Az álom
„Ebből a könyvből kiderül, hogyan vált hétszer is valóra az álmom. De azt is elmesélem, hányszor bizonyult elérhetetlennek számomra. A futball sok mindenben hasonlít az élet más területeihez: az ember a legtöbbször nem győz. Remélem, elég szerény vagyok ahhoz, hogy megértsem, időnként a vereségből lehet a legtöbbet tanulni. Amikor viszont az ember mindenkit legyőz, az az érzés semmihez sem hasonlítható.” Carlo Ancelotti mind az öt európai topligában nyert bajnoki címet, olyan csapatoknál dolgozott, mint az AC Milan, a Juventus, a Paris Saint-Germain, a Bayern München, a Chelsea és a Real Madrid. De nemcsak ez teszi őt különlegessé kortársai között, hanem az is, hogy minden rekordot megdöntött a Bajnokok Ligájában: hétszer emelhette a magasba a trófeát, kétszer játékosként, ötször pedig edzőként. Az álom című kötetből kiderül, miért rajong annyira Carlo a világ legértékesebb klubtrófeájáért, és az is, mi kell ahhoz, hogy valaki ennyire sikeres legyen a nemzetközi porondon. Gyermekkori álmáról, a nagy meccsekről, klasszis játékosokról és az egyes szezonok kulcspillanatairól egyaránt mesél az olasz mester, aki betekintést enged a napi munkába, és belülről mutatja meg nekünk a Bajnokok Ligája csodáját.
Vocal Break
A dazzlingly original reassessment of the power and plurality of women's singing voices by the critically acclaimed author of Art Monsters and Scaffolding
'It took me ten years to go from shy young girl to punk rocker, if I'd had this book I'd have got there much quicker' Viv Albertine
For millennia, women's raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death.
In Vocal Break, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices - and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing.
A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women's voices, including Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyoncé, FKA Twigs and Billie Eilish.
Reflecting on what makes women's singing so powerful - to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it - Vocal Break is a joyous call to arms, a siren call:
Girls to the front: NOW.

The Specialist
The breathtaking, unputdownable insider account of Britain's most hidden profession What happens after the police tape comes down? Ben Giles has spent thirty years cleaning what most people can't bear to imagine. Dead bodies decomposing for weeks. Kitchen floors painted with blood. Hoarders' homes where the filth tells stories of unimaginable loneliness. A whale carcass lodged on a cargo ship. This is the Britain you never see – until someone needs to make it disappear. Starting with nothing but a bucket of Dettol and a can-do attitude, Giles built the UK's leading biohazard cleaning network. From industrial spillages to animal remains, he's faced horrors that would break most people – and taught hundreds of people to do the same, in full hazmat gear. Yet threaded through the gore and dark humour is something unexpected: profound compassion for the lives interrupted, the families destroyed, and the deaths that society prefers to forget. The Specialist takes you behind the scenes of suicides, murders, and tragic accidents — revealing not just which chemicals remove bloodstains, and how, but what violence, neglect, and loss actually look like when the rest of us can only look away. It's unflinching, occasionally hilarious, and utterly unforgettable.

Panzer I vs T-26
This fully illustrated study pits Germany’s Panzer I against the Soviet T-26 in the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, as Spain descended into civil war, both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union sent tanks to aid the opposing sides, keen to see how they fared in combat. Armed with twin machine guns, Germany’s Panzer I fought alongside Nationalist troops, while the 45mm-armed Soviet T-26 took the field with Republican forces, with captured examples soon equipping the Nationalists. In this book, Jacek Zabielski reveals the origins, development and combat history of these two types, which remained in front-line service in 1941 as Hitler’s forces invaded the Soviet Union. While both types were soon outclassed by better-armed and -armoured successors, the lessons learned in Spain would shape German and Soviet combined-arms doctrine on the Eastern Front during and after Operation Barbarossa. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, full-colour mapping and archive photographs alongside the authoritative text, this study reveals how the Panzer I and T-26 performed in battle, and their technical and tactical influence throughout World War II.

The Warrior Mindset
Foreword by Tom HardyAs a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time. His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting, Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him. In The Tao of the Champion, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including: -'Learning to breathe', -'Controlling your emotions', -'Mastering your thinking', and '-'Developing Quiet Inner Grace'. Going far beyond the mat, this hard won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace.
Melete
Jennifer Lee Tsai’s first full-length poetry book is a compelling narrative exploring family history, intergenerational trauma, love, loss, migration and belonging from the perspective of a second-generation British Chinese identity. Melete interweaves dual cultures and heritages, moving from China and Hong Kong to Liverpool. The mythic structure of the book relates to the three original Boeotian Muses – Melete, Mneme and Aoede. Named after the Muse of meditation and contemplation, Melete navigates the boundaries between life and art, personhood and subjectivity, states and places of spiritual transcendence. This expansive book establishes a powerfully distinctive lyric voice in British poetry.
