The Pardon
“A splendid narrative about political power and mercy.” —David Grann, #1 bestselling author of The Wager The power of the presidential pardon has our national attention now more than ever before. This “thought-provoking and strenuously argued” (The Washington Post) book from New York Times bestselling author and CNN legal commentator Jeffrey Toobin provides a timely and compelling narrative of the most controversial presidential pardon in American history—Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, revealing the profound implications for our current political landscape, and how it is already affecting the legacies of both Presidents Biden and Trump. In this deeply reported book, Toobin explores why the Founding Fathers gave the power of pardon to the President and recreates the behind-the-scenes political melodrama during the tumultuous period around Nixon’s resignation. The story features a rich cast of characters, including Alexander Haig, Nixon’s last chief of staff, who pushed for the pardon, and a young Justice Department lawyer named Antonin Scalia, who provided the legal justification. Ford’s shocking decision to pardon Nixon was widely criticized at the time, yet it has since been reevaluated as a healing gesture for a divided country. But Toobin argues that Ford’s pardon was an unwise gift to an undeserving recipient and an unsettling political precedent. The Pardon explores those that followed: Jimmy Carter’s amnesty for Vietnam draft resisters, Bill Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, and the extraordinary story of Trump’s unprecedented pardons at the end of his first term. “A master class on a power wielded by presidents for more than 200 years” (The Guardian), The Pardon is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the complex dynamics of power within the highest office in the nation, and the implications of presidential mercy.

Delegátka z exotiky
Skutečný příběh ženy, která vyměnila jistotu domova za dobrodružství v tropickém ráji. Mauricius, jak ho turisté neznají – zákulisí resortů, kulturní střety, trapasy i chvíle, kdy exotika ztrácí lesk. Zkušená delegátka vypráví s nadhledem o práci, která je spíš zkouškou odvahy než dovolenou. Čtivý mix cestopisu, deníku a osobního příběhu o hledání sebe sama tam, kde moře voní po vanilce a občas i po realitě.

Shameful Silence
Break the silence surrounding male victims of domestic abuse and challenge harmful stereotypes Society has a blind spot — and one in three men are paying the price. Millions of men experience domestic abuse. Yet their suffering is routinely dismissed, minimized, or outright denied. Trapped by shame, stigma, and cultural myths about masculinity, they endure abuse in silence. Often, they lack the language to describe their experiences and face systems unwilling to protect them. In Shameful Silence, Human Rights attorney Alexandra Lozano exposes the hidden epidemic of male domestic abuse. With unflinching honesty, legal precision, and deep compassion, Lozano draws on sixteen years of frontline experience to advocate for vulnerable individuals in complex legal systems. She reveals a vital truth few confront: abuse can devastate without leaving bruises. Through survivor accounts and rigorous research, this book reveals sophisticated, often invisible tactics used against men, including gaslighting, financial control, parental alienation, false allegations, and using custody battles and immigration status as weapons. These abuses leave no visible scars yet dismantle identity, isolate victims, and destroy lives. Blending legal insight, psychological research, and deeply human storytelling, Shameful Silence challenges entrenched stereotypes about victimhood and masculinity. Lozano reframes strength not as silence but as truth. She offers readers clarity and validation that so many male survivors have never received. In this book, readers will discover: First-hand accounts from male survivors that illuminate emotional, psychological, financial, and physical abuse patterns often ignored or mischaracterizedExpert analysis of systemic failures within law enforcement, family courts, and healthcare systems that leave male victims unprotectedPractical guidance for recognizing abuse, setting boundaries, seeking support, and beginning the healing processResources and organizations specifically equipped to support male survivors of domestic violence. How to advocate for specific reforms—whether by contacting lawmakers, supporting organizations for male survivors, or challenging bias in their professional spheres—to ensure protection and equity for all victims. Shameful Silence is essential reading for male survivors seeking validation and a way forward. It is also vital for legal, healthcare, and education professionals, as well as social workers and advocates seeking deeper insight into non-physical abuse and institutional blind spots. This book expands our definition of abuse and challenges societal beliefs. It offers a blueprint for a world where every survivor is seen, heard, and protected.

GFI 30: priestory & miesta
Kniha mapuje tridsať rokov fungovania architektonického ateliéru GFI – jednej z najvýraznejších a najproduktívnejších architektonických kancelárií na Slovensku. Príbeh ateliéru, ktorý vyrástol z priateľstva, spoločných školských rokov a potreby robiť architektúru poctivo, sleduje cestu od improvizovaných začiatkov až po rozsiahle mestské projekty, ktoré dnes výrazne formujú podobu Bratislavy aj ďalších miest.
Publikácia predstavuje výber tridsiatich projektov, prostredníctvom ktorých odhaľuje nielen výslednú architektúru, ale aj spôsob uvažovania, proces hľadania a premýšľania nad mestom, priestorom a jeho budúcim fungovaním. Zachytáva vývoj ateliéru v čase – od prvých realizácií až po veľké mestské celky, ktoré vznikali v spolupráci s domácimi aj zahraničnými partnermi.
GFI sa za tri desaťročia podieľalo na viacerých ikonických stavbách súčasného Slovenska. Navrhlo veľkú časť bratislavského Downtownu vrátane prvého slovenského mrakodrapu Eurovea Tower. Medzi významné bratislavské realizácie patrí napr. aj rozšírenie nákupného centra Eurovea, polyfunkčný komplex Klingerka, administratívne budovy na Pribinovej 40 a Landererovej 12, objekt Panorama Business II či polyfunkčný súbor Downtown Yards. Takisto stoja za obnovou Kaštieľa Pálffy vo Svätom Jure a rekonštrukciou tatranských hotelov ako je Sliezsky dom pod Velickým plesom či rekonštrukcia Hotela Lomnica v Tatranskej Lomnici.
Kniha je obrazom práce, skúseností a premien architektonickej profesie počas posledných tridsiatich rokov. Je zároveň svedectvom o tom, že architektúra nevzniká iba z veľkých vízií, ale aj z tisícov rozhodnutí, čiar a hľadaní správnych riešení, ktoré napokon vytvárajú skutočné miesta pre život.

Reloaded – The Good, The Bad & The Rugby
THE HIGHS. THE HEARTBREAKS. THE HANGOVERS. THE PERSONAL. THE VULNERABLE. THE DOWNRIGHT ABSURD. IT'S TIME TO RELOAD. The rugby boys are back – and this time, it’s personal. Alex, Mike, and Hask return with their second book, ready to tackle everything from rugby highs and lows, to the absurdities of everyday life. As was widely predicted, our first book, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby – Unleashed, did not win a Pulitzer Prize. It did, however, scoop Sports Entertainment Book of the Year at the 2025 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards (and sold quite a lot of copies), so here we are again, back for a sequel. What more have we to say? It’s a fair question. Hask can mine more new material from a trip to the supermarket than most people can from an entire lifetime – and you won’t be surprised to learn that he hasn’t just been hanging around Asda since our last book came out. He recently turned 40, he’s been through much personal turmoil, he’s done an awful lot of DJing – and he’s had a lot of arguments. Expect much of that, and even some thoughts on rugby, in the following pages. As for Tins, you’ll find out about his early days in rugby, how he had to fight to make it, what he thinks of the state of the game, and his plans to get it back on track. Meanwhile, Alex will tell you all about his career in broadcasting, from making (‘disgusting’) tea and coffee, and presenting some of the greatest rugby matches in history, to getting binned by Sky. We should end by begging you to pardon our previous flippancy. It was, of course, lovely to win that award, as well as very surprising. In fact, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby will never stop surprising us, and its continuing success is largely down to you – our wonderful listeners, viewers and now readers. We do hope you enjoy what follows and that you keep coming back for more. Winners of the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2025 Sports Entertainment Book of the Year, for their previous book The Good, The Bad and The Rugby – Unleashed.
