The Penguin Book of Cults
A chilling documentary history of the most notorious cults of the past two thousand years, from the ancient Roman ritual sacrifices that inspired The Wicker Man all the way up to Heaven?s GateA Penguin ClassicHypnotism. Human sacrifice. Sexual perversion. Mass suicide. For millennia, people have been enthralled by graphic descriptions of terrible rites performed by the religious other. The Penguin Book of Cults compiles the most notorious and uncanny of these true accounts: salacious stories of frenzied worship by the cult of Dionysus; human sacrifices burned alive in giant wooden effigies, the inspiration for the (cult) classic movie The Wicker Man; moral panics over the hypnotic powers of yoga; early horror stories of abuse in the Mormon Church; the massacre at Jonestown, which left hundreds of bodies strewn across a foreign jungle; a church that worshipped a 1950s salesman named Bob; the bloody FBI siege of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas; and the mass suicide of Heaven?s Gate. Both terrible and tragic, this illuminating history of cults exposes the seductive power with which new religious movements have ensnared their followers and beguiled outsiders for generations.

Rowntree's – The Early History
The Rowntree family, especially Henry and the younger Joseph Rowntree are, along with the Fry’s, Cadbury’s, Mars and Terry’s, synonymous with the birth and growth of the chocolate industry in Britain. Between them, they were the chocolate industry in Britain. This book charts the fascinating story behind the birth and development of the chocolate empire that was Rowntrees. Background information to this astonishing business comes by way of chapters on the early history of the Rowntrees, contemporary York, the relationship between Quakers and chocolate, and the Tuke family – without whom there would have been no Rowntrees, and no Kit Kats. Henry, it is usually forgotten, was the founder of Rowntree’s – he made the momentous decision to sign the deal with the Tukes and we join him in those very early days of the fledgling company and watch how he helped it through some very dark, and sometimes humorous, times in what was then a very shambolic set up – cash strapped and making it up as the company lurched from crisis to crisis. Joseph, his elder brother, it was, who became the driving force to eventual global success, mixing his hectic business life with acts of compassion and a benevolent management model, all of which paved the way for decent wages, pensions, insurance and mutual respect in the workplace. Charity work extended beyond the factories to lift workers and others out of the slums of York to a life in a healthy model village, to provide a good social life, an extensive park, swimming pool and education for children and adults. More context is given with chapters on Joseph’s relentless industrial espionage, the advancements in chocolate production and 20th century rivals in the domestic and export markets, and mergers and acquisitions. Rowntree’s role in the two world wars is also covered along with the struggle Joseph Rowntree had accepting the importance of advertising. Altogether this book gives two fascinating biographies of two exceptional and driven brothers who came together to form one of our greatest companies - producing some of our best loved confectionery products.

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.

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.
