The Adverse Effects and Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Medicines
A guide to informed and responsible psychedelic use• Draws on current research, interviews, and case studies to detail the risks and benefits of psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and mescaline• Explores the short- and long-term effects of psychedelics, looking at heart rate, blood pressure, and markers of mental health• Includes in-depth profiles of psychedelics, considering their chemical composition, effects, safety considerations, and legal statusThe psychedelic renaissance has been opening new therapeutic modalities in Western medicine. With the potential to reduce our reliance on pharmaceuticals and improve overall well-being, the use of psychedelics has yielded promising results. However, the increased acceptance and use of these age-old medicines should also be approached with caution and full awareness. Clinical psychologist Richard Louis Miller provides a balanced analysis of the risks and benefits of psychedelics to ensure their responsible use. He comprehensively details the rewards and potential complications of substances like LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, DMT, MDMA, and ketamine to provide thorough risk profiles and a working guide for psychedelic-informed therapy. Drawing on the latest research, interviews with practitioners, and case studies, Dr. Miller considers physiological effects like nausea, altered heart rate, and blood pressure changes, along with mental effects such as anxiety, reality distortion, and mood disorders often associated with a bad trip. He also includes an extensive, in-depth Psychedelic Clinical Profiles guide to the 13 most commonly used psychedelic substances, detailing their chemical composition, safety considerations, and legal status. As psychedelics become more accepted as medicines, it is important that we become fully knowledgeable about their effects. By revealing the benefits and risks, this book is a key resource in the ethical and responsible use of psychedelics.

While the runes have been used as letters in Norse writing systems, they also hold deeper significance as symbols of the mysteries and tools of divinatory and magical practice. Séléné explores Norse mythology to trace the physical origins of the runes as well as their mystical and secret nature. Drawing upon the “Hávamál” and Eddas, she invokes the Aesir and Vanir deities with the runes, allowing them to interact in revealing ways. Each card, illustrated by Thyonesca, represents either a rune or a god. The guidebook provides interpretations for each card while contextualizing the rune or god within its mythological and magical setting. The author gives divinatory meanings for each card with specific focus on the reader’s relationships and career. The author also gives instructions for performing rituals that allow readers to connect with the power of each rune or deity and employ its magic. While the runecaster may develop their own way to consult the cards, Séléné provides a number of possible spreads, including a single-card draw, the Spread of the Three Norns, and the Ingwaz Spread.

Ninety years and still counting...'Amanda Barrie, the iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, was born in 1935, above her grandfather's tailor's shop in Ashton Under Lyne, during a ferocious thunderstorm. And ever since her journey through life has been a stormy one. This book will tell the whole story for the first time, from her expulsion from two schools and running away from home aged 13 to be a Soho showgirl, to rising from the chorus to star in the West End, to Carry On Cabby and Carry On Cleo, to Corrie, Bad Girls and more. Amanda has become something of a national treasure, entertaining us all, whilst not hesitating to speak up for herself and others on national television, including on celebrity editions of Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother. Having performed in her teenage years alongside fellow national icon Barbara Windsor, Amanda's life has in many ways followed a similar trajectory to become a huge household name.

Packed with anecdotes and memories of her nine decades on stage and screen, she will share the moments that came to define her life. She will fully explore her struggle to come to terms with who she was, relating in painful detail the traumas faced by a young gay woman in the 1950s and early 60s. She will explain why she kept that side of her a secret for most of her adult life, and how she feared that she would lose her job and her home if the truth became known. For the first time, she will tell the full story of how she met her wife, novelist Hilary Bonner, fell in love, overcame all manner of difficulties, and built a new life together.

Phantom At The Feast
Police stations are outdated, and AI’s make more efficient detectives, or so says a UK Home Office determined to make cuts. When the sole witness in a trafficking case is discovered brutally murdered, a brass horseshoe forced between his teeth, Detective Sergeant Rex King is summoned back to London and into a labyrinth of memory, music, and political unrest. From The Clash’s ragged 1985 busking tour to the fractured legacy of the anti-nuclear movement, Rex follows threads that tug uncomfortably at his own history – echoes he can’t quite place, shadows that refuse to settle. When Rex’s boss, DCI 'Lollo' Lawrence, suddenly disappears, and long-buried papers from the Miners’ Strike surface, he must work alongside a sharp young detective, a seasoned former soul boy, and the National Crime Agency’s unsettlingly brilliant new AI. Yet the deeper he travels, the more he finds the investigation folding back on him: professional loyalties strained, personal relationships tested, and accusations from his undercover past threatening to unmake him. Two murders, one 'misper' and a force under fire – has former ‘spycop’ DS Rex King finally met his match?

Using the time away from the office to consider his future, and how this will impact on his family life, Tom is invited to attend a school reunion which he reluctantly agrees to.

It isn't long before Tom finds old feuds rekindled and scores that aim to be settled... one way or another. Finding himself at the centre of a murder inquiry - only this time as a witness rather than an investigator - can he steer clear of the case or will temptation, and a search for the truth, be too much for him to ignore.

Vlčí kráľ
Zakázaná príťažlivosť, krvavá vojna a vlčí kráľ, ktorému nemožno odolať.
Princezná Aurora nikdy netúžila po korune ani po politickom sobáši. Túžila po slobode.
V predvečer svadby však urobí rozhodnutie, ktoré zmení osud celého kráľovstva – zachráni mladého vlkolaka odsúdeného na smrť v aréne, kde sa ľudia zabávajú krvavými zápasmi zajatých vlkov. Tým na seba upriami pozornosť samotného alfu, obávaného vodcu svorky, ktorý ju ešte v tú noc unesie.
Aurora sa ocitá v drsných severných krajoch medzi vlkolakmi, ktorých ju od detstva učili nenávidieť. Znepriatelené svorky sa spájajú a vojna medzi ľuďmi a vlkmi je na spadnutie. Alfa je presvedčený, že princezná je kľúčom k víťazstvu.
Lenže čím viac času spolu trávia, tým ťažšie je predstierať, že sú nepriatelia. Kým sa na oboch stranách bojiska schyľuje ku krvavému stretu, medzi princeznou a vlčím kráľom sa rodí zakázaná príťažlivosť.
Vlčí kráľ je prvá časť série, ktorá pobláznila BookTok – temná romantasy plná napätia a vášne pre fanúšikov vlkolakov (v kiltoch), silných hrdiniek a príbehov, kde hranica medzi nenávisťou a túžbou je tenšia než ostrie meča.

Jedno čarovné leto
Nikdy by mi nenapadlo, že mi do života vstúpi Charlie Florek.
Pri jazere sa dejú dobré veci. Presne to tvrdí Alicina babka a má pravdu. Alice tam vo svojich sedemnástich strávila len jedno jediné leto, práve tam však urobila slávnu fotografi u troch usmievajúcich sa tínedžerov v žltom motorovom člne. Bol to záber, ktorý jej navždy zmenil život.
Dnes Alice prežíva svoj život skrytá za objektívom. Ako fotografka sa cíti najlepšie v úzadí, odkiaľ necháva zažiariť iných. V poslednom čase ju to však ťahá k niečomu väčšiemu, a keď babka spadne a zlomí si bedrový kĺb, Alice vymyslí plán: strávia spolu ďalšie leto na tom magickom mieste, v Barry’s Bay. Len čo sa však zabývajú, ich pokoj naruší burácanie známeho žltého člna a muž, ktorý ho riadi.
Charlie Florek mal devätnásť, keď ho Alice z diaľky odfotila. Dnes je z neho dospelý muž – nehanebný zvodca, ktorý dokáže rozosmiať babku a v Alice vzbudiť túžbu vrátiť sa do čias, keď mala sedemnásť. Do obdobia, keď bol život jednoduchší a fotenie bola len čistá zábava. Slnkom zaliate dni a teplé večery pri jazere s Charliem pôsobia na Alicinu dušu ako balzam, no keď zdvihne zrak a zistí, že jeho prenikavý zelený pohľad spočíva priamo na nej, začne sa báť o svoje srdce.
Alice totiž dokáže skutočne odhadnúť ľudí – práve preto je vo svojej práci taká vynikajúca –, no ešte nikdy nestretla niekoho, kto by sa pozrel na ňu a videl ju presne takú, aká je.
