Ve zvláštním, nenápadném domově postaveném ve větvích stromů žijí tři roboti - otcovský vynalézavý android Giovanni Lawson, mile sadistická mechanická ošetřovatelka a malý, neurotický vysavač. A žije s nimi i Victor Lawson, člověk. Jsou jedna rodina, schovaná a v bezpečí. Poté, co Vic z blízkého šrotoviště zachrání a opraví neznámého androida s označením "HAP", doženou Gia ozvuky temné minulosti, a to tím nejhorším možným způsobem. Stačí totiž jen jediná kapka krve z Victorovy dlaně, aby upozornila roboty z Giova předchozího života na to, kde se nachází.

Described by the Sunday Times as 'a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit’, this biography is the inspiration behind the 2024 film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller. Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life’s adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Miller’s finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penrose’s tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.

eBook: Když se chlapec – nyní muž – z domu na konci cesty vrátí, může Ox ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní? Oxovi bylo dvanáct, když mu jeho tatínek udělil velmi cennou lekci. Prohlásil, že Ox za nic nestojí a lidi ho nikdy nepochopí. Pak odešel. Oxovi bylo šestnáct, když na cestě potkal chlapce; chlapce, který mluvil a mluvil a mluvil. Ox později zjistil, že před tímto dnem chlapec nepromluvil skoro dva roky a že patří k rodině, která se nastěhovala do domu na konci ulice. Oxovi bylo sedmnáct, když odhalil chlapcovo tajemství, které zbarvilo svět okolo něj do odstínů červené a oranžové a fialové, alfy a bety a omegy. Oxovi bylo třiadvacet, když do města vtrhli vrahové a zanechali mu díru v hlavě i v srdci. Chlapec se pustil za netvorem s pomstou ve svých krvavě rudých očích a nechal Oxe, aby poskládal střípky svého života zpátky dohromady sám. Od toho osudného dne uplynuly tři roky – a chlapec je zpátky. Jenže teď je z něj muž a Ox už nemůže dál ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní.

eBook: TJ Klune vás zve hluboko do srdce prapodivného lesa a na mimořádnou cestu rodiny poskládané z náhradních dílů. Ve zvláštním, nenápadném domově postaveném ve větvích stromů žijí tři roboti – otcovský vynalézavý android Giovanni Lawson, mile sadistická mechanická ošetřovatelka a malý, neurotický vysavač. A žije s nimi i Victor Lawson, člověk. Jsou jedna rodina, schovaná a v bezpečí. Poté, co Vic z blízkého šrotoviště zachrání a opraví neznámého androida s označením „HAP“, doženou Gia ozvuky temné minulosti, a to tím nejhorším možným způsobem. Stačí totiž jen jediná kapka krve z Victorovy dlaně, aby upozornila roboty z Giova předchozího života na to, kde se nachází. A zatímco se Vicův domov hroutí v plamenech, Gio je zajat a odvezen zpátky do své staré laboratoře ve Městě elektrických snů. Zbytek Vicovy nesourodé rodiny se tak musí vydat na cestu nehostinnou krajinou, aby Gia zachránil před vyřazením, nebo ještě hůř, před přeprogramováním. Cestou za záchranou Gia musí Vic, zmítaný protichůdnými pocity zrady a náklonnosti k Hapovi, učinit rozhodnutí: Dokáže přijmout lásku s podmínkami?

This revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of mathematics is as entertaining as it is important.

For millennia, Stoicism has been the ancient philosophy that attracts those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. And no wonder: its embrace of self-mastery, virtue and indifference to that which we cannot control has much to offer those grappling with today's chaotic world. But who were the Stoics? In this book, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman offer a fresh approach to understanding Stoicism through the lives of the people who practiced it - from Cicero to Zeno, Cato to Seneca, Diogenes to Marcus Aurelius.Through short biographies of all the famous, and lesser-known, Stoics, this book will show what it means to live stoically, and reveal the lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes. The result is a treasure trove of insights for anyone in search of living a good life.

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of a fascinating, sometimes contradictory man.James Lovelock is best known as the father of Gaia Theory, the idea that life on Earth is a self-sustaining system in which organisms interact with their environments to maintain a habitable ecosystem.Lovelock''s life was a chronicle of twentieth-century science, and somehow he seemed to have a hand in much of it. During the Second World War he worked at the National Medical Research Institute, where his life-long interest in chemical tracing began. In the 1960s he worked at NASA. He worked for MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. He was a science advisor to the oil giant Shell, who he warned as early as 1966 that fossil fuels were causing serious harm to the environment. He invented the technology that found the hole in the Ozone layer. And all of this shaped Gaia Theory - a theory that could not have been developed without the collaboration of two important women in his life. Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most fascinating scientists of the modern age.

Lara Love Hardin recounts her slide from soccer mom to opioid addict to jailhouse shot caller and her unlikely comeback as a highly successful ghostwriter in this harrowing, hilarious, no-holds-barred memoir.

But soccer mom Lara Love Hardin has been hiding a shady secret: she is funding her heroin addiction by stealing her neighbors' credit cards.Lara is convicted of thirty-two felonies and becomes inmate S32179. She finds that jail is a class system with a power structure that is somewhere between an adolescent sleepover party and Lord of the Flies. Furniture is made from tampon boxes, and Snickers bars are currency.But Lara quickly learns the rules and brings love and healing to her fellow inmates as she climbs the social ladder and acquires the nickname "Mama Love," showing that jailhouse politics aren't that different from the PTA meetings she used to attend. When she's released, she reinvents herself as a ghostwriter. Now, she's legally co-opting other people's identities and getting to meet Oprah, meditate with the Dalai Lama, and have dinner with Archbishop Desmond Tutu.But the shadow of her past follows her. Shame is a poison worse than heroin-there is no way to detox. Lara must learn how to forgive herself and others, navigate life as a felon on probation, and prove to herself that she is more good than bad, among other essential lessons.The Many Lives of Mama Love is a heartbreaking and tender journey from shame to redemption, despite a system that makes it almost impossible for us to move beyond the worst thing we have ever done.
