The Chirk Castle Killings
A fatal shooting. A vulnerable eyewitness. DI Ruth Hunter and her partner, DS Nick Evans, must track down the killers before they find a key witness - a ten-year-old boy, Daniel.Ruth and Nick are called to a fatal shooting at Chirk Castle, a well-known tourist spot in North Wales. The only witness to the murder is Daniel, the ten-year-old son of the victim. Ruth discovers that the victim was a small-time drug dealer and it seems that his killing might be linked to stolen drugs. However, when a local girl is also brutally murdered, Ruth has to change the focus of the investigation as it is clear that the murderers will go to any lengths to cover their tracks.With the case now faltering, Ruth begins to suspect that the key to solving the murders actually lies in Daniel’s early childhood. Can she unlock the dark secrets of Daniel’s past before the killers catch up with him?
Love Letters of Kings and Queens
Tender, moving, heartfelt and warm (and sporadically scandalous and outrageous too), these are the private messages between people in love. Yet, they are also correspondence between the rulers of nations. From Henry VIII's lovelorn notes to Anne Boleyn and George IV's impassioned notes to his secret wife, to Queen Victoria's tender letters to Prince Albert and Edward VIII's extraordinary correspondence with Wallis Simpson - these letters depict romantic love from its budding passion to the comfort and understanding of a long union (and occasionally beyond to resentment and recrimination), all set against the background of great affairs of state, wars and the strictures of royal duty. Here is a chance to glimpse behind the pomp and ceremony, the carefully curated images of royal splendour and decorum, to see the passions, hopes, jealousies and loneliness of kings and queens throughout history. By turns tender, moving, heartfelt and warm (and sporadically scandalous and outrageous too), these are the private messages between people in love. Yet they are also correspondence between the rulers of nations, whose actions (and passions) changed the course of history, for good and bad. This morning I received your dear, dear letter of the 21st. How happy do you make me with your love! Oh! my Angel Albert, I am quite enchanted with it! I do not deserve such love! Never, never did I think I could be loved so much. Queen Victoria to Prince Albert (28 November 1839)

Weapons of Mass Deception
Mistrust of the democratic electoral process has become rampant among Americans, particularly Republican voters. This trend carries profound consequences: widespread disputes over election results and resistance to the peaceful transfer of power threaten to undermine the very fabric of American democracy. It is, therefore, essential to understand why mistrust is spreading. No analysis is complete without a thorough accounting of the role of right-wing media in US politics.Weapons of Mass Deception challenges the conventional wisdom that right-wing media outlets like Breitbart News and Fox News function primarily as news organizations, using empirical analysis to demonstrate how they more closely resemble political organizations. Analyzing nearly four million online articles published by thirty major right-wing media outlets, Yunkang Yang finds that disinformation consistently ranked among the highest engagement stories between 2017 and 2020. Internal emails, Federal Election Commission filings, legal documents, and conversations between right-wing media employees illuminate the organizational patterns and practices underlying this data. Yang highlights the risk of "privatized political patronage," as platforms pursue both profits and strategic political objectives on behalf of their funders, owners, managers, and political allies. He further reveals the complexities of the right-wing media sphere and argues that when these goals align across networks, they can form a powerful political machine capable of misleading millions of Americans.Ultimately, this book reveals how organizations spread disinformation for partisan aims by exploiting the credibility afforded to traditional journalism, and it lays the framework for understanding how disparate right-wing media outlets coalesce into a unified weapon of mass deception.

The Primordial Tradition of Ancient China
The first English translation of Taoist occultist Matgioi’s seminal work• Shares a deep understanding of the I Ching’s cosmological foundation• Offers the meanings of the straight and broken lines of the 64 hexagrams• Explains how the symbol of the yin-yang represents the individual’s destiny, including his emanation from, and reintegration into, PerfectionFirst published in French in 1905, and now translated into English for the first time, Matgioi’s book became the metaphysical core of the Traditionalist movement established by French occultist René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Ananda Coomaraswamy. Translator Joscelyn Godwin tells how Matgioi was initiated into a Taoist secret society and was given rare access to the perennial wisdom of that tradition. His work reveals the great antiquity of Emperor Fohi, who set down the cosmogonic principles upon which the I Ching is based and lived more than 2,000 years before Moses. Matgioi regarded Fohi as representing a school of sages unbound to any century since their wisdom is as old as humanity itself. The I Ching crystallizes a first and truest insight into the nature of reality from which the ancients derived a practical philosophy. Chinese traditionalists regard the I Ching as the first monument of consciousnes, and Matgioi explores it and equally important treatises by Fohi’s successors. In this book, readers will discover the divine nature of Chinese script, the relationship of logos and symbol, and the multiple shapes of the universe. Matgioi also explains how the yin-yang symbolizes one’s destiny and emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection. This key work echoes Emperor Fohi’s belief that the solutions to all questions can be found by bringing them back to their sources.

No hneď po príchode zistí, že dom v sebe ukrýva viac, než len stopy minulosti.

Rok 1646. Ursula, pôrodná babica a bylinkárka, vedie tichý život na okraji dediny. Bez manžela, bez ochrany, a to v čase, keď jediný šepot o čarodejníctve znamená rozsudok smrti. Keď si ju všimne mocný lekár, musí sa rozhodnúť, ako prežiť – a čo všetko je ochotná obetovať.
Dva ženské hlasy, jeden dom plný spomienok a sila, ktorá pretrváva stáročia. Pútavý historický román o tajomstvách, odvahe a osudovosti, ktorá nepozná čas.

My, čo zápasíme s Bohom
Jordan B. Peterson, celosvetovo známy klinický psychológ a autor bestsellerov 12 pravidiel pre život a Za hranicou poriadku, sa v tejto výnimočnej knihe púšťa do jedného z najodvážnejších projektov svojej kariéry – do hlbokého, psychologického a filozofického čítania najstaršieho príbehu ľudstva.
V knihe My, čo zápasíme s Bohom nás prevedie biblickým rozprávaním, ktoré formovalo západnú civilizáciu a aj naše chápanie dobra, zla, poriadku a chaosu: Adam a Eva a pád človeka, bratovražda Kaina a Ábela, Noachova potopa, zrútenie Babylonskej veže, Abrahámova skúška viery či Mojžišov zápas o slobodu.
Peterson skúma, prečo tieto príbehy vznikli, čo znamenajú z hľadiska psychológie, biológie aj kultúry a čo riskujeme, keď ich dnes odmietame ako bezvýznamné mýty. Ukazuje, že tieto naratívy predstavujú starobylé mapy ľudskej skúsenosti: od vzbury proti chaosu cez obetu až po osobnú transformáciu.
Toto dielo však nie je len interpretáciou Biblie, je to pozvánka na nové, hlboké zamyslenie sa nad samým sebou a nad vlastným životom. Kniha je určená pre každého, kto sa chce lepšie zorientovať v zložitosti moderného sveta prostredníctvom osvedčenej múdrosti najväčšieho príbehu všetkých čias.
