Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (Novel) Vol. 5
THE SHIFTING SANDS OF TIME
As the capital of Chang’an prepares for a grand celebration, An Lushan and his henchmen plot to wreak havoc within the city. In their clutches is Mergen, who has surrendered his heart to the heavenly demon in order to discover his plans. At night, Lu Xu walks in his dreams, the two becoming more deeply entwined than either bargained for.
Li Jinglong believes the exorcists can stop An Lushan—and perhaps even strike down the black jiao Xie Yu, a far greater threat to the Divine Land. But when the mission unravels, Li Jinglong will put everything on the line to protect Hongjun from the demonic forces that would corrupt him—even if it means invoking a power that could spell his own destruction.

You’ve Changed
We live in an age obsessed with reinvention. But what does it really mean to change – and why do some transformations inspire us while others make us bristle?
New York Times journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis’s thought-provoking investigation takes us inside the lives of people who’ve changed themselves, or say they have: from political converts to a seemingly transformed murderer and a bully-turned-Buddhist. Through their stories and his own, he explores how identity, belief, and belonging shift despite the certainties we often cling to. Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists and spiritual teachers,
You’ve Changed shows how self-reinvention is more often self-discovery, and why personal change is like a team sport – revealing the compassionate truth at the heart of our deepest hopes and fears.

Váš duch byl připraven, ale tělo bylo slabé...
Reformace zásadně proměnila raně novověkou Evropu, když narušila monopol římské církve a přinesla nové pojetí vztahu člověka k Bohu. Následný proces konfesionalizace dovršil rozkol západního křesťanství. Vznik konfesí a jejich vzájemné vymezování vstoupily do mnoha oblastí života včetně politiky, což v evropském měřítku vyústilo třicetiletou válkou. Kniha se zaměřuje na průběh reformace a konfesionalizace v královském městě Jihlavě v době od příchodu prvního luteránského kazatele až do prvních let po bitvě na Bílé hoře. Raně novověké město představovalo svébytné prostředí, které bylo formováno hodnotovým systémem měšťanů, sociální strukturou a činností aktérů, kteří ve městě žili, ale i těch, kteří jeho chod ovlivňovali na dálku. Autorka si kladla otázku, kdo ve městě patřil k hlavním aktérům reformačního příběhu, jak spolu vzájemně komunikovali a ve kterých oblastech zdejšího života hrála konfese podstatnou roli. Díky bohaté pramenné základně, která nabídla úřední i narativní dokumenty, rekonstruuje obraz městského církevního společenství v postupně se zneklidňujícím čase.

Sacred Homemaking
Transform your house into a living sanctuary with ritual, magic, and gratitude Kimberly Steele defines the home as the seat of the soul; it is our personal ecosystem, rich with spirits and elemental energies. Within this context the concept of ‘sacred homemaking’ can be defined as a constant conversation with these spirits of place. All too often we devalue our homes, viewing them in purely monetary terms, as collections of ‘things’ without consciousness or sentience. Sacred Homemaking invites us to reconsider this relationship, instead prioritising thankfulness and gratitude, to deepen our relationships with the spirits in our homes. Through the course of this book, Steele proves that by practicing gratitude, the sacred homemaker learns to communicate with such beings to bring order, balance, and serenity into the home. Sacred Homemaking takes a clear and intuitive structure, following the wheel of the year with sections divided across the four seasons. It offers examples of different offerings and rituals that can be performed to approve the sanctity of the home. Examples include cleaning rituals; hoodoo spray; alchemical kitchen work; etheric and astral pyramids; spells; divination; folding methods; astral purification; gardening advice; haunted objects; dealing with poltergeists; and much more!In the busy, materialistic world of the twenty-first century, Kimberly Steele’s methodology is a refreshing reminder to introduce mindfulness and intention into our everyday lives, starting with something as simple, yet infinitely important, as the home.

Draiocht Ceoil
Within us all is the ability to hear the magic of sound, to use music and words to create a new reality. In Irish traditions this is known as Dra ocht Ceoil - 'music magic' - an ancient art deeply rooted in Ireland s mythology and culture, used for generations to harness the power of sound for connecting to natural magical energy. This is the first book of its kind to examine the tradition of Dra ocht Ceoil, its ancient roots in the poetic tradition of Old Ireland, and its evolution into a vital part of Irish folk magic practices. From its early times, Irish society has elevated the roles of poet and musician to facilitators of magic, which has evolved into a rich tradition of both domestic and political magic, surviving throughout Ireland into the modern era, adapting to the needs of its generations. No musical or literary expertise is needed, only a love of sound and creativity, for Dra ocht Ceoil to add depth to your magical practice. Its application to meditation and journeying will make it a perfect addition to your spiritual path.

Higher Education in China
Assessing the trajectory of China's higher education system amid competing domestic priorities and global ambitions. By 2025, China had twice as many college students as the United States, four times as many STEM graduates, and double the number of STEM PhDs. What will it mean for the global future when a quarter of a billion Chinese citizens hold higher education degrees? In this timely book, Gerard A. Postiglione—an internationally recognized authority on Chinese education—offers a panoramic view of the world's largest state-directed higher education system and its complex interplay with China's social, economic, and geopolitical ambitions. At the center of Postiglione's analysis is the tension between domestic imperatives and global aspirations. As China aims to cultivate a world-significant higher education system by 2035, it faces a trio of formidable challenges: graduate employment, equitable access, and governance reform. Higher Education in China unpacks how elite Chinese research institutions and rapidly expanding second- and third-tier colleges are navigating these pressures amid a shifting landscape shaped by urban-rural inequality, labor market demands, and technological disruption. Based on policy consultation with China's Ministry of Education and on-the-ground research in nearly every province, Postiglione's account brings unmatched depth and perspective. He traces how returnee scholars, massification policies, and regional development initiatives have transformed campuses and classrooms, while also posing difficult questions about sustainability, quality, and inclusion. Higher Education in China illustrates how the country's evolving academic system may influence its long-term trajectory—and, by extension, reshape the global order of knowledge and innovation.

Jane Zander has moved with her husband, Matt, back to his hometown of Atwood, Wisconsin, where he is the new headmaster of the prestigious Atwood Prep School. Jane hopes it will be a good fit for herself, her husband, and their children.

Matt, fearing for his own reputation in a town small enough for everyone to know everything, is in denial. And Charles is facing increasing pressure to conform. When Jane befriends Libby, an Atwood outcast, her advocacy for Charles grows even stronger. Then an unforeseen crisis changes everything, forcing a husband and wife, a family, and a community to confront their beliefs about gender, identity, and unconditional love. Compassionate and illuminating, The Consequences of Normal explores the journey of a mother and child navigating a different but true path of their own.
Calder: Dreaming in Equilibrium
A richly illustrated exploration of Calder's deep ties to France and the evolution of his work
This book brings together more than three hundred works, testament to Alexander Calder's profound connection to France and the way he developed a radically modern body of work.

Plays Well with Others
Dating lessons from my American football-playing best friend? Sign me up!
At the glittery break-up party she throws for herself, Rachel Dumont envisions lifting a glass to celebrate being free and single again. What she actually does: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to her best guy friend that she'd really like to get back on the horse. She doesn't expect Carter Hendrix's answer to be to volunteer himself.
With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body, it'd be no hardship for Rachel to say yes, though she certainly doesn't want him to feel obligated to, um, service her just because her failed, loveless marriage was an s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident professional American football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, Rachel and Carter make a deal to help each other out.
Pretty soon, the public how-to-date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And Rachel's a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing.
Can Rachel and Carter's friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since she's suddenly longing for her best friend, and there's nothing fake about her feelings…
