Now, in a world of magic and mystery, Maddie must discover her voice and her power to protect the island and the man she's come to love. Finding out you’re a mythical being is one thing. Realising you’re the key to saving an entire civilisation? That’s something else entirely.

No More Chainsaws
“Welcome to the Golden Age of Women-Directed Horror.” Over the last fifteen years, there has been a sustained global influx of women artists working in mainstream and independent horror cinemas earning notable public and industry acclaim. As a result, now, for the first time in horror history, there is also a concentrated corpus of films that explicitly address topics of identity, sexuality, trauma, and monstrosity from women’s perspectives. No More Chainsaws offers an in-depth analysis of some of the earliest and underrated releases within this New Wave of Women’s Horror cinema: Catherine Hardwicke’sTwilight (2008), Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009), Jennifer and Sylvia Soska’s American Mary (2012), and Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie (2013). No More Chainsaws articulates the ways in which these contemporary films attempt to liberate horror from an over-determining gendered lexicon of violence and terror.

Líc a rub, 2. vydání
Před mnoha lety obloha dštila kamení a oheň a takový nápor staré impérium nevydrželo. Země, které se vymanily z jeho svazující hegemonie, mají nastolit nový světový pořádek. Zvláště dva lidé vidí tento proces v širších souvislostech. V zimním paláci má králova nová lékařka více nepřátel, než si zprvu uvědomuje: Její protivníci ovšem nevědí, že nemá ve svém arzenálu jen léky… V jiném paláci za horami má ve službách královraha protektora jeho hlavní tělesný strážce také své nepřátele. Ti ale dokážou udeřit mnohem rychleji a on s nimi bojuje mnohem tradičnějšími prostředky. Kniha je příběhem dvou příběhů. Oba spějí k dramatickému vyvrcholení, oba jsou spolu spjaty víc, než hrdinové tuší, a oběma je společným jmenovatelem klam, láska a zrada. Líc a rub je pátý román série Kultura od fenomenálního autora fantastiky Iaina M. Bankse.

Právo pro školy
Regionální školství je v České republice reprezentováno rozsáhlou sítí mateřských, základních, středních a specializovaných škol, přesahující počtem deset tisíc subjektů. Autorský kolektiv pod vedením JUDr. Stanislava Polčáka přináší první ucelenou monografii s výkladem nejzásadnějších právních předpisů, vydaných metodických dokumentů a soudní judikatury regulující regionální školství.
Publikace Právo pro školy je určena především zřizovatelům škol – představitelům samospráv, neboť se zaměřuje na zásadní změny ve financování regionálního školství přijaté v roce 2025, ale pochopitelně i na zásadní změny školského zákona. Kniha by neměla chybět ani v knihovně ředitele školy a měla by být k dispozici členům pedagogického sboru, protože neopomíjí žádnou z významných oblastí právní regulace vzdělávacího procesu. Snahou autorského kolektivu bylo poskytnout účastníkům vzdělávání a zřizovatelům škol významnou oporu při řízení a správě mateřských a základních škol a také v samotném vzdělávacím procesu.
The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.

Eleusis
A landmark account of the Eleusinian Mysteries by one of the leading mythologists of the twentieth centuryThe Sanctuary of Eleusis near Athens was the center of a religious cult that endured for nearly two thousand years and whose initiates came from all parts of the civilized world. In this classic work, Carl Kerényi examines the Mysteries of Eleusis from the standpoint not only of Greek myth but also of human nature. He reveals how the yearly autumnal mysteries were based on the ancient myth of Demeter’s search for her ravished daughter Persephone, a search that he equates not only with woman’s quest for completion but with every person’s pursuit of identity. Drawing on archaeology, objects of art, and religious history, Kerényi explores what the mysteries may have been like for those who experienced them and suggests rich parallels with other mythologies.

Asklepios
A landmark account of the divine physician of the Greeks in myth and archetypeTo the physicians of classical antiquity, Asklepios was the ideal of their existence as healers. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi takes readers on a tour of the sacred sites of the Greek god of medicine to investigate the origins and archetypal significance of Asklepios as the divine physician. Drawing on mythology to trace the obscure beginnings of the cult, Kerényi argues that Asklepios was an aspect of his father, the god Apollo, closely associated with the light of rising sun and embodying the qualities of a healing deity. He shows how the Greeks revered Asklepios as the divine ancestor and prototype of mortal physicians and explores the role of the Asklepios archetype in modern psychology.
Prometheus
A landmark account of the Prometheus story as myth and archetypeThe god Prometheus stole fire from heaven and bestowed it on humans. In punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock, where an eagle clawed unceasingly at his liver until Herakles freed him. For the Greeks, the myth of Prometheus’s release reflected a primordial law of existence and the fate of humankind. Carl Kerényi examines the story of Prometheus and the very process of mythmaking as a reflection of the archetypal function and seeks to discover how this primitive tale was invested with a universal fatality, first in the Greek imagination and then in the Western tradition of Romantic poetry. Kerényi traces the evolving myth from Hesiod and Aeschylus, and in its epic treatment by Goethe and Shelley. He goes on to consider the myth from the perspective of Jungian psychology as the archetype of human daring signifying the transformation of suffering into the mystery of the sacrifice.
