Is flying dangerous? How much do the world's cows weigh ? And what makes people happy ? From Earth's nations and inhabitants, through the fuels and foods that energize them, to the transportation and inventions of our modern world - and how all of this affects the planet itself - in Numbers Don't Lie, Professor Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge lazy thinking. Smil is on a mission to make facts matter, because after all, numbers may not lie, but which truth do they convey ?

Paula Hawkins opäť majstrovsky rozohráva napínavý príbeh o klamstve a pomste a vťahuje čitateľov do deja s rovnakou energiou ako v bestselleroch Dievča vo vlaku a Do vody. Tri ženy a jedna brutálna vražda. Telo zavraždeného mladého muža na obytnom člne v Londýne vyvoláva mnohé otázky. Laura strávila s mladíkom iba jednu noc, no po boku obete ju videli poslednú. Zvedavá suseda Miriam z vlastnej skúsenosti vie, ako ľahko sa človek ocitne v nesprávnom čase na nesprávnom mieste a že krv na šatách nutne neusvedčuje vraha. Carla ešte vždy oplakáva smrť jedného člena rodiny, keď sa dozvie o vražde druhého – svojho synovca. Všetky tri ženy v sebe z rozličných dôvodov dusia pocit trpkosti za krivdy, ktoré ich postretli v minulosti, a hoci si to neuvedomujú, túžia ich napraviť.

Victor Man (*1974 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania) is one of the most interesting representatives of the contemporary art scene. While his oeuvre is charged with personal memories, magic meaning, and references to art history, the origins of his motifs do not play a role. Man, who lives in Berlin and Cluj, draws on various sources to create a surprisingly contemporary and yet visionary art. Its power derives from its defiance of logical interpretation. In a global culture in which everything is explained and made visible, this noncompliance opens up individual artistic freedom.With its annual Artist of the Year award, the Deutsche Bank honors promising international artists who, in individual ways, have already created an independent, outstanding oeuvre that also includes works on paper and photography.
