Jesusland
Using a blend of cultural criticism, humor, and personal memoir akin to Jia Tolentino’s Trick Mirror or Grace Perry’s The 2000s Made Me Gay, Joelle Kidd writes about her evangelical adolescence through the lens of Christian pop culture of the early 2000s, giving readers a peek into this odd subculture and insight into how evangelicalism’s growing popularity around the turn of the millennium has shaped culture and politics — including today’s far right.An empathetic, funny, and sharply critical collection of essays exploring the Christian pop culture of the 2000s and its influence on today’s politically powerful evangelicalism In 1999, after three years of secular living in Eastern Europe, Joelle Kidd moved back to Canada and was enrolled in the strange world of an evangelical Christian school. In Jesusland, Joelle writes about the Christian pop culture that she was suddenly immersed in, from perky girl bands to modest styling tips, and draws connections between this evangelical subculture and the mainstream, a tense yet reciprocal relationship that both disavows the secular while employing its media markers. But none of this was just about catchy songs: every abstinence quiz in a teen magazine was laying the foundation for what would become a conservative Christian movement that threatens women’s healthcare, attacks queer and trans rights, and drives present-day political division. Through nine incisive, honest, and emotional essays, Jesusland exposes the pop cultural machinations of evangelicalism, while giving voice to aughts-era Christian children and teens who are now adults looking back at their time, measuring the length of their skirts, and asking each other if their celebrity crush was Christian enough. With care and generosity, Jesusland shows us how the conservative evangelical movement became the global power it is today by exploring the pop culture that both reflected and shaped an entire generation of young people.
Maps: Their Untold Stories 2nd edition
A new edition of this fascinating and unusual journey through the world of maps and mapmakers, drawing on 700 years'' worth of maps from the National Archives.A map is a snapshot of a place, a city, a nation or even the world at a given point in time - fascinating for what they tell us about the way our ancestors saw themselves, their neighbours and their place in the world. This magnificent collection, drawn from seven centuries of maps held in the National Archives at Kew, looks at a variety of maps, from those found in 14th-century manuscripts, through to early estate maps, to maps used in 20th-century military campaigns.Great images are accompanied by compelling stories. Featured is a woodcut map of 16th Century London, a map of where the bombs fell during the Second World War, and a map the first American settlers drew when they were attempting to establish a new empire on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. This new edition has been revised throughout, with many new maps added, including newly discovered and digitised maps from North America. A whole new chapter, Mapping Buildings, has also been added.
The Lost Music of the Holocaust
For more than thirty years Francesco Lotoro, an Italian pianist and composer has been on an odyssey to recover music written by the inmates of Adolf Hitler''s concentration camps and the gulags of Stalin''s Soviet Union. Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin''s death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Lotoro pieces together the human stories of survivors whose only salvation was their love of music.Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in Lost Music of the Holocaust are extraordinary and historically important. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotor has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub. To avoid discover by camp guards, Lotoro even discovered forgotten pieces of code inmates had invented to hide their real meaning - music. In many cases, the composers would be murdered in the gas chambers or worked to death, not knowing whether their music would be heard by the world. Until now.Their stories and their music adds colour and humanity to the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin''s oppressive rule. It is a journey into music and history that reveals a new way of telling the darkest chapters of the twentieth century whilst shining a light on the beauty that could still be created amidst the horrors endured.
Tunisgrad
A Waterstones and BBC History Magazine Best Book of the Year The Aspects of History Book of the Year 2025 'Terrific – full of drama … it has profoundly altered my understanding of the Second World War' PATRICK BISHOP FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SBS COMES AN EPIC HISTORY OF THE ALLIED VICTORY IN NORTH AFRICA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. On 8 November 1942, British and American troops invaded French North Africa as part of Operation Torch, the largest amphibious operation of the war to date. The Germans responded by flooding troops into Tunisia and the stage was set for one of the most decisive clashes of the war. For months the outcome hung in the balance. The Allies failed to capture Tunis before Christmas, and early in the New Year the legendary German commander Erwin Rommel ( the ‘ Desert Fox ’) inflicted a series of crushing defeats on inexperienced American troops in the mountain passes of central Tunisia. But once the two Allied armies – the First and the Eighth – had joined hands in southern Tunisia in early April, the defeat of Axis forces was inevitable. The end came on 13 May when the remnants of the First Italian Army surrendered to British troops in northern Tunisia, leaving the Allies ‘ masters of the North African shores ’. It was, with Guadalcanal in the Pacific and Stalingrad in Russia, one of three Axis defeats in early 1943 that changed the course of the war. Historians have recognized the significance of the others, but not Tunisia which they have either ignored or characterized ( as the Americans did at the time ) as a sideshow. Yet it ended Axis sea power in the Mediterranean, destroyed more than 2,400 Axis aircraft ( 40 per cent of the Luftwaffe ’ s strength ), and resulted in the surrender of over 250,000 German and Italian troops, more than were captured at Stalingrad. Such was the scale of their defeat that the German public wryly dubbed it ‘ Tunisgrad ’. It was the first campaign fought by the Anglo-American alliance, and would determine how and where the Allies would fight for the rest of the war. It was where America first brought to bear the full weight of its industrial strength, and where the Allies learned, after early setbacks, how to defeat the Germans with a combination of air, land and sea power. It featured many of the great commanders of the Second World War, including ‘ Ike ’ Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr, Omar N. Bradley, Harold Alexander, Bernard Montgomery and Erwin Rommel. But the campaign ’ s chief significance is that it extinguished any lingering hopes in Italy that the war could be won and led, inexorably, to the dissolution of the Axis in Europe. By destroying the Axis it marked, for Hitler, the beginning of the end. Tunisgrad is the first comprehensive 360-degree history, told from the perspective of all the combatants, and ranging in focus from politicians and senior commanders to ordinary servicemen fighting in and over the mountains of Tunisia, and across the Mediterranean. Using a variety of first-hand sources, it restores the campaign to its rightful place as a defining moment of the war
Fractured France
The French have always loved to protest, to strike, to take to the streets in rebellion against the state or the status quo. But in the last few years, the level of anger and violence has taken many by surprise and the atmosphere has changed. The voices of hostility are not only from the extreme far-right, but from the ordinary French who feel excluded from the closed circle of wealth and privilege within the prospering cities. In this fascinating new book, Andrew Hussey travels the length of his adopted homeland to uncover the past and present of the culture of the working class in France, a culture invisible to most tourists and ignored by the metropolitan classes. From the industrial north to the southern borders with Italy, Hussey maps the mood of a nation, and reveals the social, political and economic fault lines that may only deepen and spread. Combining vivid travel narrative and sharp cultural analysis, this will be a compulsively readable and important book.
Disarming Apartheid
South Africa remains the only state that developed a nuclear weapons capability, but ultimately decided to dismantle existing weapons and abandon the programme. Disarming Apartheid reconstructs the South African decision-making and diplomatic negotiations over the country's nuclear weapons programme and its international status, drawing on new and extensive archival material and interviews. This deeply researched study brings to light a unique disarmament experience. It traces the country's previously neglected path towards accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Rather than relying primarily on US government archives, the book joins the burgeoning field of national nuclear histories based on unprecedented access to policymakers and documents in the country studied. Robin E. Möser, in addition to providing access to important new documents, offers original interpretations that enrich the study of nuclear politics for historians and political scientists.
When Prayer Doesn't Work
What if prayer is not about having the right words, but about noticing the sacred in washing dishes, the rhythm of breath, or the quiet sharing of tea with a frien? argaret Somerville invites us to rediscover prayer as a way of living, not a formula to get right. With wisdom drawn from her Celtic roots, lifelong pilgrimage to the Isle of Iona, and deep engagement with Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Jewish traditions, she reimagines prayer as presence in the ordinary. From her granny's morning ritual of lighting the coal fire to the contemplative kneading of bread, she shows how holiness shimmers in the small gestures of daily life. Through six pathways - Sacred Space, Release, Naming, Wilderness, Nourishment and Peace - the author offers gentle practices and stories that carry us beyond unanswered petitions into a deeper communion with self, others and the divine mystery. Both memoir and spiritual guide, this book speaks to seekers who are weary of rigid traditions or silence from heaven, and to all who long for prayer that nourishes rather than disappoints. With a foreword by Kaitlin Curtice.

Fenwomen
''Full of dignity, courage and humour, and as fresh and insightful as the day it was written, FENWOMEN is a vital portrait of rural women''s lives - not only as they were lived in the 1970s in one Cambridgeshire village, but in the generations before it, all over the country, and reaching forward into today''s world, too'' MELISSA HARRISON Mary Chamberlain''s vivid social and oral history of an isolated village in the Cambridgeshire Fens was the first book ever published by Virago. Told through the voices and lives of women, whose memories span over one hundred years, it provides a unique portrait of a working-class, rural community where intermarriage was common, most inhabitants lived all their lives in the village, and until the middle of the twentieth century a single family owned almost all the land. 50th anniversary edition - now a Virago Modern Classic with a new introduction by Alexandra Harris

Cesta k vnútornej zrelosti
Táto publikácia si kladie za cieľ ponúknuť odpovede na tému formovanie emocionality, a to najprv z pohľadu medicínskeho výskumu, a následne z teologického pohľadu autora.
V posledných desaťročiach sa čoraz naliehavejšie ukazuje potreba ponúknuť solídnu formáciu citového života, ktorá napomáha zdravému a harmonickému rozvoju osoby – na telesnej, psychologickej aj duchovnej úrovni.
Kniha je určená všetkým, ktorí formujú druhých (v širokom zmysle slova), a snaží sa im sprístupniť niektoré poznatky modernej psychológie, ktoré im môžu pomôcť v tejto kľúčovej úlohe.
Rieši témy ako osobnosť a jej rôzne prejavy, formácia charakteru, zrelosť, špecifiká jednotlivých vývinových štádií, sexualita, celibát, duševné ochorenia – v kombinácii vedeckej presnosti a praktického uplatnenia.
Pre autora formovanie emocionality zahŕňa zapojenie rozumu a vôle, aby sa osoba naučila rozlišovať, čo je dobré, túžila po tom a hľadala vhodné prostriedky, ako to dosiahnuť.
Nechajte svoju minulosť v minulosti
Prečo opakovane prežívame minulú traumu a ako s tým skončiť
Prestaňte opakovať svoju minulosť a nájdite trvalé uzdravenie pre budúcnosť.
Milióny z nás sa zúfalo pokúšajú prepísať svoju minulosť tým, že ju nevedome opakujú – mimovoľne prehrávajú traumatické udalosti vo svojom živote v snahe dokončiť nedokončené záležitosti alebo napraviť to, čo nám niekto spôsobil. Tieto nevedomé snahy o odstránenie traumy prinášajú len viac bolesti, sklamania a psychických škôd. Opakované prehrávanie traumy môže mať podobu sebadeštruktívneho správania, nezdravých rozhodnutí, výberu nesprávnych partnerov, uviaznutia v opakujúcich sa emocionálnych cykloch alebo sabotovania šancí na úspech. Pochopenie a odstránenie týchto znovuprehratí je dôležitou súčasťou procesu uzdravovania.
Kniha renomovanej psychoterapeutky Beverly Engel ponúka prvý prístupný a komplexný výklad emocionálnych znovuprehratí, ktorý čitateľom v prvom rade pomôže uvedomiť si ich neúspešné snahy o nápravu minulosti. Následne ponúka účinné stratégie, ktoré im pomôžu minulosť skutočne vyliečiť, a to nie jej nevedomým opakovaním, ale tým, že sa zamerajú na svoje pôvodné zranenie a sami sebe prejavia súcit.
Pokiaľ traumy z minulosti nespracujeme, nemôžeme ich vyliečiť. Táto kniha vám pomôže postaviť sa svojej minulosti čelom a konečne sa vo vašom súčasnom živote opäť stať celistvým človekom.

Existujú problémy a
PROBLÉMY
– láska, strata, úspech, neúspech, nádej,
ľútosť, život, smrť. Dá sa vôbec o týchto dilemách rozmýšľať, keď v nás
vyvolávajú taký zmätok? Phil Stutz onich premýšľa celý svoj život av tejto
obsažnej knihe nám ponúka svoje závery. Tieto krátke zamyslenia si začal
zapisovať ešte koncom deväťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia, ale až
teraz prvýkrát vychádzajú v ucelenej zbierke, doplnenej o nové postrehy,
ktoré sa týkajú jedinečných problémov dneška. Zaoberá sa v nich
situáciami zo skutočného života, napríklad potrebami detí, prekonávaním
závisti azlozvykov, pozitívnou stránkou hnevu čizvládaním našich neistôt
a nízkeho sebavedomia. Nájdete vnej i myšlienky, ktoré sa nepočúvajú
ľahko. Napríklad že život je plný bolesti aže sa nenájde človek, ktorý by
bol natoľko výnimočný, aby sa jej vyhol. No ak chceme naplno využiť svoj
potenciál, musíme tieto pravdy pochopiť a prijať. Každá zúvah bude mať
vplyv na váš spôsob uvažovania. Ako celok je však táto kniha oveľa viac
než len súčet jej častí. Predstavuje totiž kolekciu ľudských skúseností
apoznatkov, ktoré majú moc zmeniť vaše vnímanie sveta.

Kvantová mechanika I.
První díl moderní dvoudílné učebnice kvantové teorie představuje ucelený a samostatný úvod do nerelativistické kvantové teorie, který čtenáře dovede od formální stavby teorie k archetypálním úlohám, teorii symetrie kvantových systémů a pohybu spinu ve vnějších polích. Připojen je úvod do relativistické teorie elektronu v pojetí určeném pro studium atomárních systémů. Text uzavírají doplňky o matematickém aparátu kvantové mechaniky psané na hraně mezi „fyzikální“ a matematickou přesností. Vykládanou teorii ilustruje kvantověmechanický popis řady problémů s ukázkou odpovídajících experimentů.
Kniha je určena studentům magisterského i doktorandského studia, kteří pracují – ať již teoreticky, nebo experimentálně – v oblasti atomových systémů a fyziky pevných látek.
Autoři při psaní těžili z mnohaletých zkušeností s přednášením kvantové teorie na Univerzitě Karlově v Praze, Masarykově univerzitě v Brně, na Akademii věd a také v zahraničí.
Druhý díl učebnice je věnovaný především mnohočásticové teorii atomárních soustav.

Kniha o umělé inteligenci
Ačkoliv se může zdát, že téma umělé inteligence je ryze současné, Clifford A. Pickover nám v další ze svých bohatě ilustrovaných knih ukáže, že úvahy o myslících strojích sahají hluboko do lidské historie. S umělou inteligencí se můžeme setkat v různých kontextech: v lékařství, populární kultuře, mytologii či filozofii. Kde se objevily pohyblivé automaty napodobující lidi i zvířata? Odkud se bere fascinace androidy a roboty? Kdy software poprvé porazil profesionálního hráče go? V čem spočívají limity velkých jazykových modelů? Kniha obsahuje více než sto krátkých, ale výstižných hesel, vždy doplněných celostránkovou ilustrací. Pickover tímto způsobem čtenářům zprostředkovává jednoduše stravitelný, avšak informovaný pohled na historii, vývoj a budoucí směřování umělé inteligence.
