The Fairy Courts
The Fairy Courts is an in-depth exploration of its subject, from the original Scottish to modern fiction, mapping out beliefs and how they have evolved. It covers the social structure of fairies, the history of the Scottish Seelie and Unseelie courts, the fairy courts outside Scotland, and it offers a look at how fairy courts are being adapted today in fiction and belief. The Seelie and Unseelie courts have become a staple in fiction and a common idea in pop culture, yet their origins and how they were and are understood in Scottish folklore have become obscure. The Fairy Courts discusses the history of belief as it is traced from the 1500s to today, concluding with a chapter about the ways that folk belief and anecdotes show us how a human might survive in a fairy court.
Insecurity Politics
The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populismIn Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments. Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today’s populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda—one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.

Will, a warlock and the son of a storm witch, wasn’t prepared to meet his soulmate on a family vacation—especially when she turns out to be a stubborn, self-sufficient witch who wants nothing to do with him. But their love is written in the stars, and Will won’t back down without a fight.

Agnes Aubert varázslatos macskamenhelye
Heather Fawcett új regénye gyógyító, szívmelengető történet varázsboltokkal, mentett macskákkal és egy második eséllyel – a szerelemben éppúgy, mint az életben.
Agnes Aubert világát a listák tartják egyben. Ezek segítették át férje halálán, és most, a macskamenhelye vezetőjeként is úgy érzi, aprólékos szervezettsége az egyetlen dolog, ami megóvhatja a rá bízott cicákat – köztük Őfelségét, Sikolyt és az édes, öreg Thoreau-t – a teljes káosztól.
Amikor azonban kénytelen átköltöztetni a menhelyét, Agnes hamar rájön, hogy az új üzlethelyiségben valami nagyon nincs rendben. Főbérlője ugyanis álcaként használja a jótékonysági szervezetet: a menhely alatt bújik meg egy hírhedt, nemzetközileg ismert varázsbolt, amelyet a szétszórt, és nem mellesleg önimádó, bosszantó és fájdalmasan jóképű Havelock Renard vezet. Havelock mágus, bukott Boszorkánykirály és a fél világ által suttogott legendák főszereplője, akinek tiltott mágikus portékái messzi földről csalogatják a kíváncsiakat.
Agnesnek esze ágában sincs belekeveredni a férfi zűrzavaros ügyeibe. Neki cicákat kell mentenie, nem pedig varázslókat féken tartania. De amikor feltűnik a színen egy ellenség Havelock múltjából, a bolt és – ami Agnes számára sokkal fontosabb – a menhely sorsa hirtelen veszélybe kerül.
Hogy megvédje a menhelyet, vajon Agnes képes lesz-e félretenni a kényelmes rendet, és beengedni egy kis káoszt az életébe? Netán megengedni magának, hogy újra szeressen? Hamarosan ugyanis kiderül, hogy nem csak a megmentett cicák kaphatnak második esélyt.

The Secret of the Temple
Unlock the hidden sacred temple science of the ancient world, that has informed Freemasonry and the Grail TraditionJohn Michael Greer unlocks the secrets of ancient temples in this pioneering discussion of their sacred geometry, that gave rise to the world’s most awe-inspiring cathedrals, and the cryptic ceremonies of modern-day Freemasons. Thousands of years ago, people began to notice that certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained their lives. The Temple of Solomon was one of many of these ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition, and its secrets and traditions were passed along by way of the Knights Templar to the Freemasons. Within these pages, Greer expertly unpicks the mysterious history of Freemasonry, tracing the ancient secrets of the temple in different religions and geographies, from Mesopotamia, to China, to Japan, to Africa. The book also explores the place of the temple in Christianity, as well as the Grail tradition. In the final two sections of the book, Greer reveals how the sacred geometry, and the technology of the temple, were used to yield significant benefits to local agricultural fertility, revealing how these secrets can be used again today. The Secret of the Temple rebuilds this lost body of knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover the secrets of freemasonry, sacred geometry, and the Grail tradition.

Voices Beyond the Grave
Voices Beyond the Grave uncovers critically understudied histories of Japanese internment and labor diasporas in the French Pacific. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, French colonial authorities, following Charles de Gaulle’s orders, detained over a thousand Japanese civilians residing across French-Pacific island territories and deported them to Australian internment camps. France’s logics of colonial racial capitalism maintained far-reaching impacts on wartime Japanese emigrant communities in the francophone territories of Tahiti, New Hebrides (now Vanuatu), and New Caledonia. In this book, New Caledonia, a strategic outpost in de Gaulle’s Free French empire and a U.S. stronghold during World War II, is a focal point for exploring the complex structures of power and resistance that arose from settler colonialism, Native dispossession, and the mass incarceration of Japanese civilians. Through rare letters from Japanese internees and interviews with their descendants, this book unveils the emotional and political struggles of mixed-race, Japanese-Melanesian children and families caught in the crossfire of racial settler coloniality. Drawing from military archives in Japanese, French, and English languages, this work also connects the internment of the French-Pacific Japanese to broader, global economies of racialized incarceration and labor, extending to Japanese American internees in the United States. Finally, the author delves into the fate of Japanese detainees sent to Australia, tracing their harrowing experiences from being perceived as enemy aliens during the war to displaced strangers in their postwar lives in Japan. This book goes beyond history—it is a call for racial justice. At the heart of Voices Beyond the Grave is the author’s global humanitarian project that has reunited descendants of Japanese internees living in Japan with their long-lost families in New Caledonia, resolving eighty-year-old historical enigmas while healing the wounds of wartime injustice. Voices Beyond the Grave sits at the interdisciplinary nexus of empire history and decolonial activism, charting new directions in transpacific studies. With insights into the lives of the Melanesian, Japanese, and French children and families that the vicissitudes of World War II irrevocably shaped, this book reveals the Indigenous and Japanese afterlives that have haunted the French Pacific.

Napnak és holdnak csillaga
Elora Forres a háború utáni Skócia egy elfeledett városában, Ravenmire-ban él, amíg egy naplóban talált latin mondat ki nem szakítja a saját idejéből, és 1677-be sodorja. Oda, ahol a klánok és nemesi házak közötti hatalmi harc mindennapos, a boszorkányokat üldözik, és szövetségek nélkül eltaposhatnak.
Elora hamar rájön, hogy nem bízhat senkiben, mégis kénytelen az őt védelmező klánvezér, Arden mellett maradni. A hazajutás lehetetlennek tűnik: nem emlékszik, hogyan került ide, és azt sem tudja, hogyan térhetne vissza. A beilleszkedés ígérete hamar szertefoszlik, amikor kiderül, hogy ő maga is boszorkány.
