The Future in our Past
The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class. This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.
The Mineral Reset
From the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, a guide to the importance of mineral replenishment for optimal health and how to restore the minerals your body needs to function at its best. Minerals are the substrate of literally everything in the galaxy, even the universe. They are the building blocks and fuel, for all cellular life. Without minerals life would cease to exist and in fact, our own bodies would stop functioning, within hours. It’s amazing that the most basic understanding of something so fundamental to life is not taught, or even thought much about by even the most educated doctors and practitioners. You wouldn’t own a car if you didn’t know the basics of how to fill up the gas tank, or what to fill it with. But here we are, living in our bodies daily, mostly unaware that we have no idea how our body’s energy systems work and how to replenish them effectively. So, we struggle, with weight, inflammation, sleep, cravings, brain fog, low energy and a general feeling that “something is missing”. There is something missing: minerals! Minerals, and how they contribute to health, is widely misunderstood, resulting in misinformation and products that confuse people and ultimately cause more problems than they solve. Understanding some simple facts about how minerals operate in the body and how a person can easily and effectively replenish their body’s mineral stores, can be a game changer for anyone experiencing chronic issues related to physical, mental, emotional and energetic health. This book is about the human body as a holistic ecosystem made of cells and an introduction into minerals as a cornerstone of cellular ecosystem health. Told through story, metaphors, visual descriptions and simple language, this book makes a complex subject accessible. This book is written for anyone who recognizes in themselves that hidden hunger (that sense that something is missing), or seeks answers to why they are struggling to thrive.
The Pretenders
Three couples. Two exes. One day of reckoning. Jasper’s brother Edmund has never been exciting, but he is reliable and always there for his little brother, no matter what. It’s only natural that the day after their engagement, Jasper and bride-to-be Holly decide to surprise Edmund with a celebratory visit. John, Jasper’s fun loving and devoted best friend, comes along. Of course he wouldn’t think of missing such an occasion. Anne joins them, because she’s John’s wife and Jasper is a huge part of her life. Edmund and Ovidia aren’t expecting visitors, but they can’t exactly say no when Jasper and the others walk into their London mansion one Saturday morning in spring. Ovidia is not supposed to be there. Perhaps Edmund is not as reliable as Jasper believed. Maybe John doesn’t know everything about his best friend. Today they will all have to face the consequences of the lies they’ve told themselves.
The Prison Project
As a young, novice dance teacher, Aimee Friel’s first full-time job took an unexpected turn when she was asked to teach regular dance classes for young offenders at a Scottish prison. Many of her students were her own age, but their worlds couldn’t have been more different. Thrown into chaotic classes filled with cringeworthy chat-up lines, cheeky Glaswegian banter, and hilarious dad-dancing, Aimee embarked on a journey of growth alongside the young men in her classes. She faced challenges including impromptu drum sessions, a stolen safety alarm and the harsh realities of trauma, toxic masculinity and stigma. As trust built, so did transformation. Through comedic tea breaks, some difficult conversations and unexpected choreography, Aimee was drawn to the deeper roots of incarceration – from adverse childhood experiences to homelessness and substance misuse. Interwoven with personal reflection, including her own family’s struggle with addiction and trauma, The Prison Project challenges perceptions and asks what it really takes to make a difference in the lives of young people.

An Accident of Dragons: Deluxe Stenciled Edges
An unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can't flirt his way out of in this adventurous and slyly light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates, dragons, kidnapping, tea, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne, TJ Klune, Sarah Beth Durst, and Travis Baldree.
Deluxe Limited Edition Paperback with Stenciled Edges!
In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes.
Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show.

The White Cat´s Divine Scratching Post, Vol. 2
THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG
Knowing that his beautiful master, Qingtong, is actually the spirit cat he pampered in his previous life, Mo Tianliao wants to get back to doting on his precious kitty! Oh, to be brushing his lovely hair, feeding him delicious treats, spoiling him all over again, and maybe even...a kiss or two? No? Claws to the face instead? Well, that's fine. After all, the most essential thing is healing the damage to Qingtong's divine soul, and that won't be as simple as providing tender loving care.
To help his master, Mo Tianliao needs an elixir made from the rare Jadefruit, which only grows on a single tree. A tree that just so happens to be the property of a rival cultivation sect, one that views spirit beasts like Qingtong as valuable commodities to be bought and sold.
With his unmatched mastery of artifacts and arrays, Mo Tianliao may be able to steal the priceless fruit with his skills alone. But, as they infiltrate the Liuyun Sect, he and Qingtong risk revealing their own sect's greatest secret: that all its highest-ranked cultivators are actually spirit beasts in human form!

Dcera
Toxické dětství ji naučilo pochybovat o vlastním úsudku – a on toho dokonale využil. Láska se změnila v kontrolu, jistota ve strach a realita v jeho verzi pravdy. Když se pak kruh násilí uzavírá, Klára zjistí, že jediná cesta ven vede skrz temnotu.

Dostává se do kolotoče domácího násilí, které začíná velmi nenápadně, ale o to drtivější má dopady. Klára neví, jak z toho ven – nemá prostředky, zázemí ani přátele, o které by se mohla opřít. Jejím jediným blízkým člověkem je narcistický manipulátor Štěpán. Když ovšem za dramatických okolností přichází o nenarozené miminko, celý její život nabere nové obrátky. Mladá žena se rozhodne pomstít nejen smrt očekávané dcerušky, ale vyřídit si účty se všemi, kdo jí v minulých letech ublížili - včetně své matky. Rozbíhá se thrillerový kolotoč událostí s krvelačným potenciálem, který může pro nejednoho aktéra skončit tragicky. Klára však nevidí, že se skrze své plány dostává na hranu zákona.

Manchester must dance
From Manchester’s backstreets to global dancefloors – the untold story of a musical pioneer. Beginning on the night in November 1963 when his mum took him to see the Beatles live at Manchester’s ABC Cinema, Mike Pickering takes the reader through sixty years of clubs, clothes, gigs, record labels, football matches and politics. Pickering has lived through decades of rapid change in popular music. As an influential DJ he introduced house music into the legendary Haçienda. He signed Happy Mondays and James to Factory Records before working with Kasabian, Gossip and Calvin Harris at Sony. His Mercury Prize-winning, multi-million-selling group M People transformed the music industry's attitude to dance music. As he tells his remarkable story he introduces an array of friends and collaborators, many of whom would become important – and sometimes notorious – figures in music history. Manchester must dance is a revelatory insider’s account that moves from the cramped back streets of 1950s north Manchester on a journey deep into music, the city and the wider world. It features forewords from some of those Pickering inspired: Martin Fry, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher and Calvin Harris. -- .
