Gravity Archives
From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return. Andrew Motion's new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motion's writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

Coalition Aircraft vs Iraqi SAMs
A detailed study of how Operation Desert Storm saw Coalition forces respond to Iraq’s surface-to-air missile defences with ground-breaking combat aircraft technology.Developed in the wake of the USA’s ill-prepared entry into the Vietnam War, aircraft carrying electronic counter-measures equipment and anti-radar missiles were crucial to the success of Operation Desert Storm during the First Gulf War. Iraq’s air defence systems were elaborate and costly, but also well understood by Coalition planners, and its surface-to-air missile batteries struggled in the face of radar jamming, pyrotechnic deflection of infrared guidance and extraordinarily effective destruction of enemy air defences weapons like the AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile. Written by aviation expert Peter E Davies, this fascinating study uses newly commissioned artwork to enhance its retelling of how aircraft and weapons, as well as crew training and command-and-control structures, proved decisive in the outcome of Desert Storm in 1991. Archive photos capture examples of the principal weapons involved, while first-hand accounts from Coalition aircrew and planners convey the realities of a conflict in which cutting-edge technology played an inestimable role.

Serapion
Mgr. art. Vlado JAVORSKÝ (1952) prichádza po románoch Noah (2021), Čas čarodejníc (2022) a románe Chata v hmle (2024, Pars artem) s najnovším románom SERAPION (2026, Signis), ktorý nesie nezameniteľný rukopis autorovej tvorby. Vyštudovaný filmový a televízny scenárista a dramaturg vidí svoje príbehy v obrazoch, ktoré si čitateľ vo svojej fantázii dokáže pred očami pretaviť do akoby odvíjajúceho sa filmu. Román Serapion je „film“ širokého časového plátna. Osudy ľudí v komunite cirkusu od besnenia svetovej vojny až po neľútostnú súčasnosť. Kladie si otázku, prečo toľko pádov, prehratých bitiek a zúfalých pokusov o šťastie? Je to osud, čo ženie človeka do zúfalých činov, kde hľadá nápravu a porozumenie? Hoci je román prakticky bez dialógov, príbeh ich nepotrebuje, je jasný a zrozumiteľný. Autor je znalcom kritických momentov života, ovláda podstatu konfliktov a snáh o ich riešenia. Každý z hrdinov nesie svoj kríž bez zbytočného sentimentálneho balastu. Hrdinovia sú takými, akými ich splodila doba. Sú silní vo svojej viere, že marazmus ich bytia je iba dočasný. Hrdo nosia v sebe nádej v lepšie dni...
Abe Sapien 7: Utajený oheň
SOUČÁST HELLBOY UNIVERSA

Renaissance Polish Armies 1492–1569
This fully illustrated study assesses the armies of Poland at war in the first half of the 16th century, during the transition from feudal to standing forces. Against a background of almost continual warfare, the 80 years after 1492 witnessed the slow transformation of Polish forces from feudal levies to standing armies. The bloody struggle between Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Muscovites, Cossacks, Turks and Tatars culminated in the Union of Lublin in 1569, uniting the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This crucial period in Polish military history saw the introduction and development of famous troop categories such as the Polish hussars, and a tactical transformation with the introduction of foot and mounted hand-gunners to replace crossbowmen. Drawing upon a wealth of sources, the author explains Polish armies' methods of recruitment; their organizational structure, and that of units of different troop categories; their weapons, armour and equipment; and their strategies and tactics. In this engaging book, specially commissioned artwork and rare illustrations combine with authoritative text to bring this under-researched subject to life for an English-language audience.

Die Trying
Do you believe in fate? When Jemma leaves husband Adam for another man, his world shatters. Desperate to regain control, Adam turns to the glass die he once used to make every decision. Meanwhile, Jemma's lost her sense of self. Every choice she makes is tempting her to risk everything to find her spark again. At first, it's just a game. Adam's die becomes the centrepiece of a wellness podcast he starts with an old friend. But when interest spreads online and others are drawn into its dangerous orbit, Adam's obsession takes a darker turn. As his painful past threatens to overturn the present, Adam loses his grip on reality and one final roll could decide everything – life, death, or the illusion of choice itself… DIE TRYING is an addictive, twisting pageturner that asks how far we'll go when we gamble with fate, and the devastating impact a single decision can unleash.

Angry Girls Will Get Us Through
In her first book for young readers, New York Times bestselling author and New York magazine writer-at-large Rebecca Traister draws material from her award-winning books and articles to show girls their anger has the power to be a force of change, just like for many trailblazers before them.From an early age, young girls are taught anger isn’t an emotion they should express. They’re told—either implicitly or explicitly—to spend their lives keeping their fury locked inside for the benefit of others. But partly, Traister argues, that’s because the anger of women and girls has been a crucial catalyst for change, putting in motion some of the most defining social and political movements in our nation’s history. And it’s that anger that will blaze the path forward for the future. Traister chronicles a concise history from the colonial era to the Women’s March of 2016 demonstrating how women’s rage has forged coalitions and created political change through movements for women’s and civil rights and more, and how the past decade has created an inflection point for women and girls who have yet to experience rights equal to men’s in the United States.
God is an Englishman
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025'Allows us to understand the profound, and often profoundly beneficial, impact of Christianity' Anthony Seldon'Superb ... Lively and erudite' The Telegraph'Tremendous ... The arguments are truly profound' The Spectator'A finely judged and beautifully written account' Peter FrankopanChristianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being los? ijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, in areas ranging from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its influence, he contends, has been enormous, largely benign, and shouldn’t be lightly abandoned. Ending with a rousing call to retain Christianity, rightly understood, as a way of dealing with both the eternal questions of the human condition, as well as the malaises of modernity, this is an erudite and tender tribute to our Christian history and heritage.

A Time to Hide
When Grete and Julius fell in love, they planned to build a new life together in Germany, near their families. They never thought they’d be forced to wear yellow stars for everyone to identify them as Jews, use forged papers with fake names, or hide in a stranger’s attic in Holland—with their newborn baby just downstairs, in plain sight of the Nazis. Author Marion Seidemann Fredman chronicles the story of her parents’ experience through the horrors of World War II and how they survived by taking life into their own hands. Each page weaves a story of its own through historical papers, photographs, documents, and other pieces saved and passed down from one generation to the next. Combined with gorgeously painted artwork by nationally acclaimed author and illustrator Elisa Kleven, the effect renders a uniquely poignant depiction of Jewish life during the Holocaust. Also included at the back is a glossary and an author’s note. From leaving home for temporary safety in Holland, finding help from brave, self-sacrificing individuals, and defying incredible danger to have a baby when surrounded by enemies, Seidemann’s story serves as a powerful reminder of a past not too long ago and the importance in keeping stories and memories alive.
Mischlinge
A FORGOTTEN MANUSCRIPT. A FAMILY SECRET. AND THE URGENT NEED TO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE CHILDREN HITLER WANTED DEAD. THE TRUE STORY OF THE MISCHLINGE. Mischling (plural: Mischlinge): a cruel, derogatory term created by the Nazi regime to brand those of 'mixed blood'; children born to both Jewish and Aryan parents and grandparents. A word designed to degrade, divide and deny humanity. Berlin, 1935. A knock sounds at the Bernstein family's door. Eight-year-old Edie answers it to two Gestapo officials, who issue an unthinkable ultimatum; Edie's mother must divorce her Jewish husband – for the supposed 'protection' of her children. They hear the word Mischlinge for the first time. And from that moment on. it becomes a stain that seeps into every corner of their existence. Teachers and classmates gradually turn against Edie and her big brother Heini. Neighbours begin disappearing in the night. With each passing day, the circle tightens – until there is no safe place at home or on the streets. As antisemitic laws multiply and people around them disappear, Edie and Heini are dragged into a world of interrogation, surveillance and fear. Every knock at the door threatens separation. Every whisper risks arrest. Yet even as the Nazis close in, Edie and Heini refuse to let go of one another. 'Perhaps the most remarkable untold history of the Holocaust. Sharon Ring has done her mum proud with this brilliant – and utterly terrifying – story. A story so unlikely that it reads like a novel – yet every word is true.' – Rory Clements
