Long Wave
A hypnotic and haunting story of longing and survival, losing yourself and finding your family'Daisy Johnson's best novel... a multi-generational story of secrets, obsessions, and love' Jeff VanderMeer'Astonishingly beautiful' Kaliane BradleyClose to the shore is the island: uninhabited, wild, with only a storm-beaten lighthouse for shelter. Ori was found there as a small child with a handful of stones, no memories and no mother. When she has a baby of her own, the job of motherhood feels immense and sleepless nights begin to shatter her grip on reality. Her head fills with the sound of stones knocking against each other and the mystery of her past begins to unravel, opening up a path to the mother she lost, and the mother she could become. Years earlier, on a sweltering summer day, ten-year-old Ruth sees a woman and her baby walk into the river and disappear. But she is the only witness, and the water yields no trace. Ruth’s mother, Edith, locks her daughter away – first to restrain these wild imaginings, and later, when she falls pregnant, to hide the shame. Ruth longs to escape and dreams of the nearby island, where she and her baby can finally be free. 'A novel of startling force' C Pam Zhang'An unflinchingly observed treatise on the maelstrom of motherhood. Masterful' Kiran Millwood Hargrave'A fierce and magical writer' Liz Berry'At once devastating and heartening' Helen Phillips

A Man for All Mountains
Sir John Laurence ‘Jack’ Longland (1905–1993) was one of the defining figures of British mountaineering and outdoor education in the twentieth century – a man whose influence reached from the highest mountains of the world to the classrooms, airwaves and policy rooms of post-war Britain. As a young climber, Jack Longland stood at the forefront of adventure. His eponymous climb on Clogwyn Du’r Arddu in North Wales in 1928 – the first on the crag’s imposing West Buttress – confirmed his standing among Britain’s leading rock climbers, while his 1930 ascent of Javelin Blade (E1) in Cwm Idwal was ahead of its time in terms of difficulty and boldness. Further from home, he was a member of the 1933 Everest expedition, gaining first-hand experience of the world’s highest mountain at a formative moment in Himalayan exploration; after helping to establish camp 6, he famously led his team of Sherpas down to the safety of camp 5 in a storm. His participation in the 1935 Greenland expedition further demonstrated a lifelong appetite for remote and demanding terrain. Yet Longland’s greatest legacy is how he connected mountaineering with public service. Appointed director of education for Dorset during the Second World War, and later for Derbyshire from 1949 to 1969, he became a visionary advocate for outdoor learning. In 1950 he founded White Hall, the first local authority outdoor pursuits centre in Britain, establishing a model that transformed access to the outdoors for generations of young people. He was knighted on his retirement in 1970. A respected leader within the climbing world, Longland served as chairman of the Mountain Leadership Training Board and of Plas y Brenin between 1964 and 1980, and as president of the Alpine Club from 1974 to 1976. His authority was matched by a gift for communication: he was a familiar and much-loved voice on BBC Radio, regularly contributing to Any Questions?, as well as chairing Country Questions in the 1940s and 1950s, and My Word! for twenty years from 1957. In A Man for All Mountains, the long-awaited biography of Jack Longland, Mark Lambert profiles a climber, educator and broadcaster united by a single belief: that mountains, landscapes and ideas are at their best when shared.

10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny
Všetci robíme chyby, no len málokto svojím prešľapom zmení chod dejín. Kniha 10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny prináša vtipný a osviežujúci výber neúmyselných pochybení, ktorým sa to podarilo – raz to bol rozchod, čo pochoval impérium, inokedy spánok poslal ku dnu pýchu lodiarstva.
Britský historik a komik Paul Coulter si posvietil na kľúčové postavy a udalosti posledných dvoch tisícročí. Za nablýskanou fasádou moci a egom božských rozmerov – či išlo o fascinujúcu Kleopatru, alebo o tragédiu Titanicu – sa totiž často skrývali až príliš obyčajné ľudské zlyhania.
Zabudnite na nudné učebnice. Prichádza dejepis, ktorý vás bude baviť: hitparáda katastrofálnych rozhodnutí, pomýleného hrdinstva a totálnej straty súdnosti. Autor rozpráva príbehy, ktoré formovali náš svet a mali priam neuveriteľné následky. Napokon, človeku sa hneď lepšie zaspáva s vedomím, že nech už dnes pokazil hocičo, najväčšie postavy histórie to dokázali zbabrať ešte oveľa ukážkovejšie.

Verranské ostrovy 1: Dědictví iluzí
Není mazlíčkem, kterého si ochočili.
Stala se šelmou, kterou pustili mezi sebe.
Pro celý svět je Iverson pouze králův „mazlíček“ – poslušná trofej, která mlčky sedí u jeho trůnu. Krása je však její prokletí a rubínový obojek na krku neviditelným poutem, které ji pevně svírá v rukou krále Baylora.
Aby Iverson přežila, musí zabíjet. Aby zvítězila, musí lhát. Existuje pouze jedna cesta ke svobodě: legendární zbraň almanova, po které bezúspěšně pátrají celé generace. Jedině ta je schopná přemoci sílu obojku. Iversonin osud se proplete s tajemným a nebezpečným Thornem.
Musí se rozhodnout: uzavře spojenectví s nepřítelem, který o ní ví víc, než by kdokoli měl? Jeho blízkost v ní probouzí neovladatelnou touhu. Zároveň odhaluje tajemství, která ji mohou zničit.
Iverson ví, že se Thorna nesmí dotknout. Protože každý, kdo to zkusil, zemřel. Zahubí se navzájem, nebo je pohltí spalující vášeň? Svoboda je na dosah, ale její cena se platí krví a duší.

Po nacistickom lekárovi Josefovi Mengelem sa po skončení druhej svetovej vojny zľahla zem. Jeho domovom sa stal štát So Paulo, kde sa obklopil po nemecky hovoriacimi európskymi imigrantmi, ktorí mu ochotne pomáhali až do smrti. Bola medzi nimi aj učiteľka v nemeckej škole Liselotte Bossert. Jej žiačka a autorka tejto knihy Betina Anton sa po mnohých rokoch, už ako úspešná novinárka, rozhodla preskúmať, ako sa najhľadanejšiemu nacistovi na svete darilo dlhé roky unikať pred spravodlivosťou.

Jadrom knihy je rozsiahla, viac než 150-stranová fotografická galéria. Každá strana predstavuje unikátnu hru svetla a tieňov. Zažite atmosféru, kedy sa ranná hmla lenivo prevaľuje nad hladinou Liptovskej Mary, zatiaľ čo majestátne štíty Vysokých a Nízkych Tatier či Chočských vrchov sa pomaly odhaľujú prvému slnku. Kniha zachytáva premeny Liptova nielen počas štyroch ročných období, ale doslova z minúty na minútu. Je to ideálny spôsob, ako spomaliť, nadýchnuť sa a prepojiť sa s autentickým duchom tohto regiónu.

Na stránkach knihy objavíte mozaiku príbehov liptovských miest a obcí, ako sú Liptovský Mikuláš, Ružomberok, Liptovský Hrádok, ale aj rázovitých dedín ako Bešeňová, Liptovský Ján, Lisková či Liptovské Revúce. Texty sú uvádzané v slovenskom aj anglickom jazyku, čo zvyšuje medzinárodný potenciál publikácie.
Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction
The first book-length examination of the theses developed by Louis Althusser and his collaborators on the processes of class-based educational formation and the function of schools. Drawing largely on unpublished writings that have been overlooked by scholars of both Althusser and critical pedagogy, Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction reveals that, for Althusser and the Groupe Spinoza, educational formation and the position of knowledge are central, decisive issues in understanding the real forces driving the mechanisms of social reproduction. This perspective enables a critical interrogation of knowledge transmission and opens up new possibilities for transformative educational practices.
Notebooks for the Grandchildren
Notebooks for the Grandchildren is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand what went wrong after the great Russian Revolution of 1917. Through the eyes of young Ukrainians like himself, who came of age fighting for the Revolution but were murdered in the late 1930s, Mikhail Baitalsky recounts the Revolution’s hopes—and its tragic unraveling under Stalin. He narrates how Stalin rose to power and carried out the “political counterrevolution” that silenced so many. Arrested three times by the Stalin regime, Baitalsky survived to tell the story of what happened.
