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.

A Fighter Pilot’s War
Richard Edgar Peter Brooker, always known as Peter to his family and friends, left school and joined the RAF in 1937. He was posted to 56 Squadron and in 1940 he served for several weeks as personal assistant to Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, before flying throughout the height of the Battle of Britain. In the spring of 1941, promoted to Acting Squadron Leader, Brooker commanded No.1 Squadron during the Blitz; for this he was awarded the D.F.C. After being posted to Singapore late in 1941, where he led Nos. 232 and 242 squadrons fighting the Japanese invasion, he was evacuated on the last flight out of Bandoeng, Java, to Australia in March 1942. For his gallantry, determination in the face of heavy odds during the fall of Singapore, Brooker was awarded a Bar to the D.F.C. In the spring of 1944, Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 123 Wing of Hawker Typhoons at RAF Thorney Island, in preparation for the liberation of Europe. Exhausted after an intensive spell of operational flying during and after D-Day, Brooker was taken off flying in July and sent to complete the Senior Staff Officers’ course at the RAF Staff College. At this time, he was awarded the DSO. In January 1945 Brooker became Wing Commander Flying of 122 Wing operating Hawker Tempest Vs, initially in Holland and then in Germany. In this period he was awarded a Bar to his DSO – but it was an award that was made posthumously. It was from Rheine-Hopsten in Germany that Peter took off on the evening, of 16 April 1945, and failed to return, just twenty-two days from VE Day. His aircraft and his remains have never been accounted for. However, the answers to the mystery and controversy surrounding Brooker’s disappearance are finally revealed in this detailed biography.

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.

Nerovně sjednoceni
Přestože od pádu Berlínské zdi uplynulo již víc než třicet pět let, zůstává Německo zemí, kterou stále prostupují rozdíly mezi bývalým Východem a Západem. Renomovaný německý sociolog ve své oceněné knize analyzuje, proč proces znovusjednocení nepřinesl očekávané vyrovnání životních podmínek, zkušeností ani identit. Na základě dat, výzkumů i osobních svědectví ukazuje, že rozdíly mezi bývalou NDR a západní částí země nejsou jen ekonomické, ale také kulturní, sociální a mentální.
Kniha je podnětná nejen pro pochopení německé reality, ale i složitého procesu společenské transformace po roce 1989 v dalších středoevropských postkomunistických zemích, tedy i v České republice. Osloví čtenáře se zájmem o sociologii, moderní dějiny i současné politické dění.

O co jde? - Proč Bohu záleží na sexu
Tato kniha pomůže vašim dětem porozumět přicházející pubertě. Citlivě, ale narovinu vysvětluje změny, které se brzy začnou odehrávat v jejich těle i mysli, a na rozdíl od běžné školní sexuální výchovy ukazuje všechny tyto proměny jako součást krásného Božího stvoření.
Tato kniha také dětem pomáhá lépe porozumět sexu. Možná o něm už něco slyšely – z internetu, televize nebo od spolužáků – ale tyto informace bývají často zkreslené a neúplné. Kniha ukazuje, že sex je Boží dar, který má prohlubovat lásku mezi manžely a upevňovat jejich rodinu.
A nakonec vám tato kniha pomůže otevřeně mluvit i o těžkých, ale důležitých tématech, jako je pornografie a sexuální zneužívání. Díky těmto rozhovorům se děti naučí, jak se chránit, a zároveň budou vědět, že se na vás mohou kdykoli obrátit o pomoc.
