'A startling psychological mystery' Michael Greenberg. Benjamín Chaparro is a man haunted by his past. A retired detective, he remains obsessed with the decades-old case of the rape and murder of a young woman in her own bedroom.

Část I má název Theory of Sobolev Spaces (Teorie Sobolevových prostorů). Je rozdělena do 20 kapitol a jsou v ní uvedeny všechny poznatky nutné k porozumění matematické teorie metody konečných prvků a případné práci v této teorii. Část II, i když nese název Basic applications of the theory of Sobolev spaces in the finite element method (Základní aplikace teorie Sobolevových prostorů v metodě konečných prvků), obsahuje v kapitole 26 důkaz nejobtížnější věty uvedené v knize. Část III Variational problems in bad domains (Variační problémy ve špatných oblastech) obsahuje některé autorovy výsledky o metodě konečných prvků v dvojrozměrných oblastech, jejichž hranice mají tzv. body vratu. Část IV Variational problems in the case of parabolic-elliptic equations (Variační problémy v případě parabolicko-eliptických rovnic) obsahuje některé autorovy výsledky, které mají aplikace v kvazistacionárních problémech elektromagnetických polí, zejména v teorii točivých elektrických strojů Část V Semiregaular finite elements (Semiregulární konečné prvky). V této kapitole jsou probírány některé aspekty tzv. semiregulárních prvků, kdy v případě trojúhelníkových prvků je splněna pouze podmínka maximálního úhlu, podle kterého největší úhel trojúhelníku se nesmí blížit k ?. To znamená, že trojúhelníky mohou mít jeden úhel libovolně malý.

Now a major film starring Gemma Arterton, Sam Claflin and Bill Nighy. It's 1940. In a small advertising agency in Soho, Catrin Cole writes snappy lines for Vida Elastic and So-Bee-Fee gravy browning. But the nation is in peril, all skills are transferable and there's a place in the war effort for those who have a knack with words. Catrin is conscripted into the world of propaganda films. After a short spell promoting the joy of swedes for the Ministry of Food, she finds herself writing dialogue for 'Just an Ordinary Wednesday', a heart-warming but largely fabricated 'true story' about rescue and romance on the beaches of Dunkirk. And as bombs start to fall on London, she discovers that there's just as much drama, comedy and passion behind the scenes as there is in front of the camera...originally published as Their Finest Hour and a Half.

Mimořádné číslo Perception in Scholastics and Their Interlocutors přináší osm studií zkoumajících problematiku vnímání a smyslů v dějinách filosofie mezi 11. a 17. stoletím. Pozornost je zaměřena především na scholastické myslitele (od Anselma přes Petra Oliviho a Dunse Scota až po Suáreze), některé starší autory, jejichž myšlení scholastikové rozvíjeli (např. Aristotelés či Alhacen), případně současníky, kteří se scholastiky vcházeli do dialogu (např. Plethón či Valerián Magni). Soubor předložených studií si klade za cíl zpochybnit učebnicové představy o scholastice jako myšlenkově více či méně homogenní tradici, která je založena na rozvíjení aristotelského dědictví. Byť aristotelismus samozřejmě má mezi scholastiky významné postavení, na autory zkoumaného období mají silný vliv také platónská a augustinovská myšlenková tradice. V rámci jednotlivých příspěvků (a někdy i v myšlení jednotlivých autorů) je čtenář svědkem prolínání i vzájemného soupeření aristotelských i platónsko-augustinovských východisek a myšlenek. Z typických rysů platónské a augustinovské tradice jsou zmíněny např. důraz na roli pozornosti při vnímání, extramisní chápání zraku, metafyzika světla, teorie iluminace, důraz na perspektivu první osoby a sebe-reflexi. Z témat, která akcentuje spíše aristotelská tradice, je rozebrána ontologie vnímatelného předmětu a jeho kauzalita, role prostředí, či rozdíl mezi tzv. vnitřními smysly a jejich možné klasifikace.

Montgomery This collection of quotes from the literary greats explores just why cats have fascinated, mesmerised and often infuriated writers for centuries. Celebrating the mystery of these daydreaming, snarky, selfish, watchful, contemplative and changeable creatures, Puss in Books helps cat and book lovers to understand these beings who have intrigued great thinkers and writers since the dawn of time. Quotes include: ‘Time spent with a cat is never wasted’ – Colette ‘Those who play with cats must expect to get scratched’ – Miguel de Cervantes ‘If cats could write history, their history would be mostly about cats’ – Eugen Weber (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Na rozdíl od jiných antropologických studií zaměřujících se převážně na východoslovenské osady zvolil Jan Ort jako cíl svého terénního výzkumu obec s reputací "bezproblémového soužití" mezi jazykově i etnicky heterogenními obyvateli. Kniha nabízí etnografickou kritiku této idylické představy a ukazuje, jak současný stav souvisí s historickou transformací, naturalizací symbolických a materiálních nerovností, hranic a hierarchií, ale zároveň i se způsoby jejich vyjednávání. Výsledkem je text plný zajímavých etnografických popisů a postřehů, které v úhrnu poskytují odpověď na jednu z hlavních otázek textu: Kdo je tu místní? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Follow photographer Frédéric Chaubin as he embarks on a unique, century-spanning journey through Europe. Featuring images of more than 200 buildings in 21 countries, Stone Age presents the history and architecture of the most dramatic medieval castles of the continent in an unprecedented collection. A Legacy in Stone Castles and fortresses of medieval Europe Follow photographer Frédéric Chaubin as he embarks on a unique, century-spanning journey through Europe. Featuring images of more than 200 buildings in 21 countries, Stone Age presents the history and architecture of the most dramatic medieval castles of the continent in an unprecedented collection. Building on the success of his foray into Soviet design with CCCP, Chaubin once again documents the afterlife of highly rational structures that seem out of place in a modern-day world. Precursors of Brutalism, these castles value function over form and epitomize the raw materials and shapes that would go on to define so much of architectural history. Shot on film with a Linhof view camera, the collection is the outcome of five years of travel and investigation. Complete with a practical map and explanatory essay, its castles tell the story of 400 years, unfolding through the feudal Middle Ages into the 15th century. A photographic study of decay as much as endurance, Stone Agetraces the history of some of these singular structures that continue to enchant their audiences today and that occupy a distinct, mystical place in our collective imagination. The photographer and author Frédéric Chaubin has been, for twenty years, editor-in-chief of the French lifestyle magazine Citizen K. Since 2000 he has regularly featured works combining text and photography. His CCCP collection research was carried out from 2003 to 2010 and published in 2011. During the last five years, he has been dedicating himself to the Stone Age project. Frédéric Chaubin. Stone Age.

This gripping book full of unique photos was published jointly by the author and Czech Publishing House Lesnická práce in Kostelec nad Černými lesy in 2009. Author´s profound knowledge and original approach make the book an outstanding achievement beyond any traditional literature dealing with roe deer. It intends to give comprehensive information on roe deer biology and ethology, and primarily to root out myths and dogmas that have been passed on from one generation of hunters to another. Besides bringing the latest information on roe deer biology, it also shows trickiness and pitfall often lying in wait for and wrongly affecting hunters in their daily activities. It focuses on the most frequently discussed topical issues of hunting. Besides other interesting topics the book also deals with the phenomenon of antlers (aiming at explaining how the complex vascular and nerve systems affect the growth of antlers - from growing through mineralisation until casting). Its value also lies, among others, in an extensive chapter on abnormalities in roe deer antlers and reasons for them. In 2010 the book was awarded Czech-Moravian Hunting Association Prize in the field of professional literature. (patro.cz)

Gypsies have always intrigued and fascinated - partly because of their mysterious origins, and partly because of the romance of nomadism. But because they resist assimilation, having survived as a distinct people for over a thousand years, they have also been the victims of other people's nationalism and xenophobia. In this fascinating and timely study, Fonseca focuses particularly on the gypsies in Eastern Europe (an estimated 6 million), and their future as a distinct race within a nationalist Europe. While researching the book, Fonseca learned Romany and stayed with the gypsies, becoming deeply involved with their lives, and befriending several gypsy kings. The result is a clolourful and frank book, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity, without lapsing into piety or romanticism. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When Emma leaves her friend Abi at a party in the woods, she believes that their lives are just beginning. Many things will happen that night, but Emma will never see her friend again. What happens next in Whistling Ridge is so much more than the story of a missing girl. It's a story of secrets and shame, regrets and rage, love and lies. For Abi's disappearance cracks open the facade of the small town, peeling away the layers of its secret past. Even within Abi's own family there are questions to be asked - of Noah, the older brother whom Abi betrayed, of Jude, the shining younger sibling who hides his battle scars, of Dolly, her mother and Samuel, her father - both in thrall to the fiery preacher who holds the entire town in his grasp. Then there is Rat, the outsider, whose presence both unsettles and excites those around him. Anything could happen in Whistling Ridge, this tinder box of small-town rage. All it will take is just one spark...the truth of what happened that night at the Tall Bones. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
