Suurem osa lapsevanematest on laste kapriiside ja sõnakuulmatusega kokku puutunud: ei taha käsi pesta, ei taha magada, kardan arsti jne. Raamatusari "Printsess Imeline" aitab autoritaarseid meetodeid rakendamata leida väljapääsu paljudest konfliktiolukordadest ja õpetab väikelast ühiskonnas õigesti käituma. Raamatus pakutakse lapsele võimalust võrrelda vastandlikku käitumist ühes ja samas olukorras, stimuleerides last just peategelase positiivset käitumist eeskujuks võtma. Sest Imekaunid Printsessid käituvad hästi, aga mitte halvasti. Vaat siin on Sonja sõnakuulmatu ja ebaviisakas laps. Ta näitab möödakäijatele keelt, teeb lasteaias teistele lastele liiga, paneb bussis jalad istmele ja loobib pabereid põrandale.Kuid Sonja võib olla ka Printsess Imeline: ta on viisakas ja sõnakuulelik. Ta hoiab ust lahti, et kõik saaksid rahulikult läbi minna, tänab ema maitsva lõuna eest, aga bussis loovutab koha eakatele ja tänab siiralt kingituse eest isegi siis, kui see ei olnud see, millest ta unistas. Vanemad ja kasvataja on tüdruku viisakuse ja headuse üle uhked.Täiendavaks stiimuliks kasvatusprotsessis on selle raamatusarja lugemise ajal spetsiaalselt välja töötatud leheküljed lapsevanematele: südametega auhinnakaardid ja Printsess Imelise diplom, mida saab välja lõigata ja lapsele anda.

The year 2022 has been designated the Year of Romanticism in Poland. An even two hundred years have passed since the first publication of Adam Mickiewicz's Ballads and Romances - a collection of lyrics which has the same significance for Polish literature as Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads has for the English. Poems of love, the supernatural, and the exotic, Mickiewicz's first volume of poetry achieved a level of sublimity that immediately set him at the head of all Polish writers - a position he sustained throughout his life with his lyrical, narrative, dramatic, and epic poetry, and which he continues to hold today. In cooperation with the Polish Cultural Institute of London, Glagoslav brings out an anniversary edition of Mickiewicz's Ballads and Romances in the English translation of Charles S. Kraszewski. The collection includes all the poems of the 1822 edition, plus the ballads added shortly before the poet's death to the 1852, Leipzig edition.This publication is generously supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London.

The Natural: The Story of Patsy Houlihan, the Greatest Snooker Player You Never Saw is the compelling story of a man who potted balls fast and potted them hard. South Londoner Patsy Houlihan was one of the top amateurs of the 1950s and 60s as well as the greatest hustler of all time. He should have been a major player on the world stage, but the professional game was a closed shop and the likes of Patsy weren't welcome. However, in the smoke-filled snooker halls of the backstreets of working-class Britain, populated by tough men seeking to make a quick buck from the game they loved, Patsy was a folk hero and an inspiration to a generation of players, including his close friend Jimmy White. This is the story of the greatest snooker player who never reached the big time, but whose exploits, adventures and skills guaranteed him immortality in the minds and imaginations of those lucky enough to have seen him play. The Natural brings to life the story of a forgotten snooker pioneer and master entertainer. Autorid: Luke Williams

Georgian Folk Tales is a landmark collection of traditional narratives from Georgia, gathered and translated in the late 19th century by Marjory Scott Wardrop. Drawn from diverse regions such as Imereti, Mingrelia, and Guria, the stories range from magical adventures and moral fables to comedic parables and eerie encounters with devs (ogres), witches, and dragons. This beautifully presented 2025 edition revives Wardrop's pioneering work, with a fresh editorial treatment, a modern introduction, and evocative illustrations by Glagoslav Publications. These tales capture a unique cultural landscape where Eastern and Western influences intermingle: Persian demons, Christian saints, shapeshifting animals, and resourceful heroines share the stage. Some stories echo archetypes found across Europe - Cinderella, Bluebeard, and trickster foxes - yet retain a distinctly Georgian flair in their texture, tone, and narrative logic. Wardrop's work is more than translation; it is cultural preservation. She meticulously annotated her sources and preserved the stories' oral style, giving English-speaking readers rare access to the Georgian worldview and humour at a time when the region was largely unknown in the West. Her linguistic skill and anthropological insight shine through every page. For modern readers, Georgian Folk Tales is both an introduction to a rich storytelling tradition and a fascinating artefact of Victorian-era translation. Its themes - cunning over brute strength, fate and transformation, justice and wit - remain timeless, resonating across generations and borders. A must-have for lovers of folklore, comparative mythology, and Caucasian history.

In Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Cory Doctorow transports readers to a futuristic world where immortality is a reality, and life revolves around the pursuit of reputation. Set in a Disney-like theme park, the novel follows Julius, a man navigating a society obsessed with ""Whuffie"" a currency based on social capital. When Julius' beloved theme park is threatened by corporate takeovers and sinister plots, he must fight to protect both the park and his place in this hyper-competitive world. With its blend of science fiction, social commentary, and satire, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a thought-provoking exploration of technology, human behavior, and the future of society in a world where death has lost its power.

The summer of 1980. The Moscow Olympics. A small pioneer camp on the banks of the Volga. The pioneers fall out, make up, play tricks. Romances start up among the young leaders. The river bus brings in drums of milk and boxes of pasta. Life in the quirky gingerbread cake buildings of the camp establishes its rhythms against the backdrop of the Volga's ceaseless flow and the sunset's daily blush over the Zhiguli mountains. But something, or someone, is at work. Something that no one except twelve-year-old Valerka can see for what it is. When he confides in the young leader Igor, only to be disbelieved, Valerka finds himself carrying the burden of what he knows completely alone. Valerka resists the vampires on principle, while Igor finally joins forces with him only when what is happening touches him personally. Together, they brace themselves to do battle with a power they have no reason to believe they can withstand.Ivanov brings us a gallery of colourful characters: idealistic, dogged Valerka; seventeen-year-old Igor, groping to find himself and on the way finding his first love; the spiky and beautiful Veronika; the blithely self-absorbed Anastasiika; the drunken doctor who knows too much; the steadily-growing cast of bloodsuckers and their 'carcasses'. Through them, Ivanov gives us both a thriller and a book of subtlety and depth. Building steadily towards its enthralling climax, The Food Block crackles with delightful dialogue, exudes humour that does not make fun, and explores with apparently effortless insight the loves and energy, hopes and doubts, and fears and courage of childhood and youth.

Academic training often leaves students poorly prepared for what they actually encounter in the field, where bridging the distance to the general public in matters related to wildlife and the status of our planet can pose a real challenge. The increasing disconnect between nature and an often skeptical or misguided public means that many people have a poor understanding of how to behave in the great outdoors and take a bewildered or even confrontational stance against those dedicated to nature conservation and species protection. Managing nature has simply become increasingly synonymous with managing people.This primer equips practitioners – teachers, students, researchers, citizen scientists, park rangers and guides, zoo staffs, and volunteers – for what they can expect to hear while going about their business. It provides a set of concise answers to over 200 questions or assertions arranged in 20 headings covering major ecosystems and their inhabitants, natural history institutions, and various human perspectives and activities. You’ll never again be caught off guard, stumped, or flustered.A dash of humor and a twinkle in the eye maximizes the chances that those on the other side of the proverbial fence will shake your hand and urge you to keep up the good work. No team should gear up for work without a copy of this book.
