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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Trénink paměti pro seniory: Vzpomínková cvičení
Procvičování mozku rozmanitými způsoby je velmi důležitý faktor v prevenci poruch paměti a je přínosné v každém věku. Kniha obsahuje úkoly nižší až střední úrovně obtížnosti, které jsou založené na předmětech, událostech i místech, které znají senioři možná i ze svých vzpomínek,
z mládí či z vyprávění. Na konci knihy nechybí řešení vybraných úloh.
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.
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?
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.
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.
