The Story Bridge
A new picture book from celebrated Romani storyteller Richard O’Neill about how the power of stories can help us recognise our shared humanity. Two small towns, on opposite banks of the same river, want nothing to do with each other. No one knows why; that’s the way it’s always been. It’s only when a group of Travelling craftspeople arrive that questions are asked and things begin to change. Shared tales, dances, and food, together with an old storycoat, spark curiosity among the townspeople. Gradually, almost magically, the children of both towns realise that they have more in common than what keeps them apart. By the time the Travellers leave, a bridge has been formed to join the two communities forever. And the storycoat has a new story to tell.

A-Z of the Forest of Dean
With its own traditions and strong sense of identity and independence, the Forest of Dean appears as a separate, almost secret, part of Gloucestershire. Some of its ancient history has only recently come to light, after lying hidden beneath the forest canopy for millennia, but its more recent past also evokes surprise and wonder. Local author David Elder takes the reader on an A-Z tour around the region’s history, uncovering the stories of its buildings, famous (and infamous) sons and daughters, natural features and fascinating old routes and thoroughfares. From its highest point, once known as Yarleton Hill, to the shores of its two vast rivers, we discover hidden places, many mentioned in the Domesday Book, characterful rocks and ancient trees. Alongside freeminers, rebel leaders, trades union rights campaigners, community doctors, composers, poets and pioneering metallurgists we find enterprising members of a family who gave their name to the household brand of a famous malted drink, and a wealthy merchant and, later, Lord Mayor of London immortalised in folklore.A-Z of the Forest of Dean reveals the history behind the area, its towns and villages, industries and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous historical connections, are unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this spectacular corner of England.
Shrines, Relics, and Saints
In Shrines, Relics, and Saints,the eminent medievalist André Vauchez explores the evolution of spaces in Christianity – chapels, monasteries, holy wells, grottos, and other holy places – that are considered sacred because they house the relics of a saint or because they preserve the memory of an appearance by a saint, angel, or the Virgin Mary. From famous sanctuaries that still attract multitudes of pilgrims – in Jerusalem, Rome, Tours, Assisi, and Compostela – to local shrines in villages, towns, and wild places across the continent, these sanctuaries were frequented by pilgrims in search of miraculous healings of body and soul. Together, they formed a network comprising new forms of sacredness and spiritual practice. A masterwork in the history of Christianity, Shrines, Relics, and Saints traces pilgrimage routes to major sanctuaries, follows saints' relics as they were transferred from East to West, and examines the Church's ambiguous and sometimes antagonistic relationship to sites of popular worship.

A Theology of Creation
This book provides the first sustained philosophical treatment of Pope Francis's Laudato Si' and articulates a theology of creation to recover our place within the cosmos. In the encyclical Laudato Si', Pope Francis discerns beneath the imminent threat of ecological catastrophe an existential affliction of the human person, who is lost in the cosmos, increasingly alienated from self, others, nature, and God. Pope Francis suggests that one must reimagine humanity's place in the created cosmos. In this ambitious and distinctive contribution to theological aesthetics, Thomas S. Hibbs provides the basis for just such a recovery, working from Laudato Si' to develop a philosophical and theological diagnosis of our ecological dislocation, a narrative account of the sources of the crisis, and a vision of the way forward. Through a critical engagement with the artistic theory of Jacques Maritain, Hibbs shows how certain strains of modern art both capture our alienation and anticipate visions of recovered harmony among persons, nature, and God. In the second half of the book, in an attempt to fulfill Pope Francis's plea for an "aesthetic education" and to apply and test Maritain's theory, Hibbs examines the work of poets and painters. He analyzes the work of poets Robinson Jeffers and William Everson, and considers painters Georges Roualt, a friend to Maritain, and Makoto Fujimura, whose notion of "culture care" overlaps in suggestive ways with Francis's notion of integral ecology. Throughout this tour de force, Hibbs calls for a commitment to an "ecological poetics," a project that responds to the crisis of our times by taking poets and painters as seriously as philosophers and theologians.
Divoká Moruša
Hlboko ľudský a emotívny príbeh troch generácií zo súčasného slovenského vidieka.
Keď Benjamín Hank dorazí do Moruše, má jasno – je to koniec sveta, kde čas zastal a sny dávno vyhasli. Prišiel sem po tri podpisy, aby jeho otec, mocný developer, mohol na mieste starého ranča postaviť luxusný hotel.
Lenže Moruša nie je taká prázdna, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá.
Dve tajomné stareny ho varujú pred miestnymi ženami a „malé dievčatko“ mu cestou nečakane prezradí, že Iris neznáša realiťákov.
Kto sú ženy z Moruše? A čo skrývajú?
Na poslednú chvíľu sa Ben rozhodne zmeniť taktiku. Namiesto rýchleho obchodu zostáva na ranči o čosi dlhšie – netušiac, že tým otvára dvere príbehu, ktorý ho hlboko citovo zasiahne a navždy zmení. Čarovné miesto a jeho obyvateľky si ho nenápadne, no neodvratne podmania a Ben zistí, že nie všetko na svete je na predaj a že existujú ženy, ktoré sa nedajú zlomiť.

Battles of the Bible Illustrated Atlas
Sitting on the edge of empires, for more than 2000 years before the birth of Christ the Biblical lands were fought over by rival peoples – Canaanites, Philistines, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. Forming a land bridge between Eurasia and Africa and controlling access to the eastern Mediterranean, the territory that today makes up much of the modern state of Israel has proved a tempting prize for a wide array of would-be conquerors. Battles of the Bible Illustrated Atlas introduces 20 key battles from the Biblical era. Beginning with the Israelites’ campaign against Ai (1407 BC) and finishing with the siege of Masada (73 AD), examples from every major campaign are featured. The book contains the major Hebrew leaders such as Saul and David, the invasion of the Assyrians and the enslavement of the Israelites by the Babylonians. Each battle includes a contextual introduction, a description of the action, and an analysis of the aftermath. A specially-commissioned map illustrating the dispositions and movement of forces helps the reader grasp the course of the battle. Authoritatively written and with more than 200 maps, artworks and photographs, Battles of the Bible Illustrated Atlas is an essential companion for anyone interested in Ancient military history.

Native American Wisdom
“What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”— Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Founded on stories and myths told orally, the wisdom of Native American peoples has been passed down through generations, revealing the origins of a tribe, chronicling the heroes who fought the gods, showing how to reach Wakan-Taka(the Great Spirit), exploring the nature of the True Peace and reflecting on the changing landscape with the arrival of European settlers. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Native American Wisdom offers more than 80 thought-provoking proverbs on the spirit world, family, fathers and sons, animals and plants, and the changing seasons, in the words of the people who have inhabited the North American continent for thousands of years – the Iroquois, Algonquin, Cheyenne, Hopi, Dakota and Sioux – to name a few.

Milena a Margarete
Když se v roce 1940 v koncentračním táboře Ravensbrück poprvé setkaly Milena Jesenská a Margarete Buber-Neumann, vzniklo mezi nimi intimní pouto. Milena – první překladatelka Franze Kafky a jeho epistolární láska – byla výraznou novinářkou a otevřenou odpůrkyní fašismu.
Nekonvenční, bisexuální feministka předběhla svou dobu a po okupaci Československa se její byt stal útočištěm pro židovské uprchlíky.
Margarete, Němka ze středostavovské rodiny, se nejprve provdala za syna filosofa Martina Bubera. Později ji však pohltila atmosféra bolševické revoluce a po boku svého druhého partnera, komunisty Heinze Neumanna, se ocitla v jejím víru. Neumann byl v Moskvě označen za „politicky nespolehlivého“ a zahynul během Stalinových čistek. Margarete sama byla poslána do sovětského gulagu a po dvou letech vyměněna Stalinem Hitlerovi – tak se dostala do Ravensbrücku, jediného nacistického tábora určeného výhradně pro ženy.
Milena a Margarete se milovaly s vědomím, že za to mohou zaplatit životem. V poválečných svědectvích však byly lesbické vztahy stigmatizovány, a tak přeživší mlčely. Kniha otevírá jeden z příběhů, které byly po desetiletí potlačovány, a vzdává hold dvěma mimořádně silným ženám, jejich odvaze a nezdolnosti.
Jak později napsala Margarete: „Byla jsem vděčná, že mě poslali do Ravensbrücku, protože právě tam jsem poznala Milenu.“
Psychoactive Plants & Fungi
From biochemistry to myth, medicine and meaning - discover the species that shaped rituals, rewired minds and transformed societies.
What connects Siberian shamans, Amazonian healers, medieval monks and Silicon Valley biohackers? Why have humans across every culture sought out plants that alter perception, mood and consciousness? And how did humble species like the betel leaf or kanna come to shape entire rituals, economies and belief systems?
Psychoactive Plants & Fungi is a vivid, accessible introduction to 42 remarkable species that have captivated, healed and transformed people throughout history. From everyday stimulants like coffee and tea to rare ceremonial plants like iboga or kola nut, each profile explores the cultural origins, traditional uses and mind-altering effects of these botanicals - many of which remain central to spiritual practices, social customs and even modern wellness trends.
Richly illustrated and global in scope, the book brings together folklore, pharmacology and anthropology to show how psychoactive species have shaped human experience - both ordinary and extraordinary. This is not a field guide or a how-to manual, but a cultural companion for the curious reader: part ethnobotanical history, part celebration of our long and complex relationship with the plant and fungi kingdoms.
