Waffles and Julius: No Hugs Please
Introducing Waffles and Julius: a new grumpy/sunshine duo and the stars of this brilliantly funny, brand-new picture book. Focused on friendship and respecting each other's differences, No Hugs Please comes from the mind of Ed Vere, the bestselling creator of Max the Brave and How to Be a Lion.
Meet Waffles and Julius.
Waffles loves hugs.
Julius does not.
Waffles would very much like to hug his friend Julius. Julius, however, prefers other things: most notably, cat-naps. But definitely not hugs.
Waffles will wait until Julius is ready. It won't be so hard...will it?
(Yes...it will.)
Will Waffles get a hug?
"Vere presents the classic cat-and-dog conflict with humor that primarily comes through his colorful mixed-media illustrations.The playful text makes for a lively read-aloud. Underneath the silliness is a welcome lesson about patience, respecting boundaries, and accepting others as they are." - The Horn Book Magazine.
The Rolling Stones
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN … THE ROLLING STONES
What left is there to say about the Stones?
A hell of a lot, it turns out . . .
You think you know the story? Think again. Shorn of dulling layers of myth and received wisdom, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground and command our attention.
And at the heart of it all is the remarkable, unique, fractious, codependent, alchemical bond between Mick and Keith, the Glimmer Twins. There's been debauchery, decadence and death along the way. Not everyone survived the journey, but the band was always greater than the sum of its parts, laying down a trail of classic albums and landmark live performances in its wake.
Drawing on decades of music industry experience and five years of dedicated research, critically acclaimed biographer Bob Spitz brings a fresh eye to the epic story of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.
In 2026 they remain in a league of their own. The Rolling Stones shows why.
The Secrets of our DNA
DNA has become one of the most powerful tools in modern science; From unlocking crime and immigration cases, to ensuring our food and animal safety, to resolving questions of history and archaeology, ancestry and even, for some, identity.
In this eye-opening book, Professor Turi King - the scientist who identified the remains of Richard III in a Leicester car park - uncovers how genetics is changing the way we understand the world. Through compelling real-life cases, she shows how DNA has solved crimes, rewritten history, and reshaped ideas of who we are.
From the O. J. Simpson trial to mistaken dinosaur DNA, from Dolly the sheep to Angelina Jolie's BRCA1 gene, King brings genetics to life with fascinating examples that reveal what DNA can - and can't - tell us about who we are.
She reminds us that while our DNA can reveal a predisposition to certain diseases and conditions, it doesn't determine our future. And, perhaps most importantly, she shows why we all need to be part of the conversation about how new genetic discoveries are used for the benefit of life on Earth.
Compelling, compassionate, and entirely captivating, The Secrets of Our DNA is the must-read book about how genetics has changed - and is changing - the world.
Tonight the Music Seems So Loud
He wrote one of the biggest hits of our age in 'about an hour' in his childhood bedroom.
He would go on to collaborate with some of the greatest musicians of all time, from Aretha Franklin to Stevie Wonder.
He was a pop star who bleached his hair blonde, wore tiny shorts and, at the same time, critiqued his own image mercilessly.
He lived through the AIDS crisis and one of the most homophobic periods of British history and yet when he finally came out, he did so boldly and unapologetically.
Wham! were the first Western pop group to play in Communist China and he repeatedly broke boundaries in music too.
Ten years after his death, George Michael is still everywhere: the annual success of 'Last Christmas', new covers of his songs, and endless memes on social media.
Tonight the Music Seems So Loud is at once a kaleidoscopic portrait of one of Britain's most beloved musicians and an account of a strange and turbulent period of British history. In his unconventional and enthralling book, bestselling author Sathnam Sanghera explores the connection between music and politics, exposes what secrecy does to the soul, and reveals how fame rots the sense of self. Throughout, Sanghera captures, joyfully and poignantly, one of Britain's greatest artists in all his musical glory.
The One Day You Were My Husband
HE PROMISED HER A LIFETIME. HE GAVE HER FOUR HOURS.
Twelve years ago, Carrie said "I do" on a sun-drenched beach in Thailand. Four hours later, her world shattered when her husband, Johan, was snatched away in a violent abduction. He was never seen again.
Today, Carrie is a working mum, navigating the beautiful chaos of raising premature twins and rebuilding her life with a man who truly loves her. She has finally found peace. The past is a closed book.
Until she sees his face on a computer screen.
Johan is alive. He has a new life. And he never tried to find her.
Driven by a desperate need for answers, Carrie risks the stability of her marriage and the safety of her family to uncover the truth of what happened that day in Thailand. But as she peels back the layers of Johan's double life, she is forced to face a devastating question:
Is the truth worth the destruction of her second chance at happiness?
A love story with the pulse of a thriller, The One Day You Were My Husband is a "gasp-inducing" journey through secrets, motherhood, and the high cost of a first love that refuses to stay buried.
How to Win a Trade War
An essential guide to our new era of economic competition. From Soumaya Keynes, podcaster and columnist at the Financial Times and Chad Bown, former Chief Economist at the US State Department under President Biden.
We used to take trade for granted. Trillions of dollars of goods and services crossed borders each year. Nobody paid too much attention: it just worked.
Now, surging oil prices can hit your mortgage. Trump's latest tariff announcement can crash markets and ruin your pension. Brexit can sever Britain from its closest trading partners. Chinese restrictions can bring the West's car production to a crashing halt. Curbs on trade in cutting-edge chips could determine who wins the AI race. The stakes couldn't be higher.
In this irreverent guide, Keynes and Bown explore the history, players, and rules of trade, asking how we prepare for what the future might hold. Could trade wars lead to hot wars? What can the West learn from China? How should countries defend their economies?
Timely, funny and informative, How to Win a Trade War argues that the old system is dead. But what will emerge in its place? And ultimately, what is at stake for you, your country, and your company?
Stealing Hitler's Rocket
This is the incredible story of how one of Adolf Hitler's top secret V2 rockets was stolen by the Poles and smuggled to Britain in the most extraordinary operation of the Second World War. More extraordinary still, it is a story that is utterly neglected.
The V2 rocket was part of Adolf Hitler's plan to break British morale. The world's first rocket delivered warhead, the VI, had killed thousands of British people before allied forces captured its launch sites and halted the weapon in its tracks. What they weren't ready for was a new and more terrifying rocket appearing seemingly out of thin air - this one as tall as a four-storey building and using highly advanced technology. Powered by a rocket engine burning a mix of alcohol-water and liquid oxygen, the V2 blasted its way to the edge of space, before falling back to Earth at supersonic speed and killing thirty thousand people. This was the threat of Hitler's terror made devastatingly real.
But Winston Churchill's intelligence chiefs had known of the weapon weeks before it first struck the mainland, and British operatives hatched a plan with Polish resistance forces to smuggle one of these rockets out from underneath Hitler's nose. In Stealing Hitler's Rocket, Guy Walters reveals the true extent of the secret and life-threatening operation undertaken by the allies and the Polish underground movement that changed the course of history forever.

Zákonník práce – zákon s komentárom
Dňa 15. apríla 2026 bol schválený nový zákon zákona o rovnakom odmeňovaní mužov a žien za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty. Zákon svojím spôsobom ovplyvňuje aj základný pracovnoprávny predpis, ktorým je Zákonník práce. Vzhľadom na novú právnu úpravu sa v Zákonníku práce vypustila úprava o práve na rovnakú mzdu pre mužov a ženy a ponechal sa odkaz na úpravu rovnakého odmeňovania na osobitný predpis, ktorým je práve nový zákon č. 76/2026 Z. z. Právo na rovnaké odmeňovanie podľa nového zákona je totiž širšie, nezahŕňa iba mzdu, ale všetky základné a doplnkové zložky odmeny. V ustanovená § 119a Zákonníka práce sa ponechalo zakotvenie práva na rovnaké odmeňovanie pre osoby rovnakého pohlavia za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty s tým, že rovnaká práca alebo práca rovnakej hodnoty sa v záujme jednotnosti bude určovať na základe tých istých kritérií ako v novom zákone.

Komentář je zaměřen na komplexní výklad právních předpisů v oblasti bytového spoluvlastnictví a bytového družstevnictví v aktuální podobě, několik let po nabytí účinnosti významné novely občanského zákoníku a zákona o obchodních korporacích č. 163/2020 Sb., která zásadně proměnila právní rámec obou oblastí. Cílem druhého vydání je nejen shrnout a systematizovat provedené změny, ale především zhodnotit jejich praktické dopady. Publikace reflektuje rozsáhlý nárůst judikatury vydané od prvního vydání a promítá ji do výkladu jednotlivých ustanovení. Autoři se soustředí zejména na problematická místa právní úpravy a nabízejí řešení vycházející z rozhodovací praxe soudů i z vlastních zkušeností s aplikací práva.
Komentář tak poskytuje prakticky orientovaný a srozumitelný výklad nové koncepce bytového spoluvlastnictví jako zvláštní formy spoluvlastnictví, jakož i úpravy bytových družstev, včetně jejich vnitřních poměrů a vztahů k členům. Publikace je určena především advokátům, soudcům, notářům, správcům domů, členům orgánů společenství vlastníků jednotek a bytových družstev i dalším odborníkům, kteří se s touto problematikou setkávají v praxi.
Bacon Disfigured
A collection of essays that opens up new connections between Francis Bacon's art and the ideas of key thinkers.
Francis Bacon is undoubtedly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. In his paintings, Bacon radically disfigures his subjects, making them all but unrecognizable. This is no mere stylistic quirk, but the expression of a deeply held aesthetic vision. For Bacon, the essence of a subject can only be captured in the distorted recording of its appearance. His disfigurations are therefore, as he himself says, attempts to bring back the intensity of reality, to paint images that are 'truer than the literal truth'.
In this groundbreaking collection of essays, some of today's leading philosophers and psychoanalytic theorists go to work on Bacon. They do to the artist what the artist does to his own figures: they disfigure and distort him, twisting and turning him into something new and previously unseen. This strategy of disfiguration blasts Bacon out of his traditional contexts, opening up new connections between his art and the ideas of key thinkers, including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Freud, Canguilhem, Genet, Lacan, Adorno and Althusser. The results are revelatory, allowing us to transform our understanding not only of Bacon but also of modernism itself.
In Defence of Populism
'Populist' is now most commonly used as a term of abuse. Populists, we are repeatedly told, are xenophobic ignoramuses offering irrational, emotive solutions to complex problems. But is this tru? rank Furedi argues that this is a self-serving narrative that owes more to the desire of elites to protect their own power and interests than it does to the truth. The widespread disdain expressed towards populism in the media and by many academics is in fact poorly concealed contempt towards the idea of popular sovereignty and democratic decision-making. Populism is not equivalent to any specific ideology, as populist politicians vary greatly in their substantive views, but it is rather a broad disposition towards public life that stresses the value of giving the ordinary citizen a genuine voice in political decision-making. Attacks on 'populism' most commonly reveal the desire of those who run our institutions to keep real authority in the hands of unaccountable elites who veil their power under the guise of 'expertise'. This bracing defence of basic democratic values by one of our most fearless polemicists should be read by anyone who mistakes the complacent assurances of our elite for the wisdom of our betters.
Footsteps of Faith
Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves to hear a story… In Footsteps of Faith, popular speaker and mentor Tony Horsfall distils the wisdom of over 50 years of discipleship and ministry. Using the events of his own life story to illustrate the ways in which God prepares us for ministry and shapes us for fruitfulness, he reflects on different life stages and identifies key phases of the spiritual journey. Through these he explores the process of leadership development and considers issues of transition and change, purpose and identity, and rest and contentment.
Menopauzaagy
Az XX-agy szerzőjének új könyve
"Végre egy könyv, amelyből megérthetjük, mi történik agyunkban a változókor alatt. A szerző gyakorlati útmutatásaival ezt az időszakot tudatosan, egészségesen és felkészülten élhetjük meg."
Iványi Orsolya menopauza edukációs aktivista, a Magyar Menopausa Társaság vezetőségi tagja
A menopauzára tekinthetünk úgy, mint mindennek a befejezésére, de úgy is, mint egy új kezdetre - rajtunk is múlik, miként éljük meg.
A menopauza és a perimenopauza számos kellemetlen tünettel jár: hőhullámokkal, álmatlansággal, "agyi köddel". Az ösztrogénszint csökkenése nem csupán a nők testhőmérsékletét, hangulatát és emlékezetét befolyásolja, hanem fokozhatja a későbbi életkorban bekövetkező kognitív hanyatlás kockázatát is. A Menopauzaagy bemutatja a változókori panaszok hátterében álló összetett hormonális folyamatokat, amelyekben az agy központi szerepet játszik. Dr. Lisa Mosconi ismerteti a korszerű hormonpótló terápiák, a hormonális fogamzásgátlás és az életmódbeli változtatások kedvező hatásait. Eloszlatja azt a mítoszt, hogy a változókor mindennek a végét jelenti, és hangsúlyozza: a menopauza körüli időszak átmeneti jelenség, a női lét természetes szakasza.
A Menopauzaagy hiánypótló, teljes szívemből ajánlom mindenkinek.
Naomi Watts színésznő
DR. LISA MOSCONI világszerte ismert olasz-amerikai kutató, egyetemi docens, neuroradiológus. PhD-diplomáját a Firenzei Egyetemen szerezte. A New York-i Weill Cornell Orvostudományi Egyetem Alzheimer-megelőzési programjának igazgatójaként indította el úttörő kezdeményezését, amely a női agyat vizsgálja, és azt, hogyan befolyásolják a nemi különbségek az agy öregedését és az Alzheimer-kór kockázatát. A The Times szerint korunk legbefolyásosabb 17 női tudósának egyike. Az ELLE magazin 2022-ben beválasztotta a világ megváltoztatásáért legtöbbet tevő 100 nő közé.

Good and Evil and Other Stories
The Global Bestseller from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted Author of Fever Dream

For a single moment, a baby is left unattended in a room of everyday dangers.
In a high-rise apartment block, in a city far from home, a ghost appears.
When a lonely woman acts on a kind impulse the consequences will be dark, bold and revelatory.
From the thrice International Booker nominated author of Fever Dream and Little Eyes come six perfect terrors to change your days and haunt your dreams.
Give Me Butterflies - Jöhetnek a pillangók - Oaks Sisters 1.
Megható, szenvedélyes munkahelyi románc egy tudományos múzeum falai közt.
Millie-t soha nem érdekelték az elvárások. Gyerekkori rajongása a bogarak és a természettudomány iránt a rovartan területére kalauzolta őt, és kurátorként naponta inspirálja a múzeumba látogatókat. Nagy álma, hogy a Rovartani Tár osztályvezetőjévé váljon, ezért amikor a pozíció megüresedik, elhatározza, hogy semmi sem térítheti el a céljától. Főleg nem Finn, a mindig mogorva kolléga, akinek rosszalló tekintete, mélykék szeme és megszámlálhatatlan csillagászati mintás nyakkendője van... Nem mintha Millie ezekre odafigyelne.
Finn nem szándékosan mogorva mindenkivel, csupán nehezen tartja egyensúlyban az élete különböző területeit: egyedül neveli unokahúgait, igyekszik, hogy legalább néha ne égesse oda a vacsorájukat, gyászolja elveszített nővérét, és közben a múzeumban is helyt kell állnia. Nem engedheti el magát, és végképp nincs szüksége több bonyodalomra - különösen a ragyogó mosolyú, rendíthetetlenül optimista Millie-re, akivel szó szerint folyton összeütközik.
A férfi túl bogaras. A nő vakítóan ragyog, akár egy csillag. Nem áll szándékukban közelebbről megismerni egymást, de mivel Finn tagja a pozícióra interjúztató bizottságnak, ez elkerülhetetlen. Millie hamarosan rájön, hogy a karrierjét kockáztatni egy dolog; a szívét kockáztatni viszont már egészen más.

The Make-Believe
From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality.
In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.
From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
The Kings of Kearny
From the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Lights Out comes a dark and steamy motorcycle club romance, perfect for fans of Paisley Hope
Jakob Larson is going to be the death of me.
That's what I think every time he strides into my bar. The Kings of Kearny run this small Texas town, and Jakob is their chief enforcer. The Viking, they call him. He's a criminal. As dangerous as he is sexy. The kind of man who makes my inner cavewoman sit up and take notice.
I'm ready to indulge her desires, but just for one night.
Unfortunately, Jakob has other plans. Someone in town is breaking one of the cardinal rules set by the leader of The Kings, and Jakob thinks they're using my grandmother's nursing home to do it. Now I'm neck-deep in trouble with him, and every time I think I've figured out what's really going on, Jakob reveals another piece of the puzzle.
I need to figure out how far I'm willing to go to protect this town. How far I'm willing to go with Jakob. Because if I fall for him, there's no going back. No hope for a peaceful ending. But Jakob is the kind of man who makes me think that peaceful is overrated, and that descending into darkness with him could lead to something even better than a Happily Ever After.
