OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD! NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER "I loved it." -Stephen King From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets. Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman's lifeless body. Then, Teddy's artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force. Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it's too late.

'A brilliant book... essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how Guardiola has transformed and dominated modern football ' JAMIE CARRAGHER 'An intelligent and provocative book about one of the most fascinating and confounding figures in all of sport' FINANCIAL TIMES A spectre is haunting European football. Watch almost any game, no matter the level, and you will notice it. From inverted full backs to extreme high lines, the tactical threads of the match will eventually converge onto a singular point: Pep Guardiola. For some though, his near total dominance has come at the cost of the game itself, with modern football's protagonists caught between acknowledging Guardiola's greatness and wanting to evolve the sport beyond him. In The Spectre of Pep, acclaimed tactics writer Jon Mackenzie explores this contradiction. But this is much more than the story of just one man. After tracing Guardiola's ascendancy, displacing giants like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, it examines how other elite coaches have fought to establish their own legacies within this landscape - including the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Roberto De Zerbi, Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta. And with his time at Manchester City coming to an end - in a world where his influence is arguably diminishing - it also speculates on what the next generation of tactics may look like, and how Guardiola's legacy will be viewed in the future. If you want to understand football today, you have to understand the tactical spectre of Pep Guardiola. To do that, you need this book.

The history of a demonic tradition that was stolen from women - and then won back again. Creatures like Lilith, the seductive first wife of Adam, and mermaids, who lured sailors to their death, are familiar figures in the genre of monstrous temptresses who use their charms to entice men to their doom. But if we go back 4,000 years, the roots of these demons lie in horrific creatures like Lamashtu, a lion-headed Mesopotamian demon who strangled infants and murdered pregnant women, and Gello, a virgin ghost of ancient Greece who killed expectant mothers and babies out of jealousy. Far from enticing men into danger and destruction, these monsters were part of women's ritual practices surrounding childbirth and pregnancy. So how did their mythology evolve into one focused on the seduction of men? Sarah Clegg takes us on an absorbing and witty journey from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day, encountering a multitude of serpentine succubi, a child-eating wolf-monster of ancient Greece, the Queen of Sheba and a host of vampires. Clegg shows how these demons were appropriated by male-centred societies, before they were eventually recast as symbols of women's liberation, offering new insights into attitudes towards womanhood, sexuality and women's rights. '[A] remarkable work... Extraordinary, meticulous detail' Literary Review

Does it make you a better parent if you have pioneered scientific theories of child development? In a unique study, David Cohen compares what great psychologists have said about raising children and the way they did it themselves. Did the experts practice what they preached? Using an eclectic variety of sources, from letters, diaries, autobiographies, biographies, as well as material from interviews, each chapter focuses on a key figure in historical context. There are many surprises. Was Piaget, the greatest child psychologist of the 20th century, the only man to try to psychoanalyse his mother? How many sons of great gurus have had to rescue their father from a police station as R.D Laing's son did? And why did Melanie Klein's daughter wear red shoes they day her mother died? The book covers early scientists such as Darwin, psychoanalysists such as Freud and Jung, to founders of developmental psychology including Piaget and Bowlby as well as Dr Spock. It gives a vivid, dramatic and often entertaining insight into the family lives of these great psychologists. It highlights their ideas and theories alongside their behaviour as parents, and reveals the impact of their parenting on their children. Close bonds, fraught relationships and family drama are described against a backdrop of scientific development as the discipline of psychology evolves. Great Psychologists as Parents will be absorbing reading for students in childhood studies, education and psychology and practitioners in psychology and psychoanalysis. It will also interest general readers looking for a parenting book with a difference.

It's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but it's everything but that for Anna Lopez. Not only have her parents disowned her, completely cutting her off, but her landlord is hiking her rent at the beginning of the year. With the New Year around the corner and her being on winter break, she has a few weeks to figure out a new game plan. Wishing for a Christmas miracle seems hard but not impossible, and she's willing to do anything to make it happen. Until it happens in the form of a six-foot-four hockey player, who she doesn't have fond memories of. King's Yard University hockey star Sylas Lenoir Alves has everything anyone could wish for. However, there is one thing he's not content with and wishes he could end: the need his mom has to pair him with a girl he has no interest in dating or ever marrying. Feeling overwhelmed with her insistence, he's wishing for a miracle. Luckily for him, he quickly finds the answers to his problem, but it happens to be the girl who couldn't care less who he is. While Anna wants nothing to do with the arrogant player, she can't help but cave when he proposes something that would benefit both of them. Soon, they find themselves tangled in a lie, but that lie evolves into something neither one of them expected. Like how much they enjoy being in each other's company or how hard they're falling for each other.

In its journey from the margins to the mainstream, corporate social responsibility has become a significant part of the business agenda. Whilst society has always held expectations of business that go beyond maximising profits, the backdrop against which businesses now operate - characterised by financial crisis, climate change, political shifts, and population growth - has seen CSR become increasingly central to the ability of businesses to address global concerns. How businesses manage the requirements of the 2016 Paris Agreement, implications of the growing 'gig economy', and the increasing importance of a CSR brand are just some of the contemporary issues explored in this fourth edition. The engaging, accessible style supports a critical perspective, while a forward-thinking outlook encourages you to consider how the interactions of business and society will continue to evolve. How emerging business models, such as Uber, are governed; why Pakistan's football manufacturing industry takes an interest in its workers' sexual health; and what it takes to establish the Global Business Coalition for Women's Economic Empowerment are just some of the new case studies that illustrate the book's global reach. With more cases and examples than any other CSR textbook, initiatives as well as failures are explored in real businesses contexts, bringing the book's comprehensive coverage to life. This book is supported by online resources. For students: Additional case study sources - useful links for where to source further case studies and examples. Further reading - a comprehensive list of research to aid research. Suggested films - a list of films that illustrate issues relevant to CSR managers. Sources on regulations and governance - links to important legislation and guidelines affecting CSR Web exercises - links to relevant websites direct you to valuable sources of information. Journal club - links to seminal journal articles along with commentary on the paper, critical questions, and key points to consider. For lecturers: Figures and tables from the book - for use in lectures and seminars.

The Metamorphosis: Bilingual Edition (German and English) Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. Originally written in German, this novella tells the surreal story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who mysteriously transforms into a gigantic insect. This seemingly absurd premise evolves into a profound exploration of alienation, identity, and human isolation. The text delves into themes of existential anxiety and the marginalization faced by individuals who do not conform to societal norms. Kafka's work is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1915, speaking to contemporary readers through its exploration of identity and the human condition. This bilingual edition, featuring the original German alongside an English translation, offers readers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with Kafka's iconic prose while enhancing their language skills. It is an ideal resource for language learners, literature enthusiasts, and those interested in deep comparative reading, allowing them to appreciate the nuances of Kafka's expression and the translator's interpretation. About the Author Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a pivotal figure in world literature, renowned for his unique narrative style and complex exploration of the human psyche. Though Kafka published only a few works during his lifetime, his posthumously released novels and stories have left a lasting imprint on the landscape of modern fiction. His profound and often unsettling narratives continue to influence writers and thinkers worldwide. About Möwenstein Books Möwenstein Books is dedicated to producing high-quality bilingual editions of classic literature. Our mission is to foster cross-cultural appreciation and understanding by creating accessible formats for readers to explore literary works in their original and translated languages.

Bloomsbury presents The Modern Maverick written and read by Ed Haddon.Imagine designing a race that only you could win. Now imagine that race was your life. You're done with living by other people's rules. It's time to define your own version of success and set free your inner maverick.Success is something that many of us are encouraged to pursue from a young age – but what defines 'success'? Many people are taught to set goals in pursuit of a generic definition of success that is dictated by society: chase money, pass exams, build profile, attract followers, or generate likes. Even if we do reach the top of the mountain, we often find it to be less than we expected. Living someone else's life is draining; individuals are tired and society is poorer as a consequence.The Modern Maverick sets out a roadmap for a different way forward. A way that combines purpose and profit. A way that helps you figure out your own definition of success and gives you the courage and tools to pursue it. It moves beyond a general question around purpose, and instead focuses on identifying what you are truly passionate about, what you are uniquely good at, what you can get paid enough for – and how all of that dovetails with what the world needs.Using a distilled set of 'Maverick' principles, the books presents a clear 4D process to help you create the life you want:1. Discover – what are you uniquely able to do2. Dream – about what is possible for your life3. Do – create and put into action your Maverick plan4. Develop – ensure the plan evolves and deepensBy helping you find the best version of yourself, your work and your relationships, the book shows you how to build your inner Maverick. By becoming clearer and more intentional about how and where you spend your energy and focus, you can create a life where you have positive impact, autonomy, choice and time. A win for you, but – crucially – a win for those close to you, and, over time, a win for society at large.

LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • From the beloved, award-winning author of the modern classics Lost Children Archive and Tell Me How It Ends comes her most powerful and page-turning novel yet: the tale of a mother and a daughter starting over, searching for a new story. "A beautiful, maybe perfect, novel.” —Tommy Orange, author of Wandering Stars This story begins when a mother and her daughter take off on a trip. It is a summer of rapidly changing winds, volcanic rumbles, and sudden tempests. They’ve landed in Sicily, near the ancient ruins where the mother’s grandmother worked long ago on an archaeological dig. The narrator’s marriage has collapsed, her mother is losing her memory, and her daughter is on the threshold of adolescence, starting to ask difficult questions and form complex memories. How do you begin again? the narrator wonders, pondering her family line. How do you begin again if you got the beginning wrong? While the mother tries to figure out how to reconstruct their lives as a duo—cooking meals side by side, reading out loud to each other, playing chess, bickering and making up—her daughter takes the reins of the story, and their journey soon becomes a quest for origins, not just to the familial past across continents, languages, and generations, but also farther back, to a mythical and even geological past. Beginning Middle End evolves into a road novel of exquisite tenderness, spanning four generations of women. In their travels through Sicily, mother and daughter cross paths with the island’s migrants, storekeepers, and elders, and also its volcanoes, its winds, and its waters. Weaving myths, ancient philosophy, and natural history with fleeting moments of contemporary life, the unforgettable characters in this novel take us on a journey across time, and confront some of life’s primary questions: How do stories shape our children’s memories and imagination? How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family’s memories made and what happens when they disappear? Warm, funny, and poetic, this novel is an ode to imagination and possibility in dark times.

How do you begin again? the narrator wonders, pondering her family line. How do you begin again if you got the beginning wrong? While the mother tries to figure out how to reconstruct their lives as a duo—cooking meals side by side, reading out loud to each other, playing chess, bickering and making up—her daughter takes the reins of the story, and their journey soon becomes a quest for origins, not just to the familial past across continents, languages, and generations, but also farther back, to a mythical and even geological past. Beginning Middle End evolves into a road novel of exquisite tenderness, spanning four generations of women. In their travels through Sicily, mother and daughter cross paths with the island’s migrants, storekeepers, and elders, and also its volcanoes, its winds, and its waters. Weaving myths, ancient philosophy, and natural history with fleeting moments of contemporary life, the unforgettable characters in this novel take us on a journey across time, and confront some of life’s primary questions: How do stories shape our children’s memories and imagination? How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family’s memories made and what happens when they disappear? Warm, funny, and poetic, this novel is an ode to imagination and possibility in dark times.

Dom Casmurro is a timeless masterpiece of Brazilian literature that explores love, jealousy, memory, and the fragile nature of truth. Written by Machado de Assis, one of the greatest literary figures of the 19th century, this psychological novel invites readers into the introspective and unreliable mind of its narrator, Bento Santiago. The story unfolds as Bento, now an aging and solitary man, decides to recount his life in an attempt to "tie together the two ends" of his existence. Through his memories, we follow his childhood friendship and blossoming romance with the captivating and enigmatic Capitu. Their young love, filled with tenderness and promise, gradually evolves into marriage-but beneath the surface, doubt begins to grow. Bento becomes consumed by suspicion, questioning Capitu's fidelity and interpreting every glance, gesture, and coincidence as potential betrayal. What makes Dom Casmurro extraordinary is not simply its plot, but its masterful narrative voice. Machado de Assis crafts a narrator who is intelligent, ironic, and deeply human-yet profoundly biased. Readers are left to navigate the blurred line between reality and imagination, constantly questioning whether Bento's accusations are grounded in fact or shaped by his own insecurities and jealousy. This ambiguity transforms the novel into a compelling psychological puzzle that continues to spark debate more than a century after its publication. With subtle humor, sharp social commentary, and emotional depth, Dom Casmurro explores themes of obsession, pride, betrayal, and the power of memory. It is a story not only about love lost, but about how perception can distort truth and how suspicion can quietly dismantle even the strongest bonds. A cornerstone of Brazilian literature, Dom Casmurro remains a haunting and thought-provoking exploration of the human heart-one that challenges readers to decide for themselves what is real, what is imagined, and whether certainty is ever truly possible.

The Metamorphosis: Bilingual Edition (German and English) Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis is a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. Originally written in German, this novella tells the surreal story of Gregor Samsa, a young man who mysteriously transforms into a gigantic insect. This seemingly absurd premise evolves into a profound exploration of alienation, identity, and human isolation. The text delves into themes of existential anxiety and the marginalization faced by individuals who do not conform to societal norms. Kafka's work is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1915, speaking to contemporary readers through its exploration of identity and the human condition. This bilingual edition, featuring the original German alongside an English translation, offers readers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with Kafka's iconic prose while enhancing their language skills. It is an ideal resource for language learners, literature enthusiasts, and those interested in deep comparative reading, allowing them to appreciate the nuances of Kafka's expression and the translator's interpretation. About the Author Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a pivotal figure in world literature, renowned for his unique narrative style and complex exploration of the human psyche. Though Kafka published only a few works during his lifetime, his posthumously released novels and stories have left a lasting imprint on the landscape of modern fiction. His profound and often unsettling narratives continue to influence writers and thinkers worldwide.

The True Life of PT Barnum "The show business has all phases and grades of dignity, from the exhibition of a monkey to the exposition of that highest art in music or the drama, which entrances empires and secures for the gifted artist a world-wide fame which princes well might envy. Men, women and children, who cannot live on gravity alone, need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is in a business established by the Author of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission, and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. " PT Barnum From the Publisher The original autobiography of the World's Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum, now translated to modern English and illustrated with new images of his amazing ground-breaking acts. Phineas Taylor Barnum came from humble means to revolutionize the entertainment industry of his time and lay the foundation of the entertainment industry we know today. His visionary ability to create and market new and innovative acts transformed the world and moved society forward towards a new era of understanding and inclusiveness. His marketing skill and shrewd business skills transformed common and mundane acts into "must see" cultural events. Barnum skill as a showman included marketing such unique features as educated dogs, industrious fleas, automatons, jugglers, ventriloquists, living statuary, tableaux, gypsies, albinos, fat boys, giants, dwarfs, rope-dancers, live "Yankees," pantomime, instrumental music, singing and dancing in great variety, dioramas, panoramas, models of Niagara, Dublin, Paris, and Jerusalem; Hannington's dioramas of the Creation, the Deluge, Fairy Grotto, Storm at Sea; the first English Punch and Judy in this country, Italian Fantoceini, mechanical figures, fancy glass-blowing, knitting machines and other triumphs in the mechanical arts; dissolving views, American Indians, who enacted their warlike and religious ceremonies on the stage, — these, among others, entertained audiences by the tens of thousands and made Barnum a fortune and made his name synonymous with show business. But Barnum's genius was not limited to parlor tricks and freak shows, although this was a common criticism of his shows. His well-earned title of the World's Greatest Showman was earned by his ability to evolve his show and his techniques throughout his career. Originally, Barnum was able to transform men like Charles Sherwood Stratton, a dwarf who had been the subject of ridicule throughout his entire life, into famous characters such as "General Tom Thumb", a regal and authoritative figure who would stand before the Queen of England. Another illustration of Barnum's amazing showman abilities is perhaps best showcased in his signing of the "Swedish Nightingale" Jenny Lind, a favorite opera singer of the elite members of Victorian Era's society. Barnum signed Lind and included her in his tour, considerably raising the bar and perception of his performances. How amazing would it have been to see P.T. Barnum in his prime, to listen to him describe his inspirations and his journey, and to understand how almost two hundred years ago he began his path towards becoming the World's Greatest Showman. Now, thanks to the re-publication of this volume, complete with new illustrations, we can hear Barnum's story from his own pen directly in his own words. We hope you enjoy pulling up a chair and sitting down for a conversation with the World's Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum.

Permanent external representations in the form of drawings, maps, musical scores, figures, graphs, writing, numerals, hallmarks and signatures are part of our daily landscape and permeate most social activities almost from the moment we are born. This book is about humans' appropriation, understanding and use of external representations. The authors, all established researchers, present first hand research in the domain of notational knowledge. They reflect on the peculiar features and representational mechanisms of notational systems based on cultural conventions such as musical notation, graphs, writing, numerals and mathematical notation as well as on unique notations that children create in new situations. There are two chapter clusters in the book. The first cluster considers these systems from a historical perspective. Authors focus on the characteristics of these systems in different cultures and at different times and analyze the ways in which notation systems evolve and transform our social interactions, our ideas about language and about other domains of knowledge. The second cluster of chapters takes a developmental perspective. In these chapters the authors focus on the individual appropriation of these systems and highlight the interest for studying permanent external representation as a domain of human development. In particular, authors explore the ways in which notation systems are acquired, the extent to which children are sensitive to their distinguishing constraints and to the particular contents they come to represent and question the future of notations. Both the historical and the developmental perspectives are crucial for understanding the relations between culture and cognition. We can learn about the human mind through analyzing the social processes of invention and transformations of cultural artifacts and also through the individual and social process of appropriation of the cultural artifacts already created. A common theme in the book is that permanent external representations are not just instruments for expressing given information or tools for communication, they are objects to think with. They not only keep record of existing knowledge but are themselves instrumental in the creation of new knowledge. There are conceptual, linguistic and esthetic distinctions that may be unattainable without notational means. The book will be useful for students of psychology, philosophy, linguistics and education and for every one interested in understanding ways in which knowledge is generated, recorded and scrutinized. Although there are other volumes on writing, literacy, and numeracy, and some chapters are available in other volumes on the history of writing, mathematics or musical notation, the present proposal is unique and timely for the range of notational systems it embraces, for including both an historical and a developmental perspective and for the number of theoretical frameworks it discusses.
