V částečně autobiografickém románu zpracovává Hugo Ball zkušenosti ze svého pre-dadaistického období, kdy působil jako pianista a vedoucí varietního souboru. Hlavní postava Max Flametti, který loví v městské řece načerno ryby, aby nakrmil svůj soubor, podílí se na obchodu s drogami, má opletačky s policií kvůli konkubinátu a bojuje s intrikami vlastních lidí, je jednou z mnoha tragických figur dobové bohémy. Brilantní psychologická studie lidských charakterů se v próze prolíná s portrétem živelného Curychu, jenž se stal podhoubím nového uměleckého směru.

Existuje velmi mnoho událostí našich národních dějin, jež nejsou opakovaně podrobovány vědeckému zkoumání, jelikož v minulosti na ně přijatý názor se rozšířil a stal se obecnou znalostí, a to bez ohledu na jeho správnost či úplnost. Takové téma má pak charakter tabu – není třeba o něm přemýšlet, není třeba jej hodnotit, není třeba o něm polemizovat, ani na akademické, ani na jiné úrovni.Argumentační klamy jsou projevem nedostatku kritického myšlení a mají přesvědčit druhou stranu o správnosti hájeného názoru za každou cenu, bez ohledu na věcnou pravdivost. Jedním z těchto klamů je argumentum ad populum, který by se dal vyjádřit úslovím, které autor použil jako titul své knihy: To ví přece každý.V knize autor představuje sedm témat z doby prvního čtvrtstoletí existence naší republiky, jejichž převažující interpretace pohříchu zamrzla v dobách dávno minulých, a otvírá tak prostor otázkám, zda to všechno nebylo poněkud jinak.

Básnický debut Vojtěcha Beránka pracuje s lyrickými a často atemporálními výňatky z každodenních situací, kterými autor zachycuje skrytá a často netušená dramata všedních situací a dnů. Autorův básnický svět je syrový a tvrdý, viděný jakoby „zdola“ – z míst, kde se vyskytují lidé na okraji společnosti i jejího zájmu. Protagonisté autorových básní jsou často obyčejní lidé žijící na sídlištích, notnou část knihy však prostupují reflexivní pasáže lyrického subjektu, ve kterých se lidé buďto mihnou, nebo v něm zanechají bolestnou stopu. Básně mají rovněž blízko k filosofování bez jakéhokoli nihilistického manýrismu – najdeme v nich nepřímo vyřčené otázky týkající se života, smrti či smyslu životních hodnot.

Kylian Mbappé prepísal futbalové štatistiky, keď sa mu len počas troch sezón podarilo dosiahnuť v takom mladom veku rekordné výkony.

Toto bádanie je bohaté na rozhovory a nepublikované príbehy. Odhaľuje život hráča, ktorého osobité čaro presahuje hranice zelených ihrísk. Nie je to len nadaný športovec, ale aj muž, ktorý vyčnieva z davu a priťahuje pozornosť ľudí.Doplnené o novú kapitolu z Majstrovstiev sveta vo futbale 2022.

For all that’s been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these compa­nies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions. How did the Four infiltrate our lives so completely that they’re almost impossible to avoid (or boycott)? Why does the stock market forgive them for sins that would destroy other firms? And as they race to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company, can anyone chal­lenge them? In the same irreverent style that has made him one of the world’s most celebrated business professors, Galloway deconstructs the strategies of the Four that lurk beneath their shiny veneers. He shows how they manipulate the fundamental emotional needs that have driven us since our ancestors lived in caves, at a speed and scope others can’t match. And he reveals how you can apply the lessons of their ascent to your own business or career. Whether you want to compete with them, do business with them, or simply live in the world they dominate, you need to understand the Four.

A perceptive and very personal portrait of Mallorca—Michael Poliza’s unique photographs and thoughtful selection of motifs makes this so much more than a conventional travel guideThe island’s stunning variety of landscapes are captured in a single photo bookWherever you live, no matter the season, Poliza’s photos will make you long for sunshine and the seaA fresh and unexpected view of the island&,nbsp,Rich with promise: one of teNeues’s most successful and revered artists uncovers an inimitable tourist destination for international travelers. Nature photographer Michael Poliza has already published nearly a dozen books—­including bestsellers like Africa, Eyes Over Africa, and AntArctic—and as an organizer of high-end nature adventure treks, he has a particularly keen sense for unique locations. For his latest tome, he focused on a place of legendary beauty that brims unexpected surprises: ­Mallorca. It’s no wonder that Mallorca has certain qualities in common with tapas, the island’s culinary specialty. The great thing about tapas is that you don’t have to make a meal out of just one ingredient, you can taste a bit of this and have a nibble of that and enjoy a broad spectrum of flavors. And that is the perfect way to describe the vacation mecca of Mallorca, which boasts an attractive mix of old and modern architecture, lively beaches and secluded bays, and the vibrant city of ­Palma and quaint mountain villages. On the ground or from the air, Michael Poliza paints an intimate picture of Mallorca and its most exciting locales—the salt mounds of Es&,nbsp,Trenc, Cala sa Nau, the Cap de Formentor lighthouse, and the serpentine road to Sa Calobra—and fulfills his promise magnificently.MICHAEL POLIZA is a man who is used to reinventing himself: he went from actor to entrepreneur to professional photographer to expedition leader to travel designer and head of the companies Michael Poliza Experiences and Michael Poliza Private Travel. He has received many awards for his photographs, including a 2008 Inter­national Photography Award. His book Eyes over Africa won the German Photo Book Prize. His most recent book, The World’s Most Magical Wilderness Escapes, was published by teNeues in 2015.

"UNINTIMIDATED: Wisconsin Sings Truth to Power" is the compelling true story of the Solidarity Sing Along, the longest-running singing protest in history. Since March 11, 2011, opponents of Gov. Scott Walker and his extremist tea party agenda have been gathering in the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison from noon to 1 p.m. every weekday (over 700 straight to date -- call it Moral Monday through Friday). The singing protest came on the heels of huge rallies (one of at least 150,000 people) at the Capitol after Walker "dropped the bomb" (his words in secret to his Cabinet) that dealt a cowardly death blow to 50 years of collective bargaining for public workers. What followed, and still continues, were legislative assaults by the Republican majority on women, voters, teachers, renters, the poor and the working class in general. A powerful collection of photographs interwoven with an intensely
