Společenský román a jedna z nejúspěšnějších amerických knih posledních let. Hluboký a dojemný příběh zasazený do 60. let 20. století na americký Jih je vyprávěn očima tří výjimečných žen. V době panující rasové segregace se mladá běloška slečna Skeeterová s pomocí moudré Aibileen a rázovité Minny rozhodne ukázat svět očima černých hospodyň, čímž převrátí vzhůru nohama město i způsob, jakým se na sebe dívají ženy – matky, dcery, pečovatelky, přítelkyně. Za otázkami rasismu i postavením ženy ve společnosti tkví hlubší poselství o hranicích, těch skutečných i těch, které existují v našich myslích.

Černobílý svět je niternou zpovědí a odpovědí na vnitřní i vnější krize Mariana Friedla a další originální stopou v jeho hudební dráze. Na ní urazil cestu od dřevního folkloru s kapelou RukyNaDudy, přes akustické world music s triem Jitky Šuranské, jazzové desky s norsko-českou formací NOCZ, jeho osobité fúze mnoha žánrů v projektech Beránci a vlci či 11 PODOB LÁSKY až k nynější čistě autorské desce s výrazným podílem elektroniky a sound designu. Marian Friedl zpívá, recituje a používá řadu nástrojů z jeho instrumentáře jako karpatské píšťaly, kontrabas, klarinet, gallichon, dudy aj. Spoluproducent a spoluhráč Martin Kocián (mj. známý z tria Nikol Bókové nebo rakousko-české formace Purple Is The Color) dává Marianovým písním specifickou zvukovou tvář propojením akustiky a elektroniky.

Elektronická kniha - autor Michal Kotyk, 380 stran Moje kniha je něco mezi vyprávěním o mém životě, sbírkou faktů a i volných úvah. Prostě jsem zachytil to, co se dělo kolem mne v rozmezí asi 30 let. Převážně v Izraeli. Snažím se nebýt středem dění, spíše zprostředkovatelem. Tak jak to vyžaduje profese novináře, reportéra a hlavně kameramana. Prostě dívat se kolem a seznámit s tím i ostatní. V textu jsem se ale soustředil spíše na to, co mediální svět opomíjel, pokládaje to za neatraktivní. Tato častá mediální negace totiž často přináší nesrozumitelnost a neopodstatnění mnohých událostí. Respektive, nedá čtenáři, posluchači či diváku možnost si vše zařadit do kontextu dění, a tak posoudit i samotnou důležitost. Byl jsem často přitom, snažil jsem se mnohému zabánit, ale ne vždy mi to bylo umožněno. Teď se tedy pokouším vše trochu napravit s nadějí, že naleznu jak porozumění, tak i přispěji k objasnění té či oné politické anebo mediální události. Zvláště takových,...

Příručka, kterou by měl vlastnit každý domácí fermentista Jádrem knihy je ovšem pečlivě vybraná sbírka 100 receptů na zpracování kysaného zelí, rychle kvašené i ve vlastní šťávě fermentované zeleniny a kimči, pálivých chilli omáček, kvašeného ovoce a ovocného želé, kombuchy, a dokonce i alkoholických ciderů a medoviny. Je to prostě příručka, kterou by měl vlastnit každý domácí fermentista - spoustu praktických informací v ní totiž najde nejen ten, kdo se to s fermentací teprve chystá vyzkoušet a přemýšlí o své první skleničce kvašené zeleniny, ale i ten, kdo pokrmy či nápoje touto přirozenou cestou vyrábí už léta.

A spellbinding new YA fairytale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Purdie, breathing new life into folklore and myth - with a touch of magic all her own… Once upon a time, villagers would whisper their desires to The Book of Fortunes, and its pages would reveal how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book for evil. Afterward, the branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away and the village withered. The villagers tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its border, they never returned. Despite the warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on the journey into the deadly forest to procure the Book of Fortunes - to reverse the curse and save her mother and village. Clara's friend Axel puts aside his longing for her to join the journey - the young travellers have set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one else has been able to before. Alas, the forest - alive with dark, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales - has a mind of its own… A dark and sparkling tale of romance, courage and magic.

Shortlisted for the BMA Book Awards and Macavity Awards 2016Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it''s fiction doesn’t mean it''s all made-up ...Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random – the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?Christie''s extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.

'The perfect book to escape our human-sized existence and take a tour of the atomic world instead.' Helen Arney, science comedian and broadcaster When we think of the periodic table we picture orderly rows of elements that conform to type and never break the rules. In this book Kathryn Harkup reveals that there are personalities, passions, quirks and historical oddities behind those ordered rows, and shows us that the periodic table is a sprawling family tree with its own black sheep, wayward cousins and odd uncles. The elements in the periodic table, like us, are an extended family - some old, some newborn, some shy and reticent, some exuberant or unreliable. Dr Harkup tells the weird and wonderful stories of just fifty two members of this family - remarkable tales of discovery, inspiration and revolution, from the everyday to the extraordinary. Some elements are relatively anonymous; others, already familiar, are seen in a new light; and old friends have surprising secrets to share. From our green-fingered friend magnesium to the devil incarnate polonium, this eclectic collection of engaging and informative stories will change the way you see the periodic table for ever.

WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE CHRISTOPHER BLAND PRIZEA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK'Truly heart-warming ... It's become my comfort book' JACQUELINE WILSON'Told from inside one of the UK's most overlooked professions, this home careworker's memoir is warm, raw, and unflinchingly honest. The sad moments are balanced with the funny, heartwarming ones' i paperA luminous, uplifting and deeply moving memoir by a care worker, told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating, and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for. Kate never expected to become a home care worker. But when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. Despite being determined not to become too involved with her 'customers', she soon found herself developing firm friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. With energy, compassion and clarity, her memoir gives an astonishing insight into this unsung - and often maligned - profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. From Beryl who screams like a banshee whenever Kate tries to wash her, but collapses in giggles when her toes are tickled, to bawdy Mr Radbert who 'promised to give me his car when he can remember where he left it'. Every Kind of People is clear-eyed about the challenges facing the NHS and the care system. But it is above all a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those who offer it and those who receive it. 'Being as close as this to someone is a uniquely precious place to be. It is a place where secrets are revealed and fears are shared and outrageous jokes are made that could not be told to anyone else. It is a coal face of human experience'---'The work of a natural storyteller ... All kinds of brilliant' JON McGREGOR‘I am in love with Kate's storytelling, her ability to see the person and her fabulous, dry humour. This is a book about caring, and it's also a book about being in love with humanity’ KATHRYN MANNIX'An extraordinary account of what it is to care for others, both beautiful and painful to read.
