Dítě s ADHD a vývojovou dysfázií často působí, jako by „nezapadalo“. Ve skutečnosti jen prožívá svět jinak – intenzivněji, citlivěji a často v neustálém boji s nepochopením okolí. Kryštof ÁDéHáDě je silný osobní příběh mámy, která se postupně učí rozumět svému synovi i systému, do něhož vstupuje. Od prvních školních obtíží přes chvíle bezradnosti, únavy a osamění až po postupné hledání cest, které opravdu pomáhají. Kniha zachycuje deset let zkušeností s ADHD, vývojovou dysfázií, školním prostředím i každodenním hledáním způsobů, jak zvládat školu, učení i běžný život. Rozšířené vydání přináší novou část A co dál?, ve které autorka s odstupem let propojuje osobní zkušenost matky s praxí asistentky pedagoga, učitelky a výchovné poradkyně. Součástí knihy jsou také stručné a praktické taháky pro rodiče i pedagogy. Do příběhu navíc vstupuje i samotný Kryštof a otevřeně popisuje, co mu při učení, soustředění a zvládání školy skutečně pomáhá. Tato kniha není jen o ADHD a vývojové dysfázii. Je o dětech, které potřebují být pochopeny dřív, než budou hodnoceny.

A stunning reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same dystopian world woven with magic as The Enemy’s Daughter. An incredibly addictive YA enemies-to-lovers dystopian fantasy. A soldier with magic. A thief with a secret. A spark that could burn their worlds down. In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help those they mistreat. That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. Revealing her identity could help him secure the deal he needs to save his homeland. Or, it could blow everything apart – if Marian has her way. But Ryland holds his own secrets – untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people. And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor … and magic – the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.

What would you give up to feel safe?The security industry has captured our politics and our private lives. From rogue states to Ring doorbells, someone is always keeping a watchful eye - and we're paying for it. Anthropologist Ruben Andersson shows how Big Security rose to power, generating unprecedented profits, while failing to protect us and actively making us less safe.In this page-turning dispatch from security's frontlines - across the political right and left and global rich and poor - he tracks police chiefs in Swedish suburbs, embeds with migrants in Mexico, bunkers down with peacekeepers in Mali and dines with arms dealers in Paris.Everywhere, he finds that our shared obsession with security is an act of retreat: high walls, constant surveillance and punitive policies offer the illusion of control while fuelling paranoia and precarity. Every tracking app installed, border fortified, or emergency law passed makes us less free and less safe. Real safety is found an open, shared society with a strong social contract, freedom of expression and a sense of positive human purpose.We have given up so much in the name of safety and convenience.But once we see how security has trapped us, we can start to break free.

'A spirited skewering of the idea that things can only get better' The Guardian 'A new understanding of our past' Danny Dorling, author of Inequality and the 1% ________________________________ Progress is power. But our modern story of progress is a very dangerous fiction. In the pursuit of progress, of growth and expansion, we have levelled cities, flattened mountains, charted the globe and ushered in a new geological epoch unique in our planet’s 4.5-billion-year history. The idea of progress has compelled societies toward exploration, invention, and grandiosity on one hand, and on the other, genocide, slavery, ecocide, and conquest: it is the root of our civilization’s success, as well as its looming demise. Geographer Samuel Miller McDonald offers a radical new perspective on the myth upon which the modern world is built, illuminating its blood-strewn lineage and suggesting an urgent alternative. He traces the history of how human societies broke from their pasts, broke from their environments, and broke from longstanding egalitarian values that sustained them, supplanting these with one imperative to rule all others: progress. If humanity is to have any chance of a future, then we must fundamentally change the way we think about one of our most basic political ideas. This landmark work shows us where to begin. ________________________________ 'Progress explodes the great myth of our time. Lucid and wise' David Farrier, author of Footprints 'If you think progress will take us to the promised land, this is a must-read' Alpa Shah, author of The Incarcerations

‘… a bracing guide to reclaiming your time by confronting the emotional habits that quietly give it away’ – Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE and THE POWER OF REGRET Are you craving extra time in your day, as well as the wisdom and self-awareness to use it joyfully and effectively?  In The 25th Hour, executive coach Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions eat away at our time and our energy – and shows us how to manage these responses to free up at least an hour each day. We need to address unproductive worrying, fear-based decision making, obsession over other people’s actions and behaviours – and, more than anything else, we need to get out of our own way. This paradigm-shifting book offers a simple, practical approach to professional development, moving the focus beyond strategies for greater efficiency to what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses.

‘The yearning was one for the record books’ SARRA MANNING ‘A world of small-town charm and irresistible romance’ LIZ TOMFORDE ‘The ideal balance of sweet and sexy’ MARIAN KEYES ‘As heartfelt as a Taylor Swift song and as cosy as a pumpkin spiced latte’ ZOË FOLBIGG From the author of Under Your Spell comes a funny, cosy small-town romance about an accidental Vegas marriage, two people forced to fake a relationship and a town determined to play matchmaker. Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Adams and Lynn Painter. What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas . . . Waking up in a Las Vegas hotel room with her brother’s best friend isn’t exactly rule-follower Ophelia ‘Lee’ Turner-Jones’ finest moment. She’s spent the past year trying to forget it ever happened, until a surprise email from a wedding chapel lands in her inbox. Now Lee has no choice but to track Nico down . . . and tell him they’re married. The last place she expects to find the man who has always lived on the wild side is a small Maine town full of lovable eccentrics. Breaking the news to him should be simple, but walking away proves impossible when she discovers that Nico needs a wife to save everything – and everyone – he holds dear. Agreeing to play the role of happily married couple is risky enough.

Still, Lee can't help but wonder if their fake relationship could finally be the start of something real.

'History at its most scintillating' Nicholas CraneRivers are the great natural arteries that run through our lives.We have navigated them, dammed them and worshipped at them. From the ancient ecosystems of Egypt to the sinking cities of Shanghai and London, what we do with our rivers tells us about who has power and what we value. Now, when a passion for wild swimming is flourishing but the Amazon is on fire and some of our major river systems are dying, it has never been clearer that rivers are intertwined with humanity at our best and our worst. Seven Rivers is story of the Nile, Danube, Niger, Mississippi, Ganges, Yangtze and the Thames. It is a story of imperial frontiers, alluvial gold, kidnappings, slavery, anticolonialism and creation myths. It is about those who've lived and died on these rivers and their endless capacity for invention: their lotus pools and hanging gardens, their gigantic canal systems and elaborate fishing rituals, their absolute powers and their sly rebellions. At its heart are the empire-builders of the Chinese dynasties, Romans and Hindus and their river gods, the Habsburgs and Ottomans, Mughal emperors, the people of the Niger from Mali's golden age to today, struggles of life and death on the Mississippi, and the dethroning of the British on the rivers of their unruly imperial subjects. This is the story of us, in seven rivers.
