The Open Era
A sizzling new adult sports romance, for fans of Heated Rivalry, Challengers, Carrie Soto is Back and Red, White and Royal Blue.
Game. Set. Perfect Match?
Recently-turned-pro tennis player Austin Hardy has been out since high school, and it's never been a big deal. That is, until he becomes the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. Suddenly, being gay is a huge deal.
If the newly found fame wasn't enough to send Austin spiralling, then tripping and falling in front of the very talented, very attractive, (probably) straight World #2, Diego Cruz, is the last straw.
Only, the awkward gaffe marks the start of a blossoming friendship off the court. But when Diego admits his attraction to Austin, the flirty banter and mixed signals start to throw Austin off his game. And neither player wants to acknowledge their looming showdown at the fourth round of the US Open.
Only one can win in the game of tennis, but who will win in the game of love?
Empire on the Cheap
In the nineteenth century, France embarked on the colonization of whole swathes of Africa and Asia. What drove this policy, and what methods did it use to establish and enforce French domination? What disruptive effects did this have on the colonized societies, and what did it mean for their economic and social development? Today, can we say they have been completely decolonized? Empire on the Cheap offers new answers to these ever-controversial questions. Drawing on extensive archival work and statistical analysis, Denis Cogneau offers a richly detailed description of the colonial states and how they functioned, with a particular focus on issues of taxation, military recruitment, capital flows and inequalities. He shows that the Empire cost France little until the wars of independence following World War II, and that capital from France did not trickle down to the colonies. The French Republic proclaimed its 'civilizing mission', but its rule did not lead to the development of the occupied countries, and instead established violent colonial regimes with ambiguous and sometimes conflicting goals. Such regimes mainly benefited a small minority of French colonists and capitalists. Yet, even after winning independence, nationalist elites in the former colonies most often maintained an authoritarian and deeply unequal state order. Examining both the evolution of the colonized societies and what has become of them after independence, Cogneau makes a major contribution to our understanding of imperialism, past and present.
Medzisvet
Medzisvet je fotografická kniha autorky Zuzany Lobotkovej obsahujúca sériu štyridsiatich atmosférických fotografií lesa, hmly a zvierat zachytených v tichu prirodzeného okamihu. Nejde o dokument prírody ani klasickú obrazovú publikáciu — Medzisvet vytvára priestor pre vnútorné zastavenie, vnímanie a tiché pozorovanie. Fotografie vznikajú bez inscenácie a bez potreby efektu. Zachytávajú jemné premeny svetla, prítomnosť jeleňov v hmle či okamihy, keď sa hranica medzi človekom a krajinou na chvíľu stráca. Kniha pracuje s atmosférou ticha, spomalenia a prítomnosti a pozýva čitateľa vstúpiť do medzipriestoru medzi vnútorným a vonkajším svetom. V symbolickej rovine sa v diele objavuje jeleň ako bytosť stojaca na prahu známeho a neznámeho — sprievodca krajinou, kde sa svet nestáva objektom pozorovania, ale skúsenosťou bytia. Les tu nie je kulisou, ale živým priestorom, v ktorom sa čas spomaľuje a zostáva len ticho, prítomnosť a vedomie okamihu. Medzisvet osloví milovníkov autorskej fotografie, prírody, vizuálnej meditácie a poetických obrazových publikácií. Je to kniha bez potreby vysvetlení — tichá pozvánka vstúpiť na chvíľu do lesa a jednoducho byť.

The Ten Stories
Out of the countless experiences in a lifetime, why are certain narratives chosen, repeated, and preserved by aging individuals? The Ten Stories suggests that most elderly people return to a core set of approximately ten stories as they reflect on their lives. The significance of those narratives lies not in their factual details, but in the values and meanings they convey. Most stories told are set during late adolescence and early adulthood – often eight or nine out of ten originate during this period. The stories are also audience-specific, as they are shaped by the relationship between teller and listener. The book explores how stories told by mothers are different than those told by fathers; how stories told to sons differ from those told to daughters; and how the stories of immigrant parents differ from non-immigrants. Social scientist and health policy researcher Mary Ann McColl provides insight into what older adults may be expressing through repeated stories. She shares twenty recurring themes emerging from the stories – such as overcoming obstacles, showing kindness, regrets and resentments, and standing up for what’s right – that represent an opportunity for connection and understanding, rather than a source of frustration. This book offers practical strategies for listening more effectively and appreciating those narratives as intentional, meaningful acts of communication.
A Logician's Code of Conduct
The logic we rely on every day to help us communicate and make decisions can also reinforce injustice. Logic is often treated as a neutral arena for reasoning, but that supposed neutrality can fail to include everyone on fair terms. When certain ways of thinking are dismissed as incoherent reasoning, logic itself can become a tool of exclusion, supporting patterns of oppression, silencing voices, and erasing people. Drawing on lessons from feminist, queer, and post-colonial theory, A Logician’s Code of Conduct challenges us to listen more carefully to those who have been pushed to the margins of social and intellectual life – not just public voices, but people in our workplaces, communities, and families. Instead of demanding that people continually defend their deeply held beliefs, logic can be a flexible and revisable framework that adapts to multiple perspectives. Patrick Girard outlines a code of conduct to make logic more just: be transparent about assumptions, negotiate standards suited to each context, and recognize others as coherent reasoners. Logic, Girard argues, can both liberate and connect us, creating spaces of inquiry that are not only neutral but also equitable. In clear, accessible prose and free of formal symbolism, A Logician’s Code of Conduct is a bold and original contribution to logic and social philosophy. Girard demonstrates that logic is not an abstract discipline reserved for philosophers, but a practical resource we all use every day – and one we can learn to apply more fairly and effectively.

Zákonník práce – zákon s komentárom
Dňa 15. apríla 2026 bol schválený nový zákon zákona o rovnakom odmeňovaní mužov a žien za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty. Zákon svojím spôsobom ovplyvňuje aj základný pracovnoprávny predpis, ktorým je Zákonník práce. Vzhľadom na novú právnu úpravu sa v Zákonníku práce vypustila úprava o práve na rovnakú mzdu pre mužov a ženy a ponechal sa odkaz na úpravu rovnakého odmeňovania na osobitný predpis, ktorým je práve nový zákon č. 76/2026 Z. z. Právo na rovnaké odmeňovanie podľa nového zákona je totiž širšie, nezahŕňa iba mzdu, ale všetky základné a doplnkové zložky odmeny. V ustanovená § 119a Zákonníka práce sa ponechalo zakotvenie práva na rovnaké odmeňovanie pre osoby rovnakého pohlavia za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty s tým, že rovnaká práca alebo práca rovnakej hodnoty sa v záujme jednotnosti bude určovať na základe tých istých kritérií ako v novom zákone.
Bacon Disfigured
A collection of essays that opens up new connections between Francis Bacon's art and the ideas of key thinkers.
Francis Bacon is undoubtedly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. In his paintings, Bacon radically disfigures his subjects, making them all but unrecognizable. This is no mere stylistic quirk, but the expression of a deeply held aesthetic vision. For Bacon, the essence of a subject can only be captured in the distorted recording of its appearance. His disfigurations are therefore, as he himself says, attempts to bring back the intensity of reality, to paint images that are 'truer than the literal truth'.
In this groundbreaking collection of essays, some of today's leading philosophers and psychoanalytic theorists go to work on Bacon. They do to the artist what the artist does to his own figures: they disfigure and distort him, twisting and turning him into something new and previously unseen. This strategy of disfiguration blasts Bacon out of his traditional contexts, opening up new connections between his art and the ideas of key thinkers, including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Freud, Canguilhem, Genet, Lacan, Adorno and Althusser. The results are revelatory, allowing us to transform our understanding not only of Bacon but also of modernism itself.
Lamborghini
Since the unveiling of the Lamborghini Miura – the world’s first V12-powered mid-engine road car – at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, this marque from Sant’Agata Bolognese with the raging bull emblem has been one of the most famous and desirable purveyors of the supercar. Valentino Balboni, legendary former Lamborghini test driver, has been famously quoted as saying “Lamborghini is a carmaker that makes engines, the job of the designers was to design the engine cover.” Yet, in its almost six decades long history, the supercar maker has constructed just four different engines: the extraordinary Giotto Bizzarrini-designed V12 that powered Lamborghini’s flagships for the best part of five decades, a promising V8 that almost brought the company to its knees, a V10 that uses many Audi components and has been the mainstay of the marque in the last two decades, and lastly another newer V12, powering the Aventador. However, what has really distinguished Lamborghini, has been a series of models with remarkable, groundbreaking shapes, each one a veritable design revolution. Cars like the Miura, the Espada, the Urraco, the Countach and the Diablo astounded and startled automotive fans just as much by their daring shape, form and aesthetic purity, as by their second-to-none engineering and trendsetting packaging. This book celebrates the design history of Lamborghini through numerous period reports and previously unpublished images, delving into the extraordinary shapes and the intrepid personalities who made Lamborghini what it is today. .
Vzpomínky na mrtvé
V tomto mrazivém románu autora „nezapomenutelného a děsivého“ (cit. Harlan Coben) Honu na Bubáka se skupina studentů během cesty po Apalačských horách střetne s nadpřirozenou hrůzou.
1983: Tři vysokoškolští studenti se vydávají na týdenní výlet, aby pro svůj školní projekt natočili dokument o pomníčcích u silnice. Projekt začíná jako zábavné dobrodružství provázené dlouhými jízdami po prázdných silnicích a nočními táboráky, kde se sobě navzájem začínají otevírat.
Když se však odváží vydat hlouběji do apalačských lesů, atmosféra začíná temnět. Všímají si, že stále více památníků obsahuje zvláštní, znepokojivý symbol, který ukazuje na zlověstné tajemství. Paranoia se prohlubuje, když se jim začne zdát, že jsou sledováni. S jejich vozidlem je přes noc manipulováno a někteří místní obyvatelé působí všelijak, jen ne vlídně.
Zanedlouho začne studenty trápit otázka, zda tato úmrtí na silnici byla skutečně náhodnými nehodami… nebo se tady děje cosi děsivého?

V osmnácti letech se Marie nechá dobrovolně hospitalizovat v psychiatrické léčebně. Od té chvíle jde ale všechno z kopce. Mrazivě upřímný příběh z místa, kde se nikdo z nás netouží ocitnout.
Marie má milující rodiče, stabilní zázemí a všechny předpoklady pro šťastný život. Něco je ale špatně. Přestává jíst, řeže se žiletkou a z videí na YouTube se naučí píchat si heroin, jen aby umlčela hlasy v hlavě. Jenže ty se umlčet nedají. Nutí ji odmítat léky a trestat se, jinak prý ublíží její rodině. Hranice mezi halucinacemi a realitou se rozplývá.
Marie se zas a znovu vrací na uzavřené oddělení. Tam tráví dlouhé hodiny i celé dny připoutaná k lůžku. Podstupuje léčbu elektrošoky. Nic ovšem nezabírá. Selhává systém, selhává ona sama. Přesto temnotou občas probleskne naděje, humor a lidskost.

Mother Mary Comes To Me
The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2026
'Heart-smashed' by the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen and shaken by the intensity of her response, Arundhati Roy began this remarkable memoir - a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is: shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother, Mary, who she describes as 'my shelter and my storm'.
With the scale, sweep and depth of her novels, and the passion, political clarity and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace - a memoir like no other.
A Taste For Murder
For Detective Chief Inspector Joe Mottram, a summer on the island of Capri was meant to be an opportunity to reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, Angelica, and his Italian in-laws, after his wife's Francesca's death by a hit-and-run.
But when a British tourist is found dead and a member of his late wife's family is accused of murder, Joe is pulled back into a world of police cells, crime scenes and local corruption. As he discovers more about the island, he realises it holds the answers to Francesca's death, which may not have been a tragic accident after all.
Going Nuclear
What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.
Ferment
An inspiring guide to the life-changing power of fermentation from world-leading gut scientist and no. 1 bestselling author Tim Spector
From kombucha and kefir to sourdough, miso and coffee, Professor Tim Spector dispels the myths around fermented foods. He explains what fermented foods are, what to look for when buying them, how to make them at home, and why adding simple ferments to everyday meals can transform your gut health and overall well-being.
Blending cutting-edge science with practical, reassuring advice, Ferment shows how small changes to what's on your plate can make a big difference to your health.
The Revolutionists
A thrilling and unprecedented account of the radicalism and political extremism that gripped the 1970s - a seismic decade that transformed the modern world.
In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, all united by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and 'Western imperialism'. Their audacious attacks brought governments to their knees and glued nations to their TV screens.
Drawing on decades of research, declassified and secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. In this underground realm of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to radical change at any cost, he reveals the dark origins of our fractured world today.
Against Identity
A philosopher explains why the search for identity is meaningless, and how we should escape the self
Modern life encourages us to pursue the perfect identity. Whether we aspire to become the best lawyer or charity worker, life partner or celebrity influencer, we emulate exemplars that exist in the world - hoping it will bring us happiness. But this often leads to a complex game of envy and pride. We achieve these identities but want others to imitate us. We disagree with those whose identities contradict ours - leading to polarisation and even violence. And yet when they thump against us, we are ashamed to ring hollow.
In Against Identity, philosopher Alexander Douglas seeks an alternative wisdom. Searching the work of three thinkers - ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, Dutch Enlightenment thinker Benedict de Spinoza, and 20th Century French theorist René Girard - he explores how identity can be a spiritual violence that leads us away from truth.
Through their worlds and radically different cultures, we discover how, at moments of historical rupture, our hunger for being grows: and yet, it is exactly these times when we should make peace with our indeterminacy and discover the freedom of escaping our selves.
