Why Religious Freedom Matters
Marshalling unprecedented global scholarship, Allen Hertzke demonstrates how religious freedom is pivotal to democratic, peaceful, and flourishing societies. The twenty-first century has witnessed a rising crisis of religious repression and persecution. In Why Religious Freedom Matters, Allen Hertzke synthesizes vast evidence from history, ethnography, and worldwide statistical analyses to make the compelling empirical case for the role of religious liberty in shaping a better global future. In rich detail, Hertzke demonstrates how religious freedom nurtures democracy, fosters prosperity, and cultivates international peace. The book also reveals the surprising ways that religious liberty and equality unleash personal agency that empowers women and uplifts the poor. Religious freedom uniquely matters, Hertzke argues, because it goes to the heart of human personhood and aspiration—the right "to be who we are," to act on ultimate commitments, and to be treated with equal worth and dignity. Based on a quarter century of immersion in global networks of scholarship and activism on religious freedom, Hertzke has produced a landmark volume showing how we can navigate the challenge of living with our differences in a shrinking world.

Čarovné Humenné a okolie
Čarovné Humenné a okolie je výnimočná fotografická publikácia, ktorá vás pozýva objaviť kraj plný prírodnej krásy, histórie a ľudských príbehov. Na východe krajiny, tam, kde sa kopce dvíhajú z hmly a rieky si ticho hľadajú cestu dolinami, leží kraj, ktorý má v sebe zvláštny pokoj – Humenné a jeho okolie.
Nad mestom sa rozprestiera Vihorlat, hora, ktorá mení farby s každým ročným obdobím. Dominantou regiónu je pôvabný renesančný kaštieľ, ktorý už storočia stráži srdce mesta. Neďaleko neho dýcha minulosť v skanzene, kde sa tradície a remeslá premieňajú na živú pripomienku našich koreňov. V okolitých kopcoch sa skrývajú zvyšky hradov a hradísk – tiché svedkovia dávnych čias, doplnené majestátnymi výhľadmi na Vihorlatské vrchy.
V dolinách sa rozprestierajú dediny, kde dni plynú pomaly. Zrúcaniny hradu Brekov a Jasenov sú ako kamenné poznámky pod čiarou – pripomínajú, že čas tu plynie inak, pokojnejšie. Kostoly v Mačkovciach, Hankovciach, vo Vyšnej Sitnici či v Turcovciach zdobia krajinu ako biele body viery.

Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he'll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She's everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she's ready to or not.

From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he's the devil planning to make her life hell. Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family's glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler's ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn't know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can't seem to keep their hands off each other.

The Monkey on Frida's Shoulder
The Monkey on Frida’s Shoulder is an imaginative re-telling of the life of Frida Kahlo, seen through the eyes of her house pet Nat—a talking spider monkey with a taste for linguistics, haute couture, and detective novels. After fleeing the destruction of his native jungle, the orphaned monkey arrives in Mexico City in the early 20th century, where he forms an unlikely bond with spirited young Frida Kahlo. Together they roam the city streets, their mischief tinged with rebellion, as Nat pledges loyalty to Frida through devastating accidents, ideological battles, and her tempestuous marriage to Diego Rivera. But devotion has its limits. As Frida’s world grows darker and more insular, Nat is forced to confront the cost of loyalty and the need for moral clarity. His journey beyond the Casa Azul introduces readers to a pious Chihuahua, a shimmer of monarch butterflies, and the enigmatic guest Natalia Trotsky. Blending magical realism, absurdism, and Mexican history, Catherine Barrera’s debut novel reimagines one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century from an utterly original perspective. Both irreverent fable and love letter to Casa Azul, The Monkey on Frida’s Shoulder captures the blurred borders of magic, myth, and reality in a way that will resonate with fans of literary fiction, Latin American history, and Frida Kahlo’s enduring legacy.

Voices Beyond the Grave
Voices Beyond the Grave uncovers critically understudied histories of Japanese internment and labor diasporas in the French Pacific. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, French colonial authorities, following Charles de Gaulle’s orders, detained over a thousand Japanese civilians residing across French-Pacific island territories and deported them to Australian internment camps. France’s logics of colonial racial capitalism maintained far-reaching impacts on wartime Japanese emigrant communities in the francophone territories of Tahiti, New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and New Caledonia. In this book, New Caledonia, a strategic outpost in de Gaulle’s Free French empire and a U.S. stronghold during World War II, is a focal point for exploring the complex structures of power and resistance that arose from settler colonialism, Native dispossession, and the mass incarceration of Japanese civilians. Through rare letters from Japanese internees and interviews with their descendants, this book unveils the emotional and political struggles of mixed-race, Japanese-Melanesian children and families caught in the crossfire of racial settler coloniality. Drawing from military archives in Japanese, French, and English languages, this work also connects the internment of the French-Pacific Japanese to broader, global economies of racialized incarceration and labor, extending to Japanese American internees in the United States. Finally, the author delves into the fate of Japanese detainees sent to Australia, tracing their harrowing experiences from being perceived as enemy aliens during the war to displaced strangers in their postwar lives in Japan. This book goes beyond history—it is a call for racial justice. At the heart of Voices Beyond the Grave is the author’s global humanitarian project that has reunited descendants of Japanese internees living in Japan with their long-lost families in New Caledonia, resolving eighty-year-old historical enigmas while healing the wounds of wartime injustice. Voices Beyond the Grave sits at the interdisciplinary nexus of empire history and decolonial activism, charting new directions in transpacific studies. With insights into the lives of the Melanesian, Japanese, and French children and families that the vicissitudes of World War II irrevocably shaped, this book reveals the Indigenous and Japanese afterlives that have haunted the French Pacific.

The Secret of the Temple
Unlock the hidden sacred temple science of the ancient world, that has informed Freemasonry and the Grail TraditionJohn Michael Greer unlocks the secrets of ancient temples in this pioneering discussion of their sacred geometry, that gave rise to the world’s most awe-inspiring cathedrals, and the cryptic ceremonies of modern-day Freemasons. Thousands of years ago, people began to notice that certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained their lives. The Temple of Solomon was one of many of these ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition, and its secrets and traditions were passed along by way of the Knights Templar to the Freemasons. Within these pages, Greer expertly unpicks the mysterious history of Freemasonry, tracing the ancient secrets of the temple in different religions and geographies, from Mesopotamia, to China, to Japan, to Africa. The book also explores the place of the temple in Christianity, as well as the Grail tradition. In the final two sections of the book, Greer reveals how the sacred geometry, and the technology of the temple, were used to yield significant benefits to local agricultural fertility, revealing how these secrets can be used again today. The Secret of the Temple rebuilds this lost body of knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover the secrets of freemasonry, sacred geometry, and the Grail tradition.
