The Children
Their childhood was yours. They want it back . . .
Guinevere's late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin's childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family.
Now estranged from her brother and her parents long dead after a devastating fire, strange events threaten the veneer of serenity and familial harmony Guin is keen to project. Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation - his first since a disastrous last show one year prior - simply entitled Mother. And Guin can't help but worry that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to blow her world apart.
Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting narrative of family secrets and long-held resentments, which asks whether we can ever really exorcise the ghosts of a childhood forsaken in favour of a parent's artistic vision.

Ultrazvukové vyšetření a léčba dětského kyčelního kloubu
Poslední monografie o ultrazvukovém vyšetření dětského kyčelního kloubu vyšla před téměř třiceti lety. Od té doby se sjednotil princip vyšetření a prevence vývojové dysplazie kyčelního kloubu, došlo k výraznému snížení rtg expozice u dětí a rovněž díky včasné diagnostice ke značnému snížení nutných operačních zákroků.
Léčba a prevence vrozených a vývojových vad kyčelního kloubu u dětí má v naší zemi dlouholetou tradici. Systém současných kontrol, tzv. systém trojího síta, je jedním z nejpropracovanějších metodických pokynů a stává se vzorem pro mnoho dalších zemí. Došlo rovněž k úpravě věstníku — metodického pokynu vyšetřování dětských kyčelních kloubů – která v sobě zahrnuje nutnost ultrazvukového vyšetření kyčlí a podstatně omezuje dosud používaný systém rtg kontrol.
Snahou autorů je zavést jednotný systém vyšetření, klasifikace a návazné léčby vývojové dysplazie kyčelního kloubu (VDK). V nové monografii je uvedena také taktika léčby VDK dle celosvětových trendů a kapitola o vyšetření výpotku kyčelního kloubu. Publikace umožní správnou orientaci při vyšetření ultrazvukovou technikou a přispěje k časné detekci a adekvátní léčbě vývojových a vrozených vad kyčelního kloubu.
Publikace by měla sjednotit prevenci a detekci VDK – vyšetření u pediatra, ortopeda i na sonografických a rtg pracovištích.

'An extraordinary novel! Full of unexpected love, magic, heartbreak and healing' - Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
The Dread Sorceress Oneira has retired. She's exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions - a near-mythical wolf, a goddess's avatar and a feline that embodies magic itself - Oneira realizes that she's bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.
When she recklessly steals a book from him, Oneira inadvertently initiates a forbidden correspondence. Taunting notes and clever retorts reveal a connection neither has found - nor could ever find - in any other.
But Oneira soon learns that Stearanos, bound to a vile king, is tasked with waging war on the queen she once served. A relationship with him is far too dangerous to pursue despite their mutual desire - and yet, Oneira can't seem to stay away. A bond with Stearanos could alight the long-extinct flame of life within her . . . or it could destroy her entirely.

Alan Opts Out
After successful ad exec Alan Anderson bombs the biggest pitch of his career, he has an epiphany. His entire career has been about making people buy stuff that they don't need so they feel perpetually unsatisfied and less-than. After a lifetime of striving for capitalism, Alan is opting out.
He retires to the ridiculously extravagant playhouse in his family's suburban Connecticut garden (a classic example of something the Andersons didn't need), gives up showering, shoe-wearing, and purchases of all kinds. He might even read a book! This is all very upsetting for his wife Vivian, who is on the verge of being accepted into the insanely elite Queen's Anne Club - guaranteed to make all her insecurities disappear and her children popular.
But maybe everyone will want to buy what Alan's not selling? And, in losing his ambition, might he find what we're all looking for?
For anyone who has ever cared more about how it looked than how it felt, ALAN OPTS OUT is a hilarious take on consumerism, capitalism and wellness.
