The Sea Spinner
Bursting with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated installment of Julie Johnson’s romantasy series . . . --Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile, crackling with each pulse of her simmering rage. Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out. The Remnant of Fire needs all his focus for his kingdom, his people, and—perhaps more than anything—his insatiable need for revenge. When a twist of fate leads Rhya to the last place she expected—the Water Court—the novice wind weaver is forced to confront the limitations of her power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships. For enigmatic King Soren of Llyr is as different from Penn as sparks are from the sea. The more insight he offers into the maegic that binds them together, the more confused Rhya feels—about her future as a Remnant, about her deepest desires, and about her role in the coming war. Enemies circle close, ready to strike. And if Rhya isn’t careful, she’ll lose more than just her heart. She’ll lose her life. --Praise for the series:-"The Wind Weaver is a masterful fusion of epic fantasy and heart-pounding romance, equally relentless in its examination of dark themes as it is in bringing hope and magic to life. Julie Johnson's rich worldbuilding leaves no stone unturned, and her gripping prose takes no prisoners." Thea Guanzon, USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars“Julie Johnson creates a unique and addictive world in The Wind Weaver, unlike any other. Whether you're new to Romantasy or Fantasy, or seasoned, you'll find yourself immersed in the complex, beautifully crafted, chaotic and mesmerizing world of Anwyvn.” Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author"Johnson knows how to weave true enemies-to-lovers tension that will drive you wild in the best ways." LJ Andrews, USA Today bestselling author of The Ever King"Johnson hooks you from the very first page and never lets you go." Kate Golden, USA Today bestselling author"A well-rounded and powerful sequel. With its strong character arcs, nuanced handling of difficult themes, and beautifully crafted world, it offers a rewarding experience for readers who appreciate fantasy that balances emotional depth with imaginative storytelling."

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.

Autismus a náročné chování
Lidé, kteří nemohou komunikovat běžným způsobem, vyjadřují své potřeby chováním, jež nám může připadat náročné. Tato kniha ukazuje, že podobné projevy lze chápat jako zprávy o bolesti, strachu či nenaplněných potřebách, a přináší návod, jak na ně reagovat bez trestů a omezování. Vychází z pozitivních přístupů (například podpory pozitivního chování – PBS), které neusilují o „nápravu“ člověka, ale o zlepšování jeho života a vztahů. Hodnoty respektu, autonomie a kvality života převádí do konkrétních postupů, plánů a strategií využitelných v kažodenní praxi. Publikace je určena rodičům, asistentům, učitelům i odborníkům. Spojuje odbornost s lidskostí – aby meltdown nebyl koncem, ale začátkem změny k lepšímu životu.
Invincible
From the pioneering scientist and longevity expert, Dr Florence Comite, the new science-backed guide to future-proof your body and mind, defy your genetic destiny, and live a healthier, longer life.
What determines how long, and how well, we live?
Many of us assume we should look to our family history for clues - will we have a heart attack at fifty like Dad or develop Type 2 diabetes at seventy like Mum? It makes sense that we'd inherit the same path to ageing.
But your genes do not have to be your destiny.
Dr Florence Comite is the leading expert in healthy longevity, using precision medicine to help her patients reverse symptoms of biological ageing. Her clinical research shows that, even into middle-age, you can reverse the unhealthy trajectory you're on, live disease- and pain-free, active and happy, and recapture the energy of your twenties.
In her groundbreaking new book, Dr Comite offers a comprehensive, science-backed plan to improve your health and longevity. Based on years of clinical research and real case studies, Invincible will empower you to better understand your physiology, identify your unique health trajectory, and understand the specific proactive interventions that will stop and reverse biological ageing, metabolic disorders, heart disease and memory decline.
Unhealthy ageing is not inevitable; this book will show you how to become invincible.
The ADHD Sleep Book
Perfect for the increasingly diagnosed and underdiagnosed, this book fills a crucial market gap with specific and humane sleep advice. It's time for traditional sleep advice to truly consider the neurodivergent mind. If you've ever been called 'lazy' for struggling to wake up 'on time'If you think that sleep is boring when there's so much on your mind.
If you're convinced that sleep advice just doesn't work for you. READ THIS BOOK!
Awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity is growing rapidly, with diagnoses increasing and many more recognising symptoms without formal diagnosis. But when it comes to sleep, it is common to spread the same advice - go to bed earlier, wind down, cut screen time - without considering the uniqueness of the individual.
With research showing that up to 75% of individuals with ADHD experience chronic sleep difficulties, it is clear that sleep is central, not peripheral, to the neurodivergent mind. Yet many of us are stuck in the same shame-spirals- feeling like tiredness around a rigid 9-5 schedule is a moral failure, convinced that we're lazy, have poor discipline or can't get the hang of circadian clocks that seem to work for everyone. Yet no one is talking about the real solution- sleep advice should consider how the ADHD brain actually works - not how it should work.
The ADHD Sleep Book offers empowering rest and recovery strategies that start with you. By understanding the latest science behind sleep and neurodivergent wellbeing - from differences in melatonin levels, delayed sleep phases and hyperarousal at night - this book offers a compassionate and tailored pathway towards a restful night. Through relatable scenarios and drawing on the interventions Heather Darwall-Smith has used as a therapist and sleep specialist to help herself and her clients, this book will leave you feeling understood, empowered and equipped for realistic change.

It is human skills curiosity, compassion, communication, courage and creativity that will provide the answer to the challenges ahead.

Dr. Critchlow explores how we build collective wisdom, and how we best fuel our brains.

A Crane Among Wolves - Daru a farkasok között
Egy testvér megmentése. Egy nép felszabadítása. Egy zsarnok megdöntése.
1506, Csoszon. Az ország népe a kegyetlen zsarnok Jonszán király uralma alatt szenved. A király elkobozza a földeket, betiltja és máglyára veti a könyveket, fiatal nőket és lányokat hurcol el, hogy aztán a játékszerévé tegye őket. Senki sem mer szembeszállni vele.
A tizenhét éves Iszül eleinte védett, kiváltságos életet él, a királyságban uralkodó zűrzavar ellenére. Amikor azonban nővére, Szujon is a király prédájává válik, Iszül elhagyja faluja biztonságát, és tiltott területeken átkelve a fővárosba indul, azzal a reménnyel, hogy kiszabadíthatja nővérét. Hamarosan azonban rádöbben, hogy a király hatalma korlátlan, és uralmának megkérdőjelezésével a biztos halált kockáztatja.
Dejun herceg az egész életét megvetett féltestvére, a király fenyegető árnyékában töltötte. Végignézte a kivégzéseket és a nép ellen elkövetett kegyetlenkedéseket, és egyre erősebb benne a vágy, hogy letaszítsa trónjáról a zsarnoki uralkodót. De egy puccs kudarca végzetes lehet számára, és nem tudhatja, kiben bízhat.
Amikor Iszül és Dejun sorsa keresztezi egymást, kezdeti ellenszenvüknél csak a király iránt érzett gyűlöletük erősebb. Iszül családi kapcsolataival és Dejun udvari befolyásával együtt talán esélyt kapnak a lehetetlenre.

Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit?

Pekní vtáci
Tretia kniha aforizmov Emila Babína je iná ako dve predchádzajúce. Teraz sa v nej stretli básnik a aforista Babín a filmový režisér Martin Šulík ako výtvarník. Ide o stretnutie nanajvýš šťastné: Babínove aforizmy Šulík skvelo ilustruje a nápadito interpretuje humornou optikou. Kniha sa tým významne získala farebnosť a znásobila jej estetiku.
Autor aforizmov zažil dva režimy a založením je smoliar. Prečo? Lebo len čo si v demokracii konečne slobodne vystrel chrbát, seklo ho v krížoch. No pochopil, že dívať sa a vidieť sú dve rozdielne veci, iný uhol pohľadu. Náš svet je plný súčasníkov, ktorí sa potkýnajú aj na rovnej ceste. Všetky tie prešľapy a pády sú zdrojom aj komických situácií. Tak ako v aforizme Pekní vtáci: Väčšina poslancov má vtáčiu povahu. Do parlamentu sa prišli zazobať.
Martin Šulík svojimi obrázkami zase dokazuje, že je nielen výborný režisér, ale i výtvarník s veľkým darom humoru.
Vychádza v edícii DVAJAvJEDNOM. Dizajn a zalomenie knihy Martin Kurhajec.

Empire of AI
An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI
When longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.
But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the 'compute' power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground 'cleaning it up' for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.
In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.
Liberal Fascisms
With an apparently contradictory and characteristically makeshift term, ‘Liberal Fascisms’, Slavoj Žižek captures the paradoxical nature of political populism.
To see this phenomenon as purely liberal and dictatorially fascistic is to expose liberalism and fascism as two sides of the same coin. The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Žižek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays.
From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascisms, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the singular: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump’s America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us – like ‘post-truth– to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of hypocrisy, self-deception and what is real that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another.
With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, these interventions are both timely and resolute. From the so-called death of truth opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth… or for an even bigger lie. And ultimately we must ask – what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder?
Liberal Fascisms is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.
