From the acclaimed author of Senlin Ascends comes the first book in a wildly inventive new fantasy series where magical mysteries abound and only one team can solve them: The Hexologists. Bancroft is a wonder as ever! The Hexologists was a joyous delight on every page - buoyantly inventive, witty, poignant, gripping, and deeply satisfying Madeline Miller, author of CirceAs the nation s foremost investigators of the paranormal, Isolde and Warren Wilby are accustomed to bumping up against things that go bump in the night. They have made quite a name for themselves as the Hexologists: detectives of the uncanny, the monstrous, the strange. After a decade of wedded bliss and dozens of fantastical adventures, there is little in the world that can still surprise them.But when a famous artist dies under suspicious circumstances, Isolde finds herself investigating a murder that may not have happened, and a crime scene that seems to shift beneath her feet. Not one to be easily thwarted, Isolde is compelled to take greater and greater risks in pursuit of her elusive answers. Meanwhile, the laws that govern magic appear to be breaking, and those cracks are spreading to the everyday world.The mystery will carry the devoted duo to seedy underworlds, enchanted gardens, and subterranean military zoos. Old friends will come to the Wilbies aid as they infiltrate secret societies, battle vicious imps, and flee from a pack of venomous wolves. Equipped with Isolde s hexes, Warren s muscle, and an enchanted bag full of magical relics, the Hexologists will have to risk life and limb to unravel the riddle at the heart of A Tangle of Time. Fantastic! The Hexologists fizzes eloquently with wit and elegance, but also has marvellous worldbuilding and an excellent plot - and a central pair of characters who I quite simply love. A cocktail of a book made with the very best champagne Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library

Led by Erasmus Darwin, the Lunar Society of Birmingham was formed from a group of amateur experimenters, tradesmen and artisans who met and made friends in the Midlands in the 1760s. Most came from humble families, all lived far from the centre of things, but they were young and their optimism was boundless: together they would change the world. Among them were the ambitious toy-maker Matthew Boulton and his partner James Watt, of steam-engine fame; the potter Josiah Wedgwood; the larger-than-life Erasmus Darwin, physician, poet, inventor and theorist of evolution (a forerunner of his grandson Charles Darwin). Later came Joseph Priestley, discoverer of oxygen and fighting radical. Led by Erasmus Darwin they joined a small band of allies, formed the Lunar Society of Birmingham (so called because it met at each full moon) and kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Blending science, art, and commerce, the Lunar Men built canals, launched balloons, named plants, gases and minerals, changed the face of England and the china in its drawing rooms, and plotted to revolutionise its soul. Jenny Uglow s The Lunar Men is a vivid and swarming group portrait that brings to life the friendships, political passions, love affairs, and love of knowledge (and power) that drove these extraordinary men. It echoes the thud of pistons and the wheeze and snort of engines, and brings to life the tradesmen, artisans, and tycoons who shaped and fired the modern age. Winner of the PEN Hessel-Tiltman prize for history, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography, The Lunar Men captures the creation of the modern world with lucid intelligence, sympathy and wisdom. Jenny Uglow is also the prize-winning author of Nature s Engraver, Elizabeth Gaskell: A Habit of Stories and most recently, In These Times.

The 2021-2022 season marked the 150th anniversary of the first FA Cup, the worldâ ™s oldest football knockout tournament. The inaugural matches began on 11 November 1871, with the final played at Kennington Oval on 16 March 1872, featuring the Royal Engineers. During the first decade, military teams played a pivotal role in the competition. Teams like the Royal Engineers, 1st Surrey Rifles, and 105th Regiment competed in 74 matches, winning over half and scoring 154 goals. Major Francis Marindin was instrumental as a player, referee, and administrator, shaping the FA Cup s legacy. Military figures achieved notable milestones in football history. The Royal Engineers reached the first FA Cup final. Lieutenant James Prinsep of the Essex Regiment was the youngest player to feature in a full match at the time, while Lieutenant William Maynard played in the first official international match for England. Captain William Kenyon-Slaney scored the first international goal for England, and Lieutenant Henry Renny-Tailyour scored Scotlandâ ™s first goal. The Early Years of the FA Cup explores the intersection of Victorian football and military history. It recounts FA Cup matches involving military players, their contributions to infrastructure and mapping, and their roles in conflicts such as the Zulu War, Afghanistan, and the Western Front, many sacrificing their lives.

A vivid, visceral and crucial read for our times BETTANY HUGHES Wonderful and insightful ADRIAN GOLDSWORTHYThe collapse of law and order in the last years of the Roman Republic told through the rise and fall of its most famous lawyer, Cicero.In its final decades, the Roman Republic was engulfed by crime. Cases of extortion, murder and insurrection gave an ambitious young lawyer named Cicero high-profile opportunities to litigate and forge a reputation as a master debater with a bright political future. In Lawless Republic, leading Roman historian Josiah Osgood recounts the legendary orator s ascent and fall, and his pivotal role in the republic s lurch toward autocracy. Cicero s first appearance in the courts came shortly after the end of a brutal civil war. After leveraging his fame as a lawyer to become a consul, he ruthlessly crushed a coup by suppressing the liberties of Roman citizens. The premiere legal mind of Rome came to argue that the pursuit of a higher justice could sometimes justify sweeping the law aside, laying the groundwork for Roman history s most famous act of political violence - the assassination of Julius Caesar. Lawless Republic vividly resurrects the spectacle of the courts in the time of Cicero and Caesar, showing how politics trumped the rule of law and sealed the fate of Rome.

This is the only book ever published which concentrates on Titanic people from one particular region â “ Greater Manchester. The RMS Titanic disaster, which occurred on the night of 14/15 April 1912, is one of historyâ ™s most catastrophic human tragedies, which resulted in a terrible sacrifice of life. The people on board were proud to be part of the shipâ ™s maiden voyage, but what they didnâ ™t know was that it was destined to be its only voyage. The county of Greater Manchester in the north-west of England is made up of the Metropolitan boroughs of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. More than 30 people from the region had connections with RMS Titanic - they being a mixture of passengers and crew, and the majority of them lost their lives.

Prague in the early twentieth century was the city of cubists, surrealists, and the Good Soldier vejk. This book takes a new approach to interwar Prague by identifying religion as an integral part of the city s cultural history. As Prague emerged as a modern city and the Czech nation gained independence, Catholics, Protestants, and those who imagined a non-sectarian religion debated questions of faith and morality. Contrary to the conventional view of modern Czech elites as atheistic, Berglund shows how they were deeply concerned with the place of religion in modern life. Based upon a wide array of sources, the monograph explores the linkages between politics, theology, and architecture in the building of new symbols and a civil religion for the first Czechoslovak republic (1918-1938). Berglund views the contest of the sacred and secular in Prague within the broader context of religious change in twentieth-century Europe. His book lays a foundation for understanding both Czech culture of the interwar period as well as the nation s and Europe s religious history in the modern age. The author takes an approach that is both interdisciplinary and biographical by focusing on important figures in the politics and culture of interwar Prague, including Tomá Masaryk, the philosopher who became Czechoslovakia s first president; his daughter Alice, founding director of the Czechoslovak Red Cross; and Joze Plecnik, the Slovenian architect who directed the renovations of Prague Castle and designed one of the city s most renowned churches. This study of the beliefs and doubts held by these and other figures shows the transition from a (mostly) Catholic tradition to a new religious conception that was modern, humanistic, and detached from any institution much like the religious beliefs held by many Europeans today.

I tu nejprobádanější krajinu můžeme objevovat stále znovu a znovu. Naši krajinu domova máme krásně vymezenou zvláštní kruhovou hradbou pohraničních hor. Kotlina Čech, sevřená tímto prstencem, je do sebe uzavřeným světem, zatímco široké úvaly Moravy se naopak otevírají jako náruč. Člověk se v té krajině učil žít a hospodařit tak dlouho, až z ní vytvořil prostor, kterému sám pro sebe začal říkat Zahrádka. Krajinu domova vnímáme jako zemský ráj, o kterém se zpívá v naší hymně. Najdeme zde mnoho koutů, kde jedinečné kouzlo a nezaměnitelná poetika Zahrádky ožívá i dnes. V této knize se spolu s námi projdete krajinou Hustopečské pahorkatiny a Pálavy, Železných hor a Žďárských vrchů, Bílých Karpat, Jizerských hor a Krkonoš, Nízkého a Hrubého Jeseníku. Podíváme se i na místa, v nichž se otiskly vzpomínky na sopky – do Českého středohoří a Slavkovského lesa. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmenný úspěšný televizní pořad, který získal prestižní hlavní cenu Tourfilmu, mezinárodního festivalu filmů s cestovatelskou tematikou. Úchvatné fotografie doprovázejí texty vyzdvihující pozoruhodnosti české a moravské krajiny a dokreslují je působivé ilustrace. Vychází v trojjazyčné verzi – česky, anglicky a německy. Fotografie Michal Matuška a Pavel Vacek Ilustrace František Žáček ------------------------------ Even the most explored land can be rediscovered again and again. Our homeland is beautifully delimited by a special rounded wall of borderline mountains. The Czech Basin, enclosed in this mountainous ring, is a world wrapped up in itself, while the wide valleys of Moravia seem to open their arms. The man has been learning to live in this land and manage it for such a long time that he created a space the man himself named a small garden. We perceive our homeland as the Paradise on Earth, the one that is sung about in the national anthem. There are many places left in our country where its unique magic and its unmistakable poetics are still alive to these days. In this book you can join us for a walk in the country of the Hustopeče Downs and the Pálava, the Iron Mountains and the Žďár Heights, the White Carpathians, the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, the Nízký and the Hrubý Jeseník. We can also visit places where memories of volcanoes left their prints – the Central Bohemian Highlands and the Emperor’s Forest. The book is a follow-up to a successful TV series with the same name, which achieved the prestigious main prize of Tourfilm, an international festival of travel movies. Breath-taking photographs are accompanied by texts emphasizing Czech and Moravian regions and supplemented with impressive illustrations. Photos Michal Matuška end Pavel Vacek Illustrations František Žáček ----------------------------- Auch die meisterforschte Landschaft können wir immer wieder neu entdecken. Unsere Heimatlandschaft ist schön eingegrenzt durch den besonderen ringförmigen Wall der Grenzgebirge. Der von diesem Ring umschlossene böhmische Kessel ist eine in sich abgeschlossene Welt, während sich dagegen die weiten Täler Mährens öffnen wie ausgebreitete Arme. Der Mensch hat so lange in dieser Landschaft leben und wirtschaften gelernt, bis er einen Raum aus ihr gemacht hat, den er für sich selbst Garten zu nennen begann. Wir nehmen unsere Heimatlandschaft wie das Paradies auf Erden wahr, von dem in unserer Hymne gesungen wird. Es gibt in unserer Landschaft noch viele Ecken, wo ihr einzigartiger Zauber und unverwechselbare Poesie lebendig bis heute ist. In diesem Buch werden Sie mit uns durch die Landschaften des Auspitzer Hügellands und der Pollauer Berge, des Eisengebirges und der Saarer Berge, der Weißen Karpaten, des Isergebirges und des Riesengebirges, des Mährischen Gesenkes und des Hohen Gesenkes wandern. Wir werden auch Orte sehen, die Erinnerungen an Vulkane bergen: das Böhmische Mittelgebirge und den Kaiserwald. Das Buch knüpft an die gleichnamige erfolgreiche Fernsehsendung an, die den renommierten Hauptpreis von Tourfilm, dem internationalen Reisefilmfestival gewonnen hat. Die Texte, die das Bemerkenswerteste der böhmischen und mährischen Landschaften hervorheben, sind begleitet von hinreißende Fotos und eindrucksvollen Illustrationen.

A brand new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Silk Roads Masterly mapping out of a new world order – Evening Standard Revised and updated edition The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

The powerful, heart-breaking memoir of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of AuschwitzBorn in Prague to a Jewish family in 1929, Dita Kraus has lived through the most turbulent decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Here, Dita writes with startling clarity on the horrors and joys of a life delayed by the Holocaust.

But she also looks beyond the Holocaust - to the life she rebuilt after the war: her marriage to fellow survivor Otto B Kraus, a new life in Israel and the happiness and heartbreaks of motherhood.Part of Dita s story was told in fictional form in the Sunday Times bestseller The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe.
