Ruský prezident Krupin nemá šťastný rok. Sankce Západu drtí hospodářství jeho země, námluvy Ukrajiny s NATO pokračují, v Rusku se zdvihají masové protesty proti jeho autoritářské politice. Navíc lékaři zjistili, že trpí zhoubným mozkovým nádorem. Má-li mít šanci přežít, bude se muset podrobit dlouhodobé léčbě, která ho oslabí. A tak se samovládce rozhodne pro riskantní postup: po mně potopa. Západní svět tuší, že by Krupin pro odvrácení pozornosti mohl podniknout útok na Ukrajinu. Jenže politik, který už nemá co ztratit, vymyslí ďábelštější plán - invazi tří pobaltských republik. Protože všechny patří do Severoatlantické aliance, znamená to prakticky zahájení světové války. Zabrání jí politici? Stěží. Spojené státy mají krajní řešení: agenta Mitche Rappa a jeho ruského spojence z rozumu Gríšu Azarova, bývalého Krupinova elitního zabijáka.

In the next Mitch Rapp thriller, a bioterrorist threat threatens an America already weakened by internal divisions. The head of ISIS, Sayid Halabi, survived Mitch Rapp’s attack on him, but while he convalesced, he plotted. Once healed, Halabi kidnaps a brilliant Yemeni microbiologist and forces him to produce anthrax. ISIS releases videos of his progress and uses them to stir up hysteria in the States in the midst of an extremely divisive presidential election. ISIS contracts with a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the anthrax into the US, but the anthrax is really just a feint. Unknown to anyone but Halabi’s team, he also kidnapped people infected with the virus with the plan to use the drug cartels’ human trafficking capability to smuggle these infected people into the US. If he succeeds, it would trigger a pandemic that would kill untold millions. Mitch and Irene Kennedy are, of course, on the case. But their ability to act is weakened by the fact that the man who is likely to be the next president despises them. When the DEA stumbles upon a shipment of anthrax coming into California, though, the current president has no choice but to give Mitch carte blanche to go after both the smugglers and ISIS. Mitch must infiltrate the drug cartel that has partnered with Halabi in a black ops mission compromised by political maneuvers and threatened by an unprecedented bioterrorism attack.*Praise for RED WAR* 'Outstanding . . .

Rapp se společně s přítelem a kolegou Scottem Colemanem žene po falešné stopě z jednoho světadílu na druhý ve snaze zabránit tomu, aby pákistánské atomové bomby padly do rukou teroristům. O jaderný arzenál se navíc zajímají také Rusové, třebaže z jiného důvodu než Rapp a Coleman. Brzy je znepokojivě zřejmé, že jisté síly v Moskvě mají zájem o vyvolání ještě horšího chaosu a nepokojů na Blízkém východě, a Rapp musí hluboko na ruské území, přičemž se vydává za amerického rekruta ISIS. Tam odhalí plán ještě nebezpečnější a zákeřnější, než očekával. Důsledky mohou být dalekosáhlé a katastrofální.

When an ex-Navy SEAL ends up injured and imprisoned, a shadowy ring of power brokers offers him the only way out-through a high-stakes military mission. A "searing, cerebral, high-stakes knockout" (Prairies Book Review) international political espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills. "Wall to wall action. Great book," as recommended by bestselling thriller author Brad Thor on Today. "Fade is a badass operator whom even a coma can't stop. . . . Plenty of action, plenty of fun." -Kirkus ReviewsWhen ex-navy SEAL Salam "Fade" al-Fayed steps in front of a sniper's bullet, he assumes that he's reached the end of the road-his death wish has finally been answered. Instead, he wakes in a hospital. As one of the deadliest operatives in U.S. history, he's now incapable of even standing without assistance. Alone and wanted by authorities, he's destined to spend the rest of his life lying in a prison infirmary. So when a shadowy organization offers him a new identity and next-generation medical care, he has no choice but to agree. Nothing's free, though. After a grueling rehabilitation, he's drafted into an elite paramilitary unit. But who's in charge? When a dire threat-a highly contagious pathogen-explodes out of China, his question is quickly answered: A select group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people has decided that governments are no longer capable of controlling the chaos erupting around the globe. It's a power grab by billionaires who've decided that it's their time to rule. With panic rising, the leaders of both democracies and dictatorships prove equally willing to destroy anything and anyone to save themselves. Forced into action before he's fully ready, Fade finds himself at the sharp end of a mission to stop a menace unlike any he's faced before. If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. But what if he succeeds? No one elected the people he's working for. And God sure as hell didn't ordain them. Has he signed on to save the human race . . . or to help quietly enslave it? Fade In tackles the complex threats of international espionage, power imbalances, and global terrorism-and introduces a character destined to take his place among legends like Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon. "The prose snaps and hums. . . Fade In is a gripping, violent, and often heartbreaking book. It's for readers who like their thrillers with a sharp philosophical bite." -Literary Titan Kyle Mills is the author of nine New York Times bestselling Vince Flynn novels featuring Mitch Rapp.

Sniper One is the gritty, awe-inspiring true story that takes you right into the heart of the Iraq war from Sunday Times No.1 bestseller Sgt. Dan Mills. ''One of the best first-hand accounts of combat that I''ve ever read'' Andy McNab We all saw it at once. Half a dozen voices screamed ''Grenade!'' simultaneously.

April 2004: Dan Mills and his platoon of snipers fly into southern Iraq, part of an infantry battalion sent to win hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives. Back home we were told they were peacekeeping. But there was no peace to keep. Because within days of arriving in theatre, Mills and his men were caught up in the longest, most sustained fire fight British troops had faced for over fifty years.This awe-inspiring account tells of total war in throat-burning winds and fifty-degree heat, blasted by mortars and surrounded by heavily armed militias - you won''t be able to put this down.''If I could give it more stars I would'' 5***** reader review ''A truly stunning story.

C. Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues. Leading sociologist Amitai Etzioni brings this fortieth anniversary edition up to date with a lucid introduction in which he considers the ways social analysis has progressed since Mills first published his study in 1959. A classic in the field, this book still provides rich food for our imagination.

Highly Commended for the Wainwright Prize 2023, and shortlisted for the Zócalo Book Prize and the Christopher Moore Prize For Human Rights Writing ''Gaia Vince''s new book should be read not just by every politician, but by every person on the planet'' ObserverAn urgent investigation of the most underreported, seismic consequence of climate change: how it will force us to change where - and how - we liveWe are facing a species emergency. With every degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced from the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. From Bangladesh to Sudan to the western United States, and in cities from Cardiff to New Orleans to Shanghai, the quadruple threat of drought, heat, wildfires and flooding will utterly reshape Earth''s human geography in the coming decades.In this rousing call to arms, Royal Society Science Book Prize-winning author Gaia Vince describes how we can plan for and manage this unavoidable climate migration while we restore the planet to a fully habitable state. The vital message of this book is that migration is not the problem - it''s the solution. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour shortages. As Vince describes, we will need to move northwards as a species, into the habitable fringes of Europe, Asia and Canada and the greening Arctic circle.While the climate catastrophe is finally getting the attention it deserves, the inevitability of mass migration has been largely ignored. In Nomad Century, Vince provides, for the first time, an examination of the most pressing question facing humanity.

With the help of their thorough instructions and simple illustrations, you''ll be on your way to becoming a pro paper crafter in no time at all" - Sew magazine"A wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist" - PaperCrafterThe renowned and influential book artist Hedi Kyle shows you step-by-step how to create her unique designs using folding techniques in The Art of the Fold. Bookbinding and paper craft projects include flag books, blizzard books, the fishbone fold, and nesting boxes.Written by the doyenne of artists'' books, Hedi Kyle, The Art of the Fold is a wonderful insight into the work of a truly skilled artist. Hedi will show you how to bind a book and fold paper to create over 35 of her cut-fold book designs. The book is beautifully illustrated with Hedi''s finished works of art.An excerpt from the book:''I can still remember the thrill I experienced when my first folded book structure emerged from my fingers - how eager I was to explore its possibilities and to share it with whoever was interested. The Flag Book, as I now call it, is a simple accordion and has interlocking pages oriented in opposite directions. Little did I know that this simple structure would have legs and be the catalyst for the next forty-plus years of thinking about and making books.The common perception of the book today is fairly straightforward: a series of pages organized around a spine and protected on either side by two covers. This format allows for easy access, storage and retrieval of information. Yet what happens when the book is stripped away of centuries of preconceptions and is allowed to reveal something else: playfulness, utility, invention? Expanding the notion of the book is what the structures in the following chapters of The Art of the Fold attempt to do. Exploring its tactile, sculptural form, primarily through folding methods, the book as a structural object is celebrated while content is considered in a new and unconventional way.My range in this medium has always been broad. In part this is due to my introduction to the world of bookbinding and some chance encounters. In the 1970s in New York City, the art and craft of hand bookbinding and papermaking were experiencing an unprecedented revival. I was fortunate to arrive in the city at just this moment. With an art-school background and an impulse to make things, I was naturally drawn to pursue this new opportunity. The Center for Book Arts, the famous forerunner of so many centers yet to come, was located in a small storefront just down the street from where I lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Under the direction of founder Richard Minsky, it had a radical mission: to push concept, materials, printing and making of artist books in a new direction. When Richard dared me to teach at the Center one evening a week, I was hooked.My career as a book conservator and a book artist has now spanned over 45 years. As head conservator at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, I''ve had the opportunity to handle some of the rarest volumes and manuscripts in the world. I have also dealt with decrepit books, torn maps and countless curiosities discovered in stacks and archives. All were endless sources for ideas and provided a springboard for a departure from tradition. Leading book-arts workshops around the world and a 25 year tenure teaching in the graduate program for Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia have shown me, in retrospect, that the more I taught, the more it propelled me to experiment and develop my ideas. The many students I have had over the years were always my biggest inspiration, and they continue to be so.'' - Hedi Kyle, Pine Hill, NY Sept 2017

Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

Legendární irský hrdina Sláine prochází dějinami - se zlodějským trpaslíkem po boku a se sekerou Mozkohryz v ruce. V každé epoše bojuje ve službách Bohyně za udržení starých pořádků, za živočišnost „barbarství“ a zachování kontaktu s přírodou... což je v protikladu s idejemi nastupujícího křesťanství, propagujícího zdrženlivost a odříkání. To není nic pro Sláina. Ve dvou epických příbězích se Sláine dostane do doby Robina Hooda, aby zachránil nové převtělení své věčné lásky Niamh - a následně se přenese do Anglie po pádu krále Artuše, aby dal dohromady ztracené poklady Británie a zachránil tak umírajícího krále a s ním i celou zemi. Legendární irský autor Pat Mills Sláinem přináší fascinující odpověď na conanovského barbara. V jeho příbězích se mísí historické detaily se starými legendami a anarchistickými postoji autora. K ruce mu je jako vždy výkvět kreslířů: Greg Staples, Dermot Power a Clint Langley. S nimi stvořil Pat Mills opravdu mistrovské dílo evropského komiksu. A nezdálo se mu to málo.

Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy. They are the biggest job creators and offer a path to the American Dream. But for many, it is difficult to get the capital they need to operate and succeed. In the Great Recession, access to capital for small businesses froze, and in the aftermath, many community banks shuttered their doors and other lenders that had weathered the storm turned to more profitable avenues. For years after the financial crisis, the outlook for many small businesses was bleak. But then a new dawn of financial technology, or “fintech,” emerged. Beginning in 2010, new fintech entrepreneurs recognized the gaps in the small business lending market and revolutionized the customer experience for small business owners. Instead of xeroxing a pile of paperwork and waiting weeks for an answer, small businesses filled out applications online and heard back within hours, sometimes even minutes. Banks scrambled to catch up. Technology companies like Amazon, PayPal, and Square entered the market, and new possibilities for even more transformative products and services began to appear.In Fintech, Small Business & the American Dream, former U.S. Small Business Administrator and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School, Karen G. Mills, focuses on the needs of small businesses for capital and how technology will transform the small business lending market. This is a market that has been plagued by frictions: it is hard for a lender to figure out which small businesses are creditworthy, and borrowers often don’t know how much money or what kind of loan they need. New streams of data have the power to illuminate the opaque nature of a small business’ finances, making it easier for them to weather bumpy cash flows and providing more transparency to potential lenders.Mills charts how fintech has changed and will continue to change small business lending, and how financial innovation and wise regulation can restore a path to the American Dream. An ambitious book grappling with the broad significance of small business to the economy, the historical role of credit markets, the dynamics of innovation cycles, and the policy implications for regulation, Fintech, Small Business & the American Dream is relevant to bankers, fintech investors, and regulators; in fact, anyone who is interested in the future of small business in America.

Now a docuseries from Ken Burns on PBS! The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius. In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

Vince Colletta was one of the world’s most legendary comic book artists and without question the most prolific inker ever. His life’s work, an important part of the Golden Age of Comic Books, is explored by Colletta’s son, Franklin, accompanied by hundreds of pencil and ink illustrations depicting Colletta’s elegant and sometimes controversial style. For some comic book fans, Colletta was seen as a too-swift hack, while others recognized his versatility for creating both illustrative and graphic masterpieces including the most beautiful women in comics. Best known for his time at Marvel, Vince Colletta instantly became their prominent romance artist and went on to contribute to the burgeoning superhero genre including early issues of Fantastic Four and Thor. He was also the Art Director at DC Comics, working on classic comics such as Batman, Wonder Woman and Warlord. His legacy is more than just as an artist. Vince was the fastest and most dependable inker in the business. When pencilers or editors were late turning in their work, the pages were invariably given to Colletta at the last minute to complete in time to make printing deadlines. Vince Colletta died in 1991, and his son, Franklin Colletta, has formed this collection as a celebration and homage to his father, telling the incredible journey of an extraordinary man.
