PREDSTAVTE SI SVET, V KTOROM… ... vlastníte telefón, ktorý je priveľký do vašej ruky ... vám lekár predpisuje lieky, ktoré pre vás vôbec nie sú vhodné ... sa pri autonehode zraníte o 47 % častejšie AK VÁM TO NIEČO HOVORÍ, JE VEĽMI PRAVDEPODOBNÉ, ŽE STE ŽENA. A čo keby vaša matka dostala infarkt? Pravdepodobne by ste to zistili tak, že by ju pichalo pri srdci a pociťovala by bolesť v ľavej ruke... Ibaže by to tak vôbec nebolo. Prejavy infarktov a srdcových ochorení u žien sú totiž úplne iné: bolesť brucha, vyčerpanie, únava, bolesť hlavy, napínanie na zvracanie. A práve preto zostáva približne 45 % srdcových záchvatov u žien neodhalených. Caroline Criado Perez vo svojej knihe Neviditeľné ženy mapuje, ako sú v súčasnosti potreby žien v spoločnosti rôznymi spôsobmi opomínané. Opiera sa pritom o širokú škálu prípadových štúdií, príbehov a výskumov naprieč celým svetom. Táto kniha vám otvorí oči a úplne zmení váš doterajší pohľad na svet. Zároveň otvára skryté možnosti architektom, dizajnérom, urbanistom, lekárom, politikom... ktorí môžu začať „dizajnovať“ náš svet úplne novým spôsobom, kde ženy a ich potreby budú oveľa viac videné a zohľadňované. Kniha Neviditeľné ženy získala ocenenie Royal Society Science Book a FT Business Book of The Year. Práva boli predané do dvadsiatich troch krajín.

'A cracking storyteller, who can create fascinating characters, a twisty plot and wonderful surprise endings' ANN CLEEVES 'One of the most interesting detectives in crime fiction' THE TIMES There is more to solving a crime than following the clues. Welcome to Chief Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings. The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues to a place called Three Pines. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of the village - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force. But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets... Millions of readers worldwide. One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.

Fact and fiction blend in a historical novel that chronicles the relationship between seminal architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney, from their meeting, when they were each married to another, to the clandestine affair that shocked Chicago society.

Love, Nina meets Black Books: a wry and hilarious account of life in Scotland's biggest second-hand bookshop and the band of eccentrics and book-obsessives who work there 'The Diary Of A Bookseller is warm (unlike Bythell's freezing-cold shop) and funny, and deserves to become one of those bestsellers that irritate him so much.' (Mail on Sunday) 'Utterly compelling and Bythell has a Bennett-like eye for the amusing eccentricities of ordinary people ... I urge you to buy this book and please, even at the risk of being insulted or moaned at, buy it from a real live bookseller.' (Charlotte Heathcote Sunday Express)Shaun Bythell owns The Bookshop, Wigtown - Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop. It contains 100,000 books, spread over a mile of shelving, with twisting corridors and roaring fires, and all set in a beautiful, rural town by the edge of the sea. A book-lover's paradise? Well, almost ... In these wry and hilarious diaries, Shaun provides an inside look at the trials and tribulations of life in the book trade, from struggles with eccentric customers to wrangles with his own staff, who include the ski-suit-wearing, bin-foraging Nicky. He takes us with him on buying trips to old estates and auction houses, recommends books (both lost classics and new discoveries), introduces us to the thrill of the unexpected find, and evokes the rhythms and charms of small-town life, always with a sharp and sympathetic eye.

The Bonfire of the Vanities for 2010! A powerful, deeply involving novel of the modern world - a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace.
