Thomas Savage's dark poetic writing about bachelor brothers in a small town in early 20th century American will hook you in. Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. Phil is the bright one, George the plodder. Phil is tall and angular; George is stocky and silent. Phil is a brilliant chess player, a voracious reader, an eloquent storyteller; George learns slowly, and devotes himself to the business. Phil is a vicious sadist, with a seething contempt for weakness to match his thirst for dominance; George has a gentle, loving soul. They sleep in the room they shared as boys, and so it has been for forty years. When George unexpectedly marries a young widow and brings her to live at the ranch, Phil begins a relentless campaign to destroy his brother's new wife. But he reckons without an unlikely protector. From its visceral first paragraph to its devastating twist of an ending, The Power of the Dog will hold you in its grip.

Two leading authorities – a bestselling historian and the outstanding battlefield commander and strategist of our time – collaborate on a landmark examination of war since 1945. Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the past, and anticipate in the future, in order to navigate an increasingly perilous world. In this deep and incisive study, General David Petraeus, the former CIA director who commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over seventy years of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Petraeus and Roberts show how often critical mistakes have been repeated time and again, and explore the challenge, for statesmen and generals alike, of learning to adapt to various new weapon systems, theories and strategies. Among the conflicts examined are the Arab – Israeli wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the two Gulf wars, the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan, as well as guerrilla conflicts in Africa and South America. Conflict culminates with a bracing look at Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine, yet another case study in the tragic results that occur when leaders refuse to learn from history, and an assessment of the nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom of experience, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our recent past, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for understanding what the decades ahead will bring. ‘This collaboration between a famous general and a distinguished author is a marriage made in heaven. The book’s narrative is seamless, sustained by comparative judgements, and calculated to challenge the professional and enlighten the generalist’ PROFESSOR SIR HEW STRACHAN, Chichele Professor of History of War ‘Not since Clausewitz’ On War has a book provided so much insight into the nature of warfare. Deeply researched, brilliantly constructed and thoroughly entertaining, Conflict gets to the heart of why some nations win and others lose during war. It is a book that will shape the thinking of policy makers and military strategists for generations to come’ ADMIRAL WILLIAM H.

Během druhé světové války se stal Londýn nejen terčem německých náletů a cílem pro tisíce uprchlíků z kontinentu, ale proměnil se též v útočiště řady politických reprezentací z kontinentální Evropy.

A fully illustrated, panoramic world history of art from ancient civilisation to the present day, exploring the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse.Some fifty thousand years ago, on an island in modern-day Indonesia, an early human used red ochre pigment to capture the likeness of a native pig on a limestone cave wall.Around the same time, across the globe in Europe, another human retrieved a lump of charcoal from an old fire and sketched four galloping horses.It was like a light turning on in the human mind.Our instinct to produce images in response to nature allowed the earliest Homo sapiens to understand the world around us, and to thrive. Now, the art historian John-Paul Stonard has travelled across continents to take us on a panoramic journey through the history of art - from ancient Anatolian standing stones to a Qing Dynasty ink handscroll, from a drawing by a Kiowa artist from the Great Plains to a post-independence Congolese painting.Lavishly illustrated throughout, with a mixture of black and white and full colour images, Creation is an ambitious, thrilling and landmark work that leads us from Benin to Belgium, China to Constantinople, Mexico to Mesopotamia. Journeying from pre-history to the present day, it explores the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse, and asks how - and why - we create. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The Activist Leader argues that the world needs a new kind of business leader, one that thinks differently about their role in today’s challenges. From climate change to inequality, the major crises facing society have become critical issues for business, and the world expects companies to step up. This is a pragmatic book. Jon Miller and Lucy Parker show what it takes to do business in these challenging times, taking a close look at companies such as Apple, Mastercard, Nestle, Maersk, JP Morgan Chase and Walmart. Most people feel powerless when they look at the problems facing the world – but if you’re a leader in a big business, you’re not powerless. Whether you’re a top executive or earlier in your working life, this book shows that thinking like an activist can have a transformative impact – for yourself, for your businesses, and for broader society.

Protože desky Arduino™ jsou napájeny napětím 5 V, ale většina senzorů, indikátorů a flash karet funguje pouze na 3,3 V, zjistilo mnoho kutilů, že musí provést úpravu úrovní. Obousměrný převodník úrovní TXB0104 dokáže převést takřka každé napětí na jakékoli jiné napětí a dokonce i automaticky rozpozná směr převodu. Pouze rozhraní I²C resp. rozhraní s vysokou kapacitou vyžadují úpravy. Rozšiřovací deska vás ušetří nutnosti letovat velmi jemné rozteče vývodů tohoto čipu. Kondenzátory s kapacitou 0,1 µF na obou stranách společně s 10 KΩ pull up rezistorem u uvolňovacího signálu umožňují desku používat ihned po vybalení.

Kniha je společným dílem tří špičkových profesionálních hráčů pokerových multi-table turnajů na internetu, kteří mají odehrány desítky tisíc turnajů a na svém kontě více než 1 800 finálových stolů a stovky velkých výher. Pojďme si je nyní představit: Eric "Rizen" Lynch patří již léta mezi naprostou špičku turnajového pokeru. Přestože se věnuje především hře na internetu, má za sebou i celou řadu velkých úspěchů v živém pokeru a celkově si na své konto v živých turnajích připsal bezmála 1 000 000$. Ještě úspěšnější je Eric na internetu, kde má na svém kontě více než 50 vítězství a celkové výhry přes 1 500 000$. Jon "PearlJammer" Turner je hráč, kterého také není třeba pokerové veřejnosti příliš představovat. Američan - který nyní sídlí a hraje online poker z Mexika - za svou kariéru potrefoval na internetu více než 200 turnajů a jeho celkové výhry dosahují závratných šesti milionů dolarů. Přestože se také specializuje především na online multi-table pokerové turnaje, nevyhýbá se ani živé hře. I tam je velice úspěšný a za svou kariéru si prozatím v živých turnajích připsal více než jeden milion dolarů. Jon "Apestyles" Van Fleet je dalším z trojice mladých úspěšných profesionálních hráčů. Jeho výhry v online pokerových turnajích, kde zaznamenal více než 130 vítězství, již přesáhli hranici 5 000 000$. Autorskou trojici doplňuje jako spoluautor majitel vydavatelství Dimat Enterprises, Inc., provozovatel pokerových webových stránek a autor řady pokerových knih Matthew Hilger. I ten se zhruba před deseti lety věnoval pokeru na plný úvazek jako profesionál a na svém kontě má několik větších úspěchů. Postupně se však začal více a více věnovat dalším aktivitám souvisejících s pokerem a své hraní pokeru omezoval. Na co se v knize mohou čtenáři těšit? Kniha "Poker - tajemství hry na internetu" je napsána v unikátním formátu. Na čtenáře čeká celkem 50 pokerových hand pocházejících ze skutečně odehraných turnajů. Autoři knihy komentují průběh každé odehrané handy od samotného počátku před flopem až do jejího konce, analyzují jednotlivá rozhodnutí a navrhují nejlepší možná zahrání. U každé handy si tak čtenáři mohou přečíst, jak by se v dané situaci zachovali hned tři špičkoví turnajoví profesionálové! Díky tomu mají čtenáři jedinečnou příležitost takříkajíc z první ruky sledovat, jaké faktory při rozhodování zvažují v obtížných situacích ti nejlepší pokeroví hráči. Již po přečtení prvních několika hand je zřejmé, že tajemství úspěšné hry spočívá především v důkladné analýze situace u stolu. Kniha čtenáře naučí, jak správně uvažovat v klíčových situacích, kde záleží nejen na relativní síle kombinace, ale především také na pozici jednotlivých hráčů a velikost jejich stacků. Kromě toho je nutné brát v úvahu také skoky ve výplatní struktuře, které v pozdních fázích turnajů bývají obvykle již značné. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
