Quiet Ones
QuinnI've always had too many men in my life. My father, brothers, and nephews. They run this town, and although I've never given them a reason to worry, they treat me like I'm made of glass. They're wrong, though. I've got it all together - college graduated by twenty-one and a business owner with a perfect record. But I have one secret: I raced to grow up in case he ever came home. Lucas Morrow grew up with us, but he left when I was thirteen. I've waited and worked to be sure everything is perfect when I see him again. But I've waited years and maybe it's time to move on, get my own place and be my own person with new friends. It's summer after all and I am my brothers' sister. Did they really think the apple fell that fa? ucasShe thinks her family are the only men watching her. So innocent. And I want to keep her that way. Even though I'm twelve years older, we were always the odd ones out.. She gravitated to me, and I always made sure she wasn't alone. When I left, I told myself she'd be fine without me. But really, it was just an excuse to escape the guilt. I only meant to come back for a few days, but she's grown up, her brothers are distracted, and one bad decision after another is circling her. As well as old ghosts. And old enemies. She doesn't want a babysitter anymore, and if she ever finds out why I left town, she'll know why I'm not the best role model. But I'm still the older one. And she still needs supervision.

Songs of Expectation
This novel is inspired by a true story. London, 1881, and another party of child migrants sets sail for Canada, leaving behind all they know in search of a new life. Taken from the slums and workhouses of Britain, they are set to work as labourers and servants, building a nation in a foreign land. Among them is Mary Oliver, desperate to fulfil a promise she made to her dying father; Arthur Dilkes, to whom emigration is just another adventure; Sam Barney, who longs for a new family to replace the one he has lost; Margaret Walsh, who cannot forget the father she has left behind; and Lily, who does not even have a surname to call her own. All are unprepared for the prejudice and hostility they will face, and the obstacles they must overcome. All struggle to escape their pasts. Presiding over them and countless others is Alice Hamilton, obsessed with making her mark in a man’s world, whose mission to ‘save’ these children is called into question by a series of tragic events. A story of heartbreak and courage, Songs of Expectation shines a light on a shameful chapter in British history.

A Knife to the Heart
Gianni Angelini’s dedication, skill, resilience and adaptability have left an enduring mark on the field of cardiac surgery.

His steadfast leadership during the Bristol Babies Scandal reflected his deep commitment to patients and clinical excellence.

Honest, reflective and inspiring, it explores both mistakes and triumphs, offering rare insight into the human side of surgery. A Knife to the Heart reminds us that behind every mask lies a person with dreams, fears and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.

Don Whitney v knize Modlitby nad Písmem ukazuje, že se jedná o běžný problém, který však má snadné, trvalé a především biblické řešení. Na několika málo stránkách vysvětluje, jak při modlitbě používat Písmo, tak aby se stalo inspirací pro vaše modlitby a tím i posilou pro vaši duši. Přidejte se k němu a zažijte živé společenství s Bohem a opravdové potěšení z každého rozhovoru s ním.
Odvážní ve víře
Bible nám stále říká, že tento svět není naším domovem. Dlouhou dobu se však zdálo, že by jím být mohl. Naše kultura se ale mění – a začínáme si ve vlastní zemi připadat jako cizinci. Jsme v pokušení hněvat se, sklopit hlavu nebo to prostě vzdát.
Není to však poprvé, kdy Boží lid musí přijít na to, jak žít s důvěrou a vírou v prostředí, které se staví proti Božím cestám a proti Božímu slovu. Už jsme to dokázali dříve a můžeme to dokázat i dnes.
Alistair Begg nás se svou charakteristickou jasností, vhledem a vřelostí uvádí do doby proroka Daniela. Nevyzývá nás k tomu, abychom byli jako Daniel, ale spíše abychom důvěřovali Danielovu Bohu. Víme, že jsme spaseni vírou. Teď je čas naučit se být odvážní ve víře.
Alistair Begg je hlavním pastorem v Parkside Church v Clevelandu ve státě Ohio a učitelem Bible ve službě rozhlasového a on-line vysílání Truth For Life.

A Trick of Memory - Autobiografie kytaristy Jethro Tull
Autobiografie Martina Barreho nabízí otevřený a osobní pohled na život jednoho z nejvýraznějších kytaristů britské rockové scény. Autor mapuje svou hudební cestu od skromných začátků až po dlouholeté působení ve skupině Jethro Tull, kde se podílel na vzniku ikonických skladeb a alb. Barre čtenáře provází zákulisím koncertních turné, nahrávacích studií i proměn hudebního průmyslu. Svůj osobní život vykresluje jako cestu plnou hledání rovnováhy mezi hudební kariérou a soukromím. Otevřeně popisuje, jak bylo náročné skloubit intenzivní koncertování s rodinným životem a jak dlouhé odloučení ovlivňovalo jeho vztahy. Nevynechává ani období nejistoty, tlaku a pochybností, které přicházely ruku v ruce s úspěchem. Držitel ceny Grammy nám upřímně a se skromností odkrývá svou životní cestu nedílně spjatou s hudbou, ve které dosahuje technické preciznosti a citlivého, melodického projevu přecházejícího od jemných akustických pasáží až po výrazná kytarová sóla.

Plays Well with Others
Dating lessons from my American football-playing best friend? Sign me up!
At the glittery break-up party she throws for herself, Rachel Dumont envisions lifting a glass to celebrate being free and single again. What she actually does: Drink too much champagne and blurt out to her best guy friend that she'd really like to get back on the horse. She doesn't expect Carter Hendrix's answer to be to volunteer himself.
With his sinful brown eyes and too-good-to-be-true body, it'd be no hardship for Rachel to say yes, though she certainly doesn't want him to feel obligated to, um, service her just because her failed, loveless marriage was an s-e-x desert. But since the charming and confident professional American football star owes five public dates to his dating app sponsor, Rachel and Carter make a deal to help each other out.
Pretty soon, the public how-to-date lessons turn into, ahem, very private ones. And Rachel's a star student, graduating quickly from flirty banter and lingering looks to toe-curling, sheet-grabbing, mind-blowing hours of physical education. The problem? Turns out learning to date again feels a lot like the real thing.
Can Rachel and Carter's friendship withstand all these late-night bedroom sessions? Especially since she's suddenly longing for her best friend, and there's nothing fake about her feelings…
Fast Lane
He's the campus bad boy.
She's his neighbour's ex.
Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea?
Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached.
So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids - yet somehow impossible to ignore.
That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls.
Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by.
Pick this up if you love: opposites attract, frenemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, forced promixity, found family.
The Radiant Dark
It's March 1980, and Carol Girard and her husband are living an ordinary life in a small town in the Adirondacks. They have just had their first child, and though Carol is struggling with the challenges of new motherhood, her future seems clear. Until something extraordinary happens: an inexplicable flickering of light in the sky, which is ultimately determined to be communication from intelligent life on another planet. But these beings are eleven light-years away, and nothing is known about them other than the fact that they seem to know we exist too. And so begins a decades-long exchange of messages with this mysterious, faraway civilization.
As humanity reels from a shifting understanding of its place in the universe, we follow the stories of the Girard family: Carol, whose fascination with this other life sparks a desperate search for spiritual meaning; Michael, her loyal son, who finds solace not in the stars above his head but in the ground beneath his feet; and Ro, Carol's bright and ambitious daughter, whose childhood goal to work in interstellar communication will evolve into something far grander. Tracing five decades of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, The Radiant Dark is a stunning examination of a family navigating their lives with the knowledge that we are not alone.

Anatomie trpící duše
Moderní psychiatrie bývá spojována se jmény, jako jsou Sigmund Freud či Emil Kraepelin. Než se však psychiatrie stala univerzitní disciplínou a získala podobu vědy, jak ji známe dnes, prošla dlouhým obdobím hledání, experimentů i institucionálních proměn. Právě do této málo známé fáze vývoje, kdy se rodily první instituce určené pro péči o duševně nemocné a kdy se teprve utvářely základy moderní psychiatrie, se vrací tato kniha.
Publikace přináší první komplexní zpracování počátků psychiatrické péče v českých zemích mezi koncem 18. a 80. lety 19. století. Sleduje vznik a proměny raných „blázinců“, jejich organizaci, pacienty i lékaře, kteří stáli u zrodu nového oboru. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje pražskému zemskému ústavu, jeho filiálkám v Čechách i prvním moravským zařízením, stejně jako širším souvislostem vývoje psychiatrie v rámci habsburské monarchie a střední Evropy.
Kniha zasazuje dějiny rané psychiatrie do širších kulturních, sociálních a politických souvislostí. Ukazuje, jak se proměňovalo chápání duševní nemoci, jak vznikaly první klasifikace psychických poruch a jak se formoval nový odborný jazyk i instituce, které měly „šílenství“ diagnostikovat, léčit a zároveň kontrolovat. Na základě rozsáhlého archivního výzkumu tak přináší nový pohled na období, kdy se v českých zemích rodily základy moderní psychiatrické péče.
The Four Heavens
From the world-leading expert on the Maya, a monumental history of a flourishing civilization across three millenniaThe Four Heavens brings to life the cultural and visual splendor of the ancient Maya, drawing on the oldest indigenous texts of the Americas and the latest archaeological discoveries to present an entirely new history of this spectacular civilization. Renowned historian and archaeologist David Stuart, who has made groundbreaking contributions to the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics, shows how there was no single rise and fall of the Maya but a series of births and collapses over a breathtaking span of nearly three millennia. Maya history was seemingly lost forever when the first Europeans encountered the great ruins of ancient cities in what is today Mexico and Central America. Today, with the recent decipherment of their ancient writings, the story of the Maya can now be told from their perspective. Stuart traces the rapid emergence of permanent settlements in the rainforest, which gave rise to monumental architecture and a flourishing urbanism and ushered in the Classic period of Maya civilization beginning in the mid-second century CE. He reveals a world of majestic royal courts tightly bound together by marriages, shifting alliances, and warfare, much of it driven by the ambitions of two major dynasties, the Kanuls and Mutuls. Stuart describes how the long-standing rivalry between these two great houses shaped the fates of the surrounding kingdoms and may have set the stage for “the Great Rupture” of the ninth century, when the royal courts buckled under the weight of internal strife, social unrest, and environmental crisis, transforming Maya civilization yet again. With stunning illustrations, including many of Stuart’s own drawings and images, The Four Heavens is a work of momentous historical sweep, one that paints an unforgettable portrait of the Maya and the richly complex social, political, and cosmological worlds in which they lived.
