Testünk jelzései
A 10 éve töretlenül sikeres Bélügyek szerzőjének új könyve!
Giulia Enders újabb felfedezőútra indul testünk belsejébe, és alapvető kérdéseket vet fel a működésével kapcsolatban: Mit taníthat nekünk az immunrendszer a biztonságról? Hogyan segíthet a sebgyógyulás folyamata megértenünk az érzelmi gyógyulást? Mi az, amire valóban szükségünk van a boldoguláshoz?
Testünk lenyűgöző válaszokat ad, megváltoztatva azt a nézőpontot, ahogy eddig az életről gondolkodtunk. A legújabb tudományos ismeretek birtokában, eleven és közérthető stílusával Giulia Enders mély megbecsülést ébreszt valami iránt, ami egyszerre ismerős és mélyen rejtélyes – ami a legboldogabb önmagunk megtalálásának alapja.
„Mert nem számít, milyen zajos körülöttünk a világ, hogy minden a kattintásokon múlik, hogy minden fekete vagy fehér, és nincsenek szürke átmenetek – mindez nem változtat a lényegünkön: organikus lények vagyunk. Rostok segítségével, a szervek külön-külön képességeit egyedülálló életté szőjük össze. Folyamatosan megújulunk, átalakulunk…”
Návod na obsluhu tínedžerov
Humorné zážitky a rady dievčatka Lili, ako vychádzať so staršími súrodencami
Ahoj, volám sa Lili. Možno si na mňa spomínate: Svojej sestre Laure som poslúžila ako pokusný králik, keď sa chcela stať kaderníčkou a mama sa na sestru poriadne nahnevala. Laura sa však v poslednej dobe fakt zmenila, viac frfle a odvráva. Väčšinou je pre ňu všetko trápne, obzvlášť to, čo urobím ja alebo rodičia. Chce tráviť čas sama a počúvať hlasnú hudbu zo slúchadiel. Mamina hovorí, že je jednoducho v puberte. Ak už náhodou doma pubertiaka máte, dobre viete, o čom hovorím – úprimnú sústrasť!
V druhom pokračovaní veselého a medzi čitateľmi aj obľúbeného debutu Emílie Popálencovej Návod na obsluhu rodičov hlavné sesterské hrdinky trošku podrástli. Zmena však ponúka nové úsmevné zážitky rodiny, ktorá má medzi sebou jedného večne uhundraného pubertiaka. Kniha opäť priblíži klasické rodinné situácie tentoraz z pohľadu šesťročnej dcérky Lili, ktorá si starostlivo všíma výchovné metódy rodičov, hlavne voči svojej staršej, už tínedžerskej sestre Laure, a s dávkou humoru ponúka milé riešenia či svoj názor na nielen ich reakcie. Jednoducho, mať v domácnosti pubertiaka, ale ani žiť v jeho koži, nie je vôbec jednoduché!
Knižku o hravé ilustrácie obohatila talentovaná Petra Lukovicsová.

Rozprávka o zázračnom prameni šťastia
Kde vám bolo, tam vám bolo,
v jednej krásnej krajine,
všetko bolo dobrovoľné,
len rozprávky povinné.
A tou krásnou krajinou bola naša vlasť, Slovensko. Naše milované Slovensko, plné lesov, lúk a strání, jazier, riek a vôd. Aj vzácnych, usmievavých a troška tajuplných vôd, ktoré sa skrývajú v hlbinách zeme a ktoré len z času na čas pošlú niekoľko svojich zvedavých kvapiek na priezvedy do šíreho sveta. Alebo ich treba nájsť. Objaviť ich krásu a vďačnosť ich liečivej sily. A o tom je aj táto rozprávka. Rozprávka plná slovenskosti, slovenčiny i človečiny, teda ľudskosti a lásky ku všetkým ľuďom na svete. Ale aj rozprávka plná úsilia, námahy i dôvtipu hľadača, lebo – raz darmo – cesta za objavením prameňa krásy a šťastia býva odjakživa taká. Je to rozprávka, ktorú by náš najväčší rozprávkar Pavol Dobšinský bez váhania zaradil do svojej bohatej zbierky slovenských ľudových rozprávok. Lenže Rozprávka o zázračnom prameni šťastia vtedy ešte nebola na svete. No teraz už je. Našla ju Báseň. Vstúpila básnikovi do sna a zostala v ňom až do konca. Preto je aj plná poézie, plná básničiek, čo túžia po kráse slovenského slova.

Ways of Telling
‘Ways of Telling isn't like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the ear at the door? It is its own thing.’ Margaret Atwood‘I couldn’t love it more. After the very first story I had a huge wide grin on my face. More more more! Every single story could be an award-winning short film. I love, love, love it.’ Carey Mulligan‘An extraordinary book. Xandra Bingley's darting, curious eyes miss nothing and we follow them with her at a headlong speed. I wish I could write like that.’ Harriet Walter‘Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Ways of Telling knocked the breath out of me. It’s dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision.’ Olivia Laing‘The pieces in this book are just the right size to blow one’s mind in a train or on a tram: they have a most unusual delicacy, wit and freshness, and their physical world is powerfully seductive.’ Helen GarnerFrom the bestselling author of Bertie, May & Mrs Fish comes a remarkable collection of stories. As a bystander at Princess Diana’s funeral, a fan at a James Brown concert, a passenger on a Welsh bus and a patient in a hectic hospital, Xandra Bingley’s vivid portraits of everyday experience remind us of the fleeting and mysterious transience of life.

Project V
STEMinist mecha fantasy meets reality television in this high-stakes novel from the author of A Magical Girl Retires--a wildly imaginative tale of sibling bonds, unexpected friendship, and an existential quest to understand what it means to be human.
Robotics student Kim Wooram, runner-up at the World Gigantic Mechanics Olympiad, is a world-class pilot and engineer. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she likes working solo, preferring the company of robots to most other humans. Sought by robotics centers across the globe, she chooses to return to Korea after learning of an exciting new secret government robotic project known as V. To her disappointment, only male pilots are allowed to apply.
Desperate for a chance to make history and encouraged by her twin brother, Boram, the usual rule-following Wooram makes a risky choice. Posing as Boram, she auditions for Project V, the reality competition show whose winner will pilot the robot V--and quickly becomes one of the top contestants in both skill and popularity. Wooram attracts fans and friends like Seojin, the show's youngest female writer and ardent "Boram" stan, and Jeonghoon, the clumsy but lovable underdog. She also gains a rival in Jinyoung, the ruthless heir to a Korean corporate dynasty.
As Wooram comes tantalizingly close to achieving her goal, she begins to realize that V's arrogant AI is a ticking time bomb. With victory within reach, and her identity at stake, will Wooram destroy the robot of her dreams to save lives, or stick to the script?
Project V is a playful yet sharp meditation on some of the most pressing issues roiling modern society in Korea and across the globe: the male dominance in STEM fields, the ethics of parasocial idolatry and our addiction to social media and reality television, and the promise and peril of an AI-oriented future. Punchy and compelling, Park Seolyeon's novel is a winning exploration of ambition and creation--a quintessential novel of our present and future for mecha fans and all curious readers.

Draiocht Ceoil
Within us all is the ability to hear the magic of sound, to use music and words to create a new reality. In Irish traditions this is known as Dra ocht Ceoil - 'music magic' - an ancient art deeply rooted in Ireland s mythology and culture, used for generations to harness the power of sound for connecting to natural magical energy. This is the first book of its kind to examine the tradition of Dra ocht Ceoil, its ancient roots in the poetic tradition of Old Ireland, and its evolution into a vital part of Irish folk magic practices. From its early times, Irish society has elevated the roles of poet and musician to facilitators of magic, which has evolved into a rich tradition of both domestic and political magic, surviving throughout Ireland into the modern era, adapting to the needs of its generations. No musical or literary expertise is needed, only a love of sound and creativity, for Dra ocht Ceoil to add depth to your magical practice. Its application to meditation and journeying will make it a perfect addition to your spiritual path.
Higher Education in China
Assessing the trajectory of China's higher education system amid competing domestic priorities and global ambitions. By 2025, China had twice as many college students as the United States, four times as many STEM graduates, and double the number of STEM PhDs. What will it mean for the global future when a quarter of a billion Chinese citizens hold higher education degrees? In this timely book, Gerard A. Postiglione—an internationally recognized authority on Chinese education—offers a panoramic view of the world's largest state-directed higher education system and its complex interplay with China's social, economic, and geopolitical ambitions. At the center of Postiglione's analysis is the tension between domestic imperatives and global aspirations. As China aims to cultivate a world-significant higher education system by 2035, it faces a trio of formidable challenges: graduate employment, equitable access, and governance reform. Higher Education in China unpacks how elite Chinese research institutions and rapidly expanding second- and third-tier colleges are navigating these pressures amid a shifting landscape shaped by urban-rural inequality, labor market demands, and technological disruption. Based on policy consultation with China's Ministry of Education and on-the-ground research in nearly every province, Postiglione's account brings unmatched depth and perspective. He traces how returnee scholars, massification policies, and regional development initiatives have transformed campuses and classrooms, while also posing difficult questions about sustainability, quality, and inclusion. Higher Education in China illustrates how the country's evolving academic system may influence its long-term trajectory—and, by extension, reshape the global order of knowledge and innovation.

Sacred Homemaking
Transform your house into a living sanctuary with ritual, magic, and gratitude Kimberly Steele defines the home as the seat of the soul; it is our personal ecosystem, rich with spirits and elemental energies. Within this context the concept of ‘sacred homemaking’ can be defined as a constant conversation with these spirits of place. All too often we devalue our homes, viewing them in purely monetary terms, as collections of ‘things’ without consciousness or sentience. Sacred Homemaking invites us to reconsider this relationship, instead prioritising thankfulness and gratitude, to deepen our relationships with the spirits in our homes. Through the course of this book, Steele proves that by practicing gratitude, the sacred homemaker learns to communicate with such beings to bring order, balance, and serenity into the home. Sacred Homemaking takes a clear and intuitive structure, following the wheel of the year with sections divided across the four seasons. It offers examples of different offerings and rituals that can be performed to approve the sanctity of the home. Examples include cleaning rituals; hoodoo spray; alchemical kitchen work; etheric and astral pyramids; spells; divination; folding methods; astral purification; gardening advice; haunted objects; dealing with poltergeists; and much more!In the busy, materialistic world of the twenty-first century, Kimberly Steele’s methodology is a refreshing reminder to introduce mindfulness and intention into our everyday lives, starting with something as simple, yet infinitely important, as the home.

My Morandi
The Italian painter Giorgio Morandi is recounted as a friend and artist in this memoir by Luigi Magnani, an art historian and devoted collector of Morandi's work.
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi painted serial and permutational arrangements of everyday objects that elevated the quotidian into the sublime. In 1940, he struck up a decades-long friendship with entrepreneur, musicologist, art historian, and collector Luigi Magnani.
My Morandi is the first full-length English translation of Magnani's memoir reflecting on his bond with the artist and his long-standing academic and personal interest in Morandi's paintings. In My Morandi, Magnani considers the artist's aloofness from artistic trends and his dedication to painting for a small, discerning audience. He locates Morandi within the art-historical canon as well as recounts their artistic and intellectual kinship, which led to a unique, rich collection of Morandi's work at Magnani's villa in Mamiano, now the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Magnani's personal collection of Morandi's work was on view at David Zwirner, New York, in 2025. Originally published in 1982 in Italian, this memoir is accompanied by a new preface by Alice Ensabella and includes an introduction by Stefano Roffi, director of the Magnani Rocca Foundation.
