Matters of Truth
In Matters of Truth, Carlo Agostoni explores the frames and narratives shaping our understanding of whistleblowing, truth-telling, and their cultural histories. Narratives of whistleblowing are stories of truth-telling, first and foremost, but they are also stories of complication and conflicts of interest. The whistleblower is remedy and cure for some and poison and treason for others. But the anchor of the whistleblower is the immensity of factuality?-?an anchor that pulls him down and turns him into a tragic hero. But truth-telling is not the dominant frame surrounding whistleblowing in media, scholarship, nor politics. One of the dominant frames used to describe whistleblowing is leaking. Frames are not just words; they constitute the cognitive structures we think with. Framing a social phenomenon as 'leaking'?taps into our neural circuitry and a hidden realm of deep narratives. It is therefore imperative to study these narratives and frames that rule our unconscious and yield moral narratives we are commonly unaware of -?especially with a sociocultural phenomenon such as whistleblowing. Drawing on a wealth of examples and a wide range of philosophers, sociologists, cognitive linguists, literary critics, historians, and social psychologists, Carlo Agostoni analyzes the cultural narratives about whistleblowers that ignite explosions of truth and justice and the frames we use to defame them -?both knowingly and unknowingly. Words matter. Narratives matter. Especially in matters of truth.
When the Forest Breathes
When the forest breathes out, we breathe in. When the forest thrives, we thrive.
The world-renowned forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has transformed our understanding of the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. In When the Forest Breathes, she uncovers how the deep-rooted cycles of renewal that sustain the forest can also help us to protect our entire global ecosystem.
Raised in a family of loggers committed to sustainable stewardship of the land, Simard has watched as timber companies leave the forests of her native British Columbia vulnerable to wildfires and drought, threatening the crucial biodiversity that they support. But her groundbreaking research for the Mother Tree Project - one of the most ambitious forest ecology experiments of its kind - has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a living symphony of finely honed cycles of birth, growth, death and rebirth that hold the key to protecting the natural world. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose sustainable practices have been largely ignored, Simard examines how holistic, regenerative forestry that preserves the cycles of the forest can help solve the global climate crisis.
Weaving together scientific discoveries and luminous storytelling, Simard's book is a call to rediscover our kinship with the natural world, and listen to the lessons of the forest.
An Enchanted World
Uncovering the vibrant spiritual life of Late AntiquityIn Late Antiquity (ca. 200–600 CE), the world was alive with unseen forces—divine agents who influenced every aspect of daily life. For most ordinary people, religion was not found in temples, synagogues, and churches, but in lived experience as they interacted with the supernatural in a world of uncertainty and danger. In An Enchanted World, Michael Satlow uncovers a shared spiritual landscape that stretched beyond the confines of Judaism, Christianity, and the pantheon of Greek and Roman deities. From healing rituals to protective amulets, spiritual practices were a matter of necessity, transcending religious labels. To get by in the world required being on good terms with the right supernatural beings and being able to ward off the bad ones. Rejecting traditional narratives that focus on institutional religion and theological divisions, Satlow presents a compelling case for viewing the period through the lens of “lived religion.” This was not a religion of abstractions formulated by rabbis and priests, but an enchanted world populated by divine beings who had as much—if not more—agency as any person. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical documents, and a rich trove of magical texts, Satlow vividly reconstructs how ordinary people lived in a world that crackled with the energy of the supernatural. His account reimagines the spiritual history of Late Antiquity, centering shared human fears and aspirations and challenging preconceived notions about religious boundaries. With An Enchanted World, Satlow offers a fresh perspective on a transformative period—one that has much to teach us even today about the role that spirituality can play in the secular world.

Anděl královny Konstancie
V čele trestné výpravy přijíždí do Hodonína v roce 1236 soudce Pardus Tvrdišovec, aby vyšetřil, kdo a proč zabil královnina rychtáře. Pardus se narodil v nedalekých Tvrdonicích, zná tedy povahu zdejších lidí, kteří stále věří na staré bohy a uctívají vědmy žijící v močálech kolem Hodonína. Královna Konstancie ho povolala, aby zajistil i bezpečí pro její nové úředníky, kteří mají za úkol udělat ve městě pořádek. Situace se vyhrotí, když do Hodonína přijede starý františkánský mnich a spolčí se s tamějším fanatickým knězem. Jejich cílem je potlačit přetrvávající projevy pohanství.
Román je inspirovaný listinou královny Konstancie Uherské, v níž povyšuje Hodonín na královské město a uděluje mu široká práva a současně vyzývá k potrestání vrahů jejího rychtáře Petra.

Michelangelo and Titian
From the acclaimed author of Michelangelo, God’s Architect, a dual biography of two towering artists of the Renaissance, whose decades-long rivalry spurred both to greater heightsIn 1529, Michelangelo was in Venice when he first met Titian, Venice’s famed painter of princes, gods, and goddesses. Coming face-to-face with Titian’s drama-infused, richly colored works, the creator of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling realized he had met a worthy opponent. Twenty-five years later, Titian came to Rome to paint the pope, and the two met again. Painting in the Vatican, Titian experienced the full power of Michelangelo’s work and vowed to surpass the achievements of his older contemporary. Michelangelo and Titian is the untold story of history’s greatest artistic rivalry, a competition between two monumental figures more admiring of one another than either would ever admit. William Wallace brings the world of the sixteenth century to life, and in particular its culture of gossip and intrigue. Wallace challenges the established narrative of this relationship as mostly one-sided, with the younger artist in competition with the reigning master. He shows how the artists moved in overlapping courtly and papal circles, sharing the patronage, power, and sometimes friendship of the most important people of their era, including members of the Medici, Este, and Farnese families. Wallace traces how, over the span of some forty years, this unspoken rivalry was reciprocal and mutually beneficial, with each learning from the other’s brilliance, quietly seeking to best the other’s work and secure his own legacy. An extraordinary achievement, Michelangelo and Titian is a compelling account of two supremely gifted rivals who inspired each other to test the limits of their creative genius, and in doing so created some of the most astonishing works of art the world has ever known.
