Attention Seeker
What does it mean to live in a world that punishes distraction, but profits from our attentio? hy do so many ADHD individuals not feel at home at school or in the workplace? What does it really feel like to grow up, learn, work and exist in a world that wasn't built for your brai? hy are so many of us struggling with shame, burnout and - statistically speaking - a suspicious number of parking tickets?'The recognition and validation is mind-blowing. I was reading Attention Seeker in floods of tears' Emma DabiriAttention Seeker is a groundbreaking, unfiltered exploration of ADHD - how it shapes lives across race, gender, and class, and why so many people are left undiagnosed and misunderstood. Drawing on research, lived experience and the realities of navigating ADHD in the UK today, Medland cuts through the myths and misinformation to uncover the truth. From education to employment, addiction to the criminal justice system, Attention Seeker reveals how ADHD intersects with power, privilege and oppression - and what needs to change. Ending with a bold anti-capitalist manifesto, Medland challenges everything we think we know about ADHD. The book asks: in a society obsessed with productivity and perfection, what can everyone learn from those who think differentl? ttention Seeker is the first book of its kind. Equal parts eye-opening, urgent and authoritative, this is a call to rethink ADHD, not just as an individual diagnosis, but as a political issue.
LOST iN Switzerland
Switzerland. You imagine snow-capped postcards, precision watches and the hushed corridors of private banks. But look past the orderly facade and you’ll find a country defined by synergistic contrast and modern marvels.
This is a land where brutalist concrete bunkers hide luxury galleries and the pristine silence of the Alps is broken by the roar of underground techno and art movements like Dadaism that once shook the world. It’s a year-round destination with natural wealth that has no equal.
LOST iN takes you beyond the fondue pots to the high-altitude creatives and urban alchemists. You’ll meet a mountain rescue guide that saves lives on the Matterhorn, an indie designer reimagining the home aesthetic and Zurich architects transforming industrial husks into soaring cathedrals of cool. Along the way, we’ll guide you through hidden thermal baths carved into raw granite, secret vinyl bars in Basel and the lakeside Riviera where jazz legends once escaped the limelight.
From the eerie stillness of abandoned mountain passes to the high-stakes energy of a global design scene, this is a Switzerland that refuses to be put in a box. Experience a culture clash that’s raw, real and refined, and get lost in a country where stereotypes don’t stand a chance.
Alpine subcultures, adventure seekers and urban creatives that bring pure grit to the world’s most beautiful playground.

Parade's End
Ford Madox Ford's great masterpiece exploring love and identity during the First World War, in a Penguin Classics edition with an introduction by Julian Barnes. A masterly novel of destruction and regeneration, Parade's End follows the story of aristocrat Christopher Tietjens as his world is shattered by the First World War. Tracing the psychological damage inflicted by battle, the collapse of England's secure Edwardian values - embodied in Christopher's wife, the beautiful, cruel socialite Sylvia - and the beginning of a new age, epitomized by the suffragette Valentine Wannop, Parade's End is an elegy for both the war dead and the passing of a way of life. 'The finest English novel about the Great War'Malcolm Bradbury'The best novel by a British writer ... It is also the finest novel about the First World War. It is also the finest novel about the nature of British society'Anthony Burgess'There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them'W.H. Auden'The English prose masterpiece of the time'William Carlos Williams

From the vast Australian trumpet shell to the exquisitely tiny Ammonicera minortalis, and with colours ranging from dazzling blue to palest pink, shells are one of the most beautiful and varied aspects of our natural world. The Shell Seeker is a unique way of discovering these enticing forms. With an entrancing volvelle set into the cover, the book introduces a wonderful selection of shells from all seven continents.

Taking a new spin on this perennially popular subject, The Shell Seeker is the perfect gift for beachcombers and seasoned conchologists alike.
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
'A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told' Sunday TelegraphRoger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, 'sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore. PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS'It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it' Sunday Times'Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement' Literary Review

Chase Me If You Can
PRE-ORDER THIS SUMMER'S STORMIEST DEBUT ROMANCE NOWTwo storm chasers find a love that could blow them away... “The scorching summer romance of my dreams." B.K. Borison“Electric, tension-filled, and brimming with adventure." Chelsea CurtoWedding photographer Sloane Michaels spends most of her year running after brides, but she lives for the six weeks each spring she chases tornadoes instead. When a prestigious nature magazine announces a storm-cover contest, Sloane knows winning could be her chance to break into landscape photography. The last thing she needs is distraction in the form of reckless storm-chasing legend “Wild Wes” Talbot. Her close, personal frenemy for a decade, Wes is also the man to beat. Sloane isn’t surprised when Wes gets in an accident that jeopardizes his chances of winning. But when an active weather pattern emerges, she doubles down on her need to win fair and square and begrudgingly invites him to join her for the rest of the season. As they race through high winds and stormy skies, Sloane realizes Wes might be more than the flirty wildcard she thought she knew—and that the feelings brewing between them are even more charged than the storms they chase.

Maškaráda géniů
Maškarádu géniů, třetí díl Rakouské trilogie, považoval Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando za své vrcholné dílo, souhrn všech zásadních témat, která ho celý tvůrčí život provázela: Erós jako vítěz nad racionalitou a pořádky mužského světa, znejistění muži jako oběti a hračky v rukou neporazitelných ženských protihráček; zpřítomnění řecké a byzantské mytologie, její surrealistické propletení se současnou banalitou a komedií dell´arte, odbourání hranic mezi minulým a současným, mezi mýtem, iluzí a realitou; zobrazení světa jako nestabilního místa a neuspořádané sbírky kuriozit (jež je současně cenností i smetištěm) a člověka v něm jako oběti posedlostí, obsesí a metamorfóz všeho druhu. I tento román končí tragicky jako oba předchozí, a přesto je plný typického hýřivého, skurilního humoru, legračních figurek a nedostižně originálních nápadů.
Dávej na sebe pozor!
V poslední době vycházejí zejména knížky významných horolezeckých osobností, opatřené bohatými fotografiemi. O těch obyčejných "dělnících hor" a milovnících sportovního lezení se však píše jen velmi málo. Ve svých povídkách jsem se snažil přiblížit zážitky méně nápadných lidiček. Proto je věnuji všem posedlým romantikou a dobrodružstvím, kteří sice nedosáhli vrcholných výkonů, ale přesto byli šťastni.
Introdukované dřeviny v českém lesním hospodářství
V souvislosti s klimatickou změnou a s nezbytným záměrem zajistit stabilní a funkční lesní porosty roste zájem odborné lesnické veřejnosti také o využití druhů, které u nás nejsou původní. Rovněž potřeba nahradit stávající monokulturní porosty stabilnějšími vede ke snahám o rozšíření sortimentu dřevin schopných odolat dnešnímu turbulentnímu prostředí. Proto je cílem publikace shrnout disponibilní poznatky o introdukovaných dřevinách využitelných lesnickou praxí. Kromě douglasky, grandisky a dubu červeného jsou analyzovány i dřeviny méně zastoupené. Snahou je poskytnout současný stav poznání ohledně jejich ekologických nároků, možnostech pěstování i vystihnout případná rizika, která jsou s rozšiřováním nových druhů v lesních porostech potenciálně spojena.
