The Emotionally Savvy Divorce
Collaborative divorce is an alternative approach that empowers couples to find their own solutions - on their terms, with professional support, and without the courtroom drama. The Emotionally Savvy Divorce offers a transformative way to handle the emotional turbulence of divorce - not by suppressing your feelings, but by leaning into them. Attorney and collaborative divorce expert Katherine Miller challenges the conventional advice to “keep your emotions in check.” With over 30 years of experience, Miller shows how your emotions can be powerful assets in securing a fair and respectful divorce and will teach you the tools to guide you through three critical areas of divorce: custody, asset division, and finances. Whether you’re considering divorce, in the middle of proceedings, or supporting someone who is, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a smoother, more empowered transition through one of life’s most difficult challenges.

Slow Guillotine
Winner of the Barbara DiBernard Prize in FictionSlow Guillotine follows three broke weirdos whose collective desire to make and think about art is constantly interrupted by their art-industry-adjacent minimum-wage jobs. Throughout the novel, the three friends' day jobs in a failing independent bookstore, a sterile gallery in downtown Manhattan, and miscellaneous living rooms across the Long Island birthday-party-clown circuit interweave with their attempts to come to terms with their precarity, gender-dysphoric embodiment, and the floating dream of collective liberation. Spanning one year and told through an obsessive first-person present tense, Slow Guillotine brings the bildungsroman structure through the autofictional looking glass, questioning how "coming of age" could be feasible in a society of debtors, wage laborers, and renters.

Scale Boy is a memoir that brings great brightness and joy to the tumultuous years of discovering oneself and one’s community; though there are moments of danger and confusion in his story, Nganang aims to present a new vision of a young Black African man’s coming-of-age.

Hannibal ante portas – Hírünk a világban
Moszkva külpolitikai aktivitása, az ismétlődő berepülések Észak- és Kelet-Európa légterébe, a norvég, sőt a brit partokig merészkedő orosz tengeralattjárók felderítő akciói és a négyévenként megtartott nagy hadgyakorlatok az ország nyugati régióiban indokolt aggodalommal töltötték el az orosz határ túloldalán fekvő országokat. A balti államok megkezdték a leválást a Moszkva által kontrollált áramhálózatról, visszaállították a kötelező katonai szolgálatot, és gyakorolták a gerilla-hadviselést. Lengyelország a GDP közel 5%-ára emelte katonai költségvetését, és fokozta védelmi együttműködését Washingtonnal. […] A balti országokban, amelyek 1919-ig a cári Oroszország, 1945–1990 között pedig a Szovjetunió tartományai voltak, valamint Lengyelországban, amelynek a keleti határai a 19–20. században Oroszország, majd a Szovjetunió mindenkori erejétől függően ezer kilométereket mozogtak ide-oda, továbbá Finnországban, amelyet a Szovjetunió 1939–1945 között kétszer próbált meg elfoglalni, […] megértették: nincs hová hátrálni; Hannibal ante portas.
Hannibal ante portas! Hannibál a kapuk előtt! – adták tovább a hírt a rémült római polgárok i. e. 217-ben, amikor az Alpokon átkelve az ókor egyik legnagyobb hadvezére seregei élén az örök város felé közeledett. Romsics Ignác új kötete első részének címe arra utal, hogy napjaink európai polgárai ismét fenyegetve érezhetik magukat. Az átalakulóban lévő világpolitika többféle lehetőséget rejt magában, s ezek egyike nem a tartós béke és a szilárd jogrend, hanem a nagyhatalmi ellentétek és a regionális konfliktusok állandósulása irányába mutat. Ezért döntő jelentőségű az Európai Unió jövője és békepárti szerepvállalása. Ha a 27 állam globális politikai hatalommá akar válni, és meg akarja védeni polgárait a külső veszélyektől, akkor közös kül- és védelempolitikára van szüksége. A tagállamok egy része ezt évek óta szorgalmazza, míg másik részük az integráció lazítására és a nemzetállami szuverenitás erősítésére törekszik. A 2010 óta hatalmon lévő Orbán-kormányzat ez utóbbiak közé tartozik. Orbán Viktornak és rendszerének nyugat-európai megítélése emiatt is ellentmondásos. Miközben az euroszkeptikus jobboldali sajtóban elismerően írnak róla, az Európa-párti liberális és demokratikus hírmagazinokban egyre keményebben bírálják. A könyv második része az Economist, az Express, a Spiegel és a Weltwoche című hetilapokban az elmúlt 15 évben ezzel kapcsolatban megjelent közleményeket elemzi.
Sváteční rodina
Sváteční rodina je nebývale silnou knihou o lásce na pozadí smrti. O lásce živého k umírajícímu. Zejména však o hluboké, až obsedantní lásce živého k již zemřelému. O neutuchající touze, jež nemůže být nikdy naplněna, a proto může pokračovat až donekonečna.
V těchto nadčasových povídkách, odehrávajících se v jedné z nejchudších a nejzaostalejších oblastí Bulharska, se skrývá možná až příliš lidské bolesti – jednak kvůli lásce, která nám jen zřídka dává to, co od ní očekáváme, jednak kvůli světu, který je až příliš často zlý a krutý.
Tyto zdánlivě nemilosrdné, nesmlouvavě drásavé stránky, z nichž čiší smyslnost a ryze balkánská živelná nespoutanost, nicméně prozařuje i jedno slabé světélko, jedna něžná útěcha, jedna nepatrná naděje, kterou tak často hledáme a jen zřídka nacházíme, a kterou tolik potřebujeme.
Explore the Far Side of the Moon
Readers are taken on an imaginary space mission to explore the far side of the Moon for the first time in human history.
In this adventure into deep space, readers will be the first astronauts to set foot on the far side of the Moon, where the light is low, temperatures are extreme and the surface is pitted with craters that are so deep they have never been exposed to sunlight. What lies within may reveal incredible secrets about our universe, and provide a stepping stone to Mars and beyond...
Illustrated in a dreamy science-fiction style, Explore the Far Side of the Moon places readers in the moon boots of a mission specialist, appointed to undertake the first crewed mission to the far side of the Moon in human history.
With an introduction by planetary scientist Dr Sheila Kanani, the book starts by introducing the reader to their fellow crew members, providing guidance on what to pack, what to wear and how to prepare a space rocket for lift-off (not to mention an all-important briefing on how to go to the toilet in zero gravity). From there, readers will discover how to enter lunar orbit and dock at the brand new lunar space station where they'll be stationed. Mission specialists will then strike out alone to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface, and embark on their exploration of the Lunar South Pole.
Published in anticipation of NASA's launch of Artemis III, which will take the first woman and first person of colour to the Moon, the book will feed off the excitement of a new era of lunar missions.
The Cursed Queens Daughter - Thirstwood 2
A warrior princess falls for a shadow prince in this darkly romantic companion to The Forest King's Daughter.
Fearless Thea has never known life outside of war. As the favorite daughter of the Sylvan King, she's a relentless fighter who longs to lead his army as First Huntsman, ignoring the pretty clothes and fanciful notions others enjoy. But when a mysterious dress full of dark magic appears on her hearth one evening, Thea doesn't know how to fight an enemy she can't see or touch. Still, her curiosity builds as a new gown appears each night-until she gives in to temptation and is whisked to a forgotten land of shadows.
The prince of the shadow realm is a handsome host, and while Thea does all she can to resist his charms, it's clear he knows something about the long-ago disappearance of Thea's mother. All he asks in return is for Thea to dance with him, their dangerous attraction growing each time she returns for more information. Meanwhile, shadows are seeping into the living realm, and Thea may have to embrace her own darkness if she has any chance of saving her beloved sisters and home from an otherworldly threat.
From the author of the Frostblood Saga comes the second book in a spellbinding series about the daughters of the powerful forest king, with simmering romance and plot twists that will leave readers desperate to enter the Thirstwood themselves.
The sparkling, enemies-to-lovers romantasy sequel from the author of Frostblood.
Tiny Experiments
Life isn’t linear, and yet we constantly try to mold it around linear goals: four-year college degrees, ten-year career plans, thirty-year mortgages. What if instead we approached life as a giant playground for experimentation? Based on ancestral philosophy and the latest scientific research, Tiny Experiments provides a desperately needed reframing: Uncertainty can be a state of expanded possibility and a space for metamorphosis.
Neuroscientist and entrepreneur Anne-Laure Le Cunff reveals that all you need is an experimental mindset to turn challenges into self-discovery and doubt into opportunity. Readers will replace the old linear model of success with a circular model of growth in which goals are discovered, pursued, and adapted—not in a vacuum, but in conversation with the larger world.
Throughout the book, you will ask hard questions and design simple yet meaningful experiments to find the answers. You will learn how to break free from the invisible cognitive scripts that shape your life, how to harness the power of imperfection, and how to make smarter decisions when the path forward is unclear.
This is a guide to:
• Discover your true ambitions through conducting tiny personal experiments
• Dismantle harmful beliefs about success that have kept you stuck
• Dare to make decisions true to your own aspirations
• Stop trying to find your purpose and start living instead
Tiny Experiments offers not just practical tools to make sure our most vital work gets done, but a guide to reawakening our curiosity and drive in a noisy, busy, disaffected world, so that we can discover and pursue our most authentic ambitions while making a meaningful contribution.

Ida Lupino, Director
The updated edition of Ida Lupino, Director: Her Art and Resilience in Times of Transition, an in-depth exploration of Lupino's film and television directing work, provides close readings of the films and TV episodes Lupino directed and accounts for the history of Lupino's reception, continuing into the mid-2020s, in media and film scholarship. The book gives readers a fuller understanding of Lupino's major contribution to the history of American cinema and media.

Updates include a foreword by writer and film critic Imogen Sara Smith, whose work in film scholarship and the public arena has drawn attention to Lupino and the importance of gender to film noir. Authors Therese Grisham and Julie Grossman have added a complete list of the TV episodes Lupino directed in the 1950s and '60s, as well as an updated epilogue. This new edition addresses how our views of Lupino's innovative cinema and her prodigious contributions to classic television have been taken up by others, proving that Lupino, whose reputation has waxed and waned since the middle of the twentieth century, is here to stay as a major figure in the history of American media.
