He went on to become an expert on the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country. In Israel: What Went Wrong?, Bartov explores the transformation of Zionism from a movement of Jewish emancipation and liberation into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism, exclusion and violent domination of Palestinians. He traces the process whereby Israel – whose establishment in 1948 received international support in the aftermath of the Holocaust – now faces accusations of war crimes and genocide. What are the implications of Israel’s near total impunity for the post-1945 regime of international law? And how do we understand the widespread support for these policies by Israel’s Jewish citizen? he result is a searing and urgent critique that addresses today’s debates over Zionism, genocide, and the future of Israel with rigour and depth.

Folkish
Folkish is a trickster figure masquerading as a poetry collection. Full of ghosts, worms, saints, and Northern English folklore, Kym Deyn’s debut is playful, spirited and absolutely furious – moving between the alive, the legendary, and the haunted in endlessly inventive forms. Between deep time and mischief, Deyn’s poetry hungers and sharpens its spells – casting curses on bad landlords, exhaustion and poverty. These poems know intimately the coexistence of darkness and light, the mirror’s slippery surface, and all that moves like magic in the depths of forest and root, containing multitudes – “a million sipping leaf-mouths, now quiet and peaty”. Here, poetry is an act of wild transformation – boundless and entirely distinctive, unafraid of reconfiguration and re-enchantment.

The Diary of a Nobody
Having just moved into a fine, six-roomed residence, “the Laurels”, the Pooters are ready to begin a new life. Charles, the paterfamilias, a lowly clerk in a City of London firm, begins to keep a diary, one that, over the next fifteen months, will provide a record of the small trials and tribulations – as well as the preoccupations, aspirations and social anxieties – of a late-Victorian family. Serialized in Punch between 1888 and 1889, and later expanded and illustrated for publication in volume form in 1892, The Diary of a Nobody, the Grossmith brothers’ highest achievement, is a comic masterpiece and arguably one of the greatest artistic collaborations of all time.
Moss Medicine
A comprehensive illustrated guide to bryophytes• Explores more than 600 species of the bryophyte family of plants—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts—in text and full-color photos• Shows the ways that indigenous peoples around the world have traditionally used mosses and other bryophytes for food preservation, clothing, and medicine• Details scientific research on the potency of bryophyte compounds and terpenoids as well as their antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-cancer propertiesIn this comprehensive book, master herbalist Robert Dale Rogers reveals the unique healing benefits of bryophytes—the family of plants that includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. These plants are some of the oldest on our planet, and recently they have been recognized by science for their antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer properties. Bryophytes have no vascular tissue and no roots. Found on all continents in a wide range of climates, they survive—and thrive—by extracting moisture and nutrients directly from the air. Using full-color photographic examples, Rogers presents more than 600 species of bryophytes through the lenses of ethnobotany, folklore, chemistry, and pharmacology, and he shares their healing applications in homeopathy and aromatherapy. Rogers explains how Indigenous people all over the world have used bryophytes for millennia for food preservation, clothing, insulation, and medicine. He then compares the three types of bryophytes with scientific research on the medicinal effects of their chemical compounds, showing that mosses, liverworts, and hornworts can be used in herbal preparations, homeopathic remedies, and essential oils for common ailments. He also explains that bryophytes have environmental benefits, such as in the sequestration of carbon and the phyto-remediation of our increasingly polluted planet, revealing how these ancient plants have supported humanity for eons—and, fortunately for us, continue to do so.
A Song I Wrote For Charlotte
Get ready to meet a truly one-of-a-kind heroine: Connie Moore.
Connie Moore has never failed at anything. That is until the Royal Academy of Music decide her piano playing isn’t good enough and she finds herself pursuing her back-up plan: moving into student halls to study English Literature. With her grandmother piling on the pressure and her father’s absence weighing on her, she knows she has to stay focused this year – mediocrity must be avoided at all costs.
Just across the corridor, Music Production student Charlotte Owen has other ideas. Sweet, sociable and not a girl who takes no for an answer, Charlotte drags Connie determinedly into university life. As an unlikely friendship blossoms between them, Connie begins to wonder if there’s something more to the way she feels about Charlotte – and, even more terrifyingly, whether there’s something more to the way Charlotte feels about her.
But Charlotte isn’t the kind of person you can hold on to forever. And Connie might have to consider whether the life that Charlotte has built for her is one that she can sustain alone.
Modlíme sa s Vincentom de Paul
„Štyri storočia po založení Misijnej spoločnosti niet pochýb o tom, že charizma svätého Vincenta de Paul naďalej obohacuje Cirkev prostredníctvom rôznych apoštolátov a dobrých skutkov celej Vincentínskej rodiny. Dúfam, že oslavy 400. výročia založenia zdôraznia význam koncepcie svätého Vincenta o službe Kristovi v chudobných pre obnovu Cirkvi našich čias, v misionárskom učeníctve a v pomoci núdznym a opusteným na mnohých perifériách nášho sveta a na okraji povrchnej kultúry typu „použi a zahoď'."
— pápež František
„Vincent de Paul na vlastnej koži pocítil silný kontrast medzi najbohatšími a najchudobnejšími. Ako kňaz mal totiž možnosť pohybovať sa v aristokratických kruhoch, na vidieku, ale aj na periférii Paríža 17. storočia. Poháňaný Kristovou láskou dokázal zorganizovať stabilné formy pomoci margina-lizovaným ľuďom a založil takzvané „Charités", teda skupiny žien, ktoré venovali svoj čas a majetok tým najbiednejším. Niektoré z týchto dobrovoľ-níčok sa rozhodli úplne zasvätiť Bohu a chudobným, a tak spolu so svätou Luisou de Marillac založil svätý Vincent „Dcéry kresťanskej lásky", prvú ženskú spoločnosť, ktorá žila zasvätenie „vo svete" - medzi ľuďmi, s chorými a núdznymi."
— pápež Benedikt XVI.
„Sv. Vincent bol muž činu. Ja v ňom ale vidím aj muža trpezlivosti, lebo dokázal trpezlivo čakať na svoju príležitosť. Chcel vždy plniť Božiu a nie svoju vôľu. Príklad našiel v Ježišovi Kristovi. Boh práve skrze neho vyjadruje trpezlivosť so svetom. A to si uvedomoval aj sv. Vincent. Preto aj v dnešných časoch nám je veľkým príkladom."
— P. Róbert Bednár, CM
„Svätý Vincent ma najviac oslovil svojou dobrotou voči všetkým ľuďom, s ktorými sa stretol. Nežil len pre seba, ale chcel sa rozdať bratom a sestrám v Kristovi. Je to niečo veľké, keďčlovek myslí na druhých a nie na seba."
— fr. Ján Zemanovič, CM

As the ship sets sail, Medea and Atalanta will be forced to choose between the life they always wished for, and a love they secretly desire - but in a world ruled by men, it might just destroy them...
