Settling Debt
Settling Debt overturns the familiar tale of early antislavery as a pure moral triumph by revealing its uneasy ties to colonial ambition and economic anxiety. Cameron Seglias shows how, from the late seventeenth century through the American Revolution, settlers and religious writers condemned slavery as a threat to their own prosperity and salvation. Debt, understood both as money owed and moral obligation, anchored their vision of freedom and shaped how they justified seizing Indigenous lands while denouncing racial bondage. Drawing from neglected books, pamphlets, poems, and dramatic protests, like the radical acts of Benjamin Lay, Seglias weaves literary close readings with sharp historical insights to expose how freedom and dispossession were two sides of the same coin. At once readable and provocative, Settling Debt compels us to see how the language of moral debt masked the building of a colonial order rooted in inequality. In revisiting this past, Seglias offers a timely reminder: The debts of America's founding have yet to be settled.

The Latecomer's Rise
In The Latecomer's Rise, Muyang Chen reveals the nature and impact of a rapidly growing form of international lending: Chinese development finance. Over the past few decades, China has become the world's largest provider of bilateral development finance. Through its two national policy banks, the China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim), it has funded infrastructure and industrial projects in numerous emerging markets and developing countries. Yet this very surge and magnitude of capital has raised questions about the characteristics of Chinese bilateral lending and its repercussions on the international order. Drawing on a variety of novel Chinese primary sources, including interviews and official bank documents, Chen pinpoints the distinctiveness of Chinese bilateral development finance, explains its origins, and analyzes its effects. She compares Chinese policy banks with their foreign counterparts to show that the CDB and China Exim, while state-supported, are in fact also market-oriented - they are as much government organs as they are profit-driven financial agencies that serve both state and firms' interests. This approach, which emerged out of China's particular economic history, suggests that Chinese overseas lending is not merely a tool of economic statecraft that challenges Western-led economic regimes. Instead, China's responses to extant rules, norms, and practices across given issue areas have varied between contestation and convergence. Rich with empirical detail and penetrating insights, The Latecomer's Rise demystifies the little-known workings of Chinese development finance to revise our conceptions of China's role in the international financial system.
Newham at Work
The London Borough of Newham was created in 1965 by the merger of the County Borough Councils of East Ham and West Ham. At first, industry was concentrated on the banks of the river Lea (or Lee). The coming of the railways coupled with the rise of new technologies in the Victorian era, and legislation prohibiting many of the smellier and noisier industries from operating within London led to the rapid growth of industry and population within Newham from the 1840s onwards. The area grew rich from industry, with famous names such as Tate & Lyle and Trebor Sweets, railway engineering at Stratford and the docks. Marshland south of Plaistow and East Ham was drained to create the docks and the industrial areas of Canning Town and Silvertown, the latter named after a local entrepreneur. Much of this industry fell into decline from the late twentieth century. When the docks closed in 1981 and relocated to Tilbury, the London Docklands Development Corporation was set up to regenerate the Docklands area with London City Airport and a new University of East London campus taking their place, and retail became the major employer in the area.Newham at Work explores the working life of this borough in London and its people and the industries that have characterised it through the years. The book will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of Newham.
Southdown Bristol REs
Southdown Motor Services, the acclaimed South Coast operator with their instantly recognisable green-and-cream livery, were loyal Leyland customers for many years. They took delivery of their first Bristol RE buses in early 1968, further deliveries in 1969 and 1971 and inherited thirteen following the take-over of Brighton Hove and District, bringing the fleet total to eighty-five.The first batch of Bristol REs were forty-five-seaters with Marshall bodywork delivered between April and July in 1968. The second batch, seating forty-nine, also had Marshall bodies and were delivered from April 1969 onward. These buses were fitted with Gardner engines at the rear and Southdown specified manual gear boxes in both batches. Unpopular with some drivers and on some routes, they were nevertheless part of the history of the company. Nine Marshall-bodied examples were added to the fleet in 1971. These were semi-automatic, with Leyland supplying the engine, and were powerful and easier to drive than their earlier counterparts. Three more arrived that year featuring more conventional Eastern Coach Works bodies. Those acquired from Brighton Hove and District had Gardner engines, semi-automatic gearboxes and twin-door Eastern Coach Works bodies.Simon Stanford details Southdown’s Bristol REs with previously unpublished images and detailed captions. Three buses survive, regularly attending shows and rallies in the South East, and are also pictured here.
Anne Boleyn's First Love
In the Tudor court, love blossomed when Henry Percy met Anne Boleyn. However, their romance was abruptly torn apart by Cardinal Wolsey, who chastised Percy, an earl’s son, for choosing to marry the daughter of a mere knight. Despite a spirited defence, Percy was ordered to no longer see her. Percy was forced into marrying Mary Talbot, daughter of the fourth Earl of Shrewsbury. The loveless match proved acrimonious and bitter, culminating in Mary accusing her husband of trying to poison her. After a quarrel in which Percy, now sixth Earl of Northumberland, mentioned his betrothal to Anne Boleyn, Mary wrote to her father to warn King Henry VIII that her husband and Anne had been precontracted, hoping to stop the king marrying her. But there was more to Henry Percy than being Anne’s first love. Though often ill, he executed all the rough and arduous duties of Scottish border warfare, proving to be a strong and effective Warden of the North. His was a full life, though not a particularly happy one. In June 1537, aged thirty-five and old before his time, he died poor and ostensibly alone. He was buried on the same day he died, the crown denying him even the usual aristocratic funeral. In the first full-length biography of this fascinating man, Jan-Marie Knights tells a story of love, duty and loss.
Waylon University 4: To ti slibuju
Dillon McQueen: Kdy tě zase uvidím?
Serena Jensenová: Ehm, kdo jsi?
Na Waylonu se traduje jistá legenda: první dívka, kterou políbíš v prvním ročníku u táboráku, je ta, na kterou nikdy nezapomeneš. Zadře se ti pod kůži a probudí v tobě takovou vášeň, že bys pro ni udělal cokoli na světě.
Možná ji dokonce požádáš o ruku.
Ale… důležité je správné načasování. Ten polibek se může příšerně zvrtnout. Ta dívka může utéct. A Serena opravdu utekla.
Dillon je hvězdný quarterback Waylonu, který potřebuje dostudovat a dostat se do NFL. Co ale rozhodně nepotřebuje, je potkat dívku, kterou políbil u táboráku v prvním ročníku. Copak nestačí, že ho pronásleduje ve snech?
Osud se mu vysměje do očí, když na ni nečekaně narazí v obchodě. Obklopen svým dívčím harémem si ležérně nahází do košíku všechna balení sušenek Oreo, které ona miluje. Ona mu to oplatí a vykoupí poslední balení jeho oblíbeného piva.
Ta legenda je určitě prokletím. Ona není jeho typ, a navíc ho určitě nenávidí. Ba co hůř – jak je možné, že si na něj nevzpomíná, když mu před třemi lety vypálila do srdce cejch?
Proč o ni přes to všechno pořád usiluje?
Získá nový hvězdný quarterback vysněnou dívku, nebo udělá největší chybu svého života?

A claustrophobic psychological thriller about family loyalty, deadly secrets and the price of keeping your word, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena.
The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed
In The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed, Éric Rebillard argues that the appearance of Christian signs and practices in the Roman Empire has long been misunderstood. Rather than marking a rapid wave of conversions or the triumph of belief, the spread of Christian signs reflected a more complex and fluid religious landscape. Rebillard offers a striking new account of how Christianity took hold, not through adherence to doctrine or formal membership in a church, but through a gradual diffusion of signs and practices. Drawing on cognitive science, anthropology, and theories of religious mobility, he shows how individuals across the ancient Mediterranean experimented with religious symbols: adopting some, abandoning others, and often blending them without concern for consistency. Rebillard maps out a world where religious affiliation was provisional, situational, and rarely exclusive. The Triumph of Christianity Redescribed challenges the idea that Christianity's rise was a straightforward story of growth, mission, or hegemony. By replacing a triumphalist narrative with one attuned to ambiguity, resilience, and the everyday realities of religious life in late antiquity, Rebillard offers scholars and general readers alike a richer, more accurate account of how Christianity spread—and what that spread actually meant.

Práce a Mzdy 8-9/2026 - Stravné, Rekreácie
Pri vyslaní zamestnanca na pracovnú cestu zamestnávateľom vzniká zamestnancovi nárok na cestovné náhrady. Najčastejšie vyplácanou náhradou je stravné za každý kalendárny deň pracovnej cesty v tuzemsku aj v zahraničí. Kedy má zamestnanec zo zákona o cestovných náhradách pri tuzemských pracovných cestách nárok na poskytnutie stravného? Aké sumy stravného platia od 1. decembra 2025 pre rok 2026?

Zamestnanec má voči zamestnávateľovi povinnosti, ktoré sa zaviazal plniť pri podpise pracovnej zmluvy, jednou z povinnosti je aj dodržiavanie pracovnej disciplíny. Ak zamestnanec pracovnú disciplínu nedodrží, môžu nasledovať sankcie. Aké sankcie môže zamestnávateľ za porušenie pracovnej disciplíny uplatniť? Intenzita porušenia pracovnej disciplíny je jedným zo základných hľadísk pri rozhodovaní o postihu (sankcie) za porušenie pracovnej disciplíny. Zákonník práce rozlišuje medzi dvoma intenzitami porušenia pracovnej disciplíny - závažné a menej závažné, pričom rozdiel medzi závažným a menej závažným porušením pracovnej disciplíny súčasná právna úprava nevymedzuje. Čo sa teda považuje za závažné a za menej závažné porušenie pracovnej disciplíny sa ponecháva na posúdení alebo rozhodnutí zamestnávateľa, ktorý by mal ku každému zamestnancovi a k posúdeniu jeho porušenia pracovnej disciplíny pristupovať individuálne, s prihliadnutím na konkrétne konanie konkrétneho zamestnanca.
John Constantine Hellblazer
Anglický kouzelník, lhář, podvodník... a hlavní hrdina řady, ve které se městská fantasy střetává s hororem. John Constantine (známý i díky filmu s Keanu Reevesem v hlavní roli), chlápek v baloňáku, s cigaretou v puse, vždy připravený urážet a podrážet své okolí, se nám tady představí v příbězích od těch nejslavnějších komiksových tvůrců!
V knize se bude potýkat s nebezpečným deníčkem, s kultem uctívajícím atomovou bombu a skupinou zlodějů, kteří se rozhodnou ukrást magický artefakt… a netuší, čemu otevřeli dveře. A je tu i příběh Syn člověka vyprávějící o tom, jak byl John Constantine kdysi přinucen oživit syna šéfa podsvětí. Jediná možnost, jak to udělat, byla provést antiexorcismus – do dětského těla přivolat démona. Nyní, o šestnáct let později, ovoce tehdejšího zoufalého činu dozrálo, puklo a zalilo Londýn shnilou šťávou. A Constantine se musí postavit tváří v tvář noční můře, kterou vyvolal.
