Divide and Rule
Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers? They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media. In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence. Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us.

Menšia a väčšia legenda osvätom Gerardovi biskupovi
Postava svätého Gerarda, jedného z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov uhorskej cirkvi v 11. storočí, púta pozornosť z viacerých perspektív. Gerard je jedným z mála vzdelancov pôsobiacich v raných stredoeurópskych kresťanských kráľovstvách a kniežatstvách, ktorých dielo sa čiastočne zachovalo.
Prostredníctvom vzácneho teologicko-filozofického spisu, úvah či „rozjímania“svätého Gerarda (Deliberatio Gerardi) – zachovaného v jedinom stredovekom rukopise – máme možnosť nahliadnuť do autentických myšlienok, úvah a biblických interpretácií prvého čanádskeho biskupa.
Idealizovaný obraz o osobnosti svätého Gerarda možno zároveň nájsť v legendách o svätom Gerardovi. Obe legendy sú unikátnym svedectvom o dobe poslednej veľkej konfrontácie pohanskej tradície a nastupujúceho kresťanstva v Uhorskom kráľovstve. Legendy o svätom Gerardovi však možno považovať a jza pramene, ktoré približujú okolnosti a pozadie vzniku a postupného šírenia Gerardovho kultu. Dve legendy, pravdepodobne z 12. a 14. storočia, sú súčasne dokladom genézy hagiografického žánru v Uhorsku a poodhaľujú aj zámery a motívy samotných autorov legiend.
Nová latinsko-slovenská edícia, obsahujúca aj sprievodné štúdie o osobnosti a dobe svätého Gerarda, prináša prvý slovenský preklad oboch legiend o svätom Gerardovi.

The Great Auk
The life, death and afterlife of one of the true icons of extinction, the Great AukThe great auk was a flightless, goose-sized bird superbly adapted for life at sea. Fat, flush with feathers and easy to capture, the birds were in trouble whenever sailors visited their once-remote breeding colonies. Places like Funk Island, off north-east Newfoundland, became scenes of unimaginable slaughter, with birds killed in their millions. By 1800 the auks of Funk Island were gone. A scramble by private collectors for specimens of the final few birds then began, a bloody, unthinking destruction of one of the world’s most extraordinary species. But their extinction in 1844 wasn’t the end of the great auk story, as the bird went on to have a remarkable afterlife; skins, eggs and skeletons became the focus for dozens of collectors in a story of pathological craving and unscrupulous dealings that goes on to this day. In a book rich with insight and packed with tales of birds and of people, Tim Birkhead reveals previously unimagined aspects of the bird’s life before humanity, its death on the killing shores of the North Atlantic, and the unrelenting subsequent quest for its remains. The great auk remains a symbol of human folly and the necessity of conservation. This book tells its story.
