Swimming the Seasons
To swim is an act of attention: to the self, and to everything beyond it. Follow poet and nature writer Polly Atkin as she swims through the turning year in the rivers, lakes and tarns of the English Lake District, in this lyrical ode to the uplifting power of water. This is a love story between a person and a place. It is a story of acceptance, persistence and finding joy in the everyday, as eight years of outdoor swimming through every season deepen Atkin’s knowledge and understanding of both the landscape she calls home and her disabled body. Each month in the water reveals how a life lived with pain can be as rich, rewarding and full of delight as any other. Atkin swims for the sheer pleasure of it, showing how that pleasure may be found in every season, even by those who find the cold neither thrilling nor soothing. She reminds us of the quiet power of noticing the lives alongside ours — birds, plants and people. And through paying attention to herself and to the living world around her, she finds swimming becomes a transformative force, a kind of natural magic through which the extraordinary is revealed day after day, year after year.

In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing
In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing. Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts and photographs, cult performance and autobiography, it traces the journey through the everyday theatre of Kim Noble's life. As his art world escapades spiral from a gallery in Helsinki to hardware stores in London and a desolate English beach, romance fizzes and reality unravels. Here, fantasy and fact tangle in hand-drawn chaos, and the book itself becomes an artefact-proof of an unreal real life. At once absurd and touching, Kim Noble's journey is less a memoir and more a treasure hunt through the weird tides of love, loneliness, and the art of staying afloat. And in the margins of the page lurks a sardonic cephalopod, who crumples the story with inky interruptions and astute commentary on the unfolding adventures.
This Dark Night
'Seamless and compelling' -- Spectator'This biography is a wonderful book' -- GuardianThe author of Wuthering Heights and strangest of the Brontë sisters is brought back to life in this stormy biography set amongst the wild moors of Yorkshire. Emily Jane Brontë was just 27 when she started writing the wayward and electric novel Wuthering Heights. Three years later, she was dead. Out of step with her own time and remembered as the strangest of the Brontë sisters, there's much that we don't know about her — most of her papers were destroyed after her death. But as Deborah Lutz explores in this, one of the first biographies of Emily in 20 years, the writing that has survived seethes with storm and strife and with the beautifully desolate landscape of Yorkshire. Drawing on a vast quantity of unexplored archival materials, Deborah reconstructs the texture of Emily Brontë's days, bringing us closer to one of the greatest and fiercest writers we have, by showing us her creative process and her confidence in her strange art. This book has much to reveal to readers of Wuthering Heights, as we accompany Emily around the wild moorlands she loved so much. Also threaded through with the contemporary politics and events of the era (from the early labour movements of the Chartists and reformists, to the slave uprisings in the colonies), and authors and locals that Emily read about or knew (from proto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft to the masculine lesbian Anne Lister). Featuring illuminating readings of her poems, This Dark Night takes us inside the world of Emily's irrepressible spirit and wild imagination.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967
The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967
In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated.
Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization.
This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti - deník a pracovní sešit
Co kdyby skutečnou příčinou vašeho utrpení nebyly vnější okolnosti, lidé ani minulost nebo budoucnost, ale vaše vlastní myšlení?
Kniha, kterou máte před sebou, přináší radikálně jednoduchý a zároveň hluboký pohled na lidskou psychiku: myšlenky jsou samy o sobě neutrálními informacemi a teprve přemýšlení o nich vytváří bolest a vyvolává strach, pochybnosti a úzkost.
Deník a pracovní sešit Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti nabízí srozumitelné a okamžitě použitelné techniky ke zklidnění mysli a postupného zbavení se duševního utrpení. Je praktickým průvodcem pro každého, kdo se cítí zahlcen tlakem, stresem či nároky současné doby a hledá jednoduchou, ale účinnou cestu k osvobození se od mentální bolesti.
Velkou inspirací je přístup Josepha Nguyena, autora knihy a mentora zaměřeného na osobní transformaci a vnitřní svobodu. Spisovatel je známý svým důrazem na jednoduchost a praktičnost – učí, že skutečný klid nevzniká změnou okolností, nýbrž změnou vztahu k vlastním myšlenkám. Jeho práce vychází z principu, že utrpení je často výsledkem nepozorovaných mentálních vzorců, které lze vědomě opustit. Díky jeho přístupu pochopíte, že klid není něco, co musíte složitě hledat, ale přirozený stav, k němuž se můžete navrátit.
Pokud toužíte po větší životní rovnováze, lepším spánku a svobodě od přetížení, právě držíte v rukou první krok ke změně.

But it's not a skill she takes seriously until the FBI come knocking - they've begun a classified program that uses exceptional teens to crack infamous cold cases, and they want her to join. What Cassie doesn't realize is that there's more at risk than a few unsolved homicides. Sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own, she quickly realizes no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. Emotion-reader Michael is a wild card - and far too perceptive for Cassie's good. The resident deception-detector is a pathological liar, and the program's perky, blonde statistician is far better with numbers than with people. And then there's Dean - a profiler like Cassie but with a much darker gift. When a new killer strikes, danger looms close. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.
