Algorithms to Live By
A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime?Exploring how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, `Algorithms To Live By' helps to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. When should you switch between different tasks, and how many tasks should you take on in the first place? How much messiness should you accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favourites is the most fulfilling? When computers face constraints of time and space, they too must untangle very human questions: how to have better hunches, when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.Acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms developed for computers can be applied from finding your spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing your inbox to understanding the workings of memory. Where you have a dilemma, they have a rule, and each fascinating algorithm turns the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

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.

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.

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

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.

Cesta k dokonalosti: Jak řídit efektivně? / How to Solve the Mismanagement Crisis?
Kniha Ichaka Adizese nepatří k úplně nejnovějším, v originálu vyšla již poměrně dávno, nebyla však do dnešní doby do češtiny přeložena a na své aktuálnosti příliš neztrácí. Dokonce možná je v dobách krize takového pohledu zapotřebí více než kdy dříve. Je výrazným příspěvkem do diskuse o teorii řízení podniku. Na rozdíl od mnohých ostatních se Adizes nezaměřuje na managera jako individuum, ba naopak hlavní pozornost dává vhodnému skládání týmu. Individuálním charakteristikám se nevyhýbá, nevěří však v existenci ideálního - "učebnicového manažera". Vedle toho se poměrně intenzivně věnuje i životním cyklům organizací. Výběr vhodných vedoucích pracovníků z těchto fází rozvoje společností také vychází. Je logické, že dynamicky se rozvíjející mladá organizace s 10 zaměstnanci potřebuje jiný styl vedení, než se hodí pro nadnárodní korporaci zaměstnávající tisíce lidí. V textu se okrajově věnuje i diagnostice “zdravotního stavu” organizací a dále léčbou jejích neduhů. Nabízí několik neotřelých řešení, nedává však jednoznačný návod, který by fungoval každému a kdykoliv. Kniha je jen jakousi špičkou ledovce, většina zásadních Adizesových poznatků, obsažených v jeho metodologii, zůstává čtenářům skryta a naznačeny jsou jen její kontury. Dá se říct, že kniha je vlastně jakýmsi úvodem do studia celé metodologie, které jistě za hlubší poznání stojí.
Som Baťa, dokážem to!
Po motivačnom románe Prebijem sa! Štefánik prináša Jozef Banáš príbeh najúspešnejšieho česko-slovenského a jedného z najúspešnejších svetových podnikateľov – Tomáša Baťu zakladateľa. Keď mu na základnej škole učiteľ ponúkol namiesto nedostatočnej dostatočnú, ak zreálni slohovú prácu s témou Môj sen, Tomáš odmietol: „Vy si nechajte svoju dostatočnú a ja si nechám svoj sen.“
Vyjadril ho jedinou vetou: „ Raz budem obúvať celý svet.“ O štyridsať rokov ten svet už obúval.
Ako to dokázal? Ako začal, vytrval a zvíťazil? Hlbokou vierou vo svoj cieľ, v seba samého, vo svoju vôľu a odvahu. Slovo bolo preňho predohrou činu, nekupoval mozgy a ruky ľudí, ale získaval si ich srdcia, namiesto rečí šiel osobným príkladom. Desatoro bolo preňho základným životným a podnikateľským princípom.
Podnikateľ Martin Cirbus o románe hovorí: „S touto knihou nemôžete byť neúspešný. Prečítal som veľa motivačných románov, ale tento je najlepší. Prečo? Lebo u Banáša rovnako ako u Baťu platí: Pre nás je dobré len to najlepšie!“

Nevzdám to! Aurel Stodola
Po úspešných motivačných biografiách o Milanovi Rastislavovi Štefánikovi a Tomášovi Baťovi prináša Jozef Banáš tretí energizujúci román o jednom z najvýznamnejších svetových vedcov prvej polovice 20. storočia, Slovákovi a švajčiarskom občanovi Aurelovi Stodolovi. Tak ako sa Štefánikovi splnil jeho neuveriteľný sen – rozbiť rakúsko-uhorskú monarchiu –, Baťovi detský sen o tom, že raz bude obúvať celý svet, splnil sa sen aj Stodolovi. Nielenže sa stal vysnívaným profesorom na jednej z najvyspelejších technologických vysokých škôl na svete – ETH Zürich –, ale stal sa jej najmladším profesorom v dovtedajšej histórii. Stodolu postihli tragické požiare, národnostný útlak, rodinné tragédie, prežil dve vojny a polovicu života strávil v cudzine. Boj s nepriazňou a najmä s vlastnými slabosťami bol jeho každodenným chlebom. Nikdy nič nevzdal. Nevzdával sa za žiadnych okolností, hoci sa zdalo, že riešenie nie je, kráčal vpred, aj keď už zdanlivo nebolo kam. Osobný priateľ Alberta Einsteina, Alberta Schweitzera a ďalších velikánov svetovej vedy a umenia bol výsledkom vôle a disciplíny. Prísna disciplína a tvorivosť boli základným ukotvením jeho života. V súkromí žil v tichom zúfalstve, navonok však nedal nič znať, naopak, rozdával energiu, pomáhal a povzbudzoval milovaných študentov, ktorí milovali jeho.
Albert Einstein sa o ňom vyjadril ako o vznešenom mužovi s nehasnúcou túžbou po poznaní a tvorbe. Profesorka Univerzity Zürich Josette Baer uviedla: „Aj my Švajčiari sme na Slováka Stodolu hrdí.“ V predslove knihy cituje Stodolov pokračovateľ súčasný slovenský profesor ETH Zürich Juraj Hromkovič majstrove slová: „Beda národu, ktorý sa nestará o rast svojej elity.“ Tretí motivačný román Nevzdám to! Aurel Stodola je Banášovým príspevkom k rastu elít. Nielen slovenských a švajčiarskych. Povzbudí a posilní každého, kto chce rásť.

Lacná kniha How to Eat Vintage Classics Anniversary Edition (-50%)
Relax and relish Nigella Lawson's delicious prose in her first, revelatory cookery book, published as a reading edition in Vintage Classics for the first time to celebrate twenty years of How to Eat.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JEANETTE WINTERSON
`How to eat, how to cook, how to write: I want two copies of this book, one to reference in the kitchen and one to read in bed' Yotam Ottolenghi
When Nigella Lawson's first book, How to Eat, was published in 1998, two things were immediately clear: that this fresh and fiercely intelligent voice would revolutionise cookery writing, and that How to Eat was an instant classic of the genre.
Here was a versatile culinary bible, through which a generation discovered how to feel at home in the kitchen and found the confidence to experiment and adapt recipes to their own needs. This was the book to reach for when hastily organising a last-minute supper with friends, when planning a luxurious weekend lunch or contemplating a store-cupboard meal for one, or when trying to tempt a fussy toddler. This was a book about home cooking for busy lives.
The chief revelation was the writing. Rather than a set of intimidating instructions, Nigella's recipes provide inspiration. She has a gift for finding the right word to spark the reader's imagination, evoking the taste of the ingredients, the simple, sensual pleasures of the practical process, the deep reward of the finished dish. Passionate, trenchant, convivial and wise, Nigella's prose demands to be savoured, and ensures that the joy and value of How to Eat will endure for decades to come.
(This Vintage Classics reading edition of How To Eat is faithful to the original and has no pictures of the recipes. Photos below are from a celebratory How To Eat cooking session.)
