Urban Infrastructure in Medieval England
How medieval English towns built, sustained, and reimagined the lifelines of urban life.In the bustling market towns and growing cities of medieval England between 1200 and 1600, public works were the lifelines of urban society. In Urban Infrastructure in Medieval England, Roberta J. Magnusson offers the first comprehensive study of how medieval towns built, financed, and sustained their defenses, bridges, streets, water systems, and harbors.Magnusson reveals how even modest communities, like the Warwickshire town of Atherstone, boldly pursued projects that reshaped their futures. Grants of tolls and taxes funded paving initiatives, bridge repairs, and fortified walls, while enterprising lords and abbots sponsored sluices, conduits, and quays. These efforts were not confined to England''s great cities; small towns with limited means also sought to enhance their competitive edge, even when such investments strained their resources. Drawing on royal records, municipal archives, and archaeological evidence, Magnusson situates these civic undertakings in their broader social and environmental contexts. She shows how townsmen adapted traditional obligations of labor and charity alongside innovative fiscal tools to sustain projects that could span generations. Yet the balance was fragile. The crises of the fourteenth century—famine, plague, and the harsher climate of the Little Ice Age—undermined local resources, leaving many communities to struggle with maintenance or watch their infrastructures decline.At once a history of engineering, economy, and community, this study illuminates how medieval people conceived of security, health, and prosperity through the material fabric of their towns. By tracing the rise, transformation, and survival of these infrastructures, Magnusson demonstrates how urban communities navigated centuries of change while shaping the very landscapes in which they lived.
The Beginnings
The first book in Antonio Moresco''s colossally disruptive Games of Eternity (Giochi del? ternita)trilogy, translated into English for the first time.Upon its publication in Italy, The Beginnings was exactly that: the dawning of a new era. Like a photo-negative of Franz Kafka, or Virginia Woolf, Moresc? sweeping novel turns the stream-of-consciousness inside out, and offers nothing interior. Here, much like in real life, you will not be privy to the thoughts and feelings of others. Everything must be experienced as it happens.From our narrato? undergraduate years in seminary school, to his activities as a member of various Italian political factions, to his attempts to become a writer, The Beginnings is a shapeshifting journey across the 20th century, and across all of literature itself.
Foundling Fathers
When a radical think tank clones America''s founding fathers, The Boys from Brazil meets the bicentennial in this ingeniously satirical mashup of U.S.history, cloning, and technocracy gone terribly wrong. The trouble starts when a curious teenager, Benjamin, finds an iPhone in his privy. The problem is, it''s supposed to be 1750. Ben takes his discovery to his brothers - Thomas, John, and George. The boys have been raised in isolation on an island plantation by a firm but kind woman, Mary Libertas. All four of them chafe at Mary''s restrictions upon them - especially Thomas, who has impregnated yet another servant. Meanwhile, their de facto father figure, Jeff Hancock, complains to the shadowy Antediluvian Society that it is past the time to explain to the boys where they come from and what they must do: Run America the way it used to be run. In this more-than-slightly-absurdist novella, Philip K. Dick Award winning author Meg Elison (Find Layla) skewers those looking to an idyllic past to solve the problems they continue to create.

Landscape In Lavender
When society is primed to regard you as an outcast even before a sexually transmitted disease starts killing your gay brothers, coming out of the closet is hard enough - but even that is only the first step. Afterward, it can be challenging to cultivate self-respect, let alone find the lasting love you deserve and the home you crave. In this earnest, hopeful memoir, Brooks Kolb explores the conflict between his personal and professional identities as he traces his round trip journey from Seattle to Paris, Philadelphia, London, and San Francisco against the backdrop of the 1970s sexual revolution and the devastating AIDS pandemic that followed. During his travels, Brooks becomes a landscape architect, comes out of the closet, crosses racial barriers to win lasting love, loses that love, and finds belonging. Along the way he learns that freedom demands that one construct their own morality in the face of social ostracism, that loss is an inherent attribute of love, and that the need to belong can be just as urgent as the need for love. Heartbreaking but ultimately inspiring, Landscape in Lavender will charm readers across generations - LGBTQ+, cisgender, and straight alike - who struggle, or have struggled, to live a truly authentic life.

When she finally uncovers the box, what she finds will change her life—and the fate of gods and mortals—forever. Unless Isis can right the wrongs of a betrayal she didn’t commit and deliver Egypt into the hands of a worthy leader, Egypt will fall into chaos.

Bella
Bella, a fiatal színésznő Londonban épít új életet magának, de vőlegénye, a brit felső osztály ifjú örököse a csillogással, a virágcsokrokkal és az ígéretekkel együtt sem tudja megadni a lánynak azt a szenvedélyt és azokat az érzelmeket, amikre vágyik.
Bella mégis úgy érzi, a gazdag arisztokrata család védelmet fog tudni neki nyújtani múltja sötét emlékei és felbukkanó árnyai ellen. Az érzelmi függés azonban nem vetkőzhető le pusztán azzal, hogy elmenekülünk előle... Ráadásul nem is mindenki akarja, hogy bekerüljön a családba: a cinikus, manipulatív, mégis végtelenül vonzó unokatestvér, akinek a tekintetében veszély és vágy keveredik, mindent megtesz, hogy holmi kis színésznőcske ne férkőzhessen be a köreikbe. A férfit dél-amerikai, vérrel és bűnnel átszőtt múltja sem arra predesztinálja, hogy igazi érzelmeket ébresszen, Bellával való összecsapásai mégis izzanak a szenvedélytől – és nem is múlnak el nyomtalanul.
A nemrég elhunyt Jilly Cooper, a műfaj egyik nagyasszonya a rá jellemző intenzitással mesél nemcsak a színházi öltözőkben és brit kastélyokban előforduló intrikákról és tiltott érzelmekről, de a szenvedélyeket egy váratlan fordulattal színezi és teszi még izgalmasabbá. A luxus világa után a túlélés lesz a cél, ami megmutatja azt is, hogyan születhet szerelem az ellenségek között, és hogyan válik a fenyegető vágy megváltássá.

Děti Václava Havla
Daniel, lékař ve středním věku, se vrací do rodného Trutnova a zjišťuje, že minulost nelze obejít ani neutralizovat; lze ji pouze znovu otevřít. Město, kde kdysi stálo kino Stalino a kde dnes jeho fasáda nese sochu Václava Havla, se stává prostorem střetu ideologií, paměti a zapomínání.
Příběh sahá od nacistických zločinů v pobočkách koncentračního tábora Gross-Rosen na Trutnovsku a holocaustu na území dnešní Ukrajiny přes komunistickou normalizaci až po dnešní vyprázdněnou svobodu. Před Danielem se rozplétá jako soustava rozhodnutí, která nikdy nebyla skutečně uzavřena.
Pátý román Marka Přibila propojuje osobní osudy s evropskými dějinami, veřejným prostorem a politickými mýty. Vedle výrazné zápletky spojené s osudem Danielových prarodičů vstupuje do příběhu také postava Václava Havla, zbavená nánosu veřejných klišé i pietních gest. Děti Václava Havla je existenciální a společenskokritický román o Evropě, která žije z nepřiznaných kompromisů, o paměti, jež se tváří jako vyřešená, a o jazyku, který dokáže přesně pojmenovat to, co se obvykle zamlčuje.

Regime Change
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER‘A flabbergasting feat of political reporting . . .A news bomb on every page’ Tina Brown, Observer‘A blockbuster’ Guardian ‘Gobsmacking’ Daily Mail ‘Eye-popping’ Economist ‘Deeply reported and gripping' Financial Times‘Riveting’ Fintan O'Toole, New York Times‘Exceptional . . .packed with news that will stay news’ David Remnick, New Yorker‘It’s sparked fear – and leak inquiries – in the White House’ Sunday Times*Few expected Donald Trump to return to the White House stronger than before. The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him. Regime Change is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump’s second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first.The generals who once told him ‘no’ are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President’s enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.Regime Change shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.
