Quirky Sheffield
Sheffield grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution to become one of the largest cities in the country by the nineteenth century. It was best known for its cutlery industry, producing stainless steel locally, and its steel and coal industries played a vital role in the war effort in the Second World War, leading to the city being targeted by German aerial bombardment. Despite the industrialisation, Sheffield has more green spaces than most cities in Britain and more trees per head of population than any other city in Europe. Lying on the edge of the Peak District, many streets climb into the hills with views beyond the city boundaries.Drawing on archive material as well as his own, extensive, local knowledge Robert Nicholls presents a fresh look at Sheffield - from a slightly different angle – as he delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from the city’s past. Quirky Sheffield celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Sheffield and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Sheffield will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
The Latecomer's Rise
In The Latecomer's Rise, Muyang Chen reveals the nature and impact of a rapidly growing form of international lending: Chinese development finance. Over the past few decades, China has become the world's largest provider of bilateral development finance. Through its two national policy banks, the China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim), it has funded infrastructure and industrial projects in numerous emerging markets and developing countries. Yet this very surge and magnitude of capital has raised questions about the characteristics of Chinese bilateral lending and its repercussions on the international order. Drawing on a variety of novel Chinese primary sources, including interviews and official bank documents, Chen pinpoints the distinctiveness of Chinese bilateral development finance, explains its origins, and analyzes its effects. She compares Chinese policy banks with their foreign counterparts to show that the CDB and China Exim, while state-supported, are in fact also market-oriented - they are as much government organs as they are profit-driven financial agencies that serve both state and firms' interests. This approach, which emerged out of China's particular economic history, suggests that Chinese overseas lending is not merely a tool of economic statecraft that challenges Western-led economic regimes. Instead, China's responses to extant rules, norms, and practices across given issue areas have varied between contestation and convergence. Rich with empirical detail and penetrating insights, The Latecomer's Rise demystifies the little-known workings of Chinese development finance to revise our conceptions of China's role in the international financial system.
Newham at Work
The London Borough of Newham was created in 1965 by the merger of the County Borough Councils of East Ham and West Ham. At first, industry was concentrated on the banks of the river Lea (or Lee). The coming of the railways coupled with the rise of new technologies in the Victorian era, and legislation prohibiting many of the smellier and noisier industries from operating within London led to the rapid growth of industry and population within Newham from the 1840s onwards. The area grew rich from industry, with famous names such as Tate & Lyle and Trebor Sweets, railway engineering at Stratford and the docks. Marshland south of Plaistow and East Ham was drained to create the docks and the industrial areas of Canning Town and Silvertown, the latter named after a local entrepreneur. Much of this industry fell into decline from the late twentieth century. When the docks closed in 1981 and relocated to Tilbury, the London Docklands Development Corporation was set up to regenerate the Docklands area with London City Airport and a new University of East London campus taking their place, and retail became the major employer in the area.Newham at Work explores the working life of this borough in London and its people and the industries that have characterised it through the years. The book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of Newham.
Anne Boleyn's First Love
In the Tudor court, love blossomed when Henry Percy met Anne Boleyn. However, their romance was abruptly torn apart by Cardinal Wolsey, who chastised Percy, an earl’s son, for choosing to marry the daughter of a mere knight. Despite a spirited defence, Percy was ordered to no longer see her. Percy was forced into marrying Mary Talbot, daughter of the fourth Earl of Shrewsbury. The loveless match proved acrimonious and bitter, culminating in Mary accusing her husband of trying to poison her. After a quarrel in which Percy, now sixth Earl of Northumberland, mentioned his betrothal to Anne Boleyn, Mary wrote to her father to warn King Henry VIII that her husband and Anne had been precontracted, hoping to stop the king marrying her. But there was more to Henry Percy than being Anne’s first love. Though often ill, he executed all the rough and arduous duties of Scottish border warfare, proving to be a strong and effective Warden of the North. His was a full life, though not a particularly happy one. In June 1537, aged thirty-five and old before his time, he died poor and ostensibly alone. He was buried on the same day he died, the crown denying him even the usual aristocratic funeral. In the first full-length biography of this fascinating man, Jan-Marie Knights tells a story of love, duty and loss.
Kulturní (dis)kontinuity v českém pohraničí
Východočeské pohraničí bývá často líčeno jako kraj „přerušené paměti“ a ztracených kořenů. Tato kolektivní monografie však nabízí jiný pohled. Představuje Krkonoše, Podkrkonoší, Broumovsko i další oblasti jako dynamický prostor, kde se minulost a přítomnost neustále prolínají – jako místo setkávání, výměny i napětí.
Zásadním zlomem vývoje byla poválečná depopulace spojená s vysídlením německého obyvatelstva a následným dosídlováním. Znamenal tento proces skutečně přerušení kulturní kontinuity? Autoři knihy ukazují, že odpověď není jednoznačná. I v prostředí hlubokých demografických změn mohou kulturní vzorce přetrvávat, proměňovat se nebo znovu vznikat.
Prostřednictvím historických, antropologických i sociologických přístupů publikace sleduje vztah mezi populačními proměnami a kulturním přenosem. Zaměřuje se na paměť krajiny, každodenní život obyvatel, roli institucí i způsoby, jimiž různé skupiny „čtou“ minulost a dávají jí nový význam.
Kniha tak překonává zjednodušující obraz pohraničí jako „vykořeněného“ prostoru a ukazuje jej jako mnohovrstevnatý region, v němž se historická zkušenost nestírá, ale znovu interpretuje – a stává se součástí současných identit.
The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed
In The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed, Éric Rebillard argues that the appearance of Christian signs and practices in the Roman Empire has long been misunderstood. Rather than marking a rapid wave of conversions or the triumph of belief, the spread of Christian signs reflected a more complex and fluid religious landscape. Rebillard offers a striking new account of how Christianity took hold, not through adherence to doctrine or formal membership in a church, but through a gradual diffusion of signs and practices. Drawing on cognitive science, anthropology, and theories of religious mobility, he shows how individuals across the ancient Mediterranean experimented with religious symbols: adopting some, abandoning others, and often blending them without concern for consistency. Rebillard maps out a world where religious affiliation was provisional, situational, and rarely exclusive. The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed challenges the idea that Christianity's rise was a straightforward story of growth, mission, or hegemony. By replacing a triumphalist narrative with one attuned to ambiguity, resilience, and the everyday realities of religious life in late antiquity, Rebillard offers scholars and general readers alike a richer, more accurate account of how Christianity spread—and what that spread actually meant.
Ealing: A Potted History
For much of its history Ealing was a rural village in Middlesex, outside London. Improved communications encouraged first its development as a market garden for the capital and later as an attractive suburb in West London, nicknamed ‘Queen of the Suburbs’. In this book, local historians Dr Jonathan Oates and Paul Howard Lang look back over the centuries to uncover the fascinating history of the district. The new public buildings, churches and chapels played an important role alongside large-scale housing developments from the nineteenth century onwards. Leisure was important in Ealing too. The inhabitants of Ealing included many famous names recorded by blue plaques today but all benefitted from the growth of shopping centres in the area. Not only was it well-known for its open spaces but is also the home of film studios. The stories of Ealing’s places and people bring the history to life, together with illustrations to show where reminders of the area’s past can still be found.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Ealing has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the district.
Transformations in Critical Theory
No matter where or how we live, we face enormous challenges today: inequalities continue to deepen, democratic institutions are being attacked and undermined, the environment is being destroyed and climate change is bringing humanity to a point where its very survival as a species is at stake. What does the tradition of critical theory have to say about the great challenges confronting u? n Transformations in Critical Theory, Maeve Cooke seeks to renew and revitalize Frankfurt School critical theory in ways that will help it engage with key contemporary issues and challenges, while at the same time remaining true to its mission of identifying ways to create a better world for everyone. She seeks to foster communication between critical theory and other intellectual traditions, pushing it beyond Eurocentrism and anthropocentrism and enabling it to expand and enrich its critical methodology and emancipatory visions. She urges critical theory to look outwards, beyond the epistemological and ontological contexts of Western modernity, and to investigate possibilities for better futures opened by this outwards movement. She also urges critical theory to move beyond anthropocentrism and adopt a more ecologically attuned perspective that acknowledges the importance of human relations to other-than-human beings and the ecosystems that sustain all life. Revitalized in this way, the kind of critical theory developed by Cooke re-envisions individual freedom as ethically oriented, self-determining, self-transforming human agency, always opening outwards and towards the future. Such agency is constituted in interrelation with other-than-human entities, attentive to others, human and other-than-human, receptive for new and possibly unsettling experiences and politically as well as ethically-existentially always on the move. This bold work demonstrates that critical theory in the Frankfurt School tradition is not merely a static repository of texts that belong to the early 20th century and only of historic interest but rather a living tradition ready to learn from other traditions, open to the future and capable of being renewed in ways that can help us address some of the great challenges of the 21st–century.
Ipswich: A Potted History
Ipswich grew around its port, established during Anglo-Saxon times for trade with northwestern continental Europe. It became an important religious centre in the Middle Ages, in one of the most populated and wealthy areas of the country. Alongside the docks, and the two rivers, the Orwell and Gipping, industries grew up to support the local agricultural economy and the population migrated from surrounding areas as well as from further afield and abroad. The mix has given Ipswich a lively cultural history that remains to the present day and alongside the working dock area much of the waterfront has been redeveloped for leisure and housing but as with all large towns, particularly ports, Ipswich’s history also encompasses how it had to deal with justice, crime and punishment.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Ipswich has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the town.
The Air War Through German Eyes
Starting with leaflet drops in 1940, the aerial offensive against the Nazis’ homeland grew into a huge armada that pulverised much of Germany, seriously damaging her ability to make war and killing hundreds of thousands. By day, the Flying Fortresses of the Mighty Eighth US Airforce confronted the day fighters of Luftflotte Reich, and then it was the turn of Bomber Command’s Lancasters to fight off the deadly predators of the Nachtjagd (night hunters). The tactics and technology of Allied escort fighters evolved quickly though the war years, as they did for the defending German fighters. For the Allied airmen who fought this war the price was frighteningly high, for those who opposed them – in the air and on the ground – it was even higher. As the bombing increased, Nazi high command was forced to devote more and more resources to try and defeat the Allied campaign, just when those same resources were desperately needed elsewhere, both on the Russian Front and, after D-Day on 6 June 1944, on the new Western Front. Written from the ‘other side’ and told as much as possible through the words of the veterans, this is an important book on one of the most controversial campaigns of the Second World War.
Tank Art
Mick Graham, acclaimed artist and veteran soldier of the Royal Tank Regiment, has been interested in tanks his entire life. As a young lad in the late 1960s he used to play on the obsolete Bundeswehr M47s and M48s heading down range at Hohne, Germany, where his father was stationed. He went on to fire at these same ‘hard targets’ as a Chieftain tank gunner in the early 1980s. Always cherishing these moments, he dabbled in painting during his military career but never felt his work was anything special. Having resumed painting seven years ago, today, Mick’s stunning depictions of tanks in their natural environment with incredible attention to detail are highly sought after by veterans, serving soldiers, museums and companies such as Royal Mail.Lavishly illustrated with more than a hundred original artworks, this book tells the story of an ex-tankie with a unique and self-taught talent for bringing back to life the memories of service members, young and old.

Zamestnanec má voči zamestnávateľovi povinnosti, ktoré sa zaviazal plniť pri podpise pracovnej zmluvy, jednou z povinnosti je aj dodržiavanie pracovnej disciplíny. Ak zamestnanec pracovnú disciplínu nedodrží, môžu nasledovať sankcie. Aké sankcie môže zamestnávateľ za porušenie pracovnej disciplíny uplatniť? Intenzita porušenia pracovnej disciplíny je jedným zo základných hľadísk pri rozhodovaní o postihu (sankcie) za porušenie pracovnej disciplíny. Zákonník práce rozlišuje medzi dvoma intenzitami porušenia pracovnej disciplíny - závažné a menej závažné, pričom rozdiel medzi závažným a menej závažným porušením pracovnej disciplíny súčasná právna úprava nevymedzuje. Čo sa teda považuje za závažné a za menej závažné porušenie pracovnej disciplíny sa ponecháva na posúdení alebo rozhodnutí zamestnávateľa, ktorý by mal ku každému zamestnancovi a k posúdeniu jeho porušenia pracovnej disciplíny pristupovať individuálne, s prihliadnutím na konkrétne konanie konkrétneho zamestnanca.
Roman Life on Hadrian’s Wall
Pioneering merchants and traders, soldiers’ wives and children, and slaves are among the many civilians who settled alongside the Roman army at Hadrian’s Wall. These people’s lives can be traced through the things they left behind. Children lost socks and wooden swords when they played, and wives and daughters wore fancy hairpins that fell out when they went to the bathhouses. Hunting dogs were fed and bred for soldiers’ sport, and slaves kept fort hypocausts burning. Roman Life on Hadrian’s Wall pieces together this wide-ranging archaeological evidence to reveal these people’s stories. It will inform and change how you think about everyday Roman life at this remote frontier, the most-visited Roman remains in Britain.
Taking Territory
Taking Territory is an eye-opening account of why territorial conquest remains a phenomenon today. The end of World War II seemingly brought about a decline of territorial conquest. Many have argued that a strong territorial integrity norm in the postwar era explains this decline. Yet as Dan Altman shows, states have seized territory numerous times since 1945. Large-scale conquests have waned, but small, targeted seizures have persisted. The relationship between conquest and war has also shifted. While states attempting conquest before 1945 often initiated war, then sought to occupy large territories, challengers today more often seize small regions, then try to avoid war. This strategy, the fait accompli, has become the predominant mode of conquest. Drawing on his own original data consisting of 175 conquest attempts between 1918 and 2024, Altman explains why conquest persists, what motivates it, when it turns violent, and when it succeeds. He shows how miscalculated faits accomplis have sparked many post-1945 wars and why the motives behind many territorial grabs are often about image, domestic politics, and the ambitions of military officers. Incisive and illuminating, Taking Territory cuts against what we think we know about post-1945 conquest to reveal its true causes and consequences.
Rightless Resistance
Rightless Resistance investigates why resistance to land grabbing so often fails. The rapid expansion of oil palm plantations has triggered widespread conflict across rural Indonesia as communities lose their land with little compensation. Based on an unprecedented study of 150 such conflicts, this book uncovers how villagers fight back against palm oil companies, and what their struggles reveal about power, law, and citizenship in postcolonial Indonesia. Enduring colonial legacies and collusive politics have left rural Indonesians virtually rightless, so villagers turn to customary traditions and social norms instead of formal law – a strategy that rarely gets results. By analyzing this resistance to corporate land grabbing, Ward Berenschot, Ahmad Dhiaulhaq, Afrizal, and Otto Hospes offer a new perspective on why land rights movements often fall short. When the legal system is unreliable, people aim lower—and the deeper power imbalances facilitating their dispossession go unchallenged.
Moudrost vyžaduje úsilí
V tomto dlouho očekávaném posledním dílu série knih studující stoické ctnosti Ryan Holiday odhaluje tu, na níž závisí všechny ostatní ctnosti.
Ze všech stoických ctností – odvaha, disciplína, spravedlivost a moudrost – je moudrost tou nejvíc neuchopitelnou. To je obzvláště patrné v době, kdy jsou odměňovány reakce a prázdné řeči, zatímco zdrženlivost a rozvážnost jsou nemoderní. Velcí státníci a filozofové minulosti by se nenechali oklamat, jako my, titulky novin, vnějšími zdáními nebo primární přitažlivostí tribalismu. Věděli příliš mnoho o historii, o vlastních nedostatcích, o nutnosti spolupráce, aby toho všeho dosáhli. To je moudrost – a my ji potřebujeme víc než kdy jindy.
Moudrost je hlavním principem Ryana Holidaye a kniha Moudrost vyžaduje úsilí je vrcholem jeho celoživotního díla. Na základě fascinujících příběhů starověkých i moderních osobností Holiday ukazuje, jak rozvíjet moudrost prostřednictvím čtení, sebevzdělávání a zkušeností. Na příkladech životů Montaigne, Senecy, Joan Didion, Abrahama Lincolna a dalších nás Holiday učí, jak více naslouchat než mluvit, jak myslet s nuancemi, jak nemilosrdně zpochybňovat svá přesvědčení a jak vyvinout metodu sebevzdělávání. Přesvědčivě dokládá nutnost duševního úsilí a varuje před zkratkami, které nás připravují o skutečné poznání. Ukazuje nám, jak nebezpečné mohou být moc a inteligence bez mírnícího vlivu moudrosti.
Absence zvědavosti a rozvahy je pro nás všechny katastrofou, tvrdí Ryan Holiday. Tato neuvěřitelně aktuální kniha diagnostikuje největší problém současné doby a nabízí řešení pro další postup. Moudrost vyžaduje úsilí – ale stojí za to.

Psychedelika a duše
Mytologická cesta deseti archetypy psychedelického léčení: starodávné příběhy, konkrétní nástroje a vhledy hlubinné psychologie.
Kniha Psychedelika a duše je koncipována pro novou generaci psychedelických průvodců a hledajících. Vzývá tradice jungovské hlubinné psychologie, mytologii a moudrost domorodých kultur, aby dokázala odpovědět na zásadní otázku naší doby: Jak může nově vznikající obor psychedelické medicíny uzdravit duši v době planetární krize a zároveň kolektivní příležitosti?
Psychedelický terapeut Simon Yugler ve své první knize utkal mytopoetickou tapiserii zkoumající deset univerzálních témat, jež přesahují naše osobní zkušenosti:
Studna: Nevědomí, symbolika a mytické neznámo
Chrám: Nad rámec vnitřního a vnějšího nastavení
Podsvětí: Stín, žal a sestup do duše
Had: Psychedelická somatika a svlékání kůže
Netvor: Trauma, vyhnanství a rána, která se zahojí
Šibal: Marginalita, křižovatky a liminální cesta
Průvodce: Moc, autenticita a vnitřní autorita
Posvátná hora: Vize, extáze a stávání se nikým
Strom života: Animismus, změna klimatu a Země mající duši
Cesta domů: Integrace, společenství a tanec s vesnicí
Každý archetyp působí jako prizma, které prostřednictvím mýtů, bájných příběhů a univerzální moudrosti odráží směrem ke čtenáři kolektivní zkušenosti a nevědomé pravdy, jež formují naši psychiku – a jež se díky psychedelikům stávají hlubokomyslnějšími a přístupnějšími. Simon Yugler se s námi dělí o zkušenosti, jak entheogeny a rostlinná medicína otevírají bránu k porozumění naší kultuře, nám samým a propojené realitě, a jak můžeme směřovat i k možnému uzdravení společnosti či celé planety.
Doubt, Hope, Action
Doubt, Hope, Action is Uffe Elbak’s journey in search of hope and an invitation to a gentle revolution. In this thoughtful and provocative book, Elbak explores many of the challenges and contradictions that define our time – especially the urgent question: What kind of world are we leaving for future generation? hapter by chapter Elbak confronts the planetary endgame we face. A collapse of both outer and inner structures. From climate collapse, epidemics and violent social, political and technological conflicts, through the weakening of democratic institutions, right-wing radicalisation and fighting over resources, to regional warfare and the reemergence of something looking very much like old-fashioned imperialism. He refuses to accept despair. Why? Because he knows that another world is possible. And that it is already here in the values-driven entrepreneurs, democratic businesses, citizen groups, cooperatives, cultural initiatives, organic farming collectives and a whole new generation of progressive political voices. Every one of them is a pledge that a green, democratic, post-capitalist society is possible. Blending sharp social analysis with heartfelt optimism, Doubt, Hope, Action urges progressive movements and all people to recognise their shared purpose—and to unite, mobilise, and act. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.
1929
ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2025
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2025 IN THE Financial Times, Economist, New Statesman, Bloomberg, TIME, Washington Post and The New York Times
'Superb... brings the great drama to life' Martin Wolf, Financial Times
From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, "the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,"* comes a spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history one with ripple effects that still shape our society today
In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded-one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin.
With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivety in an endless boom led to wreckage. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today's world-where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again.
This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that "this time is different." It's about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming-only to be dismissed until it was too late.
Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time-with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.
