Hearthspace
Thousands of years ago, a massive colony ship arrived at the Hearth - the celestial birthplace of millions of planets, ranging from habitable earth-like worlds to unimaginable hellscapes of pressure and heat. Using lightsails to navigate, humanity has spread itself across dozens of these worlds. But they have also forgotten their beginnings, where they came from... and a terrible secret is about to be unveiled. For Commander Ulla Breen, on her first tour of duty aboard a patrol sail-ship, the universe is about to change around her. Attacked by an unknown and unthought-of enemy, she and her fellow crewmembers will face slavery, punishment and death - and so will their home planets. Because someone else has seen the richness of the inner Hearth, and plans to take it for themselves. A new enemy, but one who seems disturbingly familiar. And perhaps knows more about the history of the Hearth than even Ulla and her crew. Faced with a complete upheaval of all she thought she knew, Ulla must survive long enough to come up with a plan - one which will unite all the disparate elements of the Hearth, and perhaps discover the reason why humanity came to Hearthspace in the first place . . .

US Liberty Ship vs German Surface Raider
Fully illustrated, this study examines World War II's most dramatic single-ship action, in which Stephen Hopkins fought a heavily armed German auxiliary cruiser, Stier. When the United States entered World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic was already raging. The so-called ‘Liberty Ships’, built at breakneck speed and in huge numbers during 1941–45, were crucial to the Allied war effort. While the greatest successes of Germany’s auxiliary cruisers occurred in 1939–41, this book describes how one of these ingenious warships, Stier, confronted the Liberty Ship Stephen Hopkins in an epic single-ship duel on September 27, 1942. Stephen Hopkins carried one 4in gun, two 37mm cannon and six machine guns, all primarily intended for antisubmarine and antiaircraft purposes. Stier had six 150mm, one 75mm, one twin 37mm, four single 20mm and four 533mm torpedo tubes. At the end of this grossly uneven fight, Stier had sunk Stephen Hopkins, but was so badly damaged it had to be scuttled. While this battle has garnered much attention, Mark Lardas explores other clashes between the German surface raiders and their Liberty Ship quarry during 1942. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and mapping alongside archive photographs, this lively study investigates the important role both ship types played as the Battle of the Atlantic reached its climax.
Talking in Bed
The essential pocket edition of this most beloved and quoted of poets. Our almost-instinct almost true:What will survive of us is love. In lines perfectly constructed and as beautiful as they are plain-spoken, Philip Larkin found a way of delineating our most difficult emotions - giving them back to us in images and formulations that help us both comprehend and contain ourselves. His is a fine-tuning that turns 'true and kind' more truthfully into 'not untrue and not unkind.' These are poems to live with and through, from the trenchant assertion of 'They fuck you up. . .', to the transcendent image-making of 'High Windows':Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:The sun-comprehending glass,And beyond it, the deep blue air, that showsNothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

Awakening the Pineal Gland
Techniques to awaken the pineal gland for health, mental clarity, and longevity• Introduces the scientifically validated method of pineal gland activation, which promotes cellular rebirth, decreases aging, and improves well-being• Explores the impact of light, sound, and nutraceuticals on pineal functioning, looking at concepts like photobiomodulation and the role of lutein in human eyes• Draws upon ancient Egyptian and Sumerian knowledge of light and the eye, including the ability to harness the healing powers of sunlightThe pineal gland, a part of the endocrine system, is less than a centimeter long. Yet this tiny organ in the brain plays an outsized role in many spiritual traditions as it is widely connected with the esoteric concept of the third eye. Ophthalmologist Roberto Pinelli explains, in an engaging personal narrative style, his unique methods for using a combination of light, sound, and nutraceuticals to non-invasively activate the pineal gland to promote cellular rejuvenation, decrease aging, and improve overall well-being. Supported by case studies and peer-reviewed research, Pinelli’s method centers on using photons to convey vibrational energy through the eyes to target areas of the body. He shows the potent effects this has on mental health as it can improve memory, mental clarity, and self-awareness. His techniques also have positive effects on the body such as helping to heal degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson’s. Pinelli explores Egyptian, Sumerian, and Aztec understandings of the sun and its life-giving rays, looking at how ancient knowledge has been corroborated by contemporary scientific findings. The author details how the pineal gland functions, particularly its role in melatonin regulation. He also offers methods to reduce pineal calcification and regenerate overall physical and emotional health. Awakening the Pineal Gland is a unique fusion of ancient and modern science that offers readers a practical guide on using light as a medicine to activate their higher nature.

Splendour
A moving tale of resistance and renewal, from the acclaimed author of Twelve Words for MossTwo friends, Kenjo and Leah, swoosh through the lush forests at the edge of their village in Kenya. Imitating hornbills and lying on the mossy boulders that line the river, the young girls are watched over by a canopy of ancient trees, whose roots reach into the past, present and future. But this glittering countryside is quickly becoming a haunting. As the armed rebellion against the British colonial regime intensifies, the forest is subsumed in a destructive conflict, disturbing the profound balance of life it nourishes and knowledge it preserves. Forced from their homes, the friends are separated by oceans and decades. Like the branches that once sheltered them, they may be twisted and buckled by violence, but they will also, somehow, endure. This tale of courage, survival and restoration captures the healing – and destructive – power of time and unearths the hidden traces it leaves behind.
Lords of the Ring
'Brilliant and electrifying... I loved every trash-talking, spandex-wearing and body-slamming page of it' Dan Schreiber, Host of 'No Such Thing As A Fish'A behind-the-scenes look at the weird and wonderful world of professional wrestling. Wrestling is at a new peak of popularity, but for years it has operated as an unregulated soap opera with controversial storylines and surprising presentations. It is a world where fact and fiction are regularly blurred, where stereotypes dominate and ruthlessness reigns supreme. But what does this eccentric phenomenon tell us about our society and culture? And why does it matte? n Lords of the Ring, Dan Higgins, makes it his mission to find out. Examining the myriad ways that our social, cultural and political landscape intersects with the sport, he explores how wrestling relates to and has shaped our ideas about gender, race, national identity and sexuality. Higgins also turns to the sport's relationship with politics - including how Donald Trump cultivated a character on the scene - shining a light on the key characters inside and outside of the ropes, as well as their unlikely, unusual and sometimes dark stories.
Hatalom és dicsőség
A labdarúgó-világbajnokság a Föld legnézettebb sporteseménye. Egy globális őrület, amely mindenkit beszippant: a 2022-es tornára 211 nemzet nevezett. Bár közel egy évszázada íródik a története, eddig nem született róla átfogó krónika. Ez a könyv – friss interjúkkal és lebilincselő riportokkal – most ezen változtat. 1930-ra a futball kinőtte az olimpiát. A FIFA új, profikat is fogadó tornája új szintre emelte a nemzetközi focit. Az uruguayi kezdetek még kaotikusak voltak: félkész stadion, csapnivaló bíráskodás és egy gyúró, aki véletlenül leütötte a saját játékosát – a döntőben aztán Uruguay 4–2-re verte Argentínát. Ebből a zűrzavarból nőtt ki a modern világbajnokság, egy olyan kulturális jelenség, amely semmi máshoz nem fogható módon hozza össze a világot. Kérdezzünk meg bárkit az utcán Szenegálról: jó eséllyel Papa Bouba Diop 2002-es gólját említi majd, amit a franciák ellen lőtt, amivel nemcsak a címvédő, hanem az egykori gyarmattartó felett is szimbolikus diadalt arattak. A vb-knek politikai súlyuk is van. Nyugat-Németország 1954-es sikere a világba való visszatérést jelentette; Horvátország 1998-as elődöntője pedig a nemzeti öntudatuknak adott hatalmas lökést. De a foci kiszámíthatatlan: az 1969-es „futballháborúban” egy vb-selejtező robbantotta ki a feszültséget Salvador és Honduras között. Napjainkban pedig a kormányok már a rendezéssel igyekeznek politikai tőkét kovácsolni: Oroszország és Katar világbajnoksága a „sportswashing” (sportpolitikai tisztára mosás) ékes példája volt. Jonathan Wilson nemcsak a meccseket, gólokat és botrányokat kelti életre, hanem a pályázatok körüli alkudozások és visszaélések kulisszatitkait is feltárja. Mert a világbajnokságok története egyben a világ története is. A könyv pedig mindezek teljes krónikája. Jonathan Wilson a The Guardian és a World Soccer állandó publicistája, valamint a The Blizzard alapító-főszerkesztője. Társműsorvezetője az It Was What It Was futballtörténeti podcastnak és egyike a Libero podcast hét állandó szakértőjének. Tizenhárom könyv szerzője, köztük olyan műveké – amelyek egy része Magyarországon is megjelent –, mint: ? Futballforradalmak ? A magyar futball aranykora ? A Barcelona-örökség ? Az argentin foci – Argentína futballtörténete a kezdetektől Messiig ? A Liverpool története 10 meccsben ? Kívülállók – A focikapusok története

All Hallow's Eve Oracle
A vibrant book and card deck set that weaves the myth and magic of All Hallow’s Eve with the healing energy of light language. The All Hallow’s Eve Oracle is a grimoire-like journey into the mysteries of the sacred feminine, illuminated by our own light essence. It invites practitioners to shift perspectives, challenge narratives, rewrite stories, and reconnect with their inner voice—reinterpreting symbolism for themselves. This dynamic book and deck collection features legends and myths that expand our perceptions, traversing into the liminal and light language that guides us beyond the linear mind into deep intuitive connection. Magical elements weave lyrical dreaming through vivid symbolism, flowering into an ultra-sensory flow with light language, bridging to the limitless creative potentials of our multidimensionality. Designed as a grimoire, the guidebook weaves myths with enchantment, each entry reading like a spell. The full-color cards, layered with symbolism, bypass the analytical mind to awaken deep wisdom. Together, they bridge ancient customs with galactic spirituality, encouraging receptivity, fluidity, and intuitive remembrance. Words Have Magic: the poetry for each card can be cast as a spell to draw the reader deeper into the cards they represent, whether an animal spirit guide, a divination tool, or an elemental omen, allowing the reader to form a personal relationship with each of the cards and what they representCreative Concept: this deck is a synthesis of ancient mythology across different cultures and ages and the galactic myths we are now discovering as we remember more of our connection to the cosmosLight Language: Each card comes with its own channeled light language, a quantum link to the language of the stars. Light language is a nonlinear expression, which allows us to bypass the limits of the monkey chatter of our mental confines and tap into our more intuitive (sacred femininity) and multisensory connection to the wider universe
