Natural History of Beer
A celebration of beer-its science, its history, and its impact on human culture
What can beer teach us about biology, history, and the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices to the resurgent American craft brewery, Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular level, and how various societies have regulated the production and consumption of beer.
Drawing from such diverse subject areas as animal behavior, ecology, history, archaeology, chemistry, sociology, law, genetics, physiology, neurobiology, and more, DeSalle and Tattersall entertain and inform with their engaging stories of beer throughout human history and the science behind it all. Readers are invited to grab a beer and explore the fascinating history of its creation.

Archy života - Historie rodu Löw-Beer
Mezi vilou Tugendhat a Schindlerovým seznamem
Tato kniha je příběhem o nepravděpodobném přežití jednoho jména a lidí, kteří je nosí.
Před rokem 1938 byla Morava a Brno pro majetnou rodinu židovských průmyslníků Löw-Beerů nejen domovem, ale i místem, kde se mohli plně realizovat v podnikání, kultuře i společenském životě. Československo představovalo špičku evropského modernismu a oni mu udávali tón. A pak, roku 1938, se vše zbortilo, museli bojovat o holé životy, přišli o všechno. Ti, kteří dokázali utéci, se rozptýlili po celém světě. Šli kamkoli, kam je pustili, v Československu z nich nepřežil ani jeden. Po válce svitla naděje, ale majetky brzy přešly do rukou komunistického režimu a příběhy jejich původních majitelů byly odsouzeny k zapomnění. Mezi přeživšími však kolovaly dál, i díky nim rodina přežila.
V roce 2010 začal jeden z jejích členů, Daniel Low-Beer, navštěvovat své příbuzné doslova po celém světě a sbírat střípky toho, co zbylo – příběhy o úniku z ghetta, o životě ve dvacátých a třicátých letech a útěku z Československa
Daniel Low-Beer je lékař působící při Světové zdravotnické organizaci, žije v Ženevě. Je přímým potomkem Arnolda Löw-Beera, posledního majitele rozsáhlého textilního komplexu v Brně a Brněnci.
A Natural History of the Future
Over the past century, our species has made unprecedented technological innovations with which we have sought to control nature. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life's overlords, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity, and even the surprising life of the London Underground, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops, dump toxic waste, or build communities, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life's future flourishing is not in question. Ours is.
A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.
Natural
Kniha Natural jednoho z nejznámějších českých sochařů Lukáše Rittsteina (lautreáta ceny Jindřicha Chalupeckého a vedoucího ateliéru sochařství na Pražské Akademii výtvarných umění) je nejen monografií, ale kapitoly metaforických soch balancujících mezi realitou a abstrakcí často viděných ve veřejném prostoru, provází i hluboký lidský příběh opakovaných setkání se symbolicky posledními kanibalskými náčelníky Papuánského kmene Yali Mek, kteří dokonce v některých kapitolách do plastik vstupují, happeningu se účastní a sochami se stávají…
The book Natural by one of the most famous Czech sculptors Lukáš Rittstein (winner of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award, leading the sculpture studio at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts) is not only a monography, but also the chapters of metaphorical sculptures balancing between reality and abstraction often seen in public space, are accompanied by a deeply human story of repeated encounters with the symbolically last cannibal chiefs of the Papuan Yali Mek tribe, who even enter the sculptures in some chapters, participate in the happenings and become sculptures...

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and The Natural History of Religion (EN)
Entertaining and insightful, David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion and The Natural History of Religion are considered to be among the most important philosophical works on the topic of religion. Each investigates the formation and consequences of religious belief: taking the form of a Platonic dialogue between three speakers (a sceptic, an empiricist and a theologian/mystic), the first work scrutinises the various arguments for the existence of God; while the second, which follows the rise of polytheism and its transformation to deism, provides a history on the development of religious thought.

The History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Pictures
Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Czech non-university sciences from the 18th century when the Society of Unknown Scholars in the Austrian Lands was founded in Olomouc. The main attention is focused on the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, active in 1953–1992, or earlier institutions, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (originally the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts), founded in 1890, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning, which existed already from the 18th century. Individual chapters are devoted also to Masaryk Academy of Labour and the main scientific institutions of the Germans living in the Czech lands – Gesellschaft zur Förderung Deutscher Wissenschaft, Kunst und Literatur in Böhmen (Society for the Support of German Sciences, Arts and Literature in Bohemia). Attention is, however, also devoted to our most important scientists with whose research results as well as the milieu in which they worked and work the reader is acquainted with through archival and contemporary sources. The patrons and sponsors who made it possible for Czech science to reach a global level are also not forgotten. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context, which influenced the development of the scientific institutions and the position of scientists in them.

Lacná kniha History of England (-70%)
One of the greatest figures of his age, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59) was widely admired throughout his life for his prose, poetry, political acumen and oratorical skills. Among the most successful and enthralling histories ever written, his History of England" won instantaneous success following the publication of its first volumes in 1849, and was rapidly translated into most European languages. Beginning with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and concluding at the end of the reign of William III in 1702, it illuminates a time of deep struggle throughout Britain and Ireland in vivid and compelling prose. But while Macaulay offers a gripping narrative, and draws on a wide range of sources including historical accounts and creative literature, his enduring success also owes a great deal to his astonishing ability to grasp, and explain, the political reality that has always underpinned social change."

Lacná kniha Cursed Britain: A History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times (-70%)
The definitive history of how witchcraft and black magic have survived, through the modern era and into the present day
Cursed Britain unveils the enduring power of witchcraft, curses and black magic in modern times. Few topics are so secretive or controversial. Yet, whether in the 1800s or the early 2000s, when disasters struck or personal misfortunes mounted, many Britons found themselves believing in things they had previously dismissed - dark supernatural forces.
Historian Thomas Waters here explores the lives of cursed or bewitched people, along with the witches and witch-busters who helped and harmed them. Waters takes us on a fascinating journey from Scottish islands to the folklore-rich West Country, from the immense territories of the British Empire to metropolitan London. We learn why magic caters to deep-seated human needs but see how it can also be abused, and discover how witchcraft survives by evolving and changing. Along the way, we examine an array of remarkable beliefs and rituals, from traditional folk magic to diverse spiritualities originating in Africa and Asia.
This is a tale of cynical quacks and sincere magical healers, depressed people and furious vigilantes, innocent victims and rogues who claimed to possess evil abilities. Their spellbinding stories raise important questions about the state's role in regulating radical spiritualities, the fragility of secularism and the true nature of magic.

Lacná kniha Brief History of the Third Reich (-70%)
Beginning in the broken aftermath of the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles that made German recovery almost impossible, Whittock tells not just the account of the men who rose to the fore in the dangerous days of the Weimar republic, circling around the cult of personality generated by Adolf Hitler, but also a convincing and personality-driven overview of how ordinary Germans became seduced by the dreams of a new world order, the Third Reich. The book also gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life in Germany during the Second World War and explores key questions such as how much did the Germans know about the Holocaust and why did the regime eventually fail so disastrously?

Seba. Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. 40th Ed.
The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Though scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665-1736) was unrivalled in his passion. His amazing collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime.
In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned careful and often scenic illustrations of every specimen. With these meticulous drawings, he arranged for the publication of a four-volume catalog, covering the entire collection from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds, and butterflies, as well as now extinct creatures.
This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction supplies background information about the fascinating tradition of natural collections to which Seba's curiosities belonged.
