All Rhodes Lead Here - Minden út hozzád vezet
Egy kisváros a hegyekben. Egy második esély. Egy szerelem, ami hazavezet. Aurora De La Torre pontosan tudja, hogy nem lesz egyszerű visszaköltözni a coloradói Pagosa Springsbe. Valaha ez volt az otthona, most azonban édesanyja elvesztésének fájó emlékét őrzi. Mindent újrakezdeni enélkül sem lenne egyszerű feladat. De miután hosszú idő után szakított híres zenész pasijával, egy hegyi kisváros tökéletes menedék lehet összetört szívének. És talán a szomszédban lakó vonzó főbérlője látványa is segíthet a gyógyulásban. Csakhogy nem is Tobias Rhodes adta ki neki a lakást, hanem a kamasz fia, Amos. Rhodes mogorva, zárkózott férfi, aki vérmesen óvja a családját, és nem bízik az idegenekben, így kezdetben igyekszik távol tartani magától a mindig derűs Orát. Ám a közös erdei túrák és kandalló melletti hosszú beszélgetések lassan lebontják a falakat köztük – és szoros barátságuk hamarosan életre szóló szerelemmé mélyül. A slow burn romantikus könyvek királynője, Mariana Zapata újdonsága arról mesél, hogyan talál rá az ember a szerelemre a legváratlanabb pillanatban…

Luxusní klec
Prodat své panenství?
Ten nápad mě zaujal už ve chvíli, kdy jsem četla o Američance, která to udělala. Získala svobodu, peníze i jistotu. Tak proč bych nemohla i já? Chudá holka přece nemá co ztratit. Jenže nabídka, která mi přistála v emailu, nebyla obyčejná. Zalíbila jsem se bohatému šejkovi – a on je zvyklý dostat všechno, co chce.
Neomezený luxus, opulentní svět Orientu a přepych, jaký si neumím ani představit… Stačí jen trocha lásky. Nebo spíš poslušnosti?

The Birth of British Special Forces
This study reveals how the Household Division became the driving force behind Britain's special forces during the Second World War. Drawing on primary sources, Charles Trumpess traces the transformation from parade ground to battlefield, showing how Guards officers like Robert Laycock, David Stirling, and Frederick Browning leveraged social connections to create the Commandos, LRDG, SAS, and Parachute Regiment. Through character portraits, the book follows the evolution from No. 8 (Guards) Commando to modern G Squadron, 22 SAS. It reveals how Caterham's punishing training produced the self-reliance essential for special operations, how White's Club became an unofficial recruiting centre, and why the ‘old boys' network’ proved crucial to wartime innovation.
Ugly Animals
Mother Nature’s more aesthetically challenged children have been neglected for too long. The plight of the panda is known the world over because of its teddy-like good looks, but most species are not so lucky. This book, however, aims to shine a light on some of the many ignored and unloved wonders of the animal kingdom. Their hideousness hides their incredible biology and means that we may not have noticed that they need our help. It is time to celebrate the Ugly Animals.
Searoad
Searoad is a sandy track that runs between the town of Klatsand and the rugged Oregon coast.
Across this stretch, locals with roots in the town overlap with visitors staying in its run-down motels: a man questions his wife's desire to be a poet; a summering librarian indulges in an affair; a waitress recalls the shooting of her teenage daughter by her own husband. And always, women walk on the long, long beach.
And as the narrative shifts from the horizontal present to the vertical past, a four-generation chain of mothers and daughters reaches back to Klatsand's beginnings - and forward to its future.
In Searoad, trailblazing feminist author Ursula K. Le Guin paints a vivid and powerfully evocative portrait of a small community built over the course of a century.
Soviet Scientific Institutes
These photographs of once top-secret institutes reveal both fantastical and futuristic technology, alongside crumbling and decrepit facilities, forming a unique document of the condition and situation of scientific research in the post-Soviet landscape.
In Soviet Scientific Institutes photographer Eric Lusito takes us on a journey through time, space and science. Gigantic control panels, monumental telescopes, inexplicable machinery - the facilities he documents might be found in comic book and graphic novel fantasies or the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But why were these institutes built and what purposes do they serve today?
The Soviets promoted science as a utopian ideal to replace religion and rapidly modernise the country. 'Big science' projects, primarily for Cold War military purposes, involved thousands of researchers working in complete secrecy.
In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many institutes were left destitute, their sophisticated technology condemned to extinction. But some scientists persevered, adapting to the new landscape. Today, defying the odds, they persist - even in wartime - to continue their work.
Lusito gained unique access to sites across former republics and satellites of the USSR - from a cosmic ray research centre in the remote Armenian mountains, to one of the world's largest radars located in Ukraine, which locals believed to be a climate-altering weapon.
The first visual account of this once closed world, this awe-inspiring publication bears witness to our never-ending quest for knowledge.

Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior
The visual dialogue between two maitre couturiers featuring the best creations of Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior
It was in Tunisia, when he was still a teenager, that the young Ala?a first discovered the creations of Christian Dior through fashion magazines made available to him by Madame Pinault. In 1956, on his arrival in Paris, he undertook a brief four-day internship with the great couturier, whom he had always admired. During this time, he immersed himself in the unique atmosphere of a fashion house, observed the work of the head of the atelier, and witnessed the creation of a collection... This seminal experience would be spoken of with emotion for many years to come.
The book Azzedine Alaia and Christian Dior: Two Masters of Couture offers a dialogue between Azzedine Alaia's models and those that the couturier patiently collected from Christian Dior. It highlights concepts of style and creation that, despite being separated by several decades, respond to, unite or confront each other, bearing witness to a shared sensibility over time.

Vtělená moudrost
Moshé Feldenkrais dokázal na malé ploše vyjádřit své základní myšlenky velmi pregnantním a srozumitelným způsobem. A přece nebyly Feldenkraisovy články a rozhovory ještě nedávno běžně dostupné. Proto se editorka Elizabeth Beringerová rozhodla shromáždit veškeré autorovy texty tohoto typu z let 1964–1981. Jednotlivé texty jsou doplněny o vysvětlení kontextu a fotografické dokumenty.
Publikace shrnuje základní myšlenky Feldenkraisovy metody, například důraz na adaptabilitu organismu jako projev zdraví. Tím, že se vědomě zaměřujeme na své pohybové vzorce, zlepšujeme i své duševní fungování. Publikace rovněž propojuje Feldenkraisovu metodu s dalšími zajímavými kontexty (např. vztah sluchu a prostorové orientace, bojová umění, role předního mozku, herectví) a dokládá, že autor měl propracovaný filozofický pohled na život a byl také v kontaktu s významnými osobnostmi své doby. Některé texty obsahují konkrétní náměty na cvičení nebo vycházejí ze zkušeností se seminářem, který Feldenkrais vedl.
The Companion to Castles
‘A fascinating book that covers the history and development of something that is unique to the Middle Ages – the castle.’ - Medieval HistoryOver 1,000 castles were built in the century following the Norman Conquest. Most were constructed in the wake of the Conquest itself by the Norman lords and their allies as they took possession of their lands. These conquerors in a hostile land numbered only a few thousand and their castles became both symbols of subjugation and bastions of paranoia. Nevertheless, contrary to the popular perception, medieval castles were more often lived in than fought over. A castle was a fortified feudal residence, a symbol of a lord’s power and authority and the instrument of regional domination: administrative, judicial and military. Very few castles remain unaltered from when they were first built and none fits neatly into any particular category. Many have succumbed to the ravages of siege warfare, abandonment and despoliation, especially in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Some have been entirely rebuilt and most have been remodelled many times, according to the current military, domestic and architectural fashion. For several there is evidence of continuous occupation from the twelfth century to the present day. Stephen Friar has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of castles as well as the ability to place issues within a historical context and explain them succinctly and clearly for the non-specialist. From quadrangular castles to shell keeps, garderobes and gargoyles to tournaments, and anarchy to zig-zag moulding, this detailed A–Z reference book, with its lavish illustrations, is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval castles. ‘A fascinating book … as well as providing a history of British castles, the book also offers advice on how to get the most enjoyment and fulfilment out of your visits.’ - The Journal
The Significance of Souness
In 1986, Rangers FC made a bold move that changed Scottish football forever. The appointment of Graeme Souness as player-manager marked the end of a nine-year title drought and the beginning of a new era atIbrox. Backed with serious investment and a clear mandate, Souness won the league in his first season and reignited the club's ambition. This book revisits that transformative period, when Celtic, Aberdeen and Dundee United were the dominant forces. With fresh insight from Rangers legends such as Terry Butcher, Ian Durrant and John Brown, and reflectionsfrom rivals including Souness's former international teammate Alan Rough, we explore the battles on the pitch and the drama behind the scenes. Former Rangers player and then-Hearts boss Alex MacDonald also shareshis memories of how his old club changed almost overnight. Forty years on, we uncover stories never told before, with Souness himself at the heart of it. Featuring a foreword by iconic captain Richard Gough, and a postscript from Rangers record goal scorer Ally McCoist, this is a compelling look at the revolution that reshaped Rangers. As Ian Ferguson put it, 'I could have gone to Man Utd., but when Souness trapped up at Ibrox, there was only one destination for me.'

But the truth is: William Shakespeare’s life is in danger. And worse, only Eddie knows it.
The Hyena's Daughter
From Ali Smith: “The Hyena’s Daughter tells the far-too-untold story of a c19th sisterhood, thedaughters of Mary Wollstonecraft: Fanny Imlay and Mary Shelley, the famedwriter of Frankenstein, plus their step-sister Claire Clairmont, lover of LordByron. Are they the three graces? The fates? They’re women, as alive and breathingand rebellious and analytical as you and me, and well aware and critical of thehemmed-in nature they’re expected to accept as women of their time – a timeof “a new way of thinking, a new-world independence, a revolutionary world.” It features their connection to Percy Bysshe Shelley – “how could we not lovehim, with his lofty ethics and words that flew like birds?” –and many of theother contemporary poets and thinkers of the time. Pacy and assured, it turns its history to life from fragment to sensuousfragment. If the dead brought to life is to be Mary Shelley’s theme, this novellaasks what the real source of life spirit is, the vital spark. This book, full of detailand richesse, is a piece of vitality in itself.”
The Seven OClock Club
At seven oclock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary London tower block, Callum, Freya, Mischa and Victoria meet for the first time. They have three things in common: all have suffered a traumatic experience; all of them cannot seem to put it behind them; and they have all accepted an invitation to attend a counselling session with the unconventional Genevieve - a determined woman with an unusual theory to test.
Connections form, friendship, and even love, begins to bloom as the group all work towards a brighter future that leaves their pasts behind them. But there is a reason these four people have been brought together - and they are all about to be forced to make some unexpected - and, for some, impossible - decisions...
Not Another Unicorn Story
I know what you're thinking. But don't worry, I'm not going to tell you another unicorn story!

You insist? Pfff, fine, all right . . .
