Volám sa Adam Harper a bol som vrah
Adam Harper, kedysi túlavý nomád, žije dnes bežným životom, ku ktorému patrí stále zamestnanie, rutinné činnosti, koníčky a priatelia, s ktorými raz za čas vyrazí za zábavou. Háčik je však v tom, že to všetko je len súčasťou toho, čo Adam nazýva maskou človeka. V skutočnosti, aj keď dokáže veľmi dobre predstierať emócie, nič necíti. Má rád hudbu, filmy, knihy, šport, a dokonca aj svoje povolanie kuchára. Nedokáže sa však emocionálne viazať na živé bytosti.
Ale to je len prvá časť tajomstva, ktorú maska človeka ukrýva.
Adam je v skutočnosti sériový vrah, a práve teraz zostávajú už len dva dni do chvíle, keď plánuje opäť zabiť.
Lenže keď v dôsledku neočakávaných zvratov zachráni život práve tej, ktorá mala byť jeho obeťou, Adamove zaužívané vzorce sa rúcajú a jeho život mení k nepoznaniu. Zisťuje napríklad, že nie je jediný, kto má tajomstvá, a taktiež, že možno nie je taký vyprahnutý, ako si vždy myslel. Do toho všetkého sa priplieta tajomná osoba z Adamovho susedstva, na ktorú z nejakého dôvodu maska človeka takmer vôbec nezaberá. Navyše je tu Claudia. Mladá žena, ktorá mala byť pôvodne jeho obeťou. Avšak teraz sa stáva osobou, s ktorou sa Adam začne zbližovať viac, než si myslel, že je pre neho možné.
A szerelem hangja
Joni Lark megvalósította az álmát: ő az egyik legkeresettebb dalszerző Los Angelesben. Jelenleg azonban alkotói válsággal küzd, a lelkét felemésztő borzalmas űrt semmi nem képes kitölteni.
Amikor visszatér szülővárosába, az észak-karolinai Vienna Shoresba, abban reménykedik, hogy a homok, a tenger és a családja által üzemeltetett zenés klub, a Revelry koncertjei meghozzák számára az ihletet. Ám otthon már semmi sem olyan, mint régen. Legjobb barátnője kerüli, édesanyja emlékei halványulnak, és a Revelryt a bezárás fenyegeti.
Hogyan is tudna egy új dal megírására összpontosítani, amikor körülötte minden szétesik, és semmit sem tehet ellene?
De aztán hirtelen valami egészen különös dolog történik. Új dallam bukkan fel a fejében a semmiből, egy szöveg nélküli töredék, és ezzel egy időben beszélni kezd hozzá egy ellenállhatatlanul csábító hang, amely egy cinikus, súlyos terheket cipelő férfihoz tartozik.
Biztosan csak a túlhajszolt képzelete játszik vele.
Csakhogy a hang tulajdonosa, a nagyon is valóságos és bosszantóan jóképű zenész egyszer csak megjelenik Vienna Shoresban. Látszatra mogorva és idegesítő, semmi köze ahhoz a kedves, megértő és humoros valakihez, akit Joni a fejében hall. Ráadásul terve is van: befejezik a dalt, ami mindkettőjüket kísérti, megszabadulnak a köztük lévő különös telepatikus kapcsolattól, és remélik, hogy közben nem teszik kockára a szívüket.
Mert a dallam, ami nem ereszti őket, talán nem véletlenül talált rájuk.
Walk
Walking isn't just a leisurely activity or a form of personal transportation. Its far-reaching benefits - not just for physical health, but for mental clarity and emotional well-being, creativity and social connection - make it a vital component of human existence, one that is as essential as breathing and sleeping.
In this book, world-renowned foot and gait specialist, Courtney Conley, and physiotherapist, Milica McDowell, transform our understanding of the importance of one of the simplest and most accessible forms of movement. Drawing on cutting-edge research, evolutionary biology and real-life stories from their practice, they show that walking is one of our most powerful and under-prescribed medicines: revealing why walking speed can predict overall health; how the risk of falls, which has a direct impact on longevity, can be measured by your foot health; and how even the shortest of walks can have profound healing effects.
Filled with practical advice, from simple tips to help with lower back pain, to customizable programs to enhance mobility and fitness, this book is an essential guide to transforming your physical - and mental - health, from the ground up.

Who is Government?
Who works for the government and why does their work matter? Michael Lewis, bestselling author of The Big Short and The Fifth Risk, along with an all-star team of writers and storytellers, takes us on a riveting journey into a hidden world'A timely reminder of the quiet dedication and skill of the people who work every day to make this country work' - Barack Obama, President Obama's 2025 Summer ReadsThe government is a vast, complex system that citizens pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favourite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they’re digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Who is Government? shows how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters.

The Solidarity Economy
The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empireAfter India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. The Solidarity Economy examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets. Between the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programs. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programs emphasized decentralization, privatization, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavor by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanizing spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state. Drawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, The Solidarity Economy reconstructs the political economy of these markets—from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee—shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism.

How to Be Stoic
An inviting new translation of essential selections from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, distilling the timeless wisdom of one of Stoicism’s most influential worksHow do you keep calm when the world seems to be falling apart around you? When Marcus Aurelius was emperor, the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and prosperity, but it also suffered flood, famine, plague, and endless wars. He was frequently away from the capitol leading his legions in battle, and he died in an army camp. To cope with the enormous pressures he faced, Marcus Aurelius turned to the philosophy of Stoicism, writing brief passages to reflect on its ideas and strategies for putting challenges in perspective. The result was the Meditations, a profound and moving work about the human condition. Elegant, spiritual, and by turns serious and humorous, this masterpiece of Stoicism still resonates powerfully today. How to Be Stoic offers a fresh, fluid, and engaging translation of its most stirring and important passages. Gretchen Reydams-Schils, a leading authority on Roman Stoicism, has carefully chosen and skillfully translated passages that exemplify the key themes of the Meditations, from everyday irritations such as encountering difficult people to existential worries such as the fear of death. How to Be Stoic also features a substantial and authoritative introduction and the original Greek text on facing pages. The result is perhaps the most accessible edition of the Meditations available.
