The Wilderness


In 2008, Desiree, January, Monique and Nakia are in their early twenties and at the beginning. Of their careers, of marriage, of motherhood and of big city lives in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they are finding their way through the wilderness, that period of life when the reality of contemporary adulthood - overwhelming, mysterious and full of freedom and consequences - swoops in and stays. Desiree is estranged from her sister Danielle, and the two nurse bitter family wounds in different ways. January\'s got a relationship with a 'good' man she feels ambivalent about, even after her surprise pregnancy. Monique, a librarian and aspiring blogger, finds unexpected online fame after calling out the university where she works for its plans to whitewash fraught history. And Nakia is trying to get her restaurant off the ground, without relying on the largesse of her upper middle-class family who wonder aloud if she should be doing something better with her life. As these friends transition from young adults to grown women, they must figure out what they mean to one another - amid political upheaval, economic and environmental instability and the increasing volatility of modern life. The Wilderness is Angela Flournoy's masterful and kaleidoscopic follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut The Turner House. A generational talent, she captures with disarming wit and electric language how the most profound connections over a lifetime can lie in the tangled, uncertain thicket of friendship.

Kite Day


Mamus and her son love Kite Days. But conditions have to be right. Sometimes the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the day is calling… But it's still not a Kite Day. Sometimes the clouds roll in, and the wind is too strong… And they still try for a Kite Day. But when their string gets tangled and the light gets dim, they must stay inside and wait for their next chance at a Kite Day. Navigating worry, anger, sadness and disappointment, Mamus and her son fly their kite together. While her mood mirrors the kite’s motions – gently rising, twisting in the wind, tangling in a tree, and crashing to the ground – the pair continue to try. Despite the ups and downs, their love is, and will always remain, constant. “Is today a kite day?” I ask Mamus. Her smile is a blossom unfolding. “Let’s go and see,” she says. An honest yet hopeful glimpse into a child’s experience with a parent who has bipolar illness or other mood-related struggles, including concrete suggestions for young readers who are concerned about a loved one, this is a key social and emotional learning (SEL) book for young readers and loved ones navigating a mental health illness.

Outsmarting Cancer


A comprehensive guide to understanding and preventing cancer by addressing its root causes. Outsmarting Cancer reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time: how to prevent cancer. In this timely and accessible book, physician and medical researcher Adam Barsouk, MD, presents a sweeping examination of cancer's true origins—biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral—and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. With personal stories from his clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Barsouk explains why more people are getting diagnosed with cancer—and at younger ages—than ever before. This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations. Unlike typical cancer books that focus narrowly on diet or organ-specific disease, Outsmarting Cancer takes a comprehensive, systems-level view, urging readers to look beyond the symptoms and target the root causes. Dr. Barsouk explores the role of genetic predisposition to cancer alongside environmental, lifestyle, and public policy influences that may contribute to developing the disease. With rigorous scientific insight, he offers real-world, evidence-based strategies to reduce cancer risk in practical, meaningful ways. Honest, urgent, and empowering, Outsmarting Cancer challenges readers to rethink how we talk about cancer and how we can reduce its burden before it begins.

John Foster Dulles


A compelling biography of John Foster Dulles, one of the most complex and underexamined architects of US foreign policy. John Foster Dulles is a towering yet misunderstood figure in American and international history. Best known as secretary of state under Dwight D. Eisenhower and as the namesake for the Dulles airport, he has long been cast as a Cold War hardliner—moralizing, rigid, and ready to meet Soviet threats with nuclear force. Yet this view, while enduring, leaves much of his intellectual legacy unexplored. In John Foster Dulles, Bevan Sewell presents a compelling intellectual biography that restores Dulles as a central architect of the American-led world order in the twentieth century. Across a remarkable career that spanned the Versailles Peace Conference, landmark legal work on international finance, leadership in Christian ecumenical movements, and his representation of the United States to the nascent United Nations, Dulles consistently sought to shape a global system anchored by American values in a transnational context. His was a vision of peace not as passive coexistence but as a dynamic, evolving framework of moral, economic, and political order. Far from the caricature of an inflexible ideologue, Dulles emerges as a thinker attuned to the complexities of change. His philosophical pragmatism, informed by religious conviction and diplomatic experience, guided a lifelong search for durable solutions to global conflict—even as it exposed glaring contradictions in his policies. Dulles's work was rooted in empire, inspired by a belief in American exceptionalism, and constrained by the biases of his time. Based on wide-ranging research and a sharp reassessment of Dulles's intellectual development, Sewell reframes the legacy of John Foster Dulles for a new generation and offers a substantial and novel interpretation of his influence on US foreign relations in the twentieth century.

Song for a Hard-Hit People


A story of struggle and perseverance from an Eastern Kentucky woman who answered Florence Reese''s timeless question, "Which side are you on?" by organizing her people with love and class solidarity.Activist and organizer Beth Howard invites readers to trace her transformational story of growing up in rural Appalachia facing economic hardship, patriarchal violence, and the impact of extractive industries to become a leading organizer of working-class antiracism, engaging in the street protests of the Black Lives Matter movement and the larger resistance to Donald Trump and MAGA racists.In this deeply personal story Howard tells us about how her place and people, especially her dad, shaped her. She also details a political and systems analysis that shows how billionaires hold power by using racism to convince working-class white people to side with whiteness instead of their class. Howard makes the case that white Appalachians and rural white working-class people have a shared interest in, and a powerful history of, being in class solidarity with Black and Brown people. Howard delves into the rich traditions of organization and resistance in Appalachia, like the ten thousand interracial miners of the so-called Red Neck Army (known by the red bandanas worn around their necks), who in 1921 refused to be segregated and waged the largest working-class insurrection since the Civil War.Howard''s story is particular but not uncommon. Too many of us face the same struggle for the basic necessities of life: somewhere decent to live, good food to eat, health care that doesn''t break the bank, jobs that don''t kill us. As she reminds us, we haven’t got a chance—unless we organize. In the best of storytelling traditions, her prose is at once heart-breaking and inspiring, insightful and provocative, and filled to the brim with courageous humanity.

Obloha ji zavolala domů


ONA MUSÍ NAPLNIT PROROCTVÍ. ON JI MUSÍ ZNIČIT A ZACHRÁNIT TAK SVOU ŘÍŠI... Elyssara vyrůstala v temných uličkách Virellinu, kde se naučila spoléhat jen na své dýky a schopnost mizet ve stínech. Když je její přítel Ronyn uvězněn, rozhodne se porušit všechna pravidla a vkrade se do přísně střeženého žaláře. Tam narazí na tajemného válečníka Kaela… a jediné setkání spustí řetězec událostí, které otřesou vším, čemu dosud věřila. Zrozená pod vzácným souhvězdím Elyssara v sobě nese dar silné magie i břímě proroctví, které jí zanechala její matka. Podle něj má nalézt pět ztracených relikvií, s jejichž pomocí může zachránit zakletou říši Dravaru a probudit spící draky. Elyssara se vydává na strastiplnou cestu plnou temných hvozdů, mytických tvorů a dávno zapomenutých tajemství. Po jejím boku stojí věrní přátelé i mlčenlivý Kael, následník trůnu sousední říše. Ačkoli po sobě s Elyssarou od počátku touží, brzy zjišťují, že stojí před neřešitelnou volbou: aby mohly jejich říše přežít, jeden z nich bude muset toho druhého zničit. Žár, který je k sobě táhne, je však silnější než dávná proroctví. A jejich láska se tak může stát jejich zkázou... Strhující romantasy, kterou nesmí minout žádný fanoušek Živého stříbra, Dvora trnů a růží, nebo Skleněného trůnu.

Wildly different


The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth. For millennia the ‘wild’ was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet? In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth’s wild places. We’ll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men’s climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain’s first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai’s daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women’s adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ‘wildly different’. -- .
