Once Upon a Time There Was and Will Be So Much More
Take a journey from the distant past into a future to be imagined with this gorgeous debut picture book whose gradated pages reflect the passage of time.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, land took shape. Millions of years ago, dinosaurs lived on Earth. Thousands of years ago, people built towering pyramids. Ten years ago, the landscape looked different. A month ago, it was still summer. A minute ago, the light was turned off. Now! Make a wish! What will you be doing in a week? How will you celebrate your birthday next year? What will you discover when you are older? What will hold you in awe forever? Moving inexorably from an age primeval into a future filled with questions, Johanna Schaible brings her beautiful collage artwork to an exploration of time that melds a conceptual vision with a physical one. With each page turn, the pages gradually become smaller - showing more and more borders from the past - until they reach the present moment, then grow larger again as time expands into a future full of possibilities.
Women and Economics
Women and Economics – A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution is a book written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published in 1898. It is considered by many to be her single greatest work, and as with much of Gilman’s writing, the book touched a few dominant themes: the transformation of marriage, the family, and the home, with her central argument: “the economic independence and specialization of women as essential to the improvement of marriage, motherhood, domestic industry, and racial improvement.”

Ír tündérmesék
Az ír és kelta mitológia manapság az egyik legkedveltebb, legburjánzóbb és leghatásosabb, legkedveltebb kultúrkör az egész világon. A hihetetlen népszerűség a helyből táplálkozik, az ír sziget szemet gönyörködtető, lelket rabul ejtő, gondolatokat megbabonázó szépségéből, melyet több ezer éve népesítenek be csodálatos hősök, nagy királyok, félelmetes druidák, huncut manók, ártó szellemek, rosszcsont koboldok. Életük és harcaik, szerelmeik és küzdelmeik, szövetségeik és hőseik, vágyaik és félelmeik változatossága egyesül az ír sziget pazar tájaival és alkotja meg ezt a semmihez sem hasonlítható, egyedi tündérvilágot. Ebben a környezetben játszódnak a mesék, történetek, amiket Yeats gondos kézzel válogatott össze, és fésült szét fejezetekre, majd kiegészítette saját történeteivel.
Yeats mellett további hét szerző írásaiból áll össze az a tizennégy történet, amelyet Yeats ebbe a kötetbe gyűjtött össze, finoman egyensúlyozva és adagolva az eltérő stílusú, eredetű, korú és hosszúságú meséket. Bátran rábízhatjuk magunkat William Butler Yeats kezére és szellemére: a hihetetlenül gazdag ír monda- és mesevilág színes keresztmetszetét kapjuk ettől a kötettől, ami első ízben jelenik meg magyar nyelven.
Journey of the Mind
Why do minds exist? How did mud and stone develop into beings that can experience longing, regret, love and compassion-beings that are aware of their own experience? Until recently, science offered few answers to these existential questions. Journey of the Mind is the first book to offer a unified account of the mind that explains how consciousness, language, the Self and civilisation emerged incrementally out of chaos.
The journey begins three billion years ago with the emergence of the simplest possible mind, a nanoscopic archeon, then ascends through amoebas, worms, frogs, birds, monkeys and AI, examining successively smarter ways of thinking. The authors explain the mathematical principles generating conscious experience and show how these principles led cities and democratic nations to develop new forms of consciousness-the self-aware "superminds". Journey of the Mind concludes by contemplating a higher stage of consciousness already emerging-and the ultimate fate of all minds in the universe.

The Sister
The Sister is a fascinating, authoritative account of the spectacular rise of Kim Yo Jong, de-facto deputy to her brother, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, and the most powerful woman in North Korea.
In 2022, in a particularly fiery speech, Kim Yo Jong threatened to nuke South Korea, reminding the world of the dangers posed by her state. But how did the youngest daughter of Dear Leader Kim Jong Il, his ‘sweet princess’, become the ruthless chief propagandist, internal administrator and foreign policymaker for her brother’s totalitarian regime?
The Sister, written by Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar and specialist on North Korea, uncovers the truth about Kim Yo Jong, her close bond with Kim Jong Un and the lessons in manipulation they learned from their father. He also examines the iron grip the Kim dynasty has on their country, the grotesque deaths of family members deemed disloyal, and the signs that Kim Yo Jong has been positioned as her brother’s successor should he die while his own children are young.
Readable and insightful, this book is an invaluable portrait of a woman who might yet hold the survival of her despotic dynasty in her hands.

Human Playground: Why We Play
Why do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, travelling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centred around their games.
Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazare, and many other athletes in these unusual sports. These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play.
Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.
Cesta pouští
Přestože je období druhé světové války nesmazatelně zatíženo katastrofou šoa, podařilo se neprávem opomíjenému česko-izraelskému spisovateli Otu B. Krausovi (1921 Praha – 2000 Netanja) napsat román, v němž tyto události pro hlavního hrdinu, dospívajícího židovského mladíka Štěpána, představují spíše jen historický kontext. Hrůzy holokaustu, jimiž si Kraus i jeho pozdější žena Dita, „osvětimská knihovnice“, prošli, zůstávají jen jako stín dokreslující tíživou atmosféru doby, v níž Štěpán dospívá. Krausův román je citlivou a sugestivní výpovědí o mladém muži, jehož hledání prvních lásek, vlastní české židovské identity, ale i vztahu k práci, rodičům a určujícím ideologiím 20. století (marxismus, sionismus) je ortenovsky bolestné i krásné zároveň. Štěpán je pro svůj původ vyloučen z gymnázia, posléze před okupací prchne do sovětského Ruska, kde ovšem rychle ze sociálně utopických snů i nepřekročitelné bariéry mezi domácím a cizím vystřízliví. Vrací se do protektorátu, kde jej mezitím postupující represe přivedou k práci na statku v severních Čechách. Zemědělství se objevuje jako motiv téměř ruralisticko-sionistický (Palestina), líčení je ovšem velmi atraktivní a tajemné: na statku sehrávají hlavní roli Němci i čarodějnice – obraz erotického napětí, které si ničím nezadá s žítkovskými bohyněmi, jež český čtenář objeví až několik desetiletí po napsání Cesty pouští . Celý románmetafora ve své kombinaci důvěrného líčení „velkých dějin“ a „individuálních osudů“ připomene vrcholná díla Ferdinanda Peroutky (Oblak a valčík ) či Egona Hostovského, po jejichž bok se v překladu z anglického originálu suverénně řadí.

The Good Enough Job
The Good Enough Job reminds us that the biggest goal of all is to live a life we are happy with, and in which work is but one of the multitude of facets that make us who we are. An antidote to the toxic #hustle movement convincing us all we need to find fulfilment in the office, it denounces the dangers of burnout linked to those of us who cannot answer the question: beyond work, what's left?
Conversations of burnout have bubbled to the top of the cultural zeitgeist as the line between work and not-work continues to blur. Burnout and workaholism are symptoms of a deeper root cause: a lack of separation between who we are and what we do. This book is not a credo against looking to work for fulfilment, nor is it in favour of treating work as a necessary evil. It is a guide to developing a healthier relationship to work through the stories of people who have successfully done so. These are stories that invite us to re-evaluate what makes us happy, and how we can work to live, rather than the other way round.
Rome
Matthew Rice is a long-time observer and illustrator of cities, buildings and all those who inhabit them, with an uncanny ability to express the energy of a place through a few lines of ink and splashes of paint. In the first book in this new sketchbook series, he explored the glittering canals of Venice: now he turns his attention to Rome, the Eternal City.
Rome is a place where the ancient, the baroque and the modern clash, and this tension runs through Matthew's paintings. In this guide, he makes sly juxtapositions of people and animals against the backdrop of the city's architectural and artistic wonders, its ruins and its ristoranti. Matthew's ability to notice detail, his sense of light and dark, his expert's knowledge of architecture and how it creates an atmosphere allows him to present Rome, in these pages, in its all its living, breathing splendour.
Following the same landscape format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, Rome: A Sketchbook will combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed, personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to Rome, armchair or actual.

From these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.
Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions modern life gives us.
