And a further shocking discovery causes the whole file to be handed over to Greater Manchester Police''s Counter Terrorism Unit.Detective Constable Iona Khan - still struggling for acceptance in the male-dominated CTU - little realises that, because of her close resemblance to the girl who leapt from the bridge, she is now in the sights of a sinister figure.

Baba Yaga is an old hag who lives in a house built on chicken legs and kidnaps small children. She is one of the most pervasive and powerful creatures in all mythology. She appears in many forms: as Pupa, a tricksy, cantankerous old woman who keeps her legs tucked into a huge furry boot; as a trio of mischievous elderly women who embark on the trip of a lifetime to a hotel spa; and as a villainous flock of ravens, black hens and magpies infected with the H5N1 virus. But what story does Baba Yaga have to tell us today? This is a quizzical tale about one of the most pervasive and powerful creatures in all mythology, and an extraordinary yarn of identity, secrets, storytelling and love.

Hark - Alice Vincent - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

AN INDEPENDENT ''BEST BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2025'' We''re told women are good at listening, but we rarely examine what they''re listening to, what their worlds sound like, or how it feels to be expected to listen in a world of noise made by men.Like so many of us, Alice Vincent had become overwhelmed by the sensory overload punctuating our every moment. And then, a baby''s heartbeat arrived. A rapid, pulsing whoosh of white noise. An undeniable rhythm. Once again, Alice''s life became cacophonous - both with a new child, but also with the societal pressures that motherhood holds. What followed was a personal quest to rediscover sound as something alive and vital and restorative. Beyond music, Alice''s journey takes her into new corners of listening: from the phantom crying heard by mothers across the world to the nightingale''s song and the crackle of the Aurora Borealis . As our attention spans shrink and our sense of disconnection grows, Alice wants to find out if sound - seeking it, trying to hold on to it, making space for it in her life - can reconnect her not only to lost parts of herself but to a life more consciously lived. Hark is a book for women who feel unheard and a means of listening more deeply in a world that has grown too loud.

LONGLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PROSE PRIZE 2025 WINNER OF THE RSL GILES ST AUBYN AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 2022 ''A wonderful book about the deep backstories and the tangled histories of N. S. Nuseibeh''s own multiple identit[ies]'' MARK HADDON ''Explores vulnerability, fragility, anxiety, and ambivalence as ways of beautifully coming to terms with the wounds and worries of the world'' HOMI K. BHABHA * I may not be brave enough, but somewhere deep inside of me there is, perhaps, the kernel of someone who is. That brave someone was the legendary Nusayba bint Ka''ab al Khazrajia, who fought alongside the Prophet Muhammad at the dawn of Islam, the author N.S Nuseibeh''s ancestor. In drawing on Nusayba''s stories, Nuseibeh delves into the experience of being an Arab woman today and in the distant past - taking her from superheroes and the glorification of violence to the rise of Arab feminism, to what courage looks like in the context of interminable conflict. By seeking to understand her namesake in the context of her own twenty-first century concerns, Nuseibeh links our current ideas of Muslims and Arabs with their origins, exploring myth-making and identity, religion and nationhood, feminism and race.As intimate as they are thoughtful, these linked essays offer a dazzling exploration of heritage, gender and the idea of home, while also showing how connecting with our history can help us understand ourselves and others today.

A NEW SCIENTIST BEST POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK FOR 2025 ''A book that shows how we might evolve to solve the problems we have caused our planet. Brilliantly written, surprising, inspiring and, ultimately, hopeful'' ISABELLA TREE For nearly four billion years, life on Earth has found new ways to adapt, reproduce and thrive, taking on new forms to meet the environment of the moment. Human impact on the planet, and the potentially devastating threat of climate change, have stressed that adaptability as never before. Yet life still finds a way. Animals, plants and insects rise to the challenge and are still adapting, reproducing and thriving, even in our rapidly transforming environment. In their example we may just find ways that we too can adapt, ways to stop the destruction we''re causing to the planet.In Nature''s Genius David Farrier takes us on a profound journey into this ever-changing natural world. What we discover could transform us. The ways animals adjust to the urban landscape can help us design sustainable cities. Examining other intelligences can help us remake our economies. Learning from bacterial evolution may help solve our waste problem. Synthetic biology could rescue animals from the brink of extinction. Thinking in timescales of the natural world could help us choose a better future. Life on Earth is changing; the question is, can we change with it? Can we remake the world to be fit for all life to thrive once more?
