Finding Your Moral Compass
Finding Your Moral Compass places enduring Jewish values in a 21st century context, offering a thoughtful and enriching guide for those seeking ethical direction and spiritual grounding through and in Jewish tradition. In this collection of 40 essays, Rabbi John L. Rosove explores foundational Jewish values and helps readers affirm their Jewish identity while drawing connections between Jewish teachings and universal moral principles. Rosove combines classic scholarship, compassion, and personal experience in his reflections upon Judaism’s age-old moral and ethical traditions and Jewish identity as they have evolved over centuries and since the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. As a thought-leader at the forefront of social justice and liberal Israel activism in North America, Rosove draws from his personal experiences to present moral clarity and an ethical compass for liberal Jews and all who are interested in contemporary Judaism. With accessible prose and heartfelt insight, this collection of essays invites liberal Jews – and anyone interested in finding moral clarity – to consider how Jewish wisdom can serve as a compass in navigating today’s world.

KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Kade Mitchell megszállottja valakinek, akit megvet
Stacey Rhodes egy angyal bőrébe bújt kígyó, mégis ő az, akit Kade képtelen elfelejteni: a lány, aki összetörte a szívét, és az alvilág mélyének sötétjébe taszította..
Éveken át figyelte. Megölt mindenkit, aki a közelébe merészkedett. De most, amikor a számára csapdát jelentő életből egy röpke pillanatra kiszabadul, hazatér és ismét hajtja a vágy, hogy a lányt a magáénak követelje, és ezért megszeg minden szabályt, amit felállított.
Még a gyűlölet sem nyomhatja el a kettejük közötti vonzalmat.
De Kade sosem fog megbocsátani - vagy mégis?

Let Go
As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods.
If you don't throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can't throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You're tied up. Full of anxiety about the future.
That's a tough kind of life, isn't it?
This bestselling and hugely influential book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle.
We all cling to habits we learned from our parents, grandparents, friends and society and not letting them go comes at the expense of our personal freedom and overall life satisfaction.
All of the '50 Things' included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise. Every item you let go of clears space for more freedom and creative energy to flow in.
Embrace the courage to let go!
Shaolin Spirit
What do you imagine when you think of Shaolin? Ferociously strong warriors flying through the air?
Shaolin is more than just the physical expression of martial arts. Rooted in Zen and Tao philosophy, it also offers a way of reconnecting our minds with our bodies through meditative movement to cultivate the core virtues of discipline and perseverance.
In this book, Shi Heng Yi, founder of Shaolin Temple Europe and lay disciple of the Songshan Shaolin Temple, introduces us to the contemplative practice that underpins Shaolin – a way of life that has existed for over 1,500 years – and shows how it can help us today.
Having experienced the challenges of modern life as a young man, Shi Heng Yi understands the pressures only too well. Here, he highlights twelve key practices to help improve sleep, relationships and decision-making, as much as balance, flexibility and strength, offering a powerful pathway to self-mastery and understanding.
Môj rok 1971
Od augusta 1968 uplynulo dva a pol roka a kolesá normalizácie, cesty k čistej totalite, už sa krútili a naberali rýchlosť. Absolútna moc komunistov bola podtrhnutá a spočítaná na ich májovom zjazde. Nebolo to veselé. Väčšina ľudí chcela žiť a milovať sa, mať deti a pokoj od nejakých politických táranín a handrkovania. A – zabávať sa. Počúvali sme Johna Lennona a jeho Imagine, Eltona Johna a Rolling Stones, ale aj Collegium Musicum... V tomto roku František Venclovský preplával ako prvý Čechoslovák kanál La Manche, bol natočený film Orlie pierko a po troch rokoch zatvorili Divadlo na korze. Nečudo, Lasica, Satinský a spol. boli jednoducho nežiadúci... Miloš Forman, Jan Němec alebo Ivan Passer opustili krajinu. Ďalší nemohli pri filme naďalej vôbec pracovať alebo čelili permanentnej cenzúre. Ale zabávali sme sa na Dívce na koštěti, aj na Jamesovi Bondovi vo filme Diamanty sú večné. Oscara tento rok získala Francúzska spojka. Najúspešnejším československým športovcom sa stal Ondrej Nepela, futbalistom roka Karol Dobiaš a bežec Dušan Moravčík skončil na Majstrovstvách Európy druhý... Začal sa stavať obchodný dom Kotva, otvorili prvý diaľničný úsek Praha – Mirošovice a prvý cestný tunel na štátnej ceste medzi Stratenou a Dobšinskou ľadovou jaskyňou v Slovenskom raji.
Môj rok 1985
Osemdesiate roky sa lámu do svojej druhej, lepšej polovice. Na Wembley Freddie Mercury volá: EEEEOOO, na Strahove sa naposledy tlieska cvičencom. Fanúšikovia jasajú, že sa Čechoslováci stali majstrami sveta v hokeji a v Bratislave štartuje výstavba metra. Na čelo Sovietskeho zväzu sa dostáva Michail Gorbačov, Michael Jackson spieva We Are the World a kriminalisti pátrajú po spartakiádnom vrahovi. Nachádza sa Titanic! Madonna sa vydáva, Forman drží Oscara a Zlatého slávika vyhráva Peter Nagy...
HOW TO KILL A WITCH
As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and with many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.
Inspired to correct this historic injustice, campaigners and writers Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree. In order to understand why it happened, they have broken down the entire horrifying process, step-by-step, from identification of individuals, to their accusation, 'pricking', torture, confessions, execution and beyond.
With characteristically sharp wit and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the persecutors, often men, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women, and how this legally sanctioned victimisation proliferated in Scotland and around the world.
With testimony from a small army of experts, pen portraits of the women accused, trial transcripts, witness accounts and the documents that set the legal grounds for the hunts, How to Kill A Witch builds to form a rich patchwork of tragic stories, helping us comprehend the underlying reasons for this terrible injustice, and raises the serious question - could it ever happen again?
Slova
Byl to talentovaný rebel, kterého všichni chtěli. Já byla bezvýznamná šprtka, kterou všichni nenáviděli. On byl předurčený stát se hvězdou. Já jsem byla předurčena zůstat bezvýznamnou nýmandkou. Dokud mě nepřesvědčil, že jsem výjimečná... A pak mě zničil. Nikdy jsem si nemyslela, že Phoenixe ještě někdy uvidím, poté co mi zlomil srdce, ale osud měl jiné plány. Jedno turné. Osm týdnů. Nespočet příležitostí, jak mu to oplatit. Svět si myslel, že je bůh... Ale já znala pravdu.

Cipruskoporsó
Nagynénje hosszan tartó, súlyos betegségét követő halála után Elinor Carlisle hatalmas vagyont örököl. Ám lehet, hogy mindezt már nem tudja élvezni, ugyanis gyilkosság vádjával áll a bíróság előtt. Ő az egyetlen gyanúsított, mivel féltékenységéből adódóan kizárólag neki lehetett oka a fiatal és szép Mary Gerrard, Laura néni felolvasónőjének a megölésére. A vádat csak súlyosbítja, hogy nagynénje – közvetlenül a halála előtt – módosítani akarta a végrendeletét Mary javára. Az indíték egyértelmű, minden Elinor ellen szól – de akad valaki, aki váltig hisz Elinor ártatlanságában: Peter Lord, Laura néni kezelőorvosa. A doktor, hogy megmentse Elinort a már biztosnak látszó ítélettől, nem kisebb szakértőt bíz meg a védelem oldalán, mint a nagy Hercule Poirot-t.
Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”

A History of Horror, Fear, and the Uncanny
Take a step - if you dare - into the shadows, and discover the blood-curdling history of horror across the world in this gruesomely illustrated title.
A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny explores the dark and eerie landscapes of horror down the centuries - from prehistoric death rituals to modern interpretations in art, literature, and film.
In this petrifying book, you will find:
A complete global history of the subject - from ancient visions of the Underworld and horror in fairytales to Gothic horror and "creepypasta" tales
More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text
Profiles of infamous supernatural creatures - from ghosts and demons to banshees and changelings, and from Grendel to Baba Yaga and the Morrigan to the Golem
Profiles of the scariest books and films of all time - from novels by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Stephen King to movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, and Alien
…in a stunning, giftable package with a specially commissioned cover artwork and gorily printed page edges.
Discover how our experience and understanding of fear and terror have evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish Underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. And tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the danse macabre and the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
Delve into the folklore that gave birth to creatures of the night - from vampires and werewolves to the Japanese Kappa water demon and the cannibalistic Wendigo of Indigenous American lore. Witness the emergence of Gothic literature, with the terrifying and genre-defining works of authors like Mary Shelley, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James. And learn how the 20th century saw a new wave of terror unleashed through Expressionist art, monsters in the movies, "body horror" films, and the "folk horror" revival.
Whether you are a dedicated horror aficionado or simply curious, A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny isn't just for Halloween… It is a thrilling - chilling - journey into the heart of darkness.

How Korean Corn Dogs Changed My Life
An addictive, tell-all memoir about what happens when you try to make your dreams come true - as well as a love letter to Korea.
Aged twenty-one, fuelled by a love of K-dramas and a need to find herself, Alice Amelia moves to Seoul. She knows no one in her adopted country, doesn't speak the language, and hasn't tried kimchi, let alone grilled cow intestines or Korean corn dogs.
But she soon realises that real-life Seoul isn't the romanticised city she'd watched on television - and it doesn't have subtitles.
Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn't in England: adding spicy gochujang sauce to every meal, dancing in K-pop videos, dating famous models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags. But as she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised from afar, and finds a group of new friends as well as a chance at love, her life spirals in ways she never could have imagined. Wanting to stay true to herself, she wonders, will she ever belong in Korea? And what price will it cost her to stay?
