Lessons from an Executive Coach


Lessons from an Executive Coach is designed to help coaches, at any stage in their careers, to understand the realities of executive coaching. That is, to gain an insight into what it is like to sit down with a range of very different clients and work with each of them as their coaching journey unfolds and evolves. Drawing on his own extensive experience, master coach Iain McCormick helps readers learn not by setting out the dry theories and processes of coaching, but by presenting a series of engaging, fictionalized case stories in a way that is designed to reveal the challenges, successes, failures and insights inherent in each. From Adam, a middle manager whose story reveals the enduring positivity at the heart of the coaching mindset, to Amanda, a young accountant whose story reveals how learning can still take place even if goals are not met, Lessons from an Executive Coach offers a colourful and accessible account of coaching in action from both the client’s and the coach’s perspective.

A Kreml mágusa


A kötet elnyerte a Francia Akadémia Regény Nagydíját és szerepelt a Goncourt-díj rövidlistáján is. A Kreml mágusa, Putyin Raszputyinja, a titokzatos Vagyim Baranov színházi rendező, televíziós valóságshow-k producere volt, majd a Cár szürke eminenciása lett. Miután politikai tanácsadói posztjáról lemondott, számos legenda keringett róla. Aztán egy éjszaka e könyv elbeszélőjének, egy képzeletbeli francia történésznek elmeséli az életét. Giuliano da Empoli az orosz hatalom központjába vezeti el az olvasót, ahol az udvaroncok és az oligarchák ádáz háborút vívnak egymással. Vagyim, a rezsim első számú kommunikációs tanácsadója az egész országot politikai színházzá változtatja, és e színpadon egyetlen valóság létezik: a Cár kívánságainak végrehajtása. A Kreml mágusa a csecsen háborútól a szocsi téli olimpián keresztül az ukrajnai válságig a mai Oroszország regénye, pontos látlelet a hatalom természetéről. "Mindig is lesznek csalódott, frusztrált, vesztes tömegek, minden korban és minden rendszerben. Sztálin rájött, hogy a düh strukturális adottság. Időszakonként csökken vagy erősödik, de soha nem tűnik el, egyike a társadalmat befolyásoló mélyáramlatoknak. Tehát nem harcolni kell ellene, hanem csak kezelni. Hogy a düh ne lépjen ki a medréből, ne pusztítson el mindent, ami az útjába kerül, folyamatosan levezető csatornákról kell gondoskodnunk. Olyan helyzeteket kell teremtenünk, amelyben a düh szabadjára engedhető a rendszer veszélyeztetése nélkül." Giuliano Da Empoli (1973) olasz-svájci esszéíró, politikai tanácsadó és egyetemi oktató. Első regénye A Kreml mágusa, amelyből Olivier Assayas rendezésében, Jude Law és Paul Dano főszereplésével filmadaptáció készült. A politikai propaganda új mestereinek szentelt A káosz mérnökei című kötetét tizenkét nyelvre fordították le franciából. Legutóbbi könyve, a Ragadozók kora - Találkozások a világot leigázó autokratákkal és techhercegekkel, 2025-ben jelent meg magyarul.

Magyar "hatvannyolc"


"Kérem a Központi Bizottságot, engedje meg, hogy nagyon röviden elmondjam, hogy itt miről volt szó, mert ennek bizonyos elvi tanulságai vannak. Mi úgy gondoltuk és ebben egyetértés van az Eötvös [Loránd Tudomány]egyetem vezetői, a minisztérium és a pártközpontban dolgozó emberek között, hogy huszonkét-huszonhárom éves gyerekek ne abba szóljanak bele, hogy mit tanulnak, mert ők ezt nem tudják megítélni. Ez a társadalom dolga. De abba, hogy hogyan tanuljanak, szerény módon beleszólhassanak. [...] Ekkor nem figyeltünk oda és ez a mi hibánk. Később a fiatalokat izgató jelenségek fokozódtak. A legkiélezettebb szakaszban pedig már bekapcsolódott az ellenség is. [...] Ott már a hatalomról, ott már a politikáról volt szó, ott nem lehetett engedni, mert nem lehetett tudni, hogy hová fejlődnek tovább a dolgok." (Aczél György a Magyar Szocialista Munkáspárt Központi Bizottsága 1970. február 19-i ülésén elmondott zárszavából) Hogyan került sor az ELTE bölcsészkarán egy váratlanul szabad választásra 1969 áprilisában? És mi is történt az 1969 októberében tartott kari gyűlésen? Mi volt ez: hatvannyolcas diákmozgalom, vagy egy "hatvannyolcas" magyar történet? Ami diákokról szól, mozgalomról, még 1968-ról is - de leginkább arról, hogyan működött a posztsztálini rendszer Magyarországon.

Treasures on Earth


From haunted barrows to ruined castles, Britain’s landscape is rich with tales of hidden treasure – stories not just of gold, but of ghosts, curses and forbidden knowledge. Treasures on Earth gathers hundreds of these traditions for the first time, showing how folklore, shaped by local memory and longing, has imagined wealth not merely as currency, but as power, danger and loss. These legends tell of dragons, demons and seekers armed with spells, but also of real hopes stirred by poverty, war and the mysteries of place. Through vivid storytelling and careful insight, this book reveals how treasure lore carries the emotional weight of history. In the end, these are stories not just about what is buried, but about why we still yearn to uncover it.

Why Religious Freedom Matters


Marshalling unprecedented global scholarship, Allen Hertzke demonstrates how religious freedom is pivotal to democratic, peaceful, and flourishing societies. The twenty-first century has witnessed a rising crisis of religious repression and persecution. In Why Religious Freedom Matters, Allen Hertzke synthesizes vast evidence from history, ethnography, and worldwide statistical analyses to make the compelling empirical case for the role of religious liberty in shaping a better global future. In rich detail, Hertzke demonstrates how religious freedom nurtures democracy, fosters prosperity, and cultivates international peace. The book also reveals the surprising ways that religious liberty and equality unleash personal agency that empowers women and uplifts the poor. Religious freedom uniquely matters, Hertzke argues, because it goes to the heart of human personhood and aspiration—the right "to be who we are," to act on ultimate commitments, and to be treated with equal worth and dignity. Based on a quarter century of immersion in global networks of scholarship and activism on religious freedom, Hertzke has produced a landmark volume showing how we can navigate the challenge of living with our differences in a shrinking world.

Vreckový Zákonník práce so súvisiacimi zákonmi


Zákonník práce bol od roku 2023, keď sme začali distribuovať posledné vydanie obľúbenej príručky pracovného práva v praktickom vreckovom formáte, novelizový 12-krát. Novelizované boli aj viaceré súvisiace zákony, resp. nariadenia, napríklad zákon o kolektívnom vyjednávaní, zákon o minimálnej mzde, antidiskriminačný zákon, zákon o nelegálnej práci a nelegálnom zamestnávaní aj zákon ozákon o cestovných náhradách. Príručku sme síce priebežne aktualizovali formou doplnkov, no vzhľadom k ich počtu a následnej neprehľadnosti právnej úpravy sme sa napokon rozhodli vydať novú publikáciu.

The Meaning of Your Life


If you struggle to discern life's meaning, you're not alone. Millions today describe a growing sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. And there's a reason: Rapid cultural, economic and technological changes have rewired our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose. In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur C. Brooks shows you how to push back against these changes and find the meaning you need to live a happy, fulfilling life. Relying on cutting-edge science, he offers practical, evidence-based strategies for breaking free of the powerful trends and personal habits that dull your focus on the why of your life. Drawing on the great philosophers and the world's faith traditions, he shows how everyone can-and must-approach life's most important and mysterious questions and provides a blueprint that will help even the most skeptical person find a life of spiritual transcendence, passionate love, and true calling. 'What is the meaning of my life?' is not an unanswerable question, but rather the start of a pilgrimage into unexplored corners of your consciousness. The Meaning of Your Life is your handbook for this journey.

A Fighter Pilot’s War


Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937. He was posted to 56 Squadron and in 1940 he served for several weeks as personal assistant to Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, before flying throughout the height of the Battle of Britain. In the spring of 1941, promoted to Acting Squadron Leader, Brooker commanded No.1 Squadron during the Blitz; for this he was awarded the D.F.C. After being posted to Singapore late in 1941, where he led Nos. 232 and 242 squadrons fighting the Japanese invasion, he was evacuated on the last flight out of Bandoeng, Java, to Australia in March 1942. For his gallantry, determination in the face of heavy odds during the fall of Singapore, Brooker was awarded a Bar to the D.F.C. In the spring of 1944, Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 123 Wing of Hawker Typhoons at RAF Thorney Island, in preparation for the liberation of Europe. Exhausted after an intensive spell of operational flying during and after D-Day, Brooker was taken off flying in July and sent to complete the Senior Staff Officers’ course at the RAF Staff College. At this time, he was awarded the DSO. In January 1945 Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 122 Wing operating Hawker Tempest Vs, initially in Holland and then in Germany. In this period he was awarded a Bar to his DSO – but it was an award that was made posthumously. It was from Rheine-Hopsten in Germany that Peter took off on the evening, of 16 April 1945, and failed to return, just twenty-two days from VE Day. His aircraft and his remains have never been accounted for. However, the answers to the mystery and controversy surrounding Brooker’s disappearance are finally revealed in this detailed biography.

The Fairy Courts


The Fairy Courts is an in-depth exploration of its subject, from the original Scottish to modern fiction, mapping out beliefs and how they have evolved. It covers the social structure of fairies, the history of the Scottish Seelie and Unseelie courts, the fairy courts outside Scotland, and it offers a look at how fairy courts are being adapted today in fiction and belief. The Seelie and Unseelie courts have become a staple in fiction and a common idea in pop culture, yet their origins and how they were and are understood in Scottish folklore have become obscure. The Fairy Courts discusses the history of belief as it is traced from the 1500s to today, concluding with a chapter about the ways that folk belief and anecdotes show us how a human might survive in a fairy court.

Insecurity Politics


The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populismIn Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments. Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today’s populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda—one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.

Rendlesham and the East Anglian Kingdom


Lost for centuries, the site of the East Anglian royal settlement at Rendlesham is now giving up its secrets. Noted by the Venerable Bede as a place of royal baptism in the seventh century CE, its location has been pin-pointed and its archaeology investigated. The settlement flourished from the early fifth century CE, but was at its peak between the late sixth and early eighth centuries – when it was larger and wealthier than any other of the time yet known in England. Rendlesham was then the centre of a major region of the East Anglian kingdom, a residence of the East Anglian ruling family – the Wuffings. Members of the royal kindred were buried at the princely burial grounds at Snape and Sutton Hoo, which were part of the same landscape of power. Rendlesham cannot be fully understood in isolation. There are other comparable sites in East Anglia that also appear to have been centres of wealth and power, set in their own discrete territories. Were these originally the residences of independent local leaders who were eventually dominated by the rulers of Rendlesham? Or were the latter dominant from the start, perhaps taking over the Roman civitas of the Iceni? Such questions go to the heart of current debates about the forces that shaped early England. This book tells the story of the initial discovery and subsequent archaeological investigations at Rendlesham, and places the site in its broader context as a focus of power in the early East Anglian kingdom. It considers the approaches in archaeology and landscape history that were used – including systematic metal detecting – and highlights the extraordinary results that off er new perspectives on early English society and the origins of the English kingdoms.

Nerovně sjednoceni


Přestože od pádu Berlínské zdi uplynulo již víc než třicet pět let, zůstává Německo zemí, kterou stále prostupují rozdíly mezi bývalým Východem a Západem. Renomovaný německý sociolog ve své oceněné knize analyzuje, proč proces znovusjednocení nepřinesl očekávané vyrovnání životních podmínek, zkušeností ani identit. Na základě dat, výzkumů i osobních svědectví ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi bývalou NDR a západní částí země nejsou jen ekonomické, ale také kulturní, sociální a mentální. Kniha je podnětná nejen pro pochopení německé reality, ale i složitého procesu společenské transformace po roce 1989 v dalších středoevropských postkomunistických zemích, tedy i v České republice. Osloví čtenáře se zájmem o sociologii, moderní dějiny i současné politické dění. „Nejpronikavější analýza toho, proč Východ funguje jinak a zůstává jiný.“ (Peter Neumann, DIE ZEIT) Steffen Mau (1968) je německý sociolog a profesor makrosociologie na Ústavu sociálních věd Humboldtovy univerzity v Berlíně. Od roku 2025 je ředitelem Institutu Maxe Plancka pro studium náboženské a etnické rozmanitosti. Je autorem řady knih a odborných studií. Jeho kniha Nerovně sjednoceni. Proč zůstává východ Německa jiný získala v roce 2024 Bavorskou knižní cenu za nejlepší titul v oblasti literatury faktu.

Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)


A handbook for how to organize to meet immediate needs in your community and work toward lasting change. Around the world, people are faced with crisis after crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to or actively engineer each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support vulnerable members of their communities. This survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid has been a part of all larger, powerful social movements, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Mutual aid isn't charity: it's a form of organizing where people get to create new systems of care and generosity so we can survive.

Abolitionist of the Most Dangerous Kind


A controversial character largely known (as depicted in the movie Glory) as a Union colonel who led Black soldiers in the Civil War, James Montgomery (1814–71) waged a far more personal and radical war against slavery than popular history suggests. It is the true story of this militant abolitionist that Todd Mildfelt and David D. Schafer tell in Abolitionist of the Most Dangerous Kind, summoning a life fiercely lived in struggle against the expansion of slavery into the West and during the Civil War. This book follows a harrowing path through the turbulent world of the 1850s and 1860s as Montgomery, with the fervor of an Old Testament prophet, inflicts destructive retribution on Southern slaveholders wherever he finds them, crossing paths with notable abolitionists John Brown and Harriet Tubman along the way. During the tumultuous years of “Bleeding Kansas,” he became a guerilla chieftain of the antislavery vigilantes known as Jayhawkers. When the war broke out in 1861, Montgomery led a regiment of white troops who helped hundreds of enslaved people in Missouri reach freedom in Kansas. Drawing on regimental records in the National Archives, the authors provide new insights into the experiences of African American men who served in Montgomery’s next regiment, the Thirty-Fourth United States Colored Troops (formerly Second South Carolina Infantry). Montgomery helped enslaved men and women escape via one of the least-explored underground railways in the nation, from Arkansas and Missouri through Kansas and Nebraska. With support of abolitionists in Massachusetts, he spearheaded resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act in Kansas. And, when war came, he led Black soldiers in striking at the very heart of the Confederacy. His full story thus illuminates the actions of both militant abolitionists and the enslaved people fighting to destroy the peculiar institution.

Mollie Brumley's Civil War


Mollie Brumley, a thirteen-year-old orphan, was living on a farm in the mountainous Ozarks of northwest Arkansas when the Civil War broke out. In a borderland region on the northern periphery of slavery and the western edge of white settlement, her corner of Arkansas saw terrible destruction—but not primarily from fighting between opposing armies. Mollie Brumley's Civil War was one of guerilla warfare and outlawry, shifting loyalties, betrayals real and imagined, and, for some, death by starvation. In telling Mollie's story, drawing largely upon her 1901 autobiography, Theodore Catton offers a rare intimate look at the heroism and desperation of war conducted on the home front—all amidst the anything-but-ordinary romantic adventures of an adolescent who lived during an extraordinary time. In the course of this riveting narrative, Mollie—while still in her teens—falls in love with one Confederate soldier who is lost in battle, marries another who joins the Rebel guerrillas, and leaves the farm to become an army laundress during escalating guerrilla depredations against her home and family. Intertwined with Mollie's tale is that of Parthenia Hensley, an enslaved young woman living in the same rural community. The story of Parthenia and her white family of enslavers broadens Catton's portrait of a war-torn community of farmers on the edge of the Slave South. An unprecedented picture of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi West, Mollie Brumley's Civil War is also a remarkable coming-of-age story shaped by the fight against slavery—a fight that Mollie didn't choose but that finally influenced the person she became and the outcome of her life.

Galahad and the Grail


For many, the tales of Arthur and his knights are the stuff of bedtime stories or children's cartoons. But the origin of these tales goes back more than a thousand years, part of a Europe-wide storytelling tradition. In the past century, much of the Christian bedrock of these stories has been stripped away, losing their foundational themes, deeper character motivations, and the potency of the tales themselves. Now, bestselling poet Malcolm Guite re-enchants the legend of King Arthur for a new generation, restoring its original power and mystery in a sweeping four-volume series that blends myth, theology, and lyric mastery. Drawing on a lifetime of poetic craft and spiritual reflection, he offers a rich, immersive journey through Britain’s mythic and moral landscape. In this first volume, Galahad and the Grail, we join the prophesied youth Sir Galahad as he sets out from Camelot to achieve the Holy Grail. This tale of adventure in ballad form plumbs the depths of the human soul, carries readers through the Wasteland, and sets us upon the numinous shores of Faerie in all its mystery and meaning. This is not an epic poem destined to be sequestered in the halls of academia, but a tale to be read by young and old alike, to be read aloud among friends, to be read and cherished for generations to come. Published in a beautiful hardback edition with woodcut illustrations by Stephen Crotts, this is a book to treasure and delight in. Take up the tale with us on March 23, 2026.
