One of the Boys
NOW IN PAPERBACK! Instant New York Times Bestseller! Stonewall Book Award Winner Best of the Year: Chicago Public Library * New York Public Library * Booklist * Publishers Weekly * BookPageFrom exciting debut talent Victoria Zeller comes One of the Boys, a coming-of-age story with an unforgettable voice for the queer jocks, the straight theater kids, and everyone in between. Grace Woodhouse was a star kicker with a D1 future, but that was before she came out as transgender and quit football. Now, as senior year begins, Grace is navigating a new life with queer friends and a fresh perspective. But when her old teammates beg her to rejoin the Pageland High football team, Grace can’t resist the call of the game. Can she be both a star football player and a trans girl? As Grace steps back onto the field, she’ll face transphobia, navigate complicated feelings for her ex-girlfriend, and learn to unite her past and present. One of the Boys is a heartfelt, funny, and inspiring story about self-discovery, breaking stereotypes, and the power of solidarity, all wrapped up in an unforgettable season of high school football. Perfect for fans of sports stories and authentic queer narratives, this book is a winning game of “feelingsball” you won't want to miss!”P R A I S E“Heartfelt, hilarious, and blisteringly honest. One of the Boys is genuinely one of the best contemporary YAs I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.” —Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture “Completely and beautifully immersed in the world of its sport, One of the Boys is as funny as it is emotional, as honest as it is hopeful, and as exciting as it is comforting. This is exactly the book I wanted to read, and Grace is exactly the protagonist I wanted to follow. Her voice, much like Victoria Zeller’s prose, is a joy. I absolutely loved it.” —KT Hoffman, author of The Prospects? “A standout first work, setting a high bar for the blooming subgenre of queer sports fiction.” —Booklist (starred)? “One of the Boys is an amazing feel-good read for any teen (or adult!) who loves football—but for those who know nothing about the sport, Zeller does a great job making it accessible. Alongside great sports plays and banter, Zeller also prioritizes “feelingsball,” or mapping Grace’s mental and emotional journey as she works to unite the football world and the LGBTQ+ world, two spaces with long-held stereotypes and prejudices against each other. One of the Boys is a standout work of YA fiction, as inspiring and illuminating as it is funny and relatable.” —BookPage (starred)? “Zeller artfully exposes the tender underbelly of locker room posturing, presenting a subversive, experience-informed interpretation of toxic masculinity ... An intersectionally diverse cast—which includes Grace’s taciturn yet supportive single father—helps the protagonist forge her own path and blaze a trail for others in this necessary debut.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)
Rebel in the Deep
SET SAIL IN THE SIZZLING CONCLUSION TO THE CRIMSON SAILS TRILOGY'Katee Robert knows how to capture romance readers' hearts.' ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY__________The rebellion’s fight turns into a battle for their hearts aboard the next sexy fantasy romance from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of Hunt on Dark Waters. Nox has been steadfastly working as a quartermaster for the rebellion for years. They don’t ask for much in return, except for one crucial condition — their ex, the noble Lord Bastian, stays as far away from them as possible. To say things ended poorly between them is a gross understatement…and it’s the only relationship Nox has never quite recovered from. But now, the rules have changed. Siobhan, the rebel leader, has emerged from hiding to tell Nox that Bastian’s involvement in the rebellion has been discovered, and he’s been taken to stand trial in the capital as a traitor. The fate of the entire rebellion now rests on Nox and Siobhan’s ability to rescue Bastian from the Cwn Annwn ship. Saving Bastian is only the start of their trials, as the trio is tracked by ferocious pirates across Threshold. And Nox’s complicated relationships and entanglements with Bastian and Siobhan puts more than their life at risk—it puts their heart on the line. __________READERS ADORE THE CRIMSON SAILS SERIES:‘This finale is epic, action-packed, full of magic, and deeply satisfying.’ 5 STAR REVIEW‘I devoured it’ 5 STAR REVIEW‘I was completely enthralled by Rebel in the Deep!’ 5 STAR REVIEW‘We’ve finally reached the end of the Crimson Sails series and I love every second of it.’ 5 STAR REVIEW‘This was amazing!!!’ 5 STAR REVIEW‘A gift of a book’ 5 STAR REVIEW

Pathemata
A profound and deeply personal exploration of pain, the body and loss by the beloved author of Bluets and The Argonauts'Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness' JENNY MUSTARDThis is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer. Pathemata recounts the narrator’s tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss – the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.

Strangers and Intimates
From ancient times to our digital present, Strangers and Intimates traces the dramatic emergence of private life, and argues that it is now in mortal danger.
In this sweeping history, acclaimed cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins takes readers on an epic journey, from the strict separations of public and private in ancient Athens to the moral rigidity of the Victorian home, and from the feminists of the 1970s - who declared that 'the personal is political' - to the boundary-blurring demands of our digital age.
Strangers and Intimates is both a celebration of the private realm and a warning: as social media, surveillance and the expectations of constant openness reshape our lives, Jenkins asks a timely question: can private life survive the demands of the twenty-first century?

Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách
Nástupnictví v rodinných firmách je jedno z nejsložitějších, a přesto nejméně systematicky uchopených témat českého podnikatelského prostředí. Kniha je srozumitelným a praktickým průvodcem mezigeneračním předáním majetku, řízení i hodnot. Ukazuje, jak předcházet konfliktům mezi členy rodiny, jak vytvořit a smysluplně pracovat s rodinnou ústavou a jak přemýšlet o její právní roli. Vysvětluje, jaké možnosti nabízejí majetkové struktury, jako jsou svěřenské či nadační fondy, a jak nastavit jejich fungování tak, aby obstály i při náhlém výpadku zakladatele.
Autorka propojuje téměř desetiletou praxi s hlubokým právním zázemím a přináší odpovědi na otázky, které si podnikatelské rodiny kladou, ale jen zřídka nacházejí ucelené a odpovědné vysvětlení.
Plachý dům
Rodinné vztahy mezi dcerou, matkou a otcem tvoří osu románu Plachý dům slovenské prozaičky Barbory Hrínové. Autorka, kterou čeští čtenáři znají již ze sbírky povídek Jednorožci (2020, česky 2022), se ve své nové knize vrací k tématům blízkosti, paměti a každodennosti. Román vystavěný na čtyřvětém symfonickém půdorysu sleduje příběh stárnoucího učitele hudby Ambroze. Nahlíží jeho vztahy s nejbližšími, jeho tiché zápasy i radosti a jeho hluboký vztah k hudbě a poezii. Z různých perspektiv a prostřednictvím proměnlivých vypravěčských forem skládá autorka citlivý obraz rodiny – nenápadný, a přitom silný.
Why We Think What We Think
An eye-opening journey through the secret forces shaping our opinions, this book reveals why we think what we think - and why disagreement matters
Our opinions - whether we believe in God or in ghosts, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration, our basic sense of what's good or fair - are shaped by a breathtaking web of hidden forces. The age-old idea that our views are forged by reason and evidence alone is wrong: we are influenced by everything from the quirks of distant history, through the geology of where we grew up, to the lines of our genetic code.
This astounding book takes us through culture, biology, geography, history, psychology and much more to uncover the hidden DNA of our opinions. It reveals:
why the descendants of rice farmers have different values to the descendants of grain farmers
how our physical appearance shapes the way we see the world - and why conventionally attractive people tend to support the free market
why liberals think pineapple should go on pizza, and why conservatives prefer smooth peanut butter to crunchy
why hot and humid countries favour authoritarian leaders, and drought-prone ones prefer authoritarian gods
Packed with extraordinary stories and counterintuitive discoveries, Why We Think What We Think asks a fundamental question of ourselves. If we are predisposed to our beliefs, how can we escape the bounds of our own perspective? The answer lies in disagreement. Argument is how we reason, how we think our way to a better world. To thrive, as individuals and societies, we need the other side.
