Audiokniha: Je to střední škola jako každá jiná. Akorát se tu vyučuje magie a občas jde o kejhák… Být dcerou známé čarodějky je v potměšilé loterii osudu výhra pouze zdánlivá. Galadriel Higginsová by totiž mnohem radši patřila mezi běžné šedé myšky. Proroctví praví, že se stane nejmocnější temnou čarodějkou a ničitelkou světa v jednom, což valnou většinu jejích spolužáků z kouzelnické školy vcelku přirozeně odrazuje. Nikoho nezajímá, že se sama ze všech sil snaží předurčení zlomit, jenže ani mimořádná píle a snaha najít spřízněné duše není dívce nic platná. Osamělost si už začala vybírat daň a dělá z ní snadný terč pro záludné tvory, jimiž se tento specializovaný ústav hemží. Podlé čáry, hladoví malové i další lidožravé obludy tu číhají na každém kroku. A navíc pozor na všeobecně oblíbeného dobroděje Oriona Lakea, studenta ze zazobané rodiny a ochránce slabých a nevinných! Už dvakrát Galadriel zachránil před nejhorším. Co může mít za lubem? Fantastický příběh o síle přátelství v učebnách netradičního vzdělávacího institutu otevírá autorčinu úspěšnou trilogii Scholomancie. Film podle její předlohy natáčejí hollywoodská studia Universal Pictures. „Noviková brilantně převrací očekávání ohledně čarodějných škol, předurčených hrdinů i rodinných dědictví. Nádherná kniha o příšerách a obludnostech, překypující akcí, nápaditostí a vtipem." – Holly Blacková, autorka bestsellerové série Krutý princ. „Neuvěřitelná jízda! Vezměte školu magie, přilejte do ní nebezpečí v míře, jakou si jenom lze představit, ve všem nechte škvařit kupu puberťáků a výsledkem bude neředěně střelená zábava.“ – N. J. Jemisin, autorka bestselleru Páté roční období. „S dokonalou nenuceností Noviková vytvořila hrdinku dnešní doby: postavu nadanou tolika valéry mladistvých pochyb, že zaručeně přežije v srdcích i myslích několika dalších nastupujících generací.“ – The Guardian. „Autorčin lehounce rozmarný styl špikovaný černým humorem zajistí, že knihu zhltnete na posezení.“ – Locus Magazine. „Excelentně zvládnuté vykreslení prostředí i postav. Zatoužíte je poznat do posledního ždibíčku charakteru.“ – Grim Dark Magazine.

Agnieszka miluje své domovské údolí, klidnou vesnici, lesy a průzračnou řeku. Ale na hranici stojí zlověstný Hvozd plný zlomyslné moci, jehož stín tíživě padá na její život. Aby zlé síly zůstaly v Hvozdu, spoléhají Agniežčini lidé na chladného a vypočítavého čaroděje známého pod jménem Drak. Ten však za svou pomoc vyžaduje hrozivou cenu: každých deset let mu musí jít sloužit jedna mladá žena, což je osud téměř stejně hrozný, jako kdyby propadla Hvozdu. Další volba se rychle blíží a Agnieszka má strach. Každý ví, že tentokrát si Drak vezme Kasiu — krásnou, hodnou, statečnou Kasiu, Agniežčinu nejdražší přítelkyni, která je vším, čím Agnieszka není. A neexistuje způsob, jak ji zachránit. Ale když Drak konečně přijde, překvapivě si vybere někoho jiného.

Obrní se před zatvrzelostí vesničanů, vydá se vymáhat dluhy a zjistí, že je pro tuto práci jako stvořená. Když jí její dědeček dá měšec stříbrných mincí, přinese mu ho zpátky plný zlata. Jenže když se rozkřikne, že umí proměnit stříbro ve zlato, ukáže se, že to možná přinese víc potíží než prospěchu.

Dá se tak do pohybu řada událostí, v jejichž středu stojí spolu s Mirjem prostá dívka Wanda, která pro Mirjem začne pracovat poté, co si její otec nemůže dovolit zaplatit lichváři dluh, a šlechtična Irina, kterou chce její otec provdat za mladého cara.

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world. Just kidding. Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

Jste připraveni na závěrečnou lekci ve Scholomancii? Studenti Scholomancie nikdy nemluví o tom, co budou dělat, až se dostanou ven. Takhle pokoušet osud a spřádat plány do budoucna by mohl jen hlupák. Přesto o tom všichni tajně sní — o té nepravděpodobné, malé šanci, že přežijí a dostanou se ven za brány školy. Ovšem nakonec se to podaří jen málokomu. Pro Galadriel Higginsovou se tento nemožný sen stal skutečností a po čtyřech letech strávených ve škole se vrátila domů. Ještě nedávno by byla šťastná, protože ve svůj úspěch příliš nedoufala. Teď se však všechno zvrtlo a ty, které zachránila, pravděpodobně čeká smrt v propukající válce mezi enklávami. Takhle si El svůj návrat vážně nepředstavovala. Ale vždycky může být ještě hůř: sotva se ze spárů Scholomancie vysvobodila, musí se otočit na patě a vrátit se zpátky.

History takes flight in the second book of Naomi Novik’s deliciously addictive series which captures the Napoleonic period perfectly and skillfully layers the timeline with imagination by adding a Dragon Air Force to the battle for England.Captain William Laurence of the British Air Corps and his dragon, Temeraire, begin their slow voyage to China, fearful that upon landing they will be forced to part by Imperial decree.Temeraire is a Celestial dragon, the most highly-prized of all draconic breeds; famed for their intelligence, agility and most of all for the Divine Wind – their terrible roar capable of shattering the heavy timbers of war ships, shattering woodland and destroying other dragons mid-flight. Temeraire’s egg was captured and claimed by the British at sea, but he was meant to be the companion of the Emperor Napoleon and not captained by a mere officer in the British Air Corps.The Chinese have demanded his return and the British cannot refuse them – they cannot afford to provoke the asian super-power into allying themselves with the French – even if it costs them the most powerful weapon in their arsenal and inflicts the most unimaginable pain upon Laurence and his dragon.

With Britain’s last desperate hope of defeating Napoleon in peril, the government that sidelined Laurence swiftly offers to reinstate him, convinced that he’s the best man to enter the fray and negotiate peace. So the pair embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that forces them to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Incan empire.With the success of the mission balanced on a razor’s edge, an old enemy appears and threatens to tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurk – for one bold enough to grasp it.

Debates in Physical Education explores major issues physical education teachers encounter in their daily professional lives. It engages with established and contemporary debates, promotes and supports critical reflection and aims to stimulate both novice and experienced teachers to reach informed judgements and argue their own point of view with deeper theoretical knowledge and understanding. In addition, concerns for the short, medium and long term future of the subject are voiced, with a variety of new approaches proposed. Key issues debated include: What are the aims of physical education? What should be covered in a physical education curriculum? How should we judge success in physical education? Is physical education really for all or is it just for the gifted and talented? Can physical education really combat the rise in obesity? What is the future for physical education in the 21st Century? Debates in Physical Education makes a timely and significant contribution to addressing current contentious issues in physical education. With its combination of expert opinion and fresh insight, this book is the ideal companion for all student and practising teachers engaged in initial teacher education, continuing professional development and Masters level study.

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Building on the pioneering 2009 volume, Race, Culture, and Identities in Second Language Education, this book reflects the significant expansion in the research since its publication and offers a wider breadth of perspectives on the complex theoretical terrain of race, racism, and antiracism in language education.Contributors to this book apply a range of conceptual and methodological lenses to teaching diverse world languages. Underscoring the interconnectedness of race and colonialism, world language education, and intersectional ideologies, this book offers a forum for engaged dialogues among teachers, teacher educators, teacher candidates, graduate and advanced undergraduate students, curriculum developers, policymakers, and educational researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including language education. In covering important theoretical frames and constructs—including raciolinguistic and anti-oppressive pedagogies, decoloniality, neoliberalism, and reverse linguistic stereotyping—this book breaks from the Global North norms in applied linguistics and language instruction.An essential text in TESOL and world language education, this volume weaves meaningful connections among language education, language-in-education policy, and research.
