Maid Marian's life is over.
Her cowardly father has betrothed her to the most reviled man in the land: the Sheriff of Nottingham. Devastated, she's sent on the quickest path to meet her husband, through the fae-infested Sherwood Forest.
But everything changes when her carriage is attacked by the most feared fae of all: the Merry Men, followers of the infamous Robin Hood. Kidnapped and waiting on the Sheriff's rescue, Marian finds herself surrounded by the magical creatures she's been raised to fear. But the more time she spends in their presence, Marian realises that not everything she's been taught by her family is true.
And Marian can't help but find herself drawn to her captor - the sinfully handsome Robin, who stands between her and returning to life amongst the humans.

Nursing Aids at War
Nursing Aids at War: The Australian Army Medical Women's Service in the Second World War explores the chronological history of the Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS) and challenges our understanding of servicewomen and gendered work in the Australian Army. Arranged in three parts, the book first introduces the nursing aid and how the Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) became intertwined with the nursing service in the First and Second World Wars. It then investigates disruptions, tensions and controversies faced by the VAD as they transitioned into the AAMWS; in particular, the training schemes for AAMWS to become professionally trained nurses in military hospitals. Lastly, the book explores and challenges representations and reflections of the VAD and AAMWS, including building a national identity separate to practising nurses, and acknowledging their history as largely being forgotten amongst discussion of Australia's wider military history.

Spisovatelia za mrežami
Kniha Spisovatelia za mrežami (2026) zaznamenáva osudy slovenských literátov, prekladateľov a novinárov, ktorí boli v 50. rokoch minulého storočia väznení. Boli medzi nimi špičkoví spisovatelia, ďalší predstavovali akýsi stredný prúd vtedajšej literatúry, ale uväznení boli aj mladí ľudia, ktorí nemali ani dvadsať rokov a tvoriť začali až po prepustení z väzenia. Približne päťdesiat spisovateľov bolo spolu za mrežami vyše dvesto rokov - medzi nimi odporcovia komunistického režimu, ale aj jeho vysokí funkcionári.

Six Minutes to Winter (Paperback)
The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.
Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.
We are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. Six Minutes to Winter presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.
Modlitby v ťažkých časoch
Kniha modlitieb pre ťažké chvíle, ktoré nás v živote stretávajú. Táto vzácna a zároveň každodenná knižka nám umožňuje spájať malé i veľké trápenia s Božou láskou.
Isabelle Chevignardová pokojnými a pokornými slovami odkrýva nielen trápenie, ale aj krásu a radosť ukryté v krehkosti ľudského bytia. V reakcii na citát proroka Izaiáša „Si drahý v mojich očiach a ja ťa milujem“ (Iz 43,4) nám dáva pochopiť, že si vždy môžeme byť istí hojivou Božou prítomnosťou a že jednoduchou modlitbou môžeme obnoviť pokoj v našom srdci i v srdci našich blízkych.
Anish Kapoor
Key works from the past 15 years of Kapoor’s career, including new sculptures and paintings that elaborate upon the artist’s famed spatial and perceptual experimentations
This landmark volume presents a selection of British sculptor Anish Kapoor’s (born 1954) output from the past 15 years, highlighting many of his most iconic works: steel mirror sculptures that warp, distort and disorient; objects coated in Vantablack that mystify with their extraordinary light-absorbing properties; and seemingly depthless voids opening within the gallery space, drawing viewers in with a thrilling sense of vertigo. The volume also introduces the artist’s development of new, strikingly visceral forms of sculpture and painting. In these recent works, Kapoor explores both novel thematic concerns as well as those that have been central to his entire career: spatial perception, presence and absence, surface and void, the known and the unknown. The volume also features a text from renowned psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva as well as an interview with the artist conducted by Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff.
Churchill’s Queen
A ground-breaking and revelatory exploration of the remarkable friendship between Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill.In February 1952, when the young Elizabeth returned to London after her sudden accession to the throne, Churchill was first to greet her as she stepped off the aircraft. The image was a striking one – an elderly statesman in the twilight of his career paying homage to a young sovereign just embarking on what would become the longest reign in the history of the British monarchy. He already had a lifetime of experience to share, while she had a lifetime of service still to come.Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II rank alongside the most iconic historical figures of all time. They defined the ages in which they lived, and exerted enormous influence on the lives of millions around the globe. But even more extraordinary than their individual achievements is the unique friendship that developed between them, with Churchill helping the fledgling queen to shape the start of her reign, and Elizabeth in turn helping him to retire with dignity and grace, cementing his legacy at the end of his career.Using previously unpublished material from government files and private archives, Churchill’s Queen sheds new light on this historic partnership, revealing how it grew despite challenges and setbacks – and ultimately shaped the monarchy and the nation.

BODY MYTH HB
The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body.The female body has been misunderstood for centuries.Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. ExploitedIn The Body Myth, feminist writer and women''s health campaigner Milli Hill exposes the stories we’ve been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are.From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts — while industries profit from their insecurity.Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women’s lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue.Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power.Readers can''t get enough of Milli''s no-holds-barred writing:''I love your books'' J. K. Rowling''One of my very favourite birth writers'' Ricki Lake''Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavors'' Emma Barnett

Rival Modernities
What do Buffalo Bill and Gustave Eiffel have in common? These celebrities are both part of Venita Datta's analysis of competing notions of modernity and French-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century. Fin-de-siècle France saw itself as the premier modern country. A pioneer in the aviation and cinema industries, its capital Paris was home to the cultural avant-garde. Nonetheless, the French harbored ambivalent feelings toward modernity and expressed their critiques of a certain type of modernity by denigrating it as "American." To understand this ambivalence, Datta effectively contrasts four pairs of exemplary French and American figures: inventor-entrepreneurs Gustave Eiffel and Thomas Edison, reporters Nellie Bly and Gaston Leroux, celebrity politicians Georges Boulanger and Theodore Roosevelt, and adventurers Buffalo Bill and the Marquis de Morès. Through an examination of the differences in French perceptions of these famous pairs, Datta illustrates that they highlight competing values rooted in national identity, and reflect each nation's struggles with democracy. Filled with fascinating characters and detail, Datta's book illuminates both the rivalries between France and the United States and their deep connections at an important yet understudied moment in history. The legacy of these complex Franco-American cultural relations is profoundly relevant to the challenges contemporary democracies face today.
