The Roofless Truth
First comprehensive survey on the pressing challenge of homelessness and what urban design and architecture contribute to fight it
Brings together groundbreaking research, field reports, and award-winning projects and initiatives from Canada, Germany, Iran, Switzerland, and the US
Offers insights into current topics such as trauma-informed design, design justice, hostile architecture, architecture of asylum, and tactical urbanism
Includes a comprehensive glossary of key terms related to homelessnessHomelessness is one of the most pressing social challenges of our time, and is closely linked to issues of urban design and architecture. Homeless people are part of urban society and depend on accessible public spaces and urban infrastructure. Yet, in cities around the world, local governments use policies and urban planning to ward off street people, aiming at making them invisible in the cityscape and deliberately impeding certain forms of stay. Urban design always reflects power structures—it can exclude or open up avenues for participation.
The Roofless Truth brings together contributions by international researchers and practitioners from the fields of architecture, urban development and design, sociology, ethnology, social work, and education. It offers academic analyses and essays, field reports, and student proposals for interventions in public space, and features award-winning projects and initiatives in Canada, Germany, Iran, Switzerland, and the US.
The book highlights how public spaces should be designed to offer protection, dignity, and opportunities for homeless people, and to facilitate encounters and interaction. The featured examples impressively demonstrate that even the smallest spatial decision can determine inclusion or exclusion. The Roofless Truth paints a multifaceted picture of planning and design as a social practice beyond representation and prestige.
Éjjeli erdő
A Hideghegy és A nyomkeresők szerzőjének szédületes új regénye feszültséggel teli szerelmi történet a korai 1960-as évek Észak-Karolinájából. Luce az Appalache-hegység buja, vad vidékén, egy elhagyatott vidéki fogadóban él, távol a kisvárosi közösségtől, amelyben felnőtt.
Önként vállalt magányát azonban kénytelen megszakítani, amikor magához kell vennie nővére két vad természetű kisgyermekét. A gyerekek egyetlen szót sem szóltak azóta, hogy végignézték anyjuk brutális meggyilkolását, és különös vonzalom alakult ki bennük ki a tárgyak összetörése és a gyújtogatás iránt. Amikor semmirekellő apjukat a bíróság felmenti és szabadon engedi, az események fellángolnak, nehézségeket, reményt és halálos fenyegetést hozva a fiatal nő otthonába…
Charles Fraziert transzcendens prózája, virtuóz történetmondása és az emberi természetről tett érzékeny megfigyelései emelték világszerte közkedvelt és elismert íróvá. Mindezek a Nightwoods lapjain váratlan humorral, éles párbeszédekkel és húsba vágó realizmussal társulnak, megalkotva a szerző talán legizgalmasabb és legemlékezetesebb főszereplőit.
The Planetary Dialogues
Welcome to The Planetary Dialogues, where polaritybecomes poetry. In this lyrical work, born out of a deep and difficult lovebetween its two authors, astrology expresses itself as theatre, as a livingdialogue between cosmic agencies, imagination, and the human soul. In 2014, Andreea and John found themselves on a healingjourney, where astrology, poetry, and dramatic enactment alchemised theirtensions into a creative work. As planetary actors engage in rhymed dialogue, their exchangesreveal the intelligence within polarity, where difference sharpens awarenessand conflict unveils hidden kinship. Twelve years in the making, drawing inspiration from mythand ancient wisdom, this work invites readers into a celestial drama. Archetypal voices mirror the human experience and Gaia, our ancient Mother,emerges as the mediating force who gathers all oppositions into wholeness. Enter a world where the planets speak in rhyme and theheavens become a stage.
She Waits Where Shadows Gather
Parents should pass down stories, not spirits…
Avery and Carlos Tam have built their lives on logic, not legends. Carlos, the host of a hit reality show that exposes paranormal hoaxes, has made a name disproving the supernatural.
But when they travel to his ancestral home in the Philippines, darkness clings to every corner. The mirrors are shrouded. The housekeeper won't stay in the house alone. And no one will speak of the tragedies the family has seen.
Then a brutal car crash leaves Carlos trapped in his own body-silent, helpless, and utterly vulnerable. As Avery tends to him, the house begins to stir. It watches. It listens. And it speaks-in a voice only Carlos can hear-offering a twisted kind of comfort.
And as the lies buried by Carlos and his family begin to surface, Avery must confront the truth: if the past won't rest, their future may never begin.
Some inherit memories. Others inherit monsters.
Úsvit Nového veku
Keď sa hrozby z legiend vracajú, minulosť krváca a budúcnosť sa mení na zbraň.
Tajomný felidiánsky vládca s dvoma tvárami – felidiansky šľachtic Feron a hraničiar z tieňov Paris z Hadej zátoky – stojí na prahu vojny, ktorá môže zničiť celý kontinent. V kráľovstve, kde sa mágia prelína s politikou a čestnosť s úskokom, sa čoraz viac rozmotáva sprisahanie staré ako samotný tretí vek.
Spolu so svojím dôverníkom Kastorom a mentorom Marcusom, synom Foxovým, musí Paris čeliť Kal-Tarish – národu z mýtov, ktorý sa vrátil so zhubnou túžbou po pomste. A zatiaľ čo čarodejnícka univerzita ticho zrádza, Astatický rád sa pripravuje na rozhodujúci boj.

The Rise and Fall of American Europe
At the dawn of the Cold War, the US administration pushed reluctant Europeans to create a federation of democratic states. In doing so, they gave birth to an American Europe – a new political order protected by the US military and buoyed by transatlantic trade. Europe now faces a stark reality. The Trump Administration dislikes NATO, considers the EU's trade policies "worse than China['s]," and attacks the banning of nationalist parties. Many in the MAGA movement are similarly hostile to Europe, which they see as an overregulated museum, a US dependency, powerless on the world-stage. This book explains why American Europe fell from favor. It weighs the prospects of alternative European political orders, including a National-Sovereigntist Europe, a Global Europe, and a European Europe. It argues that Europe needs to rethink its alliances, and Britain must decide where it belongs.
Poems
'His writing is not about something; it is that something itself' Samuel Beckett
James Joyce's towering genius as a novelist has often overshadowed his achievements as a poet, yet his verse occupies a pivotal position in his career. This new edition comprises all the poetry that was published in Joyce's lifetime, including his highly accomplished 1907 debut Chamber Music, which fused exuberant lyricism with sharp irony, and the later collection Pomes Penyeach, which confronted adultery, jealousy and betrayal. Also included here are the satirical poems 'The Holy Office' and 'Gas from a Burner', and 'Ecce Puer', written for his new-born grandson.
With a new introduction and notes by Clare Hutton.

Beštiárium (zbierka poviedok)
Pred sebou máme pozoruhodnú zbierku poviedok – vtipnú aj poučnú, ako len dobrá literatúra môže byť, so všetkými znakmi postmodernej prózy z konca 20. storočia, pričom nejde o výsledok dobových trendov a ich kopírovania, ale autorkinho talentu a estetickej vynaliezavosti. Slovinská spisovateľka a prekladateľka Maja NOVAK (*1960, Jesenice) svojou vrstevnatou prózou Zverjad (Beštiárium) „zmenila hru“ v slovinskej literatúre a doslova premiešala karty na osiach fiktívne verzus reálne, vysoké verzus nízke, lokálne verzus globálne v literatúre. Za zbierku v jej prvom vydaní (1996) doma získala – spolu s románom Cimre (Spolubývajúce) – dôležitú, tzv. malú Prešernovu cenu. Autorkina nezáväzná hra s kocúrmi a mačkami, duchmi a upírmi, detičkami, umelcami a cestovateľmi, sociálnymi a národnostnými vrstvami spoločnosti, búriacimi sa rodinnými príslušníkmi (a výpočet postáv a ich rolí tým nie je ani zďaleka vyčerpaný) v konečnom dôsledku poukazuje na krutosti, ktoré sú schopní ľudia napáchať v mene moci, národa, vyššieho princípu, dejín, viery, neviery, autorít, vlastného Ega, nevedomosti, poznania, reálneho či symbolického zisku... tematické zápletky v jednotlivých textoch sa však odohrávajú v sprievode rafinovaných naratívnych štruktúr, duchaplných postupov aj inteligentnej zábavy a spolu smerujú k literárnemu pôžitku, na ktorý sa nezabúda ani po rokoch. Knihu zo slovinčiny preložila Stanislava CHROBÁKOVÁ REPAR, tiež autorka úvodu, doslov napísala slovinská sociologička a komparativistka Ana Marija Sobočan (pôvodne k druhému, opravenému a rozšírenému vydaniu poviedok v slovinčine, 2011). Preklad vychádza vo vydavateľstve Fraktál, o. z., ako 1. zväzok edície Narratio (layout a grafické riešenie: Eva Kovačevičová Fudala).

Unicorns
A humorous and deeply human short story collection that celebrates outsiders, dreamers, and the queer.
The award-winning Slovak writer Barbora Hr?nová's short stories paint an intimate portrait of people searching for happiness in a world that feels increasingly unstable and uncertain. Across the eight stories in this volume, we meet a rich cast of ordinary yet unconventional people trying to find their place in a society that often prefers conformity over authenticity. Taking us to such settings as a bustling cafe, a small village shack, a rental flat, or a psychiatric ward, Hr?nová captures the texture of everyday life with piercing accuracy and a fresh, original voice.
Unicorns is a remarkable debut that resonates across generations. With compassion, wit, and an eye for detail, it shows us that weirdness isn't rare-it's a universal human experience.
As I Please
Only edition in printAfter leaving his job with the BBC Eastern Service in November 1943, George Orwell became literary editor of Tribune magazine, penning a regular column called “As I Please” between 3rd December 1943 and 4th April 1947. Encompassing political opinion, literary criticism and social critique, Orwell’s editorials represent an invaluable commentary on the major cultural issues that preoccupied Britain during and after the war. Collected here in one volume, and fully annotated, these opinion pieces showcase Orwell’s polemical brilliance and cement his reputation as one of the finest journalists and literary writers in the English language.

If Books Could Kill
She thought she was in a romance. Fate threw her into a thriller. Will happily-ever-after still be on the cards when fiction and reality blur for Roxie?
When Roxie makes a tongue-in-cheek wish to live out the plot of her favourite author's next novel, she has romance in mind - namely, the sweet, safe, swoon-worthy storylines Anna Matthews is known for. It should be a dream come true when her wish is granted by a mysterious busker, and she finds herself swept into a fairy tale first date with a dashing stranger who seems destined to take her breath away.
Except for one little hiccup: that dashing stranger tries to take her breath away. Literally. With a knife. The thing is, Roxie may be the new Anna Matthews protagonist - but this time, Anna is writing a crime thriller.
Thrown into a perilous genre she's never read, Roxie is desperate for help. So, when her escape from a potential murderer takes her straight into the path of Grant Hoffman - an anxious English professor with a convenient love of crime novels - she decides a little light kidnapping is a small price to pay for survival.
Together, Roxie and Grant team up to navigate a madcap story where the lines between fiction and reality blur and find out if they have what it takes to make it to The End - or maybe even Happily Ever After.
