Leah On the Offbeat - Becky Albertalli
In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda-soon to be a major motion picture, Love, Simon-we follow Simon s BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst.When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat - but real life isn t always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she s the only child of a young, single mum, and her life is decidedly less privileged. And even though her mom knows she s bisexual, she hasn t mustered the courage to tell her friends - not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.So Leah really doesn t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It s hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting-especially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended.

Já, Simon - Becky Albertalli - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Šestnáctiletý Simon už nějakou dobu ví, že je gay, ale ještě není připravený sdělit to okolnímu světu. Jedinou výjimkou je tajemný Blue, se kterým si Simon už několik měsíců vyměňuje e-maily a jejich vzájemné pouto sílí. Jenže pak citlivá korespondence padne do nesprávných rukou a Simon se stane obětí vydírání: buď udělá, co se po něm chce, i když se mu to příčí, nebo riskuje, že si tajné e-maily přečte celá škola. V sázce je však ještě mnohem víc – plachého Bluea by nechtěná publicita mohla vyděsit a Simon už by nikdy nezjistil, kdo Blue ve skutečnosti je… Citace / výkřiky z obálky knihy: „Na Simona Spiera mám velký zálusk.

The Future is Disabled - Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
In The Future Is Disabled, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha asks some provocative questions: What if the majority of people will be disabled in the near future - and what if that s not a bad thing? And what if disability justice and disabled wisdom become crucial if we re going to create a future where surviving fascism, climate change, and pandemics and creating liberation are possible? Building on the work of her game-changing book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, Piepzna-Samarasinha writes about disability justice at the end of the world, documenting the many ways disabled people kept and are keeping each other - and the rest of the world - alive during Trump, fascism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other subjects include crip interdependence, care and mutual aid in real life, disabled community building, and disabled art practice as survival and joy. Written over the course of two years of disabled isolation during the pandemic, this is a book of love letters to other disabled QTBIPOC (and those who care about us and the work of disability justice, the care crisis, and surviving the apocalypse); honor songs for kin who are gone; recipes for survival; questions and real talk about care, organizing, disabled families, and kin networks and communities; and wild brown disabled femme joy in the face of death. With passion and power, The Future Is Disabled remembers our dead and insists on our future.

I hope, after you read this, that you feel as in love with this land and its citizens, both human and more than human, as I do. Long live Appalachia!” —Rebecca Beyer, author of Wild Witchcraft In an ode to her Appalachian roots and ancestors, known and unknown, of blood and kin, Leah Middleton, the Redheaded Witch, tells the stories of the grandfathers who had dirt under their fingernails from farming, the grandmothers who bled while sewing their garments, the relatives who decided to take a leap of faith and pave a new path, the ones who passed away too young, and the fellow practitioners and healers who showed her the way. It is a work of veneration to keep their spirits alive. If you share similar roots or find yourself creating new ones, this magical book is a hand to welcome you home. Explore the superstitions of the mountains, the healing charms of doctors, and the folk beliefs of witchery. Wander down shadowy paths lined with rhododendrons, uncovering the hidden corners where charms are whispered and prayers are spoken. Uncover the superstitions captured in this region that have inspired magical workings for protection and healing. Learn to walk the witch’s path as a rite conducted with reverence and solemnity. Appalachia is a place where the lines between the mundane and the magical are blurred, and Magic from the Hilltops and Hollers offers readers exquisite insight into the enduring lore and magic of the region.

Cry When the Baby Cries - Becky Barnicoat
*A New Statesman Book for 2025 * The most accurate account of becoming a parent I have ever read. PHILIPPA PERRY‘So clever, so funny, so astute, so healing. Becky Barnicoat is a stone cold genius. LUCY JONESA glorious antidote to parenting books, this darkly humorous, candid and insightful graphic memoir brings the early years of parenthood to life – in all their chaos, wonder and delirium. Intimate, relatable and very funny, Becky Barnicoat explores everything from the anatomy of the hospital bag to the frantic obsession with putting your baby down drowsy but awake, to the tyranny of gentle parenting.From pregnancy to the feral toddler years, Barnicoat extends a sticky hand to all new parents grappling with the impossible but joyous jigsaw puzzle of their lives. Barnicoat gives us permission to cry when the baby cries – and also laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked, drool and generally revel in a deeply strange new world ruled by a tyrannical tiny leader, growing bigger and more loved by the day. Tender, moving, beautifully drawn and also, extremely hilarious. ISABEL GREENBERG It made me laugh, weep, cheer and howl...essential reading for parents and their peers. NELL FRIZZELL

Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? - Leah Cowan
Every week it seems there is a fresh scandal involving abhorrent, racist, misogynist behaviour by police officers. Yet these are the very people women are supposed to approach for help when faced with violence. And many feminists, hoping to use the criminal justice system to protect women, fight for stronger laws and longer sentences for those who harm them.Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? traces the history of British feminism’s alliances and struggles with the law and its enforcers. Drawing on the legacy of Black British feminism, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known the truth: the police aren’t feminist, and the law does not keep women safe.

A future masterwork Joanne HarrisAt the turn of the twenty-second century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food, and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds fifteen light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit, and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.PRAISE FOR THE WAYFARERS Becky Chambers is a wonder, and I feel better for having her books in my life JOHN CONNOLLY In a word, brilliant ANDREW CALDECOTT A short but fierce ode to humanity and all our reaches and flaws.

Bauhaus 1919-1933 - Hal Foster, Juliet Kinchin, Lupton Ellen, Andreas Huyssen, Michael W. Jennings, Leah Dickerman, Charles W. Haxthausen, Brigid Dohe
The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists, architects and designers--among them Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stolzl--in an extraordinary conversation on the nature of art in the industrial age. Aiming to rethink the form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped the world today. Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity, published to accompany a major multimedia exhibition, is The Museum of Modern Art s first comprehensive treatment of the subject since its famous Bauhaus exhibition of 1938, and offers a new generational perspective on the twentieth century s most influential experiment in artistic education. Organized in collaboration with the three major Bauhaus collections in Germany (the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau and the Klassic Stiftung Weimar), Bauhaus 1919-1933 examines the extraordinarily broad spectrum of the school s products, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting and sculpture. Many of the objects discussed and illustrated here have rarely if ever been seen or published outside Germany. Featuring approximately 400 color plates, richly complemented by documentary images, Bauhaus 1919-1933 includes two overarching essays by the exhibition s curators, Barry Bergdoll and Leah Dickerman, that present new perspectives on the Bauhaus. Shorter essays by more than 20 leading scholars apply contemporary viewpoints to 30 key Bauhaus objects, and an illustrated narrative chronology provides a dynamic glimpse of the Bauhaus lived history.

*WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2023**A FINALIST FOR THE 2024 PEN / EO WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD* A landmark book on the womb - its history, its present and the possibilities for its future - by the bestselling author of Hard Pushed: A Midwife s Story A gripping exploration of the science of the uterus, the politics of medicine and the future of reproductive freedom New Statesman Page for page, I may not have ever learned more from a book Rob Delaney, author of A Heart that Works It will change the way you think about bodies forever Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life Empowerment in book form Maxine Mei-Fung Chung, author of What Women Want A phenomenal book Elinor Cleghorn, author of Unwell WomenThe womb is the most miraculous organ in the body - with the power to bring life or cause death; to yield joy or pain - yet most of us know almost nothing about it.In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard sets out on a journey to explore the rich past, complex present and dynamic future of the uterus. She speaks to the Californian doctor who believes women deserve a period-free life; walks in the footsteps of the Scottish woman whose Caesarean section changed childbirth forever; uncovers America s long history of forced and coercive sterilisation; observes uterine transplant surgery in Sweden and takes a very personal dive into the world of womb wellness .Written with wisdom, warmth and nuance, and combining the author s years of experience as a midwife with medical history, scientific discovery and journalistic inquiry, Womb is an extraordinary exploration of a woefully under-researched and misunderstood organ. Above all, the book reveals that the uterus is more than the sum of its biological parts: it influences all our lives in the twenty-first century, and how we celebrate, medicate and legislate the womb might yet control where we go from here.
