From the New York Times bestselling author Mercedes Lackey, fan favourite Vanyel returns as the protagonist to a Valdemar novel for the first time in over 30 years in a magical adventure of friendship and intrigue.Herald-Mage Vanyel has been good friends with the acerbic, take-no-prisoners Healer Vixen for quite some time, since they shared a circuit on the Pelagirs Border. He tempers her somewhat prickly demeanor; she has no patience with his Byronic Brooding. Theyve often run into each other out in the borderlands where he is most needed, and in a crisis, they work together like the proverbial well-oiled machine.And a crisis is what seems to be occurring, this time in the south, in the unclaimed lands between Valdemar and with Rethwellan. Someone, or several someones, its not clear yet, is possibly coordinating attacks both physical and magical across the border, but the attacks are seemingly at random, and without rhyme or reason.Discovering what is truly going on will take as much spycraft as magic, and will need someone who will be welcome without question outside of Valdemar. That is where Vixen comes in: even prickly-tempered Healers are welcome everywhere. This will be the first time they have been paired up for what looks to be a long mission. Can their friendship handle that much close contact? Will they uncover what is really going on in the south?And what if this is all a trap, designed specifically to trap Vanyel, the most powerful Herald-Mage Valdemar has to protect the Crown?

The next day The Guest explores Vaim, meeting a shopkeeper and a sailor. He dines at the local restaurant, also owned by Brita, and begins to realise his possessions are going missing.

Da premiada autora de Rombo, um livro que revive a magia do cinema e viaja pelo seu imaginário colectivo a partir de uma localidade remota na Hungria.Prémio Kleist | Prémio Literário W.-G. Sebald | Premio Internacional Hermann Hesse | Premio Paul CelanAo viajar pelas vastas planicies do sudeste da Hungria, a narradora faz uma paragem numa pequena localidade quase abandonada perto da fronteira com a Romenia, cujo cinema - mozi em hungaro - esta fechado ha muito. Outrora centro pulsante da vida comunitaria, o edificio surge agora como ruina, e a sua importancia relegada para as historias e memorias dos que ainda permanecem naquela aldeia.

Humans used to be embedded in the natural world, but today many of us live sedentary screen-based lives indoors, treating nature as something distant to be watched on television or reached by flying elsewhere.In Unwilded, Alastair Humphreys examines the consequences of this disconnection and how it shapes our wellbeing, childhood, education, diets, lifestyles and the liveability of towns. On a wider scale, it explains why the climate and ecological emergencies feel abstract and beyond our individual responsibility.At the heart of the book is shifting baseline syndrome: from the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree to the extinction of possibly the most abundant bird species in history, it is the quiet process by which each generation accepts a depleted world as normal. Unwilded argues that change need not begin with grand gestures. It can begin with spending just fifteen minutes outdoors, paying attention. From nothing comes understanding, care and responsibility and the beginning of rewilding ourselves and the world.

The future has become a key focus in the social sciences, both as a research topic and as a space for political imagination and resistance. Since the climate crisis has moved into public consciousness, with movements like Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion, questions about what a climate-just future looks like and how it can be achieved have gained urgency.This book explores how different collective actors imagine and shape the future in the context of climate justice. It examines tensions between radical transformation, post-growth, and green modernization, as well as the contrasting ecological visions of left-wing and right-wing activism. Future imaginaries are presented not only as visions, but also as tools for action shaping resistance, inspiring self-organization, and influencing strategies for sustainable change.Drawing on examples from grassroots climate movements, guerrilla gardening, ecovillages, and other forms of collective action, this volume offers one of the first comprehensive overviews of how imagined futures can guide political practice and societal transformation.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode

French poet, essayist, art critic and translator Charles Baudelaire inaugurated a new era in world literature - indeed, he coined the term modernity. This fresh translation of his best poetry, by eminent translator, poet, and novelist Philip Terry, lays bare the richness and the long afterlife of Baudelaires verse, and brings out all the originality of his ideas.Here, in lushly visual and sonorous verse, we find themes that still preoccupy us today. Baudelaire captured life in the city like no one else, drawing a portrait of Paris as the ultimate glittering seductress - and also as a fragmented landscape peopled by isolated individuals. As much as an urban eyewitness, he was an incisive personal poet, vividly evoking the ebb and flow of desire: the joy of fulfilling it, the agony of feeling, and even worse, not feeling it. Terrys bold, contemporary translation style makes clear why Baudelaire, a century and a half after his death, is still the painter of modern life.
