Liar's Kingdom
"The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, including Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.

Basic Equality
An innovative argument that vindicates our normative commitment to basic equality, synthesising philosophy, history, and psychologyWhat makes human beings one another’s equals? That we are "basic equals" has become a bedrock assumption in Western moral and political philosophy. And yet establishing why we ought to believe this claim has proved fiendishly difficult, floundering in the face of the many inequalities that characterise the human condition. In this provocative work, Paul Sagar offers a novel approach to explaining and justifying basic equality. Rather than attempting to find an independent foundation for basic equality, he argues, we should instead come to see our commitment to this idea as the result of the practice of treating others as equals. Moreover, he continues, it is not enough to grapple with the problem through philosophy alone—by just thinking very hard, in our armchairs; we must draw insights from history and psychology as well. Sagar writes that, as things stand, there appear to be no good arguments for believing in the truth of basic equality. Indeed, for much of Western intellectual history and social practice, basic inequality has been the default position. How is it then, Sagar asks, that in Western societies, in a period of less than a century, basic equality emerged as the dominant view? Sagar approaches this not as a mere philosophical puzzle, but as a dramatic historical development. In so doing, he shows us what is at stake when human beings treat one another as equals just because they are human beings.

I was never meant to be queen. I was an Ashlander who broke into a palace searching for her sister. Now I stand beside the Legends of Chaos, holding power the kingdom fears and love fierce enough to burn it all down. To win the crowns, we'll have to survive the Kings' List. Failure isn't an option. Because this time, we're not just fighting for the throne - we're fighting for each other.

Dead Bees Still Sting
For readers of Raising Hare and How to Catch a Mole comes a poetic exploration of life at the precarious edge of nature and human settlement. “I loved every gorgeously-written and surprising page.”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus“Come for the bees, stay for these beautifully written observations.”—Booklist, STARRED reviewOn a small acreage teeming with wild and domestic animals, buzzing with a half-million honeybees, and dotted with fruit trees—including one affectionately named Bill—lives beekeeper-poet Susan Cormier. Circling the farm, an aggressive tangle of forest and blackberry vines thrives, but beyond, the shadow of urban development creeps ever closer. Over five seasons Cormier takes readers through the rhythms of semi-agricultural life, reflecting on the dichotomy between beauty and grief, loss and renewal, and humor and the often heart-wrenching realities of animal existence in an agrarian landscape. Susan’s acreage is filled with an ever-changing cast of animals, from the hand-raised quail Birb, who likes to play peekaboo, to companionable cats and dogs, Frodo the rescued rabbit, deer, elusive mink, and owls. Dead Bees Still Sting also offers a rich education in beekeeping, guiding readers through the complexities of hive life, the art of capturing swarms, and the serious challenges facing bees today. Lyrical and poignant, Dead Bees Still Sting is a moving meditation on the cycles of nature, vulnerability, persistence, and survival. Above all, it is a celebration of what it means to belong to a place, to witness its changes, and to find beauty and meaning in the ongoing conversation between humans and nature.

Venice and the Mongols
A global history of commercial and cultural exchange between two great powers of the medieval ageIn the mid-thirteenth century, Europe was shaken by the Mongol invasions. Realizing the immense potential for accessing remote markets in the East, Venetian merchants, diplomats, and seafarers established far-flung commercial networks with the Mongol Empire. Venice and the Mongols tells the story of this dynamic new era in world history, one that saw one of the most advanced maritime powers of the age bridge East and West in a new global marketplace created by the Mongol conquests. In a panoramic narrative spanning nearly two centuries, Nicola Di Cosmo and Lorenzo Pubblici describe how Mongolian support of European merchants allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas across their vast empire, and how cooperation with the khans enabled the Venetian city-state to trade safely, grow its influence, and expand its territory eastward while opening Europe to new markets. Di Cosmo and Pubblici shed light on trade practices, legal structures, and cultural relations, and share new perspectives on Marco Polo’s travels in Mongol-controlled territories. They examine Venetian strategies in the face of Mongol and Genoese rivalry and show how the city-state adapted to the challenges posed by the decline of Mongol authority and the ascendance of the Ottomans in the latter half of the fourteenth century. Blending vivid storytelling with rich archival research, Venice and the Mongols challenges conventional perspectives on the Mongols as mere agents of destruction and shows how Venice ushered in a new era of commerce and diplomacy in an interconnected medieval world.

Fák
Mit tanítanak nekünk a fák?
Kóda Aja már gyerekkorában felismerte, hogy egy fa több puszta szépségnél. Amikor édesapjától facsemetét kapott ajándékba, megtanulta: éppannyira rá vagyunk utalva a fákra, mint ők miránk. Jelzik az idő múlását, megtisztítják a levegőt, megújítják a földet – a jövőjükért viszont nekünk kell felelősséget vállalnunk. Kóda Japánt járva földcsuszamlásokat lát, favágókkal és hamuba hulló erdőkkel, friss csemetékkel és ősi, megzabolázhatatlan gyökerekkel találkozik. Útja során felismeri, hogy minden fa – legyen bár cseresznye-, hinoki, ezo luc, juhar vagy ciprus – saját, külön történetet hordoz. Ebben az időtlen, modern klasszikusban Kóda emlékeztet bennünket arra, hogy a fák tükröt tartanak nekünk: megmutatják, kik vagyunk, és mit hagyunk magunk után.
„Vízben úszott az egész erdő – kivéve ezt, az öreg fatest közepét, amit szárazon, melegen tartottak a fiatal fa gyökerei. Nem is olyan egyszerű, ébredtem rá, hogy az öreg fa halott, a fiatal pedig él. Nem érdemes fennakadnunk az élet és a halál kapcsolatán vagy körforgásuk kegyetlenségén. Mindkettő csupán egy pillanat az időben – és micsoda szerencse, hogy ezt a pillanatot, ezt a melegséget nem mulasztottam el!”
A magyar tenger kalózai
Alvilág és felvilág a Balaton partján
Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Addig kóstolgatták egymást a kishalak, amíg a nagyhal befalt mindent...
A Balaton nekünk a lángos, a romantikus naplemente, a zajos családi nyaralás.
De mi történik, miután lemegy a nap?
2025 őszén a rendőrség elfogta egy huszonnyolc évvel korábbi robbantásos merénylet gyanúsítottjait. Az 1997 nyarán meggyilkolt férfi a balatoni éjszakai élet ismert figurája volt. Terepjárója éppen Balatonalmádi felé tartott, amikor felrobbant a férfi alatt. A detonáció nemcsak egy embert ölt meg - egy korszak kapuját is berúgta.
Innen indul Dezső András új kötete.
A Maffiózók mackónadrágban, a Magyar kóla, a Fedősztori és a Nagyfőnök című bestsellerek szerzője most a Balaton sötét oldalát tárja fel. Bemutatja az egymással rivalizáló legendás siófoki szórakozóhelyeket, a diszkók világát, ahol a kidobóemberek osztották a törvényt és a hírhedt veszprémi alvilágot, ami a főváros legveszedelmesebb gengsztereit szolgálta ki. Az eldobott kézigránátok, védelmi pénzek, a megtorlást hozó árulások földjét. Piti bűnözők és nagypályás maffiózók, kalandorok és szélhámosok, akik a tóparton próbáltak birodalmat építeni - néha szó szerint a semmiből.
Hiszen a Balaton nem csak a pihenni vágyók és az ügyeskedők paradicsoma volt. A vadkelet éveiben erős és befolyásos figurák keresztezték egymás útját, miközben ugyanaz a cél vezette őket: meghódítani a tavat. És mire a szivarfüst eloszlott, a diszkófények kihunytak, a régi maffiózók mackónadrágot húztak, a helyükre egy új elit lépett, akik visszautasíthatatlan ajánlatokkal, házilag írt törvényekkel terjeszkednek, a tét pedig már milliárdokban mérhető.
Ez a könyv a magyar tengerért vívott hol zajos, hol csendes harc igaz története.
