Gyilkos indulat
A nyár őrült erővel tombol Painters Millben. A meleg elől a cserjésbe menekülő amish gyerekek borzalmas felfedezést tesznek, ami egy csapásra véget vet a kisváros nyugalmának. Kate Burkholder rendőrfőnök a helyszínre érve a huszonegy éves Samuel Yutzy feldarabolt holttestére bukkan. A tapasztalt rendőrfőnököt is elborzasztják a látottak, vajon milyen eltorzult elme választott ilyen szadista módszert a gyilkossághoz? A nyomozás alig kezdődik el, amikor néhány kilométerre az első helyszíntől egy szakadékból egy hordóba gyömöszölt második holttest is előkerül. Az elhunyt Samuel Yutzy legjobb barátja. Kezdettől fogva világosnak tűnik, hogy a két haláleset között kapcsolat áll fenn, Kate mégsem tud rájönni a megoldásra, az amish közösség néma marad. Egy titokzatos nő felbukkanása ad új lendületet a nyomozásnak: szerinte a két amish fiatal olyan személyekkel került kapcsolatba, akik sötét dolgokkal üzletelnek. Az ügy megoldásához Kate-nek le kell merülnie a közösség legmocskosabb bugyraiba. Amikor pedig túl közel kerül az igazsághoz, a gyilkosok magát Kate-et veszik célba. Ohióban halálbüntetés jár a rendőrgyilkosságért - de visszatartaná ez bármelyik bűnözőt?
The Museum of Second Chances
From bestselling author Jo Leevers comes a heartfelt story of lost things and second chances. Every morning, Evelyn Silver walks the shoreline before the rest of Portheast wakes, gathering what the tide leaves behind. Broken cups. Lost trinkets. Objects others have discarded. In her small Museum of Maritime Curiosities, each one earns its place—because to Evelyn, every forgotten thing deserves to have its story told. At the heart of the museum lies her most precious possession: a fragment of Cornish lace, found pinned to her blanket when she was abandoned as a newborn. For over sixty years, she has kept it close, hoping someone might one day recognise it and tell her who she really is. So when the local council threatens to close the museum, Evelyn stands to lose far more than her livelihood. Forced out of her solitude, she rallies the community around the museum's curious collection—and as the objects begin to give up their secrets, lives start to intertwine in ways nobody expected. Because sometimes, the most precious things aren't lost at all. They're simply waiting to be claimed. >© 2026 Jo Leevers, all rights reserved.

In and against Development: The World Bank behind the Looking Glass
The second of two volumes written “in and against development” meticulously criticizes the World Bank’s scholarship and assesses alternative approaches to development studies. Long self-proclaimed as the “Knowledge Bank”, the World Bank is as active it is criticized for being in its endeavors to promote US interests in the the age of globalization, neoliberalism and financialization across its scholarship, ideology and policy in practice. Its analytical framing draws upon economics imperialism in general, and its evolution through three phases. Corresponding phases of new, newer and newest development economics are identified, with the World Bank taking a leading role in each, with implications for the expanding scope of development economics and its contestations with development studies.
The Constitution of Socialism
To revive the fortunes of socialism we must articulate a credible and attractive alternative. The Constitution of Socialism takes a decisive step in this direction. Offering an original synthesis of socialism and republicanism, the book discusses how society can move beyond capitalism. It outlines an institutional and political framework for a socialist future, in which collective decision-making about the use and allocation of resources directly responds to social interests. Through institutional design, this study explores the feasibility criteria of post-capitalism and sketches the contours and features of a viable model of socialism.
Desk Revolutionaries
The French Directory is often dismissed as an uninspiring interlude between revolutionary fervour and Napoleonic legend, yet its story is far richer than its reputation suggests. This book shifts the focus from the regime to the remarkable men who shaped it – a cohort of jurists, engineers and administrators who survived the Reign of Terror and set out to safeguard the Revolution’s most important achievements. Working not on battlefields but in offices and council chambers, they built durable laws and institutions that still underpin modern France. The first English-language study on the topic in fifty years, Desk Revolutionaries offers an engaging, character-driven narrative that also sheds light on the enduring power of technical experts in government, inviting reflection on how democracies are made – and maintained.
Liquid Faith
Since time immemorial, water has been a major theme in myth, religion and folklore throughout the world. With its 12,000-mile coastline, as well as a plethora of rivers and lochs, Scotland is a particularly rewarding place in which to explore the spiritual dimensions of what is both the most commonplace and yet the most mysterious of all chemical compounds. This is a journey from healing wells, springs, river sources and bogs to the seashore, islands and whirlpools, to discover the legends, superstitions and rituals that have grown up around them. Drawing on spirituality, philosophy and faith as well as history and tradition, Ian Bradley highlights the crucial importance of water over thousands of years, and emphasises its preciousness and vulnerability today and in the future. 'Bradley has a gift for wresting the most joyous morsels from his sources' – The Sunday Telegraph
A fák titkos élete
„Csak aki ismeri a fákat, az képes védelmezni őket.”
Az erdő a csönd, az érintetlen természet, a mese és a titkok birodalma. Egy hely, ahol bármi megtörténhet. Peter Wohlleben, a neves német erdész a fák titkos életébe enged betekintést, és meglepő dolgokat tár fel. Mert az erdőben ámulatba ejtő dolgok történnek: a fák beszélgetnek egymással. Nemcsak utódaikról gondoskodnak odaadóan, de idős és beteg szomszédaikat is ápolják. A fák éreznek és emlékeznek. Hihetetlen? Pedig igaz!
Peter Wohlleben fényt visz az erdő sűrűjébe, és bepillantást nyújt egy titokzatos világba. A fák eddig nem is sejtett képességeiről írott lebilincselő tudományos esszéiben a legújabb felfedezéseket éppúgy figyelembe veszi, mint saját tapasztalatait és érzéseit. És az olvasó nem győz álmélkodni a természet csodáin.

To Rule a Ruler
Fulvia is now a wealthy young widow, with more than gold to her name. In the wake of her husband's death, she has captured the love and loyalty of the people. And the men who rule Rome have begun to understand just how formidable she has become. There are those who fear her and those, like Julius Caesar, who see her potential.
Marcus Antonius is a powerful man in need of a commanding officer. Fulvia sees in him a man who could rule all of Rome, with her help. They marry and, when Caesar is assassinated, Fulvia and her husband begin a perilous game of playing for the ultimate power.
Love of the people. Control of an empire. Their opponents are legion: Caesar's killers, Brutus and Cassius; the wily young queen Cleopatra; the great orator Cicero, and the cold and calculated Octavian. But Fulvia has endured tragedy and condescension, and she will fight for the power and the legacy that she knows she deserves.
Whatever the cost.

Vlečie sa do Betlehema
Kultová, kánonická, kľúčová – prvá kniha esejí Joan Didion Vlečie sa do Betlehema zachytáva USA šesťdesiatych rokov v okamihu, keď sa starý poriadok rozpadá a nový sa ešte len bolestivo rodí. Prvýkrát vyšla v zlomovom roku 1968 a kritika ju označila za jedno z najlepších diel v krajine. Didion píše o San Franciscu, Johnovi Waynovi, Howardovi Hughesovi či o nevinnosti, ktorá sa mení na nepokoj, jazykom zároveň chladným aj hypnotickým. Jej texty nie sú len svedectvom jednej osoby, ale aj presným portrétom krajiny a spoločnosti v stave zneistenia. Vlečie sa do Betlehema je zásadná kniha modernej americkej literatúry a dôkaz, že esej môže byť rovnako prenikavá ako román.
