Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's
captivating memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth reveals
extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how
to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new
afterword. Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an
astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this
time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife,
disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily
blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft,
and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David
Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's
success - and survival - is an unconventional philosophy he learned
at NASA: prepare for the worst - and enjoy every moment of it. In
his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield
takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration
to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening,
entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the
mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses
mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in
the way of achievement - and happiness. His own extraordinary
education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons:
don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always
sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot,
pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in
zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing
insights in this book will teach you how to think like an
astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on
Earth - especially your own.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
