Hip to the Trip
This fully revised and updated edition of Peter B. Dedek's classic is a thorough dive into the history and current delights of America's Road in time for its 100th birthday!In 2026, Route 66 reached a major mile marker: it has celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary. Commissioned by the federal government as US Highway 66 in 1926, Route 66 has weathered many bumps in the road. The old road even survived a near-death experience in 1985 when it was bypassed by interstate highways and officially decommissioned only to rise again as a historic landmark and symbol of the independent American spirit and America’s love affair with the automobile. Although much along the historic highway has been lost over the years, Route 66 still has a lot to offer. Old motels, vacant gas stations, vintage restaurants, and decayed tourist traps have been preserved and transformed into sites of reverence and memory. In the past few decades, the highway has evolved into a linear community, a heritage corridor, an American route of pilgrimage sustained by a series of preserved landmarks visited by tourists from all over the world. More recently built museums, visitors’ centers, roadside parks, and Route 66–themed businesses offer tourists the chance to experience myriad aspects of the highway and the ideas it represents. This book examines the many meanings of Route 66 and how they relate to its past, present, and future. More an idea than a highway, Route 66 symbolizes a sense of freedom and benign rebellion against the constrained routines of modern life, a place where one can wander and live in the moment. The old road also represents community, wholesome enjoyment, and an entrepreneurial, independent spirit. Route 66 is a road of stories and legends.

Hexes of the Deadwood Forest
Anna Frenza hates the tyrannical tree huggers and idiotic eco-warriors, after all, she's CEO of Poland's biggest oil company.

Deep in the past, she falls in with Mathilde Spalt, leader of the Earthen Ones - a congregation of women who live in the woods and reject all patriarchy. Instead engaging in the ecstatic, sensuous worship of Mother Earth. Anna learns to love the forest she had once dismissed . . . until the Church decides to fell the trees and all the women within it.
Bold and entirely unexpected, Hexes of the Deadwood Forest is a collective rebellion, the death knell to the elevation of the erect. Take hold of your seat; patriarchy is coming to an end.

Spojenie „chlapčenskej nevinnosti" a tragickej životnej skúsenosti v ľúbostnom vzťahu je nečakaným a neželaným, ale na druhej strane aj osudovým mostom medzi zločinmi minulosti a prítomnosťou, v ktorej a ktorou žijeme.

Álomkastély Franciaországban
Gyöngyöző pezsgő, meleg vajas croissant és egy kis je ne sais quoi…
Hattie Carter-Jones szívét összetörték. Méghozzá apró darabokra. Testileg-lelkileg mélyponton van, úgy érzi, menedékre van szüksége, ahol a sebeit nyalogathatja. Így aztán kapva kap barátnője ajánlatán, hogy szervezze meg az esküvőjét, méghozzá a franciaországi Champagne régió egyik álomszép kastélyában.
Hattie semmire sem vágyik kevésbé, mint a romantikára, arra meg végképp nem számít, hogy a szívdöglesztő Luc Brémont besétál az életébe. A simogató napsütésben eltöltött piknikeken és a helyi piacon tett séták során, az ínycsiklandó illatok kavalkádjában azonban felötlik benne, hogy elképzelhető, hogy nem csupán menedékre van szüksége, hanem egy kellemes nyári flörtre is. Vagy talán egy kicsit még annál is többre...
The Rivaled Crown - A rivális korona - Éldekorált kiadás
Éldekorált kiadás
Megesküdtem, hogy soha többé nem lépem át ennek a palotának a küszöbét. Hogy soha többé nem hódolok be apámnak.
De mégis visszahurcoltak ebbe az aranykalitkába, ahol az uralma alatt görnyedek egy olyan sorshoz láncolva, amely elől oly sokszor menekültem.
A testem az övé, hogy összetörje; a mágiám az övé, hogy a szolgálatába hajtsa. És bármennyi éjen át álmodom is arról, hogy Dacre áttöri a palota kapuit, és kimenekít a sötétségből, az álmok mit sem érnek egy király kapzsiságával szemben…
Még ha a társam el is jön értem, és megszabadulok apám markából, nem tudom, marad-e bármi belőlem, amit érdemes lehet megmenteni.
A királyság haldoklik.
A föld kiszárad az elorzott mágia súlya alatt, és apám uralma nem érhet véget vérontás nélkül.
De túl sokáig éltem már a sötétben.
És nem arra születtem, hogy elhervadjak – hanem arra, hogy lángra lobbanjak.
A History of the Fedon Rebellion
In 1795, an attempted revolution in the British colony of Grenada took place, led by the enigmatic Julien Fédon. While ultimately unsuccessful, this bloody uprising shifted the balance of power in the Caribbean and fundamentally changed the way the British crown ran its colonies. But what might have happened had Fédon's rebellion played out differently, with a more consistent message on enslaved emancipation and mixed-race empowermen? n this compelling new book, historian Kit Candlin tells the captivating story of the rebellion in Grenada, full of secret plans and clandestine meetings, frayed nerves and paranoia, in a highly unstable, interconnected world. Its protagonists form a diverse collection of transient adventurers, itinerant planters, free people of colour and the enslaved – the flotsam of one of the most polyglot, contested and liminal places in the Atlantic World. While not as well known as its Haitian counterpart, the Grenadian revolution played a crucial role in shaping the British Empire, and understanding its history brings further nuance and context to the bitter legacy of colonialism in the region. Candlin's rich tale of what happened – and what might have been – is not to be missed by anyone interested in the Caribbean in the Age of Revolution.
Saved (Paperback)
On 19 November 1995, the world learned the name Gianluigi Buffon. At the tender age of seventeen he made his Serie A debut for Parma against European giants Milan, facing down the likes of Roberto Baggio and George Weah, keeping a clean sheet. During his twenty-eight-year long career Buffon broke many records including:
- The most capped goalkeeper of all time and the most appearance for Italy (176)
- The most Serie A titles (10)
- The longest time in Serie A without conceding a goal (974 minutes)
The numbers, however, only tell half the story of a player famously nicknamed "Superman" for his athletic prowess.
In Saved Buffon reveals that even superheroes struggle with their inner demons. Beyond his individual triumphs with Parma, Juventus and PSG - the famous World Cup win in 2006 - Buffon reflects on his deeply human challenges off the pitch.
He describes being devoured by depression between games and the psychological toll of being a goalkeeper - the loneliest position in football - often finding solace in talking to his gloves. He opens up about his gambling, smoking during matches and the strains on his relationships which became fodder for the press. Buffon's are the struggles of a man whose talents and flaws co-exit.
Saved is both a meditation on the art of goalkeeping and a love letter to the golden age of Italian football.
A History of the Sikhs Vol 1 (SECOND EDITION)
The new second edition volume one 1469-1839 is updated to the present recounts the return of the community to the mainstream of national life. Written in Khushwant Singh''s trademark style to be accessible to a general, non-scholarly audience, the book is based on scholarly archival research. This volume covers the social, religious and political background which led to the formation of the Sikh faith in the fifteenth century. Basing his account on original documents in Persian, Gurmukhi and English, the author traces the growth of Sikhism and tells of the compilation of its sacred scriptures in the Granth Sahib. The transformation of the Sikhs from a pacifist sect to a militant group called the Khasla led by Guru Gobind Singh is portrayed in detail.
From Getting Started to Graduation
From Getting Started to Graduation: A Student Guide to the EdD, a volume in The Coming of Age of the Education Doctorate Series book series, pulls back the curtain on the hidden curriculum of the EdD experience for students, fully supporting their journeys by making what is too often anxious and abstract more clear and concrete. Drawing from years of experience from designing and directing an EdD program, the authors provide an end-to-end playbook for students to draw from as they navigate their own EdD program of choice. Part I focuses on getting started. The book begins with an establishment of the why behind getting an EdD and how this is a distinct and unique experience unlike other graduate degrees. It pushes readers to think beyond the title, encouraging them to drill down into their core motivation for pursuing not just a degree but a transformative experience. Readers will then learn about finding the match quality between their goals and aspirations and the myriad program choices available to them. Once students have winnowed down their choices and found their fit, they will be coached on how to build survival systems that will help them thrive from the onset to the finish line. This includes learning how to pace themselves, how to lean on friends and family, how to create contingency plans, and how to create helpful constraints that make room for work-life balance. The book closes Part I with helpful tips for time and resource management, as well as how to build routines and habits that allow them to be kind of their future selves. Part II explicitly explores how to navigate this years-long quest and stay the course. Readers will learn how to get curious and keep that door open across coursework in order to allow for innovative and creative ideas to flourish and eventually lead to fusion—the key to creative thinking. With the door opened to ideas and exploration, the book sets the stage for how to become a scholar-practitioner through key habits of mind such as the what-if and maybe mindset and tackling the tough task of synthesis. Part II ends with the call to team up and to take this winding road together. The EdD experience can be lonely if students go it alone, and the volume explains how and why teaming up is not just nice but necessary to persevere as the way to reach the finish line. Finally, Part III pivots to helping students survive the intensive thinking, researching, and writing demands of the dissertation. Readers will tap into years of tips and tricks on how to break this mystifying and monstrous project into sizable and achievable small steps that fuel motivation for the long haul so that students avoid burnout during the final push as they near defending their projects and crushing their comps. When finished, EdD students will be able to leverage what is too often hidden from students and draw from the concrete examples, strategies, stories, and templates therein in order to start strong and finish strong. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Research; Research Methodology; Introduction to the EdD; The Scholar-Practitioner; Exploring Problems of Practice; Becoming a Change Agent
Doing Good
Doing Good is a bold call for a new social contract in a world buckling under the weight of multiple crises – geopolitical tension, ecological collapse, technological disruption, growing inequality, and the slow erosion of liberal democracy. The promises of modernity, once rooted in the convergence of technoscientific progress and liberal capitalism, have failed to deliver widespread peace and prosperity. Instead, we face an uncertain future that demands radical rethinking. Markus Gabriel offers a daring yet pragmatic vision: a New Enlightenment that fuses ethical insight with market forces. We don't need to abandon capitalism, but we need a revolution within capitalism itself: ethical capitalism. This is a form of capitalism that does not merely accommodate morality but thrives on it – generating profit by doing good. Rejecting the temptation to vilify capitalism, Gabriel reframes it as a system ripe for moral evolution. Doing business is not exempt from ethical responsibility. Ethical business is not only more just: it is economically smarter too. Businesses that solve real problems, respect planetary boundaries, and promote human flourishing are better positioned for long-term success than those that pursue short-term gain through exploitation or extraction. Ethical capitalism is not a utopian fantasy: it is a realistic, actionable path that rejects authoritarian alternatives while advancing a richer conception of freedom. Gabriel thus opens the way to a new eco-social liberalism, one grounded in what we actually know about ourselves as prosocial, value-producing animals. Doing Good is both a warning and a manifesto for those determined to steer humanity toward a future worth inheriting.
The Language of War
When everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice?
'We were so happy and didn't know it…'
A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come.
The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive.
Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

Spojenci českých zemí
České střemhlavé bombardéry na odvrácené straně světa
V polovině 19. století svět postihla katastrofa. Celé části zemského povrchy byly vymazány, hladiny oceánů se zvedly. Zanikly celé státy, jiné vznikly. Jedním z nich bylo Česko-slovenské království.
V polovině 20. století je z království námořní velmoc s koloniemi a državami po celém světě. Poslední dva roky vede Česko-slovenské království válku s carským Ruskem. Nyní se oči obou velmocí upínají k americkému kontinentu. Boje mezi Brazílií a Jihoamerickou lidovou federací přilákaly zájem obou mocností, zatímco Panamské království i Kalifornská republika se snaží udržet neutralitu.
Do Amerik míří české i ruské loďstvo. Válka už zasahuje do celého světa a České země budou potřebovat spojence.
