Through the Lens of Anthroposophy
What relevance do anthroposophy and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner have for the world today? Spiritual thinker Wolfgang Müller was initially sceptical that anthroposophy had any contemporary value. It wasn't until many years after his first encounter with the challenging and sometimes controversial worldview that a closer study of Steiner's writings prompted him to make a radical reappraisal. In this thought-provoking book, Müller explains how anthroposophy, far from being out of touch with the modern world, has important contributions to make towards our understanding of contemporary life. He shows, for example, how anthroposophy builds on the insights of natural science to explore the inner life of human beings, and how its progressive view of human spiritual development can help us better understand the world's religions. He looks at anthroposophy's approach to medicine, which takes into account both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings, and goes on to consider Steiner's social and political ideas, which seek to bring our public spheres of culture, politics and economics into greater balance. Finally, Müller explores accusations of racism that have been made against Steiner in recent years and shows how they are fundamentally at odds with Steiner's view of a truly universal humanity. This book offers a balanced and well-researched contemporary perspective on anthroposophy from a former sceptic and will be of value to anyone looking for alternative ways of understanding our world.
Freedom Round the Globe
A fresh and surprising history that reckons with a defining global moment on its 250th anniversary: The American Revolution.
In this authoritative revisionist history, prize-winning historian Sarah M. S. Pearsall restores the shock, drama and world-altering flux of 1776, revealing how the fires of change that sparked the American Revolution were igniting all around the world. From St. Kitts to Kolkata, Ghana to Guangzhou, all kinds of people, not just the men declaring independence in Philadelphia, asserted their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Revolution, Freedom Round the Globe tells a story the world needs to hear, of the fraught origins of a nation that by turns perplexes, fascinates and horrifies us. It is a story of global transformation and revolutionary fervour, of triumph as well as tragedy, and of the insurgents, lovers, and dreamers who dared to imagine better societies.
Road Captain
A rare insight into the heart of pro cycling and the inner workings of the peloton, from Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers legend, Luke Rowe.
There's one well-established truth in professional cycling: the strongest always wins. Yet in a sport of champions, victory is only possible as a team. At the heart of that team effort, that unity, is the road captain.
After more than a decade as the pre-eminent road captain in professional bike racing, Luke Rowe reveals here for the first time the intricacies of that role. As he lifts the lid, he provides the ultimate insider's view on racing tactics and strategy within the professional peloton. He gives readers an unprecedented insight into what exactly is going on within that pulsing mass of athletic power and state-of-the-art machinery, seen through the eyes of the rider tasked with leading his team to glory.
Featuring exhilarating stories from his years at Team Sky and Ineos Grenadiers - where he played a fundamental role in the team's dominance at the Tour de France, leading Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal to their Tour victories - Luke shows what it's like to manage a road race unfolding at 60km/h. As he points out, it is 'like playing chess on wheels'.
Road Captain immerses readers in the team dynamics, tactical complexities and split-second decisions vital to success in professional cycling. It discloses the mental and physical battles taking place within a group of riders, and reveals how the biggest bike races are won.

A Villa Amore titkai
Légy részese az év legfényűzőbb esküvőjének! Az Amalfi-tengerpart aranyló fényei között, a fényűző Villa Amoréban hamarosan sor kerül az év legpazarabb esküvőjére – az egyetlen gond, hogy a résztvevők közül többen életre szóló titkokat rejtegetnek… Carina gyerekkori szerelméhez, Giorgióhoz készül feleségül menni, és biztos benne, hogy végre révbe ér. A vőlegény első pillantásra tökéletes választásnak tűnik, de kérdés, hogy valóban az a romantikus hős-e, akinek Carina látja…
A koszorúslány, a színésznő Edie a forgatási szüneteket kihasználva repül haza, hogy élete nagy napján a legjobb barátnője mellett legyen. Az öröme azonban nem felhőtlen, mert olyasmit tud, ami Carina egész életét tönkreteheti. Hűség, bűntudat, önámítás és vágy. Ez a regény olyan, mint a nyár az olasz tengerparton: napfényes, szikrázó, és úgy sodor magával, mint a tengeri áramlat. Carol Kirkwood a BBC képernyőjéről ismert médiaszemélyiség, hat nagy sikerű romantikus regény szerzője. A regényírásba viszonylag későn, de tudatosan vágott bele: első romantikus regényét az utazás iránti szenvedélye és a hollywoodi csillogás világa inspirálta. Olyan történeteket szeretne írni, amilyeneket ő maga is szívesen olvasna egy medence partján vagy nyaralás közben: napfényes, egzotikus helyszíneken játszódó, romantikus és titkokkal teli regényeket, amelyek megszínesítik a hétköznapokat.

Jegyzetek egy kivégzéshez
Ansel Packer tizenkét óra múlva meghal. Tisztában van azzal, hogy mit tett, és most a kivégzésére vár, ugyanarra a sorsra, amit ő is rákényszerített azokra a lányokra évekkel ezelőtt. De Ansel nem akar meghalni, azt akarja, hogy ünnepeljék, hogy megértsék.
Egy anya, egy lánytestvér, egy gyilkossági nyomozó – nők, akiknek a kaleidoszkópján keresztül megismerjük Ansel élettörténetét.
Találkozunk az anyjával, Lavenderrel; egy tizenhét éves lánnyal, aki kétségbeesett lépésre kényszerül; Hazellel, Ansel feleségének ikertestvérével, aki születésük óta elválaszthatatlan nővérétől, de most kénytelen tétlenül figyelni, ahogy a testvére kapcsolata mindegyiküket felemészti. És végül Saffyval, a nyomozóval, aki szorosan a nyomában van, és aki annak szenteli a hivatását, hogy rossz embereket bíróság elé állítson, miközben képtelen tisztán látni a saját életét.
Danya Kukafka regénye a feszültséget megdöbbentő empátiával ötvözve hátborzongató képet fest a női sorsról, és ezzel egyidejűleg feltárja az amerikai sorozatgyilkos ismerős narratíváját, komoly kérdéseket megfogalmazva az igazságszolgáltatással és a bűnügyi történetek iránti megszállottságunkkal kapcsolatban. Mindeközben az olvasó elgondolkodhat azon, hogy érdemes-e értelmet keresni erőszakos emberek pszichéjében…
Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség.
Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.
A döntéseid formálnak azzá.

The Moon Child
In early medieval Poland, Iwa has never known life beyond the forest. She is part of the Bison Grass Clan, a group of hunter gatherers who follow the herds through the forest. Yet there is something in her blood that sets her apart. Her mother was not of the clan – a woman who was born in the far-off lands of the Polish lords that lie beyond the forest. She died giving birth to Iwa and there have always been rumours surrounding her birth, of strange magic and pacts with the dark forces of the world. When warriors from the Polish lands invade, seeking to carve a kingdom in the forest, Iwa’s world collapses. But their ambition awakens something ancient – an old power that should have remained buried. Shadows lengthen, the dead stir, and a banished sorcerer calls from beyond the veil. To save the forest – and herself – Iwa must confront the truth of her lineage and the dark legacy it carries. Between the fall of the old world and the birth of the new, she must decide what she will become: protector, destroyer... or the spark that consumes everything.
The Companion to Churches
Every one of England’s churches is unique: from St. Edwold’s tiny church at Stockwood in Dorset and Bremilham in Wiltshire (twelve feet square and sitting in a farmyard) to the Gothic masterpiece of St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol and the great monastic churches of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire and Sherborne in Dorset. The Companion to Churches is a comprehensive, fully illustrated A–Z guide to these churches, dating from the post Roman period to the present day, and covers subjects such as architecture, fittings and furnishings, decorative and allegorical features, stained glass, heraldry, traditions and customs, ecclesiastical history, and the role of the church in its community.
This Little World
'A perspective-altering take on a world we usually think of in far more domestic terms. A ground-breaking masterwork' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'A page-turning history of how a nation was defined' PHILIPPA GREGORY'A glimmering vision of a Tudor and Stuart England we hardly know, yet which immediately feels essential' ALEX VON TUNZELMANNThe prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England – Shakespeare’s ‘scepter’d isle’, proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality. England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son. Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of England’s past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making – on the cusp of empire – told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing England’s story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging.

Set in a small town in Edwardian England, Regiment of Women is a page-turning and beguiling novel about the complicated relationship between a teacher and pupil at a private (and elitist) girls' school . . .
With a foreword by Jacqueline Wilson
'I understand her. You don't. She likes to be top dog. She'll do anything for that. She likes to know every woman and child in the school is a bit of putty, to knead into shape.'
Miss Clare Hartill, teacher at a girls' boarding school, has a bewitching ability to get her own way, whether it is among the staff or the pupils who'll do anything to please her. When nineteen-year-old Alwynne Durand is hired, Clare takes this innocent and enthusiastic but undisciplined young teacher under her wing.
Soon, the pair are spending every moment together, with Alwynne growing as dependent on Clare as she is drawn to her beguiling wit and charm.
But when tragedy touches the school, Alwynne begins to question Clare's attentions. Sometimes, she thinks, her new friend can be cruel.
Torn between a Clare she loves and a Clare she fears, Alwynne must decide between loyalty and independence - before Clare chooses for her . . .
Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1945-1959
The first part of a major new anthology which uncovers the rich reality of life for queer men in London
In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated.
In a major new anthology, Peter Parker explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as John Gielgud, 'Chips' Channon and E.M. Forster, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalisation.
This first volume, from 1945 to 1959, details a community forced to live at constant risk of blackmail or prison. Yet it also shows a thriving and joyous subculture, one that enriched a mainstream culture often ignorant of its debt to gay creators. Some Men In London is a testament to queer life, which was always much more complex than newspapers, governments and the Metropolitan Police Force imagined.
