The Scourge of War
A definitive biography that sheds light on the life and times of one of the Civil War's most important generals. William Tecumseh Sherman, a West Point graduate and veteran of the Seminole War, became one of the best-known generals in the Civil War. His March to the Sea, which resulted in a devastated swath of the South from Atlanta to Savannah, cemented his place in history as the pioneer of total war. In The Scourge of War, preeminent military historian Brian Holden Reid offers a deeply researched life and times account of Sherman. By examining his childhood and education, his business ventures in California, his antebellum leadership of a military college in Louisiana, and numerous career false starts, Holden Reid shows how unlikely his exceptional Civil War career would seem. He also demonstrates how crucial his family was to his professional path, particularly his wife's intervention during the war. He analyzes Sherman's development as a battlefield commander and especially his crucial friendships with Henry W. Halleck and Ulysses S. Grant. In doing so, he details how Sherman overcame both his weaknesses as a leader and severe depression to mature as a military strategist. Central chapters narrate closely Sherman's battlefield career and the gradual lifting of his pessimism that the Union would be defeated. After the war, Sherman became a popular figure in the North and the founder of the school for officers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, known as the "intellectual center of the army." Holden Reid argues that Sherman was not hostile to the South throughout his life and only in later years gained a reputation as a villain who practiced barbaric destruction, particularly as the neo-Confederate Lost Cause grew and he published one of the first personal accounts of the war.
Přítel
Nový psychologický thriller od bestsellerové autorky Pomocnice.
Sydney Shawová měla vždycky příšernou smůlu na muže. Její nový přítel je ale naprosto dokonalý: okouzlující pohledný lékař v místní nemocnici. Sydney je z něj úplně paf. Mezitím policie řeší brutální vraždu mladé ženy a ukáže se, že jde o jedno z celé série úmrtí. Vrah se svými oběťmi zřejmě chodí na rande, než je zabije. Sydney by se měla cítit v bezpečí. Koneckonců chodí s mužem svých snů. Nemůže se však zbavit podezření, že její přítel možná není tak dokonalý, jak se zdá. Někdo totiž sleduje každý její krok, a pokud se Sydney nedozví pravdu, stane se další obětí…
Father Material
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes...what was that, exactly?
Luc and Oliver have been through it all: fake dating to save Luc's career, I-guess-this-is-actually-for-real dating when all of that blew up spectacularly, (briefly) breaking up over irreconcilable differences, (definitively) getting back together over perfectly reconcilable everything else, (almost) getting married, (finally) moving in together, and ultimately celebrating years of perfect domestic bliss.
But as all their very grown-up-now friends begin reaching new life milestones, advancing careers and having babies, Luc and Oliver decide it's time to open their hearts and lives to something new: a tiny, squirming, adorable bundle of furry joy named Spud.
And maybe now that hearts-and-lives are already open, there's room for someone else. Something more. Something that may require them to find in themselves a little father material.

The Last Time We Drowned
Six influencers. One luxury yacht. Nowhere to hide.
Charlie Engels is broke and desperate when her bookstagram account lands her the offer of a lifetime: join Empress, a state-of-the-art yacht houseboat off the Florida Keys turned influencer paradise. Lucrative brand deals and a ready-made "sisterhood" of internet stars-it may not be Charlie's dream job, but she knows she'd be a fool to turn it down.
It's also the perfect distraction; Charlie's eager to outrun her past and a staggering betrayal by her former best friend. Now, aboard Empress, Charlie is surrounded by dazzling women with their own baggage: the magnetic but ruthless leader, the spiraling fashion queen, the inseparable twins, the peacemaker with cracks in her confidence, and the memory of the influencer who Charlie is replacing. The same influencer who Charlie keeps seeing on board, even though the others insist she quit.
But when a hurricane traps the group at sea with their billionaire boss, the dream turns claustrophobic. Communications cut. Supplies dwindling. Old betrayals bubbling to the surface. Then the first body drops.
As paranoia mounts and alliances splinter, Charlie realizes the real danger isn't the storm outside-it's the deadly games being played below deck. And if she can't outwit a killer, her past won't be the only ghost that comes back to drown her.
From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes THE LAST TIME WE DROWNED, a razor-sharp, atmospheric, and impossible to put down locked-room psychological thriller where luxury curdles into terror and survival comes at the highest price.
Historická detektivka 3
Dějiny nejsou jen sledem velkých okamžiků – politických dohod a dynastických svazků, stěhování celých národů, vítězných bitev i zdrcujících porážek. Tvoří je také mnohem drobnější příběhy: zločiny, spory a skandály, jež se občas propíšou do „velkých“ dějin, jindy však zůstanou ukryty v zaprášených stránkách místních kronik nebo soudních registrů, zapomenuty všemi kromě těch, kterých se bezprostředně dotkly.
Na oba tyto světy jsme se zaměřili ve třetím díle naší „kriminální” série. Potkáte zde vzbouřené sedláky i zrádné rychtáře, nešťastné šlechtičny i bezohlednou vrchnost, zlodějíčky i falzifikátory. Nahlédnete do zákulisí státního bankrotu, který ochudil tisíce lidí, i do záhadného zmizení podnikatele v předvečer druhé světové války. Každý z příběhů je jiný – a přesto je všechny spojuje jedna věc: jsou skutečné.
Nehledejte na těchto stránkách falešnou senzaci ani lacinou dramatizaci. To, co zde najdete, je syrová realita českých dějin – taková, jaká byla, bez příkras i bez zbytečného moralizování. Za každým článkem stojí odborní autoři našich historických magazínů Tajemství české minulosti a Živá historie.
Vydejte se s námi na cestu, která je stejnou měrou zábavná i poučná, napínavá i překvapivá. Cestu za poznáním událostí, jež – ať velké nebo zdánlivě malé – spoluvytvářely to, čemu říkáme české dějiny.

Neodkladné opatrenia v rodinnom práve - Judikatúra
Publikácia si kladie za cieľ poskytnúť ucelený prehľad judikatúry k mimoriadne citlivej, dynamickej a procesne náročnej agende neodkladných opatrení v rodinnom práve. Obsahuje 127 redakčne upravených rozhodnutí reprezentujúcich aktuálnu rozhodovaciu prax súdov v oblasti rodinných či partnerských situácií, ktoré si spravidla vyžadujú bezodkladné právne riešenie.
Judikáty sú rozčlenené do ôsmich tematických kapitol a ponúkajú odpovede napríklad na otázky týkajúce sa:
• nariaďovania neodkladných opatrení vo veciach starostlivosti a úpravy styku: do akej miery a za akých podmienok súdy pristupujú k regulácii styku rodičov a detí aj formou neodkladného opatrenia;
• nariadenia platenia dočasného výživného: akú výšku výživného možno očakávať, ak má byť určené v nevyhnutnej miere ešte pred rozhodnutím vo veci samej;
• okamžitej ochrany maloletých a riešenia krízových situácií v rodine: ako možno riešiť nesúhlas rodiča s konvenčnou liečbou ťažko chorého dieťaťa a aké sú podmienky na zabránenie vstupu násilného rodiča či partnera do spoločnej domácnosti alebo úplného zákazu kontaktu či priblíženia sa agresora k obeti psychického a fyzického násilia;
• riešenia nezhôd rodičov pri výkone rodičovských práv: za akých okolností súd nahrádza súhlas druhého rodiča v otázkach týkajúcich sa dieťaťa (napríklad v súvislosti so vzdelávaním, zápisom do konkrétnej školy či absolvovaním rôznych záujmových aktivít) v režime neodkladného opatrenia a tiež, ako súdy vyhodnocujú zverejňovanie fotografií a videí maloletých detí na sociálnych sieťach;
• procesnoprávnych osobitostí: aké sú limity dokazovania v konaní o neodkladnom opatrení a aké sú špecifiká výkonu rozhodnutia, ktorým bolo nariadené neodkladné opatrenie vo veciach maloletých.
Pre koho je publikácia určená?

3. Pracovníkom orgánov SPODaSK (kolíznym opatrovníkom) poskytne hlbšie porozumenie toho, ako súdy vyhodnocujú ich správy a vyjadrenia.
4. Mediátorom uľahčí orientáciu v právnych mantineloch, v ktorých sa pohybujú práva a povinnosti rodičov v čase akútneho konfliktu.

Shattered Gods
She was Olympus's Queen. Its sacrifice. Its saviour. Its destruction.
Long ago, Circe was Hermes' entire heart. The two women lived on the outskirts of Olympian society, content with a quiet life away from the spotlight. Then Circe caught the eye of Zeus…and was forced into a marriage that would take her freedom, her future, and in the end, her life. In the wake of the tragedy, gossip swirled about the woman Zeus married and (allegedly) murdered…but in time, everyone forgot about beautiful, tragic Circe.
Everyone but Hermes, who vowed on that day to bring Olympus to its knees.
Now, fifteen years later, a new Zeus rules the city, a new Hades protects his people, a new hope dawns…and Hermes has begun to think there may be things about Olympus worth saving. With Atalanta by her side-and slowly rebuilding her heart-Hermes may finally be ready to set aside her fury and seek the city's rebirth instead of its total annihilation. But there is a beautiful devil on Hermes' other shoulder: a devil who rose, blood-soaked, from where Zeus left her for dead years ago. A devil who has waited all this time to have her revenge.
And no matter their past, no matter the desperate love they once shared, no matter the complicated triad forming between the three women, Circe will not rest until all of Olympus lays shattered at her feet…and the gods help anyone who gets in her way.
Katee Robert breathes new life into Greek mythology's beloved characters Circe, Hermes and Atalanta, with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance retelling that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.
Túrapara
Are Kalvo képeslapra illő hegyek között nőtt fel Nyugat-Norvégiában, mégsem lett a természet szerelmese. Beköltözött a fővárosba, és vissza se nézett. Nem is volt ezzel semmi probléma egészen addig, amíg a barátai el nem kezdtek felszívódni… Ugyanis elragadta őket a természet! Jó embereket. Okos embereket. Vicces embereket, akik korábban bármikor szívesen mentek Aréval kocsmázni. Erre most minden hétvégén túrázni meg síelni járnak. Korán kelnek, lefotózzák magukat, amint egy hegy tetején állva az ég felé nyújtják a karjukat, a képet kiteszik a Facebookra vagy az Instára, és ilyeneket írnak mellé (egy csöppnyi irónia nélkül): „A hegyen a csend semmi másra nem hasonlít.”
Kalvo – mivel mindig számol azzal, hogy esetleg ő tévedhet – elhatározza, hogy megfejti, mi olyan nagy pláne a túrázásban. Tényleg érdemes minden más szórakozást feladni és a város meghitt fényeit egy világvégi, nyirkos hüttére cserélni, aminek Szúnyogszállás a neve? Fogja hát magát, vásárol egy rakás nevetségesen drága túracuccot, és elindul a vadonba.
Vajon megadja magát a természet vonzerejének? Vagy inkább megkeresi odakint a régi barátait, hazarángatja őket, aztán együtt elmennek valahová, ahol meleg van, és sört is csapolnak?
A Legyek Ura
Golding a második világháborúban szerzett tapasztalatait felhasználva a tudata, a lelke, a zsigerei mélyén megbújó ősi, vad ösztönökre ráébredő és az atomháború árnyékában élő ember félelmeit jeleníti meg példázatában vagy mítoszregényében: egy hátborzongatóan izgalmas és kegyetlen történetben, melynek hősei tíz-tizenkét éves angol fiúk.
A világban háború dúl, s a fiúk repülőgép-szerencsétlenség következtében egy lakatlan szigetre kerülnek, távol a civilizációtól - amely talán éppen elpusztul -, s megpróbálnak értelmes rendet, társadalmat kialakítani. És őrzik a tüzet, mert ez az egyetlen útja a menekülésnek.
Sokáig kellemes, szinte idilli játéknak tetszik az egész: a jól nevelt angol fiúk ragyogóan megbirkóznak a nehézségekkel, s követik Ralphot, a született vezetőt, aki tüzet gyújt, és expedíciót vezet a sziget felderítésére. Ám az idillben - eleinte szinte észrevétlenül - sokasodnak a bajok: a vezérszerepre pályázó Jack nem hajlandó engedelmeskedni Ralphnak, és a fiúk közül egyre többen állnak mellé, s imádják vele együtt a Legyek Urát.

In Sparta, queens aren't born - they're forged in blood, magic, and betrayal. Gods once ruled the land, until King Menelaus cast them out and crowned himself in their place. When he resurrects the ancient trials meant to choose his queen, Helena becomes her dying village's only hope. Marked by a terrible beauty, she steps forward not for glory - but for survival. Alone in a dangerous court, Helena must decide whom to trust: Achilles, a legendary warrior bound to the throne by blood and oath, or a mysterious prisoner bearing forbidden magic. One guards her cage. The other whispers how to escape it. And one of them is lying. Choosing wrong will cause Sparta not to simply fall, but to kneel. And with the fate of her people resting on Helena's shoulders, she must claim the throne of Sparta - or be destroyed by it. Enter the world of Sparta as you've never experienced it before with the much-anticipated dark romantasy based on the myth of Helen of Troy, from USA Today bestselling author C.R. Jane.

In this inspiring and intimate memoir, Susan Hawkins offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at life with her beloved husband and spiritual teacher, Dr. David R. "Doc" Hawkins. As his closest collaborator, confidante, and constant companion, Susan shares a heartfelt and humorous account of their journey together—at home, on the road, and on the spiritual path they walked side by side. Whether they were hosting seminars, engaging with students, or simply enjoying quiet moments together, Susan was always by David’s side, and he was never on stage without her. Through a rich tapestry of personal stories, insightful reflections, and candid observations, Susan paints a portrait of a man revered by many, yet deeply human and profoundly loving in everyday life. “A lot of people are one way in public and another way at home, but not Dave,” she writes. “He was the same kind, wise, funny, and loving man, whether he was on stage or at home.”With refreshing authenticity and warmth, Susan invites readers into their world—not just the teachings and public appearances, but also the private moments of laughter, learning, and unconditional love. Her storytelling is down-to-earth and full of heart, making this a unique gem in the realm of spiritual literature. Whether you're familiar with Dr. Hawkins' work or discovering it through Susan’s eyes, this book offers a moving tribute to a remarkable partnership and a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love and truth.
