Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection at the International Criminal Court
Conversations about the involvement of States in the workings of the International Criminal Court often focus on the role of State cooperation in enabling the ICC to carry out criminal trials. However, there is a dimension to this cooperation that is underexplored. Whenever the ICC relies on the assistance of States, or States otherwise become involved in its functioning, the human rights of accused and witnesses involved in proceedings may be adversely affected. The simultaneous involvement of the ICC, ICC States Parties, and the ICC host State - whilst essential and unavoidable - can insert ambiguity and uncertainty into the protection of individuals, leaving the door open for human rights violations. This book explores this phenomenon of multi-actor human rights protection at the ICC. By setting out the relevant obligations of the different actors, the book highlights potential problems in human rights protection and proposes ways to mitigate them.

Roman Dragoun. Rockový apoštol
Kniha mapuje životní osudy Romana Dragouna od dětství v Písku přes jeho působení na brněnské rockové scéně až po uvedení do Beatové síně slávy.
Již v mládí projevoval hudební talent, navštěvoval klavírní hodiny a improvizoval, ovlivněn klasikou i rockem. V Brně se připojil v roce 1975 k amatérské Regeneraci, pak v roce 1980 vstoupil do Progres 2, kde nahradil klávesistu Karla Horkého i zpěváka Pavla Váněho; jeho skladba „Muž, který se podobá odvrácené straně měsíce“ z alba Třetí kniha džunglí získala titul Rockové písně roku 1982. V 80. letech 20. století založil s Milošem Morávkem Futurum, v roce 1989 přešel do Stromboli Michala Pavlíčka, hrál Ježíše v Jesus Christ Superstar a spolupracoval s Bárou Basikovou či Zuzanou Michnovou. Sólová alba jako Stín mý krve (1995), Slunci blíž (2000), Otlučená srdce (2009), Piano (2012), Samota (2016) či Roman Dragoun Projekt (2021) spojují rock, jazz a funk s duchovními texty Milana Prince a Dragounova otce.

Mayhem and the Mortal
One mission. One curse. No escape.
Zaira doesn't want a hero. She needs a weapon.
To save her sister from a soul-devouring curse, she has to cross The Shallows - a nightmare landscape of ruined magic, shifting paths, and vicious creatures that eat people alive.
Her guide - Thane Valkor: sorcerer, assassin, walking red flag. His name clears rooms. His magic kills quietly. And whatever he's really after, it's not salvation.
He promises to help. He might even mean it.
But Zaira knows better than to trust a liar with a blade and ice in his veins.
She just doesn't have a choice.
Walker Evans
A major reassessment of Walker Evans that shows him as a photographer both of his time and very much ahead of it.
Walker Evans (1903-1975) is one of the great enduring figures of modern photography. His vivid images are inseparable from the history of the medium and the history of the USA. The subject matter was quintessentially American - small-town life, typical buildings, commercial signs and anonymous citizens - but Evans brought to them the curiosity and fascination of an outsider. His exacting eye defined an era while also questioning it. Pop artists and Conceptualists saw Evans as a pioneer and precursor, and his sensibility continues to inspire countless younger image makers.
Walker Evans offers a broad overview of his work and its lasting influence on generations of artists. It brings together key photographs and projects spanning his entire career - from self-portraits of the 1920s to his Polaroid experiments in the 1970s - along with books and other publications that reflect his tireless capacity for observation. Together, the works reveal a creator who not only documented the world around him but also invited viewers to question the nature of photography and the perception of reality itself.

Keep Your Hair On
Blending science and lived experience, this book offers a compassionate, stigma-busting exploration of body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) - revealing why they happen, why they bother us, and how understanding them may be the key to healing. Keep Your Hair On combines personal experience with scientific inquiry to explore the misunderstood world of hair pulling, skin picking and nail biting. These behaviours are fairly common and can cause a lot of distress, but have been largely neglected by medical science, leaving many to suffer in silence. Neuroscientist Clare Mackay shares her own four-decade struggle with hair pulling, while examining what drives these behaviours and why they can make people feel so bad. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, animal behaviour, dermatology and lived experience, she challenges the stigma and oversimplified assumptions surrounding BFRBs. Mackay offers compassionate insights into why these behaviours develop, why they're so hard to stop, and how shame compounds the struggle. Rather than promoting quick fixes, she encourages understanding over judgement and introduces new avenues for management, including the power of self-compassion. This is not a self-help manual, but it may help - by reframing BFRBs not as signs of personal failure, but as interesting, deeply human behaviours that deserve curiosity, care and connection.
