Yellowjackets meets Smile in this atmospheric sapphic horror debut, in which a group of troubled girls are stalked through the Appalachian wilderness by a frightening monster that feeds on their deepest fears. Penny's abusive father is dead…but she still hears his voice in her head, encouraging her to hurt those around her. She can't go to school or be around her friends or even draw with a sharp pencil without her intrusive thoughts urging her toward violence. Desperate to get a handle on her OCD, she agrees to spend the summer at Camp Whitewood-an exclusive therapy retreat in the woods. She feels optimistic when she arrives. The other girls all have their reasons for being there, which makes Penny feel a little less alone. But then she starts seeing things that can't possibly be there: the gold watch her father was buried with, his favorite whiskey spilled on her cabin floor...a terrifying figure she calls the Shadow Man looming at the foot of her bed. Penny thinks she is losing her mind, but when a girl goes missing, and is later found dead, it's clear that whatever is happening at Camp Whitewood isn't all in her head. As the hallucinations become increasingly intense and more girls wind up dead, Penny must work with whoever is left standing to figure out what is real before the Shadow Man uses their traumas against them and claims their lives.

„Zatoužil po moci, a našel temnotu, má klíč jen na zkoušku a v hlavě prázdnotu, otočí jedinkrát – srdce máš pryč…“ Ze všech bytostí, které obývají říši jménem Pišingr, není žádná tak obávaná jako Stínokrál. Ovládá temnou magii, a protože umí měnit podobu, místní ho nazývají Stvůrou tisíce tváří – nikdy nevíte, kde na něj narazíte. Když do Pišingru zabloudí kamarádi Chiri a Daj ze sirotčince v Údolíčku, setkají se nejen s roztomile popleteným archeologem, kouzelnými zvířaty a přátelskými průvodci. Číhá tu také nebezpečí v podobě hrozivých hraček na klíček a dalších přisluhovačů Stínokrále. Blíží se boj, ve kterém je třeba sáhnout po meči i po zaříkávadlech. Mladý komiksový tvůrce Carlos Sánchez vypráví příběh plný pastelových barev, ztřeštěných nápadů a tajemných run, který si získá fanoušky Času na dobrodružství a Studia Ghibli. A ukazuje, že někdy je stejně důležité umět rozluštit poselství starobylých nápisů jako porozumět si s neslyšícím kamarádem, který používá znakový jazyk.

This is my family. And I'm the littlest. Meet Dory - an irresistible scamp with a huge imagination.

And Dory has a lot to do: outsmarting the monsters that live in her house, escaping from prison (aka time-out) and exacting revenge on her sister's favourite doll... Fully illustrated throughout, and with perfect-for-bedtime length chapters, this adorable little mischief-maker is sure to capture your heart.

Colin Crouch argues that at the base of all political conflicts are struggles over which types of people should be included in and which excluded from various rights, including the right to exist at all within a particular society. This is more fundamental than any conflict between left and right or between classes, and it gives rise to tropes of inclusionary and exclusionary rhetoric that can be transferred across issues – from ethnicity to gender and sexual orientation, and including demands for nations to isolate themselves as much as possible from contacts with others. Today the forces seeking exclusions of many kinds are gaining ground in the strategies of many governments, parties and movements. Drives to exclude lead rapidly to the incitement of hatred, which leads in turn to acts of performative cruelty and physical violence. Deeply opposed as he is to the politics of exclusion, Crouch seeks to understand and explain its rationality. He passionately advocates a politics of inclusion but, at the same time, he recognises the real obstacles that a commitment to inclusion must confront. While not optimistic about how these struggles will play out in the coming years, he seeks a path through which campaigns for openness and welcome could still triumph in dark times.

This fully revised and updated edition of Peter B. Dedek's classic is a thorough dive into the history and current delights of America's Road in time for its 100th birthday!In 2026, Route 66 reached a major mile marker: it has celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary. Commissioned by the federal government as US Highway 66 in 1926, Route 66 has weathered many bumps in the road. The old road even survived a near-death experience in 1985 when it was bypassed by interstate highways and officially decommissioned only to rise again as a historic landmark and symbol of the independent American spirit and America’s love affair with the automobile. Although much along the historic highway has been lost over the years, Route 66 still has a lot to offer. Old motels, vacant gas stations, vintage restaurants, and decayed tourist traps have been preserved and transformed into sites of reverence and memory. In the past few decades, the highway has evolved into a linear community, a heritage corridor, an American route of pilgrimage sustained by a series of preserved landmarks visited by tourists from all over the world. More recently built museums, visitors’ centers, roadside parks, and Route 66–themed businesses offer tourists the chance to experience myriad aspects of the highway and the ideas it represents. This book examines the many meanings of Route 66 and how they relate to its past, present, and future. More an idea than a highway, Route 66 symbolizes a sense of freedom and benign rebellion against the constrained routines of modern life, a place where one can wander and live in the moment. The old road also represents community, wholesome enjoyment, and an entrepreneurial, independent spirit. Route 66 is a road of stories and legends.

Gyöngyöző pezsgő, meleg vajas croissant és egy kis je ne sais quoi… Hattie Carter-Jones szívét összetörték. Méghozzá apró darabokra. Testileg-lelkileg mélyponton van, úgy érzi, menedékre van szüksége, ahol a sebeit nyalogathatja. Így aztán kapva kap barátnője ajánlatán, hogy szervezze meg az esküvőjét, méghozzá a franciaországi Champagne régió egyik álomszép kastélyában. Hattie semmire sem vágyik kevésbé, mint a romantikára, arra meg végképp nem számít, hogy a szívdöglesztő Luc Brémont besétál az életébe. A simogató napsütésben eltöltött piknikeken és a helyi piacon tett séták során, az ínycsiklandó illatok kavalkádjában azonban felötlik benne, hogy elképzelhető, hogy nem csupán menedékre van szüksége, hanem egy kellemes nyári flörtre is. Vagy talán egy kicsit még annál is többre...

Éldekorált kiadás Megesküdtem, hogy soha többé nem lépem át ennek a palotának a küszöbét. Hogy soha többé nem hódolok be apámnak. De mégis visszahurcoltak ebbe az aranykalitkába, ahol az uralma alatt görnyedek egy olyan sorshoz láncolva, amely elől oly sokszor menekültem. A testem az övé, hogy összetörje; a mágiám az övé, hogy a szolgálatába hajtsa. És bármennyi éjen át álmodom is arról, hogy Dacre áttöri a palota kapuit, és kimenekít a sötétségből, az álmok mit sem érnek egy király kapzsiságával szemben… Még ha a társam el is jön értem, és megszabadulok apám markából, nem tudom, marad-e bármi belőlem, amit érdemes lehet megmenteni. A királyság haldoklik. A föld kiszárad az elorzott mágia súlya alatt, és apám uralma nem érhet véget vérontás nélkül. De túl sokáig éltem már a sötétben. És nem arra születtem, hogy elhervadjak – hanem arra, hogy lángra lobbanjak.

„Škandalózny" príbeh sexuálneho vzťahu pätnásťročného gymnazistu a zrelej, vyše tridsaťročnej ženy, ktorá neskôr stojí pred súdnym tribunálom obžalovaná z najťažších zločinov. Mala ich spáchať na sklonku druhej svetovej vojny ako dozorkyňa v koncentračnom tábore, teda ešte pred známosťou s nedospelým rozprávačom. Spojenie „chlapčenskej nevinnosti" a tragickej životnej skúsenosti v ľúbostnom vzťahu je nečakaným a neželaným, ale na druhej strane aj osudovým mostom medzi zločinmi minulosti a prítomnosťou, v ktorej a ktorou žijeme.

In 1795, an attempted revolution in the British colony of Grenada took place, led by the enigmatic Julien Fédon. While ultimately unsuccessful, this bloody uprising shifted the balance of power in the Caribbean and fundamentally changed the way the British crown ran its colonies. But what might have happened had Fédon's rebellion played out differently, with a more consistent message on enslaved emancipation and mixed-race empowermen? n this compelling new book, historian Kit Candlin tells the captivating story of the rebellion in Grenada, full of secret plans and clandestine meetings, frayed nerves and paranoia, in a highly unstable, interconnected world. Its protagonists form a diverse collection of transient adventurers, itinerant planters, free people of colour and the enslaved – the flotsam of one of the most polyglot, contested and liminal places in the Atlantic World. While not as well known as its Haitian counterpart, the Grenadian revolution played a crucial role in shaping the British Empire, and understanding its history brings further nuance and context to the bitter legacy of colonialism in the region. Candlin's rich tale of what happened – and what might have been – is not to be missed by anyone interested in the Caribbean in the Age of Revolution.

On 19 November 1995, the world learned the name Gianluigi Buffon. At the tender age of seventeen he made his Serie A debut for Parma against European giants Milan, facing down the likes of Roberto Baggio and George Weah, keeping a clean sheet. During his twenty-eight-year long career Buffon broke many records including: - The most capped goalkeeper of all time and the most appearance for Italy (176) - The most Serie A titles (10) - The longest time in Serie A without conceding a goal (974 minutes) The numbers, however, only tell half the story of a player famously nicknamed "Superman" for his athletic prowess. In Saved Buffon reveals that even superheroes struggle with their inner demons. Beyond his individual triumphs with Parma, Juventus and PSG - the famous World Cup win in 2006 - Buffon reflects on his deeply human challenges off the pitch. He describes being devoured by depression between games and the psychological toll of being a goalkeeper - the loneliest position in football - often finding solace in talking to his gloves. He opens up about his gambling, smoking during matches and the strains on his relationships which became fodder for the press. Buffon's are the struggles of a man whose talents and flaws co-exit. Saved is both a meditation on the art of goalkeeping and a love letter to the golden age of Italian football.

The new second edition volume one 1469-1839 is updated to the present recounts the return of the community to the mainstream of national life. Written in Khushwant Singh''s trademark style to be accessible to a general, non-scholarly audience, the book is based on scholarly archival research. This volume covers the social, religious and political background which led to the formation of the Sikh faith in the fifteenth century. Basing his account on original documents in Persian, Gurmukhi and English, the author traces the growth of Sikhism and tells of the compilation of its sacred scriptures in the Granth Sahib. The transformation of the Sikhs from a pacifist sect to a militant group called the Khasla led by Guru Gobind Singh is portrayed in detail.

From Getting Started to Graduation: A Student Guide to the EdD, a volume in The Coming of Age of the Education Doctorate Series book series, pulls back the curtain on the hidden curriculum of the EdD experience for students, fully supporting their journeys by making what is too often anxious and abstract more clear and concrete. Drawing from years of experience from designing and directing an EdD program, the authors provide an end-to-end playbook for students to draw from as they navigate their own EdD program of choice. Part I focuses on getting started. The book begins with an establishment of the why behind getting an EdD and how this is a distinct and unique experience unlike other graduate degrees. It pushes readers to think beyond the title, encouraging them to drill down into their core motivation for pursuing not just a degree but a transformative experience. Readers will then learn about finding the match quality between their goals and aspirations and the myriad program choices available to them. Once students have winnowed down their choices and found their fit, they will be coached on how to build survival systems that will help them thrive from the onset to the finish line. This includes learning how to pace themselves, how to lean on friends and family, how to create contingency plans, and how to create helpful constraints that make room for work-life balance. The book closes Part I with helpful tips for time and resource management, as well as how to build routines and habits that allow them to be kind of their future selves. Part II explicitly explores how to navigate this years-long quest and stay the course. Readers will learn how to get curious and keep that door open across coursework in order to allow for innovative and creative ideas to flourish and eventually lead to fusion—the key to creative thinking. With the door opened to ideas and exploration, the book sets the stage for how to become a scholar-practitioner through key habits of mind such as the what-if and maybe mindset and tackling the tough task of synthesis. Part II ends with the call to team up and to take this winding road together. The EdD experience can be lonely if students go it alone, and the volume explains how and why teaming up is not just nice but necessary to persevere as the way to reach the finish line. Finally, Part III pivots to helping students survive the intensive thinking, researching, and writing demands of the dissertation. Readers will tap into years of tips and tricks on how to break this mystifying and monstrous project into sizable and achievable small steps that fuel motivation for the long haul so that students avoid burnout during the final push as they near defending their projects and crushing their comps. When finished, EdD students will be able to leverage what is too often hidden from students and draw from the concrete examples, strategies, stories, and templates therein in order to start strong and finish strong. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Research; Research Methodology; Introduction to the EdD; The Scholar-Practitioner; Exploring Problems of Practice; Becoming a Change Agent
