Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)
A handbook for how to organize to meet immediate needs in your community and work toward lasting change.
Around the world, people are faced with crisis after crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to or actively engineer each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable members of their communities.
This survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid has been a part of all larger, powerful social movements, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Mutual aid isn't charity: it's a form of organizing where people get to create new systems of care and generosity so we can survive.

Starside
The stunning standard edition of Starside, with illustrated endpapers, a special hardcover case design and jacket effects. Enter the enchanting and deadly world of Starside, where swords have magic and power isn’t inherited – it’s claimed, from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster. Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals – the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic. Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest for magic that can heal, grant wealth or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance against the gods who killed her family. Winning one of the fifty spots on the quest won’t be easy. An orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, Aris doesn’t have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords, ones that contain power, are not inherited or bought – they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor... but a target. Countless dangers await on Starside. With a blade most would kill to take, Aris can’t trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious knight who betrayed her years ago – and who may now be the key to her survival. But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family’s death. And when it’s revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what’s coming... Starside was an instant No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller w/e 4th April 2026.
Mollie Brumley's Civil War
Mollie Brumley, a thirteen-year-old orphan, was living on a farm in the mountainous Ozarks of northwest Arkansas when the Civil War broke out. In a borderland region on the northern periphery of slavery and the western edge of white settlement, her corner of Arkansas saw terrible destruction—but not primarily from fighting between opposing armies. Mollie Brumley's Civil War was one of guerilla warfare and outlawry, shifting loyalties, betrayals real and imagined, and, for some, death by starvation. In telling Mollie's story, drawing largely upon her 1901 autobiography, Theodore Catton offers a rare intimate look at the heroism and desperation of war conducted on the home front—all amidst the anything-but-ordinary romantic adventures of an adolescent who lived during an extraordinary time. In the course of this riveting narrative, Mollie—while still in her teens—falls in love with one Confederate soldier who is lost in battle, marries another who joins the Rebel guerrillas, and leaves the farm to become an army laundress during escalating guerrilla depredations against her home and family. Intertwined with Mollie's tale is that of Parthenia Hensley, an enslaved young woman living in the same rural community. The story of Parthenia and her white family of enslavers broadens Catton's portrait of a war-torn community of farmers on the edge of the Slave South. An unprecedented picture of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi West, Mollie Brumley's Civil War is also a remarkable coming-of-age story shaped by the fight against slavery—a fight that Mollie didn't choose but that finally influenced the person she became and the outcome of her life.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
A foundling son. A forbidden love. A coveted inheritance.
Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are wrong for each other in every way, yet inexplicably drawn together by a force stronger than themselves. Their love is passionate, dark, obsessive … and a threat to Catherine’s brother Hindley, who banishes Heathcliff, determined to make sure Wuthering Heights is his after their father’s death.
But when Heathcliff returns with money and a burning desire for both Catherine and revenge, his only goal is to take what’s his and bring retribution to all involved.
Told from the perspective of Lockwood at Thrushcross Grange on the desolate and stark Yorkshire Moors years after the events at Wuthering Heights, this English literature classic explores the relationship between love, revenge and desire, and the long-lasting effects on its residents’ heirs.

Dal jsem ti oči, a tys je upřela do temnot
Oceňovaný folk horor z katalánských kopců oslavuje ženské tělo ve všech podobách a rozbíjí stereotypy o ženské identitě. br Zatuchlý vzduch statku prostupuje vůně tymiánu a obětovaného kozla. Stařičká Bernadeta umírá a ženy rodu Clavellových chystají hostinu, aby ji na druhém břehu přivítaly jaksepatří. V bujarém podsvětí se prolínají groteskní výjevy se vzpomínkami, které odhalují rodová tajemství. Matriarcha Joana kdysi uzavřela pakt s ďáblem, aby získala dokonalého muže. Jenže po veselce zjistila, že Bernadímu Clavellovi chybí jeden prst na noze, a tak svou část dohody nedodržela. Na všechny ženy z rodu proto padla kletba: Bernadeta vidí věci, které by neměla, Margarita je vzteklá, protože má tříčtvrteční srdce, a Blančina ústa bez jazyka připomínají prázdné hnízdo.br Vypravěčský hlas bloudí statkem jako vánek a lehce stírá hranice mezi mrtvými a živými, minulostí a přítomností, skutečností a tím, čemu chceme věřit. Legendy a rčení putují napříč generacemi, aby nám připomněly, kdo jsme. Odkud vychází světlo a kde číhá temnota.

Matters of Truth
In Matters of Truth, Carlo Agostoni explores the frames and narratives shaping our understanding of whistleblowing, truth-telling, and their cultural histories. Narratives of whistleblowing are stories of truth-telling, first and foremost, but they are also stories of complication and conflicts of interest. The whistleblower is remedy and cure for some and poison and treason for others. But the anchor of the whistleblower is the immensity of factuality?-?an anchor that pulls him down and turns him into a tragic hero. But truth-telling is not the dominant frame surrounding whistleblowing in media, scholarship, nor politics. One of the dominant frames used to describe whistleblowing is leaking. Frames are not just words; they constitute the cognitive structures we think with. Framing a social phenomenon as 'leaking'?taps into our neural circuitry and a hidden realm of deep narratives. It is therefore imperative to study these narratives and frames that rule our unconscious and yield moral narratives we are commonly unaware of -?especially with a sociocultural phenomenon such as whistleblowing. Drawing on a wealth of examples and a wide range of philosophers, sociologists, cognitive linguists, literary critics, historians, and social psychologists, Carlo Agostoni analyzes the cultural narratives about whistleblowers that ignite explosions of truth and justice and the frames we use to defame them -?both knowingly and unknowingly. Words matter. Narratives matter. Especially in matters of truth.
