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?

No Choice
On Friday 24 June 2022, women's rights suffered an extraordinary and unprecedented blow. Five US Supreme Court justices made a decision that will impact millions of lives for years to come.
In this gripping blend of reportage and history, journalist Becca Andrews tells the story how we have arrived at this devastating turning point.
NO CHOICE introduces the origin of abortion and its practice in global cultures, before focusing its gaze on the battle that has been waged for the past century across America, shining a light on the eerie ways in which life before Roe will be mirrored in life after. The wealthy and privileged will still have access, low-income people will suffer disproportionately, and pregnancy will be heavily policed.
Taking us to the frontlines - to clinics, courtrooms, local communities, charities - Andrews tells the deeply moving stories of those who have had abortions, and those who have fought - and are fighting - for the right to abortion. There is a glimmer of faint hope, though. As the battle moves to state legislatures around the country, the book profiles the people who are doing ground-breaking, inspiring work to ensure safe, legal access to this fundamental part of healthcare.

Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.

One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.

Wanted! The Job of Your Dreams – Better Career Choice Reorientation Job Application
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because the demands when choosing a career job search and application are high: interesting and exciting should be the dream job in Spe, but at the same time also safe and with good earnings prospects. But young people in particular often base their career choice on role models, their own parents or what is predicted as job prospects on the labor market. However, this can change more quickly than one might think; firmly established career paths dictated by vocational training are becoming increasingly rare, and the content of many training programs can barely keep pace with technological progress. Therefore, one should reflect on one's own talents and abilities and thus positively highlight the undreamed-of potential of one's own strengths in the application process. In this way, you may find a dream job you hadn't even thought of, and you can always adapt flexibly to an increasingly fast-changing job market, which is also an advantage if you want to change your career later in life. This book shows the opportunities and possibilities in the dream job search as well as obstacles and thus helps to find the right path. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Disaster by Choice
An earthquake shatters Haiti and a hurricane slices through Texas. We hear that nature runs rampant, seeking to destroy us through these 'natural disasters'. Science recounts a different story, however: disasters are not the consequence of natural causes; they are the consequence of human choices and decisions. We put ourselves in harm's way; we fail to take measures which we know would prevent disasters, no matter what the environment does.
This can be both hard to accept, and hard to unravel. A complex of factors shape disasters. They arise from the political processes dictating where and what we build, and from social circumstances which create and perpetuate poverty and discrimination. They develop from the social preference to blame nature for the damage wrought, when in fact events such as earthquakes and storms are entirely commonplace environmental processes. We feel the need to fight natural forces, to reclaim what we
assume is ours, and to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be wrath from outside our communities. This attitude distracts us from the real causes of disasters: humanity's decisions, as societies and as individuals. It stops us accepting the real solutions to disasters: making better decisions.
This book explores stories of some of our worst disasters to show how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its energies. The disaster is not the tornado, the volcanic eruption, or climate change, but the deaths and injuries, the loss of irreplaceable property, and the lack and even denial of support to affected people, so that a short-term interruption becomes a long-term recovery nightmare. But we can combat this, as Kelman shows, describing inspiring examples of
effective human action that limits damage, such as managing flooding in Toronto and villages in Bangladesh, or wildfires in Colorado.
Throughout, his message is clear: there is no such thing as a natural disaster. The disaster lies in our inability to deal with the environment and with ourselves.
