Where Harvard Went Wrong
Where Harvard Went Wrong contains Harvey Mansfield’s addresses, spanning fifty years, to Harvard colleagues and students. Mansfield’s plea is, and has always been, that Harvard abandon its partisanship with the left and adopt instead a bipartisan position that welcomes conservatives as well as liberals. With the humor and grace necessary to a longtime lone conservative voice, Mansfield tackles the consequences that intolerant wokeism has wrought upon the university. In a collection of seven articles reproduced from the undergraduate newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, Mansfield treats the clash between Harvard and the Trump administration: he covers Harvard’s unsteady self-conception as an Ivory Tower, affirmative action for conservatives, free speech and protest speech, and the misconceived division between science and the humanities. Altogether, not confining himself to complaints of injustice, he shows what conservatives might offer to improve American higher education. In other, varied speeches and articles from 1975 to the present, Mansfield contrasts the new and the old Harvard, setting the stage for the conflict today; offers a reform curriculum for a college with ambition; and studies the insidious effects of rampant grade inflation and the forfeiture of merit-based grading. In Where Harvard Went Wrong, one professor stands up to a whole faculty, offering arguments rather than evasions and equivocation, and keeping as his lodestar the principle that education must conserve the tradition of learning as well as progress beyond the present. This book is meant for both parties—a guide for conservatives and a gentle, friendly reproach to liberals.
How Not to Be Human
Current debates in the environmental humanities, animal studies, and related fields increasingly revolve around this question: What to do with “the human”? Is the human a category worth preserving? Should it be replaced with the post-human? Should marginalized and minoritarian groups advocate for a universal humanism? What is the relationship between humanism and anthropocentrism? Is a genuinely non-anthropocentric mode of thinking and living possible for human beings? This book argues that the writings of twentieth-century poet Robinson Jeffers offer twenty-first-century readers a number of crucial insights concerning such questions and timely advice about how not to be human. For Jeffers, our tendency to turn inward on ourselves and to indulge in human narcissism is at the heart of the social, economic, and existential ills that plague modern societies. As a remedy, Jeffers recommends turning ourselves outward—beyond the self and beyond the human—and learning to affirm and even love the inhuman cosmos in all of its terrible beauty. In the process, Jeffers helps us find our way back to ourselves, but this time no longer as “human” in the traditional sense but as plain members of the inhuman world.
The Drowning Season
To find two missing women, a detective must dive into the secrets of her past in a blood-freezing novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb. Detective Adeline Cooper swore she’d never return to Mississippi, where her corrupt family rules through fear and her career was upended by betrayal. But then she receives a photograph of a local woman who has gone missing, along with a cryptic, chilling message: Pretty, pretty princess. See her smile…see her die. Soon after Adeline arrives in her hometown, a second woman is kidnapped, and there are disturbing connections between the two victims and the detective. Both women bear an eerie resemblance to Adeline and share her fear of water. A new message makes the kidnapper’s game terrifyingly clear: You’re next. When past and present collide at the river’s edge, Adeline will finally understand why she’s been dreaming of drowning her whole life. Revised edition: Previously published as Anywhere She Runs, this edition of The Drowning Season includes editorial revisions.

Terror at the Gates - Blood of Lilith 1
The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.
Banished by the church and betrayed by blood, Lilith makes a life in Nineveh, a neon-lit district where urban fantasy meets noir seduction. When a relic of unimaginable power finds her, it awakens enemies, a lover, and a terrifying prophecy she was born to fulfill.
She is the beginning and the end.
She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat-to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

Ubavit se k smrti
Postman ve své slavné knize tvrdí, že každá civilizace má své dominantní médium, které určuje, na co daná civilizace soustředí pozornost, což autor označuje výrazem „médium je metafora“. Autorova kniha vyšla v USA v osmdesátých letech minulého století, kdy dominovala televize, jeho kniha tedy pojednává především o vlivu tohoto média.
V televizi (ale platí to dodnes) je kladen výraz na vizuální stránku, zábavnost, senzačnost, emoce. Zprávy nemají v první řadě informovat, nýbrž být zajímavé. Divák nad nimi nestíhá přemýšlet, protože televize chrlí jednu zprávu za druhou. To ovlivňuje i způsob, jakým se prezentují politici nebo představitelé církví a jakým se učí na školách. Lidé nevolí politiky podle jejich politické vize, ale spíše podle vzhledu a zábavnosti. Žijeme ve „světě kukátka“, kde je informací mnoho, ale nedávají smysl. Být inteligentní znamená spíše vědět o ledasčem, a nikoli to skutečně znát. Z vážných věcí se stává show a z občanů pasivní konzumenti, kteří se smějí, aniž by vlastně věděli čemu. Autor vybízí, abychom kvůli vizuálním médiím neslevovali z intelektuálních potřeb a vážnosti, jež jsou podle něj typické pro kulturu tištěných médií.

Among them: Midnight Man. Then, nearly thirteen hundred miles away, one of the twins is found dead in a snowy Ohio field, and the parallels between the past and present cases grow more disturbing. Identical suicide notes. The same symbolic blood imagery. And a shared obsession with an online fantasy game. Its mastermind is an influencer who manipulates his most vulnerable and alienated players into killing the people they love most. The Midnight Man is back. Helen and Benedict must hunt the darkest corners of the internet to find him before someone else falls prey to an insidious evil that, for now, is in total control of the game.
Smoke and Embers
From “one of the best authors of espionage fiction” (Wall Street Journal), a book of deception and money to be made amid the rubble of World War IIFrom an author whose books have been described as “one of the great pleasures of modern spy fiction” by Slow Horses author Mick Herron and compared to the works of Alan Furst, Phillip Kerr, and Joseph Kanon, in Smoke and Embers John Lawton turns to the murky days, weeks and years following the end of World War II in Germany, Britain, and beyond. Smoke and Embers is the ninth installment of the beloved Inspector Troy series, and opens in 1950, when Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Troy learns that his sergeant has been conducting an affair with the known mistress of infamous London racketeer Otto Ohnherz. Troy is immediately intrigued by the mysterious origins of Ohnherz’s second-in-command, Jay Fabian, who is a major contributor to all three British political parties and claims to have survived the concentration camps—yet he lacks proof beyond his word. So begins a novel of duplicity and reinvention in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, with each chapter adding a new layer of intrigue. With a twisting plotline, crackling dialogue, characteristic humor, and the return of beloved characters, Smoke and Embers is an exciting new addition to John Lawton’s masterful canon.

A three-volume English translation by the eminent Islamicist Franz Rosenthal was first published in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series, garnering immediate international acclaim. A one-volume abridged version followed in 1969.
