White Power
Beginning in the colonial era and growing through the American Revolution and the Southern plantation system, slaveholders’ violent police regime continued after Emancipation, through Reconstruction, to today. Moving across time, space, and place, White Power uncovers how slaveholders created their own white supremacist police and government to deny Black people rights, power, and humanity. Legal historian Gautham Rao introduces us to laws that empowered white people to forcibly exercise their desired racial superiority over Black people, shows how they spread from the South throughout the nation, and traces the rebellions, fugitivity, activism, and legal systems that challenged them. Rao’s narrative includes slaveholders, lawmakers, and the Ku Klux Klan, dramatic escapes by runaway enslaved people, abolitionist activism in courtroom showdowns, and pitched battles between white paramilitaries and enslaved rebels. He offers a new interpretation of the history of policing in the US, centering the institution and legacy of slavery and speaking to the origins of today’s persistence of white vigilance, white supremacist militia groups, and white racist cops determined to maintain power over Black people by force. Equally determined, however, was Black Americans’ refusal to accept it.

The Dallas Way
Uncovers the untold story of LGBT activists in the American South as they navigated faith and politicsFor more than forty years, historians have researched the formation of gay communities and activism in the United States. Yet, the vast majority of scholarship on gay activism in the United States focuses on liberal urban areas like San Francisco, New York City, and Chicago, as opposed to conservative regions. In The Dallas Way, M. Rhys Dotson examines the development and impact of Dallas's queer community throughout the twentieth century. The book explores the unique challenges and values that impacted queer residents' experiences in conservative regions, from the interplay of traditional family structures, to religious values, and skepticism of rapid social change. Responding to these circumstances, Dotson highlights how early gay activists adopted a nuanced form of activism that both challenged and aligned with their city's conservative values, forging a distinctive path to equality through their own "Dallas Way." Moreover, the book illustrates how activists utilized strategies that complemented existing social and political structures in Dallas to further their advocacy for collective equality. From the formation of the state's first homophile organization, the Circle of Friends, in 1966, to the establishments of a gay-affirming church and the Dallas Gay Political Caucus in the 1970s, the book showcases the way Dallas' queer activism used religious communities and political activism to foster community and circumvent law enforcement raids. Offering a fresh perspective on the history of LGBT activism in the United States, The Dallas Way displays the unique strategies Southern gay activists leveraged to effect meaningful change and equality in Dallas.

'Captivating' NAOMI NOVIK'A brilliant writer with an intriguing imagination' SANTA MONTEFIORE‘Rich, immersive and wonderfully escapist’ GUARDIAN____________Anne of Brittany was a child when her land was invaded, her castle besieged, and her royal father driven to his death. Now Brittany is occupied by her enemies, her treasury empty, and only one thing is lacking to complete her realm’s subjugation: she is required, on pain of the sword, to marry the King of France. But Anne cannot. She has promised her dead father that Brittany would never be conquered. Defiantly, she betroths herself in secret to France’s greatest enemy. But in a world where courts may spy on each other by magic, there is only one way to solemnize this illicit union.

She tells the French that she had gone there to hunt unicorns. It’s a ruse, a lie, a feint. But when, against all expectations, a unicorn does appear and a wounded stranger stumbles from the trees and falls at her feet, Anne is plunged into a world of enchantment where a doomed sovereign might find the power to change the destiny of her nation - or be lost in the mist for ever. ____________Readers are loving The Unicorn Hunters:‘One of my most anticipated books of 2026 and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!’ 5-star reader review‘Absolutely enchanting’ 5-star reader review‘A magnificent fairy tale, and I loved it with all my heart!!!!’ 5-star reader review‘Truly unforgettable’ 5-star reader review‘Absolutely dazzling in plot and character and prose’ 5-star reader review‘This alchemy of history, fairy tale, romance, and setting that just blows me away’ 5-star reader review‘I was completely consumed’ 5-star reader review‘Full-body immersion into a world of danger, enchantment, heartbreak, and fierce, breathtaking courage’ 5-star reader review

Keltská mytologie
Velká ilustrovaná encyklopedie: Bohové, hrdinové, netvoři a legendy starých keltů.
Tento obsáhlý svazek je kompletním průvodcem podmanivým světem keltské mytologie. Odhalte jeho tajemství a nechte se pohltit dávnou magií!
Keltské kmeny ze střední Evropy migrovaly do Francie, na Pyrenejský poloostrov a na Britské ostrovy, kde postupně daly vzniknout irské, velšské, cornwallské a bretaňské mytologii. V jádru tohoto geografického rozšíření stála kosmologie bohatá na přírodní symboliku, v níž se svět duchů úzce prolínal s každodenním životem. Na významných posvátných místech, jako jsou Brú na Bóinne
a pahorek Tara, můžeme toto propojení keltského Onoho světa s pozemskou říší pozorovat zcela zřetelně.
Koňská bohyně Epona byla široce uctívána v Británii, Galii i v některých částech Pyrenejského poloostrova. Její kult zahrnoval budování malých svatyní všude tam, kde byli ustájeni koně. S rostoucí oblibou Epony převzaly její uctívání také jezdecké oddíly římské armády.
Uctíváni byli samozřejmě i mužští keltští bohové, především Dagda, Lugh, Cernunnos a Manannán, bůh jezer a moří. Vedle těchto božstev nacházíme ve velšských vyprávěních také draky, čaroděje a magii, zaznamenané během keltského obrození v 19. století v souboru Mabinogi, který vychází ze čtrnácti staletých pergamenů křesťanských mnichů. Dozvídáme se zde i o okolnostech narození Myrddina – čaroděje Merlina – jehož mýtus se vine jako nit příběhy raných Britských ostrovů a jehož postava sehrála klíčovou roli v legendě o králi Artušovi, jak se zrodila v mlhavých krajinách středověké Anglie a Francie.
Keltská mytologie tvořila podstatnou část základů západoevropských představ a víry až do příchodu Římanů a následného rozšíření křesťanství od 5. století našeho letopočtu.
Swimming for England
A darkly satirical literarythriller that will captivate readers of transgressive fiction and socialcritique. When Faisal emerges from the English Channel after his record-breaking swim from France, Brian and Eileen Pratchett expectgratitude—after all, they rescued him from the refugee pool, fed him, trainedhim, transformed him. But Cameron, a young Scottish drifter, has come searchingfor his brother Malcolm, one of the Pratchetts' earlier 'projects.' Malcolm wasgoing to be a tennis champion. Instead, he disappeared. As Cameron's questions growmore pointed and Faisal's gratitude turns ambiguous, the Pratchetts' carefullymaintained facade begins to crack. Behind their respectable seafront home withits immaculate rose garden lies a darker story—one of control, obsession, andthe terrible price of failing to meet expectations. Swimming for England is amasterful psychological portrait that operates simultaneously as thriller,social satire, and searing indictment. Goodman's prose is both beautiful andbrutal, his imagery visceral, his characters rendered with uncomfortable intimacy. This is fiction that disturbs, provokes, and lingers—perfect for book clubsseeking compact, challenging material and readers who appreciate the intersection ofliterary ambition and page-turning suspense.

Újraépített életek
Mit jelent szenvedélybeteg szülő mellett felnőni? Milyen nyomot hagy mindez a személyiségünkön?
Szenvedélybeteg családból induló gyermekek gyakran láthatatlan terheket visznek tovább: kimondatlan félelmeket, bizonytalanságot, fokozott felelősségérzetet, sérült kötődési mintázatokat és nehezen megfogalmazható veszteségélményeket.
Ez a kötet a szenvedélybeteg szülők felnőtt gyermekeinek tapasztalatait állítja középpontba. Tudományos igényességgel és mély emberi érzékenységgel tárja fel a sajnos milliókat érintő függőség pszichés örökségét, miközben személyes történeteken – többek között Karafiáth Orsolya, Tompa Andrea és más megszólalók vallomásain – keresztül láthatóvá teszi azt, ami legtöbbször generációkon át kimondatlan marad.
A könyv hozzájárul a jelenség mélyebb megértéséhez, és kapaszkodót nyújt az érintetteknek saját élményeik értelmezéséhez, valamint fontos szakmai támpontokat kínál a segítőknek – legyenek akár a terület szakértői, akár az érintettekhez közel álló személyek.
Mert a múltunk formál bennünket – de nem szükségszerűen határozza meg, kik lehetünk.

Spinoza, Atheist
From Pulitzer Prize finalist Steven Nadler, a fascinating historical and philosophical narrative that unravels the mystery of whether Spinoza was an atheistIn 1656, a young Amsterdam merchant was excommunicated by his Portuguese-Jewish community in the harshest terms it had ever used. Baruch Spinoza was accused of unspecified “horrifying heresies,” but the precise reasons for his expulsion remain a mystery. When he published his Theological-Political Treatise in 1670, which was condemned as “the most atheistic book ever written,” he began to reveal to the world what his heresies may have been. Yet ever since the eighteenth century, most readers and scholars have assumed that Spinoza was a pantheist—even a “God-intoxicated man,” as the poet Novalis put it. After all, how could a person whose books are suffused with talk of God be an atheist? In Spinoza, Atheist, Steven Nadler, one of the world’s leading authorities on the philosopher, aims to settle the question and show that that’s exactly what he was. Nadler makes a powerful case that there is no real divinity for Spinoza. God is Nature, and isn’t an object of worshipful awe or religious reverence but can only be understood through philosophy and science. There is nothing supernatural—no mystery, ineffability, or sublimity. Spinoza does speak of “blessedness” and “salvation,” but these, too, are to be understood in natural and rational terms, as the peace of mind and happiness that come from understanding ourselves and the world. Whether Spinoza believed in God is a fascinating and enduring controversy. Spinoza, Atheist promises to transform our understanding of his views and to make clear just how radical a thinker he was and remains.
