Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, co-authored by her son Harry Whittaker, draws Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion.
1928, Paris
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and no-one's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean
The seven sisters are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.
The Secret Lives of Numbers
A revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of maths
Mathematics shapes almost everything we do. But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, historian Kate Kitagawa and journalist Timothy Revell introduce readers to the mathematical boundary-smashers who have been erased by history because of their race, gender or nationality.
From the brilliant Arabic scholars of the ninth-century House of Wisdom, and the pioneering African American mathematicians of the twentieth century, to the 'lady computers' around the world who revolutionised our knowledge of the night sky, we meet these fascinating trailblazers and see how they contributed to our global knowledge today.
Along the way, the mathematics itself is explained extremely clearly, for example, calculus is described using the authors' home baking, as they pose the question: how much cake is in our cake? This revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of mathematics is as entertaining as it is important.
The Psychology of Money
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money-investing, personal finance, and business decisions-is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Pinocchiova dobrodružství / The Adventures of Pinocchio
Jazyková úroveň A1-A2.
Podle příběhu Carla Collodiho.
Kniha Pinocchiova dobrodružství, původně vydaná v roce 1883, je příběhem chudého loutkáře Geppetta, který z očarovaného kusu dřeva vyřeže marionetu. Pinocchio však loutkou být nechce. Přidejte se k němu a uvidíte, jestli mu jeho nos, který povyroste s každou vyslovenou lží, pomůže stát se lepší loutkou. Nebo snad skutečným chlapcem?
Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
50 je absolútna bomba
... pretože sa nemusíš zúčastniť na
každej hlúposti,
...pretože, keď chceš,
môžeš.
50 életút 50 felett
Büky Anna író ezúttal is különös érzékkel talált rá interjúalanyaira. Hetedik kötete arcéleket villant fel, miközben életutakat hoz premier planba - megpróbáltatásokkal, újrakezdésekkel, örömökkel és a kiteljesedés vágyával.
Bankár és lelkész, pedagógus, orvos, kutató, könyvtáros és népdalénekes, színész, újságíró, fotós, civilszervezet vezetője és a szolgáltatóipar, valamint a sport területéről érkezők randevúznak e könyv lapjain. És még ki mindenki...
E rendkívül "széles merítés" arra is alkalmat ad, hogy a válaszokon elgondolkodjon az olvasó, hitről, hazáról, szakmáról, misszióról, szolgálatról, családról, öregedésről. A felettünk őrködő rendről, amelyet csak mi, emberek tehetünk káosszá, s a mi felelősségünk az is, hogy felfedezzük a harmóniát, hogy visszataláljunk önmagunkhoz. Szépséghez, jósághoz, szeretethez. Az örökhöz. A vágy - hiszem -, még nem kopott ki belőlünk.
Büky Anna egyberostált beszélgetései ehhez adnak segítséget, egyebek mellett azt tudatosítva, hogy az elénk görgetett kövekből nemcsak barikádot lehet építeni, hanem lépcsőt is. Egymáshoz, s az égiekhez. Ugyan áldó hatalmak oltalmában élünk, alkotunk, szeretünk, de a jó és a rossz örök harcban állnak értünk. Tőlünk függ, melyik oldalra állunk, hogy megmentsük a világot, s önmagunkat. Ahogy az egyik interjúalany, Maczkó Mária fogalmazott: "Használjuk tehát azt a kincset, azt a tudást, azt az isteni adományt, amelyet hordozunk, és szándékunk szerint sosem csak magunknak tartogatunk!"
Büky Anna legújabb kötete felemel és reményt ad mához és holnaphoz. Mert az élet csoda, s mindannyian küldetéssel születtünk e földre, hogy létünkkel nyomot hagyjunk az utánunk érkezőknek.

Tisíc a jeden vtip po 50 rokoch
Tretie prepracované a doplnené vydanie legendárnej knihy vtipov, ktorá keď v roku 1969 prvýkrát vyšla, slovenských komunistov rozzúrila tak, že jej autora poslali do väzenia. Kniha Tisíc a jeden vtip (s podtitulom Učebnica vtipológie a žartizmu) Jána L. Kalinu sa na dvadsať rokov stala najžiadanejšou medzi zakázanými knihami a dodnes patrí medzi najlepšie knihy o humore, aké u nás vznikli. Devätnásť kapitol knihy sa venuje rôznym podobám vtipov - od antiky až po súčasnosť, anekdotám zo sveta i zo Slovenska, erotickým aj politickým vtipom či čiernemu a absurdnému humoru. Nové vydanie je doplnené o kapitolu s protikomunistickými vtipmi z čias normalizácie, ktoré autor publikoval v roku 1980 v nemeckom exile. Príbeh vzniku knihy a následnú perzekúciu jej autora komunistickým režimom približuje obsiahly doslov. Text dopĺňajú pôvodné karikatúry publikované v slovenskej tlači v 60. rokoch a na začiatku 70. rokov.

The Flowers of Buffoonery
The Flowers of Buffoonery opens in a seaside sanatorium where Yozo Oba-the narrator of No Longer Human at a younger age-is being kept after a failed suicide attempt. While he is convalescing, his friends and family visit him, and other patients and nurses drift in and out of his room. Against this dispiriting backdrop, everyone tries to maintain a light-hearted, even clownish atmosphere: playing cards, smoking cigarettes, vying for attention, cracking jokes and trying to make each other laugh.
While No Longer Human delves into the darkest corners of human consciousness, The Flowers of Buffoonery pokes fun at these same emotions: the follies and hardships of youth, of love and of self-hatred and depression. A glimpse into the lives of a group of outsiders in pre-war Japan, The Flowers of Buffoonery is a darkly humorous and fresh addition to Osamu Dazai's masterful and intoxicating oeuvre.

Lacná kniha The Tibetan Book of the Dead (-70%)
"The Dalai Lama's blessing attends Thurman's translation of the Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding in the Between. Composed by Padma Sambhava in the late 8th century, this text minutely describes the 'betweens' (Bardos) or after-death
transition states. Thurman, who opens this work with a new section of preliminary prayers, gives a helpful commentary in terms Westerners can understand and boldface portions to be read aloud in the presence of the dead. He closes by appending Nyingm
a tradition works to the main text.... Westerners will find this a colorful, awesome journey."Library Journal

The Social Lives of Animals
Everything you ever wanted to know about how animals live together, and what that means for us
Some animal societies hold a mirror up to the human world: elephants hold funerals for departed family members. Pinyon jays run collective creches. Rats will go out of their way to help a cold, wet stranger. Other lifestyles can seem intensely alien. Take locusts, surging over the land in their millions, unable to slow down for a moment because the hungry ranks behind will literally bite their legs off if they don't stay one step ahead (actually, you might know a few people like that).
But no matter how offputting an animal might be, behavioural scientist Ashley Ward can usually find something worth celebrating. Travelling the world from the Serengeti to the frozen Antarctic ocean, with stops in the muddy fields and streams of his native northern Yorkshire, he brings his curious eye and infectious humour right down to their level. The result is a world-expanding, myth-busting tour of some of nature's greatest marvels, in delightfully broad-minded company.
