The Sanctuary
They thought they were safe... but the danger is only just beginning.
After surviving two harrowing escapes from her captor, Amanda Jackson is done running. But one thing is certain—if she stops now, Connor Brooks, a man who will stop at nothing to claim her as his personal pet, will trap her once and for all.
Malcolm Luxx knows the stakes. With Connor closing in, Amanda’s only hope is to vanish into the shadows. But staying hidden won’t be easy. With the skills and resources to keep her off the grid, Malcolm will stop at nothing to protect her. But will Amanda agree to hide in a cage of a different kind—a cage built to keep her safe, but at a cost?
Connor Brooks let his guard down, allowing feelings to grow for a pet. Now, he’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim what’s his—even if it means sacrificing everyone who stands in his way. And with his enemies closing in, he knows one thing for sure: He must get Amanda back—and fast—to cage her for her own protection.
But when Holden and Kelli join the fight, the stakes skyrocket. They’ve stolen from Connor, and now his ruthless reach will stop at nothing to hunt them down. In a deadly game of cat and mouse, who will survive?
The Sanctuary should be their refuge. But will it be their salvation—or their final resting place?
They thought they''d find safety in The Sanctuary. But the greatest danger may lie within…
The Sanctuary is book three in The Captive series by Danielle Bannister. Please read in order. The Sanctuary is told in the POVs of the captor, the captive, and the rescuer’s perspectives. Please be sure to read with care and check for tropes on the author''s website.
The Land Where Nothing Works
Tracing the origins of Britain’s current malaise to the abandonment of social democracyWhat has happened to Britain? As drivers on its roads can attest, it is the pothole capital of Europe. Once-beautiful towns now feature peeling paint, weeds, and broken railings. Public services are no longer fit for purpose. A malaise seems to infect every aspect of British life: its economy, polity, social order, sense of well-being, domestic regional relationships, and place in the world. In The Land Where Nothing Works, the distinguished historian A. G. Hopkins offers an explanation, tracing Britain’s current problems to decisions made in the 1980s that abandoned its postwar experiment in social democracy and mimicked policies of deregulation and privatisation promoted by the United States. In 1945, the new Labour government’s development programme aimed at creating a social democracy that would benefit all members of society. The counterrevolution launched by Margaret Thatcher’s government in 1979, which remains in force today, promoted individualism and deregulation. The transition from one programme to another was a response to the growth of finance and services centred on the City of London, and to decolonisation, which redirected trade to Europe. The expansion of credit led to the financial crisis of 2008 and the years of austerity that followed, and fuelled the populist movement that culminated in Brexit. Hopkins argues that, instead of following the free-market policies of its mentor, the United States, Britain should draw on its own history of social democracy and borrow from its neighbours in Europe, where communitarian principles continue to be upheld.
Svět katolické víry
O co jde v katolické víře? Je to jen dva tisíce let stará kulturní tradice? Je to úctyhodný, ale přece jen poněkud složitý světonázor? Je to osobní přesvědčení, způsob života a zároveň vztah plný tajemství?
Kniha Roberta Barrona nás zve k objevování víry skrze konkrétní příběhy, životní osudy, klíčové texty evropské kultury, filozofické argumenty, osobní svědectví i obrazy. Nepouští se do zbytečných polemik – spíše pro nás znovu objevuje bohatství katolické tradice a tlumočí ho současným jazykem. Je pevně přesvědčen, že Kristovo vtělení pokračuje dál v tom, co je pravdivé, dobré a krásné.
Autor vychází ze skutečnosti Ježíšova vtělení, života a učení a projde s námi klíčové prvky a základní pojmy katolické víry – zjevení, modlitbu, Ježíše Krista a apoštoly, svátosti, význam Panny Marie a svatých, milost, spásu, podobenství, nebe, očistec i peklo. Píše inspirativně o tom, co se nás opravdu dotýká, a přitom ctí nadčasové pravdy víry. Jeho vyprávění ožívá díky řadě portrétů konkrétních mužů a žen, kteří žili katolickou víru naplno.

Ježíš Kristus, Syn Boží, Spasitel
„Nikajský koncil je milníkem v dějinách církve. Jeho výročí je pro křesťany výzvou, aby se spojili v chvále a díkůvzdání Nejsvětější Trojici, a zvláště Ježíši Kristu, Synu Božímu, který je ‘soupodstatný s Otcem’ a zjevil nám toto tajemství lásky“ (papež František)
V květnu 2025 si katolická církev a celý křesťanský svět připomenuly zahájení nikajského koncilu v roce 325. Koncil zůstal v křesťanském povědomí především prostřednictvím kreda, jež shrnuje, definuje a zvěstuje víru ve spásu skrze Ježíše Krista a v jednoho Boha, Otce, Syna a Ducha svatého. Je důležitý i tím, že na něj byli poprvé pozváni biskupové z celého tehdy známého světa a jeho rozhodnutí měla univerzální platnost. Nikajské kredo vyznává radostnou zvěst o spáse lidských bytostí, kterou uskutečnil Bůh v Ježíši Kristu.
Oslavme nikajský koncil chválou Boží slávy, jež se projevila v nesmírném pokladu víry, kterou kredo vyjadřuje. Nekonečná je krása Boha Otce, který nás zachraňuje. Nezměrné je milosrdenství Ježíše Krista, našeho Spasitele. A štědré je vykoupení, které je každé lidské osobě nabízeno v Duchu svatém!

The Auction
I was trained to be a pawn, but I will rise as a queen.
My life has never been my own. After the death of my parents, I was saved by my grandfather, with the promise that he would turn me over to the Brotherhood on my twenty-first birthday.
I was kept away from the outside world so I could one day be sold to the highest bidder—pure and unsullied. Penance for my parents’ alleged crimes.
That’s how I come to be sold at an auction.
And who buys me but the reclusive billionaire, Lincoln Knight?
Some say that he’s a monster, more dangerous than any of the evil men from the Brotherhood. That he wears a mask to cover his scars. But I believe he’s hiding more than just his face behind his mask.
My fate is sealed when he takes me to his crumbling mansion deep in the woods. I’m trapped. Entirely at his mercy.
I have to escape.
But something here isn’t what it seems.
Lincoln isn’t what he seems. Maybe he’s not a monster at all. I’m drawn to him in a way that I can’t explain. Until I discover that his secrets go far beyond his mask.
He’s everything I’ve been taught to fear, but what if everything I’ve ever known has been a lie?
Česká touha
Novinářka Hana Vacková pootevírá na základě devatenácti intimních zpovědí dveře do českých ložnic. Díky zasazení do širšího kontextu i komentářům odborníků pochopíte, jak lidskou sexualitu formují psychologické a společenské vlivy – od křesťanské tradice přes sociální sítě až po zpracování traumatu. A jak hluboko pronikají do našich očekávání.
Touha nezná hranice ani normy. V hlavě si jich ale stavíme spoustu.
Kniha vám mimo jiné odhalí:
* Žádná „normální sexualita neexistuje. V pořádku je vše, co probíhá dobrovolně mezi zralými lidmi, kteří nejsou blízcí příbuzní a nikomu nepůsobí újmu.
* Sexualita není neměnná vlastnost, ale dynamický systém, který se během života mění vlivem stresu, hormonů i nabytých zkušeností.
* Spokojený intimní život není otázkou talentu ani chemie, ale dovedností, které si můžeme osvojit během života.
Česká touha není sbírkou pikantních historek.
Je citlivou průvodkyní lidskou sexualitou – v celé její složitosti, křehkosti a rozmanitosti. A najdete se v ní i vy.

The Evolution of Fire
"The Evolution of Fire is stunningly written—vivid in imagery, in the braiding together of language, and in the honoring of every person it shines a light on."—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There's Always This YearFrom the celebrated author of Limber, a luminous collection of essays about crisis, hope, and the decision to resist or embrace evolution—a book about time, for our time. Crisis is an agent of evolution, and Angela Pelster knows what it means to evolve. As a child, she burned grass to keep weeds at bay and watched tadpoles transform. She basked in the warmth of her father’s love but was burned by his rage, and she witnessed a sudden, unnamable change occur in her older sister after an encounter with a stranger in a white van. In adulthood, she survived the explosion of her marriage, the destruction of her burning home, and a year spent as the single mother of a toddler without a home of their own. And like us all, she has weathered the upheaval of our current atmosphere—political instability, climate change, mass extinction. But in spite of the world’s violence, Pelster manages to remain open to its beauty, deciding not to resist change, but to give herself over to it and let evolution make her into a new animal. She plumbs the depths of ancestral knowledge to uncover the scale of our ancient capacity for adaptation, from humankind’s early harnessing of fire to the grandmothers responsible for our continued existence. Meditative and curious, pulsing with fascination, fear, and the untamable human spirit, The Evolution of Fire contemplates who we are now and what we still might become.

Dionysos
A landmark account of the Dionysos myth as an archetypal expression of indestructible lifeNo other god of the Greeks is as widely present in the monuments and ritual practices of antiquity as Dionysos. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi presents an engaging history of the religion of Dionysos from its beginnings in the Minoan culture to its transition to a cosmic and cosmopolitan religion of late antiquity under the Roman Empire. From the wealth of Greek literary, epigraphic, and monumental traditions, Kerényi constructs a vivid picture of Dionysian worship, bringing to life the secret cult scenes of the women’s mysteries both within and beyond Attica, the mystic sacrificial rite at Delphi, and the great public Dionysian festivals at Athens. He shows how tragedy and New Comedy are high spiritual forms of the Dionysian religion and how the Dionysian element itself represents an important chapter in the religious history of Europe.

How to Count Birds
A practical guide to making every bird count, for those who count birds. Counting birds may sound simple—just step outside and start tallying. But in reality, it's a complex and essential endeavor at the core of modern wildlife conservation. In How to Count Birds, conservation biologist Christopher JW McClure offers a practical guide to designing effective bird monitoring programs that inform real-world management and conservation strategies. As species vanish at unprecedented rates, having accurate population data is more urgent than ever. Yet too often, flawed study designs and outdated techniques lead to wasted time, ill-used resources, and misleading conclusions. McClure equips researchers, students, and birders with the tools to design efficient studies that avoid common pitfalls and capture what's truly happening in bird populations. This guide explains the biological, statistical, and philosophical principles behind good monitoring and explores study designs for estimating key demographic rates like survival and reproduction. McClure surveys the techniques used to estimate populations and highlights methods prone to error. Throughout, he advocates for a shift away from traditional approaches toward more precise techniques available today, such as acoustic monitoring and occupancy modeling. Effective study design requires collaboration among wildlife managers, field biologists, and statisticians from the start, as well as flexibility for field conditions and methodological adaptability. Whether you're just beginning or reevaluating a long-standing program, How to Count Birds is a timely reminder that precision and planning are just as critical as passion in the work of conservation.
