Murder in the Cathedral
Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder!When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgle? eanwhile the clock is ticking... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?

Minor Black Figures
Over a hot summer in New York a painter falls for a priest
Wyeth is a newcomer to New York, a young Black painter who is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. He shares a studio with his friends and earns money working for a gallery and an art restorer but he's struggling with his portrait painting, unable to truly capture the life of his subjects.
Then he meets Keating, a white former priest struggling with his faith. The two men seemingly have nothing in common, and yet Keating shows Wyeth how to see the world anew. But as the men grow closer, the differences between them become more stark, until Wyeth and Keating must decide what they are willing to risk - for art and for love.
Dark Laboratory
Our planet is on the precipice of ecological breakdown and climate despair is at an all-time high. But there are many communities who have survived beyond the environmental destruction wrought on them by colonialism - and they hold the solutions for climate repair.
Using the Caribbean as a case study, Tao Leigh Goffe traces the history of the islands back to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, when the Caribbean became the subject of Western exploitation. Charting the ecological forces that have shaped the islands - from guano to coral reefs, sugarcane to mongooses - and learning from Black, Indigenous and Asian island histories, Goffe makes the argument that the extractivist capitalism that is the origin of the climate crisis is borne from colonial thinking - and that to fight one effectively is to fight both.
Treating the Caribbean as both a warning and a guide, Dark Laboratory is a lyrical, vibrant and urgent investigation into the greatest threat facing humanity.
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle loved pseudo-orders, which she used to arbitrarily assemble terms and pictograms on a sheet of paper. Under the heading "I Love," for example, the sign of a snake could be found next to the emblem for justice, an orange spot for the corresponding color next to two stars as a symbol for astrology. Niki de Saint Phalle A-Z takes the same liberty and puts the many facets of Niki de Saint Phalle's work into the order of the alphabet.
This logical order is deceptive, though. From A as in AIDS to Z as in Zurich Angel, from B as in Bride to V as in Vanitas, a mosaic of concepts emerges that filters out the various levels of meaning in her manifold oeuvre and playfully engages them in mutual commentary.
Between Two Fires
The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village.
An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm-that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.
Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfil her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.
As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

Deficit
How can we create a better future - one that truly prioritises health and happiness?
For too long, economic thinkers have left out acts of care - written off as 'women's work' for centuries - from their calculations. The result? Terrible real-world consequences today: crumbling public services, struggling schools and care systems on the brink of collapse.
In Deficit, prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten reveals how and why this happened, and argues that the things that matter - doing homework with your child, checking in on loved ones, talking to a
colleague who doesn't seem well - might seem inconsequential, but are in fact the building blocks of the economy. Urgent and incisive, this is a call to rethink the economic value of care.

A Mannok
Az 1974-ben született német irodalomtörténész könyve dokumentumokra épülő, különleges családregény, Thomas Mann családjának élet- és kortörténete az 1920-as évek elejétől egészen a huszonegyedik század kezdetéig. Thomas Mann 1905-ben vette feleségül a dúsgazdag müncheni famíliából származó Katia Pringsheimet, és 1919-ig hat gyermeke - három fia és három lánya - született tőle.
Tilmann Lahme a legidősebb gyermekek, Erika és Klaus kamaszkorától követi nyomon a családtagok külön-külön is regénybe illően fordulatos, a német történelemmel szorosan összefonódó és sok szempontból tragikus sorsát. Kronologikus rendben, évről évre, a párhuzamos életrajzok módszerével halad.
A Mann-családban mindenki írt, ha mást nem, emlékezéseket, de mindenki az apa nyomasztó árnyékában. Publikált szövegeik mellett Lahme ismeretlen levelek, naplók és feljegyzések százait is áttanulmányozta, és bőségesen idéz belőlük. A tényeket és a dokumentumokat beszélteti, ő maga nem fűz hozzájuk értelmező, minősítő kommentárokat. Éppen ezek a tények oszlatnak el azonban olyan legendákat, amelyeket elsősorban a családtagok maguk híreszteltek el magukról, így többek közt a politikai tisztánlátás és következetesség illúzióját, valamint a családi harmónia ködét.
Dinoszaurusz-menhely 2.
Egyetlen hiba fenekestül felforgatta a dinoszauruszok sorsát.
Amikor fény derült arra, hogy a dinoszauruszok mégsem pusztultak ki teljesen, egy csapásra elvarázsolták az emberiséget. Egészen addig tartott a láz, amíg egy katasztrofális baleset a kihalás szélére nem sodorta a dinómániát... Kaidou, aki saját szemével látta az eseményeket, végre megnyílik és elmeséli mi történt, így az újonc Suma Suzume jobban rálát a tragédiára és munkatársa múltjára, mint valaha is hitte volna.
De persze a lánynak akad más dolga is. Amikor épp nem a sötét múlttal foglalkozik, jöhet a válságkezelés, egy piciny Troodon felnevelése vagy egy szépkorú T-rex születésnapi partija... a Dinolandben egyetlen nap sem unalmas!
A teljesen egyedi, nagy sikert aratott manga-sorozat megalkotásában a mangaka Itaru Kinoshita segítségére volt Dr. Shin-ichi Fujiwara paleontológus is, aki a dinoszauruszokkal kapcsolatos tudományos háttérre figyelt, így izgalmasan, de egyben tudományos alapossággal bemutatva láthatjuk a dinók és a kihívásokkal küzdő rezervátum hétköznapjait.
