These Spaceships Weren't Built For Us
“Chazaro transforms the ranfla, the hooptie, and the G-ride into a spaceship, a time machine. He points our gaze to the sky and we long to take flight while simultaneously holding onto our roots and what keeps our feet on the ground."—Joseph Rios, Fresno Poet Laureate and author of Shadowboxing: Poems & ImpersonationsIn These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro launches a speculative, lyrical odyssey through Latinx identity, diaspora, and memory, where the immigrant experience becomes a poetic voyage, rooted in resistance, love, and the enduring pull of home. In his newest poetry collection, These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro reconsiders the possibilities of space travel as the son of Mexican immigrants while navigating daily life across rapidly shifting social spaces. From barren gas stations in Central California during the height of the pandemic to faraway jungle planets governed by paleteros, Chazaro imagines the present and future in ways that are simultaneously bleak and dire, hopeful and beautiful, and seemingly, impossibly unrealized.

The Civic Bargain
A powerful case for democracy and how it can adapt and survive—if we want it toIs democracy in trouble, perhaps even dying? Pundits say so, and polls show that most Americans believe that their country’s system of governance is being “tested” or is “under attack.” But is the future of democracy necessarily so dire? In The Civic Bargain, Brook Manville and Josiah Ober push back against the prevailing pessimism about the fate of democracy around the world. Instead of an epitaph for democracy, they offer a guide for democratic renewal, calling on citizens to recommit to a “civic bargain” with one another to guarantee civic rights of freedom, equality, and dignity. That bargain also requires them to fulfill the duties of democratic citizenship: governing themselves with no “boss” except one another, embracing compromise, treating each other as civic friends, and investing in civic education for each rising generation. Manville and Ober trace the long progression toward self-government through four key moments in democracy’s history: Classical Athens, Republican Rome, Great Britain’s constitutional monarchy, and America’s founding. Comparing what worked and what failed in each case, they draw out lessons for how modern democracies can survive and thrive. Manville and Ober show that democracy isn’t about getting everything we want; it’s about agreeing on a shared framework for pursuing our often conflicting aims. Crucially, citizens need to be able to compromise, and must not treat one another as political enemies. And we must accept imperfection; democracy is never finished but evolves and renews itself continually. As long as the civic bargain is maintained—through deliberation, bargaining, and compromise—democracy will live.

The Firearm Revolution
A groundbreaking account of how firearms changed Europe and the worldIn Renaissance Italy, the gun was not only a tool of war but also a desirable object, a luxury item carried at court. Guns were in use on the battlefield by 1440; later in that century Leonardo da Vinci sketched a design for a faster-firing, more portable handgun that could be hidden beneath a cloak. As the gun proliferated in society, it became both a means of self-defence and a threat to civic order. In The Firearm Revolution, historian Catherine Fletcher explores the emergence of firearms in Renaissance Italy and beyond, describing the social transformations that accompanied the evolution of the handgun from innovative military technology to widely used personal accessory. Fletcher shows that as guns became smaller and the new wheellock mechanism made concealed carry possible, Italian states increasingly tried to control their use—even as they viewed firearms as necessary for their militias. In the end, Fletcher reports, the importance of civic defence trumped the concern for social order. As guns became ever more acceptable, stories of how firearms aided Europeans’ overseas conquests created a new and more positive image for a weapon once considered the devil’s work. Debates over the regulation of firearms five centuries ago—which included arguments over the restriction of gun ownership, the use of guns for self-defence and the regulation of an armed militia—in many ways anticipate discussions about gun control today. Fletcher’s groundbreaking account sheds new light on how governments weighed the competing priorities of defence and social order as they set out to build empires.
Secure
What’s the secret to finding success, happiness and love? You need to feel SECURE. ‘Psychiatrist Amir Levine gives us a set of tools to help us feel more secure in all our relationships, not just romantic ones, but with colleagues, friends, family and even with ourselves.’ PHILIPPA PERRY‘In a world where so many people feel disconnected, this book explains why that hurts so much and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it.’ RANGAN CHATTERJEE‘It’s so good . . . I’ve read it cover-to-cover, back-to-front, upside-down, inside-out: it's great.’ CHRIS EVANSHow do you become more connected to the people around you, without the fear of being hurt? How can you stop overthinking and letting your emotions impair your judgement? Is it possible to learn emotional resilience? People with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skin. Living life in ‘secure mode’ enables them to cope more effectively with challenges across many areas of life – they’re healthier, less reactive, less driven by insecurity, and better able to navigate setbacks and even social media. It is as though they move through the world with a kind of resilient bubble around them. But new research reveals that your attachment style isn’t fixed. Anyone can become SECURE. In Secure, Dr Amir Levine – multimillion-copy-bestselling author of Attached, and the world’s leading expert on the clinical application of attachment science – introduces a transformative framework feeling more secure in your career, your friendships, your romantic life and beyond. Along the way, he makes a simple, revolutionary argument: when you harness the power of secure mode, you can create the life you want. It’s never too late to become SECURE.

Through the Eyes of Jewish Child Survivors from Poland
Through the Eyes of Jewish Child Survivors from Poland offers an intimate social history of Jewish childhood during and after the Holocaust. Centered on children from German-occupied Poland but informed by experiences across Nazi-occupied Europe, the book highlights the child's own perspective to illuminate rescue, survival, and relationships with adults under the Nazi occupation. In the first part, Joanna Beata Michlic examines children's wartime experiences, showing how agency, gender, class, and religious or social background shaped their chances of survival. The second part traces the complex efforts of these young survivors to reclaim both childhood and Jewish identity, revealing the gap between their hopes and the actual opportunities of the immediate postwar period. Drawing on children's diaries, letters, testimonies, and memoirs, Michlic illuminates how children experienced and remembered trauma: the destruction of their families, the loss of their prewar worlds, and the struggle to adapt to a new reality, challenging myths that sentimentalize the children's endurance and portray the Holocaust as neatly concluded. This powerful study shows why the history of Holocaust child survivors remains a vital resource for understanding vulnerability, agency, and the enduring impact of war and genocide.
Líc a rub, 2. vydání
Před mnoha lety obloha dštila kamení a oheň a takový nápor staré impérium nevydrželo. Země, které se vymanily z jeho svazující hegemonie, mají nastolit nový světový pořádek. Zvláště dva lidé vidí tento proces v širších souvislostech. V zimním paláci má králova nová lékařka více nepřátel, než si zprvu uvědomuje: Její protivníci ovšem nevědí, že nemá ve svém arzenálu jen léky… V jiném paláci za horami má ve službách královraha protektora jeho hlavní tělesný strážce také své nepřátele. Ti ale dokážou udeřit mnohem rychleji a on s nimi bojuje mnohem tradičnějšími prostředky. Kniha je příběhem dvou příběhů. Oba spějí k dramatickému vyvrcholení, oba jsou spolu spjaty víc, než hrdinové tuší, a oběma je společným jmenovatelem klam, láska a zrada. Líc a rub je pátý román série Kultura od fenomenálního autora fantastiky Iaina M. Bankse.
Právo pro školy
Regionální školství je v České republice reprezentováno rozsáhlou sítí mateřských, základních, středních a specializovaných škol, přesahující počtem deset tisíc subjektů. Autorský kolektiv pod vedením JUDr. Stanislava Polčáka přináší první ucelenou monografii s výkladem nejzásadnějších právních předpisů, vydaných metodických dokumentů a soudní judikatury regulující regionální školství.
Publikace Právo pro školy je určena především zřizovatelům škol – představitelům samospráv, neboť se zaměřuje na zásadní změny ve financování regionálního školství přijaté v roce 2025, ale pochopitelně i na zásadní změny školského zákona. Kniha by neměla chybět ani v knihovně ředitele školy a měla by být k dispozici členům pedagogického sboru, protože neopomíjí žádnou z významných oblastí právní regulace vzdělávacího procesu. Snahou autorského kolektivu bylo poskytnout účastníkům vzdělávání a zřizovatelům škol významnou oporu při řízení a správě mateřských a základních škol a také v samotném vzdělávacím procesu.

The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.

No Confidence
How to reckon with no-confidence votes and rebuild trust in higher ed leadership. Faculty votes of no confidence in college presidents have become a defining feature of leadership turmoil in American higher education. Often dismissed as merely symbolic, these votes can nonetheless mark a turning point in campus governance—and frequently signal the end of a presidency. In No Confidence, Michael T. Nietzel and Charles M. Ambrose present the first comprehensive analysis of this dramatic and increasingly visible phenomenon. This book examines the origins, causes, and consequences of no-confidence votes, placing them in the wider context of higher education's evolving governance structures. Nietzel and Ambrose explain why these votes have increased in frequency, especially in the wake of financial crises, political pressures, and a rapidly shifting academic workforce. What happens after such votes are cast—who resigns, who survives, and what do these outcomes mean for the institutions involved? Through detailed case studies and critical insights, No Confidence reveals how diminishing shared governance, declining faculty influence, and rising tensions between academic and corporate management styles have created fertile ground for conflict. To prevent and repair campus conflict, Nietzel and Ambrose recommend focusing on improving trust, transparency, and collaboration among presidents, governing boards, and faculty. These essential actions, they argue, can help maintain institutional stability in an increasingly volatile higher education landscape.
