The Immunity Plan
The immune system is our most valuable resource, our first and most important line of defence, protecting us around the clock. It also determines how quickly we age, regulates our body weight and metabolism, and impacts our brain health. Yet modern life, with toxins, allergens, poor diet and imbalanced gut bacteria, places huge strain on it leading to a rise in immune issues and autoimmune conditions. But research shows that by removing these stressors and improving immunity through nutrition and lifestyle, we can transform long-term health.
In The Immunity Plan, leading nutritionist Kate Llewellyn-Waters unpacks the most robust science behind our immune system, from the role of hormones and the microbiome to the ways immunity differs between men and women. With practical advice, lifestyle strategies, and immunity-supporting recipes, this essential guide shows you how to strengthen your immune health, reduce inflammation, and protect against autoimmune disease.
This is the essential, accessible handbook for anyone who wants to understand their immune system and harness its power for a healthier life.
The Keeper
On a cold night in a remote Irish village, a girl goes missing.
Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she's dead in the river.
In a place like this, her death isn't simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty's tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel's death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.
Favourite Daughter
THESE TWO STRANGERS HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON . . . THEIR FATHER.
'He left you some money.'
Mickey felt her mouth drop open. The first half of that sentence had rung clear and true. The second half had not. Her father was one to take, not give.
After he left them for his new family, Mickey resolved never to think of her father again. She's fine without him; yes, she drinks, but only sometimes and, really, she can't not.
But with only $181 to her name, she's not above attending some mandated therapy to access her inheritance. She'll kneel at the Kleenex alter and soon be bingeing Bridgerton with a bottle of Russian Standard, five million dollars richer.
Arlo has more issues than most of her clients. Being a therapist has not prepared her for grief. She adored her father - his laughter, his charm, the smell of his cologne. She thought he adored her, too, but now he's given his inheritance to a daughter no one knows, and Arlo is at a loss.
Two sisters are unknowingly thrown together for the first time.
It's crazy, it's unethical.
It's perfect.
Open, Heaven
James dreams of another life far away from his small village. Almost an adult, his newfound desires threaten to unravel his shy exterior.
Then he meets Luke. Unkempt and handsome, charismatic and impulsive, he has been sent to stay with his aunt and uncle on a nearby farm. With the passing seasons, a bond emerges between them that transforms their lives.
Yet James is never sure of Luke’s true feelings and as the end of summer nears, he has a choice to make: will he risk everything for the possibility of love?
City of Rats
Welcome to the gutters of 1970s Paris – and the anarchic, darkly comic world of City of Rats. When pet rat Gouri finds himself locked out of his owner’s apartment, he has no choice but to strike out alone onto the pavements of Paris. But what begins as a strange and marvellous bedtime story - Gouri and his new friend Raka selling flour-coated worms to pigeons for spare change - soon spirals into an exhilarating whirlwind of murder, sex, unionised hamsters, courtroom drama, and, finally, Armageddon.
Told through a series of letters from Gouri to Argentinian playwright Copi, City of Rats channels Copi’s lifelong fascination with society’s outcasts - queer people, immigrants, the homeless, and criminals - into a fiercely imaginative, unflinchingly provocative tale of a world hurtling into madness.

Když je spolkly vlny
První pravidlo záchrany zní: Nezvyšuj počet obětí. Grace právě potkala nejhorší noční můra každého učitele. Po náročném dni v australské divočině stojí na břehu rozbouřeného oceánu a pozoruje, jak tři studenty unáší silné proudy na otevřené moře.
Během několikadenní exkurze do australské divočiny, kde se středoškoláci seznamují s přežitím daleko od civilizace, dostane skupina náctiletých chlapců nápad: rozhodnou se nenápadně uniknout pozornosti pedagogů a zaplavat si v oceánu. Ve chvíli, kdy je učitelka Grace spatří, jsou již daleko od břehu a Grace jako záchranářka ví, že pomoci jim by znamenalo riskovat vlastní život. Má zůstat na břehu, nebo se pokusit o nemožné a téměř jistě zahynout v předem prohraném boji?
V chaosu následujících dnů se Grace musí postavit truchlícím rodičům a na povrch začnou vyplouvat nové skutečnosti. Kdo chlapcům našeptal smrtící dobrodružství? Kdo může za jejich smrt? Komu může Grace ještě věřit?
Strhující psychologický thriller z australského pobřeží vznikl na základě osobní zkušenosti autora, středoškolského lektora pobytů ve volné přírodě a dobrovolného záchranáře.
Vychází v překladu Jakuba Laxara.

Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection at the International Criminal Court
Conversations about the involvement of States in the workings of the International Criminal Court often focus on the role of State cooperation in enabling the ICC to carry out criminal trials. However, there is a dimension to this cooperation that is underexplored. Whenever the ICC relies on the assistance of States, or States otherwise become involved in its functioning, the human rights of accused and witnesses involved in proceedings may be adversely affected. The simultaneous involvement of the ICC, ICC States Parties, and the ICC host State - whilst essential and unavoidable - can insert ambiguity and uncertainty into the protection of individuals, leaving the door open for human rights violations. This book explores this phenomenon of multi-actor human rights protection at the ICC. By setting out the relevant obligations of the different actors, the book highlights potential problems in human rights protection and proposes ways to mitigate them.
