How to Live
A vivid new translation in which the Stoic philosopher argues that virtue is the only path to contentmentWhy are so many people unhappy when happiness can be attained by anyone who simply lives virtuously? That question prompted Seneca, the great Stoic philosopher of the early Roman empire, to write On the Happy Life, and he continued to seek answers in his Moral Epistles. In How to Live, Seneca biographer and translator James Romm presents vivid new versions of passages from both works, distilling Seneca’s passionate and inspiring argument for a path to perfect contentment, no matter what befalls us. As a Stoic, Seneca believed that only ethical virtue leads to happiness; all other goals, including wealth and success, are neutral in their effects—or, if they torment us with what we haven’t achieved, sources of unhappiness. For role models, Seneca looks to Socrates, who embodied virtue and reason, and to a hypothetical sage who is always in tune with the divine mind that governs the cosmos. Extolling these paragons with nearly messianic fervor, Seneca urges us to imitate their example. Featuring an inviting introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Live captures the persuasive power of Seneca’s argument that the universe wants us to be virtuous—and happy.

Picturing Prince
PICTURING PRINCE sees the late icon's former art director, STEVE PARKE, revealing stunning intimate photographs of the singer from his time working at Paisley Park. At least half of the images in the book are exclusively published here for the first time; most other images in the book are rare to the public eye. Alongside these remarkable images are fifty engaging, poignant and often funny written vignettes by Parke, which reveal the very human man behind the reclusive superstar: from shooting hoops to renting out movie theatres at 4am; from midnight requests for camels to meaningful conversations that shed light on Prince as a man and artist. STEVE PARKE started working with Prince in 1988, after a mutual friend showed Prince some of Steve's photorealistic paintings. He designed everything from album covers and merchandise to sets for Prince's tours and videos. Somewhere in all of this, he became Paisley Park's official art director. He began photographing Prince at the request of the star himself, and continued to do so for the next several years. The images in this book are the arresting result of this collaboration.
Supergirl's Family Vacation
Supergirl s got big plans for summer break! Pre-teen Kara Zor-El is an excellent superhero. She always saves the day (and gets her homework in on time). But all anyone ever notices is her famous cousin Clark, who gets all the credit even though Kara s the one who captured Lex Luthor himself! Sigh. If only the people of Metropolis could see her greatness. Kara has an idea: summer s coming, and she wants to visit Argo, a floating city in space where the last survivors of Krypton live. These are her people, and, since Clark grew up on Earth, she can teach him a thing or two for once. It s the perfect plan! And it gets even better when Lois invites along Kara s best friend Natasha. But when their road trip through space is interrupted by an old friend of Clark s, the family gets diverted to a strange and beautiful planet with a dark secret that only Superman can save them from. Kara s plans get pushed aside. Again. What s a cranky pre-teen to do?
Inappropriable Force
In the aftermath of the global mass protests of the 2010s, democratic theorists have shown renewed interest in conceptualizing popular mobilization and "the people." A series of provocative works have theorized assembled crowds in the streets as sources of democratic authority, legitimacy, and sovereignty. These insightful accounts nevertheless often remain detached from the full range of the situated experiences of protesters. Inappropriable Force brings the concrete, on-the-ground practices of Turkey’s 2013 Gezi Uprising into the foreground of theoretical reflection,asking what people gathered in the streets shared, desired, or refused, and what their public experimentations with politics, language, and aesthetics made possible. Working from the empirical particularities of Gezi to political theory, the book theorizes protest as a political meaning-making enterprise that reconfigures everyday regimes of sense, speech, and engagement. Drawing on Gezi’s archives and engaging democratic and critical theorists such as Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, Walter Benjamin, Jacques Ranciere, Joan Copjec, and René Girard, the book identifies a surplus in protest irreducible to the categories of popular sovereignty, authorization, or legitimation. This surplus – an inappropriable force – can only be experienced in practice, through collective action. Not predicated on unified will or hegemonic claims to peoplehood, it unfolds in plural modes of thinking, sociality, affect, creativity, and imagination that emerge when people assemble out of doors. Adopting a practice-oriented and deparochializing approach, Inappropriable Force treats the political activities and cultural artifacts of the Gezi protests as texts of political theory in their own right. In doing so, it conceptualizes popular protest as a generative reservoir of political meaning and critical insight.

Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.

Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one.
Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she's been one of the 'unadoptable' girls at the town's orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.
When she meets Birdie, a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future.
But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister's charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose.
Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women.
But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences …
Árnyak tava
Az apja a város népszerű nyomozója volt… Az anyja pedig a leghírhedtebb bűnözője… Most viszont Mirror Lake titkai lassan a felszínre bukkannak, és mindent megváltoztatnak.
Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.

Nem elég, hogy az ügyben a volt feleségével, Annával kell viaskodnia, Jack egy sötét titkot is őriz: az áldozat a szeretője volt, ráadásul ő látta utoljára élve a nőt.
Kisvártatva pedig újabb gyilkosság történik. Ahogy a holttestek száma növekedni kezd a ködös angol faluban, Anna és Jack macska-egér játékba kezd egymással és a gyilkossal is. Mindketten gyanúsítottak, mindketten nyomoznak, és mindketten bármire képesek, hogy a saját igazságukat védjék, kerüljön az bármibe.
