Na tenkém ledě
Před sedmi lety byl Miles Pussett žokejem v překážkových dostizích, po nešťastné události však sport opustil a přísahal, že se k němu už nikdy nevrátí. Nyní adrenalin vyhledává na švýcarské ledové dráze Cresta Run ve Svatém Mořici. Náhodou se v městečku ocitne během stejného víkendu, kdy se na zamrzlém jezeře konají špičkové dostihy, a nechá se přemluvit, aby pomohl s koňmi. Věci však nejsou tak nevinné, jak se zdálo. Když Miles zjistí, že se na dostizích děje něco podezřelého, co může zásadně ovlivnit jeho budoucnost, začne hledat odpovědi. Někdo mu v tom však chce zabránit – a udělá pro to cokoli.
The Poisons We Drink
In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.
Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.
Then an enemy's iron bullet kills her mother, Venus's life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother's killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.'s most influential politicians.
As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it's hard to tell who to trust...Herself included.
The Poisons We Drink is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.

I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This
Grief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier.
When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then.
With 17 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - it's something you can turn to when you can barely concentrate, when you're looking for solace, when you're looking for hope, when you simply need to throw something across the floor, and when you need somebody to assure you, and to keep assuring you: I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This.
What You Need to Be Warm
Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season.
In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.
Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.
Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
Adventures in Volcanoland
Adventures in Volcanoland charts journeys across deserts, through jungles and up ice caps, to some of the world's most important volcanoes, from Nicaragua to Hawaii, Santorini to Ethiopia, exploring Tamsin Mather's obsession with these momentous geological formations, the cultural and religious roles they have played in the minds of those living around them at different times throughout history, and the science behind their formation and eruptions.
Volcanoes help to make and shape our world, bursting forth from inside of the earth and, in many places, looming over us. Present since the earth's beginning they continue to maintain its life support systems and, their extraordinary chemistry may even have created the ingredients needed for life to kick start.
In some places volcanoes are even beginning to provide us with part of the energy we need to curb our use of fossil fuels. They have fascinated humans for millennia, their eruptions charted throughout history, seeming to show us how the earth has been living, breathing and changing for billions of years.
Why exactly are these geological mammoths found where they are? What can they teach us about our environment, the Anthropocene and the ecological disaster that is climate change? Are there volcanoes on other planets, and what might they tell us about whether we could one day live there if we exhaust our own habitat? How can we predict if or when volcanoes might explode?
Adventures in Volcanoland is an enthralling mix of travel, science and environmental writing for fans of Robert MacFarlane and Raynor Winn.
All That We Never Were
Devastating grief has a way of overshadowing love...
Nineteen-year-old Leah Jones is struggling to cope after she and her twenty-nine-year-old brother Oliver lose their parents in a horrific car accident. Leah was in the car and is plagued by nightmares, intense grief and numbness-her life as she knew it is over.
Oliver hates leaving Leah at a time like this, but the only way he can support them both is if he transfers to Sydney for work. He implores his best friend Axel Nguyen to let her move in with him in their hometown of Byron Bay and watch over her while he's away. Oliver, Axel and Leah have known each other since childhood.
For Axel, seeing Leah so broken and devastated is a punch to the gut. He promises himself he'll do anything to bring the light back into her eyes, no matter what it takes. He would be shocked to learn that Leah is in love with him.
Little by little, as he does everything in his power to bring Leah back to the sparkling, energetic beauty he's known, he falls in love with her, too, even though he feels that he's betraying Oliver's trust. Before he can tell him, Oliver finds out about Leah and Axel's relationship and is outraged. He insists Axel prove his love by letting her go so she can fully experience life at college.
Axel agrees to break both of their hearts, and stoically breaks up with Leah so she can start a new life, not realizing the repercussions that will affect them both for years to come.
Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people.
But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play.
Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock.
And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death.
Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon.
Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship.
Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.

Bělehrad 1976 - Evropské zlato za všechny miliony
Bělehrad 1976: toto slovní spojení rezonuje v hlavách a srdcích nejen fotbalových fanoušků. A po právu: vždyť naše historie tohoto sportu, ať už československá, nebo česká, nemá žádnou další zlatou medaili ze světového či evropského šampionátu.
Kniha, kterou sestavili zkušení sportovní novináři a publicisté Josef Káninský a Stanislav Hrabě, nás provází na podivuhodné cestě; tu musel urazit tým, kterému nikdo příliš nevěřil ani u nás (natož ve fotbalové Evropě), jehož vedení nepočítalo s tím, že by se mohl probojovat do evropského finále (a tam uspět), kterému se předtím nepodařilo postoupit na mistrovství světa… I po tomto neúspěchu naštěstí zůstal u kormidla Václav Ježek – a spolu s Jozefem Venglošem sestavili mužstvo, které mělo kvalitu i bojovnost, pokoru i sebevědomí, ale především týmového ducha. A pro něž byl sportovní úspěch mnohem víc, než všechny miliony (které tehdejší šampioni stejně nedostali).
Autoři vyzpovídali celou řadu bělehradských hrdinů – jmenujme např. Antonína Panenku, Ivo Viktora, Karola Dobiaše, Zdeňka Nehodu či Jozefa Vengloše –, stejně jako další osobnosti našeho fotbalu, které se vyznaly ze svého obdivu k úspěchu, jenž bohužel nebyl doceněn a využit.
I proto berte tuto knihu jako skromný dík těm, od jejichž triumfu uplyne už brzy čtyřicet let. Díky autentickým svědectvím i fotografiím se ponoříte do světa, v němž Evropě vládly československé kličky, přihrávky a střely, skálopevná obrana v čele s Viktorem a Ondrušem, konstruktivní záloha, která přehrála i holandské superhvězdy, a produktivní útok, jenž se dokázal prosadit nejen proti úřadujícím mistrům a vicemistrům světa, ale už předtím spolu s celým týmem přešel přes Anglii, Portugalsko a Sovětský svaz.
Dnes nám to může připadat jako pohádka – a ona to pohádka opravdu byla. Se zlatým koncem… a plná poučení a inspirace pro všechny, kteří fandí našemu fotbalu.
