The Sudans
The Sudans tells the story of the African Union's efforts to make peace in the Sudans during the years 2009 to 2013. It details the work of the AU High-Level Panel, led by former South African President Thabo Mbeki, to resolve the war in Darfur, promote democracy in Sudan, steer the independence of South Sudan, and make peace between Sudan and South Sudan. It was Africa's most ambitious peace-making effort. Meticulously documenting every step, Alex de Waal and Willow Berridge show how Mbeki's team handled disputes over borders, resources, and citizenship, and channeled fractious international actors into a consensus. They document the panel's consultative, people-focused strategy in Darfur and its patient, unflagging mediation between north and south. Ultimately, however, the leaders of Sudan and South Sudan squandered opportunities to establish two viable, mutually supporting states, setting both countries on the path toward calamity. Authoritative and clear-eyed, The Sudans pulls back the curtain on this pioneering effort, demonstrating the potential of African-led peacemaking.
Waylon University 4: To ti slibuju
Dillon McQueen: Kdy tě zase uvidím?
Serena Jensenová: Ehm, kdo jsi?
Na Waylonu se traduje jistá legenda: první dívka, kterou políbíš v prvním ročníku u táboráku, je ta, na kterou nikdy nezapomeneš. Zadře se ti pod kůži a probudí v tobě takovou vášeň, že bys pro ni udělal cokoli na světě.
Možná ji dokonce požádáš o ruku.
Ale… důležité je správné načasování. Ten polibek se může příšerně zvrtnout. Ta dívka může utéct. A Serena opravdu utekla.
Dillon je hvězdný quarterback Waylonu, který potřebuje dostudovat a dostat se do NFL. Co ale rozhodně nepotřebuje, je potkat dívku, kterou políbil u táboráku v prvním ročníku. Copak nestačí, že ho pronásleduje ve snech?
Osud se mu vysměje do očí, když na ni nečekaně narazí v obchodě. Obklopen svým dívčím harémem si ležérně nahází do košíku všechna balení sušenek Oreo, které ona miluje. Ona mu to oplatí a vykoupí poslední balení jeho oblíbeného piva.
Ta legenda je určitě prokletím. Ona není jeho typ, a navíc ho určitě nenávidí. Ba co hůř – jak je možné, že si na něj nevzpomíná, když mu před třemi lety vypálila do srdce cejch?
Proč o ni přes to všechno pořád usiluje?
Získá nový hvězdný quarterback vysněnou dívku, nebo udělá největší chybu svého života?

Ealing: A Potted History
For much of its history Ealing was a rural village in Middlesex, outside London. Improved communications encouraged first its development as a market garden for the capital and later as an attractive suburb in West London, nicknamed ‘Queen of the Suburbs’. In this book, local historians Dr Jonathan Oates and Paul Howard Lang look back over the centuries to uncover the fascinating history of the district. The new public buildings, churches and chapels played an important role alongside large-scale housing developments from the nineteenth century onwards. Leisure was important in Ealing too. The inhabitants of Ealing included many famous names recorded by blue plaques today but all benefitted from the growth of shopping centres in the area. Not only was it well-known for its open spaces but is also the home of film studios. The stories of Ealing’s places and people bring the history to life, together with illustrations to show where reminders of the area’s past can still be found.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Ealing has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the district.

The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed
In The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed, Éric Rebillard argues that the appearance of Christian signs and practices in the Roman Empire has long been misunderstood. Rather than marking a rapid wave of conversions or the triumph of belief, the spread of Christian signs reflected a more complex and fluid religious landscape. Rebillard offers a striking new account of how Christianity took hold, not through adherence to doctrine or formal membership in a church, but through a gradual diffusion of signs and practices. Drawing on cognitive science, anthropology, and theories of religious mobility, he shows how individuals across the ancient Mediterranean experimented with religious symbols: adopting some, abandoning others, and often blending them without concern for consistency. Rebillard maps out a world where religious affiliation was provisional, situational, and rarely exclusive. The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed challenges the idea that Christianity's rise was a straightforward story of growth, mission, or hegemony. By replacing a triumphalist narrative with one attuned to ambiguity, resilience, and the everyday realities of religious life in late antiquity, Rebillard offers scholars and general readers alike a richer, more accurate account of how Christianity spread—and what that spread actually meant.
