HAMÁS - Stephen Farrell, Beverley Milton-Edwardsová
Studie o organizaci Hamás založená na reportážích, rozhovorech a analýze situace na Blízkém východě. Beverley Milton-Edwardsová, jedna z předních světových odbornic na Blízký východ a Stephen Farrell, žurnalista z agentury Reuters (dříve The New York Times), čtenářům zprostředkovávají erudované informace o ideových východiscích, záměrech a cílech Hamásu, organizaci, o níž se obecně mluví v souvislosti se světovou bezpečností. Ačkoliv Hamás působí na Blízkém východě už desetiletí a je předmětem mnoha politologických diskusí, v Čechách dosud nevyšla komplexní studie, která by organizaci popsala. České vydání navíc reflektuje aktuální situaci prostřednictvím doslovu Ireny Kalhousové. Kniha odráží letité zkušenosti Milton-Edwardsové a Farrella s výzkumem a reportážemi z okupovaného Západního břehu Jordánu a Gazy, Jeruzaléma a celého Blízkého východu. Autoři zúročili svůj bezkonkurenční přístup k Hamásu a na základě rozhovorů se členy zakladatelské generace a jejich nástupci, kteří nyní organizaci vedou, mohli popsat její vývoj a aktivity od počátku, přes útok na Izrael ze 7. října 2023 až po současné ničivé následky. Kniha tak přináší informace, jak se malá palestinská odnož Muslimského bratrstva stala výzvou pro dlouholeté soupeře, jako je OOP, kdo Hamás podporuje, jaký je jeho program a jak mocným se stal a nebo jak silný zůstane. Autoři dávají také prostor kritikům, kteří se domnívají, že k dosažení řešení blízkovýchodního konfliktu je třeba Hamás svrhnout, ale i příznivcům, jež věří, že právě Hamás je tím řešením. Faktem zůstává, že Hamás byl prohlášen za teroristickou hrozbu, ale vyhrál svobodné volby a ujal se vlády, ačkoliv výkonnou ani zákonodárnou moc nevykonává. Využil pak svou mocenskou základnu v Gaze k přeshraničním útokům, které zasáhly Izrael a změnily dynamiku izraelsko-palestinského konfliktu. Nikdo nyní nevěří, že Hamás lze ignorovat.

From Hamas to America - Mosab Hassan Yousef, James Becket
From Hamas to America is a gripping memoir that follows the son of Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan, as he breaks away from his culture''s practice of terrorism to becoming a double-agent for Israel to finally fleeing to America and becoming a US citizen, and ultimately finding peace. ''This is my opportunity to share my journey with others, to let go of both the traumas and the triumphs, to find freedom, to proclaim my truth.'' Mosab Hassan Yousef has worn many labels: Hamas terrorist, Green Prince, spy, traitor, hero, Hollywood player, Muslim, Christian, yogi, stateless, refugee, deportee, citizen. But all these labels have one thing in common: they serve someone else''s agenda. Now, for the first time, the New York Times bestselling author of Son of Hamas tells the full truth of his story. In it we see him growing up as the son of one of the founders of Hamas,; being imprisoned and tortured by the Israelis,; growing to hate the Hamas tactics of rape and violence,; working with the Israeli intelligence to expose suicide bombers and save lives,; seeking asylum in the US,; fighting with Homeland Security to avoid deportation,; rejecting Islam and converting to Christianity and making international headlines for it,; becoming a top speaker on Middle Eastern affairs and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict,; working with Hollywood to tell his story, and; obtaining US citizenship and discovering the life-saving discipline of yoga.. This is the inspiring story of someone who has been under threat of assassination or imprisonment for most of his life, but who somehow finds the path to freedom and peace. Few will walk in his shoes, but everyone can follow his example and make their own journey to find redemption and peace.

Hamas - Hroub Khaled
'A timely introduction' - Guardian The Islamic resistance movement Hamas was created in 1987, won the elections of the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006, and governed the Gaza Strip since 2007. The attacks on October 7th and the subsequent war on Gaza have turned the international spotlight on them as well as on Palestine. What then are Hamas's history, beliefs and political agenda? This is an indispensable introduction to the controversial political, social, religious and military organization. Looking beyond the caricatures of Hamas's leaders and cadre, Palestinian writer Khaled Hroub reveals a group largely guided by pragmatic aims. Asking the reader to re-think what they know, he provides the key facts missing from news reports, and an incisive analysis of their relationship with Israel and the West. This third edition of the popular guide is fully updated, including a new introduction and chapters on Hamas and the Arab Spring, Donald Trump's 'Deal of the Century', and the events of October 7th.

Understanding Hamas - Helena Cobban, Rami G. Khouri
Both accessible and authoritative, Understanding Hamas provides much-needed insight into a widely misunderstood movement whose involvement in a just resolution of the Israel/Palestine conflict will be critical.Across Western mainstream discourse, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has been subjected to intense vilification. Branding it as “terrorist” or worse, this demonization intensified after the events in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023.This book does not advocate for or against Hamas. Rather, in a series of rich and probing conversations with leading experts, it aims to deepen understanding of a movement that is a key player in the current crisis. It looks at, among other things, Hamas’s critical shift from social and religious activism to national political engagement; the delicate balance between Hamas''s political and military wings; and its transformation from early anti-Jewish tendencies to a stance that differentiates between Judaism and Zionism.

Beverley in 50 Buildings - Lorna Jane Harvey, Phil Dearden
Beverley’s rich historic legacy is visible in its many beautiful buildings. Already an important religious centre in Anglo-Saxon times, it continued to grow throughout the Middle Ages as a place of pilgrimage and as a prosperous wool-trading centre, and its landmark buildings and structures from that period, such as the famous Beverley Minster and North Bar, still attract visitors. In the eighteenth century Beverley became the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire and many streets and buildings were rebuilt in the Georgian style, including the market cross, which later secretly sheltered some soldiers during wartime. Beverley Racecourse was also established at this time. Building continued in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and alongside the town’s landmark buildings the story of Beverley can be seen in its pubs, including the gas-lit White Horse Inn known locally as ‘Nellie''s Pub’, hospitals, railway station buildings, industrial sites, theatres and cinemas, and more, up to the present day.Beverley in 50 Buildings explores the history of this historic town through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place in Beverley over the years. This book will appeal to all those who live in Beverley or who have an interest in the town.

Paradise Lost - John Milton
Milton''s celebrated epic poem, now in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectable editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.In Paradise Lost Milton produced a poem of epic scale, conjuring up a vast, awe-inspiring cosmos and ranging across huge tracts of space and time. And yet, in putting a charismatic Satan and naked Adam and Eve at the centre of this story, he also created an intensely human tragedy on the Fall of Man. Written when Milton was in his fifties - blind, bitterly disappointed by the Restoration and briefly in danger of execution - Paradise Lost''s apparent ambivalence towards authority has led to intense debate about whether it manages to ''justify the ways of God to men'', or exposes the cruelty of Christianity.John Milton (1608-1674) spent his early years in scholarly pursuit. In 1649 he took up the cause for the new Commonwealth, defending the English revolution both in English and Latin - and sacrificing his eyesight in the process. He risked his life by publishing The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth on the eve of the Restoration (1660). His great poems were published after this political defeat. John Leonard is a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario.

Approaching God - Michael A. Milton
Michael A.Milton uncovers the treasures of one of the Bible’s regularly overlooked books in this pastoral treatment of Leviticus. God’s call changed everything for the Israelites. Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun–scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin –the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry – life abruptly changes.With the first line of Leviticus, “And the Lord called,” God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God’s plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. Leviticus for modern–day ChristiansThis call doesn’t just affect the ancient Israelites –Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ’s followers today. This book of the law points consistently to Jesus, the fullness and fulfilment of every antitype. It reveals to us in stark terms the abhorrence of sin, and the barrier it creates between mankind and God.Beginning with a helpful overview of Leviticus, and after providing some beneficial information about its title, authorship, time and biblical context, Milton tackles the book in four sections: Called to Worship (chapters 1–7)Called to Ministry (chapters 8–10)Called to Purity (chapters 11–16)Called to Holiness (chapters 17–27) Throughout, we see how this call applies not only to the ancient Israelites, but also to us. Get into this fascinating bookApproaching God will be excellent for personal bible study, or for a pastor or small group leader working through the book.

Jeho obvyklý pečlivý výzkum a bystrá analýza rozkrývají celosvětovou síť nekalé finanční a technologické kontroly, o jejíž existenci má málokdo tušení.*****Farrell se zabývá vytvářením odštěpené civilizace nacisty v Jižní Americe a dalších částech světa. Rozebírá vyspělou technologii, kterou si vzali s sebou na „konci“ druhé světové války, a analyzuje psychologickou válku, kterou po desetiletí vedli proti Americe a NATO. Ukazuje, jak odštěpená civilizace vybudovala obrovský systém skrytého financování, na němž se podílela (mimo jiné) i Vatikánská banka, a jak NATO vytvořilo rozsáhlou síť tajných válečných operací a politické černé fondy. Zkoumá utajené vesmírné programy, které odštěpená civilizace v dnešní době sponzoruje, a současné vojenské síly ovládající planetu Zemi.*****Zahrne čtenáře spoustou ohromujících svědectví, dokumentů a spekulací o úžasné alternativní historii skrytých konfliktů, tajných superfinancí a technologií.*****Jak svět skutečně funguje, to se dozvíte zde.

Paradise Lost - John Milton
Blind, broken by the death of his wife and bitterly disappointed by the Restoration, Milton dictated his sweeping biblical epic Paradise Lost to a series of helpers. While the struggle between God and Satan rages across the cosmos, the human tragedy of Adam and Eve - the temptation and fall - is movingly depicted in language unsurpassed in its musicality and beauty.A staggering and audacious undertaking - seeking, in Milton's words, to "justify the ways of God to men" - Paradise Lost has been revered since its initial publication, inspiring writers from Mary Shelley to William Wordsworth, and is widely considered to be the greatest poem ever written in the English language.

Underground Empire - Henry Farrell, Abraham Newman
An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientistsDeep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

Paradise Lost - John Milton
''Of man''s first disobedience, and the fruitOf that forbidden tree, whose mortal tasteBrought death into the world...Sing heavenly muse''From almost the moment of its first publication in 1667, Paradise Lost was considered a classic. It is difficult now to appreciate both how audacious an undertaking it represents, and how astonishing its immediate and continued success was. Over the course of twelve books Milton wrote an epic poem that would ''justify the ways of God to men'', a mission that required a complex drama whose source is both historical and deeply personal. The struggle for ascendancy between God and Satan is played out across hell, heaven, and earth but the consequences of the Fall are all too humanly tragic - pride, ambition, and aspiration the motivating forces. In this new edition derived from their acclaimed Oxford Authors text, Stephen Orgel and Jonathan Goldberg discuss the complexity of Milton''s poem in a new introduction, and on-page notes explain its language and allusions. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

England's Second Reformation - Anthony Milton
England''s Second Reformation reassesses the religious upheavals of mid-seventeenth-century England, situating them within the broader history of the Church of England and its earlier Reformations. Rather than seeing the Civil War years as a destructive aberration, Anthony Milton demonstrates how they were integral to (and indeed the climax of) the Church of England''s early history. All religious groups – parliamentarian and royalist alike – envisaged changes to the pre-war church, and all were forced to adapt their religious ideas and practices in response to the tumultuous events. Similarly, all saw themselves and their preferred reforms as standing in continuity with the Church''s earlier history. By viewing this as a revolutionary ''second Reformation'', which necessarily involved everyone and forced them to reconsider what the established church was and how its past should be understood, Milton presents a compelling case for rethinking England''s religious history.

Afghanistan was an unwinnable war. As British and American troops withdraw, discover this definitive account that explains why. It could have been a very different story. British forces could have successfully withdrawn from Afghanistan in 2002, having done the job they set out to do: to defeat al-Qaeda. Instead, in the years that followed, Britain paid a devastating price for their presence in Helmand province. So why did Britain enter, and remain, in an ill-fated war? Why did it fail so dramatically, and was this expedition doomed from the beginning? Drawing on unprecedented access to military reports, government documents and senior individuals, Professor Theo Farrell provides an extraordinary work of scholarship. He explains the origins of the war, details the campaigns over the subsequent years, and examines the West''s failure to understand the dynamics of local conflict and learn the lessons of history that ultimately led to devastating costs and repercussions still relevant today.''The best book so far on Britain''s...war in Afghanistan'' International Affairs ''Masterful, irrefutable...

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERShortlisted for Sports Book of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025---‘A terrific book’ Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio 1‘An absorbing insight into the mind of a leader’ Irish Times---At the age of 16, a boy amongst men, Andy Farrell made his first-team debut for Wigan Warriors – and became a father for the first time. At 18, he won his first senior international cap. At 21, he won his first Man of Steel Award for the Super League player of the year. He went on to win the Golden Boot award for world player of the year. All of that on its own would have been enough to make him a sporting legend – and none of it even hinted at the fascinating second chapter of his sporting life, as a rugby union player with Saracens and England, or the third chapter, as a highly successful and beloved union coach. Under his leadership, Ireland have played a brilliant brand of rugby combining precision and freedom, and have won two of the past three Six Nations championships. And most recently, he led the Lions to their first series win since 2013. Warm, thoughtful and passionate, Andy Farrell is not just a brilliant rugby man: he is a fascinating human being. His autobiography brings us back to his childhood in Wigan, when he made a meteoric ascent to the highest levels of rugby league. He writes about his ambitious attempt to remake himself as a rugby union player in his thirties. He writes about the importance of family in his life and he traces the journey that has led to him become one of rugby's most successful coaches, explaining what he has learned about leadership along the way. ‘A likeable book about a likeable man. You’ll enjoy it.’ Irish Independent

Dear Blacksmith - Beverley Ward
‘This wasn''t the story I wanted to tell. The end happened in the middle.’ Part love story, part grief memoir, Dear Blacksmith recounts the author’s brief and unconventional love affair with ''Blacksmith Paul'', a maverick who lived out on the moors in the Peak District – and the heart-rending details of her grief after his sudden death, just eight months into their relationship.Adapted from the much-loved blog Swimming Through Clouds, the story is told through a series of searingly-honest diary entries, reflections, and poems addressed to the Blacksmith. In a heartfelt rejection of ''stiff upper lip'' culture, ''Writer Beverley'' sheds all inhibitions to examine grief at its most raw and brutal; from planning her love’s funeral with a family that she’d never met, to learning to live alone again following the loss both of her soulmate and her mother, a few weeks earlier.A complex journey from the depths of sorrow to the beginnings of recovery, this book is a work of extraordinary sincerity; and ultimately, a hard-earned testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.

The Automatic Fetish traces Marx’s analysis of capital, step by step, through the material compiled posthumously as the third volume of Capital. Identifying the critique of value as the central through line of the entire work, Beverley Best elaborates a theory of movement through which the capital machine generates social forms of appearance as the inversion of its inner operating mechanisms. Neither a return to basics nor a new-fangled reconstruction, The Automatic Fetish eschews novelty to show once again that Marx rewards careful study.- ‘If I had to choose one book that would make the case for the relevance of Marx’s critique of political economy to the humanities, this might very well be it’ Colleen Lye, co-editor of After Marx- ‘The contribution of The Automatic Fetish is hard to exaggerate’ Nicholas Brown, author of Autonomy- ‘Will make a significant contribution to the wider field of materialist theory’ Joshua Clover, author of Riot.

The Psycho Boys - Beverley Driver Eddy
They were not your typical World War II soldiers. Most were not in particularly good physical shape, and many had trouble handling their weapons. They differed widely in their ages, politics, and skills. Many worked in academia, media, and the arts. They were a strange mix of Americans and foreign nationals, immigrants, and refugees, linked by their language skills, knowledge of Europe, and a desire to defeat the Axis. During the war, the U.S. Army trained them in psychological warfare at a secret camp on the Gettysburg battlefield and then sent them to Europe. They became known as “Psycho Boys,” a group of soldiers who have never received their due respect. In this book Beverley Driver Eddy, author of Ritchie Boy Secrets, tells their rarely heard story and argues for their importance to the Allied war effort.At Gettysburg the Psycho Boys were taught the various skills that would be necessary in the European campaign from D-Day onward: prisoner and civilian interrogation, broadcasting, loudspeaker appeals, leaflet and newspaper production, and technical support. The 800 men were divided into four mobile radio broadcasting companies and sent to Europe to land on D-Day, fight in Normandy and at the Bulge, and participate in the conquest of Germany and the liberation of the concentration camps. Some of the soldiers operated well out in front of Allied lines and – in German – called on enemy soldiers to surrender. Others worked behind the lines, printing propaganda leaflets and making radio broadcasts.Drawing on company histories, memoirs, and veteran interviews, this book traces the history of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mobile Radio Broadcasting Companies and the individuals who served in them. For far too long, these soldiers were maligned as mere “paragraph troopers,” because they fought with words rather than bullets. As Eddy shows, the Psycho Boys hastened victory and saved countless lives by encouraging enemy soldiers to desert or surrender. Their story is an important and fascinating contribution to World War II scholarship.

Stephen Hawking : Friendship and Physics - Leonard Mlodinow
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, DAILY TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN AND BBC SCIENCE FOCUS 'An intimate, unique, and inspiring perspective on the life and work of one of the greatest minds of our time. Filled with insight, humour, and never-before-told stories, it's a view of Stephen Hawking that few have seen and all will appreciate' James Clear, author of Atomic Habits An icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their collaboration, offering an intimate account of this giant of science. The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles -- as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finish Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe. By weaving together their shared story with a clear-sighted portrayal of Hawking's scientific achievements, Mlodinow creates a beautiful portrait of Stephen Hawking as a brilliant, impish and generous man whose life was not only exceptional but also genuinely inspiring.

Hypnotické světy - Milton H. Erickson, Ernest L. Rossi
Doslovný záznam Ericksonovy indukce klinické hypnózy a jeho přístupu k nácviku tranzu poskytuje studentům i odborníkům jasné příklady vývoje klinických hypnotických jevů. Dvěma hlavními inovacemi v tomto svazku jsou teorie využití hypnózy a nepřímé formy návrhů. V každé kapitole spoluautor Ernst Rossi objasňuje a rozpracovává relevantní otázky právě ilustrované Ericksonovy práce a analyzuje Ericksonův přístup k odhalení některých základních proměnných, které lze izolovat a testovat budoucí experimentální prací. Tyto sekce jsou mostem mezi klinickým uměním Ericksonovy hypnoterapie a systematickým úsilím vědecké snahy o porozumění lidskému chování.Milton H. Erickson (1901–1980) byl americký psychiatr a psycholog, zakladatel nového přístupu k hypnóze (ericksonovská hypnóza) a jejího využití v terapii i v životě. Významný je jeho přístup k nevědomí, které chápe pozitivně jako kreativní a schopné samo nabídnout řešení psychického problému člověka. Jeho práce inspirovala přístupy krátké terapie, systemické terapie, na řešení zaměřené terapie a neurolingvistického programování. V Portále vyšla kniha Sidneyho Rosena o ericksonovském přístupu Můj hlas půjde s tebou (2019).Ernest L. Rossi je americký psycholog a psychoterapeut, editor sebraných spisů M. H. Ericksona, autor mnoha knih na téma hypnoterapie.
