Yulu's Linen
A talented young artist battles with the linen she’s trying to paint on in this inspiring picture book about the power of perseverance from two Hans Christian Andersen Award–winning creators.Yulu has all the makings of a great artist, her teachers and parents agree. But can she paint a self-portrait? Yulu isn’t sure, even when she finds the perfect canvas made of special linen. She summons her courage and paints. But the next day, the paint has run and oozed and dripped—the painting is ruined! Yulu picks her brush back up, but day after day, the linen of her canvas itself seems to be rebuffing her attempts. Yulu, undeterred, works on and on. More than a battle with the opinionated linen, this artistic battle is one Yulu wages with herself. Through determination and hard work, can she grow past her natural talent and prove herself worthy of the task before her?
Keshed
In the derelict shell of what was once his family home, a dying man surveys the wreckage of his former life and drinks himself senseless, haunted by the chain of events that led him there. Dark, complex, and visceral, Keshed is an unflinching character study exploring class, belonging, fatherhood, and conflicting ideals of modern masculinity. At heart, it's the story of a relationship struggling to cope with the impossible pressures of raising a child under late-stage capitalism; but it's also a love letter to the working-class North, from the grinding poverty of Thatcher's '80s to the present day.

And the Corpse Wore Tartan
From Stuart MacBride, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Logan McRae series. Move Over Miss Marple . . . The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Highlands, for the wedding of the year – but they weren’t expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, horribly drunk. The whole valley’s been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride’s body is discovered – decoratively impaled on a stag’s head in the hotel lobby – it’s up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn’t easy when you’ve got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup. With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she’s going to catch the killer and get out of there alive. Praise for Stuart MacBride:‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ – Peter James, author of Picture You Dead‘Dark and brilliantly written’ – Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You‘Crime fiction of the highest order’ – Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance
Lessons from a Default Parent
What nobody tells you about parenthood, from one of the ‘silent partners’ behind the Parenting Hell podcast.
School-run coordinator, party planner, clubs organiser, laundry sorter… and maybe even a ‘real’ job on top! Sound exhaustingly familiar?
From assumptions surrounding who is going to stay at home with the kids to the never-ending list of school admin, being ‘the default parent’ rears its head in a plethora of ways.
This book is for all the defaults out there – bored out of their eyeballs or so overwhelmed they could scream expletives into the wind for a solid hour – to know their invisible labour is seen and valued.
With heartfelt and hilarious advice, Lou Beckett provides much-needed comfort and community for the one who is depended on the most (and often feels appreciated the least), and maybe – just maybe – how we can begin to rebalance the parenting scales and muddle through a little better, together.
Calm Your ADHD Brain
A powerful toolkit to help challenge your spiralling thoughts, stop ruminating and learn to work with your neurodivergent brain
'If your ADHD brain has made you believe you’re the problem, let this be your reminder: you’re not. You just need the right support, the right language and a whole lot of self-compassion.'
In this compassionate and empowering toolkit, Emma Llewellyn will guide you through rumination and spiralling thoughts, explaining why they happen and how you can learn to manage your mind every day. Instead of trying to 'fix' your neurodivergent brain or 'recover' from your diagnosis, Calm Your ADHD Brain will validate your experience and equip you with simple, practical tools to help your brain feel less overwhelmed.
With easy-to-follow tips, bite-sized information and personal experiences of living with ADHD, this book will help you challenge your overthinking mind, transform your uncontrollable thoughts and turn frustration into self-compassion. Your brain is not broken. It doesn't need fixing. And you can work with it, not against it.
What Does it Feel Like
Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain.
As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again ? and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children ? she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it.
Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again.
Environmentální vzdělávání pro udržitelný rozvoj cestovního ruchu
Tato monografie se v souladu s principy udržitelného rozvoje věnuje významnému a stále aktuálnějšímu tématu – environmentální výchově a vzdělávání v cestovním ruchu. Ukazuje, že příroda a krajina nejsou pouze atraktivními prvky turistické nabídky, ale také klíčovými předpoklady jejího dlouhodobého rozvoje. Proto je nezbytné posilovat povědomí aktérů cestovního ruchu o jejich odpovědnosti a o reálném dopadu jejich činností.
Publikace mapuje environmentální znalosti, postoje a chování těch, kteří cestovní ruch tvoří a ovlivňují, a nabízí konkrétní nástroje pro praxi. Výsledkem výzkumného šetření je mimo jiné miniprůvodce udržitelným cestováním, návrh optimalizace dopadů pěší turistiky či kompetenční model určený podnikatelům působícím v chráněných územích. Závěr knihy přináší ucelenou metodiku hodnocení udržitelného cestovního ruchu, kterou lze využít jak v řízení destinací, tak v odborné přípravě pracovníků v oboru.
Monografie zdůrazňuje potřebu systematického prosazování principů udržitelnosti – od nenásilné environmentální edukace veřejnosti až po vzdělávání ve školách. Osvěta a porozumění nutnosti chránit přírodu a krajinu představují zásadní krok k odpovědnému cestování a k budoucnosti, kterou chceme společně sdílet.

J. R. R. Tolkien
The only authorised biography, and the only one written by an author who actually met J.R.R. Tolkien, now reissued as a deluxe edition housed in a matching custom-built slipcase and featuring the original 16 pages of photographic plates illustrating the author's life. In more than 40 years since Tolkien’s death in September 1973, millions have read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and become fascinated about the very private man behind the books. Born in Bloemfontein in January 1892, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was orphaned in childhood, brought up in near-poverty and almost thwarted in adolescent romance. He served in the First World War, surviving the Battle of the Somme, where he lost some of his closest friends, and returned to academic life, achieving high repute as a scholar and university teacher, eventually becoming Merton Professor of English at Oxford. Then suddenly his life changed dramatically. One day while marking essay papers he found himself writing ‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit’ – and worldwide renown awaited him. Humphrey Carpenter was given unrestricted access to all Tolkien’s papers, and interviewed his friends and family. From these sources he follows the long and painful process of creation that produced The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and offers a wealth of information about the life and work of the twentieth century’s most cherished author.
