The Weight of Glass
From the author of Into the Fall comes a chilling psychological thriller about family, forgiveness, and the fear of long-hidden truths, set amid the snowbound wilderness along Lake Superior’s North Shore. In this chilling thriller set deep in the winter wilderness of Lake Superior’s North Shore, a mother goes missing after receiving a mysterious gift—and a daughter risks everything to bring her back. Emma Meadows has a secret. One she’s been carrying for over twenty years, too terrified to tell even her devoted husband. The unassuming mother of one tries to blend in with life in her sleepy Canadian town on the shores of Lake Superior, but on Christmas Day, Emma’s boisterous in-laws make it nearly impossible. When a strange gift arrives bearing a sinister message, her nerves threaten to shatter. The next day, she disappears. Although the police and her husband think Emma just walked away, twenty-one-year-old Jaden believes there’s more to her mother’s disappearance. Searching for answers, she begins with the gift: a glass music box. But as Jaden’s questions open a window into her mother’s past, they spark unwanted attention from a stranger, forcing her on the run. Trapped by a brutal ice storm in the heart of a northern wilderness, Jaden is forced to confront her mother’s secrets and a stranger carrying a dangerous truth. Fighting to protect the people they love—no matter what—Jaden, Emma, and the stranger find themselves on a collision course from a deadly past.
Plane Food
This colorful guide gives plane food the spotlight it deserves, serving up sky-high in-flight meal critiques in a hilarious global travelogue with a side of wanderlust. Every year, Sadovnik, celebrated producer and electronic music DJ (Instagram 54.4K followers), logs tens of thousands of flight miles a year circling the globe on dozens of airlines to play DJ gigs and festivals and, in the process, has written a wry travelogue from the airline meals served to him, which he's obsessively chronicled. This humorous catalog captures the sky's most brilliant culinary creations and its near-misses. Ranging from bleak to inspired, photographs of the oft-inventive personal-tray tablescapes from around the world are paired with simple, wholly unscientific meal descriptions, airlines, and rankings from "Inedible" to "Gourmet" a gift book and illustrated memoir that truly captures the adventurous spirit of flight and the pleasures and perils of eating on the wing. With approximately five billion tickets sold annually and an estimated 700 million individual passengers, air travel is an experience shared by an ever-growing slice of humanity. No matter where you're from or where you're headed, the ritual of peeling back seals and lids to decipher mystery meals is a strangely universal one, uniting us all in midair moments of curiosity, delight, or dismay. Capturing this shared slice of sky-high culture, PLANE FOOD is a hilarious and oddly heartfelt tribute to the global quirks of in-flight dining proof that the real adventure begins with whatever s served at cruising altitude.
Insecurity Politics
The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populismIn Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments. Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today’s populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda—one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.

The Fairy Courts
The Fairy Courts is an in-depth exploration of its subject, from the original Scottish to modern fiction, mapping out beliefs and how they have evolved. It covers the social structure of fairies, the history of the Scottish Seelie and Unseelie courts, the fairy courts outside Scotland, and it offers a look at how fairy courts are being adapted today in fiction and belief. The Seelie and Unseelie courts have become a staple in fiction and a common idea in pop culture, yet their origins and how they were and are understood in Scottish folklore have become obscure. The Fairy Courts discusses the history of belief as it is traced from the 1500s to today, concluding with a chapter about the ways that folk belief and anecdotes show us how a human might survive in a fairy court.
Nerovně sjednoceni
Přestože od pádu Berlínské zdi uplynulo již víc než třicet pět let, zůstává Německo zemí, kterou stále prostupují rozdíly mezi bývalým Východem a Západem. Renomovaný německý sociolog ve své oceněné knize analyzuje, proč proces znovusjednocení nepřinesl očekávané vyrovnání životních podmínek, zkušeností ani identit. Na základě dat, výzkumů i osobních svědectví ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi bývalou NDR a západní částí země nejsou jen ekonomické, ale také kulturní, sociální a mentální.
Kniha je podnětná nejen pro pochopení německé reality, ale i složitého procesu společenské transformace po roce 1989 v dalších středoevropských postkomunistických zemích, tedy i v České republice. Osloví čtenáře se zájmem o sociologii, moderní dějiny i současné politické dění.

O co jde? - Proč Bohu záleží na sexu
Tato kniha pomůže vašim dětem porozumět přicházející pubertě. Citlivě, ale narovinu vysvětluje změny, které se brzy začnou odehrávat v jejich těle i mysli, a na rozdíl od běžné školní sexuální výchovy ukazuje všechny tyto proměny jako součást krásného Božího stvoření.
Tato kniha také dětem pomáhá lépe porozumět sexu. Možná o něm už něco slyšely – z internetu, televize nebo od spolužáků – ale tyto informace bývají často zkreslené a neúplné. Kniha ukazuje, že sex je Boží dar, který má prohlubovat lásku mezi manžely a upevňovat jejich rodinu.
A nakonec vám tato kniha pomůže otevřeně mluvit i o těžkých, ale důležitých tématech, jako je pornografie a sexuální zneužívání. Díky těmto rozhovorům se děti naučí, jak se chránit, a zároveň budou vědět, že se na vás mohou kdykoli obrátit o pomoc.
The Infinity Machine
A revelatory portrait of the visionary behind Google DeepMind, the race to control the future – and what it means to win.
Even in a tech world crowded with visionary leaders, Demis Hassabis is recognized as a special case. Born to working class, immigrant parents in North London, a chess prodigy by five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven-figure job offer from a video-game studio to study science at Cambridge. Long before the current obsession with AI, he founded the path-breaking company DeepMind in order to pursue a single, audacious goal: the dream of artificial superintelligence, which would solve humanity’s hardest problems, change life and work as we know it, and perhaps even unlock the deepest mysteries of the Universe. For his scientific achievements, he won a Nobel Prize in 2024, and his company, now Google DeepMind, is considered the tech giant’s engine room.
For the past three years, Sebastian Mallaby has had unprecedented access to Hassabis and DeepMind, conducting hundreds of hours of interviews with him and his inner circle as well as detractors and rivals at other companies. The result is a revelation-packed portrait of a singular mind and a historic reckoning with the AI revolution, a shift potentially more significant than any since the dawn of complex thought 70,000 years ago.
As Mallaby chronicles, DeepMind is locked in an arms race with Silicon Valley competitors to build artificial general intelligence, and thereby become the keeper of humanity’s future. Yet this is not a Silicon Valley story. Hassabis has remained in Britain, and unlike his rivals, his aims are not wealth and power but scientific enlightenment. Like them, however, he is haunted by the memory of Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atom bomb. He aims to control the technology, but the technology may ultimately control him – and humanity writ large.
Liars and Liaisons
Vengeance always comes with a price.
Kissing a masked stranger wasn't on Violet Artinos's list of things she thought would happen at her cousin's political fundraiser. In fact, her plan was simply to show support, win back the ex-boyfriend rumoured to be in attendance, and go on with her off-grid life.
She never would've made a move on the stranger if she'd known he wasn't who she thought, but her ex's younger brother had other plans.
Out in public for the first time in weeks, Professor Grayson James has his sights set on revenge. When he spots Violet, he immediately ropes her into his plot by kissing and blackmailing her to live at his haunted estate.
He claims it'll drive his brother mad, but the truth turns out to be more complicated than they ever imagined. Suddenly, Violet's life of secrets is unravelling at the hands of a dark, depraved man who seems to have no intentions of letting her go.
But his obsession might be exactly what puts her in danger...

Napnak és holdnak csillaga
Elora Forres a háború utáni Skócia egy elfeledett városában, Ravenmire-ban él, amíg egy naplóban talált latin mondat ki nem szakítja a saját idejéből, és 1677-be sodorja. Oda, ahol a klánok és nemesi házak közötti hatalmi harc mindennapos, a boszorkányokat üldözik, és szövetségek nélkül eltaposhatnak.
Elora hamar rájön, hogy nem bízhat senkiben, mégis kénytelen az őt védelmező klánvezér, Arden mellett maradni. A hazajutás lehetetlennek tűnik: nem emlékszik, hogyan került ide, és azt sem tudja, hogyan térhetne vissza. A beilleszkedés ígérete hamar szertefoszlik, amikor kiderül, hogy ő maga is boszorkány. Ám a mágia ebben a világban nem áldás, hanem átok. Minden varázsige fájdalomból születik, és az újabb képességek nyomot hagynak a testen vagy a lélekben. Elorának pedig muszáj túlélnie, és megtanulnia irányítani az erejét, amellyel megóvhatja azokat, akik ezen a helyen a családot jelentik számára.
Mindeközben a döntései nemcsak a saját sorsát alakítják, hanem Ardenét is, mikor megérti, hogy szeretni veszélyesebb, mint menekülni. Elora végül kénytelen szembenézni a félelmeivel, és eldönteni, hogy hajlandó-e lemondani mindarról, amit Ravenmire követel tőle – emlékekről, kapcsolatokról és akár a jövőjéről is.

Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)
A handbook for how to organize to meet immediate needs in your community and work toward lasting change.
Around the world, people are faced with crisis after crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to or actively engineer each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable members of their communities.
This survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid has been a part of all larger, powerful social movements, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Mutual aid isn't charity: it's a form of organizing where people get to create new systems of care and generosity so we can survive.

Starside
The stunning standard edition of Starside, with illustrated endpapers, a special hardcover case design and jacket effects.

Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals – the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic. Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest for magic that can heal, grant wealth or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance against the gods who killed her family. Winning one of the fifty spots on the quest won’t be easy. An orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, Aris doesn’t have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords, ones that contain power, are not inherited or bought – they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor... but a target. Countless dangers await on Starside. With a blade most would kill to take, Aris can’t trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious knight who betrayed her years ago – and who may now be the key to her survival. But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family’s death. And when it’s revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what’s coming... Starside was an instant No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller w/e 4th April 2026.
