Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.’

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it’s the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort is on the run – and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry’s tea leaves … But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking Kiss …

This gift edition hardback, presented in a beautiful foiled slipcase decorated with brand new line art by Jonny Duddle, will delight readers as the plot thickens and the dangers multiply in Harry’s third year at Hogwarts.

Chocolate Mousse for Greedy Goose

Learning good table manners has never been this much fun!

“Chocolate mousse!” says greedy Goose. “Don’t just grab it,” says angry Rabbit.

Good manners are not on the menu at this meal. Duck won’t eat his carrots. Moth’s eating the cloth, and Sheep would rather sleep than wash the dishes. Thank goodness some of the animals know how to behave. Children’s favorite foods and animals are combined in delicious rhyming phrases, making this story of the funniest dinner party ever perfect to read aloud.

How to succeed by seeing yourself clearly

Research shows that self-awareness is the meta-skill of the 21st century – the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. Unfortunately, we are remarkably poor judges of ourselves and how we come across, and it’s rare to get candid, objective feedback from colleagues, employees, and even friends and family. We can ALL learn to be more self-aware.

Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, organizational psychologist Dr Tasha Eurich shatters conventional assumptions about what it takes to truly know ourselves – like why introspection isn’t a bullet train to insight, how experience is the enemy of self-knowledge, and just how far others will go to avoid telling us the truth about ourselves. Through stories of people who’ve made dramatic self-awareness gains, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help readers do the same – and therefore improve their work performance, career satisfaction, leadership potential, relationships, and more.

At a time when self-awareness matters more than ever, Insight is the essential playbook for surviving and thriving in an unaware world.

How To Know God

an exploration of the seven ways we experience God. These are shaped, not by any one religion, but by an instinct that is hardwired into the brain. In this remarkable book, Chopra takes us step by step from the first stage, where the brain’s ‘fight or flight’ response leads us to a God who is an all-powerful and sometimes unpredictable parent, to the seventh stage, where the brain experiences God as pure being, beyond thought, a sacred presence. It is at this seventh stage that we attain a true, life-changing spiritual understanding of the world and our place in it; it is the level at which saints and sages dwell. All seven stages are available to each of us, all the time. Deepak Chopra explores mysticism, religious ecstasy, genius, telepathy, multiple personality and clairvoyance, drawing insights from psychology, neurology and physics, as well as from the great religions. The result is vintage Chopra applied to the ultimate quest

خان العقول

في نهايات عام 2017 ازداد حديث العالم عن ثورة صناعية جديدة ستغيِّر وجه الكرة الأرضية، لن يكون للإنسان فيها دورٌ كبير، ومهام الحياة ستتولاها تقنيات فائقة الذكاء، تُنجز الأعمال بالتعلم الذاتي دون تدخُّل مِن البشر.

 توقعوا أن الحياة ستكون أسهل ممَّا كانت عليه، وستخف ضغوط العمل والتفكير التي أَرهَقتِ البشر عبْر السنين، وزادت عليهم أمراض العصر المزمِنة.

 وبين متفائل بهذا التغيير ومتشائم منه، تدور أحداث هذه الرواية التي كُتِبَتْ في عام 2019 لتحكي عن مجموعة مِن الشباب والشابَّات وجدوا أنفسهم في ظروف اجتماعية جعلتْهم منعزلين عن المجتمع، وعندما أرادوا العودة لواقعهم وجدوا أنفسهم في المستقبل يرسمون حياة الناس مِن حولهم، عندها يكتشفون أن في فم كل واحد منهم مِلعقة ذكية بإمكانها أن تعْبر بهم إلى أبعد مِن الخيال.

صافحني بقلبك أولا

هذا الكتاب سَيَلفُّ عقلك كما تلفُّ الزوابع الفضاء، ولقد خُلِق الإنسان ليسافر بروحه وعقله عبر الكون الفسيح، لا ليبقى على حالته المادِّيَّة، ستمشي مِن خلاله في أروقة بيت الحكمه في بغداد، وستجلس في مقاهي تضجُّ بالمثقَّفين، وحتمًا ستسافر لكبد السماء.

اعترافات غير قابلة للغفران

الغُرْبةُ هُنا تمْتصُّ أحْلى ما فيكَ، تأخذُ منْكَ نَسْغَكَ وشغفَكَ بالحياة، أحْلامَكَ وأجملَ سنواتِ عُمْرِك، تأخذُ شيْئًا مِنْ ملامِحِكَ وتُعطيكَ وجْهًا جديدًا ربّما لا يُشْبِهُكَ، تجْعلُ منكَ إنسانًا آليًّا مُبرْمَجًا على الرّكضِ ليْلَ نهار كي تعيشَ بيْن قَوْسَي الحياة (….) .

في الغُربةِ هُنا تحْيا وحيْدًا مهْما كانَ عددُ أصْدقائِكَ أو أقارِبِك، مهْما كنْتَ مُحاطًا بِجمْهورٍ مِنْ مُدّعي الحُبِّ والمَحبَّة، فلا أحدَّ هنا مُهتمٌّ بِمشكِلاتِكَ، ولا يشْعرُ بِما يدور في داخِلِك.

الكلُّ مُنْهمِكٌ بشؤونِهِ الخاصّة، ويصمُّ أُذنَيْهِ عنْ صوْتِكَ حتّى وإنْ كنْتَ تُكلّمُهُ وجْهًا لِوجْه.

الغُرْبةُ هُنا أنْ تصْرخَ طلبًا للنّجْدةِ في لحْظةِ ضَعْفٍ، وتعْلمَ أنَّ ما منْ أحدٍ سَيُنْجِدُكَ سِوى نفْسِك، تسْعى دوْمًا لِرسْمِ ابْتسامتِكَ فوْقَ شفتَيْنِ مُنهكَتَيْنِ مِنَ الأنين، وترقُصُ فوْقَ جِراحٍ لا يعْلمُ بها سِواك، وتدَّعي الحياةَ كي تبْقى على قيدِ الحياة

سفاح في أروقة الماضي

الجريمة أصبحت واقعاً لا مفر منه.. هي الحرب التي تبدأ من شعلة، ثم يتطاير شرارها لتصبح حريقاً جباراً في قلب الإنسان، الذي أصبح جمراً بارداً، ثم رماداً. القوة والسلطة سمٌ يغتال أصحابه.
