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.
1996
'Tony Adams calls it a “celebration of recovery.” It’s a monument to candour too. Gruesome memories come with smiles… The fresh detail in his new autobiography, 1996, adds layers that are both harrowing and redemptive as he goes about the work of helping others.' PAUL HAYWARD, The ObserverIt was the summer of Euro 96 and England was in party mood as the nation hosted a major tournament, revelling in watching Gazza and Co reach the semi-finals. For the national team's captain Tony Adams, though, it masked a misery that had been building all year, with his wife leaving and his children being removed from him as a result of his dangerous and damaging drinking. Following Gareth Southgate's crushing penalty miss against Germany, Adams proceeded to embark on a 44-day bender to drown sorrows that learned how to swim and led him into some seamy, sordid situations. Finally, he could take no more and desperation drove him to quit the booze and get help. A year that had begun in dark despair would end in a new lightness of being. In 1996, Adams revisits in candid, graphic detail that year when football came home but England's thirty years of hurt continued. And, as he reaches his 60th birthday, he reflects with trademark honesty and accumulated wisdom on his own remarkable thirty years off hurt.

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?

Outlaw Planet
Discover this thrilling stand-alone science fiction adventure set in the world of the Pandominion from the million-copy bestselling M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts and the Philip K. Dick Award-shortlisted Infinity Gate.
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 . . .

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!

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.

Intervencia na stimuláciu kognitívnych schopností a sociálnych zručností
Cieľom tejto učebnice je zmysluplne podporiť seniorov – nielen v oblasti sociálnej starostlivosti, ale aj v ich každodennom prežívaní, správaní a vzťahoch. V období, keď sa mnohí z nich ocitajú v izolácii, stereotypnom rytme života v zariadeniach či komunitných centrách, alebo postupne strácajú kontakt s okolím, ponúka táto publikácia konkrétne nástroje a inšpirácie na ich aktivizáciu a sociálne začlenenie. Plnohodnotný, dôstojný a radostný život seniorov si vyžaduje kvalitne pripravených odborníkov, ktorí budú schopní túto víziu napĺňať v každodennej praxi. Práve preto je táto učebnica adresovaná predovšetkým študentom odborov ako sociálna práca, psychológia, andragogika či ošetrovateľstvo, teda tým, ktorí stoja na začiatku tejto cesty. Zároveň je určená aj odborníkom pôsobiacim v zariadeniach sociálnych služieb a komunitných centrách, teda sociálnym pracovníkom, inštruktorom sociálnej rehabilitácie, psychológom, sociálnym andragógom/geragógom, ošetrovateľom a ďalším profesionálom, ktorí sa venujú seniorskej populácii.
Publikácia vychádza z aktuálnych teoretických východísk a ponúka čitateľovi ucelený pohľad na špecifickú intervenciu zameranú na seniorov – od jej charakteristiky, cez implementáciu, odporúčania, až po predstavenie komplexného programu. Na teoretickú časť nadväzuje praktická rovina, ktorá sa sústreďuje na konkrétne aktivity.
