I Am A Wolf Tonight
“I looked at the carpet, stained red with the blood my husband had just thrown up. In that moment I made up my mind. Ignoring Jonathan’s wishes, I called an ambulance. Even in his weakened state, he glared at me with deep annoyance as I dialled 999”In October 2019, Thelma Ainsworth’s life changed forever. Her husband, Jonathan came home early from work saying he needed to go to the hospital. Later that evening tests revealed the unthinkable: Jonathan had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone. From the moment of John’s diagnosis, Thelma’s world rapidly fell apart. The life she knew was ripped away, replaced by one she couldn’t have imagined – and definitely didn’t want. As she navigates the shockwaves of her husband’s illness and sudden, devastating loss, Thelma is forced to confront hard truths about herself, her marriage, and the people around her. Grief becomes a mirror, exposing fractures, regrets, and vulnerabilities she can no longer ignore. Can she find a way to endure the unimaginable? Does she even want t? Am A Wolf Tonight by Thelma Ainsworth is an intimate and unflinching memoir of love, loss, and the raw reality of grief. When cancer takes someone you love, it leaves behind more than sorrow – it reshapes the very core of who you are. In this powerful debut, Thelma Ainsworth lays bare the heartbreak of loss, the complexities of mourning, and the relentless struggle of rebuilding a life as a single parent that will never be the same. With searing honesty, and poetic intensity, she explores the depths of grief, the fight to reclaim herself, and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward – no matter how broken the path. The first in the Surviving Badly series, I Am A Wolf Tonight is not just a story of loss; it’s a testament to survival, self-discovery, and the fierce, untamed strength that grief awakens.

Bon, Buddhism in the Tamang
The book explores the social, cultural, and religious history of the Tamang, an indigenous ethnic community primarily found in Nepal, with significant populations in India and other countries. The Tamang are known for their rich cultural heritage, language, and traditions. They practice Bon, the ancient religion of Tibet, and Lamaist Buddhism, embodying values from both belief systems. This Tamang tribe, part of the Tibeto-Mongoloid stock, is considered socially and culturally primitive. However, due to the lack of a written script, there is limited historical evidence to reconstruct the history of the Tamang community. Despite this scarcity of recorded information, the Tamang has a wealth of alternative sources such as folklore, folktales, songs, genealogical stories, and some Buddhist accounts. Some of the best examples of these alternative sources come from the roles of Tamba and Ganba.

The Birth of Democracy in South America
South America contains some of the oldest democracies in the world, yet we still know relatively little about how and why democracy arose in the region. Raúl L. Madrid argues that three main developments ? the professionalization of the military, the growth of parties, and splits within the ruling party ? led to democratization in the early twentieth century. Military professionalization increased the incentives for the opposition to abandon the armed struggle and focus on the electoral path to power. The growth of parties boosted the capacity of the opposition to enact and enforce democratic reforms that would level the electoral playing field. And ruling party splits created the opportunity for the opposition and ruling party dissidents to ally and push through reforms. This persuasive and original book offers important implications for the study of democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Momo - filmes borító
Momo, a történet borzas kis hősnője egy szál virággal a kezében és egy teknősbékával a karján sikeresen veszi fel a harcot a szürkék seregével, akik csalással elorozták az emberektől az időt. Az idő maga az élet, és az élet a szívben lakozik. Minél inkább takarékoskodnak vele, annál szegényebb, sivárabb és hidegebb lesz a jelenük, és annál idegenebbé válnak önmaguk számára is.
A világsikert aratott mű Kalász Márton fordításában olvasható.
K-pop Akadémia – Az átkozott reflektorfény
Azt hiszed, az iskola stresszes? Próbálj meg élőben szólózni, miközben egy démonkutyával harcolsz! Tél van a K-Pop Akadémián, Nari pedig a legnagyobb lehetőségét kapja: előadhatja a hőn áhított (és, öhm, talán egy kicsit elátkozott) Rivaldafény szólót az iskola holdújévi ünnepségén.
Szembenézni a félelmeivel már önmagában is hatalmas feladat, különösen úgy, hogy egy tüzes démonkutya szabadult el, amely a körülöttük lévő káoszból és önbizalomhiányukból táplálkozik. Így az AURA többi tagjával az oldalán és a feltörekvő fiúcsapat, a VORTEX segítségével Narinak össze kell szednie minden bátorságát, hogy tökéletesen énekeljen, közben megmentse az iskoláját, és bebizonyítsa: a barátság fénye erősebb a félelemnél.
Másképp gondolkodók: Autizmus
Mit jelent autistának lenni? Hogyan hat az autizmus az érzelmekre, a viselkedésre és a kapcsolatokra? Miként birkózhatnak meg az érintett gyerekek a kihívásokkal úgy, hogy közben az erősségeikre építenek?
A többszörös díjnyertes Másképp gondolkodók-sorozat második kötetének gyermek-neuropszichológus szerzői gyerekbarát nyelven és gyönyörű illusztrációkkal válaszolnak ezekre a kérdésekre. Az általános iskolás korosztálynak - és szüleiknek, pedagógusaiknak - szóló könyv három autista fiatal karakterén keresztül mutatja be az autizmus jellemzőit, valamint azt, hogy ezek milyen hatással lehetnek az érintettek életére.
Az elgondolkodtató kérdések és feladatok segítik a fiatal olvasókat abban, hogy jobban megértsék az autizmus diagnózisát, felfedezzék saját erősségeiket, és megtapasztalják az önelfogadás, az önbizalom erejét. Emellett a kötet gyakorlati stratégiákat is nyújt ahhoz, hogy kibontakoztassák képességeiket, és magabiztosabban boldoguljanak a mindennapokban.
A másképp gondolkodók ugyanis nem csak másképp látják a világot - gyakran ők azok, akik előre is viszik azt.
Šnek je pomalý, ale nikdy nemá zpoždění
Tichá revoluce proti kultuře spěchu a připomínka toho, že být pomalý neznamená být líný
Už vás někdy napadlo, že šnek, který se pohybuje pomalu, nikdy nedorazí na konec cesty? Už jste ho někdy chtěli popadnout a přemístit ho blíže k cíli? Nejen v Koreji, odkud autorka pochází, ale v celém našem moderním světě je rychlé a pohotové jednání obvykle spojováno s pílí, inteligencí a úspěchem. Pomalé tempo naopak s leností a nedostatečným úsilím. Základní pravda vesmíru je však ta, že v pomalém je obsaženo rychlé a v rychlém zase pomalé. Všechno je vzájemně propojeno a jedno bez druhého nemůže existovat. Tato filozofie nás vybízí nahlédnout trochu jiným způsobem nejen na svět a ostatní lidi, ale také na sebe samé.
Kniha Šnek je pomalý, ale nikdy nemá zpoždění přináší útěchu a klid. Její autorka, buddhistická mniška Jung-mok, nás učí, jak zpomalit a osvobodit se od stresu, který provází náš život v moderním světě plném shonu. Prostřednictvím příběhů z říše přírody, inspirovaných buddhistickou filozofií, se s námi Jung-mok podělí o svou laskavou moudrost a nabídne jednoduchá cvičení, jež nám pomohou žít šťastněji. Knížka vám otevře oči, abyste uviděli krásu, která nás obklopuje, a dokázali najít vnitřní mír a klid.
Podle lidských měřítek je rychlost šneka směšně malá. Podle měřítek světa je ale prostě dokonalá. Sbírka krátkých příběhů a moudrých jednohubek od korejské buddhistické mnišky Jung-mok nás vybízí, abychom více vnímali okolní svět, a radí, jak dosáhnout štěstí a spokojenosti.

Stručné dějiny konce světa
3000 let nenaplněných apokalyps, odložených soudných dnů a zrušených předpovědí zkázy v novince od autora bestselleru Dějiny lidských průserů
Máte pocit, že žijeme na konci dějin? Zdá se vám, že všechno hoří a jedna katastrofa střídá druhou? Tady je malá útěcha: nejste první, kdo to tak cítí. Pokud existuje něco, na čem se lidé napříč dějinami shodují, pak je to přesvědčení, že svět už dlouho nevydrží.
Tato kniha je o apokalypse a o tom, jak lidé vždy věřili, že je velmi blízko. Během tisíců let se setkáme s podivnými kulty, neúspěšnými proroky a masovou panikou, svatými válečníky vedoucími povstání v očekávání posledních dnů a obyvateli předměstí čekajícími na mimozemšťany, kteří je zachrání z planety Země odsouzené k zániku. Vrátíme se do období, kdy se svět potýkal současně s pandemií a klimatickou krizí. A podíváme se do budoucnosti, abychom si položili znepokojivou otázku: jak to všechno skončí?
Ale je to také kniha o tom, jak žijeme ve světě, kde se vždy vznáší hrozba katastrofy – ať už jde o šílence s jaderným tlačítkem, nebo pomalý kolaps životního prostředí. Protože když mluvíme o konci světa, máme na mysli konec našeho světa. Naše posedlost soudným dnem je ve skutečnosti o změně: o našem strachu z ní, o naší touze po ní a o tom, jak v ní nakonec můžeme najít naději.

Me and Mine
A novel about family, scarcity, and what it means to sell out as the world ends. The world hasn’t quite ended, but it’s getting there. Me and Mine imagines a not-so-distant future on the pre-apocalyptic shores of Lake Michigan. The West has dried up, the watershed has been contaminated, and water scarcity has driven most of the population inward from the coasts. Here, real estate interests run rampant and the possibility of snagging a house close enough to the Great Lakes to get fresh water has realigned global financial interests. And, as always, the working class is being pushed aside to make way for white and wealthy newcomers. Amidst the chaos, three brothers try to navigate this swiftly changing landscape. As one seeks influence in politics, the younger two are drawn into the dangerous, shadowy world of private security and militias. In the precarious new world that these three brothers navigate, J. M. Holmes offers a grim yet familiar future in which scarcity fuels resentment, resentment sparks extremism, and extremism ignites around the racial tensions of our present.
