The Waterbearers
A heartfelt memoir exploring Black womanhood, motherhood and culture; perfect for fans of Toni Morrison and Stay True by Hua Hsu. ‘A tale of evolution and hope’ – Hilton Als, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of White Girls‘One of the most beautiful and truthful books I’ve ever read.’ - Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America--------------'Wherever there is water, there is mystery. And mystery breeds mythology.'When Sasha Bonét’s grandmother, Betty Jean, raised eleven children in a Texas bayou house, she did it alone, creating a home that was the heart of their family. Her daughter, Mama Connie, vowed to live differently but found herself echoing her mother’s struggles. Now, Sasha navigates motherhood, reflecting on the legacies of Black women like Nina Simone, Betty Davis, Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks and Darnella Frazier (the woman who told the world about George Floyd) to build a portrait of Black womanhood through time. From mundane yet powerful mornings at the kitchen table to moments of courageously taking on the world at large in the fight for dignity, Bonét explores the trials and triumphs of Black matriarchy – escape, promise, burden, assent and rebellion – weaving personal history with cultural narratives. With clear-eyed tenderness, The Waterbearers reveals intimate vignettes mixed with cultural history of Black women who have built legacies and changed the world through the ties of love – and complexity – that bind them. Praise for The Waterbearers:‘A bold new entry in the canon of literature about Black motherhood’ – Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of Libertie ‘Magnificent… Bonét dances on our hearts in this classic creation of will and wit. Electrifying and incredibly sturdy. Wow.’ – Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy‘The Waterbearers is a wonder of a book ? raw in its honesty, tender in its gaze, lyrical and luminous on the page.' – Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory‘An epic love song and a remarkable ballad of generations…the women in these pages [have] forever deepened my understanding of motherhood, history, homecoming, and the revolutionary potential of love.’ - Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams

Learning from Silence
From the bestselling author of The Art of Stillness, a revelatory exploration of the abiding clarity and calm to be found in quiet retreatOver the past three decades, Pico Iyer has made more than a hundred journeys to a small hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He's not a Christian, nor a member of any religious group, and yet his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. In Learning from Silence, Iyer travels deep into inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery, even as his life is going through constant change: houses burn, a parent dies, a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences, alongside wisdom from other non-monastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. Most profoundly, he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing, he offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life - and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there's a space for quiet and recollection that's open to us all. Radiant, intimate and gripping, Learning from Silence offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live, how to love and, ultimately, how to die.
School Isn't For Everyone (and what you can do instead)
Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach. Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment. This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application. School Isn''t For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents'' role is and explores what children do all day when they don''t follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-to-day life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored. Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.

Tiny Gardens Everywhere
In the heart of bustling European and American cities lies an overlooked yet vibrant corner of resilience, ingenuity and magic: our gardens.
From pre-industrial England to modern-day Ohio, via the Paris Commune, Barackia in pre-war Berlin, Soviet allotments in Estonia, the orchards tended by Black migrants in Washington and food forests in contemporary Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other and with nature, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Over the past three hundred years, these tiny gardens, often born from necessity and shaped by precarity, immigration and environmental crisis, have thrived by recycling nutrients, remedying contaminated soil and transforming how we think about our relationship to the earth.
Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a hymn to the most fertile agriculture in recorded human history, showing that it occurred not on farms - the product of gigantic exertions of fossil fuels and technology - but with little effort in small garden beds. And the resourcefulness, intuition and inherited methods of their growers accomplished many of today's sustainability goals by producing local, diverse and organic food.
Acclaimed historian Kate Brown unearths the long and battered story of gardeners and their gardens, asking what happens when these urban Edens are not seen as retreats from the city but become part of its social fabric, alive with histories of displacement, conflict and resistance. This is a book about land, but also about community, repair and the quiet revolutions that begin when someone plants a seed in unloved ground.
On Morrison
Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and most beloved of writers, has inspired generations of readers. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Namwali Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer - and her work is highly complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and professor to illuminate Toni Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form.
This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her vivid fiction and criticism, as well as her lesser-known dramatic works and poetry - with contextual guidance and original close readings. Accessible and thrillingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant American authors of our time, but how to approach any great work of literature. The conversation between the two black women artist-readers that rises from these pages is stylish, edifying and spectacular in its scope and erudition.
Kétszáz éves szerelem - Éldekorált kiadás
Szentirmai Róza családjában a bábamesterség anyáról lányára szálló tudomány – őt is szívesen hívják a falubeliek, ha gyermek érkezik a házhoz. De ismer gyógyírt a női test és lélek minden bajára, kezében van a csábítás és a testi örömök fokozására szolgáló csodaszerek titka, ahogy az összetört szívek balzsama is, férfinak, nőnek egyaránt. Az a szóbeszéd járja, hogy tudása nem e világi: felmenői között boszorkány is akadt.
Egy napon Rózát furcsa, valóságosnak tűnő álomból ébresztik. Míg álmában máglyára vetették, a valóságban a háza ég le. Bár fiával sértetlenül megmenekülnek, hamuvá és porrá lett életükből semmi más nem marad, csak egy bordó, bőrkötéses könyv – egy hosszú évszázadokat átfogó napló, amely a semmiből került elő, benne egy üzenettel. Róza késztetést érez, hogy beleírjon egy kérdést a bordó könyvbe, és megdöbbentő módon válasz érkezik. Válasz – kétszáz évvel korábbról. Róza kíváncsian ered útnak, hogy megtudja, ki írhatta a sorokat. Miközben az árvíz után újjászülető Szeged utcáit járja a könyvvel a kezében, egyre többet tud meg egy olyan világról, amelynek már a nyomai is csak az emlékezetben élnek. A könyv sorai az egykori Boszorkányszigetre vezetik, ahol a fák és gyomok között meghallja a múlt suttogását, a talpa alatt érzi az egykori máglyák hamujának perzselő érintését.
BAUER BARBARA regénye egy évszázadokon átívelő, mágikus szerelem története, amelyben párhuzamosan elevenedik meg a híres szegedi boszorkányperek sötét időszaka és a két világháború közötti Magyarország falusi valósága. A nagy kérdések – mit jelent nőnek lenni, mi kell a boldogsághoz, az igaz szerelemhez – talán minden korban ugyanazok. Egy azonban biztos: mindezekhez férfi kell, mégpedig az igazi!

A nyomok Nagylapály birodalmába vezetnek, ahol találkozunk Nyár Lőrinccel, Zivatarzug lovagjaival, Hötödik Hőbörödött királlyal, és a világ legpimaszabb leányzójával, akire nem lehet haragudni. Kiderül, mi van a Mély Kút mélyén, és hogy miért nincs tó, ha van.
The Overtime Kiss
Just what every bride dreams of-running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids' nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I'd never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a nannying job I desperately need-and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
Until one night, the tension snaps.
Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.
But the more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it's just physical. Because I'm not only falling for my boss-I'm falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.
Tropes:
- ice hockey romance
- single dad/nanny
- runaway bride
- forced proximity
- spicy lessons
- she's his daughter's skating coach
- confession of all secrets
- love notes
- found family
The Essential Anna Politkovskaya
Twenty years ago Putin's fiercest critic was gunned down.
Anna Politkovskaya was one of the great, heroic investigative journalists of the modern era. Shining a light on Russian state corruption, human rights abuses, and the brutal conflict in Chechnya she was renowned for her unwavering commitment to exposing the harsh realities of life in Russia under Vladimir Putin's regime. That was until her violent murder in 2006.
In this collection, published ahead of the twentieth anniversary of her death, the raw, unflinching prose that defined Politkovskaya's career is brought together to provide an unparalleled look at the complexities of modern Russia and the enduring fight for human rights within it. Through vivid storytelling and courageous reporting, Politkovskaya delves into themes of political oppression, the struggle for justice, and the resilience of the human spirit.
The Essential Anna Politkovskaya is not just a tribute to a remarkable journalist, but a crucial reminder of the power of the written word to challenge authority and inspire change.

As a craftsman masters skillfully the tools and materials in its small saddlery shop, bringing his creations to life, a dog enters with a special request. Gently and kindly, the craftsman works to fulfill the dog's earnest needs. With joy, the dog invites the craftsman for a walk, and as they walk, they encounter animals of one kind or another. A little bit of magic, his hands and his tools are all it takes for the craftsman to grant their wishes one by one. With perfectly crafted creations, the animals arn delighted by its magic.
