ONE OF THE NEW YORKER S BEST BOOKS OF 2023 SO FARCHOSEN BY FINANCIAL TIMES READERS FOR BEST BOOKS OF 2023A NEW YORK TIMES BOOKS EDITOR S CHOICE Has the makings of a classic. -The TLS Chilling and vital. . . sensitive and thought-provoking. - The Times Exhumation can divide brothers and restore fathers, open old wounds and open the possibility of regeneration-of building something new with the pile of broken mirrors that is loss and mourning. In this haunting and poetic account, anthropologist Alexa Hagerty joins forensic teams and families of the missing as they search for the hundreds of thousands victims of genocidal violence unleashed by authoritarian governments in Latin America.In Guatemala and Argentina, she learns to see the dead body with a forensic eye. She examines bones for evidence of torture and cause of death - hands bound by rope, cuts from machetes - but also for signs of a life lived: a weaver is recognized from the tiny bones of the toes, molded by years of kneeling before a loom; a girl is identified alongside her pet dog. Hagerty shows us how exhumation can bring meaning to families dealing with unimaginable loss and justice to societies in the aftermath of state terror and genocide. Weaving together powerful stories about investigative breakthroughs, grieving families, histories of violence, and her own forensic coming of age, Hagerty crafts a moving portrait of the living and the dead. Touching, but achingly honest - a most amazing account of training as a forensic anthropologist. When Hagerty talks about lives being violently made into bones, I defy you not to be moved. The text is unflinching, but then the crimes and the victims deserve nothing less. I guarantee this will make you think long and hard about cruelty and human rights and the dedication and humanity of the forensic scientist. - Sue Black, author of All That remains Essential reading as a human. - Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author of Fact of a Body

“London and Zelinsky have created something unendingly fun but also deeply meaningful: Art takes on a life of its own, no matter how much the artist thinks the work can be controlled!” —Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal–winning author of The Invention of Hugo CabretA still life painting is a painting where everything is supposed to stay still. But what if it doesn’t? Acclaimed author Alex London and Caldecott Medal–winning artist Paul O. Zelinsky bring exquisite life and adventure to this slyly funny and inventive picture book for fans of Christopher Denise’s Knight Owl and Corinna Luyken’s The Book of Mistakes. Every young artist has drawn or painted a still life scene. Perhaps it is a bowl of fruit, or a toy, or a vase of flowers, or a chair. The only rule is that a still life painting must stay still.But staying still is hard! Especially for a curious mouse and a hungry dragon and a no-nonsense princess. Will the artist notice that his still life painting is breaking all the rules?From award-winning author Alex London and Caldecott Medal–winning artist Paul O. Zelinsky, Still Life is a funny, subversive, and clever picture book that brings a painting to wildly imaginative life. Readers will pore over all the silly and surprising details in the illustrations—which tell a story of daring rescues, dashing heroes, and found friends. With its inventive humor, Still Life is for readers of Battle Bunny and David Ezra Stein’s Interrupting Chicken.

This volume is designed to accompany the OCR A-Level specification in Latin (first teaching September 2016), with practice unseen passages from Livy, the set prose for Paper 1, together with passages from a selection of other writers to support Paper 2, for which no author is set. A bank of 80 passages aims to take Sixth Form students from the level of heavily adapted post-GCSE ( AS -equivalent) passages and develop their knowledge and skills to reach A-Level standard. But this is not just a book of unseen passages: there is a chronological progression through the unseens in order to give the reader a sense of the narrative of Roman history, exploring key events through the words of original texts. Every passage begins with an introduction, outlining the basic content of the passage, followed by a lead-in sentence, paraphrasing the few lines before the passage begins. Part 1 passages are straight translation exercises on the model of the A-Level Paper 1. They also feature, however, a Discendum box, highlighting a facet of Latin prose with which students may not be familiar, or extension questions on grammar and style. Part 2 passages are accompanied by questions on comprehension, translation and grammar, replicating the demands of Paper 2 in full. An extensive word list is provided in the form of checklists which build the reader s knowledge of the most commonly occurring words and phrases in Latin prose. The passages are punctuated with discussions of Roman history during the periods covered in the passages, and a comprehensive introduction includes portraits of the authors featured in the book, as well as grammatical reminders to help readers deal with both the trickier elements of unseen prose and with A-Level grammatical analysis questions.

The Quest of the Holy Grail adds a spiritual dimension to the adventures of Arthur s knights. Galahad replaces Lancelot as the central figure, though he appears and disappears so often that many of the knights are engaged in a quest to find him rather than the Grail. The central concept of the Grail was never accepted by the Church, and the Quest remains a secular romance which can be interpreted as a spiritual allegory. This is done by the hermits who appear throughout the story, pointing out the meaning of each adventure. The adventures have a strong element of the magical and otherworldly, and the story is more closely structured than Lancelot, with the accomplishment of the Grail adventure by Galahad, Perceval and Bors as its centre and culmination. For a full description of the Vulgate Cycle see the blurb for the complete set.

On a sweltering day in August 1960, in the segregated Deep South city of Jacksonville, Florida, a seventeen-year-old Black boy finished his dishwashing job at Morrison s Cafeteria, walked out the back door, and found himself in the middle of a nightmare. Hundreds of white men with ax handles and baseball bats were attacking Black sit-in protestors in Hemming Park. Suddenly surrounded, the young man endured menacing blows and racist taunts. He called for help from a white police officer standing nearby, but no help came. And he felt an unwarranted shame he determined never to feel again. His name was Nat Glover. Nat s life could have ended that day, but instead, the ordeal reinforced his plans to become a police officer. His belief in a better world could have faded to cynicism, but instead, it took root in his spirit. His desire to overcome the poverty and racism of his youth could have given in to shame, but instead, Nat resolved to dedicate his life to honoring the dignity of all people. Nat Glover went on to serve in law enforcement for thirty-seven years, became the first Black sheriff in Jacksonville, Florida, and the first Black sheriff in the state of Florida in over a hundred years post-Reconstruction, and chose -- again and again -- to do the right thing at the right time for the sake of justice, compassion, and truth. In Striving for Justice, Nat recounts his history-making years in police reformation, the values that fuel him as a leader and American citizen, and what he believes will move this country forward toward hope and healing just as he once rose again...against all odds.

Quest for the Red Sulphur: The Life of Ibn Arabi is undoubtedly a landmark in Ibn Arabi studies. Until the publication of this book, anyone who wanted to learn about the life of Ibn Arabi has had little choice of material to work from. This major study by Claude Addas is based on a detailed analysis of a whole range of Ibn Arabi s own writings as well as a vast amount of secondary literature in both Arabic and Persian. The result is the first-ever attempt to reconstruct what proves to have been a double itinerary: on the one hand, the journey that took Ibn Arabi from his native Andalusia to Damascusâ ”and on the other hand, the Night Journey which carried him along the paths of asceticism and prayer to the ultimate stage of revelation of his mystic quest.

Dusting Off Thunderbolts is not just another book about how to be a good leader. Having worked in 50 countries on a quest to find what he calls the heart of leadership, Sir John Jones shares wisdom gleaned from diverse cultures and continents. You will hear from giants of sport, literature, art, film and music, and be guided by poets, philosophers, war heroes and Nobel prize-winners.Sir John will introduce you to external forces that spark the inner spirit of leadership. The ancients called such forces muses and, like old friends, they have sustained Sir John through more than 40 years of leadership. Muses favour those courageous enough to work tirelessly at their craft and travel each day the tough road of hard practice, dedication and quiet heroism. Sadly, some leaders deny their existence, believing that they themselves are the sole source of their success. For these leaders, the gods will dust off their thunderbolts.Teeming with practical ideas, stories and suggestions, Dusting Off Thunderbolts will make you laugh, make you cry, make you think and help you grow. It is an affirmation of those who lead with deep humanity. It is a clarion call to those who see themselves as a constant work in progress. It champions those who take risks but give themselves permission to fail. It is a companion for those who have the courage to stand at the front while embracing their own vulnerability. It is a celebration of the leadership spirit within all of us. For all our failings, flaws and fears, neither the gods nor their muses can do their work without us.

FORZA Life+ je sada signalizátorů s příposlechem, kde se díky vylepšení elektroniky a změně typu baterek v příposlechu podařilo dosáhnout výrazně vyšší výdrže celé sady. FORZA Life+ je sada signalizátorů s příposlechem, kde se díky vylepšení elektroniky a změně typu baterek v příposlechu podařilo dosáhnout výrazně vyšší výdrže celé sady. Kromě toho však byly zachovány všechny důležité technické parametry i design léty ověřené a tisíci rybářů testované sady FORZA. Delphin FORZA Life+ je sada signalizátorů s příposlechem poskytující spolehlivou světelnou, zvukovou či vibrační signalizaci záběru za každých okolností. Tělo signalizátorů a příposlechu je vyrobeno z černého pevného ABS plastu, což zaručuje odolnost vůči mechanickému poškození. Aspektem, který přispívá k dlouhé životnosti je také absolutní voděodolnost. Každý signalizátor je možné pomocí páčky přepnout do denního nebo nočního režimu. V případě nočního režimu se rozsvítí poziční LED dioda, díky které budete mít vždy přehled o rozmístění vašich prutů. Signalizátory disponují širokou škálou volitelných parametrů. Tón signalizace (spínač T) a citlivost v rozmezí 1-9cm (spínač S) lze navolit podle potřeby až z pěti možností. Při padáku resp. zpětném záběru budete upozorněni odlišným tónem. Hlasitost lze nastavit také v pěti různých úrovních, přičemž úroveň 0 představuje tichý mód. Nespornou devizou signalizátorů ze sady FORZA Life+ je možnost vybrat si ze 7 barev signalizační LED diody. Každý si tak vybere svou oblíbenou a pokud zatoužíte po změně, tak si jednoduše zvolíte jinou barvu pomocí otočného spínače C (colour) a nemusíte tak kupovat nový signalizátor. Ve spodní části se nachází vstup pro 2,5 mm konektor pro připojení svítícího indikátoru záběru. Každý signalizátor navíc disponuje závity na upevnění snag gear , které jsou i součástí balení. Navíc k signalizátorům získáváte pevný transportní kryt a k přijímači stolní držák! Samotný příposlech se vyznačuje spolehlivým přijímáním signálu i v porostlém terénu a jeho dosah představuje za optimálních podmínek až 160m.

WINNER OF THE 2023 LOCUS AWARD FOR NON-FICTIONWINNER OF THE BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR BEST NON-FICTIONFINALIST FOR THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST RELATED WORKSHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST NON-FICTION Always readable, illuminating and honest. It made me miss the real Terry. - Neil Gaiman Sometimes joyfully, sometimes painfully, intimate . . . it is wonderful to have this closeup picture of the writer s working life. - Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Observer--------At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet - his own.The creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, Terry Pratchett was known and loved around the world for his hugely popular books, his smart satirical humour and the humanity of his campaign work. But that s only part of the picture.Before his untimely death, Terry was writing a memoir: the story of a boy who aged six was told by his teacher that he would never amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him wrong. For Terry lived a life full of astonishing achievements: becoming one of the UK s bestselling and most beloved writers, winning the prestigious Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood.Now, the book Terry sadly couldn t finish has been written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the Pratchett literary estate. Drawing on his own extensive memories, along with those of the author s family, friends and colleagues, Rob unveils the full picture of Terry s life - from childhood to his astonishing writing career, and how he met and coped with what he called the Embuggerance of Alzheimer s disease.A deeply moving and personal portrait of the extraordinary life of Sir Terry Pratchett, written with unparalleled insight and filled with funny anecdotes, this is the only official biography of one of our finest authors.-------- Spins magic from mundanity in precisely the way Pratchett himself did. - Telegraph As frank, funny and unsentimental as anything its subject might have produced himself. - Mail on Sunday

Devon Price is the most exciting, revolutionary voice in autism advocacy today. -Fern Brady, comedian and author of Strong Female Character Deeply insightful and empowering, illuminating a path for those of us searching for authentic connections and relationships [...] This is the book I desperately needed. -Emily Katy, author of Girl Unmasked***Live your best, unashamedly unmasked Autistic life with this invaluable resource featuring tools for navigating friendships, family, work, love, and life, from the author of Unmasking Autism.So you ve discovered what masking is, how you re doing it, and the potential of embracing your neurodiversity. Now what?Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and confidence to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don t always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing - they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness.In this book, Devon Price helps you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving and being that work for you, using five key skills:· Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty· Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement· Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations· Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked· Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of livingWith powerful insights and transformative resources, Unmasking for Life is a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.***PRAISE FOR UNMASKING AUTISM: Outstanding. -Fern Brady, author of Strong Female Character Reading this felt like being at home - I didn t realise how much I masked. What an incredible book that I know will be re-read many times over. -Dr Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans A powerful argument for radical self-acceptance applicable to all readers. - Los Angeles Times

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that affects millions of people of all ages worldwide and has effects that ripple through society. Navigating Life with ADHD is a guidebook to help adults with ADHD, parents of children with ADHD, and their caregivers and loved ones thrive.The understanding of ADHD has been evolving: Once seen as a problem of bad kids with bad parents, today people of all ages and from all walks of life are diagnosed with ADHD. With effective treatment, people with ADHD can have amazing career trajectories and make highly original and valuable contributions to society. But what does it mean to have ADHD? The recognition of ADHD has been increasing steadily, and the American Academy of Neurology is proud to shed light on this topic and bring greater understanding to all involved. Readers will learn about the effects of ADHD on the lives of children and adults with the disorder and how to navigate these effects with loved ones and caregivers. The authors discuss how best to manage the many challenges associated with ADHD holistically: not simply focusing on ADHD but also its relationship to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other commonly co-occurring conditions. Medication and non-medication treatments are covered in an easy-to-understand way. With the liberal use of patient vignettes throughout, readers will relate and feel comfortable understanding what ADHD is -- and isn t-- and how to maximise success for the ADHDer in their life or for themselves if they themselves have ADHD.
