Good for a Girl
Lauren Fleshman has grown up in the world of running. One of the most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a national champion as a pro, she was a major face of women's running for Nike before leaving to shake up the industry with feminist running brand Oiselle and coach elite young female runners. Every step of the way, she has seen how our sports systems - originally designed by men, for men and boys - fail young women and girls as much as empower them. Girls drop out of sports at alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female collegiate athletes routinely fall victim to injury, eating disorders or mental health struggles as they try to force their way past a natural dip in performance for women of their age.
Part memoir, part manifesto, Good for a Girl is Fleshman's story of falling in love with running as a girl, battling devastating injuries and self-doubt, and daring to fight for a better way for female athletes. Long gone are the days when women and girls felt lucky just to participate; Fleshman and women everywhere are waking up to the reality that they're running, playing and competing in a world that wasn't made for them. Drawing not only on her own story but also on emerging research on the physiology and psychology of young athletes of any gender, Fleshman gives voice to the often-silent experience of the female athlete and argues that the time has come to rebuild our systems of competitive sport with women at their centre.
Written with heart and verve, Good for a Girl is a joyful love letter to the running life, a raw personal narrative of growth and change, and a vital call to reimagine sports for young women.
Yoga for Stiff Birds

Now she shares that passion with her illustrated character Bob the Bird, whose expressive poses will charm you into a reviving session of yoga breathing, stretching, posing, and mindfulness.

Library for the War-Wounded
From Monika Helfer's award-winning, internationally bestselling wartime trilogy, based on her own family. Translated into English for the first time.
'We called him Vati, Dad. Not Father, not Papa. That's what he wanted. He thought it sounded modern. He wanted to present himself to us, and through us, as a man in tune with the modern age. Though he seemed to come from nowhere.'
Josef was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the First World War while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one leg. He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended, deeply isolated place with a remarkable library.
He was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books, his great treasure and secret amidst a country barrelling away from the memory of war.
Beautifully written, restrained, and memorable, Library for the War-Wounded turns a real life into great literature by confronting the universal question- Who are our parents, really?
Divadlo za demokracii Theatre for Democracy
Publikaci tehdejšího dramaturga Divadla na provázku, který 18. listopadu 1989 jako první vyhlásil ze scény stávku českých divadel, tvoří z více než třetiny zmenšený reprint výstavy, která byla koncipována pro expedici do Jihoafrické republiky u příležitosti desátého výročí sametové revoluce pod názvem DIVADLO PRO DEMOKRACII Divadlo na provázku a česká divadla v sametové revoluci 1989 (autor koncepce výstavy: Petr Oslzlý, výtvarný autor výstavy: Joska Skalník). Ta tehdy na 22 jednotlivých a vždy na určité téma zaměřených panelech mapovala fotografiemi umístěnými na podkladové koláži z grafických písemných dokumentů příběh unikátního podílu divadla na společenských událostech, které se odehrály v letech 19871990, především pak na rozhodujících společenských změnách roku 1989, pojmenovávaných právě jako sametová revoluce. Pro knižní podobu dopsal Petr Oslzlý k těmto panelům podrobné popisky, jež přibližují dění zachycené na fotografiích. Tuto obrazovou část pak doplnil svými již dříve publikovanými, ale nyní nově zredigovanými texty na toto téma: přednáškou Revoluce českých divadel a divadelnost české revoluce, rozhovorem s Karlem Hvížďalou z druhého vydání knihy Výslech revolucionářů z roku 89 a přednáškou Divadlo ve svatém kruhu. Veškeré texty jsou zde publikovány jak v české, tak v anglické verzi, jejíž autorkou je významná překladatelka, pedagožka a spisovatelka Barbara Day. Prestižní velkoformátová a částečně celobarevná publikace na křídovém papíře s množstvím unikátních, poprvé v historii otištěných dokumentů je nesporně jedním z exkluzivních připomenutí událostí z roku 1989 a role, kterou v nich sehráli studenti a divadla.

Kemi is the determined athlete who knows she deserves as good a shot as anyone else - if only she can get to the starting line.

The Fight for Privacy
Danielle Citron takes the conversation about technology and privacy out of the boardrooms and op-eds to reach readers where we are - in our bathrooms and bedrooms; with our families and our lovers; in all the parts of our lives we assume are untouchable - and shows us that privacy, as we think we know it, is largely already gone.
The boundary that once protected our intimate lives from outside interests is an artefact of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first, we have embraced a vast array of technology that enables constant access and surveillance of the most private aspects of our lives. From non-consensual pornography, to online extortion, to the sale of our data for profit, we are vulnerable to abuse -- and our laws have failed miserably to keep up.
With vivid examples drawn from interviews with victims, activists and lawmakers from around the world, The Fight for Privacy reveals the threat we face and argues urgently and forcefully for a reassessment of privacy as a human right. As a legal scholar and expert, Danielle Citron is the perfect person to show us the way to a happier, better protected future.

Stereoscopy is Good For You

For the Wolf
THE FIRST DAUGHTER IS FOR THE THRONE.
THE SECOND DAUGHTER IS FOR THE WOLF.
As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose - to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in order to save her kingdom. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again.
But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the Wilderwood - and her world - will be lost forever.
Hannah Whitten's New York Times bestselling debut is a sweeping tale of love, legends and the secrets that hide beyond the trees.
'I loved it! I was completely swept away by the world-building, the characters, and the delicate gorgeousness of the writing! A brilliant dark fantasy debut' Jodi Picoult
