The Clockmaker and the Shrike
Upon her father's death, Caoimhe has no choice but to assume his role as the Clockmaker, despite having little knowledge of what his work entails. Confused but determined, she finds herself transported to a peculiar reality, where paintings act as portals, her friends walk into each other's dreams, and she wears the face of a bird in place of her own. In this strange, surreal world, Caoimhe meets the mysterious Shrike, a soldier whose dark past elicits more questions than answers. Drawn to him, and unable to tear herself away from this fantastical place, she soon becomes embroiled in a quest, after her new world is attacked by the Lord of the Dead. Even when nothing makes sense, the truth has a way of revealing itself. Yet the truth about the Clockmaker's world may be the strangest truth of all.
They Marched Under the Sun
Ana and Joan. The first, a woman of daytime, of the contemporary, bombarded by consumerism and the aesthetic and behavioral pressures of our times. The second, a woman immersed in the realm of the night, attuned to ancestralism, rites of passage, and the intuitions of her subconscious. Both are on the brink of turning eighteen, and their stories run in parallel, month by month, until their birthdays. But more than just a tale of the two young women's journeys, They Marched Under the Sun is a novel about violence, religious persecution, the loss of freedom and rights, as well as a statement on our need for ritual, dreams, and the resignification of bodies and social roles, conveyed in the author's vibrant and singular literary voice.
Disputing Disaster
In Disputing Disaster, Perry Anderson picks from the highly charged historiography on the First World War one leading historian from each of the major powers that survived the conflagration: Fritz Fischer, celebrated champion of German war guilt; Pierre Renouvin, a disabled serviceman and preeminent authority on the conflict in France; Luigi Albertini, the Italian newspaper tycoon who, unique among scholars of the Great War, played a part in pitching his country into it; Paul W. Schroeder, the American expert on the system of European interstate relations and its breakdown in 1914; Keith Wilson, the one radical deviant from a patriotic consensus about Britain's role in the outbreak of the fighting; and, from Australia (summoned into the war as a dominion), Christopher Clark, acclaimed author of The Sleepwalkers. Disputing Disaster offers a compelling analysis of the major competing versions of the genesis of the Great War; fresh light on the political background of its leading historians; and a novel synthesis of the determining pressures that brought the conflict to pass.

The Museum of Lost Dreams
Returning to her fractured past, a woman is determined to end a cycle of heartbreaks in a moving novel about family, sacrifice, and redemption by the bestselling author of The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves. When Bess Rollins’s parents die in a tragic accident, she is forced to abandon her dream job overseas. After three years away, she returns to her family’s estate in the Finger Lakes, a veritable monument to her brilliant late grandmother, and a reminder of the wreckage Bess left behind. There’s the guilt over leaving her younger twin siblings, Casey and Caleb, and she struggles to rebuild a bond that may be irrevocably broken. Amid the grief, resentment still looms toward her reckless and self-indulgent mother and father. And then there’s Luke Monticelli, the devoted man Bess walked out on but never stopped loving. Haunted by her regrets at every turn, Bess soon realizes that the past is far more complicated than she ever knew. With each secret that she uncovers about her family, Bess comes closer to healing their wounds, seizing a second chance at love, and fulfilling dreams that can lift them all—right here at home, where she belongs.

Love Wells Kept
He's forgotten their love story. She'll help him write a new one.
Jackson and Kate have been happily married for over ten years and live a beautifully chaotic life raising two young children on Wells Ranch. But when Jackson sustains a severe head injury that sends him into a coma, years of his memory are gone by the time he wakes. Doctors are confident it will return with time, but Jackson feels like a stranger in his own life. How can he have a wife and children but not know them?
Kate tries to remain strong for her family, but she secretly mourns the loss of the man she knew and fears he may never return. She leans on her Wells Ranch family, who she needs now more than ever. It's scary and difficult, but she won't give up on Jackson and their love, no matter how long it takes.
Despite early struggles, Kate and Jackson share tender moments that stir something in Jackson, even though he doesn't fully understand it. As more time passes, bits and pieces of Jackson's memories return, and he starts slowly rediscovering his instincts as a husband and dad. And though Jackson and Kate's love story may need a rewrite, they'll come to discover this new chapter might just be stronger than all the ones that came before.

Hesed, the Seed of the Biblical Story
The Hebrew word hesed is often translated as love, faithfulness, loyalty, or steadfastness of God, but it means so much more. Could hesed be the seed from which the diverse biblical story grows and expand? raditionally, Old Testament theology has focused on key themes or a "center" around which to organize the Old Testament. These approaches may help unify the Old Testament, but they also ignore important material and simplify the Old Testament's complexity and diversity. As an alternative to a gravitational center that reduces, Jennifer M. Matheny's argument emphasizes possibilities as she posits that hesed is the relational seed from which the complex and diverse biblical story grows. In her accessibly written analysis, Matheny engages theologically with the Torah, Prophets, and Writings to trace hesed's relational impact through the Old Testament. Through stories, poems, and songs of broken covenants, war, and exile, Matheny also shows how violence and injustice reign when humanity fails to be keepers and doers of Yhwh's hesed, while justice and hope prevail when humanity chooses courageous acts of hesed. This fresh, introductory-level approach emphasizes the importance of story, complexity, and diversity--and how we do hesed to others and back to Yhwh.
Britain's Armaments Industry in the Second World War
This is the history of Britain’s armaments industry during the Second World War. It begins with the rearmament before the war and shows how a shadow industry was prepared, in response to German aggression. See how industry was organised and programmed, before learning how armaments were researched, designed and developed. The narrative then looks at how enlistment was controlled, how skilled workers were deployed and how manufacturing was diluted, to allow tens of thousands of unemployed men and women to play their part. The story continues with an explanation of the importance of the coal and oil industries, followed by the development of the metal industries. It then looks at the huge amounts of imports and merchant shipping required, as well as the American Lend Lease programme. See how factories equipped the Royal Air Force, so it could fight the Battle of Britain, and reequipped the British Army following the disaster at Dunkirk. Also learn how the shipyards worked around the clock on warships and merchant ships, so the Royal Navy could defend the nation and protect the supply convoys. See how the lessons learnt on the battlefield helped modify early factory designs into practical ones. Learn how the war changed relations between the government, the employers, the unions, and the workforce. See how issues could cause widespread industrial unrest, as the cost of living rose and the rules became stricter. Also learn how the desire to improve production improved health and safety at work, welfare arrangements and developed management and human resources. We also see how the Luftwaffe attempt to cripple British industry with its aerial Blitz. The story ends with a nation being pushed to its limits for a second time in thirty years, before suddenly demobilising, again leaving the British people wondering what the future would hold for them.
The Battle of Cherbourg
In developing plans for the Allied invasion of France, from the very beginning, SHAEF planners considered the vital need to secure deepwater ports to bring in all the supplies needed to support an army of hundreds of thousands of troops. Cherbourg, at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, was the closest to the landing beaches chosen for Operation ‘Overlord’. The planners therefore decided to land forces at the base on the peninsula, in order to enable the rapid capture of Cherbourg, and also to widen the front of the landing. The First US Army was tasked to capture it as quickly as possible. In the early hours of June 6, paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions landed inland from Utah Beach to capture the beach exits, and secure the crossings over the Douve River at Carentan. On June 10, the 101st Airborne Division captured Carentan, thus liaising with the Omaha beachhead and ensuring the Allies a continuous front. This success allowed VII Corps to advance westward to isolate the Cotentin Peninsula. On June 18, the 9th Infantry Division reached the west coast of the peninsula, and within 24 hours, the 4th, 9th, and 79th Infantry Divisions advanced northward. Within two days, they were within striking distance of Cherbourg, but the German commander, Generalleutnant Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben, rejected a summons to surrender and began demolitions of the port. The VII Corps launched a general assault on June 22. Resistance was initially strong, but the Americans gradually drove the German defenders from their bunkers and pillboxes. Allied warships and cruisers bombarded the defences on the 25th, and the 79th Division captured Fort du Roule, which dominated Cherbourg and its defences, on the 26th. General von Schlieben surrendered the same day, and the port and arsenal capitulated on the 27th. Fregattenkapitän Witt, the port commander, escaped by boat to the Fort de l’Ouest, a bastion on the breakwater, and took command of the small forces holding this fort and the Fort du Centre. After two days of artillery hammering and several bombing raids, the two strongholds surrendered on June 29. The Battle of Cherbourg was over. In the battle for the Cotentin and Cherbourg, VII Corps had suffered over 22,000 casualties, while the Germans had lost 39,000 men taken prisoner, in addition to an unknown number killed. The early capture of Cherbourg was a major defeat for the Germans. In their plan to deny the Allies access to French ports, the German high command had anticipated that Cherbourg could hold out for several weeks (as Brest was soon to do). The capitulation of the Festung came much earlier than expected, and Hitler’s inner circle considered the fortress’s commander, General von Schlieben, a very poor commander. However, his engineers had carried out intensive demolition of the port, which was so thoroughly destroyed and mined that it was only put back into very limited use by mid-August. This, then, is the story of the capture of Cherbourg, the first Allied victory in Normandy, told through more than a hundred ‘Then and Now’ comparison photographs, which really bring history to life. You will thus be able to walk precisely in the footsteps of the heroes of this great moment in history.
Mosquito Special Operations in the Second World War
The Mosquito was the most successful battle-winning multi-role combat aircraft of the Second World War. It was introduced by the de Havilland Aircraft Company as an unarmed, un-interceptable, long range, high speed, high altitude medium bomber. An unarmed bomber without protective armament was a concept that ran directly contrary to the tactical doctrines of both the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Force. Notwithstanding, it was developed to carry out almost unlimited roles including ground-attack dive-bomber, anti-shipping strike aircraft, day, and night fighter, 'Pathfinder’ marking targets for a main heavy bomber force, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. There seemed to be nothing it could not be adapted to do with unmatched success. Its most important role was as a deadly long-range, low level precision ground attack fighter-bomber, ideal for 'special duties' operations. The book examines the crucial role of designers and engineers from drawing board to production and company support. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines it could carry the same bombload as four-engine heavy bombers but at much greater speeds and at altitudes from low-level to ultra-high. It was the combination of this performance with its prodigious range capability that made it a truly strategic weapon in air warfare, striking precision targets in the heart of Nazi-Germany and sapping morale. The text is of full of detailed and dramatic attacks from the aircrew point of view. “It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I run green and yellow with envy.”Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Aktualizácia III/1 2026 – Služby zamestnanosti a zamestnávanie
Hlavným cieľom nového zákona o rovnakom odmeňovaní mužov a žien za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty je transponovať do právneho poriadku Slovenskej republiky smernicu Európskeho parlamentu a Rady (EÚ), ktorou sa posilňuje uplatňovanie zásady rovnakej odmeny pre mužov a ženy za rovnakú prácu alebo prácu rovnakej hodnoty prostredníctvom transparentnosti odmeňovania a mechanizmov presadzovania. Napriek existujúcej právnej úprave zakazujúcej diskrimináciu v oblasti odmeňovania z dôvodu pohlavia pretrvávajú na Slovensku významné rozdiely v odmeňovaní mužov a žien. Z ekonomického hľadiska predstavujú rozdiely v odmeňovaní mužov a žien významnú stratu pre spoločnosť aj jednotlivcov. Neefektívne využívanie ľudských zdrojov a nedocenenie kvalifikovanej pracovnej sily žien vedie k zníženiu celkovej produktivity ekonomiky. Spravodlivé odmeňovanie môže prispieť k zvýšeniu motivácie zamestnancov, zníženiu fluktuácie a celkovému ekonomickému rastu. Súčasná právna úprava v oblasti rovnakého zaobchádzania, ktorá je obsiahnutá predovšetkým v antidiskriminačnom zákone a Zákonníku práce, síce zakazuje diskrimináciu v odmeňovaní z dôvodu pohlavia, avšak neobsahuje dostatočné nástroje na efektívne presadzovanie tohto práva v praxi. Zamestnanci a zamestnankyne často nemajú prístup k informáciám o úrovniach odmien kolegov vykonávajúcich rovnakú prácu alebo prácu rovnakej hodnoty, čo im znemožňuje identifikovať diskriminačné praktiky a efektívne uplatňovať svoje práva. Cieľom zákona je zaviesť systém transparentnosti odmeňovania, ktorý umožní efektívne monitorovanie a posudzovanie rozdielov v odmeňovaní medzi mužmi a ženami a ktorý zabezpečí, aby zamestnávatelia zaviedli štruktúry odmeňovania založené na objektívnych kritériách. Tieto kritériá musia zahŕňať zložitosť, zodpovednosť, namáhavosť, pracovné podmienky a ďalšie faktory, ktoré sú relevantné pre konkrétne pracovné miesto alebo pracovnú pozíciu, v rámci ktorých sa prihliada na mäkké zručnosti, ktorými sú najmä sociálne a komunikačné schopnosti, pričom tieto kritéria sa nesmú priamo ani nepriamo zakladať na pohlaví

4 Janes
Through time, space, and the transcendence of maternal love, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is reimagined in the parallel lives of one soul searching for meaning, connection, and a place to belong. Jane Eyre is a missionary’s wife. A bookseller in Vietnam. A time traveler. A hero in a modern gothic tale. What if Jane’s story didn’t end with her marriage to Edward Rochester? What if she never married him at al? n one lifetime, Jane travels to India and Burma as Mrs. St. John Rivers. In another, she’s Trang, a young woman selling books in Vietnam, vying for the love of the local priest. Yet another picks up where Brontë left her, now grieving the loss of her child and crossing time and space to find him. And finally, a young Vietnamese-American man searching for himself in Boston, a tutor whose relationship with a veteran feels strangely, achingly familiar…Each thread tells Jane’s story in sweeping, heartbreaking shades of loss, vulnerability, yearning, and the fierce love of mother and child that withstands time and space. While she may long for something more out of a life she didn’t get to choose, she can still decide what to make of it.

Tajuplné príbehy spod Nízkych Tatier
Hole, Alpes, Nižné Tatry... To je len časť pomenovaní pre pohorie, ktoré dnes poznáme ako Nízke Tatry. Ale vôbec nie sú nízke, veď ich najvyšší vrch, legendárny Ďumbier, sa týči do nadmorskej výšky 2 046 m. Tiahnu sa v dĺžke takmer sto kilometrov stredom Slovenska, oddeľujú údolia Váhu a Hrona. Sú súčasťou Karpát a majú všetko, čo k takému poriadnemu karpatskému horstvu patrí.
Divoké, hlboké hory odpradávna vyvolávali strach, obavy či nedôveru ľudí, ktorí sa usadili pod nimi. Na vrchy a do ich ľadovcových kotlov umiestňovali nadprirodzené bytosti. Postupne však začali horstvo osídľovať a využívať čoraz viac. Zažívali pritom množstvo dobrodružstiev. Pretože nemali výdobytky modernej civilizácie, svoje príhody, príbehy, fantazijné predstavy, ku ktorým hory prirodzene podnecovali, si po večeroch rozprávali či spievali, pretavili ich do množstva krásnych, úprimných výtvorov ľudovej slovesnosti.
Odkázali nám obrovské množstvo príbehov, smutných i veselých. Takých, aké ponúkol život v horách aj pod nimi. Nachádzame v nich nielen mnoho krásnych miest z pohoria i podhoria, príhod a udalostí, ale aj ľudí, od anonymných obyvateľov podhorských dedín až po historické postavy, akými boli Juro Jánošík, Jakub Surovec či náš najpopulárnejší kráľ Matej Korvín.
Keďže dosiaľ nevyšla samostatná kniha povestí z Nízkych Tatier, pokúsil som sa z tej hlbokej studnice príbehov, ktoré starostlivo uchovávali a ďalej šírili generácie našich predkov, vybrať aspoň zopár. Azda vás budú inšpirovať k tomu, aby ste navštívili Nízke Tatry, možno podnietia vašu fantáziu a predstavivosť, keď nimi budete putovať a spoznávať miesta, na ktorých sa tie príbehy odohrávali.
