Extreme Ownership
The blockbuster bestselling leadership book that took America and the world by storm.
Jocko Willink and Leif Babin are ex US Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special forces unit of the Iraq War. Now they demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.
Combat teaches the toughest leadership lessons, with absolutely everything at stake. Jocko Willink and Leif Babin learned this reality first-hand in Iraq. As leaders of SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser, their mission was one many thought impossible: help US forces secure Ramadi, a violent, insurgent-held city deemed 'all but lost'. In gripping, first-hand accounts of heroism, tragic loss and hard-won victories, they learned that leadership - at every level - is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.
Today Willink and Babin train leaders and work with hundreds of companies in virtually every industry across the US and internationally, teaching them how to develop their own high-performance teams. Detailing the resilient mindset and total focus principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult combat missions, Extreme Ownership demonstrates how to apply them to any team or organization, in any leadership environment.
A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership challenges leaders everywhere to fulfil their ultimate purpose: lead and win.
The first book in the phenomenally successful Extreme Ownership series.
A-Z of Gosport
Gosport has been associated with the Royal Navy for much of its history. Although the naval presence has been heavily reduced today, a few establishments remain but the town has many reminders of its history as a major naval base on Portsmouth Harbour. The first naval fortifications were built during the reign of King Charles II and further fortifications, training establishments, hospitals, barracks and other buildings were added in subsequent centuries. Many of the buildings have been converted to other uses and the harbour is now a marina.A-Z of Gosport reveals the history behind Gosport, its streets and buildings, businesses, and the people connected with the town. Alongside the famous historical connections, are unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. Readers will discover tales about the Explosion! Museum, the ‘Gosport Tragedy’ folk song, an enclosed Victorian garden and the scientist who identified a rare genetic disorder among many other fascinating facts in this A-Z tour of Gosport’s history. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this town on the Hampshire coast.
Symbolika hebrejských znaků
Symbolika hebrejských znaků je jeden nekonečný chasidský příběh, který prostě stojí za to poznat. Ne nadarmo se stala také pevnou součástí a zároveň kořením talmudu, midrašů i kabalistické literatury – jak středověké, tak té současné. A poznat symboly jednotlivých znaků a jejich vzájemné souvztažnosti může dnešnímu čtenáři zároveň přiblížit biblický text ve zcela nových (nebo lépe řečeno staronových) souvislostech. Navíc si ověří, že tu nejde o nějaké biblické kódy, čarování s čísly nebo znásilňování textu, ale o vypracovaný systém znaků vycházející z nejstarších tradic lidstva, přírody a vesmíru. Není vyloučeno, že některým se předkládaná kniha stane dokonce vstupenkou k hlubšímu poznání jazyka bible.
Rady svätej Rity pre teba
„Nikto nesmie ostať sám, najmä pri prežívaní ťažkostí bežného dňa.“
Svätá Rita z Cascie nie je len patrónkou neriešiteľných situácií, ale aj blízkou priateľkou, ktorá rozumie hĺbke ženského srdca. Kniha, ktorú zostavili sestry augustiniánky priamo z Kláštora v Cascii, je duchovným sprievodcom napísaným pre ženy, ktoré hľadajú útechu, silu a nové smerovanie.
Rita, ktorá sama prešla cestou manželky, matky i vdovy, sa v týchto riadkoch prihovára každej žene prechádzajúcej náročným obdobím. Texty sú rozdelené do troch kľúčových oblastí:
• materstvo – ako s trpezlivosťou a láskou zvládať výchovu a každodenné obety;
• strata a smútok – cesta premeny bolesti zo straty blízkych na nádej a odovzdanosť;
• sila modlitby – praktická škola úprimného rozhovoru s Bohom uprostred povinností.
Rady svätej Rity pre teba sú písané ako dôverný rozhovor s múdrou spoločníčkou. Je to kniha, ktorá vás podrží v momentoch neistoty, keď máte pocit, že vaše bremeno je príliš ťažké. Pozýva kráčať po „ceste ruží“, ktorá – hoci má tŕne – vedie k nádhernému cieľu.

How to Not Know
A guide to dealing with uncertainty at a time when our lives have never felt less certain
From our careers to our politics to our personal lives, the future is unknown. And yet, our capacity to tolerate this uncertainty is in decline. How to Not Know will help you prepare for-and even appreciate-the uncertainty that surrounds us.
Through gripping stories of people grappling with big problems without easy answers-from an economist trying to predict the next market crash to an island nation reckoning with the existential impact of climate change-acclaimed journalist Simone Stolzoff shows how to develop comfort with ambiguity and build tolerance for the unknown. Blending engrossing storytelling, research and practical insights, How to Not Know is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty with courage and clarity.
Tilquhillie Castle
In 1985, Tilquhillie Castle, in the picturesque Royal Deeside region in Aberdeenshire, was a ruinous Z-plan Scottish tower house. Originally built in the middle of the sixteenth century for the important local Douglas family, it had been derelict for nearly forty years, inhabited only by bats. John Coyne and his wife Kay had the vision and dedication to buy this property and restore it to its former glory, working together with talented local craftsmen over many years. The philosophy that guided the restoration was based on authenticity, informed by the building itself. During the process, a picture emerged of a building that was the product of an unknown but highly gifted master mason, probably a Frenchman. Details of his genius were evident everywhere in the building. He had designed and built a simple and elegant fortified dwelling for the Douglas laird, which stood in defiance of any potential foe and provided evidence of the social, political and historical norms of a bygone era. Although of modest proportions as castles go, Tilquhillie Castle is revealed as an architectural masterpiece of the period.
What Grows in Weary Lands
From the award-winning author and former New York Times opinion writer and columnist comes a fresh vision for navigating burnout and weariness through ancient Christian practices'Honest, wise and persistent in imagination, this is a book to refresh the seasoned spiritual traveler. A beautifully crafted weave of both resilience and wonder' Martin Shaw, author of Liturgies of the WildHow do we cultivate faith that endure? arly Christians often grappled with a reality we rarely talk about in contemporary life: that God seems to abandon the soul at times, leaving us feeling as if we are alone and left to our own resources. For centuries, times of 'aridity' were seen as necessary – prerequisites for growth and maturity. Yet in our culture fixated on speed and optimisation, we risk losing this deeper sense of the human journey and the resilience that comes with it. Drawing from her own season of exhaustion and also from the rich well of Christian tradition – particularly the earliest Christian monks – Warren explores the habits and mindsets that anchor us through doubt, difficulty and spiritual dryness. She helps us see that nothing is wasted – that, even in desert seasons, something good is growing, rooted in grace and reaching toward glory. What Grows in Weary Lands speaks to anyone longing for a life of depth in a distracted age and guides us toward lives of resilience, renewal and flourishing. Ebury Vine: The Home Of Christian Living. Drawing on the deep roots of Christianity to cultivate curious minds and inspire faith-informed growth.
Fatherhood
An ambitious history of masculinity and family, from the Bronze Age to the contemporary 'crisis of men', Fatherhood dares to offer a more caring and affirmative vision of the roles men play at home and in the world.
What is fatherhood, and where did it come from? How has the role of men in families and society changed across thousands of years? What does the history of fatherhood reveal about what it means to be a dad today?
From the anxious philosophers of ancient Athens and Henry VIII's obsessive quest for an heir, to Charles Darwin's theories of human origins, Bob Dylan's take down of 'The Man', and beyond, historian Augustine Sedgewick shows how successive generations of men have shaped our understanding of what it means to be and have a father, and in turn our ideas of who we are, where we come from and what we are capable of.
The Dichotomy of Leadership
Learning to find balance will lead you to victory.
Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that, in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy; a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin wrote in their bestselling first book Extreme Ownership, 'Simple, Not Easy'.
Now, in The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors provide the insight and awareness necessary for leaders to understand when to lead and when to follow, when to focus and when to detach, when to tighten the reins and when to let the team run, when to aggressively manoeuvre and when to be prudent. The life-changing guidance is essential reading for every leader and every team. Understanding how to maintain balance enables leaders to most effectively lead, accomplish their mission and achieve the ultimate goal of every team: Victory.
The second book in the phenomenally successful Extreme Ownership series.
The Invention of Good and Evil
For almost five million years, humans have been locked in a relationship with morality, inventing and reinventing the concepts of 'Good' and 'Evil', and weaving them into our cities, laws and customs.
Morality is a concept that can feel joyless and claustrophobic, associated with restraint and coercion, restriction and sacrifice, inquisition, confession and a guilty conscience. For many, it is a device used to shame us into compliance. This impression is not necessarily incorrect, but it is most certainly incomplete.
Hanno Sauer traces humanity's fundamental moral transformations from our earliest ancestors through to the present day, when it can often seem that we have never disagreed more over what it means to be good, and what it means to be right. But we can use our past as a basis for a new understanding of our future. Our current political disagreements may feel like the end of the world, but where will the evolution of morality take us next?
No Future Anniversary Edition
'No Feelings', 'No Fun', 'No Future'. The years 1976 to 1984 saw punk emerge and evolve as a fashion, a musical form, an attitude and an aesthetic. Against a backdrop of social fragmentation, violence, high unemployment and socio-economic change, punk rejuvenated and re-energised British youth culture, inserting marginal voices and political ideas into pop. Rejecting both tired clichés and nostalgic myths, Matthew Worley provides the definitive account of how punk was constructed and utilised from the ground up. He takes youth culture seriously as a way of understanding history, demonstrating how punk not only reflected but directly impacted social and political history through its unique ability to provoke, disrupt and subvert. This revised and updated edition marks fifty years since the birth of punk and includes a new foreword from acclaimed music journalist, Paul Morley. It remains the foremost history of British punk.

Coastline
THE STUNNING NEW BOOK FROM THE HOST OF BBC 2'S VILLAGES BY THE SEAIn Britain we are surrounded by our coast. It shapes us physically, but it's more than just a place where the land meets the sea. Far from being at the margins of national interests, the coast, and its history, has always been at the core of the British people's most important endeavours and central to era-defining national events. From artefacts lost by hunter-gatherers in a land beneath the sea to the remains of bustling medieval ports, remnants of ancient fortifications to the lingering scars of great industry, our coastline is indelibly imprinted with the traces of times gone by. Archaeologist and presenter Ben Robinson takes the reader on a journey through Britain's coastal heritage and stories of our past, rediscovering the momentous ways our coastline has impacted our history and continues to influence our nation today. At once a compelling historical exploration and charming celebration, Coastline is a story of place, people, history and identity, all forged beside the crumbling rock, windswept beaches and pounding waves of the sea.

Your future is a work of art in progress. And it starts here.
Ripening
‘Fairy tales matter because at the heart of every one of them is transformation.’In a world in which all the old certainties seem to be crumbling, it's hard not to feel we have lost our way. In Ripening, Sharon Blackie insists that fairy tales are precisely the stories we need for such times. Long before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories – passed down to us through generations by our peasant ancestors – told us everything that women need to learn about the world. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they require their heroines to face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources. They teach us to be savvy, inspire us to grow in confidence, show us how to be bold and claim the future we dream of. More than anything, fairy tales are soul-food. They show us how to take hold of our own personal narratives and transform them into stories that might begin with trauma, but end with empowerment. They offer us images of startling resonance and beauty, while showing us how to recognise and make use of the possibilities that rise to the surface when broken systems are cracked open.
Poverty Abolitionists
The United States and the world have made dramatic progress against poverty in recent decades, but the second Trump administration has thrown progress into reverse. David Beckmann calls us to push back against MAGA and restore progress against poverty. David is an economist, pastor, and activist. He was awarded the World Food Prize for leadership that led to substantial reductions in hunger. Drawing on stories from his own life and the struggles of poor communities around the world, Beckmann distills five essential insights and ten strategies to get progress against poverty going again. These include legislative advocacy, volunteering and financial contributions to election campaigns, action in defense of democracy, and needed reforms in American spirituality and religion. He invites people of faith, seekers, and skeptics alike to deepen their solidarity with those in need and with a threatened planet. He highlights data that prove poverty is solvable, confronts the problems that our country and the world now face, and calls for a new poverty abolition movement-similar in scale and determination to the movement that ended slavery. At the heart of this book is hope: hope grounded in evidence, history, and the countless efforts of communities and advocates who continue to push for justice. With a foreword by travel writer Rick Steves, Poverty Abolitionists offers both a practical roadmap and a stirring moral challenge. It is a clarion call to action for activists, policy makers, and ordinary citizens who care about the future of humanity and seek to build a fairer, freer, and more just world.
Mother of the World
Reclaiming Turkmenistan from the margins of global attention, Hein offers a lively history of the ‘Mother of the World’ and its people. These days, it’s rare for news items to come out of Turkmenistan. It can be easy for us to assume that the country was always isolated, quirky or even irrelevant. But its real history paints a wildly different picture. Turkmenistan’s desert-dominated landscape has been an unheralded flashpoint at many key moments in history, whether as an integral but misunderstood part of the Soviet Empire, or as a major strategic prize in the brutal invasions of Genghis Khan. Sat exactly where East met West, yet often aloof from both, Turkmenistan was a key crossroads on the Silk Road, and once hosted the largest city on Earth, which doubled up as one of the world’s great seats of learning. It lays claim to conjuring up the world’s first monotheistic religion, and it may well have been one of the major players in that elusive turning point of history, the birth of civilisation—up there with Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley. No other nation can claim all of this, yet Turkmenistan’s past has long remained hidden from our understanding. This is the extraordinary story of a starkly beautiful land, its unique culture, and the wonderful people who now call it home.
