Presence
A psychologist sets out to understand the uncanny phenomenon of felt presence. We all know the feeling: you’re alone but it’s like there’s someone there with you – a mysterious presence lurking just out of sight. Throughout history this experience has been the subject of religious and supernatural speculation.
But does science have the answer?In Presence, psychologist Ben Alderson-Day digs into historical accounts and contemporary cases of ‘felt presence’, hunting for the key to unlock this strange phenomenon. He interviews ultrarunners and ocean rowers, who often report the sensation of being accompanied on their journeys, and examines the latest work on sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson’s, conditions closely associated with feeling the presence of someone or something that isn’t there. His findings, built on cutting-edge research from psychology and neuroscience, provide remarkable new insights into this longstanding mystery of the human mind.
The Return of the Housewife
An illuminating look at the world of cleanfluencers that asks why the burden of housework still falls on women. Housework is good for you. Housework sparks joy.
Housework is beautiful. Housework is glamorous. Housework is key to a happy family.
Housework shows that you care. Housework is women’s work. Social media is flooded with images of the perfect housewife.
TikTok and Instagram ‘cleanfluencers’ produce endless photos and videos of women cleaning, tidying and putting things right. Figures such as Marie Kondo and Mrs Hinch have placed housework, with its promise of a life of love and contentment, at the centre of self-care and positive thinking. And yet housework remains one of the world’s most unequal institutions.
Women, especially poorer women and women of colour, do most low-paid and unpaid domestic labour. In The return of the housewife, Emma Casey asks why these inequalities matter and why they persist after a century of dramatic advances in women’s rights. She offers a powerful call to challenge the prevailing myths around housework and the ‘naturally competent’ woman homemaker.

Party of One
From one of the most admired reporters covering China today, a vital new account of the life and political vision of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of the People's Republic whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies.
Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China's Superpower Future shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world's most secretive political organizations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi during his early years in power, projecting their own hopes that he would steer China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics. Having masked his beliefs while climbing the party hierarchy, Xi has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a personality cult around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits-stirring fears of a return to Mao-style dictatorship. Today, the party of Xi favors political zeal over technical expertise, trumpets its faith in Marxism, and proclaims its reach into every corner of Chinese society with Xi portraits and hammer-and-sickle logos. Under Xi, China has challenged Western preeminence in global affairs and cast its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation.
As a China reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Chun Han Wong has chronicled Xi's hardline strategy for crushing dissent and his political repression in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Wong spent five years in Beijing before the Chinese government forced him to leave mainland China in 2019, after which he moved to Hong Kong and continued writing about Xi's leadership. Now, Wong has drawn on his years of first-hand reporting across China to create a lucid and historically-rooted account of China's leader, and how he inspires fear and fervor in his party, his nation, and beyond.
Timely, revelatory, and important, Party of One explains how the future Xi imagines for China will reshape the future of the entire world.

From clay tablets in Mesopotamia to today's cryptocurrency, global economist David McWilliams takes us on an epic journey of innovation, disruption and transformation that is an astonishing new history of our species.

Tenderly I am Devoured
'Using lyrical prose that hums with tension and chemistry, Clipstone crafts an immersive and captivating queer gothic romance.' Starred Review, Publisher's Weekly
Perfect for fans of Saltburn, For the Wolf and House of Hollow, Tenderly I Am Devoured is a lush Gothic romantasy in which a young woman must bind herself to a dangerous chthonic god with the help of the son of a rival family to save her family's legacy -and herself - from ruin.
Expelled from her prestigious boarding school following a violent incident, eighteen-year-old Lacrimosa Arriscane returns home in disgrace to discover her family on the point of financial ruin. Desperate to save them, she accepts a marriage of convenience . . . to Therion, the chthonic god worshipped by Lark's isolated coastal hometown.
But when the betrothal rite goes horribly wrong, Lark begins to vanish from the mortal realm. Her only hope is to seek help from Alastair Felimath: the brilliant, arrogant boy who was her first heartbreak, and his alluring older sister, Camille. As the trio delve into the folklore of gods, Lark falls under the spell of the Felimath siblings.
Ensnared by a fervent romance, they perform a bacchanalia with hopes the hedonistic ritual will repair the connection between Lark and her bridegroom. Instead, they draw the ire of something much darker, which seeks to destroy Therion - and Lark as well.

But when Kate, the eldest, finally returns to buy her late grandfather's home, the dark things each sister has kept buried soon rise to the surface.
Is Kate having unexplained visions tied to a past she can hardly recall? Is Aurora, the married mother of two, finally acting out in the face of her sisters' indiscretions? Is Peggy, the youngest and a recovering addict, able to move on from the memories that haunt her?
And then there's SHE.
SHE is one of them, but SHE is not like them at all. SHE is defined only by the carnage she lets the world see, the murders that have swept through their coastal community. And as the police close in on their newest serial killer, scrutiny lands on the Rowlings, forcing them to face their demons and reveal all they have kept hidden.

Madeline has always been extremely close to her family, so she is shocked when her older brother gets engaged without including them (or even giving them a heads-up!). Mads has never been the biggest fan of his fiancée, Katie, so in order to remain one happy family, she is determined to bond with Katie before the big day, which includes reluctantly agreeing to be a bridesmaid.
During a late-night bridesmaids-only game of "Truth or Dare", Mads is cornered into revealing she has never been kissed or even been on a date, which spurs the other girls to unite on a quest to find Mads the perfect plus-one for the wedding. Next thing she knows, she's navigating a series of disastrous dates that include some major misunderstandings and mishaps.
All of a sudden Mads finds her heart tugged in different directions: to Connor, the boy next door who knows her best. To Marco Álvarez, the former classmate who knows how to push all her buttons. And to some of the new suitors, who surprisingly aren't all bad.
As the wedding draws nearer, Mads has to figure out who she wants most as a forever dance partner, while also making sure her brother isn't making the biggest mistake of his life.

Door of Bruises - Thornchapel Book 4
From the author of the USA Today bestselling Priest and New Camelot series comes the fourth and final book in a high-heat, gothic, dark academia fairy tale full of lantern-lit rituals, foggy moors, and obsessions that last for a lifetime.
***
Twelve years ago, their fates were sealed with a kiss.
They are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do them part. Auden Guest's heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian - even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.
Delphine has fled back home, and Becket's holy calling is in peril.
And now only Rebecca and Auden remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.
The door is open. The door that shouldn't exist; the door that people have died to close. Auden doesn't feel like the lord of the manor. He doesn't feel like a king or a wild god. He is a friend and a boyfriend and a brother - and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn't care about his guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice he'll make to close it.
As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of their circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And Auden must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if he must face it alone.
Here at Thornchapel, the kings must go to the door.
Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.
The insatiably sexy Thornchapel series concludes with Door of Bruises - a spicy dark academia romance full of enrapturing passion and enemies to lovers drama.

Posilování s kettlebellem na anatomických základech
Kettlebelly se za poslední dekádu stávají v silovém tréninku stále populárnějšími,
protože umožňují napodobovat pohyby z reálného života, což z nich činí extrémně
efektivní formu cvičení. Na rozdíl od činek, kde je váha rovnoměrně rozložena na obou
koncích rukojeti, má kettlebell asymetrický design a posunuté těžiště. Kompenzace
nerovnoměrné zátěže vyžaduje, abyste při cvičení vyvinuli zvýšené úsilí, čímž zároveň
roste vaše síla, pohyblivost i stabilita.
V této publikaci naleznete všechny cviky s kettlebellem od mrtvého tahu až po trh nad hlavu. Více než 100 barevných anatomických ilustrací znázorňuje nejen správné provedení každého pohybu, ale také zapojené svaly a úroveň obtížnosti. Variace vám umožní upravit cvičení tak, aby lépe vyhovovalo vašim individuálním potřebám.
Uvnitř najdete:
? znázornění primárních i sekundárních svalů a pojivových tkání zapojených při cvičení
? vysvětlení provedení každého cviku krok za krokem
? doporučení pro bezpečnou manipulaci s nářadím
? informace o zaměření cvičení, které ukazuje, jak daný cvik přispívá při přípravě v rámci
konkrétních sportů a pohybových aktivitách
? kapitolu věnovanou mobilizačním cvikům, které pomáhají znovu nastavit potřebné
nervosvalové vzorce, zlepšit pohybový rozsah a připravit tělo na další trénink
Cvičení s kettlebellem dodá vašemu tréninku jistotu a sílu, rozvine dynamický pohyb a zlepší pohyblivost.
Ať vás provází síla kettlebellu!

Szlovákiai magyar szép irodalom 2025
Spoločnosť maďarských spisovateľov sa v r. 2004 podujala na literárno-edičný čin zostaviť a vydať v každom roku jednu zbierku z básní a krátkych próz od autorov píšucich a publikujúcich v maďarskom jazyku – a teraz sa zaznamenávame už dvanásty ročník tejto edície.
To, čo sa zdalo na začiatku ako dobrý nápad: zozbierať, vytriediť a predostrieť čitateľom literatúru v podobe najčerstvejšej suroviny, odstupom času sa javí ako vzácny pokus vytvárania akejsi tradície v pohybe. Ťažiskom výberu je opäť tvorba neveľkej skupiny autorov vyčleňujúcich sa a patriacich do absolútnej špičky literatúry na základe estetického prínosu, spomeňme texty Árpáda Tőzséra, Lászlóa Tótha, Imre Vargu, Karola Fellingera, Zoltána Szalayho, Istvána Z. Németha, Károlya Kövesdiho...
