Raya Wryvern was supposed to be a prodigy. As the daughter of two powerful Shades - world-renowned for seeing the future - she was expected to graduate the Academy at the top of her class. Instead, she's failing. And the cost of failure is having her magic bound. Desperate, Raya asks the future a forbidden question. But instead of an answer, it shows her the end of all magic and the death of her kind. And at the heart of the vision is Ezzo, the boy it claims she's destined to love. Except Ezzo's not just a boy, he's an illegal half-Shade who's spent the last year drinking away his past, and he's not interested in the future - his or hers. With time running out on a prophecy only she can see, Raya must convince Ezzo to help her decipher the vision - before it's too late to steer fate onto a different path.

The Portuguese
An intimate portrait of this fascinating country, capturing its contradictions and charms. Though a founding member of NATO and the euro, Portugal is often overlooked, a small country on Europe’s southwestern edge. In The Portuguese, veteran journalist Barry Hatton blends historical insight with personal anecdotes to explore this enigmatic nation. During the 1400s and 1500s, Portuguese explorers led Europe into the Atlantic and helped connect Asia with Europe, creating a vast four-continent empire. This legacy still resonates today, particularly through the Portuguese language, spoken by over 220 million people worldwide. Hatton examines Portugal’s vibrant yet turbulent past—from the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which shook European thinking and began a long decline, through António Salazar’s dictatorship, to its end in the 1974 Carnation Revolution, briefly thrusting Portugal into Cold War geopolitics. Hatton also explores the country’s complex ties with neighbouring Spain, and its oldest ally, England. With diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, a love of food and fine wine, an easy-going lifestyle and a rebellious streak, the Portuguese are uniquely compelling. Hatton’s portrait is intimate and revealing, capturing the charms and contradictions of a fascinating country. .

My Body is a Meadow
'Urgent and beautiful, this book shows how our treatment of disability mirrors our treatment of nature. Essential reading' - Katherine May, author of Wintering'Enlightening, energetic, challenging and essential ... this book should be required reading for everyone' - Katriona O'Sullivan, author of Poor and Hungry Since childhood, Bethany Handley has always felt most at home out in the wilds of the Welsh countryside. This all changed when Bethany became a full-time wheelchair user in her twenties and suddenly found herself padlocked out of the landscapes she belonged to. Today, nearly one in four people are Disabled in the UK. Yet, public rights of way are blocked in 32,000 places across England and Wales. My Body is a Meadow writes into this troubling landscape, delivering a galvanising call for us to rethink how we live among nature and each other. Join Bethany as she wheels through the British countryside exploring ableism, climate justice and what nature means to her. On this journey we discover the feral boar of the Forest of Dean; how the metal and rubber of a wheelchair can become just as much a part of your body as skin and bone; why swifts rarely land and how maps tell a story of exclusion. Exploring how land ownership, privatised healthcare, biodiversity loss and social marginalisation intertwine, Bethany shows why we must learn from nature's model of shared survival - and urges us to work together to make it open for all. 'A passionate call for an inclusive countryside - nature for all and all for nature' - Jack Cornish, author of The Lost Paths'A change making book' - Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean'A stunning exploration of longing for freedom, finding a home in your body and walking your own path in life' - Pippa Stacey, author of How to Do Life with a Chronic Illness

Samostatná pozornost je věnována také znalecké činnosti ve zdravotnictví a specifickým situacím, které vznikají na rozhraní medicíny a práva.
Kniha je určena především studentům zdravotnických oborů, lékařům, nelékařským zdravotnickým pracovníkům a dalším profesionálům působícím ve zdravotnictví. Využití však najde i u studentů práva, právníků specializujících se na zdravotnické právo nebo pracovníků veřejné správy.

Only a Little While Here
Winner of the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize • Winner of Colombia’s National Novel Award This prizewinning novel interweaves four animal odysseys in a gripping, adventurous meditation on migration and displacement in the inextricable human and natural worlds. In Only a Little While Here, award-winning author María Ospina evokes the gratification to be found through close, humble observation of nature. With characteristic precision and intensity, Ospina trains our attention on the lives of five creatures: a migratory songbird dazzled by city lights, an orphaned porcupine saved by kindness, two dogs grieving the loss of their human companions, and a determined beetle transported to a vast, unimaginable world. The surprising drama of their lives reveals the fragility and power of belonging, and what it means to create—or lose—a home. Along the way, our narrator models the attentiveness needed to mend the rift between humans and non-human creatures and celebrates animals’ often-overlooked status as witnesses of our shared world. Alive with eagle-eyed curiosity, Only a Little While Here is ecological fiction at its most soul stirring.
