Art: The Whole Story
An accessible and hugely popular history of art explained through many of the world's most famous masterpieces.
Written by an international team of artists, art historians and curators, this absorbing and beautiful book gives readers unparalleled insights into the world's most iconic artworks. Art: The Whole Story traces the development of art period by period, with the illustrated text covering every genre, from painting and sculpture to conceptual art and performance art. Cultural timelines are there too, to help to the reader with historical context.
Masterpieces that epitomize each period or movement are highlighted and analysed in detail. Everything from use of colour and visual metaphors to technical innovations is explained, enabling you to interpret the meanings of world-famous masterpieces - Mughal miniatures; Japanese prints in the 19th century; the colour theories behind Seurat's remarkable La Grande Jatte; and why Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon was so shocking in its day.

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.

Together they share practical ways to reconnect to blue, wherever you live, and meet the communities and individuals championing wellbeing through water.

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. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead‘Delicious romance and thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning'– Publishers WeeklyReaders have also fallen in love with The Sun Blessed Prince:‘Really excellent political/epic fantasy with the slowest, *softest* slow burn queer romantic subplot’‘I absolutely love the magic system’‘There were plot twists after plot twists, my jaw literally was on the ground for half of it’‘Made me sob to the point where I had to stop reading for a second’‘I just loved it’
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.

The Nonprofit Crisis
A bracing look at what''s gone wrong in American nonprofits--and how it might be fixed.We rely on nonprofits every day to feed the hungry, care for the sick, and perform a host of other essential work, but American nonprofits have been under siege in recent years. Attacked by the left (for being part of the "nonprofit industrial complex") and the right (for advancing a "woke" agenda), nonprofits have also faced a serious threat from within: a rising generation of staffers who expect their employers to share their social justice convictions.In The Nonprofit Crisis, Greg Berman takes an in-depth look at the challenges faced by American nonprofits in the years since Donald Trump''s first election. It highlights the very real problems that have plagued the nonprofit sector and shows how some organizations have lost their way during the culture wars. Berman, an award-winning nonprofit executive, argues that if nonprofit leaders cannot figure out a way to handle the challenges of racial justice, the generational divide, and political polarization effectively, we are doomed to a future of declining public trust in some of our most important American institutions. The Nonprofit Crisis offers nonprofits, and those that care about them, a way forward in trying times.
Good Girl Syndrome
I've always been told that if I was good, I'd attract good things. So then, why am I unhappy?
From a young age, women are taught to put everyone else first. The result? A society full of 'Good Girls', pushing themselves to meet expectations while ignoring their own needs. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this whip-smart and empowering book, psychotherapist Marta Martinez Novoa explains that people pleasing is not a personality failing, but a common response to trauma - an instinct to become more appealing to a threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do.
If you're done being a people pleaser and ready to start living for you, this is your toolkit to wake up and finally take charge.
The Lordship of Galloway
In viewing Galloway from the wider context of the northern British mainland, Irish Sea and wider Hebridean zone, it has been possible to explore the dynamics of state-building, dynastic interactions, and the close inter-relationships of the territories connected by the western seaways, which most traditional ’national’ histories obscure. From this wider perspective, the development of the lordship of Galloway can be considered in the context of the spreading power and regional rivalries of English, Irish and Scottish kings, and a reassessment of the emergence of the unitary lordship controlled by Fergus of Galloway and his family. Traditional interpretations of the relationship of Fergus and his successors with the kings of England and Scotland are challenged and new light is thrown on the beginnings of the processes of progressive domination of Galloway by, and integration into, the kingdom of the Scots. The end of the autonomous lordship in the 1230s is projected against the backdrop of the aggressive state-building activities of King Alexander II and the transformation of its rulers from independently minded princes and warlords into Anglo-Scottish barons.

Maisie Dobbsová
Seznamte se s Maisie Dobbsovou. Odvážná a bystrá vyšetřovatelka řeší svůj první případ, který otevírá uznávanou sérii klasických detektivních románů v duchu Agathy Christie.
Londýn 1929. Maisie si otevírá vlastní vyšetřovatelskou kancelář. Během první světové války pracovala v polní nemocnici. Naučila se tam však víc než jen ošetřovat rány.
Je inteligentní, vnímavá a dokáže vycítit to, co druzí skrývají…někdy i sami před sebou.
První případ vypadá jednoduše. Vážený londýnský gentleman je přesvědčen, že jeho žena něco tají. Pátrání však Maisie zavede z přepychových salonů hluboko do minulosti: k příběhu, který začal ve stínu války a zanechal rány, jež se nikdy zcela nezahojily.Maisie ví, že pravda není jen otázkou důkazů. Někdy je otázkou odvahy. A srdce.
Jacqueline Winspear pochází z anglického Kentu a proslavila se oceňovanou historickou detektivní sérií o Maisie Dobbsové, která si získala čtenáře po celém světě. K tématu první světové války ji přivedly příběhy jejího dědečka, který bojoval na západní frontě – i proto mají její romány mimořádnou lidskost a autenticitu. Za svůj debut Maisie Dobbsová získala mimo jiné cenu Agatha Award, prestižní ocenění udělované nejlepším detektivkám v duchu Agathy Christie. Série patří mezi bestsellery The New York Times.
