Catuvellaunia and Rome: Economic and Political Relations during the Final Decades Pre-conquest
This study brings together the numismatic, textual, and archaeological evidence required to discuss potential economic collaboration between the powerful Roman client-kingdom of Catuvellaunia in southeastern Britain and the growing Roman military presence in northern Gaul during the decades before the Claudian conquest of Britain in AD 43 and the inevitable full annexation of Catuvellaunia by Rome as Britannia, a strategic asset. The main theme of the study centres on the grain-wealth of intensively cultivated productive chalk-land in southern Britain and the potential for its ready export to fulfil the growing needs of the military in northern Gaul, a damaged war-zone already limited in its agricultural productivity, during the decades BC-AD. Context for the study is provided by a series of related case-studies:- discussion of climatic conditions, agrarian systems, and models of grain production-consumption set the basic agri-economic parameters;- the logistics and problems of managing land-based, riverine, and maritime supply-lines servicing the northwestern frontier are discussed, with added context on contemporary settlement and shipping;- the position of Camulodunon in the context of other oppida, of Greater Catuvellaunia within the tribal structures in southern Britain, and of its role as an agent of cross-Channel trade, located nearest to Gaul, reflect its wider controlling regional power;- evidence from Celtic coinage, stylistic and inscriptional, provide a major source for essential discussion of tribal structures and lineages;- questions of military supply are outlined in detailed case-studies of two developing near-contemporary frontier-zones: the Tayside Militarised Zone [Scotland], and the Rhine frontier;- political aspects of clientship and annexation by Rome across the wider Empire provide interesting parallels.

Revoluce. Jak ženy na dvou kolech měnily svět
Od okamžiku, kdy se ženy poprvé vyhouply do sedla jízdního kola, už nic nebylo jako dřív. Kniha Revoluce britské autorky a cyklistky Hannah Ross přináší fascinující, čtivý a inspirující příběh o tom, jak se bicykl stal nástrojem svobody, vzdoru i sebeurčení. Ross ve své knize s lehkostí propojuje historii, společenský kontext i osobní příběhy žen, které se navzdory předsudkům rozhodly sednout na kolo – a tím změnily svět.
Ross sleduje, jak byl obraz ženy na kole odjakživa politický – ať už šlo o „nepatřičně sportovní“ rebelky v šatech, nebo profesionální závodnice, které dodnes bojují o rovné příležitosti. „Muž na kole je prostě muž na kole,“ píše recenzentka Guardianu, „ale žena na kole působí politicky, nezávisle, až pobuřujícím způsobem.“ Kniha je manifestem i poctou zároveň – bohatě zdokumentovanou historií ženského cyklistického hnutí i vášnivým vyznáním svobody, kterou ženy díky jízdě na kole získaly.
Co dnes bereme jako sport a vášeň, to bylo (a stále může být) inspirativní možností, jak zlepšit svět – a nalézt vlastní svobodu.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Founded in London in the 1880s by Freemasons, it was the world's most famous secret society. In this fresh, bracing narrative history, Felix John Taylor recounts its rise and fall through the men and women for whom the Order represented both an alternative to traditional Victorian religious values and a space for imaginative exploration.
Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors and visual artists to its ranks. It looked towards a 'golden age' of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals - class and gender were no barriers to entry - and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection that were gradually unveiled as members ascended ten 'grades'.
While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at various points more an arts club or society of writers. Political schisms and sex scandals ensured that it was short-lived, yet for many members its occult practices came to shape their work and influence the wider culture over a much longer period.
The Golden Dawn, with its role in the foundation of Wicca and modern developments in magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present-day occult revival. This visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history teases out these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.
Slepá místa medicíny
Myslíte si, že lékařská doporučení stojí na pevných důkazech?
Že když je slýcháme celý život a opakují je experti, musejí být správná?
Kéž by to platilo vždy.
Lékař a výzkumník Marty Makary přesvědčivě ukazuje, že i dnešní medicína má svá slepá místa. Tedy oblasti, kde se odborný konsenzus změnil v dogma, kde se přestaly klást otázky a kde špatné interpretace dat a tlak autorit vedly k chybám, na něž doplácejí celé generace. A možná zasáhly i vás.
Makary vás provede příběhy výzkumů, lékařských rozhodnutí a pacientů, u nichž zdravotní systém selhal – ne kvůli absenci důkazů, ale navzdory nim.
V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte:
- Epidemii alergie na arašídy nespustila příroda, ale oficiální zdravotní doporučení.
- Miliony žen přišly zbytečně o zdravé vaječníky, protože se dlouho ignorovalo skutečné místo vzniku rakoviny.
- Rutinní podávání antibiotik ničí mikrobiom a zvyšuje riziko obezity, astmatu, diabetu i duševních poruch.
- Vejce a cholesterol se nestaly obětním beránkem kvůli důkazům, ale vinou hlasitých jednotlivců.
- Hormonální substituční terapie může udělat pro zdraví žen nad padesát let víc než kterýkoli jiný lék v historii.
Tato kniha není útokem na vědu.
Je výzvou dostát jejím ideálům.
