being passed over for promotion, with little to no explanation. So when his colleagues and friends began falling ill in the Covid pandemic, and with no assurances of safety or even sick leave from the top, he made the only choice left available to him. He staged a walkout with friend Derrick Palmer, eventually finding himself on the picket line without a job.
What began as a demand to keep essential employees safe in a crisis would grow into a movement devoted to achieving dignity and security for the wage worker, triggering a groundswell of organizers at Starbucks, Trader Joe's, Apple - and across the world. We follow Smalls's years of sacrifice and economic uncertainty as a father of three, from fighting warehouse managerial politics in an effort to make ends meet, to his ascension as the leader of a new generation's labour movement.
When the Revolution Comes is the riveting inside story of how a young Black man from Hackensack, NJ with little-to-no resources led a scrappy band of Staten Island warehouse workers in an improbable fight against Amazon to create its first Labor Union. An exposé of life lived in the laboratory of capitalism and a terrifying depiction of what it's like to be working class in America, this book tells a new, empowering story of what is possible when the overworked, underpaid and disempowered join together, forming a movement born in community.
Retro
Ash is a failed actress who is done trying to ‘make’ something of her life when she scrolls past an ad for Retro. The algorithm thinks she can afford recreational time travel? Then she sees the caption: Come away with us! We’re hiring.
Time Travel Agents, the guides who lead ultra-wealthy explorers on trips to the past on the ‘Retro Metro’, must blend seamlessly into any historical period. Ash is a perfect fit. She’s an actress after all. Or at least she used to be.
So begins Ash’s life at Retro, chaperoning rich tourists through history’s most Instagrammable eras. She wrangles bachelorette parties chasing hunky cowboys in the Old West, throws ‘'20s for your twenties’ birthday bashes at speakeasies, and rolls her eyes at Wall Street men trying their luck in the Gold Rush.
For the first time in years, Ash’s life feels enviable. She barely notices the strange glitches in her memory or the way her present-day relationships are starting to slip.
But as the trips intensify and her present begins to fray, Ash confronts an unsettling question: Was diving into the past ever really an escape, or just another way to lose herself?

Mr Moonlight
The definitive biography of Brian Epstein - the man who made the Beatles - by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman.
Brian Epstein didn't just manage the Beatles - he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them 'bigger than Elvis', changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them 'the Boys', guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them.
Brian's achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain's image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour - and scarcely any thanks.
Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian's many trials and tribulations - how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love.
At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles' story.
America, America
The first definitive history of the Western hemisphere, a sweeping five-century narrative of North and South America that redefines our understanding of both continents - perfect for readers of How the World Made the West.
The story of the United States’ unique sense of itself was forged facing south – no less than Latin America’s was indelibly stamped by the looming colossus to the north.
In this stunningly original reinterpretation of the New World, Professor Greg Grandin reveals how the Americas emerged from constant, turbulent engagement with each other, shedding new light on well-known historical figures like Bartolomé de las Casas, Simón Bolívar and Woodrow Wilson, as well as lesser-known actors such as the Venezuelan Francisco de Miranda, who almost lost his head in the French Revolution and conspired with Alexander Hamilton to free America from Spain.
America, América traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest – the greatest mortality event in human history – through the eighteenth-century wars for independence and the Monroe Doctrine, to the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century. This monumental work of scholarship fundamentally changes our understanding of Spanish and English colonialism, slavery and racism, the rise of universal humanism, and the role of social democracy in staving off authoritarian impulses.
At once comprehensive and accessible, America, América shows how the United States and Latin America together shaped the laws, institutions, and ideals that govern the modern world. Drawing on a vast array of sources, and told with authority and flair, this is a genuinely new history of the New World.

Mediální koučink (nejen) pro firmy
Média jsou rychlejší než kdy dřív. Jedna věta vytržená z kontextu se během několika minut šíří médii, sociálními sítěmi i obchodními kruhy. Veřejná komunikace už dávno není výsadou celebrit – týká se firem, startupů, organizací i jednotlivých manažerů. A publikum je čím dál náročnější. Zajímá ho, kdo mluví, co říká a jakým způsobem. Chce autenticitu, srozumitelnost a smysl.
Právě proto je mediální příprava klíčová. Ne proto, aby někdo „vypadal dobře“, ale aby dokázal mluvit jasně, přesně a s vědomím dopadu vlastních slov. Skutečná připravenost znamená udržet směr sdělení i ve chvíli, kdy přijde nepříjemná otázka nebo tlaková situace.
S touto knihou se naučíte:
přemýšlet o sdělení, publiku i mediálním formátu,
systematicky se připravit na rozhovor,
pracovat s nepříjemnými otázkami a využívat nové nástroje včetně AI,
mluvit tak, aby vaše sdělení bylo pochopeno a správně interpretováno,
odpovídat jasněji, stručněji a s větším klidem,
nastavit jednoduché interní komunikační procesy ve firmě,
přestat řešit komunikaci až na poslední chvíli.
Média tu budou vždy. Otázka není, zda s nimi budete mluvit – ale jak dobře na to budete připraveni.

S pomocí detektiva Crumleyho a stárnoucí herečky nakonec dochází k překvapivému odhalení a zároveň i k pochopení vlastní tvůrčí síly.

Amnesia Remembered
Our modern culture is increasingly expressed in the form of digital artifacts, yet archaeology is in its infancy when it comes to researching and understanding them. The study and reverse engineering of digital artifacts is no longer the exclusive domain of computer scientists. Presented by way of analogy to the process of archaeological fieldwork familiar to readers, the 1986 Electronic Arts game Amnesia is used as a vehicle to explain the procedure and thought process required to reverse engineer a digital artifact. As a go-to reference to learn how to begin studying the digital, Amnesia is shown to be a multi-layered artifact with a complex backstory; through it, topics in data compression, copy protection, memory management, and programming languages are covered.

The Art of Uncertainty
From the UK's 'statistical national treasure', a clever and data-driven guide to how we can live with risk and uncertainty
We live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don't know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?
David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.
In engaging, crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, showing how it can help us think more analytically about everything from medical advice to pandemics and climate change forecasts, and explores how we can update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. Along the way, he explains why roughly 40% of football results come down to luck rather than talent, how the National Risk Register assesses near-term risks to the United Kingdom, and why we can be so confident that two properly shuffled packs of cards have never, ever been in the exact same order.
Drawing on a wide range of captivating real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty while also having the humility to admit what we do not know
The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present. In The Making of the Modern Middle East he offers a gripping and invaluable guide, showing how it came to be and what its future might hold.
In part based on his acclaimed podcast, 'Our Man in the Middle East', Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, and their leaders, whether brutal or benign. He explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
Clear throughout is Bowen's deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan's Turkey, Netanyahu's Israel and Palestine, whether Hamas-controlled Gaza or the West Bank. His long experience of covering events in the region make this an extraordinarily powerful account of one of the world's greatest problems.

On Thin Ice
I have one shot to build a better life—not just for me, but for my little brother still stuck in the dump I escaped from. Now that I’ve gotten to Sovereign Kings University, I have to make it worth it. Keep my head down, ignore the rich kids, and graduate.
At least that was my plan before I busted a hockey player’s knee and became public enemy number one. Now the team’s golden boy captain, Alexander, leads the charge against me. Kane, the brooding defenseman never misses a chance to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by Mountain, the reserved giant of a goalie, may just hurt the most.
Beneath their hostility I find sparks of desire and unexpected depth, but can I risk losing my heart to one hockey player—let alone all three? I’m certainly in for a long, hard season.
Nočné piesne
Debutová zbierka poézie a textov piesni od Petra Cingela, textára z Turca, ktorý napísal texty pre kapely ako TEAM, Horska chata, Off, Targo... a interpretov ako Juraj Hnilica, Bobo Kantor, Jaro Gažo, Roman Révai, Slávka Sudorová...
V čase, keď je poézia často buď experimentálne uzavretá sama do seba, alebo naopak príliš doslovná, prichádza zbierka Nočné piesne. Je pohľadom do textárskej aj básnickej tvorby autora. Peter Cingel je básnikom noci. Nie tej romantickej, ale tej, ktorá ťa prinúti pozerať sa do stropu a počúvať vlastný tep. Tej skutočnej – tichej, neúprosnej, odhaľujúcej. Noc je v jeho textoch priestorom pravdy. Jeho poézia kráča po hrane medzi vierou a pochybnosťou, medzi túžbou po svetle a fascináciou tmou. Hľadá odpovede, ale viac než odpovede ho zaujíma samotné hľadanie. Je to pútnik vnútorného sveta. Muž, ktorý sa nebojí priznať slabosť.
Ktorý vie, že bolesť je dôkazom života. Jeho básne nie sú výkrikom do sveta. Sú šepotom do vlastného srdca. Noc tu nie je len kulisa. Je to priestor pravdy. Ticho je stav, v ktorom začína krik myšlienok. Toto nie je zbierka básní o noci. Je to zbierka básní, ktoré vznikli, keď noc nedovolila spať. Zbierka Nočné piesne je intímne, existenciálne vyznanie človeka, ktorý sa nebojí pýtať. A najmä – nebojí sa odpovedí, aj keď bolia.
Brieždenie
Slnečný lúč ti prebleskol cez rozcuchané vlasy, plné piesku a rozdrvených mušličiek.
Svitá a farba, doposiaľ tak dobre skrytá, vyrastá do krásy, odomyká život kľúčom vystlaným z túlavých nočných cestičiek.
Potichu červenajú zore... od hanby,
že prerušili štebotom tvoje tiché sny.
A vietor rozčeril zas modré more,
zatiaľ čo pery cítia dotyk prosebný.
„Vstaň, už čaká nás nový deň.“
Jane
Po tvári kreslia čiary kryštáliky soli,
aby v tichu zmizli v kalužiach.
Čo iní necítia, teba strašne bolí
to iní nevidia, keď skrývajú strach.
Pod slzami neba ukrývaš svoj smútok,
zajtrajšok možno všetko otočí.
Prší... a preto nik nevie, ako ti je ľúto, kým sa ti nezadíva priamo do očí.
Ani čas ti nevysušil slzy,
nevrátil úsmev a nevyrovnal vrásky na tvári.
A vždy, keď hľadíš späť, tak veľmi mrzí
každý premárnený deň,
prespatá noc,
každý nesplnený sen
a ešte viac – spomienka na ten, čo sa vydaril.
Viem, že stále veríš,
že znovu pohladí ťa jeho smiech a zbadáš jeho tieň.
To neboli kroky, iba prievan...
Zabudni... ach, Jane.
Hľadanie svetla
Slnko, tá obrovská ohnivá guľa,
ten peniaz, čo rokmi stúpa na cene,
olizovalo už tak zo zvyku
tisíce problémov,
radostí a smútkov nás bytostí,
náhliacich sa uchmatnúť
posledné teplé zvyšky jesene.
Len pár zvláštnych osudov kráčalo pomaly, akoby oproti, cítiac už zimu života.
Pokorných a vyrovnaných.
V očiach pokoj a clivota.
Nechcú nič, len prosia... o pár dní,
kým utriedia svoje spomienky
a upracú sny trčiace z povaly duše
a dávno odložené myšlienky.
