Ostrava
Fotografická kniha Ostrava je jedinečným průvodcem po zaniklých a mizejících místech Ostravy prostřednictvím převážně dosud nepublikovaných fotografií. Kniha obsahuje více než 750 fotografií – od archivních snímků zachycujících Ostravu napříč celým 20. stoletím až po autorovy fotografie pořízené během posledních patnácti let.
Publikace je rozdělena do tematických kapitol Město, Průmysl, Prodejny a podniky, Odpočinek a služby, Bydlení a Doprava. Poslední oddíl Včera a dnes přináší komparace vybraných motivů v časových proměnách. Největší pozornost je věnována industriálním stavbám, které po desetiletí utvářely charakter a identitu města. Vedle ikonických objektů zachycuje publikace také nenápadná místa každodennosti – prostory, které tvořily přirozenou součást života obyvatel a dnes již často existují pouze ve vzpomínkách.
Kniha je nejen dokumentem zanikající a zmizelé architektury a urbanismu, ale také vizuální pamětí Ostravy a svědectvím o proměnách města během 20. a na počátku 21. století.

Still in a Dream
The definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock. 'To devote a book to a set of wilfully amorphous and hazy bands, many of them long-forgotten outriders, is an act of love, commensurate with the saturated thrum of much of the music' OBSERVERTwenty years after his acclaimed postpunk best-seller, Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds tells the tale of what happened next: the underground explosion of noisepop, shoegaze, slacker rock and grunge that reverberated through the mid-Eighties into the early Nineties. Capturing the musical exhilaration of the era along with the alienation of youth during a period of ascendant conservative politics and glitzy mainstream pop, Still in a Dream celebrates a golden age of guitar reinvention, a second psychedelia of mind-blowing sounds pioneered by bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth.
In Britain, groups like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive escaped into shimmering dreamworlds while American underground rockers like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement blended apathy and urgency into thrilling noise. A propulsive and personal account from a journalist who covered this music in real time from the frontlines, Still in a Dream vividly recreates a period that was the last blast for the analogue culture of vinyl records and music papers, before the Internet changed everything.

Niamh is back from the dead … but she hasn't come back alone. Elle mourns a son she never had. Ciara languishes in a prison for witches. And Leonie reels from a very unexpected surprise.

The final confrontation between good and evil is about to commence in the spectacular conclusion to the insatiable Her Majesty's Royal Coven.
Reason, Carnival and Honour
What does free speech really mean? How does our understanding of it differ around the world? Why does it divide us – and how can we find common ground?
What free speech really means is hotly contested. Is it increasingly under attack in our democracies, or is it being weaponized by the powerful? These debates don’t just happen in the news: they divide families, strain relationships. This is because, anthropologist Matei Candea shows, arguments about free speech are not just about abstract principles: they question what it means to be a good person, to have empathy and courage. They involve fears for the future and longings for the past – and they demand that you pick a side, right now!
In order to move away from the simple binaries of polarised debate, Candea shows us that we need to start counting to three. Deploying the power of thinking anthropologically, Reason, Carnival and Honour outlines three visions of free speech – Reason, or civil rational debate; Carnival, or the right to be outrageous; and Honour, the duty to stand by one’s word. Sometimes supporting each other and sometimes at odds, they entail very different understandings of what language is and does, of what it means to be free.
Building on years of research and an exploration of anthropological literature from around the globe – from tales of French cartoonists to Egyptian Bedouin women, Finnish talk-show hosts to Tibetan Buddhist monks – Reason, Carnival and Honour reveals a richer landscape of differences, to help us find new alliances and even answers to the question of what it is we’re really arguing about.

Príbeh plný napätia je vsadený do precízne a nesmierne živo vykreslených kulís rímskeho impéria v časoch cisárov Domiciána a Trajána.

Drsná džungľa plytkých vzťahov vo vyšších vrstvách rímskej spoločnosti kontrastuje jednak so svetom podivuhodne vyspelých dáckych „barbarov“, jednak s duchovnou silou ranokresťanskej komunity...

George Whitefield
Neobyčejný životní příběh George Whitefielda a jeho blízkých přátel, mezi které patřili bratři John a Charles Weslyovi. Všichni bojovali nejprve za vlastní porozumění Božímu slovu, zvlášť evangeliu, a když byli z Boží milosti obráceni, kázali slovo všude tam, kam je Pán poslal. Jejich službu provázelo neobyčejné působení Ducha svatého projevující se až hromadným obracením hříšníků ke Kristu – Bůh konal své dílo s velikou mocí, jakou si v dnešní době ani nedovedeme představit.
Proč bychom se tedy měli začíst do životopisu George Whitefielda?
Za prvé je Whitefieldův život poutavým příběhem, který téměř nemá obdoby. Od svých 24 let, kdy vedl největší shromáždění, jaká kdy Amerika viděla, až do své smrti o 30 let později, naslouchal jeho hlasu celý anglicky mluvící svět. Vládne všeobecná shoda, že byl největším kazatelem 18. století a J. C. Ryle o jeho výjimečném kazatelském obdarování napsal: „Věřím, že žádný Angličan, ať už živý či mrtvý, se mu nikdy nevyrovná.“
Za druhé se kázání George Whitefielda stala proměňujícím vlivem historické epochy, která formovala dějiny Británie a Spojených států. Povstalo hnutí, při němž se probudilo dosud spící učení reformace. Zapomenuté pravdy kázané pod širým nebem pozvedly Anglii i jednotlivé americké kolonie, utvořily národní náboženské vědomí, prolomily náboženskou mrtvolnost Skotska a učinily z Walesu národ vychovaný na Bibli, a to vše bylo úzce spjato s působením Whitefielda. Z jeho věrné služby má dodnes užitek celý křesťanský svět.
Za třetí nám Whitefieldův život, který začal v době obrovské náboženské lhostejnosti a skepticismu, poskytuje neobyčejný studijní materiál k průběhu křesťanského probuzení, které je co do velikosti snad druhé hned po apoštolské éře. Skryté prameny velkého evangelikálního probuzení nespočívaly v lidech ani v době, kdy se odehrálo, ale z Boží milosti v novém vylití Ducha svatého do srdcí a myslí lidí. Proto i my v dnešním světě máme naději, že se zvěst evangelia o odpuštění hříchů a novém životu v Kristu Ježíši bude šířit, dokud trvá doba milosti.
Dialóg dvoch exilov
Po komunistickom prevrate v roku 1948 emigrovali na Západ tisícky demokraticky orientovaných Slovákov vytvárajúcich spolu s Čechmi v poradí už tretí – tentoraz protikomunistický – československý zahraničný odboj. Zo slovenskej strany ho v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia viedol niekdajší politik Demokratickej strany Martin Kvetko.
Po auguste 1968 utiekli z dôvodu okupácie Československa vojskami Varšavskej zmluvy ďalšie desaťtisíce Čechov a Slovákov, často už aj reformných komunistov. Na Západe vytvorili nové štruktúry odporu voči domácej konzervatívnej prosovietskej komunistickej totalite. Významné miesto v nich zastával historik Vilém Prečan, ktorý organizoval distribúciu informačných materiálov medzi domácim disentom a československým exilom, resp. demokratickými médiami na Západe. Stal sa známy najmä ako exilový „dvorný archivár“ aktivít Charty 77, resp. disidentských iniciatív z Československa.
Prečanove neutíchajúce aktivity na poli historiografie, upozorňujúce demokratický Západ na represie komunistického režimu voči kriticky uvažujúcim historikom v Československu, prirodzene upútali pozornosť Martina Kvetka. Témami korešpondencie Prečana a Kvetka boli spočiatku osud proskribovaného historika odboja Jozefa Jablonického a viaceré otázky slovenských dejín 20. storočia. Tie Kvetko vnímal ako ich priamy účastník a aktívny tvorca (odbojový činiteľ, povojnový povereník), zatiaľ čo Prečan patril medzi najvýznamnejších spracovateľov týchto tém (jeho dva zväzky dokumentov o Slovenskom národnom povstaní sú dodnes neprekonané). Listová komunikácia exulantov taktiež poodhaľuje zákulisie mnohých aspektov života protikomunistickej emigrácie i domáceho disentu. Dotýka sa nielen komplikovaných osobných vzťahov v exile či problematiky slovensko-českého súžitia, ale aj tém kontroverznej nemeckej či maďarskej otázky, o ktorých sa viedli ostré polemiky. Publikácia ponúka aj nahliadnutie do „kuchyne“ príprav exilových vydaní diel najvýznamnejších disidentov zo Slovenska – Milana Šimečku, Miroslava Kusého, Hany Ponickej a najmä Jablonického samizdatových štúdií.
Oveček vlku se zachtělo
Temná atmosféra severských thrillerů, záhadné vraždy a nečekaný motiv
Zkušený kriminalista Patrik se za celou svou kariéru nesetkal s tak hrozivou brutalitou: v budově určené k demolici je objevena mrtvá dospívající dívka navlečená do ovčí kůže a celý výjev završuje kresba vlka krví na zdi. Bizarnost celé situace podtrhuje rýmovaná říkanka o vlku a ovečce pod jazykem oběti. Když je o něco později nalezen zavražděný dospívající chlapec a posléze ještě žena středního věku – vždy v ovčí kůži, s nápisem na zdi a říkankou pod jazykem v ústech, je jasné, že vyšetřovatel má co do činění se sériovým vrahem. Podaří se mu dopadnout pachatele dřív, než zaútočí znovu?

Returns and Exchanges
Following her ‘dazzling’ (The Guardian) debut, The Animators, Kayla Rae Whitaker tells the sweeping story of one Southern family’s rise and fall throughout the 1980s, a tragicomic tour de force about love and marriage, parents and children, and the promise and limitations of the American Dream. Baker-Taylor’s is a family business. Fran (née Baker) and Fred Taylor run a successful chain of discount retail stores in Kentucky and they’re cautiously expanding: Ataris and Hot Wheels, new branches and new management. With four healthy children and financial stability their own parents could have only dreamed of, Fred and Fran are the American dream: rags to riches, a family dynasty built on years of hard work and long hours. Underneath the surface, however, the business is changing at a breakneck pace, and each family member is struggling to keep up. Money is transforming Fred, and the extremes to which he will go to fit in with the high society crowd are embarrassing, if not downright dangerous. Oldest son Josiah wants nothing to do with the family business, Sam is seeing things that might not really be there, and Benny and Birdie are growing up with a fraction of the parenting that their older brothers did. Meanwhile, Fran, her family’s stable core, is falling for Wendy, a cashier at Baker- Taylor’s, risking everything along the way. While trying to maintain the facade of a perfect success story, Fred and Fran discover that in matters of love and money, once it’s gone, it’s gone — no returns, no exchanges.
From Ritual to God in the Ancient Near East
Human belief systems and practices can be traced to ca. 10,000 BCE in the Ancient Near East, where the earliest evidence of ritual structures and objects can be found. Religious architecture, the relics of human skeletons, animal symbolism, statues, and icons all contributed to a complex network into which the spiritual essence of the divine was materially present. In this book, Nicola Laneri traces the transformation of the belief systems that shaped life in ancient Near Eastern communities, from prehistoric times until the advent of religious monotheism in the Levant during the first millennium BCE. Considering a range of evidence, from stone ceremonial enclosures, such as as Göbleki Tepe, to the construction of the first temples and icons of Mesopotamian polytheistic beliefs, to the Temple of Jerusalem, the iconic center of Israelite monotheism, Laneri offers new insights into the symbolic value embodied in the religious materiality produced in the ancient Near East.

The Social Lives of Birds
'A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds. 'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)
