Equine
A compassionate, insightful guide to humanity’s relationship with the horse, with evidence-based training tips. Weaving together science, history and narrative, Equine traces our bond with the horse across 6000 years of co-existence. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery, from the evolutionary beginnings of Eohippus, the Dawn Horse through to the domestication of horses, their use during wartime, and their place in our lives today. The book opens with a detailed look at the evolution of the horse, with fascinating insight into how particular characteristics and traits evolved to become today’s modern animal: fast, vigilant, and with a strong herd instinct. The horse’s brain, senses and abilities are all fully explored. In the book’s second half, the author turns her considerable expertise to how the horse learns, and helps readers understand proven, effective and compassionate training methods for the animals they work with. Through her focus on welfare, and by making accessible the complex science of ethology and training, experienced trainer and author Portland Jones entices readers to share the awe and wonder she experiences when working with horses. Equine is for anyone who works with horses, rides them, or simply admires this most beautiful of creatures.

Letters from the Last Apothecary (Tressport Magic, Book 1)
EMILY WILDE meets DIVINE RIVALS in this debut cozy historical romantic fantasy about a grumpy apothecarist, the whirlwind woman who comes to save his shop, and the letters that secretly unite them. You've Got Mail with a magical twist! Nestled between steel skyscrapers lies a small shop stocked with old magic and experimental elixirs. This cozy historical romantic fantasy debut is a tale of mistaken identity, reluctant partnership, and the quiet, transformative magic of being truly seen—on and off the page. Josephine Pinova doesn’t believe in fate. Yet, it must be fate when she walks into one of the last magical apothecaries in the city and they offer her a job after she’s just been fired. Struggling against a tide of anti-magic sentiment amidst the city's rapid industrialization, the shop is slated to close in six short months unless Josie can save it. Luckily, she's no stranger to impossible odd—she's applying to study magic at the local university, something women are typically excluded from—even as the shop's prickly apothecarist, Aufidius Reid, seems determined to dislike her. Reid finds her unbearably insistent. She finds him infuriatingly uptight—nothing like the sensitive scholar Josie has been exchanging anonymous letters with as they study together for entrance to a graduate magic program. A scholar who just so happens to be Reid himself, unbeknownst to either of them. Letter by letter, they fall in love. But at work, Josie and Reid clash constantly about the direction of the business. As pressure rises, they discover the threat to the shop is more dangerous than they could have ever imagined, and working together to save it might be their only chance at true purpose, and at each other.

Instructions for the End of the World
Contemporary responses to biblical texts offer hope and guidance in difficult times.When lifelong activist and celebrated author Maggie Helwig became an Anglican priest, she brought both her social justice wisdom and her incomparable literary prowess to the role. Where other priests might make of the homily – the weekly act of taking pre-assigned sections of an ancient and sometimes cryptic biblical text and making them speak to their time, their place, their community – a rote exercise, Helwig takes the language and narrative very seriously. These homilies, selected from those presented to her congregation over the last five years, talk about the Bible, and by extension, the world, through both an activist and a literary lens.‘Instructions for the End of the World’ is how Helwig describes the gospels. As we live through the climate crisis and the rise of fascism around the world, Helwig’s responses to the ancient texts feel urgent and necessary, reminders of hope and meaning during a time of great anxiety and fear. Whether you’re religious or not, these homilies offer a basis for resistance and resources for building communities that may sustain us all.
A Gyűjtő
Légy óvatos, nehogy bekerülj Dr. Burnett gyűjteményébe...
1826, Edinburgh. Isobel Tait egy rendhagyó orvosi gyűjtemény vitrinjében egy üvegbe zárt gyermekszívet pillant meg. A szív ritka rendellenessége kísértetiesen megegyezik a hónapokkal korábban eltűnt kisfia betegségével.
A városban egyre több ember tűnik el nyomtalanul, miközben Dr. Burnett, a hírhedt anatómus, újabb és újabb preparátumokkal bővíti bizarr kollekcióját. De vajon meddig hajlandó elmenni a tudomány nevében?
Isobel az orvos alkalmazottjaként férkőzik közel a titkaihoz, hogy megtudja az igazságot. Amit azonban felfedez, az minden képzeletét felülmúlja. Egy pokoli világ tárul fel előtte, ahol a tudomány szörnyű árnyékot vet az emberi lelkiismeretre.
Sötét hangulatú, érzelmekkel átszőtt történelmi krimi, amely mesterien egyensúlyoz igazság és megszállottság, anyai szeretet és bosszúvágy határán.

Amikor a népszerű londoni magazin céltudatos, ám visszahúzódó szerkesztőnője és a sikeres, közvetlen New York-i fotóművész útja keresztezi egymást, fogalmuk sincs arról, hogy ez lesz az a bizonyos találkozás. A férfi ugyanis foglalt, a nő pedig ki nem állhatja az öntelt fotóst. De mi van akkor, ha a férfi már nem foglalt – és talán soha nem is volt öntelt?
A szakmájában sikeres és magabiztos két ember a magánéletben addig botladozik, mígnem egymás karjában kötnek ki. Mindenki meg van róla győződve, hogy egymásnak teremtették őket, és végre ők is elhiszik. Amikor azonban a pár rájön, hogy egyikük Londonban képzeli el a jövőt, és a családot akar, míg a másik Los Angelesről álmodik jegygyűrű és gyerek nélkül, ráeszmélnek, hogy az életnek talán más tervei vannak.
Miközben saját meggyőződésük mellett a múlt sötét titkai és a jelen tragédiái beárnyékolják a boldogságukat, el kell dönteniük: elég-e a szerelem, ha két ember ugyanannyira vágyik egymásra, mint amennyire fél elveszíteni önmagát? Mit tehet, aki rájön, hogy saját boldogsága útjában áll?
Két idősík, két makacs ember, egy szerelem.
Red Card
The World Cup is here, but what function does a worldwide tournament play in an increasingly belligerent police state, with Donald Trump at the hel? ublishing on the eve of the soccer World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, this concise, power-packed philippic provides a critical take on the dark underbelly of the beautiful game at its most storied moment. At the heart of this analysis by acclaimed sportswriter and scholar Jules Boykoff, who himself played soccer professionally, is the concept of sportswashing, where political leaders use sports to stoke nationalism and legitimize themselves on the world stage, deflecting from chronic problems at home. Step forward the recipient of the newly cast FIFA Peace Prize, Donald J. Trump, a titan unrivaled in squeegeeing every drop of personal wealth and prestige from hosting the competition. In this, he is ably assisted by a governing body of global soccer dripping in patronage and corruption. In these pages Boykoff demonstrates that it is possible to simultaneously treasure the skills and athleticism displayed on the pitch while lamenting their exploitation by malevolent powerbrokers for whom love of the game means nothing next to turning a buck or harvesting prestige. And, as Red Card so skillfully shows, this bait and switch is not confined to soccer. Precisely the same legerdemain will be used to distract and enrich when the Olympic Games come to Los Angeles two years from now.
The Gilded City of Dreams
In 1920s Manhattan, a young fairy godmother is caught in an evil conspiracy to control her sisterhood’s magic in a sweeping historical fantasy by the bestselling author of The Vine Witch. Unlike most dreamers, Celeste made it in Hollywood—albeit as a Fée Gardienne in a magical, centuries-old sisterhood. Yet her excitement is tempered by the death of the Gardiennes’ leader, making Celeste and her fellow fairy godmother Anais caretakers of the sacred elder staff. Charged with returning the ancient relic to Paris, they set off for New York City to catch a steamship to France. But the 1920s Big Apple roars with danger in ways Celeste and Anais never anticipated. Upon their arrival, a street urchin steals the staff and disappears into the shadows. When Anais taps into her rebellious streak to search for the thief on her own, she falls into the clutches of a mysterious band of kidnappers who are seemingly aware of the magical possibilities the stolen staff can offer. To find Anais and retrieve the enchanted heart of the sisterhood, Celeste must rely on her wits, her magic, and her trust in a stranger—even if it means putting her friend at risk.
A fény magányossága
1975, Budapest, az űrverseny végén. A hidegháború enyhülni látszik, az Apollo–Szojuz-korszak a technológiai együttműködés illúzióját kínálja, a hétköznapokat mégis az alkalmazkodás, a hallgatás és a kimondatlan határok szabják meg.
Kajetán Andor csillagász a magyar tudományos élet egyik legismertebb arca: a Csillagvizsgáló Intézet büszkesége, a televízió kedvence. A felszín alatt ugyanakkor gyász és depresszió gyötri, rossz döntések és kétes alkuk következménye, melyek mélyen a múltjába nyúlnak. És hamarosan ismét útelágazáshoz érkezik, egy újabb rossz döntés pedig már az egész hátralévő életére és szakmai munkájára végzetes kihatással lehet.
Andor ugyanis a munkáján túl a katonai felderítés informátora, aki külföldi útjairól hazatérve beszámol a történésekről, és jelentéseket ír kinti kollégáiról. Egyik este a tartótisztje megkeresi azzal, hogy a rendszer meghálálná eddigi tetteit, és arra kérik, fejezze be volt kollégája és barátja, Kemenesi György tanulmányát, mely jelentős tudományos felfedezést ígér a Végső Sors-elmélet kutatásában, ami az univerzum tágulását vizsgálja.
Kovács Krisztián valós eseményeken alapuló történelmi regénye lélektani tanulmány tudományos kíváncsiságról és lojalitásról, apaságról és elhallgatásról, nagyívű története Budapest második világháborús bombázásától a Szputnyik fellövésén át egészen a holdra szállásig, majd még annál is tovább vezet. A fény magányossága ugyanakkor feszült thriller arról, hogyan válik erkölcsi csapdává a határok feszegetése, és milyen árat fizet az, aki áruba bocsátja tehetségét a politikai hatalom számára.
A fény ugyanis nem válogat: nemcsak megvilágít, hanem le is leplez.

Spravedlivý růst
Rovné šance, efektivní reformy a prosperita širší společnosti jako lék na politickou strnulost Česko si udržuje spoustu drahých nespravedlností. Chudé děti mají malou šanci získat kvalitní vzdělání. Nízkopříjmové zaměstnance drtí daňový systém. Rodiče, cizince i předlužené vytlačuje legislativa z trhu práce. Veřejné systémy nemotivují ke zdravotní prevenci ani ekonomické iniciativě. Nic z toho už nemůžeme nazývat slepými skvrnami — a přesto statisíce lidí a celé regiony stále nedosáhnou na společný blahobyt. Česko kvůli tomu ekonomicky stagnuje a ztrácí společenskou soudržnost. Geopolitická situace a klimatická krize před nás přitom staví mnohem závažnější výzvy. Sociolog Daniel Prokop ukazuje, že potřebujeme spravedlivý růst. Česko poroste, jen když do prosperity spravedlivě zapojí všechny obyvatele. Zároveň musí překonat samospád, jímž se dnes řídí veřejné systémy. Část lidí se v nich ztrácí, zbytek využívá jejich mezery a slabiny a politika jen udržuje společenskou strnulost. Prokopova kniha ukazuje hloubku zdejších problémů a zároveň detailně popisuje reformy daní, dávek, vzdělávání, ale i samospráv či zdravotní prevence, které by Česko posunuly k prosperitě pro všechny.

Where Time Its Silence Keeps
In the spirit of monk-poets Hanshan, Thomas Merton, and Philip Wallen
Trappist monk Paul Quenon spends his days in prayer, contemplation, and the monastery kitchen. These poems reflect those places and those moments. The Kentucky knobs play a role, as do the creatures and birds that live there. Nocturnal vigils, too, are important to the poems, and some of them were written like hymns to be sung rather than spoken. This is the work of a poet at the height of his powers, in his ninth decade of a life well-lived.
The book also includes a rare interview with the poet, which includes this: “I want a poem to be a poem. It is more than descriptive prose, more than an account of the state of my soul, a record of what I’ve experienced, information about my spiritual life. A poem steps into a space of its own. It nudges along with a spirit of its own, and is best when it surprises me. If I know ahead of time what I want to write, that is a drag and will bore the reader. Best to be free of pre-conceived ideas, and best when I’m obedient to the poem, to whatever it wants.” (Brother Paul Quenon)
