THE LORD OF DEATH AND THE THREE NACHIKETES OF FIRE
Fear of death? Ah, no more! Death is a big taboo. Fear of it can paralyze us so much that we stop living. To live, here and now. The Lord of Death holds the secret of death, the greatest secret of all secrets. Is it possible to meet her already during life? The Lord of Death is a story about special moments when the Gates of Heaven open, about conscious death and life after it, about possibilities in life and possibilities in death, about mythological beings, for example Ganesha, a deity with a human body and an elephant head, or Chittagupta, Jam bird-like messengers that visit the human world and bring messages from the other side of reality.

50 ABSTRACT INVENTIONS
When we think of inventions, we first think of practical inventions that we use to make our lives easier and make the world more friendly - paper for writing down good ideas, a mixer for making pancakes, a computer for preparing this description... But even more than concrete inventions, our world and our stay in it is determined and directed by abstract inventions. We use them to describe the world, try to understand it and tell others about it. When we domesticate the world with abstract inventions, we understand it much better and can also invent more and more complex concrete inventions. We dare to think!

ENDURANCE: A YEAR IN SPACE, A LIFETIME OF DISCOVERY
A veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, he experienced something that only a handful of people do. Now he takes us into a sphere where human life is virtually impossible. In the book, he describes the extreme challenges of long space flights, both the existential and perhaps completely banal devastating effects on the body, the isolation from loved ones, the pressures of constant close contact with others, and the helplessness he feels when tragedy strikes at home. A natural storyteller and modern day hero, he has a message of hope for the future that will inspire generations to come. In his personal story we see the triumph of human imagination, the power of human will and the limitless wonders of the galaxy.
