Rosie Maxwellová má jasný plán! Chce sa stať uznávanou autorkou ľúbostných románov, a tak sa zapojí do programu kreatívneho písania Newyorskej univerzity. Všetko je dokonalé až do chvíle, keď sa ocitne v jednej triede so svojím úhlavným nepriateľom Aidenom Huntigtonom. Áno, možno sa jej kedysi páčil, a áno, rozhodne je až rozčuľujúco príťažlivý, ale všetko kazí svojou mrzutou a neznesiteľnou povahou. Zdá sa, že ani on ako autor existenčných románov nemá trpezlivosť s Rosie a jej romantickými nezmyslami. Profesorka, unavená ich večnými hádkami, im dá na výber – buď opustia jej kurz, alebo spoločne napíšu román, v ktorom prepoja oba svoje žánre. Rosie a Aiden sa rozhodnú spolupracovať a pustia sa do písania prekvapivo vzrušujúceho príbehu. Možno je toto ten najlepší spôsob, ako sa uvoľniť a preskúmať vzájomnú príťažlivosť. Sľubne sa vyvíjajúci projekt však narazí na prekážku a nezhody medzi Rosie a Aidenom opäť naplno prepuknú. Každý má totiž inú predstavu o tom, ako by sa mal skončiť ich spoločný ľúbostný príbeh.

Strážkyňa stratených miest
Zlo existuje aj v mierumilovnom svete
Dvanásťročná Sophie Fosterová je výnimočne inteligentné dievča, ktoré nemá žiadnych priateľov. Navyše ju ťaží tajomstvo – ako telepatka počuje myšlienky ostatných ľudí. Netuší, odkiaľ sa táto schopnosť vzala a najradšej by sa skryla pred ľuďmi ako sivá myška. Od chvíle, keď na nej spočinie pohľad záhadného (a pekného) modrookého chlapca, celý jej život sa prevráti naruby. Stretnutie s Fitzom nebola náhoda a všetko konečne dáva zmysel. Dokonca aj Sophiine schopnosti. Aby ich rozvinula naplno, musí opustiť svoju rodinu a vydať sa do úplne neznámeho sveta. Vzťahy medzi elfmi a ľuďmi sú totiž zakázané. Až na prestížnej akadémii pre nadaných elfov Sophie pochopí, v akom klame dovtedy žila a že jej myseľ zďaleka neodhalila všetky tajomstvá. Zdá sa, že aj medzi svojimi je pomerne neobyčajná a existuje dôvod, pre ktorý ju tak dlho ukrývali vo svete ľudí. Má totiž niečo, pre čo by iní zabíjali. Sophie tak čaká najťažšia skúška – musí odhaliť pravdu, skôr než sa k nej dostane temnota.

Start With Yourself
Based on the factors of her early life - she's the child of a working-class single mother who grew upin a rough neighborhood in East London and dropped out of high school - you'd never guess that Emma Grede would go on to become one of America's richest self-made women.
This makes Grede singular and unique, but she's convincedyou can do it too:START WITH YOURSELF is a blueprint to her mindset and how she thinks about business and life, structured in easy takeaways, so you can immediately apply her philosophy to what you're trying to build and create.
Among her most blazing insights, Grede identifies what she calls "Old Thoughts": stale thinking, outdated ideas; set-in-stone rules ingrained into the culture about work life balance, the crassness of money and the unseemliness of ambition - which aren't actually rules at all. They're biases, Grede insists, system errors, and we must strike them from our minds in order to create a greater sense of control, even mastery, over our day-to-day and long-range goals.
Ultimately, this is a book for everyone tired of feeling like a bystander or passenger in their own life.Grede offers tangible and applicable-right-now solutions to create a mindset, an overall system of thought to manage emotions, clarify ideas, and illuminate the right next step - while always staying positive.
It's about gathering yourself after failure. It's about being accountable but also forgiving yourself. It's about not expecting shortcuts while never being bashful about grabbing them when they appear. It's about pushing hard for wins and never apologising for your dreams.
Above all, Grede offers a new vision for work and life that encourages readers everywhere to take responsibility for their own thinking to achieve personal and professional success at the highest levels.

Plnohodnotný, dôstojný a radostný život seniorov si vyžaduje kvalitne pripravených odborníkov, ktorí budú schopní túto víziu napĺňať v každodennej praxi. Práve preto je táto učebnica adresovaná predovšetkým študentom odborov ako sociálna práca, psychológia, andragogika či ošetrovateľstvo, teda tým, ktorí stoja na začiatku tejto cesty. Zároveň je určená aj odborníkom pôsobiacim v zariadeniach sociálnych služieb a komunitných centrách, teda sociálnym pracovníkom, inštruktorom sociálnej rehabilitácie, psychológom, sociálnym andragógom/geragógom, ošetrovateľom a ďalším profesionálom, ktorí sa venujú seniorskej populácii.
Publikácia vychádza z aktuálnych teoretických východísk a ponúka čitateľovi ucelený pohľad na špecifickú intervenciu zameranú na seniorov – od jej charakteristiky, cez implementáciu, odporúčania, až po predstavenie komplexného programu.

The Faith of Beasts
From the multi-million-copy bestselling author of the Expanse comes the second book in the Captive's War series - a spectacular new space opera that sees humanity fighting for its survival in a war as old as the universe itself.
The monstrous Carryx empire was built by subjugation and war. Thousands of species are bound to their Sovran's command in an endless, blood-soaked test: be useful in the eternal conflict or be slaughtered.
Dafyd Alkhor, highest among their human captives, is feared and despised by the very people he champions. Ruthless in carving out his niche in the eternal war machine of the empire, he will reshape human nature itself as a tool for their alien masters' use. But Dafyd's loyalty is not what it seems.
The Swarm, an agent of the Carryx's deathless enemy, has been smuggled into the Carryx world-palace along with the human slaves. Its mission: discover a way to bring down the empire's eternal reign. But the longer it lives among and within humanity, the more it forgets that it is a weapon.
As the human captives spread through the battlefronts of empire, the awesome power of the Carryx becomes clear. And with it, a desperate plan for their destruction. But empires hide secrets, and even the deathless enemy may not be what it appears . . .

Famesick
In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.
For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was.
As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of Girls to the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience.
In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.
Out of the depths
Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima’amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima’amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs’ melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a ‘memorial stone for Polish Jewry’, the songbook is a timeless document of a people’s despair, hope and strength. -- .

These Spaceships Weren't Built For Us
“Chazaro transforms the ranfla, the hooptie, and the G-ride into a spaceship, a time machine. He points our gaze to the sky and we long to take flight while simultaneously holding onto our roots and what keeps our feet on the ground."—Joseph Rios, Fresno Poet Laureate and author of Shadowboxing: Poems & ImpersonationsIn These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro launches a speculative, lyrical odyssey through Latinx identity, diaspora, and memory, where the immigrant experience becomes a poetic voyage, rooted in resistance, love, and the enduring pull of home. In his newest poetry collection, These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro reconsiders the possibilities of space travel as the son of Mexican immigrants while navigating daily life across rapidly shifting social spaces. From barren gas stations in Central California during the height of the pandemic to faraway jungle planets governed by paleteros, Chazaro imagines the present and future in ways that are simultaneously bleak and dire, hopeful and beautiful, and seemingly, impossibly unrealized.
The Firearm Revolution
A groundbreaking account of how firearms changed Europe and the worldIn Renaissance Italy, the gun was not only a tool of war but also a desirable object, a luxury item carried at court. Guns were in use on the battlefield by 1440; later in that century Leonardo da Vinci sketched a design for a faster-firing, more portable handgun that could be hidden beneath a cloak. As the gun proliferated in society, it became both a means of self-defence and a threat to civic order. In The Firearm Revolution, historian Catherine Fletcher explores the emergence of firearms in Renaissance Italy and beyond, describing the social transformations that accompanied the evolution of the handgun from innovative military technology to widely used personal accessory. Fletcher shows that as guns became smaller and the new wheellock mechanism made concealed carry possible, Italian states increasingly tried to control their use—even as they viewed firearms as necessary for their militias. In the end, Fletcher reports, the importance of civic defence trumped the concern for social order. As guns became ever more acceptable, stories of how firearms aided Europeans’ overseas conquests created a new and more positive image for a weapon once considered the devil’s work. Debates over the regulation of firearms five centuries ago—which included arguments over the restriction of gun ownership, the use of guns for self-defence and the regulation of an armed militia—in many ways anticipate discussions about gun control today. Fletcher’s groundbreaking account sheds new light on how governments weighed the competing priorities of defence and social order as they set out to build empires.
Secure
What’s the secret to finding success, happiness and love? You need to feel SECURE. ‘Psychiatrist Amir Levine gives us a set of tools to help us feel more secure in all our relationships, not just romantic ones, but with colleagues, friends, family and even with ourselves.’ PHILIPPA PERRY‘In a world where so many people feel disconnected, this book explains why that hurts so much and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it.’ RANGAN CHATTERJEE‘It’s so good . . . I’ve read it cover-to-cover, back-to-front, upside-down, inside-out: it's great.’ CHRIS EVANSHow do you become more connected to the people around you, without the fear of being hurt? How can you stop overthinking and letting your emotions impair your judgement? Is it possible to learn emotional resilience? People with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skin. Living life in ‘secure mode’ enables them to cope more effectively with challenges across many areas of life – they’re healthier, less reactive, less driven by insecurity, and better able to navigate setbacks and even social media. It is as though they move through the world with a kind of resilient bubble around them. But new research reveals that your attachment style isn’t fixed. Anyone can become SECURE. In Secure, Dr Amir Levine – multimillion-copy-bestselling author of Attached, and the world’s leading expert on the clinical application of attachment science – introduces a transformative framework feeling more secure in your career, your friendships, your romantic life and beyond. Along the way, he makes a simple, revolutionary argument: when you harness the power of secure mode, you can create the life you want. It’s never too late to become SECURE. This book will show you how. What readers are saying? 'A holy grail book . . . essential reading for anyone wanting to work on themself.'? 'For anyone who has ever felt stuck in patterns of anxiety, avoidance or disconnection, this book offers something genuinely hopeful . . . It is, in the best sense, a practical guide to flourishing.'? 'I'm blown away by the real-life pearls packed into it . . . I can’t recommend it enough!'? 'A rare and compelling combination of neuroscience and clinical practice that I could not put down . . . Will make any avoidant or anxious person feel less shame and more understood.' ? 'This book will change your life.'More praise for Secure:‘A groundbreaking roadmap to emotional resilience . . . Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in between, this book helps you to shift into “secure mode” and thrive.’ CHARLES DUHIGG, bestselling author of The Power of Habit 'A profound new model for creating real, lasting security in our patients and in ourselves.' LORI GOTTLIEB, bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone‘A rare kind of guide: humane, hopeful, and immediately useful for anyone who wants to show up better for the people who matter most.’ AMY EDMONDSON, author of Right Kind of Wrong‘With science and compassion, Dr. Levine reveals the emotional grounding we need to live, work and lead with resilience. Secure offers a vital roadmap to the inner strength that makes sustainable success possible.’ ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, bestselling author of Thrive

Chrysalis
Dive back into this wicked retelling of Goldilocks from bestselling author B.B. Reid: a dark and steamy why choose romance featuring America's sweetheart and three dangerous mountain men.
Aurelia George was prepared to let the world believe she was dead. Tangled in the arms of her mountain men and bound only by the rules they make, the twice-disgraced pop star had found her happily ever after.
Or so she thought.
The only thing surprising about learning her uncle wants her dead is realising how eager she is to return the favour. Convincing her mountain men to leave their world behind and step into hers won't be easy. Thorin is desperate to disappear again, Khalil is quietly drowning, and Zeke wants her gone.
For better or worse, this quartet of villains will have to leave their Eden.
And now that the tables have turned, Aurelia's the one they'll need to survive. But as she and the rest of the world are about to learn, you can take these men out of the wilds, but you can't take the wilds out of them.
