The Radiant Dark
It's March 1980, and Carol Girard and her husband are living an ordinary life in a small town in the Adirondacks. They have just had their first child, and though Carol is struggling with the challenges of new motherhood, her future seems clear. Until something extraordinary happens: an inexplicable flickering of light in the sky, which is ultimately determined to be communication from intelligent life on another planet. But these beings are eleven light-years away, and nothing is known about them other than the fact that they seem to know we exist too. And so begins a decades-long exchange of messages with this mysterious, faraway civilization.
As humanity reels from a shifting understanding of its place in the universe, we follow the stories of the Girard family: Carol, whose fascination with this other life sparks a desperate search for spiritual meaning; Michael, her loyal son, who finds solace not in the stars above his head but in the ground beneath his feet; and Ro, Carol's bright and ambitious daughter, whose childhood goal to work in interstellar communication will evolve into something far grander. Tracing five decades of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, The Radiant Dark is a stunning examination of a family navigating their lives with the knowledge that we are not alone.
Other Women
After dropping out of college, a young woman wanders through New York both invisible and vulnerable, studying the city's strong magic and longing for a man she knows will never love her back. Salvation appears to arrive when Charlotte Herzfeld, the young wife of a successful businessman, hires her as a live-in nanny to accompany the family on a trip to Berlin. As the Herzfelds begin to crack under the weight of their secrets, she finds herself in a more precarious position than ever before. Reflective yet propulsive, and told in a voice both ingenuous and insightful, Other Women is a timeless and all-too-relatable tale of unwise decisions and unfortunate fixations. This volume includes three new short stories and an introduction from Megan Nolan.

Anatomie trpící duše
Moderní psychiatrie bývá spojována se jmény, jako jsou Sigmund Freud či Emil Kraepelin. Než se však psychiatrie stala univerzitní disciplínou a získala podobu vědy, jak ji známe dnes, prošla dlouhým obdobím hledání, experimentů i institucionálních proměn. Právě do této málo známé fáze vývoje, kdy se rodily první instituce určené pro péči o duševně nemocné a kdy se teprve utvářely základy moderní psychiatrie, se vrací tato kniha.
Publikace přináší první komplexní zpracování počátků psychiatrické péče v českých zemích mezi koncem 18. a 80. lety 19. století. Sleduje vznik a proměny raných „blázinců“, jejich organizaci, pacienty i lékaře, kteří stáli u zrodu nového oboru. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje pražskému zemskému ústavu, jeho filiálkám v Čechách i prvním moravským zařízením, stejně jako širším souvislostem vývoje psychiatrie v rámci habsburské monarchie a střední Evropy.
Kniha zasazuje dějiny rané psychiatrie do širších kulturních, sociálních a politických souvislostí. Ukazuje, jak se proměňovalo chápání duševní nemoci, jak vznikaly první klasifikace psychických poruch a jak se formoval nový odborný jazyk i instituce, které měly „šílenství“ diagnostikovat, léčit a zároveň kontrolovat. Na základě rozsáhlého archivního výzkumu tak přináší nový pohled na období, kdy se v českých zemích rodily základy moderní psychiatrické péče.
The Four Heavens
From the world-leading expert on the Maya, a monumental history of a flourishing civilization across three millenniaThe Four Heavens brings to life the cultural and visual splendor of the ancient Maya, drawing on the oldest indigenous texts of the Americas and the latest archaeological discoveries to present an entirely new history of this spectacular civilization. Renowned historian and archaeologist David Stuart, who has made groundbreaking contributions to the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics, shows how there was no single rise and fall of the Maya but a series of births and collapses over a breathtaking span of nearly three millennia. Maya history was seemingly lost forever when the first Europeans encountered the great ruins of ancient cities in what is today Mexico and Central America. Today, with the recent decipherment of their ancient writings, the story of the Maya can now be told from their perspective. Stuart traces the rapid emergence of permanent settlements in the rainforest, which gave rise to monumental architecture and a flourishing urbanism and ushered in the Classic period of Maya civilization beginning in the mid-second century CE. He reveals a world of majestic royal courts tightly bound together by marriages, shifting alliances, and warfare, much of it driven by the ambitions of two major dynasties, the Kanuls and Mutuls. Stuart describes how the long-standing rivalry between these two great houses shaped the fates of the surrounding kingdoms and may have set the stage for “the Great Rupture” of the ninth century, when the royal courts buckled under the weight of internal strife, social unrest, and environmental crisis, transforming Maya civilization yet again. With stunning illustrations, including many of Stuart’s own drawings and images, The Four Heavens is a work of momentous historical sweep, one that paints an unforgettable portrait of the Maya and the richly complex social, political, and cosmological worlds in which they lived.

Fables & Lies
WWII Berlin. Freyja Bremer, a patriotic museum assistant, marries Kaspar Voigt, an ambitious SS scholar, to protect her father. Yet she is unaware her husband is instrumental in Himmler’s twisted quest for Aryan supremacy. As she strives to safeguard the priceless Priam’s Treasure from air raids, Freyja falls in love with Darien Lessing, an archaeologist who exposes the moral decay beneath the Regime’s myths. Her awakening drives her into perilous resistance – aiding a Jewish doctor and his wife, Darien’s sister – while uncovering Kaspar’s role in the SS’s darkest programmes, which subvert history to justify invasion, abduction and murder. As Berlin collapses into chaos and bloodshed, Freyja, caught between duty, deception and desire, must risk everything to preserve truth in a world built on lies. A heartbreaking yet triumphant love story, Fables & Lies shines light on lesser-known aspects of the Nazi Regime. It gives voice to the complex moral struggles of German women, the forgotten resistance of Gentiles married to Jews, the dangers of contested history, the evils of Himmler’s racial studies programme and the unsung bravery of German museum curators who saved their nation’s treasures.

Back in Cedarloch to settle the estate, Isabelle revisits her childhood home. A familiar dread permeates the surrounding woods. And when autopsy reports cast new suspicions, Isabelle unearths much more than just terrifying memories. With help from her ex, Isabelle frantically digs for answers. What really happened the night of the fire? How did her mother die? And are the two somehow connected? What they find could poison long-held memories—and incinerate everything she thought to be true.
The Minor Arcana of the Tarot
Unlock the esoteric wisdom and hidden symbolism in the four suits of the Tarot’s Minor Arcana: Wands, Cups, Swords and PentaclesThis revolutionary guide offers a fascinating and structured exploration of the second half of the Tarot, which is often neglected in Western occult studies, revealing rich esoteric and philosophic significance. Unlike the more widely studied Major Arcana (discussed in Mebes’ The Encyclopaedia of Occultism), the Minor Arcana – comprising the four suits of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles – are often dismissed as mundane or purely practical. In The Minor Arcana of the Tarot, however, Mebes elevates them to a level of spiritual instruction, interpreting them as central forces in mystic study, rooting his teachings in Hermetic, Kabbalistic, and mystical Christian traditions. His systematic approach guides the reader clearly through each card of the four suits, including the court cards, encouraging meditative engagement with the cards, and emphasising their place in the wider Western esoteric tradition. Yury Pankratov’s clear and accessible translation from the original Russian is a must-read for any serious student or practitioner of the occult.

At thirty-eight, Alva has only recently escaped from an abusive relationship, and is desperate to have a baby of her own, knowing her biological clock is ticking. Meanwhile, soon to be seventy-year-old Aedmar is struggling to balance the needs of her husband, who has Alzheimer's, and her foster daughter's determination to find her birth family. As the three women get to know one another, their lives become increasingly interconnected, and they come to realise that no matter what life throws at them, the enduring power of female friendship will see them through.

The Winchester Constitutional Contribution 1070–1346
First among equals before the Norman Conquest, the ancient See of Winchester was soon overtaken by Canterbury, York and London following the defeat of the Anglo-Saxons at Hastings. Despite this, it retained its wealth and prestige through its geographical position and the bishop’s unrivalled proximity to kings at Westminster and archbishops at Lambeth – thanks to the diocese’s hold on the Thames’ south bank and its base at Southwark. This helped ensure that successive bishops were drawn from among the finest medieval administrators. Frequently serving as Chancellors or Treasurers of England, they had immense opportunity to influence the development of early English government. They played key roles in shaping an effective legal and financial system, in securing Magna Carta and in promoting an embryonic Parliament. A bishop of Winchester was present at most, if not all, major events under the Norman and early Plantagenet monarchs. The Winchester bishop’s removal of the hapless Edward II paved the way for the long and illustrious reign of his son, Edward III.
Monumental Lies
How the past is memorialized can have a dangerous influence on the future. Monumental Lies exposes the truths buried at contested heritage sites and demands that we safeguard the material evidence of history from both malign defenders and over-enthusiastic erasure. Robert Bevan challenges us to rethink our relationship with our contested spaces, from colonial statues and the physical legacy of fascism, to fake post-conflict reconstructions and ethno-nationalist narratives about beauty and tradition. He questions symbolic power and symbolic changes and explains why wording on a plaque is never a substitute for tackling problem monuments through artistic transformations at scale.

Neboť ten čas je blízko
Tento slogan najdeme na billboardech i ve sci-fi filmech. Podtrhuje nervózní fascinaci naší společnosti budoucností. Konec světa je děsivá vyhlídka, ať už ho má mít na svědomí obrovský asteroid, celosvětová epidemie, nebo jiná globální katastrofa. Děsivá je zvlášť pro ty, kdo nevědí, jak to bude doopravdy.
Pro křesťany však konec světa nemá být děsivý. Můžeme se na něj naopak těšit. Proč? Bůh nám řekl, jak svět skončí. A ujišťuje nás, že konec tohoto věku bude počátkem nového, úžasného, v němž budeme sloužit Pánu a uctívat ho s bezhříšnou dokonalostí. Naše věčná naděje jako věřících je těsně spjata s koncem tohoto světa.
To vše je vyloženo v knize Zjevení. Zjevení je inspirované Boží slovo, ale je to také jediná novozákonní kniha, která slibuje duchovní požehnání těm, kdo studují její poselství a uplatňují ho v praxi. Je tedy nezbytnou součástí duchovního života každého křesťana. Ti, kdo Zjevení ignorují, se připravují o bohatý poklad Boží pravdy a zaslíbených požehnání, která nám její porozumění přináší. John MacArthur vysvětluje knihu Zjevení věroučně přesně a zároveň prakticky.
