Hello, Beautiful
An inspirational love letter from caregiver to a child, Hello, Beautiful is an intimate and uplifting depiction of love and courage. With its warmth and promise for a bold and confident future, it lyrically reminds children that they should take up space, follow their own unique paths, and find humanity in everyone around them and, most importantly, in themselves - because that is beautiful.
In Botanical Time
How do some plants live for thousands of years? Which adaptations and evolutionary strategies allow them to thrive in some of the harshest places on the planet for so long—and so well? Renowned plantsman, author, and longtime botanical garden designer Christopher Woods takes readers on a popular science exploration of twenty-three of the world’s most amazing species, seeking answers to these questions by explaining their incredible survival mechanisms. Woods emphasizes how human cultures have interacted with plants over time and what we may, critically, be able to learn from them about sustainability in extreme climates. Some species will be familiar to readers, while some are outright surprising—such as the aptly named Welwitschia mirabilis, which lives happily in the Namib Desert for up to two thousand years, although many of those years receive zero precipitation. With over two hundred color images and lively, accessible text, In Botanical Time highlights fascinating facts about each charismatic plant, encouraging conservation for these species and leading us toward larger lessons about the rapidity with which humans have caused—and are causing—species to adapt. "Woods' compassion for these trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wonders shines on every page."—AHS American Gardener Magazine

The Witch
In a small, sleepy town, a mediocre witch, in a mediocre marriage, tries to pass on her gifts to her twin daughters, who, it becomes immediately apparent, have skills far beyond her own. 'NDiaye at her most dazzling' Katie Kitamura'This is NDiaye at her disquieting best' New York MagazineLucie comes from a long line of witches, powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mum was formidable in her powers, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie's own gift is weak: she can see into the future, sometimes - but more often, she can only see the present of some other location. Not very useful. And the worst part? All she can ever see are insignificant details - a scrap of outfit, the colour of the sky. Lucie's own children are initiated into their family's peculiar womanhood when they reach twelve years of age, and in a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying the curious tears of blood that denote their magical powers. Having learned, they take off quickly and fly the nest. Literally. Witty, dreamlike, vaguely unsettling, and utterly enchanting (pun intended), The Witch brings the mysteries of womanhood and motherhood into sharp relief and leaves us teetering on the edge, unbalanced by questions as seemingly unbreakable relationships break down left and right. Who is to blame for family failures? And how can you - can you? - build a nest that no one wants to fly?

Seven years later in New York City, AJ is shocked to find herself cast in?the?same intergalactic TV production as Noah, by?then a well-known Hollywood heartthrob. As?their on-screen characters grow closer every day,?the?lines between reality and acting begin to blur.
Unable to stay away from each other, AJ and Noah are forced to confront?the?truth of what happened years ago -?and?the?devastating secret that will send?their lives careening apart, even as fate continues to draw?them together.

Viditeľne pod kožou
Rozmýšľali ste niekedy nad tým, ako pokračujú ženské romány po tom, keď sa Ona a On konečne dajú dokopy?
Žijú spolu šťastne až … do chvíle, keď to aspoň jednému z nich prestane dávať zmysel.
Keby bola láska na celý život výhra, stačilo by ju rozumne využiť. Takto to bude skôr víťazstvo, v ktorom cieľová rovinka zároveň znamená koniec.
Kamila je žena v najlepšom veku. Má všetko, čo by si jeden nešťastník mohol priať, no jej túžby si nedajú pokoja. Hlásia sa o slovo, a jej pragmatického manžela tak pravidelne privádzajú do zúfalstva. Kamila však nepozná správne riešenia a, čo je horšie, nevie sa ani rozhodovať. Niečo ju neustále dráždi a núti ju hľadať odpovede tam, kde sa už nedajú prepísať.
Alebo dajú?
Príbeh príliš obyčajný na to, aby sme ho nepoznali, a pritom celkom jedinečný na to, aby sme ho mohli prežiť dvakrát.
Druhá kniha z pera blogerky, ktorú realita neprestáva fascinovať. Ako bonus kvalitná dávka humoru a irónie, s ktorými to má tú správnu životnú príchuť.
Čas vrahů
Dvacáté století bylo epochou technického pokroku, kulturního rozkvětu a nebývalých vědeckých objevů, které posunuly lidstvo z věku páry do éry dobývání vesmíru, jaderné energie a globální konektivity. Člověk se během něj z velké části osvobodil od nemocí a hladu – a přesto to bylo i století, v němž se tím nejdestruktivnějším způsobem projevily temné stránky lidské povahy. Nikdy předtím nezískala ideologie takovou moc nad jednotlivcem, nikdy předtím nebyly miliony lidí s tak strojovou systematičností vyvražďovány v koncentračních táborech, gulazích a na bojištích po celém světě.
Tento paradox – že století osvícení a humanity přineslo zároveň genocidu a masové vyhlazování – zůstává jedním z nejbolestnějších rysů moderní historie. Ale dějiny nejsou jen souborem dat a faktů. Jsou to i příběhy lidí, kteří žili, rozhodovali se a nesli důsledky svých činů. Některé kontext doby dovedl k hrdinství, jiným umožnil naplno projevit jejich zvrácenost.
Tato kniha je pokusem o anatomii nejen zla, ale i naděje. Snaží se porozumět těm, kteří se stali nástroji totalitních zločinů, i těm, kteří se jim vzepřeli. Nejde o knihu o vůdcích, ideologiích či politických systémech, ale o obyčejných lidech – třeba o těch, kteří zavírali dveře plynových komor, podepisovali rozsudky smrti, stříleli vězně do týla – a večer se vraceli ke svým rodinám. A také o těch, kteří riskovali vše, aby zachránili druhé, o těch, kteří odmítli jen přihlížet a mlčet a dokázali neztratit svou lidskost v nelidské době.
Pochopit psychologii a motivace těchto lidí – jedněch i druhých – znamená pochopit nejen mechanismy zla, ale i prameny tiché odvahy, empatie a soucitu, které ani zlo nedokázalo uhasit. Možná právě v této tenké hranici mezi temnotou a světlem se skrývá pravé poznání o člověku – i o nás samotných.
Zajatci úzkosti
Cítíte se neustále napjatí, přetížení a nedaří se vám „vypnout“? Možná jste si – zcela nevědomky – vypěstovali návyk na úzkost. Právě tento vzorec vás může připravovat o klid, spánek i radost ze života.
Zkušený psychoterapeut v této knize ukazuje, že boj s úzkostí nemusí být nikdy nekončící. Vysvětluje, jak úzkost funguje jako návykový cyklus, a krok za krokem provází cestou, jak jej účinně přerušit. Místo rychlých slibů či složitých odborných termínů nabízí srozumitelný a lidský pohled na to, co se ve vás odehrává, a praktické postupy, díky nimž můžete znovu převzít kontrolu nad svými myšlenkami i emocemi.
Tato kniha není jen o zvládání úzkosti. Je o osvobození se z jejího sevření a o tom, jak se znovu nadechnout a začít žít naplno.
Nepřítel mého nepřítele
Utekla jsem ve svatebních šatech s kulkou v paži, abych se dobrovolně vrhla do chřtánu Collinsových. Rodiny, která tu moji k smrti nenáviděla. A přesto byli jediní, kdo mě mohl zachránit. Emmett Collins byl nepřítel, ale já mu i tak dala všechno. Jinak to nešlo. Museli jsme si vzájemně důvěřovat. Najít kompromis. A ten byl v našem případě někde mezi vraždou a postelí. Sama jsem mu nakonec dala klíče… od mého těla, mé duše i srdce.

What to Make of a Life
THE QUESTION
What to make of a life?
It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?
Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.
THE STUDY
His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.
• Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.
• Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.
• Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.
• Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.
What emerges from Collins's extensive studies - of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others - is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.
THE FINDINGS
By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life's questions. What does it take to:
• Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life - one that you are naturally 'encoded' for - and then find a second one, if the first one ends?
• Overcome a major cliff - a fracture point that forces choices about what's next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?
• Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?
• Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step
• Minimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?
• Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?
• Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?
THE TRANSFORMATION
For the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'

Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. Now she wants revenge. To save her sister she needs to get back home and destroy the system that created her. Rosabelle's greatest strength is her ability to deaden her mind and body; it's the only way to survive the surveillance state of Ark Island. But lately her heart has been beating harder; her thoughts are spiraling; her defenses are coming undone.
And there's only one person to blame.
James Anderson had a plan. Now he has nothing but problems. Rosabelle might be the ally they need in a fight against The Reestablishment, but no one wants to trust an enemy assassin. It doesn't help that Rosabelle's not much of a talker, doesn't work well in groups, and kills people on instinct. Taking her side has cost James nearly everything-but keeping her alive might help save his world.
If only he could convince his older brother.
Aaron Warner Anderson has a headache. Something dark is coming, and Rosabelle's arrival is just a prelude. In her, he sees shades of himself he can't trust, and worse: he can no longer get a read on the girl. She's a dead battery, emanating no emotional feedback. At least not until James walks into a room…
Volcanic tension, breathless reveals, breakneck action-and a dystopian world that never stops raising the stakes:
Welcome back to The New Republic.

Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy
A practical and compassionate guide to navigating sexual intimacy during and after cancer. Cancer changes lives—but it doesn't erase the need for intimacy, connection, or sexual expression. In this essential guide, certified sexuality counselor Anne Katz, PhD, RN, offers a compassionate, candid, and evidence-based guide for individuals and couples navigating the often-overlooked sexual challenges brought on by cancer and its treatment. Dr. Katz addresses the full scope of situations survivors may face, including an altered body image, loss of desire, physical pain, emotional distance, relationship strain, and more. Although these changes are common, they are rarely discussed openly—and survivors are often left to figure things out alone, or not at all. Through the stories of couples she's worked with, Dr. Katz shows that while the path back to sexual intimacy may be complex, it is deeply worthwhile. With equal attention to anatomy and emotion, this book empowers readers to understand how cancer treatments impact sexual function, identity, and mental health—and how to reclaim pleasure and closeness at any stage of survivorship. Clear explanations, practical tools—including mindfulness and sensate focus exercises—and thoughtful commentary make this guide both personal and informative. Cancer, Sex, and Intimacy fills a critical gap in survivorship care and reminds readers that sexuality is not a luxury, but a fundamental part of quality of life.

Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers
A lone PSG sticker on a North-London Street sign; the towering Maradona mural that watches over Naples. Europe’s fan-made canvases tell football’s biggest stories. Timed perfectly for World-Cup fever, Tifo: The Art of Football Fan Stickers—Revised & Expanded presents 500 plus images from over 100 clubs, printed on premium matte-art stock and bound in a linen-wrapped hardback with foil stamping. Stickerbomb founders Suridh Hassan and Ryo Sanada spent more than two years tracking down these graphics and the tales behind them: the unlikely bond between Boavista and Aberdeen, St Pauli’s anti-fascist iconography, Sevilla’s surprising love affair with Karl Marx, and how Parma became entangled in Europe’s biggest bankruptcy scandal. Insightful essays by award-winning journalist James Montague and Design Museum curator Eleanor Watson deepen the cultural and historical context. Equal parts visual archive and behind-the-scenes anecdote Tifo is the ultimate gift for ground-hoppers, quiz-night champions and anyone who bleeds club colours.
