From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory.

And the boy knows that he wants to be a magician.

The boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has arrived, and Hollywood comes calling.

Objevte firemní skandál, jenž otřásl světem, stál stovky nevinných životů a téměř zničil jednu globální instituci. Firma Boeing je sto let starý průmyslový obr, který pamatuje počátky komerčních letů, bombardovací mise za druhé světové války, a dokonce přistání na Měsíci. Přesto v letech 2018 a 2019 při dvou nehodách jejího letounu 737 MAX 8 zahynulo 346 lidí. Tato neštěstí odhalila šokující procesní chyby vedoucí k největší krizi v historii společnosti - a k jednomu z nejnákladnějších firemních skandálů v dějinách. Jak se mohly věci tak strašlivě zvrtnout? Kniha Let naslepo je vyčerpávajícím popisem obou neštěstí, jež šokovala celý svět; přináší mrazivý pohled do zákulisí společnosti odhalující její nefunkčnost, která přispěla k jedné z nejhorších tragédií v moderním letectví. Odhaluje bezohlednou firemní kulturu, kdy Boeing ve snaze trumfnout konkurenci a dopřát vrcholným manažerům vysoké odměny šetřil na testování svých letounů, nutil zaměstnance plnit nereálné termíny a nakonec přesvědčil regulační orgány, aby stroje vypustily do vzduchu, aniž by je nebo jejich piloty firma na létání řádně připravila. Kniha oceňovaného investigativního novináře Petera Robisona z agentury Bloomberg popisuje osudy firmy, jež neočekávaně uhnula z cesty. Je to příběh nekonečně fascinující a hluboce znepokojující a ukazuje, jak se ikonická společnost stane obětí mentality vítězství za každou cenu. A jak tento způsob uvažování může ohrozit celé průmyslové odvětví a přinést oběti na životech. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When we think about history, we rarely pay much attention to the most destructive floods, the worst winters, the most devastating droughts or the ways that ecosystems have changed over time. In The Earth Transformed, Peter Frankopan, one of the world's leading historians, shows that the natural environment is a crucial, if not the defining, factor in global history - and not just of humankind. Volcanic eruptions, solar activities, atmospheric, oceanic and other shifts, as well as anthropogenic behaviour, are fundamental parts of the past and the present. In this magnificent and groundbreaking book, we learn about the origins of our species: about the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment; about how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state; about how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples; about how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long and deep history. All provide lessons of profound importance as we face a precarious future of rapid global warming.Taking us from the Big Bang to the present day and beyond, The Earth Transformed forces us to reckon with humankind's continuing efforts to make sense of the natural world.

But when they view Cold Hill House - a huge, dilapidated, Georgian mansion - they are filled with excitement. Despite the financial strain of the move, Ollie has dreamed of living in the country since he was a child, and with its acres of land, he sees Cold Hill House as a paradise for his animal-loving daughter, a base for his web-design business and a terrific long-term investment. Caro is less certain, and Jade is grumpy about being removed from all her friends. But within days of moving in, it soon becomes apparent that the Harcourt family aren't the only residents in the house. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

With an Introduction and Notes by John M.L. Drew, University of Buckingham. Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the 'note of doom' which runs like 'a purple thread' through its carefully crafted prose. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE What if intelligent life on Earth evolved not once, but twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. What can we learn from the encounter? In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how nature became aware of itself – a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind’s fitful development from unruly clumps of seaborne cells to the first evolved nervous systems in ancient relatives of jellyfish, he explores the incredible evolutionary journey of the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous molluscs who would later abandon their shells to rise above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so – a journey completely independent from the route that mammals and birds would later take. But what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually ‘think for themselves’? By tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind – and on our own.

Although ranging considerably in tone, mood and milieu, the fifteen short stories included in this collection all centre around the city of Dublin and its inhabitants at the beginning of the twentieth century. From the unsettling adventure of two truant schoolboys to the crafty schemes of two con men, from a young woman’s refusal to abandon Ireland and elope with a sailor to a man’s moment of clarity during an annual dance party, these stories offer a moving portrait of an entire world and era which are about to disappear. James Joyce’s first published book, which he wrote when he was still in his twenties, Dubliners is far removed from the bold experimentalism of his later work, but is essential for the understanding of the author’s development as a writer and endures as a masterly example of the short-story form.
