All the Medals Have Been Handed Out
Guy's been pushing himself to the outer limits, as usual. There's no medals, no big ceremony at the end of it all. He's just driven by putting himself through the misery. And coming out smiling.
In search of suffering, Guy went to Colombia for the TV job, where he was kidnapped, tortured and shot at. He's also been to the Arctic to join the Royal Marines at their winter training centre, taking on the most James Bond exercises he's ever done while still seriously injured from a motorbike crash that knocked him unconcious.
Off the telly, Guy's gone on two epic bike rides, spanning over a dozen countries, led by his sat nav along multi-lane motorways and up remote goat tracks, sleeping on the roadside. He's been to Mablethorpe Beach, the destination for racing things that shouldn't be raced; he's entered one of the toughest motorcycle endurance events in the world (twice); and he's been working on the '300mph job' - that's the world record he's going for and he's building a bike to get him there.
Read on, and let Guy Martin take you with him on his travels to the brink.

Hunger and Thirst
1987: After a childhood trauma and years in and out of the care system, sixteen-year-old Ursula finds herself with a new job in the postroom of a local art school, a bed in a halfway house, and-delightfully- some new friends, including wild-child, Sue. When Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious house whose owners met a terrible end, she can't resist the promise of a readymade, hodgepodge family.
But as Sue's behaviour and demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungry-for food-and more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging, carries out her friend's terrible dare. It's a decision that will haunt her for decades.
Thirty-six years later, Ursula is a renowned, reclusive sculptor living under a pseudonym in London when her identity is exposed by true-crime documentary-maker who is digging into an unsolved disappearance. But it is not only the filmmaker who has discovered Ursula's whereabouts, and as her past catches up with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without.
From critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go to truly belong.
Dissection of a Murder
**ALL first edition hardback copies feature beautiful sprayed edges - available while stock lasts**
Breathlessly compulsive courtroom drama with expertly-crafted twists that you won't see coming, Dissection of a Murder is the razor-sharp debut novel from Jo Murray.
A dead judge. A silent defendant. And a courtroom full of liars.
When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her.
To make things worse, he's refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case?
Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren't won by convincing judges or fellow barristers - they're all about convincing a jury.
Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried.
It's true what they say - there are two sides to every story.
Guilty or not guilty?
You decide . . .
The Sisters

Ina is tall, serious, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy, magnetic, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody, chaotic, quick to anger.

His life intersects with theirs across decades and continents, from Tunis to Berlin and New York. And when Evelyn goes missing, it's Jonas who tracks her down - and helps break the curse that has loomed over the Mikkolas for years.

Shrink Solves Murder
Her 3 o'clock just became a murder case...
When a body is found near Beachy Head, the police chalk it up to suicide - a tragic but not uncommon end in these parts.
But local psychotherapist Patricia Phillips isn't convinced.
The victim? Her three o'clock patient, Henry Clayton.
The cause of death is supposedly self-inflicted. Yet Pat can't shake the belief that someone wanted Henry Clayton dead. She spends her working life listening to histories and secrets, and she has a nose for when a story doesn't quite ring true.
Drawn from the therapy room to the crime scene, Pat begins to notice what others appear to overlook.
At her side is her best friend Prichard - a home-brewer of fearsome, stomach-turning concoctions, an excellent cook, and a man who seems to get along with everyone. Which makes him useful for infiltrating village life.
As Pat and Prichard look beneath the village's thin veneer of normality - one that barely conceals its appetites - they discover a killer hiding in plain sight.
Shrink Solves Murder is a warm, witty, and perceptive crime caper from the nation's favourite therapist.

Alexander Hamilton
Discover the inspiring story of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father, political trailblazer and modern-day icon.
Alexander Hamilton's childhood was characterized by loss and hardship. Yet with a little help and a lot of tenacity, he travelled to America to pursue an education. Aged 15 he arrived in New York City as an immigrant and an orphan. He studied hard and became known for his intelligence, wit and impressive rhetorical skills. He was soon swept up in the revolutionary cause and joined the army. During the Revolutionary war he became a close friend of George Washington and after America gained independence, he trained as a lawyer, founded a national bank and was appointed to Congress. As a politician, he co-wrote the highly influential Federalist papers and later became the first Secretary of the Treasury.
Alexander was one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers, until Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash-hit musical Hamilton catapulted him to global fame, sharing his incredible story with millions.
This powerful book features stunning illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the protagonist's life.
Peak Human
Golden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth: Ancient Greece gave us democracy and the rule of the law; out of Abbasid Baghdad came algebra and modern medicine, and the Dutch Republic furnished us with Europe's greatest artistic movements. As such, each has unique lessons to teach us about the world we live in today. But, all previous golden ages have proven finite, whether through external pressures or internal fracturing.
In Peak Human, acclaimed historian Johan Norberg examines seven of humanity's greatest civilizations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - and asks: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesn't end?
Disonance a fata morgána
Kniha Disonance a fata morgána je závěrečnou částí dlouhodobého projektu mapujícího českou literaturu 20. století, stejně jako metodologické možnosti, jimiž v současnosti disponuje literární historie. Projekt byl zahájen v roce 2010 publikací Dějiny nové moderny. Česká literatura v letech 1905–1923 a pokračoval pak dalšími díly: Lomy vertikál. Česká literatura v letech 1924–1934 (2014), Věk horizontál. Česká literatura v letech 1935–1947 (2017) a Chór a disonance. Česká literatura 1947–1963 (2022).
Aktuální svazek se věnuje období od roku 1964 do roku 1971. Titul odkazuje k specifické charakteristice periody, která je typická kontradikcemi a paradoxy. Krátké období, v němž individualistické hlasy vítězily nad režimní „chóričností“ a otevíraly výhled do velkého světa svobody, bylo přerušeno drastickými událostmi okupace v srpnu 1968 a následnou „normalizací“. Víra v nově nabývanou svobodu se ukázala na dlouhý čas jako iluze, jako fata morgána, která vyvstane na obzoru a náhle zase zmizí.
V jednotlivých kapitolách věnovaných českému i evropskému myšlení, poezii, próze, dramatu, významu překladové literatury, myšlení o literatuře, ale také roli dobového filmu či populární kultury, se autoři převážně z okruhu Centra novější české literatury Filozofické fakulty Jihočeské univerzity a pražského Ústavu české literatury a komparatistiky Filozofické fakulty UK pokoušejí záměrně metodologicky odlišným způsobem uchopit historicky různorodě založené situace. A to jak v kontextu dobových filozofických a estetických úvah a konkrétních uměleckých postupů, tak z hlediska reflexe dobové situace naplněné očekáváním, tvůrčím a myšlenkovým entuziasmem, ale také frustrací a planými iluzemi. – Vychází ve spolupráci s Filozofickou fakultou Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích.
Judikatura práva rodiny
Knižní vydání souboru zásadních aktuálních rozhodnutí českých soudů zaměřených na právo rodiny, jak konstatuje iniciátorka projektu a prezidentka Unie rodinných advokátů Daniela Kovářová, v našich krajích prakticky neexistuje – jediná dosažitelná publikace je desetiletí stará a dotýká se jen vztahů rodičů a dětí.
Publikace „Judikatura práva rodiny – čtvrtý doplněk“ navazuje na předchozí publikace ediční řady a zahrnuje části nazvané Rodičovství, otcovství a mateřství, Participační práva dětí, Výživné, Procesní otázky, Společné jmění manželů, Úprava styku, Majetkové otázky práva rodiny, Správní a trestní otázky práva rodiny. Přesahuje tedy hranice samotného oboru rodinného práva a přináší široké spektrum odpovědí.
Pět kajícných
Neoficiální agent Winter se hodlá vypořádat s dobře organizovaným zlem, kterému se daří nejen v podsvětí pochybných podniků, drogových dealerů a pasáků, ale i nebezpečně blízko našim každodenním životům. Při pátrání po zmizelé sotva patnáctileté studentce Pavle se ocitá ve spirále násilí, v prostředí, kde platí zákony mnohem tvrdší než staré dobré „zub za zub, oko za oko“. Podaří se mu Pavlu najít živou? Přežije sám proti brutální přesile? A kde leží hranice mezi spravedlností a osobní mstou?
Ať už ale Wintr lavíruje nad jakoukoli propastí, nikdy ho neopouští jeho břitký jazyk – dar i prokletí, které mu přináší převahu i komplikace v těch nejméně vhodných chvílích. 5 kajícných je neortodoxní detektivka, temná, provokativní, plná intelektuálních hříček a ledově mrazivého humoru, balancující na hraně absurdity. Od první stránky udržuje čtenáře v napětí a zároveň ho nutí přemýšlet, zda lze temnotu porazit, aniž by se jí člověk sám ušpinil.

Adresát Bohuslav Havránek
Edice obsahuje odbornou i přátelskou korespondenci adresovanou Bohuslavu Havránkovi, přednímu lingvistovi 20. století. Zahrnuje období od roku 1924 do roku 1977. Její hlavní část spadá do čtyřicátých a padesátých let 20. století z pera trojice význačných vědců: Františka Trávníčka, Vladimíra Šmilauera a Bohuslava Havránka (jim úspěšně sekunduje lexikograf Alois Získal). Jejich práce, zájmy i osudy se v listech protínají a po válce vyhrocují; tvoří zajímavou i objevnou část celé korespondence a dokumentují, někdy i bouřlivě a bojovně, vývoj české lingvistiky v soudobých měnících se politických poměrech. Druhým tematickým okruhem korespondence jsou pak listy Havránkových žáků: Miloše Dokulila, Karla Horálka, Františka Kopečného a Oldřicha Králíka; jsou zaměřeny individuálněji, a i když zachycují řadu momentů reagujících na společenské události, dotýkají se převážně vědecké práce, často v souvislosti s konzultací či prosbou o pomoc při řešení problémů osobního i profesního charakteru. Kniha vychází k 100. výročí založení Pražského lingvistického kroužku.

Pri príležitosti 100. výročia narodenia Jeho Eminencie Jána Chyzostoma kardinála Korca sme pripravili 5. knižné vydanie Proglasu - Predslovu k svätému Evanjeliu.
