Kchrat 4: Zapovězený skok
Dokáže šatchranský voják přežít na území odvěkého nepřítele?
Před dvanácti sty lety napadly šatchrany děsivé stvůry z druhé strany tajemné mlhoviny. A nechybělo mnoho, aby je téměř vyhladily. Od té doby se šatchranští vesmírní vojáci snaží zničit každou cizí loď, která záhadně překoná neprostupnou mlhovinu a zjeví se v jejich vesmírném prostoru.
Jednou na takového narušitele narazí i mladý a nezkušený Rašchet a bez zaváhání se s ním střetne. A selže.
Jenže nezemře. Díky milosrdenství podivné posádky tak může zahlédnout, co se za mlhovinou doopravdy skrývá. A vzápětí zjišťuje, že žádné tajemství se neprozrazuje zadarmo, stvůry mohou mít mnoho podob a nic se neděje náhodou.

Štafeta
Sedmnáctiletá Júko bydlí s nevlastním otcem Morimijou a vede naprosto spokojený život — nebo se to tak alespoň může na první pohled zdát. Od narození stihla vystřídat domov a příjmení hned čtyřikrát. Přestože se složení její rodiny několikrát změnilo, všichni rodiče ji zahrnovali láskou. Odnesla si od nich spoustu dobrého, ale některé šrámy se jen tak nezahojí. To jí připomene především rušný poslední ročník střední školy, v němž kromě učení na přijímací zkoušky dojde i na pár zvratů, které Júko donutí pořádně se zamyslet nad svými hodnotami, názory na přátelství a v neposlední řadě i nad tím, co jí dali a možná i vzali všichni její rodiče.
Nakonec Júko čeká i první velká láska a zakládání vlastní rodiny, které s sebou přinese ještě jednu výzvu před poslední změnou příjmení — přesvědčit Morimiju, aby jí a jejímu budoucímu manželovi dal svolení ke svatbě.

The Young Person's Guide to Health and Wellness
A practical guide setting young people on a path to greater wellbeing The Young Person’s Guide to Health and Wellness grew out of Dr. Friedberg’s hands-on role in creating a holistic health, wellness, and athletic program at the Portledge School in Locust Valley, N.Y. Under his continued guidance, the program helps students pursue the best version of themselves in every dimension of their lives. It enables them to develop strong habits that will anchor them as they grow towards maturity. The program is based on ten principles, beliefs: You live in your body, so take care of it. Good nutrition is essential for health Healthy habits strengthen you. Self-reflection helps you find your way. Core moral values improve your sense of self. Healthy relationships are integral to your well-being. Empathy is essential to caring about each other. Building community helps you grow personally. Nurturing a sound mind is important to physical health. Making the most of good choices leads to a fulfilling life. The Young Person’s Guide to Health and Wellness elaborates on these tenets, demonstrating how young people can apply them in their own lives. “What is ‘good’ nutrition for someone with my body type and energy expenditure?” “How do I build community in my neighborhood?” The Guide is designed so that young people can approach the tenets through reading and reflection, augmented by discussion in classrooms or team meetings. Each chapter, explaining a particular tenet, will include questions for reflection and discussion. Ultimately, the Guide encourages young people not to leave health and wellness to luck or chance, but to take responsibility for their psychological and physical wellbeing. By developing an awareness of health and wellness, and making it the basis of sound habits, young people can better prepare for whatever comes next.

Overnight
There is something special about the night. For many, dusk and evening conjure thoughts of starlit skies, romance, bedtime stories and rest.

With new material delving deeper into all things nocturnal, Overnight is a hymn to nighttime wildlife, travel, dreams and art. Along the way, Dan Richards meets a fascinating array of people who labour while the rest of us sleep, and brings their work into the light. From night terror chills to the warmth of dawn on the summer solstice, Overnight will change the way you think about the hours after dark.
