Work Like Any Other
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Placing itself perfectly alongside acclaimed work by Philipp Meyer, Jane Smiley and JM Coetzee, this debut novel charts the story of Roscoe T Martin in rural Alabama in the 1920s. Roscoe has set his sights on a new type of power spreading at the start of the 20th century: electricity. It becomes his training, his life's work. But when his wife Marie inherits her father's failing farm, Roscoe has to give it up, with great cost to his pride and sense of self, his marriage and his family. Realising that he might lose them all, he uses his skills as an electrician to siphon energy from the state, ushering in a period of bounty and happiness on a farm recently falling to ruin. Even the love of Marie and their son seems back within Roscoe's grasp. Then everything changes. A young man is electrocuted on their land. Roscoe is arrested for manslaughter and - no longer an electrician or even a farmer - he must now carve out a place in a violent new world. 'Gorgeously spare and brilliantly insightful, Work Like Any Other is a striking debut about love and redemption, the heavy burdens of family and guilt, and learning how to escape them ...Virginia Reeves is a major new talent' Philipp Meyer, bestselling author of The Son 'An exceptional novel . ..I absolutely loved it' Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds 'Assured and absorbing ...a potent mix of icy honesty and heart-wrenching tenderness' Jim Crace, author of Harvest and Being Dead

Any Other Family
They look just like any other family... but between the four children there are THREE sets of parents who committed to an open adoption of biological siblings, keeping the children connected after the death of their grandmother.
Tabitha the planner of the group, is insistent that everything happens just so. Quiet single mother Ginger resists the forced togetherness, and newest mother Elizabeth is still reeling from going directly from failed fertility treatments into adopting a newborn.
But when the three women receive a surprising call from their children’s birth mother, announcing she is pregnant again and wants them to help her find an adoptive family for this child too, the delicate bonds they are still struggling to form threaten to collapse. As tensions start to rise on their joint family holiday, the three women reckon with their own feelings about what it means to be a mother and what they owe each other as a family.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters returns with a striking and intimate new novel about three very different women facing an impossible question: what makes a family?
Lucia Dovičáková – Cítim sa ako.../I feel like...
Lucia Dovičáková (1981) patrí k neprehliadnuteľným umelkyniam na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne. V centre Dovičákovej záujmu je žena a jej obraz. Výstava Cítim sa ako… predstavuje diela Lucie Dovičákovej zo zbierky Galérie Nedbalka, ktoré odrážajú nosné témy objavujúce v autorkinej tvorbe od jej študentských čias po súčasnosť, rozdelené do tematických okruhov: Rozprávky o kráse, Žena a iné spotrebiče v domácnosti, Zvery v nás, Moja krv a mlieko a Cítim sa ako... Dovičákovej obrazy dokážu preklenúť priepasť medzi teóriou a každodennou realitou, medzi presvedčenými feministami*tkami a tými, ktorí*é pri pohľade na jej diela zažijú aha-moment napr. v podobe smiechu nad situáciou, ktorá je síce zveličením, ale zasahuje podstatu problému s milimetrovou presnosťou. Práve (seba)irónia a zveličenie sú zbraňou, ktorá sa v správnych rukách dokáže premeniť na emancipačný nástroj.

Steal Like an Artist
When asked to talk to students at Broome Community College in upstate New York in the spring of 2011, Austin Kleon wrote a simple list often things he wished he'd heard when he was their age: 'Steal like an artist; Don't wait until you know who you are to start making things; Write the book you want to read; Use your hands; Side projects are important; Do good work and put it where people can see it; Geography is no longer our master; Be nice (the world is a small town.); Be boring (it's the only way to get work done.); and, Creativity is subtraction.' After giving the speech, he posted the text and slides to his popular blog, where it quickly went viral. Now Kleon has expanded his original manifesto into an illustrated guide to the creative life for writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, photographers, musicians, and anyone attempting to make things - art, a career, a life - in the digital age. Brief, direct, and visually interactive, the book includes illustrative anecdotes and mini-exercise sections calling out practical actions readers can take to unleash their own creative spirits.

What Really Happened in Wuhan: a Virus Like No Other, Countless Infections, Millions of Deaths
Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia.
The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.
Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit.
With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists.
Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.
Drobná Emma - Better Like This CD
KDO: Zpěvačka Emma Drobná, rodačka z Nového Města nad Váhom, se do povědomí veřejnosti dostala díky vítězství v soutěži Česko-Slovenská SuperStar 2015. Svoje první studiové album You Should Know vydala v roce 2017. Největším hitem z něj se stala skladba Words. Na Slovensku byla vyhlášena nejhranější domácí písničkou hned dva roky za sebou, v české Top 50 CZ vydržela 73 týdnů. Na YouTube klip nasbíral přes 8,3 miliónu zhlédnutí.
CO: Zkratku názvu druhého studiového alba Emmy Drobné Better Like This (BLT) vystihuje i obal alba se známým sendvičem. Album vznikalo v průběhu dvou let ve spolupráci s osvědčeným spoluautorským a producentským týmem Adrian Líška, Peter Graus a Tomáš Zubák. Zajímavostí je opět jediná skladba ve slovenštině Stratím sa ti ráno, do které si Emma přizvala předního slovenského rapera Separa. Emma zaujme příjemným moderním soundem, ale i uptempovými skladbami, jejichž předzvěstí je aktuální hit Yeah Baby.

Prvé príkrmy
Kedy je čas začať? Čím začať? Ako postupovať? Koľko je dosť? Čo keď to nejde?... Všetko, čo potrebujete vedieť o prvých príkrmoch, nájdete v tejto knihe.
Kniha Prvé príkrmy je určená pre všetkých rodičov, ktorým záleží na strave svojich detičiek. Výživa dieťaťa je totiž základným stavebným prvkom pre správny psychický a fyzický vývoj a jeho zdravie na celý život.
Autorky sa v knihe venujú základnej problematike úplne prvých príkrmov pre deti vo veku do 12 mesiacov, najčastejšie kladeným otázkam, s ktorými sa rodič môže stretnúť, a samozrejme, praktickým tipom a receptom na príkrmy, ktoré po jednoduchej úprave budú chutiť aj starším deťom a celej rodine.
Cieľom tejto knihy je motivovať vás, informovať a poskytnúť prehľad o najnovších trendoch v stravovaní našich najmenších, inšpirovaných prírodou a našou históriou. V knihe nájdete aj prehľadnú tabuľku s postupom zavádzania jednotlivých surovín, ktorá vám uľahčí rozhodnutie o správnom načasovaní.
Autorky knihy sa dlhodobo venujú projektom zdravého stravovania. Anetta Vaculíková je ambasádorkou Food Revolution Jamieho Olivera na Slovensku a spoluzakladateľkou vzdelávacích projektov Jem iné a Foodkut. Eva Blaho študovala zdravú výživu a fytoterapiu na populárnej univerzite komplementárnej medicíny ACNT v Austrálii, v rámci projektu Foodkut organizuje workshopy a kurzy zdravého varenia, okrem toho prednáša a píše odborné knihy. Katarína Ovečková Medveďová svoje viac ako 10-ročné skúsenosti v gastronómii zbierala v reštaurácii Jardu Žideka, pri spolupráci s nórskym šéfkuchárom p.Madsenom či pri filme Ako sa varili dejiny.
Kniha Prvé príkrmy je skvelá a inšpiratívna. Odporúčam ju ako výborného pomocníka pre všetky mamičky bábätiek do 1 roka života. V knihe nájdu širokú škálu chutných receptov a návodov, ako by mal vyzerať nutrične vyvážený zdravý detský tanier podľa súčasných medicínskych overených odporúčaní v jednotlivých vekových obdobiach. Zároveň je plná cenných rád, nápadov a návrhov, ako môžu rodičia naučiť svoje detičky láske k jedlu nielen z nutričného, ale aj zo spoločenského hľadiska.
