Dead Bees Still Sting
For readers of Raising Hare and How to Catch a Mole comes a poetic exploration of life at the precarious edge of nature and human settlement. “I loved every gorgeously-written and surprising page.”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus“Come for the bees, stay for these beautifully written observations.”—Booklist, STARRED reviewOn a small acreage teeming with wild and domestic animals, buzzing with a half-million honeybees, and dotted with fruit trees—including one affectionately named Bill—lives beekeeper-poet Susan Cormier. Circling the farm, an aggressive tangle of forest and blackberry vines thrives, but beyond, the shadow of urban development creeps ever closer. Over five seasons Cormier takes readers through the rhythms of semi-agricultural life, reflecting on the dichotomy between beauty and grief, loss and renewal, and humor and the often heart-wrenching realities of animal existence in an agrarian landscape. Susan’s acreage is filled with an ever-changing cast of animals, from the hand-raised quail Birb, who likes to play peekaboo, to companionable cats and dogs, Frodo the rescued rabbit, deer, elusive mink, and owls. Dead Bees Still Sting also offers a rich education in beekeeping, guiding readers through the complexities of hive life, the art of capturing swarms, and the serious challenges facing bees today. Lyrical and poignant, Dead Bees Still Sting is a moving meditation on the cycles of nature, vulnerability, persistence, and survival. Above all, it is a celebration of what it means to belong to a place, to witness its changes, and to find beauty and meaning in the ongoing conversation between humans and nature.

Memory Rehearsal
One of Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Books & Library Journal's Big Books of the Year"A poet's immersion in Greek classicism forges a stronger bond with her bloodline. . . . A moving family memoir and a triumph of cultural archaeology."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewA genre-busting encounter between a poet and her ancestral past documenting a startling intersection of queer history, ancient theater, utopian visions, and modern poetry. In 1901, Eva Palmer abandoned her life as a privileged New York socialite, moving to Paris with her lover, the writer, and salonist, Natalie Barney. The two Americans became the center of a wild tangle of lesbian love affairs and backyard performances based in an intentional reimagining of Sappho's work and life. This hotbed of early European modernism saw in the ancient past the possibility for sexual and artistic emancipation, especially for lesbian women. A chance encounter led Eva to Greece, where she married Angelos Sikelianos, a visionary poet who would become a Greek national hero. Together, they decided to stage a revival of the ancient Delphic festivals, convinced that it would open a path to world peace. By the end of two festivals, their meticulous reproductions had managed to change the course of modern Greek cultural history, even as their marriage dissolved. Eva returned to the U.S. and spent the next decades of her life in debt, but she never stopped pursuing her vision, convinced of the revolution of consciousness these art festivals could bring about. Celebrated American poet Eleni Sikelianos grew up knowing little of her illustrious ancestors, and it was not until the age of 20, on her first trip to Greece, that she encountered the breadth of their legacy. In Memory Rehearsal, Sikelianos unearths the story of her pioneering ancestor trying to make a place for herself, in a text that shifts between prose, poetry, imaginary performance texts, fiction, and nonfiction, with archival and family photographs. This is the third book in a trilogy of hybrid memoirs in which Sikelianos reckons with a family shaped by mental illness, homelessness, and addiction. Grappling with knots of personal and broader histories, she performs a powerful act of recovery, re-situating herself by claiming her lineage.

Swimming with Cobras
Arriving from high society England to rural South Africa in the turbulent 1960s, Rosemary Smith is out of her depth. But when faced with the startling reality of her new home, Rosemary joins the Black Sash—the white women-led anti-Apartheid organization of which she would one day become national vice president—thrusting her into the interior workings of a country struggling violently towards democracy.
Pulled from her journals charting decades of justice work, this emotional and engrossing memoir is a reexamination of the ally, a rare insight into South Africa’s democratic transition, and the inspiring true story of a community of women who set a new standard for civic responsibility and quietly changed the landscape of an entire nation.
The Last Straight Woman
A fiercely intelligent, funny, and much-needed reality check on the state of heterosexual women.The Last Straight Woman is a call to set aside the baggage of what female heterosexuality evokes, in favour of a definition of what it actually entails: women liking men. No more, no less. That a woman is straight implies nothing about how conventional or submissive she is. It does not mean she wants to be accommodating to men generally.Using that simple definition as its launching point, the book moves to the history of women’s desire for men, and how it is ultimately separate from much of the history of marriage. Phoebe then turns to the sexual revolution of the late 1960s, and to second-wave feminist critiques of heterosexuality—a pattern that repeated itself when early-2000s sex positivity gave way to post-#MeToo reticence. One sees men’s desires pitted against women’s need for safety, with women’s own lusts all but forgotten. She examines the ways everyone from queer theorists to evolutionary psychologists has cast doubt on the authenticity of women’s interest in men, as well as the frustratingly widespread notion that female sexuality is fundamentally about wanting others to find you attractive. She makes sense of a society where many young adults are 2SLGBTQI+ but a lot of the women so identifying lead effectively heterosexual lives. Is it men these women have gone off, or just the confining gender roles associated with being a straight lady?The Last Straight Woman offers a way forward for straight women. In lieu of the sexy woman men are gazing at, why not be the woman too busy gazing at sexy men to have bothered with her own looks? Phoebe offers not a self-improvement PowerPoint, but rather an assortment of characters from 1990s British sitcoms, a rare world where the frumpy but horny straight lady had her day. She does not demand that 21st century women model themselves after supporting characters from long-forgotten television shows but rather merely consider the possibility that straight women are all one argyle sweater-vest away from true liberation.

Lucifer omnibus, svazek první (základní verze)
Vzdal se pekelného trůnu. Nyní je připraven přepsat realitu! Padlý anděl, jenž vystoupil ze stránek komiksu Sandman Neila Gaimana, se vydává na svou vlastní epickou cestu v cenami ověnčené sérii scenáristy Mikea Careyho. Od té doby, co se vzdal trůnu a opustil peklo, tráví Lucifer Morningstar své dny dohledem nad značně zredukovaným personálem v Luxu, nejelitnějším piano baru v Los Angeles. Nicméně pracovní nabídka, jaká se naskytne jednou za věčnost, brzy ukončí jeho poklidný důchod. Předloží mu ji přímo samotný Stvořitel, a pokud Lucifer úspěšně splní svůj úkol, bude si moct stanovit vlastní cenu. Vyjednávání na tomto tenkém ledě mezi příležitostí a katastrofou však bude vyžadovat veškerou jeho legendární rafinovanost a vůli – a nemalou dávku obětavosti. Ovšem nikoliv nutně jeho vlastní. První svazek omnibusového vydání série LUCIFER obsahuje sešity The Sandman Presents: Lucifer č. 1–3 a Lucifer č. 1–28. (V českých vydáních šlo o následující svazky: Lucifer: Světlonošova cesta, Lucifer 1: Ďábel vchází do dveří, Lucifer 2: Děti a monstra, Lucifer 3: Flirtování se zatracenými a Lucifer 4: Božská komedie.
Fák
Mit tanítanak nekünk a fák?
Kóda Aja már gyerekkorában felismerte, hogy egy fa több puszta szépségnél. Amikor édesapjától facsemetét kapott ajándékba, megtanulta: éppannyira rá vagyunk utalva a fákra, mint ők miránk. Jelzik az idő múlását, megtisztítják a levegőt, megújítják a földet – a jövőjükért viszont nekünk kell felelősséget vállalnunk. Kóda Japánt járva földcsuszamlásokat lát, favágókkal és hamuba hulló erdőkkel, friss csemetékkel és ősi, megzabolázhatatlan gyökerekkel találkozik. Útja során felismeri, hogy minden fa – legyen bár cseresznye-, hinoki, ezo luc, juhar vagy ciprus – saját, külön történetet hordoz. Ebben az időtlen, modern klasszikusban Kóda emlékeztet bennünket arra, hogy a fák tükröt tartanak nekünk: megmutatják, kik vagyunk, és mit hagyunk magunk után.
„Vízben úszott az egész erdő – kivéve ezt, az öreg fatest közepét, amit szárazon, melegen tartottak a fiatal fa gyökerei. Nem is olyan egyszerű, ébredtem rá, hogy az öreg fa halott, a fiatal pedig él. Nem érdemes fennakadnunk az élet és a halál kapcsolatán vagy körforgásuk kegyetlenségén. Mindkettő csupán egy pillanat az időben – és micsoda szerencse, hogy ezt a pillanatot, ezt a melegséget nem mulasztottam el!”
A magyar tenger kalózai
Alvilág és felvilág a Balaton partján
Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Addig kóstolgatták egymást a kishalak, amíg a nagyhal befalt mindent...
A Balaton nekünk a lángos, a romantikus naplemente, a zajos családi nyaralás.
De mi történik, miután lemegy a nap?
2025 őszén a rendőrség elfogta egy huszonnyolc évvel korábbi robbantásos merénylet gyanúsítottjait. Az 1997 nyarán meggyilkolt férfi a balatoni éjszakai élet ismert figurája volt. Terepjárója éppen Balatonalmádi felé tartott, amikor felrobbant a férfi alatt. A detonáció nemcsak egy embert ölt meg - egy korszak kapuját is berúgta.
Innen indul Dezső András új kötete.
A Maffiózók mackónadrágban, a Magyar kóla, a Fedősztori és a Nagyfőnök című bestsellerek szerzője most a Balaton sötét oldalát tárja fel. Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Hiszen a Balaton nem csak a pihenni vágyók és az ügyeskedők paradicsoma volt. A vadkelet éveiben erős és befolyásos figurák keresztezték egymás útját, miközben ugyanaz a cél vezette őket: meghódítani a tavat. És mire a szivarfüst eloszlott, a diszkófények kihunytak, a régi maffiózók mackónadrágot húztak, a helyükre egy új elit lépett, akik visszautasíthatatlan ajánlatokkal, házilag írt törvényekkel terjeszkednek, a tét pedig már milliárdokban mérhető.
Ez a könyv a magyar tengerért vívott hol zajos, hol csendes harc igaz története.
The Agency for Scandal - A botrányügynökség (A botrányügynökség 1.)
Báltermek, pletykák, titkos küldetések.
Egy csak nőket alkalmazó nyomozóügynökség a gyengék védelmére kel a 19. század végén; beszivárognak a felső tízezer Bridgertont idéző, botrányokkal terhelt világába, ahol éles eszüket és bátorságukat bevetve lelepleznek egy gonosztevőt.
A tizennyolc éves Isobel Stanhope jó pár titkot őriz.
Egyrészt fülig szerelmes egy hercegbe, aki a létezéséről sem tud; másrészt teljesen elszegényedett a családja, és ezt senki sem sejti az úri körökben; harmadrészt a Madárház, egy női vezetés alatt álló ügynökség alkalmazottja, akik nagy hatalmú férfiak botrányait és gaztetteit leplezik le.
Izzy legújabb ügyében lelki kínzástól és zsarolástól sem visszariadó bűnözőkkel néznek szembe, értékes ékszerek és a szívét elraboló herceg sorsa a tét. Képes lesz barátaival a titkokból és hazugságokból szőtt háló mélyére jutni, felfedezni az igazságot, és megvédeni az ártatlan áldozatokat?
És mi történik, ha egy ilyen veszedelmes küldetés során az eddig rejtegetett vonzalma látszólag viszonzásra talál?
Middle East
The wellspring of key religious faiths, such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism, the Middle East is famed for its warm hospitality and ancient culture. For centuries, it was the heart of the known world and home to some of the great civilizations, including the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, the Abbasid Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire.

Watch the sun set over the honeycombed magic of Petra and explore tree-lined boulevards and exquisite blue-tiled mosques in Esfahan, Iran. From the deep-rooted communities of Oman to the cosmopolitan energy of Beirut and Dubai, from the quiet spirituality of a Turkish mosque to the bustling markets of Cairo, the Middle East is home to a rich, vibrant mosaic of traditions, languages and food. With more than 200 vivid photographs, this book offers a pictorial exploration of the culture, history, flora and fauna of this hugely diverse region.
