The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.
American National Parks
Wide, breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear, blue lakes, high, snow-covered mountain peaks, but also wild grizzlies, buffalos, mustangs, and rare animal species: this is North America. With nearly 60 national parks, the United States is preserving a living monument to the continent's pristine nature in an effort to make it accessible to everyone. This book presents the most beautiful parks in over 450 photographs. Each has its own character and individual charm. Alaska, high in the northwest of the American continent, boasts spectacular wide expanses and immense geological variety such as the highest mountain of North America, the Denali. Continuing on the northern route from west to east, the high mountain regions of the Rocky Mountains overwhelm their visitors with countless blue glacier lakes and thundering waterfalls. Yellowstone, the oldest national park, is pure magic with dazzlingly colourful thermal springs, erupting geysers, and large herds of bison. Continuing on the southern route from west to east, the striking granitoid formations of Half Dome and El Capitan in the popular Yosemite National Park are impressive sights. Death Valley fascinates with contrasts of hot salt deserts and ice-cold, snowcapped peaks.
Architektúra Architecture
Svojou koncepciou i záberom unikátna výtvarno-odborná publikácia predstavuje kľúčové estetické princípy architektúry. Umelecké fotografie historickej a súčasnej architektúry na Slovensku a v Česku, doplnené kvalifikovaným sprievodným textom, umožňujú pochopenie abstraktných princípov a poodhaľujú tajomstvo prepojenia estetiky a funkcie architektonických diel. Fotograf Rastislav Bero, pôvodnou profesiou architekt, je živým príkladom symbiózy dvoch tvorivých prístupov pri hľadaní kritérií, ktoré podmieňujú vznik kultivovanej a kvalitnej architektúry. Jeho fotografie sú architektonické štúdie s charakteristickou vizuálnou poetikou. Vychádzajú zo zážitku vnímania celých komplexov, ale i detailov exteriéru a interiéru. Výtvarné chápanie priestoru, architektonický náhľad na architektúru, jej vyznenie, kompozíciu – všetky tieto hodnoty bude zreteľne vnímať aj čitateľ knihy, odborník či vnímavý obdivovateľ krásy. Stručné a výstižné texty autoriek S. Bašovej, B. Polomovej a A. Urlandovej z Fakulty architektúry STU charakterizuje spojenie odborného a prozaického štýlu. Úryvky z diela Citadela od A. de Saint-Exupéryho vhodne dotvárajú ducha diela. Prehľadný index poskytuje lokalizáciu objektov a mená autorov architektonických diel.

En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Lacná kniha Ako sa zo mňa takmer stal Američan (-70%)
Kniha je písaná na základe denníka, ktorý si autor knihy - Andrej Krcho - počas pobytu v Amerike písal. Je teda písaná jednoducho a vecne, no hlavne veľmi autenticky. To iste ocenia najmä tí, ktorí majú podobný výlet ešte len pred sebou. Môžu si to vďaka knižke najprv prežiť len tak "nanečisto" a potom sa rozhodnúť. Ako človek, ktorý podobný pobyt tiež absolvoval však jedným dychom dodávam, že i pre mňa bolo veľmi zaujímavé konfrontovať vlastné zážitky s tými Andrejovými. A napokon, keďže spoznávanie zahraničia sa iste, okrem nespočetných praktických kladov, naviac stáva i akýmsi módnym trendom, je táto knižka zaujímavým čítaním pre hocikoho, kto nežije ustrnulý kdesi v minulosti, rád ide s dobou a chce poznať súčasný životný štýl mladých ľudí.

Green Architecture Today
For several decades the concepts of ecology and sustainability have generated influential currents of opinion in society, affecting all areas of our lives. Nowadays, no sensible person goes against the theory of global warming or the ever more pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the field of architecture, significant changes and developments are evolving.
However, experience tells us that we still have a way to go. The percentage of sustainable buildings is still very low compared to the increased volume of building projects all over the world. Much more participation is still required on the part of everyone involved - from architects and building contractors to manufacturers of materials and end customers.
This book gives this leading role to thirty selected international architects, all professionals who reveal the new trends in sustainable architecture and how they have contributed through their ideas to the basics of sustainable architecture.

Lacná kniha Ten Američan (-25%)
Velice působivá prvotina jednoho z nejnovějších hlasů v oblasti napínavých příběhů. Andrew Britton vytvořil odvážný román, který praská vysokými sázkami, naléhavostí typickou pro dobu po 11. září a uvádí na scénu nerudného agenta CIA Ryana Kealeyho.
