Yoga Therapy with Autistic Adults
Yoga therapy is uniquely suited to addressing the needs of autistic clients, yet there are very few opportunities for yoga therapists to learn about the adaptations and approaches that best serve this population. This book provides yoga therapists with the resources they need to make their services accessible to autistic adults without intellectual disability. Elizabeth Walen Walunas, an experienced autistic yoga therapist, examines the social and medical contexts of autism and explores ways of integrating this knowledge into yogic practices. Chapters include research on the potential benefits of yoga and mindfulness adapted for autistic adults, insights into adaptations used in healthcare and mental healthcare and finally applications of traditional yogic frameworks including kosha, guna and adhi-vyadhi theories. Offering yoga and mindfulness practices tailored to different presentations of autistic traits, this guide allows yoga therapists to provide the safe, empowering and empathetic support that their autistic clients deserve. With this multi-dimensional approach, yoga therapists will be well equipped to begin collaborating with their adult autistic clients.

My Father and the Silver King
Ambrose Erswell ran away from home in London’s East End when he was seven years old, lived on the streets and joined a gang of child pickpockets. At nine he signed on as a “ship’s boy” on a clipper ship sailing to South America — an experience so grim he vowed never to go to sea again. In a bicycle shop, where he found a job, he saw his first automobile. It was the beginning of a lifelong passion for cars. By twelve years of age he’d become a chauffeur. When he saw The Silver King, a melodrama in which the wronged hero is redeemed after making a fortune in a silvermine in South America, he decided that his life must follow a similar trajectory. Like the hero of the play, this cockney lad, who would eventually (in his mid-fifties) become the author’s father, left England and made a fortune in an unlikely business in Australia. The author traces her attraction to the music of the Piraeus underworld and the men who sang the rembetika to her father and to the Music Hall songs she was raised on.

Wilderness of Mirrors
To satisfy his father's request that he rescue his drifting cousin, Emil - a young Creole from a wealthy background - sets aside his medical studies to move in with his working-class relatives in the unfamiliar city of Stadmutter - the mother city. Among his indifferent kin Emil is first disquieted by days of aimlessness and then diverted by his sexual and intellectual encounters with Bolling, a rich, Haitian-German autodidact with preternatural charisma. Emil begins an ambiguous relationship with Tamsin, a graduate student obsessed with Sigmund Freud's theories and with her place in a society marked by shifting cultural hierarchies.. Beneath its veneer of indolence, Stadmutter seethes. Through his relationships with Bolling and Tamsin, Emil is pulled into the orbit of Braeem Shaka - the leader of a Creole movement that is threatening the country's fragile racial progress with its demands for reparations - and ever further from the possibility of a return to his earlier life as a promising neurosurgeon.
Master and Cartographer
‘Fascinating and elegantly written, Master & Cartographer introduces a largely forgotten naval hero of Stuart England’ – N.A.M. Rodger, author of The Safeguard of the Sea, The Command of the Ocean and The Price of VictoryThis is a book about maps and map-making, about power and class, and about war, seamanship and navigation. It is a study of wealth, patronage and money, in an England riven by religious disorder and toxic politics. Greenvile Collins (1643–94) was a naval warrant officer who caught the attention of a King. His seagoing career took him from Patagonia to the Arctic, into battles against Dutch men of war and Barbary corsairs, and to the slave markets and Silk Road ports of the Mediterranean. A scientific navigator, his professional drive drew him to Shetland, the Scilly Isles and all points in between, as he undertook the most ambitious hydrographic survey of the British coastline yet attempted. Then, even as he laboured to complete his monumental sea atlas, he was summoned yet again to the service of the Crown. The Glorious Revolution was a campaign of crisis for a deeply conflicted Royal Navy, and a crucial test of loyalty for Greenvile Collins and his fellow officers. ‘Greenvile Collins emerges as a sympathetic hero, who served three kings while compiling invaluable charts and navigational data for his fellow sailors. Not since Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin novels have I enjoyed such rollicking armchair adventures at sea’ – Dava Sobel, author of Longitude

Dick AwardNicholas is a would-be poet and video-store clerk with a weeping hole in his hand - weeping not blood, but a plasma of tears... It began with Nakota and her crooked grin.

Then Nakota began her experiments: First, she put an insect into the hole. Then a mouse... Now from down the hall, the black hole calls out to Nicholas every day and every night.

History at its most gripping' Daily Telegraph on The Lion HouseA ground-breaking, present-tense reconstruction of the life and world of one of the most consequential figures in world history, Suleyman the Magnificent, from the author of The Lion HouseChosen by The Times as one of the Best Books of 2025‘A wonderful book – entrancing, addictive, full of effortless erudition’ Rory StewartIstanbul, 1538.

Dračia kaviareň
Saphira si splnila sen: v mestečku s osobitým kúzlom si otvorila kaviareň, kde sú vítaní všetci, dokonca aj dračie mláďatá. No keďže jej malí šupinatí zákazníci neustále podpaľujú zariadenie, jej podnikanie visí na vlásku.
O nezbedných dračích drobcoch vie svoje aj Aiden. Po bratovi, vychýrenom dračom jazdcovi, zdedil vajce a z neho sa vyliahol neposedný Sparky, ktorý samotárskemu majiteľovi poriadne komplikuje starostlivosť o milované rastliny. Keď Aiden vidí, ako to Saphire, odmalička túžiacej po vlastnom drakovi, so Sparkym ide, ponúkne jej dohodu. Ak mu ona vycvičí jeho neposlušné mláďa, on jej pomôže udržať kaviareň nad vodou.
Obaja vedia, že sú riešením problémov toho druhého, lenže vysmiata Saphira a mrzutý Aiden nemôžu byť rozdielnejší. Do cesty sa im stavajú temné tajomstvá dračích rodín, no aj iskry, ktoré nedbajú na triedne rozdiely. Bude aj toto nečakané vzplanutie pohromou... alebo v ich srdciach zažne viac než len vášeň?

Dlhá cesta domov
Spisovateľ Peter Valo zaznamenával príbeh otca Antona Hlinku pri rozhovoroch u saleziánov na bratislavskej Miletičke. Stručný osud tohto významného kňaza a spisovateľa zverejnil v knižke publicistických medailónov Nezostalo po nich ticho 3. Pre komplexnejší pohľad na túto osobnosť knižku plnú epizód z Hlinkovho života DLHÁ CESTA DOMOV doplnil o spomienky Hlinkových priateľov prof. Milana S. Ďuricu, Ing. Júliusa Bindera a ThDr. Jána Košiara.
Po prečítaní tejto knižky zistíme, že Hlinkove myšlienky sú aktuálne stále: „Tí, ktorí sú zodpovední za spoločné dobro, musia postihnúť tých, ktorí ohrozujú nespravodlivosťou, lžou, protiprávnym postupom, nemravným správaním spoločenské dobro alebo dobro jednotlivých občanov. Ak vládca nezaujme postoj voči nespravodlivosti, násiliu, zločinom, vypomstí sa to na spoločnosti a národe tým, že zlo bujnie a narastá do takých rozmerov, že usporiadaný život v spoločnosti sa vážne ohrozí, alebo nie je viac možný. Po každom narušení spravodlivosti musí nasledovať sankcia, aby sa nadobudla nová rovnováha a aby sa dal exemplárny príklad tým, ktorí bez dozoru spoločenských orgánov postupovali od jedného násilia k druhému, od jednej nespravodlivosti k druhej.“
