The History of the Vertebrate
‘On 20 December 2015 I became a mother and I went mad.’On a single day, Mar García Puig gives birth to twins and becomes elected to the Spanish Parliament as a member of the insurgent left-wing party Podemos. What might have been the best day of her life becomes the start of a terrifying ordeal; García Puig’s grip on reality begins to slip as she grapples with uncertainty, the weight of expectation, and misogyny in both of her new roles. In defiance of a culture that tells her the problem lies within, García Puig chooses to look outwards, examining the imbrication of madness and motherhood across centuries of science, myth, and politics while dissecting the ways in which women have been pathologized and banished from public life. At once intimate and epic, The History of the Vertebrate is a searing account of postpartum madness. Moving between memory, culture, and the history of medicine, García Puig transforms her experience into a story about the countless women who have felt that sanity was leaving them, and about the patriarchal forces that have silenced them.

The Kind Company of Others
A poet’s skill lies in their ability to distil complex themes into a few paragraphs; to pick out the fundamental quality in people that make us unique; they can describe nature in a way that makes us see its majesty. The poet traverses contents and political divides; they help us understand where we have come from which in turn allows us to figure out where we are going. And no one does this better than Alexander McCall Smith. He has brought – through his novels – many wonderful characters to vivid life and entertained readers all over the globe. And in his third collection of poetry, he guides the reader by the hand and takes them through time and place exploring the majestic themes of nature and the complexities of relationships and what it is that makes us human with his trademark warmth and humour.
Broxy Kennels Fort, Souterrain and Surrounding Landscape, Perth
Archaeological excavation of almost the entirety of Broxy Kennels Fort to the north of Perth, was undertaken in advance of a new road development. It revealed a multivallate fortified settlement on a hill overlooking the River Tay. The fort constructed in the 6th century BC initially comprised two ditches that encircled the hill with a north-east entranceway that led to the interior. Around the late 5th-early 4th centuries BC, parts of the settlement’s defences were altered to accommodate a souterrain constructed into one of the silted-up ditches. The alteration necessitated a further short ditch either side of the entrance, followed by a final outer ditch that encircled the hill. Other changes within the enclosure may also have occurred at this time with material from clearance of structures being dumped in the ditches. After a short hiatus, an unenclosed settlement within the interior of the fort persisted from the 4th century BC until around the late 1st century AD. Other than traces of sporadic activity from the early medieval period to the post-medieval era, the site was to all intents and purposes lost to the plough.

But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted at a party by a high-profile figure. Jenny reported this crime to the police when she became aware of other allegations of violence against The Famous Man. Shortly after doing so, details of what she had experienced were printed in a tabloid newspaper. Jenny trained as a journalist herself to try to find out how this happened. In the aftermath of devastation, she picked up the pieces and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Her investigation helped expose the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now call the 'phone-hacking scandal'. Now training as a lawyer, Jenny is still working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a reckoning: a personal, fiercely compelling account of power - who holds it, who wields it, who is silenced in the process. It asks urgent questions about fame, justice, and the institutions we have no choice but to trust, while offering something even more profound: hope. Because this is, above all, a story about resilience. About finding your voice when the world wants to silence you. And refusing to let them win.

Walker Evans
A major reassessment of Walker Evans that shows him as a photographer both of his time and very much ahead of it.
Walker Evans (1903-1975) is one of the great enduring figures of modern photography. His vivid images are inseparable from the history of the medium and the history of the USA. The subject matter was quintessentially American - small-town life, typical buildings, commercial signs and anonymous citizens - but Evans brought to them the curiosity and fascination of an outsider. His exacting eye defined an era while also questioning it. Pop artists and Conceptualists saw Evans as a pioneer and precursor, and his sensibility continues to inspire countless younger image makers.
Walker Evans offers a broad overview of his work and its lasting influence on generations of artists. It brings together key photographs and projects spanning his entire career - from self-portraits of the 1920s to his Polaroid experiments in the 1970s - along with books and other publications that reflect his tireless capacity for observation. Together, the works reveal a creator who not only documented the world around him but also invited viewers to question the nature of photography and the perception of reality itself.

Hét perc
Egy elmélet szerint, életünk végén hét percet kapunk, hogy újra átéljük a legszebb
pillanatainkat.
De vajon ez tényleg igaz?
Chloe Langford
Életem egyik legnagyobb tragédiája után döntöttem úgy, hogy pszichológia szakon fogok
továbbtanulni. Azt hittem, hogy segít majd kiismerni az embereket, de aztán szembesültem a
ténnyel, hogy a barátom megcsalt, ami egyáltalán nem tett jót az önbizalmamnak. Ám ha nem
történt volna meg azon a bizonyos estén a szakítás, talán sosem találkozom azzal a fiúval, aki
nemcsak segít visszanyerni a valódi énem, de második esélyt is ad, hogy egy múltbeli hibámat
kijavítsam.
Lance Blackburn
A család fekete bárányának lenni szívás. A hétköznapjaim szürkék; általában családi vitákat
hallgatok, amik rendszerint miattam robbannak ki, mivel nem vagyok olyan szorgalmas, mint
az öcsém. Mi több, a kudarc tökéletes példája vagyok, aki a filozófiaórái helyett inkább a
városban motorozik. Nincsenek hosszú távú céljaim, elképzelni sem tudom az öt évvel
későbbi énem. A sebesség az egyetlen menedékem, ami kitisztítja a fejem, és ami nélkül nem
ismertem volna meg azt a lányt, aki színt hoz a sivár életembe.
Talán a sors nem véletlenül sodor egymás mellé két embert.
A kis herceg
"Behunyt szemmel ivott. S mintha gyönyörű ünnepnap virradt volna ránk. Ez a víz sokkal több volt puszta folyadéknál. A csillagok fényében megtett útból, a kút énekéből, a karom erejéből fakadt. Ajándék volt a szívnek."

Visszatérés
Ez a csodálatos könyv a veszteségről, az újrakezdésről és az önmagunk felé vezető útról szól, arról, hogy a gyógyulás gyakran akkor kezdődik, amikor végre hagyjuk, hogy mások is belépjenek a világunkba.
A húszéves Ambre szerelmes, Philippe viszont házas, és csupán szeretőt keres. A lányt egy év után felemészti az érzelmileg egyre megterhelőbb, egyre kilátástalanabbá váló kapcsolat, és öngyilkosságot kísérel meg. Túléli, de az igazi gyógyulás reménytelenül távolinak tűnik. Ha nem is könnyen, Ambre elfogadja a Philippe által tulajdonképpen mindkettejük számára menekülőutat jelentő megoldást, és a téli szezonra elszegődik felszolgálónak egy eldugott, alpokbeli panzióba.
A gyönyörű táj, a munkatársak, az új barátok támogatása lassan megmozdít benne valamit. Fokozatosan ráébred, hogy az életben nem csupán romboló kapcsolatok létezhetnek, mert vannak emberek, akik bár maguk is gondokkal, traumákkal küzdenek, tudnak és akarnak is segíteni, és hogy vannak még olyanok, akik előtt nem szégyen gyengének, kétségbeesettnek mutatkoznia, mert ők is vállalják a maguk esendőségét.
Tim, Rosalie, Andréa, Wilson és a többiek, bár a véletlen szeszélye sodorta őket össze Arvieux-ben, fél év múltán már igazi közösségként fogják elbúcsúztatni a téli szezont, Ambre pedig megerősödve kerül ki a kegyetlen erőpróbából: ismét készen áll arra, hogy nyitott szívvel és lélekkel fogadja be a világot, az embereket.
