Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum
A Spectrum of Kryptonite And the Fractured Truth Within. Superman faces his own worst weakness in a story where Kryptonite reveals more than just physical pain. From the acclaimed creative team behind Ice Cream Man, this DC Black Label event bends genre, tone, and form as Superman is exposed to not only green, red, and black Kryptonite but new and never-before-seen forms like Purple, Cobalt, and Speckled. Each of the five issues serves as a boundary-pushing meditation on power, identity, and trauma. With Batman at his side and Earth at stake, Superman must confront how the shards of his broken homeworld reveal fault lines in his soul. Includes Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #1 5.
Pomona's Orchard
Pomona’s Orchard, Adrian Blamires’ third collection, is dedicated to the arts of peace. Its tutelary spirits include Caliban tending to the dying Prospero, a great-aunt rescuing cats and dogs in the Blitz, the enlightened schoolmaster to an orphaned John Keats, and Pomona, Roman goddess of fruitful propagation, as the genius loci of a Herefordshire orchard. Miracles of love and healing are conjured in the face of violence and rapacity. Lament and dissent are sounded, alongside poems of witty, sensual profusion. The collection closes with a Tudor-themed sequence which presents pressing encounters – highly politicized, highly eroticized – between the Virgin Queen and her subjects. Drawing on Elizabethan lyric, symbolism, realia and innuendo, the poet offers a tragicomic vision of queen and country, a resonant blend of history and myth.
Wildly different
The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the ‘wild’ was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth’s wild places. We’ll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men’s climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain’s first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai’s daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women’s adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ‘wildly different’. -- .

Láska a intimita
Český sexuální život pod lupou Mění se společnost, kultura i média — a s nimi i sexualita a sexuální chování. Jak dnes vypadá partnerský a sexuální život v Česku? Kolik partnerů průměrně vystřídáme v posteli? V jakých polohách? Sledujeme často porno? Máme orgasmus? Kniha Láska a intimita prezentuje a interpretuje výsledky stejnojmenného reprezentativního průzkumu Národního ústavu duševního zdraví a mapuje u českých obyvatel klíčové momenty jejich sexuálního vývoje, životní historii v oblasti lásky a intimity, nepříznivé zážitky i zkušenosti s rozkoší. Podrobně rovněž analyzuje používané sexuálních polohy a praktiky, parafilie či trendy v seznamování a navazování vztahů. Láska a intimita tak přináší nové poznání o české společnosti v oblasti, v níž kvůli studu, mýtům, ale i nedostatkům dat panuje pořád ještě zmatek a předsudky.
Advokáti mrtvých
Mrtví nemluví. Ale někdo za ně mluvit musí.
Jednadvacet rozhovorů s českými, moravskými a slovenskými soudními lékaři a lékařkami otevírá dveře do světa, který většina z nás zná jen z televizních seriálů – a přesto si o něm uchovává překvapivě zkreslené představy. Soudní lékařství totiž není totéž co patologie, ačkoli je s ní dodnes mylně zaměňováno či směšováno.
Kniha Advokáti mrtvých zachycuje myšlenky, vzpomínky, zkušenosti a názory generace odborníků, kteří svůj profesní život zasvětili hledání pravdy tam, kde už oběť nemůže promluvit sama. Jejich osobní svědectví – pořízená metodou orální historie, moderním směrem v současné historiografii – nejsou jen fascinujícím čtením, ale i cenným pramenem poznání nedávné minulosti oboru i celé společnosti. Právě tento přístup podtrhuje význam osobního sdělení a rehabilituje roli subjektivního svědectví jako plnoprávného zdroje historického poznání.
Druhé vydání se vrací ke čtenářům s vědomím, že příběhy zaznamenané v této knize jsou o to naléhavější, čím více času od nich uplynulo. Některé z hlasů, které zde zaznívají, už dnes nelze slyšet nikde jinde.
Rozhovorům předcházejí odborné studie představující soudní lékařství i metodu orální historie a shrnující postup pořizování a úpravy rozhovorů. Knihu doplňuje biografický slovník, jmenný rejstřík, obrazová příloha a poznámkový aparát.
Soudní lékařství je dnes lékařsko-právní obor se širokým dopadem nejen zdravotnickým, ale i společenským. Tato kniha proto není čtením jen pro odborníky – ale pro každého, koho zajímá, jak se z mlčení mrtvých rodí spravedlnost.
Of Love & Dragons
Dragons may be fierce but they are symbols of great power, and the bond between human and dragon, once forged, can never be broken. Or can it? Can romance deal a deathly trail of vows abandoned, or forgotten, and can realms beyond our time conjure tales of Dragon Lords, warrior princesses and great rivalries?
Modern writers have sought to explore these questions and more, in a new anthology of enchanting romantic fantasy fiction. Strong-willed, independent leads navigate epic fantasy worlds and emotionally charged quests, featuring lyrical romance, and of course, majestic dragons.
A Breath of Time

Innen az egész világot látni
Deetje legszívesebben minden kalandban részt venne, mindenkivel szóba áll a környéken, göndör barna haja mindig kócos. Az anyukája fiatal, csendes, szereti, ha időben vacsoráznak, és rendben kész van a másnapi házi feladat.
Deetje nem érti, hogy lehetnek ennyire különbözőek. Amikor egy nap talál egy keskeny kék borítékot, amin elmosódott a címzett és a feladó neve, nyomozásba kezd Vitóval, a legjobb barátjával, hogy kiderítse, kinek szól a titokzatos levél. Fokról fokra meg-ismeri a szegényes toronyházuk lakóinak múltját, míg végül a saját anyukája is mesélni kezd...

Georgics
''A countryman cleaves earth with his crooked plough. Such is the labourof his life. So he sustains his native land ...''Virgil''s affectionate poem of the land does not admit brief excerpts, any more than the labour of the farmer can easily be shortened. His verse, descriptive and narrative, brings us the disappointments as well as the rewards of the countryman''s year-round devotion to his crops, his vines and olives, livestock great and small, and the complex society of bees. Part agricultural manual, part political poem and allegory, the Georgics'' scenes are real and vivid, and the poet-farmer Peter Fallon makes us feel the sights, sounds, and textures of the ancient Italian landscape.''the combination of truth to the words Virgil wrote, natural vernacular speech and a general at-homeness on the land make Fallon''s an inspired translation'' Seamus Heaney, Irish Times''magnificent new translation...Fallon is the perfect translator for the Georgics'' Bernard O''Donoghue, Times Literary Supplement ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
The Scoop
ONE NEEDS A STORY. THE OTHER IS THE STORY. THE FALLOUT COULD RUIN THEM BOTH. No story sells faster than a celebrity's downfall. . . Washed-up journalist Frankie Miller is desperate. Since losing her dream job at a glossy magazine, she's been drowning in rejection letters and overdue bills while eating cereal for dinner. So, when she's offered a role at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor David Brown, she can't afford to say no - even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, it's just a temporary means to an end. Nothing more. But the deeper Frankie dives into the cutthroat world of clickbait, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes. And when she breaks a story that humiliates a beloved pop star, the fallout is more explosive than she ever imagined - for both of them. In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go - and how much is she willing to lose - to win at this ruthless game? Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop pulls back the curtain on tabloid culture and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle, perfect for fans of Yellowface, The List and Succession. PRAISE FOR THE SCOOP:'A timely, commanding, blistering debut, this one's sure to leave a lasting mark' ASHLEY TATE'Quickly becomes tough to look away from' NATALIE SUE'Smart and savage...a devastating satire' RUTH MADIEVSKY'Snappy, fun, and set in the always-fascinating world of New York media.
