Intentional Living
A great believer in soulful connection, Jayne Wallace has a grab-bag of spiritual tools she is sharing for the first time with women who are stressed out, time-poor and want to bring more meaning into their lives.
Remember how rested you felt after your yoga retreat weekend, energised after your cold water swim or nourished after your cacao ceremony? Intentional Living gives you the tools to make those once-a-year epiphanies into daily must-haves.
Jayne herself is a hardworking, straight-talking businesswoman who is the founder and CEO of the company Psychic Sisters. She knows what it's like to feel tired and listless. Through 8 intentions she has set for you, she shows you how to harness the power of manifestation, tarot, cyclical energy and the natural world to make your aspirations a reality and become the best version of yourself. With tools from her toolkit bag such as 'Find your yoga' and 'Sustain the glow', she teaches us how to harness our intuition, gain self-knowledge and live a life of clarity.
She tells us about her own personal story, her dyslexia at school destroying her self-confidence and making her a target for bullies. She explains how her journey towards self-esteem, which has found her with a concession at Selfridges for the last 18 years, a company with partnerships with multiple retailers and brands and backing from two dragons from Dragon's Den, could not have been achieved without her bag of toolkits.
Intentional Living is a soothing guide that celebrates key daily practices and rituals that can help us to restore harmony and transform our lives for the better.
A History of Women in 101 Objects
A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023
This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular. A journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women.
Open up this cabinet of curiosities and you'll find objects that have been highly esteemed and others that are humble and domestic. Some (like a sixteenth century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it; examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation; objects that are inspiring, curious or (like radium-laced chocolate) just fundamentally ill-conceived. In this compendium, Annabelle Hirsch reveals a new history - teeming, unexpected, witty and always illuminating.
The Essential Guide to Kinship Care
You might just have been told that someone needs you to care for a child or have been caring for a child for quite some time. Maybe you know the child, perhaps you are their grandparent? Or maybe the child is connected to someone in your family, but you hardly know them.You may have a lot of conflicting feelings. Maybe you are relieved that the child is with you, or perhaps you feel resentment at the interference of others? It might all be rather overwhelming, even if you have been a kinship carer for quite some time. Whatever the situation, when Kinship Care is sought, it can often come out of the blue. Sarah Naish and Enza Smith provides the answers to all of your burning questions. Dip-in dip-out sections help you with the immediate hurdles you might face, such as bereavement, issues with drugs or alcohol, child abuse, and more as well as challenges which may arise later in your kinship care journey. This book fills the information vacuum of support and ensures you always have an easy-to-access comforting friend within its pages.
Pornography
'Pornography is the orchestrated destruction of women's bodies and souls … it is war on women'
Pornography, Andrea Dworkin argued in this landmark work, is about power: the power of owning, of money, of sex. It is not merely violence against women, but the essential DNA of male dominance. As images of women's bodies continue to be manipulated and consumed, her searing, fearless critique of pornographic media is more urgent and discomfiting than ever.
Escape From Shadow Physics
The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects - indeed, reality itself - aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it.
And yet it remains one of the most influential ideas in science and our culture. In Escape from Shadow Physics, Adam Forrest Kay takes up Einstein's torch: reality isn't mysterious or dependent on human measurement, but predictable and independent of us. At the heart of his argument is groundbreaking research with little drops of oil.
These droplets behave as particles do in the long-overlooked quantum theory of pilot waves; crucially, they display quantum behaviour while being described by classical physics. What if the original doubters of our quantum orthodoxy (not least Einstein himself) were onto something? What if pilot wave theory was right all along? In that case, our whole story of twentieth-century physics is topsy-turvy and we must give up the idea that reality is simply too weird to grasp. Weird it may still be, but a true understanding of nature now seems within our reach.
How Life Works
A cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what life is - from Science Book Prize winner Philip Ball.
Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.
In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.
Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.
Anaximander
Now widely available in English for the first time, this is Carlo Rovelli's first book: the thrilling story of a little-known man who created one of the greatest intellectual revolutions
Over two thousand years ago, one man changed the way we see the world.
Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed in the heavens above and the Earth below. Then, on the Ionian coast, a Greek philosopher named Anaximander set in motion a revolution. He not only conceived that the Earth floats in space, but also that animals evolve, that storms and earthquakes are natural, not supernatural, that the world can be mapped and, above all, that progress is made by the endless search for knowledge.
Carlo Rovelli's first book, now widely available in English, tells the origin story of scientific thinking: our rebellious ability to reimagine the world, again and again.
Right-Wing Women
'Feminism is hated because women are hated'
Why do some women support Right-wing movements, even though they curtail their freedoms? Andrea Dworkin's timeless, visionary analysis goes to the heart of this contradiction, exploring the Right's positions on abortion, sexuality, racism and antifeminism, and showing how it attempts both to exploit and to quiet women's deepest fears of male violence. The Right-wing woman, Dworkin contends, acquiesces to male authority for protection and some semblance of power: because 'survival depends on it'.
A Medieval Life
A Medieval Life: William de Felton and Edlingham Castle, 1260–1327 is a biography of a little-known man living in late thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century Britain. William’s precise birth and death dates are unrecorded, his place of origin has for a long time been unclear, and his parentage is still uncertain. Although somewhat wealthy and privileged, William does not represent either the high aristocracy or the ‘great and the good’ of his time, and a central theme of this book is how to write a biography of someone relatively anonymous in the Middle Ages. There are plenty of books about kings, queens and battles; this book offers a different perspective.Its origin lies in archaeological excavations between 1978 and 1982 at Edlingham, Northumberland. The first house here, which grew to be called a castle, was built in the years around 1300. It was abandoned before the 1660s after less than four centuries of habitation, and nearly three centuries before it was uncovered by excavation. This book is not an excavation report, however, nor an architectural survey, but an attempt to ‘excavate’ the buried and concealed life of the castle’s founder, and to understand the unusual building he created. It is a biographical approach to history framed by archaeological and landscape perspectives: the biography of one man, which illuminates the lives of those around him and serves as a biography of a place and landscape.William de Felton’s story can be told because he was unexpectedly well documented. His career as a middle-ranking servant in the royal households of Edward I and Edward II, combined with the bureaucratic habits of the king’s clerks, has bequeathed to historians two hundred documents that mention him. These documents are often individually banal, but taken together, and with other documentary evidence for William’s family, neighbours, friends and colleagues, they enable a reconstruction of his life. They show us William as husband and father, as a landowner, and as a traveller moving with the king’s armies and household from his native Shropshire, widely around England, into Wales, France, Flanders and Scotland, perhaps slightly contrary to the idea that medieval people travelled little. William began his career as an usher in the king’s bedchamber, and for many years was a soldier during Edward I’s ‘forever wars’, the early attempt to create by force a single nation on the British islands. He was an administrator or governor of occupied territories in Wales and Scotland, and later a local official in his adopted Northumberland. He was also a builder, notably for the king in Gascony and other places, but also in his own right, at Edlingham Castle, the centre-piece of this book, now an English Heritage public property.
Psilocybinová spojka
Komplexní průvodce psilocybinovými houbami a jejich vlivem na psychologii, biologii a sociální vývoj člověka. Jak a proč psychedelika existují? Byl psilocybin katalyzátorem sociálního vývoje našich nejstarších předků? Jak může integrální chápání psychedelik doslova změnit svět?
Ve svém ambiciózním a komplexním průvodci psilocybinem se doktor Jahan Khamsehzadeh podrobně věnuje tomu, jak se lidstvo vyvíjelo společně s „kouzelnými“ houbami, zkoumá náš historické vztahy k psychedelikům a zároveň představuje nové poznatky o tom, co pro nás psilocybin může znamenat dnes.
Autor předkládá přesvědčivé výzkumy, které ukazují, že přirozeně se vyskytující psychedelika mohla hrát zásadní roli v sociální, kulturní a jazykové evoluci lidstva. S podporou archeologických důkazů, neurověd a akademických studií zkoumá, jak houby přispěly ke vzniku umění a vyjadřování, ovlivnily duchovní prožitky, a dokonce podnítily vývoj lidského mozku.
Khamsehzadeh spojuje nejobsáhlejší a nejaktuálnější výzkumy psilocybinu se svým vlastním psychedelickým probuzením i podobnými příběhy dalších lidí a posouvá naše chápání psychedelik nečekaným a originálním způsobem směrem k úplně nové, nadějné a úžasné budoucnosti.
Čierne diery
Profesori Brian Cox a Jeff Forshaw vás v tejto fascinujúcej knihe vezmú na vedeckú výpravu naprieč storočím fyziky od čias Einsteina až po Hawkinga a ešte ďalej – až k samotným hraniciam nášho poznania najzáhadnejších výtvorov prírody – čiernych dier.
V srdci našej Galaxie je miesto, v ktorom dochádza k búrlivému narušeniu priestoru a času – miesto, kde sa zrážajú zákony gravitácie, kvantovej fyziky a termodynamiky, a jeho tajomstvá stále čakajú na odhalenie.
Čierne diery sú 4 miliónkrát väčšie ako Slnko. Ide o prirodzené výtvory gravitácie, ktoré vznikajú, keď sa príliš veľa hmoty zrúti do primalého priestoru. A predsa, hoci ich prírodné zákony predpokladajú, nedokážeme ich opísať. Pôvodne sa dokonca tvrdilo, že neexistujú, a Einstein veril, že v ich vnútri sa skrýva koniec času. V posledných rokoch však výskum značne pokročil a objavilo sa hlboké spojenie medzi gravitáciou a kvantovou teóriou.
Vďaka tejto knihe sa oboznámite s čiernymi dierami tak, ako nikdy predtým a dospejete k prekvapivému záveru, že pravda o nich môže byť ešte bizarnejšia, ako sa predpokladalo – možno nás spájajú s inými vesmírmi.

Dejiny Rimanov od založenia mesta XVII-XX
Titus Livius (59 pred Kr. – 17 po Kr.)
Titus Livius sa narodil v Pataviu, v mladosti študoval filozofiu a rétoriku, ktorú neskôr aj vyučoval. Po príchode do Ríma za vlády Augusta, prvého rímskeho cisára, sa upriamil na históriu a začal spisovať rímske dejiny od najstarších čias. V Ríme si našiel mnoho priateľov, ktorí ho v jeho zámere podporovali a spriatelil sa aj so samotným Augustom. Dejinám Rimanov od založenia mesta (Ad Urbe condita) venoval celú životnú energiu a pracoval na nich až do svojej smrti. Livius sa hneď od počiatku presadil medzi čitateľmi a poslucháčmi svojím štýlom a jeho dielo sa predčítalo na početných schôdzkach. Dejiny spisoval systematicky od najstarších čias až do svojej prítomnosti a do konca života stihol napísať 142 kníh, pričom posledná z nich končila udalosťami z roku 9 pred Kr.
Livius sa rozhodol dejiny spisovať pútavým spôsobom, a ako znalcovi rétoriky sa mu to podarilo. Snažil sa vžívať do historických udalostí a osobností a podávať o ich konaní čo najvýstižnejší popis, tak akoby ich oživoval a vdychoval im život, a svojím spisovateľským umením ich kriesil a robil nesmrteľnými. Liviove dejiny majú plynulý dej a autor ich spestroval rôznymi príbehmi o výnimočných skutkoch mnohých osobností.
Livius zhrnul do svojich Dejín všetky najvýznamnejšie udalosti najstaršej rímskej histórie až do jeho súčasnosti. Stal sa najvýznamnejším dejepiscom svojej doby a väčšina diel starších dejepiscov pre obľubu jeho Dejín upadla do zabudnutia. Z Liviovho diela neskôr čerpali mnohí ďalší spisovatelia. A hoci sa nezachovalo celé, dodnes je cenným zdrojom poznania najstaršej rímskej histórie.
Knihy XVII – XX sa zaoberajú udalosťami v rozmedzí rokov 260 – 219 pred Kr. Opisujú udalosti prvej púnskej vojny, boje na Sardínii a Korzike, vojny s predalpskými Galmi a Ligúrmi a vojenské výpravy v Ilýrii a Histrii.
Practicing Social Ecology
'Inspiring […] A powerful call to action for all who believe we can create a more democratic and ecological society' - Debbie Bookchin, journalist, author, daughter of Murray BookchinHow can we unlock society’s potential to shift the course of the climate crisis? So many of us feel helpless in the face of corporate-fuelled environmental destruction. However, Practicing Social Ecology shows that there is an amazing well of untapped power in our communities—we just need to know how to use it. Drawing from her experience of working in democratic ecology movements from the revolution in Rojava to Barcelona’s municipalist movement, Finley shows how to develop assemblies, confederations, study groups, and permaculture projects. Looking to history, she maps out how social ecologists, such as Murray Bookchin, have led inspirational struggles around climate and energy, agriculture and biotechnology, globalization, and economic inequality. This guide is perfect for anyone curious about how to challenge unending capitalist growth through the democratic power of social ecology.
Contemporary Non-Positivism
This Element defends and clarifies the thesis that the legality of a system of rules depends on its moral features. Positivists who deny this dependence struggle to explain: (1) the traditional classification of moral norms as a form of a priori law; (2) judicial reliance on moral norms in legal discovery; (3) persistent theoretical disagreement about intra-systemic, law-determining facts; (4) why radically arbitrary or immoral schemes of social organization represent borderline cases of law; and (5) why law, like other artifacts, can be evaluated in a kind-relative sense (?as law?). Meanwhile, traditional versions of non-positivism overstate the dependence going further than the desiderata warrant. A moderate theory is formulated: law is an artifact whose existence depends on adequately performing an essentially normative function. The theory''s justification lies in its explanatory power: a comparison with other ?value-driven? artifacts, such as artworks, proves vital for understanding legal language, reasoning, and practice.
Wrong Women
<p><b>'I found it fascinating - it's an integral part of the history of Dublin that has been lost to time for too long' - Rick O'Shea</b><br><br><b>A feminist history of Europe's largest red-light district and an examination of the lives of the women who worked there.</b><br><br>Tucked away in Dublin's north inner city, Monto - purported to be Europe's biggest red-light district from 1860 to 1925 with up to 1600 sex workers at any one time - made headlines for wild tales of debauchery. However, what happened to the women and girls within its brothels in life and death is less clear.<br><br>This account balances the historical origins of Monto's rise and fall with an investigation into the inhumane and heartbreaking reality of the treatment of the women that worked there, while delving into the impact of class, sexual violence and British colonialism on the women's survival. West explores the stigma and violence the women and girls of Monto endured, and investigates the shocking claims surrounding their treatment by medial professionals.<br><br>Weaving together oral histories, historical records, fashion trends and family memories, this book brings the women of Monto to life within its pages as it explores how they lived, worked, loved, dressed, mourned and built a tight-knit community.</p>
The Hidden Globe
Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist's riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it.
The map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens' rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, however, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence, consisting of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful.
Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of the hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed the commodity they had-bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Following its evolution around the world, she reveals how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists, visionary statesmen, and consultants masterminded its export in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centers where immigrants languish in limbo, and charter cities controlled by by foreign governments and multinational foreign corporations-and even into outer space, where tiny Luxembourg aspires to mining rights on asteroids.
By mapping the hidden geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order-and how it might be otherwise-The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires.
The Furies
‘An important and deeply moving book’ Telegraph‘This gripping, inflaming book, itself an act of fury, shows how revenge can transmute into politics or be crushed by it’ Larissa MacFarquharBrittany Smith, a young woman from Stevenson, Alabama, killed a man she said raped her in her own home, but was denied the protection of a self-defense argument. Angoori Dahariya led a gang in Uttar Pradesh, India, dedicated to avenging victims of domestic abuse. Cicek Mustafa Zibo fought in a thousands-strong all-female militia that battled ISIS in Syria. Can women’s acts of vengeance help to create lasting change in their communities, or will they ultimately hurt their caus? n this profoundly moving book, award-winning journalist Elizabeth Flock explores the stories of three women living in deeply patriarchal places with destructive cultures of honour, places in which institutions – government, police, courts – failed to protect women from violence, leaving them no option but to stand up and protect themselves.
