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.
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.
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.

Plays Well with Others
Dating lessons from my American football-playing best friend? Sign me up!
At the glittery break-up party she throws for herself, Rachel Dumont envisions lifting a glass to celebrate being free and single again. What she actually does: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to her best guy friend that she'd really like to get back on the horse. She doesn't expect Carter Hendrix's answer to be to volunteer himself.
With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body, it'd be no hardship for Rachel to say yes, though she certainly doesn't want him to feel obligated to, um, service her just because her failed, loveless marriage was an s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident professional American football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, Rachel and Carter make a deal to help each other out.
Pretty soon, the public how-to-date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And Rachel's a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing.
Can Rachel and Carter's friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since she's suddenly longing for her best friend, and there's nothing fake about her feelings…
Fast Lane
He's the campus bad boy.
She's his neighbour's ex.
Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea?
Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached.
So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids - yet somehow impossible to ignore.
That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls.
Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by.
Pick this up if you love: opposites attract, frenemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, forced promixity, found family.
Polis
A definitive new history of the origins, evolution, and scope of the ancient Greek city-stateThe Greek polis, or city-state, was a resilient and adaptable political institution founded on the principles of citizenship, freedom, and equality. Emerging around 650 BCE and enduring to 350 CE, it offered a means for collaboration among fellow city-states and social bargaining between a community and its elites—but at what cost? Polis proposes a panoramic account of the ancient Greek city-state, its diverse forms, and enduring characteristics over the span of a millennium. In this landmark book, John Ma provides a new history of the polis, charting its spread and development into a common denominator for hundreds of communities from the Black Sea to North Africa and from the Near East to Italy. He explores its remarkable achievements as a political form offering community, autonomy, prosperity, public goods, and spaces of social justice for its members. He also reminds us that behind the successes of civic ideology and institutions lie entanglements with domination, empire, and enslavement. Ma’s sweeping and multifaceted narrative draws widely on a rich store of historical evidence while weighing in on lively scholarly debates and offering new readings of Aristotle as the great theoretician of the polis. A monumental work of scholarship, Polis transforms our understanding of antiquity while challenging us to grapple with the moral legacy of an idea whose very success centered on the inclusion of some and the exclusion of others.

Taken from the slums and workhouses of Britain, they are set to work as labourers and servants, building a nation in a foreign land.

A story of heartbreak and courage, Songs of Expectation shines a light on a shameful chapter in British history.

Odvážní ve víře
Bible nám stále říká, že tento svět není naším domovem. Dlouhou dobu se však zdálo, že by jím být mohl. Naše kultura se ale mění – a začínáme si ve vlastní zemi připadat jako cizinci. Jsme v pokušení hněvat se, sklopit hlavu nebo to prostě vzdát.
Není to však poprvé, kdy Boží lid musí přijít na to, jak žít s důvěrou a vírou v prostředí, které se staví proti Božím cestám a proti Božímu slovu. Už jsme to dokázali dříve a můžeme to dokázat i dnes.
Alistair Begg nás se svou charakteristickou jasností, vhledem a vřelostí uvádí do doby proroka Daniela. Nevyzývá nás k tomu, abychom byli jako Daniel, ale spíše abychom důvěřovali Danielovu Bohu. Víme, že jsme spaseni vírou. Teď je čas naučit se být odvážní ve víře.
Alistair Begg je hlavním pastorem v Parkside Church v Clevelandu ve státě Ohio a učitelem Bible ve službě rozhlasového a on-line vysílání Truth For Life.
