The Unspeakable Vice
As gay men and lesbian women increasingly gained recognition and acceptance in twentieth-century literature and film, and subsequently in social and political movements, the Catholic Church reacted by subtly moving away from its overt condemnation of homosexuality as an urgent moral problem and toward tacitly shunning homosexuality as an “unspeakable vice.” In this revealing history, Francesco Torchiani reconstructs the Catholic Church’s shifting attitudes toward homosexuality during this period by drawing on a vast array of internal documents and external accounts. This monograph expands the scholarship on the relationship between Catholicism and homosexuality in terms of both method and content, ultimately concluding that the Catholic Church continues to wholeheartedly condemn homosexuality despite making genuine efforts to reflect on and understand its social and cultural impact. The Unspeakable Vice therefore sheds new light on and places into historical perspective the questions the Catholic Church continues to reckon with regarding its role in contemporary society.
The Scent of Betrayal
The fifth volume in The Privateersman Mysteries1795: The discovery of an abandoned Spanish merchant ship off the coast of America plunges the Ludlows into a far-reaching conspiracy fueled by jealousy, ambition, and nationalistic fervor. The Bucephalas lies trapped under the gaping muzzles of the forty-two-pounder Spanish guns of the New Orleans harbor fort. It quickly becomes clear that the corridors of the governor's residence are just as busy with treachery, double-dealing, and murder as the back alleys of the sweltering city outside. Harry Ludlow must win freedom for his ship in a deadly game played out in the dark woods of the American hinterland.

Maintain
Reaching your goal weight isn’t the finish line—it’s where the real journey begins. New York Times best-selling author Susan Peirce Thompson, brain and cognitive scientist and founder of Bright Line Eating, teaches you the three identity shifts that will finally keep the weight off for good. Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren't the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight—and keeping it off—so difficult? Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself:· You are DEVOTED. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully. · You are RESOURCED. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food. · You are LIBERATED. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body—and life—you trust. It's time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn't magic—it's a mindset.
Working Nature
Daniela Russ argues that the category of 'energy' is best understood not in terms of particular material things but as a social relation to nature forged over 200 years of capitalist industrialization. Working Nature examines how engineers, scientists, and economists harnessed and circulated the products of nature despite social and natural resistance.

Nemcsak a mély lelki folyamatokban, a megbocsátásban vagy a türelemben kaphatunk támaszt, hanem a teljesen hétköznapi helyzetekben is, mint a kreativitás, az utazás vagy a parkolás segítése.
Debbie Malone médiumként sok éven keresztül eredményesen segítette az ausztrál rendőrség munkáját eltűnt személyek felkutatásában. Angyalolvasó kártyái világ szerte sokaknak segítettek a leki béke és az összhang megtalálásában.
How University Boards Work
A completely updated guide to helping university trustees become effective stewards of their institutions. Boards of trustees hold immense responsibility in guiding the future of colleges and universities. They hire and fire presidents, approve and monitor strategy, oversee finances, and safeguard institutional missions and autonomy. Yet many trustees enter this role with limited understanding of the distinct culture, structure, and values of the academic institutions they are selected to govern. In this second edition of How University Boards Work, former university president Robert A. Scott offers a practical and candid guide for navigating the complexities of academic board service. Originally published in 2018 and widely adopted in board development programs, this updated edition incorporates insights gleaned from years of training sessions, executive coaching, and a radically altered higher education landscape. Elements unique to this edition include:• A new preface addressing the contemporary pressures affecting higher education governance, including political interference, enrollment challenges, changing public attitudes, tuition pricing, overall costs and ROI, and post-pandemic adaptations. • Expanded guidance on key topics such as consent agendas, indicators of institutional vitality and vulnerability, risk assessment, and succession planning. • Updated index entries and terminology reflecting evolving governance concerns such as cybersecurity and free speech. With illustrative examples of effective and problematic board behavior and actionable suggestions for trustee development, How University Boards Work remains the definitive primer for trustees of both public and private institutions.
Germany's Jewish Problem
A leading German–Jewish peace activist dissects Germany’s authoritarian crackdown after Gaza. Since October 2023, the Frankfurt-based Jewish composer and activist Wieland Hoban has traveled the globe rallying opposition to the Gaza genocide. Now, in an urgent collection of writings at once blistering and revelatory, Hoban unravels the cultural neuroses and political cynicism that have made Germany an outlier in its support for Israeli crimes. From German gentiles confidently charging Israeli Jewish expats with antisemitism, to the German state’s decades-long project to stifle free speech under the guise of combating “antisemitism,” to German officials mobilising their historical responsibility for one genocide to justify participating in another—Hoban guides us through the grotesqueries of German “memory culture” and shows their lethal consequences. As the chair of a German–Jewish peace group whose bank accounts were repeatedly frozen and whose members have been arrested on Gaza solidarity protests, Hoban is uniquely placed to expose the oddities and outrages of Germany’s authoritarian turn. He also warns that what begins in Germany doesn’t stay there. From sabotaging international support for a Gaza ceasefire, to deporting foreign nationals on political grounds, to spearheading censorship laws across the EU, Hoban’s diagnosis of German pathologies demonstrates where the ideological weaponisation of “antisemitism” can lead.
Neschopnost
Neschopnost, román spoluautora legendárního seriálu Červený trpaslík, se dokáže zaseknout pod kůži. Co před lety při prvním vydání působilo jako drsná satira, dnes čteme téměř jako dokument. Rob Grant popisuje svět, v němž se neschopnost stává normou, hloupost strategií a cynismus podmínkou přežití. Hrdina příběhu se snaží obstát v systému, který nepřeje inteligenci, empatii ani odpovědnosti — a zjišťuje, že největší trumfem je nebýt příliš schopný. Grantův humor je ostrý, nemilosrdný a přesný – ostatně jako vždy – a Neschopnost zraje jako víno: s dobou nevyčpěla, právě naopak. V éře manažerských frází, prázdných gest a algoritmického myšlení působí až znepokojivě aktuálně. Je to kniha o moci, selhání a lidské povaze — a o tom, proč svět často řídí ti nejméně vhodní lidé.

Asistovaná reprodukce - před podpisem informovaného souhlasu
Rozhodnutí, které mění život – průvodce světem asistované reprodukce pro odborníky i budoucí rodiče
V současné době, kdy se asistovaná reprodukce stává pro mnohé jedinou cestou k rodičovství, nabývá pojem „informovaný souhlas“ nového významu. Nejde již jen o podpis právního dokumentu, ale především o hluboké porozumění všem lékařským, psychologickým a etickým souvislostem.
Tato unikátní monografie pod vedením doc. Hany Konečné nabízí komplexní a srozumitelný vhled do problematiky, která dalece přesahuje hranice čisté medicíny. Autorský kolektiv – složený ze špiček české reprodukční medicíny, psychologů, sociologů, genealogů i právníků se zkušenostmi z Evropského soudu pro lidská práva – se věnuje tématům, která jsou v běžné praxi často opomíjena:
Lékařské a psychosociální výzvy: Jak se vyrovnat s nároky léčby, jakou roli hraje genetická diagnostika a co přináší fenomény jako social freezing či onkofertilita. Etika a právo: Objektivní pohled na dárcovství gamet, náhradní mateřství, transplantace dělohy či formy náhradní rodinné péče bez zbytečné ideologie. Budoucí identita dětí: Jak pomoci dětem počatým díky asistované reprodukci s tvorbou jejich vlastní identity a jak celý systém mění nástup komerčních DNA testů. Pro koho je kniha určena?
Pro odborníky: Zdravotníkům, psychologům, sociálním pracovníkům a pedagogům poslouží jako nepostradatelný manuál pro poskytování kvalitního poradenství a pochopení širších souvislostí. Pro zájemce o léčbu: Těm, kteří o asistované reprodukci či náhradním rodičovství uvažují a chtějí se rozhodovat zodpovědně, na základě faktů a s ohledem na budoucnost své rodiny. Kniha nehodnotí ani nepolemizuje – popisuje, vysvětluje a pomáhá orientovat se v jednom z nejcitlivějších témat moderní medicíny.

Básnici zo Stasi
V čase studenej vojny sa tajná služba Nemeckej demokratickej republiky rozhodla posvietiť si na spisovateľov, vycvičiť si vlastných lojálnych autorov, ktorí budú ochotne informovať príslušné orgány o zákulisnej atmosfére literárneho života, a získať na svoju stranu ľudí, pripravených sledovať svojich nekonformných kolegov. Z agentov sa stávali poeti, z poetov agenti.
Kniha nemecko-britského novinára Philipa Oltermanna rozpráva nepravdepodobný a málo známy príbeh básnickej tvorivej dielne na východonemeckom ministerstve pre štátnu bezpečnosť, známom ako Stasi. Na základe päťročného archívneho výskumu a rozhovorov s aktérmi a aktérkami autor nielen rekonštruuje pozadie a fungovanie tohto krúžku, ale zároveň približuje jeho špecifické miesto v bezpečnostnom aparáte krajiny socialistického bloku. Spojenie jednej z najsurovejších tajných polícií s jemným básnickým remeslom znie možno groteskne. Oltermann však ukazuje, že nemuseli mať od seba tak ďaleko, ako by sa na prvý pohľad zdalo. Obzvlášť v prípade Nemeckej demokratickej republiky, krajiny s bohatým kultúrnym dedičstvom, výsadným postavením spisovateľov a literárneho umenia a tiež, slovami Georgea Steinera, s intenzívnym, priam religióznym vzťahom k písanému slovu.
The Valkyries
The Valkyries – fierce daughters of battle, riders of storm and shadow. They choose the slain and carry souls to glory, moving between mortal and divine. These fierce but angelic warrior goddesses escort half of those who have died in battle to Odin's hall of heroes: Valhalla. There they receive the heroes with horns of mead. But there is so much more to these heavily symbolic beings. The Valkyries are many and amorphous, some are named and famous – Brunhild (powerful and defiant), Gunnr (courageous in battle), Skuld (a Norn but also a Valkyrie) to name a few – while others exist in the shadows. This new collection features stories that tell the Valkyries’ own back stories, and echo their power: tales of fate, war, sacrifice and the mythic eternal. Stories selected from open submissions explore and expand on the classic tales and imagine completely new narratives. With an extensive new introduction to the ancient origins and stories, this powerful new title offers fresh perspectives on compelling characters.
Introductory essay by Nancy Marie Brown, and foreword by Jóhanna Katrín Fri?riksdóttir. The modern authors whose stories feature in this book are: Ryaan Akmal, Don Bisdorf, Kay Hanifen, Ikechukwu Henry, E.K. Larson-Burnett, JB Riley, Laura Shenton, Nina Shepardson, Zac Sherman, D.L. Stille, Susanna Fraser Stone, Deborah Tapper, Benjamin Thomas, M.M. Williams, Mae Wilmarth, Johanna Wittenberg and Ernie Xu.

Hike Strong
Hiking and backpacking are unique “sports” which require a unique blend of strength, conditioning, and athleticism unlike most recreational physical endeavors. People need strength to climb steep ascents, conditioning to endure long mile days, and athleticism to handle their own body on rugged terrain. Now add on the harsh, rugged conditions of the mountains and it can be a recipe for struggle – but it doesn’t have to be. Hike Strong: The Complete Guide to Building Trail Strength, Endurance, and Confidence for Hiking and Backpacking will help alleviate the “fitness anxiety” that some can experience when thinking about tackling the mountain they’ve always wanted to climb. Written by a licensed hiking guide and professional strength and conditioning coach, this book will be a transformative fitness guide designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want to confidently enjoy the trail. This guide will offer a practical, step-by-step approach to preparing readers both physically and mentally so they can arrive at any trailhead fully confident in their abilities. The tools and programming they’ll learn will help them feel strong and perform well from trailhead to summit and back again. In Hike Strong, readers will find training programs that combine strength-building, conditioning, balance, and mobility tailored specifically to the demands of hiking and backpacking. They’ll also learn the “why” and “how” behind these programs. Conventional wisdom has told people to “just go running” to get in shape for hiking. This guide takes a vastly different approach and instead teaches that strength training is the way to properly prepare oneself for the demands of the backcountry. The author’s training modalities have been proven over and over by the successful results his clients have experienced in the mountains following his training program. This book will inspire readers to be excited to embark on new adventures, knowing they have the tools to make every step of the adventure a rewarding one.
