The House of War
'A fascinating history', Charles Moore, The Spectator A powerful history of the most significant military clashes between Islam and Christendom over the 1,300 years of the Muslim caliphate. From the taking of the holy city of Jerusalem in the 7th century AD by Caliph Umar, to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following the end of World War I, Christian popes, emperors and kings, and Muslim caliphs and sultans were locked in a 1300-year battle for political, military, ideological, economic and religious supremacy. In this powerful history of the era, acknowledged expert on the history of the Middle East and the Crusades Simon Mayall focuses on some of the most significant clashes of arms in human history: the taking and retaking of Jerusalem and the collapse of the Crusader states; the fall of Constantinople; the sieges of Rhodes and Malta; the assault on Vienna and the ‘high-water mark’ of Ottoman advance into Europe; culminating in the Allied capture of Jerusalem in World War I, the final collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the dissolution of the sultanate and the caliphate, and the formation of modern Europe and the modern Middle East. The House of War offers a wide, sweeping narrative, encompassing the broad historical and religious context of this period, while focussing on some of the key, pivotal sieges and battles, and on the protagonists, political and military, who determined their conclusions and their consequences.
Echoes of Ash
‘Finally, a book that puts Herculaneum back on the map!’ – Dr Daisy Dunn‘What an extraordinary tour de force!' – Dr Sophie Hay‘This is an absolute must-read…’ – Dr Jessica VennerOn a beach near Naples in October 79 CE, more than 300 people stand on a beach, hoping for an evacuation that will never come. Vesuvius has erupted, and there is no time to escape. They will all be killed instantly in the suffocating, hellishly hot devastation that follows. This was the end of their town, but it is not the end of their story. Neighbouring the world-renowned Pompeii, the town of Herculaneum is the neglected victim of Vesuvius. It was uniquely preserved in the aftermath of the eruption, and in many ways gives us unparalleled glimpses into the past. Echoes of Ash tells the fascinating story of Herculaneum and the people who lived there for the first time. By looking through the eyes of such figures as the Weaver and the Slave Girl, the Soldier and the Boxer, and by investigating the relevant buildings and the archaeological discoveries of the past twenty years, acclaimed historian Adrian Murdoch builds a historical picture that is more colourful, complete and alive than has ever been possible before.
Likeable
'I need this book. It doesn't matter how much I lie to myself – I can't avoid the fact I desperately want to be liked' – Paloma FaithDo you worry about what other people think of you? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself wh? or too long, our value and self-worth have been tied to pleasing others. We've dimmed our true selves to fit in – no matter the cost. But there's always a cost. People-pleasing and staying likeable means suppressing our feelings, words, actions, and desires, and there's only so much we can conceal before it all unravels. Throughout my life, I've morphed into who others needed me to be, taken on too much responsibility for other people’s sh*t, put myself down, and stayed quiet – all in the hope of being liked. But no more. Now, I'm asking: What do I want? … And do I even like mysel? his book holds a light up to all the times I wish I’d broken free of the worry cycle, said goodbye to the ‘good girl’ attitude, and put happiness first. I wrote it so you can do the same. You can't please everyone. So let's stop trying. Fearne x
The Sun Rising
‘Spectacularly good’ Peter Frankopan‘Fascinating’ The Times‘Game-changing’ John Guy, Literary Review‘Gripping' Lucy Worsley‘Scintillating’ Suzannah LipscombA panoramic history of the arrival of the Stuarts, and how the reign of King James I saw England reach new corners of the globeIn 1603, England was on the verge of crisis.

Burn Them Out!
In November 2023, the Dublin riots shocked Ireland and the wider world. They were sparked by a knife attack by an immigrant on three children. Inflammatory online rumours spread in minutes. Part of the north inner city were wrecked, cars and buses torched, and protestors wreaked havoc on the streets for hours. Until very recently, Ireland had prided itself on having escaped the wave of far-right, xenophobic populism now rampant throughout Europe. That complacency has been rudely challenged. In Burn Them Out!, Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc explores the long history that has led to this pivotal moment. He uncovers the pervasive anti-Semitism of the Irish political elite in the 1920s and 30s, the energetic efforts of Mosley and other British fascists to extend their movement to the North of Ireland, the IRA’s alliance with Nazi Germany in the 40s and the many ultra-Catholic, anti-communist Irish movements that were millimetres away from fascism. He tells the story of exotic entities like the Fascio di Dublino, the Dublin branch of Mussolini's Fascist Party, and the Irish wing of Miss Rotha Lintorn-Orman's ‘British Fascisti’. The openly-fascist Irish movement known as the Blueshirts, an offshoot and ally of the early Fine Gael, is looked at with fresh eyes, and its supporters’ statements about Jews now make for hair-raising reading. Many of its proponents went on to become pillars of the Irish political and cultural establishment. And the Catholic and nationalist Ailtirí na hAiséirghe (Architects of the Resurrection), a post-war sect, was in many ways a precursor of today’s Irish far right. This is an essential book about an aspect of Irish history all too often swept under the carpet.
One Bad Mother
"Dickson is funny […] and deftly weaves in her own experiences." - The ObserverFor fans of the witty and evocative writing of Anne Helen Petersen and Amanda Montell, a sharply clever exploration of what it means to be a “bad mom” by delving into the world of momfluencers, stage moms, trad wives, and more. We all have an idea what it means to be a good mom: little screen time, kids hitting their milestones, endless patience and understanding, and self-sacrifice on behalf of one’s children. But what does it mean to be a “bad mom” in modern society? Women as wide-ranging as Meghan Markle, Hannah Neelman (of Ballerina Farm), and anyone giving birth over forty, have been labeled “bad moms.” In a world where the rules are constantly changing, it feels like women simply cannot win. With this in mind, in her first book, Ej Dickson takes a sharp, provocative look at one of society’s most polarizing labels: the “bad mom.” What makes a mother “bad,” and why? Through the lens of pop culture and American history, Ej Dickson explores how this trope has evolved—from Victorian “angels in the house” to the infamous Mommie Dearest, from Instagram influencers like EmRata and Mormon momfluencers to fictional icons like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Each chapter dives into a different archetype of so-called bad motherhood—like the Stage Mom, the Tiger Mom, the MILF, the MLM hun—challenging us to rethink our assumptions about femininity, parenting, and societal expectations. Drawing on insightful analysis and interviews, Dickson unpacks why our culture is obsessed with vilifying moms and how issues of race and class shape these narratives. Are bad moms truly “bad,” or do they simply defy norms we don’t fully understand—or fea? his isn’t just cultural commentary—it’s a clarion call. Because if we really take a close look, we might find that some of the women we’ve reviled throughout history are due for a reassessment — and in doing so, moms today may take some much-needed pressure off themselves. One Bad Mother invites moms everywhere to stop chasing impossible standards, reclaim their autonomy, and maybe—just maybe—enjoy motherhood for what it is, not what it’s “supposed” to be. Thoughtful, eye-opening, and downright funny at times, One Bad Mother is a vital exploration of modern motherhood.

Rasputin
Rasputin: visionary, fraud or victim of history? THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'THE GOLD STANDARD OF NARRATIVE HISTORY' DAN SNOW'ONE OF THE GREAT STORIES OF HISTORY, TOLD BY ONE OF OUR GREATEST HISTORIANS' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'THIS EXTRAORDINARY STORY HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER TOLD' ANTHONY HOROWITZ'A STUNNING BANQUET OF A BOOK' ROSE TREMAINHow could a barely literate peasant from Siberia determine the fate of the world? Undoubtedly, the so-called 'mad monk' Rasputin bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. Yet their strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle, one that casts an intriguing light on the controversial 'great man' theory of history. Rasputin was a devoted monarchist, not a revolutionary. He had no official position, no forces at his command. Nevertheless, he contributed more to the fall of the Romanov dynasty than any other individual. So demoralised was the Tsarist officer corps by stories of corruption, to say nothing of the rumours of his debauchery with the Empress - and even her daughters - that when the February Revolution broke out, not a sword was raised in defence of the regime. Just as Rasputin cast a spell over the Romanovs, his legend has bewitched historians. More than a century later, we still fail to comprehend fully the collapse of the greatest autocracy on Earth. Was there any truth to the wild tales that brought down the empire? Or was his true legacy an unsettling lesson on the potency of myth? From the bestselling author of Stalingrad comes a fascinating and deeply insightful historical post-mortem

Traversal
In Traversal, Maria Popova traverses the border between life and death, chance and choice, chemistry and consciousness: what makes a body a person? What makes a planet a world? How do we safeguard our love of truth from our lust for power? What slakes our longings and what redeems our losses? Popova illuminates our various instruments of reckoning with these questions - our telescopes and our treatises, our postulates and our poems - through the intertwined lives, loves and legacies of visionaries both celebrated and sidelined by history, people born into the margins of their time and place who lived to write the future: Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Fanny Wright. Woven throughout their stories are other threads - the decoding of the insulin molecule, the invention of the bicycle, how nature creates blue - which come together to create a rich tapestry of life's meaning; exploring what it is that makes life alive and worth living. By turns epic and intimate, Traversal explores the universe between cells and souls to reveal the world, and our lives, in a dazzling new light.
Náš ľadovec sa roztápa, 2. vydanie
Náš ľadovec sa roztápa je jednoduchým príbehom o úspechu vo svete,
ktorý ustavične podlieha zmenám. Je to príbeh o kolónii tučniakov
z Antarktídy, ktorá žije dlhé roky nezmeneným spôsobom. Jedného dňa

Požierači svetla
Čo ak svet rastlín nie je tichý, pasívny a jednoduchý, ale plný komunikácie, pamäti, stratégií a emócií, ktoré sme doteraz nepoznali?
Oceňovaná novinárka Zoë Schlangerová v Požieračoch svetla berie čitateľa na vzrušujúcu cestu najmodernejším výskumom, ktorý mení naše chápanie prírody od základov. Zrazu zisťujeme, že rastliny sa vedia navzájom varovať pred predátormi, rozlišovať členov vlastnej „rodiny“, počuť húsenice či prispôsobovať svoje telo svetu okolo seba. Pamätajú si. Rozhodujú sa. Manipulujú zvieratami tak, aby ich chránili alebo opelili. A možno dokonca… aj premýšľajú.
Zoë Schlangerová sa stretáva s vedcami, ktorí zasvätili život rastlinám, a prináša podmanivé príbehy zo skleníkov, pralesov a laboratórií, kde sa dych zeleného života skúma na úrovni, ktorá vyráža dych. Výsledkom je kniha, ktorá narúša nielen naše predstavy o rastlinách, ale aj o inteligencii, vedomí a mieste samotného človeka v prírode.
Toto je príbeh o bytostiach, ktoré žijú bez krokov a hlasu – a predsa možno vedia o svete viac, než si myslíme.

Zviera, ktoré teda som
Kniha Zviera, ktoré teda som je jedným z prvých príspevkov do diskusie o environmentálnej etike, keďže hlavnou témou tejto knihy je analýza etiky zvierat. Jacques Derrida tu zavádza pojem zvieracia inakosť. Hlavnou postavu knihy je jeho mačka. Etiku tu teda definuje ako založenú na pojme inakosti, ktorý by sa ale nemal týkať iba ľudských bytostí, ale aj zvierat a všetkých živých bytostí. Robí tak analýzu diskurzu o zvieratách v dejinách myslenia, pričom konštatuje, že niektorí filozofi boli k zvieratám nepriateľskí (Porfyrios, Aristoteles, Kant, Nietzsche, Montaigne, Caroll, Bentham, Descartes, Levinas, Lacan). Kniha vznikla prepisom zo semináru, ktorý Derrida predniesol v Cerisy (Francúzsko) v roku 1977. Do slovenčiny bolo doposiaľ preložených len veľmi málo kníh tohto francúzskeho filozofa pôvodom z Alžírska, napriek tomu, že to bol dôležitý autor, ktorý pojmom dekonštrukcie prispel k zmene západnej filozofie a podroboval ju neustálej kritike. Jeho myslenie prispelo k vzniku nových filozofických smerov ako sú postštrukturalistický feminizmus, postkoloniálne štúdiá.
