Laskavá a praktická příručka pro rodiče a pečovatele, kteří chtějí od raného dětství vychovávat silné a sebevědomé dívky. Kniha ukazuje, jak během prvních školních let položit pevné základy, z nichž mohou dívky čerpat po celý život.
Kate Rope s empatií a jemným humorem otevírá témata, která jsou pro dnešní školačky klíčová. Provází rodiče tím, jak dívkám pomoci poznat sebe sama, naslouchat svým emocím a budovat zdravý vztah k sobě.

Kniha se citlivě zabývá také tématy spojenými s tělem a dospíváním: pubertou, vztahy a sexualitou, tělesnou autonomií a souhlasem, prevencí zneužívání, vztahem k vlastnímu tělu i riziky dietní kultury a poruch příjmu potravy. Pomůže vám povzbudit vaše dcery v odvaze riskovat, dělat chyby, ozvat se a budovat zdravé vztahy.
Autorka vychází ze zkušeností dívek z odlišných rodin a kultur i z poznatků odborníků na vývoj dítěte a duševní zdraví. Nabízí srozumitelné rady, konkrétní tipy a podněty k důležitým rozhovorům, aniž by zahlcovala přemírou návodů.

Pravidla? Během měsíčního knižního turné svést víc milenců než ten druhý. Edwina sice píše žhavé romance, mimo stránky knih je ale spíš nesmělá. Její protivník William Haywood je okouzlující, sebevědomý… a nebezpečně přitažlivý. Začíná hra plná vášně a rivality. Co když se ale nenávist změní v touhu?

This is the Main Event
What if the life we long for isn’t elsewhere but rather right here, waiting to be discovere? oshua Luke Smith believes the greatest lie facing our generation is that the life we long for lies beyond the life that we have.

With depth, wisdom and storytelling, This Is the Main Event is your invitation to awaken to the sacred in your ordinary life. As Joshua claims, the extraordinary life is simply the one in which we practice presence – to ourselves, to others, to God. Every moment becomes meaningful when you recognise the God who meets you in it – a holy encounter accessed in the everyday. Whether you’re packing lunches, paying bills, headed to the office, a hospital or a recovery meeting, this is a book to help you receive the greatest gift you already have and to practice your own aliveness in your actual life. Ebury Vine: The Home Of Christian Living. Drawing on the deep roots of Christianity to cultivate curious minds and inspire faith-informed growth.

Art of Opposition
''What a triumph ... One of Britain''s most gifted and inspiring writers'' – Sarah Hall''Every artist needs to read this book, there''s something for the soul on every single page'' Derek OwusuBoth as a novelist and as a screenwriter, Courttia Newland has found himself, through circumstance or choice, in a place of opposition to the commercial mainstream. Now, he reflects on what it means to be an artist operating in the margins and shares his experiences and observations for those facing similar hurdles and choices.Newland covers key aspects of creating beyond the mainstream, including centring your own voice; which voices are allowed full freedom of artistic expression and which are not; the importance of reading outside of the white Western canon; and how success shapes the work of historically excluded creatives. Alongside his own observations and experiences, he explores the work of – and in some instances interviews – other oppositional artists, including Percival Everett, Lou Mensah, Iain Banks, Jean Binta Breeze and others. The result is a startling provocation, and a galvanising vindication of refusing to conform.
