The Beatles by Jim Marshall
Relive The Beatles' last live public concert through the eyes of the ultimate rock 'n' roll photographer Jim Marshall. This deluxe volume collects over 150 photos and proof sheets, half of them never before seen.
Jim Marshall's photographs of The Beatles' 1966 concert in San Francisco capture a historic convergence: one of the biggest names in music photography and one of the most beloved bands in history. Specially requested as photographer by The Beatles, Marshall immortalized not only the concert itself, but also intimate moments backstage, such as the musicians meeting the Baez sisters and hanging out in the locker room before the show.
This definitive collection presents the photographs at large scale and in the rich high-contrast tones Marshall favored. An in-depth essay by music historian Joel Selvin brings the moment to life. Whether you were there at Candlestick Park or wish you had been, this is your chance to see The Beatles as you've never seen them before.

You Wont Forget Me

All she's ever cared about is making music, but then Cubby's toxic ex-boyfriend and lead of her band abandons the group. What's worse, his solo single launches him into overnight stardom when he sings about how bad she was in bed.
The only thing she can take comfort in is her best friends and fellow bandmates, Darcy and Harry. Then an accidental romantic picture of Cubby and Harry goes viral the same night Cubby and Darcy hook-up - something very normal for two obviously, totally heterosexual gal pals! Now, Cubby and her band unexpectedly find themselves in the spotlight as tabloids eat up their rumoured love triangle.
Under the pressure of newfound fame, all Cubby wants is to turn to Darcy, which is impossible with the distance and awkward tension surrounding the once inseparable pair. Now thrust into a whirlwind tour, Cubby and Darcy have the entire summer to unravel the truth of their feelings... or lose each other forever.
Bookstore Girls
Can two very different women put aside their differences to save the bookstore they love? The Japanese bestseller that kicked off a seven-book series - adapted for TV and 200,000 copies sold
Riko Nishioka is assistant manager of the flagship Pegasus bookstore in Kichijoji. After working her way up from a part-time position, she is now, aged forty, a respected figure in the Japanese publishing industry. But she has a nemesis.
Aki Kitamura, twenty-seven, has waltzed in as a full-time employee thanks to her family connections. A free spirit with a rebellious streak and a silver spoon in her mouth, she's anything but a team player.
The two are always clashing - both at work and over their personal lives. But when Riko is given notice that the store will be closing in six months' time, they face a stark choice.
Can they put their petty enmities aside to boost sales and save their livelihoods or will they go down fighting . . . each other?
Translated from the Japanese by Haydn Trowell
Sparrow on the Rooftop
Rachel Long’s vivid new collection is a study of toxic love, crisis and recovery, at once moving and whip-smart, from one of our brightest stars in poetry.
'At first you eat less because you’re happy, / so fricking happy, the way you are in high summer / when you just can’t because of the sun.'
Sparrow on the Rooftop tells a story of new love: the summer-like giddiness of it, the ferocity of obsession, and the stark hollowing of absence. Alongside this affair, and unleashed by its intensity, unfolds another story, half-buried, about our young narrator’s uneasy relationship with her body: ‘Black girls// don’t get/ eating disorders./ That’s a white girl/ thing.’
Desire, indulgence, denial, and transformation are some of the themes that animate this engrossing, at times frighteningly intimate, narrative collection. With fierce wit and uncommon insight, Sparrow interrogates the self and other, and the experience of self as other. These remarkable, penetrating, headlong poems chart disorder and desire, break-up and breakdown, and the hard path towards recovery, confirming Rachel Long as one of the most gifted poets of her generation.
Výstrahy pred silným vetrom
Príbehy detí z neúplných rodín. Paradoxne však platí, že chýbajúci rodič je prítomný práve svojou neprítomnosťou: ako tieň, ktorý cítia, hoci ho nevidia. Deti pozorujeme v rôznych situáciách — sú ukryté v starej vŕbe, rozšantené na provizórnom ihrisku, v bolestivých kŕčoch prvej menštruácie, v ohrození neznámymi dospelými, či na nočných potulkách, keď sa hra na smrť stane až príliš skutočnou. Postavy vnútorne i navonok zápasia so stratou empatie a s potrebou či nutnosťou pochopiť sa navzájom. Všetky tieto a ďalšie nepríjemné skúsenosti z detstva si so sebou zväčša nesú aj do dospelosti. Súčasnosť je v textoch opísaná bez klišé i bez zľahčovania, autorka píše úsporne, presne, svetonázor detí strieda s realitou dospelých, drsnú reč s tichou introspekciou.
The Wrong Son
The Wrong Son is a memoir of emotional precision - a searching, unsparingaccount of what it means to come into being in the absence of love. In 1963, a young husband loses his pregnant wife and eighteen-month-old sonin a car accident. Six months later, he meets a woman who abandons her ownhusband and child for him - a man who seems to her everything she has everwanted. Within two years, a boy is born into this family of grief and guilt, into a housealready filled with ghosts, where neither parent can see him clearly throughwhat each has lost. His mother demands perfection. His father, meanwhile, decides early on thatthis child exists only because the first one died - and cannot forgive him for it. Moulded by his mother, rejected by his father, he is given no space in which tobecome himself. Throughout his life, no matter how much he tries to invent himself, he is drivenby the fear that nothing real exists underneath. Fifty years on, after his parents'deaths, that fear begins to unmoor him. He turns to the work of psychoanalysts who were pioneers of early childhoodpsychology around the time he was born. Drawing on the insights of D.W. Winnicott and Jacques Lacan, The Wrong Sontraces a life shaped not only by loss and violence, but by psychic damage thatmay never fully be shaken off. With forensic clarity and unexpected humour, The Wrong Son is a quietlydevastating work: deeply human, psychologically attuned, and unafraid to staywith what cannot be resolved.
What is Philosophy of Language?
Language is a major part of what makes us human. We effortlessly attach meaning to sounds and marks, in themselves meaningless, to convey to one another our beliefs, desires, intentions, and other states of mind. How is this amazing feat possibl? laudine Verheggen introduces readers to the fascinating study of language from a philosophical perspective. She sheds light on the nature of linguistic meaning by investigating two broad categories of questions: one concerns the relation between meaning and the extra-linguistic reality language users talk about, the other concerns the relation between meaning and facts about language users themselves. Verheggen explores the views of prominent philosophers and lays the foundations that help us to address questions in an array of other subdisciplines to which philosophy of language is relevant, from psychology to political theory. Throughout, she pays special attention to the many different ways in which words are used, asking whether language is fundamentally a social phenomenon and whether conventions are essential to it. Lively and accessible, built on a strong narrative structure, What is Philosophy of Language? is a key resource for any philosophy student or philosophically minded person with a passion for language.
Saving African Nature
During the colonization of Africa, European colonists set about creating game reserves in Africa, convinced that they would find in Africa a nature that no longer existed in Europe. After independence, and with the help of UNESCO and the WWF, African leaders continued to 'protect' the same nature, a nature that the whole world wanted to be pristine, wild and without humans – a timeless Garden of Eden. The consequences of this story are well known: millions of Africans were expelled from the land on which they had lived for generations. But how did this happen? Who organized this continuity between the colonial era and the era of independence? Guillaume Blanc answers these questions by immersing himself at the heart of a strange global ecological mission, launched in 1961: the 'African Special Project'. He tells the story of this project by bringing to life four worlds: the world of gentleman experts who saw Africa as the world's last natural refuge; the world of East African colonists who were retraining as international experts; the world of African leaders who sought to control their peoples while satisfying the demands of their Western partners; and finally, the world of local farmers and their families living on the land who were forced to adapt or abandon their homes. These men do not speak of the same nature, but step by step, their worlds draw closer together until they meet – and this is where violence erupts. This impressive book lays bare the violence inherent in the creation of African game reserves and national parks and documents a hidden dimension of colonialism and its legacies.
Feminism in Africa
Raising feminist concerns about the struggles of African women amid debates surrounding the socio-cultural, economic and political future of Africa remains an immense challenge. Fatou Sow, the renowned Senegalese feminist activist and academic, illustrates here her own journey through a continuously developing global discourse. Her fundamental aim is to demonstrate the emergence and development of women's and feminist studies in Africa, highlighting its achievements, failures and, most importantly, its complexity. She argues that it is crucial to examine the influence of the patriarchy in light of Africa's historical matriarchal systems, which form the basis of the continent's social structures. Feminist research must also evaluate how gender intersects with age, class, ethnicity, caste, race and religious disparities, among other inequalities prevalent on the continent. As an African feminist, rooted in her African context and cultures, Sow is compelled to analyze conflicting realities, transformations and contradictions, as well as the complex contributions that are specific to different times and places. African cultures are not just relics of struggles against a colonial West, a West defined by domination. These cultures are primarily memories and living spaces that are deconstructed and reinvented daily, at every moment, with each generation, marked by triumphs and defeats.
The Wounded Church
Confronting racism, sexism, and clericalism in Catholic life and inviting real conversion and justiceIn The Wounded Church, theologian Annie Selak argues that the Catholic Church must confront its own injuries in order to credibly be the Church. Using a feminist framework, she develops a new ecclesiology around three wounds, racism, sexism, and clericalism, that actively harm the Body of Christ and distort its witness. Attentive to history, pastoral practice, and lived experience, Selak shows how each wound is both inflicted by the Church and borne within the Church. She offers the resurrected body of Jesus, scarred yet no longer bleeding, as a guiding metaphor for ecclesial renewal, a body that does not deny its wounds but is transformed through them. Drawing on Karl Rahner, she grounds hope in the reign of God while insisting on concrete institutional and spiritual conversion. Written for students and scholars, ministers and lay leaders, The Wounded Church uncovers overlooked histories tied to racism, sexism, and the clergy sexual abuse crisis, and proposes clear theological principles for reform. The result is a constructive, pastorally engaged vision that tells the truth about harm and imagines credible paths toward change, accountability, and justice.
Augusty
Príbeh o manipulácii, ktorú možno zažívate aj vy
Daniela dospieva v rodine, kde ju namiesto blízkych objímajú úzkosti. Vracajú sa so zvláštnou pravidelnosťou – vždy v auguste. Slnečné dni pre ňu nie sú pôžitkom, ale skôr utrpením. Keď na univerzite stretne Štěpána, myslí si, že pred nepríjemným obdobím života sa jej podarí uniknúť. Netuší však, že pred touto minulosťou sa utiecť nedá.
Český spisovateľ Jakub Stanjura vo svojom mrazivom debute otvára dôležitú tému gaslightingu – špecifickej formy manipulácie, ktorá v obetiach vyvoláva pochybnosti o vlastnom uvažovaní, pamäti a celkovom vnímaní reality.
Milánske vzplanutie
Lea už neverí na rozprávky. Vie, že keď sa raz niečo zlomí, nezlepí sa to len tak. Naučila sa spoliehať sama na seba a svoje srdce drží pod kontrolou. Keď sa jej kamarátke rozpadne vzťah, odchádzajú spolu do Talianska, aby si liečili rany a na chvíľu zabudli na všetko, čo bolí. Lenže práve tam, ďaleko od reality,
sa objaví niekto, kto jej pokoj nečakane naruší. A Lea zistí, že niektoré stretnutia sa nedajú naplánovať a už vôbec nie zastaviť.
Ivana Holíková prináša romantický, emotívny a miestami iskrivý príbeh o ženách, ktoré sa učia znovu dôverovať. Sebe, životu aj láske. O priateľstve, ktoré drží nad vodou, a o citoch, ktoré prídu vtedy, keď ich najmenej čakáme.
„Potom sa jedného dňa zobudí a nebude mať v hrudi pocit, že ju niekto dobodal. Zhlboka sa nadýchne a od srdca sa usmeje. To bude deň nových začiatkov.“

Deník lehký holky
Na prostitutku byste mě netipli. Studuju na vysoké škole, jezdím tramvají, jím v menze, nosím oblečení z H&M a mám milující rodinu. Na první pohled obyčejná holka. Liším se od svých vrstevníků jen tím, že po nocích pracuju jako společnice. A nikdo v mém okolí o tom nic netuší.
V knize odhaluju svět sexu za peníze – jeho pravidla i každodenní realitu. Jaké byly moje začátky? Jaké je to mít sex s úplně cizími muži? Jak se domlouvají ceny a schůzky, co klienti doopravdy chtějí, jaké fetiše si nosí za zavřené dveře a proč za sex se společnicemi často platí muži, kteří mají doma manželky?
Tohle je příběh o mém „druhém“ tajném životě. O životě, který v Česku žijí tisíc dalších holek. A možná, že je to i příběh někoho, koho potkáváte každý den – jen netušíte, co dělá po nocích.
