Empower children to stand up for what is right with this picture book inspired by the real-life events around the statue of a slave trader, its toppling and heroic replacement. They call him ‘HERO’, but he’s no HERO – not to me. A Hero Like Me is inspired by the events of 7 June 2020, when a statue of seventeenth-century slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down and thrown into Bristol Harbour during an anti-racism protest. Co-author Jen Reid was one of the protesters that day, and despite being afraid of heights, she spontaneously climbed onto the empty plinth and raised her fist high above her head – a moment that was captured on camera and shared around the world. On the morning of 15 July, a statue of Jen by Marc Quinn was added to the empty plinth. It was called A Surge of Power and it gained national attention for the 24 hours it was in place, and beyond. This inspiring picture book tells the story of these events through the eyes of a little girl who, every day, on her way to school, sees a towering statue. A statue of a man who sold freedom for cotton and tea. The world around her says this man is a hero. But she knows he’s not a hero – not a real one. Heroes are hard to find. She looks for them around corners, under rocks, and on TV, but there are none that she can see. And so, the little girl marches and shouts for them instead. And that statue – he doesn’t belong. He doesn’t stand for Kindness. He doesn’t stand for Peace. Maybe he shouldn’t stand at all. A Hero Like Me empowers children to have courage to stand up for what is right and be their own hero. It shows every child that they have a voice in their community and a say in who is on their streets. That they too have power, just like Jen.

New edition with a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo A brutal record of segregated America ... essential reading Guardian An anti-racist classic Bernardine Evaristo In the autumn of 1959, a white Texan journalist named John Howard Griffin travelled across the Deep South of the United States disguised as a working-class black man. Black Like Me is Griffin s own account of his journey. Published in book form two years later it sold over five million copies, revealed to a white audience the daily experience of racism and became one of the best-known accounts of racial injustice in Jim Crow-era America. Embraced by some and fiercely criticised by others, its legacy sixty years on remains problematic, but Black Like Me nevertheless stands as a fascinating document of its times. There is a saying among Negroes that no white man, no matter how hard he tries, can really understand what it s like to be black in America. John Howard Griffin has come closer to this understanding than any white man that I know. Louis Lomax, Saturday Review If it was a frightening experience for him as nothing but a make-believe Negro for sixty-six days, then you think about what real Negroes in America have gone through for 400 years.

Inspired by leaders such as Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, the online Manosphere has exploded in recent years. Dedicated to anti-feminism, these communities have orchestrated online campaigns of misogynistic harassment, with some individuals going as far as committing violent terrorist attacks. Although the Manosphere has become a focus point of the media, researchers and governments alike, discussions tend to either over-sensationalize the community or offer simplistic explanations for their existence. This book uses a mixture of historical and economic analysis, alongside actual Manosphere content, to delve deeper. With The Male Complaint, Simon James Copland explains how the Manosphere has developed and why it appeals to so many men. He argues that the Manosphere is not an aberration, but is deeply embedded within mainstream, neoliberal, social structures. For a cohort of alienated men, the promise of community provides a space of understanding, connection and purpose. This insightful book dares to dig into the corners of incel communities and online spaces where misogyny thrives. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand, and do something about, this growing and worrying phenomenon.

Eddie Drood, k vašim službám. Moje rodina po generace vrhala tu trochu světla na síly temnoty, chránila lidstvo před všemi zlými, nepřátelskými a v širším smyslu škodlivými nelidskými predátory, kteří se krmí strachem a utrpením lidí. Nikdo nedokáže nakopat záporákům zadek jako my Droodové – a zvlášť výše jmenovaný. Vlastně to byla právě moje kvalifikace v oblasti nakopávání zadků, co způsobilo, že si mne všiml legendární Nezávislý agent Alexander King. King je nejlepší z nejlepších, celý svůj život strávil usilovnou prací pro kohokoliv a všechny zároveň, za patřičný obolus dělal cokoliv a všechno. Zkrátka co se naskytlo. Nyní leží na smrtelné posteli a všechna tajemství a informace, která nashromáždil, chce odkázat někomu, kdo je toho hoden. King pro tuto potenciální poctu vybral šest z naší branže. Pojal to jako soutěž a vyzval nás, abychom vyřešili pět záhad v různých končinách světa a současně se při tom snažili vyřadit ze hry svoje konkurenty. Definitivním způsobem. Jinými slovy, vzájemně si vrážet dýky do zad tak dlouho, až zbude jen jeden z nás. Mými protihráči jsou agenti a agentky z CIA, od vílího dvora a dokonce i z Noční strany. Přesto musím za každou cenu zvítězit, protože King vlastní i nejdůležitější tajemství Droodů: ví, kdo je zrádce v našem středu.

Není to žádná procházka podělanou zahradou, být Droodem – jedním z rodiny, která vás lidičky brání před tvory noci, co si na vás brousí zuby už pěknou řádku staletí. Nejsme zrovna oblíbení – těmi, kterým pravidelně nakopáváme zadek ani nevděčným lidstvem, a vlastně se nemáme moc rádi ani mezi sebou.A teď je Matriarcha mrtvá. Zavražděná. Možná někým z nás. Možná ne.Zase to spadlo na mne, Eddieho Drooda, abych jednal jako hlava celé naší velké rodiny a rozhodl, co a jak. Vůbec to nebude lehké. Víte, názor na to, kdo Matriarchu zavraždil, Droody rozdělil do dvou více méně stejně velkých táborů: ti jedni si myslí, že ji zabila moje Molly, zatímco ti druzí jsou přesvědčeni, že jsem to udělal já.A já vím určitě jenom to, že já jsem to nebyl.

Jsem Eddie Drood alias Šaman Bond, člen rodiny Droodů. My Droodové držíme už po generace síly temnoty na uzdě. Je to zatraceně těžká práce – a my jsme v ní vážně dobří.Ale právě teď na tom nejsou Droodové nejlépe. Zvlášť poté, co byla zavražděna Matriarcha a ukázalo se, že ji zabil jeden z rodiny. Dost nás to vzalo, to vám tedy řeknu. A rozumí se samo sebou, že síly temnoty neztrácely čas a okamžitě využily situace. Objevilo se satanistické spiknutí, takové, které by mohlo uvrhnout celé lidstvo do spárů největšího z velkých zel – navždy.Takže to vypadá dost zle – a já tady nejsem, abych to pomohl vyřešit. Jsem totiž mrtvý.

JC se zprvu domnívá, že duchové U Králova erbu jsou spíš městský mýtus než něco, co vyžaduje zásah Hledačů duchů.

Jeho prapředek nalezl legendární zbraň dávno ztracené rasy - Temnoprázdno. Vyzkoušel ji. Měla zhasínat hvězdy, ale zhasínala celé galaxie. Od té doby mu přezdívali Lord Morituri a patřil k nejvýznamnějším šlechticům císařství, než se stal obětí svých ambicí a dvorských intrik. Mladý Owen Morituri se hodlal vyvarovat takovýchto chyb a v ústraní svého zapadlého léna žil zahálčivým životem bohatého hejska. Mocná císařovna ale na strašnou zbraň nezapomněla: v čase vnitropolitické krize a objevení dvou nových, vražedných mimozemských ras, by se něco jako Temnoprázdno velmi hodilo. Intrika, která ji má přivést na stopu tajemné zbraně, začíná verdiktem, skrze který se z Owena stává psanec, a svět, jak jej znal, se v jediné hodině hroutí. Neúspěšný literát a amatérský historik se dává na útěk s cílem uchovat si holý život.
