The Myth of the Eternal Return
A landmark work in the history of religions from a pioneer in the fieldFirst published in English in 1954, this founding work in the historical study of religions secured the North American reputation of the Romanian émigré-scholar Mircea Eliade. Referring to an astonishing number of cultures and drawing on scholarship in no fewer than half a dozen European languages, The Myth of the Eternal Return illuminates the religious beliefs and rituals of a wide variety of ancient cultures and argues that understanding them still has the power to enrich our conception of what it means to be human.
A Fishable Feast
Fly fishing is ultimately less about catching fish and more about the experience uniquely beautiful places and the people you meet along the way. A hugely important part of destination fishing is the post-angling gathering often centered around local dishes. The food is what distinguishes these special places, and food is the medium through which fond memories are brought back to life. Each of the twenty destinations in this book features stunning original photos and a unique story about a fishing adventure. And each chapter is capped off with a few recipes ranging from appetizers to main courses, drinks, and desserts that exude the flavors of these special places, including fresh salmon and wild mushroom tarts from Normandy, France; baked halibut with wild berry glaze from Alaska; fish tacos and shrimp guacamole from Baja California, Mexico; and much more. Whether a world-traveling angler, someone dreaming of taking a first trip, or an armchair angler or traveler, all will appreciate the complete joy of fly fishing portrayed in these pages.
The Doll’s House Maker’s Room
The Dolls’ House Maker’s Room sits in a house of tools and memories, the tools as much metaphors as objects, the memories laden with objects and images, with the places and events that shape what we know and what we don’t. A maven of gentle surprise, Robin Thomas’ language is supple, generous and deeply reflective; his observations sharp, quick-witted and beautifully controlled. There is a signature breadth of reference in these poems — travel, film, the absurdities of life and human history, art, mortality, loss — united by a confident, distinctive, humane voice. bats foxes planes clouds lives made and unmade revolutions tea and cake a stately moon eternal stars I wake. It’s day. You’re still not here. (from ‘Wake’)

Autobiography
Autobiography is one of the most popular of written forms. From Casanova to Benjamin Franklin to the Kardashians, individuals throughout history have recorded their own lives and experiences. These personal writings are central to the work of literary critics, philosophers, historians and psychologists, who have found in autobiographies from across the centuries not only an understanding of the ways in which lives have been lived, but the most fundamental accounts of what it means to be a self in the world. In this Very Short Introduction Laura Marcus defines what we mean by ''autobiography'', and considers its relationship with similar literary forms such as memoirs, journals, letters, diaries, and essays. Analysing the core themes in autobiographical writing, such as confession, conversion and testimony; romanticism and the journeying self; Marcus discusses the autobiographical consciousness (and the roles played by time, memory and identity), and considers the relationship between psychoanalysis and autobiography. Exploring the themes of self-portraiture and performance, Marcus also discusses the ways in which fiction and autobiography have shaped each other.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Appalachian Plants
Richly illustrated and easily accessible, Appalachian Plants draws on centuries of botanical, cultural, and spiritual connections to the land as it invites readers of all ages into the vibrant world of southern Appalachia. Featuring regional staples such as ramps, tobacco, pawpaw, mountain mint, and white pine alongside more recent horticultural additions like rhubarb, persimmons, and sugar maples, the book presents a layered portrait of Appalachian flora. While author Linda Hager Pack provides scientific names and physical characteristics of each plant, her work goes beyond botany as each entry is enlivened with Native American legends, traditional folk remedies, historic recipes, and Appalachian lore that reveal the deeply rooted significance of plants in this storied region. The book honors the long history of plant use among the Cherokee and other Native American peoples of Appalachia, who developed sophisticated systems of herbal medicine, seasonal harvesting, and spiritual practices. From white pine salves to pawpaw fruit tonics, their knowledge shaped generations of land stewardship and ecological understanding. Additionally, European settlers brought seeds, farming practices, and folk beliefs from their home countries as well, adapting Old World crops and customs to mountain life. Meanwhile, African American enslaved people, servants, and free men and women also contributed a wealth of agricultural knowledge and medicinal plant traditions, immeasurably influencing the evolution of Appalachian foodways and herbal practices. This blending of traditions created a rich ethnobotanical legacy, one rooted in survival, community, and respect for the natural world. Featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations by Pat Banks and supported by instructional resources, this book serves both as a unique field guide and a cultural history of Appalachia. It invites readers to explore not just the uses of plants, but the stories they carry—across generations, geographies, and peoples—within the living landscape of Appalachia.

Ako nestarnúť
Keď sa Dr. Michael Greger, medzinárodne uznávaný lekár, odborník na výživu, zakladateľ NutritionFacts.org a autor bestsellerov Ako nezomrieť a Ako nediétovať, ponoril do lekárskeho výskumu o starnutí, uvedomil si, že strava môže regulovať boj proti vplyvom starnutia.
V knihe Ako nestarnúť rozoberá vedecké poznatky o starnutí a chronických ochoreniach a vysvetľuje, ako sa vyhnúť chorobám, s ktorými sa najčastejšie stretávame na našej ceste životom.
V bunkách nášho tela existuje jedenásť ciest starnutia a každú z nich môžeme narušiť. Procesy ako autofágia, teda detoxikácie, možno podporiť spermidínom, zlúčeninou, ktorá sa nachádza v tempehu, hubách a pšeničných klíčkoch. Senescentné „zombie“ bunky, ktoré chrlia zápaly a sú spojené s mnohými chorobami súvisiacimi s vekom, možno čiastočne odstrániť pomocou potravín bohatých na kvercetín, ako je cibuľa, jablká a kapusta.
Inšpirovaný stravovacími a životnými návykmi storočných ľudí a obyvateľov regiónov „modrej zóny“, kde ľudia žijú najdlhšie, Dr. Greger predstavuje jednoduché, dostupné a na dôkazoch založené metódy na zachovanie telesných funkcií, ktoré vo vás udržujú pocit mladosti, a to fyzicky aj psychicky.

Cottonwood Cove 5: Po búrke
On je večne mrzutý slobodný otecko. Ona je tá, ktorá mu unikla. Roky sa nevideli a teraz spolu uviazli v hotelovej izbe. Len s jednou posteľou.
Zamiloval som sa do nej vo chvíli, keď som ju prvý raz zbadal. A nikdy som ju neprestal milovať.
Či sme boli spolu, alebo od seba – moje city sa nezmenili. To je čo povedať, keďže nemám rád väčšinu ľudí.
Do cesty sa nám postavilo množstvo prekážok, tak sme sa rozišli. Rodina, žiarlivosť, život – dovolili sme im vytvoriť medzi nami múr.
Teraz som otcom a moja dcérka je pre mňa všetkým. Lenže po rokoch odlúčenia sa Presley objaví v Cottonwood Cove.
Neverím na rozprávky ani druhé šance. Moje srdce patrí mojej dcérke a na komplikácie nemám čas.
Presley Duncanová je komplikácia s veľkým K.
Rozumný muž by si od nej držal odstup. Nikdy som však o sebe netvrdil, že som rozumný. Možno spolu počas snehovej búrky skončíme v jednom aute. A možno nás to zavedie do hotelovej izby s jednou posteľou.
Pravdepodobne by som mal prehodnotiť svoj postoj k rozprávkam a druhým šanciam. Keď totiž vidím Presley s mojou dcérkou, niečo sa vo mne pohne. Niečo, čo som si myslel, že je dávno preč. Viem, že je to dočasné. Čoskoro odíde a ja som pripravený nechať ju ísť. Dokým ju skutočne nestratím. Až vtedy si uvedomím, že nie som pripravený na život po búrke.

Jejich setkání u obou odhalí stránky, o nichž ani jeden netušil. Doporučený věk 18+
