Hledá proto způsoby, jak nastalou situaci přečkat, a navíc se musí vypořádat s problémy způsobenými zakázanou láskou.

V knize Zelená lékárna - Průvodce léčivými potravinami se dr. Duke zaobírá širším a ještě více populárním tématem - jídlem jako lékem. Čerpajíc z více než třicetiletého výzkumu stanovuje nejsilnější léčivé potraviny na Zemi. Ať už odhaluje, jak se poprat s vysokou hladinou cholesterolu pomocí borůvek, jak bojovat proti návalům horka černými fazolemi, hraničnímu cukru v krvi mandlemi nebo zmírnit trýznivé bolesti zad za pomoci ananasu, potravinové léky dr. Dukeho pomáhají léčit a předcházet celé škále zdravotních problémů, od méně závažných (jako jsou například spálení a nachlazení) k vážnějším (jako jsou například artritida a diabetes). Dejte přednost přírodním "lékům" před chemií. Doktor Duke popsal každou potravinu z hlediska jejího posouzení podle dostupných vědeckých studií i neoficiálních zpráv. Mnohé z léčivých potravin zde doporučených se ukazují být tak efektivní, že mohou překonat populární farmakologická léčiva - bez rizik (a ceny). (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Wanted: One (very real) husband Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best Two years ago, Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends...and somehow figured out a way to make it all work. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. That's what you do when you love someone this desperately, right? But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a hotly contested rainbow balloon arch to get this semi-disgraced son of former rock stars and his tightly-buttoned-up boyfriend from I don't know what I'm doing to 'I do'. Good thing Oliver is such perfect husband material. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

WANTED: One (fake) boyfriend Practically perfect in every way Luc O'Donnell is tangentially-and reluctantly-famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened. But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go. Discover the LGBT romance about exact opposites falling in perfectly imperfect love that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning."

Snad skoro každý člověk byl někdy při své pouti životem zatažen do víru erotiky a sexu. To se stalo, možná poněkud v drsnější formě, i hrdinům těchto příběhů, kteří se s nečekanými situacemi potýkají, jak nejlépe mohou. Možná se najdou dva tři čtenáři (nebudeme licitovat jako Abraham s Pánem Bohem před branami Sodomy - viz Genesis 18,24), kteří při čtení zvolají: "Ano! Tak tomu je! Dobře vystihnuto!

Abridged, with an Introduction by Patrick Renshaw. Democracy in America is a classic of political philosophy. Hailed by John Stuart Mill and Horace Greely as the finest book ever written on the nature of democracy, it continues to be an influential text on both sides of the Atlantic, above all in the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe.De Tocqueville examines the structures, institutions and operation of democracy, and shows how Europe can learn from American success and failures. His central theme is the advancement of the rule of the people, but he also predicts that slavery will bring about the 'most horrible of civil wars', foresees that the USA and Russia will be the Superpowers of the twentieth century, and is 150 years ahead of his time in his views on the position and importance of women.

20th July 1969: Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. We've seen the footage, we've heard the history, we've marveled at mankind's great achievement. What we don't know is what it takes for astronauts to stay focused, calm and prepared when facing the impossible. Having studied mission archives and first-person accounts of the Apollo 11 moon landings and examined recent psychological and neuroscientific research, Psychologist Richard Wiseman has uncovered NASA's greatest untold discovery: the Apollo Mindset. And this is the missing manual. While mankind was making leaps in progress, the man who made it to the moon in the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander had taken many small steps in his mind to reach this landmark moment. Richard Wiseman is here to share the seven psychological principles you need to accomplish the impossible. While most of us won't explore space, we can use the same ideas and techniques used by the team behind the Apollo 11 to accomplish your most far-reaching goals. Be it starting your own business, getting promoted or giving up the rat-race and pursuing your lifelong dream, the Apollo Mindset will help you to reach your own moon. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction. A FEAST FOR CROWS It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King s Landing. Robb Stark s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out. But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces some familiar, others only just appearing are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead. It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests but only a few are the survivors. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The crucial component of such interventions, often on disused buildings, is sustainability and can be summed up in this clear and concise maxim: ""the greenest building is the one that is already built"". Through projects of various scales, often surprising but always sensitive to the historical context in which they are situated, this book illustrates the fascinating process of reconversion of built architecture.
