If We Tolerate This
The far right is now mainstream in British politics. If We Tolerate This is a short, gripping and essential book on how we got here, and what we can do about it. In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right rally in Britain’s history, after a summer of flag-waving protests. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers. Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed, yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it. In this urgent and riveting book, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it’s too late. Praise for Daniel Trilling:'Racism and the rise of the far right in Britain are often discussed but rarely understood. Daniel Trilling is an exception . . . his voice must be heard' – Owen Jones, author of Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class'Combining forensic enquiry with moral passion, Daniel Trilling has emerged as one of our most intrepid and resourceful reporters' – Pankaj Mishra, Windham-Campbell Prize-winning author of The World After Gaza
Beneath the Surface
'Filled with grit, joy, laughter and sacrifice' Irish Times'A beautiful and compelling memoir ... a manual for life' Ryan Tubridy 'This book provides unique insights into the life and work of one of Ireland's most influential doctors' SR STAN KENNEDYDR HARRY BARRY's life and career has been shaped by defining events: a solitary childhood with chronic illness, a traumatic experience in school, and family tragedies that set him on a course of dedicating his life to medicine and healing. Beneath the Surface tells that remarkable story. From the halls of University College Dublin in the 1970s, to a remote hospital in Tanzania where he would meet someone who was to have a transformative effect on his approach to health, and on through decades on the front line of Irish general practice, culminating in a life-altering realisation that would see him change the course of his career. This thought-provoking and inspiring memoir shows us how, by embracing compassion and love, we can transform not only our own lives but the world around us.

Věda o pomstě
Pomsta – skrytá závislost, která v současnosti sužuje lidstvo. Vědci identifikovali odvetu v reakci na skutečné i domnělé křivdy jako hlavní příčinu většiny forem lidské agrese a násilí. Od zlých tweetů po zuřivost na silnicích, vraždy a sebevraždy a ozbrojené povstání se pachatelé téměř vždy vidí jako oběti hledající spravedlnost. Po pomstě toužíme, pokud nám někdo tělesně nebo citově ublíží. A to představuje čím dál větší problém v době vlivných sociálních sítí, které umožňují snadno a bleskově urazit a pobouřit miliony lidí naráz, což má za následek, že tyto miliony lidí zatouží v jednu chvíli po pomstě za stejnou věc. Tato kniha zevrubně zkoumá překvapivé poznatky nové neurovědy o povaze pomsty, pomáhající pochopit zdánlivě nesmyslnou krutost a násilí, jež na sobě lidé páchají. Především se ale zaměřuje na to, jak může pochopení pomsty coby návykového procesu pomoct jednotlivcům i skupinám ovládnout touhu ublížit lidem, kteří ublížili nám, a chránit sebe i blízké před možnou újmou.

Prokletí lesa Grimm
Prokletí lesa Grimm je druhý díl duologie odkrývající záhady tajemného lesa Grimm. Obyvatele Grimmské Doliny sužuje strašná kletba, kterou na ně uvrhl čarovný les poté, co byla jeho magie zneužita k vraždě místního kováře. Dokud se hlavní hrdince Claře nepodaří vypátrat vraha, les ve své zlobě nepoleví. Po událostech z prvního dílu – částečném zlomení kletby – je dlouhé utrpení přerušeno krátkým obdobím naděje. Tu však velmi rychle vystřídá o to větší zklamání, když les udeří znovu a silněji. Clara s Axelem, svým milým, se tedy opět vydávají do lesa Grimm, aby rozluštili všechny záhady a zároveň se pokusili zachránit co nejvíce obyvatel vesničky, které les vtáhl a jejichž osudy proměnil v pokřivené a vražedné verze pohádek bratří Grimmů. Při čtení tak na vás čeká pořádná dávka napětí, trocha hororové atmosféry a nechybí ani romantická linka.
Domov zlatem spravený
Středoškolačka Mao žije se svou babičkou Čie, která se věnuje tradiční japonské technice kincugi – umění opravovat rozbité nádoby pomocí zlata tak, aby se staré praskliny staly jejich ozdobou.
Mao se musí brzy rozhodnout, jakým směrem se vydá, ale zatím ji svírá nejistota. Když jednoho dne v babiččině zásuvce objeví lakovanou jehlici do vlasů, spustí tím vlnu vzpomínek, která je obě zavede na cestu do minulosti. Staré křivdy, nevyřčená tajemství i slova, která už nelze vzít zpět, rozlámala lidská srdce.
A přesto, stejně jako při opravě prasklého nádobí zlatem, i z rozbitých duší může znovu vzniknout krása a naděje.

Viktimologie pro forenzní praxi, 2. rozšířené vydání
Riziko, že se staneme obětí trestného činu, se týká nás všech. V roli oběti reagujeme různě, i banální delikt může člověka emocionálně poškodit. Navíc zločin tak či onak poznamenává nejen přímou oběť, ale také její blízké. Pachatel tím, co udělal, změní „jednou ranou“ kvalitu života hned několika lidem.
Publikace seznamuje se základními okruhy viktimologie (primární a sekundární viktimizace, mýty o obětech, průběhy a následky viktimizace). Nabízí prakticky využitelné poznatky ze současné viktimologie např. proč máme tendenci očerňovat oběť, jak porozumět zdánlivě nelogickému chování oběti v průběhu a po činu, proč některé oběti mlčí anebo oznamují trestný čin opožděně. Věnuje se také otázce, jak posuzovat potřeby obětí a reagovat na ně.
V aktualizovaném a rozšířeném vydání, které je založeno na aktuální legislativě, čtenář najde novou kapitolu o psychologii oběti a také celou novou část týkající se zvláště zranitelných obětí (oběti domácího násilí, znásilnění, digitálního násilí) a jednání s oběťmi trestných činů.

Cromwell Against the Scots
Although also known as the Third English Civil War, the author makes it clear that this was the last war between the Scots and English as separate states. He narrates in detail the the events following the exiled King Charles II’s landing in Scotland and his alliance with the Scots Covenanters, erstwhile allies of the English Parliamentarians. Cromwell’s preemptive invasion of Scotland led to the Battle of Dunbar, a crushing defeat for the Scots under David Leslie, though this only unified the Scottish cause and led to the levying of the Army of the Kingdom under Charles II himself. Charles II led a desperate counter-invasion over the border, hoping to raise a royalist rebellion and forcing Cromwell to follow him, though he left Monck to complete the pacification of Scotland. Cromwell caught up with Charles II at Worcester, where the Scots/Royalist army was decisively defeated and destroyed, thousands of the prisoners being sold into slavery in the West Indies and the American colonies. This revised and updated edition contains an expanded chapter on the aftermath of the war and the fate of the POWs, drawing on major new archaeological evidence, as well as an expanded Conclusion.
Russia and Iran
Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has cast a spotlight on Russia’s burgeoning partnership with Iran. Moscow looked to Tehran for drones and ammunition to fuel its so-called ‘special military operation’, and Iran’s support for Russia’s war reflected a decade-long strengthening of Russo-Iranian ties, beginning with the 2011 outbreak of the Syrian Civil War. Despite a relationship historically marred by mistrust and unmet expectations, the two regimes have worked together to promote their common interests in Syria, where battlefield coordination soon developed into much deeper political alignment. Drawing on extensive Russian and Persian primary sources, and interviews with elites from both countries, Nicole Grajewski uncovers the drivers of ever-closer cooperation between the Kremlin and the Islamic Republic. Detailing the internal structures, shared anxieties and broader ambitions underpinning this alignment, she explores the genesis of Russia and Iran''s mutual antagonism towards the Western-led global order; the impact of deep-seated leadership concerns over regime security and domestic protests; and the future trajectory of the partnership within the larger world order. Examining both military dynamics and economic endeavours, as well as elaborate sanctions evasion schemes and collaboration within international organisations, this is the definitive account of contemporary Russia-Iran relations.

Fatal Flights of the Rich and Famous
Everyone loves adventure, mystery and the notion of celebrity and this book combines all of these with new unpublished material, supported by high quality previously unpublished images. Aviation history is full of evocative stories about the evolution of aeroplanes; flying and the perils of air travel and there are many ways of looking at these. The theme of this book is to recall some of those perils through the eyes of twenty-three internationally-famous celebrity air travellers between 1919 and 2020. What brings them all together here is that, as well as presenting the personalities, the stories showcase aeroplanes from the golden age of biplanes to helicopters, biz-jets and airliners. They also illustrate the fallibility of people and technology, while giving a flavour of the social progress of air transport over the past 100 years. Sadly, the climax of these particular stories culminates in air crashes that took the lives of the celebrities involved. While the final selection of the stars might be open to debate, the breadth of celebrity representation in these stories is very wide, being drawn from the fields of aeronautics; cinema; exploration; fashion; music; politics and sport. Mysteries and myths have grown up around some of these incidents and while some of these can be debunked, others will pose unanswered questions. All, though, will demonstrate that Fame and Fortune alone are no protection from Fate.
The Hunt for Anna Pavlovna’s Stolen Jewels
On the night of 25 September 1829, the jewels of the Princess of Orange disappeared from her palace in Brussels. Suspicion quickly fell on her husband, Prince Willem of Orange, a Waterloo veteran known to be deeply in debt. But when the police failed to find any witnesses or leads, the investigation ground to a halt. In 1831, Anna Pavlovna’s jewels surfaced in New York in the hands of a former Napoleonic deserter named Constant Polari. Dutch officials scrambled to reclaim the jewels and extradite Polari, hoping a public trial would clear their prince’s name. But President Andrew Jackson’s customs collector preferred to confiscate the jewels, sell them, and pocket his share of the proceeds. When Polari’s lover dug up a buried portion of the gems and sailed for Europe, it triggered a race across the Atlantic, a kidnapping from Bellevue prison, and a sensational trial with a last-minute twist. True crime meets royal history in this long-forgotten caper that pitted the old world’s diplomacy against the new world’s self-determinism. Drawing on previously neglected case documents and sources in five languages, the tale of Anna Pavlovna’s stolen jewels unfolds against a backdrop of war, revolution, corruption, and betrayal.
