Fix the System, Not the Women
10 years after founding the Everyday Sexism Project, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates connects the dots between the 'isolated incidents' of violence against women and the institutional and systemic misogyny that is so deeply ingrained in our society. Every three days in the UK, women are murdered by their current or former partners. 137 women worldwide are killed by a family member every day.These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a devastatingly clear pattern. But it is a pattern we are so used to seeing that we simply don't notice it anymore.These incidents are the product of a society in which misogyny is so deeply ingrained that it has simply become part of our daily lives. This book will lay these patterns bare for everyone to see. Joining the dots from an epidemic of school sexual violence to the failings of the police and CPS, institutional and systemic misogyny, political apathy and media distortion, this will be an examination of how the entire system lets women and girls down, again and again.In Isolated Incidents, Laura puts forward her own bold and ambitious solution for combating misogyny and violence against women - one that includes structural change and tackles institutionalised prejudice. Enough is enough.
Too often, we blame women. For walking home alone at night. For not demanding a seat at the table. For not overcoming the odds that are stacked against them.
This distracts us from the real problem: the failings and biases of a society that was not built for women. In this explosive book, feminist writer and activist Laura Bates exposes the systemic prejudice at the heart of five of our key institutions.
Education
Politics
Media
Policing
Criminal justice
Combining stories with shocking evidence, Fix the System, Not the Women is a blazing examination of sexual injustice and a rallying cry for reform.

Thats Not What Happened
Six survived to tell the story, but who knows the truth? The next hotly anticipated YA novel from bestselling US sensation Kody Keplinger, author of The Duff and Run. It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story - that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did - and didn't - happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we?ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let?s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn?t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is?a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let?s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited?"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
English Is Not Easy
Víte, kdy použít whether a kdy if? Díky příkladové větě si to jistě ujasníte: I wonder whether I should have added a little more poison to his tea? Nevíte, kam umístit čárku v podmínkových větách? Chce si ujasnit a zopakovat základní předložky pomocí krys a popelnice? Tento skvěle ilustrovaný průvodce představuje složitost anglického jazyka, slovíčka i gramatiku.
Celkem 17 zábavných kapitol nás seznámí s nejrůznějšími úskalími anglického jazyka, na které autorka - grafička, která tuto knihu vytvořila, narazila během svého pobytu v New Yorku.
English Is Not Easy nenabízí zkrácené fráze o extrémních sportech a atmosférických podmínkách, které se dozvíte v obvyklých učebnicích angličtiny. Tato kniha nabízí slovní zásobu situací, ve kterých se dospělý čtenář skutečně ocitá. Potřebujete někoho urazit? Ano, i urážky tu najdete. A imbecil je z nich ta nejslušnější.
Autorčiny postavy, hravé věty, dialogy ze života, a především skvělé ilustrace nás seznámí se vším – od problematiky slovesa to be až po komplikované slovesné časy a zdánlivě nesmyslné idiomy. Pro samouky, kteří se chtějí zlepšit v konverzaci, a pro „věčné začátečníky“, je tato kniha nápaditým a poutavým ilustrovaným dobrodružstvím na cestě angličtinou.
Angličtina bez učebnice - What’s What 2.0
V roku 2003 vyšla kniha What’s What alebo Prečo je to v angličtine tak. Autor Jozef Kot ňou nechcel nahradiť učebnice anglického jazyka, iba ich doplniť a zaoberať sa najmä tým, čo vyvoláva otázniky. Zvolil si formu dialógu s čitateľom. Väčšina otázok nie je fiktívna, každodenne sa s nimi stretal ako pedagóg Jazykovej školy v Bratislave. Niektoré si kládol ako prekladateľ anglickej a americkej literatúry celkom spontánne aj sám, lebo táto práca si vyžaduje ustavične porovnávať dva jazykové systémy. To ho priviedlo k myšlienke vrátiť sa k pôvodnému textu, upraviť ho a rozšíriť o problematiku, pred ktorou stojí každý, kto má ambície venovať sa prekladateľskej činnosti. Nová kniha zahŕňa množstvo ďalších problémov a otázok, ktoré otvárali jeho poslucháči počas prípravných kurzov zameraných na špeciálne štátne skúšky z prekladateľstva. Preto jej dal – v zhode s názvami, aké používajú novšie generácie počítačových softvérov – podtitul What’s What 2.0.
Not Here To Be Liked
Falling in love wasn't part of the plan.
Eliza Quan fully expects to be voted the next editor-in-chief of her school paper. She works hard, she respects the facts, and she has the most experience. Len DiMartile is an injured star baseball player who seems to have joined the paper just to have something to do. Naturally, the staff picks Len to be their next leader. Because while they may respect Eliza, they don't particularly like her - but right now, Eliza is not here to be liked. She's here to win.
But someone does like Eliza. A lot.
Shame it's the boy standing in the way of her becoming editor-in-chief....
Lacná kniha Peking Not Fucking (-90%)
V léčebně dlouhodobě nemocných literárních armatur mívá noční službu šílený Hölderlin. Kašle na svoje povinnosti, nebloudí po chodbách, pořád jen mlátí svým pyjem do kláves odloženého klavíru minimalistické nokturno s matoucím názvem Hyperion. Poslední emerita v socializovaném světě představ ale neslyší, že filc na kladívkách je už dávno pryč. Deformované tóny se hroutí, zvuk je recyklován na nerozlišitelné vzdechy a šumy civilizace. Jaká slast pro všechny internované, kdyby se ten šílenec někdy netrefil. Ale on se trefí pokaždé.
Jeden sacher, prosím pěkně, a ubrousek na drobky. Poslouchám ten masochistický koncert u otevřeného okna, ze kterého jsou vidět koruny stromů na petřínské stráni. Slyším ho dokonale, i když jsem od Johanna Christiana Friedricha vzdálen mnoho
desítek let.

Not So Nice Guy - Nem is olyan rendes srác
Ég veled, Ian, öreg haver!
Hellóóó, Mr. Nem is olyan Rendes Srác.
– Úristen! Hát ő meg kicsoda? – Gyakran kapom meg ezt a kérdést.
– Ja, hogy ő? – válaszolom. – Ő csak Ian.
„Csak Ian.” A „Csak Ian” az évszázad legbénább jellemzése.
Csak a Mona Lisa. Csak a Taj Mahal. Csak Ian, az unalmas kockahasával
és a sablon gödröcskés mosolyával, mi?
Csak Ian… csak a legjobb barátom.
Elképesztően közel állunk egymáshoz, olyan mélyre jutva a barátzóna állapotába, hogy a munkahelyünkön mindenki azt gondolja, egy párt alkotunk – egészen addig, amíg egy nap ki nem pattan a hír a tanáriban, hogy Ian egyedülálló. Szabad préda.
Az újdonsült népszerűségében lubickolnia kellene, de mindkettőnk legnagyobb meglepetésére, az egyetlen figyelem, amire látszólag vágyik, az enyém. A korábban ártatlan éjszakai csevegéseinkből korhatáros telefonhívások lesznek. A játékos évődésünk egy új, kockázatos élt kap. Azt gondolom, hogy csak cukkol, de amikor az osztályteremben felültet az asztalra, a kezeit pedig becsúsztatja a szoknyám alá, nem marad tér a bizonytalanságnak.
Kicsit félek attól, hogy a dolgok rosszul alakulnak, és elveszítem a legjobb barátomat, szóval, a legjobb lesz, ha kihátrálok és nem viszonzom ezt az eget rengető csókot.
De, kit is akarok áltatni ezzel?

What I Talk about When I Talk about Running
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical.

Lacná kniha Measure What Matters (-70%)
'Management magic....Measure What Matters is a must read for anyone motivated to improve their organization' - Former Vice President Al Gore, chairman of the Climate Reality Project
'Measure What Matters shows how any organization or team can aim high, move fast, and excel' , Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of Leanln.org and OptionB.org

'Measure What Matters takes you behind the scenes for the creation of Intel's powerful OKR system - one of Andy Grove's finest legacies' - Gordon Moore, cofounder and former chairman of Intel
--------
The revolutionary movement behind the explosive growth of Intel, Google, Amazon and Uber.
With a foreword by Larry Page, and contributions from Bono and Bill Gates.
Measure What Matters is about using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), a revolutionary approach to goal-setting, to make tough choices in business.
In 1999, legendary venture capitalist John Doerr invested nearly $12 million in a startup that had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. Doerr introduced the founders to OKRs and with them at the foundation of their management, the startup grew from forty employees to more than 70,000 with a market cap exceeding $600 billion. The startup was Google.
Since then Doerr has introduced OKRs to more than fifty companies, helping tech giants and charities exceed all expectations. In the OKR model objectives define what we seek to achieve and key results are how those top- priority goals will be attained. OKRs focus effort, foster coordination and enhance workplace satisfaction. They surface an organization's most important work as everyone's goals from entry-level to CEO are transparent to the entire institution.
In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organizations.
This book will show you how to collect timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters. It will help any organization or team aim high, move fast, and excel.

John Doerr joined Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in 1980 and has since backed some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and companies, such as Google, Zynga and Amazon. John serves on the boards of Google, Zynga and Amyris. He also led KPCB's investment in Twitter.
