Tree of Knowledge
A poet watches the limbs of a eucalyptus tree get sawed off: the image persists, recurring across poems of art, language, selfhood, memory, and lossJoan Mitchell said, When I talk about love, I mean loving a tree. When I talk about love, I mean loving where a tree used to be.Men assess the eucalyptus tree growing on the poet''s street; a crane arrives. The sound of a chainsaw rings in the air and branches begin to fall. This tree-cutting haunts the poet, and refracts across the remarkable work collected in Tree of Knowledge as Chang turns her thoughts to artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell and Hilma af Klint.Roving, evocative, and intricate, Tree of Knowledge is rooted in Victoria Chang''s crystalline voice and generous, probing gaze, and by certain images ? trees, a hanging figure, a branch, fingertips, a briefcase ? that resurface like apparitions.
Ten Steps to Prevent World War Three
<p><b>An urgent call-to-action outlining how we can prevent a global conflict in the near-future from Tobias Ellwood, former Defence Minister and Chair of the House of Commons Defence Committee.</b><br><br>We are in a cold war, but one unlike anything we've seen before. Influence, ignorance and ideology have been weaponised, with USA and China fighting on the global battleground to push their rival visions of the future.<br><br>The world is splintering into two competing spheres of influence and it's no exaggeration to say that we are potentially looking down the barrel of a gun towards global armageddon. Western leaders can no longer be complacent or passive, allowing foreign actors chip away at our political infrastructure and national security.<br><br>The stakes could not be higher, but there is a path towards a brighter future. <i>Ten Steps to Prevent World War Three </i>draws on a blend of big ideas, personal narrative, lessons from history and geopolitical insights to uncover the mindset and strategies that can build a peaceful global future.</p>

Babylon, Albion
Whoever said nature is still has not borne witness to the migration of the seasons.In this lyrical enquiry, Dalia Al-Dujaili considers what it means to belong in your land. She traces the rich heritage of the earth beneath our feet and the wildlife that call it home – from the oak tree and date palm to fairytale creatures, such as dragons, unicorns and the ancient Lamassu. Weaving together Arab and Islamic mythology with the English and Christian pastoral, Al-Dujaili unmasks the communal lush, familiar and, at times, dark places we share.A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, Babylon, Albion is a compelling re-imagining of what it means to be native.
Song of the Saltings
On the isolated island of Brack, the people live by an ancient bargain: every year, a sacrifice must be made to the Glimm, the creature that haunts the salt marshes. Once, it demanded children. Eight years ago, it should have taken Lotta. Instead, the monster spared her and claimed her pony, shattering tradition and anointing her both folk hero and object of suspicion. Now sixteen, Lotta tends the Council’s sacrificial horses, keeping her distance from the islanders who whisper about her fate. But something is stirring. The island hums beneath her feet, and a song threads through her dreams. Is the Glimm calling Lotta bac? hen she crosses paths with Moss—a boy once hidden from sacrifice—a daring bog rescue sparks a chain of events that forces them both to question the Council’s rule and the lore that binds their people. As crops and animals are blighted and uncanny weather plagues the community, Lotta and Moss must decide whether to obey the Council or risk everything to uncover the island’s deepest secrets. Because on Brack, monsters come in many forms.
Hope and Despair
A frank assessment of Israel’s uncertain place in a region scarred by conflict and insecurity. Where can the country and its people go from here? Days before his country signed a deal to normalise ties with Israel, the Emirati Ambassador to the US penned an article in Hebrew, directly addressing Israelis. Israel, he argued, faced a choice between engagement with the rest of the region, or isolation. His words struck a chord then, and will continue to ring true in the decades to come. Michael A. Horowitz tells the unfolding story of this decision: of tension between the hope ushered in by the normalisation agreements, and the enduring despair both Israelis and Palestinians feel about the waning prospects of peace. Rather than examining the past, Horowitz looks to Israel’s future—one marked by new opportunities, but also tremendous challenges, as the country tries to find its place in a region trying to find itself. Israel is a ship in a storm, navigating a ‘new’ Middle East where unfinished revolutions, regional competition, perceived US disengagement and an unstable but menacing Iran all warrant caution. In the ‘promised land’ itself, existing gaps are widening, and the space for optimism is shrinking. Hope and Despair is a brutally honest exploration of what lies ahead for Israel: the waves, the winds, and the ray of light above the clouds.

“V zásuvke medzi ceruzkami, fixkami, plastelínou a pastel kami bol neobvyklý ruch. Šramot, či dokonca až rámus. Znelo to podobne, ako keď sa v nich niekto premŕva rukou a nevie, ktorú farbu vybrať. Šuplík sa triasol. Celá skrinka nadskakovala. Dvierka na nej sa otvárali a zatvárali. Niekto by sa domnieval, že tam straší. Zvnútra bolo počuť šušťanie, lomoz a buchot. Nahliadnuť dovnútra zásuvky a tiež do tejto knihy vyžaduje poriadnu dávku odvahy. Ak sa nebojíte, tak ju spoločne otvoríme a zistíme, kto to tam vystrája.”
A Year with the Seals
With their large, strangely human eyes or their dog-like playfulness, but seals have long captured people's interest and affection. Alix Morris spends a year with these magnetic creatures and brings them to life, season by season, as she learns about their intelligence, their relationships with each other, their ecosystems, and the changing climate.
Along with the seals themselves, Morris explores the competing interests in the debate about newly recovered seal populations in our coastal waters: from local fisherman whose catch is often diminished by savvy seals, to tribes who once relied on seal-hunting for food, clothing, and medicine, this is a rare look at what happens when conservation efforts actually work, and how human tampering with ecosystems continues to have unexpected consequences.

Bůh koná
Jádro křesťanské víry spočívá v tom, že Ježíš byl vzkříšen, je živý a mocí Ducha svatého působí ve světě i dnes. Tato kniha je sbírkou pětatřiceti skutečných příběhů, které dosvědčují znamení živé Boží přítomnosti uprostřed tohoto světa. Náš nebeský Otec si ze všeho nejvíc přeje, abychom uvěřili v jeho Lásku k nám. Cílem křesťanské víry není vidět znamení všude a ve všem, rozhodně nejde o jediný projev Božího působení. Jsou však „záchytnými body“, které nás mohou otevřít a vést k tomu, abychom vírou objevili živého Boha tam, kde ho zatím nevnímáme. Chci vám nyní vyprávět o událostech, které před několika lety změnily můj život. Díky nim jsem začal úplně jinak vnímat Boží přítomnost ve svém životě i všude kolem. (z úvodu autora, kněze a misionáře pařížské diecéze

Moje Antonie
Moje Antonie patří k nejvýznamnějším dílům americké literatury a představuje vrchol autorčiny tvorby. Vypráví hluboký příběh o dětství, kořenech a hledání vlastního místa ve světě.
Příběh je zasazen do období osidlování amerického středozápadu na sklonku 19. století, kdy za lepší budoucností mířily na americké prérie tisíce přistěhovalců z Evropy. Na pozadí tohoto velkého stěhování sledujeme osud české dívky Antonie Šimerdové, od chvíle, kdy s celou rodinou přichází do Ameriky. Přijíždějí plni naděje, na drsný život na prérii však nejsou připraveni a tvrdá realita jim brzy přinese tragédii. Antonie musí pracovat na farmě i ve městě, naráží na nevyzpytatelnost přírody i lidí, na chudobu i nenaplněnou lásku. Přesto si uchovává vášeň pro život, houževnatost i citlivé srdce. Její příběh vidíme obdivnýma očima oddaného přítele, Američana Jima.
Moje Antonie je významná nejen svou literární kvalitou, ale i českým rozměrem příběhu. Willa Cather s nezaměnitelným rukopisem a hlubokým porozuměním pro lidskou povahu vykresluje krajinu, postavy i pozoruhodné osudy a román tak právem patří mezi literární klasiku 20. století.
„Cather líčí české vystěhovalce při vší lásce realisticky správně.”
T. G. Masaryk
