Treewilding
As we clear millions of hectares of forests globally, the challenge of restoring these precious ecosystems becomes ever more pressing. The stakes are high: a staggering 95% of Earth’s land could succumb to degradation by 2050. While the task might appear straightforward – simply plant millions of trees – the reality is far more perplexing. Haphazard tree-planting in unsuitable locations can wreak havoc on ecosystems and jeopardise the livelihoods of local communities. The surge of interest in restoring forests has ushered in a wave of greenwashing, where deceptive environmental marketing and scientific mishaps undermine genuine efforts. Yet this new focus also brings forth a plethora of solutions and many rays of hope. Amidst such a landscape, cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge together can redefine our understanding in a way that not only helps regenerate nature but also allows human communities to thrive. This original, topical and engaging book navigates the complex realm of forest restoration. It reveals how a nuanced approach is required – one that integrates the latest scientific advancements (for instance in microbial ecology, acoustic technology and epigenetics), Indigenous leadership and a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of life within these vital ecosystems. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our relationship with trees and how we must see the woods (intricate social and ecological systems) for the wood (timber) – a realisation that is perhaps the biggest ‘secret’ to restoring nature.
The Lion and the Deathless Dark - Crowns of Nyaxia 5
Some blood tastes like vengeance. Some blood tastes like grief. Some blood tastes like nothing at all. Under an eternal night, the world has been ravaged by ten years of war between humans and vampires. Kyrene scrapes by as a bounty hunter, bearing a blessed sword from the goddess of justice. But in the wake of a devastating loss, Kyrene commits a crime that makes her a target for mortals and gods alike - and she is still desperate for vengeance.
Her only chance at survival - and revenge - is making a deal with her enemy, the silver-tongue vampire prince, Septimus, who offers her one final job: to slay the gods themselves. Together, Kyrene and Septimus must hunt the ultimate marks, all while navigating a web of prophecies and curses. Septimus is calculating and mysterious, masking secrets bloodthirsty enough to consume them both. Yet, most dangerous of all, Kyrene finds an unexpected kinship in him.
But their growing attraction is deadly in a world where the only currency is blood. And Kyrene will stop at nothing to fulfill her ultimate goal: to kill the goddess of vampires, even if it means sacrificing love for revenge.
The Lion in the Deathless Dark is a compulsive dark fantasy from Carissa Broadbent, and the first book in the Bloodborn Duet, the fifth book in the Sunday Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series.

Dílna ji k sobě táhne svým teplem, směsí vůně hlíny a kávy, milou majitelkou Čohi a členy s podobně náročnými životy. Pec, schopná dosáhnout žhavějších teplot než venkovní letní počasí, Čongmin rozpaluje její zamrzlou mysl.

The Lunatics - Lunatics 1
A GRIPPING PARANORMAL ROMANCE FROM THE NO.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LIGHTS OUT
Anything can happen during a full moon . . .
Layla Fitzpatrick lives a simple life . . . for a werewolf. And that's just how she likes it-the scent of woodsy air, the ability to run free whenever she wants. Everything changes one summer night when she attends a ritual bonding ceremony. She thought she was only there to support her friend, but midway through, the magic seizes her, and Layla's suddenly mated to the most arrogant shifter she's ever met. How in the world is she supposed to spend her life with him?
Layla has no idea that man in the pristine business suit is hiding deep secrets. That Michael Kolbeck spends his nights prowling the streets of Boston, where shifters, witches, and vampires walk a delicate tightrope of uneasy peace. Layla wants to rebel against every aspect of her new life, but unless she and Michael can unlock the true powers of their mating bond, that thin veneer of peace among all supernatural beings is about to vanish.

Marvel: What If...The Multiverse Was Doomed
What If....the Watcher saved the Multiverse?
Victor von Doom has scoured across time, space, and countless dimensions and yet has never been closer to the home he's been searching for. At long last, he has found the reality with his son, Franklin, a boy who welcomes him with open arms.
However, soon after they meet, Victor discovers the boy was never a von Doom, but a Richards; the son of his arch-nemesis Reed Richards. Blinded by the sting of this loss, Victor von Doom will simply use Franklin and his powers as the key to ensuring the Multiverse can never break his heart again.
With Doctor Doom only a heartbeat away from gaining unlimited control over all reality in every universe, America Chavez must gather a team of nexus beings from across the Multiverse to make one last stand. Loki, the Scarlet Witch, Kitty Pryde, and Venom-Moon Knight must give up the comfort and safety of their own universes to take up arms as a new band of Avengers to save everything they've ever known and everyone they've ever loved.

Baťa a Ja(na) Piteková
Kniha ponúka jedinečný česko-slovenský dialóg medzi nadčasovými myšlienkami Tomáša Baťu a autorskými úvahami štvornásobnej mamy, ktorá sa ekonómii venuje 40 rokov. Každý Baťov citát v pôvodnom českom znení dopĺňa slovenská reflexia s jemnosťou ženského srdca, ktorá jeho odkaz rozvíja, konfrontuje so súčasnosťou a hľadá odpovede na otázky dnešnej doby. Je určená nielen obdivovateľom Tomáša Baťu, ale každému, kto hľadá hlbší zmysel práce, podnikania, rodiny, zodpovednosti a osobného rastu.
Nejde o historickú publikáciu ani o odbornú učebnicu. Je to pozvanie k premýšľaniu o tom, ktoré hodnoty zostávajú aktuálne naprieč storočím. Výnimočnosť knihy spočíva v tom, že bola napísaná za 4 hodiny počas čítania Myšlenek Tomáše Bati (Nadace Tomáše Bati, Zlín, 2023). Grafický dizajn spracoval manžel autorky, ktorý pochádza tak ako Tomáš Baťa z Valašska a študoval v Zlíne a Brne. Zaujímavosťou je, že starí otcovia autorky ako aj jej manžela sa živili tak ako Baťa, „ševcovinou“.

Enter a world ruled by tyrants and thieves, where magic is outlawed, revolution brews, desire is dangerous, and an impossible cure may prove deadlier than the curse.Never run. Never bow. Never die. Reya Connery became the Crimson Dagger, the most notorious thief in Rhiterra, by following a strict set of rules. One: There is no honour among thieves. Two: A good blade is key to any negotiation. Three: Only the dead keep secrets. And Reya has a secret that must be kept at all costs.

A male of honour, Caelan loathes everything the beautiful, cocky thief represents, yet knows that Reya is his last hope for survival. Their search takes them to the edge of the known world, where Reya discovers that there is far more at stake than her and Caelan’s own lives.

Introducing an epic, slow burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy novel about a heroine forged in steel and rage, and the cursed immortal who might turn out to be as much her salvation as she is his, perfect for fans of Danielle L. Jensen and Callie Hart.
A boldog hentes felesége
"Az én csillagom a zsírban hisz. Meg van róla győződve, hogy a világban azért van annyi baj és boldogtalanság, mert az emberek megvonják maguktól az éltető zsírt, még a tejben meg a tejfölben sem tűrik meg, és sovány, zsírtalan húsokkal kínozzák magukat, amik ha akarnának se tudnának finomak lenni, hiszen miben oldódjanak az aromák meg az ízhordozó szabadgyökök, ha egyszer egy szikra zsír sincs bennük? Ezért aztán mi minden nap húst eszünk. Kivéve vasárnap, akkor zsírt."
Bíró Zsófia regénye egy reménytelenül beteljesült szerelem története. Egy megszállott séf feleségének gasztrokiáltványba oltott vallomása a hús gyönyöreiről és kínjáról, az evés és az etetés szentségéről és arról, hogyan lehet egy étterem, egy konyha pokol és menny egyszerre.

Enough About Love
An enthralling, shrewdly funny novel about marriage and infidelity that shows how passion can upend our settled lives—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Anomaly. Any man—or woman—who wants to hear nothing—or no more—about love should put this book down.Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.
