Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Yale student Lily Chen arrives in Taipei hungry: for family, for culture, for connection.
But her summer of discovery quickly unravels. Her classes are grueling, her roommate unbearable, and a reckless, deeply awkward trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon ignites vicious gossip.
Then her grandfather dies. Grieving and adrift, Lily must confront her own questions about the culture she inherited but never fully understood. She embarks on a wryly funny, often devastating search for understanding: of herself, her family, and the meaning of home.
All over one unforgettable summer in Taipei.

Assassins and Templars
The story of the medieval world’s most extraordinary organisations, the Assassins and the Templars
The Assassins and the Templars are two of history’s most legendary groups. One was a Shi’ite religious sect, the other a Christian military order created to defend the Holy Land. Violently opposed, they had vastly different reputations, followings, and ambitions. Yet they developed strikingly similar strategies—and their intertwined stories have, oddly enough, uncanny parallels.
In this engaging account, Steve Tibble traces the history of these two groups from their origins to their ultimate destruction. He shows how, outnumbered and surrounded, they survived only by perfecting “the promise of death,” either in the form of a Templar charge or an Assassin’s dagger. Death, for themselves or their enemies, was at the core of these extraordinary organisations.
Their fanaticism changed the medieval world—and, even up to the present day, in video games and countless conspiracy theories, they have become endlessly conjoined in myth and memory.
A Right to Housing?
In the fight for housing, we are caught between the world we know and the world we want. A Right to Housing? offers both a roadmap and a reckoning. Drawing from his own experiences of on-the-ground organizing, Stein lays out practical policies for enacting a right to shelter, a right to a home, and a right to the city itself.With unflinching honesty, he then explores why these visions continuously crash against the rocks of political reality. From the power of real estate capital to the inadequacy of our institutions, he reveals the forces blocking our path-and summons the complex feelings of a Left that has lost faith in the future.Written in the heady weeks surrounding Zohran Mamdani's historic election for New York City mayor, Stein frames the book around the stirring possibilities and structural constraints of a socialist administration in the financial center of a sputtering empire. He opens a space for action in the absence of hope. This is an examination of life and politics at the intersection of optimism and pessimism, nihilism and naivety, faith and doubt-an essential book for activists, planners, and anyone who refuses to accept the housing crisis as inevitable or immutable.
Drak sa vracia, 2. vydanie
A tu sa pred ňou vynoril ten, o ktorom vedela, že raz príde. Usmieval sa jej do tváre a díval sa na ňu spýtavým, žiarivo čiernym pohľadom. Hanbila sa za svoje rozpaky, ale neľutovala, že počul jej pieseň. Nemusela nič viac hovoriť, ani on sa jej nemusel prihovárať, pretože začiatok povedala pieseň a ostatok dopovedal jeho pohľad. Cítila, ako sa pod ním celá prebára a roztápa – ako ľad na zamrznutej rieke, keď naň zasvieti jarné slnko. Nemohla to pred ním zatajiť a nechcela ani nič zatajovať. Zdvihla k nemu zrak, z ktorého on ľahko vyčítal plachý súhlas...
Dobroslav Chrobák (1907 – 1951), prozaik, literárny kritik a publicista, patrí spolu s Margitou Figuli a Františkom Švantnerom k významným predstaviteľom naturizmu. Po časopisecky uverejňovaných krátkych prózach knižne debutoval zbierkou noviel s dedinskou i mestskou tematikou Kamarát Jašek (1937). Jeho vrcholným dielom je románová novela Drak sa vracia (1943), ktorá sa právom radí ku klenotom slovenskej literatúry.

Pod tlakem krásy
Žijeme ve společnosti posedlé krásou, která učí ženy věřit, že krása je to nejdůležitější, co mohou světu nabídnout. Pojďme to změnit.
Dnešní mladé ženy čelí v otázce krásy řadě matoucích rozporů. Nechtějí být panenkami Barbie, ale stejně jako generace žen před nimi jsou přesvědčovány, že tak musí vypadat. Jsou rozhořčeny tím, jak média zacházejí se ženami, ale zároveň hladově konzumují obsah, který je ponižuje. Vysmívají se absurdnímu modernímu ideálu krásy a natáčejí videa odhalující triky Photoshopu – zároveň ale cítí tlak napodobovat ty samé ideály, které kritizují. Chápou, že to, co vidí, není realita, a přesto si stahují aplikace, aby upravily své fotky.
Přesto tyto mladé ženy neúnavně bojují za to, co je zajímá. Jsou připraveny postavit se proti kultuře posedlé krásou a vytvořit si jiný svět – ale potřebují vědět, jak dál.
V knize Pod tlakem krásy odhaluje Dr. Renee Engeln šokující důsledky naší posedlosti vzhledem dívek na jejich emoční a fyzické zdraví, peněženky a ambice, jako jsou deprese, poruchy příjmu potravy, narušení kognitivních procesů a ztráta peněz a času.
Kombinací vědeckých studií se skutečnými příběhy žen všech věkových kategorií jasně ukazuje, že abychom skutečně naplňovaly svůj potenciál, musíme se osvobodit od kulturního tlaku, který podněcuje destruktivní touhy, postoje a slova – od urážek tlustých žen po znevažující komentáře o jiných ženách. Poskytuje inspiraci a praktická řešení, která pomáhají dívkám a ženám překonat negativní postoje a přijmout samy sebe, změnit svůj život, dosáhnout budoucnosti, jakou si zaslouží, a nakonec změnit svůj svět.

We Already Dug the Grave
From the USA Today bestselling author of This Girl’s a Killer, comes a southern gothic thriller with the bite of Sharp Objects and a dash of Practical Magic, following two estranged sisters who will do anything to protect each other – even murder. Again.
Milly can’t divine the future anymore, and maybe that’s a good thing. Lately, her life has been bleak enough, she doesn’t need the now-silent tea leaves to tell her. Meanwhile, her estranged younger sister thrives miles away in a shiny new life with a shiny new marriage. Milly doesn’t blame Francis for wanting nothing to do with her. Not after what happened in that Tennessee meadow a decade before.
But when Francis shows up on Milly’s doorstep with a black eye and a plea for help – Milly can’t say no. Especially when the tea leaves are finally crystal clear: if the sisters don’t kill Francis’s husband, he’ll kill her.
And if they’re going to plot a murder, the sisters have no choice but to return to the one place they’d left behind. A place where another body – and a multitude of secrets – were buried. Because this isn’t the first time the sisters have needed to dispose of a bad man. In fact, they might be pretty good at it.
