‘A delight from start to finish’ SUNDAY TIMES‘A triumph of ingenuity’ DAILY MAIL ‘I loved it! ... A whiff of Shardlake and a pinch of Rumpole ... a joy’ S.J. BENNETT, author of THE WINDSOR KNOTWhen barrister Gabriel Ward steps out of his rooms at exactly two minutes to seven on a sunny May morning in 1901, his mind is so full of his latest case – the disputed authorship of bestselling children’s book Millie the Temple Church Mouse – that he scarcely registers the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep.But even he cannot fail to notice the judge’s dusty bare feet, in shocking contrast to his flawless evening dress, nor the silver carving knife sticking out of his chest. In the shaded courtyards and ancient buildings of the Inner Temple, the hidden heart of London’s legal world, murder has spent centuries confined firmly to the casebooks. Until now…The police can enter the Temple only by consent, so who better to investigate this tragic breach of law and order than a man who prizes both above all things? But murder doesn’t answer to logic or reasoned argument, and Gabriel soon discovers that the Temple’s heavy oak doors are hiding more surprising secrets than he’d ever imagined...Gabriel Ward will return in A CASE OF LIFE AND LIMB - available to pre-order now!‘A cunning and delightful mystery with rich, wonderful characters and period detail so vivid, you can touch it’ IAN MOORE, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS‘Sir Gabriel Ward KC is endearingly eccentric. Intriguing, engaging, and thoroughly satisfying’ T.E. KINSEY, author of A QUIET LIFE IN THE COUNTRY‘A total delight! ... Intelligent, insightful mystery ... all skilfully woven together with a poignant, human story. I devoured it in one sitting!’ SARAH YARWOOD-LOVETT, author of A MURDER OF CROWS

eBook: Díla Ladislava Fukse bývají charakterizována jako psychologická próza zaměřená na téma úzkosti a zla v totalitních systémech. Autor je u nás i v zahraničí známý zpracováním tématu holocaustu (Spalovač mrtvol, Pan Theodor Mundstock). Myši Natálie Mooshabrové jsou prvním Fuksovým románem, ve kterém pracuje s novou tematikou a s prvky žánrů sci-fi a alegorie. Specifický humor, směs hororu i grotesky, pohádky i absurdního dramatu vytvářejí intenzivní atmosféru strachu a nejistoty, kterou umocňují bizarní protiklady hvězdoletů a koňských povozů či sofistikované byrokracie a stánků s pivo limo. Kniha byla rozpracována před okupací Československa v roce 1968, ale vydána až počátkem sedmdesátých let. Prvního překladu díla do angličtiny se ujal Mark Corner, výtvarný doprovod tvoří originální ilustrace Jiřího Gruse.

eBook: During the Roman Period, the region of the basin of the Výrovka Stream, a left-bank tributary of the Elbe River on the border of the districts of Kolín and Nymburk, contains an extraordinary concentration of funerary sites of particular European importance and which belong to the representative part of the National Museum collection (Dobřichov-Pičhora, Dobřichov-Třebická). The determined settlements thus far are an unexploited source of knowledge about the development of these key regions in Bohemia during the Roman Period. In recent years, the assemblage from the Vrbová Lhota site stands out among the other settlement sites from the 3rd century AD. The collection of the finds is characterised by a large number of metal finds, among which Roman imports stand out: parts of bronze vessels, bells, brooches, fittings and a bronze anthropomorphic statue. Also known from the site are numerous indicators of non-ferrous metalworking activities – these are often interpreted as some of the evidence of the presence of elites, who were suppliers of raw materials (often of Roman origin), but also customers of the finale products. Additional evidence of the presence of local elites is a rich collection of bronze, silver and gold coins dated to the 2nd century up to the second half of the 3rd century AD. The aim of this study is to evaluate an unpublished set of finds along with new ones coming from surface surveys (2020–2021 seasons) and based on the results of the archaeometric study of selected metal finds. With the aid of archaeometry, we attempt to analyse the metallurgical activities at the site and their relationship with other sites in the Central European part of the Barbaricum. Oblast povodí říčky Výrovky, levobřežního přítoku Labe na hranici okresů Kolín a Nymburk v době římské představuje mimořádnou koncentraci evropsky významných funerálních lokalit, které patří k reprezentativní součásti sbírky Národního muzea (Dobřichov-Pičhora, Dobřichov-Třebická). Dosud známé sídlištní lokality představují dosud nevyužitý pramen k poznání vývoje tohoto klíčového regionu ve středních Čechách doby římské. Mezi jinými lokalitami ze 3. století n. l. vyniká poslední roky obohacovaný soubor z lokality Vrbová Lhota. Nálezový soubor se vyznačuje množstvím kovových nálezů, mezi nimiž vynikají římské importy: části bronzových nádob, zvonky, spony, kování a bronzová antropomorfní plastika. Z lokality jsou také známy četné doklady zpracování neželezných kovů – ty jsou často interpretovány jako jeden z dokladů přítomnosti elit, které byly dodavateli surovin (často římského původu), ale také odběrateli finálních výrobků. Dalším dokladem přítomnosti místních elit je bohatá sbírka bronzových, stříbrných a zlatých mincí, datovaná do 2. až 2. poloviny 3. století našeho letopočtu. Cílem této studie je zhodnocení dosud nepublikovaného souboru nálezů získaného povrchovou prospekcí za pomoci detektorů kovu a interpretace metalografických analýz, které na něm byly provedeny. Analýza kovoliteckých aktivit na lokalitě pomáhá situovat toto sídliště v kontextu podobných lokalit středoevropského barbarika. Kniha je v angličtině, s českým resumé.

The follow-up to the BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week Other MindsA Times and Sunday Times Book of the YearA Waterstones Best Book of 2020The scuba-diving philosopher explores the origins of animal consciousness.Dip below the ocean's surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals and flower-like worms, whose rooted bodies and intricate geometry are more reminiscent of plant life than anything recognisably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom - the Metazoa - they can teach us about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.In his acclaimed book, Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith explored the mind of the octopus - the closest thing to an intelligent alien on Earth. In Metazoa, he expands his inquiry to animals at large, investigating the evolution of experience with the assistance of far-flung species. Godfrey-Smith shows that the appearance of the first animal body form well over half a billion years ago was a profound innovation that set life upon a new path. He charts the ways that subsequent evolutionary developments - eyes that track, for example, and bodies that move through and manipulate the environment - shaped the lives of animals. Following the evolutionary paths of a glass sponge, soft coral, banded shrimp, octopus and fish, then moving onto land and the world of insects, birds and primates like ourselves, Metazoa gathers these stories together to bridge the gap between matter and mind and address one of the most important philosophical questions: what is the origin of consciousness?Combining vivid animal encounters with philosophy and biology, Metazoa reveals the impossibility of separating the evolution of our minds from the evolution of animals themselves.

Od chvíle, kdy roku 1952 v pětadvaceti letech usedla na trůn, byla královna Alžběta II. cílem nepřetržité pozornosti. Co však o nejznámější korunované hlavě světa doopravdy víme? Známá autorka životopisů Sally Bedell Smithová na základě mnoha rozhovorů a dříve utajených dokumentů poodhaluje roušku tajemství a v důvěrných podrobnostech ukazuje pracovní i soukromý život královny, která provedla svoji zemi a Commonwealth šedesáti lety válek a otřesů s nebývalým klidem, inteligencí a důstojností.V knize Alžběta II., Život moderní panovnice se seznámíme s dívkou, jež se nenadále stane „předpokládanou dědičkou“, poté co se její strýc vzdá trůnu. Ve třinácti letech se zamiluje do mladého kadeta Filipa a rozhodne se za něj provdat, ačkoli její rodiče dávají přednost bohatším britským šlechticům. Vidíme dospívající Lilibet opravovat za války náklaďáky a v den vítězství stát na balkóně Buckinghamského paláce po boku Winstona Churchilla. Vidíme mladou královnu, která se pokouší spojit role panovnice a matky dvou malých dětí. Sally Bedell Smithová nás uvádí do paláce a popisuje královninu každodenní práci – „červené krabice“ oficiálních listin, každotýdenní schůzky postupně s dvanácti ministerskými předsedy, náročné zahraniční cesty, neustálý dohled tisku – i její osobní vztahy: s princem Filipem, celoživotní láskou a po čtyřiašedesát let manželem, s dětmi, jejichž manželství většinou zkrachovala, s vnoučaty a přáteli.Nesmírně čtivá, ale badatelsky pečlivě připravená kniha ukazuje zblízka ženu, kterou známe jen na dálku, její čilou povahu, smysl pro humor a bystrý intelekt, díky nimž zvládá nejnáročnější úkoly pracovního i rodinného života. Rovněž poskytuje vhled do fungování poslední velké světové monarchie.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE What if intelligent life on Earth evolved not once, but twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. What can we learn from the encounter? In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how nature became aware of itself – a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind’s fitful development from unruly clumps of seaborne cells to the first evolved nervous systems in ancient relatives of jellyfish, he explores the incredible evolutionary journey of the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous molluscs who would later abandon their shells to rise above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so – a journey completely independent from the route that mammals and birds would later take. But what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually ‘think for themselves’? By tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind – and on our own.

eBook: When playboy stockbroker Alvin Benson is found dead in his New York mansion with a bullet through his head, it sends shock waves through the city that never sleeps. Detectives descend - and so does amateur detective Philo Vance, who immediately notices that Benson's toupee and false teeth are missing. With the police always two steps behind, Vance sets off in pursuit of a mysterious killer. Along the way, skeletons fall out of every cupboard he opens in the homes of New York's rich and powerful. Can Vance dodge danger, negotiate the petty politics and catch the killer? 'The Benson Murder Case' is ideal for fans of other amateur sleuths, including Agatha Christie's 'Miss Marple' and 'Poirot' and the wannabe detectives in Richard Osman's 'The Thursday Murder Club'. S.S. Van Dine (1888-1939) is the novelist pseudonym of American art critic Willard Huntington Wright. As an art critic, he was an influential name in pre-First World War New York, using a pseudonym when writing detective novels. He created the popular fictional amateur detective Philo Vance in the 1920s when he was seriously ill and confined to bed for many months. His 12 Philo Vance novels made him one of the best-selling US authors in the inter-war years.

The first survey of its kind, this catalogue will celebrate a generation of women artists working in the vein of Abstract Expressionism from around the world. Drawing on the avant-garde movements of both Expressionism and Surrealism, the women of Abstract Expressionism redefined artistic practice as an immersive arena for action, process and consciousness. Their paintings were regarded not as images but as events. Although the movement officially began in mid-century USA, it quickly – through myriad means – spread around the world and became a catalyst for redefining ideas around aesthetics, poetry, philosophy and politics. This new publication, accompanying a major European touring exhibition, will include works by 40 artists from across the globe, from well-known practitioners such as Carmen Herrera, Etel Adnan, Sandra Blow and Helen Frankenthaler, to lesser-known names from countries such as Australia, China, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Mozambique, Romania and Venezuela: women who took up the ideas and methodologies of the movement but endowed them with specific cultural and subjective dimensions. The catalaogue will include essays by Christian Levett, Joan Marter, Agustin Perez Rubio and Elizabeth Smith, as well as full colour illustrations of all the works.

The Case Study House program (1945–1966) was a unique event in the history of American architecture. Sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine, the program sought to respond to the postwar building boom with prototype modern homes that could be both easily replicated and readily affordable to the average American. Concentrated on the Los Angeles area, the Case Study Houses included 36 model homes commissioned from such major architects of the day as Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig, Eero Saarinen, A. Quincy Jones, and Ralph Rapson. Their criteria included “using, as far as is practicable, many war-born techniques and materials best suited to the expression of man’s life in the modern world.”The results of the program would redefine the modern home and extend influence not only across the United States but around the world. This compact guide includes all of the Case Study Houses with over 150 photos and plans, as well as a map showing locations of all sites, including those that no longer exist.
