Erasing History
Combining historical research with an in-depth analysis of our modern political landscape, Erasing History issues a dire warning for the world: the worst fascist movements of humanity's past began in schools; the same place so many of today's right-wing political parties have trained their most vicious attacks.
Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vladimir Putin, Turkey's Recip Erdogan, and Argentina's Javier Milei have all reached the same conclusion: if you want to roll back the clock on civil rights, equity and inclusion, a great place to start is in schools.
Yale professor Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the right's tactics and traces their inspirations and funding back to some of the most dangerous ideas of human history. He shows that hearts and minds are won in our schools and universities - and that governments are currently ill-prepared to do the work of uprooting fascist policies being foisted upon our children through school boards, in courtrooms, and in the boardrooms of the organisations trusted to train teachers and create the materials they'll share with their students.
ADHD
Informative, empathetic and empowering for families and their brilliant neurodivergent children. Alex Partridge, bestselling author of Now It All Makes SenseA must-read for every parent or teacher of a child with ADHD. Lisa Lloyd, bestselling author of Raising the SEN-BetweenersThis essential guide offers clear, practical advice to help parents understand ADHD, support their child's unique strengths with joy and confidence. Zenna Hopson, Former chairman of OfstedIs your ADHD child struggling at school? Do they make friends, but find it difficult to keep them? Do your attempts to get them off their screens end in tears (and that's just you)? Jessie Hewitson, SEND Agony Aunt for The Times, ADHDer and parent to two fantastically neurodivergent children, has been there. Here she asks whether ADHD is over diagnosed, is medication the solution, and how can parents best support ADHD kids to become the happiest version of themselves at school, in their friendships, and at home. For more than a decade Jessie has been on a quest to better understand neurodivergent happiness and the many barriers young ADHD people face in finding it. Now she shares everything she has learned, including interviews with world-leading scientists, researchers and experts in the field. Combined with her own personal experience, ADHD will empower you to centre happiness in what can be a more complicated and ultimately more rewarding parenting journey.
Tip of the Tongue States
The tip-of-the-tongue state-the feeling that something that we cannot recall is close to coming to mind-is a window onto many facets of the human mind. It lies at an intersection where memory mechanisms, language processes, attention, metacognition, conscious awareness, goal-driven behaviours, curiosity, and even decision-making and risk-taking all seem to cross. In this book, Anne Cleary and Bennett Schwartz explain how tip-of-the-tongue states fit into our overall cognitive systems and what they tell us about the nature of cognition and consciousness. The tip-of-the-tongue state can wield enormous power over our attentional focus and what we choose to do next, regardless of what we had been doing before the onset of the feeling. In short, it wields the ability to redirect our mind. Cleary and Schwartz's text will appeal to students and researchers interested in the workings of the mind and brain.
Gift and Grit
In 1998, Bill Clinton hosted a town hall on race and sports. ''If you''ve got a special gift,'' the president said of athletes, ''you owe more back.'' Gift and Grit shows how the sports industry has incubated racial ideas about advantage and social debt since the civil rights era by sorting athletes into two broad categories. The gifted athlete received something for nothing, we''re told, and owes the team, the fan, the city, God, nation. The gritty athlete received nothing and owes no one. The distinction between gift and grit is racial, but also, Joseph Darda reveals, racializing: It has structured new racial categories and redrawn racial lines. Sports, built on an image of fairness, inform how we talk about advantage and deservedness in other domains, including immigration, crime, education, and labor. Gift and Grit tells the stories of Roger Bannister, Roberto Clemente, Martina Navratilova, Florence Griffith Joyner, and LeBron James ? and the story their stories tell about the shifting meaning of race in America.
The Big Hop
A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today. But it is only possible because of those who went first.''Capturing not only the perils faced by the intrepid airmen who attempted the flight, but also their humanity'' JOHN LANCASTER, author of The Great Air RaceNewfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft struggled to take to the air. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold, but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them . . .The young aviators who would get off the ground had already defied death many times during World War One. David Rooney’s evocative and deeply researched account shows how it was their thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the ‘Big Hop’, and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure.These Atlantic pioneers weren’t scientists or upper-class officers. They were ordinary men, risking their lives in the name of progress, who ultimately ushered in the age of global connection in which we live now.''Fabulous ... Works on every level, balancing technological know-how with superb characterisation’ JACKY HYAMS, author of Hurricane: The Plane that Won the War
Freedom
We are all afraid that new dangers pose a threat to our hard-won freedoms, so what deserves attention is precisely the notion of freedom.The concept of freedom is deceptively simple. We think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individualism, Žižek draws on philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as the work of Kandinsky and Agatha Christie to examine the many facets of freedom and what we can learn from each of them.Today, with the latest advances in digital control, our social activity can be controlled and regulated to such a degree that the liberal notion of a free individual becomes obsolete and even meaningless. How will we be obliged to reinvent (or limit) the contours of our freedom?Tracing its connection to everything from capitalism and war to the state and environmental breakdown, Žižek takes us on an illuminating and entertaining journey that shows how a deeper understanding of freedom can offer hope in dark times.
Others Like Me
In a world that expects all women to become mothers, what happens to those who circumvent motherhood?
Now and throughout history, women without children have been misunderstood and even vilified for not conforming to the prescriptive path of daughter, wife, mother, whether by choice, circumstance or ambivalence. But with an increasing number of people choosing to forego children, Nicole Louie knew she was not alone. As she recounts her own journey towards embracing a life without children, Louie weaves in stories from the women around the world she found in her search for community and guidance, from their pasts to their presents to their hopes for the future.
Others Like Me is a candid, tender and distinctive exploration of how fourteen women found fulfilment and flourished outside of motherhood, upending stereotypes and offering reassurance and recognition down a much-treaded but lesser-known track.
The Golden Rule
Pre-order the latest book from Dr Lucy Pollock, a wise, compassionate and helpful guide to ageing happily''The Golden Rule is part manifesto for better integration and appreciation between generations, and part reflection on a career spent looking after our elders, [. . .] with good humour, sanity, wisdom and quite a few jokes'' The Times''From the first pages, the impression you have is how much you’d want Pollock as your medical practitioner. . . this warm and compassionate book is part reflection, part rallying cry to set in place a better society for older people'' Daily Mail''Beautiful and wise, filled with characters I know living through situations I recognise, filtered through the kindness of thoughtful storytelling'' Kathryn Mannix, author of With the End in Mind__________In a society obsessed with staying young, how can we age with confidence?Today, we are living longer lives, and have choices now as never before about how we will age.What will make us happy?What are we frightened of, and what might allay those fears?What changes, made right now, will help us to flourish as we age?This book contains lessons Lucy Pollock has learned from thirty years of working with older people and those close to them. It looks at problems that can be fixed with tests and tablets, and problems that require a different sort of medicine. Lucy explains what she has been taught about loss, about impossible families, about becoming older without children, and the important things she has learned about sexuality, race, love and living with uncertainty.The Golden Rule sets out guiding principles we can all try to live by, in the hope that together we can bring about positive change, and all benefit from a kinder, more compassionate society.Here is how we may meet our futures with optimism and confidence.__________

Haywire
‘In this fascinating book, Andrew Hindmoor makes sense of the tangled past we have just lived through ... sprinkling wit, insight and analytical verve over his energetic narrative. In contemporary British political history, his will be the distinctive voice of his generation'' Peter Hennessy Vladimir Lenin, an occasional resident of North London who went on to other things, has been credited with once saying that there are decades where nothing happens but weeks when decades happen. The first two and a half decades of this century in Britain have had plenty of those weeks. Indeed, our recent history has at times resembled an episode of Casualty, the long-running BBC hospital drama in which every hedge trimmer slips, every gas pipe leaks, every piece of scaffolding collapses and everyone ends up in intensive care.In Haywire Andrew Hindmoor makes sense of the deluge of events which have rained down on Britain since 2000, from the Iraq War to financial collapse, austerity to Brexit, as well as more easily forgotten moments such as the MP’s expenses scandal. He shows not simply how one crisis has quickly followed another, but how each crisis has compounded the next, so that disaster feels like the new normal. Has Britain simply been the victim of a particularly prolonged run of bad luck which will, sooner or later, come to an end? No. Hindmoor argues that the way the British state is organised has, time and again, made a crisis out of a drama – and that it is time to find an alternative before we all go haywire.
Civil War and Intrastate Armed Conflict
Civil wars and intrastate armed conflict are the predominant form of organized violence in the contemporary era. Beyond their direct devastating impact, they fundamentally change societies and are linked to broader global issues and challenges. Taking a thematic approach with a focus on conflict management and peacebuilding, this accessible textbook engages with recent research and comprehensive data to explore the nature of civil war and violent intrastate conflict. With analysis of current and historical conflicts integrated into the chapter coverage, helpful features include boxes highlighting key cases and topics, discussion points opening each chapter, graphs that illustrate important trends, photographs of significant conflicts, suggested readings for each chapter, and a timeline signposting major conflict and security events since 1945. Lecture slides are provided to instructors as an accessible entry point to topics for students from different backgrounds, including those less familiar with data.

Buda & Pest - ahogy kezdődött
A több szerző által közösen írt "Buda és Pest - egy város zivataros századaiból" című történelmi regény hatalmas sikert aratott, az "Év könyve" lett, valamint elnyerte az esztendő legjelentősebb Magyarországon megjelent kötete részére odaítélhető Fitz József-díjat is. A sokszínű, mégis egységes történetet feldolgozó, monumentális mű Buda és Pest nyolcszáz éves történetét mutatta be, két család generációinak - sokszor egymással összefonódó - sorsán keresztül. A 2023-ban megjelent regény cselekménye 1241-ben indult. De vajon mi történhetett ezt megelőzően…?
A kötet, amit a kedves Olvasó éppen a kezében tart, az előzményeket igyekszik bemutatni. Egy újabb kalandos, romantikus, rejtélyekkel átszőtt történetben megismerhetjük a Farkas és a Révész család őseit. Hogyan kerültek a Duna partjára, miként alakult az életük a tatárjárást megelőző évszázadokban? Az időutazás az ókori Aquincumban veszi kezdetét, ahol elkészül egy átoktábla, ami később, a magyarok honfoglalása után előbukkan a múlt homályából. Vajon hogyan alakítja, befolyásolja a misztikus tárgy a két főszereplő család sorsát? Miként élik meg hőseink az ősi és az új hit összeütközését, az országot sújtó külső támadásokat és belső viszályokat? Hogyan épülnek, küzdenek és gyarapodnak a Duna két partján álló, egymással folyamatosan kacérkodó települések? A regény ezekre a kérdésekre úgy adja meg a választ, hogy közben számos olyan titok is feltárul, amely az első kötetben még rejtve maradt.

Rakety a řízené střely nad Ukrajinou
Kniha Rakety a řízené střely nad Ukrajinou se věnuje rusko-ukrajinskému válečnému konfliktu, v němž obě strany nasazují rakety a řízené střely velmi často. A to ať už pocházejí z éry bývalého Sovětského svazu, nebo jsou zcela moderní a na ukrajinském bojišti jsou použity poprvé. Jak přesvědčivě autor na řadě příkladů dokládá, bez pomoci Západu, bez dodávek těch nejmodernějších zbraňových systémů, by Ukrajina stěží byla schopna ruské hrozbě čelit. Čtenáři nabízí tato publikace podrobné seznámení se všemi raketami a řízenými střelami, s jejich účinky jak na vojenské, tak civilní cíle, včetně ruských raket odpalovaných z moře a protilodních střel užívaných tak efektivně ukrajinskou stranou například proti ruskému křižníku Moskva. Značný zájem pak u čtenářů určitě vyvolají – vedle popisu četných ex-sovětských, ukrajinských a ruských protitankových raket (RPG) a střel – zbraňové systémy dodávané NATO, zahrnující Javelin, NLAW a Brimstone. K důkladnému obeznámení se s tématem přispívají doprovodné kresby a fotografie.
České vydání je oproti originálu na několika místech doplněno o aktuální informace (Střela Orešnik, Mocný Taurus, Patriot versus Kinžal).
Fake News – What’s the harm?
Former news reporter and founder of Africa’s first fact-checking organisation Peter Cunliffe-Jones argues that since concern about ‘information disorder’ soared in 2016, we have laboured under flawed assumptions about the nature and effects of ‘fake news’ and misinformation. Based on a four-year review of 250 case studies, Cunliffe-Jones sets out four ideas for fact-checkers, policymakers and platforms to curb harmful consequences and protect wider freedom of speech. First, information disorder is about more than misinformation. Second, misinformation in offline settings can cause as big a problem as misinformation online. Third, misinformation that affects policymakers can be as bad as misinformation that affects the public. Fourth, he proposes a model for fact-checkers, researchers and platforms to distinguish false claims that do and do not have substantive potential to cause substantive consequences.

Kresťanstvo a liberalizmus
Táto klasická obrana biblického kresťanstva spísaná pred storočím ako odpoveď na liberalizmus, ktorý sa v cirkvi rozmohol začiatkom 20. storočia, etabluje dôležitosť biblického učenia a porovnáva učenie liberalizmu a biblického kresťanstva o Bohu, človeku, Biblii, Kristovi, spasení a o cirkvi. Dielo Kresťanstvo a liberalizmus od Johna Greshama Machena si zachovalo svoje opodstatnenie naprieč desaťročiami od svojho pôvodného vydania v roku 1923. Časopis World ho zaradil medzi 100 najlepších kníh druhého tisícročia a časopis Christianity Today medzi 100 najlepších kníh dvadsiateho storočia.
