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.

Other Women
After dropping out of college, a young woman wanders through New York both invisible and vulnerable, studying the city's strong magic and longing for a man she knows will never love her back. Salvation appears to arrive when Charlotte Herzfeld, the young wife of a successful businessman, hires her as a live-in nanny to accompany the family on a trip to Berlin. As the Herzfelds begin to crack under the weight of their secrets, she finds herself in a more precarious position than ever before. Reflective yet propulsive, and told in a voice both ingenuous and insightful, Other Women is a timeless and all-too-relatable tale of unwise decisions and unfortunate fixations. This volume includes three new short stories and an introduction from Megan Nolan.
The Minor Arcana of the Tarot
Unlock the esoteric wisdom and hidden symbolism in the four suits of the Tarot’s Minor Arcana: Wands, Cups, Swords and PentaclesThis revolutionary guide offers a fascinating and structured exploration of the second half of the Tarot, which is often neglected in Western occult studies, revealing rich esoteric and philosophic significance. Unlike the more widely studied Major Arcana (discussed in Mebes’ The Encyclopaedia of Occultism), the Minor Arcana – comprising the four suits of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles – are often dismissed as mundane or purely practical. In The Minor Arcana of the Tarot, however, Mebes elevates them to a level of spiritual instruction, interpreting them as central forces in mystic study, rooting his teachings in Hermetic, Kabbalistic, and mystical Christian traditions. His systematic approach guides the reader clearly through each card of the four suits, including the court cards, encouraging meditative engagement with the cards, and emphasising their place in the wider Western esoteric tradition. Yury Pankratov’s clear and accessible translation from the original Russian is a must-read for any serious student or practitioner of the occult.
The Philosophy Friends
Beginnings are in the fabric of our souls. Struggling to come to terms with the death of her son in a drowning accident, fifty-year-old Caitriona decides to enroll in evening class in Practical Philosophy, hoping it will provide the perfect distraction to her grief. There, she meets two other women, Alva and Aedmar, whose lives have been equally impacted by tragedy. At thirty-eight, Alva has only recently escaped from an abusive relationship, and is desperate to have a baby of her own, knowing her biological clock is ticking. Meanwhile, soon to be seventy-year-old Aedmar is struggling to balance the needs of her husband, who has Alzheimer's, and her foster daughter's determination to find her birth family. As the three women get to know one another, their lives become increasingly interconnected, and they come to realise that no matter what life throws at them, the enduring power of female friendship will see them through.

The Winchester Constitutional Contribution 1070–1346
First among equals before the Norman Conquest, the ancient See of Winchester was soon overtaken by Canterbury, York and London following the defeat of the Anglo-Saxons at Hastings. Despite this, it retained its wealth and prestige through its geographical position and the bishop’s unrivalled proximity to kings at Westminster and archbishops at Lambeth – thanks to the diocese’s hold on the Thames’ south bank and its base at Southwark. This helped ensure that successive bishops were drawn from among the finest medieval administrators. Frequently serving as Chancellors or Treasurers of England, they had immense opportunity to influence the development of early English government. They played key roles in shaping an effective legal and financial system, in securing Magna Carta and in promoting an embryonic Parliament. A bishop of Winchester was present at most, if not all, major events under the Norman and early Plantagenet monarchs. The Winchester bishop’s removal of the hapless Edward II paved the way for the long and illustrious reign of his son, Edward III.
Monumental Lies
How the past is memorialized can have a dangerous influence on the future. Monumental Lies exposes the truths buried at contested heritage sites and demands that we safeguard the material evidence of history from both malign defenders and over-enthusiastic erasure. Robert Bevan challenges us to rethink our relationship with our contested spaces, from colonial statues and the physical legacy of fascism, to fake post-conflict reconstructions and ethno-nationalist narratives about beauty and tradition. He questions symbolic power and symbolic changes and explains why wording on a plaque is never a substitute for tackling problem monuments through artistic transformations at scale.

The Committee of Men
James Ciano’s debut collection, The Committee of Men, explores the cycles of violence men inflict on one another and themselves, examining how silence, shame, and inherited expectations shape masculine identity. Rooted in the speaker’s experience as a college athlete from a family of athletes—including a father who is a high school football coach—these poems confront the emotional weight of tradition and the often-unspoken struggles of male intimacy, mental illness, and familial pressure. Through sharp lyricism and emotional honesty, Ciano delves into themes of belonging and exile, accountability and forgiveness, and the quiet damage done by historically unexamined masculinity, asking what it means to break these generational cycles without severing connection, and how healing might emerge in places where vulnerability is discouraged or denied. The result is a collection that is both unflinching and deeply humane—an urgent, resonant debut that refuses to look away. The Committee of Men also includes a foreword by acclaimed poet David St. John, whose introduction situates Ciano’s work within a broader conversation about masculinity and poetic tradition, and underscores the collection’s emotional depth and significance.
Pravda pro život
Dobrá zpráva, která vás každý den posouvá blíž k Bohu.
Když čteme noviny, snažíme se porozumět naší společnosti, a když se díváme na své dějiny či budoucnost, potřebujeme Bibli, abychom si s tím vším dokázali poradit. Boží slovo je pravda, kterou potřebujeme, aby nás vedla každý den vezdejšího života a směrovala nás ke Kristu, v němž nacházíme skutečný život.
Kniha, kterou držíte v ruce je denní čtení, protože člověk nežije jen chlebem, nýbrž každým slovem, které vychází z Božích úst (Mt 4,4). Boží slovo nás denně sytí a je pro naše duchovní zdraví stejně nezbytné jako jídlo pro zdraví tělesné. Některé dny pro vás bude čtení Božího slova potěšením, zatímco jindy ho budete číst spíš z povinnosti, ale každý den to je důležité.
Boží slovo o sobě říká, že nám může dát „moudrost k záchraně skrze víru, která je v Kristu Ježíši“ a že tato Bohem vdechnutá slova jsou užitečná „k učení, k usvědčování, k napravování, k výchově ve spravedlnosti, aby Boží člověk byl takový, jaký má být, důkladně vystrojený ke každému dobrému skutku“ (2Tm 3,15–17).
Rozhodněte se tedy otvírat Bibli každý den (a když si uvědomíte, že jste polevili, prostě se k tomu zase vraťte), protože Boží slovo je živé a činné a bude ve vás působit mnohem hlouběji a zásadněji, než svými pocity můžete vytušit.
Boží řeč jsou slova, která potřebujeme. Proto je našim přáním, aby vám, milovaným Božím dětem, tato kniha změnila život, až vás k těmto slovům bude denně přivádět a Boží Duch vám bude skrze své slovo ukazovat Božího Syna.

Skrytá říše
ZRADÍ SVÉ KRÁLOVSTVÍ KVŮLI ZAKÁZANÉ LÁSCE?
V království Marmoris je magie zdrojem moci… a král Roan si ji bez slitování bere od vlastního lidu. Uprostřed této tyranie vyrůstá králova dcera Verena, dívka bez magického nadání, která je vězněná v paláci plném lží a krutosti. Jednoho dne se jí však podaří od svého nelítostného otce utéct. Osud ji zavede mezi rebely, kteří vzdorují králově tyranii a vybudovali si skrytou říši mimo jeho dosah. Netuší, že narazili na ztracenou dceru nenáviděného krále. Mezi nimi je i Dacre, syn vůdce povstalců, jenž má jistá podezření, ale neznámá dívka ho od prvního okamžiku nebezpečně přitahuje. Verena dostane na výběr: buď se přidá ke vzbouřencům, čímž zradí vlastní rod, nebo zaplatí životem. Jenže čím déle skrývá pravdu o svém původu, tím víc mezi ní a Dacrem roste neukojitelná touha. A právě ta může rozhodnout o osudu celého království...
Spalující romantasy, kde se láska prolíná se zradou a vášeň s nenávistí.

Nová cesta kocourka Chloupka
Je parné léto a Chloupek dostal zásadní úkol: donést svému dědečkovi speciální šroubky, které nutně potřebuje. Obstojí kocourek při této důležité pochůzce?
Nezačne to zrovna nejlíp: mapu, podle které putuje, mu maminka naškrábala dost lajdácky, takže se v ní nevyzná, v cestě mu stojí veliká řeka, přes niž se musí nějak dostat — a to celé je jen začátek dalších trablů. Chloupek je naštěstí nejen roztomilý, ale i pohotový a upřímný a díky tomu si všude dokáže získat přátele. S kamarády se totiž dá zvládnout leccos, i to, co zpočátku vypadá úplně nemožně. Stačí neztrácet naději a pozorně se dívat kolem sebe. V tom je nejen krásné poselství, ale i autorčin osobní životní postoj.
Jemně kolorované perokresby v sobě nezapřou asijský původ a autorčin vybraný smysl pro estetiku. V mnohém však připomínají i srdeční tituly našeho dětství. Je to zkrátka radostné knižní setkání pro děti i dospělé, kteří milují vytříbený knižní design.
První knížka o kocourku Chloupkovi získala na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni v roce 2024 zvláštní uznání v kategorii debut.
Pro děti od tří let.
Neboť ten čas je blízko
Tento slogan najdeme na billboardech i ve sci-fi filmech. Podtrhuje nervózní fascinaci naší společnosti budoucností. Konec světa je děsivá vyhlídka, ať už ho má mít na svědomí obrovský asteroid, celosvětová epidemie, nebo jiná globální katastrofa. Děsivá je zvlášť pro ty, kdo nevědí, jak to bude doopravdy.
Pro křesťany však konec světa nemá být děsivý. Můžeme se na něj naopak těšit. Proč? Bůh nám řekl, jak svět skončí. A ujišťuje nás, že konec tohoto věku bude počátkem nového, úžasného, v němž budeme sloužit Pánu a uctívat ho s bezhříšnou dokonalostí. Naše věčná naděje jako věřících je těsně spjata s koncem tohoto světa.
To vše je vyloženo v knize Zjevení. Zjevení je inspirované Boží slovo, ale je to také jediná novozákonní kniha, která slibuje duchovní požehnání těm, kdo studují její poselství a uplatňují ho v praxi. Je tedy nezbytnou součástí duchovního života každého křesťana. Ti, kdo Zjevení ignorují, se připravují o bohatý poklad Boží pravdy a zaslíbených požehnání, která nám její porozumění přináší. John MacArthur vysvětluje knihu Zjevení věroučně přesně a zároveň prakticky.
