How to Listen
A lively new translation of Plutarch’s charming and timeless essay on how to be a good listener—and why listening is essential to learning and living wellListening is a skill—even an art—and it’s essential to learning and to life. Indeed, as Plutarch writes in How to Listen, “listening well is the foundation for living well.” In this volume, Jeffrey Beneker presents a vivid and accessible new translation of Plutarch’s classic essay about how to become a skilled listener, complete with an inviting introduction and the original Greek on facing pages. Plutarch is most famous as the author of Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of Greek and Roman statesmen. But he was also an expert on teaching and learning and How to Listen is arguably one of his best pedagogical works. A proponent of active listening well before its time, Plutarch explains the skills we need—and the obstacles and distractions we must overcome—to become effective listeners. Good listening requires, above all, an acknowledgement of our own ignorance in certain subjects and a commitment to gaining knowledge. We must set aside pride and envy so we can respect the expertise of others. We must also train ourselves to see through style and focus on substance, to discriminate between weak and strong arguments, and to criticize ideas fairly and accurately. Filled with shrewd insights and advice, How to Listen shows how to cultivate a skill that everyone who wants to learn and live well must master.

Making Money in the Early Middle Ages
An examination of coined money and its significance to rulers, aristocrats and peasants in early medieval EuropeBetween the end of the Roman Empire in the fifth century and the economic transformations of the twelfth, coined money in western Europe was scarce and high in value, difficult for the majority of the population to make use of. And yet, as Rory Naismith shows in this illuminating study, coined money was made and used throughout early medieval Europe. It was, he argues, a powerful tool for articulating people’s place in economic and social structures and an important gauge for levels of economic complexity. Working from the premise that using coined money carried special significance when there was less of it around, Naismith uses detailed case studies from the Mediterranean and northern Europe to propose a new reading of early medieval money as a point of contact between economic, social, and institutional history. Naismith examines structural issues, including the mining and circulation of metal and the use of bullion and other commodities as money, and then offers a chronological account of monetary development, discussing the post-Roman period of gold coinage, the rise of the silver penny in the seventh century and the reconfiguration of elite power in relation to coinage in the tenth and eleventh centuries. In the process, he counters the conventional view of early medieval currency as the domain only of elite gift-givers and intrepid long-distance traders. Even when there were few coins in circulation, Naismith argues, the ways they were used—to give gifts, to pay rents, to spend at markets—have much to tell us.
Tara Bernerd: A Design Journey
Bernerd is known for creating interiors that have a very special sense of place. Firm in her belief that 'good design transports us without us being entirely conscious of the fact,' she aspires to take us out of the day-to-day to places we don t want to leave and give us the desire to bring a piece of that back home. Committed to the utility of good design, Bernerd works on an increasingly global platform with projects around the world. Hailed by the Financial Times for combining 'impeccable craftsmanship and timeless style,' her keen eye for composition and detailing and remarkable flair for color and texture make her one of the most sought-after interior designers in the world. Renowned for her insight on the allure of the exotic, the designer invites the reader to apply lessons from their own wanderings. She utilizes her sophisticated eye for detail, carefully selecting books, candles, glassware, and trays in order to enhance every element of design. Beautifully illustrated with stunning images of Bernerd s latest projects, a lifetime of learning and collaborating is employed to great effect in the sun-dappled rooms of a summer home in Ibiza, and in a resort in the Riviera Maya that combines vernacular architecture with modern amenity in an elegant and thoughtful way. This luxurious volume celebrates the breadth of Bernerd s ambition 'to create meaningful, timeless, and seductive spaces that will linger in someone s mind and heart.'

So, instead of correctly identifying and saving the protagonist, he’s actually just rescued the brilliant and beautiful minor antagonist, Yue Wuhuan. Yet not all is lost. Rather than being put off by Yue Wuhan’s suspicious interest in poisons and villainy, Song Qingshi makes it his mission to treat the underlying trauma to reform his “heroic” ward. United by their love of medicine and a budding mutual attraction, the two must face a hostile and fantastic world in a fight to give Yue Wuhuan the happy ending he deserves.
The Trident and the Pearl
A desperate queen makes a deal with the gods to save her land in this spellbinding romantasy debut from Sarah K. L. Wilson.
Queen Coralys rules the Kingdom of the Five Isles, but when disaster strikes, killing her husband and destroying half her nation, she pleads with the gods for salvation. And they do save her, turning back the terrible winds and tide, and snatching her islands from the brink of destruction.
But the gods have a wicked sense of justice and they demand an exchange for their help: Coralys must marry the first man to set foot on her pier. Coralys expects the fleet of a neighboring country to come to rescue her people, led by its prince, a loyal ally. What she gets instead is a fisherman so sunburnt and stinking that her court can barely keep their breakfast down.
Coralys, undaunted, marries the fisherman just as she promised the gods, and sets out with him in his unkempt dinghy, with nothing but hopes of revenge against the gods to keep her from despair. But what this fearless queen does not know is that the fisherman is actually the god of the sea and he stepped on her dock on purpose.
His own kingdom besieged, his body terribly wounded, and his place as a god threatened, the god of the sea has plans to turn the tides set against him and finally offer a place of refuge for his people. But to work the magic he needs will require the willing help of the one woman bent on his destruction.

Windlake
„Egy tóparti falu a háború után.
Egy fiú, aki nem talál szavakat az érzéseire.
És egy apa, akinek a csendje nehezebb a haragnál.
A tizennyolc éves Sebastian Vesper a felnőtté válás küszöbén keresi a helyét az apja szigora és a barátjához, Noelhez fűződő, megnevezhetetlen érzések miatti bűntudat között. Miközben a hallgatásból lassan szavak lesznek, a tó mindent visszatükröz: vágyat, félelmet és azt a kérdést, hogy hogyan találunk vissza önmagunkhoz ott, ahol nem szokás kimondani az igazságot.
A Windlake egy lírai és fájdalmasan őszinte történet a kimondatlan érzésekről, a család fontosságáról, az első szerelemről, és arról, hogy néha az a legnehezebb út, ami visszavezet minket önmagunkhoz.”

Freedom from Fear
A provocative new history of liberalism that also provides a road map for today’s liberalsFreedom from Fear offers a striking new account of the dominant political and social theory of our time: liberalism. In a pathbreaking reframing of the historical debate, Alan Kahan charts the development of Western liberalism from the late eighteenth century to the present. Examining key liberal thinkers and issues, Kahan shows how liberalism is both a response to fear and a source of hope: the search for a world in which no one need be afraid. Freedom from Fear reveals how liberal arguments typically rely on three pillars: freedom, markets, and morals. But when liberals ignore one or more of these pillars, their arguments generally fail to persuade. Extending from Adam Smith and Montesquieu to today’s battles between liberals and populists, the book examines the twists and turns of the “incomplete” or unfinished liberal tradition while demonstrating its fundamental continuity. It combines fresh accounts of familiar figures such as Tocqueville and Rawls with discussions of less-famous but pivotal thinkers such as A. V. Dicey and Jane Addams, and explores how liberals have dealt with crucial issues, from debates over male and female suffrage to colonialism and liberal anti-Catholicism. By transforming our understanding of the history of liberal thought and practice, Freedom from Fear provides a new picture of the political creed today: the paths liberals need to follow, the questions they need to answer, and the dead ends they must avoid—if they are to win.
