Cleopatra
'Brilliant and discursive' Antonia Fraser, Sunday Times 'Hughes-Hallett's exemplary reappraisal … throws a searching light on two thousand years of male erotic fantasy' Joan Smith, New Statesman Winner of the FAWCETT PRIZE and EMILY TOTH AWARD In the 2,000 years since her death, Cleopatra has been recreated over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices, anxieties and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B. DeMille she was ‘the wickedest woman in history’. In this revised edition of Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s award-winning cultural history, the real Cleopatra – one of the most powerful women in the ancient world – is skilfully revealed alongside a legion of imaginary counterparts and the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.

But when a shocking discovery turns everything on its head, Maggie begins to realise that what she believed to be true is completely wrong. Danger is lurking, but is it too late for Maggie to hel? rom Britain's best-loved foster carer, a new and emotional true story of bonds, brothers and family.
A Forever War
A Forever War: Israel and Palestine achieves something quite extraordinary. At a time when passions run high and the Israel-Gaza war intensifies, so much coverage is based on prejudice, fear and ignorance. Colin Shindler, Emeritus Professor of Israel Studies at SOAS, presents a calm, scholarly and dispassionate view of the past and of what might lie ahead. Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the Middle East has been thrown into conflict. Shindler reflects on the key questions: How did this state of affairs come about? Is it even possible to write an impartial account? Could all the conflict have been avoided? How is it that Israel itself is a divided nation and even other Arab nations treat the Palestinians so badl? n both sides are the extremists - terrorists and ultra-nationalist religious Jews who are determined to seize land from Palestinians and dream of a new Jewish theocracy based on a Greater Israel - but A Forever War strives for objectivity and asks how we can best approach the truth in a time of such complex division.
Kořeny ženské spirituality, 2. vydání
Jak došlo k patriarchálnímu převzetí moci? Kam se ztratila úcta k bohyním? Co představují v ženské psyché a proč jsou důležité? Jaký byl původně kulturní vztah k ženským tématům celistvosti světlého i temného pólu, moudrosti těla a krve, spojení s přírodou? Kde a kdy se změnil a jak nás to dnes brzdí v osvobození se od vědomých i nevědomých programů, kulturních vzorců a individuálních i rodových zranění? Kniha Terezie Dubinové se vrací do minulosti, aby osvětlila přítomnost a inspirovala budoucnost.
Minority Rule
NOW WITH A BRAND NEW AFTERWORD
Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires, that minority groups are displacing majority populations.
We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But it's not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards - it's a 'blame crisis'. Whether it's infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there's always a new talking point to distract us from real, systemic change.
Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it.
In Minority Rule, political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether it's exposing the origins of the 'white working class', or examining how 'non-events' have taken over journalism, this book - now with a brand new afterword - will help you break the blame cycle for good.
There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness
One of our most beloved scientists, a fearless free spirit, Carlo Rovelli is also a masterful storyteller. In this collection of writings, the logbook of an intelligence always on the move, he follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, literature, philosophy and politics. Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces, most of which were first published in Italian newspapers, range widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism.
Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential physicists of our age.
Plastic Inc
Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. But the companies making it - oil and petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and INEOS - are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. In a shocking investigative deep dive, packed with character-driven storytelling, award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner exposes the truth of the vast, rapacious industry flooding our world with plastic - and now preparing to make more than ever.
From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the narrow streets of Antwerp and the glitz and bling of Dubai, Gardiner gives us an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution, and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Today, the industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, and eventually triple, the amount of plastic it churns out, even as so many of us -aghast at this material's out-of-control proliferation - try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline.
Plastic Inc is full of stunning revelations, including how Big Oil pushed plastic into our lives and then sold us myths about recycling to ease our worries; how companies funded litter campaigns to blame us for the waste they were creating; and how they've poured cash and political muscle into fighting bans on single-use plastics. Gardiner also uncovers the hidden health crisis caused by chemicals in the items we use every day, and scientists' growing fear that microplastics may pose even greater dangers.
Plastic Inc is an extraordinary exposé of an industry that will stop at nothing to feed its voracious hunger for profit.
Save Our Souls
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom the bestselling author of The Taking of Jemima Boone, the unbelievable true story of a real-life Swiss Family Robinson (and their dog) who faced sharks, shipwreck, and betrayal. On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea. When the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore—on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. Hans appeared to have been there for a while and could quickly educate the Walkers and their crew on the island’s resources. But Hans had a secret . . . and as the Walker family gradually came to learn more, what seemed like a stroke of luck to have the mysterious man’s assistance became something ominous, something darker. Like David Grann and Stacy Schiff, Matthew Pearl unveils one of the most incredible yet little-known historical true stories, and the only known instance in history of an actual family of castaways. Save Our Souls asks us to consider who we might become if we found ourselves trapped on a deserted island.
Fowler's Pottery: Excavation of a 19th Century Manufacturing Site in Mid Ulster
This monograph details the 2019 Centre for Community Archaeology excavation of Fowler’s Pottery, a nineteenth century pottery manufacturing site located in the townland of Derrybuoy, just outside Coalisland, Co. Tyrone. The site produced coarse earthenware pottery, a type which has received little academic attention to date, and this publication will therefore be of great use in advancing our limited knowledge of the coarse, utilitarian pottery used every day in nineteenth century households. Four distinct vessel forms were produced in four possible decorative styles, showing a specialised range of production which appears to have primarily targeted the rural market. Several key features of the pottery were also identified and are described at length, including the kiln, drying room and clay extraction pit, as well as large quantities of brick and kiln furniture. The narrative is greatly supplemented by historical records including personal letters, census returns and local testimony which offer a high-resolution view of precisely how and when the pottery operated. While other Post-Medieval pottery production sites have been excavated in Ireland previously, this is the second example of a nineteenth century kiln producing coarse earthenware pottery to be excavated, and the first to receive publication, meaning that this site is of critical importance to advancing our knowledge of local economy and manufacturing in the period.

These Isles
An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home.

Shiva
In the stillness of the cosmos exists a force both boundless and paradoxical – Shiva. More than a god, he is the formless essence that both creates and consumes the universe. His realms transcend time, his actions defy logic, yet within them lies a cosmic rhythm governing all beings.
Shiva: God of Gods is a journey into the heart of Shaivism. With poetic depth and philosophical clarity, it traverses sacred terrain, from the thunderous stillness of Mount Kailash to Rudra’s cosmic dance.
The book is both a spiritual exploration and scholarly reflection, delving into the many faces of the Divine – the cultural significance of the linga, the meaning behind Shiva’s images, his fierce yet loving relationship with Parvati, the symbolism of the third eye, and the wisdom found in texts such as the Shiva Sutras and the Puranas.
Cash Cow
A thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body.
Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all? Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos? How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it? The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.
Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts - including a surrogate of 12 children, an international embryo courier and a man who buys breastmilk for his IBS - Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?
Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.
Mushin – Sila nulového nastavenia mysle
Praktická príručka, ktorá ponúka konkrétne nástroje na to, ako sa sústrediť a dosiahnuť maximum bez toho,
aby nám myseľ zahlcovali rušivé myšlienky alebo emócie.
Samuraj pred päťsto rokmi adnešný človek majú spoločného viac, než by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Hoci stres,
ktorý zažívali títo bojovníci v boji, bol určite intenzívnejší než ten, ktorému čelíme dnes, aj v súčasnom svete
plnom neistoty a nestability potrebujeme životnú filozofiu, ktorá nám pomôže nestratiť smer a nenechať sa
pohltiť každodennými problémami.
A práve toto ponúka mushin. Mu znamená „nič“, shin znamená „myseľ“ – teda myseľ bez mysle, alebo nulová
myseľ. Ide oniekoľko storočí starý aosvedčený samurajský prístup k svetu, ktorý nám aj dnes môže veľa
ponúknuť: upokoj svoju myseľ aj svoj „meč“, pozri sa problémom priamo do očí a potom konaj.
Dnes už síce meč nepoužívame, ale život v prítomnom okamihu a schopnosť nenechať sa vtiahnuť do špirály
obáv je stále zásadná – a možno viac ako predtým. Skutočne slobodní sa totiž stávame až vtedy, keď si
v bežnom živote dokážeme zachovať stav mushin, lebo vtedy objavíme svoju vnútornú rovnováhu.
