Book Description
Until I Become Home je skupnostna časopisna publikacija, ki se osredotoča na Balkansko begunsko pot in ljudi, ki jo poskušajo prečkati. Publikacija se z različnimi pisnimi in vizualnimi razmisleki osredotoča na pot, ki jo ljudje, ki bežijo pred vojno, konflikti, revščino ali preganjanjem opravijo, preden dosežejo svoje zatočišče v Evropski uniji. Življenja ljudi na Balkanski begunski poti, so pogosto potisnjena na obrobje in pogosto skrita v improviziranih taboriščih v gozdovih in zapuščenih stavbah. Vendar gozdovi vzdolž begunske poti ne skrivajo le beguncev temveč zakrivajo tudi institucionalizirano nasilje držav članic Evropske unije, ki uporabljajo brutalna sredstva in taktike, da bi ustavile migracije, hkrati pa vse bolj kriminalizirajo solidarnost lokalnega prebivalstva. Gosti gozdovi in globoke reke skrivajo tudi smrt mnogih, ki so se na poti izgubili, omagali, umrli od lakote in tistih, ki so na poti izgubili moč. Until I Become Home skozi izjave, poezijo, eseje, ustno zgodovino in vizualni arhiv poskuša odstirati pogled na zgodbe ljudi na poti, ki pogosto ostajajo izgubljena ali skrita.

Book Description
"In her twenties, Alexandra Heminsley spent more time drinking white wine than she did in pursuit of athletic excellence. When she decided to take up running in her thirties, she had high hopes for a blissful runner's high and immediate physical transformation. After eating three slices of toast with honey and spending ninety minutes on iTunes creating the perfect playlist, she hit the streets--and failed miserably. The stories of her first runs turn the common notion that we are all "born to run" on its head--and exposes the truth about starting to run: it can be brutal. Running Like a Girl tells the story of getting beyond the brutal part, how Alexandra makes running a part of her life, and reaps the rewards: not just the obvious things, like weight loss, health, and glowing skin, but self-confidence and immeasurable daily pleasure, along with a new closeness to her father--a marathon runner--and her brother, with whom she ultimately runs her first marathon"--

Book Description
'Harriet Said is a highly plotted horror tale that turns the "Obstinate Questionings" of puberty into deadly weapons' NEW YORK TIMES 'An extremely original and disconcerting story' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A sharp, chilling novel . . . The ending has real shock effect' SUNDAY TIMES A girl returns from boarding school to her sleepy Merseyside hometown and waits to be reunited with her childhood friend, Harriet, chief architect of all their past mischief. She roams listlessly along the shoreline and the woods still pitted with wartime trenches and encounters 'the Tsar' - almost old, unhappily married, both dangerously fascinating and repulsive. Pretty, malevolent Harriet finally arrives - and over the course of the long holidays draws her friend into a scheme to beguile then humiliate the Tsar, with disastrous, shocking consequences. A gripping portrayal of adolescent transgression, Beryl Bainbridge's classic first novel remains as subversive today as when it was written.

Book Description
Over 35 million people will go running this year in the United States alone. For some of us, it's more than just a hobby-over 11 million of us are runaholics. Runners and addicts. Addicts and runners. The two hardly seem to go together . . . unless you're one of those people who periodically put a couple of miles on your running shoes and then think things like, Boy, this feels good. I could go all day long. Then you do. Or at least try to. Running and addiction--as in running addiction--do indeed go together like chocolate and peanut butter, as Wired to Run makes so perfectly clear. Written by Scoop Skupien, a habitual runner for the past 30 years and the founder of Runaholics Anonymous, Wired to Run is a humorous trip through the world of runaholics and a host of issues that the running obsessed can't quite leave in their dust. It's a good-natured satire of healing groups that will keep readers--whether they're runners or run enablers--laughing page after breathless page. Central to the book and the whole online Runaholics Anonymous organization is Skupien's 12-Step program for recognizing and dealing with this mental and very physical disorder. From We admit that we are powerless over running to We reach the Pinnacle: the ability to run in moderation, the self-help style mixes laughs with actual training tips and other helpful advice. The combination-along with hilarious analysis of six different running types that encompass just about anyone who's ever broken a sweat--pokes great fun at runners, their odd habits, and their running rituals. It's definitely fun on the run!
