Tehran Diaries : Dispatches from Iran under Siege
Over Iran, the sky is falling in. The US-Israeli bombardment has begun: there are bodies beneath the rubble. The Ayatollah is dead. The guards have abandoned the prisons. The rain is black with fuel; it burns the skin and the streets.
In this searing and contemplative work, writer, academic and Tehran resident Raha Nik-Andish documents life in the Islamic Republic in the days and months leading up to "Operation Epic Fury." In a rarely-seen portrait of a regime in freefall, this is Tehran on the brink; the crushed protests over the collapse of the currency; the taxicabs circling the city for work; the burned out garbage cans and the taped-up windows.
What does it mean to exist under siege? Or repression, blackout and total fear? How do you get the message out? Piercing, poignant and delicately observed, this is the vital story of a city at the end of the world - and an act of witness against darkness.

Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat
A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt.
Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra.
Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967
The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967
In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated.
Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization.
This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

From this moment, his second chance begins. Over the course of the year, Hai's story takes new and unexpected turns, as his life-altering bond with Grazina transforms his relationship to the community, his family and, most powerfully of all, to himself.
Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti - deník a pracovní sešit
Co kdyby skutečnou příčinou vašeho utrpení nebyly vnější okolnosti, lidé ani minulost nebo budoucnost, ale vaše vlastní myšlení?
Kniha, kterou máte před sebou, přináší radikálně jednoduchý a zároveň hluboký pohled na lidskou psychiku: myšlenky jsou samy o sobě neutrálními informacemi a teprve přemýšlení o nich vytváří bolest a vyvolává strach, pochybnosti a úzkost.
Deník a pracovní sešit Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti nabízí srozumitelné a okamžitě použitelné techniky ke zklidnění mysli a postupného zbavení se duševního utrpení. Je praktickým průvodcem pro každého, kdo se cítí zahlcen tlakem, stresem či nároky současné doby a hledá jednoduchou, ale účinnou cestu k osvobození se od mentální bolesti.
Velkou inspirací je přístup Josepha Nguyena, autora knihy a mentora zaměřeného na osobní transformaci a vnitřní svobodu. Spisovatel je známý svým důrazem na jednoduchost a praktičnost – učí, že skutečný klid nevzniká změnou okolností, nýbrž změnou vztahu k vlastním myšlenkám. Jeho práce vychází z principu, že utrpení je často výsledkem nepozorovaných mentálních vzorců, které lze vědomě opustit. Díky jeho přístupu pochopíte, že klid není něco, co musíte složitě hledat, ale přirozený stav, k němuž se můžete navrátit.
Pokud toužíte po větší životní rovnováze, lepším spánku a svobodě od přetížení, právě držíte v rukou první krok ke změně.
Rosslyn Chapel Revealed
‘Like Rosslyn itself, this book is rather delicious and I would urge anyone with an interest in the Scottish religious sensibility to read it.’ - Gerard CarruthersRosslyn Chapel Revealed offers the reader an increased understanding and respect for one of Europe’s finest pre-Reformation buildings. Rosslyn Chapel, with its foundations in the world of nature, still points bravely to the heavens. That there is mystery at Rosslyn Chapel, there can be no doubt. But it is not the mystery of the esoteric Gnostic variety, available only to the initiated few. Instead, it is knowledge, accessible to all, of the dynamic intertwining of the created world with the impulse towards self-fulfilment. Rosslyn Chapel Revealed shows that the chapel is first and foremost a Christian building, constructed in the traditions of the pre-Reformation Church for the celebration in word, gesture and music of the Divine Office and of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ suffered on his cross for the salvation of the human race. The stunning beauty of the chapel, its unexpected delicacy and the uninhibited humour of its stone carvings, which have drawn visitors in such avid numbers from all over the world, are a tribute to the honesty and validity of the religious experience to be found within its ancient walls, in a breathtaking setting of valley and river that is older than time. ‘This lovely book is a counter to some of the silliness of recent years … an excellent and comprehensive introduction and a super memoir for anyone who has visited.’ - Maria Western, Inspires
