This Woven Kingdom
Clashing empires, forbidden romance, and a long-forgotten queen destined to save her people—bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s first in an epic, romantic trilogy inspired by Persian mythology.
To all the world, Alizeh is a disposable servant, not the long-lost heir to an ancient Jinn kingdom forced to hide in plain sight.
The crown prince, Kamran, has heard the prophecies foretelling the death of his king. But he could never have imagined that the servant girl with the strange eyes, the girl he can’t put out of his mind, would one day soon uproot his kingdom—and the world.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tomi Adeyemi, and Sabaa Tahir, this is the explosive first book in a new fantasy trilogy from the New York Times bestselling and National Book Award-nominated author Tahereh Mafi.

Together is Better
Most of us live our lives by accident - we live as it happens. Fulfilment comes when we live our lives on purpose. 'What are you going to do with your life? What are you doing with your life now?' 'Do you have goals? A vision? A clear sense of why you do what you do?' Almost everyone knows someone who has grappled with at least one of these questions. The answers can often seem elusive or uncertain. Though there are many paths to follow into the unknown future, there is one way that dramatically increases the chances we will enjoy the journey. To travel with someone we trust. We can try to build a successful career or a happy life alone, but why would we? Together is better. This unique and delightful little book makes the point that together is better in a quite unexpected way. Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, blends the wisdom he has gathered from around the world with a heartwarming, richly illustrated original fable. Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.
Ultra. Proč je noc černá. Why The Night is Black
Kniha skutečných příběhů „posledních“ nejvýznamnějších kanibalských Papuánských náčelníků a autentický záznam komunikace při symbolickém „Posledním Prvním Kontaktu“.
Po tisíciletí byly takového příběhy předávány z generace na generaci pouze verbálně. Tato kniha /bohatě doplněných černobílými fotografiemi/ je první zaznamenaný materiál přepsaných autentických nahrávek rozhovorů s posledními přírodními lidmi doby kamenné předtím, než je navždy změní globalizace. Všichni mluví v první osobě a popisují své skutečné zážitky, neboť v džungli se nerozlišuje (západním úhlem pohledu) přirozené od nadpřirozeného. Všechno je reálné.
Až dosud bývaly „první kontakty“ věcí moci, násilí, zvětšování teritorií a území vlivu, /ale naše země nikdy nekolonizovala jiné/ a o dnes již zaniklých animistických kulturách se zachovala svědectví prospektorů, misionářů, vojáků a antropologů, aniž domorodci vyprávějí sami o sobě. První kontakt s posledními přírodními národy až dosud nikdy neučinili umělci, přestože jde o "Setkání kultur"....
Jedná se rozšířenou verzi knihy Proč je noc černá, jejíž první vydání roku 2005 získalo cenu Magnesia Litera za objev roku.
A book of true stories told by the ‘last’ prominent cannibal Papuan tribal chiefs and the authentic record of communication during the symbolic ‘Final First Contact’.
For thousands of years, stories like these have been part of the tribes’ oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. This book /richly supplemented with black and white photographs/ is the first ever transcription of authentic recorded interviews, conducted with the final indigenous tribespeople before their primeval culture is forever changed by globalisation. The first-person accounts describe the tribesmen’s true stories, at least from their point of view: for them, there is no distinction between the natural and the supernatural – everything is equally real.
Until now, ‘first contacts’ have been a matter of power, violence, the expansion of territories and spheres of influence /but our country has never colonized others/ and there are testimonies of prospectors, missionaries, soldiers, and anthropologists about the now extinct animist cultures, without the natives telling their own stories. The first contact with the last natural nations had never previously been made by artists, despite the fact that it was a Meeting of Cultures…
This is an expanded version of the book Why the Night is Black, the first edition of which won the 2005 Magnesia Litera Award for Discovery of the Year.

Quality Check! This is really a Good Thing
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because in our often hectic world there is virtually infinite choice. But the mass of choices overwhelms many people. We hardly know which path leads to the desired result and really brings something. Often, priorities lack focus or crystal-clear goals. As a result, we often lose time unnecessarily, or necessary decision-making processes are repeatedly postponed. By the way, this also applies to interpersonal relationships. Often we do not dare to clearly prioritize things that are important to us and to communicate this accordingly with a clear no, because social fears or feelings of guilt are associated with this. Structured processes, strategies and checklists help here, showing what is really important in one's own life and what one can confidently do without. This book helps to achieve success. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process. The publisher is also involved in numerous, well-documented charitable projects, e.g. on climate protection, and supports the quality of neural machine learning and international understanding through its translation from German into English. Editor Simone Janson is chairwoman, publisher, and best-selling author. She was also one of the 20 most important German bloggers and columnist of renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You
Why are we often convinced that we're right even when we're wrong?
Why are we jealous, or paranoid, even when we have absolutely no reason to be?
Why is it so easy for fake news to spread around the globe and fool us?
It's because we don't see the world as it is, rather we reconstruct it in our mind. Reality is way too complex and multiple to be apprehended by our capacities of attention, which are quite limited, as well as our brain abilities. That is why our perception of the world is subjective and various elements influence the way we acquire knowledge and form opinions. Our brain is recreating the world in its own way - most of the time for our own good: how hard would it be if, before making a choice, we had to know about all the options available in a given situation? It would take us forever to choose an item of clothing in a store, or a meal in a restaurant! Luckily, our brain can estimate: even if it makes us imperfect and subject to illusion, delusion and error, it allows us to reconstruct the world as we know it, and live in it.
However, these very useful mechanisms can sometimes mislead us and have a rather negative impact on our actions, beliefs and opinions: when our brain behaves that way, we say it is biased. Albert Moukheiber gives us tips and tricks to fight against these cognitive biases - the first one being not to trust ourselves too much and to always doubt our thinking processes, especially in this era where social networks spread information like an epidemic. In this book, filled with multiple examples from our daily lives and psychosocial experiments, Moukheiber explores the building blocks of our perception, cognition and behavior, which are involved in acquiring knowledge or forming opinions.
How Emotions Are Made
'Fascinating . . . a thought-provoking journey into emotion science' The Wall Street Journal
When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside of you?
Many scientists believe that emotions come from a specific part of the brain, triggered by the world around us. The thrill of seeing an old friend, the fear of losing someone we love - each of these sensations seems to arise automatically and uncontrollably from within us, finding expression on our faces and in our behaviour, carrying us away with the experience.
This understanding of emotion has been around since Plato. But what if it is wrong? In How Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our common-sense ideas about emotions are dramatically, even dangerously, out of date - and that we have been paying the price. Emotions aren't universally pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history, physiology and environment.
This new view of emotions has serious implications: when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion, when police officers fire at threatening suspects, or when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another, they're all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies. Revising that conception of emotion isn't just good science, Barrett shows; it's vital to our well-being and the health of society itself.
This Poison Heart
Ever since she can remember, Briseis has had power over plants. Flowers bloom in her footsteps and leaves turn to face her as though she were the sun. It's a power she and her adoptive mothers have spent her whole life trying to hide. And then Briseis inherits an old house from her birth mother and suddenly finds herself with the space and privacy to test her powers for the first time. But as Briseis starts to bring the house's rambling garden back to life, she finds she has also inherited generations of secrets. A hidden altar to a dark goddess, a lineage of witches stretching back to ancient times, and a hidden garden overgrown with the most deadly poisonous plants on earth. And Briseis's long-departed ancestors aren't going to let her rest until she accepts her place as the keeper of the terrible power that lies at the heart of the Poison Garden. Cinderella Is Dead author Kalynn Bayron brings a message of proud inclusivity to this empowering fantasy about a young woman finding the strength to challenge everything she has been told is true. Don't miss the sequel, This Wicked Fate, where to save the people she loves, Briseis must change the most dangerous of fates ahead of her...
This is love - Végre szerelem
Remi Divine színésznőnek elege van a zaklatókból, de a testőrökből is. Egyáltalán abból, hogy minden lépését figyelik. De azért egy cseppet sem kell félteni! Tudja, hogyan kovácsoljon előnyt lázadó szelleméből: meg kell szabadulnia basáskodó testőreitől, akik tapadnak rá, és ennek legjobb módja a szökés.
Mason Swift biztonsági céget vezet, élete mások védelméről szól. Amikor Remi megszökik két legjobb emberétől, a férfi átveszi az irányítást, és maga áll a színésznő mellé testőrnek, minden tőle telhetőt megtéve, hogy jól végezze a munkáját. Mivel állami gondozásban nőtt fel, és egykor a különleges erőknél szolgált, minden trükköt jól ismer. Semmi sem kerüli el a figyelmét, főleg nem a gyönyörű, leleményes Remi.
A férfi azt hiszi a nőről, hogy hisztérikus. A nő azt hiszi a férfiról, hogy arrogáns. De azonnal szikrák lobbantják lángra őket a másik jelenlétében, és megnyílnak egymás felé, így kapcsolatuk hamarosan megállíthatatlan lesz. Amikor pedig bekövetkezik a tragédia, Remi rájön, hogy nem az a legrosszabb dolog a világon, ha valaki meg akarja védeni.

This is not a test - Éles helyzet
Hat gimnazista az iskolájában próbálja kibekkelni a világvégét. Sikerülhet nekik?
Mit lehet tenni, ha elmosódik a határ élők és holtak között? A világnak vége. Hat diák beveszi magát a gimnáziumba, de sovány vigasz egy menedékhely, ha az élőhalottak folyamatosan püfölik az ajtót.
Ennél tökéletesebb alkalom nem is kell a befejezéshez. Sloane Price-ban a vég soha nem keltett rettegést. Az ő világa már hat hónapja véget ért, és azóta nem igazán tudja, miért van még életben.
Miben lehet megkapaszkodni, ha minden elveszett?
Ahogy vánszorognak előre a napok, megváltoznak a túlélés indítékai, és a csoport sorsát egyre kevésbé a kinti történések határozzák meg, egyre inkább függnek a kiszámíthatatlan élet-halál kérdésektől - idebent. Hátborzongató regény - Courtney Summers csúcsormában.
