You’ve Changed
We live in an age obsessed with reinvention. But what does it really mean to change – and why do some transformations inspire us while others make us bristle?
New York Times journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis’s thought-provoking investigation takes us inside the lives of people who’ve changed themselves, or say they have: from political converts to a seemingly transformed murderer and a bully-turned-Buddhist. Through their stories and his own, he explores how identity, belief, and belonging shift despite the certainties we often cling to. Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists and spiritual teachers,
You’ve Changed shows how self-reinvention is more often self-discovery, and why personal change is like a team sport – revealing the compassionate truth at the heart of our deepest hopes and fears.

A crime novelist reunites with old college friends to solve a decades-old murder in a riveting novel of psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Falls to Pieces. Crime writer Gregg Dryer returns to his Pennsylvania campus for Homecoming weekend to revisit the death of his girlfriend Jess. During their freshman year, everyone assumed she took her own life when she fell from the roof of D’Amelio Hall—everyone except Gregg. After thirty years of struggling with grief, guilt, and personal demons, Gregg still has his doubts about how and why Jess really died that night. His search for answers is also a chance to reconnect with four friends from his college class. Most of them have moved on from that terrible tragedy. Not Gregg. Nor Jess’s mother, who is convinced to this day that her daughter was murdered. As Gregg’s investigation leads deeper into a past he doesn’t recognize, the trail grows darker and more dangerous with each new revelation. As a reunion among old friends becomes one of secrets and suspicions, Gregg must confront his own troubled history—and a truth with which he may not be able to live.

My Morandi
The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi's work.
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.
My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani's memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi's paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist's aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi's work at Magnani's villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani's personal collection of Morandi's work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.

Odvážní ve víře
Bible nám stále říká, že tento svět není naším domovem. Dlouhou dobu se však zdálo, že by jím být mohl. Naše kultura se ale mění – a začínáme si ve vlastní zemi připadat jako cizinci. Jsme v pokušení hněvat se, sklopit hlavu nebo to prostě vzdát.
Není to však poprvé, kdy Boží lid musí přijít na to, jak žít s důvěrou a vírou v prostředí, které se staví proti Božím cestám a proti Božímu slovu. Už jsme to dokázali dříve a můžeme to dokázat i dnes.
Alistair Begg nás se svou charakteristickou jasností, vhledem a vřelostí uvádí do doby proroka Daniela. Nevyzývá nás k tomu, abychom byli jako Daniel, ale spíše abychom důvěřovali Danielovu Bohu. Víme, že jsme spaseni vírou. Teď je čas naučit se být odvážní ve víře.
Alistair Begg je hlavním pastorem v Parkside Church v Clevelandu ve státě Ohio a učitelem Bible ve službě rozhlasového a on-line vysílání Truth For Life.

Plays Well with Others
Dating lessons from my American football-playing best friend? Sign me up!
At the glittery break-up party she throws for herself, Rachel Dumont envisions lifting a glass to celebrate being free and single again. What she actually does: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to her best guy friend that she'd really like to get back on the horse. She doesn't expect Carter Hendrix's answer to be to volunteer himself.
With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body, it'd be no hardship for Rachel to say yes, though she certainly doesn't want him to feel obligated to, um, service her just because her failed, loveless marriage was an s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident professional American football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, Rachel and Carter make a deal to help each other out.
Pretty soon, the public how-to-date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And Rachel's a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing.
Can Rachel and Carter's friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since she's suddenly longing for her best friend, and there's nothing fake about her feelings…
Fast Lane
He's the campus bad boy.
She's his neighbour's ex.
Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea?
Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached.
So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids - yet somehow impossible to ignore.
That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls.
Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by.
Pick this up if you love: opposites attract, frenemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, forced promixity, found family.

The Radiant Dark
It's March 1980, and Carol Girard and her husband are living an ordinary life in a small town in the Adirondacks. They have just had their first child, and though Carol is struggling with the challenges of new motherhood, her future seems clear. Until something extraordinary happens: an inexplicable flickering of light in the sky, which is ultimately determined to be communication from intelligent life on another planet. But these beings are eleven light-years away, and nothing is known about them other than the fact that they seem to know we exist too. And so begins a decades-long exchange of messages with this mysterious, faraway civilization.
As humanity reels from a shifting understanding of its place in the universe, we follow the stories of the Girard family: Carol, whose fascination with this other life sparks a desperate search for spiritual meaning; Michael, her loyal son, who finds solace not in the stars above his head but in the ground beneath his feet; and Ro, Carol's bright and ambitious daughter, whose childhood goal to work in interstellar communication will evolve into something far grander. Tracing five decades of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, The Radiant Dark is a stunning examination of a family navigating their lives with the knowledge that we are not alone.

Anatomie trpící duše
Moderní psychiatrie bývá spojována se jmény, jako jsou Sigmund Freud či Emil Kraepelin. Než se však psychiatrie stala univerzitní disciplínou a získala podobu vědy, jak ji známe dnes, prošla dlouhým obdobím hledání, experimentů i institucionálních proměn. Právě do této málo známé fáze vývoje, kdy se rodily první instituce určené pro péči o duševně nemocné a kdy se teprve utvářely základy moderní psychiatrie, se vrací tato kniha.
Publikace přináší první komplexní zpracování počátků psychiatrické péče v českých zemích mezi koncem 18. a 80. lety 19. století. Sleduje vznik a proměny raných „blázinců“, jejich organizaci, pacienty i lékaře, kteří stáli u zrodu nového oboru. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje pražskému zemskému ústavu, jeho filiálkám v Čechách i prvním moravským zařízením, stejně jako širším souvislostem vývoje psychiatrie v rámci habsburské monarchie a střední Evropy.
Kniha zasazuje dějiny rané psychiatrie do širších kulturních, sociálních a politických souvislostí. Ukazuje, jak se proměňovalo chápání duševní nemoci, jak vznikaly první klasifikace psychických poruch a jak se formoval nový odborný jazyk i instituce, které měly „šílenství“ diagnostikovat, léčit a zároveň kontrolovat. Na základě rozsáhlého archivního výzkumu tak přináší nový pohled na období, kdy se v českých zemích rodily základy moderní psychiatrické péče.
The Four Heavens
From the world-leading expert on the Maya, a monumental history of a flourishing civilization across three millenniaThe Four Heavens brings to life the cultural and visual splendor of the ancient Maya, drawing on the oldest indigenous texts of the Americas and the latest archaeological discoveries to present an entirely new history of this spectacular civilization. Renowned historian and archaeologist David Stuart, who has made groundbreaking contributions to the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics, shows how there was no single rise and fall of the Maya but a series of births and collapses over a breathtaking span of nearly three millennia. Maya history was seemingly lost forever when the first Europeans encountered the great ruins of ancient cities in what is today Mexico and Central America. Today, with the recent decipherment of their ancient writings, the story of the Maya can now be told from their perspective. Stuart traces the rapid emergence of permanent settlements in the rainforest, which gave rise to monumental architecture and a flourishing urbanism and ushered in the Classic period of Maya civilization beginning in the mid-second century CE. He reveals a world of majestic royal courts tightly bound together by marriages, shifting alliances, and warfare, much of it driven by the ambitions of two major dynasties, the Kanuls and Mutuls. Stuart describes how the long-standing rivalry between these two great houses shaped the fates of the surrounding kingdoms and may have set the stage for “the Great Rupture” of the ninth century, when the royal courts buckled under the weight of internal strife, social unrest, and environmental crisis, transforming Maya civilization yet again. With stunning illustrations, including many of Stuart’s own drawings and images, The Four Heavens is a work of momentous historical sweep, one that paints an unforgettable portrait of the Maya and the richly complex social, political, and cosmological worlds in which they lived.
