From Ritual to God in the Ancient Near East
Human belief systems and practices can be traced to ca. 10,000 BCE in the Ancient Near East, where the earliest evidence of ritual structures and objects can be found. Religious architecture, the relics of human skeletons, animal symbolism, statues, and icons all contributed to a complex network into which the spiritual essence of the divine was materially present. In this book, Nicola Laneri traces the transformation of the belief systems that shaped life in ancient Near Eastern communities, from prehistoric times until the advent of religious monotheism in the Levant during the first millennium BCE. Considering a range of evidence, from stone ceremonial enclosures, such as as Göbleki Tepe, to the construction of the first temples and icons of Mesopotamian polytheistic beliefs, to the Temple of Jerusalem, the iconic center of Israelite monotheism, Laneri offers new insights into the symbolic value embodied in the religious materiality produced in the ancient Near East.

Árulás.
Ő volt az éjszakában rám váró álnokság, a váratlan igazság. Egész életemben átvertek. Most végre megtudtam az igazat. A bábja voltam, csak nem vettem észre a zsinórjaimat.
Hiába tudom, hogy elárult, nem tudok megszabadulni a köztünk lévő, tagadhatatlan köteléktől. Gray egyetlen pillantásával képes lángra lobbantani a lelkemet. Ellenségek vagyunk, és nemsokára összecsapunk azért a jövőért, amit nemrég még el akartam pusztítani.
A magiszter halála után már nem vágyom annyira a bosszút. A megmaradt boszorkányok nem játszottak szerepet a nagynéném halálában, és az egyetlen, aki a sérelmek gyógyításának útjában áll, éppen az, aki elszántan az ágyában akar tartani.
De a Koven életben maradt tagjai sosem fogják megbocsátani, hogy részt vettem vezetőik leigázásában és elpusztításában. Az egészben az a legrosszabb, hogy ezért nem is tudom hibáztatni őket. Naiv voltam. Mindent oly nagyszerűen elképzeltem, de a sorsnak más tervei voltak. Olyanok, amik már századokkal a születésem előtt mozgásba lendültek.
Ám még ez is hazugság volt, és most az én kötelességem, hogy minden erőmet latba vetve megpróbáljam megállítani.
Hogy megvédjem a Kovenemet a férjem gyűlöletétől – bármi áron.

A Brief History of the Coast in 100 Objects
An immersive history of our coasts and the people who have shaped them The coast means something different to everyone. It’s a place of pleasure and reckless pursuits, of fishing, fearless endeavours and a crashing, rugged beauty. The coast is, and always has been, our first line of defence and our springboard to other cultures. Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our history, culture, and identity. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a unique story.

Readers will discover how the coast has influenced our beliefs, economy, and even our domestic lives. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands. From one of Britain’s finest historians of material culture, this book vividly captures the enduring magic and significance of our shores. Whether it’s smugglers’ underpants or sailor’s hoaxes, whale vomit or pickled puffin – it all washes up on the British coast…
Winter War 1939–40
The first illustrated study in English of the Finnish Air Force’s battle to repel the Soviet invaders during the Winter War, one of the greatest David-and-Goliath air battles in history. In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded its neighbour Finland, sparking the Winter War. While Finland was heavily outnumbered in all respects, in few respects was the contest so uneven as in the air. In this book, veteran Finnish aviation historian Kari Stenman draws on his decades of research to present the first account in English of the Finnish Air Force’s defence of the country’s skies, a clash that pitted its 114 combat aircraft against the Soviets’ 2,318. He explains that, equipped initially with a handful of British and Dutch aircraft, Finland’s air force adopted similar guerrilla tactics to its infantry. Fokker D.XXI interceptors were scattered to remote landing grounds to ambush the Soviets and give an impression of strength, while the bombers were first used for long-range reconnaissance and harassment. Over the course of the war, the Finns received new Gladiators, Fiat G.50s and French MS.406s, until at the close of the war, all flying units were thrown in to repel the Russian invasion across the frozen Gulf of Finland. Illustrated with previously unpublished photos, superb original artwork, 3D diagrams and maps, this reveals for the first time the full story of how Finnish aviators fought for their country’s independence.
