The Living Declaration: A Biography of America''s Founding Text
INDEPENDENCE WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING: A historian and former presidential speechwriter traces the origins and legacy of the words and ideas that made America. Illustrations and close readings of 68 original texts offer new insights on the American Revolution, the Civil War, and other key moments and figures in American history.We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . all men are created equal . . . with certain inalienable rights . . . life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” 250 years after they were written, these words remain at once familiar and startling. What do they mean to us today? Do we understand them in the same way the Founders did? Historian and former presidential speechwriter Ted Widmer seeks to answer these questions by returning to where the nation’s story began, the Declaration of Independence, to trace the remarkable history of how it came to be and how it has shaped the democratic aspirations of Americans and others for more than two centuries. Weaving together more than sixty fascinating original texts, Widmer finds in the words of succeeding generations of Americans—radicals and conservatives, revolutionary insurgents and civil rights leaders, presidents and philosophers—the key to understanding the extraordinary durability of America’s founding ideas.An expert guide, Widmer introduces us to: the revolutionary writings that set the stage for the Declaration Noah Webster, of dictionary fame, offering a surprising definition of “equality”the true story of a fake declaration of independence “discovered” in Mecklenburg, North Carolina, in 1819 searing challenges to the Declaration’s philosophical claims by Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton radically divergent readings of the Declaration that contributed to the Civil War, and Abraham Lincoln’s vision of a “new birth of freedom”the ways in which the Declaration inspired civil rights activists in the twentieth and twenty-first centurieshow the Declaration inspired democratic aspirations globally.The voices gathered here are impassioned and often disagree, but they are united in the belief that the Declaration has something crucial to tell us about the American people and the larger struggle for human freedom. “They speak to us,” Widmer writes, “and they talk to each other as well, in a conversation that will never end.”
Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones
One determined goddess. Two beloved gods. Three coveted thrones. Ancient Egypt’s most formidable goddess will stop at nothing to save her true love from the wrath of a vengeful god in this romantic retelling by the author of Neferura, perfect for readers who loved Lilith.Isis, goddess of thrones and magic, steals the crown of Egypt and hands the power to her husband, Osiris. Together, Isis and Osiris live an idyllic life, ruling justly until the god of chaos, set on revenge for a crime Isis knows nothing about, traps Osiris in a box—a box that quickly vanishes.Driven by rage and desperation, Isis spends decades disguised as a human woman, isolated from home and family as she searches for her lost love. When she finally uncovers the box, what she finds will change her life—and the fate of gods and mortals—forever. Unless Isis can right the wrongs of a betrayal she didn’t commit and deliver Egypt into the hands of a worthy leader, Egypt will fall into chaos. Isis of Egypt: Goddess of Thrones is a feminist retelling about the woman behind one of the ancient world’s most widespread and enduring cults, a goddess whose message of empathy and resilience resonates still today.
Foundling Fathers
When a radical think tank clones America''s founding fathers, The Boys from Brazil meets the bicentennial in this ingeniously satirical mashup of U.S.history, cloning, and technocracy gone terribly wrong. The trouble starts when a curious teenager, Benjamin, finds an iPhone in his privy. The problem is, it''s supposed to be 1750. Ben takes his discovery to his brothers - Thomas, John, and George. The boys have been raised in isolation on an island plantation by a firm but kind woman, Mary Libertas. All four of them chafe at Mary''s restrictions upon them - especially Thomas, who has impregnated yet another servant. Meanwhile, their de facto father figure, Jeff Hancock, complains to the shadowy Antediluvian Society that it is past the time to explain to the boys where they come from and what they must do: Run America the way it used to be run. In this more-than-slightly-absurdist novella, Philip K. Dick Award winning author Meg Elison (Find Layla) skewers those looking to an idyllic past to solve the problems they continue to create.

Landscape In Lavender
When society is primed to regard you as an outcast even before a sexually transmitted disease starts killing your gay brothers, coming out of the closet is hard enough - but even that is only the first step. Afterward, it can be challenging to cultivate self-respect, let alone find the lasting love you deserve and the home you crave. In this earnest, hopeful memoir, Brooks Kolb explores the conflict between his personal and professional identities as he traces his round trip journey from Seattle to Paris, Philadelphia, London, and San Francisco against the backdrop of the 1970s sexual revolution and the devastating AIDS pandemic that followed. During his travels, Brooks becomes a landscape architect, comes out of the closet, crosses racial barriers to win lasting love, loses that love, and finds belonging. Along the way he learns that freedom demands that one construct their own morality in the face of social ostracism, that loss is an inherent attribute of love, and that the need to belong can be just as urgent as the need for love. Heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring, Landscape in Lavender will charm readers across generations - LGBTQ+, cisgender, and straight alike - who struggle, or have struggled, to live a truly authentic life.
The Beginnings
The first book in Antonio Moresco''s colossally disruptive Games of Eternity (Giochi del? ternita)trilogy, translated into English for the first time.Upon its publication in Italy, The Beginnings was exactly that: the dawning of a new era. Like a photo-negative of Franz Kafka, or Virginia Woolf, Moresc? sweeping novel turns the stream-of-consciousness inside out, and offers nothing interior. Here, much like in real life, you will not be privy to the thoughts and feelings of others. Everything must be experienced as it happens.From our narrato? undergraduate years in seminary school, to his activities as a member of various Italian political factions, to his attempts to become a writer, The Beginnings is a shapeshifting journey across the 20th century, and across all of literature itself.

Slová, ktoré nepadli
Niektoré príbehy sa nezačínajú výkrikom, ale tichom.
Laura je obyčajné dievča, ktoré sa snaží nájsť svoje miesto vo svete. Má milujúcu rodinu, sny aj talent. No za zatvorenými dverami prežíva niečo, čo si mnohí nevšimnú – tichý boj so sebou samou, so slovami, ktoré boleli viac, než mali, a s pocitmi, ktoré nedokázala vysloviť nahlas.
Šikana, neistota, prvá láska, ktorá viac berie, než dáva, a pocit nutnosti byť „dostatočná“ ju postupne vedú na hranicu, kde prestáva vidieť svetlo. V hlave jej rastie chaos, ktorý nikto nepočuje. A keď slová zostanú nevypovedané, bolesť si vždy nájde inú cestu von.
Slová, ktoré nepadli sú silným a úprimným príbehom o dospievaní, zraniteľnosti a hľadaní vlastnej hodnoty. O tom, aké dôležité je byť vypočutý. A o tom, že aj v tých najtemnejších chvíľach môže existovať cesta späť.
Pre všetkých, ktorí niekedy mali pocit, že ich nikto nepočuje.

Ghost Army
During World War II, a 1,100-man unit known as the Ghost Army was sent to Europe with an important mission: mislead Hitler’s forces as to the size and location of Allied troops so that those troops would have time to carry out urgent plans of their own. This unit of artists, musicians, actors, architects, set designers, and engineers came together to construct “shadow soldiers” and put on a traveling show of deception for over twenty different campaigns throughout the war, using everything from fake radio transmissions to inflatable tanks to convince the enemy of their presence.
Hunt the Ever Wild
When the king calls a hunt for the Lichtenwald forest’s elusive phoenix, wizard Sy jumps at the chance. Years ago, he indentured himself to the crown to pay for his magical education, and an unbreakable spell binds him to carry out the king’s every wicked whim, or face certain death. The prize is enough to pay off his debt, but he can’t survive the forest alone. Seeking help, he finds Anya, a skilled huntress living on the Lichtenwald’s edge, and lies about splitting the prize. But Anya’s lying too. Cursed by a witch after killing her familiar, Anya must find the phoenix and bind it to the witch by the summer solstice, or else suffer a gruesome transformation. With the curse worsening and the Lichtenwald swarming with wizards, she needs Sy on her side – for now. Neither of them can split the prize, nor win alone. And despite the growing attraction between them, betrayal remains their only option. But anything is possible in the forest. And the forest is hungry.

The Public Scholar
A practical guide for scholars ready to write beyond the academy. Public scholarship should not be reserved for celebrity intellectuals or tenured faculty at elite institutions. It's designed for anyone who wants to share their academic work and engage with the public beyond the classroom or conference panel. In The Public Scholar, historian and journalist David M. Perry offers a clear, candid, and practical guide to writing for public audiences. Rather than debating whether academics should write for the public, Perry focuses on the practical details of how to approach public scholarship. How do you pitch a piece to an editor? What counts as evidence in a 900-word op-ed? When should you follow or ignore the rules of the genre? And what happens once your piece is out in the world? Covering the full life cycle of public writing, Perry walks readers through pitching, writing, editing, publishing, building a platform, and navigating the real-world risks and rewards that come with stepping into the public sphere. As the author of multiple best-selling books and over five hundred essays, Perry shares insights that are direct, hard-won, and refreshingly honest. He explains how public-facing work can support an academic career, how it can provide leverage for tenure and promotion, and, importantly, how it can also live outside traditional institutional paths. Perry's accessible approach invites scholars at all stages to consider what public engagement might look like in their own lives. Whether you're hoping to write for major newspapers, connect with communities beyond your discipline, or simply make your research more visible, The Public Scholar offers the right tools to help you get started.

85 Seconds to Midnight
A warning to humankind from one of the world’s greatest physicists'What drives these pages is the guilty conscience of my profession, theoretical physics. My sole aim is to help avert what seems to me to be the unintended, yet scarcely avoidable, end point of the current politics of the governments we have elected: nuclear war.'The world is rearming and embroiled in endless conflict. The Doomsday Clock has now been set to 85 seconds to midnight, with the risk of nuclear war the highest it has ever been. Why do we always fail to learn from the pas? n this urgent book, acclaimed physicist Carlo Rovelli reframes the history of nuclear weapons: from how the atomic bomb was born to why Germany didn't build it and why the US used it, to the narrowly averted disasters of the Cold War and the political brinkmanship careering out of control today. As he grapples with the legacy of his scientific forebears, Rovelli spotlights the true nature of the decisions being made by leaders around the world today. A timely and ardent warning, this searing reckoning with short-sighted politics is essential reading for anyone seeking sanity at our moment of greatest peril.

As she closes in on the heart of a vast conspiracy, private videos of Taylor and her former partner surface online.

Erotikus intelligencia
Vágyhatunk-e arra, ami már a miénk?
Miért nincs szex, ha szeretjük egymást? Miért nem elég a közelség a jó szeretkezéshez? Miért múlik el a vonzalom, miután gyerekünk születik?
E könyv első, 2006-os megjelenése óta 30 nyelven több millió olvasót hódított meg, szerzője, Esther Perel pedig a világ legismertebb párkapcsolati szakértőjévé, valódi ikonná vált. Hatalmas sikerének titka, hogy revelatív válaszokat ad egy gyakran még mindig tabunak számító kérdésre: mit tehetünk, hogy a szexualitás házasságban is a kapcsolódás izgalmas és fontos terepe maradjon, azaz hogyan egyeztethetjük össze biztonság iránti vágyunkat a szabadság és a szenvedély keresésével? A vonzalom fenntartása összetett dolog, mert számos társadalmi, kulturális és pszichológiai hatóerő formálja azt, ami oly intimnek hitt hálószobánk falai között történik: női és férfi szerepeink, családi mintázataink, a szülői lét mindent átható felelőssége vagy éppen a túlzott érzelmi összeolvadás. Ennek ellenére, ahogy ebből a már klasszikussá vált alapműből kiderül, a szex sok együtt töltött év után is lehet játékos, kreatív, érzéki. Perel könyve nemcsak okos és szellemes elméleti munka, hanem izgalmas esetleírások tárháza, amiből mindenki inspirálódhat, aki szeretné elsajátítani a vágy felébresztésének képességét. A nagy sikerű, korábban Szeretkezés fogságban című kötetet most javított kiadásban, jubileumi előszóval kiegészítve vehetik kezükbe a magyar olvasók.
Problémás nyári románc - Éldekorált
Maya Killgore huszonhárom éves, és még nem találta ki, hogy mihez akar kezdeni az életével. Conor Harkness harmincnyolc éves, és folyton ő jár Maya fejében.
Ez akkora klisé, hogy majdnem felrobban a szíve: idősebb férfi és fiatalabb nő, sikeres, biotechnológiával foglalkozó pasi és a küszködő doktorandusz, a báty legjobb barátja és a lány, akinek a létezéséről sem tudott. Conor szereti emlékeztetni arra, hogy a hatalmi különbségek miatt sem működne a kapcsolatuk, és Mayának egyszerűen csak túl kellene lépnie rajta. Hiszen a férfi világossá tette, hogy szeretné, ha eltűnne az életéből. De a látszat néha csal, a klisék pedig néha fordulatokká válnak. Amikor Maya bátyja úgy dönt, hogy Taorminában tartja az esküvőjét, Maya és Conor egy romantikus szicíliai villában kötnek ki egy hétre. Ott, a Jón-tenger gyönyörű partján ősi romokkal, ínycsiklandó ételekkel és természetes barlangokkal körülvéve, Maya rádöbben, hogy Conor talán rejteget előle valamit. Miközben az esküvőn kezdenek kicsúszni a dolgok a kezeik közül, úgy dönt, hogy talán pont egy nyári románcra van szüksége, legyen az bármilyen problémás.
