"To you, who hears the music of life, it must sound like the world has lost its harmony . . ."Asana Vaun can hear people's souls; their discordant melodies reveal both bodily injuries and emotional turmoil alike. But after a vicious war between humans and mythical creatures-a conflict Asana blames herself for-the cacophony of shattered songs threatens to overwhelm her.Unable to bear the world's brokenness, she leaps at the opportunity to use her magic to heal victims of the war in Nalyindi, a nation of creatures particularly devastated by violence.Despite her desire to help, Asana faces relentless prejudice as the only human in the country. Her only reprieve is her boss, Sugishta, whose silent soul piques Asana's curiosity. As their professional relationship crescendos into something deeper, she begins to find a home inside the hardened hearts she came to heal.But an unexpected act of violence forces Asana to choose between saving the ones she loves, or preventing the outbreak of another racial war. Is life the price of peace, or can harmony be found another way?

En 1969, Peter March, un père de famille, bon marin et amateur de défis, se lance dans l’aventure : participer à sa première course en solitaire, autour du monde et sans escale. Pas seulement pour y inscrire le nom de Sailahead, le trimaran révolutionnaire que cet électronicien fantasque a construit de ses mains. Mais pour la gloire. Pour s’inventer un destin. De déceptions en accidents, seul face à la mer, Peter March fabrique le plus fascinant des mensonges commis sur un voilier : il invente sa position. S’inspirant de son expérience de navigatrice en solitaire autant que d’un célèbre fait divers, Isabelle Autissier raconte l’affrontement fascinant entre un homme et l’océan, entre la raison et la folie.Elle écrit avec sensibilité, sans afféterie, forte de ses expériences mais aussi de ses échecs. Robert Solé, Le Monde des livres.

In the fall and winter of 1901-02, Rudolf Steiner gave a series of lectures in the library of Count and Countess Brockdorff, patrons of the German Theosophical Society. These lectures were then rewritten and issued in book form in the summer of 1902. They mark a watershed in the development of Western esotericism. This is a fundamental book, both in Steiner's own development and in the development of Western esotericism and the Christ event. Here readers will find the evolutionary development from the ancient Mysteries through the great Greek philosophers to the events portrayed in the Gospels. From the Classics in Anthroposophy Series.

Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time. The Danish word for "design” is "formgivning,” which literally means to give form to that which has not yet taken shape. In other words, to give form to the future. Using our power to give form, rather than allowing the future to take shape, is more important now than ever, as humankind’s impact on the planet continues to increase and pose ever greater challenges to all life forms. Architecture plays a special role by proposing spaces for our lives that are fragments of the future in the making. William Gibson’s words embody architecture’s role perfectly: "The future is already here―it’s just not evenly distributed.”With Formgiving, BIG presents the third part of its TASCHEN trilogy, which began with Yes is More, one of the most successful architectural books of its generation, and continued with Hot to Cold. An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation. The book is presented in a timeline, stretching from the Big Bang into the most distant future. Projects are structured around six strands of evolution―"Making,” "Sensing,” "Sustaining,” "Thinking,” "Healing,” and "Moving”―the multimedia-based, interdisciplinary concepts encompassing the building industry. Culture, climate, and landscape, as well as all the energies derived from the elements―the thermal mass of the ocean, the dynamics of currents, the energy and warmth of the sun, the power of the wind―are incorporated into these projects. Throughout more than 700 pages, Bjarke Ingels presents his personal selection of projects, including the 12,000-square-meter LEGO House in Denmark, the human-made ecosystems floating on oceans, the redesign of a World War II bunker into a contemplative museum, and the ski slope-infused power plant celebrating Copenhagen’s commitment to carbon neutrality. Through architecture and design, BIG gives shape to a sustainable and simultaneously colorful world.Bjarke Ingels: "To feel that we have license to imagine a future different from today, all we have to do is look back ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, to realize how radically different things were then than they are today. The same will be true if we can look ahead with the same clarity of vision. As we tackle the complexities of everyday life, these six evolutionary trajectories allow us to place a firm gaze on the horizon of time to prevent us from being derailed by the random distractions of today. Since we know from our past that our future is bound to be different from our present, rather than waiting for it to take shape on its own, we have the power to give it form.”Formgiving is also a companion volume to the exhibition of the same name, which was conceived at the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen and will travel to other venues worldwide. More than 65 projects document BIG’s global work through the eyes of their users, from the drawing board to global construction sites and finished projects. Throughout the book are insights into developments that reach five, ten, or fifty years into the future, and evidence of BIG’s intransigence to reach beyond the ordinary, and beyond worlds, to contribute to the future with each project. Each step not only reveals a world that resembles our dreams but also already tries to realize these dreams pragmatically. We have the power to create the world of tomorrow!The book features:previously unpublished essays by Bjarke Ingels,award-winning photography by Laurian Ghinitoiu, Iwan Baan, and Rasmus Hjortshøj, among others,planetary proposals for habitats on the Moon and research centers on Mars,20 LEGO master-builder models of BIG’s work,a glimpse of Masterplanet―BIG’s ongoing work on a collective, crowdsourced masterplan guide for sustaining our planet.

'A sweeping tour-de-force of investigative journalism' - Time magazine 'Epic ... the definitive text of the war' - New York Times In 2011, in a city in northern Syria, a small group of men and women began a movement that overthrew a brutal dictatorship. For the next eighteen months, many of the citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times. Days of Love and Rage details the powerfully intimate narratives of the men and women who led this struggle, and who experienced the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal. Among them: a pair of best friends torn apart by political polarization, a mother who stands up to male dominance, and a worker who risks everything for the dream of equality. Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the broader story of rising authoritarianism in our times. Days of Love and Rage has the force, sweep and artistry of a great novel, and is ultimately a story of our enduring human need for dignity and hope. Autorid: Anand Gopal

A spellbinding cozy fantasy adventure that will make you believe in second chances. Complete with dragons. And cats. And dragon-cats. Katherine and Imogene are done with their criminal past-honestly. They've traded in their outlaw lifestyle for seaside views, knitting projects (strictly non-magical), and only the occasional pub brawl (entirely accidental). But when an old friend begs them for help, they're back in the game. Their last heist-the one they botched all those years ago-needs finishing. And fast. Saint Percival's is in danger. The convent is sinking into the ground, and the dragons and nuns have been swindled out of their land by a ruthless real estate mogul. It's up to Katherine and Imogene to set things right, armed with enchanted needles and the power to knit a magical map straight to the villain's lair. The mission? To go back to where it all ended, outwit their enemy and save Saint Percival's. Except this time, they have the help of their beloved otherworldly cats and dragons. And the same charming rival who blew up their plans the first time round with just a wink... What could possibly go wrong? This delightful cosy, heist-y fantasy about friendships new and old is perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree. Readers love Meg Pennerson's writing: 'This is cozy fantasy done right!
