Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change Our World
Space: the biggest geopolitical story of the coming century – new from the multi-million-copy international bestselling author of Prisoners of Geography
Spy satellites orbiting the Moon. Space metals worth billions. Humans on Mars within our lifetimes.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
We’re entering a new space race – and it could revolutionise life on Earth.
Space: the new frontier, a wild and lawless place. It is already central to communication, economics, military strategy and international relations on Earth. Now, it is the latest arena for human exploration, exploitation – and, possibly, conquest. We’re heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. China, the USA and Russia are leading the way.
From physical territory and resources to satellites, weaponry and strategic choke points, geopolitics is as important in the skies above us as it is down below. If you’ve ever wondered if humans are going back to the Moon, who will benefit from exploration or what space wars might look like, the answers are here.
With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this gripping book shows how we got here and where we’re going, covering great-power rivalry; technology; commerce; combat in space; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. This is essential reading on power, politics and the future of humanity.

Komu kniha pomůže?
Začátečníci i zkušení tradeři – na své si přijdou všichni. Prvním dá mnoho praktických rad a návodů do prvních obchodů. Druzí si díky knize vylepší svoje obchodní plány a strategie. Jak začínající, tak pokročilí obchodníci začnou generovat konzistentní a pravidelný zisk.
Stejně jako v případě první knihy Ludvíka Turka o Price Action, i tady lze všechny metody a setupy z knihy používat na jakémkoliv trhu na světě – akciový index S&P 500, Russell 2000, měnové páry FOREX, komodity (zlato, ropa, pšenice), komoditní spready, opce, akcie evropské, americké nebo jiné.
K 100% využití knihy pro vlastní trading je vhodné mít přečtenou i knihu Price Action – Jak vidět, co jiní nevidí, na kterou volně navazuje. Dvojnásobná nálož praktických návodů = dvojnásobná šance na zisk.
Ludvík Turek o své nové knize říká:
„Za sebe mohu zaručit, ze v nové Price Action 2 knize najde každý, opakuji každý, originální myšlenku, kterou nikdy neviděl. Oproti první knize o Price Action jsme zařadili další, nikde nepublikované setupy, vstupy a výstupy dle čistého cenového grafu.
Novou knihu jsem psal pro pokročilejší začátečníky a zkušené tradery – s důrazem na názornost, bez zbytečných textů a vaty, která se běžně do knížek dává kvůli zásahu co největšího publika. Zařadil jsem spoustu grafů s přesným vysvětlením různých tržních formací, které já i spousta mých známých denně využíváme.
Koncepty a strategie v knize vycházejí z našich osobních zkušeností a tisíců hodin strávených nad grafy. Nejde o stokrát přebrané, nefunkční metody, ale o naše vlastní originální setupy s logikou pro obrat i pokračování trendů, které se nevešly do mé první knížky o Price Action.“

"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
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.

If Love Had A Price
A steamy opposites attract romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
Every heart has a price.
She offered him $10,000 to seduce her father's gold-digging fiancée.
He countered with $15,000 and a kiss - from her. At any time he chose.
Kris should've said no, but she was desperate to get rid of her stepmother-to-be, and the gorgeous actor with the wicked grin was perfect for the job.
So she agreed to his terms - not knowing that doing so would cost her a lot more than money and a kiss...
He did it for the money - which he desperately needed.
The kiss was just a bonus - or so he told himself.
Melting an ice princess like Kris started as a challenge, but by the time Nate realized there was more to Kris than meets the eye, it was too late: he had fallen.
But they're not just from opposite sides of the track - they're from different worlds. And when those worlds collide, Kris and Nate must decide whether they're willing to give up what they have for what could be...
This is book three of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Chronologically, it takes place between books one (If We Ever Meet Again) and two (If the Sun Never Sets).
Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and explicit content.

The Price of Time
The first book of the next crisis. A history of interest rates by a leading financial commentator, updated with a new postscript.
*Winner of the 2023 Hayek Book Prize*
*Longlisted for the 2022 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award*
All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest coordinates these activities. The story of capitalism is thus the story of interest: the price that individuals, companies and nations pay to borrow money.
In The Price of Time, Edward Chancellor traces the history of interest from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia, through debates about usury in Restoration Britain and John Law ' s ill-fated Mississippi scheme, to the global credit booms of the twenty-first century. We generally assume that high interest rates are harmful, but Chancellor argues that, whenever money is too easy, financial markets become unstable. He takes the story to the present day, when interest rates have sunk lower than at any time in the five millennia since they were first recorded - including the extraordinary appearance of negative rates in Europe and Japan - and highlights how this has contributed to profound economic insecurity and financial fragility.
Chancellor reveals how extremely low interest rates not only create asset price inflation but are also largely responsible for weak economic growth, rising inequality, zombie companies, elevated debt levels and the pensions crises that have afflicted the West in recent years - conditions under which economies cannot possibly thrive. At the same time, easy money in China has inflated an epic real estate bubble, accompanied by the greatest credit and investment boom in history. As the global financial system edges closer to yet another crisis, Chancellor shows that only by understanding interest can we hope to face the challenges ahead.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

Co říká autor knihy Ludvík Turek?
„V knize ukazuji své oblíbené nastavení obchodů, od prvotní analýzy, myšlenkového toku a rozhodování o vstupu, výstupu a řízení peněz. Uvidíte trady i s výpisy z obchodních účtů!
Na burze obchoduji od roku 1997. Za tu dobu jsem vyzkoušel stovky přístupů na všech trzích. Většina ziskových obchodníků obchoduje dle čistého grafu, market profilu nebo toku objednávek. Vše základní strategie, první 3, 4 kapitoly z každé metody.
Mé vlastní metody nejsou složité technicky. Používám vesměs support resist zony z Price Action, Market Profile® a pak pomocí velkých objednávek určím target a stop loss.
Podobně obchoduje většina traderů, se kterými jsem kdy obchodoval v různých trading soutěžích u nás, v Itálii, Francii, či Německu. Larry Williams, Joe Ross, Davide Biocchi, Rob Hofman, John Person, Larry Pesavento a samozřejmě nespočet mých známých traderů. U všech je společný jmenovatel – jednoduchá znalost support resistence oblastí a tisíce hodin zkušeností s řízením peněz v nevyzpytatelném trhu.“
The Price of Life
We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job. In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.
In a series of extraordinary encounters – with people who have faked their own death or lost a loved one to terrorism, with hitmen and with modern day slaves – she discovers more questions than answers. What does it mean for our humanity when we crunch the numbers to decide who gets the expensive life-saving drugs, and who misses out? What do we learn about ourselves when philanthropic giving by the effective altruists in Silicon Valley is received by some, while others are left to suffer? Are some lives really worth more than others? And what happens when we take human emotions out of the equation? Does it make for a fairer decision-making process – or for moral bankruptcy?
Exploring the final frontier in monetization, Kleeman asks what we lose and what we gain by leaving the judgments that really matter up to cold, hard logic.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way. After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is hoping to have a normal senior year. Unfortunately, the gods aren't quite done with him.
Percy will have to fulfil three quests in order to get the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus for college. The first quest is to help Zeus's cup-bearer retrieve his goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Can Percy, Grover, and Annabeth find it in time? Readers new to Percy Jackson and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology.
The Education of an Idealist
'Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.
