Mischlinge
A FORGOTTEN MANUSCRIPT. A FAMILY SECRET. AND THE URGENT NEED TO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE CHILDREN HITLER WANTED DEAD. THE TRUE STORY OF THE MISCHLINGE. Mischling (plural: Mischlinge): a cruel, derogatory term created by the Nazi regime to brand those of 'mixed blood'; children born to both Jewish and Aryan parents and grandparents. A word designed to degrade, divide and deny humanity. Berlin, 1935. A knock sounds at the Bernstein family's door. Eight-year-old Edie answers it to two Gestapo officials, who issue an unthinkable ultimatum; Edie's mother must divorce her Jewish husband – for the supposed 'protection' of her children. They hear the word Mischlinge for the first time. And from that moment on. it becomes a stain that seeps into every corner of their existence. Teachers and classmates gradually turn against Edie and her big brother Heini. Neighbours begin disappearing in the night. With each passing day, the circle tightens – until there is no safe place at home or on the streets. As antisemitic laws multiply and people around them disappear, Edie and Heini are dragged into a world of interrogation, surveillance and fear. Every knock at the door threatens separation. Every whisper risks arrest. Yet even as the Nazis close in, Edie and Heini refuse to let go of one another. 'Perhaps the most remarkable untold history of the Holocaust. Sharon Ring has done her mum proud with this brilliant – and utterly terrifying – story. A story so unlikely that it reads like a novel – yet every word is true.' – Rory Clements
The Lives of the Caesars
A masterful new translation of Suetonius' renowned biography of the twelve Caesars, bringing to life a portrait of the first Roman emperors in stunning detail
The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biography invites us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than that by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the centre of Rome and power, in AD 121.
Placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius injected flesh and blood into their stories, which continue to inform how we understand the drama of power today. Their shortfalls, foreign policy crises and sex scandals are laid bare; we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities; and we sit at their tables and enter their bedrooms, resulting in a series of biographies mediated through the lives of the Caesars themselves.
That Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius, and now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer in a new, spellbinding translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of the Caesars and of how they inevitably informed what happened across the vast expanse of empire, The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.
Space Journal
A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the seventeenth century to the present day.
An endless source of fascination, space is both alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. Space Journal is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures. In drawings and diagrams, plans, charts, and paintings, a great range of scientists and dreamers each tell their own story of an element of space exploration. Their visions were largely based in the scientific understanding of their time, but as it turns out, many of the principles remain.
Moving beyond a collection of space snapshots, this book benefits from the unmatched insights of journalist and collector Dallas Campbell, who weaves together priceless memorabilia, revolutionary experiments, and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with the unknown throughout history. From Galileo’s shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy’s own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell’s lavishly illustrated orbit sets out the radical thinkers and creatives who envisioned us leaving our planet - or having guests stop by - and in some cases, made it happen.

God is an Englishman
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025'Allows us to understand the profound, and often profoundly beneficial, impact of Christianity' Anthony Seldon'Superb ... Lively and erudite' The Telegraph'Tremendous ... The arguments are truly profound' The Spectator'A finely judged and beautifully written account' Peter FrankopanChristianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being los? ijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, in areas ranging from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its influence, he contends, has been enormous, largely benign, and shouldn’t be lightly abandoned. Ending with a rousing call to retain Christianity, rightly understood, as a way of dealing with both the eternal questions of the human condition, as well as the malaises of modernity, this is an erudite and tender tribute to our Christian history and heritage.
Finding Dad
Peter Bessell was a British Member of Parliament, publicly described as a rogue; an MI6 agent; an MI5 agent; a secret advisor to the US government; a South African BOSS spy; a fraud; a charlatan; a lounge lizard; a murderer; a compulsive liar; a fantasist; a 'grass'; a 'man who operated in the shadowy world of politicians, bankers, fixers, conmen, and criminals'; and a sex addict. These descriptions were not made as some tittle tattle between courses at private dinner parties, they were made by respected people and mainstream publications. It was a judge who called him a liar, and Henry Kissinger who referred to him as a charlatan. What kind of man attracts this level of abuse, and how much of it was true?'Finding Dad' is the extraordinary story of Paul Bessell's uncomfortable discovery of the truth about Peter Bessell, his father, set against a background of astonishing business and political corruption. As a one-time pillar of the establishment and jet-setting financier, Bessell gained international notoriety as the chief prosecution witness in the Jeremy Thorpe trial. But his life was much more than the Thorpe affair. Drawing from extensive research from previously unseen, extensive archives left by is parents, the US and UK National Archives, Paul takes us on a compelling quest to reconcile all the upsetting things he has been told, and read, about his father against his own memories of the gentle, generous and kind man he loved. The story takes readers through the glamorous political and business worlds of 1960s and 70s London and New York, through mysterious work on behalf of governments, and-via fraud, murder plots and sex-to the Old Bailey and the 'trial of the century'.
America in the 21st Century
A sweeping political, economic, and social history of the United States from 2000 to 2025. America’s 21st century began with a bug—and nearly ended with another. Having survived the Y2k scare, the United States, having ended the Soviet Empire, expected to settle down into a period of quiet, if uninspiring, growth. What followed was anything but calm. After the 9/11 attacks, Americans were pulled inexorably into a pair of wars in the Middle East that saw President George W. Bush’s popularity go from nearly universal to nearly the worst in history. Bush’s presidency was finished off by the “Subprime Mortgage Crisis,” which in part enabled the rise of a young Barack Obama to the presidency. Instead of uniting America, Obama divided it further as Congress descended into years of futility while the American working class collapsed and American industry left. In 2016, Donald Trump ran on the platform of restoring the American dream, but was hamstrung by “resist” and “lawfare,” two relatively new political strategies that limited his achievements. A second “bug,” COVID-19, struck America in Trump’s final year, building enough dissatisfaction that, under questionable circumstances, Joe Biden was elected. A dissatisfied America boomeranged to make Trump only the second president in history to win an election, lose it, then win it again. Throughout, America’s economy, technology, and social structure changed in volcanic ways.
Emperor of the Seas
Genghis Khan built a formidable land empire, but he never crossed the sea.
Yet by the time his grandson Kublai Khan had defeated the last vestiges of the Song empire and established the Yuan dynasty in 1279, the Mongols controlled the most powerful navy in the world. How did a nomad come to conquer China and master the sea? Based on ten years of research and a lifetime of immersion in Mongol culture and tradition, Emperor of the Seas brings this little-known story vibrantly to life. Kublai Khan is one of history’s most fascinating characters.
He brought Islamic mathematicians to his court, where they invented modern cartography and celestial measurement. He transformed the world’s largest land mass into a unified, diverse and economically progressive empire, introducing paper money. And, after bitter early setbacks, he transformed China into an outward looking sea-faring empire.
By the end of his reign, the Chinese were building and supplying remarkable ships to transport men, grain, and weapons over vast distances, of a size and dexterity that would be inconceivable in Europe for hundreds of years. Khan had come to a brilliant realization: control the sea, and you control everything.

White Supremacy
Buffalo, New York, 2022. Ten black people murdered. The killer, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, says he was driven by 'Great Replacement' - the conspiracy theory that a Jewish-led elite is replacing white people with black and brown people. This, and a spate of similar hate crimes, begs the question: what are the origins of such behaviou? avin Evans traces the historical roots of white supremacy. He begins in the 19th century with Charles Darwin and his cousin Francis Galton's race-based theories before looking at the spread of eugenics ideas throughout the UK, Europe and the United States, their Holocaust-prompted decline after the Second World War, and their revival in a different guise through the promotion of race science from the late 20th century. Evans also examines the hatching of 'Great Replacement' conspiratorial ideas in the 21st century - and their expression via alt-right forums to the minds of troubled young men with access to assault rifles. White Supremacy breaks new ground in showing the links between mainstream 'Replacement Theory' and the terrorist version cited by far-right killers. It also traces the thread between these ideas and the race science promoted both by the far right and establishment figures. It looks at what these ideas have in common with those promoted by, for example, the founder of eugenics.
Stíhací eso luftwaffe
Samotný Norbert Hannig skromně připouští, že byl frontovým letcem neboli operačním pilotem, který během druhé světové války nedělal nic zvláštního. Byl jen, jak sám říká, jedním z mnoha řadových pilotů, kteří bojovali za svou vlast a ne za Führera. Ale jeho válečná kariéra je fascinujícím a vysoce informativním čtením zejména o tažení proti Sovětskému svazu. Patřil ke střední generaci stíhacích pilotů luftwaffe a počátkem roku 1943 začal operačně létat v 54. stíhací skupině na východní frontě (Leningrad). Nejprve to bylo s Messerschmittem Bf 109 a pak se přeškolil na Focke-Wulf 190. Sloužil také ve speciální operační jednotce JV 44, které velel Adolf Galland. Po roce bojového nasazení na východní frontě se vrátil do Německa jako letecký instruktor. Brzy ho přeložili zase do Ruska a v roce 1945 se stal velitelem letky. V závěrečných fázích války létal také s prvním proudovým letounem na světě, Me-262. Válku skončil se 42 sestřely z více než 200 misí. Během posledních chaotických měsíců války zajali Norberta Spojenci.

The Burning of the White House
It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814 enemies didn't fly overhead, they marched through the streets; and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, D.C. and set fire to government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol and the White House. Relying on first-hand accounts, historian Jane Hampton Cook weaves together several different narratives to create a vivid, multidimensional account of the burning of Washington, including the escalation that led to it and the immediate aftermath. From James and Dolley Madison to the British admiral who ordered the White House set aflame, historical figures are brought to life through their experience of this unprecedented attack. The Burning of the White House is the story of a city invaded, a presidential family displaced, a nation humbled, and an American spirit that somehow remained unbroken.
Poznaj svoje EMÓCIE a rozprávaj sa s nimi
Kniha učí čitateľa premeniť svoje negatívne emócie na emócie pozitívne. Učí sebariadeniu emócii. Robí tak pomocou brilantného systému dialógov. Učí čitateľa viesť vnútorný dialóg tak, že vytvára jasný algoritmus, ktorý negatívnu emóciu zoslabuje, pozitívnu posilňuje a človek si vytvára nové myšlienkové „okuliare“. Čitateľ si vytvorí nový „automatický vnútorný hlas“. Ak človek číta desiatky dialógov, mozog si vytvorí nové frázy, nový tón, nový spôsob reakcie na seba, nový štýl argumentácie. To je presne ten návyk, ktorý človek potrebuje, aby zvládal úzkosti, reguloval hnev, posilnil sebavedomie, a zlepšil sebaprijatie. Toto je extrémne účinné a učí čitateľa priamo, názorne, opakovane a to je presne to, čo ľuďom chýba v ich vlastnej hlave.
Nagato-class Battleships 1920–46
An illustrated study of Japan’s Nagato-class battleships: the IJN’s powerful super-dreadnoughts, which were heavily modernized to fight in World War II. Illustrated with the author’s much-acclaimed 3D reconstructions, naval researcher Stefan Draminski offers a technical and operational study of Nagato and Mutsu, Japan’s most powerful battleships of the dreadnought era. They were the world’s first battleships to mount 16-inch guns, and signalled Japan’s determination to build a fleet that qualitatively outmatched the world’s leading navies. Entering service in the 1920s, they would be heavily modernized before the outbreak of the Pacific War, which Nagato would start as Yamamoto’s flagship for the Pearl Harbor attack. Both ships were present at the Battle of Midway, and though Mutsu would be sunk by a magazine explosion in 1943, Nagato fought at Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf, before being modified again and moored at Yokosuka as an antiaircraft battery. The last Japanese battleship afloat on VJ-Day, Nagato was sunk in 1946 at Bikini Atoll in the Crossroads nuclear test. Drawing on Japanese-language sources and original documentation, this is a concisely detailed account of these formidable battleships, superbly illustrated with archive photos and artwork showing the ships through their careers and in action.

American Hope
'Immensely readable ... Lamb's assessment is cool and considered: a thoughtful overview of the conclave's fruit in Leo's first year, and the challenges he faces. The author's gifts for rendering complexity digestible are on full display: American Hope is the most thorough and insightful overview out there of the Church at the start of the Leonine era' - Austen Ivereigh, The Tablet'Incisive ... American Hope combines background with predictions, lacing both together with a strong narrative and mastery of Vatican politics as well as theology ... The influence of Lamb's day job, as CNN's Vatican correspondent, can be seen here in the ease with which he places the Pope in a global context, not least in comparing him with US president Donald Trump and his VP, Catholic convert JD Vance' - Catherine Pepinster, TelegraphAs white smoke signaled a new pope had been chosen on the evening of May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost went from being a relatively unknown cardinal to one of the most famous people on earth, the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that there would never be an American pope. Is it a coincidence that he was chosen at a time of unprecedented political turbulence in the United States? Had the cardinals seen in him someone who would act as a spiritual counterweight to President Donald Trum? n American Hope CNN's Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo means not just for the Catholic Church, but for the world. Drawing on his deep understanding of the Vatican and high-level access to cardinals and senior figures, Lamb paints a portrait of Leo as someone who combines an ability to unify with a steely determination to reform. He provides insights into the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy as the new pope steers a path between traditionalists and reformers. Leo is set to make a profound impact on the Church at a transformative moment in its history. In the era of "America First", the story of Leo's life and ministry asks what it truly means to be an American. In a world of conflict, he stands for peace. In a time of uncertainty, he offers a sense of hope.
