How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions-suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

How to be Well Read
Ranging all the way from Aaron's Rod to Zuleika Dobson, via The Devil Rides Out and Middlemarch, literary connoisseur and sleuth John Sutherland offers his very personal guide to the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written.
He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how it fits into a broader context and he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid GBP20 for Black Beauty? It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so wittily informative, bite-sized pieces.
Encyclopaedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate.

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki
PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?
ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?
Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.
But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.

Debutový album kapely „30 Seconds to Mars“ (2002), produkoval Bob Ezrin a vyšiel s pozitívnymi ohlasmi, ale len s obmedzeným komerčným úspechom. Kapela sa celosvetovo preslávila vydaním svojho druhého albumu “A Beautiful Lie“ (2005), ktorý získal viacero ocenení po celom svete. „This Is War“ (2009), ukázalo dramatický vývoj v hudobnom štýle kapely, pretože zahŕňalo experimentálnu hudbu, ako aj eklektické vplyvy. Proces nahrávania albumu bol poznačený súdnym sporom s nahrávacou spoločnosťou EMI, ktorý sa nakoniec stal námetom pre dokumentárny film „Artifact“ (2012). Thirty Seconds to Mars sa potom presunuli do Universal Music a vydali štvrtý album „Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams“ (2013), ktorý zaznamenal kritický a komerčný úspech. Po ňom nasledovala „Amerika“ (2018), ktorá po vydaní polarizovala kritikov.

Lacná kniha How to be an Overnight Success (-50%)
"You are not born an entrepreneur. It's a skill that you learn along the way."
When the skincare company Rodial launched its cult 'snake' serum, the press quickly called the business an 'overnight success'. However, Rodial's founder Maria Hatzistefanis had been toiling for 18 years, building the company from scratch in her bedroom. Now, the beauty boss sets out to demonstrate in this very accessible book that its success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts and a lot of patience.
Fashion-loving Maria set out with a dream to build a beauty business and - despite not excelling at school, and being fired from her first job - she has achieved it. She did it by dreaming big, working hard, surrounding herself with the best, taking risks, creating buzz and building her own personal brand, which is now a favourite with high-profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and Kylie Jenner.
Crucially, she believes anyone can do this and her book, brimming with good sense, great advice, tips and secrets - all presented in an easy, friendly style - shows how.

Je niečo silnejšie ako sesterská láska?
Lívia je tá staršia. Tá úspešnejšia. Tá populárnejšia. Baška je tá, čo ostala na druhej koľaji... a to nielen v babských kruhoch na škole, ale aj doma a v srdciach rodičov.

No ktorá sestra je v skutočnosti tá silnejšia a rozhodnejšia? Ktorá dokáže obetovať všetko, aby zabránila ďalšiemu súženiu?
Všetky šťastné rodiny sú si podobné, každá nešťastná rodina je nešťastná svojím spôsobom. Vo svojej štrnástej knihe sa Mirka Varáčková ponorila do navonok šťastnej rodiny, aby odhalila ich nešťastie.

Maybe Not
Colleen Hoover, the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us brilliantly brings to life the story of the hilarious and charismatic Warren in this novella.
When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.
Or maybe not.
Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.
Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Lacná kniha How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (-50%)
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan

Cesta k dokonalosti: Jak řídit efektivně? / How to Solve the Mismanagement Crisis?
Kniha Ichaka Adizese nepatří k úplně nejnovějším, v originálu vyšla již poměrně dávno, nebyla však do dnešní doby do češtiny přeložena a na své aktuálnosti příliš neztrácí. Dokonce možná je v dobách krize takového pohledu zapotřebí více než kdy dříve. Je výrazným příspěvkem do diskuse o teorii řízení podniku. Na rozdíl od mnohých ostatních se Adizes nezaměřuje na managera jako individuum, ba naopak hlavní pozornost dává vhodnému skládání týmu. Individuálním charakteristikám se nevyhýbá, nevěří však v existenci ideálního - "učebnicového manažera". Vedle toho se poměrně intenzivně věnuje i životním cyklům organizací. Výběr vhodných vedoucích pracovníků z těchto fází rozvoje společností také vychází. Je logické, že dynamicky se rozvíjející mladá organizace s 10 zaměstnanci potřebuje jiný styl vedení, než se hodí pro nadnárodní korporaci zaměstnávající tisíce lidí. V textu se okrajově věnuje i diagnostice “zdravotního stavu” organizací a dále léčbou jejích neduhů. Nabízí několik neotřelých řešení, nedává však jednoznačný návod, který by fungoval každému a kdykoliv. Kniha je jen jakousi špičkou ledovce, většina zásadních Adizesových poznatků, obsažených v jeho metodologii, zůstává čtenářům skryta a naznačeny jsou jen její kontury. Dá se říct, že kniha je vlastně jakýmsi úvodem do studia celé metodologie, které jistě za hlubší poznání stojí.
