Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”
Curious Cats and Fantastical Felines
For thousands of years, cats and humankind have been inextricably intertwined. From the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Bastet to the cat demon Yokai of Japan, people have been fascinated, enthralled and horrified in equal measure by everything feline-related.
Throughout history, cats have been revered and reviled and everything in between. Worshipped as divine, blamed for plague and pestilence, or labelled as the demonic companions of witches - whether fair or foul, no other animal has attracted such consistent attention, a fact strongly illustrated by the vast number of myths, legends, sayings, superstitions and tales that exist regarding these enigmatic creatures.
Today, mankind is no less under the feline thrall, with cat memes, videos and celebrity cat accounts numbering amongst the highest-ranking entertainment across the internet. Unknown to many, this cultural fascination has a deep and rich history that spans continents and millennia. Discover the roots of this age-old captivation with our feline counterparts and why they have been loved - or otherwise - by so many.

How Korean Corn Dogs Changed My Life
An addictive, tell-all memoir about what happens when you try to make your dreams come true - as well as a love letter to Korea.
Aged twenty-one, fuelled by a love of K-dramas and a need to find herself, Alice Amelia moves to Seoul. She knows no one in her adopted country, doesn't speak the language, and hasn't tried kimchi, let alone grilled cow intestines or Korean corn dogs.
But she soon realises that real-life Seoul isn't the romanticised city she'd watched on television - and it doesn't have subtitles.
Determined to follow her dream, Alice becomes everything she wasn't in England: adding spicy gochujang sauce to every meal, dancing in K-pop videos, dating famous models, and even injecting salmon sperm into her eye bags. But as she breaks into the Korean entertainment industry which she idolised from afar, and finds a group of new friends as well as a chance at love, her life spirals in ways she never could have imagined. Wanting to stay true to herself, she wonders, will she ever belong in Korea? And what price will it cost her to stay?

Combining easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes, it covers everything from geological mapping and the water cycle to climate change and population demographics.
This fascinating book includes:
• More than 90 of the most important ideas, theories, and milestones in the field of geography - covering physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, and practical geography

The Child-Healthy Divorce
A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, but for children that doesn’t make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt.
In The Child-Healthy Divorce, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children’s needs, including how to talk about what’s happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child’s attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence.
With numerous case studies and practical strategies, the book shows parents how to create age-appropriate custody arrangements, reassure kids without invalidating their feelings, and build a positive support system. It also provides helpful guidance about new partners, blended families, and other special situations. Most importantly, it offers hope.
No one with kids wants a divorce, but if that step becomes necessary, this book can help readers establish the emotional security that their children need for success in life.
