Knowing What We Know
From the creation of the first encyclopedia to Wikipedia, from ancient museums to modern kindergarten classes here is award-winning writer Simon Winchester’s brilliant and all-encompassing look at how humans acquire, retain, and pass on information and data, and how technology continues to change our lives and our minds.
With the advent of the internet, any topic we want to know about is instantly available with the touch of a smartphone button. With so much knowledge at our fingertips, what is there left for our brains to do? At a time when we seem to be stripping all value from the idea of knowing things – no need for maths, no need for map reading, no need for memorisation – are we risking our ability to think? As we empty our minds, will we one day be incapable of thoughtfulness?
Addressing these questions, Simon Winchester explores how humans have attained, stored and disseminated knowledge. Examining such disciplines as education, journalism, encyclopedia creation, museum curation, photography and broadcasting, he looks at a whole range of knowledge diffusion – from the cuneiform writings of Babylon to the machine-made genius of artificial intelligence, by way of Gutenberg, Google and Wikipedia to the huge Victorian assemblage of the Mundaneum, the collection of everything ever known, currently stored in a damp basement in northern Belgium.
Studded with strange and fascinating details, Knowing What We Know is a deep dive into learning and the human mind. Throughout this fascinating tour, Winchester forces us to ponder what rational humans are becoming. What good is all this knowledge if it leads to lack of thought? What is information without wisdom? Does René Descartes’ ‘Cogito, ergo sum’ 'I think, therefore I am’, the foundation for human knowledge widely accepted since the Enlightenment still hold?
And what will the world be like if no one in it is wise?
I Know What I'm Doing
Ženy jako uživatelky drog jsou v hledáčku sociologů již několik desetiletí. Výzkumníci publikovali mnohé o specifičnosti jejich situace, zvláště v souvislosti s genderovou nerovností. Psali o výraznější stigmatizaci žen nebo o obtížnějším přístupu k léčbě a sociálním službám. Naopak málo pozornosti věnovali strategiím, pomocí nichž se uživatelky drog snaží své situaci vzdorovat, nebo těžkostem, se kterými se potýkají v každodenním životě. A právě tento neobvyklý pohled nabízí autorka knihy Vím, co dělám. Prostřednictvím narativní analýzy opakovaných hloubkových rozhovorů a fokusních skupin se sedmi ženami, které mají zkušenost s dlouhodobým užíváním metamfetaminu/pervitinu, zkoumá nejen problémy, jimž ženy čelí, ale také sílu k jednání, kterou používají, aby mohly opět převzít kontrolu nad svým životem a prosadit své potřeby a zájmy v okolním světě.

What If Its Us
From NYT bestselling authors Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) and Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) comes a long-awaited collaboration about two very different boys who can't decide if the universe is pushing them together or pulling them apart. Meet Arthur and Ben.
ARTHUR is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it's that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. BEN thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn't be carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend's things.
But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them. What if - in a city of eight million people - they can't find each other again?What if they do ... and then can't nail a first date even after three do-overs?What if Arthur tries too hard to make it work and Ben doesn't try hard enough?What if life really isn't like a Broadway play?But what if it is?WHAT IF IT'S US PRAISE FOR WHAT IF IT'S US: "Romantic, realistic and sweet, this perfectly captures New York, teenage love and life in that gray area when you're not quite an adult and not quite a child either" - Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe PRAISE FOR ADAM SILVERA: 'History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache.
There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages.' Patrick Ness 'This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more.' Nicola Yoon 'Bold and haunting.' Lauren Oliver on They Both Die At The End 'A phenomenal talent.' Juno Dawson PRAISE FOR BECKY ALBERTALLI: 'The love child of John Green and Rainbow Rowell.' Teen Vogue Praise for Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda: 'I love you, Simon. I love you! And I love this fresh, funny, live-out-loud book.' Jennifer Niven 'A wonderfully charismatic story about coming-of-age and coming out'.

The lessons, stories and guidelines in this richly illustrated book offer a unique and honest insight into the day-to-day realities of what many people see as their dream job.
I Was Born for This
The third novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman - one of the most talked about YA writers in recent years.
For Angel Rahimi life is about one thing: The Ark - a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark's fandom has given her everything she loves - her friend Juliet, her dreams, her place in the world.
Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark. He's their frontman - and playing in a band with his mates is all he ever dreamed of doing.
But dreams don't always turn out the way you think and when Jimmy and Angel are unexpectedly thrust together, they find out how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.
A funny, wise, and heartbreakingly true coming of age novel. I Was Born for This is a stunning reflection of modern teenage life, and the power of believing in something - especially yourself.
Na smrť I + II
Československo roku 1928. Dvaja kamaráti, maturanti z Ružomberka, Žid Viktor a Nemec Karol, neúmyselne zabijú syna miestneho podnikateľa. Viktor uteká k príbuzným do New Yorku a stáva sa členom mafiánskej organizácie Murder, Inc. Karol študuje medicínu v Mníchove a pod vedením Reinharda Heydricha sa mení na oddaného stúpenca nacistickej ideológie. Ocitajú sa tak na opačných stranách rodiaceho sa vojnového besnenia... Na smrť je rozsahom a dejovým oblúkom najväčší slovenský porevolučný román. Prepája svet americkej mafie s hrôzami nacizmu. Detailne približuje vojnu mafiánskych rodín v Amerike, ako aj vzostup nacizmu v Nemecku, Noc dlhých nožov, Krištáľovú noc, nacistické programy eutanázie, vyhladzovacie operácie na východnom fronte a fungovanie koncentračných táborov. Román sa odohráva v rokoch 1928 – 1945 v Československu, Nemecku, Spojených štátoch, Poľsku, na Ukrajine, v Pobaltí a vrcholí v čase Slovenského národného povstania. Autor ponúka desivú pripomienku, ako málo stačí, aby z nás spadla civilizačná škrupina a zmenili sme sa na kruté, bezcitné monštrá.
Pri príležitosti 10. výročia prvého vydania vychádza román Na smrť I+II ako súborné dielo v exkluzívnom zberateľskom prevedení. Na obálke knihy je použitý parciálny UV lak a razba striebornou fóliou na dosiahnutie metalického efektu. Kniha je vytlačená dvojfarebne na bezdrevnom papieri a doplnená predsádkami z červeného surbalínu potlačenými čiernou farbou. Má dve farebné záložky (lacetky), čiernu a červenú. Kniha vyniká unikátnou červenou farebnou oriezkou, ktorá je potlačená čiernou farbou a vytvára mramorový efekt. Knižný blok bol vytlačený v tlačiarňach TBB v Banskej Bystrici, odkiaľ putoval do Nemecka do kníhviazačskej dielne Richarda Mayera v Esslingene, kde sa vyhotovila spomínaná mramorová oriezka. Finálne knihárske spracovanie spolu s obálkou sa realizovalo v tlačiarňach TBB v Banskej Bystrici. Autorom obálky je renomovaný český grafický dizajnér Emil Križka. Toto jedinečné vydanie určite patrí k tomu najkrajšiemu na slovenskom knižnom trhu.

Yes No Maybe? What to do when you don't know what you want
This is what this book brings you: you support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn.
Because hand on heart, it is often difficult for us to make good and correct decisions because we ourselves have no idea what we want in the first place. The reasons for this are many and varied: we often lack the time to think and weigh things up. Not infrequently, we lack important information? And sometimes we are simply not in the right mood. But this indecisiveness can have a whole host of consequences - for example, when projects are delayed and goals are not achieved. But how do you make the right decision, even spontaneously under stress and time pressure? How do you obtain all the necessary information in the short time available in order to avoid wrong decisions? And how can you control intuitive decision-making processes so that they are actually optimal and fact-based? This book provides answers to all questions and helps to make noticeably better decisions.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.
Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process.
The publisher is also involved in numerous, well-documented charitable projects, e.g. on climate protection, and supports the quality of neural machine learning and international understanding through its translation from German into English.
Editor Simone Janson is chairwoman, publisher, and best-selling author. She was also one of the 20 most important German bloggers and columnist of renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

Katja 3: Magické relikvie I.
Ariina moc rastie a zdá sa, že jej cieľom nie je iba uzurpovanie si moci v Aluvérii a Trésii. Kam sa jej oči teraz upierajú a čo všetko ešte chystá v honbe za absolútnou mocou?
Katja a Argos čelia novému problému – ako naložiť so znepokojivými informáciami, ktoré sa o sebe dozvedeli, a kam by mali smerovať ich ďalšie kroky?
Obaja pocítia silu prastarej mágie, ktorá im bude predkladať nejednu ťažkú úlohu za druhou. Sila mágie bude skúšať ich morálku aj húževnatosť a za svoje rozhodnutia si ponesú následky. Na ich pleciach tak nemilosrdne leží osud mnohých ľudí, no uvedomujú si, že všetkých zachrániť nedokážu.
Karty zamiešajú noví hrdinovia, ktorí vstúpia do hry, hoci si nikto nemôže byť istý, na čej strane naozaj stoja.
Katjina aj Argosova cesta plná dobrodružstiev, bojov o život, ťažkých rozhodnutí, ale aj skutočnej lásky a obetavých činov pokračuje v prvom zväzku tretej knihy s rovnomenným názvom MAGICKÉ RELIKVIE I.

Zaklínač I: Posledné želanie
Prvá poviedková kniha Posledné želanie je skvelým úvodom do ságy o zaklínačovi Geraltovi z Rivie. Bielovlasý zaklínač, majster meča a umenia zabíjať, má v živote len jeden cieľ a obživu – zbavovať svet príšer. Odveké zaklínačské umenie chráni ľudstvo pred tými najodpornejšími stvoreniami. Na svojej dlhej púti však Geralt zistí, že zlo sa často ukrýva práve v ľuďoch, intrigách a nenávisti. Zaklínač si preto vždy vyberá cestu rozumu a snaží sa v sebe zadusiť akékoľvek city. Nie vždy sa mu to však darí.
I know Kung Fu
Known for its deft stunt-like movements, ‘kung fu’ is a form of Chinese martial arts that originally referred to any study requiring patience, energy, and time to complete. Over the last few decades, it has exploded in mainstream culture, due to its influence and appearances on Western screens, as well as the proliferation and growing interest in Eastern cinema. In fact, it has been said that the definition of ‘kung fu’ as we know it today can be attributed to mistranslations of subtitles or dubbing!
I Know Kung Fu! takes an intriguing look at the stars and shows that have made it what it is through the bold and characterful drawings of Hong Kong cult illustrator Rex Koo, who was inspired by ‘kung fu’ flicks from the 1980s and 1990s. Coupled with bite-sized information on famous techniques/weapons and comic strips, it is a must-have collectors’ item for fans of the martial art and those who wish to see it through a new lens.
