Still raw from the murder of his wife and daughter, and the events surrounding the capture of their killer, The Travelling Man, Charlie Parker retreats to the wintry Maine landscape of his childhood. By following in the steps of his beloved grandfather, Parker hopes to heal his spirit and get through the bitter first anniversary. But the echoes of the past that await him are not all benign. In a gruesome re-enactment of Parker's own nightmares, another young woman is killed with her child and his brief involvement in their lives impels Parker to hunt their vicious murderer. As the death toll mounts, Parker comes to realise that the true answer to the puzzle lies thirty years in the past, in a tree with strange fruit, in his own grandfather's history, and in the perverted desires of a monster incarnate - Caleb Kyle. From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes a mesmerising and chilling thriller described as 'classic American detective fiction . . . and of a very high order' by Bernard Cornwell. The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. Dark Hollow is the second book in this globally bestselling series. Autorid: John Connolly

Eesti majanduselu on alati otseselt sõltunud poliitilistest jõujoontest. Mõjukate suurriikide koosseisu kuulumine ning oma riigi loomine ja taasloomine on kaasa toonud nii ettevõtete sündi ja kasvu kui ka kahanemist ja hääbumist. Samas on just väiksus ja piiratud loodusressursid ning geograafilisest asendist tulenevad poliitilised tõmbetuuled sundinud siinseid ettevõtjaid mobiilsemalt tegutsema ja muutustega kiiremini kohanema. Käesolev raamat ei anna kronoloogiale tuginevat tervikülevaadet meie tööstuse Ameerika mägesid meenutavast ajaloost, vaid kirjeldab paljude eri aegadel tegutsenud ettevõtete sünni ja arenguprotsesse, aga ka pankrotte ja hääbumist. Kokku joonistub pilt nii Eesti väikestest ja suurtest edulugudest kui ka kaotustest, valearvestustest ja läbikukkumistest. Mitmed lähenemisnurgad annavad käsitlusele veidi mängulisema tooni ning võimaldavad ka spetsiifilisemaid teemasid avada lihtsasti mõistetaval ja köitval moel. Päris kõik tööstusharud ei mahtunud raamatu kaante vahele kahjuks ära, kuid suurem osa Eesti ajaloos olulist rolli mänginud ettevõtetest ja -võtjatest on ühel või teisel viisil siin oma koha siiski leidnud. Arvukatel illustreerivatel fotodel paljastuv kirev tootepillerkaar tõestab aga veenvalt, et ei pingutatud asjatult. Raamatu ilmumist on toetanud Eesti Kultuurkapital. Autorid: Anne Ruussaar
Written in 1440 by the great theologian and philosopher Nicholas of Cusa, De Docta Ignorantia (Of Learned Ignorance) stands as one of the most unique and influential works of medieval theology. Nicholas stands in stark contrast to his Thomist and Scotist contemporaries, and the crux of this work is his rejection of their penchant for converting mysteries to "problems," problems to which reason can be applied to find a solution. In opposition, he posits that the finite human mind cannot possibly conceive of the inherently infinite divine reality, but through awareness of the limitations of our intellect we can gain the "learned ignorance" that constitutes the title of this work. Although widely read during his time, Nicholas of Cusa's works remained relatively unread until the nineteenth century. Since then, he has been recognized as a unique bridge between medieval and renaissance philosophy, as well as a powerful theologian and spiritual thinker in his own right.

Fully-illustrated, The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, art and reportage from around the world.IN THIS VOLUME: Underground Tenochtitlan by Guadalupe Nettel • Crime and (No) Punishment by Juan Villoro • The Birth of Fridolatry by Valeria Luiselli • plus: the cocaine that washes in from the sea and the pearl of the west, the jungle train and the last stop on the line, femicide and TikTok politics, mole, rice, the Virgin of Guadalupe and much more ...Once synonymous with escape and freedom, Mexico is now more frequently described as a place plagued by widespread violence, drug trafficking, endemic corruption, and uncontrolled migration. Under the patina of a tourist paradise—with its beaches, its ancient ruins, its tequila—lies a complex, dynamic country trying to carve out a place for itself in the shadow of its powerful neighbor.The most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world, Mexico is also home to 89 indigenous peoples and languages: one of the many contradictory legacies of the country’s colonial past, which still permeates its politics, society, religion, food, and culture. With a fifth of the population identifying as indigenous, the issue of rediscovering and revaluing the country’s pre-Columbian roots is at the center of the public debate. The controversial Mayan train project, which would connect Mexico’s Caribbean resorts with the South’s archaeological sites, crossing (and endangering) communities and forests, is a perfect example of the opposition between the two souls of the country.The attempts to resolve this contradiction, or better still to learn to live with it, will define the Mexico of the future. Only by recognizing equal status to ethnic and linguistic minorities will the country be able to reconcile its fractured identity.

Intergenerational Equity as a Constitutional ChallengeThe international debate on the rights of future generations has gained momentum as courts increasingly recognise the relevance of intergenerational equity in the interpretation and application of fundamental rights. Against this backdrop, this book analyses the relationship between fundamental rights and intergenerational equity in Austrian constitutional law, with climate change as a paradigmatic intergenerational problem.The analysis explores the realisation of intergenerational equity de lege lata and identifies structural weaknesses of existing objective legal obligations for the protection of future generations. It develops a rights-based approach and argues that fundamental rights could be mobilised more systematically to address intergenerational challenges.At its core, the book analyses the theoretical and practical feasibility of recognising fundamental rights of future generations de lege ferenda. Drawing on the prevailing doctrinal understanding of subjective rights, it discusses key objections to rights of future generations and addresses associated practical questions, including the scope of protection, intertemporal conflicts of rights, the legal handling of uncertainty, and the representation of future generations in the present.

Challenging the Myth of Self-Made SuccessApology of a Loser is an essay that critically explores the dynamics of success and failure in contemporary society. It questions a culture obsessed with individual achievement and challenges the widespread belief that personal will is the primary driver of success. Divided into three sections, this essay first examines how the concept of success is shaped by historical and social forces, especially the neoliberal ideology that links achievement solely to merit, ignoring the crucial roles of socio-economic background, chance, and privilege. The second section dismantles the myth of meritocracy, showing--through historical cases and sociological research--how success often depends on external, unpredictable factors. It critiques the circular logic that equates success with talent and highlights the cumulative advantages that widen social inequalities, even among equally capable individuals. In its final section, the essay proposes a cultural shift: learning to fail. It redefines failure not as personal defeat but as a meaningful part of life, essential for growth and self-awareness. By rejecting the toxic pursuit of success at all costs, Apology of a Loser offers a more balanced, human, and sustainable vision of personal fulfillment. Autorid: Davide Fadda
