How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions-suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

How to be Well Read
Ranging all the way from Aaron's Rod to Zuleika Dobson, via The Devil Rides Out and Middlemarch, literary connoisseur and sleuth John Sutherland offers his very personal guide to the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written.
He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how it fits into a broader context and he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid GBP20 for Black Beauty? It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so wittily informative, bite-sized pieces.
Encyclopaedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate.

Je niečo silnejšie ako sesterská láska?
Lívia je tá staršia. Tá úspešnejšia. Tá populárnejšia. Baška je tá, čo ostala na druhej koľaji... a to nielen v babských kruhoch na škole, ale aj doma a v srdciach rodičov. Keď sa Lívii rúca budúcnosť pred očami, rieši všetko po svojom a ničí všetkých naokolo. Nanešťastie je rodičovská láska niekedy slepá a pravda nemá šancu na prežitie. No ktorá sestra je v skutočnosti tá silnejšia a rozhodnejšia? Ktorá dokáže obetovať všetko, aby zabránila ďalšiemu súženiu?
Všetky šťastné rodiny sú si podobné, každá nešťastná rodina je nešťastná svojím spôsobom. Vo svojej štrnástej knihe sa Mirka Varáčková ponorila do navonok šťastnej rodiny, aby odhalila ich nešťastie.

Lacná kniha How to Be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood (-50%)
'I don't pretend to be an ordinary housewife'. So said Elizabeth Taylor, and therein lay her secret. From her days as a youthful minx at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to her post-studio reign as America's lustiest middle-aged movie queen, Taylor has defined the very essence of Hollywood stardom. Marching through the decades swathed in mink, discarding husbands nearly as frequently as she changed her diamond necklaces, Taylor dominated the headlines as no other star before or since. From America's sweetheart to America's homewrecker and then back again, she uncannily reflected (and at times predicted) the always shifting cultural zeitgeist. "How to Be a Movie Star" is a different kind of book about Elizabeth Taylor: an intimate look at a girl who grew up with fame, who learned early - and well - how to be famous.

Co to žere a kde to spí
Obrovské vesmírné překladiště Terango (neboli Terminál Sycango) je kromě přistávacích a odletových ramp kompletně vybudováno pod povrchem planety a personál tvoří jedenáct tisíc lidí a přes dva tisíce androidů. V podstatě jde o město s kompletním vybavením a servisem.
Všechno funguje tak, jak má, až do chvíle, než se začnou ztrácet lidi. Na Zemi se o tom nic neví, dokud se neztratí dcera náměstka baltimorské FBI. Náměstek na Terango pošle vyšetřovatelku Moiru Glaceovou. Jednak mu byla protivná a potřeboval se jí zbavit, jednak mu bylo jasné, že pokud má na Terangu někdo šanci něco vyšetřit, tak jedině drzá neřízená střela, což Moira je. Agentka hned po příletu pochopí, že je vetřelcem v dokonale funkčním, ale zároveň dokonale uzavřeném systému, který za všech okolností drží při sobě, a to včetně umělé inteligence, řídící veškerý provoz Teranga. Ostatně jinak by to ani nešlo, protože černý obchod (zbraně a drogy) tvoří třicet procent provozu překladiště. Systém si velmi rychle zanalyzuje, že Moira ten svůj vyšetřovací čumák strčila příliš hluboko do jeho struktury, a tudíž už se na Zemi vrátit nemůže. Moira má však na věc úplně jiný názor.
Samostatný román.

Lacná kniha How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (-50%)
We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years.
Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time to a tiny fraction of a second after our universe began. Along the way, he confronts some really big questions: What is matter really made of? How does the stuff around us escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
In pursuit of answers, Cliff ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the 'Antimatter Factory' where this stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls upwards). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental ingredients of matter.
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understanding of the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
A transfixing deep dive into origins of our world, How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch doesn't just put the makeup of our universe under the microscope, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
'A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me.' - Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
'If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.' - Carl Sagan
