"There may be virtue on the road to salvation. It all depends on who you go with..."After Jamie and Matt are caught swindling money from their City of London firm, they set out on a chaotically comedic road trip, in an attempt to recoup their illicit earnings and pay off a gangland debt.

Will they reach Shetland in time to save their necks? Or will their journey go morally south and end in disaster?
A Guidebook to Ethical Spiritual Travel
Rooted in ancient traditions, spiritual journeys have long served as powerful catalysts for self-reflection, cultural understanding, and personal growth. With an emphasis on the cognitive transformation that often accompanies such travels, this contributed volume provides both historical context and practical advice to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary spiritual tourism. A Guidebook to Ethical Spiritual Travel: Innovation and Global Insights synthesises age-old teachings with modern perspectives, offering readers a comprehensive framework for travellers on meaningful spiritual journeys. By presenting case studies and practical guidance, it encourages mindfulness and intentionality in travel, while addressing critical challenges like cultural appropriation, sustainability, and the commercialisation of sacred sites. Aimed at both academics and industry professionals, the international team of authors emphasises the importance of respect, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, fostering global empathy and personal transformation through well-guided spiritual exploration.
Academic Talk for Higher Education
Academic Talk for Higher Education brings together several current debates around oracy, dialogic teaching, and the role that academic talk can play in both widening access to higher education and creating more equitable learning opportunities. Exploring the notion that a focus on purposefully using academic discourse in university classroom settings can support students to better engage, argue, and connect with their learning, peers, and educators, Academic Talk for Higher Education examines the relationship between spoken language, equity, and academic preparedness for higher education, and provides a theoretical and empirical account of policy drivers and widening participation cohorts. Working with extensive prior research conducted by the authors focused on ‘alternative pathway’ teaching contexts—Enabling Education in Australia and Foundation Year Programmes in the UK—chapters draw on teachers’ perspectives and experiences of academic literacies to conceptualise the need for more explicit pedagogic focus on academic talk. Concluding with an agenda for both policy and practice to value academic talk as a vehicle for equity, the authors offer recommendations for how to explicitly embed academic talk into the higher education curriculum, and particularly in academic preparation contexts. This is significant at a time of great turbulence in the higher education sectors in both the UK and Australia, and when activities to support widening participation, retention and progression of all university students are needed more than ever.

Oheň svatého Antonína
Je počátek 15. století. Mniši v klášteře mají po modlitbách a pokojně pečou chleba. Jednoho z nich však svírají pochyby o vlastní víře. Když úpěnlivě prosí o Boží znamení, pocítí pálení po celém těle a mysl mu prostoupí psychedelické vize. Nastala snad jeho poslední hodinka? Zřejmě ho čeká smrt a setkání s Všemohoucím… Tak proč se vedle něj vznáší týpek v ušmudlaných kraťasech, s jednou ponožkou na noze a lenonkami na nose?
Oheň svatého Antonína přibližuje fenomén ergotismu, který způsobuje námel, přesněji paličkovice nachová, cizopasná houba parazitující na některých obilninách. Po požití se dostavují silné tělesné příznaky jako mravenčení a svalové záškuby, halucinace či delirické stavy. Ostatně právě z námelu švýcarský chemik Albert Hoffman v roce 1938 poprvé syntetizoval diethylamid kyseliny lysergové aneb LSD.

George Washington and Frederick the Great
How Frederick the Great and George Washington embody the competition between liberal democracy and authoritarianismBoth Frederick the Great and George Washington saw themselves as model rulers exemplifying different modes of enlightened governance. Frederick, absolute ruler of Prussia, styled himself as the embodiment of “enlightenment from above”; Washington, as the first president of the United States, held himself accountable to Congress, with the power of the presidency subject to checks and balances. In this unique study, Jürgen Overhoff traces the parallel lives of two of the most important and influential statesmen of the eighteenth century, from their early years to their ascension to political power and their historical legacies. Overhoff considers the significance of each man not only in the context of his own country but in the larger geopolitical space of Atlantic history. Overhoff describes how Washington admired Frederick’s actions during the Seven Years’ War (also known as the French and Indian War) in the 1750s, when Frederick allied with the British and North Americans. Later, Frederick was impressed by Washington’s leadership of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Prussia and the United States even signed a friendship treaty after the war. But, as Overhoff shows, the two men had very different ideas about the principles of the Enlightenment, monarchy, and democracy. Despite his Enlightenment bona fides, Frederick ruled Prussia by edict and decree, always with the goal of maintaining his own power. Washington famously stepped down after two terms in office. Overhoff argues convincingly that the political trajectories of Frederick and Washington shed light on the contemporary clash between authoritarianism and democracy.

After inheriting her mother's printing and party-planning business, Lacey Langdon moves back to her sleepy hometown of Willow Bluffs, perched on New Jersey's Palisades.

Out of One, Many
A sweeping new account of ancient Greek culture and its remarkable diversityCovering the whole of the ancient Greek experience from its beginnings late in the third millennium BCE to the Roman conquest in 30 BCE, Out of One, Many is an accessible and lively introduction to the Greeks and their ways of living and thinking. In this fresh and witty exploration of the thought, culture, society, and history of the Greeks, Jennifer Roberts traces not only the common values that united them across the seas and the centuries, but also the enormous diversity in their ideas and beliefs. Examining the huge importance to the Greeks of religion, mythology, the Homeric epics, tragic and comic drama, philosophy, and the city-state, the book offers shifting perspectives on an extraordinary and astonishingly creative people. Century after century, in one medium after another, the Greeks addressed big questions, many of which are still very much with us, from whether gods exist and what happens after we die to what political system is best and how we can know what is real. Yet for all their virtues, Greek men set themselves apart from women and foreigners and profited from the unpaid labor of enslaved workers, and the book also looks at the mixed legacy of the ancient Greeks today. The result is a rich, wide-ranging, and compelling history of a fascinating and profoundly influential culture in all its complexity—and the myriad ways, good and bad, it continues to shape us today.

Zrodení v krvi 1: Spútaní cťou
Aria Scuderiová sa narodila v jednej z popredných mafiánskych rodín v Chicagu a pokúša sa raziť si vlastnú cestu vo svete, v ktorom nemá na výber. Má len pätnásť rokov, keď ju rodičia zasnúbia s Lucom Vitiellom, najstarším synom šéfa newyorskej Cosa Nostry, aby zaistili mier medzi obomi rodinami. S príchodom osemnástych narodenín sa nebezpečne približuje deň, ktorého sa Aria roky tak obávala: deň jej svadby s Lucom. Aria sa sobáša s mužom, ktorého sotva pozná, desí, obzvlášť keď ide o Lucu, ktorý dostal prezývku Zverák za to, že niekomu holými rukami vykrútil krk. Luca je pre svoj vzhľad, bohatstvo a charizmu lovca, z ktorej srší moc, azda jedným z najžiadanejších mužov v New Yorku, no dievčatá z vyššej spoločnosti, ktoré sa mu vrhajú k nohám, nevedia to, čo vie Aria: že vyžarovanie zlého chlapca nie je iba hra, za Lucovými pôsobivými sivými očami a arogantným úsmevom sa skutočne skrýva krv a smrť. V jej svete sa za pekným zovňajškom často ukrýva netvor, netvor, ktorý vás môže rovnako ľahko zabiť, ako pobozkať. Jediný spôsob, ako uniknúť pred manželstvom s Lucom, by bolo utiecť a zanechať všetko, čo kedy poznala, lenže Aria nedokáže zniesť myšlienku, že by sa navždy rozlúčila so svojou rodinou. Aj napriek strachu sa rozhodne toto manželstvo uzavrieť. Aria medzi predátormi, ako je Luca, vyrastala a vie, že aj tí najchladnokrvnejší bastardi majú srdce, a má v úmysle si to Lucovo získať.
Dohoda ruží
Uchádza sa o ruku jedného brata
Zamiluje sa do druhého
Londýn 1848. Už štyristo rokov vládne Anglicku nesmrteľná vília kráľovná, ktorá sa na trón dostala ľsťou. Aby si udržala masku dobrotivosti, každému zo svojich poddaných ponúka možnosť uzavrieť s ňou dohodu a splniť si tak najtajnejšiu túžbu.
Keď sa Ivy Bentonová pripravuje na debut v spoločnosti, vie, že ani dohoda s kráľovnou by nedokázala napraviť všetko, čo sa v jej živote pokazilo. Povesť jej rodiny je poznačená škandálom a Ivy nemá takmer žiadnu nádej na výhodný sobáš.
Preto keď kráľovná oznámi súťaž o ruku princa Brama, Ivy neváha a spečatí svoju účasť vlastnou krvou. Záujem na jej víťazstve má aj nečakaný spojenec, princ Emmett, očarujúci brat princa Brama.
Lenže čím viac sa Ivy ponára do sveta oslňujúcich bálov, tajných dohôd a krutých skúšok, ktoré kráľovná pripravuje, tým jasnejšie si uvedomuje, že v tejto hre ide o oveľa viac než len o svadbu.
Pretože víly nikdy nedávajú nič zadarmo.
A každá dohoda má svoju cenu.

Sociálne siete musia byť zničené
Sociálne siete nám ubližujú ako jednotlivcom a kazia medziľudské vzťahy, rozkladajú spoločnosť a deformujú politiku.
Máme sa horšie, nerozumieme si a nedokážeme riešiť problémy, lebo sa nedokážeme dohodnúť ani na tom, ako vôbec vyzerá realita.
Výsledkom je oslabená spoločnosť, ktorá nie je schopná kolektívne konať a nedokáže sa ani brániť voči hrozbám.
Sociálne siete existujú necelé dve desaťročia a za ten čas zásadným spôsobom zmenili svet, v ktorom žijeme, aj spôsob, ktorým v ňom žijeme. Zmenili nás – k horšiemu.
Čo nám hrozí a čo potrebujeme? Čo v takejto situácii môžeme robiť a čo znamená, že sociálne siete musia byť zničené?

Rodičovstvo a úzkosť
Bojíte sa o svoje deti viac, než je zdravé? Analyzujete každé svoje rozhodnutie a v noci nespíte, lebo vám napadajú rôzne katastrofické scenáre? Nie ste v tom sami. Úzkosť sa navyše netýka len dospelých – často ju nevedome prenášame na svoje deti. Uznávaná psychologička Meredith Elkins ponúka v knihe Rodičovstvo a úzkosť citlivý, no zároveň praktický pohľad na to, ako úzkosť vzniká, ako ovplyvňuje vzťahy v rodine a najmä ako ju zvládnuť.
Autorka prepája poznatky zo svojej klinickej praxe s každodennou realitou rodičovstva a ukazuje, že snaha byť „dokonalým rodičom“ je jedným z hlavných zdrojov napätia. Čitateľom a čitateľkám pomáha identifikovať vzorce správania a ukazuje, ako upokojiť preťaženú myseľ a vytvoriť bezpečné, stabilné prostredie pre deti bez zbytočného tlaku a strachu. Táto kniha je sprievodcom pre všetkých rodičov, ktorí chcú vychovávať vedomejšie, s väčším pokojom a dôverou – v seba aj vo svoje deti.
