Another Country
A compelling social and cultural history of Britain since the Second World War, showing how photographers have depicted the country over the last seventy years.
Another Country offers a lively, vital rethinking of British documentary photography over the last seven decades. This collection includes a diverse range of photographers working in an exciting array of photographic and artistic modes, encompassing images from iconic reportage to photo-text pieces, from self-portraits to political photo-collages.
As Britain takes an increasingly significant place in the history of documentary photography, award-winning photography writer and critic Gerry Badger brings vital context and breadth to the conversation. Organized chronologically, each chapter spans a particular period of social and cultural history, focusing on the major photographers, figures, institutions, publications and galleries that shaped the photographic climate of their time, as well as the broader tastes of the era. Chapter-by-chapter picture sections present famous works alongside forgotten masterpieces, interspersed with focused commentaries on selected photographs by both Badger and a range of contributors. This multilayered approach provides a rich understanding of the evolution and sheer variety of British documentary photography.
With more than 165 photographers represented - including work by Bert Hardy, Lee Miller, Bill Brandt, Nigel Henderson, Don McCullin, Jane Bown, Yinka Shonibare, Maud Sulter, Nadav Kander, Tom Hunter, Chloe Dewe Matthews, Cold War Steve and many more - this book is a comprehensive overview of how photographers and photo-artists have depicted Britain and British society over the last seventy years.

The Ambassadors
History does not run in straight lines. Instead of inevitable progress, what we get is more often false starts, blind alleys, random events, good intentions that go wrong. Robert Cooper's incisive and elegant book is therefore not a continuous diplomatic history. Richelieu and Mazarin inhabited a 16th-century world we can hardly imagine today, but it is from their time that we can begin to see the outline of today's Europe.
The Ambassadors includes a brilliant analysis of the people who built the Western side of the Cold War. Henry Kissinger is a pivotal figure in the post-war world, and his story is in some ways typical: he failed in his most important aims and succeeded in ways he never expected. Robert Cooper's pieces together history and considers the illuminating fragments it leaves behind.

Geneze pražského reformního hnutí, 1360–1419
Na přelomu 14. a 15. století se v Praze zrodila hereze, která svou silou pozdvihla celou zemi. Z věrnosti k svému mluvčímu mistru Janu Husovi Čechy přervaly pouta s koncilem i císařem, kteří jej vydali světské moci k upálení na hranici. Monografie Oliviera Marina mapuje kořeny tohoto konfliktu. Závěr 14. století byl dobou reforem a nešlo zde jen o tu, kterou později nazveme husitstvím. Hus bezpochyby dokonale ztělesňoval evangelické smýšlení české univerzitní elity. Vedle něj však spolupůsobily i další osobnosti – německy mluvící mistři, představitelé církevní hierarchie nebo zbožní laici. Ačkoli navzájem sdíleli nostalgii po čase apoštolů, jejich představy o Bohu, svátostech i církvi byly rozličné. Jejich dialog tvoří páteř této knihy, která ve výkladu o setkáních i střetávání mezi arcibiskupem, univerzitními mistry a věřícími odhaluje náboženské kořeny střední Evropy.
Olivier Marin, absolvent École Normale Supérieure v Paříži, působí jako docent na Université Paris-Nord a v Semináři Saint-Sulpice.

Mouse's Wood
A Daily Telegraph and Observer Children's Book of the Year Described as 'an utter gem' by the Telegraph, this exquisitely illustrated picture book with die-cut flaps follows the woodland ramblings of Mouse through the change in seasons. Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse's rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse's Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature. The story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel.
Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse's journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December, from picnicking among the bluebells with Mole in May and picking berries with Dormouse in June, to taking refuge in Fox's cozy caravan as winter draws in.
Descartes: A Very Short Introduction
Rene Descartes (1596-1650) had a remarkably short working life, and his output was small, yet his contributions to philosophy and science have endured to the present day. He is perhaps best known for his statement 'Cogito, ergo sum'. By a mixture of 'intuition' and 'deduction' Descartes derived from the 'cogito' principle first the existence of a material world. But Descartes did not intend the metaphysics to stand apart from his scientific work, which included important investigations into physics, mathematics, psychology, and optics. In this book Tom Sorrell shows that Descartes was, above all, an advocate and practitioner of a new mathematical approach to physics, and that he developed his metaphysics to support his programme in the sciences.

Agent Kolbe
Fritz Kolbe, úředník ministerstva zahraničí v Berlíně, převážel do Švýcarska tajné nacistické materiály, aby je následně předávat Allenu Dullesovi, šéfovi americké tajné organizace OSS sídlící v Bernu. Převezl tak informace z více než 1600 nacistických listin a dokumentů – mimo jiné o nacistickém špionovi z okruhu lidí blízkých viceprezidentovi USA, o vývoji nových nacistických zbraní, o přesné poloze Vlčího doupěte, Hitlerova hlavního sídla, nebo o plánované likvidaci židovské komunity v Římě. Jeho krycí jméno bylo George Wood. Allan Dulles, který se po válce stal šéfem CIA, jej označil za nejdůležitějšího agenta druhé světové války. Po válce se Fritz Kolbe nejen nemohl vrátit na ministerstvo zahraničí, ale měl velké problémy najít v nově vznikajícím německém státním aparátu uplatnění. Zemřel, téměř zapomenutý, v roce 1971 v Bernu, v tomtéž městě, které z něj udělalo top agenta Američanů. Rehabilitace a uznání došel až díky tehdejšímu ministrovi Joschkovi Fischerovi, který slavnostně otevřel na ministerstvu zahraničních věcí v Berlíně v roce 2004 sál věnovaný památce Fritze Kolbeho.

Neon Gods
He was supposed to be a myth.
But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell...he was, quite simply, mine.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.*
Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade.
With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.
Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her-for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close...

Launching the Winter Sea series, full of magic, betrayal, redemption and fearsome women, for readers of Adrienne Young, R. J. Barker and Naomi Novik.

Invasion
The first book of reportage from the front line of the Ukraine war. This is a powerful, moving first draft of history written by the award-winning Guardian journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Collusion and Shadow State.
For months, the omens had pointed in one scarcely believable direction: Russia was about to invade Ukraine. And yet, the world was stunned by the epochal scale of the assault that began in February 2022. It was an attempt by one nation to devour another.
Invasion is Luke Harding’s compelling chronicle of the war that changed everything. For this breathtaking work of reportage he spent months reporting on the ground during the build up to the conflict and afterward; his book tells of the initial days of shock and panic, the grim reality of this ongoing war, and the unheard human stories behind the headlines. Invasion also offers insightful portraits of the the war's two great personalities. One, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is an actor-turned-president who rallied support on a global stage. The other, Vladimir Putin, is a dictator who dwells in a strange and unreachable realm. Harding examines the ideological, religious and personal reasons behind Putin's decision to invade. And he confronts a crucial question: which side will prevail in this terrible war?
With the ripple effects of the largest armed conflict in Europe since 1945 already being felt beyond Ukraine and Russia’s borders, it is more vital than ever to understand how the situation on the front line will have profound effects for us all. Written in Luke Harding’s starkly transfixing style, Invasion makes for essential reading.

Born to Build
People will ask you throughout your life, "Where do you work?" and "What do you do?" They never ask you, "What are you building?"

Written for anyone trying to figure out how to make the most of their lives, Born to Build seeks to inspire entrepreneurs and ambitious, self-motivated people to build something that will change the world. A builder's venture could be a small business that grows into a mammoth enterprise, a thriving new division in an existing company, a nonprofit, a social enterprise, a church, a school - anything that creates economic growth and makes a lasting impact on society.
Born to Build is written by Gallup Chairman and CEO Jim Clifton and Sangeeta Badal, Ph.D., Principal Scientist for Gallup's Entrepreneurship and Job Creation initiative, and is grounded in years of research. This book goes beyond the conventional economics-based business training and instead offers a uniquely psychological approach to venture building. It gives readers the tools and techniques they need to understand who they are, what motivates them and what they can build - and how. By following the practical steps in Born to Build, readers will have the tools to build a sustainable and profitable venture of any size from scratch.
