A Good Morning for Giddo
When Somaya and her beloved Giddo (Arabic word for grandfather) make their weekly trip to the market, Somaya is impatient to get to the tentmaker’s stall; she needs help to complete a birthday surprise for Giddo, but Giddo prefers to take his time to visit his many friends. At first Somaya is frustrated by the delay, but soon she sees the importance of checking in on friends. Like Hajj Mohammed who sells shimmery pots of ink and is sad since his son moved to a faraway land. “Good morning with roses and jasmine,” Hajj Mohammed greets them before inviting Somaya to choose a pen; Somaya bleeds a special birthday message onto paper for Giddo while he and Hajj Mohammed answer the call to prayer. Next, they visit the jeweller. All around sparkling abalone fill baskets like treasure boxes. “Good morning of sweet cream, dearest Somaya,” Mariam says as she strings together a beautiful necklace. Giddo decides to stay for tea with Mariam’s father. Somaya loves listening to their chatter as the minty tea dazzles her tongue. At last, they reach the tentmaker’s stall. Sunlight splashes through the covered roof onto the rainbow of fabrics lining both sides of the narrow alleyway. As Giddo oohs and ahhs over Ammu Safwat’s new designs, Somaya heads straight for his apprentice to get help with the final flourish of her gift to Giddo. Finally, they are on their way home where Somaya and her parents surprise Giddo with a cake and Somaya’s special gift showing Giddo, the best tentmaker of them all, that she’s now a tentmaker too!
More Than Flower Power
Diane J. Purvis's memoir offers a unique view from the Los Angeles County suburbs as she was coming of age during the era of civil rights activism, the women's movement, and Vietnam anti-war movement. More than Flower Power recalls the youthful energy that surged in the 1960s as political and cultural tensions rose to the surface. Her parents, Midwest transplants to California, sought the postwar American dream and went from pinching pennies to living in upper middle-class suburbs, which were imbued with rigid social and political codes. Purvis rejected this conservative bias while attending racially integrated schools and witnessing the dichotomy between suburban and inner-city students, motivating her to embrace social justice. Purvis and her peers were influenced by images of the Vietnam War and political protests they saw on television and the music they heard on their transistor radios, two emerging technologies that shaped popular perceptions during this tumultuous decade. Purvis was possessed by the desire to make a difference even though inroads to social and political equality looked impossible in the face of America's cultural consensus and conformism of the era. Through the lens of one person's experience, More than Flower Power offers an intimate portrait of a West Coast generation's optimism, idealism, and transformative influence on American culture and society.

Lost London
An engaging, beautifully illustrated history of London told through twenty-five lost buildingsLondon has been rebuilt and reshaped perhaps more than any other city over its two-millennia history. From the construction of the Underground to slum clearance and the Blitz, buildings have long been damaged or demolished to pave way for the new. Today, demolition is big business, and around 3500 buildings are destroyed each year, most of which are social housing. Paul Knox traces the history of London from the Great Fire to the present day through twenty-five lost buildings. Knox explores surprising and unusual locations in the city’s history, like the Necropolis Station in Waterloo used by funeral parties traveling to a burial ground in Surrey. We see historic landmarks, like Christ Church Greyfriars and the Crystal Palace, as well as everyday places like the White Horse pub in Poplar and a housing estate in Hackney. This is a fascinating study of London’s restless landscape, showing how conservation has changed over 400 years.
Důvěřuj mi
Jmenuju se Reed Madden. Na pódiu jsem hvězda a v zákulisí rozbitý člověk. Hudba mě vytáhla z temnoty, ale nikdy mě z ní úplně nevysvobodila. Jedu na plný plyn – nekonečné turné, miliony fanoušků, tlak a minulost, před kterou nemůžu utéct… A pak se objeví ona… Žena, která by neměla patřit do mého světa, a přesto v něm zapálila světlo, o kterém jsem ani nevěděl, že ho postrádám. Já jsem chaos, ona je klid. Její dotek mě uzemňuje, její úsměv mě nutí věřit, že i já si zasloužím víc než jen přechodné chvíle. Ale každý den se znovu probouzím s vědomím, že svět, ve kterém žiju, nakonec pohltí i ji. A láska? Ta nemusí stačit. Jak mám někomu slíbit budoucnost, když sám sebe sotva držím pohromadě?
V zajetí Pradávných
Občas si připadám jako černá kočka, s drápky připravenými vždy k útoku. City? Ty jsem dávno zamkla kdesi v hlubinách svého srdce, protože v mém světě se taková slabost neodpouští. Přála jsem si být nezávislá, jenže teď mě svazuje síla pouta… a já nenávidím, že bolí tak sladce.***Chtěl jsem jen klid, ticho a čas na zhojení starých jizev. Místo toho mi Bohyně předhodila dívku, která by mě nejraději zabila pouhým pohledem – nebo svou vůní. Nebezpečně se mi dostává pod kůži. Ve dne si lezeme na nervy, v noci se vzájemně spalujeme. A někde mezi tou nevraživostí roste něco, co si ani jeden z nás nechce přiznat.
Klíč ke svobodě
Byla jsem uvězněná v manželství, které mělo zlaté mříže a přísná pravidla. Jediné, co mi paradoxně dávalo pocit volnosti, byla má práce zdravotní sestry ve vězení. A právě tam, mezi zdmi plnými zoufalství a utrpení, jsem po setkání s nebezpečným mužem odsouzeným na doživotí pochopila, že i na tom nejtemnějším místě může vzplanout touha po svobodě, po lásce… i po zakázaném doteku.

The Seventh Sister
From the author of The Madness comes a haunting folk horror fable of lost sisters, old gods, and the terrible power of belief left to rot in the woods. After the tragic death of their parents, the seven Ward sisters are sent to live with their grandmother on the remote forest island of Beltane, a place suspended between time and shadow. What begins as an attempt to mend their fractured lives soon twists into a waking nightmare, where grief bleeds into childhood fantasy and ancient rites awaken a dark and eerie devotion to Daudir, the Forgotten God of the Wood. When another cruel tragedy strikes, the sisters are left to fend for themselves, learning to live with death as a constant, lurking presence. The fragile world they’ve carved splinters beneath the weight of isolation, and the forest around them grows restless…Years later, a cryptic letter summons the surviving sisters home. Drawn back into the wild embrace of their dangerous faith, they confront a truth more terrible than memory, and the dreadful secret that waits, silent and sentient, in the depths of the all-seeing trees. This lyrical and haunting folk horror explores how trauma can root itself in the soil of childhood, how love can curdle into obsession, and how gods, especially forgotten ones, never stay buried for long. But at its heart, it’s about sisters: how they fracture, survive, return, and reckon with what they’ve made together.

Self-Portrait as the "i" in Florida
". . . formally various and deliciously propulsive." —Kaveh AkbarA love letter to Miami and a meditation on fatherhood, Self-Portrait as the “i” in Florida paints a vivid picture of contemporary South Florida in all its contradictions and beauty. Selected by Major Jackson as the winner of the Donald Justice Poetry Prize, Cunningham’s second collection weaves together ecological and familial landscapes, capturing both the spectacle—burning sugarcane fields, snake farms, chaotic highways—and the daily rituals that bind a family: school drop-offs, sick days, and small kindnesses. Blending formalist and free verse, the book becomes both an inquiry into belonging and a celebration of the essential everyday moments that define a life. At once panoramic and deeply personal, Cunningham writes with a documentarian’s eye and a father’s heart.

Hybridy a kyborgové mezi přírodou a kulturou
Vratislav Moudr se ve své knize věnuje vztahu přírody a kultury, přičemž vychází z evoluční ontologie Josefa Šmajse, která zdůrazňuje jejich nesourodou povahu. Tuto perspektivu autor textu rozvíjí zavedením konceptu hybridity, jenž umožňuje lépe porozumět strukturám vznikajícím na pomezí těchto dvou řádů. Moudr se zaměřuje nejen na genetické, psychické a ekosystémové hybridy, ale také na roli člověka jako jedinečného hybridu. Člověk pro něj není jen hybridem. Díky transformaci lidské psychiky kulturou, která proniká celou její šíří i hloubkou, ho v textu pojímá jako kyborga. Osobnost člověka je tu chápána jako sociokulturní produkt, kterým kultura člověka disciplinuje a řídí jeho činnost v souladu se svými systémovými zájmy udržovat se v čase a růst.
Kniha představuje nejen pečlivý návrh revize evoluční ontologie, ale zároveň také odpověď na některé výzvy spojené se sociálním konstrukcionalismem. Její autor ukazuje, že zatímco konstrukcionalismus mnohdy rozpouští hranice mezi přírodou a kulturou, přístup evoluční ontologie naopak zdůrazňuje jejich nesourodost a umožňuje uchopit hybridní entity včetně kyborga jako reálné produkty interakce těchto dvou řádů. V souladu s apelem evoluční ontologie kniha volá po zásadní změně směřující k biofilní kultuře, která by respektovala jak konfliktní vztah kultury s přírodou, tak také mimořádné postavení hybridů a člověka v tomto vztahu. Přispívá tak k debatě o udržitelnosti a odpovědnosti za příští generace lidí.
