The Golf 100
So, who's the best of 'em all? Tiger Woods? Jack Nicklaus? Bobby Jones? Ben Hogan? Golf fans will disagree until the end of time, but one thing is certain: For well over 100 years, the sport has provided its share of spectacular careers and indelible moments. And what about fan favorites such as Phil Mickelson, Nancy Lopez, and Lee Trevino? Where do they rank on the list? Or modern players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Nelly Korda, and Justin Thomas. Did they make the final cut-and if so, where?
In a joyride through golf history itself, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arkush establishes a ranking system that places a heavy emphasis on the game's major championships and profiles the most accomplished and impactful golfers ever-men and women, known and unknown. Arkush captures the flair, as well as the flaws, of athletes who are intensely competitive, funny, peculiar, or larger-than-life. Crafted from hundreds of interviews and longtime relationships developed over a quarter century, The Golf 100 is an immensely entertaining read.
Cynefin
Reimagine our relationship with the natural world through the Welsh poetic tradition. At a time of biodiversity loss and climate grief, we need to reset our relationship with the natural world. Cynefin helps us hear the voices of people down the centuries who have, through poetry, expressed a different way of connecting with the living world around us. Carwyn Graves explores how the Welsh poetic tradition offers a different view of nature and connecting to our place in the world, and demonstrates its power to help us address the challenges we face. Find fresh perspectives from themes of grief and loss mediated through snow and the cuckoo’s song, to ecological sensibilities in medieval poems and the generosity of the water that drives the water wheel. In a thousand years of poetry we see the natural world portrayed not as a pristine realm but a human home; bittersweet as well as welcoming. Above all Carwyn invites us through these poems, to encounter the living world - in seagulls and sheepflocks, a lake or wheatfield - not in the abstract but in all its sparkling specificity
Do Blue
Surfing, swimming, fishing, we can't help but spend time in, or near, water. And now, growing scientific evidence for blue health supports what many of us already feel: being around water is good for us. Nick Hounsfield, the visionary founder of inland surfing lake, The Wave, knows this better than most. Shortly after it opened, he suffered a stroke, at the age of 46. Much of his recovery was in the water. In Do Blue, Nick tells his inspiring story, alongside Abby Richardson who overcame a fear of waves to find calm in cold water dips. Together they share practical ways to reconnect to blue, wherever you live, and meet the communities and individuals championing wellbeing through water. From the flow state of surfing, to the mindfulness of fishing and the exhilaration of cold water immersion, Do Blue reveals a multitude of ways to unlock the power of blue. Ready to dive in?

The Moon Blessed King
'An ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers'– Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong, on The Sun Blessed PrinceCan two rulers with power over life cheat death to save two nations locked in wa? rom Lindsey Byrd, The Moon Blessed King is a breathtaking, queer, slow-burn fantasy romance. Elician is crowned King of Soleb. But he’s secretly a Giver, capable of raising the dead, and it’s forbidden for Givers to rule. Despite this, he’s desperate to end the war with Alelune – and will marry Cat, a Reaper who can kill with a touch and Alelune’s rightful King, to do so. But before Cat can challenge his tyrannical brother for his throne, the goddess of Death unleashes a devastating plague on both nations. With Elician and Cat’s attention on Death herself, Elician’s Giver sister, Fen, is left behind to heal the sick of an uncertain nation still at war. In the face of this new responsibility, Fen must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to ensure Elician and Cat can succeed. As the death toll rises, and Alelune’s throne hangs in the balance, it’s a race against time to appease the wrath of a god – and the future of two countries is at stake. The Moon Blessed King is the stunning second fantasy in the A Tale of Two Crowns duology, following The Sun Blessed Prince. * * *PRAISE FOR The Sun Blessed Prince‘An outstanding slow-burn, character driven narrative’– T. L.

Bloodfeud in Scotland 1573-1625
Feuding had an effect on the history of most of Europe. Scotland provides a fascinating focus for the study of the bloodfeud because feuding survived until remarkably late there, and thus is much better documented than in other European societies. This examination of the Scottish evidence shows its relevance to the wider European community to which the Scots belonged, reveals much about the nature of the bloodfeud in general, and explores the changes in society which at last brought about its suppression. The bloodfeud has been the subject of anthropological rather than historical investigation, partly because it largely disappeared at an early stage in the development of literacy in Europe and has never been a fashionable research topic for historians. In this study of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century feud in Scotland, Keith Brown focuses on its context in society, politics and the ideology that served to uproot the tradition. The book will be of value to historians of many different cultures and periods.

Veľká blondínka a iné poviedky
Hoci patrí medzi najvýraznejšie postavy americkej literatúry prvej polovice 20. storočia, v našich končinách zostáva Dorothy Parker takmer neznáma. Jej autorský rukopis je pritom nezameniteľný – ostrý, vtipný, citlivý a zároveň sarkastický. Jej básne, poviedky a fejtóny pre časopis The New Yorker sú nielen detailným obrazom americkej mestskej inteligencie, ale aj prenikavou obžalobou dobového rasizmu a patriarchálnych vzťahov. I keď sa Dorothy Parker preslávila najmä svojím humorom, jej poviedky dokazujú, že ho používala najmä ako zbraň spoločenskej kritiky, ktorá dodnes nestratila nič zo svojej naliehavosti.
Veľká blondínka a iné poviedky prináša výber z autorkinej prózy prvýkrát v slovenčine.
