Ealing: A Potted History
For much of its history Ealing was a rural village in Middlesex, outside London. Improved communications encouraged first its development as a market garden for the capital and later as an attractive suburb in West London, nicknamed ‘Queen of the Suburbs’. In this book, local historians Dr Jonathan Oates and Paul Howard Lang look back over the centuries to uncover the fascinating history of the district. The new public buildings, churches and chapels played an important role alongside large-scale housing developments from the nineteenth century onwards. Leisure was important in Ealing too. The inhabitants of Ealing included many famous names recorded by blue plaques today but all benefitted from the growth of shopping centres in the area. Not only was it well-known for its open spaces but is also the home of film studios. The stories of Ealing’s places and people bring the history to life, together with illustrations to show where reminders of the area’s past can still be found.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Ealing has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to the district.

When Mia meets Leonidas, a handsome local musician, the white-washed villages and crystal-clear waters become the backdrop for revelations neither woman is prepared for. As family mysteries begin to unravel and long-buried truths rise to the surface, mother and daughter must decide: is protecting the past worth sacrificing their future?

Waylon University 4: To ti slibuju
Dillon McQueen: Kdy tě zase uvidím?
Serena Jensenová: Ehm, kdo jsi?
Na Waylonu se traduje jistá legenda: první dívka, kterou políbíš v prvním ročníku u táboráku, je ta, na kterou nikdy nezapomeneš. Zadře se ti pod kůži a probudí v tobě takovou vášeň, že bys pro ni udělal cokoli na světě.
Možná ji dokonce požádáš o ruku.
Ale… důležité je správné načasování. Ten polibek se může příšerně zvrtnout. Ta dívka může utéct. A Serena opravdu utekla.
Dillon je hvězdný quarterback Waylonu, který potřebuje dostudovat a dostat se do NFL. Co ale rozhodně nepotřebuje, je potkat dívku, kterou políbil u táboráku v prvním ročníku. Copak nestačí, že ho pronásleduje ve snech?
Osud se mu vysměje do očí, když na ni nečekaně narazí v obchodě. Obklopen svým dívčím harémem si ležérně nahází do košíku všechna balení sušenek Oreo, které ona miluje. Ona mu to oplatí a vykoupí poslední balení jeho oblíbeného piva.
Ta legenda je určitě prokletím. Ona není jeho typ, a navíc ho určitě nenávidí. Ba co hůř – jak je možné, že si na něj nevzpomíná, když mu před třemi lety vypálila do srdce cejch?
Proč o ni přes to všechno pořád usiluje?
Získá nový hvězdný quarterback vysněnou dívku, nebo udělá největší chybu svého života?

Taking Territory
Taking Territory is an eye-opening account of why territorial conquest remains a phenomenon today. The end of World War II seemingly brought about a decline of territorial conquest. Many have argued that a strong territorial integrity norm in the postwar era explains this decline. Yet as Dan Altman shows, states have seized territory numerous times since 1945. Large-scale conquests have waned, but small, targeted seizures have persisted. The relationship between conquest and war has also shifted. While states attempting conquest before 1945 often initiated war, then sought to occupy large territories, challengers today more often seize small regions, then try to avoid war. This strategy, the fait accompli, has become the predominant mode of conquest. Drawing on his own original data consisting of 175 conquest attempts between 1918 and 2024, Altman explains why conquest persists, what motivates it, when it turns violent, and when it succeeds. He shows how miscalculated faits accomplis have sparked many post-1945 wars and why the motives behind many territorial grabs are often about image, domestic politics, and the ambitions of military officers. Incisive and illuminating, Taking Territory cuts against what we think we know about post-1945 conquest to reveal its true causes and consequences.
