Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny
Adolf Hitler may be history’s most notorious tyrant. Surely no one’s name is more often evoked to epitomize evil and the deliberate infliction of suffering on vulnerable individuals and group? hrough exceptional will and luck Hitler struggled up through the ranks of political power until he became Germany’s master. He then sought to dominate Europe. Determined to unite all German-speaking peoples in one nation, he embarked on a series of aggressions that culminated in a war that engulfed and devastated most of Europe and North Africa, and left tens of millions of people dead, maimed, or homeless. Along with his political opponents, he condemned Jews and other ‘inferior peoples’ as Germany’s enemies, and eventually had around six million of them arrested and systematically slaughtered. Adolf Hitler and the Art of Tyranny answers with depth and clarity three core questions. What made Hitler who he was; why did he do what he did; and what were the results? Many other questions radiate from these. For instance, how did Hitler get tyrannical power? Or why was the Third Reich destroyed after just a dozen years? Many more crucial questions and arrays of answers follow. Hitler, of course, did not act alone. He enthroned himself atop power pyramids that included the Nazi Party, government, military, secret police, industrial associations, religious institutions, and other social organizations. He commanded countless ‘willing executioners’ of his plans and orders. To a rational, knowledgeable person, Hitler’s mass appeal is puzzling. How could someone as histrionic, vulgar, shallow, bullying, and extreme as Hitler inspire such adoration and fanatical acts by millions of people?
Emperor Maxentius
This is a biography of the last man who can truly be considered a ‘Roman’ emperor. Maxentius was the last pagan emperor to rule in Rome itself, the last emperor to reside on the Palatine, the last emperor with a Praetorian Guard. He was a prolific builder, popular with the people and armies of Rome, and surprisingly successful against impressive odds, fighting off two opposing emperors, until felled by disaster at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Simon Turney examines his background (he was the son of Emperor Maximian) and describes the context of the imperial situation of the Tetrarchy leading to his rise. He sifts all the evidence, architectural, numismatic and inscriptive, attempting to identify where Christian (and Constantinian) bias has warped the truth. He narrates Maxentius’ six year reign during a tumultuous time of civil wars, culminating in the dramatic battle of the Milvian Bridge, where he fell. He peels back the later vilification by Christian sources and reveals a capable emperor, a great builder (with a legacy of monuments still visible) and, ironically, a tolerant ruler who ended the Great Persecution of Christians in his territories years before Constantine followed suit.
Collected Poems
For the first time, this volume gathers together all Tobias Hill’s poems from his four full-length collections in one beautiful and collectable paperback edition, introduced by Maura Dooley. The Collected Poems marks an important moment in British poetry, drawing together Hill’s work from his Eric Gregory Award-winning debut, Year of the Dog (1995), to the bestselling Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow (2006). Hill’s celebrated ‘urban pastoral’ was decadent yet austere, driven through radical visual desire. Here in one volume we can see the extent of his imaginative journey, travelling through towns and cityscapes, presenting a simmering world of captured lives, haunting, but filled with charm and wit. The early work is dominated by Japan, where Hill lived for two years, yet it is his beloved London that becomes the imaginative centre of his work, filled with the sensuous intensity of that great city. Tobias Hill was selected as one of the country’s Next Generation poets in 2004, shortlisted for the 2004 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and named by the TLS as one of the best young writers in the country.
Poradca 11-12/2026 - Zákon o sociálnom poistení – zákon s komentárom
Zákon o sociálnom poistení prechádza pravidelnými úpravami, ktoré reagujú na ekonomický vývoj, infláciu a potreby trhu práce. Najvýznamnejšie zmeny účinné od roku 2026 sa dotýkajú najmä výšky odvodov, postavenia SZČO a vyplácania dávok. Jednou z hlavných zmien je zvýšenie maximálneho vymeriavacieho základu, z ktorého sa platia odvody.
Titul obsahuje úplné znenie zákona po novelách s komentárom:
Zákon o sociálnom poistení – zákon s komentárom
V roku 2026 sa táto hranica maximálneho vymeriavacieho základu zvýšila, čo znamená vyššie maximálne odvody pre zamestnancov, zamestnávateľov aj SZČO. Novinkou je zavedenie novej oznamovacej povinnosti pre niektoré SZČO, ktoré musia oznámiť začatie alebo ukončenie činnosti Sociálnej poisťovni v stanovenej lehote. V oblasti zamestnancov došlo k zrušeniu výnimiek z platenia poistného v určitých situáciách. Po novom sa poistné platí aj v prípadoch, keď zamestnanec dosahuje príjem počas niektorých sociálnych udalostí. Dôležitou zmenou je aj valorizácia dôchodkov, ktoré sa v roku 2026 zvýšili o 3,7 % v závislosti od inflácie. Okrem toho sa modernizuje systém dávok, napríklad digitalizáciou žiadostí o ošetrovné (OČR), čo zjednodušuje komunikáciu medzi lekárom, zamestnávateľom a poisťovňou. Celkovo tieto zmeny smerujú k zvýšeniu príjmov systému sociálneho poistenia, zjednodušeniu administratívy a prispôsobeniu systému aktuálnym ekonomickým podmienkam. Na druhej strane však znamenajú aj vyššie finančné zaťaženie najmä pre živnostníkov a osoby s vyššími príjmami.

Az utolsó napfelkelte
A New York Times bestsellerszerzője –, a Cosmopolitanben „generációja legnagyobb hatású írójaként” emlegetett – Anna Todd egy érzelmes és inspiráló romantikus regénnyel tér vissza.
A főhős ezúttal egy buborékban élő fiatal lány, akinek az élete gyökeresen megváltozik egy mallorcai nyár során, amikor megismerkedik egy titokzatos helyi sráccal. A huszonkét éves Oriah Pera egészségügyi gondjai és túlféltő édesanyja mellett úgy érzi, az élete még nem kezdődött el. Ám amikor munkaügyben Mallorcára utaznak, Ry tudja, hogy ez a nyár mindent megváltoztat majd. Első lázadó tette, hogy egyedül indul el felfedezni a várost, és a tengerparton megismerkedik a bosszantóan vonzó spanyollal, Juliánnal, akinek valamilyen különös oknál fogva képtelen ellenállni. Ahogy telnek a napok Julián lehántja róla a kagylópáncélt, hogy olyan kalandokat és szenvedélyt élhessen át, amelyre mindig is vágyott. Ám közeledik a hazatérés napja, és Ry-nak döntenie kell: elég bátor-e ahhoz, hogy végre a szívét kövesse és saját magát válassza.
Tanks and Armour at Kursk 1943
In the summer of 1943, Hitler set his sights on a decisive blow that he believed would turn the tide of war on the Eastern Front. That blow would be dealt at Kursk – site of a huge Soviet salient measuring some 120 miles wide and 75 miles deep, and the stage for what would become the largest tank battle in history. Fuelled by confidence in his elite Panzerwaffe and Waffen-SS divisions, Hitler launched Operation Citadel, unaware that the Red Army was not only prepared, but vastly superior in numbers, firepower, and defensive depth – they outnumbered their opponents by approximately 2.5 to 1. What followed was a brutal clash of steel and strategy, where German ambition collided with Soviet resilience. Tanks and Armour at Kursk 1943 presents a vivid and richly illustrated account of the German armoured forces that spearheaded this historic assault. With in-depth analysis, detailed captions and a wealth of rare and unpublished photographs, this book brings to life the machines, units, and men behind the last great German offensive on the Eastern Front.
Richard III in the North
Richard III is England’s most controversial king. Forever associated with the murder of his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, he divides the nation. As spectacular as his death at Bosworth in August 1485 – the last king of England to die in battle – the astonishing discovery of his bones under a Leicester car park five centuries later renewed interest in him and re-opened old debates. Is he the world’s most wicked uncle; or is he (in the words of the man who most smeared him) ‘a prince more sinned against than sinning’?Richard was not born in the North; neither did he die there, but this detailed look at his life, tracing his steps over the thirty-three years that he lived, focuses on the area that he loved and made his own. As Lord of the North, he had castles at Middleham and Sheriff Hutton, Penrith and Sandal. He fought the Scots along the northern border and on their own territory. His son was born at Middleham and was invested as Prince of Wales at York Minster, where Richard planned to set up a college of 100 priests.His white boar device can be found in obscure corners of churches and castles; his laws, framed in the single parliament of his short reign, gave rights to the people who served him and loved him north of the Trent. And when he felt threatened or outnumbered by his enemies during the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses, it was to the men of the North that he turned for support and advice. They became his knights of the body; members of the Council of the North which outlived Richard by a 150 years. They died with him at Bosworth.Although we cannot divorce Richard from the violent politics of the day or from events that happened far to the South, it was in the North that Richard’s heart lay.The North was his home. It was the place he loved.

Sir Walter Raleigh
Dispersed throughout the centuries and across the globe – a sleepy Devonshire village, a 1950s Hollywood film set, a horse hurtling on a Victorian racecourse, the Beatles meditating in India, a border dispute in South America, and a storm raging in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1993… they all lead back to Sir Walter Raleigh. He is the man of paradoxes: the outsider who wanted access to the royal court, a monarchist who later became a republican hero, a lover and a fighter, a pirate and a poet, the last great Elizabethan superstar and the first victim of the Stuart dynasty. Let’s chart his rise, his fall, and his legacy.
Like Never Before
Comic, poignant, and observational, these poems embrace the theme of a changing world – linguistically, politically, and environmentally – and the changes we all experience as we age. This is Alistair – like never before – commenting on a world that is accelerating like never before.
The Karamazov Brothers
Dostoevsky''s last and greatest novel, The Karamazov Brothers (1880) is both a brilliantly told crime story and a passionate philosophical debate. The dissolute landowner Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov is murdered; his sons - the atheist intellectual Ivan, the hot-blooded Dmitry, and the saintly novice Alyosha - are all at some level involved.Bound up with this intense family drama is Dostoevsky''s exploration of many deeply felt ideas about the existence of God, the question of human freedom, the collective nature of guilt, the disatrous consequences of rationalism. The novel is also richly comic: the Russian Orthodox Church, the legal system, and even the authors most cherished causes and beliefs are presented with a note of irreverence, so that orthodoxy, and radicalism, sanity and madness, love and hatred, right and wrong are no longer mutually exclusive. Rebecca West considered it "the allegory for the world''s maturity", but with children to the fore. This new translation does full justice to Doestoevsky''s genius, particularly in the use of the spoken word, which ranges over every mode of human expression. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Large Tank Locomotive Classes of the Southern Railway
The three main constituent companies of the Southern Railway had different policies for tank engine design. The London & South Western built tank engines for suburban, branch and heavy goods work, the London, Brighton and South Coast had many designs for express passenger, mixed traffic and goods work as their main routes were short enough to be resourced by tank engines with limited water capacity and the South Eastern and Chatham ventured into a similar policy in its last days with the ‘River’ class only for the Southern Railway to be dissuaded from further development following the disastrous Sevenoaks accident in 1927. Unlike the other three post-Grouping railways, the Southern made no further effort to adopt the tank engine design for passenger or mixed traffic purposes apart from Maunsells ‘W’ and ‘Z’ for freight and shunting until Bulleid’s revolutionary (and unsuccessful) ‘Leader’ class. This book describes the design, construction, operation and performance of all these pre- and post-Grouping classes and the final adoption of the LMS and BR Standard 2-6-4 and 2-6-2 tank engines to fill the void in the Southern Region’s locomotive fleet.
The Edwardians
In January 1901, Edward VII, then the longest-waiting monarch to ascend to the British throne, succeeded his mother, Queen Victoria, who had reigned over a growing empire for 63 years.Edward’s reign would be much shorter – only nine years – but it was a period of British history that saw life change rapidly for those who now lived in the Edwardian Era.It began when Britain was at war in South Africa, and it lasted longer than the monarch whose name it took. It would be brought to its end by the advent of a much greater and more terrible conflictThe Edwardians: Life and Times of the Golden Age takes us on a journey through those first few years of the 20th century, when it can be said that modern Britain began to take shape.New technology – new modes of transport, new labour-saving devices – affected everyday life. There were new attitudes to social welfare, and reforms were introduced in a bid to improve the lot of even the poorest in society – albeit the picture often painted of Edwardian tea parties on the lawn on lazy summer days was still reserved for relatively few people in a Britain, which many now regard as the last great hurrah of the aristocracy in their so-called Golden Age.The Edwardians: Life and Times of the Golden Age tells the story of life in Britain – at the beginning of Edward’s reign over the most powerful nation on Earth – through the events, great and small, of what has also been known as the ‘Age of Optimism’.
The Full Story of the Air and Sea Battles of the Falklands War
Despite the Falklands War between Argentina and the UK lasting only ten weeks, it still had an enduring impact on military technology worldwide. Not since the Second World War had two capable navies and air forces clashed in open ocean. In a logistical master class, the British mustered 115 ships with no warning and sent them 8,000 miles south within days/ weeks. They initiated their campaign by sinking a large Argentine warship with a nuclear-powered submarine (SSN); the only time this has happened. It was also the first time that sea-skimming anti-ship missiles dominated naval tactics. In addition to this, the British launched an amphibious landing in the jet era, with only 28 serviceable Harrier fighters against 112 fighter jets – it was also the first time air-to-air combat depended entirely on a fighter aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (the Harrier). On the first day of Britain’s recovery effort, an RAF Vulcan bomber dropped twenty-one bombs to get one on target. After considerable ‘research under fire’, on the war’s last full day an RAF Harrier dropped a single laser guided bomb and scored a bullseye. As such, the war marks an important transition in British aviation technology. While both sides had six ships sunk, the British use of SSNs forced the entire Argentine navy to retreat to port. High British ship losses remain controversial, and they are compared here with losses in Operation Pedestal, the long-range naval action on a similar scale to save Malta in the Second World War. Losses were overall lower in the Falklands War, and the reasons behind this are discussed. The book also reveals what might have happened if the Argentine dictators had launched their war several months later, as originally considered.
The Colonial First Ladies
The first three First Ladies were born decades long before the United States became “states”. As mature women, married to arguably the most prominent men of their generation, they became political figures whether they liked it or not. All three were among the most consequential First Ladies in American history. Martha Dandridge Washington, the quintessential domestic lady, gladly went wherever her husband asked - including regular sojourns encamped with the army during wartime. She also spent eight years in New York and Philadelphia, supervising comfort in the then-executive mansions, setting the tone for the office itself. Abigail Smith Adams, the brilliant and intellectual lady, endured long separations from her politically and diplomatically active husband, survived a harrowing ocean voyage and awakened to a European sophistication she could never have imagined. Her intelligence and insights set a benchmark for what a First Lady could achieve. Dolley Payne Madison, the delightful and socially talented lady, became the most famous American woman of her time. She lifted her reticent and intellectual husband to a prominence he might never have achieved alone. She put the role on the map forever. In their own ways, they are our collective national great-grandmothers, deserving of our admiration and affection. Treasure them.
