Belonging without Barriers
Belonging without Barriers casts a vision of inclusion and full belonging within our churches and other Christian communities for those with additional needs. Brading, Bunyan, and Wood begin by exploring the theological basis for this vision, aiming to inspire the reader with God’s love for the weak and marginalised in society. They then move into a practical section outlining a range of different experiences we are likely to encounter, including autism, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities. Each chapter contains up-to-date research, personal accounts, interviews, and a range of specific, actionable ideas, including changes that any individual within the church could make. This book shares a vision not just for inclusion, but for full integration and belonging for those with additional needs. Throughout, the emphasis is that this is an ‘every believer ministry’ as we all grow in love together as Christ’s disciples wherever he has put us.
Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises
We live in a time of abundance and comfort for some, scarcity and hardship for others—a period that seems to have all of us teetering on the brink. Certainly, there is no lack of modern crises, but do we possess the wisdom to overcome them, and where might we seek that wisdom? Ancient Wisdoms for Modern Crises: Learning From Laozi's "Daodejing" looks to the Daodejing, a text written during the late Zhou Dynasty (600–400 BCE), for guidance. One of the core treatises of Eastern philosophy, it advocates humility, simplicity, and sustainable living. As both a personal and political philosophy, it is radically gentle, encouraging readers to embrace humility, modesty, compassion, and selflessness while simultaneously resisting the urge to conquer, control, and dominate—teachings that can help each of us navigate contemporary life. Finding solutions to such difficult problems requires all the wisdom, ancient and modern, that humans can muster. Replete with the author's fresh translation of the eighty-one-verse Daodejing, this book touches on topics ranging from environmentalism and human suffering to biodiversity loss and the rise of authoritarianism in an effort to forge a more restrained, sustainable, just, supportive, and compassionate society.
Osamělí hrdinové
Všichni jsme výjimeční. Když najdeme své autentické já, konečně budeme šťastní. Úspěch a životní spokojenost si musíme zařídit sami, nikdo to za nás neudělá. Máme právo žít si život po svém.
Kolikrát jsme už takové poučky slyšeli a denně slýcháme… Jsou to všechno dobře znějící rady, ale jako spousta dobrých rad i ony mají svůj háček: nakonec budeme na všechno sami. Pavel Pospěch se v knize Osamělí hrdinové věnuje stále významnějšímu fenoménu individualismu a hledá jeho společenské kořeny a dopady na náš každodenní život. Vysvětlení, která nabízí, nejsou generační, psychologická ani technologická, nýbrž sociologická. Za nárůst posedlosti sebou samými nemohou ani zhýčkané mladé generace, ani všudypřítomné sociální platformy. Individualismus je produktem specifické kultury, v níž jsme vychováváni od dětství a vězíme v ní hlouběji, než bychom si mysleli. Kultura individualismu z nás dělá osamělé hrdiny vlastních životů a stále více nám znemožňuje žít smysluplný život s lidmi okolo nás.
Císař Karel IV. - Postrach světa
V nejnovější biografii českého krále a římsko-německého císaře Karla IV. autor pojímá 14. století jako dramatické období, plné politických a hospodářských krizí, kulturního neklidu a hledání nového funkčního způsobu správy římsko-německé říše v severní Itálii, jižní Francii a v Německu, jenž vyvrcholil přijetím Zlaté buly v roce 1356. Kniha je založena na důkladné znalosti a mistrné interpretaci vyprávěcích a diplomatických pramenů, stejně jako na kritickém přístupu k dosavadnímu, téměř nepřebernému historickému bádání.
Rader nahlíží osobu Karla IV. komplexním způsobem, přičemž důraz klade jak na jeho říšskou vládu, tak na její propojení se strukturálně zcela odlišným panováním v českém království. Mnohem více než dřívější bádání klade důraz na skutečnost, že Karel začal programově budovat novou říšskou rezidenci v Praze a s Prahou spojoval budoucnost římsko-německé říše. Stejně tak si všímá císařovy podpory a mecenátu umění a vzdělání. Zároveň však nijak nezamlčuje ani temné stránky Karlova politického života, jeho čirý pragmatismus, podíl na pronásledování kacířů a vypočítavý přístup k židovskému obyvatelstvu v mnoha německých městech.

The Age of Diagnosis
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn.
Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients.
Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.
Statecraft
How do states actually exercise power in an age of chaos?
From top defense analyst Dr. Jack Watling, Statecraft reveals the hidden mechanics of global influence. While we watch the headlines, Watling takes us inside the bunkers and wood-paneled offices where the real decisions are made.
In this urgent analysis, you will discover:
The Iran Paradox: How a sanctioned nation controls global energy prices despite US military might.
The Russia-Ukraine Lesson: Why a superpower struggled against a smaller neighbor in the opening months of the invasion.
The Aircraft Carrier Dilemma: Why the UK spends billions on hardware it can barely support at sea.
The Future of Taiwan: What the shifting ‘rules of power’ mean for the next great flashpoint.
Middle Powers: How do smaller countries build leverage and stay off the menu?
Whether it’s economic alliances, sea power, or the latest military technology, Watling provides a powerful new lens to understand a world that feels increasingly out of control.
State Matters
Why does the state matter to its people? How do people know and experience the state? And how did the state come to be both desired and dreaded by its subjects? This study offers a historically grounded social theoretical account of state consolidation in Iraq, from the foundation of the country as a League of Nations British Mandate in 1921 through to the post-2003 era. Through analysis of key historical episodes of state consolidation (and fragmentation) during the past century, Nida Alahmad argues that consolidation rests on two sequential and interdependent factors. First, domination: the state's capacity to dominate land and population. Second, legitimation: whereby the state is accepted and expected by the population to be the final arbitrator of collective life based on common principles. Moving between intellectual traditions and disciplines, Alahmad demonstrates that a theorization of state consolidation is a theorization of the modern state.
Pandemic of Lunacy
"Brilliant, the corrective we need to pull the nation back from the abyss of unreason."—Dean KoontzA bestselling moral philosopher dissects and explodes the crazy—but deadly serious—ideas that have spread, bred, and metastasized throughout contemporary society. What is happening to the world? Why does it seem like everyone has gone insane? Why are so many things that seemingly everyone believed the day before yesterday suddenly held to be retrograde, hateful, or even criminal? And why are things that everyone seemed to view as lunacy the day before yesterday suddenly taught or even required? In Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy, University of Texas philosopher J. Budziszewski patiently explains the delusions that beset us. Ranging over the topics of morality and happiness, politics and government, family and sexuality, the real and the unreal, and God and religion, Budziszewski makes the case for sanity in commonsense language accessible to all. Pandemic of Lunacy will be treasured by any who are troubled or confused, any who wonder whether the world has gone crazy or whether they have, and any who feel the need for a trustworthy guide in a topsy-turvy age.
Vikings in North America
It was the Vikings, not Christopher Columbus, who made the first European discovery of America. It was the Vikings, not the Pilgrim Fathers, who were the first Europeans settlers in America, and it was probably the Vikings who first used the name America. Around a thousand years ago the Vikings crossed the North Atlantic and established their settlements on the American continent. Yet today both Europe and North America treat the Vikings in North America as if it were no more than a curious footnote to their histories – as if the Vikings made just a handful of voyages with little impact. This book challenges this outdated view. We now know that the Vikings travelled widely in North America, both on the east coast and in the high Arctic and Hudson Bay. Today we realise that Viking presence in America lasted nearly five centuries, and its legacy inspired much of the post-Columban exploration of North America.
Zooarchaeology of Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Southwestern Sicily
Zooarchaeology of Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Southwestern Sicily addresses the topic of ancient Greek sacrificial practices that were performed in the western colonies of Sicily between the 7th and 3rd centuries BC. The approach is primarily centered on zooarchaeology, focusing on the analysis of faunal assemblages derived from three crucial sacred areas associated with the outstanding poleis of Selinus and Akragas. Adopting a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, the study incorporates current methods in zooarchaeology alongside taphonomic investigations to explore how animals were used for ritual purposes. By repositioning animals within their central role in ancient sacrificial practice, the results have enriched our understanding of the various ritual activities that took place in Selinus and Akragas, providing a more complete view of how religious beliefs were expressed by the ancient inhabitants of these cities. The analyses have confirmed customary patterns of animal sacrifice as reported by literary and epigraphic sources (e.g. thysia and holocaust) as well as shedding light on less frequent ritual practices followed by ancient Greek communities (e.g. foundation sacrifices). Thanks to the large quantity of remains analyzed, the results go beyond the characterization of the sacrificial practice performed in the two poleis, providing significant insights from an extra-regional perspective involving the wider ancient Greek world. The book constitutes the first synthesis on the zooarchaeology of Greek Sicily, providing a substantial amount of new data which fills a noted void in zooarchaeological research due to the still limited use of faunal assemblage analysis in defining the religious landscape of ancient Greek Sicily.

Jolted
Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom and lists of the “top reasons people quit their jobs” would have us believe that people quit when the toxic elements of their jobs grow too big or when they spot a better professional opportunity. But that’s only half the story.
In reality, quitting is often triggered by a single event, inside or outside our jobs, that stops us in our tracks and causes us to rethink our relationship with work. These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives today. Jolts represent pivotal moments in our careers, and yet all too often, we respond to them in ways that harm our well-being and success.
In Jolted, Klotz breaks down the different types of jolts we encounter and provides a road map to help us navigate them in ways that improve, rather than derail, our pursuit of the good life through our work.

Grimsby
This book tells the story of the making of Grimsby. It describes how the town grew ‘on the ground’ and so helps to explain Grimsby’s present-day physical character. The story is an intriguing one and includes colourful controversies and conflicts that influenced the town’s development. The story begins with the Viking foundation of Grimsby. Then, in the years after the Norman Conquest the town became a successful trading community and port. This was followed by a long period of decline. The town’s fortunes were revived with the coming of the railway in 1848 and the constructions of an extensive dock system. There then followed a massive increase in trade, and the foundation of the port’s modern fishing industry. In the process, it attracted immigration. This new population needed somewhere to live. Consequently, land was quickly covered with houses. The long-term effect of this period of extensive and intensive building – which is described in this book – was to determine to a large extent the shape and character of the modern town.

Searching for Normal
A Sunday Times Book of the Year'A welcome antidote to the dangerous cult of overdiagnosis and the commodification of normal distress' PHILIPPA PERRYHow can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distres? ore and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treate? n Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.
