What It's Like to be a Bird
The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing—and why: “Can birds smell?”; “Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?”; “Do robins ‘hear’ worms?”
In What It’s Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds—blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees—it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin.
David Sibley’s exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults—including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes—it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action.
Unlike any other book he has written, What It’s Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley’s world of birds.
Its Mine
‘Crypto’, a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered the public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet.
Cryptography has been around for millennia, but Bitcoin only arose in 2009, and it was the spark that has taken crypto from a small group of enthusiasts into a many-tentacled creature, now attaching itself to an astonishing number of projects across all manner of applications, challenging both public and private power centres and long-established norms as it spreads. Starting with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, a whole new host of life-forms have emerged – NFTs, the metaverse, Defi, Web3 and DAOs – all of them changing the very notion of ownership.
It’s Mine digs into the history and concept of ‘ownership’, which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto ‘life-forms’ will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.

The Dos and Donuts of Love
Will Shireen find the recipe for love or disaster on the Junior Irish Baking Show? Delicious food, intense competition and whirlwind romance combine in this heart-warming queer YA love story for fans of Becky Albertalli and Ciara Smith.
A pun-filled YA contemporary romance, The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar finds a teenage girl competing in a televised baking competition, with contestants including her ex-girlfriend and a potential new crush - perfect for fans of The Great British Bake Off and She Drives Me Crazy!
"Welcome to the first ever Junior Irish Baking Show!"
Shireen Malik is still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Chris, when she receives news that she's been accepted as a contestant on a new televised baking competition show. This is Shireen's dream come true! Because winning will not only mean prize money, but it will also bring some much-needed attention to You Drive Me Glazy, her parents' beloved donut shop.
Things get complicated, though, because Chris is also a contestant on the show. Then there's the very outgoing Niamh, a fellow contestant who is becoming fast friends with Shireen. Things are heating up between them, and not just in the kitchen.
As the competition intensifies, Shireen will have to ignore all these factors and more - including potential sabotage - if she wants a sweet victory!
Study for Obedience
A powerful, compressed masterwork for fans of Shirley Jackson and Claire-Louise Bennett
A woman moves from the place of her birth to a remote northern country to be housekeeper to her brother, whose wife has just left him. The youngest child of many siblings - more than she cares to remember - from earliest childhood she has attended to their every desire, smoothed away the slightest discomfort with perfect obedience, with the highest degree of devotion. The country, it transpires, is the country of their family's ancestors, an obscure though reviled people.
Soon after she arrives, a series of unfortunate events occurs - collective bovine hysteria; the demise of a ewe and her nearly-born lamb; a local dog's phantom pregnancy; the containment of domestic fowl; a potato blight. She notices that the local suspicion about incomers in general seems to be directed particularly in her case. What is clear is that she is being accused of wrongdoing, but in a language she cannot understand and so cannot address. And however diligently and silently she toils in service of the community, still she feels their hostility growing, pressing at the edges of her brother's property...

Lacná kniha Ve Věštné běli (-70%)
Náš výbor Ve věštné běli (31 básní) se omezuje jen na básníkovu lyriku. Usiluje o nalezení průniku nejživotnější části Mallarméova básnického odkazu a šťastných překladatelských řešení. A co víc: obraz básníka tak skoupého na slovo o sobě, chce zahlédnout v zrcadlové síni výroků jeho významných předchůdců, současníků i potomků. Knihu doprovází 31 celostránkových reprodukcí děl impresionistů, Mallarméových současníků (ilustrace Edgar Degas, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Odilon Redon, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Félix Vallotton, James Abbott McNeill Whistler), a je vybavena rozsáhlým esejem básníka Vladimíra Janovice, doslovem univerzitní profesorky Jany Nechutové a ediční poznámkou Vladimíra Janovice

Az élet súlya
Agatha Christie olykor új vizekre evezett és Mary Westmacott álnéven finom rajzolatú, lélektani regényeket is papírra vetett. A titokzatosság homályából kibomló történetek főhősei látszólag hétköznapi emberek, ám mindegyikük életére elhallgatott igazságok terhe vet sötét árnyékot. Az izgalom lassú-lusta, majd egyre erőteljesebb fokozása nem kell, hogy gyilkosságig vigye a történetet; a krimi koronázatlan királynője hullák nélkül is sorsfordító konfliktus elé állít mindenkit.
Laura a másodszülött gyermek. Édesanyjának bátyja a kedvence, aki akár az angyalok, szőke, kékszemű és csupa élet. Laura kiskorától kezdve azt hallja: "Igen, Laura is aranyos, csak olyan színtelen." Aztán meghal váratlanul a fiúcska és Laura rövid ideig központi szereplő lesz. Majd megszületik a kishúga, Shirley. Aki Laura kétségbeesésére olyan elragadó kisbaba, hogy az egész család kedvence lesz. Laura gyűlöli a testvérét, de aztán történik valami szerencsétlenség, aminek hatására megváltoznak az érzelmei. Gyerekfővel megesküszik magának, hogy minden erejével szeretni és védelmezni fogja.
Shirley az igazi "legkisebb gyermek". Önálló és dacosan szabadságpárti. Szerelme megválasztásakor is az. Laura önként mond le a világról, hogy állandóan csak azt figyelje, mi jó a testvérének. Miért lesz mégis mindenki boldogtalan? Hol a határ önzés és szeretet között?

A Botanical Daughter
Mexican Gothic meets The Lie Tree by way of Oscar Wilde and Mary Shelley in this delightfully witty horror debut. A captivating tale of two Victorian gentlemen hiding their relationship away in a botanical garden who embark on a Frankenstein-style experiment with unexpected consequences.
It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor’s business is exotic plants – lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he’s seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter.
Driven by the glory he’ll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate.
The experiment – or Chloe, as she is named – outstrips even Gregor’s expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor’s experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?
Told with wit and warmth, this is an extraordinary tale of family, fungus and more than a dash of bloody revenge from an exciting new voice in queer horror.
