The Interpreter
THE INTERPRETERPulitzer prize-winning author David K. Shipler’s fictionalized story of a Vietnamese interpreter, based on his own experiences as a war correspondent, brings back the tensions within Vietnam during the war, focusing on a local with close ties to American journalists and politicians. The Interpreter is based on the true story of a Vietnamese translator who is wounded—not physically—by a love of country too pure for the contaminated choices that confront him. Dragged by an inner search, he has wandered among the neat categories of allegiance imposed by Vietnam’s lifetime of warfare and foreign occupation. But he fits into none of the available boxes—not Communist, not Government, not pro-American, nor any of the assortment of political dissidents who populate the shadowy warrens of Saigon. He finds no home with either the tortured or the torturers. Instead, he tries to interpret Vietnam through an evolving comradeship with an American correspondent, to distant, weary audiences who barely listen anymore. He commits a futile betrayal against the correspondent’s wife. He harbors a secret. He clings to a simple nobility, he believes, as an authentic Vietnamese of transcendent patriotism, and so he keeps his footing in the whirlwind of panic as Saigon falls. By refusing an offer to escape with his family to the US, he consigns his future to an intricate, stumbling dance with the victorious Communist regime. This man is fictionalized, but he is not alone in the world. His torment is a hidden story not only of Vietnam but of the hundreds like him who have interpreted their war-torn countries for the foreigners who fuel the fighting with weapons and blood.

1996
'Tony Adams calls it a “celebration of recovery.” It’s a monument to candour too. Gruesome memories come with smiles… The fresh detail in his new autobiography, 1996, adds layers that are both harrowing and redemptive as he goes about the work of helping others.' PAUL HAYWARD, The ObserverIt was the summer of Euro 96 and England was in party mood as the nation hosted a major tournament, revelling in watching Gazza and Co reach the semi-finals. For the national team's captain Tony Adams, though, it masked a misery that had been building all year, with his wife leaving and his children being removed from him as a result of his dangerous and damaging drinking. Following Gareth Southgate's crushing penalty miss against Germany, Adams proceeded to embark on a 44-day bender to drown sorrows that learned how to swim and led him into some seamy, sordid situations. Finally, he could take no more and desperation drove him to quit the booze and get help. A year that had begun in dark despair would end in a new lightness of being. In 1996, Adams revisits in candid, graphic detail that year when football came home but England's thirty years of hurt continued. And, as he reaches his 60th birthday, he reflects with trademark honesty and accumulated wisdom on his own remarkable thirty years off hurt.
The Law of Presidential Impeachment
A clear and comprehensive overview of presidential impeachment from a leading expert in the fieldAs a result of Donald Trump's presidency, impeachment was once again thrust into the spotlight of American political discussion. However, its history goes back to the very founding of the nation, when American colonists, remembering their grievances against their former king, entrenched the process in their new Constitution. The Law of Presidential Impeachment breaks down both the law and politics of this process, providing a comprehensive, nonpartisan, and up-to-date explanation of the Constitution's various mechanisms for holding presidents accountable for their misdeeds. Based on a lifetime of scholarly research, as well as unique experience as a witness and consultant in the impeachment trials of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Michael J. Gerhardt's new book takes the reader back to the basics of presidential impeachments. Rather than provide reasons for or against impeaching particular presidents, he explains the law and procedures that govern impeachment, examining a number of significant, yet under-explored, issues and themes. Gerhardt offers new perspectives on the subject, arguing that it cannot be properly understood in a vacuum, but must instead be viewed in the context of its coordination with such other mechanisms as criminal prosecutions, censure, elections, congressional oversight, and the Fourteenth and Twenty-Fifth Amendments. The Law of Presidential Impeachment will be an invaluable, accessible guide for future generations, giving them a succinct yet remarkably nuanced understanding of this core aspect of our executive branch and overarching governmental system.

Hét halálos tövis - Éldekorált kiadás
Aragoa elátkozott királyságában a mágikus képességek büntetése halál.
Ez alól még az elit számára fenntartott Vandenberghe Akadémia tanulói sem kivételek. Amikor Viola Sinclair halálos árnymágiája lelepleződik, a királynő új küldetést ad orgyilkosának, és egy új elátkozott tetoválást: héttövisű rózsát, amelynek tövisei azt a hét napot jelölik, amely alatt végeznie kell Violával. Ha nem teszi, ő maga fog meghalni.
Az orgyilkos Roze Roquelart - királyi herceg, az akadémia beképzelt hallgatója, akit Viola mindenki másnál jobban utál. Roze-nak örvendeznie kellene, hogy végre végezhet a lánnyal, ám fontosabb neki Viola varázsereje, mint a halála. Ezért hajlandó megkímélni az életét, sőt úgy tenni, mintha eljegyezné.
Bár Viola elkerüli az azonnali halált, egyáltalán nem biztos, hogy túléli a Roze által ajánlott alkut. Együtt kell megküzdeniük az elpusztításukra törő erőkkel, feltárniuk a királyság sötét titkait, és számot vetni a köztük kialakuló, lehetetlen vonzalommal. Vajon engednek mélyről feltörő vágyaiknak, még ha ez Aragoa pusztulását és talán mindkettejük halálát is okozza?
Amber Hamilton modern, komor tündérmeséjét lehetetlen letenni.
Summer Official

Alone but far from lonely, she's also quietly assembling a 'coven' of like-minded single women on the sixth floor of the legendary Ansonia building on New York's Upper West Side.
Together, they share groceries, dog walkers - and one dirty little secret: despite their age, they're only just getting started.

Svět katolické víry
O co jde v katolické víře? Je to jen dva tisíce let stará kulturní tradice? Je to úctyhodný, ale přece jen poněkud složitý světonázor? Je to osobní přesvědčení, způsob života a zároveň vztah plný tajemství?
Kniha Roberta Barrona nás zve k objevování víry skrze konkrétní příběhy, životní osudy, klíčové texty evropské kultury, filozofické argumenty, osobní svědectví i obrazy. Nepouští se do zbytečných polemik – spíše pro nás znovu objevuje bohatství katolické tradice a tlumočí ho současným jazykem. Je pevně přesvědčen, že Kristovo vtělení pokračuje dál v tom, co je pravdivé, dobré a krásné.
Autor vychází ze skutečnosti Ježíšova vtělení, života a učení a projde s námi klíčové prvky a základní pojmy katolické víry – zjevení, modlitbu, Ježíše Krista a apoštoly, svátosti, význam Panny Marie a svatých, milost, spásu, podobenství, nebe, očistec i peklo. Píše inspirativně o tom, co se nás opravdu dotýká, a přitom ctí nadčasové pravdy víry. Jeho vyprávění ožívá díky řadě portrétů konkrétních mužů a žen, kteří žili katolickou víru naplno.

Ježíš Kristus, Syn Boží, Spasitel
„Nikajský koncil je milníkem v dějinách církve. Jeho výročí je pro křesťany výzvou, aby se spojili v chvále a díkůvzdání Nejsvětější Trojici, a zvláště Ježíši Kristu, Synu Božímu, který je ‘soupodstatný s Otcem’ a zjevil nám toto tajemství lásky“ (papež František)
V květnu 2025 si katolická církev a celý křesťanský svět připomenuly zahájení nikajského koncilu v roce 325. Koncil zůstal v křesťanském povědomí především prostřednictvím kreda, jež shrnuje, definuje a zvěstuje víru ve spásu skrze Ježíše Krista a v jednoho Boha, Otce, Syna a Ducha svatého. Je důležitý i tím, že na něj byli poprvé pozváni biskupové z celého tehdy známého světa a jeho rozhodnutí měla univerzální platnost. Nikajské kredo vyznává radostnou zvěst o spáse lidských bytostí, kterou uskutečnil Bůh v Ježíši Kristu.
Oslavme nikajský koncil chválou Boží slávy, jež se projevila v nesmírném pokladu víry, kterou kredo vyjadřuje. Nekonečná je krása Boha Otce, který nás zachraňuje. Nezměrné je milosrdenství Ježíše Krista, našeho Spasitele. A štědré je vykoupení, které je každé lidské osobě nabízeno v Duchu svatém!

How to Count Birds
A practical guide to making every bird count, for those who count birds. Counting birds may sound simple—just step outside and start tallying. But in reality, it's a complex and essential endeavor at the core of modern wildlife conservation. In How to Count Birds, conservation biologist Christopher JW McClure offers a practical guide to designing effective bird monitoring programs that inform real-world management and conservation strategies. As species vanish at unprecedented rates, having accurate population data is more urgent than ever. Yet too often, flawed study designs and outdated techniques lead to wasted time, ill-used resources, and misleading conclusions. McClure equips researchers, students, and birders with the tools to design efficient studies that avoid common pitfalls and capture what's truly happening in bird populations. This guide explains the biological, statistical, and philosophical principles behind good monitoring and explores study designs for estimating key demographic rates like survival and reproduction. McClure surveys the techniques used to estimate populations and highlights methods prone to error. Throughout, he advocates for a shift away from traditional approaches toward more precise techniques available today, such as acoustic monitoring and occupancy modeling. Effective study design requires collaboration among wildlife managers, field biologists, and statisticians from the start, as well as flexibility for field conditions and methodological adaptability. Whether you're just beginning or reevaluating a long-standing program, How to Count Birds is a timely reminder that precision and planning are just as critical as passion in the work of conservation.
