Back Roads and Better Angels
A year into his marriage and having never driven an RV, Frank and his wife Laurel set out from New York City in a Winnebago to drive the nation''s first transcontinental route, the Lincoln Highway, which zigzags through small towns and big cities from Times Square to San Francisco. Using the spirit of Abraham Lincoln to guide them across the land, they hope to see more clearly what holds the country together - and how we can keep it together, even amidst political divisions have grown increasingly rancorous, bitter, and exhausting. Along the way, Frank and Laurel meet Americans whose personal experiences help humanize the nation''s divisions, and they encounter historical figures and events whose legacies are still shaping our sense of national identity and the struggles over it. This unforgettable journey is full of what makes any great road trip memorable and enjoyable: music, conversation, and laughter. By the end, readers will have a clearer picture of how we have arrived at a period that carries echoes of the Civil War era, and - using Lincoln as a guide - where the path forward lies.
Empty Vessel
'Thrilling, meticulous and wondrously original' PHILIPPE SANDS
A jaw-dropping microhistory of the global economy over the last fifty years told through the many lives of a single ship.
At 94 meters long and 9,500 deadweight tonnes, once called the Bibby Resolution, is an unremarkable hulk, crossing the oceans unnoticed. And yet, the astonishing journey of this boat can tell us the story of the modern world.
First built as a Swedish offshore oil rig in the 1970s, it went on to become a barracks for British soldiers in the Falklands War in the 1980s, a jail off New York in the 1990s, a prison in Portland in the 2000s, and accommodation for Nigerian oil workers off the coast of Africa in the 2010s. It has been called Safe Esperia, HMP The Weare, even 'The Love Boat'. In each of its lives this empty vessel has been commanded by economic forces much larger than itself: private investment, war, mass incarceration, imperial interests, national sovereignty, inflation, booms, busts and greed.
Through its encounters with a world of island tax havens, the English court system, exploited labour forces, free banking zones or immigration politics, the ordinary boat at the heart of this story reveals our complex modern economy to us, connecting the dots of a dramatically changing world in the making, and warning us of its dangerous consequences.
Right Thing, Right Now
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - HOW TO HARNESS THE LIFE-CHANGING POWER OF INTEGRITY
'A message all of us need to hear' Arnold Schwarzenegger
'This book is a gift to humanity' Dr. Edith Eva Eger
For the Stoics, justice was more than an idea. It was a way of life, a personal commitment to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult the path.
Our ability to live by our values and do good is life-changing; it is key to self-respect, purpose and success on our own terms. In this third instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday draws on historical icons and contemporary heroes to show us how to embrace the power of owning our convictions and acting accordingly in an era of dishonesty. Ultimately, the path to greatness is impossible without goodness.
Your values, your character and your deeds determine your success and your legacy. This book shows you the way.

The Lost Orchid
A New Yorker Best Book of the YearAn Economist Best Book of the YearThe forgotten story of a decades-long international quest for a rare and coveted orchid, chronicling the botanists, plant hunters, and collectors who relentlessly pursued it at great human and environmental cost. In 1818, a curious root arrived in a small English village, tucked—seemingly by accident—in a packing case mailed from Brazil. The amateur botanist who cultivated it soon realized that he had something remarkable on his hands: an exceptionally rare orchid never before seen on British shores. It arrived just as “orchid mania” was sweeping across Europe and North America, driving a vast plant trade that catered to wealthy private patrons as well as the fast-growing middle classes eager to display exotic flowers at home. Dubbed Cattleya labiata, the striking purple-and-crimson bloom quickly became one of the most coveted flowers on both continents. As tales of the flower’s beauty spread through scientific journals and the popular press, orchid dealers and enthusiasts initiated a massive search to recover it in its natural habitat. Sarah Bilston illuminates the story of this international quest, introducing the collectors and nurserymen who funded expeditions, the working-class plant hunters who set out to find the flower, the South American laborers and specialists with whom they contracted, the botanists who used the latest science to study orchids in all their varieties, and the writers and artists who established the near-mythic status of the “lost orchid.” The dark side of this global frenzy was the social and environmental harm it wrought, damaging fragile ecologies on which both humans and plants depended. Following the human ambitions and dramas that drove an international obsession, The Lost Orchid is a story of consumer desire, scientific curiosity, and the devastating power of colonial overreach.
Svoboda
Zásadní příčinou současných politických krizí v západních demokraciích je mylné chápání svobody. Svoboda je pojímána negativně, jako absence státní moci: Svobodní si připadáme tehdy, když můžeme říkat a dělat, cokoli se nám zachce, a vyhnout se vlivu vlády. Skutečná svoboda má však pozitivní charakter, je to svoboda pro něco: Svoboda rozvíjet se a společně sázet na budoucnost. Svoboda je hodnota, jež umožňuje existenci všech ostatních hodnot.
Timothy Snyder ve své nové knize rozvíjí myšlenky F. Fanona, V. Havla, L. Kołakowského, E. Steinové a S. Weilové. Kniha se snaží především odpovědět na otázku: Jaké postoje a praktické kroky nám dovolí zformovat typ státu, ve kterém budeme vzkvétat my i budoucí generace?
Snyderův výklad nás učí vážit si významu tradic, jež hájí pravice, ale i role státních institucí prosazovaných levicí, a rýsuje cestu k novému politickému konsenzu. Kniha je brilantním ohledáním tématu svobody v současném světě.

The Light Eaters
A narrative investigation into the new science of plant intelligence and sentience, from National Association of Science Writers Award winner and Livingston Award finalist Zoe Schlanger.
Look at the green organism across the room or through the window: the potted plant, or the grass or a tree. Think how a life spent constantly growing yet rooted in a single spot comes with tremendous challenges. To meet them, plants have come up with some of the most creative methods for surviving of any living thing – us included. Many are so ingenious that they seem nearly impossible.
Did you know plants can communicate when they are being eaten, allowing nearby plants to bolster their defences? They move and that movement stops when they are anaesthetised. They also use electricity for internal communication. They can hear the sounds of caterpillars eating. Plants can remember the last time they have been visited by a bee and how many times they have been visited – so they have a concept of time and can count. Plants can not only communicate with each other, they can also communicate with other species of plants and animals, allowing them to manipulate animals to defend or fertilise them.
So look again at the potted plant, or the grass or the tree and wonder: are plants intelligent?
Or perhaps ask an even more fundamental question: are they conscious?
The Light Eaters will completely redefine how you think about plants. Packed with the most amazing stories of the life of plants it will open your eyes to the extraordinary green life forms we share the planet with.

Punishing Putin
Undeterred by eight years of timid US sanctions, Vladimir Putin ordered his full-scale assault on Ukraine on 24 February 2022. In the hours that followed, Western leaders weaponized economic tools in a world-changing financial experiment. The goal was to sap the strength of Putin’s war machine by damaging its economy, without risking a global recession in the process.
In Punishing Putin, veteran journalist Stephanie Baker uncovers how this furious financial war has unfolded, from seizing superyachts to manipulating the global price of oil to blocking the sale of military technology. Baker reveals how the West mobilized an army of white-collar-crime investigators to crack down on illicit Russian money, targeting oligarchs and their enablers for sanctions evasion.
Filled with propulsive, fly-on-the-wall details, Punishing Putin takes us into the frantic backroom deliberations that led to a whole new era of economic statecraft and radically rearranged global alliances, influencing world order for generations to come.
Holding the Line
A true story of female-led resilience during the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 - now available for the first time in the UK.
In the summer of 1983, Barbara Kingsolver was assigned to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike as a freelance journalist. Over the year that followed, she recorded stories of striking miners and their stunningly courageous wives, sisters and daughters. She saw rights she'd taken for granted denied to people she had learned to care about, and she was determined to share their voices.
This is the true story of the courageous women and girls who held the line, who discovered themselves in their fight for rights, and of Kingsolver's commitment to showing the sparks that fly when the flint of force strikes against human mettle.

The Italian Soul
“This is a book for spiritual seekers and all who want to bring a piece of the Italian way of life into their own homes.” —James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray Take a pilgrimage of the heart, a journey toward change that will allow you to approach life with a more contemplative stance and recreate a sense of la dolce vita—the sweet life—wherever you may be. In The Italian Soul, Judith Valente shares personal stories and insights into the Italian way of life that she experienced as she strolled the streets of this charming country. Focusing on the attitudes, traditions, and practices that make the people of Italy role models for experiencing delight amid the demands and distractions of ordinary living, she observed how they have a deep appreciation for quality and aesthetics, value taking the time to savor the little moments in life, show a strong sense of community and make room for leisure and personal care, and honor their dead and have a deep respect for tradition. Additionally, it explores the contemplative practices and attitudes that seem to come naturally to a people who have made an art of living and working joyfully. A cross between a travel dispatch and a spirituality guide for seekers who eschew traditional religious practices but yearn for ways to bring more balance, sanity, and a greater sense of the transcendent into their daily lives. The Italian Soul is a book that will change the way you look at life.
Egyszerűen élni
Anselm Grün bencés szerzetes 365 lelki üzenete ahhoz nyújt ösztönzést nap mint nap, hogy átalakíthassuk az életünket. Egyszerűen akkor élünk, ha összhangban vagyunk önmagunkkal, a megélt pillanattal, és ha képesek vagyunk arra koncentrálni, ami valóban számít. A szerző azt tanácsolja, hogy reggeli szertartásaink részeként olvassuk el aznapi üzenetét, hogy az kísérőnk lehessen az előttünk álló napon. Az üzenetek segítségével könnyebben összpontosítunk életünk fontos kérdéseire a hétköznapok során is, általuk tudatosabban és egyszerűbben élhetünk, illetve könnyebben megtalálhatjuk majd az egyensúlyt a test és a lélek, a külvilág és benső világunk között. Grün szerzetes nem oktat ki, empatikusan fordul felénk a tanácsaival, mozgósítja a bennünk rejlő erőforrásokat és pozitív energiákat szabadít fel. Az üzenetek lenyűgöző keverékei az élet értelmét firtató kérdéseknek és a teljesen gyakorlatias tanácsoknak, melyeket áthat a szerző kifogyhatatlan spiritualitása, mély hite és emberszeretete. „Tehetünk egy hosszabb vándorlást a természetben és eközben elképzelhetjük: Kivándorlok a függőségeim és a magamról alkotott képek fogságából. Felszabadulok az eddig játszott szerepeimből.”
Mystické dary Ježíšova Srdce
Naše víra roste upřímným děkováním. Dostáváme dary nad naše pomyšlení. Podle Terezie z Lisieux budeme spaseni dříve, než všechny dary vůbec spočteme. Předložený text systematizuje taková obdarování, která nám vylévá Pán-Láska ze svého Srdce. Při jejich četbě začneme rozumět, že více je dary přijímat, než je chtít nejprve analyzovat. Pochopení totiž roste pospolu s vděčností a vztahovou láskou.
Cassino '44
There are no such thing as an easy victory in war but after triumph in Tunisia, the sweeping success of the Sicilian invasion, and with the Italian surrender, the Allies were confident that they would be in Rome before Christmas 1943.
And yet it didn't happen. Hitler ordered his forces to dig in and fight for every yard, thus setting the stage for one of the grimmest and most attritional campaigns of the Second World War.
By the start of 1944, the Allies found themselves coming up against the Gustav Line: a formidable barrier of wire, minefields, bunkers and booby traps, woven into a giant chain of mountains and river valleys that stretched the width of Italy where at its strongest point perched the Abbey of Monte Cassino.
It would take five long bitter winter months and the onset of summer before the Allies could finally bludgeon their way north and capture Rome. By then, more than 75,000 troops and civilians had been killed and the historic abbey and entire towns and villages had been laid waste.
Following a rich cast of characters from both sides - from frontline infantry to aircrew, from clerks to battlefield commanders, and from politicians and civilians caught up in the middle of the maelstrom - James Holland has drawn widely on diaries, letters and contemporary sources to write the definitive account of this brutal battle. The result is a compelling and often heart-breaking narrative, told in the moment, as the events played out, and from the perspective of those who lived, fought and died there.

Tažní ptáci - Příběhy českého exilu a imigrace
Migrace. V posledních letech zaznívá toto slovo ve veřejném prostoru čím dál častěji. V projevech některých politiků se stává strašákem a hrozbou. Přitom se ale lidé stěhovali do jiných zemí odjakživa, a to z nejrůznějších důvodů. Stejně jako dnes je mohla na cestu vyhnat válka nebo útlak v původní vlasti, ale mohli také vyrazit do světa za lepšími možnostmi či za prací. Za minulého režimu se odcházelo za svobodou „na Západ“, dnes se cizinci stěhují za svobodou k nám.
Začtěte se do životních příběhů exulantů a imigrantů – tažných ptáků. Mohou nám mnohé napovědět – nejen o daném historickém období a stavu společnosti, ale i o nás samotných…
