Muskism
Who on earth is Elon Musk and what is he doing? Is he a hero, a villain, or does he swing constantly between those two poles?
According to the constant media gush driven by his every act and pronouncement, Musk is best understood in personal terms. This book argues differently. Rather than seeing Musk as an individual, it sees him as an avatar of something called Muskism: a playbook for our new postliberal age.
It’s not that Musk himself holds a coherent set of beliefs; you could say his life is one long improvisation. And he’s certainly never used the word Muskism – just as, a century ago, Henry Ford never used Fordism to define his own postliberal modernity. In exploring the forces that have shaped Musk, from South Africa to Silicon Valley, Space X to DOGE, Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff outline the motifs and practices that have come to dominate our own crisis-ridden world.
Muskism, they show, speaks the language of crisis and emergency to invoke a less human future: where humans are purged from the productive process and, through social media and video games, merged with the machine. This is a worldview in which the technocrat is king; which piggybacks on the state to achieve supremacy; and in which only a select few deserve salvation. If you enter, this book warns you, you will grind and you will live in the shadow of one man – but the rewards could be priceless and the alternative might be extinction.
Vanitas: Magická kniha 4
V pařížských katakombách, hluboko pod městem, jsou chasseuři – lovci z církevní protiupírské divize – v patách Noému a Vanitasovi. Pátrání po pohřešovaných upírech je zavede na cestu, kterou Vanitas až příliš dobře zná a ve stínech podzemí budou muset čelit nejenom děsivé hrozbě, ale také samotné Vanitasově minulosti.
Summoned to the Wilds
She’s sworn to protect the realm. Her heart has other plans.
Lady Ammalie Avington, Baroness of Faebarrow, knows it's not safe to pine after the son of a demon. Especially not the blood mage who threatened and abducted her and now intends to bring ruin to the realm. The very realm she is sworn to serve. It's just a terribly inconvenient fact because, well…he's rather cute.
Despite her best efforts, Amma can’t seem to get him out of her mind, not whilst locked up in a tower surrounded by infernal beings, nor trapped below ground in a den of beguiling vampires, and definitely not in the heart of a wild jungle under the tutelage of esoteric witches. She just can't help herself around Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne, danger be damned. And what danger is there? Damien's heart, the one he swears to not have, has been softening right before her eyes. Perhaps with her guidance, Damien won't rain chaos and destruction down on the world. Perhaps she can even save them both as Damien searches for a way to magically unlink them on their quest to fulfill their destinies.
So, when Amma learns she may have ancient, innate magical powers of her own, why not use them to do exactly as she pleases?

"A világ legkedveltebb mesélőjének sodró története a második esélyről, arról, hogy életünk a lehető legjobb is lehetne.
Charles Vincent-nak látszólag minden megadatott – gyönyörű feleség, vagyon, sikeres karrier. De a fényes lakkréteg elfedte, hogy Charles hiába kereste, nem lelte meg a boldogságot. Élete azonban örökre megváltozik, mikor egy éjszaka a normandiai parti úton autózva egy rettenetes pillanatban lezuhan a sziklafalról.
Csodával határos módon Charles nem hal meg. Sérült és hitehagyott, amikor egy házikóra bukkan, a kedves és szép Aude otthonára. Tüstént egymásba szeretnek. Aude meggyógyítja a férfit, Charles pedig rátalál a szenvedélyre, amely annyira hiányzott az életéből.
Majd rádöbben, hogy nem kell visszamennie. Dönthet úgy is, hogy egyszerűen eltűnik, hogy kilép előző életéből. Mintha a szeszélyes sors új kezdet esélyét kínálná fel. Ám Aude-nak is vannak titkai, és múltjuk kisvártatva mindent fenyegető jelenidővé válik."
Fragments of a Future Scroll
The 50th anniversary edition of a paradigm-shifting work by one of the most important Jewish figures in postwar America. By the time of his death, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (1924–2014), also known as Reb Zalman, had transformed the landscape of Judaism in America. The son of liberal Hasidic Jews, a Holocaust refugee, and a devoted Lubavitcher Hasid, Reb Zalman eventually left the traditional Hasidic fold and committed himself to seeding a mystical Jewish renaissance. An active participant in the counterculture and New Age movements, Reb Zalman began experimenting with different forms of Jewish ritual and contemplative practice—and their intersection with other spiritual traditions—ultimately founding the Jewish Renewal movement. Fragments of a Future Scroll, Reb Zalman's first book, was originally published by a small press in 1975 and, until now, was long out of print. A truly unique book—or "anti-book," as Shaul Magid refers to it in his new introductory essay—Fragments gathers Reb Zalman's first idiosyncratic attempts at articulating a renewed "Hasidism for the Aquarian Age," envisioning Judaism's evolving place and role within an emergent "planetary consciousness." This wild text presents an electrifying weave of sparks, flashes, stories, teachings, and ecstatically lyrical translations of traditional Jewish sources—"spiritual sheet music," as Reb Zalman called it. Full of boundary-breaking wisdom and crackling poetic oddity, Fragments of a Future Scroll is a book for people from all religious and spiritual traditions who are looking to experience the world—and consciousness itself—anew. This historic 50th anniversary edition presents an updated version of the original text, alongside essays by four contemporary Jewish thinkers—Rabbi Shaul Magid, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Rav Jericho Vincent, and Arthur Kurzweil—reflecting on Reb Zalman's enormous impact, and guiding contemporary readers into his paradigm-shifting worldview.

Ritsos in Parentheses
Winner of the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award, Academy of American PoetsA bilingual edition of three major poetry collections by one of the most important Greek poets of the twentieth centuryOne of the most prolific and popular of modern Greek poets, Yannis Ritsos follows such eminent predecessors as Cavafy, Sikelianos, and Seferis in the dramatic and symbolic expression of a tragic sense of life. The three volumes of Ritsos’s poetry translated here—Parentheses, 1946–47, Parentheses, 1950–61, and The Distant—document a three-decade poetic journey that reveals the evolution of the poet’s sensibility. This bilingual edition also features an insightful introduction from translator Edmund Keeley, whom Paul Muldoon has called “the gold standard in translators of Greek poetry.”
The Elegance of Ferns
Discover the weirdly wonderful world of ferns—plants that outlived the dinosaurs, inspired a Victorian-era obsession, and continue to enchant us with their mathematical perfection and lush beauty. Ancient and enigmatic, ferns captivate with understated elegance. Their fronds unfurl in perfect mathematical spirals, connecting us to Earth's primordial past. Victorian-era "fern fever" transformed these plants into cultural icons inspiring art and literature, while Maori traditions revere them as sacred links between heaven and earth. Ferns also played a central role in the picturesque movement, where artists like Reverend William Gilpin sought to capture their untamed naturalism in evocative landscapes. While for poets like John Clare, ferns symbolized a mystical connection to nature, their shadowy habitats offering a refuge for contemplation and melancholy. But ferns are more than symbols—they are ecological marvels, resilient and adaptive. Nitzke also explores the environmental and evolutionary importance of ferns, which have adapted to thrive in diverse environments, from the lush rainforests of New Zealand to the fossilized landscapes of Saxony. Their prehistoric dominance—towering three stories high—is preserved in fossilized remains 360 million years old. The Elegance of Ferns invites us to marvel at these living relics—symbols of beauty, cultural identity, and ecological resilience illuminating our connection to the natural world.

Defence Speeches
''But I must stop now. I can no longer speak for tears - and my client has ordered that tears are not to be used in his defence.''Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world: he dominated the Roman courts, usually appearing for the defence. His speeches are masterpieces of persuasion: compellingly written, emotionally powerful, and somtimes hilariously funny. This book presents five of his most famous defences: of Roscius, falsely accused of murdering his father; of the consul-elect Murena, accused of electoral bribery; of the poet Archias, on a citizenshiup charge; of Caelius, ex-lover of Clodia Metelli, on charges of violence; and of Milo, for mudering Cicero''s hated enemy Clodius. Cicero''s clients were rarely whiter-than-white; but so seductive is his oratory that the reader cannot help taking his side. In these speeches we are plunged into some of the most exciting courtroom dramas of all time.These new translations preserve Cicero''s literary artistry and emotional force, and achieve new standards of accuracy. Each speech has its own introduction, and a general introduction discusses Cicero''s public career and the criminal courts. The substantial explanatory notes guide the reader through the speeches, and offer new scholarship presented in a clear way.

Tell Me Where It Hurts
We can move the dial on pain.
Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain.
Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong?
We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain – influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been told – finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person, not just a body part.
Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight – it offers an empowering way forward.
