Andhar Bil
In 1947, and then in 1971, in the South Asian subcontinent, entire communities of people crossed newly-created borders to find new homes as partitions divided and reshaped countries. Kalyani Thakur?s beautiful and evocative novel, tells the story of her people, Dalits belonging to the Matua sect, who settled around a local water body ? Andhar Bil ? in the new nation. Reminiscent of the beloved bil they left behind at home, the refugees begin, slowly and painfully, to rebuild their lives.As children play in and around the bil ? the central ?character? in the novel ? people seek out varieties of fish and cook them in ways that recall the flavours of home, festivals and boat races take place, jute is farmed and sold, floods arrive and push people to high ground, marriages happen and property disputes unfold. The still waters of the bil absorb and hold all these stories and the boroi tree stands in the centre of the bil, a silent witness to everything. Through this episodic, almost plotless novel is woven the story of Kamalini, a young girl who will, one day, journey to the city, leaving her beloved Andhar Bil behind, just as her parents? generation left their villages and their beloved bil in what became another country.
Ain't Nobody, Nobody
Still reeling from the scandal that cost him his badge, Randy Mayhill – fallen lawman, dog rescuer, Dr Pepper enthusiast – sees a return from community exile in the form of a dead hog trapper perched on a fence. The fence belongs to the late Van Woods, Mayhill’s best friend and the reason for his spectacular fall. Determined toprotect Van’s land and family from another scandal, Mayhill ignores the sherriff who replaced him and investigates the death of the unidentified man. His quest crosses with two others: Birdie, Van’s surly, mourning daughter, who has no intention of sitting idly by and leaving her father’s legacy in Mayhill’s hands; and Bradley, Birdie’sslow, malnourished but loyal friend, whose desperation to escape a life of poverty has him working with local criminals, and possibly a murderer. A riveting debut novel about family and loyalty, old grudges and new lives, Ain't Nobody Nobody is a cross between Faulkner and Breaking Bad, from a talented new writer with anauthentic Texas voice.

Hét halálos tövis - Éldekorált kiadás
Aragoa elátkozott királyságában a mágikus képességek büntetése halál.
Ez alól még az elit számára fenntartott Vandenberghe Akadémia tanulói sem kivételek. Amikor Viola Sinclair halálos árnymágiája lelepleződik, a királynő új küldetést ad orgyilkosának, és egy új elátkozott tetoválást: héttövisű rózsát, amelynek tövisei azt a hét napot jelölik, amely alatt végeznie kell Violával. Ha nem teszi, ő maga fog meghalni.
Az orgyilkos Roze Roquelart - királyi herceg, az akadémia beképzelt hallgatója, akit Viola mindenki másnál jobban utál. Roze-nak örvendeznie kellene, hogy végre végezhet a lánnyal, ám fontosabb neki Viola varázsereje, mint a halála. Ezért hajlandó megkímélni az életét, sőt úgy tenni, mintha eljegyezné.
Bár Viola elkerüli az azonnali halált, egyáltalán nem biztos, hogy túléli a Roze által ajánlott alkut. Együtt kell megküzdeniük az elpusztításukra törő erőkkel, feltárniuk a királyság sötét titkait, és számot vetni a köztük kialakuló, lehetetlen vonzalommal. Vajon engednek mélyről feltörő vágyaiknak, még ha ez Aragoa pusztulását és talán mindkettejük halálát is okozza?
Amber Hamilton modern, komor tündérmeséjét lehetetlen letenni.

Ale po jednom vzrušujícím setkání s okouzlující Merry po ní Trent touží víc, než toužil po ženách, s nimiž se kdy seznámil. Rozhodne se, že z ní za každou cenu udělá svoji ženu.
A Trent je muž, který vždy dostane, co chce. Merry je však zasnoubená a tentokrát přísahala, že stane před oltářem. Když se čest srazí se silnou vášní, Trent si uvědomí, že v sázce je víc, než by si kdokoli představoval...

The Law of Presidential Impeachment
A clear and comprehensive overview of presidential impeachment from a leading expert in the fieldAs a result of Donald Trump's presidency, impeachment was once again thrust into the spotlight of American political discussion. However, its history goes back to the very founding of the nation, when American colonists, remembering their grievances against their former king, entrenched the process in their new Constitution. The Law of Presidential Impeachment breaks down both the law and politics of this process, providing a comprehensive, nonpartisan, and up-to-date explanation of the Constitution's various mechanisms for holding presidents accountable for their misdeeds. Based on a lifetime of scholarly research, as well as unique experience as a witness and consultant in the impeachment trials of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Michael J. Gerhardt's new book takes the reader back to the basics of presidential impeachments. Rather than provide reasons for or against impeaching particular presidents, he explains the law and procedures that govern impeachment, examining a number of significant, yet under-explored, issues and themes. Gerhardt offers new perspectives on the subject, arguing that it cannot be properly understood in a vacuum, but must instead be viewed in the context of its coordination with such other mechanisms as criminal prosecutions, censure, elections, congressional oversight, and the Fourteenth and Twenty-Fifth Amendments. The Law of Presidential Impeachment will be an invaluable, accessible guide for future generations, giving them a succinct yet remarkably nuanced understanding of this core aspect of our executive branch and overarching governmental system.

What Emma Wrote
STARRED REVIEW "A measured, resonant biography that frames writing as civic engagement." —School Library Journal"An eye-opening look at a writer who spoke truth to power." —Kirkus Reviews"History made to feel immediate." —Judith MagazineWith its poetic message of welcome, the Statue of Liberty holds an important and beloved place in American history. In time for anniversary of our nation's founding, this biography of the woman who wrote the now-famous poem on its pedestal has deep relevance for readers today. Emma loved stories, loved writing poetry, and was curious about the world. When she met poor immigrants arriving in New York City, she knew she had to help. And when she was asked to write a poem about the Statue of Liberty, she imagined Lady Liberty as a mother, welcoming her children home. Her famous poem, “The New Colossus,” is still there on the statue’s pedestal, sharing its message of welcome with the world.

The Land Where Nothing Works
Tracing the origins of Britain’s current malaise to the abandonment of social democracyWhat has happened to Britain? As drivers on its roads can attest, it is the pothole capital of Europe. Once-beautiful towns now feature peeling paint, weeds, and broken railings. Public services are no longer fit for purpose. A malaise seems to infect every aspect of British life: its economy, polity, social order, sense of well-being, domestic regional relationships, and place in the world. In The Land Where Nothing Works, the distinguished historian A. G. Hopkins offers an explanation, tracing Britain’s current problems to decisions made in the 1980s that abandoned its postwar experiment in social democracy and mimicked policies of deregulation and privatisation promoted by the United States. In 1945, the new Labour government’s development programme aimed at creating a social democracy that would benefit all members of society. The counterrevolution launched by Margaret Thatcher’s government in 1979, which remains in force today, promoted individualism and deregulation. The transition from one programme to another was a response to the growth of finance and services centred on the City of London, and to decolonisation, which redirected trade to Europe. The expansion of credit led to the financial crisis of 2008 and the years of austerity that followed, and fuelled the populist movement that culminated in Brexit. Hopkins argues that, instead of following the free-market policies of its mentor, the United States, Britain should draw on its own history of social democracy and borrow from its neighbours in Europe, where communitarian principles continue to be upheld.
