Odds and Ends
In this charming translated work from Finland, an imaginative child makes a scrapbook of "lasts" instead of "firsts," inviting readers to reflect on what they hold onto and save. Some people collect pens, shells, or stamps. Others collect friends, trips, or world records. This picture book shares one girl’s unusual collection: a collection of lasts. With a feel for the poignant, the bittersweet, and the odd, an observant, emotionally astute child shares the whimsical, eccentric, and touching lasts she has collected, from the last day cold enough for a wool cap, to the last anxious breath before a high dive, to the last person in her class to lose a tooth, to the last piece of chocolate, to the last words of a whole life. Beautifully illustrated in pencil and watercolor, this is an exploration of lasts that might set something new in motion—or might bring finality. There are feelings of fear, sadness, contentment, longing, and happiness here, making for a wistful picture book in which a young girl’s collection of last moments is depicted with a warm touch. Odds and Ends is a collection of memories which invites open discussion of each reader’s personal lasts.

The Sanctuaries and Cults of Demeter in Asia Minor and the Islands off Its Western Coast
At least twenty-two sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in Asia Minor and the islands off the western coast are attested by archaeological evidence. More than 272 epigraphic sources, nearly all of which are translated and discussed in this study, further document the cults of both goddesses in these regions. This monograph is the first study to draw on such a substantial body of material in order to demonstrate the cultic connections between cities in the Greek East and other parts of the Greek world. The archaeological and written sources provide insight into both regional and Pan-Hellenic features of the sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore, including their architectural layouts, the iconography of votive offerings, festivals, rituals, and the development of these practices over time. In assessing these regional and Pan-Hellenic characteristics, the analysis draws on the full range of archaeological and written evidence from across the Greek world. The available evidence indicates that the cults and sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in the Greek East largely retained Greek characteristics; however, in certain regions, such as Caria, their cults were partially shaped by indigenous religious traditions. Despite Greek and later Roman hegemony, the cult of Demeter in other parts of Asia Minor, beyond western Asia Minor, was unable to supplant the cult of Cybele and other local chthonic fertility deities.
No Name Bastard
Our most vivid memories can be our greatest teachers. There are moments that fade from our thoughts just as quickly as they occurred, and there are others that stay with us forever. These lasting memories are woven into the fabric of our being, etched into our DNA, and rooted so firmly in our minds that we can still sense every detail. Those experiences are where our characters and defining qualities are built and earned. However, if those experiences are challenging, it’s easy to get stuck in the struggle and become a victim to your past. Our histories are important, but the futures we create from them are immensely more crucial. So, how do we learn enough from our pasts to keep moving forward? How do we reflect on our lives in way that’s constructive, rather than restrainin? n her debut book, No Name Bastard, Tori DaCosta helps you to do just that. She vividly recounts a collection of her most unforgettable moments and the lessons she learned from them. DaCosta calls you to learn not just from her life, but from your own as well. The result is a vulnerable and inspiring text that will teach how to embrace life’s challenges and use them to become the best version of yourself.

What Artists Do
This book explains why Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) is an influential art education movement, addresses misconceptions about TAB, and shares real-life examples from practicing teachers. With a diverse range of examples from teachers and school districts who use the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) approach, What Artists Do provides a strong argument for the place of TAB in today’s K–12 visual arts education landscape. After beginning in the 1970s as a grassroots movement, TAB’s growth has been fueled by passionate teachers sharing ideas through social media, conferences, workshops, and professional development events.

With chapters tailored for a wide audience—including experienced and new art teachers, administrators, and teacher educators—this book serves as a practical resource for understanding and implementing TAB in art rooms everywhere. Book Features:Includes over 40 full-color images of student artwork, classroom resources, and art teachers practicing in their studiosOffers ideas and guidance for using a choice-based approach to visual arts education that values student agency, classroom community, and artistic process and thinking.

Addresses the growth of this approach over the past 50 years, as well as TAB's place in the historical evolution of art education.
Vnitřní čas člověka
Autor provede čtenáře vědeckými poznatky o biologických hodinách člověka. S využitím vlastních studií i poznatků mezinárodní komunity vědců zabývajících se spánkem a biologů studujících cirkadiánní rytmy, ilustruje vliv denní doby na naše zdraví: jak nám večerní procházky zajistí lepší spánek, jak jídlo po západu slunce ovlivňuje naši hmotnost i jaké účinky má na náš život doba užívání léků.
V moderní době jsme zanedbali zásadní součást naší biologie. Stále častěji přesouváme rutinní činnosti do nočních hodin a věnujeme se práci, cvičení a společenskému životu dlouho po setmění. Zapomněli jsme, že se naše těla se řídí 24 hodinovými biologickými hodinami, které nás vedou k nejlepšímu času na spaní, jídlo a pití. Nové vědecké poznatky dokázaly, že život mimo synchronizaci s těmito biologickými hodinami nejen narušuje spánek, ale činí nás i zranitelnějšími vůči infekcím, obezitě, cukrovce 2. typu, srdečním chorobám, rakovině a duševním onemocněním.
1966
'The great book on 1966 that needed writing.'PAUL HAYWARD, OBSERVER'Panoramic and polemic.'JONATHAN NORTHCROFT, SUNDAY TIMES-A vivid portrait of the world in 1966, centred around the storied World Cup tournament and its backdrop, published to mark the 60th anniversary. 1966, with London declared ‘a swinging city’ and John Lennon proclaiming the Beatles ‘more popular than Jesus’, the year’s football World Cup convenes an international community standing at an inflection point, emerging from the long shadow of the Second World War and hurtling towards the future. Propelled by social change, civil rights movements and technological advancement serve as beacons of hope and possibility.Yet, Cold War tensions, the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the space race between America and the Soviet Union project a different image. As China’s Cultural Revolution begins, and talks are initiated to reunify Germany, football has the potential to inflame ideological rivalries, unite old enemies, and allow nations to demonstrate their prowess on a global stage. Through the prism of the extraordinary tournament and the eight teams that reached the quarter finals – England, West Germany, Uruguay, Argentina, Portugal, Soviet Union, North Korea and Hungary – Michael Calvin provides a vivid portrait of a critical moment in world history.Examining the sporting, social and cultural significance of the competition and its backdrop, this hugely entertaining book brings to life a world and a sport caught in a tide of change, and shows how this critical year would change both forever. -'England’s one World Cup victory needed this book. An absorbing account of what 1966 actually meant...by the writer who has covered more aspects of how the English game actually works than any other.'MIGUEL DELANEY, INDEPENDENT'A tremendous accomplishment. Rich, compelling and highly readable.'SEB STAFFORD-BLOOR, THE ATHLETIC

A Villa Amore titkai
Légy részese az év legfényűzőbb esküvőjének! Az Amalfi-tengerpart aranyló fényei között, a fényűző Villa Amoréban hamarosan sor kerül az év legpazarabb esküvőjére – az egyetlen gond, hogy a résztvevők közül többen életre szóló titkokat rejtegetnek… Carina gyerekkori szerelméhez, Giorgióhoz készül feleségül menni, és biztos benne, hogy végre révbe ér. A vőlegény első pillantásra tökéletes választásnak tűnik, de kérdés, hogy valóban az a romantikus hős-e, akinek Carina látja…
A koszorúslány, a színésznő Edie a forgatási szüneteket kihasználva repül haza, hogy élete nagy napján a legjobb barátnője mellett legyen. Az öröme azonban nem felhőtlen, mert olyasmit tud, ami Carina egész életét tönkreteheti. Hűség, bűntudat, önámítás és vágy. Ez a regény olyan, mint a nyár az olasz tengerparton: napfényes, szikrázó, és úgy sodor magával, mint a tengeri áramlat. Carol Kirkwood a BBC képernyőjéről ismert médiaszemélyiség, hat nagy sikerű romantikus regény szerzője. A regényírásba viszonylag későn, de tudatosan vágott bele: első romantikus regényét az utazás iránti szenvedélye és a hollywoodi csillogás világa inspirálta. Olyan történeteket szeretne írni, amilyeneket ő maga is szívesen olvasna egy medence partján vagy nyaralás közben: napfényes, egzotikus helyszíneken játszódó, romantikus és titkokkal teli regényeket, amelyek megszínesítik a hétköznapokat.

Trutyi
„Nem tudom, mikor jöttem rá, hogy Nim nem fog visszajönni. Csak lassan esett le számomra. Nem tudtam pontosan, mennyi ideig tart az összevarrás: tizenöt perc, fél óra? Egy óra elteltével vettem rá magam, hogy szóljak valakinek. A nővérek azt hitték, Nim eltévedt a kórházban, vagy talán rossz kórterembe küldték vissza. Észrevettem, hogy a kis bőrönd, amit bepakoltam neki, váltóruhával, fogkefével, a telefonjával, eltűnt. Erre felhívtam a nővérek figyelmét is. Lassan néma pánik lett úrrá mindenkin. A baba aludt. Végül megnézték a biztonsági kamerák felvételeit, és jól látszott, ahogy Nim egész egyszerűen kisétál a kórház parkolójából. Melegítőalsót és egy ócska, szürke kapucnis pulcsit viselt, még mindig kissé nehézkesen, kacsázva lépkedett, a jobb szemöldökén elkenődött vérfolt látszott.”
Felemelő történet két nőről, akik egy váratlan terhesség miatt zavarba ejtően közel kerülnek egymáshoz.
Jules már öt éve elvált Leontól, de még mindig a közös, lepattant kocsmájukban dolgozik: a Trutyiban. A brightoni fiatalok kedvelt szórakozóhelyén éjszakánként feleseket tölt, és végignézi, ahogy a volt férje, Leon, diáklányokat szed fel.
Egy nap Leon felveszi a tizenkilenc éves Nimet. Az új kolléganő érkezése felrázza Julest az évek óta tartó közönyből. Amikor pedig a lány terhes lesz, és Jules segítségét kéri, a kapcsolatuk gyökeresen megváltozik.
Aztán Jules egyszer csak hirtelen egyedül marad az apró lakásában egy egynapos kisbabával a kezében, akin még érzi Nim illatát. Nem tudja, hova tűnt a gyerek anyja, visszatér-e egyáltalán. Azt pedig végképp nem sejti, hogy mit tartogat számukra a jövő.
A Trutyi sodró erejű regény egy legkevésbé sem hagyományos családmodellről. Szerelem és szenvedély, biztonság és rombolás, káosz és rend kavarog minden egyes oldalán szétválaszthatatlanul.
Jegyzetek egy kivégzéshez
Ansel Packer tizenkét óra múlva meghal. Tisztában van azzal, hogy mit tett, és most a kivégzésére vár, ugyanarra a sorsra, amit ő is rákényszerített azokra a lányokra évekkel ezelőtt. De Ansel nem akar meghalni, azt akarja, hogy ünnepeljék, hogy megértsék.
Egy anya, egy lánytestvér, egy gyilkossági nyomozó – nők, akiknek a kaleidoszkópján keresztül megismerjük Ansel élettörténetét.
Találkozunk az anyjával, Lavenderrel; egy tizenhét éves lánnyal, aki kétségbeesett lépésre kényszerül; Hazellel, Ansel feleségének ikertestvérével, aki születésük óta elválaszthatatlan nővérétől, de most kénytelen tétlenül figyelni, ahogy a testvére kapcsolata mindegyiküket felemészti. És végül Saffyval, a nyomozóval, aki szorosan a nyomában van, és aki annak szenteli a hivatását, hogy rossz embereket bíróság elé állítson, miközben képtelen tisztán látni a saját életét.
Danya Kukafka regénye a feszültséget megdöbbentő empátiával ötvözve hátborzongató képet fest a női sorsról, és ezzel egyidejűleg feltárja az amerikai sorozatgyilkos ismerős narratíváját, komoly kérdéseket megfogalmazva az igazságszolgáltatással és a bűnügyi történetek iránti megszállottságunkkal kapcsolatban. Mindeközben az olvasó elgondolkodhat azon, hogy érdemes-e értelmet keresni erőszakos emberek pszichéjében…
