1945: The Reckoning
'I love how Phil Craig gave me perspectives on the Second World War that I had never accessed before, and the personal stories bring colonial history to life so engagingly. This book is a triumph.'Jane Caro'An ambitious project impressively navigated with great storytelling, interweaving analysis and anecdote in a documentary style. Dunkirk, Lend Lease, Singapore, Belsen, the Arctic convoys, Chandra Bose, etc, are all connected but few historians rise to the challenge - or perhaps wish to stray far from 'favourite memories.' Chris Masters 'A riveting new account of a forgotten, if not hidden, history in the final months of the second world war. As all the best histories should, it reveals aspects of our national war-time story that have been overlooked for many years. For its new perspective, grounded in deep research. Australian readers will be alternately enthralled and enraged by 1945 The Reckoning at the naked exercise of imperial and commercial power in our region that Phil reveals, in the final months of a war we were told was for liberation and self determination.'Prof Jenny Hocking, Emeritus Prof Monash University. 'Engrossing, good natured and perceptive...His style is conversational, like a popular podcaster, but never glib or shrill. His judgments are often understated but shrewd...Craig's fashionably inclusive approach does not exclude conservative, collaborationist voices. Instead, the author seeks to understand them within their particular social and historical context. A solid and measured history in which Craig tells big stories through poignant images.'Mark Dapin, The Australian'It's an epic canvas, ambitious, in some ways even Tolstoy-esque. Along the way Craig incorporates the tales of ordinary people - such as a very astute English nurse - caught up in extraordinary times. On both the narrative and thematic level this is skilfully told history for the general reader.' The Sydney Morning Herald'Craig's vision is as global as was the war. His kaleidoscopic approach combines viewpoints from various theatres of war: for a few pages we are immersed in Burma, then we are teleported to Borneo, Singapore and, as the conflict spreads, Tokyo, London, Yalta and Formosa... He traces historical patterns by threading individual stories into a coherent and satisfying narrative, and he brings one other great gift to his task, a gift honed in his TV incarnation - a highly developed visual sensibility. It is easy to imagine this book being turned into a box-office triumph. As a parting gift to curious readers, the closing pages reveal the personal connection that explains why Craig was prompted to tell this epic story, with all its subplots. But no spoilers here... buy the book!' Ken Haley, Inside Story 'An unrelenting account of terror; example follows example of brutality and barbarity. There are accounts of battles; of bodies blown to bits; of atrocities and wanton killing committed by both sides - decapitation, head-hunting and the Allies paying for it. Yet in his account of these events, Phil Craig pays particular attention to the kindness, charity and humanity of his protagonists and others who occur along the way.' Braham Dabscheck, New Town Review of Books
Mellon vs. Churchill
The never-before-told story of the epic battle of wills between Andrew Mellon and Winston Churchill, as they debated the repayment of the enormous sums loaned by America to Great Britain during World War I. *A Financial Times Best History Book of the Summer* "A gripping yarn." —The Economist "An engaging narrative.” —The Wall Street JournalAndrew Mellon, one of the most accomplished businessmen of his era, is almost unknown today. To this shy, diffident (but brilliant) man fell the daunting task of collecting the war debts from European governments still devastated by World War I and struggling to recover economically. Dealing with the U.S. Congress and the heads of foreign governments on the world stage became one of the great adventures of his life. Winston Churchill is one of the best-known figures in history. Mellon vs. Churchill presents Churchill through a different lens, focusing on his service as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Great Britain was the largest debtor to the United States. That he became the most vocal critic of American foreign policy during that time is a scarcely told chapter of economic history—and his long and contentious debate with Mellon has seldom been explored. Yet, during the five years that Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1924-1929), Mellon was his counterpart at the United States Treasury, and their debate and fierce differences of opinion about the handling of what Churchill called “the monstrous war debts” made frequent headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. No mention of any of their five meetings are included in the official biographies of either man. Now these confrontations are brought to vivid life in Mellon vs. Churchill, as are many other vignettes from their very public, but largely forgotten, rivalry. Mellon vs. Churchill brings the reader inside the adventurous lives of these two great public figures—men who were not afraid to take huge risks to pursue their grand ambitions.
Dogmatics III
One of the great twentieth-century works of theology, Emil Brunner''s Dogmatics series presents a profoundly biblical systematic theology. Finding a path between Barth and Bultmann, Brunner explores key doctrines such as the doctrine of God, creation and redemption, and the doctrine of the church and of faith. These foundational texts from a leading theologian of the 20th century are crucial for scholars and students, illuminating how modern Protestant theology was formed in the last century. The third and final volume focusses on the theology of the Church as a reflection of God''s self-revelation through the Holy Spirit, and an eternal consummation of Divine self-communication. Drawing together the understanding gleaned in the previous two volumes, Brunner addresses the nature of the church and faith to bring his systematic biblical theology into the experiences of his readers.
Over the Wall
‘A gripping account of the cloak and dagger game played in Berlin and beyond by Britain’s shadow warriors. A knife-edge Cold War showdown. A game of secrets, masterfully told.’ – Damien Lewis, Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling AuthorThe British Commanders’-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany, better known as BRIXMIS, was arguably the most successful and enduring intelligence organisation of the whole Cold War. Its three-man teams maintained a permanent presence behind the Iron Curtain, patrolling East German soil every single day from 1946 until the fall of the Berlin Wall changed the face of post-war Europe.In a follow-up to The Deadly Game, Will Britten, a career Military Intelligence Officer, treats us to a fresh, and in places hard-hitting look at his experience as one of the last generations of Cold War warriors. Over the Wall details reconnaissance missions in the depths of the DDR, targeting by Stasi surveillance teams, and fascinating personal contacts with ‘the enemy’. Beyond this, he puts forward the shocking proposition that Moscow had almost certainly compromised BRIXMIS through their own agents operating within the wide US military system.Providing a rare insight into the activities of the GRU-staffed Soviet military teams deployed reciprocally in West Germany, Over the Wall ultimately poses an intriguing question: in the final balance whose missions were operationally more effective?
Luftwaffe Bombers vs British AA Defences
An illustrated study of the British Army’s Anti-Aircraft (AA) Command’s performance against the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. When the Battle of Britain commenced in July 1940, the Luftwaffe committed more than 1,200 medium bombers, 300 Ju 87 Stukas and 760 Bf 109 and Bf 110 fighters to the campaign. The response from British AA Command mustered 359 4.5in. guns, 666 3.7in. guns and 226 3in. guns, as well as 3,538 light and medium AA guns to tackle low-level Luftwaffe raiders, but was under-gunned and overstretched, struggling to provide sufficient weapons for every key site. Nevertheless, AA gunners shot down some 300 German aircraft by the end of the Battle of Britain on 31 October 1940, upping this count to 578 before the Blitz finished on 11 May 1941, and leading an estimated 48 per cent of Luftwaffe bombers to turn back because of heavy AA fire.In this action-packed study, World War 2 aviation expert Donald Nijboer examines the capabilities of both sides, and explores how British AA Command not only shot down so many enemy aircraft, but also forced them to fly higher, broke up their formations and decreased their accuracy. Tactical diagrams, maps, archival photographs and newly commissioned artwork provide additional insight and detail, helping to bring the bitter struggle over the skies of southern England to life.
Your Superpower
We all have something that sets us apart - Tasha's superpower is her identity as a Deaf woman, what's your? asha Ghouri has been watched by millions of people as part of the nation's most popular shows. But what sets Tasha apart is her superpower. Something that once made her feel like an outcast is now her greatest source of strength and community. In Your Superpower, Tasha will describe how she overcame hurdles growing up to feeling confident in embracing who she is now. She will interview people from all walks of life to detail disabilities and differences of all kinds, such as blindness, alopecia, acne, anxiety, and will show how you can use your difference to make a difference, and how to be unapologetically yourself. From love, respect, growth, determination and responsibility, Tasha will reveal how she embraces her superpower and encourage you to love, and use yours, for good, too.
God is an Englishman
''Allows us to understand the profound, and often profoundly beneficial, impact of Christianity'' Anthony SeldonChristianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being lost?Bijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, in areas ranging from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its influence, he contends, has been enormous, largely benign, and shouldn’t be lightly abandoned.Ending with a rousing call to retain Christianity, rightly understood, as a way of dealing with both the eternal questions of the human condition, as well as the malaises of modernity, this is an erudite and tender tribute to our Christian history and heritage.

Velká malá Terezie, 2.vydání
40 krátkých úvah nad autentickými slovy Terezie z Lisieux – nad „už ano a ještě ne“ plnosti křesťanského života.
Terezie nabízí nemocnému světu, zmítanému strachem a úzkostí, terapii lásky a důvěry v Boha. Boří obraz Boha, kvůli němuž se lidé často odvracejí od víry. Terezie nás naopak zve, abychom navrátili evangelium do centra svého života a spojili svůj život s Bohem.

Jak dál po křtu dítěte
Jak můžou rodiče a kmotři pomoci dětem a dospívajícím s tím, aby důvěřovali Bohu a navázali vztah s Ježíšem Kristem?
Odpověď není jednoduchá. Celé dobrodružství ovšem začíná křtem a pokračuje. Křesťanství není kouzelný proutek, který by chránil člověka před omylem. Je to spíš velká opora, jež stojí na Boží lásce a věrnosti a na zkušenosti církve ze dvou tisíciletí dějin. Díky němu zakoušíme nezištnou lásku, kterou miluje Bůh, milosrdenství, které jinde takovou měrou nenajdeme, i lásku těch, kdo žijí z Boží lásky. Inspiruje nás, abychom neopláceli zlým za zlé, ale odpouštěli, abychom příliš nekalkulovali, ale nezištně rozdávali lásku, abychom žili bohatý život i v nesnázích.
Autor nedává univerzální recept, „jak na to“. Ukazuje na zásadní věci, na které je dobré dbát, aby dar křtu nebyl zbytečně zmařen. Součástí knížky je i užitečná příloha se základními texty.

Školské hodnotenie, skúšky a testy
Prvý slovenský výkladový slovník najdôležitejších pojmov z oblasti školského hodnotenia, skúšok a testov. Obsahuje 423 hesiel s výkladom, komentármi a praktickými odporúčaniami pre učiteľov základných a stredných škôl.
Nejde o vedecký text. Kniha je určená pedagógom, ktorých nezaujímajú terminologické nuansy a presné citácie, ale praktické odporúčania, ako postupovať pri hodnotení výkonov žiakov. Nájdu ich v komentároch k jednotlivým heslám.
Hodnotenie výkonov žiakov sa týka všetkých škôl, všetkých učiteľov, všetkých predmetov – patrí medzi kľúčové kompetencie učiteľa. Je preto prekvapujúce, že príslušná legislatíva je v zlom stave, že v rámci prípravy učiteľov je hodnoteniu venovaná nedostatočná pozornosť a že na školách vládne v tejto oblasti priveľká ľubovôľa. Aj preto prichádza kniha, ktorej ambíciou je v tejto téme „poupratovať“.
V obdobných slovníkoch sú heslá zvyčajne radené podľa abecedy. Je to praktické, keď chceme vyhľadať konkrétne heslo, ale má to aj nevýhody: takéto slovníky nemožno čítať ako bežnú knihu či učebnicu, pretože poradie hesiel je nelogické. Autor preto zvolil iný prístup: heslá sú rozdelené do 18 tematických kapitol a v rámci nich sú zoradené do zmysluplného poradia. Knihu tak možno čítať aj ako súvislý študijný text.
Az elengedés művészete
Az elengedés művészete az elmédben való rendrakásról szól. Arról, hogy többé ne a múlton rágódj, vagy egy olyan jövőn, amely lehet, hogy sosem következik be, hanem légy jelen a pillanatban, amelyre valódi befolyással bírsz.
Sokunk elméje egy zajos hely, pedig a legbiztonságosabb térnek kellene lennie. Állítsd helyre a belső békéd! Ha folyton idegeskedsz, agyalsz és képtelen vagy ellazulni, neked szól ez a könyv!
Nick Trenton felfedi, hogyan kezeld a belső kritikusodat és miként alakítsd át a belső világképedet. A könyv olyan témákat ölel fel, mint az önismeret, az elfogadás, a megbocsátás, a hála, a tudatos jelenlét, az együttérzés és az alkalmazkodókészség, illetve megmutatja, hogy mindezek miként segíthetik elő a belső béke és a céltudatosság érzésének kialakulását. A könyv ezenfelül az elengedéssel kapcsolatos gyakori mítoszokra és tévhitekre is kitér, például arra az elképzelésre, hogy az elengedés feladást vagy felejtést jelentene, és egy olyan árnyaltabb és támogatóbb nézőpontot kínál, amely egyaránt tiszteletben tartja a múltbeli, jelenbeli és jövőbeli énünket.
A kötet pszichológiailag bizonyított javaslatokat kínál arra vonatkozóan, miként lépj át az állandó rágódásból és agyalásból a cselekvésbe, bemutatva:
• az ítélkezésmentesség gyakorlását és az érzelmeid megfigyelését;
• hogyan kezeld a belső kritikusodat és alakítsd át a belső világképedet;
• az agyadban megbúvó, sürgetéssel és veszéllyel kapcsolatos mérgező hiedelmek feloldását;
• a szabadulást a mérgező emberektől, a határhúzás és a kötődésmentesség gyakorlását;
• az elengedés pszichológiai stratégiáit hatékony gyakorlatokkal;
• a tökéletesség iránti vágyad legyőzését és a kiválóság iránti vágyad felébresztését.
A kötet az érzelmi terhek elengedésével kapcsolatban újszerű nézőpontot kínál olvasói számára. Függetlenül attól, hogy egy korábbi kapcsolatod elengedésével küszködsz, vagy a negatív gondolati mintáidtól igyekszel megszabadulni, ez a könyv számodra kötelező olvasmány.
Vidět a být viděn
Vidět a být viděn: Vystupování z psychického útočiště je druhou u nás přeloženou knihou Johna Steinera (první monografií byla úspěšná Psychická útočiště: Patologické organizace u psychotických, neurotických a hraničních pacientů, Triton, 2018). Steiner v ní zkoumá ty situace v klinické práci, v nichž se pacient cítí ve slepé uličce a kdy hrozí selhání analytického procesu. Dochází k tomu v podmínkách opouštění ochrany psychického útočiště, v nichž musí čelit novým úzkostem a komplikacím.
Kniha je rozdělena do tří částí, které zahrnují například témata zahanbení, stud a ponížení, bezmoc, moc a dominance, truchlení, melancholie a nutkání k opakování. Jasné formulace a styl psaní, vycházející především z klinické práce, zprostředkují čtenáři hloubku autorova vhledu, jeho citlivost a skutečný zájem o pacienty. Steinerovo kreativní a integrační úsilí umožňuje nové pohledy, založené na předchozích příspěvcích psychoanalytiků včetně Freuda, Kleinové, Rosenfelda a Biona. Kniha jistě zaujme psychoanalytiky, klinické psychoterapeuty a všechny, kteří se zajímají o psychoanalýzu.
Čestný člen České psychoanalytické společnosti John Steiner je jednou z velkých osobností světové psychoanalýzy. Dlouhou dobu působil jako tréninkový a supervizní analytik Britské analytické společnosti, v současnosti stále superviduje, přednáší a píše. Steinerův přínos k psychoanalýze se odráží nejen v jeho publikacích, ale i v tom, že jeho koncepty, například „patologická organizace osobnosti“, „psychická útočiště“, „vystupování z psychického útočiště“, „vidět a být viděn“ a „interpretace zaměřené na pacienta a na analytika“, se staly běžnou součástí analytické terminologie. Kromě autorství do češtiny přeložených knih je editorem několika odborných publikací a autorem řady klinických prací publikovaných v odborném časopise IJPA. Jeho poslední kniha nese název Illusion, Disillusion, and Irony in Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2020).

Undaunted Joy
Does joy just seem too difficult to come by these days? Does it seem irresponsible or naïve? Maybe you don''t feel like you can be joyful, don''t know how to, or don''t deserve to? In this collection of short essays on defiant joy, Shemaiah Gonzalez reflects on how she gradually learned to see joy not as an indulgence but as a necessity—a way of life and the fruit of faith. But her journey to joy was long. It had been so absent throughout much of her life that it felt foreign at first.Through her own stories, Gonzalez discovers along with you how joy is the fruit of knowing God. Like God, once you start looking for joy, you might start finding it everywhere. Like God, sometimes it initially feels unsafe."Perhaps these stories, of finding joy in laundry and Van Gogh''s paintings of sunflowers, in daydreaming, and even in the darkest of places, will allow you to see life anew. Perhaps you will, like me, no longer wait for the big things to happen but will find there is abundance today. Each day holds joy in the mundane and the magnificent—we just need to learn to see."Over the course of these 37 essays, Gonzalez, vulnerable and lively, will draw you into a new way of seeing that will revolutionize your everyday. It''s time to claim God''s goodness and share it with abandon, not in spite of the brokenness of the world, but because of it.It''s time to live joyously.

The Reason for Church
Rediscover the goodness and beauty of the Body of Christ.The evangelical church is hemorrhaging. Over 40 million Americans have dechurched in the last 25 years alone, and multiple generations have been raised to believe the most spiritual thing they can do is follow God by following their heart - right out of the church. Yet, this shift is happening right as society is hitting record levels of loneliness, stress, and anxiety. In The Reason for Church, pastor Brad Edwards connects the dots of our current church crisis and provides compelling reasons to come back.In part 1, Edwards shows how individualistic beliefs make church implausible and compromise our spiritual formation:Marketplace logic and consumeristic approaches to discipleshipIntuitional spirituality and therapy speakSocial media''s distortion of what is true, good, and beautifulPerformative politics and culture warsVirtuous victimhood, the decline of trust, and the rise of powerThese chapters show why individualism won''t satisfy and can''t provide the refuge it promises.In part 2, Edwards uses personal examples, church history, non-Western expressions of faith, and Scripture to show how the church is our existentially satisfying alternative to individualism. Equipped with an institutionally robust vision, we will rediscover the church as God''s spiritual greenhouse where soul-tired sojourners and lonely exiles are restored and repurposed for life in the world.The Reason for Church offers an honest-yet-hopeful vision for church as a necessary institution. With radical individualism tearing us apart, we need compelling reasons to fall back in love with Christ''s bride, now more than ever.
The Project
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER''Essential and authoritative. Sheds serious light on the dark money, dark ideas & dark souls propelling Trump’s cruelty and betrayal of the USA'' - James O''BrienIn the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, news spread about Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page document published by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The debates—and anxiety—surrounding this initiative have only increased as authors of the Project assume positions of power in the second Trump administration.So, what is Project 2025, exactly? Who wrote it, what does it actually say, and what does it mean for everyday people around the world, across the political spectrum, in the years to come?In The Project, award-winning journalist David A. Graham offers much-needed context and distills the essential elements of this sprawling document. Breaking down the Project’s strategy for transforming—and radically empowering—the executive branch, Graham then explains what the architects behind Project 2025 would do with that power: restoring traditional gender norms and the supremacy of the nuclear family, decimating the civil service, performing mass deportations, reducing corporate regulation and worker protections, and more.Project 2025 is the intellectual blueprint for the new administration, Graham argues, and its tenets should not be legible only to policy wonks. Authoritative yet highly accessible, The Project demystifies it for those whose lives it will impact most.
Všude samá lež a jiné pravdy
Eufemismy, polopravdy, fake news, konspirační teorie a propaganda – všude kolem nás se rozprostírá spletitá síť lží. Mohou být nehorázné a provokativní, ale i nenápadné, leč vtíravé. Ovládají média, diskurz a veřejnou debatu. K jejich rozpoznání a zachycení pravdy je zapotřebí bystrého oka a sluchu.
Konrad Paul Liessmann ve svém díle kriticky analyzuje současnost, s odstupem, jemnou ironií a jistou nadsázkou. Zachycuje přitom mnohotvárné panorama naší společnosti a rozkrývá mozaiku jejích omylů a sebeklamů.
As Gods Among Men
"In this masterly book, [Alfani] offers an insightful long-run perspective and fascinating lessons for the future. A must-read!"—Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the Twenty-First CenturyA sweeping narrative that shows how the rich historically justified themselves by helping their societies in times of crisis, why they no longer do, and what that may mean for social stabilityThe rich have always fascinated, sometimes in problematic ways. Medieval thinkers feared that the super-rich would act 'as gods among men’; much more recently Thomas Piketty made wealth central to discussions of inequality. In this book, Guido Alfani offers a history of the rich and super-rich in the West, examining who they were, how they accumulated their wealth and what role they played in society. Covering the last thousand years, with frequent incursions into antiquity, and integrating recent research on economic inequality, Alfani finds—despite the different paths to wealth in different eras—fundamental continuities in the behaviour of the rich and public attitudes towards wealth across Western history. His account offers a novel perspective on current debates about wealth and income disparity. Alfani argues that the position of the rich and super-rich in Western society has always been intrinsically fragile; their very presence has inspired social unease. In the Middle Ages, an excessive accumulation of wealth was considered sinful; the rich were expected not to appear to be wealthy. Eventually, the rich were deemed useful when they used their wealth to help their communities in times of crisis. Yet in the twenty-first century, Alfani points out, the rich and the super-rich—their wealth largely preserved through the Great Recession and COVID-19—have been exceptionally reluctant to contribute to the common good in times of crisis, rejecting even such stopgap measures as temporary tax increases. History suggests that this is a troubling development—for the rich, and for everyone else.
