A Marvellous Light
Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this is a comedy of manners, manor houses, and hedge mazes - including a magic-infused murder mystery and a delightful queer romance.
For fans of Georgette Heyer or Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, who'd like to welcome magic into their lives . . .
Young baronet Robin Blyth thought he was taking up a minor governmental post. However, he's actually been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. If it weren't for this administrative error, he'd never have discovered the incredible magic underlying his world.
Cursed by mysterious attackers and plagued by visions, Robin becomes determined to drag answers from his missing predecessor - but he'll need the help of Edwin Courcey, his hostile magical-society counterpart. Unwillingly thrown together, Robin and Edwin will discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles.
The Binding meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in debut author Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light. Continue the thrilling series with A Restless Truth.
The Good Ally
'I invite you to be courageous and get comfortable with being uncomfortable, because any discomfort you feel is temporary and pales in comparison to what black and brown people often have to experience on a daily basis.
Are you ready?
The Good Ally is an urgent call to arms to become better allies against racism and provides a thoughtful approach, centering collective healing, to do so.
It is a book for those against persistent racial injustice, hungry to expand their knowledge and understanding of systemic racism in Britain and beyond. It uncovers the roots of racism and its birthplace, anti-Blackness.
It is for those who not only want to be able to better recognise both subtle and overt forms of racism in action, to examine their powerful role in it, but who want to know what to do about it. The answer often lies within.
The Good Ally is the answer to 'what next?'

Process and Aesthetics
While Alfred North Whitehead did not dedicate any books or articles to aesthetics specifically, aesthetic motifs permeate his entire philosophical opus. Despite this, aestheticians have devoted little attention to Whitehead; most attempts to reconstruct Whitehead’s aesthetics have come from process philosophers, and even in that context aesthetics has never occupied a central position. In this book, four scholars of aesthetics provide another angle from which Whiteheadian aesthetics might be reconstructed. Paying special attention to the notion of aesthetic experience, the authors analyze abstraction versus concreteness, immediacy vs. mediation, and aesthetic contextualism vs. aesthetic isolationism. For their interpretation of Whiteheadian aesthetics, the concepts of creativity and rhythm are crucial. Using these concepts, the book interprets the motif of the processes by which experience is harmonized, the sensation of the quality of the whole, and directedness towards novelty.
The first chapter introduces Whitehead’s philosophical method of descriptive generalization. This method assumes that every philosophical system is based on a particular entry point. We show that for Whitehead this entry point was aesthetics. Chapter Two compares Whitehead and Dewey’s philosophies to show that both viewed aesthetic experience in terms of complex rhythms; this helps us better understand the differences and the continuities between everyday experience and art. Chapter Three compares Whitehead’s ideas with those of Henri Bergson, showing the way art reveals the form of immediate experience and how the aesthetic experience of art relates to truth. The final chapter details the processes that constitute aesthetic experience in a narrower sense, analyzing aesthetic experience from the perspective of the types of abstractive processes it involves and the complex types of experience it produces.

Poselství hor
Obrazy a myšlenky této knihy chtějí ukázat vnitřní bohatství hor. Obracejí se na poutníka a horolezce, který ve výšinách hledá více než fitness, výkon, kyslík, opálení do bronzova či skleničku u baru v horském hotelu.
Jakožto nadšený horolezec jsem se na horách potkal s mnoha lidmi, říká biskup Reinhold Stecher, po desítky let jsem s mládeží prožíval nezapomenutelné týdny na ledu a na skále, a proto si troufám tvrdit: Mnoho cest vede k Bohu - jedna prochází horami.
Marek Orko Vácha o knize napsal:
Reinhold Stecher nás především a mezi řádky učí umění meditace. Když v evangeliích čteme, jak tématem podobenství se stává rozsévač, pole bílá ke žním, pozvání na svatbu nebo dělníci na vinici, ke Stecherovi takto mluví horské louky, západy slunce, nebo i horolezecká přilba či staré lano; to vše mu zpívá o Bohu, a v horském křišťálu, v tichu nebo mrazivých nocích objevuje stopy Boží. Slovy žalmisty, v této knize nebesa zpívají o Boží slávě a dílo jeho rukou zvěstuje obloha. A biskup Stecher nás zve, abychom, kdekoli jsme, na horách, v nížinách, v každé vteřině našich životů, ono tiché a prastaré vypravování nebes zaslechli a nechali se jím vést.

Seven Pillars of Science
John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things, shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, presents a tour of seven fundamental scientific truths that underpin our very existence.
These 'pillars of science' also defy common sense. For example, solid things are mostly empty space, so how do they hold together? There appears to be no special 'life force', so how do we distinguish living things from inanimate objects? And why does ice float on water, when most solids don't? You might think that question hardly needs asking, and yet if ice didn't float, life on Earth would never have happened.
The answers to all of these questions were sensational in their day, and some still are. Throughout history, science has been able to think the unthinkable - and Gribbin brilliantly shows the surprising secrets on which our understanding of life is based.
Parenting Hell
What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?
And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?
Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.
The Dying Citizen
A New York Times bestseller, "The Dying Citizen is essential reading for any American who cares about the fate of our nation" (Mark R. Levin)
Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the "citizen" is historically rare-and was among America's most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship may soon vanish.In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective sense of self. And a top-heavy state has endangered personal liberty.With a new epilogue that assesses how the events of 2021 have further diminished the meaning of American citizenship, The Dying Citizen is a clarion call to rebuild our collective national identity.
Slipknot - The End, So Far (Yellow) 2LP
KDO: Devítičlenná kapela z Iowy kombinuje nejrůznější druhy metalu, proto je její tvorba nejčastěji označována jako crossover metal. Skupina proslula kotroverzními texty a používáním bizarních masek a kostýmů. Kapelu v roce 1995 založili ve městě Des Moines perkusista Shawn Crahan, bubeník Joey Jordison a basák Paul Gray. Sestava skupiny se několik let měnila, v roce 2010 navíc Gray zemřel a na jeho místo nastoupil Donnie Steele. Zpěvákem skupiny zůstává Corey Taylor. Jejich hudba je mixem vlivů, které do metalu přinesli Korn či Marilyn Manson, tedy grind metal, neo-shock rock či rap metal. Jsou jednou z kapel, která se zasloužila o celosvětovou explozi popularity nu-metalu druhé poloviny 90. let. Skupina po celou svoji existenci vystupuje ve stejných kostýmech a na pódiu jsou její členové očíslování od nuly do osmičky.
