The Power of Real Optimism
AS FEATURED IN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: 'I can feel rusty parts of my brain coming back to life' Lucy ManganOptimism isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying open and flexible-especially when it's not. In this fresh, science-backed debut, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life. Grounded, practical, and poetic in all the right ways, this book will challenge your relationship with hope, rewire how you recover from hard things, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling, psychological insight, and tangible tools-including a 33-day Real Optimism Challenge-Dr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper, more resilient way of living-one where we can stay curious in the face of fear, open in the face of grief, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us. Because real optimism doesn't deny the dark-it teaches us how to see in it.

We Shall Fight Again
Follow Julian Lisiecki’s early 20th century life as he struggles for an education in Russian-controlled Poland. Julian’s story offers a rare glimpse into life during the First World War, being lost behind enemy lines during the Polish Soviet War and becoming a successful architect. The saga continues with Julian’s son, Stach, whose gripping Second World War experiences take him from fighting the Germans in France to wishing RAF bombers would liven up their ‘damned potato soup’ on Christmas Eve while shivering in Stalag VII-A. His remarkable escape across the Iberian Peninsula to become an officer in the British Army in West Africa, followed by his war against the 55th Imperial Japanese Cavalry in Burma, is a tale of resilience, courage, and lifelong friendship.
The Girl Who Made a Mouse From Her Grandfather's Whiskers
In a distant future, a little girl named Anny makes toy mice out of scraps and dust. Anny has never seen a real mouse, just as she’s never seen the planet her family came from many generations ago. All she knows is her home, Tsedt: an isolated village of human colonists’ descendants and their friendly helper robots. But then one day the Amau arrive in Tsedt: plastic people with luminous eyes, intent on taking young humans to the distant city of Harbor to be educated. It’s not long before Anny is flown away to a place unlike any she’s seen before.
A Working Title I Want to Change
In the labyrinth of Tesco’s flagship supermarket, precariously employed workers search for dignity at the margins of late-capitalist London, while a nameless narrator cycles through the discarded nametags of sacked colleagues. Gradually absorbing their stories, he drifts from shifts at the superstore to temporary accommodation, as imminent homelessness threatens his intellectual hopes. Petty triumphs, quiet humiliations, and fleeting acts of kindness become markers of resistance to the wider collapse beyond the store’s walls. A Working Title I Want to Change explores the dizzyingly over-lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerism’s rituals and illusions in all their comedy and menace.
The Greatest Possible Good
Shortlisted for The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year AwardHow much should one person give to make the world a better place? How much can one family take?**The hilarious, thought-provoking new novel from the Somerset Maugham and British Book Award-winning Ben Brooks**'Brooks is a frightening young talent.' Tim Key 'I love Ben Brooks.' Matt Haig‘This book made me laugh so much’ Sathnam Sanghera‘I really loved this book’ Graham Norton‘You’ll not forget the Candlewicks once you meet them! This splendid, wry satire is about a wealthy family, self-important and confident in their morality, whose blithe and bumptious existences are thrown into disarray when their father clandestinely decides to give all their money to charity, and so (in their opinions) completely destroys their lives. Droll and all-too-real.’ LitHub'A warmhearted tragicomedy about what it means to live a good life.' People Magazine‘A sharp-witted tragicomedy about money, morality, and a family teetering on the brink. A splendidly funny novel.’ Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street 'I’d like you to imagine that you’re walking to work one day and you come upon a child drowning in a pool of water. But imagine that someone refused to jump in after the child on the grounds that it would ruin his three-hundred-pound pair of John Lobb loafers. We’d consider them utterly immoral, would we not?’Arthur Candlewick spends three days in a disused mineshaft with only his son’s drug stash, a book on the concept of ‘effective altruism’ and a bottle of medium-priced Bordeaux for company. When he emerges, he has made the life-changing decision to become a good man. Deciding to sell the family timber business and give away his wealth to charity, Arthur’s family become convinced that he has lost his mind. His university-bound daughter, Evangeline, wants to change the world but perhaps not at the cost of her own privileged life. His son, Emil, good at maths and not much else, becomes more distant than ever. And his wife, Yara, who arrives at airports four hours early and fears that AI and climate change will leave her children unemployed, just wants the doctor to run another brain scan on her husband. Incisive, hilarious and unflinchingly human, The Greatest Possible Good asks fundamental questions about what it means to live a good life while introducing the world to one of the great families of contemporary literature. ‘Ben Brooks is a magical imp who pumps out dark nuggets of poetry and makes you snort with laughter.’ Noel Fielding‘Brooks has the timing of a genius stand-up comic.’ Richard Milward ‘Ben Brooks is a writer who genuinely excites me.’ Colin Herd, 3:AM Magazine
The History of Ancient Greece
From the legends of the Trojan War to the world conquests of Alexander the Great, Greece is the bedrock of Western civilization. Above all, the Greeks were pioneers in political thought and creators of the world’s first democracies. The first half of this fascinating military and political history details how the Greeks recovered from the collapse of the first Minoan, Cretan and Mycenaean civilization. It highlights the Persian Wars, and shows Athens during its brilliant Golden Age, before it was wrecked by the long wars with Sparta. It describes the men and women who have made Greece’s name resonate down the ages: Solon, the great reformer; Pericles, the supreme democrat; and Dionysius, the Sicilian tyrant. The second part of the book opens with the rise of Macedonia under Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Alexander, one of the most heroic and controversial figures in history, was a military genius who transformed the world, and who overthrew the Persian empire and helped spread Greek civilization and culture across half of Asia. His untimely death resulted in his eventual successor becoming the Roman empire. Over 500 photographs, illustrations, maps and battleplans bring this ancient history to life. With illuminating information on weapons, fleets and armies, on military tactics, and the organization of the great armies of Dionysius of Syracuse, Philip II and Alexander the Great, this is a breathtaking analysis of 2,000 years of impassioned politics, warfare and culture. An authoritative and beautifully illustrated account of ancient Greece, describing its classical heritage and influence on the history of the Western world. Chronicles political development in ancient Greece and explores the democracies, oligarchies and autocracies of Pericles, Solon and Leonidas. Explains the military techniques and strategies, operations and training of the Greek armies, with a special focus on the life, tactics and conquests of Alexander the Great. Includes detailed accounts of all the major conflicts – from the time of the Persian and Peloponnesian wars, charting Alexander the Great’s campaigns across the known world, to the reigns of Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, and Emperor Hadrian of Rome. Over 500 photographs, illustrations, specially commissioned battleplans and maps show Athens, Sparta and other ancient Greek city-states in magnificent detail.
Rough and Ready
From cowboy boots humble origins to their elevation as cultural icons, this far-ranging volume chronicles how their distinctive designs and makers have shaped and been shaped by American culture. Engaging narratives, insightful interviews, and vibrant images showcase the evolution through five transformative eras: 'Real' explores multicultural origins and the authentic cowboys who wore them; 'Rodeo' examines Western mythmaking through Wild West shows, early film, and dude ranches; 'Rhinestone' delves into country western music, Nudie Cohn s designs, and the shifting archetypes from Gene Autry s moral code to John Wayne s tougher persona; 'Red' investigates the boots emergence as luxury commodities during the Reagan years and Urban Cowboy phenomenon; and 'Reclaimed' presents contemporary reinterpretations from the Western-inspired fashion of Beyonce and Pharrell Williams to modern bootmakers. Complementing the authoritative foundation are thoughtful interviews that enrich the historical analysis: an Indigenous voice essay provides cultural perspective, Nudie Cohn s origin story offers industry context, and conversations with both traditional craftsmen and innovative makers demonstrate how the cowboy boot continues to evolve while honoring its heritage.

Woodwind Harmony in the Nighttime
Winner of the inaugural Mo Habib Translation Prize in Persian Literature, Reza Ghassemi’s darkly comic and subtly provocative novel of life among the exiled and expatriated. Iranian exile Yadollah is barely scraping by in 1990s Paris. He lives in a run-down attic apartment with his friend Seyyed, and his girlfriend Ra’na. It’s an all too common situation—their apartment building houses a cast of eccentric neighbors, most of them fellow down-on-their-luck exiles from all over the world. When a mysterious new neighbor arrives on the scene, a man who ominously goes by the name of Prophet, Yadollah and his friends’ world is turned upside down. Yadollah suddenly finds himself confronted by the Islamic angels of death, and realizes that he must untangle the mystery of his own murder, which occurred at some unknown point after Prophet’s arrival. Suspenseful, yet darkly humorous, Woodwind Harmony In The Nighttime explores the trauma of displacement, and challenges readers to piece together the story of a life shattered by exile.

Starověký Egypt a jeho všední život
Zjistěte, co jedli, kde spali a na co umírali staří Egypťané!
Málokterá starověká kultura nás dokáže uchvátit stejně jako Egypt. Ve srovnání s antikou však tato fascinující civilizace zanechala jen velmi málo textů, které by nám dovolily nahlédnout do každodenního života tehdejších lidí. Obraz někdejší reality proto musíme skládat kámen po kamínku jako barevnou mozaiku. Této mravenčí práce se ujali egyptologové, kteří zkoumají fragmenty osobní korespondence, lékařské papyry, detaily reliéfů i pohřební výbavu. Unikátní svědectví poskytují také opuštěná sídla, v nichž přebývali dávní stavitelé hrobek. Právě tyto drobné střípky postupně umožňují vytvářet obraz života v říši na Nilu, kterou považujeme za jednu z kolébek civilizace. Začtěte se do stránek této publikace a přijměte pozvání do egyptské domácnosti. Věříme, že vás tato návštěva skutečně obohatí.

I Ching - The Book of Changes
Also known as Yî Ching or The Book of Changes, I Ching is an ancient Chinese text of vast historical and cultural influence. Spanning the fields of divination, cosmology, morality and philosophy, with strong links to Confucianism, it has been interpreted in many different ways over the centuries and ultimately demonstrates an early attempt to understand the world and the human place within it. Reviving James Legge's classic nineteenth-century translation, this compact and accessible edition includes an illuminating introduction that casts fresh light on this fascinating text.
Figura
Umělecká kreativita je základní téma, které i v odborných dějinách umění přemáhá dnešní hyperspecializaci. Chiasmatický pojem figury a figurace potom pomáhají pochopit hlubší vztahy mezi tradicí a modernou. Kniha sleduje tyto otázky nejen teoreticky, ale i v konkrétních rozborech významných uměleckých výkonů. Petr Wittlich V knize je teoreticky i historicky vytvořena propozice pro novou metodologii uměleckohistorického výkladu umění pomocí pojmů figura a figurace. Její výhodou je, že umožňuje vytvářet historicky situované syntézy formálních i obsahových složek, působících při vzniku uměleckých děl a neodděluje moderní umění od tradice, i když zdůrazňuje jeho inovační kapacitu. Petr Wittlich vybudoval nový samotný výkladový systém. Kniha Figura, tak představuje pro další generace, nejen historiků umění, návod jak nepředpojatě a zároveň poučeně vnímat umění jako takové. Jde o jedinečný přínos dějinám umění, syntézu Wittlichova celoživotního úsilí, knihu, která přetrvá věky.
