A con artist has realized there is big money in charity relief for disasters. So that is what he will produce: the biggest disaster known to man, all thanks to genetically modified corn that can release a virus so potent it can knock out an entire country. But Alex Rider will face whatever it takes: gunfire, explosions..., and hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries; to bring down his most dangerous adversary yet. It's just another day in the life of an average kid. If you're Alex Rider, that is.Več

This vivid fictional account by three-time presidential candidate and best-selling author Ralph Nader asks: What if several of America's wealthiest individuals decided it was time to work for the collective good?
The story that unfolds returns us to the literature of American social movements—to Edward Bellamy, Upton Si...nclair, John Steinbeck, and Stephen Crane. And “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!” is something else too, a reminder that real changes in America always start with the imagination.
Named by The Atlantic as one of the hundred most influential figures in American history, and by Time and Life magazines as one of the hundred most influential Americans of the twentieth century, Ralph Nader has helped us drive safer cars, eat healthier food, breathe better air, drink cleaner water, and work in safer environments for more than four decades. Nader’s books include In Pursuit of Justice, The Ralph Nader Reader, The Good Fight, and The Seventeen Traditions. He lives and works in Washington, DC, at the helm of several citizens’ action groups that he founded.

From the get-go, it was obvious that this was no ordinary comic strip. Calvin was named after the 16th-century Protestant theologian who believed in predestination, Hobbes after the philosopher a century later who once observed that life is "nasty, brutish and short." Looking for Calvin and Hobbes is an affectionate an...d revealing book about uncovering the story behind this most uncommon trio – a man, a boy and his tiger.Več

Instead of providing yet another guide to kids' nutrition, a medical discussion, a treatise on the perils of obesity, or a parenting primer on good table manners, this study demonstrates that children need to be taught how to eat well just as they are taught to walk. With detailed guidance from nutritionists, physician...s, scientists, and chefs, this handbook details how to find the right foods, how to overcome recurring problems, and emphasize the healthiest elements.Več

A real-life thriller about the most tumultuous period in America’s financial history by an acclaimed New York Times Reporter
Andrew Ross Sorkin delivers the first true behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression developed into a global tsunami. From inside ...the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea, and the corridors of Washington, Too Big to Fail is the definitive story of the most powerful men and women in finance and politics grappling with success and failure, ego and greed, and, ultimately, the fate of the world’s economy.
“We’ve got to get some foam down on the runway!” a sleepless Timothy Geithner, the then-president of the Federal Reserve of New York, would tell Henry M. Paulson, the Treasury secretary, about the catastrophic crash the world’s financial system would experience.
Through unprecedented access to the players involved, Too Big to Fail re-creates all the drama and turmoil, revealing never disclosed details and elucidating how decisions made on Wall Street over the past decade sowed the seeds of the debacle. This true story is not just a look at banks that were “too big to fail,” it is a real-life thriller with a cast of bold-faced names who themselves thought they were too big to fail.
