    Myths of the Tribe: When Religion and Ethics Diverge
    • Myths propagated by organized religion not only hamper efforts to apply reason to our problems but can even foster violent conflicts that threaten global security. Myths of the Tribe argues that the belief systems of all major religions have become a detriment to clear thinking, rational conduct, and wise public policy, suggesting we substitute a rational analysis of all problems in the light of objective scientific evidence, a system of ethics that allows complete individual liberty constrained only by the principle of harming no one else, taking personal responsibility for one's own welfare and actions, and the absence of government control over the pursuit of happiness.

This approach is designed to address changes in various fields, including economics, politics, and natural sciences, facilitating the development of new theories and promoting dialogue between conflicting ideas.

    • Bratři Richovi, známí z televizního pořadu o proměnách zahrad, přistupují k zahradní tvorbě moderně a s lehkostí – jimi vybudované zahrady vypadají, jako by je stvořila sama příroda. Proto je tato kniha o projektování a plánování zahrad tak výjimečná – ukáže vám, jak získat odstup a nadhled, vnímat krajinu a jak přenést její otisk na svůj pozemek. Pomocí náčrtků, kreseb a fotografií vysvětluje, jak důležité je při tvorbě chápat kontrast, rytmus a gradaci, jak se nechat inspirovat konkrétním místem a samozřejmě jaké vhodné květiny pro danou krajinu zvolit. Kniha je určená nejen pro ty, kteří svou zahradu teprve plánují, ale i pro ty, kteří chtějí do té své již existující přinést o trochu víc krásy a harmonie.
