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.
Modlitby nad písmem
Nemáte někdy pocit, že v modlitbě neustále opakujete to samé? Utíkají vám myšlenky, nebo dokonce bojujete s pocitem nudy? Nebojte se, nejste sami.
Don Whitney v knize Modlitby nad Písmem ukazuje, že se jedná o běžný problém, který však má snadné, trvalé a především biblické řešení. Na několika málo stránkách vysvětluje, jak při modlitbě používat Písmo, tak aby se stalo inspirací pro vaše modlitby a tím i posilou pro vaši duši. Přidejte se k němu a zažijte živé společenství s Bohem a opravdové potěšení z každého rozhovoru s ním.
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.

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.

Songs of Expectation
This novel is inspired by a true story. London, 1881, and another party of child migrants sets sail for Canada, leaving behind all they know in search of a new life. Taken from the slums and workhouses of Britain, they are set to work as labourers and servants, building a nation in a foreign land. Among them is Mary Oliver, desperate to fulfil a promise she made to her dying father; Arthur Dilkes, to whom emigration is just another adventure; Sam Barney, who longs for a new family to replace the one he has lost; Margaret Walsh, who cannot forget the father she has left behind; and Lily, who does not even have a surname to call her own. All are unprepared for the prejudice and hostility they will face, and the obstacles they must overcome. All struggle to escape their pasts. Presiding over them and countless others is Alice Hamilton, obsessed with making her mark in a man’s world, whose mission to ‘save’ these children is called into question by a series of tragic events. A story of heartbreak and courage, Songs of Expectation shines a light on a shameful chapter in British history.
Nová cesta kocourka Chloupka
Je parné léto a Chloupek dostal zásadní úkol: donést svému dědečkovi speciální šroubky, které nutně potřebuje. Obstojí kocourek při této důležité pochůzce?
Nezačne to zrovna nejlíp: mapu, podle které putuje, mu maminka naškrábala dost lajdácky, takže se v ní nevyzná, v cestě mu stojí veliká řeka, přes niž se musí nějak dostat — a to celé je jen začátek dalších trablů. Chloupek je naštěstí nejen roztomilý, ale i pohotový a upřímný a díky tomu si všude dokáže získat přátele. S kamarády se totiž dá zvládnout leccos, i to, co zpočátku vypadá úplně nemožně. Stačí neztrácet naději a pozorně se dívat kolem sebe. V tom je nejen krásné poselství, ale i autorčin osobní životní postoj.
Jemně kolorované perokresby v sobě nezapřou asijský původ a autorčin vybraný smysl pro estetiku. V mnohém však připomínají i srdeční tituly našeho dětství. Je to zkrátka radostné knižní setkání pro děti i dospělé, kteří milují vytříbený knižní design.
První knížka o kocourku Chloupkovi získala na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni v roce 2024 zvláštní uznání v kategorii debut.
Pro děti od tří let.
This Is No Game
Horse races. Slam dunks. The ground game. Sports metaphors are ubiquitous in American politics. In this book, Benjamin Darr catalogs and critiques the various ways that sports shape our popular perceptions of politics and elections, leading to misunderstandings, misconceptions, and mistakes in our expectations for democracy and how it should function. Seeing politics as a sport ultimately generates a warped conception of democracy which overlooks the people and glorifies elites. This happens via two broad paths. First, the role of the citizen is replaced by the fan, whose job is not to act in the common good, or even in on? own interests, but to cheer from the stands for on? favorite elite team. A second danger arises from an excessive focus on the strategy of the game of politics. This not only provides politicians with cover for broken promise? ut also points us to technical experts who tell us exactly how we should play the game, leading us toward micromanaged technocracy rather than democratic accountability. In these ways, thinking of politics as a sport often points us away from the ideals of democracy and instead toward the optimization of elite power.
