Prairie Dogs – Ecology and Social Behavior
A comprehensive overview of the behavioral ecology of a highly social group of North American mammalsBest known for their large colonies, complex burrows, and frequent alarm calls, prairie dogs are diurnal, herbivorous rodents endemic to the grasslands of western North America. Prairie Dogs synthesizes forty-five consecutive years of John Hoogland’s pioneering field research on the ecology and social behavior of these remarkable animals, including many far-reaching discoveries published here for the first time. Hoogland investigates all four species of prairie dogs that inhabit the western United States, offering invaluable insights about cooperation and competition among social animals living under natural conditions. He examines topics ranging from alarm calls, mating, predation, and vigilance to conservation, dispersal, population dynamics, and potential avenues for future research. Hoogland presents a wealth of new findings, describing how prairie dogs give alarm calls not only for offspring but also for more distant kin such as nieces, nephews, and first cousins. He documents how females reap substantial benefits from copulating with more than one male; how they avoid incest with offspring, parents, and siblings but regularly copulate with more distant kin; how nonparental infanticide is a major cause of juvenile mortality and varies directly with colony density; and how females of one species improve reproductive success by killing nearby ground squirrels. Rich in personal stories and comparisons with more than five hundred other species ranging from amoebas to humans, this beautifully illustrated book is essential reading for behavioral ecologists and conservation biologists as well as mammalogists and curious naturalists. Hoogland’s magnum opus offers a master class in how to do careful long-term research.
High Elf with a Long Life Vol.1
After 120 years of serene forest life, a reincarnated high elf sets out for meat, monsters, and mayhem in this bold, high-fantasy isekai quest!For most high elves, the stillness of the Great Pulha Woodlands is paradise. For Acer, it’s been 120 years of stifling calm. Unlike his kin, Acer remembers another life—one as a human in a different world – complete with cravings for adventure, hearty meals, and the thrill of danger. Armed with his bow, spirit-blessed fruit, and centuries of skill, he abandons the sylvan idyll to carve out a new destiny beyond the forest.In High Elf with a Long Life, creator Kou Narita brings sharp humor and rich fantasy together in an isekai tale where leaving home after a century is just the beginning. Acer’s travels promise perilous dungeons, mythical beasts, and treasures worthy of legend, all while meeting allies (and enemies) as immortal patience finally gives way to excitement. For fans of epic yet lighthearted adventures, this series delivers a fresh spin on the long-life elf trope with humor, heart, and high-stakes action.
Případ Cassandra
Cassandra Granová je nalezena zavražděna ve svém luxusním bytě. Pachatel je rychle odhalen a odsouzen. O rok později ale na bývalého kriminalistu Antona Brekkeho čeká před domem sestra domnělého pachatele, která tvrdí, že byl její bratr nevinný. Tak jak to tedy bylo? Na bratra přece ukazovaly všechny indicie. Že by policie tehdy neodvedla pořádnou práci?
Anton se ve společnosti podcastera Kristiana Bolstada pustí do pátrání na vlastní pěst – a stopy vedou nejen hluboko do minulosti, ale také mimo Oslo. Ukazuje se, že zavražděná Cassandra nejspíš nebyla tak nevinná, jak se původně zdálo, a že pravý pachatel má na svědomí i smrt dalších lidí. Policistka, jejíž svědectví možná tehdy přispělo k odsouzení nesprávného muže, má zřejmě také své vlastní záměry. A v neposlední řadě se zajímá o Antona…

A Thousand Painted Hours
An epic, emotionally charged novel about love, art, and survival spanning 1900s colonial India to Blitz-era London by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids. In the shadow of the London Blitz, artist Elsie Turner clings fiercely to her canvases, refusing to let war dim the colors that define her. The bombs test her nerve, but the struggle also stirs memories of her golden youth in India and of the long-lost love of her life. The daughter of a British civil servant in the Himalayan station of Nainital, Elsie crosses cultural divides to forge an unlikely bond with Tanveer Singh, a Sikh prince with hopes, dreams, and far-reaching ideas. What begins as shared sketchbooks and stargazing becomes first love and a secret correspondence. When Elsie’s father is summoned to England, Elsie is severed from the world she knows—and is determined to preserve it through both her art and a connection with Tanveer that endures through the most tumultuous years of their lives. Across four decades and two continents, Elsie navigates a journey from lush colonial India to war-torn London, amid landscapes of beauty, protest, and peril. As past and present collide, the most impossible choices and sacrifices are yet to be made in the name of love, war, and survival. © 2026 by Barbara Samuel, all rights reserved.
Revolutionary Subjects
A literary history spanning borders and centuries to explore radicalization as portrayed in fictionTracing the evolution of socialist world literature from the nineteenth century to the present, Benjamin Kohlmann uncovers the formal repertoires through which a set of political ideals found aesthetic expression. At the heart of this study is the radical bildungsroman, a genre that subverts dominant narratives of individual formation. Broad in scope, Revolutionary Subjects explores the work of Balestrini, Chernyshevsky, Ding Ling, Lessing, Nizan, Sartre, Weiss, Wright, and many others. These novels challenge conventional ideas of selfhood and belonging, presenting new ways to imagine the self in relation to collective struggle and global solidarity.
Fed Up
'Wise, witty, and full of unexpected insights - a perfect book for anyone who cares about living well' Bill Bryson
Why is it so hard to decide what to eat? We are bombarded with conflicting advice on weight and health, fad diets and food pyramids. No wonder so many of us feel confused and guilty.
In Fed Up, Daniel Lieberman tackles this confusion head on with his trademark blend of lively storytelling and myth-busting science. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anthropology and physiology, he explains how humans first evolved to eat; how fire, farming and industrialization transformed our diets; and what that history combined with rigorous medical science can - and cannot - tell us about what to eat today to stay healthy and manage our weight. In each chapter, Lieberman explores what different diets - from Paleo to veganism to intermittent fasting - tell us about nutrition and health, even putting these diets to the test himself. His conclusion is liberating: there is no optimal diet. What matters instead is variety, moderation and finding out what works for you.
Clear-eyed, humane and always entertaining, Fed Up gives us the tools to make wiser, kinder choices about what we eat.

Star Wars: Cloak Of Deception
From New York Times bestselling author James Luceno comes a Star Wars adventure that reveals the action and intrigue unfolding directly before Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Mired in greed and corruption, tangled in bureaucracy, the Galactic Republic is crumbling. In the outlying systems, where the Trade Federation maintains a stranglehold on shipping routes, tensions are boiling over?while back in the comfort of Coruscant, the hub of civilized space and seat of the Republic government, few senators seem inclined to investigate the problem. And those who suspect Supreme Chancellor Valorum of having a hand in the machinations are baffled?especially when Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi foil an assassination attempt on the Chancellor.
With the crisis escalating, Valorum calls for an emergency trade summit. As humans and aliens gather, conspiracies sealed with large sums of money run rampant, and no one is entirely above suspicion. But the greatest threat of all remains unknown to everyone except three members of the Trade Federation who have entered into a shadowy alliance with a dark overlord. While the trio will be content with more money and fewer problems, Darth Sidious has grander, far more terrifying plans.
It is a time that tests the mettle of all those who strive to hold the Republic together?none more so than the Jedi Knights, who have long been the galaxy's best hope for preserving peace and justice. Yet despite their most valiant efforts, the meeting will explode into fiery chaos beyond everyone's worst fears . . .
Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil
The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic – and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil...
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy–and Separatist Councilmember – Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim... every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord–whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.
Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces – and bring the Republic to its knees.

Even more unexpected is Luxos’s increasing fondness for his stoic knight. The knights have never seen their king grow so close to someone – in fact, the two get along so well that rumors start to fly. Is Luxos’s admiration strictly for Pollyanna’s talent, or could the gossip have some truth to it?
