Stand
Cory Booker captivated Americans across the political spectrum in early 2025 with his remarkable 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, when he spoke out forcefully against the Trump administration's relentless challenges to civil liberties, government institutions, the rule of law, and our nation's international standing. In the process, he outlasted the record for longest continuous Senate floor speech set by segregationist Strom Thurmond during a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was delivered at another time of great uncertainty when it felt like the odds were hopelessly stacked against justice and unity. Stand expands on that message and offers a compelling vision for the future to readers who are eager to make a difference. It focuses on the virtues that are vital to our success as a nation and the lessons we can draw from past generations of Americans who fought for them. Now is not the time to surrender to cynicism or abandon our most noble ideals. Now is the time to defiantly declare, like our ancestors before us: 'I, too, stand for America."Stand is a celebration of the Americans who chose to get up in the face of injustice, who championed the uniquely American values central to making our nation a more perfect union, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is also a guide for today: leadership is not derived from position or title, it comes from action and example.

The Sordid Image
Drawing on the cinematic oeuvre of Ripstein and Garciadiego to reconceptualize the idea of the sordid The sordid is not an ideology, an affect, or even a form of taste or sensibility. It is, Agustín Zarzosa argues, an image and an evocation of the process of degradation. The Sordid Image: The Naturalist Cinema of Arturo Ripstein and Paz Alicia Garciadiego offers the first sustained study of this pivotal filmmaker-screenwriter pair, drawing on their multidecade collaborations to reframe an enduring problem of film theory: how to represent marginalized people. Together, Ripstein and Garciadiego have constructed a recognizable cinematic world filled with social outcasts, characterized by self-degradation and unreason, and set within squalid environments. Inscribing the Ripsteinian universe within the literary and cinematic traditions of naturalism, this book theorizes the notion of the sordid to examine the partners' unique and epoch-defining films. We can, Zarzosa contends, understand the sordid as a cinematic image, with its specific components and pleasures, recasting questions of authorship, mise-en-scene, spectatorship, genre, and language.
Notes from a Regicide
When your parents die, you find out who they really were. Griffon Keming’s second parents saved him from his abusive family. They taught him how to be trans, paid for his transition, and tried to love him as best they could. But Griffon’s new parents had troubles of their own – both were deeply scarred by the lives they lived before Griffon, the struggles they faced to become themselves, and the failed revolution that drove them from their homeland. When they died, they left an unfillable hole in his heart. Griffon’s best clue to his parents’ lives is in his father’s journal, written from a jail cell while he awaited execution. Stained with blood, grief, and tears, these pages struggle to contain the love story of two artists on fire. With the journal in hand, Griffon hopes to pin down his relationship to these wonderful and strange people for whom time always seemed to be running out. In Notes from a Regicide, a trans family saga set in a far-off, familiar future, Isaac Fellman goes beyond the concept of found family to examine how deeply we can be healed and hurt by those we choose to love.

Grounded
We know the environment is in trouble—and we’re seeing direct effects on human health as a result. Only when we restore our natural connection with the earth can we help to heal it and ourselves. This is the premise of Grounded, a clarion call and revolutionary guide from author Dr. Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow. Based on current trends, it’s estimated that over 90% of the earth’s soils could become degraded by 2050, affecting food production, flooding, and clean water supplies. This isn’t a doomsday prophecy—it is our realistic future if we don’t take action now. In this revised and updated edition, McMorrow provides tools and practices to transform ourselves, our socioeconomic systems, and the environment that sustains. It’s time to ground ourselves, returning to a cyclical, regenerative style of living, eating, loving, and dying. “Being grounded involves rooting within ourselves to expand in the world,” explains McMorrow. “It means navigating from a place of power, clarity, creativity, and balance.”Explore the ecological and spiritual basis of our existing climate crises—including what’s happening with our soil and carbon cycles—to understand how we’ve gotten into our current state. Grounded gives us the wisdom and guidance to do the sacred work of reconnecting with the divine feminine and initiating transformation to address our carbon legacy and save our planet (and ourselves).
Emergency Dream
Emergency Dream grows out of the entangled emergencies of our times: social, political and personal. It explores the inextricability of Climate Justice and Disability Justice, drawing on close observation of the natural world and the human world from the position of a disabled bodymind within it. Throughout, states of emergency and states of dream overlap. Visions of the future and past collide in waking and sleeping dreams, travelling landscapes threatened by floods, wildfires and the pandemic to impossible dreamscapes and soundscapes. Disabled joy and disabled rage are both tools for survival learnt from human and non-human communities.
Thank You, Teacher!
In this sweet, rollicking poem about the ups and downs of a school year, Indian-American author and illustrator Supriya Kelkar crafts a delightful ode to the teachers who shape our lives in art class, gym, homeroom, and beyond. From weekday triumphs to field-trip catastrophes and hard-to-place apostrophes, there is no problem too difficult to solve when a teacher is by your side.
Emilio Pucci
When people think of Emilio Pucci, it is of his bright, swirling colours and easy, freeing fabrics, and everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy donning the eye-catching dresses that personify La Dolce Vita. What few know about Pucci, however, is that before creating his world-famous fashions, he played a critical role in the war against the Nazis, risking his life to smuggle out to the Allies one of the most important documents of World War II. The authors bring to life Italy’s darkest and brightest days, with the extraordinary Emilio Pucci at its centre. Italy at the end of the war was broken, and Florence, which the Pucci family had called home for seven centuries, lay in ruins. Pucci returned home having endured trials that would have broken many, but, like Italy itself, rose from the ashes, and went on to design some of the most exuberant fashion of all time. He helped usher in a new era of creativity in Italy, which again became a mecca of fashion, art, design, film, and more. A host of supporting characters—including Mussolini’s daughter and Allen Dulles, and, most importantly, the timeless city of Florence and the mythic island of Capri—enrich this compelling narrative that will draw readers of all kinds, from war and history buffs, to fashionistas and fans of espionage thrillers along with the millions of readers who devour books about Italy and her many charms.

Druhý suvenýr
Zdánlivě obyčejná sebevražda řadového úředníka v pražské vile představuje teprve začátek napínavého detektivního příběhu. Když se totiž policejní inspektor Kafka ponoří do vyšetřování, odhalí spojitost s legendami opředenou smrtí Jana Masaryka.
Mohlo se jednat o sebevraždu, nebo byl oblíbený ministr zahraničí zavražděn? Jak vypadaly jeho poslední dny a hodiny? A co by vlastně mohlo být tím druhým suvenýrem, který by snad konečně mohl odhalit pravdu o Masarykově smrti? Další úmrtí na sebe nenechají dlouho čekat. Každá nová stopa rozmazává hranici mezi pravdou a klamem.
Druhý suvenýr je strhující literární thriller, který spojuje napětí, historii a neúnavnou snahu o dosažení spravedlnosti — vyjde pravda konečně najevo, nebo bude navždy pohřbena?

Gyilkosság a képtárban
Ágoston épp élete legunalmasabb vakációját tölti, amikor váratlan telefonhívást kap a nagyapjától. A fiúnak Kapitány Káprázatos Képtárába kell sietnie, de amit ott talál, attól leesik az álla! A vadnyugati műalkotások között egy cowboy véres hullája fekszik a földön. Vajon ki lőtte le és miért? És hogyan került a holttest a bezárt épületbe?
Gondolkodásra azonban nincs idő. A nagyapja egy ősi varázslat segítségével átjárót nyit a képen, és mielőtt Ágoston felocsúdhatna, azon kapja magát, hogy a prérin ügetnek egy indián tábor felé.
Különös nyomozásuk egyik képből a másikba robusztus kastélyokon, morajló tengereken és zsúfolt londoni utcákon át egészen a hold sötét oldaláig vezet. A tét pedig egyre emelkedik: meg kell találniuk a gyilkost, mielőtt az elpusztítaná a híres festmények mágikus világát…
Fiala Borcsa új könyve, a Gyilkosság a képtárban izgalmas utazásra hív a híres, gondolatébresztő vagy épp meghökkentő képzőművészeti alkotások terébe.
Szinvai Dániel 27 fejezethez alkotott 27 illusztrációjának segítségével pedig olyan festők művei elevenednek meg az oldalakon, mint Eugene Delacroix, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh vagy Bernáth Aurél.
