Ataturk
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was one of the most significant political leaders of the twentieth century –how should we understand Atatürk and his legac? n this book, George Gawrych studies Atatürk’s career in detail, showing how Atatürk's military background and subsequent political ideology combined with wider social forces to set Turkey on a path of secular nationalism and modernization. Hislegacy can be seen everywhere in Turkey today, from the role and rights of women in society to the after effects of Kemalism on the Republic’s political landscape.

Dost dobrý život
Dnešní rychlá a na výkon zaměřená doba na nás vytváří ohromný tlak, který svými vlastními nároky častokrát ještě zvyšujeme. Chceme být „úspěšní“. Mít peníze ale neznamená být šťastný. Mít hezké tělo neznamená být zdravý. A být obklopen lidmi neznamená cítit se milován. Proto vám odhalím můj příběh „úspěšného chlapa“, který se svým špatně směřovaným úsilím připravil v životě o vše, co je v něm opravdu důležité. Naštěstí jsem dostal šanci se ze svých chyb včas poučit a ani vy je nemusíte opakovat.

Show Dont Tell
Razor-sharp, glittering tales exploring marriage, fame and female friendship, from the Sunday Times bestselling author.
In this compulsive collection of twelve witty stories, Sittenfeld shows why she’s as beloved for her short fiction as she is for her novels, as she conjures up characters so real that they seem like old friends.
In ‘The Patron Saints of Middle Age,’ a woman visits two friends she hasn’t seen since her divorce.
In ‘A for Alone,’ a married artist embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men can’t spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in ‘Lost but Not Forgotten,’ Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a new window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an awkward school reunion.
Witty, confronting and full of tenderness, Sittenfeld peels back layer after layer of our inner lives, keeping us riveted to the page with her utterly distinctive voice.

In a holy walled city where sin and sanctity are revealed through touch, Csilla - a girl born without a soul - is worth little to the Church that raised her. But when a series of murders corrodes the faithful magic that keep the city safe, the Church elders see a use for her flaw: she can assassinate their prime suspect, a heretic with divine heritage, without risking the stain of sin. The heretic, however, makes Csilla a counteroffer: clear his name by helping him catch the real killer, and he'll use his angelic gifts to grant her very own soul. Meanwhile, ruthless Ilan, desperate to earn back his position as Church Inquisitor, sees the case as his chance at redemption: he'll bring in the murderer - or, failing that, Csilla and the heretic - and regain his title. But as the death toll rises, and their hunt pits them against the all-powerful and callous Faith, Csilla finds herself torn. Will her salvation come at the cost of everything she believes i? ngels.

The Waterbearers
A heartfelt memoir exploring Black womanhood, motherhood and culture; perfect for fans of Toni Morrison and Stay True by Hua Hsu. ‘A tale of evolution and hope’ – Hilton Als, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of White Girls‘One of the most beautiful and truthful books I’ve ever read.’ - Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America--------------'Wherever there is water, there is mystery. And mystery breeds mythology.'When Sasha Bonét’s grandmother, Betty Jean, raised eleven children in a Texas bayou house, she did it alone, creating a home that was the heart of their family. Her daughter, Mama Connie, vowed to live differently but found herself echoing her mother’s struggles. Now, Sasha navigates motherhood, reflecting on the legacies of Black women like Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks and Darnella Frazier (the woman who told the world about George Floyd) to build a portrait of Black womanhood through time. From mundane yet powerful mornings at the kitchen table to moments of courageously taking on the world at large in the fight for dignity, Bonét explores the trials and triumphs of Black matriarchy – escape, promise, burden, assent and rebellion – weaving personal history with cultural narratives. With clear-eyed tenderness, The Waterbearers reveals intimate vignettes mixed with cultural history of Black women who have built legacies and changed the world through the ties of love – and complexity – that bind them. Praise for The Waterbearers:‘A bold new entry in the canon of literature about Black motherhood’ – Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of Libertie ‘Magnificent… Bonét dances on our hearts in this classic creation of will and wit. Electrifying and incredibly sturdy. Wow.’ – Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy‘The Waterbearers is a wonder of a book ? raw in its honesty, tender in its gaze, lyrical and luminous on the page.' – Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory‘An epic love song and a remarkable ballad of generations…the women in these pages [have] forever deepened my understanding of motherhood, history, homecoming, and the revolutionary potential of love.’ - Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams

Learning from Silence
From the bestselling author of The Art of Stillness, a revelatory exploration of the abiding clarity and calm to be found in quiet retreatOver the past three decades, Pico Iyer has made more than a hundred journeys to a small hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He's not a Christian, nor a member of any religious group, and yet his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. In Learning from Silence, Iyer travels deep into inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery, even as his life is going through constant change: houses burn, a parent dies, a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences, alongside wisdom from other non-monastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. Most profoundly, he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing, he offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life - and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there's a space for quiet and recollection that's open to us all. Radiant, intimate and gripping, Learning from Silence offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live, how to love and, ultimately, how to die.
School Isn't For Everyone (and what you can do instead)
Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach. Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment. This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application. School Isn''t For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents'' role is and explores what children do all day when they don''t follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-to-day life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored. Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.
