No Name Bastard
Our most vivid memories can be our greatest teachers. There are moments that fade from our thoughts just as quickly as they occurred, and there are others that stay with us forever. These lasting memories are woven into the fabric of our being, etched into our DNA, and rooted so firmly in our minds that we can still sense every detail. Those experiences are where our characters and defining qualities are built and earned. However, if those experiences are challenging, it’s easy to get stuck in the struggle and become a victim to your past. Our histories are important, but the futures we create from them are immensely more crucial. So, how do we learn enough from our pasts to keep moving forward? How do we reflect on our lives in way that’s constructive, rather than restrainin? n her debut book, No Name Bastard, Tori DaCosta helps you to do just that. She vividly recounts a collection of her most unforgettable moments and the lessons she learned from them. DaCosta calls you to learn not just from her life, but from your own as well. The result is a vulnerable and inspiring text that will teach how to embrace life’s challenges and use them to become the best version of yourself.
One Last Thing

Little does she know that her estranged mother Dawn also has a holiday planned . . . to the south of France. At the request of her late ex-husband. Also to scatter his ashes. The two women haven't spoken for years, ever since Dawn seemingly abandoned their family and cut all ties with her daughter. But now, forced together by Henry, they're stuck. It's set to be the strangest family holiday of all time - can the two women repair what has been broken between them for so long? And will they have one last chance for honesty, love and - above all - happiness?

What Artists Do
This book explains why Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) is an influential art education movement, addresses misconceptions about TAB, and shares real-life examples from practicing teachers. With a diverse range of examples from teachers and school districts who use the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) approach, What Artists Do provides a strong argument for the place of TAB in today’s K–12 visual arts education landscape. After beginning in the 1970s as a grassroots movement, TAB’s growth has been fueled by passionate teachers sharing ideas through social media, conferences, workshops, and professional development events. TAB’s continued expansion is driven by its student-centered approach to artmaking, the creativity of its practitioners, and a growing demand for educational models that prioritize innovation and self-direction. With chapters tailored for a wide audience—including experienced and new art teachers, administrators, and teacher educators—this book serves as a practical resource for understanding and implementing TAB in art rooms everywhere. Book Features:Includes over 40 full-color images of student artwork, classroom resources, and art teachers practicing in their studiosOffers ideas and guidance for using a choice-based approach to visual arts education that values student agency, classroom community, and artistic process and thinking. Cites evidence-based research that supports TAB as a best practice in contemporary art education and explains the psychological underpinnings of choice and student engagement. Addresses the growth of this approach over the past 50 years, as well as TAB's place in the historical evolution of art education.
Vnitřní čas člověka
Autor provede čtenáře vědeckými poznatky o biologických hodinách člověka. S využitím vlastních studií i poznatků mezinárodní komunity vědců zabývajících se spánkem a biologů studujících cirkadiánní rytmy, ilustruje vliv denní doby na naše zdraví: jak nám večerní procházky zajistí lepší spánek, jak jídlo po západu slunce ovlivňuje naši hmotnost i jaké účinky má na náš život doba užívání léků.
V moderní době jsme zanedbali zásadní součást naší biologie. Stále častěji přesouváme rutinní činnosti do nočních hodin a věnujeme se práci, cvičení a společenskému životu dlouho po setmění. Zapomněli jsme, že se naše těla se řídí 24 hodinovými biologickými hodinami, které nás vedou k nejlepšímu času na spaní, jídlo a pití. Nové vědecké poznatky dokázaly, že život mimo synchronizaci s těmito biologickými hodinami nejen narušuje spánek, ale činí nás i zranitelnějšími vůči infekcím, obezitě, cukrovce 2. typu, srdečním chorobám, rakovině a duševním onemocněním.
Odds and Ends
In this charming translated work from Finland, an imaginative child makes a scrapbook of "lasts" instead of "firsts," inviting readers to reflect on what they hold onto and save. Some people collect pens, shells, or stamps. Others collect friends, trips, or world records. This picture book shares one girl’s unusual collection: a collection of lasts. With a feel for the poignant, the bittersweet, and the odd, an observant, emotionally astute child shares the whimsical, eccentric, and touching lasts she has collected, from the last day cold enough for a wool cap, to the last anxious breath before a high dive, to the last person in her class to lose a tooth, to the last piece of chocolate, to the last words of a whole life. Beautifully illustrated in pencil and watercolor, this is an exploration of lasts that might set something new in motion—or might bring finality. There are feelings of fear, sadness, contentment, longing, and happiness here, making for a wistful picture book in which a young girl’s collection of last moments is depicted with a warm touch. Odds and Ends is a collection of memories which invites open discussion of each reader’s personal lasts.

The Sanctuaries and Cults of Demeter in Asia Minor and the Islands off Its Western Coast
At least twenty-two sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in Asia Minor and the islands off the western coast are attested by archaeological evidence. More than 272 epigraphic sources, nearly all of which are translated and discussed in this study, further document the cults of both goddesses in these regions. This monograph is the first study to draw on such a substantial body of material in order to demonstrate the cultic connections between cities in the Greek East and other parts of the Greek world. The archaeological and written sources provide insight into both regional and Pan-Hellenic features of the sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore, including their architectural layouts, the iconography of votive offerings, festivals, rituals, and the development of these practices over time. In assessing these regional and Pan-Hellenic characteristics, the analysis draws on the full range of archaeological and written evidence from across the Greek world. The available evidence indicates that the cults and sanctuaries of Demeter and Kore in the Greek East largely retained Greek characteristics; however, in certain regions, such as Caria, their cults were partially shaped by indigenous religious traditions. Despite Greek and later Roman hegemony, the cult of Demeter in other parts of Asia Minor, beyond western Asia Minor, was unable to supplant the cult of Cybele and other local chthonic fertility deities.
The Paranoid Style in American Politics
The classic and very funny account of the dark side of American politics
'Calm, clear, dispassionate and devastating - and a joy to read' Harper's
'Brilliant and influential … his evisceration of populism has found a new generation of readers' Guardian
'American political life … has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds'
How can a country be captured by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen? The historian Richard Hofstadter asked these questions in the 1960s, amid fears of rising extremism in America. Yet his dazzling dissection of the paranoid worldview - a brew of overheated exaggeration, suspicion and perceived victimhood that can derail entire nations - is a lesson for the ages in the seductive politics of the irrational.
In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter's incisive refusal to see these as something new. In his discussion of famous and obscure untruths, some of which have profoundly impacted American domestic and foreign policy, he provides the antidote for the present day.
'The Paranoid Style in American Politics' was first published as an essay in Harper's Magazine in late 1964 and has been argued over ever since.

Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség.
Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.
A döntéseid formálnak azzá.
Pieces of the Night (Deluxe Edition)
*The limited deluxe edition will include designed edges*
I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.
But the night I found Chase Rhodes-bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was-everything changed.
I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.
What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.
Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.
But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.
Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.
And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a new angsty, standalone contemporary romance.
Through the Lens of Anthroposophy
What relevance do anthroposophy and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner have for the world today? Spiritual thinker Wolfgang Müller was initially sceptical that anthroposophy had any contemporary value. It wasn't until many years after his first encounter with the challenging and sometimes controversial worldview that a closer study of Steiner's writings prompted him to make a radical reappraisal. In this thought-provoking book, Müller explains how anthroposophy, far from being out of touch with the modern world, has important contributions to make towards our understanding of contemporary life. He shows, for example, how anthroposophy builds on the insights of natural science to explore the inner life of human beings, and how its progressive view of human spiritual development can help us better understand the world's religions. He looks at anthroposophy's approach to medicine, which takes into account both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings, and goes on to consider Steiner's social and political ideas, which seek to bring our public spheres of culture, politics and economics into greater balance. Finally, Müller explores accusations of racism that have been made against Steiner in recent years and shows how they are fundamentally at odds with Steiner's view of a truly universal humanity. This book offers a balanced and well-researched contemporary perspective on anthroposophy from a former sceptic and will be of value to anyone looking for alternative ways of understanding our world.

Trutyi
„Nem tudom, mikor jöttem rá, hogy Nim nem fog visszajönni. Csak lassan esett le számomra. Nem tudtam pontosan, mennyi ideig tart az összevarrás: tizenöt perc, fél óra? Egy óra elteltével vettem rá magam, hogy szóljak valakinek. A nővérek azt hitték, Nim eltévedt a kórházban, vagy talán rossz kórterembe küldték vissza. Észrevettem, hogy a kis bőrönd, amit bepakoltam neki, váltóruhával, fogkefével, a telefonjával, eltűnt. Erre felhívtam a nővérek figyelmét is. Lassan néma pánik lett úrrá mindenkin. A baba aludt. Végül megnézték a biztonsági kamerák felvételeit, és jól látszott, ahogy Nim egész egyszerűen kisétál a kórház parkolójából. Melegítőalsót és egy ócska, szürke kapucnis pulcsit viselt, még mindig kissé nehézkesen, kacsázva lépkedett, a jobb szemöldökén elkenődött vérfolt látszott.”
Felemelő történet két nőről, akik egy váratlan terhesség miatt zavarba ejtően közel kerülnek egymáshoz.
Jules már öt éve elvált Leontól, de még mindig a közös, lepattant kocsmájukban dolgozik: a Trutyiban. A brightoni fiatalok kedvelt szórakozóhelyén éjszakánként feleseket tölt, és végignézi, ahogy a volt férje, Leon, diáklányokat szed fel.
Egy nap Leon felveszi a tizenkilenc éves Nimet. Az új kolléganő érkezése felrázza Julest az évek óta tartó közönyből. Amikor pedig a lány terhes lesz, és Jules segítségét kéri, a kapcsolatuk gyökeresen megváltozik.
Aztán Jules egyszer csak hirtelen egyedül marad az apró lakásában egy egynapos kisbabával a kezében, akin még érzi Nim illatát. Nem tudja, hova tűnt a gyerek anyja, visszatér-e egyáltalán. Azt pedig végképp nem sejti, hogy mit tartogat számukra a jövő.
A Trutyi sodró erejű regény egy legkevésbé sem hagyományos családmodellről. Szerelem és szenvedély, biztonság és rombolás, káosz és rend kavarog minden egyes oldalán szétválaszthatatlanul.
Jegyzetek egy kivégzéshez
Ansel Packer tizenkét óra múlva meghal. Tisztában van azzal, hogy mit tett, és most a kivégzésére vár, ugyanarra a sorsra, amit ő is rákényszerített azokra a lányokra évekkel ezelőtt. De Ansel nem akar meghalni, azt akarja, hogy ünnepeljék, hogy megértsék.
Egy anya, egy lánytestvér, egy gyilkossági nyomozó – nők, akiknek a kaleidoszkópján keresztül megismerjük Ansel élettörténetét.
Találkozunk az anyjával, Lavenderrel; egy tizenhét éves lánnyal, aki kétségbeesett lépésre kényszerül; Hazellel, Ansel feleségének ikertestvérével, aki születésük óta elválaszthatatlan nővérétől, de most kénytelen tétlenül figyelni, ahogy a testvére kapcsolata mindegyiküket felemészti. És végül Saffyval, a nyomozóval, aki szorosan a nyomában van, és aki annak szenteli a hivatását, hogy rossz embereket bíróság elé állítson, miközben képtelen tisztán látni a saját életét.
Danya Kukafka regénye a feszültséget megdöbbentő empátiával ötvözve hátborzongató képet fest a női sorsról, és ezzel egyidejűleg feltárja az amerikai sorozatgyilkos ismerős narratíváját, komoly kérdéseket megfogalmazva az igazságszolgáltatással és a bűnügyi történetek iránti megszállottságunkkal kapcsolatban. Mindeközben az olvasó elgondolkodhat azon, hogy érdemes-e értelmet keresni erőszakos emberek pszichéjében…
