In the Young Readers Edition of The Martian: Classroom-appropriate languageDiscussion questions and activitiesQ&A with Andy Weir Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he''s sure he''ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive – and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won''t have time to starve to death. Damaged machinery, the unforgiving environment, or plain old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn''t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit, he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of Jazz's problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself - and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even more unlikely than the first.

Revelatory talks about art and life with internationally acclaimed Israeli novelist Amos OzIn the last years of his life, the writer Amos Oz talked regularly with Shira Hadad, who worked closely with him as the editor of his final novel, Judas. These candid, uninhibited dialogues show a side of Oz that few ever saw. What Makes an Apple? presents the most revealing of these conversations in English for the first time, painting an illuminating and disarmingly intimate portrait of a towering literary figure. In frank and open exchanges that are by turns buoyant, introspective, and argumentative, Oz explains what impels him to begin a story and shares his routines, habits, and challenges as a writer. He discusses the tectonic changes he experienced in his lifetime in relationships between women and men, and describes how his erotic coming of age shaped him not only as a man but also as an author. Oz reflects on his parents, his formative years on a kibbutz, and how he dealt with and learned from his critics, his students, and his fame. He talks about why there is more humor in his later books and gives his exceptional take on fear of death. Resonating with Oz’s clear, honest, and humorous voice, What Makes an Apple? offers unique insights about Oz’s artistic and personal evolution, and enables readers to explore his work in new ways.

Cas Lowood zdedil zvláštne životné poslanie: zabíjať mŕtvych. Robil to pred ním aj jeho otec, až kým ho brutálne nezavraždil duch, ktorého mal zabiť. Vyzbrojený otcovou tajomnou a smrtiacou dýkou cestuje po krajine spolu s matkou čarodejnicou a kocúrom, ktorý vie vycítiť duchov. Sledujú stopy miestnych legiend a tradícií a snažia sa držať krok s mŕtvymi vrahmi. Nudné starosti ako budúcnosť a priateľov si držia od tela. Keď prídu do nového mesta, aby našli ducha, ktorého miestni volajú Anna v krvi odetá, Cas očakáva bežnú rutinu: vystopovať, chytiť, zabiť. Namiesto toho však nájde prekliate nahnevané dievča – ducha, s akým sa ešte nikdy nestretol. Šaty, ktoré mala Anna oblečené v deň svojej brutálnej vraždy v roku 1958, boli kedysi biele, teraz sú však na nich červené škvrny a kvapká z nich krv. Od svojej smrti zabila každého, kto sa opovážil vstúpiť do opusteného viktoriánskeho domu, ktorý kedysi nazývala domovom. Z neznámeho dôvodu však Casov život ušetrí…

A revelatory account of the magus - the learned magician - and his place in the world of Renaissance EuropeAt the heart of the extraordinary ferment of the High Renaissance stood a distinctive, strange and beguiling figure: the magus. An unstable mix of scientist, bibliophile, engineer, fabulist and fraud, the magus ushered in modern physics and chemistry while also working on everything from secret codes to siege engines to magic tricks. Anthony Grafton's wonderfully original book discusses the careers of men who somehow managed to be both figures of startling genius and - by some measures - credulous or worse.The historical Faust, Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Trithemius and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa are all fascinating characters, closely linked to monarchs, artists and soldiers and sitting at the heart of any definition of why the Renaissance was a time of such restless innovation. The study of the stars, architecture, warfare, even medicine: all of these and more were revolutionized in some way by the experiments and tricks of these extraordinary individuals. No book does a better job of allowing us to understand the ways that magic, religion and science were once so intertwined and often so hard to tell apart.

Je padesát bitev málo, nebo moc? William Weir na reprezentativním vzorku ozbrojených konfliktů ukazuje, že dějiny skutečně píší vítězové! 50 bitev, které změnily svět (50 Battles That Changed the World) není kniha oslavující válčení. Přináší jiný pohled na světové dějiny – William Weir se zaměřuje na klíčové bitvy, které výrazně pohnuly kolem dějin a jejichž význam byl, jak historie prokázala, naprosto zásadní pro uspořádání světa tak, jak ho známe nyní. Jednotlivé konflikty sahají od dávné minulosti až do dvacátého století. Některé jsou notoricky známé – Marathón, Waterloo, Midway či Stalingrad, některé ale zastřela mlha dějin a my na jejich význam trochu pozapomínáme – povstání Níká, Dublin, Emauzy… Naučili jsme se vnímat dějiny jako sled jednotlivých dat, ale málokdy je umíme vnímat v souvislostech. Kniha 50 bitev, které změnily svět právě ony významné a pro pochopení kontextu zásadní souvislosti poskytuje. Zjistíme, že žádná bitva nevznikla „zčistajasna“, že každému ozbrojenému konfliktu, ať už válečnému, nebo civilnímu, předcházela série problémů, nedorozumění, frustrace či prostě touha po moci a že vítězství jedné či druhé strany nebylo tak samozřejmé, jak se nám s odstupem času může jevit. A také se dozvíme, že ani ve „velkých dějinách“ není nouze o naprosto nepravděpodobné náhody. Je nesporné, že výsledky některých bitev či rozhodujících střetnutí zapříčinily zánik, nebo naopak přežití národů, států, či dokonce celých civilizací. Jak ale vybrat ty nejzásadnější? Autor se orientuje podle následujících aspektů: přínos pro demokracii a svobodu, střet mezi západní a východní kulturou, výboje a pokusy o nadvládu nad jinými národy atd. Války nejsou jen mechanismem sloužícím k zabíjení, jsou i prostředkem technologického pokroku. Je až s podivem, kolik konfliktů bylo zásadně ovlivněno rozdílnou kvalitou technického vybavení soupeřících stran či inovativní vojenskou taktikou a nakolik tyto „vynálezy“ změnily tvář nadcházejících bojů. Ačkoliv z takového úhlu možná o vojevůdcích a vojenských velitelích příliš nepřemýšlíme, drtivá většina z nich si kladla za cíl ušetřit co nejvíc životů svých vojáků, a proto inovovali vybavení i taktiku boje tak, aby při plnění vojenských cílů padlo co nejmenší procento jejich mužstva. Autor nemá prostor na obšírné líčení dobového kontextu a běžného života vojáka v poli (o civilistech, které každá válka zasáhne nejbolestivěji ani nemluvě), ale i přes to před nás předkládá obraz pětadvaceti století, kterými se jako krvavá linie táhne historie fatálních bitev, bez kterých by naše současnost vypadala dozajista úplně jinak. O autorovi William Weir je vojenský historik a publicista, autor téměř dvou desítek vysoce hodnocených knih, převážně zaměřených na vojenství a zbraně. Written with Lead, Fatal Victories, A Well Regulated Militia, Soldiers in the Shadows, Turning Points in Military History, 50 Weapons that Changed Warfare a další. Žije v Guilfordu v Connecticutu.
