Je morálně oprávněné, aby medicína nejen léčila nemoci, ale i vylepšovala člověka? Věda by mohla v dohledné době zvýšit lidskou inteligenci, zlepšit paměť, prodloužit život a zpomalit stárnutí, a dokonce i zdokonalit náš charakter. V současné diskusi naneštěstí převládají extrémní pozice -- na jedné straně konzervatismus, varující před nástupem zdokonalených nadlidí, kteří si podmaní zbytek lidstva, na straně druhé nekritický optimismus, věřící v technologické řešení všech lidských problémů. Americký bioetik Allen Buchanan ve své čtivé knize odmítá jak konzervatismus, neboť lidský genom se stále vyvíjí a zásah do něj není přestupkem ani proti bohu, ani proti přírodě, tak přehnaný optimismus, který podceňuje nezamýšlené důsledky vylepšování.

Kniha - autor Tom King, 272 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Zamávejte Visionovým! VISION chce být jako člověk, a co je víc lidského než rodina? Proto se vrací zpátky tam, kde to všechno začalo. Do laboratoře, kde mu dal Ultron život a přeměnil jej ve zbraň. Do místa, kde se poprvé vzepřel předurčenému osudu a uvědomil si, že by mohl být něčím víc – že by mohl být člověkem. Právě zde je tedy stvořil. Virginii, manželku. Viv a Vina, dvojčata v pubertě. Vypadají jako on. Mají i stejné superschopnosti. A sdílí také jeho největší touhu (nebo je to posedlost?): neutuchající potřebu být zcela obyčejnými lidmi. Jsou to prostě jen sousedi odvedle, akorát nás můžou kdykoliv všechny zabít. Tak žádné obavy, vždyť co by se mohlo stát? Připravte se na zlomená umělá srdce, těla, která nezůstanou pohřbena, pravdu, jež bude odhalena... a na Visiona, který se navždycky změní.

"Existuje bytost odpornější než člověk? Galachov kdesi četl, že v jednom africkém kmeni nutili starce vylézt na vysoký strom. Pak ke stromu přistoupili statní muži a třásli jím. Kdo spadl a zabil se, toho snědli, těm, kteří se udrželi, bylo dovoleno ještě nějaký čas žít." Tato slova, jimiž začíná jedna ze tří mistrovských novel, jimiž českému čtenáři představujeme prozaickou tvorbu významného současného ruského spisovatele a myslitele Vladimira Kantora, označovaného za pokračovatele F. M. Dostojevského, V. S. Solovjova a N. Berd'ajeva, jakoby předznamenávala okruh témat, která se na pozadí prostých lidských příběhů ze všední, až banální současnosti ruského života před čtenářem otevírají: aktuální stav lidské společnosti a obecněji civilizace, rozpad tradičních morálních hodnot, lidská lhostejnost, egoismus, nadčasová otázka smyslu života, smrti a lidského údělu vůbec. Vladimir Kantor, v popředí jehož zájmu je filozofie ruských dějin a kultury, ovšem není pouhým moralistou brojícím proti zlořádům dnešní společnosti a nostalgicky či naivně se ohlížejícím zpět do dávné minulosti, jeho pronikavé náhledy na současný svět i na jeho možné budoucí směřování vycházejí z hluboké znalosti historie, a to jak ruské, tak evropské.

Elektronická kniha - autor Vladimír Koubenec, 408 stran, česky Výrazně čtivý román Nejlepší je, když dobré je lepší než lepší má tři základní linie, ve kterých se prolíná současnost s minulostí: První se týká událostmi nabitého aktuálního několikadenního výletu nbsp;čtyř sedmdesátiletých přátel, druhou linii představují reminiscence jejich dřívějších, většinou společných příhod a jejich rozdílné interpretace. Třetí linie příběhu se váže na osobní vzpomínky a zamyšlení vypravěče. Román je plný jiskřivých dialogů i situací, ve kterých se protagonisté, stejně jako kdysi za mlada, s nbsp;různou intenzitou dohadují a štengrují. Všechno dokreslují interakce při nahodilých setkání s neznámými nbsp;lidmi i řada vtipných glos a postřehů nad světem v nbsp;polohách od čistokrevného veselí přes jisté groteskno až k nbsp;různým existenciálním úvahám a glosám.

Kniha - autor Rose Lagercrantz, 160 stran, slovensky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Je jar a Tina sa chystá odletieť do Ríma na ockovu svadbu. Podľa nej najväčšiu zásluhu na tom, že sa sobáš uskutoční, má práve ona. Pobúri ju však, keď sa dozvie, že na svadbu nepozvali Fridu, lebo ocko si to neželá. A čo na to Frida, že ju nepozvali? Nuž, zatiaľ to ešte nevie, lebo je s rodinou na ostrove a pomáha s jarným upratovaním chatky. Tak to vyzerá v siedmej knihe o priateľstve Tiny a Fridy. Vzdialenosť medzi priateľkami v poslednom čase narastá, stretávajú sa čoraz menej. Príbehy o Tine a Fride hovoria o dôvere a oddanosti. A neľahkej láske. Ale i vzdialená láska je predsa lepšia ako žiadna. Do Tininho sveta by mali všetci vojsť a zohriať sa. Jazyk Rosy Lagercrantz je prostý, vyvážený ako poézia, kde má každá slabika svoj význam.

Reckoning with Race is a firsthand account of race relations in America from award-winning journalist, author, and former CNN commentator, Rick Allen. Allen''s collection of essays shows the progress our country has made -- and how much further we have to go. In his fifty-year career as an award-winning journalist, CNN commentator, and author of multiple books, Rick Allen has had a front-row seat on dramatic change in race relations in America. In Reckoning with Race, a collection of eighteen essays, he explores his ongoing efforts to understand the struggle of black and white Americans to navigate a shared history at once wicked and intimate, full of love and hate, as they seek to level an uneven playing field. Allen examines issues from the era of Reconstruction through Jim Crow, the Civil Rights movement, the rhythms of resistance and progress, into today''s contentious debates over redlining, reparations, and critical race theory. Starting as a reporter with the Atlanta Constitution in 1972, Allen got to know and befriend legendary black political figures including Julian Bond, John Lewis, Andy Young, Hosea Williams, Maynard Jackson, Jesse Jackson, and Daddy King, the father of Martin Luther King, Jr. He also encountered ardent white segregationists, some of whom saw the light and others who took their racism to the grave. Drawing on his experience covering politics, he examines presidents from LBJ and Jimmy Carter to Obama and Trump. He explores the symbolism of Confederate flags, the controversy over Uncle Remus, the election of Atlanta''s first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, and the tragic case of the Atlanta Child Murders. He has had first-hand encounters with white supremacy and violent black protest alike. Throughout Reckoning with Race, Allen is candid about his own shortcomings as a white native Northerner learning gradually about the complexities of race in his adoptive South. The essays highlight his continuing journey toward understanding the forces that both hinder and promote equality and harmony between the races.

The quintessential guide to Woody Allen's lifetime of work, Woody Allen: Film by Film examines each of Allen's movies, from when he vented his first neuroses in 1965 with What's New Pussycat, by way of Oscar winner Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, all the way to his latest works of Wonder Wheel and Cafe Society. Woody Allen has enjoyed a career unlike any other writer or director in Hollywood. The impact of his comedy and his psychoanalysis of the modern world have been hugely influential and had a profound effect on popular culture ever since. Filled with key images of his films, as well as lots of behind-the-scenes content.As Woody said about himself: 'The two biggest myths about me are that I'm an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I'm an artist because my films lose money.' As self-critical as ever - and with a hotly tipped Oscar material new film scheduled for the end of 2017 - Woody Allen remains a force to be reckoned with.

Can you blame him?'Maybe what I really want is to make sense of all people’s lives. Of everything, the whole shebang'A middle-aged Jewish journalist turned novelist and playwright, consumed with anxiety about everything under the sun, Baum's turgid philosophical books receive tepid reviews and his prestigious New York publisher has dropped him. His third marriage is on the rocks and he suspects his handsome and successful younger brother may have seduced his Harvard-educated wife. He is uneasy with her close relationship with her son, a more successful author than he, and suspicious of her closeness with their neighbour in Connecticut. And in a moment of irrationality, he has impulsively tried to kiss a pretty young journalist during an interview that she is about to go public with. Is it any wonder Baum has started talking to himself? Strangers shake their heads and walk around him on the street. Meanwhile he learns a startling secret that could cause havoc should he expose it. Should he keep it to himself or reveal it and blow up his marriage?What's with Baum? is Woody Allen's first novel and it is everything you would expect of him--and more. A portrait of an intellectual crippled by neurotic concerns about the futility and emptiness of life; an amusing glimpse into the New York publishing establishment; above all, a highly entertaining, tightly plotted, beautifully wrought piece of fiction from one of America's greatest and most versatile cinematic and literary talents.

Buchanan v knize popisuje zánik Západu. Příčinu vidí ve ztrátě jeho hodnot, především potom ve ztrátě židovské a křesťanské víry. Vinu za to dává idejím čtyř myslitelů, "Čtyřem, kteří stvořili revoluci", marxistickým teoretikům G. Lukácsovi, Gramscimu, Adornovi a Marcusovi. Ti jsou podle něj zdrojem kulturní revoluce a pokračování studené války, kulturní války. Jejím důsledkem potom jsou pokles porodnosti (vymírání obyvatel Západu), masové přistěhovalectví ze zemí třetího světa, interrupce, antikoncepce a vytváření světové vlády. Statistická čísla uváděná v knize v případě České republiky, jejíž obyvatelstvo je v podstatě produktem této revoluce, patří k nejhorším v západním světě.
