It was a night to remember. Ryan Holding, the most famous pop star in the world, won every music award imaginable at the industry’s highest event. She exited the stage to thunderous applause…then disappeared off the face of the earth. Six years later, her social media accounts remain untouched. Her band has broken up. Her Malibu estate sits quiet. And billions of obsessed fans still ask: Whatever happened to Ryan Holdin? mid theories, suspicions, and rumors, reporter Elyse James wants the truth about the girl who poured her heart into every song she wrote. As Elyse searches through the stories of Ryan’s life, from those willing to talk—her best friend, a childhood teacher, and Ryan’s first love among them—a portrait of a flesh-and-blood icon begins to emerge. So do clues to a mystery that has captivated the world. Did Ryan disappear to find herself? Or did someone deliberately make Ryan disappear? The answers are the stuff of legend.
Széthullás
Maggie Webb az elmúlt tíz évet idős férje, Stanley ápolásával töltötte, miközben a férfi memóriavesztése lassan elmosta közös múltjuk minden szép pillanatát. Maggie soha nem érezte még magát ennyire egyedül.
Egy nap egy titokzatos férfi, Hassan jelenik meg az ajtajában, és felkavaró igazsággal áll elő: Stanley nem elfelejti az emlékeit, hanem valaki szándékosan törli ki őket, hogy eltüntessen egy rég eltemetett titkot. Ha Maggie hajlandó együttműködni, visszafordíthatja a folyamatot. Visszakaphatja a férjét.
Hassan és forradalmi technológiája segítségével Maggie belép Stanley elméjébe, és egyre mélyebbre hatol emlékeinek szövevényes rétegeibe. Ahogy halad előre, kontinenseken és évszázadokon átívelő összeesküvés képe bontakozik ki előtte – minden újabb emlékkép összetettebb, mint az előző.
Csakhogy Hassan nem az, akinek mondja magát, és idővel már nemcsak emlékek tűnnek el, hanem a valóság darabjai is.
Ha Maggie nem fejti meg, mit tett Stanley évekkel ezelőtt, és mit akar valójában Hassan, nemcsak a férje életét kockáztatja, hanem az egész emberiség jövőjét.
Nicholas Binge új regénye lélegzetelállítóan szédítő thriller egy nőről, aki mindennél tovább hajlandó elmenni, hogy visszakapja a férjét.

Arielle-lel egész napokat töltött a homokos parton fekve, a korallzátonyoknál búvárkodva, vagy épp a fenséges rájákat lesve. Egy nap azonban a kincsekkel teli óceán pusztító haragra gerjedt – Arielle a 2004-es cunami áldozata lett. Főhősünkben csak a hurrikán nyomasztó hírére tudatosul, hogy máig nem dolgozta fel barátnője halálát.

The Noma Guide to Building Flavour
Finally, the secret sauce of Noma is revealed-the long-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling The Noma Guide to Fermentation offers more than 150 recipes for infused oils, vinaigrettes, fudges, spice mixes, rubs, sauces, and other flavour-boosting condiments that professional and home cooks can use to elevate every part of their cooking.
The Noma Guide to Flavor is a cookbook offering recipes for 150 significant seasonings, condiments, sauces, and other flavour compounds developed over two decades by Rene Redzepi and the Noma test kitchen. These are the components that define the inimitable taste of Noma, including iconic preparations such as roasted kelp salt, smoked egg yolk sauce, Nordic pesto, and lacto-koji beurre blanc. Most of the recipes are illustrated with step-by-step photo sequences detailing the techniques needed to transform surprisingly familiar ingredients into elements of Noma's distinctive cuisine. Noma uses these recipes to create elevated preparations for the restaurant (a selection of gorgeous plated-dish photos are included), but readers-whether professionals or avid home cooks-will find plenty of inspiration for their own kitchens, aided by do-able suggestions from Noma chefs.
In conversational essays and anecdotes woven throughout the book, Redzepi shares how staff members from around the globe have influenced Noma's flavour palette, and how Noma chefs take pristine seasonal ingredients and blend, grind, dry, smoke, macerate, reduce and otherwise elicit the most potent and desirable flavours that make up the sensory language of Noma. Between the narrative portions and the meticulous recipes, readers will become equipped to create their own Noma-inspired meals.
Blahodárná setkání nad záhadami duše
Neurolog Pavel Kalvach otevírá čtenářům fascinující svět neurovědního poznání - od záhad mozku a nervového systému až k hlubinám lidské duše. S pokorou i nadšením sdílí úvahy nad nejsložitějšími otázkami naší existence: vědomím, bolestí, pamětí, řečí, utrpením.

Prostřednictvím setkání s kolegy z neurovědních oborů na konferencích po celém světě - od Alexandrie přes Kapské Město až po Šanghaj - autor zachycuje intelektuální jiskření, které ho provázelo na profesní i lidské cestě. Je to osobní svědectví o privilegiu poznávat nejkomplexnější výdobytky přírody a zároveň pokorné přiznání vlastních limitů. Inspirativní čtení pro každého, kdo se zajímá o tajemství lidského mozku, ale i o smysl lékařského povolání.
Bohové jste vy
Spisovatel a doktor práv Bohumil Hrabal prošel řadou profesí: byl skladníkem, výpravčím, pojišťovacím agentem, dělníkem v hutích, baličem starého papíru. Myšlení autora spojovaného s živelným vypravěčstvím a hospodskou historkou mělo ovšem i duchovní rozměr. To, co pozorní čtenáři dosud jen tušili, potvrdil nedávný nález nahrávek Hrabalových adventních promluv na faře v Libici nad Cidlinou. Už jako sedmdesátník v nich Hrabal nejen odhaluje vzácnou citlivost k posvátnému rozměru života, ale vykládá své odmítnutí právnické kariéry a příklon k lidem na dně jako svou cestu „malého krista“.
Pavel Hošek je profesorem religionistiky na Evangelické teologické fakultě UK. Soustavně se věnuje duchovnímu rozměru krásné literatury, mj. v díle Jaroslava Foglara, E. T. Setona, J. R. R. Tolkiena či C. S. Lewise.
Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga
This book repositions the aerial hammock as a supportive, sensory tool to allow more people with diverse needs to experience the physical benefits of yoga and focus the mind.Finding safety in our bodies is a central theme in yoga practice but a traditional class environment does not always meet the needs of people with mobility or mental health challenges. This inclusive and innovative guide addresses this challenge and explains the accessibility of aerial yoga, whilst honouring yoga''s history and South Asian roots. With trauma-informed and mental health aware language used throughout, this book is informed by the latest research on the therapeutic applications of this practice. It also includes lived experience testimonials which highlight the variety of people it can benefit, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence.Professionals will benefit from over 250 photographs of yoga postures shared in a systematic structure designed to help them adapt the resource to their own needs and mixed groups. It explains how postures can be adapted for larger bodies, older adults, pregnancy and conditions such as EDS, and is supplemented with additional guidance on hammock installation and how to sequence postures together.
The Unspeakable Vice
As gay men and lesbian women increasingly gained recognition and acceptance in twentieth-century literature and film, and subsequently in social and political movements, the Catholic Church reacted by subtly moving away from its overt condemnation of homosexuality as an urgent moral problem and toward tacitly shunning homosexuality as an “unspeakable vice.” In this revealing history, Francesco Torchiani reconstructs the Catholic Church’s shifting attitudes toward homosexuality during this period by drawing on a vast array of internal documents and external accounts. This monograph expands the scholarship on the relationship between Catholicism and homosexuality in terms of both method and content, ultimately concluding that the Catholic Church continues to wholeheartedly condemn homosexuality despite making genuine efforts to reflect on and understand its social and cultural impact. The Unspeakable Vice therefore sheds new light on and places into historical perspective the questions the Catholic Church continues to reckon with regarding its role in contemporary society.
Maintain
Reaching your goal weight isn’t the finish line—it’s where the real journey begins. New York Times best-selling author Susan Peirce Thompson, brain and cognitive scientist and founder of Bright Line Eating, teaches you the three identity shifts that will finally keep the weight off for good. Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren't the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight—and keeping it off—so difficult? Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself:· You are DEVOTED. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully. · You are RESOURCED. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food. · You are LIBERATED. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body—and life—you trust. It's time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn't magic—it's a mindset.

Pinen
A fierce, tender collection of stories about the lives, traumas, and dreams of Mapuche youth in modern-day Chile.Jesús, Valeska, Yajaira, and Ale are some of the vivid characters that inhabit the stories told in Pinen , a book that casts an unflinching gaze on the stark margins of urban life. Within its pages unfold the bullet-ridden death of a big shot from the blocks; the fraught, often violated sexuality of women in a displaced community; the unwavering bond between two friends navigating the waria ; the toxicity that seeps through youth and the distances that inevitably come with growing up; and, finally, a fierce declaration of love to the clandestine spirit of a brother. These are young lives that drift through the many peripheries of the city carrying a hope as immense as the injustice that defines their days.The stories that make up Pinen invite the reader into an intimate, often overlooked space – those small, enclosed rooms where the everyday tragedies of the many silently unfold. With brutal realism and lyrical restraint, Daniela Catrileo renders these acts of courage and violence with masterful precision, granting voice and presence to those rarely seen in literature.

The Good Pornographer
Walace Weiss, a famous fantasy novelist struggling with drug addiction, sets himself on a twofold quest: to finish his first book in more than a decade and, like the immortal elves of his stories, to try to remember what, in his long life, he should not have forgotten. While many have come to view Walace as a bad influence on children, literature, and himself, his impact sweeps across worlds both fantastic and real, leading to his establishing a new kingdom in his neglected McMansion, Summerheim. The result is a mock-epic in rehabilitation, starring such friends and enemies as Cal, Walace’s dealer and private jester; Dragon, a porn star turned guidance counselor; Epiphany, a lunch lady and stripper in recovery; her son, Tuffy, planning everyone’s funerals at age nine; Jackal, newly sober and in touch with his emotions for the first time; and Wolf, Walace’s socially withdrawn twin brother and reluctant doppelgÄnger. Brian Bouldrey piles on the laughs and absurdity alongside dollops of humanity. With brilliant recklessness, he praises and pokes fun at genres, conventions, fandoms, and critics, offering a Deadpool-like exploration of an upside-down world filled with epic quests, epic mistakes, and epic characters.
