  We broke our new series on learning Hungarian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Hungarian. 
  In Unit 1 you will hear Hungarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Hungarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Hungarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Hungarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Hungarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  Will was pretty much the perfect role model.' - Beth Ditto, The Gossip
    
     
    
    
     
    In the spring of 2010, Toronto lost one of its most important queer civic heroes when local artist, DJ, activist, impresario, promoter, party-thrower, café operator, community-builder and lover Will Munro died of brain cancer at the unfathomably young age of 35. Famed for his subversive, irreverent visual art, which co-opted rock 'n' roll imagery and raunchy gay iconography, and his legendary Vazaleen dance parties, which singlehandedly reinvented Toronto's queer nightlife culture, Will did more to revolutionize both his community and his city in a decade than most folks do in a lifetime.
    
     
    
    
     
    Weaving together a collage of stories from and about the people who knew and loved him,  Army of Lovers  is both a biography of Will Munro and a document of a galvanizing period in the history of Toronto, a moment when the city's various subcultures - the queer community, the art scene, the independent musicuniverse, the grassroots activist enclaves - came of age and collided with one another.
    
     
    
    
     
    Selected by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Round Table (GLBTRT) of the American Library Association (ALA) for the 2014 Over the Rainbow Project book list

  Houston, we have a problem. The largest city in Texas has a wild west past filled with dodgy criminals and murderous madmen. 
   
   
    
  When the Allen brothers sold Houston's first lots, the city became a magnet for enterprising tycoons and opportunistic crooks alike. As the young city grew, a scourge of crime and vice accompanied the success of oil and real estate. The Bayou City's seedy side—flashing Bowie knives, privileged bad boys, hardened prostitutes, and unchecked serial killers—established its hold. From a young Clyde Barrow to the Man Who Killed Halloween, Houston's past is filled with bloody tales, heartbreaking loss, and despicable deeds. Authors Mike Vance and John Nova Lomax shine a light on these dark days.

  Who Will Defend Europe? - An...

  Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defense holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory 'peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defense industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the United States is distracted and divided. 
   
   
   
  In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West's unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin's ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the European Union or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasizes the need for new leadership in defense of the free world after the United States has stepped aside—and warns that the United Kingdom's brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered.

  The Secret Ingredients in Your...

  John Harpoon

  The food we consume each day often seems simple — bread, cereal, snacks, and beverages that fill grocery store shelves. Yet behind these seemingly ordinary products lies a hidden world of chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients that most consumers never notice. While food labels provide some insight, the reality is that many harmful substances are deliberately disguised with complex names or misleading descriptions. This secrecy has allowed big food companies to use potentially dangerous ingredients while marketing their products as safe, natural, or even healthy.  
    
  One major reason these additives are so widespread is their role in extending shelf life, enhancing flavor, and improving texture. Preservatives, for example, allow products to last for months or even years without spoiling. While this may seem convenient, some preservatives have been linked to serious health concerns such as hormonal disruption, digestive issues, and even increased cancer risks. Similarly, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) are designed to trigger cravings and increase consumption, yet they may also contribute to headaches, fatigue, and neurological problems.  
    
  Artificial sweeteners, another common additive, are often marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar. However, studies suggest that these substances may interfere with metabolism, increase the risk of obesity, and disrupt gut bacteria. Even seemingly harmless color additives — used to make processed foods appear vibrant and appealing — have been linked to behavioral changes in children and allergic reactions in some adults.
