Us Dark Few
Khalani is a Prisoner.
Takeshi is a Guard.
Both are bound to the Underground.
Khalani Kanes has never stood on the surface of the Earth. Humans have lived underground for hundreds of years, and she’s never left the dark city of Apollo. She longed to visit Genesis, the final place where humanity lives beneath the sun. But when Khalani is thrown into prison for a crime she didn’t commit, all the fragile hopes she once had are destroyed.
In Braderhelm Prison, every second is a battle to survive. Her neighbors are murderers, and the cold-blooded guards punish without mercy. She thought violent inmates posed the greatest threat, but then she meets Takeshi Steele, the infamous Captain who runs her cell block. As cold as he is ruthless, he’ll break Khalani before letting her escape to the surface - a feat no prisoner has ever achieved.
But darker traps and secrets await within the prison’s shadows, and more than one person wants her dead. In order to survive, she must fight criminals and uncover the truth of why she was locked away. If not, the prison will become her grave.
Enter Braderhelm, where only the Wicked remain.
Volám sa Adam Harper a bol som vrah
Adam Harper, kedysi túlavý nomád, žije dnes bežným životom, ku ktorému patrí stále zamestnanie, rutinné činnosti, koníčky a priatelia, s ktorými raz za čas vyrazí za zábavou. Háčik je však v tom, že to všetko je len súčasťou toho, čo Adam nazýva maskou človeka. V skutočnosti, aj keď dokáže veľmi dobre predstierať emócie, nič necíti. Má rád hudbu, filmy, knihy, šport, a dokonca aj svoje povolanie kuchára. Nedokáže sa však emocionálne viazať na živé bytosti.
Ale to je len prvá časť tajomstva, ktorú maska človeka ukrýva.
Adam je v skutočnosti sériový vrah, a práve teraz zostávajú už len dva dni do chvíle, keď plánuje opäť zabiť.
Lenže keď v dôsledku neočakávaných zvratov zachráni život práve tej, ktorá mala byť jeho obeťou, Adamove zaužívané vzorce sa rúcajú a jeho život mení k nepoznaniu. Zisťuje napríklad, že nie je jediný, kto má tajomstvá, a taktiež, že možno nie je taký vyprahnutý, ako si vždy myslel. Do toho všetkého sa priplieta tajomná osoba z Adamovho susedstva, na ktorú z nejakého dôvodu maska človeka takmer vôbec nezaberá. Navyše je tu Claudia. Mladá žena, ktorá mala byť pôvodne jeho obeťou. Avšak teraz sa stáva osobou, s ktorou sa Adam začne zbližovať viac, než si myslel, že je pre neho možné.

A szerelem hangja
Joni Lark megvalósította az álmát: ő az egyik legkeresettebb dalszerző Los Angelesben. Jelenleg azonban alkotói válsággal küzd, a lelkét felemésztő borzalmas űrt semmi nem képes kitölteni.
Amikor visszatér szülővárosába, az észak-karolinai Vienna Shoresba, abban reménykedik, hogy a homok, a tenger és a családja által üzemeltetett zenés klub, a Revelry koncertjei meghozzák számára az ihletet. Ám otthon már semmi sem olyan, mint régen. Legjobb barátnője kerüli, édesanyja emlékei halványulnak, és a Revelryt a bezárás fenyegeti.
Hogyan is tudna egy új dal megírására összpontosítani, amikor körülötte minden szétesik, és semmit sem tehet ellene?
De aztán hirtelen valami egészen különös dolog történik. Új dallam bukkan fel a fejében a semmiből, egy szöveg nélküli töredék, és ezzel egy időben beszélni kezd hozzá egy ellenállhatatlanul csábító hang, amely egy cinikus, súlyos terheket cipelő férfihoz tartozik.
Biztosan csak a túlhajszolt képzelete játszik vele.
Csakhogy a hang tulajdonosa, a nagyon is valóságos és bosszantóan jóképű zenész egyszer csak megjelenik Vienna Shoresban. Látszatra mogorva és idegesítő, semmi köze ahhoz a kedves, megértő és humoros valakihez, akit Joni a fejében hall. Ráadásul terve is van: befejezik a dalt, ami mindkettőjüket kísérti, megszabadulnak a köztük lévő különös telepatikus kapcsolattól, és remélik, hogy közben nem teszik kockára a szívüket.
Mert a dallam, ami nem ereszti őket, talán nem véletlenül talált rájuk.

But even if she wanted to play the killer’s game, she has more than one secret. And if she ever dares to expose them for the world to see, the truth will destroy her.

The Sacred Art of Teaching
An unprecedented, no-holds-barred set of dialogues about race and education from two of the country’s best-known educatorsIn this powerful and deeply personal volume, two luminary educators, generations apart but united by a shared commitment to transformative education, compare notes for the first time. An early recipient of a MacArthur “genius” Award, Lisa Delpit gave us the classic Other People’s Children and has been called “a visionary scholar and reformer” by the Harvard Education School, which awarded her an outstanding alumni award. Christopher Emdin is an award-winning educator whose book For White People Who Teach in the Hood . . . and the Rest of Y’all Too was a national bestseller. He is the creator of the HipHopEd social media movement and has been named one of Root’s 100 Most Influential African Americans and one of twenty-seven people bridging divides in the U.S. by Time magazine. Readers are treated to candid exchanges on topics including the role of art in education, students and politics, how educators of color can navigate the academy, specific approaches to pedagogy, the role of rap in education, and how spirituality informs these two education eminences’ work. With honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom, they reflect on their own journeys into education, the challenges they’ve faced, and the strategies they’ve developed to uphold equity and justice in a system too often resistant to both. These conversations are not only intellectually rich but emotionally resonant, offering a model of mentorship, mutual respect, and the power of dialogue across difference. A gift to teachers, scholars, and anyone passionate about reimagining public education, this book is a lasting contribution to the field—one that will inspire readers for generations to come.
Guide to the Lakes
William Wordsworth''s Guide to the Lakes gives a first-hand account of his feelings about the unique countryside that was the source of his inspiration. He addresses concerns that are relevant today, such as how the growing number of visitors, and the money they might bring, would affect such a small and vulnerable landscape.It is now understood that Wordsworth''s notion of the Lake District as ''a sort of national property, in which every man has a right and interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy'', expressed in his Guide, gave a rationale for the foundation of the National Trust in 1895 and the establishment of the Lake District National Park in 1951. Furthermore, the 2017 nomination document for the Lake District as a World Heritage site quotes this phrase in recognition of Wordsworth''s contribution to the idea that ''landscape has a value, and that everyone has a right to appreciate and enjoy it''. We can now see how Wordsworth''s Guide has had a far-reaching influence on the modern concept of legally-protected landscape. First published in 1810 and repeatedly revised by its author over the ensuing twenty-five years, William Wordsworth''s Guide to the Lakes has long been considered a crucial text for scholars of Romantic-era aesthetics, ecology, travel writing, and tourism.
Ami igazán fontos
Az élet második fele és Tartalmas élet szerzőjétől
„Életünk során számos kérdéssel szembesülünk, és talán mi magunk is kérdések vagyunk. Tűnődjünk el közösen, gondoljuk végig a magunk csodálatra méltóan változatos módján, mi az, ami igazán fontos számunkra, ami valóban számít az életben, és vágjunk neki az útnak együtt.”
Mi az, ami igazán elengedhetetlen ahhoz, hogy teljes életet élhessünk? Ez a könyv segít, hogy őszintén tisztázzuk: milyen értékeket tartunk nélkülözhetetlennek, és miben hiszünk igazán. James Hollis érdekfeszítő és továbbgondolásra ösztönző módon juttat el a kérdésfeltevésig és a lehetséges válaszokig, hogy mindnyájan megtalálhassuk a magunk útját, hogy önmagunk lehessünk, hogy valóban a saját életünket éljük.
Resurgence and Revolution
A riveting current history of the Kurdish rebel PKK groupAliza Marcus' new book tells the remarkable story of Kurdish revolution in the Middle East led by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) – the rebel group whose insurgency in Turkey has impacted countries, conflicts, and Kurdish demands throughout the region. Combining reportage and scholarship, Resurgence and Revolution explores the PKK's resurgence from the brink of defeat after the capture of its leader, Abdullah Ocalan, in 1999, and the brutal internal split that followed. The book tells the story of how Ocalan – operating from prison – reshaped the PKK to extend the group's influence beyond Turkey's borders, setting the stage for the group's dominance of northeastern Syria and the unlikely partnership between its allied forces and the U.S. in the fight against ISIS. Based on interviews with PKK fighters, their supporters, and opponents in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Europe, Marcus traces the group's ability to maintain power in Turkey and extend its activities across borders, using PKK rebels' own voices to show why young people join and fight for the group and its affiliates in Syria and Iran. For the more than 30 million Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria—and for the leaders of these countries—the PKK is a force that cannot be ignored. Understanding the PKK and what drives its supporters is crucial for understanding Kurdish demands and potential solutions. The fall of the Assad regime, and a new peace process between Turkey and the PKK has changed the dynamics for Kurdish demands and their control over territory in Syria. Resurgence and Revolution is a compelling and necessary read for understanding the impact of a resurgent PKK, the future of the Middle East, and the enduring struggle of the Kurds to rule themselves.
Teaching Toward Slow Hope
Reimagining college as a space for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Teaching Toward Slow Hope reveals what happens when higher education dares to become something more than transactional. Rather than positioning education as a financial investment, this book reimagines college as a space where students cultivate the skills and relationships needed for "collaborative survival" in an increasingly unpredictable world. Against a backdrop of mental health crises, ecological instability, and structural inequality, Douglas Haynes traces how students and educators across the Upper Midwest are remaking college into a place for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Through on-the-ground reporting and interviews with students, Haynes describes the impacts of dynamic, place-based educational programs. He takes readers on a journey from urban gardens in Milwaukee to restored oak savannas in Madison, and from a community food hub in Kalamazoo to the shore of Lake Superior. At the heart of the programs he visits is a shared commitment to what Haynes calls practices of slow hope: deep listening, reciprocity, collaboration, and embodied learning. Haynes evokes the experiences of students harvesting native seeds, cooking with local produce, gathering community histories, and learning to see their landscapes anew. Many of these students are first-generation or struggling with anxiety or affording college. From their experiences emerges a deeply human story of transformation based in place, community, and care. Teaching Toward Slow Hope offers educators, administrators, and anyone invested in the future of higher education a powerful new lens for thinking about what college is really for.
