Dead Bees Still Sting
For readers of Raising Hare and How to Catch a Mole comes a poetic exploration of life at the precarious edge of nature and human settlement. “I loved every gorgeously-written and surprising page.”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus“Come for the bees, stay for these beautifully written observations.”—Booklist, STARRED reviewOn a small acreage teeming with wild and domestic animals, buzzing with a half-million honeybees, and dotted with fruit trees—including one affectionately named Bill—lives beekeeper-poet Susan Cormier. Circling the farm, an aggressive tangle of forest and blackberry vines thrives, but beyond, the shadow of urban development creeps ever closer. Over five seasons Cormier takes readers through the rhythms of semi-agricultural life, reflecting on the dichotomy between beauty and grief, loss and renewal, and humor and the often heart-wrenching realities of animal existence in an agrarian landscape. Susan’s acreage is filled with an ever-changing cast of animals, from the hand-raised quail Birb, who likes to play peekaboo, to companionable cats and dogs, Frodo the rescued rabbit, deer, elusive mink, and owls. Dead Bees Still Sting also offers a rich education in beekeeping, guiding readers through the complexities of hive life, the art of capturing swarms, and the serious challenges facing bees today. Lyrical and poignant, Dead Bees Still Sting is a moving meditation on the cycles of nature, vulnerability, persistence, and survival. Above all, it is a celebration of what it means to belong to a place, to witness its changes, and to find beauty and meaning in the ongoing conversation between humans and nature.

Basic Equality
An innovative argument that vindicates our normative commitment to basic equality, synthesising philosophy, history, and psychologyWhat makes human beings one another’s equals? That we are "basic equals" has become a bedrock assumption in Western moral and political philosophy. And yet establishing why we ought to believe this claim has proved fiendishly difficult, floundering in the face of the many inequalities that characterise the human condition. In this provocative work, Paul Sagar offers a novel approach to explaining and justifying basic equality. Rather than attempting to find an independent foundation for basic equality, he argues, we should instead come to see our commitment to this idea as the result of the practice of treating others as equals. Moreover, he continues, it is not enough to grapple with the problem through philosophy alone—by just thinking very hard, in our armchairs; we must draw insights from history and psychology as well. Sagar writes that, as things stand, there appear to be no good arguments for believing in the truth of basic equality. Indeed, for much of Western intellectual history and social practice, basic inequality has been the default position. How is it then, Sagar asks, that in Western societies, in a period of less than a century, basic equality emerged as the dominant view? Sagar approaches this not as a mere philosophical puzzle, but as a dramatic historical development. In so doing, he shows us what is at stake when human beings treat one another as equals just because they are human beings.

Venice and the Mongols
A global history of commercial and cultural exchange between two great powers of the medieval ageIn the mid-thirteenth century, Europe was shaken by the Mongol invasions. Realizing the immense potential for accessing remote markets in the East, Venetian merchants, diplomats, and seafarers established far-flung commercial networks with the Mongol Empire. Venice and the Mongols tells the story of this dynamic new era in world history, one that saw one of the most advanced maritime powers of the age bridge East and West in a new global marketplace created by the Mongol conquests. In a panoramic narrative spanning nearly two centuries, Nicola Di Cosmo and Lorenzo Pubblici describe how Mongolian support of European merchants allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas across their vast empire, and how cooperation with the khans enabled the Venetian city-state to trade safely, grow its influence, and expand its territory eastward while opening Europe to new markets. Di Cosmo and Pubblici shed light on trade practices, legal structures, and cultural relations, and share new perspectives on Marco Polo’s travels in Mongol-controlled territories. They examine Venetian strategies in the face of Mongol and Genoese rivalry and show how the city-state adapted to the challenges posed by the decline of Mongol authority and the ascendance of the Ottomans in the latter half of the fourteenth century. Blending vivid storytelling with rich archival research, Venice and the Mongols challenges conventional perspectives on the Mongols as mere agents of destruction and shows how Venice ushered in a new era of commerce and diplomacy in an interconnected medieval world.

Memory Rehearsal
One of Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Books & Library Journal's Big Books of the Year"A poet's immersion in Greek classicism forges a stronger bond with her bloodline. . . . A moving family memoir and a triumph of cultural archaeology."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewA genre-busting encounter between a poet and her ancestral past documenting a startling intersection of queer history, ancient theater, utopian visions, and modern poetry. In 1901, Eva Palmer abandoned her life as a privileged New York socialite, moving to Paris with her lover, the writer, and salonist, Natalie Barney. The two Americans became the center of a wild tangle of lesbian love affairs and backyard performances based in an intentional reimagining of Sappho's work and life. This hotbed of early European modernism saw in the ancient past the possibility for sexual and artistic emancipation, especially for lesbian women. A chance encounter led Eva to Greece, where she married Angelos Sikelianos, a visionary poet who would become a Greek national hero. Together, they decided to stage a revival of the ancient Delphic festivals, convinced that it would open a path to world peace. By the end of two festivals, their meticulous reproductions had managed to change the course of modern Greek cultural history, even as their marriage dissolved. Eva returned to the U.S. and spent the next decades of her life in debt, but she never stopped pursuing her vision, convinced of the revolution of consciousness these art festivals could bring about. Celebrated American poet Eleni Sikelianos grew up knowing little of her illustrious ancestors, and it was not until the age of 20, on her first trip to Greece, that she encountered the breadth of their legacy. In Memory Rehearsal, Sikelianos unearths the story of her pioneering ancestor trying to make a place for herself, in a text that shifts between prose, poetry, imaginary performance texts, fiction, and nonfiction, with archival and family photographs. This is the third book in a trilogy of hybrid memoirs in which Sikelianos reckons with a family shaped by mental illness, homelessness, and addiction. Grappling with knots of personal and broader histories, she performs a powerful act of recovery, re-situating herself by claiming her lineage.

Lucifer omnibus, svazek první (základní verze)
Vzdal se pekelného trůnu. Nyní je připraven přepsat realitu! Padlý anděl, jenž vystoupil ze stránek komiksu Sandman Neila Gaimana, se vydává na svou vlastní epickou cestu v cenami ověnčené sérii scenáristy Mikea Careyho. Od té doby, co se vzdal trůnu a opustil peklo, tráví Lucifer Morningstar své dny dohledem nad značně zredukovaným personálem v Luxu, nejelitnějším piano baru v Los Angeles.

Fák
Mit tanítanak nekünk a fák?
Kóda Aja már gyerekkorában felismerte, hogy egy fa több puszta szépségnél. Amikor édesapjától facsemetét kapott ajándékba, megtanulta: éppannyira rá vagyunk utalva a fákra, mint ők miránk. Jelzik az idő múlását, megtisztítják a levegőt, megújítják a földet – a jövőjükért viszont nekünk kell felelősséget vállalnunk. Kóda Japánt járva földcsuszamlásokat lát, favágókkal és hamuba hulló erdőkkel, friss csemetékkel és ősi, megzabolázhatatlan gyökerekkel találkozik. Útja során felismeri, hogy minden fa – legyen bár cseresznye-, hinoki, ezo luc, juhar vagy ciprus – saját, külön történetet hordoz. Ebben az időtlen, modern klasszikusban Kóda emlékeztet bennünket arra, hogy a fák tükröt tartanak nekünk: megmutatják, kik vagyunk, és mit hagyunk magunk után.
„Vízben úszott az egész erdő – kivéve ezt, az öreg fatest közepét, amit szárazon, melegen tartottak a fiatal fa gyökerei. Nem is olyan egyszerű, ébredtem rá, hogy az öreg fa halott, a fiatal pedig él. Nem érdemes fennakadnunk az élet és a halál kapcsolatán vagy körforgásuk kegyetlenségén. Mindkettő csupán egy pillanat az időben – és micsoda szerencse, hogy ezt a pillanatot, ezt a melegséget nem mulasztottam el!”
A magyar tenger kalózai
Alvilág és felvilág a Balaton partján
Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Addig kóstolgatták egymást a kishalak, amíg a nagyhal befalt mindent...
A Balaton nekünk a lángos, a romantikus naplemente, a zajos családi nyaralás.
De mi történik, miután lemegy a nap?
2025 őszén a rendőrség elfogta egy huszonnyolc évvel korábbi robbantásos merénylet gyanúsítottjait. Az 1997 nyarán meggyilkolt férfi a balatoni éjszakai élet ismert figurája volt. Terepjárója éppen Balatonalmádi felé tartott, amikor felrobbant a férfi alatt. A detonáció nemcsak egy embert ölt meg - egy korszak kapuját is berúgta.
Innen indul Dezső András új kötete.
A Maffiózók mackónadrágban, a Magyar kóla, a Fedősztori és a Nagyfőnök című bestsellerek szerzője most a Balaton sötét oldalát tárja fel. Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Hiszen a Balaton nem csak a pihenni vágyók és az ügyeskedők paradicsoma volt. A vadkelet éveiben erős és befolyásos figurák keresztezték egymás útját, miközben ugyanaz a cél vezette őket: meghódítani a tavat. És mire a szivarfüst eloszlott, a diszkófények kihunytak, a régi maffiózók mackónadrágot húztak, a helyükre egy új elit lépett, akik visszautasíthatatlan ajánlatokkal, házilag írt törvényekkel terjeszkednek, a tét pedig már milliárdokban mérhető.
Ez a könyv a magyar tengerért vívott hol zajos, hol csendes harc igaz története.
The Agency for Scandal - A botrányügynökség (A botrányügynökség 1.)
Báltermek, pletykák, titkos küldetések.
Egy csak nőket alkalmazó nyomozóügynökség a gyengék védelmére kel a 19. század végén; beszivárognak a felső tízezer Bridgertont idéző, botrányokkal terhelt világába, ahol éles eszüket és bátorságukat bevetve lelepleznek egy gonosztevőt.
A tizennyolc éves Isobel Stanhope jó pár titkot őriz.
Egyrészt fülig szerelmes egy hercegbe, aki a létezéséről sem tud; másrészt teljesen elszegényedett a családja, és ezt senki sem sejti az úri körökben; harmadrészt a Madárház, egy női vezetés alatt álló ügynökség alkalmazottja, akik nagy hatalmú férfiak botrányait és gaztetteit leplezik le.
Izzy legújabb ügyében lelki kínzástól és zsarolástól sem visszariadó bűnözőkkel néznek szembe, értékes ékszerek és a szívét elraboló herceg sorsa a tét. Képes lesz barátaival a titkokból és hazugságokból szőtt háló mélyére jutni, felfedezni az igazságot, és megvédeni az ártatlan áldozatokat?
És mi történik, ha egy ilyen veszedelmes küldetés során az eddig rejtegetett vonzalma látszólag viszonzásra talál?
Lost in Peach Blossom Paradise
Alice in Wonderland meets Spirited Away: Xiong Liang's propulsive, Chinese mythology-inspired adventure story for kids ages 9-12. Embark on a forbidden journey through Peach Blossom Paradise—a world of mushroom elves and dragon slayers, with brilliantly crafted ink wash illustrations by a renowned Chinese artist. City-girl Little Yu just spent a glorious summer in the countryside with her grandparents. On the last day of her vacation, wishing she could stay forever, Little Yu notices peach blossom petals marching along the surface of the river. They sink and bob to the surface again, a pink rivulet flowing into the distance. Little Yu follows the blossoms to an enormous, mossy stone tablet carved with the histories of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the words: “Prohibited to cross!” Laughing in the face of this restriction, she hikes up a leg, crosses the stone fence, and sinks her feet into the muck and lichen of an ancient forest. The moment Little Yu enters the forest, the world shifts. The peach blossom petals flow backwards, stop, and then begin to spin. Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice going down the rabbit hole or Hayao Miyazaki’s Chihiro entering the spirit world, Little Yu enters a forbidden world and must learn to trust her instincts at every turn. She meets and befriends the realm’s earthly guardians – puckish spirits of mountains, clouds, water, and wind. The first in the seven-book series, Little Yu and the Treelings, Lost in Peach Blossom Paradise is a new fantasy classic. The celebrated artist and writer Xiong Liang masterfully blends ancient Chinese mythology, traditions, and tales, in a story that shares many features with the best graphic novels. Xiong Liang's ink-wash drawings are vivid and meticulous, filling the page with cave dwellings, intricate creature-made tools, towering cypress forests, and a large, graceful hound dog.

This Is Me
'Hayden Panettiere holds nothing back: From child stardom to crushing loss, this is her truth' US Weekly'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.'Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir. Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera. In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out. In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.
