The Valkyries
The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters.
Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: Ryaan Akmal, Don Bisdorf, Kay Hanifen, Ikechukwu Henry, E.K. Larson-Burnett, JB Riley, Laura Shenton, Nina Shepardson, Zac Sherman, D.L. Stille, Susanna Fraser Stone, Deborah Tapper, Benjamin Thomas, M.M. Williams, Mae Wilmarth, Johanna Wittenberg and Ernie Xu.
About the series: Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods & Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with new stories alongside a comprehensive introduction which tells the original tales and emphasizes ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well known stories, complementing the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. Existing titles are Medusa, Odin, Anansi, Circe, Achilles, Morgana le Fay, Aphrodite and Loki.
Generace nula
Detektiv Fabian Risk je zpět – a v mistrovské formě! Deset let po událostech příběhu Poslední hřebík tráví Fabian léto na plachetnici u jihošvédských břehů se svou dcerou Matildou. Jedné noci z paluby zpozorují, jak se pevnina náhle ponoří do tmy. Po návratu do Helsingborgu čelí Fabianův tým řadě zdánlivě nevysvětlitelných případů, které následovaly po záhadném výpadku proudu. Svědci se chovají podivně a nic nedává smysl. Pak se Fabianovi ozve jeho dávná přítelkyně, jíž se ztratila dcera. Šlo o únos, nebo s tím má něco společného dceřin otec? Při pátrání po dívce začíná Fabian rozeznávat jistý vzorec. Ale stále mu něco uniká…

Neschopnost
Neschopnost, román spoluautora legendárního seriálu Červený trpaslík, se dokáže zaseknout pod kůži. Co před lety při prvním vydání působilo jako drsná satira, dnes čteme téměř jako dokument. Rob Grant popisuje svět, v němž se neschopnost stává normou, hloupost strategií a cynismus podmínkou přežití. Hrdina příběhu se snaží obstát v systému, který nepřeje inteligenci, empatii ani odpovědnosti — a zjišťuje, že největší trumfem je nebýt příliš schopný. Grantův humor je ostrý, nemilosrdný a přesný – ostatně jako vždy – a Neschopnost zraje jako víno: s dobou nevyčpěla, právě naopak. V éře manažerských frází, prázdných gest a algoritmického myšlení působí až znepokojivě aktuálně. Je to kniha o moci, selhání a lidské povaze — a o tom, proč svět často řídí ti nejméně vhodní lidé.

Germany's Jewish Problem
A leading German–Jewish peace activist dissects Germany’s authoritarian crackdown after Gaza. Since October 2023, the Frankfurt-based Jewish composer and activist Wieland Hoban has traveled the globe rallying opposition to the Gaza genocide. Now, in an urgent collection of writings at once blistering and revelatory, Hoban unravels the cultural neuroses and political cynicism that have made Germany an outlier in its support for Israeli crimes. From German gentiles confidently charging Israeli Jewish expats with antisemitism, to the German state’s decades-long project to stifle free speech under the guise of combating “antisemitism,” to German officials mobilising their historical responsibility for one genocide to justify participating in another—Hoban guides us through the grotesqueries of German “memory culture” and shows their lethal consequences. As the chair of a German–Jewish peace group whose bank accounts were repeatedly frozen and whose members have been arrested on Gaza solidarity protests, Hoban is uniquely placed to expose the oddities and outrages of Germany’s authoritarian turn. He also warns that what begins in Germany doesn’t stay there. From sabotaging international support for a Gaza ceasefire, to deporting foreign nationals on political grounds, to spearheading censorship laws across the EU, Hoban’s diagnosis of German pathologies demonstrates where the ideological weaponisation of “antisemitism” can lead.
How University Boards Work
A completely updated guide to helping university trustees become effective stewards of their institutions. Boards of trustees hold immense responsibility in guiding the future of colleges and universities. They hire and fire presidents, approve and monitor strategy, oversee finances, and safeguard institutional missions and autonomy. Yet many trustees enter this role with limited understanding of the distinct culture, structure, and values of the academic institutions they are selected to govern. In this second edition of How University Boards Work, former university president Robert A. Scott offers a practical and candid guide for navigating the complexities of academic board service. Originally published in 2018 and widely adopted in board development programs, this updated edition incorporates insights gleaned from years of training sessions, executive coaching, and a radically altered higher education landscape. Elements unique to this edition include:• A new preface addressing the contemporary pressures affecting higher education governance, including political interference, enrollment challenges, changing public attitudes, tuition pricing, overall costs and ROI, and post-pandemic adaptations. • Expanded guidance on key topics such as consent agendas, indicators of institutional vitality and vulnerability, risk assessment, and succession planning. • Updated index entries and terminology reflecting evolving governance concerns such as cybersecurity and free speech. With illustrative examples of effective and problematic board behavior and actionable suggestions for trustee development, How University Boards Work remains the definitive primer for trustees of both public and private institutions.

The Summer Proposal
The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I'd ever laid eyes on.
Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Or so I thought…Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasn't who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn't work out on my actual date. I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.
But my real blind date and I had no connection. So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period. Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. A player's face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.
You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn't invited me to watch hockey with him; he'd invited me to watch him play. And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
Max proposed that we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn't get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? But you know what they say about the best-laid plans…
The Poetry of Suicide: Lessons in Grief from the Lives and Deaths of Poets
This wise and touching exploration of the relationship between poetry and suicide offers new insights for those struggling with grief.
‘A nuanced and deeply insightful book.’ – Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self
‘A bold and truly vital work.’ – Adam Farrer, author of Broken Biscuits
‘Essential reading.’ – Anne Whitehead, author of Relating Suicide
Following the loss of his twin sister, J. T. Welsch found himself drawn to the stories of poets who took their own lives. In The poetry of suicide, he interweaves these stories with the long history of suicide in his own family, searching for a new way of understanding these difficult deaths.
Beginning with Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be?’, he delves into the work of Sylvia Plath, Marina Tsvetaeva and others, asking what it can teach us about suicide’s messy reality. He also explores recent controversies involving suicide, including the response to the Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why and Logan Paul’s notorious visit to Aokigahara, Japan's ‘suicide forest’.
Suicide is more like poetry than we realise, Welsch argues. Both are filled with ambiguities, contradictions and unknowable intentions. Both demand and resist interpretation. Recovering the personal dimension often lost in our sanitised public discourse, Welsch finds practical ways of confronting suicide’s poem-like difficulties.
Války s odpadem
Skládky po celém světě jsou přeplněné a spory o to, jak naložit s miliony tun odpadu vedou k válkám, o nichž málokdo tuší. Některé z nich mají charakter pohraničních potyček, v jiných se odpadky přesouvají tisíce kilometrů. Investigativní novinář Alexander Clapp strávil dva roky putováním po pěti kontinentech, aby zjistil, že většina vyhozených věcí žije tajným druhým životem – převážejí se, prodávají, přeprodávají a pašují se z jedné země do druhé, často s ničivými důsledky pro nejchudší národy světa. Kniha Války s odpadem je strhujícím expozé toho, jak a proč se za posledních čtyřicet let z našich odpadků zrodila obrovská, globální ekonomika v hodnotě mnoha miliard dolarů.

Game Over
Neil Miller looks for the slightest inkling that could lead him to uncovering Player 2511, the violent masked stalker threatening his family and his girlfriend, Selene Anderson. On one hand, the bond Neil shares with Selene grows stronger, unbreakable. But on the other hand, Neil is afraid his painful past will keep him from a full and meaningful life with her.

But he's used sex as a psychological release for too long, struggling to come to terms with his childhood abuse that haunts his everyday life.
When a revelation about his past overwhelms Neil's fragile ability to keep himself together, he turns his back on everyone he cares about and runs far away to find himself and regain some balance, torn between his escape and his powerful but undefined feelings towards Selene.

Monsters in the Archives
After Caroline Bicks was named the University of Maine's inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, she became the first scholar to be granted extended access by King to his private archives, a treasure trove of manuscripts that document the legendary writer's creative process - most of them never before studied or published. The year she spent exploring King's early drafts and hand-written revisions was guided by one question millions of King's enthralled and terrified readers (including her) have asked themselves: What makes Stephen King's writing stick in our heads and haunt us long after we've closed the book?
Bicks focuses on five of his most iconic early works - The Shining, Carrie, Pet Sematary, 'Salem's Lot, and Night Shift--to reveal how he crafted his language, storylines, and characters to cast his enduring literary spells.
While tracking King's margin notes and editorial changes, she discovered scenes and alternative endings that never made it to print, but that King is allowing her to publish now. The book also includes interviews Bicks had with King along the way that reveal new insights into his writing process and personal history.
Part literary master class, part biography, part memoir and investigation into our deepest anxieties, Monsters in the Archives - authorized by Stephen King himself - is unlike anything ever published about the master of horror. It chronicles what Bicks found when she set out to unearth how King crafted some of his scariest, most iconic moments.
But it's also a story about a grown-up English professor facing her childhood fears and getting to know the man whose monsters helped unleash them.

Finn Pearson was the one that got away. The boy who kissed her like they had forever, then left without a word. But now he's the chef in her new crew, and the cameras are watching their every move, innocent, or not.
Even on a superyacht, there's nowhere to hide from the past. Every stolen glance, every whispered argument, every lingering memory threatens to ignite what never fully burned out. And as the tension spills into their day jobs, even the dinner service is spiralling into disaster.
They've crashed before... but could eight weeks at sea be their second chance to get it right? Or will it be the storm that finally sinks them for good?
