USA TODAY BESTSELLERAuthor, speaker, and former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux offers an honest, no-holds-barred account of what has really been happening in Ukraine and shares powerful stories that are soaked in resiliency and determination, faith and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming opposition.When Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux knew that innocent people were about to be exposed to untold brutality. He also knew that God was inviting him to get involved. With little idea of the trials that would follow, Chad''s response was simple and clear: "yes." As he gathered a team of elite special operations veterans, he invited his twenty-five-year-old son, Hunter--also a Marine combat veteran--to partner with him in Ukraine. Over the course of seven trips, Chad saw a change in Hunter as his confidence grew and he exceled among the team. Chad''s own faith also grew as he learned to relinquish control and trust God with his son and what he witnessed in the brutality of war.A Mission Without Borders is a powerful account of the lessons we can learn whenever we say yes to God. Chad''s experience will help readersunderstand what the conflict in Ukraine was like for everyday citizens beyond the political fog;discover how a bond can grow between a father and son as they face hardship together; andrealize that God doesn''t just call us to go to the aid of the people we know and love, sometimes he calls us to help strangers--because it''s the right thing to do. A Mission Without Borders will take readers deep into the war in Ukraine. From Russia''s use of ballistic and chemical weapons on civilians, to the inspirational story of the role that the Ukrainian church has played in the war, Chad''s story of courage and hope needs to be heard. It is rich in human and spiritual truth and will connect deeply with readers of all walks.

Major Alexander Sanderson DSO, MC & Bar, MiD was one of the ablest and most experienced mining engineers to serve on the Western Front in the First World War. Following on from his early, adventurous life in the outback, in this biography, written by his grandson, we reveal the full story of the highly technical war he waged below, and above, No Man’s Land near Lens in France as part of the 3rd Australian Tunnelling Company. As a young New Zealand-born student of the West Australian Engineer-in-Chief, he attended the School of Mines and became an underground goldmine manager alongside H.C. Hoover, the future US President. After a construction business venture with his friend John Monash (later General Sir), he undertook camel treks across the harsh Ashburton desert, sinking artesian wells and gold prospecting, before joining the Army, having abandoned his claim to a million-acre cattle station to do so. Enrolling as a Captain (HQ staff), as a Mining Corps expert Sanderson was tasked with listing all the equipment, such as winches, fans, generators etc., necessary for speeding up a war underground. Sanderson’s first Military Cross was awarded for his role during the Battle of Fromelles in July 1916, during which he was wounded by shellfire while repairing an explosive charge in No Man’s Land. Sent to Hill 70 at Loos, his Company was at once pitched into a silent, deadly underground ‘cat and mouse’ war of nerves with German pioneers. Sanderson’s rapid survey of the galleries and his alert listeners’ acuity soon pinpointed the tunnels of the out-manoeuvred enemy miners. Hit by three huge camouflets, the enemy ceased mining. Sanderson’s second MC and wound stripe were awarded after a successful night-time raid to destroy enemy shafts. When his CO was killed by a sniper, he took over command. We also read how the Australians constructed a vast network of defensive subways for the infantry from La Bassée to Hill 70\. Sanderson’s defensive Hythe Tunnel, constructed in 1918, complete with pivoting bascule doors and sliding internal walls, was considered one of the finest tunnels on the Western Front. During the Blitz in the Second World War, Sanderson was put in charge of repairs to the bomb-damaged London Underground. Such was his tunnelling skills, he was also a consultant structural engineer for both the Cabinet War Rooms and Churchill’s underground bunker, following which Winston presented him with a box of his cigars as a token of the Prime Minister’s appreciation. Such was Sanderson’s technical ability, in 1942 he submitted secret revolutionary ‘Tilt-wing’ and ‘Vertical Take Off’ aeronautical designs to the Air Ministry, all of which are revealed in this biography of one man’s service in two world wars.

Visionary baker Chad Robertson unveils what’s next in bread, drawing on a decade of innovation in grain farming, flour milling, and fermentation with all-new ground-breaking formulas and techniques for making his most nutrient-rich and sublime loaves, rolls, and more—plus recipes for nourishing meals that showcase them.“The most rewarding thing about making bread is that the process of learning never ends. Every day is a new study . . . the possibilities are infinite.”—from the IntroductionMore than a decade ago, Chad Robertson’s country levain recipe taught a generation of bread bakers to replicate the creamy crumb, crackly crust, and unparalleled flavor of his world-famous Tartine bread. His was the recipe that launched hundreds of thousands of sourdough starters and attracted a stream of understudies to Tartine from across the globe. Now, in Bread Book, Robertson and Tartine’s director of bread, Jennifer Latham, explain how high-quality, sustainable, locally sourced grain and flours respond to hydration and fermentation to make great bread even better. Experienced bakers and novices will find Robertson’s and Latham’s primers on grain, flour, sourdough starter, leaven, discard starter, and factoring dough formulas refreshingly easy to understand and use. With sixteen brilliant formulas for naturally leavened doughs—including country bread (now reengineered), rustic baguettes, flatbreads, rolls, pizza, and vegan and gluten-free loaves, plus tortillas, crackers, and fermented pasta made with discarded sourdough starter—Bread Book is the wild-yeast baker ’s flight plan for a voyage into the future of exceptional bread.

Pokud existují tři věci, které posunou vaše fotografování, jsou to: kompozice, kompozice a kompozice. Bylo by možné to říci i jinak třemi slovy na K: kreativní kompozice, kámo. To třetí slovíčko, „kámo“, je možné dle libosti nahradit jiným, vaší přirozenosti bližším, třeba „kapišto?“ apod. Michael Freeman ve své nejnovější knize zúročil mnoho let své fotografické i pedagogické praxe a spolupráce s řadou vydavatelství prestižních časopisů i publikací. Staví před fotografa zásadní otázku: Jak jste spokojen se svými fotografiemi? Chcete se posunout dál? A odpovídá na ni jasně a konkrétně: Jde to, ale musíte probudit svoji kreativitu. Fotografující majitelé fotoaparátů jsou velmi často sváděni vějičkami typu: Tři rady (nebo pět, deset…), které hned a výrazně vylepší vaše fotografie. Tak jako neexistují žádné úžasné a 100% návody na rychlé zhubnutí, zbohatnutí nebo naučení se několika cizím jazykům, neexistuje ani žádný instantní návod na dobrou fotografii. Existuje ale několik cest, jak se naučit fotografovat lépe. Michael Freeman těch cest ukazuje 50. Jde o způsoby, jak probudit vlastní kreativitu a jak se naučit s ní pracovat. Kreativita není něco, co bylo někomu dáno a jinému odepřeno. Je však zapotřebí ji v sobě hledat a objevovat. Je možné naučit se pravidlo třetin a potom čekat, až se fotografie zlepší. Freemanova kniha 50 cest ke kreativní fotografii není seznamem několika pravidel a neobsahuje ani zázračné pilulky proti špatným fotografiím. Je to praktický, bezpečný a zasvěcený průvodce na cestě ke kreativní fotografii. Autor knihy, Michael Freeman, mezinárodně uznávaný fotograf a propagátor digitální fotografie, je českým čtenářům velmi dobře známý. Překlady většiny jeho bestsellerů vyšly ve vydavatelství Zoner Press, nejznámější z nich jsou Očima fotografa, Myslete jako fotograf, Dobrá fotografie nebo Perfektní expozice, které tuto publikaci skvěle doplňují.

Crying Freeman: Plačící drak je přístupný od osmnácti let výše. Nabízí příběh vraha, který se zamiluje do jedné ze svých obětí. Crying Freeman je kriminálka, ve které se spojuje romantika s brutální nelítostností. Je to jako příběh Romeo a Julie převyprávěný markýzem de Sade a natočený Tony Scottem. Japonsky přepálené emoce a osudovost se tu střetávají s tím, co se pohledu evropana může jevit jako naprostá amorálnost. To vše navíc naprosto precizně vykreslené s perfektně rozfázovanými akčními scénami. Text praví: Jmenuje se Jo Hinomura a je nájemným vrahem čínské mafie zvané Sto osm draků. V kriminálním podsvětí, které z něj má strach, je však známý jako Plačící drak, zabiják, který nad osudem svých obětí prolévá slzy. Mladý, krásný a citlivý umělec Jo byl svými dračími pány psychologicky naprogramován, aby zabíjel na rozkaz. Vůli svých pánů se vzepřít nemůže, oni však zase nemohou zastavit jeho slzy lítosti. Manga Crying Freeman, kterou napsal legendární Kazuo Koike, autor série Lone Wolf and Cub (Osamělý vlk a vlče), a nakreslil nedostižný Rjoiči Ikegami, je čtením pro dospělé se vším všudy: je temná, násilná, morálně složitá a eroticky nabitá. Po celém světě je považovaná za mistrovské dílo v oblasti komiksů pro dospělé a je jedním z klenotů mezi dnes již klasickými mangami.

Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943), podobne ako jeho slávny spisovateľský predchodca sir Arthur Conan Doyle, bol pôvodným povolaním lekár. Svoje medicínske poznatky a metódy práce dokázal dobre zužitkovať aj vo svojej literárnej tvorbe: stal sa duchovným otcom literárnej postavy prvého vedeckého detektíva, súdneho lekára Dr. Thorndyka, predobrazu dnešných forenzných vyšetrovateľov. Ešte aj dnes dýchajú jeho pátrania čarom a milou patinou zaprášeného chemického laboratória s Bunsenovým horákom. Dr. John Thorndyke - impozantný gentleman s neodmysliteľným zeleným kufríkom, v ktorom si nosí prenosné laboratórium, je predchodcom dnešného žánru forenznej detektívky. Nadväzuje na vedeckú, "chemickú" stránku svojho predobrazu - slávneho Sherlocka Holmesa. R. Austin Freeman vo svojich detektívnych príbehoch kladie dôraz na perfektne prepracovanú technickú stránku zločinu a pri jeho vyšetrovaní na vedecké skúmanie materiálnych stôp. Kosti zavraždených obetí spievajú: Dr. Thorndyke hovorí, že každý predmet vie zaspievať svoju pieseň, ak pozorne nastražíme uši. Všetky experimenty a teórie, ktoré spisovateľ autor využil vo svojich detektívkach, ako vedec aj sám otestoval v laboratóriu. Na základe poznatkov špecializovaných vied Dr. Thorndyke s brilantnou logikou vyvodzuje svoje neotrasiteľné závery, vedúce k odhaleniu vraha. Richard Austin Freeman má významné miesto vo vývine detektívneho žánru: ako prvý ešte pred pátrom Knoxom sformuloval detektívne pravidlá fair play a vyskúšal si aj experiment tzv. príbehu obráteného naruby (inverted story). S prekladom jeho detektívneho románu prichádza k nášmu čitateľovi absolútna detektívna klasika.

Audiokniha: Sériový vrah omylem propuštěný na svobodu se stává noční můrou pro San Francisco – a smrtící výzvou pro detektiva Frosta Eastona. Před čtyřmi lety byl Rudy Cutter odsouzen za své činy na doživotí. Aby ho dostali za mříže, někdo záměrně falšoval spisy. Po odhalení této machinace je Rudy, vrah Frostovy sestry, znovu volný. Frost to však hodlá co nejrychleji napravit. Spojence nachází v Eden Shayové, která píše o Cutterovi knihu. A která se obává jeho pomsty. Sehrát vítěznou partii s vrahem, jenž se chystá znovu udeřit, však není jednoduché. Ne, když Frost zároveň čelí vlastním démonům. Ne, když je ta hra tak osobní. A ne, když vrahův následující tah je na hony vzdálen tomu, co Easton očekává.

''A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS''FASCINATING… SHOCKING'' SPECTATORWhat is paranoia? What makes us anxious? How can this be overcome?Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all.

Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling series. Bourne is back... Jason Bourne has faced many killers before, but none as dangerous as the assassin who calls himself Lennon. Bourne thought he had Lennon cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Now Lennon's trail leads Bourne to New York and then to Washington D.C. and the body count rises with each deadly encounter. Bourne believes the assassin has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid. The only clue to the group's agenda is a young German woman, murdered in D.C. on her way to a covert meeting. But the woman's entire identity turns out to be a lie, and news reports of her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed. Finding the truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon and uncover the conspiracy behind the Pyramid. But the chase comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and the battle against Lennon and the Pyramid will soon put Abbey in the assassin's crosshairs. Bourne will need to use every bit of his tradecraft and his genius for mayhem to expose this web of lies and murder before Lennon kills the woman he loves. Praise for Brian Freeman's Bourne books: 'Freeman has a firm grasp of Bourne's tangled background plus the skills to keep the action front and center.

Over the course of ten years, Freeman''s has introduced the English-speaking world to countless writers of international import and acclaim, from Olga Tokarczuk to Valeria Luiselli, while also spotlighting brilliant writers working in English, from Tommy Orange to Tess Gunty. Now, in its last issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of reaching a fitting conclusion.For Sayaka Murata, keeping up with the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional landscapes can mean being left behind, and in her poem ''Amenorrhea'' Julia Alverez experiences the end of the line as menopause takes hold. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian landscapes. While Chinelo Okparanta''s story ''Fatu'' confronts the end of a relationship under the spectre of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story ''Everyone at Dinner Has a Max Von Sydow Story,'' Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don''t have neat or clean endings - that sometimes the middle is enough.With new writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad and Mieko Kawakami, Freeman''s: Conclusions is a testament to the startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty, fear and promise.

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE ****Return to ScadrialFor years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set - with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders - since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner, Wayne, find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between the capital, Elendel, and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate - whose corruption Wax and his wife, Steris, have sought to expose - and Bilming is even more entangled.After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial''s god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn''t the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere - Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost.Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.****FANTASY DOESN''T GET BETTER THAN SANDERSON: ''Highly recommend to anyone hungry for a good read'' ROBIN HOBB ''Epic in every sense'' GUARDIAN ''Sanderson is the most immersive fantasy writer I''ve ever encountered'' BEN AARONOVITCH ''All the explosive action any adventure fan could want'' LOCUS

Audiokniha: Když nemůžeš tyrana zabít ani zajmout, nezbývá než skoncovat s jeho režimem…Ve světě zahaleném v popelu, který se už přes tisíc let dennodenně snáší na hlavy všech jeho obyvatel, se rozkládá mocná Finální říše s hlavním městem Luthadel, kde sídlí nesmrtelný Pán Vládce, nejmocnější šlechtické rody i Ministerstvo plné povýšených byrokratů a obávaných inkvizitorů. Bohatství těchto elit vyrostlo z nelidského utrpení a otrocké práce skaatů, kteří se proti nenasytným mocipánům konečně rozhodli povstat. Naděje upírají k proslulému lupiči Kelsierovi, jenž v sobě objevil výjimečně silnou schopnost allomancie a coby jediný známý neurozený mistborn dokáže z niterného spalování různých kovů čerpat neobvyklou sílu. Anebo ovlivňovat druhé. Podobným nadáním v menší míře disponují i jeho kumpáni mistingové, s jejichž přispěním hodlá skaatským rebelům pomoct se svržením tyranie. Avšak ani oni netuší, jakou roli v jeho smělých plánech sehraje mladičká zlodějka Vin, u které Kelsier odhalil talent vlastní pouze mistbornům, a tak ji nečekaně přibral do gangu zkušených. Začíná se psát velká dobrodružná epopej, v níž nebude nouze o napětí, intriky, nečekané zvraty ani drsné žertování…První díl oceňované fantastické ságy, jež vyniká inovativním pojetím magie v originálním světě zahaleném mlhou a popelem. „Autor tu vytvořil fascinující svět, který si zaslouží pokračování.“ – The Washington Post„Mistborn je vskutku netradiční příběh. Přinejmenším zpočátku je více podobný Dannyho parťákům s trochou magie než například Pánu Prstenů, a pro čtenáře klasičtější fantasy je zaručeným osvěžením.“ – Fantasymag.cz„[Sanderson] důmyslně spojuje klasické téma s originálními prvky, což jeho románu dává punc jedinečnosti, kterou navíc podporuje i neotřelý systém magie.“ – Fantasya.cz„Celá sága je vystavěna tak důmyslně, že je téměř nemožné knihy odložit.“ – Forbes„Sanderson píše natolik zručně a hladce, že bez zaškobrtnutí propojuje rozdílné perspektivy, vplétá do příběhu jednotlivé postavy a dbá o to, abyste mezi ně spravedlivě rozdělili sympatie i antipatie.“ – Fantasy Book Review

''Blazes with love'' Keggie Carew ''Warm and insightful'' Polly Morland ''A love song to classical music'' Rachel Joyce Listen with Father is a book about the transformative power of listening, and about how we remember those we have loved and lost. At four years old, Caroline Sanderson fell in love with the music of Mozart after listening to it with her father. At eight, she fell even harder for the songs of David Bowie. Her dad made many gentle attempts to persuade her back to his world of classical music, but it wasn’t until after he died that she returned to it, in memory of him. In a beguiling blend of memoir and biography, we follow Sanderson as she set out to listen, with great care and attention, to the music her dad loved, to work out why he so appreciated it and whether she could too. From hearing Mozart recitals in Salzburg to visiting Sibelius’s house near Helsinki and playing Robert Schumann at home on the piano, this is a beautifully touching and absorbing story of a beloved father, told through the classical music he cherished. ''A tender meditation on listening – to music, to memory and to the conversations we wish we’d had'' Freya Bromley, author of The Tidal Year ''Like the best classical music, it ignites our imagination, and is a deeply human adventure in music''s power to affect our emotional lives'' Lily Dunn, author of Sins of My Father
