Tonight, I Have a Date with a Serial Killer Vol. 1
Murder is on the rise, and the bodies keep piling up. For police officer Isogai Shiro, solving these killing sprees is his sole purpose. He’ll stop at nothing to find these deranged murderers and has thrown himself entirely into the investigation. So when a mysterious informant begins tipping off the police about serial killers before they strike again, Isogai sees a chance at a breakthrough. But the source isn’t at all what he expected: a young woman named Hinata Kuroi who seems to have a “sixth sense” that helps her find killers. Together, this unlikely duo dives into the city’s darkest corners, hunting monsters in human skin. Because for Isogai, this is more than justice—it’s personal.
The Kings of Algiers
A richly detailed history of the Bacris and the Busnachs, two renowned Jewish families whose influence and reputation shook the capitals of Europe and AmericaAt the height of the Napoleonic Wars, the Bacri brothers and their nephew, Naphtali Busnach, were perhaps the most notorious Jews in the Mediterranean. Based in the strategic port of Algiers, their interconnected families traded in raw goods and luxury items, brokered diplomatic relations with the Ottomans, and lent vital capital to warring nations. For the French, British, and Americans, who competed fiercely for access to trade and influence in the region, there was no getting around the Bacris and the Busnachs. The Kings of Algiers traces the rise and fall of these two trading families over four tumultuous decades in the nineteenth century. In this panoramic book, Julie Kalman restores their story—and Jewish history more broadly—to the histories of trade, corsairing, and high-stakes diplomacy in the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic Wars and their aftermath. Jacob Bacri dined with Napoleon himself. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Horatio Nelson considered strategies to circumvent the Bacris’ influence. As the families’ ambitions grew, so did the perils, from imprisonment and assassination to fraud and family collapse. The Kings of Algiers brings vividly to life an age of competitive imperialism and nascent nationalism and demonstrates how people and events on the periphery shaped perceptions and decisions in the distant metropoles of the world’s great nations.
The Last of Its Kind
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book PrizeHow an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinctionThe great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gísli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists’ Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson’s own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.

Getting Real About Sex Ed
A clear, practical approach for K–12 educators to teach crucial life skills, concepts essential to healthy sexuality, and the capacity for meaningful relationships In Getting Real About Sex Ed, Shafia Zaloom offers educators, administrators, and caregiving adults concrete language and strategies for integrating sexuality education into daily practice, beginning with students in kindergarten and carrying through to high school graduation. Zaloom advocates Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), a holistic framework for K–12 classrooms that addresses the cognitive, emotional, social, and physical aspects of sexuality. The book highlights how CSE scaffolds the sexual development of students as it gradually layers in age-appropriate information, skills, and positive values to practice and prepare for safe and fulfilling relationships, as well as how students can take responsibility for their own sexual health and well-being. Zaloom draws on the latest research and presents real-world scenarios from classrooms across the country that all educators face in developing students’ personal citizenship. With warmth, empathy, and insight, she guides teachers beyond the classroom to the in-between moments of educational spaces: the lunchroom, playground, hallways, and transition periods. She models how educators can deliver developmentally appropriate lessons across grades to inspire personal reflection, integrity, and the capacity to connect with others in community. In this vital, actionable work, Zaloom ultimately shows how a comprehensive approach to teaching sexuality education equips young people with life skills they need to cultivate mutual respect, care, dignity, and joy in sustained relationships, whether sexual or not, and contribute to a compassionate and just society.

Writing Timbuktu
The long overlooked, centuries-long, culture of the book in West AfricaPrinted books did not reach West Africa until the early twentieth century. And yet, between the fifteenth and twentieth centuries, literate and curious readers throughout the region found books to read—books that were written and copied by hand. In Writing Timbuktu, Shamil Jeppie offers a history of the book as a handwritten, handmade object in West Africa. Centering his account in the historic city of Timbuktu, Jeppie explores the culture of the “manuscript-book”—unbound pages, often held together by carefully crafted leather covers. He describes the most important and most prolific scholars and their works, the subjects they covered, and ways these books were circulated, collected, and preserved. The authors of the manuscript-books wrote to demonstrate their knowledge to their peers, expound theological and legal opinions, and engage in scholarly disputation. After beginning his account in Timbuktu, Jeppie traces the literary connections among places as distant as Marrakesh in the north and Sokoto in the south, and smaller settlements in between. He chronicles the work of Ahmad Baba in late sixteenth-century Timbuktu and his students in early seventeenth-century Marrakesh; the emergence of writers in the eighteenth century in what today is Mauritania; the writings of the scholar-rulers of Sokoto, northern Nigeria, in the nineteenth century; and the eventual discovery of the manuscript-book world of West Africa by European travelers and French colonial officials. Finally, Jeppie finds that the handwritten text persisted even after the advent of the printed book, and even among writers whose books were in print, including the famous Malian novelist Amadou Hampâté Bâ.
The Worst Fishing Dog Ever
A heartfelt look at the state of modern fly-fishing and the challenges fishers will face in the coming decades. Ron Dungan, like many fly-fishers, can be obsessive. Although decades of fishing trips have led him to encounter snakes, bears, and treacherous terrain, his main focus is always the fish—how to find them, how to outsmart them, and how to hook them. In twenty-seven essays, Dungan takes us on a journey down bad roads and backcountry streams. Each tells a tale about fishing but also about hunting dogs, death, public-land policy, the trap of materialism, and accelerating environmental damage. This last becomes a new obsession. Fly-fishing in the arid Southwest has always been precarious, but how has fly-fishing changed, and what further impacts will climate change and resource extraction have? With his dog curled at his feet, Dungan attempts to unravel the tangled line of these hard questions.

King of Kings
A spellbinding narrative history of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its devastating consequences by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia.
Before the revolution, the Shah of Iran seemed invincible. The world watched in awe as he commanded a huge army and oversaw an economy awash with billions of dollars of oil revenues. The regime's secret police had crushed communist opposition and the Shah appeared to have bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. On the international stage, Iran had become an invaluable ally to the West during the Cold War.
But village streets spoke of a different country - people derided the Shah as an American lackey and blamed him for economic inequality, for spending recklessly on lavish parties and for ignoring the Muslim majority. When a volcanic religious revolution erupted, led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shah was forced off the throne and into exile. How did it all go so wrong?
Brilliantly brought to life by the Sunday Times bestselling author Scott Anderson, this gripping behind-the-scenes narrative reveals how the Iranian Revolution was as world-shattering an event as the French and Russian revolutions, and how its repercussions are still felt around the world today. In the Middle East, in India, in Southeast Asia, and now in Europe and the United States, the hatred of economically-marginalized, religiously-fervent masses for a wealthy secular elite has led to violence and upheaval - and Iran was the template.

Holdtükör
Újraírnád a sorsodat, ha cserébe elveszítenél valamit a múltadból?
Tokió egy eldugott kis utcácskájában áll egy zálogház, amit nem mindenki képes megtalálni.
A legtöbben egy barátságos rámenéttermet látnak a helyén. Csak a valóban elveszettek pillanthatják meg az igazi boltot, ahol életutakat és megbánt döntéseket lehet zálogba adni.
Isikava Hana a zálogház új tulajdonosaként töltött első reggelén romokban találja az üzletet. A bolt legértékesebb tárgya édesapjával együtt eltűnt.
Ekkor lép be az ajtón egy különös idegen: egy férfi, aki nem segítséget kér, hanem felajánlja azt.
Hana és titokzatos útitársa együtt vágnak neki egy varázslattal szőtt utazásnak, hogy megtalálják az apját és a tolvaj által elvitt döntést. Esőtócsákon keresztül, papírdarvak hátán, az éjfél és a hajnal közé feszülő hídon át, egészen a felhők közé rejtett éjszakai piacig vezet az útjuk.
De minél közelebb kerülnek az igazsághoz, annál nyilvánvalóbbá válik: Hanának is van egy titka. Egy döntés, amit ha meghoz, soha többé nem fordulhat vissza.

Hříšníku, stůj!
Kniha přináší ojedinělý pohled na spirituály - písně z dob otroctví v celé své syrové kráse a zbožnosti - v nových převodech Michala Bystrova. Tento hudební žánr zrozený z utrpení afroamerických otroků je u nás známý především díky Spirituál kvintetu, který tyto písně naděje, víry a bolesti proslavil tak, že mnohé zlidověly. Na rozdíl od jejich volných adaptací se Bystrov pokouší zachytit původní tragický kontext, přísnou zbožnost a těsné vazby na texty Starého a Nového zákona. Přesto i jemu se místy nedaří udržet vážnou tvář - zejména v oddílech věnovaných biblickým prorokům vtip a fantazie prorážejí na povrch. Publikace je doplněna konkrétními pasážemi z Bible, které tvoří nedílnou součást duchovního poselství spirituálů.
Jak dodává autor předmluvy Jiří Tichota, u překladů lidových písní nejde jen o doslovnost, ale i o zachování něčeho nevyslovitelného - rozpoložení původního autora, jedinečnosti slovních obrazů a genia loci. Bystrovova kniha obsahuje volné převody bezmála 150 prapůvodních spirituálů, které jsou určeny nejen ke čtení, ale i ke zpívání. Písně zrozené z řetězů tak mohou ve své kráse a smutku znít i dnes.
