HOW TO KILL A WITCH
As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and with many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.
Inspired to correct this historic injustice, campaigners and writers Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree. In order to understand why it happened, they have broken down the entire horrifying process, step-by-step, from identification of individuals, to their accusation, 'pricking', torture, confessions, execution and beyond.
With characteristically sharp wit and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the persecutors, often men, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women, and how this legally sanctioned victimisation proliferated in Scotland and around the world.
With testimony from a small army of experts, pen portraits of the women accused, trial transcripts, witness accounts and the documents that set the legal grounds for the hunts, How to Kill A Witch builds to form a rich patchwork of tragic stories, helping us comprehend the underlying reasons for this terrible injustice, and raises the serious question - could it ever happen again?

Slova
Byl to talentovaný rebel, kterého všichni chtěli. Já byla bezvýznamná šprtka, kterou všichni nenáviděli. On byl předurčený stát se hvězdou. Já jsem byla předurčena zůstat bezvýznamnou nýmandkou. Dokud mě nepřesvědčil, že jsem výjimečná... A pak mě zničil. Nikdy jsem si nemyslela, že Phoenixe ještě někdy uvidím, poté co mi zlomil srdce, ale osud měl jiné plány. Jedno turné. Osm týdnů. Nespočet příležitostí, jak mu to oplatit. Svět si myslel, že je bůh... Ale já znala pravdu.

Cipruskoporsó
Nagynénje hosszan tartó, súlyos betegségét követő halála után Elinor Carlisle hatalmas vagyont örököl. Ám lehet, hogy mindezt már nem tudja élvezni, ugyanis gyilkosság vádjával áll a bíróság előtt. Ő az egyetlen gyanúsított, mivel féltékenységéből adódóan kizárólag neki lehetett oka a fiatal és szép Mary Gerrard, Laura néni felolvasónőjének a megölésére. A vádat csak súlyosbítja, hogy nagynénje – közvetlenül a halála előtt – módosítani akarta a végrendeletét Mary javára. Az indíték egyértelmű, minden Elinor ellen szól – de akad valaki, aki váltig hisz Elinor ártatlanságában: Peter Lord, Laura néni kezelőorvosa. A doktor, hogy megmentse Elinort a már biztosnak látszó ítélettől, nem kisebb szakértőt bíz meg a védelem oldalán, mint a nagy Hercule Poirot-t.

Curious Cats and Fantastical Felines

Throughout history, cats have been revered and reviled and everything in between. Worshipped as divine, blamed for plague and pestilence, or labelled as the demonic companions of witches - whether fair or foul, no other animal has attracted such consistent attention, a fact strongly illustrated by the vast number of myths, legends, sayings, superstitions and tales that exist regarding these enigmatic creatures.
Today, mankind is no less under the feline thrall, with cat memes, videos and celebrity cat accounts numbering amongst the highest-ranking entertainment across the internet. Unknown to many, this cultural fascination has a deep and rich history that spans continents and millennia. Discover the roots of this age-old captivation with our feline counterparts and why they have been loved - or otherwise - by so many.

Part of DK's indispensable Big Ideas series, The Geography Book answers these questions and many more.
The perfect introduction to the subject, it explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped Earth's geology, climate, and ecosystems, and the numerous ways in which they have shaped our lives, and we have shaped them in return - for better or worse. Combining easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes, it covers everything from geological mapping and the water cycle to climate change and population demographics.
This fascinating book includes:
• More than 90 of the most important ideas, theories, and milestones in the field of geography - covering physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, and practical geography

The Child-Healthy Divorce
A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, but for children that doesn’t make the split any easier. Legal decisions have emotional consequences. Well-meaning parents can become hostile, insecure, or jealous, and well-adjusted kids can grieve the loss of the family unit, rage at the pain that they feel, or prey on parental guilt.
In The Child-Healthy Divorce, acclaimed psychoanalyst and award-winning author Erica Komisar marshals more than 30 years of clinical experience and extensive research to show readers how to make an effective plan that centres children’s needs, including how to talk about what’s happening, how to maintain normal routines, and what to know about kids of different ages. For example, interrupting a child’s attachment with the primary caregiver before age three can lead to behavioural problems later in life. Teens going to college also need a stable home as a foundation to establish their own independence.
With numerous case studies and practical strategies, the book shows parents how to create age-appropriate custody arrangements, reassure kids without invalidating their feelings, and build a positive support system. It also provides helpful guidance about new partners, blended families, and other special situations. Most importantly, it offers hope.
No one with kids wants a divorce, but if that step becomes necessary, this book can help readers establish the emotional security that their children need for success in life.

Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”
