One Last Thing
READERS LOVE KATY BIRCHALL'S HILARIOUS NOVELS'A perfect summer read, best consumed with strawberries and cream in the sun' 🤣?'I LOVED this book . . . It made me cry, giggle, scream and everything in between!' 🤣?Megan has a holiday coming up with her beloved dad, Henry. A week in the south of France sounds ideal - except her father will be joining her in an urn rather than wheeling a suitcase. He left a long list of wishes for Megan after his death, and the last thing he requested was that Megan scatter his ashes in his favourite place. So here she is. Little does she know that her estranged mother Dawn also has a holiday planned . . . to the south of France. At the request of her late ex-husband. Also to scatter his ashes. The two women haven't spoken for years, ever since Dawn seemingly abandoned their family and cut all ties with her daughter. But now, forced together by Henry, they're stuck. It's set to be the strangest family holiday of all time - can the two women repair what has been broken between them for so long? And will they have one last chance for honesty, love and - above all - happiness?

What Artists Do
This book explains why Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) is an influential art education movement, addresses misconceptions about TAB, and shares real-life examples from practicing teachers. With a diverse range of examples from teachers and school districts who use the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) approach, What Artists Do provides a strong argument for the place of TAB in today’s K–12 visual arts education landscape. After beginning in the 1970s as a grassroots movement, TAB’s growth has been fueled by passionate teachers sharing ideas through social media, conferences, workshops, and professional development events. TAB’s continued expansion is driven by its student-centered approach to artmaking, the creativity of its practitioners, and a growing demand for educational models that prioritize innovation and self-direction. With chapters tailored for a wide audience—including experienced and new art teachers, administrators, and teacher educators—this book serves as a practical resource for understanding and implementing TAB in art rooms everywhere. Book Features:Includes over 40 full-color images of student artwork, classroom resources, and art teachers practicing in their studiosOffers ideas and guidance for using a choice-based approach to visual arts education that values student agency, classroom community, and artistic process and thinking. Cites evidence-based research that supports TAB as a best practice in contemporary art education and explains the psychological underpinnings of choice and student engagement. Addresses the growth of this approach over the past 50 years, as well as TAB's place in the historical evolution of art education.

Odds and Ends
In this charming translated work from Finland, an imaginative child makes a scrapbook of "lasts" instead of "firsts," inviting readers to reflect on what they hold onto and save. Some people collect pens, shells, or stamps. Others collect friends, trips, or world records. This picture book shares one girl’s unusual collection: a collection of lasts. With a feel for the poignant, the bittersweet, and the odd, an observant, emotionally astute child shares the whimsical, eccentric, and touching lasts she has collected, from the last day cold enough for a wool cap, to the last anxious breath before a high dive, to the last person in her class to lose a tooth, to the last piece of chocolate, to the last words of a whole life. Beautifully illustrated in pencil and watercolor, this is an exploration of lasts that might set something new in motion—or might bring finality. There are feelings of fear, sadness, contentment, longing, and happiness here, making for a wistful picture book in which a young girl’s collection of last moments is depicted with a warm touch. Odds and Ends is a collection of memories which invites open discussion of each reader’s personal lasts.

Vnitřní čas člověka
Autor provede čtenáře vědeckými poznatky o biologických hodinách člověka. S využitím vlastních studií i poznatků mezinárodní komunity vědců zabývajících se spánkem a biologů studujících cirkadiánní rytmy, ilustruje vliv denní doby na naše zdraví: jak nám večerní procházky zajistí lepší spánek, jak jídlo po západu slunce ovlivňuje naši hmotnost i jaké účinky má na náš život doba užívání léků.
V moderní době jsme zanedbali zásadní součást naší biologie. Stále častěji přesouváme rutinní činnosti do nočních hodin a věnujeme se práci, cvičení a společenskému životu dlouho po setmění. Zapomněli jsme, že se naše těla se řídí 24 hodinovými biologickými hodinami, které nás vedou k nejlepšímu času na spaní, jídlo a pití. Nové vědecké poznatky dokázaly, že život mimo synchronizaci s těmito biologickými hodinami nejen narušuje spánek, ale činí nás i zranitelnějšími vůči infekcím, obezitě, cukrovce 2. typu, srdečním chorobám, rakovině a duševním onemocněním.

Pieces of the Night (Deluxe Edition)
*The limited deluxe edition will include designed edges*
I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.
But the night I found Chase Rhodes-bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was-everything changed.
I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.
What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.
Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.
But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.
Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.
And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a new angsty, standalone contemporary romance.
Trutyi
„Nem tudom, mikor jöttem rá, hogy Nim nem fog visszajönni. Csak lassan esett le számomra. Nem tudtam pontosan, mennyi ideig tart az összevarrás: tizenöt perc, fél óra? Egy óra elteltével vettem rá magam, hogy szóljak valakinek. A nővérek azt hitték, Nim eltévedt a kórházban, vagy talán rossz kórterembe küldték vissza. Észrevettem, hogy a kis bőrönd, amit bepakoltam neki, váltóruhával, fogkefével, a telefonjával, eltűnt. Erre felhívtam a nővérek figyelmét is. Lassan néma pánik lett úrrá mindenkin. A baba aludt. Végül megnézték a biztonsági kamerák felvételeit, és jól látszott, ahogy Nim egész egyszerűen kisétál a kórház parkolójából. Melegítőalsót és egy ócska, szürke kapucnis pulcsit viselt, még mindig kissé nehézkesen, kacsázva lépkedett, a jobb szemöldökén elkenődött vérfolt látszott.”
Felemelő történet két nőről, akik egy váratlan terhesség miatt zavarba ejtően közel kerülnek egymáshoz.
Jules már öt éve elvált Leontól, de még mindig a közös, lepattant kocsmájukban dolgozik: a Trutyiban. A brightoni fiatalok kedvelt szórakozóhelyén éjszakánként feleseket tölt, és végignézi, ahogy a volt férje, Leon, diáklányokat szed fel.
Egy nap Leon felveszi a tizenkilenc éves Nimet. Az új kolléganő érkezése felrázza Julest az évek óta tartó közönyből. Amikor pedig a lány terhes lesz, és Jules segítségét kéri, a kapcsolatuk gyökeresen megváltozik.
Aztán Jules egyszer csak hirtelen egyedül marad az apró lakásában egy egynapos kisbabával a kezében, akin még érzi Nim illatát. Nem tudja, hova tűnt a gyerek anyja, visszatér-e egyáltalán. Azt pedig végképp nem sejti, hogy mit tartogat számukra a jövő.
A Trutyi sodró erejű regény egy legkevésbé sem hagyományos családmodellről. Szerelem és szenvedély, biztonság és rombolás, káosz és rend kavarog minden egyes oldalán szétválaszthatatlanul.
Jegyzetek egy kivégzéshez
Ansel Packer tizenkét óra múlva meghal. Tisztában van azzal, hogy mit tett, és most a kivégzésére vár, ugyanarra a sorsra, amit ő is rákényszerített azokra a lányokra évekkel ezelőtt. De Ansel nem akar meghalni, azt akarja, hogy ünnepeljék, hogy megértsék.
Egy anya, egy lánytestvér, egy gyilkossági nyomozó – nők, akiknek a kaleidoszkópján keresztül megismerjük Ansel élettörténetét.
Találkozunk az anyjával, Lavenderrel; egy tizenhét éves lánnyal, aki kétségbeesett lépésre kényszerül; Hazellel, Ansel feleségének ikertestvérével, aki születésük óta elválaszthatatlan nővérétől, de most kénytelen tétlenül figyelni, ahogy a testvére kapcsolata mindegyiküket felemészti. És végül Saffyval, a nyomozóval, aki szorosan a nyomában van, és aki annak szenteli a hivatását, hogy rossz embereket bíróság elé állítson, miközben képtelen tisztán látni a saját életét.
Danya Kukafka regénye a feszültséget megdöbbentő empátiával ötvözve hátborzongató képet fest a női sorsról, és ezzel egyidejűleg feltárja az amerikai sorozatgyilkos ismerős narratíváját, komoly kérdéseket megfogalmazva az igazságszolgáltatással és a bűnügyi történetek iránti megszállottságunkkal kapcsolatban. Mindeközben az olvasó elgondolkodhat azon, hogy érdemes-e értelmet keresni erőszakos emberek pszichéjében…

Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség.
Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.
A döntéseid formálnak azzá.
The Mate
Sir Jameson. Commander Adams. Bill. The Mate. You won’t have heard of him – yet, in those curious ways history has of connecting us all, chances are you have benefited in some way from the remarkable things he did in his extraordinary life. To tell the story of Jameson Adams is to tell the story of twentieth-century Britain – adventure and exploration, politics and war, poverty and opportunity, employment and health. After running away to sea as a teenager, he worked his way up through the Navy to play a pivotal role in defending the British coast. In 1907, he was chosen by Shackleton himself to be the Nimrod Expedition’s second-in-command, venturing further into the Antarctic than anyone had gone before. Prime Minister Lloyd George personally selected Adams to transform the struggling Munitions Department during the First World War, while his 25-year career with the Ministry of Labour alongside Churchill and Beveridge laid the foundations for the Welfare State. This is a story of adventure and adversity; of courage, care and compassion; of the belief in a better future for everyone – and of always believing in humanity and hope

This is Our Game
"Reminds me of why I love football - at its heart, it's a reflection of the communities that are built around it. A special book." - Jamie CarragherYou know when you’re in a Football City. The murals, the billboards, the graffiti, the colours on the bars and pubs. No two football cities are the same. That cross on the club badge, commemorating a 1st century fisherman martyr (Ajax). The ‘cemetery’ of graves dedicated to the club’s league rivals (Napoli). The guttural roar of fans chanting “Aupa Athletic, aupa Euskal Herria!” – a fierce declaration of Basque pride and identity, echoing through San Mamés like a battle cry (Bilbao). In a world of increasing corporate and homogenous sport, football cities preserve culture and exhibit the particular and the unique with glorious passion. Fandom in a football city is for everyone: for boys and girls, for elderly men and the infirm; for the fashionable, the outcasts and the hopeless: it gives their days meaning and clarity – it can unite divided cities and divide the otherwise united. This is Our Game is a celebration of these unique fan cultures. Part travel, part social history, giving voice to distinctive local experiences, revealing the atmospheres, attitudes, fables, fashions, tensions and triumphs of twenty-two unique places and communities across all continents. It was the Russian composer (and FC Zenit fan) Dmitri Shostakovich who said: “Football is the ballet of the masses.” This book takes us inside the dance.
The Paranoid Style in American Politics
The classic and very funny account of the dark side of American politics
'Calm, clear, dispassionate and devastating - and a joy to read' Harper's
'Brilliant and influential … his evisceration of populism has found a new generation of readers' Guardian
'American political life … has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds'
How can a country be captured by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen? The historian Richard Hofstadter asked these questions in the 1960s, amid fears of rising extremism in America. Yet his dazzling dissection of the paranoid worldview - a brew of overheated exaggeration, suspicion and perceived victimhood that can derail entire nations - is a lesson for the ages in the seductive politics of the irrational.
In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter's incisive refusal to see these as something new. In his discussion of famous and obscure untruths, some of which have profoundly impacted American domestic and foreign policy, he provides the antidote for the present day.
'The Paranoid Style in American Politics' was first published as an essay in Harper's Magazine in late 1964 and has been argued over ever since.
