The Winchester Constitutional Contribution 1070–1346
First among equals before the Norman Conquest, the ancient See of Winchester was soon overtaken by Canterbury, York and London following the defeat of the Anglo-Saxons at Hastings. Despite this, it retained its wealth and prestige through its geographical position and the bishop’s unrivalled proximity to kings at Westminster and archbishops at Lambeth – thanks to the diocese’s hold on the Thames’ south bank and its base at Southwark. This helped ensure that successive bishops were drawn from among the finest medieval administrators. Frequently serving as Chancellors or Treasurers of England, they had immense opportunity to influence the development of early English government. They played key roles in shaping an effective legal and financial system, in securing Magna Carta and in promoting an embryonic Parliament. A bishop of Winchester was present at most, if not all, major events under the Norman and early Plantagenet monarchs. The Winchester bishop’s removal of the hapless Edward II paved the way for the long and illustrious reign of his son, Edward III.
Monumental Lies
How the past is memorialized can have a dangerous influence on the future. Monumental Lies exposes the truths buried at contested heritage sites and demands that we safeguard the material evidence of history from both malign defenders and over-enthusiastic erasure. Robert Bevan challenges us to rethink our relationship with our contested spaces, from colonial statues and the physical legacy of fascism, to fake post-conflict reconstructions and ethno-nationalist narratives about beauty and tradition. He questions symbolic power and symbolic changes and explains why wording on a plaque is never a substitute for tackling problem monuments through artistic transformations at scale.

The Committee of Men
James Ciano’s debut collection, The Committee of Men, explores the cycles of violence men inflict on one another and themselves, examining how silence, shame, and inherited expectations shape masculine identity. Rooted in the speaker’s experience as a college athlete from a family of athletes—including a father who is a high school football coach—these poems confront the emotional weight of tradition and the often-unspoken struggles of male intimacy, mental illness, and familial pressure. Through sharp lyricism and emotional honesty, Ciano delves into themes of belonging and exile, accountability and forgiveness, and the quiet damage done by historically unexamined masculinity, asking what it means to break these generational cycles without severing connection, and how healing might emerge in places where vulnerability is discouraged or denied. The result is a collection that is both unflinching and deeply humane—an urgent, resonant debut that refuses to look away. The Committee of Men also includes a foreword by acclaimed poet David St. John, whose introduction situates Ciano’s work within a broader conversation about masculinity and poetic tradition, and underscores the collection’s emotional depth and significance.

His steadfast leadership during the Bristol Babies Scandal reflected his deep commitment to patients and clinical excellence. This memoir is more than a chronicle of surgical milestones; it is a compelling collection of true stories, revealing the emotional and psychological realities of life as a surgeon. Honest, reflective and inspiring, it explores both mistakes and triumphs, offering rare insight into the human side of surgery. A Knife to the Heart reminds us that behind every mask lies a person with dreams, fears and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.
Nová cesta kocourka Chloupka
Je parné léto a Chloupek dostal zásadní úkol: donést svému dědečkovi speciální šroubky, které nutně potřebuje. Obstojí kocourek při této důležité pochůzce?
Nezačne to zrovna nejlíp: mapu, podle které putuje, mu maminka naškrábala dost lajdácky, takže se v ní nevyzná, v cestě mu stojí veliká řeka, přes niž se musí nějak dostat — a to celé je jen začátek dalších trablů. Chloupek je naštěstí nejen roztomilý, ale i pohotový a upřímný a díky tomu si všude dokáže získat přátele. S kamarády se totiž dá zvládnout leccos, i to, co zpočátku vypadá úplně nemožně. Stačí neztrácet naději a pozorně se dívat kolem sebe. V tom je nejen krásné poselství, ale i autorčin osobní životní postoj.
Jemně kolorované perokresby v sobě nezapřou asijský původ a autorčin vybraný smysl pro estetiku. V mnohém však připomínají i srdeční tituly našeho dětství. Je to zkrátka radostné knižní setkání pro děti i dospělé, kteří milují vytříbený knižní design.
První knížka o kocourku Chloupkovi získala na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni v roce 2024 zvláštní uznání v kategorii debut.
Pro děti od tří let.
Pravda pro život
Dobrá zpráva, která vás každý den posouvá blíž k Bohu.
Když čteme noviny, snažíme se porozumět naší společnosti, a když se díváme na své dějiny či budoucnost, potřebujeme Bibli, abychom si s tím vším dokázali poradit. Boží slovo je pravda, kterou potřebujeme, aby nás vedla každý den vezdejšího života a směrovala nás ke Kristu, v němž nacházíme skutečný život.
Kniha, kterou držíte v ruce je denní čtení, protože člověk nežije jen chlebem, nýbrž každým slovem, které vychází z Božích úst (Mt 4,4). Boží slovo nás denně sytí a je pro naše duchovní zdraví stejně nezbytné jako jídlo pro zdraví tělesné. Některé dny pro vás bude čtení Božího slova potěšením, zatímco jindy ho budete číst spíš z povinnosti, ale každý den to je důležité.
Boží slovo o sobě říká, že nám může dát „moudrost k záchraně skrze víru, která je v Kristu Ježíši“ a že tato Bohem vdechnutá slova jsou užitečná „k učení, k usvědčování, k napravování, k výchově ve spravedlnosti, aby Boží člověk byl takový, jaký má být, důkladně vystrojený ke každému dobrému skutku“ (2Tm 3,15–17).
Rozhodněte se tedy otvírat Bibli každý den (a když si uvědomíte, že jste polevili, prostě se k tomu zase vraťte), protože Boží slovo je živé a činné a bude ve vás působit mnohem hlouběji a zásadněji, než svými pocity můžete vytušit.
Boží řeč jsou slova, která potřebujeme. Proto je našim přáním, aby vám, milovaným Božím dětem, tato kniha změnila život, až vás k těmto slovům bude denně přivádět a Boží Duch vám bude skrze své slovo ukazovat Božího Syna.
