Říká se, že cestou k úspěchu je tvrdá práce. K úspěchu však často může vést i mnohem rychlejší a snadnější cesta – zkratka. A ve vytváření zkratek, které nám usnadňují život tím, že nám šetří čas a námahu, vyniká zvláště matematika – ta je v podstatě uměním vymýšlet zkratky. Přední britský matematik Marcus du Sautoy svou novou knihou Umění zkratky ukazuje, jak nám díky využívání důvtipných zkratek matematika dovoluje řešit problémy rychle a efektivně. Autor nás provede světem matematických zkratek – od vzorce a diagramu po kalkulus a teorii pravděpodobnosti. Dozvíme se, proč jeden diagram vedl k zásadním změnám ve zdravotní péči, proč je kalkulus největší zkratkou, která kdy byla vynalezena, nebo proč máme díky zkratkám výhodu i před nejvýkonnějšími počítači.

Cecil Parrott’s vibrant, unabridged and unbowdlerized translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Hašek’s turbulent life as an anarchist, communist and vagranty, and the Everyman character of Švejk.

The Good Soldier Svejk follows Josef Svejk ("one of the great characters of 20th century literature"--New Republic), a boisterous and sometimes bumbling (or brilliantly subversive?) Czech soldier, through the trials of World War I. Beginning with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914, we follow one of the great comic heroes of the 20th century on a wild trip through war-ravaged Europe, as he fakes illnesses, is captured by his own men, and embarks on various quixotic quests, always with a bizarre--and often hilarious--anecdote at the ready. Predating countercultural American classics like Catch-22 (whose defining paradox about the insanity of anyone who would volunteer for war is liberally adapted from Svejk's own invocation "The best thing you can do... is pretend to be an idiot") by a generation, The Good Soldier Svejk was one of the first anti-war satires, and still one of the finest ever written. Featuring Cecil Parrott's lively, unabridged translation, as well as the book's original illustrations, this will be the definitive publication of Hasek's masterpiece for years to come.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact.So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling.Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle.So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions.It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett's artist of choice - and further pencil drawings.

A chilling and revelatory expose of the KGB’s renaissance, Putin’s rise to power, and how Russian black cash is subverting the world. In Putin’s People, former Moscow correspondent and investigative journalist Catherine Belton reveals the untold story of how Vladimir Putin and his entourage of KGB men seized power in Russia and built a new league of oligarchs.

When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, weve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Lets be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesnt sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it isa dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, lets-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

This isn't a parenting book.This isn't a guide to being a perfect parent (spoiler: they don't exist)This is a book about you.We can only anchor, nurture, nourish and instill confidence in our children when we extend the same support to ourselves. After all, how can we effectively tend to our children's needs when our energy reserves are depleted? How can we lead by example and teach our children the importance of healthy self-esteem if we are struggling with these things ourselves? There are a thousand and one ways to parent, and only one way that's authentic for you.Drawing on her work as a psychotherapist, alongside her own experiences as a mother, Anna shows that caring with our children begins with caring for ourselves, and it's time to replace exhaustion with empowerment.

Have good intentions, over-parenting and the decline in unsupervised play led to the emergence of modern identity politics and hypersensitivity?In this book, free speech campaigner Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt investigate a new cultural phenomenon of "safetyism", beginning on American college campuses in 2014 and spreading throughout academic institutions in the English-speaking world.Looking at the consequences of paranoid parenting, the increase in anxiety and depression amongst students and the rise of new ideas about justice, Lukianoff and Haidt argue that well-intended but misguided attempts to protect young people are damaging their development and mental health, the functioning of educational systems and even democracy itself.

Říše je „hotova“ a stabilizována, kultura se obrací k soukromému životu a k idealizované minulosti. Athény, dávno politicky bezvýznamné, se stávají hlavním městem vzdělanosti, antickým Oxfordem. Římští žáci jezdí za řeckými profesory. Kultura těchto žáků a profesorů, „druhá sofistika“, nevytváří velké filosofické koncepty. Zabývá se praktickou etikou, vzpomínáním na zlatý věk Athén – a jazykem a stylem. Svazek přináší dvojí literární svědectví o této epoše. První je výbor z Attických nocí Aula Gellia, jednoho z oněch římských studentů. Gellius si vypisuje poznatky o klasické kultuře i zážitky ze života akademického i studentského. Zobrazuje komunitu, která se nestará o „velké dějiny“, ale raduje se z poznávání a ze čtení starých textů. Gelliův obraz této athénské komunity ovlivnil pak evropský humanismus, zvláště éru Erasmovu a Rabelaisovu, důvěřující v sílu literárního vzdělání přivést lidstvo na lepší cesty. Druhým svědectvím je výbor z listů mladičkého prince Marka Aurelia, který má daleko do pozdějšího stoického myslitele Hovorů k sobě. Mladý Marcus Aurelius a rétor Marcus Fronto, učitel princův (i učitel Aula Gellia), si píší o každodenních zážitcích i o jazyce a literatuře, o vášni poznávat – i o vášni vzájemné. Hrají spolu totiž literární hru na erotickou dvojici ve stylu Platónových dialogů. Tak se žije „po Athénách“. (patro.cz)

A timely book for today's world, Marcus Aurelius's Meditations explores how to endure hardship, how to cope with change and how to find something positive out of adversity.Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is translated by A. S. L. Farquharson and features an introduction by John Sellars.The Meditations are a set of personal reflections by Marcus Aurelius. He writes about the vicissitudes of his own life and explores how to live wisely and virtuously in an unpredictable world. He was a follower of the Stoic tradition of philosophy, and one of its finest advocates, both in the clarity of his writing and in the uprightness of his life. The aphorisms show how for him, as perhaps for us all, the answer to life lies in keeping a calm and rational mind, and in refusing to be cast down or alarmed by things over which we have no control.show less (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Začátkem června 2005 vysadil v noci vrtulník čtyři příslušníky amerických Navy SEAL k akci do hornaté oblasti pákistánsko-afghánských hranic. Jejich úkolem bylo zajmout nebo zabít známého vůdce al-Káidy. Věděli, že se nachází v tálibánském táboře střeženém malou, ale dobře vyzbrojenou skupinou bojovníků. Za necelých čtyřiadvacet hodin byl z těch čtyř Navy SEAL naživu pouze jeden. Je to příběh velitele střeleckého týmu Marcuse Luttrella, který jako jediný operaci Redwing přežil. Byla to urputná bitva v horách, která nakonec znamenala největší ztrátu lidských životů v historii Navy SEAL. Je to ale také příběh jeho týmových kolegů, kteří usilovně bojovali po jeho boku, dokud nezůstal jako jediný - výbuch RPG ho odhodil na místo, kde ho nemohli jeho pronásledovatelé najít. Během následujících čtyř dnů vážně zraněný Luttrell odrazil útok šesti bojovníků al-Káidy, kteří byli vysláni za ním, aby ho zlikvidovali. Po jedenáctikilometrové cestě horami zajal Luttrella paštunský kmen, který riskoval své životy, aby ho ochránil před dotírajícími bojovníky Tálibánu. Luttrell podrobně popisuje brutální výcvik Navy SEAL a se svými druhy zjišťuje, co to obnáší, stát se příslušníkem elitních speciálních jednotek. Zavádí nás do divoké bitvy vedené v pustých afghánských horách, kde obkličovaný americký tým překotně unikal před nepřítelem v dešti střel a úlomků skal. Tato kniha o odvaze, obětování, cti a vlastenectví je působivým příběhem moderní války. Za hrdinství v boji vyznamenal prezident Bush Marcuse Luttrella Námořním křížem. Druhé vydání je doplněno o osmistránkovou obrazovou přílohu. Na motivy této knihy byl v USA natočen film Lone Survivor s Markem Wahlbergem v hlavní roli. Do českých kin byl uveden 9. ledna 2014 pod názvem Na život a na smrt. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Marcus Tullius Cicero bývá jednomyslně považován za nejlepšího římského řečníka a mistra latinského jazyka. Mezi jeho nejslavnější řeči patří žaloba hamižného správce Sicílie Gaia Verra (In Verrem, 70 př. n. l.) či vystoupení proti Lucie Sergiu Catilinovi (In Catilinam, 63 př. n. l.) nebo Marcu Antoniovi (Philippicae, 44-43 př. n. l.). Soubor Caesarianae přináší tři pozoruhodné řeči, které Cicero přednesl před vítězem občanské války, samotným Gaiem Iuliem Caesarem, a ve kterých ho žádá o milost pro ty, kdo stáli – tak jako řečník sám – na straně poražených.

Studie Stevena Marcuse se věnuje autorům, čtenářům i samotným textům viktoriánské literatury o sexualitě šířeji a viktoriánské pornografii úžeji, a nabízí tak ohromující a revoluční pohled na podhoubí viktoriánské kultury. To, jak tato témata viktoriáni vnímali, vzbuzuje překvapení a podiv dodnes - také vlivem toho, jak se naše vnímání viktoriánů samotných neustále mění spolu se stavem současného bádání, jež jim navrací plné historické rozměry. Marcus nejprve zkoumá spisy dr. Williama Actona, jenž představuje "oficiální pohled" viktoriánské společnosti na sexualitu, a Henryho Spencera Ashbeeho, prvního a nejdůležitějšího bibliografa a badatele v oboru pornografie. Poté se obrací k nejzásadnější práci tohoto druhu z dané doby, k jedenáctisvazkové bezejmenné autobiografii Můj tajný život. Následuje rozbor čtyř viktoriánských pornografických románů - ten vrhá nepřímé, nicméně fascinující světlo na klasická díla viktoriánské literatury - a přehled podivuhodné hojnosti viktoriánských publikací věnovaných sebemrskačství. Knihu zakončuje kapitola nabízející obecnou teorii pornografie coby sociologického jevu. Skvěle napsané dílo, které jako málokteré změnilo celé zkoumání viktoriánského období. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
