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.
Go Gentle
Adora Hazzard has it all figured out. A contented divorcee, she relishes her teenage daughter, her job as a moral tutor for an old-money family and the bliss of finally being solo.
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.
Adora's life philosophy is simple: want only what you already have. But could a chance encounter with a charming stranger threaten her joyfully curated life and leave Adora suddenly wanting more - even if she must risk everything to get it?
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!

The Auction
I was trained to be a pawn, but I will rise as a queen.
My life has never been my own. After the death of my parents, I was saved by my grandfather, with the promise that he would turn me over to the Brotherhood on my twenty-first birthday.
I was kept away from the outside world so I could one day be sold to the highest bidder—pure and unsullied. Penance for my parents’ alleged crimes.
That’s how I come to be sold at an auction.
And who buys me but the reclusive billionaire, Lincoln Knight?
Some say that he’s a monster, more dangerous than any of the evil men from the Brotherhood. That he wears a mask to cover his scars. But I believe he’s hiding more than just his face behind his mask.
My fate is sealed when he takes me to his crumbling mansion deep in the woods. I’m trapped. Entirely at his mercy.
I have to escape.
But something here isn’t what it seems.
Lincoln isn’t what he seems. Maybe he’s not a monster at all. I’m drawn to him in a way that I can’t explain. Until I discover that his secrets go far beyond his mask.
He’s everything I’ve been taught to fear, but what if everything I’ve ever known has been a lie?
Česká touha
Novinářka Hana Vacková pootevírá na základě devatenácti intimních zpovědí dveře do českých ložnic. Díky zasazení do širšího kontextu i komentářům odborníků pochopíte, jak lidskou sexualitu formují psychologické a společenské vlivy – od křesťanské tradice přes sociální sítě až po zpracování traumatu. A jak hluboko pronikají do našich očekávání.
Touha nezná hranice ani normy. V hlavě si jich ale stavíme spoustu.
Kniha vám mimo jiné odhalí:
* Žádná „normální sexualita neexistuje. V pořádku je vše, co probíhá dobrovolně mezi zralými lidmi, kteří nejsou blízcí příbuzní a nikomu nepůsobí újmu.
* Sexualita není neměnná vlastnost, ale dynamický systém, který se během života mění vlivem stresu, hormonů i nabytých zkušeností.
* Spokojený intimní život není otázkou talentu ani chemie, ale dovedností, které si můžeme osvojit během života.
Česká touha není sbírkou pikantních historek.
Je citlivou průvodkyní lidskou sexualitou – v celé její složitosti, křehkosti a rozmanitosti. A najdete se v ní i vy.

The Evolution of Fire
"The Evolution of Fire is stunningly written—vivid in imagery, in the braiding together of language, and in the honoring of every person it shines a light on."—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There's Always This YearFrom the celebrated author of Limber, a luminous collection of essays about crisis, hope, and the decision to resist or embrace evolution—a book about time, for our time. Crisis is an agent of evolution, and Angela Pelster knows what it means to evolve. As a child, she burned grass to keep weeds at bay and watched tadpoles transform. She basked in the warmth of her father’s love but was burned by his rage, and she witnessed a sudden, unnamable change occur in her older sister after an encounter with a stranger in a white van. In adulthood, she survived the explosion of her marriage, the destruction of her burning home, and a year spent as the single mother of a toddler without a home of their own. And like us all, she has weathered the upheaval of our current atmosphere—political instability, climate change, mass extinction. But in spite of the world’s violence, Pelster manages to remain open to its beauty, deciding not to resist change, but to give herself over to it and let evolution make her into a new animal. She plumbs the depths of ancestral knowledge to uncover the scale of our ancient capacity for adaptation, from humankind’s early harnessing of fire to the grandmothers responsible for our continued existence. Meditative and curious, pulsing with fascination, fear, and the untamable human spirit, The Evolution of Fire contemplates who we are now and what we still might become.

Sometimes the fate of entire worlds can be decided by a woman with nothing to lose, and the smartest gun in the multiverse in her hand . . .
This is the story of Bess - or Dog-Bitch Bess as she came to be known. It's the story of the gun she carried, whose name was Wakeful Slim. It's the story of the dead man who carried that gun before her and left a piece of himself inside it. And it's the tale of how she turned from teacher, to renegade, and ultimately to hero.
This is also the tale of the last violent engagements in an inter-dimensional war - one of the most brutal the multiverse had ever seen.
This is how Bess learned the truth about her world. Came to it the hard way, through pain and loss and the reckless spilling of blood, and carried it with her like a brand on her soul. And once she knew it - knew for sure how badly she'd been used - she had no option but to do something about it.
From one of science fiction's most original and revolutionary voices comes a tale like no other. Vengeance always comes with a price . . .
