Picturing Prince
PICTURING PRINCE sees the late icon's former art director, STEVE PARKE, revealing stunning intimate photographs of the singer from his time working at Paisley Park. At least half of the images in the book are exclusively published here for the first time; most other images in the book are rare to the public eye. Alongside these remarkable images are fifty engaging, poignant and often funny written vignettes by Parke, which reveal the very human man behind the reclusive superstar: from shooting hoops to renting out movie theatres at 4am; from midnight requests for camels to meaningful conversations that shed light on Prince as a man and artist. STEVE PARKE started working with Prince in 1988, after a mutual friend showed Prince some of Steve's photorealistic paintings. He designed everything from album covers and merchandise to sets for Prince's tours and videos. Somewhere in all of this, he became Paisley Park's official art director. He began photographing Prince at the request of the star himself, and continued to do so for the next several years. The images in this book are the arresting result of this collaboration.
Supergirl's Family Vacation
Supergirl s got big plans for summer break! Pre-teen Kara Zor-El is an excellent superhero. She always saves the day (and gets her homework in on time). But all anyone ever notices is her famous cousin Clark, who gets all the credit even though Kara s the one who captured Lex Luthor himself! Sigh. If only the people of Metropolis could see her greatness. Kara has an idea: summer s coming, and she wants to visit Argo, a floating city in space where the last survivors of Krypton live. These are her people, and, since Clark grew up on Earth, she can teach him a thing or two for once. It s the perfect plan! And it gets even better when Lois invites along Kara s best friend Natasha. But when their road trip through space is interrupted by an old friend of Clark s, the family gets diverted to a strange and beautiful planet with a dark secret that only Superman can save them from. Kara s plans get pushed aside. Again. What s a cranky pre-teen to do?

The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution
A provocative new history of America’s constitution and an urgent call to action for a nation confronted by challenges its founders could never have imaginedThe American Revolution occurred at a time when Britain’s constitutional order failed to adapt to the extraordinary growth of its colonies. The framers designed an American constitution to succeed where Britain’s had faltered, planning for continuous population and territorial expansion that would eventually cross the continent. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, it was already ill-suited for an increasingly urban, industrialized society, and the transformations of the twentieth century have pushed it to a breaking point. This book charts the history and aims of the American constitution from its origins in an agrarian past to the grave crisis we face today. Mark Peterson traces the American constitutional tradition to the control of land in medieval England, showing how the founders incorporated the aspirations of Magna Carta with the administrative principles of the Domesday Book, a meticulous survey and valuation of landed property commissioned by William the Conqueror. This framework encouraged the growth of democratic self-government in a young nation. It also institutionalized the colonization of territory and the expulsion of Indigenous peoples, establishing a legal blueprint for transforming tribal lands into revenue-yielding real estate for settlers. Peterson’s riveting narrative paints an arresting picture of a dynamic republic whose frame of government has changed enormously to meet the challenges of the modern age but whose written constitution has changed very little. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution reveals how this widening disconnect threatens the very existence of our democracy. It calls for a constitution that sustains the ideals developed over the past thousand years while meeting the challenges of the future.
How to Live
A vivid new translation in which the Stoic philosopher argues that virtue is the only path to contentmentWhy are so many people unhappy when happiness can be attained by anyone who simply lives virtuously? That question prompted Seneca, the great Stoic philosopher of the early Roman empire, to write On the Happy Life, and he continued to seek answers in his Moral Epistles. In How to Live, Seneca biographer and translator James Romm presents vivid new versions of passages from both works, distilling Seneca’s passionate and inspiring argument for a path to perfect contentment, no matter what befalls us. As a Stoic, Seneca believed that only ethical virtue leads to happiness; all other goals, including wealth and success, are neutral in their effects—or, if they torment us with what we haven’t achieved, sources of unhappiness. For role models, Seneca looks to Socrates, who embodied virtue and reason, and to a hypothetical sage who is always in tune with the divine mind that governs the cosmos. Extolling these paragons with nearly messianic fervor, Seneca urges us to imitate their example. Featuring an inviting introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Live captures the persuasive power of Seneca’s argument that the universe wants us to be virtuous—and happy.

Árnyak tava
Az apja a város népszerű nyomozója volt… Az anyja pedig a leghírhedtebb bűnözője… Most viszont Mirror Lake titkai lassan a felszínre bukkannak, és mindent megváltoztatnak.
Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.

Minden történetnek két oldala van. A tiéd és az enyém. A miénk és az övék. A férfié és a nőé. És valaki mindig hazudik.
Anna Andrews végre elérte, amire vágyott: a BBC híradósaként sikeres, független és messze jár a múltjától. Élete mégis kártyavárként omlik össze, amikor tudósítania kell egy brutális gyilkosságról Blackdownban. Itt nőtt fel, és tizenhat évesen, egy máig kísértő rémálom elől menekült el. A sokk akkor válik teljessé, amikor megtudja, hogy az áldozat az egyik gyerekkori barátnője.
Jack Harper főfelügyelő Londont hátrahagyva próbált új életet kezdeni Blackdownban, de most a saját nyomozása középpontjában találja magát. Nem elég, hogy az ügyben a volt feleségével, Annával kell viaskodnia, Jack egy sötét titkot is őriz: az áldozat a szeretője volt, ráadásul ő látta utoljára élve a nőt.
Kisvártatva pedig újabb gyilkosság történik. Ahogy a holttestek száma növekedni kezd a ködös angol faluban, Anna és Jack macska-egér játékba kezd egymással és a gyilkossal is. Mindketten gyanúsítottak, mindketten nyomoznak, és mindketten bármire képesek, hogy a saját igazságukat védjék, kerüljön az bármibe.
Ebben a történetben csak egyvalami biztos: valaki hazudik. Vajon ki rántja le hamarabb a leplet a másikról?

Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.

When leaked documents spark a local Satanic panic and bring the Society under fire, Rhys is willing to gamble everything, even his immortal soul, for more demonic assistance.

As paranoia and rumors spread like wildfire through the occult community, David and Moira will have to once again join forces to pull Rhys back from the brink. But you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, and all the magic in the world won’t prevent Rhys from having to make the ultimate choice: will he become a great man, or a good one?

Divná místa
Povídkový soubor Divná místa přináší šest příběhů lidí, kteří se ocitli v divném čase na divném místě.
Divným časem tu ovšem není půlnoc po Štědrém večeru nebo letní slunovrat, ale kritický čas jejich životů: krize středního věku, náhle surově zvědomělé stárnutí, domnělý profesní vrchol či naopak dlouho nepřiznávaný tvůrčí pád.
Tito lidé se v kritické životní etapě ocitají na místech se zvláštní minulostí, která se právě jim ohlásí s překvapivou intenzitou. Co zjistí historik Marek ze sto let starých novinových zpráv? Kam se ztratila Polednice, která jako stín chodívala od domu k domu, aby v hodině dvanácté brala za kliku? Ztratila se vůbec? A je podivné mlčení průvodců na zámku v Chudenicích jen povinnou hrou pro návštěvníky, kteří v ceně vstupenky automaticky očekávají obligátní porci příjemně dráždivého vzrušení?
Rules for the Summer
They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one . . .
Renley Gossage has nothing but a struggling candy shop and a dream. She is determined to make it as Cape Meril's confectionary queen with no help, no shortcuts - and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.
Theo Williams never thought he'd be flying across an ocean to propose to a stranger, but here he is, knocking on Renley's door with a shiny diamond. She's the one person who might be able to stop his life from falling apart, so he's here with a marriage proposal - and more importantly for Renley, a business proposal . . .
The Deal: Theo needs a wife so his stiff-upper-lipped father won't cut him off. Renley needs a financial backer, even if she's too stubborn to admit it.
The Rules: One fake engagement. One summer. Zero romance.
But between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley's aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real.
Except Renley can't let go of the idea that standing on her own two feet means not accepting help. And Theo's past is about to catch up with him. By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they'll have to decide if this is just a summer fling - or a happily ever after worth breaking the rules for . . .
Nem néma a többi
A kilencvenes években járunk, a rendszerváltás utáni Magyarországon. Ahogy a társadalom új alapokra helyezi a működését, úgy próbálja a kamasz Dalma is összerakni önmagát, a gyerek létből átjutni a felnőttéválás útvesztőin. És ez nem megy könnyen. A családjáról lehámló biztonság, a veszekedések, és az ikertestvérével vívott örök verseny elhiteti vele, hogy neki legfeljebb mellékszerep jut az életben.
Aztán egy szavalat félresikerült pillanatában, a recsegő mikrofon mögött egyszer csak megtörténik valami: megérzi a színpad súlyát és felszabadító erejét. Innen vezet az út egy fiatalokból álló színházba, ahol először találkozik egy közösséggel, amely egyszerre befogadó és könyörtelen. A társulat középpontja Dávid – a kiszámíthatatlan, nyers tehetségű, önmagát is felőrlő Mercutio, aki előtt senki sem tud rejtve maradni. Dalmát épp ez a figyelem emeli ki először a csendből, a fiú kemény mondatai, váratlan gyengédségei és vakmerő dühkitörései olyan tükröt tartanak elé, amelyben kénytelen meglátni saját lehetőségeit is. Ahogy közeledik a bemutató, Dávid egyre veszélyesebb sodrásba kerül, és a tehetsége mögött feltáruló önpusztító erő lassan tragikus pályát rajzol. Dalmának el kell döntenie, hagyja-e magát magával rántani, vagy kilép onnan, ahol elsodorhatnák. Felnőni számára most azt jelenti: felismerni, hogy a saját hangját csak akkor találhatja meg, ha mer elmozdulni attól, ami lehúzza.
