Raiders Of The Nile - Steven Saylor

Gordianus is now twenty-two years old and living in Alexandria with Bethesda, scraping by in modest and haphazard fashion. But then Bethesda is kidnapped by mistake. With few resources available to him, Gordianus has to find the people who kidnapped her and get her back - before they realise they have the wrong woman and dispose of her for good.A raid on the golden tomb of Alexander the Great, a semi-shady troupe of travelling performers, highwaymen, amorous innkeepers, the politics of the pharaohs, smugglers, camels and an adventure up the Nile all combine to make this a rescue mission neither Gordianus - or Bethesda - will ever forget.Praise for Steven Saylor:''The Saylor hallmarks are meticulous recreation of Rome''s grimy bustling streets and a brilliantly drawn cast of minor characters.'' The Sunday Times ''A compelling storyteller, with a striking talent for historical reconstruction.'' Times Literary Supplement

Podezřelí, zadržení při policejním protidrogovém zátahu, jsou propuštěni a Nico sám musí odevzdat policejní odznak. Možná, že ho postavili mimo službu – v akci mu ale zabránit nemohou. Pro Stevena Seagala je Nico senzačním filmovým debutem, který ho katapultoval přímo mezi největší akční hvězdy a vyslal ho po stopách bývalých agentů CIA, kteří pašují drogy... a plánují politický atentát. Jak se Nico a jeho partnerka Jax (Pam Grier) blíží k psychopatickému gangsterskému bossovi (Henry Silva), rozpoutává režisér Andrew Davis (Uprchlík) nad celým Chicagem doslova akční smršť. Těžko ho zabít (DVD) Agent Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) odhalil spojení vysoce postavených politiků s mafií. Protože se nechtěl nechat zastavit v boji proti korupci, zločinci připravili krutou pomstu - skupina vrahů přepadla jeho rodinu a Masonova manželka je zastřelena. Také agenta považují za mrtvého. Mason Storm však žije. Bude trvat velmi dlouho, než se pustí do hledání vrahů. Potom už jej však nic nezastavíDetektiv Mason Storm pořídí usvědčující videozáznam schůzky neznámého poslance se zločineckým podsvětím, na níž se domlouvá vražda senátora Campbella, po jehož křesle poslanec touží. Zločinci však Storma odhalí, a aby získali videokazetu, vyvraždí celou Stormovu rodinu. Nevšimnou si však, že syn stačil uprchnout. Vážně zraněný Storm, oficiálně prohlášený za mrtvého, upadne do kómatu. Zatímco zkorumpovaný kapitán Huiland se pokusí Stormovu památku pošpinit, jeho kolega a přítel O´Malley zachrání usvědčující videozáznam a zajistí, aby byl Storm inkognito převezen do bezpečí, kde by se případně mohl uzdravit. Storm se po sedmi letech probere z kómatu. Mafiáni se to ale dozvědí a ihned se ho pokoušejí zabít. Storma zachrání zdravotní sestra Andy Stewartová, která ho ukryje. Detektiv se postupně uzdravuje a fyzicky i psychicky se připravuje k odplatě a odhalení spiknutí. Andy a Storm se do sebe brzy zamilují. Zločinci však stahují smyčku kolem Storma a likvidují všechny, kteří překážejí. Storm naváže kontakt s O´Malleym a posílen zjištěním, že jeho syn přežil, začíná tvrdě usilovat o naplnění spravedlnosti. Nemilosrdná spravedlnost (DVD) Na odpočinku? To tak. Steven Seagal, hvězda více než deseti skvělých akčních filmů posledního desetiletí, bojuje v thrilleru Johna Flynna (Kriminál, Bestseller) jako nikdo jiný. Polda Gino Felino (Seagal) se v Brooklynu narodil i vyrostl a viděl v “sousedství” už hodně změn. Jedna z těch smutných je, že jeho nepřítel z dětství a kriminálník Richie (William Forsythe) proměnil místní ulice ve válečnou zónu. Chová se jako vzteklý pes, utržený ze řetězu, a Gino by ho velmi ochotně poslal do věčných lovišť. On a jeho unavený parťák (Jerry Orbach ze seriálu Právo a pořádek) ale musí Richieho nejdřív chytit. Nastává sólo pro Seagalovo pozoruhodné umění aikida a z Nemilosrdné spravedlnosti se stává nemilosrdná podívaná. Přepadení v Pacifiku (DVD) Když na bitevní loď Missouri pozvou hudebníky, kteří ji mají provázet na slavnostní poslední plavbě, nikdo netuší jakou party tihle muzikanti rozjedou. Rozhodně to bude party s překvapením. Z kapely se vyklube komando elitních zabijáků, vedených bývalým agentem CIA (Tommy Lee Jones) a zběhlým důstojníkem (Gary Busey), kteří prahnou po jaderném arzenálu plavidla. Rychle přemůžou celou posádku. Až na jednoho muže, který tvrdí, že je „jenom kuchař.“ Jenže je to kuchař s receptem na vynikající akci: bývalý mariňák s vyznamenáními z boje Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal). Všichni fandové akce na palubu. Přepadení 2: Temné území (DVD) Špičkový expert na elektroniku (Eric Bogosian) se zmocnil luxusního vlaku Grand Continental, aby ho přetvořil v pojízdnou základnu pro válečný satelit. Ryback se ale jako jediný vyhne zajetí. Z vlaku se stává bojiště, satelit je zaměřený na cíl a na Grand Continental se v protisměru řítí nákladní vlak převážející benzin. Dokáže Ryback zhatit plány zločinců? Kdo chce znát odpověď, musí nastoupit. Glimmer Man (DVD) Nebezpečný hon na sériového vraha. Populární komik Wayans vnáší do své drsné role obvyklou porci bonmotů a akční ikona Steven Seagal zůstává věrná své pověsti: probíjí se dynamickými bojovými sekvencemi a dodává jim navíc i svůj klasický suchý humor. Bývalý Newyorčan Cole, který nosí buddhistické modlitební korálky, spoléhá na prastaré elixíry a žije podle východních filozofií, je nejdivnější partner, s jakým se protřelý městský polda Campbell kdy setkal. A jak to tak Campbell vidí, Cole by mohl být ještě něco navíc: podezřelý číslo jedna v jejich vyšetřování vraždy. Tajný agent Jack T.

The Sense of Style - Steven Pinker

Steven Pinker, the bestselling author of The Language Instinct, deploys his gift for explaining big ideas in The Sense of Style - an entertaining writing guide for the 21st centuryWhat is the secret of good prose? Does writing well even matter in an age of instant communication? Should we care? In this funny, thoughtful book about the modern art of writing, Steven Pinker shows us why we all need a sense of style.More than ever before, the currency of our social and cultural lives is the written word, from Twitter and texting to blogs, e-readers and old-fashioned books. But most style guides fail to prepare people for the challenges of writing in the 21st century, portraying it as a minefield of grievous errors rather than a form of pleasurable mastery. They fail to deal with an inescapable fact about language: it changes over time, adapted by millions of writers and speakers to their needs. Confusing changes in the world with moral decline, every generation believes the kids today are degrading society and taking language with it. A guide for the new millennium, writes Steven Pinker, has to be different.Drawing on the latest research in linguistics and cognitive science, Steven Pinker replaces the recycled dogma of previous style guides with reason and evidence. This thinking person''s guide to good writing shows why style still matters: in communicating effectively, in enhancing the spread of ideas, in earning a reader''s trust and, not least, in adding beauty to the world. Eye-opening, mind-expanding and cheerful, The Sense of Style shows that good style is part of what it means to be human.

Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina - Steven Lee Myers

"Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: "Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu." Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou. O autorovi: Steven Lee Myers je americký investigativní novinář, který od roku 1989 pracuje v listu The New York Times. Od roku 2002 strávil během dvou pobytů více než sedm let jako zahraniční korespondent v Rusku a referoval o druhé čečenské válce, ukrajinské oranžové revoluci, zimní olympiádě v ruském Soči i anexi Krymu. Předtím pracoval jako novinář v New Yorku, Washingtonu a za války v Iráku také v Bagdádu. Nyní se specializuje na zahraniční záležitosti a bezpečnostní témata. Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina je jeho první knihou. Citace: "Nový car je strhujícím a nesmírně podrobným životopisem Vladimira Putina, v němž Myers zevrubným, až shakespearovským způsobem vysvětluje, proč Putin jedná právě tak, jak jedná." - Robert D. Kaplan, geopolitický analytik "Velmi působivý portrét děsivě mocného autokrata." - Kirkus Review "Nový car Stevena Leeho Myerse není prvním Putinovým životopisem, ale do dnešního data je životopisem nejsolidnějším. Uvážlivým a komplexním způsobem odhaluje pravou tvář jednoho z nejuzavřenějších světových vůdců." - Daniel Treisman, The Washington Post "Myers předkládá obraz člověka, který přechází od jedné krize ke druhé s jediným cílem: aby z něj vyzařovala síla. Zasvěcený a detailní životopis." - Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review "V životopise Vladimira Putina Steven Lee Myers geniálně kombinuje vyprávěcí umění, psychologickou sondu i politickou analýzu." - Nina Lvovna Chruščovová, americká politoložka, pravnučka Nikity Chruščova"

Válka umění - Steven Pressfield - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Odblokujte svou kreativitu a vyhrajte tvůrčí bitvy Žádná jiná kniha mě na válečné stezce proti vlastním slabostem neposunula ke 100% profesionalitě tak jako Válka umění. Odhaluje nejhlubší podstatu toho, oč by měl usilovat každy´ tvůrce, umělec či profesionál.“ — Robert Vlach, autor knihy Na volné noze. Měli jste někdy v noci před spaním vizi člověka, kterým byste se mohli stát, práce, které byste mohli dosáhnout, díla, které byste chtěli vytvořit? Jste spisovatel, který nepíše, malíř, který nemaluje, nebo podnikatel, který nikdy nezaložil podnik? Potom znáte Odpor: temnou sílu, bránící kreativitě a úspěchu. Steven Pressfield vyhlásil Odporu válku a ve své přísné, strohé a zároveň zábavné knize vás naučí, jak tohoto nepřítele porazit a rozbít tak bloky, které dusí vaši tvořivost. Po poslechu Války umění o sobě mnohé pochopíte. Několik dní jí budete mít plnou hlavu, a pak možná změníte svůj život. Autorův odkaz na Umění války od Sun-c’ je naprosto na místě, neboť Pressfield považuje tvorbu a umění za boj tvůrce se sebou samy´m. Válka umění vyšla poprvé v roce 2002. Od té doby se dočkala překladů do mnoha světovy´ch jazyků a stále patří mezi nejprodávanější knihy o kreativitě. Inspirovala a stále inspiruje statisíce čtenářů z celého světa. Slovy autora: „ Většina z nás má dva životy. Ten, ktery´ žijeme, a potom nežity´ vnitřní život.” Není to škoda? Steven Pressfield (*1943) Steven Pressfield je romanopisec, scenárista i autor příruček o tvorbě a kreativitě. Narodil se na Trinidadu, po službě u americké námořní pěchoty vystudoval psychologii na Dukeově univerzitě a poté pracoval v mnoha pomocny´ch profesích. Trvalo mu dlouhy´ch 17 let, než byl schopen uživit se samotny´m psaním. A kdo jiny´ by měl o tvorbě psát než ten, kdo dokázal překonat tvůrčí bloky, nevzdal se a dosáhl úspěchu?

Moral Capitalism - Steven Pearlstein

"If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it's Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system." -Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, VoxPulitzer Prize-winning economics journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work.With a New Introduction by the AuthorThirty years ago, "greed is good" and "maximizing shareholder value" became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free market economy is the best system.In Moral Capitalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steven Pearlstein chronicles our descent and challenges the theories being taught in business schools and exercised in boardrooms around the country. We're missing a key tenet of Adam Smith's wealth of nations: without trust and social capital, democratic capitalism cannot survive. Further, equality of incomes and opportunity need not come at the expense of economic growth.Pearlstein lays out bold steps we can take as a country: a guaranteed minimum income paired with universal national service, tax incentives for companies to share profits with workers, ending class segregation in public education, and restoring competition to markets. He provides a path forward that will create the shared prosperity that will sustain capitalism over the long term.Previously published as Can American Capitalism Survive?

The Singing Neanderthals - Prof Steven Mithen

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.

A School Without Sanctions - Mick Simpson, Steven Baker

''I believe this book will change the conversation in schools on children''s behaviour.'' - Dr Luna CentifantiA School Without Sanctions offers an innovative approach to behaviour management in schools, prioritising compassion and behaviour modification over punishment. Drawing on their award-winning methods, Steven Baker and Mick Simpson explain why challenging behaviour occurs and provide a toolbox of non-confrontational approaches that will benefit the whole school community.When Steven and Mick set out to transform their school''s approach to behaviour, it changed everything. With the help of Dr Alice Jones Bartoli at Goldsmiths, they developed a sanction-free approach in their special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. Far from descending into anarchy, lessons began to improve and student–staff relationships flourished. The school is now rated outstanding in all areas, and more importantly, student outcomes have been remarkable.Steven and Mick apply this experience, as well as their work in pupil referral units and young offender institutions, to explore their strategies for managing behaviour without the need for zero tolerance, discussing exclusions, trauma, motivation and engagement along the way. Rooted in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, this book will revolutionise the way you think about behaviour management, help boost student mental health and academic achievement, and protect teacher wellbeing.

Belize - Steven Froelich

He’s back! In this second instalment of Steven Froelich’s Latin American odyssey, the Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country he knows nothing about. But Froelich has a talent for making himself at home wherever he is, amassing an impressive array of new friends in a short time – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.As ever, the cock-a-hoop characters Steven ingratiates himself with become his surrogate dysfunctional family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of feral kids led by the gleefully destructive Molokai soon have Steven wondering whether or not his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, binding him ever more tightly in a web of scams that threatens to leave him broke and stranded in this shabby paradise. Is his paranoia justifiable, or is that just the continuous cocaine use? His response is to agree to renting an SUV and embarking all together on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, fine hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail. Why do ‘mechanics’ keep appearing every time the truck mysteriously fails? Why are his credit cards failing just as frequently? Who’s zoomin’ who?Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully ignorant, Froelich is nevertheless observant and caring at heart – and Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they’re from or where they’re headed.Features twelve full-colour illustrations by Froelich’s collaborator Oscar Zárate.

Šest inovací, které stvořily moderní svět - Steven Johnson

Jak fotografie přivodila sociální reformu?Co spojuje chlazení potravin s Hollywoodem?A jak náš boj se špínou pomohl vytvořit chytré telefony?V tomto příběhu o důvtipných průlomech a neopěvovaných hrdinech zkoumá Steven Johnson zásadní inovace, které změnily svět a to, jak v něm žijeme. V tomto ilustrovaném svazku zkoumá Steven Johnson historii inovací během staletí. Sleduje vývoj šesti klíčových technologií moderního života (chlazení, hodiny, čočky, čištění vody, zaznamenávaný zvuk a umělé světlo) od doby, kdy je stvořili amatéři a podnikatelé až po jejich nezamýšlené historické důsledky. Knihu doplňují překvapivé příběhy o náhodných géniích a brilantních omylech - o francouzském vydavateli, který vynalezl fonograf před Edisonem, ale zapomněl k němu přidat i přehrávání; o „ledovém králi“ 19. století, který vydělal jmění na dovozu zmrzlé vody z jezer v Nové Anglii do Ria a Bombaje. Šest inovací, které stvořily moderní svět zkoumá skrytou historii za každodenními předměty současného života. Svým nezaměnitelným stylem zkoumá Johnson nečekané souvislosti mezi zdánlivě nesouvisejícími obory: jak vynález klimatizace umožnil největší migraci lidí v dějinách druhu do jinak nehostinných měst jako Dubaj a Phoenix, jak kyvadlové hodiny pomohly dát do pohybu průmyslovou revoluci a jak čistá voda umožnila vyrábět počítačové čipy. Šest inovací, které stvořily moderní svět je příběhem o spolupracujících sítích, které budují moderní svět. Kniha je napsaná provokativně, informativně a zaujme stejně jako předchozí tituly, které Johnsonovi získaly fanoušky po celém světě.

One woman's quest for truth reveals a dark family secret long buried in Prague's Nazi past. WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2015 -- Best Books in Fiction "Imagine Stephen King wrote Schindler's List..." Nikki [Historical, Thriller, Literary, Holocaust] Every family holds to secrets, but some are far darker, reach deeper, and touch a rawer nerve than others. Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents' unspoken wartime experiences. The past for her was a closed book... until her father passes away and that book falls literally open. Vanesa must now unravel the mystery of the diary she has received--and the strange symbol within--at all costs. Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the Jewish Museum of Prague--Adolf Eichmann's "Museum of an Extinct Race"--Galerie is fast-paced historical fiction in the tradition of Tatiana De Rosnay's Sarah's Key. From Jerusalem's Yad V'Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former "paradise ghetto" of Theresienstadt, Vanesa's journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined--a secret kept alive for over half a century. PERFECT FOR BOOK CLUBS: A book club guide is included at the end of the story. Galerie by Steven Greenberg Evolved Publishing presents a thrilling work of historical fiction that examines how Holocaust horrors still resonate generations later, and how even deep wounds of betrayal can ultimately heal.

Racionalita - Steven Pinker

Môže nám kniha pomôcť byť racionálnejší? Môžeme vďaka nej pochopiť, prečo je všade okolo nás toľko iracionality? Odpovede nielen na tieto otázky a mnohé ďalšie zaujímavé informácie nájdeme práve tu, v knihe autora bestsellerov New York Times Stevena Pinkera.Ľudstvo dnes disponuje priam nevídanými vedomosťami a znalosťami, no zároveň paradoxne akoby prichádzalo o zdravý rozum. Ako je možné, že druh, ktorý dokázal za necelý rok vyvinúť vakcíny proti ochoreniu COVID-19, verí toľkým nezmyslom, šarlatánstvam a konšpiráciám?Steven Pinker rázne odmieta klišé, že ľudia sú jednoduché tvory pochádzajúce z jaskýň, ktorých život riadia povery, skreslenia a omyly. Koniec koncov, objavili sme zákony prírody, skrotili planétu, predĺžili a uľahčili si život a v neposlednom rade sme zadefinovali aj pravidlá racionality. Dokážeme fungovať v neakademickom a netechnokratickom prostredí, kde trávime väčšinu času, no akosi nie sme schopní využívať na uvažovanie nástroje, ktoré sme objavovali celé tisícročia: logiku, kritické myslenie, pravdepodobnosť, koreláciu a kauzalitu. Nevieme optimálne reagovať na nové poznatky, prispôsobiť im svoje názory či správne sa rozhodovať jednotlivo aj kolektívne. Tieto nástroje jednoducho nepatria do našej bežnej výbavy. A navyše nám ich doteraz nikto zrozumiteľne nevysvetlil.Kniha Racionalita skúma aj opak, teda iracionalitu. Steven Pinker v nej vysvetľuje, ako racionálne presadzovanie sebeckých cieľov, sektárska solidarita a mytológia ničia kolektívnu racionalitu a mrzačia spoločnosť. Kolektívna racionalita sa opiera o normy, ktorých cieľom je poznanie objektívnej pravdy.Racionalitu potrebujeme ako soľ. Vďaka nej sa lepšie rozhodujeme v súkromí aj vo verejnom živote.

The Gut-Brain Paradox - Steven R. Gundry

Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, shares compelling evidence that our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health—and shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.In his previous bestselling books, Steven R. Gundry taught readers how to reverse disease and improve health and well-being by preventing and repairing leaky gut. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he delves even more deeply into the mysterious and long misunderstood world of the human microbiome. Here Dr. Gundry uncovers the complex and multifaceted ways in which our microbes are controlling the health and functioning of our brains, and how the gut-brain connection is made long before we are even born.The Gut-Brain Paradox shines a fascinating light on how the one-two punch of leaky gut and gut dysbiosis, together driven by western diets, overuse of antibiotics and other medications, and environmental toxins allow pathogenic bacteria to take over. These “bad bugs” cause inflammation and hijack the intricate messaging systems that run from the gut to the brain, setting the stage for neurological changes, brain fog, neurodegeneration, mental health issues, personality alterations, and even addiction.However, these changes are reversible. Featuring the latest science, easy-to-follow recipes, and supplement guides, The Gut-Brain Paradox shows us how to eat to restore not only our inner balance, but our mental energy and well-being, too.
