On the eve of Queen Elizabeth II''s historic 70th anniversary on the throne, Tracy Borman''s sweeping narrative of the British monarchy illuminates one of history''s most iconic and enduring legacies Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England''s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain''s throne: "shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue''s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs," as Tracy Borman evocatively describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne''s occupant been unambiguously English―the Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day have dominated the throne. Appealing to the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Glorious Revolution of 1688, have more ceremonially reigned―a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe''s royals to an abrupt end. Richard III; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and dramatic events, forming the sweep of British history that Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: the impact of royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. In 2024, Elizabeth II would eclipse France''s Louis XIV as the longest reigning monarch in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents.

Years ago, when he was a homicide detective with the Seattle PD, J. P. Beaumont''s partner, Sue Danielson, was murdered. Volatile and angry, Danielson''s ex-husband came after her in her home and, with nowhere else to turn, Jared, Sue''s teenage son, frantically called Beau for help. As Beau rushed to the scene, he urged Jared to grab his younger brother and flee the house. In the end, Beaumont''s plea and Jared''s quick action saved the two boys from their father''s murderous rage. Now, almost twenty years later, Jared reappears in Beau''s life seeking his help once again-his younger brother Chris is missing. Still haunted by the events of that tragic night, Beau doesn''t hesitate to take on the case. Following a lead all the way to the wilds of wintertime Alaska, he encounters a tangled web of family secrets in which a killer with nothing to lose is waiting to take another life.

Gavin Bridson, bibliographer at the Hunt Institute, explains in the introduction that before printmaking the main problem for artists was distributing botanical drawings so that botanists everywhere could study them. Bridson goes on to trace the history of printing methods for botanical illustrations through five centuries. With the aid of photographic enlargement of details in a one to one ratio, 72 examples of relief, intaglio, planographic, nature-prints and photographic printing techniques are analyzed in this catalogue that accompanied a 1986 exhibition.

"Drawing together an impressive range of existing studies and displaying a dazzling grasp of program and budgetary details, White shows again and again that critics of Medicare and Social Security have hidden highly contested value judgments behind a veil of public-spirited alarmism. Despite treading familiar ground, False Alarm bristles with original arguments." -- Health Affairs

Připravte se zemřít. Jeho království se blíží. Šestnáctiletý trans chlapec Benji je na útěku před kultem, který ho vychoval – před fundamentalistickou sektou, která rozpoutala Armageddon a zdecimovala světovou populaci. Zoufale hledá místo, kde by se k němu kult nedostal, ale hlavně kde by se nedostal k biologické zbrani, kterou Benjiho infikovali. Když však netvoři zrození z destrukce zaženou Benjiho do kouta, zachrání ho skupina teenagerů z místního Achesonského LGBTQ+ centra, kterému láskyplně říkají ALC. Nick, vůdce ALC, je fešák, autista a ostrostřelec a zná Benjiho nejtemnější tajemství: že BEnji kvůli biologické zbrani kultu mutuje v netvora natolik smrtícího, že by mohl jednou provždy vymazat lidstvo z tváře Země. Přesto Nick nabídne Benjimu útočiště mezi členy své nesourodé skupiny queer teenagerů, pokud ovšem udrží Benji monstrum pod kontrolou a bude jeho moc využívat na obranu ALC. Benji na Nickovy podmínky přistoupí, neboť touží někam patřit... dokud ovšem neodhalí, že tajuplný vůdce ALC má skryté úmysly a nemálo vlastních tajemství. Za námi šlo Záhrobí je zuřivý queer románový debut o přijetí netvora v sobě a o obrácení jeho moci proti utiskovatelům. Dokonalá volba pro fanoušky Gideon Deváté a Anihilace.

"Catholic theology has to ask and answer fundamental questions: what is the nature and content of Christian revelation, what are the sources of revelation, how are the mysteries of the faith to be understood in relation to one another, and how do the truths of the Catholic faith relate to those of natural reason. In this four book set within the larger Thomistic Ressourcement series, Thomas Joseph White answers these fundamental questions and discusses the central mysteries of faith as they relate to God and human beings. Book 1 is a set of essays about the task of Catholic theology from a Thomistic point of view. Book 2 is an argument for the reasonableness of Christianity in a secular and pluralistic age. Book 3 is a set of essays on Trinitarian, Christological, and creation theology. Book 4 is a set of essays on theological anthopology, including Mariology and ecclesiology"--
