Mistake (Collectors Edition) - Off-Campus 2
This limited Collector's Edition printing will include a new hardcase design, printed edges, designed endpapers, and colored character art throughout of your fave OG hockey couple, Logan and Grace!
He's a player in more ways than one…
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game…
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat…and she plans on driving him wild.
Score (Collectors Edition) - Off-Campus 3
This limited Collector's Edition printing will include a new hardcase design, printed edges, designed endpapers, and colored character art throughout of your fave OG hockey couple, Dean and Allie!
He knows how to score, on and off the ice
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.
It'll take more than flashy moves to win her over
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls…he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world-and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love.

Eight Million Ways to Happiness
In Eight Million Ways to Happiness, Hiroko Yoda invites readers on a deeply personal and transformative journey into the spiritual heart of Japan. While millions have found inspiration in ideas like ikigai or The Courage to Be Disliked, Hiroko reveals the deeper traditions that quietly shape Japan's culture, drawn from Shinto, Buddhism, and the mountain mysticism of Shugendo.
These aren't abstract philosophies. They are living practices that integrate so seamlessly with modern secular life, even natives can forget they are there.
Reconnecting with them helped Hiroko find light after profound loss - and realise that they offer powerful tools for anyone seeking meaning, connection or peace in their own life.
Through vivid storytelling and immersive experiences - dancing at Shinto shrines, climbing sacred peaks, and meeting mystics - Hiroko shows how Japan's flexible approach to spirituality helps kindle gratitude, connection and kinship with nature. What emerges are practical insights and gentle guidance to spark joy, find balance, and discover what truly matters.
Whether you're grieving, searching, or simply curious, this book is a reminder: there are millions of ways to be happy. You just have to find yours.

Moral Ambition
The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in, day out? Every day we're bombarded with methods, mantras and life hacks that promise us wellness and prosperity, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources.
What if you want to do something more with your limited time on the planet?
With moral ambition - the will to make the world a wildly better place - internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us we can be both idealistic and successful, and change the world along the way. Uncovering the qualities that made the great change-makers of history so effective, he shows how we too can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself.
This book won't make your life easier, but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?
Moral Ambition is a must-read for anyone wondering what they should do with their working life, how to find their purpose and how to find something more worthwhile to do with their skills and talents.

Why Brains Need Friends
From your morning coffee order, to weaving through passengers on the train, sitting through tense work meetings, riding in a packed elevator, attending a happy hour with colleagues, or relaxing on the couch with family, every day is filled with social interactions that nurture and support your brain's health. Whether mundane or extraordinary, they collectively make up the 'social diet' that you feed your brain, that influences your well-being, shapes your experience, and, done right, even lengthens your life.
In an age of isolation, WHY BRAINS NEED FRIENDS is a neuroscience-backed guide to social interactions, drawing insights from the world of science to help you understand the biology behind your relationships, reconsider the value of companionship, and build a healthier, happier, and more connected life. It's not just what you feed your brain that matters - it's who.
Folded Paper Geometry
In an age of digital precision, Folded Paper Geometry brings design back to its most fundamental tool--your hands. It explores the beauty, simplicity and ingenuity of geometric structures through the act of folding, revealing how single sheets of paper can be transformed into breathtaking, functional forms.
The book delves into the underlying design principles that make folded geometry so powerful, from simple two-dimensional polygons to complex three-dimensional polyhedra. Whether you are a designer, maker, educator or curious thinker, you will find practical techniques and inspiring insights to enhance your creative practice.
Without the need for any special tools, the author encourages you to step away from the screen, pick up a piece of paper, and embark on a hands-on journey where design, geometry and imagination converge.
The step-by-step projects are accompanied by over 400 detailed illustrations and colour photos. The book also contains QR codes or hyperlinks to 10 video tutorials of some of the folding techniques and constructions you can make.
The Brain at Rest
We are constantly told to make the most of our time: to stop procrastinating, to 'optimise' and be efficient with every precious hour.
But when we let our brains rest, and our minds wander, something magical happens: the brain’s ‘default network’ switches on, and we are able to think in completely new ways.
Drawing on groundbreaking new research, neuroscientist Dr Joseph Jebelli reveals the simple and easy steps to change your life for the better, including how:
· Napping and gentle exercise can enhance brain size
· Spending time in nature can boost creativity and problem-solving skills
· Silence fosters the growth of new brain cells
Blending science and personal stories with practical tips, The Brain At Rest is the life-changing guide to living a happier, healthier – and ironically, more productive – life.
A Dark Forgetting
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Crimson Moth (published as Heartless Hunter in North America) weaves an epic love story of a magical girl, the boy she left behind, and a deadly curse.
Sing us a song of the forest, of the Wood King who rules there, and the tithe he demands…
No matter how far Emeline Lark runs, the song of the forest reaches her, luring her away from her dreams of the stage and back to her small town and its superstitions.
But every superstition is rooted in truth, and when her grandfather goes missing Emeline will be forced to return to Edgewood and the forest beyond.
There, even Hawthorne Fell, a brooding tithe collector, cannot dissuade her from her path - a path that will lead her into the court of the fabled Wood King himself - and into a bargain with the deadliest price.
Featuring a bonus chapter exclusive to print and digital editions.
The Score
Is this the game you want to be playing?
Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else’s rules.
In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly ‘gamified’ world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.
A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.
The Vanishing Point
From the bestselling novelist, travel writer, and "master of the short story" (NPR) comes a brilliant new collection.
The stories in The Vanishing Point are both exotic and domestic, their settings ranging from Hawaii to Africa and New England. Each focuses on life's vanishing points-a moment when seemingly all lines running through one's life converge, and one can see no farther, yet must deal with the implications. With the insight, subtlety, and empathy that has long characterized his work, Theroux has written deeply moving stories about memory, longing, and the passing of time, reclaiming his status, once again, as a master of the form.
The Mask of Apollo
THE ANCIENT GREEK STAGE BROUGHT THRILLINGLY TO LIFE BY THE QUEEN OF HISTORICAL FICTION
'Mary Renault has made the classical era alive' GORE VIDAL
'Her books have stood the test of time' INDEPENDENT
The artist flows into the mask the poet offers him; only so will the god possess him.
Greece, fourth century BC. The golden age of theatre may be over, but Nikeratos still lives and breathes the stage. Finding work with a group of travelling actors, he discovers amongst their dusty props an old, discarded mask of Apollo.
When a violent attack threatens the company mid-performance, the actors must go on: once the show ends, they know their lives are at stake. Seized by inspiration, Niko dons the golden mask and feels the powerful words of Apollo coursing through him - spurring the defenders to victory.
But Greece is racked by political struggles, and as his fame grows Niko finds himself caught in the crossfire, a pawn in a game of tyrants. And all the while, the mask gains power - becoming his conscience, keeper of his secrets and, ultimately, the maker of his gravest choice.
The Second Chance Convenience Store

In this million-copy bestseller from Korea, the owner of a corner store takes in a homeless man who does a good deed - a kind soul whose presence will transform the whole neighbourhood.

Their chance encounter blossoms into an unexpected alliance when the man's bravery saves the store from ruin, earning him not just a job but a place in the heart of the neighbourhood.
But just when things are looking up for Dokgo, Mrs. Yeom's troubled son, eager to sell the store, hires a detective to dig into the mysterious man's past and unearth what he seems to be trying so hard to forget . . .
The Second Chance Convenience Store by Kim Ho-Yeon, translated from Korean by Janet Hong, is a moving and joyful story of a woman fighting for her community and a man who has lost everything except the will to try again.
Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner
Nová a zcela nekorektní dvojkniha karikaturisty Lubomíra Lichého je na světě. Můžete ji začít číst z kterékoli strany. Jenom si vybrat, zda dáte napřed přednost dámě nebo pánovi. Manželce či manželovi. Lichý nešetří ani jednoho. Knihou se tak prosmějete, podle toho, který začátek zvolíte. Výhodou je, že když ji otočíte, můžete pokračovat…
Trocha nekorektního humoru z časů, kdy podržet ženě dveře neznamenalo jí sdělit, že si je není schopná otevřít sama, a drobné rýpnutí do opačného pohlaví se dalo přejít s humorem, a dokonce bez trestních oznámení. Zkrátka stará doba…
Žijeme ve zvláštní době. Prakticky denně nám politici ve sdělovacích prostředcích předvádějí performance, o jejichž vhodnosti vysílání před desátou večerní by zcela jistě mohla být vedena odborná diskuse. Přesto jsou naladitelné v kteroukoli hodinu.
Zato při slušné rozpravě je třeba našlapovat zlehýnka. Například genderová vyváženost je novodobým požadavkem, a není zcela korektní, je-li například na práci v kamenolomu požadován výhradně muž. Můžeme se setkat s bytostmi, které se identifikují třeba jako kočky, a jsou nesmírně rozladěné, když jim na veřejné toaletě chybí vanička se stelivem. Jakoby se nám starý a srozumitelný svět stavěl trochu na hlavu, na kteroužto polohu se nám nepřivyká lehce.
Pokud se Vám tedy v této nezvyklé pozici nestojí pohodlně, klidně svůj trénink na chvíli přerušte, zaujměte polohu tělu příjemnou a zalistujte si v dílku, jež třímáte v prstech.
Lubomír Lichý zde shromáždil řadu aforismů na téma žena a muž, pocházejících od klasiků, přátel i lidu. Vše je doplněno a podpořeno autorovým milým kresleným humorem.
Manžel: definice pojmu
O původu slova manžel nepanuje mezi vědci shoda. Část jich zastává názor, že pochází z francouzského manger „jíst“, zbytek je přesvědčen, že je třeba hledat pramen v německém der Mangel „nedostatek“. Ať už je tedy původní význam manžela „pojídač“ nebo „člověk, kterému něco chybí“, je zřejmé, že jde o součást domácího vybavení značně problematickou, poruchovou a z větší části postradatelnou.
Dostaly-li jste se již do té ošemetné situace, že se jeden či více exemplářů ocitlo ve vašem vlastnictví, snad vám pomůže náš upřímně míněný manuál k tomu, že pro něj naleznete alespoň nějaké neškodné využití…
Manželka jako zdroj všehomíra
Manželka je úžasný vynález matky přírody. Pokud žena jako taková je všeobecně (a právem) považována za subjekt všeho schopný, pak s manželkou zašla příroda ještě dál, až za hranice možného a nemožného. Uzavřením sňatku se z už tak podivuhodného, ale stále přirozeného stvoření, stává stvoření naprosto nadpřirozené…
Tea and Grit
In 2009, while the US Government is hunting down Osama bin Laden in the Middle East, Helen Watson and her husband Ed set off on a cycling expedition from Glasgow to China. Driven by a desire to understand the world beyond the media portrayal of George W. Bush's 'Axis of Evil', the couple pedal 15,000 km along the Silk Road - ancient trade routes that were undergoing rapid modernisation. Crossing deserts and mountains, minefields and military zones, they reach Muslim China via Syria, Turkey, Iran and Central Asia. Plagued by sandstorms, overzealous officials and endless punctures, Helen and Ed camp with Bedouin, sleep in farmers' houses, and are hosted by students and local dignitaries. They are waylaid with hundreds of cups of tea and interrogated about Western culture. and marriage. Soon after the couple return home, the Arab Spring breaks, and the world Helen and Ed have visited is plunged into war and unrest. Memories of the hospitality the pair received lead them to welcome refugees to Scotland through the UK's first community sponsorship scheme - and to Helen writing about their adventure. Tea and Grit: a Bicycle Journey along the Silk Road illuminates places rarely visited by Western travel writers. Through Helen's evocative prose, visit Homs, the most embattled city of the Syrian War; Raqqa, the former capital of Islamic State; the Kurdish heartland of Eastern Turkey; the Islamic Republic of Iran; the secretive state of Turkmenistan; and Kashgar in Uyghur China. Through Helen's eyes, gain privileged glimpses into the lives of women in parts of the world characterised by the oppression of female liberties. Join Helen and Ed as they forsake the white noise of everyday British life to focus on real decisions: where to sleep, what to eat, how to stay safe. Rich in insight and compassion, Tea and Grit is a book about the rich and poetic cultures of the Silk Road, which have become imperilled by the aftermath of 9/11. Above all, Tea and Grit is a book about why it is more important than ever before to drink tea with the people we fear as strangers.

Ocean, As Much As Rain
Ocean, as Much as Rain presents for the first time in the English-language world a collection of masterfully translated literary writings by prominent Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser. In these stories, lyrical essays, and poetry, Woeser interweaves texts, photographs, silences, and documentary details. Featuring a distinctively imaginative use of satire and digressive rhetoric, Woeser’s stories bring to life Tibetan characters whose lives are entwined with politics, history, and religion. Woeser illuminates the ruins and places that she has come across during her various sojourns in Chinese-ruled Tibet, reviving sites from the past of her parents and their generation. These writings range from ingenious retellings of cultural encounters and confrontation to insightful commentaries on ecological issues and tourism in Tibet that never shun contradictions, dilemmas, or questions about the future. With an introduction by Fiona Sze-Lorrain and an author interview by editors-translators Sze-Lorrain and Dechen Pemba, Ocean, as Much as Rain is a landmark publication that celebrates the work of a steadfast dissident and a leading Tibetan literary figure of our times.
