Dan Brown si odskočil od dobrodružství profesora Langdona a vydává svou první dětskou knížku! Divoká symfonie představuje mimořádně zábavný čtenářský zážitek nejen pro děti, ale i pro jejich rodiče. Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha je složena z půvabných, hravých básniček, v nichž maestro Myšák se svou věrnou taktovkou seznamuje čtenáře se svými zvířecími kamarády, od gepardů a klokanů až po slony a velryby. Každá dvojstrana je věnována jinému zvířátku a formuluje ponaučení do života, které se může stát podnětem k rozhovorům na téma soucitu, trpělivosti, úcty a sebedůvěry, prožívání přítomnosti, života beze spěchu nebo toho, jak důležité je přátelství. Ilustrace Susan Batoriové dodávají knize humor přístupný dětskému čtenáři, a navíc se pro zvídavé čtenáře všech věkových kategorií v kulisách propracovaných obrázků skrývají různé rébusy. Děti a dospělí si nadčasovou publikaci mohou vychutnat jak formou tradičního čtení, tak i s doprovodem autorových orchestrálních skladeb věnovaných jednotlivých zvířátkům. Umožňuje to interaktivní aplikace pro chytré telefony: stačí namířit fotoaparát mobilního zařízení na dotyčnou stránku, a pomocí rozšířené reality si můžete příslušnou skladbu hned poslechnout.

Audiokniha: Ať jsi kdokoli. Ať věříš čemukoli. Všechno se brzy změní. Fantasticky vynalézavý román od nejpopulárnějšího autora thrillerů na světě. Čte Martin Sláma. Harvardský profesor symbologie Robert Langdon přijede do ultramoderního Guggenheimova muzea v Bilbau, aby se zde zúčastnil významného oznámení – odhalení objevu, který „navždy změní tvář vědy“. Pořadatelem společenského večera je čtyřicetiletý miliardář a futurista Edmond Kirsch, jenž se díky svým oslnivým supermoderním vynálezům a odvážným předpovědím stal celosvětově uznávanou osobností. Po zahájení společenské akce Langdona a několik set dalších hostů zcela uchvátí velmi originální prezentace; pečlivě naplánovaný večer se však najednou promění v chaos a hrozí, že Kirschův vzácný objev bude navždy ztracen. Langdon je v bezprostředním ohrožení nucen z Bilbaa uprchnout; doprovází ho při tom Ambra Vidalová, elegantní ředitelka muzea, která Kirschovi pomáhala provokativní společenskou akci zinscenovat. Společně se vydají do Barcelony za nebezpečným úkolem: nalézt záhadné heslo, s jehož pomocí odhalí Kirschovo tajemství. V cestě jim však stojí zákeřný nepřítel, který se nezastaví doslova před ničím…. Dan Brown (1964) Je synem středoškolského profesora matematiky a hudebnice. Brown vystudoval elitní internátní střední školu Phillips Exeter Academy a v roce 1986 absolvoval vysokou školu Amherst College.

Šifry mistra Leonarda, která se stala nejen jedním z nejprodávanějších románů všech dob, ale také předmětem intelektuálních debat mezi čtenáři a odborníky. Mezi jeho další tituly, které v Tympanu vyšly jako audioknihy, patří Andělé a démoni (2000), Pavučina lží (2001), Ztracený symbol (2009) nebo Inferno (2013). Podle všech zmíněných titulů vznikly stejnojmenné filmy s Tomem Hanksem v hlavní roli, a další se již chystá. Brownovy romány vycházejí v 56 jazycích po celém světě a už bylo vydáno přes 200 milionů výtisků. V roce 2005 byl Brown magazínem Time jmenován jedním ze 100 nejvlivnějších lidí na světě. Martin Sláma (1970) Po absolutoriu na Divadelní fakultě JAMU se stal členem činohry Národního divadla Brno, kde působí dodnes. Z dlouhého seznamu postav, které za tu dobu vytvořil, jmenujme Edgara v Králi Learovi, Hubičku ve Snu noci svatojanské, dvojroli Rechtor – Skokánek v Lišce Bystroušce nebo Bertieho, vévodu z Yorku ve Stropnického adaptaci hry Králova řeč, za něhož byl nominován na Cenu Thálie 2013. Na svém kontě má desítky nadabovaných inscenací a seriálů (Komisař Rex, Mentalista, Havaj 5-0). Televizní diváci ho znají jako strážmistra Karabelu v Četnických humoreskách.

Audiokniha: V knize Andělé a démoni americký spisovatel Dan Brown poprvé představil postavu harvardského symbologa Roberta Langdona, který se později znovu objevuje ve světovém bestselleru Da Vinciho kód. Ve špičkovém švýcarském výzkumném ústavu CERN je nalezen brutálně zavražděný vědec. Langdon je povolán k případu rituální vraždy, k jejímuž objasnění může přispět díky svým znalostem v oborech kódů a šifrování a dějin tajných společností. Strhující drama, jehož hlavní část se odehrává na půdě Vatikánu a během volby nového papeže. Ilumináti vstali z mrtvých, aby se krutě pomstili svému odvěkému nenáviděnému nepříteli: katolické církvi. Ve vatikánské Sixtinské kapli se zatím shromáždili kardinálové, aby zvolili nového papeže. Odříznutí od vnějšího světa, jak velí tradice konkláve, nemají ani tušení, že kdesi v útrobách Vatikánu odtikává supermoderní časovaná bomba. Vědí jen to, že čtyři z nich v kapli neznámo proč chybí. Langdon a jeho krásná pomocnice, vědkyně Vittorie Vetrová, spojí síly, aby rozluštila prastarý systém symbolů tvořících po Římě tajnou stezku zasvěcení. Ta je má dovést do zapomenuté iluminátské lóže, v níž chtějí nalézt klíč k záchraně Svatého města. Každé odhalení ale vede k další záhadě a neviditelný nepřítel zatím vraždí jednoho kardinála za druhým.

Vražedné tajemství zakódované do nejznámějšího Leonardova obrazu sahá až do dnešních dnů… Ve hře není nic menšího než svatý grál! Robert Langdon, uznávaný harvardský profesor symbologie, pobývá služebně v Paříži, když v jeho hotelovém pokoji zazvoní telefon. Správce uměleckých sbírek v Louvru byl zavražděn. Co s tím má společného profesor historie? Důvod leží hned vedle mrtvého těla: nevysvětlitelná šifra, kterou tam policie objevila. Langdon se pouští do pátrání a k svému ohromení náhle vidí, že kamsi do temnot vede stopa zřetelných nápovědí, viditelných pro všechny, kdo vidět chtějí, obsažených přímo v díle geniálního Leonarda da Vinci. Do hry se zapojí také talentovaná odbornice na šifry a kódy, Sophie Neveuová, a na světlo vycházejí další záhadné souvislosti, naznačující spojení zavražděného s elitní společností, tajným řádem zvaným Převorství sionské, jehož členem byl kdysi i sám Leonardo. Nastává bezdechá honba Paříží i Londýnem, zatímco nepřátelé beze jména a bez tváře se snaží všechno překazit. Pradávné tajemství, jehož zveřejnění by znamenalo přepsání lidských dějin, má zůstat navěky skryto… Autor legendární bestseller jemně přepracoval pro mladší čtenáře. Co ho k tomu vedlo? Sám Dan Brown k tomu říká: "Mnozí moji přátelé mají dospívající děti. Některé z nich zhltli dospělou verzi Šifry mistra Leonarda a ohromně se jim líbila; některým však připadaly jisté aspekty románu příliš ,dospělé‘ a odrazovala je i délka. Adaptace pro mládež se proto pokouší teenagerům zprostředkovat svět díla tím, že se poněkud zkrátí rozsah, vysvětlí určitý historický kontext a celkově se přizpůsobí jejich myšlení…" Šifra mistra Leonarda ve vydání pro mládež tak teenagerům nabízí vstupenku do fascinujícího světa románů Dana Browna. Děj je akčnější a autor zároveň více čtenářům popsal historický kontext napínavého příběhu.

(Examples include finding your lost car keys and with a shrug saying, “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again,” or feeding your actual dog and exhorting, “Time to let the big dog eat!”) 6. Does your dry cleaner, never having seen your swing but processing your bill, assume you are a golf pro? 7. Do you think of all spatial relationships in the real world in terms of golfing distance? (When parking at the mall and your wife suggests you are too far away, do you say, “What? It’s like a stock gap wedge to Panera from here.” When she disagrees, do you break out the Bushnell and shoot the store’s signage?)If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, you really, really need to quit golf. Danny Cahill will make you laugh and nod with recognition in his latest book (part social satire/ commentary; part clever psychological study) about the game of golf and its intoxicating hold on those who love it. A likeable middle-aged golfer (coping with the thought that everything is in decline at this time of life) has crossed over from healthy hobby to unmanageable obsession. He knows he should quit spending so much time working on his golf game. He knows his life at home is unraveling. But fully aware of just how much the game is laying waste to his powers, he nevertheless continues to count the hours to his next tee time. Cahill’s comic treatment of middle-age reckoning told through the lens of an obsessed golfer also takes a deep dive into the sport''s eco system and its inherent appeal (and silliness?). Cahill’s acute powers of observation will impress as he unravels golf’s ability to entice like no other endeavor—and how to ultimately let go and preserve what matters. Any serious golfer will see themselves in Cahill’s hero—they''ve thought his thoughts, shared his fears, and dealt with the effects on their family. The book will make golfers laugh, but also feel completely understood. The book explores the human need to find something that can still be improved, and through the prism of golf, examines the innate futility in trying to find meaning in a game that is, like the protagonist''s life, both impossible to master and intermittently filled with joy and sorrow. Danny Cahill is the last guy to talk to about work-life balance. As a headhunter, he has built Hobson Associates into one of the country’s largest privately held search firms. His coaching and training company, according to Danny, is the largest in the staffing industry. His motivational speaking and career coaching earned him the industry’s highest honor, the NAPS Lifetime Achievement award. In his writing life, as a playwright, he has had works produced off Broadway and won both the Maxwell Anderson and CAB theatre awards. He is the author of the popular memoir, Aging Disgracefully, and Harper’s Rules, which won an Axiom award. He attributes his success, fledgling as it is, to a systematic, consistent, and disciplined . . . neglect of loved ones.

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM BOOK CLUB PICK*''A clear, compelling guide to some of the most pressing debates in technology today.'' Bill Gates''A colourful and insightful insiders'' view of how technology is both empowering us and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.'' Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve JobsFrom Microsoft''s President and one of the tech industry''s wisest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. With new chapters on the pandemic and beyond. __________Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: when your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation.In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world''s largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no pre-existing playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech''s relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company''s most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.__________In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith takes us behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories to hit the tech industry in the past decade and some of the biggest threats we face. From Edward Snowden''s NSA leak to the NHS WannaCry ransomware attack, this book is essential reading to understand what''s happening in the world around us.Praise for Tools and Weapons: ''The de facto ambassador for the technology industry at large.'' The New York Times''In Tools and Weapons, Brad and Carol Ann Browne wrestle with some of the world''s toughest technology challenges with common sense and valuable insight reflecting their inside experience. The ideas in Tools and Weapons won''t solve all our problems, but they''re a very good place to start.'' - Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix''Tools and Weapons is a glimpse behind the curtain as Microsoft reckoned with the Snowden revelations, defended against the vicious cyberattacks, and took both the Obama and Trump administrations to court.'' - Rolling Stone

Demons, also known as The Possessed or The Devils, is a dark masterpiece that evokes a world where the lines between and good and evil long ago became blurred. This Penguin Classics edition of Fyodor Dostoyevsky''s Demons is translated by Robert A. Maguire and edited by Ronald Meyer, with an introduction by Robert L. Belknap.Pyotr Verkhovensky and Nikolai Stavrogin are the leaders of a Russian revolutionary cell. Their aim is to overthrow the Tsar, destroy society and seize power for themselves. Together they train terrorists who are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals - even if the mission means suicide. But when it seems their motley group is about to be discovered, will their recruits be willing to kill one of their own circle in order to cover their tracks? As the ensuing investigation and trial reveal the true identity of the murderer, Dostoyevsky''s and everyone''s faith in humanity is tested. Partly based on the real-life case of a student murdered by his fellow revolutionaries, Dostoyevsky''s sprawling novel is a powerful and prophetic, yet lively and often comic depiction of nineteenth-century Russia, and a savage indictment of the madness and nihilism of those who use violence to serve their beliefs. Robert A. Maguire''s superb translation captures Dostoyevsky''s vigorous prose. In his introduction, Robert L. Belknap discusses Dostoyevsky''s own revolutionary activities, his narrative technique and use of different genres, and the background of Radicalism in Imperial Russia. Edited by Ronald Meyer, this volume also includes a chronology, further reading, notes and a glossary.Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) was born in Moscow. From 1849-54 he lived in a convict prison, and in later years his passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His other works available in Penguin Classics include Crime & Punishment, The Idiot and Demons.If you enjoyed Demons, you might like Joris-Karl Huysmans'' The Damned (LÃ -Bas), also available in Penguin Classics.

The subject of “design thinking” is the rage at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to the work of IDEO, a leading design firm, and its celebrated CEO, Tim Brown, who uses this book to show how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business.The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. Change by Design explains design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs, not only with what is technically feasible, but what is viable to the bottom line. Design thinking converts need into demand. It’s a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative. Introduced a decade ago, the concept of design thinking remains popular at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to work of IDEO, the undisputed world leading strategy, innovation, and design firm headed by Tim Brown. As he makes clear in this visionary guide—now updated with addition material, including new case studies, and a new introduction—design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It’s a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, to increase the quality of patient care by re-examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change, or Kraft, to rethink supply chain management. Change by Design is not a book by designers for designers; it is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization, product, or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.

Winner NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDS in Contemporary Jewish Life & PracticeMyra H. Kraft Memorial AwardA crucial new lens on repentance, atonement, forgiveness, and repair from harm—from personal transgressions to our culture''s most painful and unresolved issues. American culture focuses on letting go of grudges and redemption narratives instead of the perpetrator’s obligations or recompense for harmed parties. As survivor communities have pointed out, these emphases have too often only caused more harm. But Danya Ruttenberg knew there was a better model, rooted in the work of the medieval philosopher Maimonides.For Maimonides, upon whose work Ruttenberg elaborates, forgiveness is much less important than the repair work to which the person who caused harm is obligated. The word traditionally translated as repentance really means something more like return, and in this book, returning is a restoration, as much as is possible, to the victim, and, for the perpetrator of harm, a coming back, in humility and intentionality, to behaving as the person we might like to believe we are.Maimonides laid out five steps: naming and owning harm; starting to change/transformation; restitution and accepting consequences; apology; and making different choices. Applying this lens to both our personal relationships and some of the most significant and painful issues of our day, including systemic racism and the legacy of enslavement, sexual violence and harassment in the wake of #MeToo, and Native American land rights, On Repentance and Repair helps us envision a way forward.Rooted in traditional Jewish concepts while doggedly accessible and available to people from any, or no, religious background, On Repentance and Repair is a book for anyone who cares about creating a country and culture that is more whole than the one in which we live, and for anyone who has been hurt or who is struggling to take responsibility for their mistakes.

Writer and commentator Danny Morrison challenges Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Irish establishment over their attitude to partition and how the closer Ireland gets to a border referendum—which could have a profound effect on the country’s constitutional future—the further they retreat from it.He accuses them of having a ‘Free State’ mentality which he describes as promoting the idea that the Twenty-Six Counties, the Republic of Ireland, is Ireland, a notion they promulgate through their pronounced usage of the terms Ireland and Northern Ireland in recent years.Morrison also challenges them on the hollowness of their argument that the IRA had an electoral mandate to wage the War of Independence. He argues that the real criteria for the justification of armed struggle were the actual social, economic and oppressive political conditions of the time; that the IRA was preparing for guerrilla warfare before the December 1918 general election, regardless of how well Sinn Féin in would do. Put crudely, in relation to what happened in the North during our most recent conflict, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s fallacious attitude is, he says, ‘Our violence was good, yours bad.’ Acceptance and recognition of these facts, Morrison says, does not infer support for the actions of the IRA of modern mainstream republicanism, but does show that there are multiple parallels, down to the characteristically unseemly, quotidian side of small wars universally which are largely repugnant.Partition, he says, was imposed on the majority of people in Ireland and northern nationalists were the main losers and victims. Had the monolithic Ulster Unionist Party tried to make nationalists/Catholics feel welcome they could have, but they didn’t. If they had, the narrative might have been different.

The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a semi-mythical beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world, through storms and tropical sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with ‘IPA’ on the label they are, to be frank, a pale imitation of the original. For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying it is the award-winning Pete Brown, Britain’s best beer write. Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he even make it that far, have fallen in the canal just a few miles out of Burton? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the world with ‘Barry’ the barrel, one question remains: what will the real IPA taste like? Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, Hops and Glory is both a rollicking, raucous history of the Raj and a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced.
