The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read
Your guide to celebrating and loving your kids more than ever in the weeks, months, and years before they begin their adult livesWe read the parenting books. We cheer from the sidelines. We grow accustomed to the joys and pains of raising toddlers, kids, tweens, and teens. And then, before we know it, it’s our kids’ last first day of school, the last time we’ll watch them take the field, or the last night they sleep at home before heading off to their next adventures. A season of our lives as moms is ending, and we may be mourning its passing. And yet, while our kids still need us—in some ways, more than ever—this stage can also be an opportunity for personal transformation.Author Meagan Francis understands the mixed feelings that come along with this stage. As a mom of five kids ages teen to young adult, she’s been blogging and podcasting about motherhood for more than twenty-five years while going from five kids under her roof to just one. In The Last Parenting Book You''ll Ever Read, Francis will take you by the hand and lead you through the final stage of “active” parenting, as your teenagers prepare to step into the world…and you explore what it means to step back into yourself.The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read is about coming to terms with the many endings that moms of teenagers experience—but more than that, it’s about all the new beginnings on the horizon, and how moms can still hold their families close while letting them go. With compassion for the big feelings that accompany big transitions, Francis helps readers harness some of the mothering energy they’ve been directing toward their children and redirect it back toward nurturing themselves.

Humanity's greatest invention.
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.

"75 príbehov z psychologickej poradne Denníka N"
Nespokojnosť v práci, nevera, bolesť z rozchodu, samota a neúspech pri hľadaní životného partnera, strata pocitu blízkosti v dlhodobom vzťahu či problémy so závislosťou. To všetko je len zlomok z tém, ktoré trápia čitateľov a čitateľky psychologickej poradne Denníka N. Počas dvoch rokov fungovania poradne odpovedali psychologičky Jana Ashford a Lenka Pavuková Rušarová spolu s kolegami Martinom Milerom a Norbertom Uhnákom na desiatky otázok čitateľov a čitateliek, ktorí sa pýtajú: „Ako riešiť komplikovanú situáciu?“ „Čo s tým?“
V knihe nájdete nielen sedemdesiatpäť problematických životných situácií, ale najmä rozmanité životné príbehy ľudí, ktorí sú ako vy. Majú svoje viac alebo menej funkčné rodiny, sú rodičmi a zároveň deťmi, niektorí sa cítia osamelí, iní, naopak, zahltení spoločnosťou, neschopní, nerozhodní, precitlivení. Niektorí nevedia, ako si poradiť s deťmi, iní so súrodencami alebo s kolegami. Všetci však nabrali odvahu pomenovať, čo ich trápi, a hľadať riešenie.
Dúfame, že vás táto kniha inšpiruje k zamysleniu nad vaším vlastným životom, a ako povedal Norbert Uhnák: „Možno sa stane nečakaným zrkadlom, v ktorom môžeme rozpoznať aj vlastnú bytosť a dilemy.“

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.
Mapmatics
How does a delivery driver distribute hundreds of packages in a single day?
Why can maps influence elections?
Where should we look for serial killers?
The answers lie in the connection between maps and maths.
Mathematician Dr Paulina Rowinska explores the mathematical foundations of maps and cartography's impact on mathematics. From sixteenth-century maps which we still use on our phones to public transport maps that both guide and mislead, she uncovers how maps and maths shape our sense of space and time, and our worldview.
Through engaging stories, unforgettable characters and real-world examples, Mapmatics reveals the mathematical techniques behind maps and how they help us better understand - and care for - the world around us.
Wives Like Us
No one knows better than Ian Palmer - Executive Butler - that social position is everything in the rose-strewn Cotswolds.
So when his boss, Tata Hawkins, flounces out of her (new-build) manor house after a row with husband Bryan, Ian is alarmed: for one thing, if Tata is on the social slide downwards, that means he is too; for another, he's lost his home and has nowhere to store his prized collection of vintage Gucci loafers; even worse, a vacuum among the Country Princess set has opened up for a new Queen Bee.
With the old-money Pennybacker-Hoare sisters plotting to rid 'their' county of Tata and her ilk, a bikini influencer on the prowl for a husband just like Mr. Hawkins, a glamorous American divorcee threatening to steal Tata's crown, and the heiress-next-door threatening to steal Ian, the Cotswolds are in chaos.
Can Ian restore Tata's country crown and reinstate her to the comforts of the Manor?
Leaders in the Middle East and North Africa
The study of politics in the MENA region has traditionally been dominated by historical and case study approaches. In this innovative book, Özgür Özdamar and Sercan Canbolat instead adopt a social science-based methodology to reconsider the dynamics of power and leadership in Africa and the Middle East. By analysing the psychological profiles of fourteen leaders across eight countries and three non-state organizations, they develop a nuanced portrait of modern leadership. Using this approach, the authors are able to draw connections between apparently disparate political ideologies, from Sunni Islamism to Shia revolutionism, from secular nationalism and armed non-state groups. Demonstrating the previously unacknowledged commonalities and divergences in these leaders'' approaches, Özdamar and Canbolat illuminate their tactics and strategies and offer novel insights into how best to negotiate with them.
Democracy for a Sustainable World
The path to global sustainable development is participatory democratic global governance ? the only truly effective path to confronting pandemics, military conflict, climate change, biodiversity loss, and potential overall ecological collapse. Democracy for a Sustainable World explains why global democracy and global sustainable development must be achieved and why they can only be achieved jointly. It recounts the obstacles to participatory democratic global governance and describes how they can be overcome through a combination of right representation and sortition, starting with linking and scaling innovative local and regional sustainability experiments worldwide. Beginning with a visit to the birthplace of democracy in ancient Athens, a hillside called the Pnyx, James Bacchus explores how the Athenians practiced democratic participation millennia ago. He draws on the successes and shortfalls of Athenian democracy to offer specific proposals for meeting today''s challenges by constructing participatory democratic global governance for full human flourishing in a sustainable world.

Land Between the Rivers
Iraq is where civilisation was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed since long before Alexander, and it was here by the waters of Babylon where Judaism was born and the Sunni-Shia schism took its bloody shape. Inspired by extensive reporting from the region and a decade delving deep into its history, Land Between the Rivers chronicles Iraq's uniquely central role on the global stage throughout the past five millennia.
We begin the story with ancient Sumer and Gilgamesh building the walls of Uruk ('Iraq') to make a great name for himself at the edge of historical time. We end it in 1958, as the last royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free and promising capital in the Middle East.
Bartle Bull's remarkable, sweeping achievement reminds us that the region defined by the land between the rivers
has, throughout history, played host to the contest pitting humanism against the machinations of power and fate.

On the Shadow Tracks
''On the Shadow Tracks harnesses the railway lines of Myanmar’s complicated past to its turbulent present, and the result is part travelogue, part history and completely absorbing. An astonishing achievement’Joanna LumleyIn 2016, while working as a journalist in Yangon, Clare Hammond discovered an obscure map that showed a web of new railways spanning the length and breadth of the country - railways not shown on any other publicly available maps. She was determined to uncover the railways'' origins, purpose, and most of all, the silence that surrounded them. She would spend three months travelling on these mysterious railways, and the next five years piecing their story together.Her journey would take her from Myanmar''s tropical south to the embattled mountain towns that border India and China. In dilapidated carriages, along tracks in disrepair, through contested ethnic states and former sites of forced labour, visiting temples, tea shops and festivals, Clare encountered a colourful and contradictory Myanmar through the stories of its people. Simultaneously a lush and evocative travelogue, an unsparing account of Myanmar''s recent history, and an astonishing, conversation-shifting engagement with Britain''s colonial legacy, On the Shadow Tracks is that rare and necessary thing: a book that finds and tells the truth.
