Archaeology of Leicester in 20 Digs


Leicester is one of the most intensely excavated historic cities in the country, resulting in many fantastic archaeological discoveries comprising a rich array of ancient buildings, objects, and the remains of the people who once lived in Leicester’s Roman and medieval past. The city’s heritage hit the global headlines with the discovery of King Richard III below a car park in 2012 but look beyond this and there is much more to learn.This book takes the reader on a journey from Leicester’s Iron Age origins along the riverbank to its establishment as a Roman town and Civitas Capital with large public buildings and spaces, along with lavish townhouses featuring fine mosaics. After Roman rule, the ruinous former city was still lived in with evidence for rarely found Anglo-Saxon buildings. Later, the medieval town has evidence for houses, a brewery, monastic buildings, cemeteries, and the burial of King Richard III.The Archaeology of Leicester in 20 Digs selects twenty of the most important archaeological sites and celebrates the discoveries from over 100 years of investigations, which have transformed our understanding of the city’s rich 2,000-year history. This book includes the most recent discoveries, and newest interpretations, with Leicester’s heritage presented in a fresh and accessible way, with photographs, illustrations, and links to provide a gateway to further reading.

Cracks in the Crescent


Pakistan is a country of intrigue and interest for many reasons. Envisioned as a homogeneous homeland for Muslims in Indian sub-continent, Pakistan has already witnessed an enduring fragmentation (with creation of Bangladesh) which raises question on the very idea of its creation. Given its strategic leverage, Pakistan had the potential of playing a major role in the regional dynamics as well amongst the comity of Islamic nations. Unfortunately, Pakistan has repeatedly floundered on successive opportunities, exposing its infirmity in pursuing a long-term progressive strategy.

Towards Reformed Multilateralism in the Era of Indo-Pacific


Asia is the fulcrum of the Indo-Pacific. The “Asian Age” or the “Asian Century” in the era of the Indo-Pacific is being redefined as a broader concept signalling the inevitable rise of different parts of Asia, which are home to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations. For the past two decades, if not more, Asia has re-emerged to shape global dynamics by involving many stakeholders from the extended neighbourhood of Africa, West Asia, Eurasia as well as the great powers that have a long-standing economic and security stake in different parts of Asia.

Buried Narratives and Unearthed Identities


The cultural sequences unearthed at Sakas are Neolithic, Neolithic-Chalcolithic and Chalcolithic. It examines multiple parameters, including the in-situ burial arrangements, demographic profiles, metric analysis, skeletal morphology, and palaeopathological markers. The analysis yielded significant insights into dietary habits, morphological variations, and indicators of habitual stress. Evidence of congenital conditions and degenerative pathologies suggests patterns of physically intensive labour and repetitive biomechanical stress. One of the study''s most notable discoveries was the identification of ischial bursitis (Weaver’s Bottom) in two individuals – an atypical condition within archaeological contexts, as this is reported for the first time in the Indian context and is likely indicative of prolonged seated activities or chronic pressure on the ischial region. Overall, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the health, lifestyle, and labour patterns of the people residing in the region, offering valuable contributions to the bioarchaeological record of ancient India. This book is the product of an interdisciplinary effort drawing upon archaeology and bioarchaeology.

Captive Audience


Lieutenant John Blomfield Dixon, East Riding Yeomanry, was twenty years old when he was captured near the village of Watou, Belgium, on 31 May 1940 during the retreat to Dunkirk. His combat career had been short but eventful, and now he began a long journey in captivity. He would be held in number of Oflags, POW camps for officers, including Laufen, Warburg, Posen, Biberach and finally Eichstätt in Bavaria. During his captivity, John recorded the highs and lows of camp life in a series of diaries. As the war progressed, he became more involved in camp theatrical productions, which included works by William Shakespear, Noël Coward and Benjamin Britten. John often played female roles, which he eventually grew to hate. He was finally released on 10 May 1945 after five long years behind the wire.Paul Johnson explores John’s account – his military service and capture, camp life, the efforts to escape, the killing of comrades, his hatred of both captors and captives, his participation in many theatrical performances, a forbidden love and his eventual return home. A fascinating selection of black and white and colourised photographs is also featured, depicting the life, laughs and love of a British POW in Germany during the Second World War.

Bahamian Islanders on the Maritime Highway


Once regarded as a critical maritime highway in the wake of British abolition, the channels of The Bahamas became a crossroads where freedom, commerce, and control collided. As trade relationships shifted and power was renegotiated across the Atlantic world, the archipelago’s porous geography created opportunities for newly emancipated Black people—and, at the same time, for those determined to reassert systems of racial and economic dominance. In Bahamian Islanders on the Maritime Highway: Wrecking to Make a Reckoning, historian Lisa Lawlor Feller weaves together the microhistories of those who crossed these waters, illuminating a transnational Bahamian history often left at the margins. By placing The Bahamas at the intersection of Caribbean and Atlantic frameworks, she reveals the mobility, resilience, and complexity of everyday islanders whose lives shaped the region in lasting ways. Colonial records—ships’ logs, governors’ papers, educational reports—may seem dominated by dry statistics, yet careful reading uncovers the subtle presence of these voices. Set against the unique geographic and political position of The Bahamas, these fragments open new dimensions of understanding. This groundbreaking study calls for a reimagined framework of the "partially free" Atlantic world—one that embraces the fluid, liminal spaces of an archipelago that has long defied simple categorization. Centering Bahamian experience, Feller deepens our understanding of the region’s past and affirms the islands’ enduring importance as a site of connection, transition, and cultural insight within Caribbean studies.

Novelizovaný Trestný poriadok 17/2026


Novelizovaný Trestný poriadok s aktualizovanými dôvodovými správami v úplnom znení Poslanci NRSR schválili 6. júna 2026 zákon č 168/2026 Z.z., ktorý v článku II s účinnosťou od 18.8.2026 zmenil a doplnil Trestný poriadok. Novela Trestného poriadku je natoľko rozsiahla (39 novelizačných bodov), že aktualizácia v súčasnosti distribuovaného NZ 4/2026 (Novelizový Trestný poriadok) formou doplnku by nesplnila požadovaný účel, preto sme sa rozhodli vydať nový NZ . Do uplného znenia Trestného poriadku sme popri zákone č. 168/2026 Z.z. zapracovali aj ďalšie zmeny vykonané zákonmi č. 327/2025 Z.z. a č. 69/2026 Z.z.

Dôvodové správy k všetkým trom novelám (aktualizované na základe prijatých pozmeňujúcich návrhov poslancov, resp. výborov NRSR) by mali zainteresovaným občanom a organizáciám objasniť zámery ich predkladateľov – v podstate ide o jediný výklad novelizovaných ustanovení, na ktorý prihliadajú súdy.

Final Reflections on Wittgenstein and Other Topics


This book of essays brings together the author’s most recent reflections on Wittgenstein’s philosophy as well as some earlier essays that seem worth preserving for historical reasons, as they involve information about personal relationships otherwise not easily retrievable by future chroniclers. It is the concluding complement of the author’s previous two volumes of essays: Wittgenstein: Connections and Controversies (2001) and Wittgenstein: Comparisons and Context (2013), which together form a trilogy of collected papers that represent his decades-long endeavor to understand and give adequate description and defense of the thought of the first philosopher of his age.

The Mediations of Super-exploitation


A succinct analysis of the process of super-exploitation in the present-day context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Drawing upon methodological insights from Hungarian Marxist István Mészáros, Brazilian Marxist Ruy Mauro Marini, and others, Adrián Sotelo Valencia demonstrates the pivotal importance of analyzing second order mediations as he builds an innovative, expanded model of structural dependency. The result is a more holistic, dialectical grasp of the contradictory dynamics of contemporary imperialism where Capital globally deploys technology for automation in an unsustainable drive for profit that displaces labor and increasingly threatens the reproduction of the global labor force. Empirical evidence presented throughout this work serves to reinforce its powerful, updated articulation of Marxist Dependency Theory.

The Politicization of Gender


This book investigates the strategic use of gender by far-right parties in Europe to mobilize voters and legitimize exclusionary nationalist agendas. Through comparative case studies of Italy and the Netherlands, it analyzes how parties deploy gendered narratives to oppose feminist and LGBTQ+ rights, justify anti-immigrant policies, and consolidate political power. Drawing on political speeches, campaign materials, manifestos, media coverage, and electoral data, the study reveals the intersections of gender with race, religion, and class in shaping political discourse. The monograph shows that gender is not a peripheral concern but a central axis in far-right strategies, influencing public opinion, social norms, and policy outcomes. By uncovering these dynamics, the book offers insights into the broader implications of far-right politics for democracy, social justice, and inclusive governance in Europe.

Aristotles Guide to Self-Persuasion


Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing Rhetoric once sat at the centre of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare and Martin Luther King, Jr. used it to build empires, write deathless literature and inspire democracies. Here, Heinrichs shows us how these persuasive tools, honed over more than three thousand years of use persuading others, can be turned on our most difficult audiences - ourselves. Using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by some of history's most persuasive characters, we see how rhetoric can convert the gloomiest of situations into positive ones. Illustrated with examples from history and pop culture - Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie - Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals? Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the life-changing power of language, Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Bruselský diktát aneb co školy o EU neučí, 2. vydání


Od autorů nejúspěšnějšího českého podcastu o Evropské unii Bruselský diktát přichází kniha, která dělá něco, co v české knižní produkci o EU prakticky neexistuje. Vypráví příběh. Příběh dvou set let evropské historie, která vyústila v Evropskou unii, jak ji známe dnes. A přitom to dělá tak, že u toho čtenář nezavře oči po třiceti stranách a usmívá se od začátku dokonce. Kniha má dvě části. V první autoři vyprávějí, jak Evropa za dvě stě let prošla cestu od napoleonských válek přes dvě světové války až k dnešní unii dvaceti sedmi států. Bez memorování dat, bez seznamu smluv, ale s historickým nadhledem. V druhé části vás zavedou do bruselského zákulisí. Kde se rozhoduje, kdo tahá za nitky a proč naši politici v Bruselu odhlasují něco, na co pak doma nadávají. Ondřej Houska strávil pět let jako zpravodaj v Bruselu, má doktorát z historie a dnes je redaktorem Hospodářských novin. Michal Půr je dvacetiletý mediální veterán, pět let působil jako zpravodaj ČTK v Bruselu, dnes patří k nejvlivnějším českým podcasterům. Houska přidává historický kontext a věcnou přesnost, Půr lidovou vypravěčskou energii. Kniha sama o sobě říká, že je „chronologicky pokroucený, subjektivně vyprávěný a stylově ne úplně slušný pohled na evropskou historii." Autoři se netváří, že EU je bezchybná, ale ani že je to „tyranský levičácký moloch s přetlakem genderových komisí." Mezi tím leží reálná Evropa, kterou autoři vyprávějí s humorem, nadhledem a respektem k faktům.

Nadvláda mužů


Mužská dominance je tak zakotvena v našich společenských praktikách a našem nevědomí, že si jí sotva všímáme; je natolik v souladu s našimi očekáváními, že ji jen těžko zpochybňujeme. Bourdieu vychází ze svých zkoumání kabylské společnosti. Analýza fungování této společnosti pomáhá pochopit nejskrytější aspekty vztahů mezi pohlavími v našich vlastních společnostech a mužskou dominanci jako ukázkový příklad symbolického násilí – jemného, neviditelného, všudypřítomného násilí uplatňovaného prostřednictvím každodenních praktik společenského života. Dojde ovšem i na analýzu společenských mechanismů a institucí – rodiny, školy, církve a státu.

What Is Liberal Socialism?


What is Liberal Socialism? investigates the radical tradition of liberal socialism and makes a case for its relevance in a Trumpian era.Liberalism and socialism have long been understood as mortal enemies, but both developed out of the Enlightenment and are committed to the importance of reason, freedom, and flourishing for all. In What is Liberal Socialism? Matt McManus, Florian Maiwald and Paul Crider make the case for retrieving a long-forgotten tradition of liberal socialist thought. Looking at seminal thinkers from John Stuart Mill to Chantal Mouffe and John Rawls, the book lays out the strengths and weaknesses of liberal socialism in the context of the tumultuous 21st century, arguing that it may be an overlooked source of hope, one deserving of reconsideration in an era of right wing populism.

Delivering Tolerance


A new theory of prejudice reduction, supported by rigorous evidence, arguing that public institutions and the people within them can improve intergroup relations in conflict-ridden societiesDecades of social science research focuses on reducing prejudice, which is considered an impediment to intergroup cooperation. Reducing prejudice is notoriously challenging, however, because it is durable and because it motivates avoidance of experiences that would improve intergroup relations. In Delivering Tolerance, Chagai Weiss develops a theory of prejudice reduction through public institutions. Weiss argues that instrumental, and often unintended, minority inclusion in public institutions that provide essential services—including schools, hospitals, and police forces—can facilitate various forms of exposure to out-group service providers that reduces prejudice at scale. Overcoming the challenges of both durability and avoidance, such exposure is especially persuasive in shifting attitudes toward minorities.To test his theory, Weiss examines what is perhaps the most extreme, prominent, and intractable example of group conflict—the relationship of Israelis and Palestinian citizens of Israel (PCI). He finds that Israelis’ brief yet meaningful interactions with PCI doctors reduce prejudice, and that information about the rate of PCI inclusion in Israeli healthcare institutions reduces intergroup animosity. He also shows that patterns of prejudice reduction generalize beyond the Israeli case of healthcare institutions, examining other institutional domains and examples of inclusion dynamics in the United States and Germany. Reducing prejudice is discouragingly difficult, but Weiss’s account reveals how institutions and the people within them can improve intergroup relations in conflict-ridden societies.
