Good Inside : A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be
An Instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller
"This book is for any parent who has ever struggled under the substantial weight of caregiving—which is to say, all of us. Good Inside is not only a wise and practical guide to raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids, it's also a supportive resource for overwhelmed parents who need more compassion and less stress. Dr. Becky is the smart, thoughtful, in-the-trenches parenting expert we've been waiting for!"—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
Dr. Becky Kennedy, wildly popular parenting expert and creator of @drbeckyatgoodinside, shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids and offers practical strategies for parenting in a way that feels good.
Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as "Dr. Becky"—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn't work or simply doesn't feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky's empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them.
Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn't work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans. These techniques don't build the skills kids need for life, or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents' complicated relationships with their own upbringings, and it's easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they're failing their kids. In Good Inside, Dr. Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership.
Offering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.
Among the Meadow People
MANY of these stories of field life were written for the little ones of my kindergarten, and they gave so much pleasure, and aroused such a new interest in "the meadow people," that it has seemed wise to collect and add to the original number and send them out to a larger circle of boys and girls.All mothers and teachers hear the cry for "just one more," and find that there are times when the bewitching tales of animals, fairies, and "really truly" children are all exhausted, and tired imagination will not supply another. In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers.

Ochránce
Bývalý vojenský policista Jack Reacher dorazí autobusem z Nashvillu do nedalekého městečka a vystoupí, aby si koupil kávu. Chce hned pokračovat dál na své nekonečné cestě křížem krážem Spojenými státy. V kapse má roličku bankovek, pas, platební kartu a zubní kartáček a k dispozici všechen čas na světě.
Jenže jeho zastávka nebude tak krátká, jak zamýšlel. Městečko je ochromené kybernetickým útokem, jemuž měl zabránit – ale nezabránil – Rusty Rutherford, který má obecní servery a síť na starosti. Nejenže přišel okamžitě o místo, ale obyvatelé mu také dávají nevybíravě najevo, že by byli nejradši, kdyby vůbec nebyl. Reacher si ho všimne ve chvíli, kdy se Rutherforda kdosi pokusí zavléct do auta a unést.
Únosci ovšem nejsou naštvaní místní lidé, ve hře jsou jiné zájmy, jiné organizace a – jiný stát. Reacher jako vždy doufá, že vše dopadne co nejlépe, ale je připravený i na ten nejhorší konec.

The Canterville Ghost
The Canterville Ghost is a popular 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage.“The Canterville Ghost” is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and the United States minister (ambassador) to the Court of St. James's, Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted country house. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the house, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted it ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, three centuries before. But Mr. Otis dismisses the ghost story as bunk and disregards Lord Canterville’s warnings. When the Otises learn that the house is indeed haunted, they succeed in victimizing the ghost and in disregarding age-old British traditions. What emerges is a satire of American materialism, a lampoon of traditional British values, and an amusing twist on the traditional gothic horror tale.

The Last Witch of Scotland
Inspired by the true story of the last person to be tried and executed as a witch in the British Isles, The Last Witch of Scotland reimagines how Janet Horne came to be accused of witchcraft.
Being a woman was her only crime.
Scottish Highlands, 1727.
In the aftermath of a tragic fire that kills her father, Aila and her mother, Janet, move to the remote parish of Loth, north-west of Inverness. Blending in does not come easily to the women: Aila was badly burned in the fire and left with visible injuries, while her mother struggles to maintain her grip on reality. When a temporary minister is appointed in the area, rather than welcome the two women, he develops a strange curiosity for them that sets them even further apart from the community.
Then arrives a motley troupe of travelling entertainers from Edinburgh, led by the charismatic but mysterious Jack. It is just the distraction Janet, and particularly Aila, needs: for the first time in a long while, their lives are filling with joy and friendship, and a kind of hope Aila hasn't known since her father's death. But in this small community, faith is more powerful than truth, and whispers more dangerous even than fire.
Haunting and deeply moving, The Last Witch of Scotland is a story of love, loyalty and sacrifice, inspired by the true story of the last person to be executed for witchcraft in Britain.
Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Mercies and The Witches of Vardo, or for anyone with an interest in the history of witchcraft, late renaissance Scotland and Highland history.

Beatles, The - Abbey Road (50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set) 3LP
Jedna z nejdůležitějších kapel hudební historie Beatles 27. září vydává reedici slavného alba Abbey Road. Ikonická fotografie kapely přecházející přes přechod pro chodce byla totiž vyfocena fotografem Ianem Macmillanem 27. září přesně před 50 lety. Macmillan balancující na žebříku kousek od přechodu v ulici Abbey Road, kde se nachází dnes již stejnojmenná slavná nahrávací studia, zachytil pouze šest fotografií, přičemž na cover alba byla vybrána pátá z nich.
Abbey Road nebylo sice posledním albem kapely, neboť o rok později v roce 1970 vyšla ještě deska Let It Be, ale jedná se o poslední album, na kterém ještě spolupracovali všichni členové kapely - John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney a George Harrison - společně. Abbey Road, které debutovalo na první příčce britských i amerických žebříčků, kde se drželo 17 týdnů, se vylisovaly miliony kusů, v roce 1995 si deska vysloužila uvedení do Grammy Hall of Fame za nahrávku neupadající kvality a historického významu a album dodnes zůstává nejprodávanější studiovou deskou kapely. Snímek z obalu alba se stal jednou z nejslavnějších fotografií a ikonický přechod je každoročně hojně navštěvovaným místem tisíců fanoušků kapely. Studia byla z původních EMI Recording Studios přejmenována na Abbey Road Studios a stala se nejslavnějšími nahrávacími studii na světě.
Všech sedmnáct skladeb bylo nově zmixováno producentem Gilesem Martinem - synem legendárního producenta George Martina, který s Beatles od samých začátků pracoval. „Kouzlo vychází z rukou, které hrají na nástroje, z prolínání hlasů Beatles, z krásy aranží,” komentuje reedici Martin. „Naším úkolem bylo jenom ujistit se, že všechno bude znít tak čerstvě a chytí vás tak intenzivně, jako v den, kdy byly skladby poprvé nahrány.” Základní sada písní je doplněna o 23 studiových a demo nahrávek, z nichž většina nebyla dříve vydána. Na desce se nachází hity, jako je například Come Together, Here Comes The Sun, Oh! Darling nebo Octopus's Garden.
Deluxe edice alba obsahují knihu s komentářem Paula McCartneyho, historika Beatles Kevina Howletta, poznámky ke každé ze skladeb, esej od hudebního publicisty Davida Hepwortha, která reflektuje vliv alba, dříve nevydané fotografie, které z většiny zachytila Linda McCartney, ručně psané texty, korespondenci Beatles, tehdejší reklamní letáky a mnoho dalšího.

The Grizzly King
As in human life, there are tragedy, and humour, and pathos in the life of the wild; there are facts of tremendous interest, real happenings and real lives to be written about, and very small necessity for one to draw on imagination. (This book was the inspiration for French director Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1988 film The Bear.)

Challenges of mass methanol poisoning outbreaks
Tato monografie shrnuje poučení z české hromadné otravy metanolem se 137 případy a více než 50 úmrtími, což představuje jednu z největších metanolových "epidemií" v XXI. století v celém světě. Specifická oblast studie je definována řadou výzev, jimž čelí zdravotní systémy během vypuknutí hromadných otrav: zpožděný kontakt pacienta s lékařem a nevčasná diagnostika, nespecifické klinické příznaky a symptomy při přijetí, potřeba využití plynové chromatografie pro detekci metanolu, omezená dostupnost některých léčebných metod v menších nemocnicích, nedostatečné důkazy klinické účinnosti a bezpečnosti řady přednemocničních a nemocničních terapeutických opatření, vysoká míra úmrtnosti a podhodnocená prevalence dlouhodobých zdravotních následků u osob, které otravu přežily.

In The Country Of Men
Libya, 1979. Nine-year-old Suleiman's days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood: outings to the ruins surrounding Tripoli, games with friends played under the burning sun, exotic gifts from his father's constant business trips abroad. But his nights have come to revolve around his mother's increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand-where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a portent of grave danger, where his mother frantically burns his father's cherished books, where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day, where his best friend's father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television.In the Country of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.

The luminous life of Lilly Ap
As the clock chimed the turn of the twentieth century, Lilly Nelly Aphrodite took her first breath. Born to a cabaret dancer and soon orphaned in a scandalous double murder, Lilly finds refuge at a Catholic orphanage, coming under the wing of the, at times, severe Sister August, the first in a string of lost loves.
There she meets Hanne Schmidt, a teen prostitute, and forms a bond that will last them through tumultuous love affairs, disastrous marriages, and destitution during the First World War and the subsequent economic collapse. As the century progresses, Lilly and Hanne move from the tawdry glamour of the tingle-tangle nightclubs to the shadow world of health films before Lilly finds success and stardom in the new medium of motion pictures and ultimately falls in love with a man whose fate could cost her everything she has worked for or help her discover her true self.
Gripping and darkly seductive, The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite showcases all the glitter and splendor of the brief heyday of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hollywood to its golden age. As it foreshadows the horrors of the Second World War, the novel asks what price is paid when identity becomes unfixed and the social order is upended.
