A halhatatlan testvér
Zámbó Árpy elmeséli Jimmy igaz történetét…
Ebben a rendkívül személyes és őszinte könyvben Zámbó Árpy, az ismert énekes, Zámbó Jimmy öccse szólal meg. Nem rajongóként, nem kívülállóként, hanem testvérként meséli el a Király valódi történetét.
A kötetben eddig soha nem hallott történetek, családi emlékek és megható pillanatok idézik fel Jimmy életének kevéssé ismert oldalát: a gyermekkort, a küzdelmes éveket, a hirtelen jött sikert és az embert a legenda mögött.
A halhatatlan testvér nem csupán egy életrajz – sokkal inkább egy őszinte vallomás két testvér kapcsolatáról, szeretetről, büszkeségről és veszteségről. Egy könyv azoknak, akik rajongtak Jimmyért, és azoknak is, akik szeretnék megismerni az embert a mítosz mögött.
Ez a kötet közelebb visz ahhoz, hogy megértsük, miért maradt Zámbó Jimmy a magyar zenei élet egyik halhatatlan alakja.
Labyrintom Biblie II.
Čo ak je viera niečo celkom iné, než sme si zvykli myslieť? Nie súbor poučiek, príslušnosť ku konfesii ani relikt starého sveta, ale hlboká ľudská schopnosť dôverovať, hľadať pravdu a nachádzať zmysel vlastného bytia.
Kniha Labyrintom Biblie II. pozýva čitateľa k odvahe veriť – veriť niečomu hlbšiemu než sebe samému.
Autor knihy sa pohybuje na hranici filozofie, psychológie a biblického rozprávania. Otvára otázky, ktoré sa týkajú rovnako veriaceho aj skeptika: Ako vzniká naše presvedčenie o pravde? Dá sa žiť len z toho, čo možno zmerať? A čo sa stane s človekom, keď stratí schopnosť dôvery?
Labyrint Biblie tu nie je miestom dogiem, ale cestou vnútorného hľadania. Viera v tejto knihe nie je slepým prijímaním odpovedí. Naopak – je neustále skúšaná rozumom, pochybnosťou, skúsenosťou i vlastným životom.

Crises and Popular Dissent
A timely and updated second edition, this version of Crises and Popular Dissent moves on from a focus on the causes of populism to a wider analysis of the global struggle between liberal democracy and authoritarianism, including the continuing impact of populism. Within this epoch defining conflict, O’Donnell analyses related themes such as repression/liberty, identity-culture/social-political solidarity, climate change/immigration, the impact of digital revolution, and the late modern restructuring of power and wealth. O’Donnell outlines contemporary crises in a global context, mainly in relation to Europe and the Americas and with recurrent reference to the Global South. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, supported, but without major direct military engagement, by China, Iran, and North Korea, revives, in a different form, the ‘cold war’ ideological and territorial conflict between Russia and ‘the West’. Add the deeply disturbing humanitarian and democratic issues raised by the Israel-Hamas war, O’Donnell chronicles a liberal democracy in a state of crisis. Revitalising discussion around the ‘contradiction’ in liberal democracy between free market capitalism and social inequality in the politico-cultural crises of the current century: various extra-parliamentary protest movements, of left and right are discussed. Drawing partly on democratic forms adopted by a variety of populist. and non-populist social movements, ‘radical democracy’ is introduced as a way of reorienting the liberal progressive dynamic. Centring around three broad political groupings – liberal, authoritarian, and social movements of protest – the chapters represent the different ideologies and political strategies at the core of the crises discussed. Exploring their origins, outcomes, and extrapolating their likely trajectories, O’Donnell also makes suggestions for institutional change and socio-political policy reform.

Four Against the West
Roy Bean was an American saloon-keeper and Justice of the Peace in Texas, who called himself 'The Only Law West of the Pecos'. He and his three brothers set out from Kentucky in the mid 1840s, heading into the American frontier to find their fortunes. Their lifetimes of triumphs, tragedies, laurels and scandals will play out on the battlefields of Mexico, in shady dealings in California city halls, inside eccentric saloon courtrooms of Texas, and along the blood-soaked Santa Fe Trail from Missouri to New Mexico. They will kill men, and murder will likewise stalk them. The Beans chase their American dreams as the nation reinvents itself as a coast-to-coast powerhouse, only to be tested by the Civil War. During their saga, the brothers become soldiers, judges, husbands, guerillas, lawmen, entrepreneurs, refugees, fathers, politicians, pioneers and – in Judge Roy Bean’s case – one of the Old West’s best known but least understood scoundrels. Using new information gleaned from exhaustive research, Joe Pappalardo's Four Against the West is an unprecedented and vivid telling of the intertwined stories of all four Bean brothers, exploring for the first time how their relentless ambitions helped create a new America.
Charlottesville
In August 2017, over a thousand neo-Nazis, fascists, Klan members, and neo-Confederates descended on a small southern city to protest the pending removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Within an hour of their arrival, the city’s historic downtown was a scene of bedlam as armored far-right cadres battled activists in the streets. Before the weekend was over, a neo-Nazi had driven a car into a throng of counterprotesters, killing a young woman and injuring dozens. Pulitzer Prize finalist Deborah Baker has written a riveting and panoptic account of what unfolded that weekend, focusing less on the rally’s far-right leaders than on the story of the city itself. University, local, and state officials, including law enforcement, were unable or unwilling to grasp the gathering threat. Clergy, activists, and organizers from all walks of life saw more clearly what was coming and, at great personal risk, worked to warn and defend their city. To understand why their warnings fell on deaf ears, Baker does a deep dive into American history. In her research, she discovers an uncannily similar event that took place decades before when an emissary of the poet and fascist Ezra Pound arrived in Charlottesville intending to start a race war. In Charlottesville, Baker shows how a city more associated with Thomas Jefferson than civil unrest became a flashpoint in a continuing struggle over our nation’s founding myths.
Small Acts of Courage
Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom - for idealism itself - against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly. More than a century ago, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm, Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of his family history forever. From childhood, Velshi’s grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice, and a belief in absolute equality among all people - ideals that his children carried forward as they escaped apartheid, emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States. In Small Acts of Courage, Velshi taps into 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living, breathing experience - a way of life more than an ideology. With rich detail and vivid prose, he relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change, even when success seemed impossible. This heartfelt exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action - for progress to be possible, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference.
An Island of Suspects
An August heat wave has all of Brittany in its grasp, and the only chance to cool down for Commissaire Georges Dupin is his daily swim in the ocean. Until one morning his routine is interrupted because a body has been found in the harbour with clear signs of foul play. Patric Provost was from one of the long-established families on the island of Belle-Île, Breton’s biggest and most famous island. Provost owned and operated a company dealing in an island delicacy: the famous Belle-Île-sheep. As Bretons say, the sheep season themselves while they’re eating, grazing on salty, iodine-rich meadows, full of wild herbs, directly by the ocean. In Dupin’s culinary ranking, this lamb comes right behind entrecôte. And that’s saying something. Dupin has barely stepped foot on the utopia-like island before it comes to light that Provost was not well liked. And someone was blackmailing him for one million euros, the deadline for payment the night before Provost’s body was caught on the buoy. Everyone on the island has a motive. Any one of them could be the killer.
Soul Shift
Reclaim Joy, Inner Freedom, and Zest for Life.How often do you feel joy—a truly pure, unadulterated experience of ease, bliss, and happiness? In childhood, our joy arises in the moment, spontaneous and free.

She walks you through a symbolic botanical garden made up of eight areas designed to help you practice: presence, worthiness, letting go of perfection, self-kindness, authenticity, forgiveness, looking after yourself, and cultivating your gifts.Soul Shift helps you rediscover the joy inside you at a pace that is natural, with an approach that is gentle and practical exercises that are easy to follow. Here, you will learn how to:• Release external measurements of success so you can focus on what matters• Respond to life’s challenges with awareness and compassion• Realign with your heart and the calm presence within• Create a framework to center you when life steers you off course• Experience the healing power of presence for yourself and with the ones you loveIn practicing this work, “our innermost truths come to the surface,” Stafford writes. “Barriers crumble, the past loses its grip, and we are finally free to show up as our fully human selves and make our unique contributions to the world.”
Se srdečným pozdravem
Kdybyste dostali dopis, který rozloží všechny vaše vztahy i pečlivě udržované iluze, otevřeli byste ho? Max, Adina a Michal to udělají a budou toho nejednou litovat. Jak dopadne divoká týdenní jízda promiskuitního workoholika, labilní hysterky a zahořklého vegana, kteří musí spojit síly, aby odhalili dávno zapomenutou pravdu o své minulosti? Co mají společného kromě komplikovaných vztahů se svými otci? A je těžší odpustit těm, které nenávidíme, těm, které milujeme, anebo sami sobě? Tři postavy se střídají ve vyprávění svých příběhů skrze vlastní specifický jazyk – někdy analytický, jindy chaoticky introspektivní nebo odevzdaně sarkastický. Nevyžádaná pošta je ironicky něžný román o vině, kterou si neseme, rodinách, které si nevybíráme, a dopisech, které by možná bylo lepší nikdy neotevřít.
Szégyen
A Hamu és korom-ból és a Sötét ügyek-ből megismert nyomozó, Sofia Hjortén gyermekgondozási szabadságon van kislányával, ám amikor két fiatal geoláda-keresés közben egy érckőbányában levágott kézfejre bukkan, visszatér a rendőrségre. A nyomok egy 1959-ben eltűnt asszony és erőszakos férje felé mutatnak, akit többen is szerettek volna holtan látni. Hamarosan újabb gyilkosság történik Ulvö szigetén, és a nyomozás szálai hol összefonódnak, hol messzire sodródnak egymástól.
Sofia számára azonban nem csak a munka jelent kihívást, amelyet nehezen, csak segítséggel tud összeegyeztetni az anyasággal. A kapcsolata egykori szerelmével, Fredrikkel, és egykori szeretőjével, Kajjal nem is lehetne kuszább, és az apaság kérdése tovább bonyolítja a helyzetet.
Az Estonia-kompbaleset túlélőjeként Fredrik magánélete úgyszintén meglehetősen viharos; ahogy régen a tenger, most az érzelmek hullámzásán kerekedik nehezen felül.
Miközben az ismerőseinkké vált szereplőkről egyre árnyaltabb képet kapunk, a nyomozás olyan fordulatot vesz, amely a tapasztalt krimiolvasókat is jócskán meglepheti.
Ďáblova slina
Po smrti krále Vratislava I. v roce 1092 přichází doba, která patří v dějinách českého středověkého státu k nejdramatičtějším. Mezi členy další generace rozkošatělého přemyslovského klanu dochází k mocenskému zápolení, do kterého jako šedá eminence významně zasahuje královna vdova Svatava. Na pozadí chaotického střídaní přemyslovských knížat na kamenném stolci zároveň probíhá i boj mezi nastupujícím křesťanstvím a doznívajícím pohanstvím. Propletené neviditelné nitky obou rozhořelých svárů se nakonec sbíhají do jednoho bodu – do benediktinského kláštera Ostrov, obklopeného řekou Vltavou, do kterého přichází učený mnich Eberhard z proslulého kláštera Reichenau jakožto vykonavatel likvidačního nařízení proti představitelům staré víry. Ti, co dobrovolně neodejdou ze země, čelí smrti upálením nebo utopením. Jeho střetnutí s poslední a nejmocnější kněžkou ovlivní osud nejen jeho, ale i celého knížectví.

Implementing Trauma-Informed Pedagogies for School Change
The area of trauma-informed positive education (TIPE) is a recently emerging field in educational studies. Schools serving communities contending with educational inequity have many students identified as trauma-affected, with significant unmet learning and social emotional needs. This groundbreaking study and first book in the Emerald Studies in Trauma-Informed Education series is the first longitudinal research in trauma informed positive education, and the first research to link the professional learning and ongoing implementation of TIPE pedagogical practices to changed student perceptions of school and collective teacher efficacy over a four-year period. Providing examples of how schools implement TIPE and using case studies from two schools that were experiencing difficulty with their delivery of learning and wellbeing outcomes for students, the authors explore how implementing TIPE pedagogical practices can bring about school change. There is a focus on student wellbeing, collective teacher efficacy and assisting students to be ready to learn. The case studies that are explored will be of interest to school practitioners and system leaders working with students who are are not yet ready to learn and disengaged from school.
Fear No Pharaoh
In Fear No Pharaoh, the journalist and historian Richard Kreitner sets this question at the heart of the Civil War era. He tells the intertwined stories of six American Jews who helped to shape a tumultuous time, including Judah Benjamin, the secretive lawyer who became Jefferson Davis’s trusted confidante; Morris Raphall, a Swedish-born rabbi who defended slavery as biblically justified; and Raphall’s rival rabbis - Isaac Mayer Wise, who urged Jews to stay out of the slavery controversy to avoid attracting attention, and David Einhorn, whose fiery sermons condemning bondage led to a pro-slavery mob threatening his life. We also meet August Bondi, a veteran of Europe’s 1848 revolutions, who fought with John Brown in Bleeding Kansas and later in the Union Army, and the Polish émigré Ernestine Rose, a feminist, atheist, and abolitionist who championed “emancipation of all kinds.”As he tracks these characters, Kreitner illuminates the shifting dynamics of Jewish life in America - and the debates about religion, morality, and politics that endure to this day.
