Railroaded
The New York City subway system is one of the largest and oldest in the world, still carrying traces of the transport systems that came before it. Some of its elevated tracks are remnants of steam railroads, and some tunnels run where canoes served as ferries. For passengers, riding the subway can feel like stepping into another world, dark and dank and sometimes dangerous. Now just imagine what it's like to work there every day. One of the few subway workers who went on to earn a PhD from Harvard, historian Fred Naiden gives readers a firsthand look at what it was like to work as a subway porter, a motorman, and a locomotive engineer during the 1980s. He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.

But when Martok puts John’s bond up as collateral against a house in the woods that he hopes to turn into a wilderness retreat for wealthy grays, John learns that there are limits to Martok’s friendship. Soon he finds himself caught between an underworld boss, a girl raised by feral humans who has nothing but contempt for John, and Martok himself, whose delusions of grandeur seem to be finally catching up with him.

While her brothers are finding their soulmates and planning the rest of their lives, Manisha Patel is moving back in with her parents, dodging calls from her cheating Aquarius ex-boyfriend, and avoiding questions about her love life. Worse, she's being forced to help out her father's friend's son, and Manisha would rather be doing anything else.

But these things turn out to be the least of Manisha's worries when she gets the heartbreaking news that her dream of one day having a family might slip through her fingers. Then, a stroke of genius: What if there was a fake matchmaking service where Manisha was the only client? One single profile, countless eligible bachelors for Manisha to choose from. It's the perfect plan to find a husband and live happily ever after. . . . Isn't it?
Beavatás
„A könyvet személyes okok miatt regény formájában írtam. Mégis, akinek füle van, hallani fogja, hogy minden szó az igazságot adja vissza.” – Elisabeth Haich
Ez a számos nyelvre lefordított és világszerte több utánnyomást megélt nagy sikerű regény kapcsolatot teremt a nemzetközileg elismert tanító, Elisabeth Haich huszadik századi európai élete és reinkarnációs emlékei között. A modern kori keretbe ágyazott ősi események azokat az élettapasztalatokat írják le, amelyek a főhőst a spirituális útra vezették.
A misztikus önéletrajzi regény keretbe foglalja az óegyiptomi nagy beavatást, és válogatást ad Ptanhotep főpap tanításaiból, amelyek az univerzum, az emberi lélek és a sors okkult törvényeibe engednek bepillantást. A történet fiatal hősnője számtalan lélegzetelállító lelki kalandon át ismeri fel belső vezetőjét, reinkarnációs élményében azonosítja őt háromezer évvel korábbi tanítójával, a tisztánlátó főpappal, akitől annak idején mint a fáraó elszánt, de éretlen lányaként megkapta a beavatást. A misztika egész területét átfogó, és a karma, valamint a reinkarnáció törvényeit érzékletesen megjelenítő gondolatok, élmények és tapasztalatok egész tárháza nyílik meg előttünk.
Eközben a huszadik századi Európában is nyomon követhetjük az eseményeket, amelyek a gyermekkortól a felnőtté válásig, a háborún és meghatározó találkozásokon keresztül megmutatják, milyen hatalmas erővel bír, ha valaki befelé fordítja tudatának keresőfényét, és minden életeseményt tudatossága növelésére használ föl.
Elisabeth Haich olyan rejtett igazságokat oszt meg olvasóival, amelyek lehetővé teszik, hogy a megértés olyan fokára jussunk el, amely a megvilágosodáshoz szükséges. A Beavatás időtlen klasszikus, amelynek modern nyelvezete spirituális keresők nemzedékeinek jelentett eddig is inspirációt világszerte. Akár úgy olvassuk, mint egy misztikus igazságokat feltáró önéletrajzi regényt, akár úgy, mint Elisabeth Haich megvilágosodáshoz vezető kivételes útjának leírását, mély hatással lesz ránk. A Beavatás olvasása egyet jelent magával a beavatással.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken
If you are in the midst of great soul-sorrow, this book is written for you by someone who has been there too. Christians are often afraid to put language to deep suffering. It doesn't seem "holy" to outwardly grieve our losses, to lament our afflictions, to put up words like modern-day dust and ashes. This book is Sydney Anne Bennett's humble effort to sit beside you in the darkness and say, "I know. I feel it too. Let's go to Jesus right now, for we have nowhere else to go."After becoming disabled just two weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney was forced to reckon with a body that changed overnight and inhabit a faith that no longer fit tidy answers. Diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)--a condition that disrupts the brain's ability to send correction signals to the body—Sydney now lives with daily seizures, mobility loss, and chronic pain. Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken is not about overcoming disability. It is about learning to live truthfully before God and others with unresolved grief, humiliating dependence, and lingering limitations. It is about recognizing that faith does not resolve all questions neatly, and that dignity, courage, and steadfastness may remain even when independence disappears. God is present in bodies that no longer work as they once did. His presence makes broken things fearful and wonderful. This book is the companion Sydney wanted to have when she first became sick. Whether you are struggling with physical pain, disability, or illness, or are working through chapters of grief of a totally different kind, the answer to pain is always the same: Jesus will redeem your brokenness. He is building something—something fearful, yes. But also something wonderful.
Heartbeats
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR FATHER'S DAYNo one had ever played tennis quite like Björn Borg. With his incredible athleticism, powerful shot-making and distinctive style, he became a sensation after he burst onto the scene aged just 15. As he ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis, Borg experienced unprecedented stardom and success that changed the game forever. Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected the game's highest honours, including eleven Grand Slam titles - with five consecutive Wimbledon titles - establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of 26 and disappeared from tennis. After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe - considered one of the best in the sport's history - and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his personal life - for so long kept under wraps - including his childhood, his early stardom and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career. For the first time, readers will get Borg's own account of his career, his choices, and the experiences that shaped him as a person, from his childhood right up to today. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a fascinating look at the making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.

AI for Good
In contrast to the wave of noisy polemics around AI, AI For Good explores how, in practice, it can actually improve our lives and tells the stories of everyday citizens at the forefront of this new “AI entrepreneurship.”AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It’s not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to “break shit,” but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better.Josh Tyrangiel’s journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna’s success—and the end of the pandemic—depended on AI’s practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn’t the hero of the story—it was the tool that helped real people get things done.This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI’s quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection—places where it’s being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise.While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat—success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who’s interested in using AI—carefully, thoughtfully—to build a better world today.
