The Beautiful Death of Ozzy Osbourne
Pioneering metal writer Keith Kahn-Harris presents a moving, visionary exploration of Ozzy Osbourne, and of metal music and culture: the potent legacy Ozzy left us.
What is a ‘good death’?
How about this: After years of terrible health, you gather friends and admirers for one last, glorious party. A couple of weeks later, you slip away, surrounded by your loving family. Then, the world comes to mourn. That is how Birmingham’s favourite son, Ozzy Osbourne, died.
By his death in June 2025 – at an age few believed he’d reach – Ozzy was much-loved, far beyond the metal world. Once a feared, demonic figure to some (and a joke to others), his Back to the Beginning farewell concert at Villa Park raised millions for charity.
In concise, arresting chapters moving from Death to Life via Art, Politics, Sex, Bodies, Voice, Family, Myth and more, Kahn-Harris explores how Ozzy – of all people! – attracted such generosity of spirit. The answer, he finds, is deeply embedded within the story and culture of metal – and has lessons for us all.
The Wayfinder
When a mysterious visitor lands on her island, a place so remote its inhabitants have forgotten the word for stranger, young Korero finds herself thrust into a terrifying and magical world. Her people are desperate and on the brink of starvation, and the wayward stranger offers them an impossible choice: they can remain in the only home they’ve ever known and await the uncertainty to come, or Korero can join him and venture into unfamiliar waters, guided by only the night sky and his assurance of a bountiful future in the Kingdom of Tonga.
What Korero and her people don’t know is that the promised refuge is no utopia - Tonga is an empire at war and on the verge of collapse, a place where brains are regularly liberated from skulls and souls may become trapped in coconuts.
The perils of Tonga are compounded by a royal feud: loyalties are shifting, graves are being opened, and everyone lives in fear of a jellyfish tattoo. Here, survival can rest on a perfectly performed dance or the acceptance of a cup of kava. Together, the stranger and Korero embark upon an epic voyage - one that will deliver them either to salvation or to the depths of the Pacific.
Evoking the grandeur of Wolf Hall and the splendor of Shogun, Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Adam Johnson conjures oral history, restores the natural world, and locates what’s best in humanity. Toweringly ambitious and breathtakingly immersive, The Wayfinder is an instant, timeless classic.
Drayton and Mackenzie
For the first time since university, James and Roland's paths through life - one drawn in straight lines, the other squiggled and meandering - began to cross…
James Drayton has always found things too easy. By the time he leaves university, he's still searching for a challenge worthy of his ambitions, one that will fulfil the destiny he thinks awaits him.
Roland Mackenzie, on the other hand, is an impulsive risk-taker, a charismatic drifter with boundless enthusiasm but a knack for derailing his own attempts to get started in life.
When a chance encounter in a pub reunites these old acquaintances, it sets them on an unpredictable course through the upheavals of the 21st century, and triggers an unlikely alliance. Against the backdrop of the financial crash and its aftermath, they strive to create something that outlasts them, something that will matter.
Drayton and Mackenzie is a stunningly ambitious, immediately engaging and ultimately deeply moving novel both about trying to make your mark on the world, and about how a friendship might be the most important thing in life.

Three Revolutions
The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.
From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions.
In Three Revolutions, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world.
Here, in Simon Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, Three Revolutions raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today.
The Beat the Pulse the Wave
Life comes at you in waves, sometimes they carry you to new shores, sometimes you risk drowning in the flood. Life is a pulse, a heart pumping the blood of now and the blood memories of the past and of your ancestors. Life is a beat, a dance, a festival where you watch Portishead in a field as the sun sets. Life is the rhythm of all three together, it is the beat, the pulse, the wave that brings you to this moment. Jeremy Dixon pauses to consider and celebrate that which was, that which is and that which could be.

'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.

AI gramotnosť pre 3. cyklus základného vzdelávania
Pracovný zošit, ktorý poskytuje komplexný rámec pre zavádzanie umelej inteligencie a digitálnej gramotnosti do základného vzdelávania v súlade s novým Štátnym vzdelávacím programom 2023. Táto vôbec prvá edukačná publikácia svojho druhu na slovenskom knižnom trhu vznikla na základe požiadavky a potrieb škôl, ktoré vstupujú do kurikulárnej reformy , ako pomôcka na vyučovanie novej AI gramotnosti. Pracovný zošit prepája AI gramotnosť s bežnými školskými predmetmi a životnými situáciami žiakov, takže nejde o technickú príručku, ale o praktický, vekovo primeraný materiál. V obsahu sa kladie dôraz na bezpečné, etické a zodpovedné používanie AI, kritické overovanie informácií, rozpoznávanie deepfake obsahu, ochranu súkromia a digitálnu rovnováhu. Výraznou prednosťou sú aktivity, minireflexie a úlohy, ktoré podporujú vlastný úsudok žiakov a ukazujú AI ako pomocníka, nie náhradu človeka. Pracovný zošit prináša možnosť diferencovanej úrovne práce so žiakmi: základné úlohy umiestnené priamo priamo v pracovnom zošite sú vhodné pre celú cieľovú skupinu, zatiaľ čo pod QR kódmi sa nachádzajú úlohy s vyššou náročnosťou určené najmä pre starších alebo pokročilejších žiakov.
Nová matematika 1– PZ A
Prvá časť pracovného zošita s prvkami singapurskej metódy matematiky pre žiakov 1. ročníka v prvom cykle základného vzdelávania, ktorý prináša obsah v súlade s novým kurikulom. Cieľom je pochopenie podstaty matematických pojmov cez vizuálne pomôcky a logické myslenie, nie bifľovanie. Kľúčom je metóda, ktorá prechádza od konkrétnych predmetov k obrázkom a až potom k abstraktným číslam. Často sa využíva modelovanie slovných úloh pomocou blokových schém. Táto metóda je úspešná, lebo žiaci lepšie pochopia úlohy a vedia ich aj efektívnejšie riešiť. Pracovné zošity k učebnici Nová MATEMATIKA pre 1. cyklus vzdelávania 1A a 1B sú spracované v podobe pracovných listov podľa kapitol a lekcií v učebnici. Sú štruktúrované tak, aby si žiaci na príkladoch, obrázkových a slovných úlohách precvičili učivo každej kapitoly a lekcie a v závere v rámci opakovania si overili a upevnili svoje vedomosti. Úlohy tematicky často nadväzujú na učebnicu. Aj v pracovných zošitoch je zachovaná metodika singapurskej matematiky pre primárne vzdelávanie. Kladie sa dôraz na dôkladné osvojenie matematických základov a precvičovanie konceptov z učebnice.

And what are the limits of love between friends?
