You Are Not Your Limits
THE NEW YEAR PERSONAL GROWTH BOOK!'His joy from changing people's lives is so inspiring' DAVINA MCCALL'Fantasic, inspiring read. I hope everyone goes out and buys this book' BRYONY GORDON*Described by This Morning as 'the most inspiring man on social media'*Includes a Foreword by Lauren Steadman MBE and an Introduction by Ben ShephardOn a summer's day in 2023, Javeno Mclean was about to train a young girl called Kiera who was recovering from a brain tumour. After chemotherapy damaged her nerves, Kiera was unsure if she would ever be able to walk again. With a good feeling about Kiera's progress, Javeno decided to record her arrival... She gets out of the front passenger seat of a car without any help. She puts one hand on top of the door and one on the frame before pulling herself up. I'm encouraging her: 'Go on, K-Boogie!' Kiera steadies herself, gets her balance and walks across the pavement to J7. I'm next to her, but I didn't need to support her. She puts her hand on the door ... and opens it. The video has since been watched over 23 million times. After leaving professional sports to run fitness classes in the local community, Javeno realised he wanted to be a different kind of trainer. He envisioned a truly inclusive health centre: one where anybody could come and be empowered to soar, no matter what challenges they may be facing in life. This book is the story of how that vision became a reality, what it's taught Javeno about love, community and resilience. But mostly it's about the people who came through the door. Who, with their positivity, strength and determination to not to accept any limits placed on them, have made the health centre the magical place it is today and inspired millions around the globe.
Chain of Ideas
A revelatory account of the racist conspiracy theory that now pervades global politics – from the prize-winning author of the million-copy bestseller How To Be an Antiracist‘An essential framework for parsing current events . . . meticulously researched . . . worthwhile and accessible . . . also offers a modicum of hope’ Arwa Mahdawi, GuardianThroughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies ‘great replacement theory’, which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities. In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age. But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik’s massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today. PRAISE FOR IBRAM X. KENDI:'The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind' The New York Times on How To Be an Antiracist'One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race' Guardian'A kind, dignified, preternaturally wise teacher' GQ'One of today’s most visible and sought-after public intellectuals' Wall Street Journal'One of the US’s most respected scholars of race and history' Afua Hirsch'[Kendi] is not a historian fearful of upsetting orthodoxies or questioning fixed reputations' David Olusoga

Cleethorpes
Cleethorpes was originally three small farming and fishing hamlets on the Lincolnshire coast, which later combined and eventually developed into a thriving seaside resort. This book examines the early history of the hamlets, and the reader is taken on a journey through their years as a quiet bathing place, when transport posed difficulties to potential holidaymakers. The railway revolutionised Cleethorpes, making it a favourite venue for the inhabitants of nearby manufacturing districts. The railway company became Cleethorpes' leading developer, creating a bustling Victorian resort. In the 20th century the Cleethorpes municipal authority superseded the railway company as resort developer, carrying out an enterprising programme of resort expansion. The author describes the resort's attractions, which in its heyday lured multitudes of visitors. In later decades, Cleethorpes' trade fluctuated dramatically, but there are promising signs of an up-turn in the resort's prospects as it enters the 21st century. Thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated, Cleethorpes: The Creation of a Seaside Resort is essential reading for residents and visitors alike.
Psychopathy in Adolescence and its Consequences in Adulthood
What becomes of young people who display strong psychopathy traits? By combining cutting-edge research with interviews from over 500 incarcerated youth assessed for psychopathy and involved in serious, violent offenses, this book investigates whether they are destined to persist in crime throughout their lives. Evan McCuish explores not only long-term offending patterns but also psychopathy's influence on relationships, employment, substance use, and mortality. Through this, the text clarifies the meaning of the clinical construct of psychopathy and debunks myths and misconceptions popularised by the true crime genre. This allows readers to more reliably interpret the accuracy of popular culture descriptions of psychopathy. Synthesising over 100 years of research, this book defines psychopathy and contributes new knowledge to the field. It is ideal for students, scholars, and practitioners in psychology, criminology, social work, and law seeking further insight into this intriguing disorder.

Unity through Particularism
Why do supposedly accountability-enhancing electoral reforms often fail in young democracies? How can legislators serve their constituents when parties control the necessary resources? Unity through Particularism sheds light on these questions and more by explaining how parties can use personal vote-seeking incentives in order to decrease intra-party dissent. Studying a unique electoral reform in Mexico, the book provides a detailed description of how institutional incentives can conflict. It draws on a variety of rich, original data sources on legislative behavior and organization in 20 Mexican states to develop a novel explanation of how electoral reforms can amplify competing institutional incentives. In settings where legislative rules and candidate selection procedures favor parties, legislators may lack the resources necessary to build voter support. If this is the case, party leaders can condition access to these resources on loyalty to the party's political agenda.

Stručné dejiny Grónska
Príbeh Grónska písali Inuiti, Vikingovia a napríklad aj misionári z Moravy. Teraz sa oň začal celý svet zaujímať v súvislosti s výrokmi výstredne konajúceho amerického prezidenta Trumpa. Obyvateľom Grónska aj nám samotným môže byť na prospech, ak sa pokúsime ich osudy a dejiny pochopiť dôkladnejšie - aj vďaka knihe Petra Koubského, ktorý zrozumiteľne a s citom pre súvislosti rozpráva príbeh ostrova, ktorý hýbe svetovou politikou.
Grónsko je hranicou nášho sveta, za ktorou už nič nie je. Je miestom konfliktu záujmov, hodnôt a veľmocí. Nikde inde na svete pritom nežije trvale na takom veľkom území tak málo ľudí. Nikde inde sa schopnosť ľudí prežiť v drsných podmienkach nepreveruje tak dôkladne a po taký dlhý čas. Príbeh Grónska od ľadovej doby po súčasnosť sa nepodobá ničomu, na čo sme z historických rozprávaní zvyknutí. Nie je súvislý, ale prerušovaný. Na najväčšom ostrove sveta občas zmizlo osídlenie a nežil tam vôbec nikto. Inokedy tam ľudia síce žili, ale akoby sa zastavil čas – všetko sa prestalo vyvíjať a meniť. Naopak, zhruba od začiatku druhej svetovej vojny tam zase bežia dejiny zbesilejšie než kdekoľvek inde, akoby chceli dohnať stáročia stagnácie.
Petr Koubský už vo svojich dvoch predošlých textoch (Stručné dejiny Ukrajiny a Stručné dejiny Ruska) ukázal svoje jedinečné nadanie zasadiť do kontextu a zrozumiteľne vysvetliť dejinné súvislosti, ktoré vedú k často nepochopiteľnej súčasnosti. Je redaktorom českého Deníka N pre vedu a technológie. Pracoval v počítačových časopisoch Softwarové noviny a Inside, potom ako novinár a publicista na voľnej nohe. Študoval na VŠCHT a FEL ČVUT, neskôr pôsobil ako softvérový vývojár a ako výskumný pracovník vtedajšej ČSAV. Vyučuje predmet Vedecká žurnalistika na Filozofickej fakulte Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci. Je držiteľom novinárskej Ceny Ferdinanda Peroutku za rok 2020.

Killing the Kingfish
On September 8, 1935, Huey Long, a United States senator and former Louisiana governor, was fatally shot in a back corridor of the Louisiana state capitol. Although the most widely accepted theory holds that Dr. Carl Weiss, son-in-law of Long’s political opponent Judge Benjamin Henry Pavy, was responsible, the assassination remains one of the most debated events in American political history. In Killing the Kingfish: The Huey Long Assassination, author Jack B. McGuire offers a comprehensive and revelatory examination of what really happened that night. Killing the Kingfish explores critical incidents leading up to the assassination, including Long’s investigation of a murder plot in early 1935 and his battles with Judge Pavy. These events, often overlooked by other historians, are crucial to understanding the volatile climate that surrounded Long’s leadership. The volume also presents previously undisclosed information, including secret state investigative files that have never been made public—until now. McGuire uncovers secret plots to assassinate Long, some involving local political figures and law enforcement officials. He details planned attempts on Long’s life originating from influential factions in Louisiana. McGuire’s findings suggest that, had Long not been killed when he was, an ambush would likely have occurred within weeks. McGuire’s scholarship not only corrects the historical record but also offers essential insights into the dangerous political landscape of 1930s Louisiana. Incorporating rare investigative materials, Killing the Kingfish will be an invaluable resource for scholars and readers interested in the true story behind Huey Long’s tragic end.
Páncélosok a Felvidéken
2008-ig a második világháború 1944-1945. évi magyarországi harcainak volt egy olyan eseménysora, amelyet a hadtörténetírás addig nem dolgozott fel kellő alapossággal. A Felvidék azon része, amely 1938 és 1945 között újra Magyarország határain belülre került, 1945 és 1989 között rendszerint kimaradt a magyarországi hadműveletek tárgyalásakor. A magyar szakemberek a területet az 1945 utáni helyzetből kiindulva Csehszlovákia részének tekintették, és miután az arcvonal átlépte az 1938 előtti magyar határt, a tolluk legtöbbször megtorpant.
A kötet szerkezete az előző kiadáshoz képest lényegében nem változott, ám a korábbi kézirat bővítése során olyan mennyiségű új adatot sikerült feltárni, hogy ezek közreadásával lényegében egy új könyv született, messze meghaladva az eredeti terjedelmet.
Elsőként az úgynevezett ipolysági átjáró birtoklásáért vívott 1944. decemberi harcok páncélosalkalmazásával, majd a második fejezetben annak az 1945. január 6–22. között megvívott komáromi páncélosütközetnek a történetével ismerkedhet meg az Olvasó, amely az első fejezet témájának szerves folytatása, mind kronológiai, mind hadműveleti szempontból. A harmadik fejezet témája az 1945. februári „Südwind” hadművelet számos új adattal; ez volt a német csapatok egyik utolsó győztes hadművelete a végső vereség előtt. A kötetet az 1945. március végi harcok összefoglalása zárja le, különös tekintettel a harcoló felek páncélosokkal rendelkező alakulataira, benne egyebek mellett a román 2. harckocsiezred harctevékenységével.
A szöveget egy nagyméretű, kivehető térkép, számos harcvázlat és hadrendi ábra, valamint a tárgyalt időszakban készült fényképek egészítik ki.

The Power of Real Optimism
AS FEATURED IN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: 'I can feel rusty parts of my brain coming back to life' Lucy ManganOptimism isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying open and flexible-especially when it's not. In this fresh, science-backed debut, professional psychologist and media expert Dr. Deepika Chopra shows us how to build the kind of optimism that can actually withstand real life. Grounded, practical, and poetic in all the right ways, this book will challenge your relationship with hope, rewire how you recover from hard things, and invite you to stay soft without falling apart. With her blend of intimate storytelling, psychological insight, and tangible tools-including a 33-day Real Optimism Challenge-Dr. Chopra offers something far more enduring than a quick fix or fleeting affirmation. She invites us into a deeper, more resilient way of living-one where we can stay curious in the face of fear, open in the face of grief, and grounded even as the world wobbles beneath us. Because real optimism doesn't deny the dark-it teaches us how to see in it.
The History of Ancient Greece
From the legends of the Trojan War to the world conquests of Alexander the Great, Greece is the bedrock of Western civilization. Above all, the Greeks were pioneers in political thought and creators of the world’s first democracies. The first half of this fascinating military and political history details how the Greeks recovered from the collapse of the first Minoan, Cretan and Mycenaean civilization. It highlights the Persian Wars, and shows Athens during its brilliant Golden Age, before it was wrecked by the long wars with Sparta. It describes the men and women who have made Greece’s name resonate down the ages: Solon, the great reformer; Pericles, the supreme democrat; and Dionysius, the Sicilian tyrant. The second part of the book opens with the rise of Macedonia under Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Alexander, one of the most heroic and controversial figures in history, was a military genius who transformed the world, and who overthrew the Persian empire and helped spread Greek civilization and culture across half of Asia. His untimely death resulted in his eventual successor becoming the Roman empire. Over 500 photographs, illustrations, maps and battleplans bring this ancient history to life. With illuminating information on weapons, fleets and armies, on military tactics, and the organization of the great armies of Dionysius of Syracuse, Philip II and Alexander the Great, this is a breathtaking analysis of 2,000 years of impassioned politics, warfare and culture. An authoritative and beautifully illustrated account of ancient Greece, describing its classical heritage and influence on the history of the Western world. Chronicles political development in ancient Greece and explores the democracies, oligarchies and autocracies of Pericles, Solon and Leonidas. Explains the military techniques and strategies, operations and training of the Greek armies, with a special focus on the life, tactics and conquests of Alexander the Great. Includes detailed accounts of all the major conflicts – from the time of the Persian and Peloponnesian wars, charting Alexander the Great’s campaigns across the known world, to the reigns of Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, and Emperor Hadrian of Rome. Over 500 photographs, illustrations, specially commissioned battleplans and maps show Athens, Sparta and other ancient Greek city-states in magnificent detail.
