I Won't Let Mistress Suck My Blood Vol. 2
Matilda thought she found the perfect job that even provided her with room and board. Sure, the mansion she works at is known as the “Haunted House,” but she’s completely smitten with her new boss, August. Unfortunately, August is a vampire and naturally thirsts for Matilda’s blood. Not ready to give up on her paramour, Matilda ventures into the town’s library in search for a cure. Will the mysterious sister the two encounter help, or will she be one more roadblock on Matilda’s quest for love?
The Fight for a Supranational World
In the 1848-1867 period, the Habsburg Adriatic was contended by incipient nationalisms, particularly the Italian, German, and South Slavic. The Fight for a Supranational World focuses on Trieste, Fiume/Rijeka, and Dalmatia, where opposing nationalisms found themselves at grips with centuries-long traditions of municipal autonomy, dynastic loyalty, regional patriotism, and ethnic hybridity—all qualities enshrined within Habsburg supranationalism. There were attempts by nationalist activists to exploit ethnic and linguistic elements to form or join national states, but these largely failed until much later in the century. Contrary to the current consensus within nationalism scholarship, which is steeped in the notion of "liberal nationalism," The Fight for a Supranational World argues that in 1848 and the following years, nationalism was illiberal due to its exclusionary or assimilatory tendencies in its quest for cultural and linguistic homogeneity. This work also shows how Habsburg supranationalism, neglected within nationalism studies and political science more broadly, needs to be the bedrock for more accurate theorizations of nationalism that would prove the relevance of Elie Kedourie's and Eugen Weber's works, among others, despite Ernest Gellner's and Benedict Anderson's enduring popularity.
Devil of the Deep
INDIE PRESS TOP 40 BESTSELLER"Swashbuckling and captivating." —bestselling author, A.K. MulfordLu watched the love of his life walk the plank and sink into the inky-black depths of the sea. Nnenna was dead . . . or so he thought. Five years later, Lieutenant “Lu” Ortega, dutiful fleet officer, embarks on a mission to hunt down a powerful talisman now in the hands of a runaway mermaid. On his quest, he discovers the impossible: Nnenna is still alive. Fierce and cunning, and as breathtaking as ever, Nnenna ’s won enough bloody sword fights as a pirate captain to earn the nickname “Devil of the Deep.” She has come to reject the system of order that Lu clings to, and worse, she’s protecting the very quarry he's tracking: Pearl Highwater, who has defied the all-powerful sea god and might hold a valuable key to finding her people’s lost island. When the tides and fates bring them together, Nnenna, Lu, and Pearl must choose their loyalties, find their courage, and race to protect the island from false gods and forces of evil—or risk unleashing an ancient curse that could destroy them all.
The Politics of Collaboration
The Politics of Collaboration explores the initial fifteen years of the French protectorate in Morocco (1912–1927) when the independent Sharifian Empire ruled by a sultan claiming descent from the Prophet Mohammed was of political and economic importance to Britain, France, Germany, and Spain. Through European agreements and a treaty with the sultan, France finally established a protectorate over Morocco, a "new regime" that lasted for more than forty years. Hubert Lyautey served as France's first commissioner resident general in Morocco for thirteen years. Despite significant and costly Moroccan resistance to the French presence, Lyautey and his team of military and civil administrators sought to create a protectorate in collaboration with the sultan and leaders of the Moroccan state. Yusef bin Hassan, the sultan of Morocco, was both reserved and outspoken, mindful of his precarious situation but proud of his importance, an advocate and an opponent of French plans and the all-over French touch. William A. Hoisington Jr. reveals details on the working collaboration between Lyautey and Yusef bin Hassan, along with a new examination of the relationships between the protectorate's administrators and Morocco's leaders, the plans and interests of both France and Morocco during the protectorate, and the politics of this collaboration. The analysis that Hoisington provides in The Politics of Collaboration uncovers not only how the establishment of a protectorate in Morocco was a significant part of the Franco-Moroccan political sphere but also the social drama of empire in North Africa and the Islamic world.

Stoic Empathy
What if you could lead with strength and compassion? Negotiate effectively and ethically? Live from rigorous principles and deep connection? Find answers in this radical new paradigm of personal power. “A radical approach to influence rooted in ethical strength. . . . A profound blend of philosophy, personal story, and actionable insights that will inspire readers to lead with both heart and mind.” — Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like an oxymoron. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. We think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. In this book, Shermin Kruse offers a radical alternative. She outlines a form of empathy that’s based in cognition instead—a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their emotive state—and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from “emotional empathy” to “cognitive empathy” in all kinds of circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to explain the mechanics of emotional regulation and control. With this radical perspective shift, Kruse builds a bridge between the rigor of Stoic philosophy and the relational impact of empathy. She gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to:· Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation· Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of others· Defuse danger and turn conflict into connection· Skillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we want Whether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.

Viditeľne pod kožou
Rozmýšľali ste niekedy nad tým, ako pokračujú ženské romány po tom, keď sa Ona a On konečne dajú dokopy?
Žijú spolu šťastne až … do chvíle, keď to aspoň jednému z nich prestane dávať zmysel.
Keby bola láska na celý život výhra, stačilo by ju rozumne využiť. Takto to bude skôr víťazstvo, v ktorom cieľová rovinka zároveň znamená koniec.
Kamila je žena v najlepšom veku. Má všetko, čo by si jeden nešťastník mohol priať, no jej túžby si nedajú pokoja. Hlásia sa o slovo, a jej pragmatického manžela tak pravidelne privádzajú do zúfalstva. Kamila však nepozná správne riešenia a, čo je horšie, nevie sa ani rozhodovať. Niečo ju neustále dráždi a núti ju hľadať odpovede tam, kde sa už nedajú prepísať.
Alebo dajú?
Príbeh príliš obyčajný na to, aby sme ho nepoznali, a pritom celkom jedinečný na to, aby sme ho mohli prežiť dvakrát.

Čas vrahů
Dvacáté století bylo epochou technického pokroku, kulturního rozkvětu a nebývalých vědeckých objevů, které posunuly lidstvo z věku páry do éry dobývání vesmíru, jaderné energie a globální konektivity. Člověk se během něj z velké části osvobodil od nemocí a hladu – a přesto to bylo i století, v němž se tím nejdestruktivnějším způsobem projevily temné stránky lidské povahy. Nikdy předtím nezískala ideologie takovou moc nad jednotlivcem, nikdy předtím nebyly miliony lidí s tak strojovou systematičností vyvražďovány v koncentračních táborech, gulazích a na bojištích po celém světě.
Tento paradox – že století osvícení a humanity přineslo zároveň genocidu a masové vyhlazování – zůstává jedním z nejbolestnějších rysů moderní historie. Ale dějiny nejsou jen souborem dat a faktů. Jsou to i příběhy lidí, kteří žili, rozhodovali se a nesli důsledky svých činů. Některé kontext doby dovedl k hrdinství, jiným umožnil naplno projevit jejich zvrácenost.
Tato kniha je pokusem o anatomii nejen zla, ale i naděje. Snaží se porozumět těm, kteří se stali nástroji totalitních zločinů, i těm, kteří se jim vzepřeli. Nejde o knihu o vůdcích, ideologiích či politických systémech, ale o obyčejných lidech – třeba o těch, kteří zavírali dveře plynových komor, podepisovali rozsudky smrti, stříleli vězně do týla – a večer se vraceli ke svým rodinám. A také o těch, kteří riskovali vše, aby zachránili druhé, o těch, kteří odmítli jen přihlížet a mlčet a dokázali neztratit svou lidskost v nelidské době.
Pochopit psychologii a motivace těchto lidí – jedněch i druhých – znamená pochopit nejen mechanismy zla, ale i prameny tiché odvahy, empatie a soucitu, které ani zlo nedokázalo uhasit. Možná právě v této tenké hranici mezi temnotou a světlem se skrývá pravé poznání o člověku – i o nás samotných.
Zajatci úzkosti
Cítíte se neustále napjatí, přetížení a nedaří se vám „vypnout“? Možná jste si – zcela nevědomky – vypěstovali návyk na úzkost. Právě tento vzorec vás může připravovat o klid, spánek i radost ze života.
Zkušený psychoterapeut v této knize ukazuje, že boj s úzkostí nemusí být nikdy nekončící. Vysvětluje, jak úzkost funguje jako návykový cyklus, a krok za krokem provází cestou, jak jej účinně přerušit. Místo rychlých slibů či složitých odborných termínů nabízí srozumitelný a lidský pohled na to, co se ve vás odehrává, a praktické postupy, díky nimž můžete znovu převzít kontrolu nad svými myšlenkami i emocemi.
Tato kniha není jen o zvládání úzkosti. Je o osvobození se z jejího sevření a o tom, jak se znovu nadechnout a začít žít naplno.

On Sports
What are sports, really? What do we love about them? And what, in our digital age, have they becom? n Sports reads like a conversation between friends at the ballpark in those golden days before the kiss cam and college co-eds with T-shirt cannons spoiled the fun; a book that feels like the sun on your forehead and the breeze in your hair, beer and laughter on your lips; a book that celebrates communion and friendship and the beauty of these games—whether it be baseball or football or soccer or tennis or cricket—that we’ve designed to distract ourselves from the end of the world. It’s about what 7Up tastes like when drunk from the Grey Cup, how much work it takes for talent to shine, and the near impossibility of language to properly capture athletic excellence. It’s about the beauty of good sports copy, the ephemerality of even the biggest sports story, and how sport remains perpetually powered by the eleven-year-old in all of us. It’s a book about rediscovering the spirit of sport, before online gambling and the manufactured spectacle of today’s professional sports suffocates the last of it; and it’s about where that spirit today is best found.
