Že by to byli dávní zemřelí, kteří by si také chtěli zasoutěžit o cenu pro největšího mága? To by musely dodržovat pravidla fair-play! Ale jejich zájmy se zdají být jiné a kouzlo, které, je řídí, je mnohanásobně zlovolnější, hrozí totiž zničit každý z barevných Londýnů, ve kterém to ještě trochu žije.

Vaclav Havel's remarkable and rousing essay on the tyranny of apathy, with a new introduction by Timothy Snyder Cowed by life under Communist Party rule, a greengrocer hangs a placard in their shop window: Workers of the world, unite! Is it a sign of the grocer's unerring ideology? Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves? Written in 1978, Vaclav Havel's meditation on political dissent - the rituals of its suppression, and the sparks that re-ignite it - would prove the guiding manifesto for uniting Solidarity movements across the Soviet Union. A portrait of activism in the face of falsehood and intimidation, The Power of the Powerless remains a rousing call against the allure of apathy.

Kdysi existovaly čtyři světy, naskládané na sebe jako stránky v knize. Kypěly magickou mocí a spojovalo je jedno město: Londýn. Pak se však magie začala šířit až příliš prudce a světy se v zoufalé snaze se ochránit oddělily a zapečetily dveře. Otevřít je dokázali jen mágové zvaní Antari, ale ti byli stále vzácnější. V posledních letech byli známí pouze tři - Kell Maresh z Červeného Londýna, Delilah Bardová z Šedého a Holland Vosijk z Bílého. Teď po nich však už sedm let nebylo skoro ani vidu, ani slechu - zato v Bílém Londýně se objevila nová Antari jménem Kosika a usedla v Hollandově nepřítomnosti na trůn. Mladičká královna je ochotná prolévat pro své město krev - svých poddaných i svou vlastní - ale její náboženský zápal se stále stupňuje a hrozí, že by mohl město utopit. V Červeném Londýně mezitím král Rhy Maresh čelí počínajícímu povstání rebelů, kteří jsou odhodlaní nastolit rovnováhu moci tak, že ho svrhnou z trůnu. Mezi starými přáteli a novými nepřáteli se však objeví ještě dívka s neobvyklými magickými schopnostmi a zmocní se přístroje, který by mohl změnit osud všech čtyř světů. Jmenuje se Tes a je to právě ona, kdo může světy spojit - anebo je navždy zničit.

Až pokým jedného dňa nevstúpi po druhý raz do malého antikvariátu na Manhattane, kde pracuje Henry – a ten si ju pamätá.

From an award-winning financial historian comes the gripping, character-driven story of venture capital and the world it madeInnovations rarely come from "experts." Jeff Bezos was not a bookseller; Elon Musk was not in the auto industry. When it comes to innovation, a legendary venture capitalist told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. Most attempts at discovery fail, but a few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else.That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives venture capital, Silicon Valley, the tech sector, and, by extension, the world. Drawing on unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time, award-winning financial historian Sebastian Mallaby tells the story of this strange tribe of financiers who have funded the world's most successful companies, from Google to SpaceX to Alibaba. With a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis, The Power Law makes sense of the seeming randomness of success in venture capital, an industry that relies, for good and ill, on gut instinct and personality rather than spreadsheets and data.We learn the unvarnished truth about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in the history of tech, from the comedy of errors that was the birth of Apple to the venture funding that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber to the industry's notorious lack of women and ethnic minorities. Now the power law echoes around the world: it has transformed China's digital economy beyond recognition, and London is one of the top cities for venture capital investment. By taking us so deeply into the VCs' game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes.

Kdekoli se objeví duchové, tam se vydá i Cassidy… anebo je to naopak? Od toho dne, co se Cassidy málem utopila (no, ona se vlastně utopila, ale nerada na to vzpomíná), dokáže odtáhnout Závoj, který odděluje živé od mrtvých... a vstoupit do světa duchů. Dokonce její nejlepší kamarád Jacob je duch. Když se její rodiče pustí do natáčení televizního pořadu o nejstrašidelnějších místech na světě, zamíří všichni i s Jacobem do skotského Edinburghu, kde se místní hřbitovy, hrady a tajné uličky jen hemží neklidnými duchy. A tehdy Cassidy potká Laru, dívku, která má stejný dar jako ona, a zjistí, že se toho má o Závoji - a sama o sobě - ještě hodně co učit. Později Cass se svými rodiči (a samozřejmě i nejlepším kamarádem, duchem Jacobem) zamíří do Paříže. Bylo by fajn jíst jeden croissant za druhým a užívat si výhled z Eiffelovky, kdyby v podzemních katakombách nečíhalo děsivé nebezpečí. I když už má Cass pocit, že lovení duchů celkem zvládá, překvapil ji New Orleans, který svá strašidelná místa vystavuje přímo na odiv. Ve městě plném staré magie, duchařských atrakcí, tajuplných kobek a nespoutané hudby se Cass propadá do děsivých příběhů doslova na každém kroku. A za tím vším číhá protivník, o kterém nikdy netušila, že mu bude muset čelit: služebník samotné Smrti. Před Cassidy stojí zatím její nejnebezpečnější výzva… a před jejím přátelstvím s Jacobem také.

In a powerful exploration of recent racial history, the cofounder of Black Lives Matter examines the moment we're in, how we got here and how together we can build movements to create a just and equal world.Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia Garza wrote what she calls 'a love letter to Black people' on Facebook. But hashtags don't build movements, she tells us. People do. Interwoven with Garza's experience of life as a Black woman, The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white lives by galvanising people to create change. It's an insight into grass roots organising to deliver basic needs - affordable housing, workplace protections, access to good education - to those locked out of the economy by racism. It is an attempt not only to make sense of where Black Lives Matter came from but also to understand the possibilities that Black Lives Matter and movements like it hold for our collective futures. Ultimately, it's an appeal to hearts and minds, demanding that we think about our privileges and prejudices and ask how we might contribute to the change we want to see in the world._______________'Alicia Garza combines immense wisdom with political courage to inspire a new generation of activists, dreamers and leaders... People like Alicia have been speaking up for decades. If we want to turn protest into substantive change, it's about time we finally listened.' David Lammy, MP'Insightful, compelling and necessary.' Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy

Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history.Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured.The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written.They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

A classic collection of the New Yorker's most urgent and groundbreaking reporting from the front lines of the climate emergencyIn 1989, just one year after climatologist James Hansen first came before a Senate committee and testified that the earth was now warmer than it had ever been in recorded history, thanks to humankind's heedless consumption of fossil fuels, New Yorker writer Bill McKibben published a deeply reported and considered piece on climate change and what it could mean for the planet.At the time, the piece was to some speculative to the point of alarmist; read now, McKibben's work is heroically prescient. Since then, the New Yorker has devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face.The Fragile Earth tells the story of climate change - its past, present, and future - taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay 'The End of Nature,' the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.

When Darwin set sail at the end of 1831, it was only with a vague notion that all life forms, both present and extinct, were more strongly related than the Christian version of the world's creation purported them to be. During his five-year voyage of research and discovery on board HMS Beagle, and later from his home in Kent, he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galapagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for a theory that would change the world we live in - and the way we look at it - for ever.The foundation of evolutionary biology and natural selection - which prompted as huge a revolution in the fields of science and religion as Copernicus's heliocentric model of the universe and Newton's law of gravity, Darwin's On the Origin of Species is perhaps the most important book of scientific observation ever written.
