Cottagecore Gardens
A home does not end at its doorsteps. Cottagecore Gardens picks up where Cottagecore left off, shifting from interiors to the outdoor spaces that frame and sustain them. Courtyards, edible plots, meadows, and off-grid enclaves reveal a logic shaped by time and care rather than design rules. Loose borders and self-seeded paths speak to gardens that evolve with time and use. Together they embody a broader cultural turn toward slower, more intentional living, where the garden becomes refuge, resource, and extension of home.

Dispatches and Dictators
Oregon Book Award Winner for General NonfictionDispatches and Dictators uncovers the fascinating story of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune’s European correspondent, who served in Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, and London in the years between the two world wars. Barnes has been praised by colleagues and competitors alike as one of the best reporters of that pivotal era. But since his death in the 1940 crash of a British bomber in Yugoslavia, he has been largely forgotten. With persistence and unusually keen insight, Ralph Barnes reported on Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the events leading to World War II. Stalin confined Barnes to Moscow for disclosing that millions were dying during the Soviet collectivization of agriculture, and Hitler expelled Barnes from Germany for predicting the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union. In Dispatches and Dictators, historian Barbara Mahoney chronicles the short life and brilliant career of Ralph Barnes. Her biography of this extraordinary reporter provides new insights into the tumultuous decade leading up to World War II.
The Enchanted April
''To Those who Appreciate Wistaria and Sunshine. Small medieval castle on the shores of the Mediterranean to be let For the month of April, above a bay on the Italian Riviera.''Four very different women--the dishevelled and downtrodden Mrs Wilkins, the sad, sweet-faced Mrs Arbuthnot, the formidable widow Mrs Fisher, and the ravishing socialite Lady Caroline Dester--are drawn to the shores of the Mediterranean that April. As each, in turn, blossoms in the warmth of the Italian spring and finds their spirits stirring, quite unexpected changes occur.The Enchanted April (1922) is a deceptive and timely novel immured in a post-war context, a period noted for its wistful and sometimes satiric writings. Von Arnim''s novel is part of this oeuvre and portrays an escape to a carefully described pastoral enclave away from encroaching urbanisation and the spread of new technologies, in an era when the Great War had left many emotionally and physically starved. The journey to San Salvatore by four unhappy women is an escape from stifling parochialism, constraining social and gendered expectations as well as stultifying insularity, but the evocation of an extraordinarily aesthetic and ''enchanted'' location suggests more than personal recuperation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Shipped off to India
Signing up for a lifetime in India was a sacrifice, no less for the men than for the women they married. What made that sacrifice worthwhile for the young Richard Temple were qualities now seen as old-fashioned: a belief in God and a sense of purpose, inculcated by the East India College, Haileybury. Convinced it was his duty to do good, he set out to work on behalf of the Company, India and the Indians, all too soon made aware by the tumults of 1857 that the land to which he had committed his life was changing forever. One of the most articulate and energetic men of his generation, he would later, as Sir Richard Temple, serve as Finance Minister, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and Governor of Bombay. Accompany him through the demanding formative years and his tragically brief marriage, until, aged only thirty-six, he was entrusted with sole control of a whole region to govern.
The Killer in the House
In this chilling domestic thriller debut, a young woman working as a housekeeper—for the subject of a trending true crime podcast—finds herself in a deadly mess when the truth catches up to the hype. Renee Beale is done settling for dead-end jobs and living on her parents’ tree farm in rural Virginia. But just as her life starts to look up, personal tragedy knocks her back down. Desperate for an escape, her only prospect is working for a wealthy Richmond couple with a deadly backstory. Ed Weatherup is a family man, successful, and the perfect employer—except for the fact that he may quite possibly be a murderer. He served five years for his wife’s death before the Innocent Blood podcast helped overturn his conviction. Now he’s back home with his second wife and blended family, vowing publicly to find the real killer. With her past coming to collect, Renee has no choice but to become the Weatherups’ new housekeeper. Suddenly privy to their family secrets and furtive phone calls, she turns to the podcast to learn more about her mysterious employers. But the details don’t add up. And the closer Renee gets to the truth, the more sure she becomes that the killer will strike again.
The Difference Place Makes
How do places shape peacebuilding interventions? Put simply, they are eventful. Geographers have long argued that places are constituted by relations with the wider world, relations that are always in flux. In this theoretically and empirically innovative book Adam Moore argues that the inverse is also true: places are of generative of relations. People and institutions are constituted by their relations with places, relations that extend beyond a particular place in question itself. Drawing on relational and processual perspectives across the social sciences, Moore analyzes the effects that an infamous black market in postwar Bosnia—the Arizona market—had on peacebuilding projects and actors, and sociopolitical relations across the country more generally. Through encounters with, and narratives about, the market, the relations and politics of various actors in Bosnia at the time—from the UN to ordinary citizens—were transformed. Arizona's effects also radiated across time and space, even after it was dismantled, influencing political and social relations in Bosnia and further afield up to the present day. Bringing together scholarship in geography and peace and conflict studies, this book is a must-read for both fields and beyond.
Complete Deer Stalker
Deer stalking entails much more than walking the countryside with a rifle; there is a great deal to be considered prior to lacing boots and donning a green fleece. It is often said that the real work starts after the trigger has been squeezed. This book looks at all aspects of the pursuit, with clear explanations accompanied by advice, images and anecdotes. In addition, there is a unique reference chapter of all potential conditions a deer may suffer from, with full descriptions and images, and advice on suitability for entering the food chain. Specific coverage includes: laws, leases and making a start obtaining an FAC: the necessary equipment in this technological age; deer species, with identifying images; deer senses and how they shape our approach to them; shot placement and maximum shooting distances; the importance of bullet design and its effect on the carcass; stalking activities by month through the year; after the stalk - sticking, initial evisceration, inspection and recovery; at the larder - hygiene, and who needs to register as a food business and finally, inspecting the carcass, with a library of images showing conditions.

Prokletý deník
Když se autor hororů Thad McAlister pustil do psaní své nejnovější knihy vycházející z čarodějnických procesů v Massachusetts, plynula slova sama od sebe. Příběh se valil vpřed a zaplňoval stránku za stránkou skutky té nejděsivější postavy, kterou jeho představivost kdy stvořila. Bylo to jeho největší dílo, takové, které by mu zajistilo místo mezi legendami žánru.
Šlo však skutečně o fikci?
Neúmyslně otevřel dveře do světa, jenž měl brzy ohrozit životy jeho blízkých.
Ona se chce vrátit.
Jeho žena doma bojuje, aby udržela jejich rodinu naživu. Ve skrytu duše však přemýšlí, zda to vše nezpůsobila sama… obchodem, který uzavřela před dávnou dobou.
ÚRYVEK Z DENÍKU CLAYTONA STONA – 1692
Dnes byla vyslýchána bez mučení v městysi Shadow Cove na základě obvinění z čarodějnictví. Tvrdila, že se toho zločinu nedopustila a nikdy v životě se nezřekla Boha. Díval jsem se, jak ji vyvádějí ven. Ubohou, neduživou bytost, vyčerpanou časem stráveným za zdmi žaláře. Bosé nohy a ruce měla spoutané koženými řemeny, oděv rozervaný na cáry. Navzdory svému stavu šla s hlavou vztyčenou a hleděla svým žalobcům zpříma do očí. Stále odmítá prozradit své jméno, takže nemůžeme vyhledat záznam o jejím křtu, a nemá ani rodinu, jež by předstoupila a označila ji za svou. Nemáme důvod věřit, že je něčím jiným než sirotkem. Shledávám, že na ni ve chvílích předcházejících jejímu procesu nedokáži pohlédnout zpříma. Ona mě však sleduje očima v odstínu té nejtmavší modři.

První kniha čtyřdílné fantasy ságy, která je jako dělaná pro fanoušky Amuletu a Lightfallu
Ve světě, kde se kouzelný původ krutě trestá, musí mladý chlapec jménem Wynd skrývat svou pravou identitu — přestože to znamená, že nikdy nepovede život, po jakém touží. Když je však jeho tajemství ohroženo, opustí svůj domov ve městě Rourov a po boku své nejlepší kamarádky Oakley a následníka trůnu Yorika se vydá na nebezpečnou výpravu, která ho uvrhne doprostřed královského spiknutí. V patách mají tajemného Zafačovaného, vyhlášeného lovce všech kouzelných „divnokrevných“ bytostí.
Nedobrovolné dobrodruhy čeká putování po říši jménem Esseriel, kde kdysi držela nad lidmi ochrannou ruku čtyři větrná božstva. Pak ovšem Bůh Hlubokého lesa stvořil rasy fúrií nebo upírů a lidská království se začala hroutit. A právě tajemství Wyndova původu možná souvisí s osudem celé říše.

Canada in the Age of Rum
Awash in a sea of rum describes the years between the 1670s and the 1830s in the colonies that would later become Canada. Millions of litres of the sugar-based liquor were imported every year to supply a comparatively small population of colonists and Indigenous people. Why rum, and why so muc? um was cheap and plentiful. Intimately connected to the West Indian slave plantation complex, rum shipped to early Canada and around the Atlantic World was part of the early modern expansion of intercontinental trade known as the first globalization. Canada in the Age of Rum shows what happened to the vast quantities that came to Canadian shores. Rum was especially important to workers in the early Canadian staples industries. Fishermen and fur-trade voyageurs drank rum in massive quantities, supplied on credit and at grossly inflated prices by their employers, an arrangement that served to claw back wages and ensure the profitability of enterprises that would not have been viable otherwise. Traders deliberately sought to get hunting peoples hooked on rum in order to ensure a steady supply of pelts – alcohol was not so much a commodity for sale as it was a gift used to induce hunters to conform to the ways of the capitalist economy. However, Indigenous people drank rum in their own ways and for their own reasons; and when drinking became a serious social problem, they organized to resist it. The story ends in the 1830s when the combined effects of the temperance movement and the rise of whisky led to a sharp decline in rum consumption. This brilliant history follows the thread of a single commodity from West Indian plantations to Newfoundland, Quebec, and the west, revealing rum as a critical lubricant of the social life of early Canada and its particular version of early capitalism.
