Zachránce tváří
"Od výstřelu prvního kulometu na západní frontě bylo jasné, že vojenská technologie mnohonásobně překonala možnosti lékařské vědy. Mnozí z vojáků první světové války, kteří průmyslové vraždění přežili, opouštěli armádu se znetvořením a těžko představitelným traumatem. Zatímco ztráta končetiny učiní z veterána hrdinu, člověk bez obličeje se stává monstrem. Ten, kdo mu tvář navrátí, zachrání jeho identitu i duši.
Válečná brutalita je živnou půdou lékařského pokroku. Dokladem je i příběh Harolda Gilliese, otce moderní plastické chirurgie. Gilliesovo oddělení v londýnské Královnině nemocnici se stalo laboratoří medicínských vynálezů a inovací a také prostředím, kde se setkávaly dramatické osudy pacientů, kteří se díky lékařově obětavosti a profesnímu umění navracejí zpět do života.
Stejně jako ve své předchozí knize Umění řezničiny píše historička vědy Lindsey Fitzharrisová sugestivně a jazykem blízkým beletrii."
Spiritual Tourism and Landscape
Rooted in ancient traditions, spiritual journeys have long served as powerful catalysts for self-reflection, cultural understanding, and personal growth. With an emphasis on the cognitive transformation that often accompanies such travels, this contributed volume provides both historical context and practical advice to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary spiritual tourism. Spiritual Tourism and Landscape synthesises age-old teachings with modern perspectives, offering readers a comprehensive framework for travellers on meaningful spiritual journeys. By presenting case studies and practical guidance, it encourages mindfulness and intentionality in travel, while addressing critical challenges like cultural appropriation, sustainability, and the commercialisation of sacred sites. Aimed at both academics and industry professionals, the international team of authors emphasises the importance of respect, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, fostering global empathy and personal transformation through well-guided spiritual exploration.

Put your courage to the sticking place and join author Grace Candido-Beecher as she pieces through every puzzle of Riddle’s life. From a childhood trapped in war-torn London, to an adolescence spent learning the finer points of manipulation.

This book shows you exactly how human he is. This book comes with blood-red sprayed edges.
Transforming Teacher Work
Recruitment and retention problems existed within the teaching sector before the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increasing number of teachers deciding to leave the profession for either early retirement, careers in other sectors, or for teaching jobs in other countries. However, the pandemic, and the period subsequent to it, have amplified the problems of a sector in crisis. Aimee Quickfall and Phil Wood offer insights into a profession overburdened by central diktat and performance management, and a system which is inefficient, overbearing and in many cases responsible for poor mental health and unsustainable pressures. Through a consideration of teachers’ experiences both during and after the pandemic they outline a policy direction concerning the work of teachers and leaders which is necessary to reorientate the education system in England to one which encourages individuals to become teachers, and which sustains them in a supportive professional environment once they are there. Transforming Teacher Work reflects on lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic to consider how we might renew and revitalise a failing system.

Wash
Fiction to look out for in 2026 —The ObserverHe is a boy growing up in rural Pennsylvania under the eye of a brutal, brilliant father. He is a young man at college, enduring the choices that have been made for him and finding brightness and beauty all the same. He is a soldier in a dreadful war who – despite that awful conflict – finds the extraordinary woman who was the love of his life, and her tale inextricably twines with his. He is an engineer who builds one of the great wonders of the modern world. His name is Washington Roebling. His life holds the possible and the impossible, what could be grasped and what could only be longed for. History holds one truth. Here is another. Forged in a brutal age, duty-bound to execute his domineering father’s vision of the life he must live, he joins forces with his brilliant wife Emily to overcome myriad obstacles to fulfilling his obligation, chief among them his own yearning to shed the burden of achieving a dream that was never his own. This is a book of growth, yearning, about the price of achievement, about the road not taken. Beads on the necklace of a life are strung together to create a composite portrait not only of Washington but of those who loved him: Emily of course, but Max too – a young man whose spirit will haunt him for the rest of his life. Here duty and desire, love and obligation, intersect and contradict each other. With subtle narrative and powerful, vivid prose it offers an invitation to enter a complex world, so that readers may see their own histories, their own choices, their own possibilities, mirrored in this compelling text. Wash is a richly imagined and intimate book about a singular life – built from as many intricately linked elements as the iconic Brooklyn Bridge that is its hero's lasting legacy.

The Book of Cannabis
In The Book of Cannabis, Jeremy Narby - renowned author of The Cosmic Serpent - delivers a sweeping, clear-eyed exploration of cannabis as both plant and cultural phenomenon. He traces its path from ancient medicinal and ritualistic roles to its place at the centre of debates over wellness, law, and culture in the present day, revealing how cannabis became one of the most controversial plants in history. With the global shift toward legalisation, Narby dives into the latest science on cannabis’s therapeutic potential and risks, especially in the era of high-potency strains and edibles. He unpacks the plant’s transformation through selective breeding and examines its evolving impact on health, society, and the environment. The book also explores the implications of cannabis's changing legal status and its intersection with issues of social justice and public policy. Accessible, nuanced, and deeply informed, this is essential reading for cannabis users, industry professionals, educators, and policymakers alike. Narby’s anthropological lens offers a unique perspective on the plant's journey, making The Book of Cannabis a vital guide to understanding cannabis in all its complexity.

Names and Faces
Who are you? What are you? And how does it feel to be you? Leise Hook was asked these intrusive questions so many times growing up that they haunted her like ghosts. Born to a Chinese mother and white American father, and growing up in Michigan, Tokyo, and Virginia, Leise Hook was never sure where she fit in. More white passing than her Chinese friends and family, but with the Mandarin skills of a native speaker, she was constantly exceeding some expectations while failing to meet others. From moving to Beijing, to dying her hair blonde, to exploring self portraiture, Hook struggles to figure out who she is and where she belongs. In the vein of Cathy Park Hong and Gene Luen Yang, Hook’s graphic memoir-in-essays rendered via her signature, award-winning style, explores what it means to come of age as a mixed-race woman, forging a singular identity in a world intent on putting her into ill-fitting boxes.

Nevyžádaná pošta
Kdybyste dostali dopis, který rozloží všechny vaše vztahy i pečlivě udržované iluze, otevřeli byste ho? Max, Adina a Michal to udělají a budou toho nejednou litovat. Jak dopadne divoká týdenní jízda promiskuitního workoholika, labilní hysterky a zahořklého vegana, kteří musí spojit síly, aby odhalili dávno zapomenutou pravdu o své minulosti? Co mají společného kromě komplikovaných vztahů se svými otci? A je těžší odpustit těm, které nenávidíme, těm, které milujeme, anebo sami sobě? Tři postavy se střídají ve vyprávění svých příběhů skrze vlastní specifický jazyk – někdy analytický, jindy chaoticky introspektivní nebo odevzdaně sarkastický. Nevyžádaná pošta je ironicky něžný román o vině, kterou si neseme, rodinách, které si nevybíráme, a dopisech, které by možná bylo lepší nikdy neotevřít.

Focusing won’t be easy, but I’ll need to find a way, because failure is not an option. Failure, means death. Cam's adventure continues in The Stone Secret.

The Magic of Makeup
For anyone who first learned to do their makeup in the era of frosted lips and over-tweezed brows, makeup guru Erica Taylor is here to help you save face. With decades of experience as a professional makeup artist, Erica has been teaching millions of fellow “mature women” how to de-age their makeup routines through her informative TikTok videos. Showcasing techniques and products on her own face, especially her popular before and after demonstrations, millennial and Gen X women (and even gen-alphas in their late 20s) are learning how to reduce the effects of aging rather than accidentally enhance them. With sarcasm, frankness and a “we got this, ladies!” encouraging tone, Erica teaches women how to reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness, how to prep their skin to lock in moisture for a smooth base, where to place blush and bronzer for the fastest face lift ever, and so much more. From concealer color theory to how to choose the right foundation to avoid dullness and dryness, readers will find answers to every makeup question they can think of. With Erica’s entertaining voice and clear visuals bringing excitement to each page, readers will inject youth into their makeup routine and de-age their face with just the swipe of a brush.
Normalization of the Global Far Right
Exploring how the boundary between the extremist far right and centre-right parties and politics became blurred, Normalization of the Global Far Right: Pandemic Disruption deconstructs one of the most pressing issues of today: the rise of the far right. Taking a critical look at the ‘normalisation’ of far-right thinking underpinned by gendered racisms, Vieten and Poynting trace the emergence of transnational far right populist movements and how these have been shaped by European colonialism, white supremacy, and ideological legacies of the Empire alike.
For the Love of the Grind
But success has never come easy. Fear of failure set in during high school. In college, Sara competed through a results-obsessed culture that carried into her professional career. She battled anxiety and imposter syndrome, alongside outside pressure to quit the sport and instead devote herself to supporting her husband, Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall, and later, her kids. Yet Sara never gave up on the dream of reaching her potential. Fueled by faith, family, and an unbridled love of exploring her limits, Sara has proven the doubters wrong at every turn. When she and Ryan adopted four daughters from Ethiopia, motherhood only made her faster, running personal bests year after year and landing on podiums at the world’s most competitive races. Along the way, she discovered that choosing love over fear allowed her to take risks. For the Love of the Grind is a love letter to running, and the story of Sara’s growth as an athlete, wife, and mum.
Drámák
Lehet-e úgy beszélni a legfontosabb dolgokról, mintha az utcán, a kocsmában, az iskolában vagy otthon, a konyhában beszélgetnénk? Háy János drámái azt mutatják meg, hogy igen, sőt talán csak úgy lehet igazán.
Hősei nem kivételes emberek, hanem olyanok, akik többnyire észrevétlenek maradnak: a peremre szorultak, a dühösek, a reménykedők, a szeretetre vágyók. Esendők és kiszolgáltatottak, néha még akár nevetségesek is, mégis megrendítően emberiek, ezért ismerünk bennük magunkra olyan könnyen.
A kötetben szereplő drámák egyszerre nyersen és költőien szólnak családról, kudarcról, vágyról és magányról. Történetek rólunk: arról, milyen nehéz felnőni, szeretni és szabadnak lenni.
