Bernie Spofforth never intended to become a politicaldissident. Then she was arrested, publicly vilified, and held for 36 hours over a socialmedia post. No charge followed. But the experience changed everything. In A War to Win Back Your World, Spofforth traces the money,legislation, institutions, and global frameworks she believes are reshapingmodern life far beyond the reach of ordinary voters. From Net Zero and digital identity systems to migration policy, censorship, andeconomic control, she argues that power has steadily shifted away fromdemocratic accountability and into the hands of unelected networks,international institutions, NGOs, and corporate alliances. This is not a conspiracy book. It is an investigation. Written inplain English, with wit, anger, humour and deep research, A War to Win BackYour World asks a disturbing question:What if the biggest lie of our age isn’t what’s happening… but the beliefthat you still control it?

Now, she invites us to set our own inner compass, with mindsets, rituals and actions to help us:overcome burnout and mental blocks by blocking external noisereignite our creative inspiration and flow through making 'bad' art, andreconnect with intuition and self-trust by finding the values that guide us. Break free from the need for outside approval and create a vibrant, fulfilling life from the inside-out.

Po třech letech života, práce a cestování v Uzbekistánu, Tádžikistánu, Turkmenistánu a Kyrgyzstánu napsala Nikola Hrušková osobitý deník, který přibližuje realitu v dnešní Střední Asii. Zachycuje každodenní situace a interakce s místními i naplňování cestovatelských snů při projíždění Pamírského traktu, putování uzavřeným Turkmenistánem, zobrazuje tragédii vysychání Aralského jezera nebo všechny ty pestrobarevné orientální bazary a jejich (nejen) gastronomickou nabídku. Díky osobním zkušenostem a vztahům zprostředkuje čtenářům vhled do nelehkého života žen, smýšlení společnosti, významu náboženství a rodiny. Nechybí návštěvy významných historických míst Hedvábné stezky od Samarkandu až po Chivu, a také nablýskaných metropolí. Snaží se přiblížit osudy otevřených a sdílných lidí a ukázat více do hloubky, jaká je dnešní společnost a život ve Střední Asii, pro nás Evropany často tak naprosto odlišné a nepochopitelné.

Osm příběhů, osm autorek, osm pastí. Některé na nás číhají v labyrintu událostí, jiné si nosíme přímo v srdci. Jisté je jedno: i když věříme, že známe cestu, v každém zákoutí může číhat fatální rozhodnutí. Tato sbírka povídek odkrývá mechanismy pastí, které nejsou vidět, dokud v nich neuvízneme. Prozkoumejme možnosti lidské psychiky, hledejme cestu ze stínu, zjistěme, kde jsou naše limity. Někdy je tou pastí rodina, jindy naše vlastní minulost nebo strach být prostě jiný. A někdy je to jen tichý hlas, který šeptá o obavách či odvaze…

By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid. Following the introduction of the Fantastic Four in 1961 came the amazing (Spider-Man), the astonishing (Ant-Man), the strange (Doctor, that is), the incredible (Hulk), the invincible (Iron Man) and the mighty (Thor). Still, Marvel editor in chief Stan Lee realized something was missing. “I was writing these characters and I thought it would fun to put them together in a team,” he recalled. So Lee and artist Jack Kirby assembled Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor, and the Hulk to create the Avengers.Right away it was clear this team was different. If the Fantastic Four were family, then the Avengers were the co-workers you didn’t choose. Not everyone got along—the Hulk fought with everyone—but working together they could defeat the baddest of Marvel’s bad guys, like Loki, Kang the Conqueror, the Masters of Evil, and Immortus. The lineup was ever changing: The Hulk departed, Captain America joined, and Ant-Man grew up to become Giant-Man. Then, remarkably, villains Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch became heroes—and Avengers—and the group’s founding members shockingly departed, leaving Captain America to lead the newly-minted heroes.Relive the classic early adventures of Avengers Nos. 1–20 now available as a compact trade edition. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Accompanying the stories are an in-depth history by the Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek that’s illustrated with original art, little-seen photographs, and rare documents. This mighty collection about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is worthy of Tony Stark’s library—or yours.

The Bernese Oberland lies at the heart of the Swiss Alps, home to some of the most iconic mountain scenery in Europe. Towering above deep glacial valleys and turquoise lakes are legendary peaks such as the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, backed by higher summits including the Finsteraarhorn and Schreckhorn. Well-engineered mountain paths cross high passes, circle glacier-clad massifs and link welcoming huts and traditional alpine villages, making this region one of the finest trekking destinations in the Alps. This guidebook brings together five outstanding multi-day treks in the Bernese Oberland, offering over a month of walking in total. Routes range from classic circuits beneath the great north faces to quieter western ranges and remote high passes. Accommodation options are plentiful, from remote hütten and characterful mountain inns to small valley hotels, while Switzerland’s excellent network of trains, buses and cable cars makes access straightforward. Most treks are achievable in under a week, though they can be combined or adapted to suit longer adventures. The Treks: Tour of the Jungfrau Region (TJR) – 119km, 9 stages, ±8250m – A classic hut-to-hut circuit around Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Mürren beneath the mighty Jungfrau massif. Starting and finishing in Grindelwald, under the Wetterhorn and Eiger, this varied route offers superb mountain views, flexible stage options and plentiful accommodation. The Bärentrek (Via Alpina, National Route 1) – 82km, 5 stages, +6120m / -5550m – The central section of Switzerland’s Via Alpina, linking Meiringen to Kandersteg beneath the Wetterhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Long but straightforward early stages lead to more challenging crossings of the Sefinenfurgga and Hohtürli passes. A tough and rewarding high-level traverse. Via Berna (Alpine Section) – 122km, 9 stages, +8280m / -6920m – A linear trek from lakeside Spiez to the remote Sustenpass, using sections of the Via Alpina and sharing stages with the TJR. This mountain-focused section explores the Oberland from Lake Thun through Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Meiringen. Tour of the Wildstrubel – 127km, 6 stages, ±7500m – A circuit of the glaciated Wildstrubel massif from Kandersteg via Adelboden and Lenk, crossing the Rawilpass into Valais. Return options include the Gemmipass or the quieter Lötschental and Lötschenpass. Tour of the Wildhorn – 61km, 4 stages, ±4550m – A shorter but wild trek in the western Bernese Alps, beginning at Iffigenalp near Lenk. Crossing high terrain towards the Diablerets and into Valais, this compact route includes a pass at nearly 2900m. Across all five routes, trekkers encounter classic high passes such as the Hohtürli, Sefinenfurgga and Grosse Scheidegg; tranquil valleys including the upper Lauterbrunnen, Kiental and Kandertal; and beautiful alpine lakes such as Oeschinensee and Bachsee. The trekking season typically runs from mid-June to late September, with September often offering stable weather and quieter trails, though some accommodation closes at the end of the month. This guidebook includes: Full stage-by-stage route descriptions for all five Bernese Oberland treks, with clear daily distances, ascent and descent figures, route highlights and practical notes to help you plan realistic itinerariesDetailed mapping and route guidance, enabling confident navigation across high passes, mountain trails and valley approaches, with options for shortening, extending or linking stagesComprehensive accommodation listings for huts, mountain inns and valley hotels, including booking advice and guidance on planning overnight stops during the busy summer seasonExtensive planning information covering transport and access, including Switzerland’s integrated rail, bus and cable-car network, discount travel passes and advice on reaching start and finish pointsSeasonal and safety advice for trekking in the Berne

Staying Power, Zena Sharman''s memoir in essays, is a beautiful and honest journey of care work, grief, parenting, and chosen family in the wake of intergenerational trauma. Exploring the lessons and inheritances of being raised by survivors of complex traumas, the book challenges the notion that one must be healed in order to parent well and celebrates the transformative power of queer family-making beyond gay marriage and assimilation into the nuclear family. The book, which recounts the author''s experiences of raising three children in a four-parent queer family, asks, ''If leaving has helped you survive, how do you learn to stay?'' Sharman finds answers in queer kinship, femme erotics, leatherdyke lineages, and the radical possibilities inherent in doing mother work outside of motherhood, recognizing that sometimes you fight the thing you want most. Staying Power is a moving, deeply personal account of one person''s journey of unlearning independence through an experiment in queer collective care.

Why did you get yourself into this, Edith? Was it all worth it? Born and raised in a liberal Jewish family in Vienna, Edith Tudor-Hart’s legacy is defined by her pioneering social photography and her pivotal role in the recruitment of Kim Philby as a Soviet agent. Arrested for her involvement with socialist groups, Edith emigrated to England in 1933 to escape political and religious persecution. There, her photography came to reflect her socialist ideals, and her clandestine work for the Soviet Union meant she would spend the rest of her life under the suspicion and close surveillance of MI5. The Darkrooms of Edith Tudor-Hart is the culmination of Peter Stephan Jungk’s enduring fascination with his cousin’s life. His vivid portrait reveals a woman whose life was shrouded in secrecy and whom – in his confession to MI5 a decade before Edith’s death – the Soviet spy Anthony Blunt called ‘the grandmother of us all.’
