Osamělí hrdinové
Všichni jsme výjimeční. Když najdeme své autentické já, konečně budeme šťastní. Úspěch a životní spokojenost si musíme zařídit sami, nikdo to za nás neudělá. Máme právo žít si život po svém.
Kolikrát jsme už takové poučky slyšeli a denně slýcháme… Jsou to všechno dobře znějící rady, ale jako spousta dobrých rad i ony mají svůj háček: nakonec budeme na všechno sami. Pavel Pospěch se v knize Osamělí hrdinové věnuje stále významnějšímu fenoménu individualismu a hledá jeho společenské kořeny a dopady na náš každodenní život. Vysvětlení, která nabízí, nejsou generační, psychologická ani technologická, nýbrž sociologická. Za nárůst posedlosti sebou samými nemohou ani zhýčkané mladé generace, ani všudypřítomné sociální platformy. Individualismus je produktem specifické kultury, v níž jsme vychováváni od dětství a vězíme v ní hlouběji, než bychom si mysleli. Kultura individualismu z nás dělá osamělé hrdiny vlastních životů a stále více nám znemožňuje žít smysluplný život s lidmi okolo nás.

Sladkobol
Román o knihách, přátelství, velké lásce a o tom, že ne všechny sny by se měly vyplnit
Charlie je třiadvacet, je single, bydlí s kamarády a začala pracovat jako asistentka v nezávislém londýnském nakladatelství. Richardovi je šestapadesát, je ženatý, má luxusní byt v Londýně i sídlo na venkově a jeho romány ovlivnily celou generaci. I pro Charlie znamená Richard mnoho — kromě literárního vzoru také připomínku zesnulé matky, která jeho knihy milovala.
Když se tihle dva poprvé setkají, přeskočí jiskra. A Charlie ohromeně sleduje, jak se z ní stává plamen — žhavý, silný a všepohlcující. Od začátku chápe, že tenhle vztah nebude snadný a že mu bude muset hodně obětovat. Neustálé tajnosti, skrývání se, hlídání si každého slůvka, mlžení i před nejbližšími přáteli. Mezi ní a Richardem však panuje výjimečné pouto, které za tohle všechno stojí. Oni dva jsou přece něco víc než jen mladičká dívka ohromená aurou slavného muže a spisovatel poblázněný fanynkou plnou obdivu. Nebo ne?

Císař Karel IV. - Postrach světa
V nejnovější biografii českého krále a římsko-německého císaře Karla IV. autor pojímá 14. století jako dramatické období, plné politických a hospodářských krizí, kulturního neklidu a hledání nového funkčního způsobu správy římsko-německé říše v severní Itálii, jižní Francii a v Německu, jenž vyvrcholil přijetím Zlaté buly v roce 1356. Kniha je založena na důkladné znalosti a mistrné interpretaci vyprávěcích a diplomatických pramenů, stejně jako na kritickém přístupu k dosavadnímu, téměř nepřebernému historickému bádání.
Rader nahlíží osobu Karla IV. komplexním způsobem, přičemž důraz klade jak na jeho říšskou vládu, tak na její propojení se strukturálně zcela odlišným panováním v českém království. Mnohem více než dřívější bádání klade důraz na skutečnost, že Karel začal programově budovat novou říšskou rezidenci v Praze a s Prahou spojoval budoucnost římsko-německé říše. Stejně tak si všímá císařovy podpory a mecenátu umění a vzdělání. Zároveň však nijak nezamlčuje ani temné stránky Karlova politického života, jeho čirý pragmatismus, podíl na pronásledování kacířů a vypočítavý přístup k židovskému obyvatelstvu v mnoha německých městech.

The Bear and the Seed
A gorgeously lyrical folktale about the importance of protecting our environment by Greenaway-shortlisted Poonam Mistry.
Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants, and trees that tower up to the sun. One night, the trees and plants disappear and when the animals wake up, they begin to flee the forest in grief.
But when Bear finds a lonely seed, he works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He shades it from the harsh wind and cold snowy season, but nature's power is unavoidable and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that by the time he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew.
British Gardens
What do our gardens say about us?
Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.
Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.

To the Moon and Back
Steph Harper is on the run.
When she was five, her mother ran - with Steph and her younger sister in tow - from an abusive husband into the arms of a small Cherokee community, where she hoped they might finally belong.
But Steph soon sets her sights as far away as she can get, vowing that she will let nothing interfere with her dream to become an astronaut, and ultimately, to go to the moon.
In Steph's certainty that only her ambition can save her, she will stretch her bonds with the three women who know and love her most dearly: her younger sister Kayla, an artist whose determination to appear good takes her life to unexpected places; her college girlfriend Della, who strives to reclaim her identity as an adult after being removed from her family as a young girl through a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, who has held up her family's history as a beacon of inspiration to her kids, all the while keeping the truth about her own past a secret.
Told through these women's interwoven lives, and spanning three decades and several continents, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel of mothers and daughters, love and sacrifice, alienation and heartbreak, terror and wonder. At its core, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths one woman will go to find a little space for herself.

As the snow cuts Skerry off from the rest of the world, Dorothy agrees to look after the child – and finds herself thrown together again with Joseph, after years of keeping their distance…
Zahrada prostřená
Tahle kniha je křížencem kuchařky, krásné literatury a romantického vyznání jedné divotvorné zahradě v historickém jádru jihomoravského Mikulova. Kromě několika odrůd vinné révy, dvou fíkovníků a třiceti keřů růží v ní roste i spousta voňavých bylin a jedlého plevele. A všechny je potřeba poznat a ochutnat. Z hrnců se line vůně levandule, šeříku a damašských růží, v kastrolu probublávají závitky z vinných listů a na kamnech se suší fíky.
Z lyrické procházky polodivokou pálavskou zahradou v doprovodu svérázného domorodého průvodce, který rozumí tajemství dřeva a řeči přírody, vzešly dva tucty receptů, podle nichž zvládne uvařit každý.
The Age of Diagnosis
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn.
Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients.
Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.

State Matters
Why does the state matter to its people? How do people know and experience the state? And how did the state come to be both desired and dreaded by its subjects? This study offers a historically grounded social theoretical account of state consolidation in Iraq, from the foundation of the country as a League of Nations British Mandate in 1921 through to the post-2003 era. Through analysis of key historical episodes of state consolidation (and fragmentation) during the past century, Nida Alahmad argues that consolidation rests on two sequential and interdependent factors. First, domination: the state's capacity to dominate land and population. Second, legitimation: whereby the state is accepted and expected by the population to be the final arbitrator of collective life based on common principles. Moving between intellectual traditions and disciplines, Alahmad demonstrates that a theorization of state consolidation is a theorization of the modern state.
