Stahl's Deprescriber's Guide
For decades, psychiatry has focused on initiating treatment—which medication to prescribe, in what dose, and for how long. But what happens when treatment needs to stop? How a medication is stopped is just as important as how it is started, and abrupt discontinuation can lead to unnecessary suffering, relapse, and often preventable withdrawal symptoms. Based on the principles of the bestselling Stahl's Prescriber's Guide, this essential resource provides user-friendly guidance on deprescribing or switching psychotropic medications safely and effectively. 64 medications are presented in a consistent format to facilitate rapid access to deprescribing information. Divided into color coded sections, the book allows the reader to identify key details about when and why to deprescribe, the risks and mechanisms of withdrawal, tapering protocols, cross-titration strategies, and how to distinguish withdrawal symptoms from relapse. Evidence-based recommendations and expert clinical insights make this a must-have manual for all psychiatric prescribers.

Lucian Freud
"One of the best books ever written by one painter about another." ? John Russell, The New York Times
First published in 1982, Lawrence Gowing's Lucian Freud is an intimate portrayal of one of the twentieth century's most exceptional artists. At once a pivotal narrative, a furtive autobiography, and a profound exploration of what it means to think through paint, this book represents a historically significant collaboration between two of modern art's brightest minds.
Drawing on forty years of friendship?as well as his own painterly intuition?Gowing's commentary pushes language to the very edge of meaning, evoking the richness of Freud's art with poetic incisiveness as he locates, within the paint itself, "a coiled vigilance and . . . a serpentine litheness in the ready, rapid way in which an object was confronted."
Freud's deep involvement in the original book offers rare insight into the artist as he was in the 1980s. The conversations and questions that shape Gowing's text produced some of Freud's most memorable and widely quoted reflections, while Freud's choice and grouping of paintings and drawings reveal unexpected connections across his works, as seen through his eyes.
Completely redesigned and reissued after many years out of print, this book remains a landmark publication on Lucian Freud.

The Japanese art of Sashiko is a joyful and practical method of decorative repair. It is a hand sewing technique with a long and colourful history, based on simple stitches that anyone can pick up, regardless of skill level. This book contains both simple and advanced patterns to cater to those both new and well-versed in this timeless craft.
Sashiko is used to repair and decorate clothing, bed covers, tablecloths; nearly any textile you could think of. It is a functional, decorative way to give new life to tired or damaged clothing. In Mending with Sashiko, you will learn how to sew with different techniques such as hitomezashi, moyozashi and koginsashi, and learn which techniques are best for which materials. There are direct instructions on how to mend jeans, shirts, socks and more, as well as how to utilise your new skills on larger projects, such as patchwork quilts.
Takao 'Momi' Momiyama is a renowned artist and Sashiko practitioner, and in Mending with Sashiko you are invited into his workshop where he shares his best tips and tricks for successful stitching. You can dive into Momi's archive and take a closer look at garments that he has repeatedly repaired with Sashiko over the years; in some cases, up to 40 years. You can observe how this continuous cycle of wear, tear and repair affects the clothing in a way that is rarely seen in our throw-away culture, and see how mending your clothes with Sashiko, either simply with functionality in mind or with more intricate embroidery patterns, turns your clothes into unique and sustainable pieces for life.
Maloměstská idyla / Z krajského města
Devátý svazek díla J. K. Šlejhara přináší dvě povídkové sbírky z autorova pozdního tvůrčího období. Oba tituly spojuje městská tematika, avšak na rozdíl od předchozí sbírky Z Prahy v nich nejde o obraz velkoměstského prostředí, ale o zachycení osudů obyvatel menších měst. Maloměstská idyla odráží život v autorově podkrkonošském rodišti, v kraji jeho dětství a mládí; povídky souboru Z krajského města pak byly inspirovány jeho pobytem v Kolíně, kde v prvních letech 20. století působil jako středoškolský učitel. V čele každé sbírky stojí jedna stěžejní próza, určující ráz Šlejharovy pozdní tvorby. V Maloměstské idyle je to rozsáhlá povídka Kyvadlo věčnosti, v níž se velké kyvadlo radniční věže proměňuje v symbol nikdy nekončícího běhu času, který vymaňuje hrdinu z nesnesitelných podmínek pozemského života. V druhé sbírce je to pak Zátoka smrti, mocný obraz přírodního zákoutí, v němž řeka strhává do svého neodolatelného víru vše živé. Obě prózy, v nichž vrcholí Šlejharův svébytný symbolismus, spolu s ostatními povídkami podávají obraz neblahého údělu člověka.

Lives in Common
Challenging the received wisdom, this candid portrait of three cities reveals a history of co-existence between Muslims, Christians and Jews from the nineteenth century until the present day. Most books dealing with the Israeli–Palestinian conflict see events through the eyes of policy-makers, generals or diplomats. Menachem Klein offers an illuminating alternative by telling the intertwined histories, from street level upwards, of three cities — Jerusalem, Jaffa and Hebron — and their intermingled Jewish, Muslim and Christian inhabitants, from the nineteenth century to the present. Each of them was and still is a mixed city. Jerusalem and Hebron are holy places, while Jaffa till 1948 was Palestine’s principal city and main port of entry. Klein portrays a society in the late Ottoman period in which Jewish-Arab interactions were intense, frequent, and meaningful, before the onset of segregation and separation gradually occurred in the Mandate era. The unequal power relations and increasing violence between Jews and Arabs from 1948 onwards are also scrutinised. Throughout, Klein bases his writing not on the official record but rather on a hitherto hidden private world of Jewish-Arab encounters, including marriages and squabbles, kindnesses and cruelties, as set out in dozens of memoirs, diaries, biographies and testimonies. Lives in Common brings together the voices of Jews and Arabs in a mosaic of fascinating stories, of lived experiences and of the major personalities that shaped them over the last 150 years.
