A Real Right to Vote
Why it’s time to enshrine the right to vote in the ConstitutionThroughout history, too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to voting. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress’s ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. Drawing on troubling stories of state attempts to disenfranchise military voters, women, African Americans, students, former felons, Native Americans, and others, Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted. He shows how a constitutional right to vote can deescalate voting wars between political parties that lead to endless rounds of litigation and undermine voter confidence in elections, and can safeguard democracy against dangerous attempts at election subversion like the one we witnessed in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The path to a constitutional amendment is undoubtedly hard, especially in these polarized times. A Real Right to Vote explains what’s in it for conservatives who have resisted voting reform and reveals how the pursuit of an amendment can yield tangible dividends for democracy long before ratification.

Saab 9-3
The story of the Saab 9-3 is full of twists and turns, from its origins before the 9-3 name even existed to its unexpected rebirth as an electric vehicle decades later. Bizarrely, the first-generation 9-3 was in essence the same car as the Saab 900 built between 1994 and 1998. Equally as bizarre, the second-generation 9-3 lived on well beyond the General Motors era, reappearing in 2013-14 and again from 2019 to 2022. In these later years its familiar Gen2 silhouette concealed an all-electric powertrain, now wearing the badge of new owner NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden) in place of the hallowed Saab Griffin. From 1998 to 2011, the Saab 9-3 was manufactured at the Trollhattan factory in Sweden, carrying the brand's distinctive character into a new era. This book charts the 9-3's evolution under General Motors' stewardship, from the outgoing Saab 900 to the fundamentally similar first-generation 9-3, and on to the redesigned Gen2 model of 2002, this new model being built on GM's Epsilon platform and featuring far more GM-supplied componentry. The Gen1 9-3 came in three guises: four-door Saloon (sedan), two-door Cabriolet convertible and five-door Hatchback. Its Gen2 successor offered Saloon, Cabriolet and SportCombi estate car formats, powered by engines ranging from the 2.0-litre petrol Turbo and 1.9 TiD diesel to the 2.6-litre petrol V6 and the 1.9 TTiD twin-turbo diesel. Stunningly illustrated with over 250 images - many previously unseen - Saab 9-3 includes specially commissioned photography of the high-performance Viggen model, factory archive images, an interview with heroic rallycross legend Per Eklund and a Foreword by Saab insider and photojournalist Kenneth Olausson. It recounts Saab's final decade as a car manufacturer through the development of the 9-3 until its abandonment in 2011 by General Motors, and its brief rebirth as an electric vehicle under NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden), which lingered intermittently until 2022.

Terror at the Gates - Blood of Lilith 1
The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.
Banished by the church and betrayed by blood, Lilith makes a life in Nineveh, a neon-lit district where urban fantasy meets noir seduction. When a relic of unimaginable power finds her, it awakens enemies, a lover, and a terrifying prophecy she was born to fulfill.
She is the beginning and the end.
She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat-to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

Ubavit se k smrti
Postman ve své slavné knize tvrdí, že každá civilizace má své dominantní médium, které určuje, na co daná civilizace soustředí pozornost, což autor označuje výrazem „médium je metafora“. Autorova kniha vyšla v USA v osmdesátých letech minulého století, kdy dominovala televize, jeho kniha tedy pojednává především o vlivu tohoto média.
V televizi (ale platí to dodnes) je kladen výraz na vizuální stránku, zábavnost, senzačnost, emoce. Zprávy nemají v první řadě informovat, nýbrž být zajímavé. Divák nad nimi nestíhá přemýšlet, protože televize chrlí jednu zprávu za druhou. To ovlivňuje i způsob, jakým se prezentují politici nebo představitelé církví a jakým se učí na školách. Lidé nevolí politiky podle jejich politické vize, ale spíše podle vzhledu a zábavnosti. Žijeme ve „světě kukátka“, kde je informací mnoho, ale nedávají smysl. Být inteligentní znamená spíše vědět o ledasčem, a nikoli to skutečně znát. Z vážných věcí se stává show a z občanů pasivní konzumenti, kteří se smějí, aniž by vlastně věděli čemu. Autor vybízí, abychom kvůli vizuálním médiím neslevovali z intelektuálních potřeb a vážnosti, jež jsou podle něj typické pro kulturu tištěných médií.
Immortal Legend Batman
The story centres on three inheritors of this ancient legacy: Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Tim Drake each embodying and mastering individual cosmic energies in a battle to uphold justice across space and time. The iconic identities of the Bat-Family Robin, Nightwing, and Batman are not just names, but represent powerful, elemental forces from across the galaxy. These powers, known as 'ways,' have been passed down through generations of warriors. Many, many centuries from now, humanity has become a galactic civilization, with capital megacities on half a dozen planets, and smaller outposts on dozens more. But this expansion came at a cost. To conquer the vast distances between solar systems, humanity tapped into dark matter to bend space-time around ships. This completely transformed the fate of our species. But in order to access the power of dark matter, humanity inadvertently broke the barrier between our universe and our universe s shadow.

The Muqaddimah
Volume three of the classic Islamic history of the world, now available to a new generation of readers in a fully unabridged editionWritten by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun, The Muqaddimah, or “Introduction,” is the earliest critical study of history. Though intended as the preface and first book of a world history, it is a wholly self-contained work, one that laid the foundations for fields of knowledge ranging from the philosophy of history to sociology and ethnography and has influenced writers such as Frank Herbert, Bruce Chatwin, and Naguib Mahfouz. A three-volume English translation by the eminent Islamicist Franz Rosenthal was first published in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series, garnering immediate international acclaim. A one-volume abridged version followed in 1969. Now the complete unabridged edition of Rosenthal’s masterful translation is available again in three beautiful volumes, reintroducing this monumental study of history to twenty-first century audiences.
