    • Prakticko-teologická reflexe Jednou z oblastí, v níž církve po roce 1989 obnovily svou činnost, bylo zdravotnictví. V nemocnicích začala být postupně zaváděna tzv. duchovní péče poskytovaná nemocničními kaplany z různých církví. Dnes je již duchovní péče etablovaná v celé řadě nemocnic v České republice a dostává se do povědomí lidí jako nedílná součást celkové péče o pacienta. V knize Nemocniční kaplanství a alternativní spiritualita je tato péče zasazena do kontextu mezní životní situace, kterou pro mnohé pacienty a jejich rodinné příslušníky představuje závažné onemocnění. Autorka knihy v prakticko- teologické perspektivě hledá odpověď na otázku, zda je závažné onemocnění prostorem pro křesťanství, jež v nemocnicích reprezentuje zmíněná duchovní péče, či pro nejrůznější podoby tzv. alternativní spirituality, se kterou se lze v tomto prostředí rovněž setkat. Tato otázka je zároveň otázkou po úloze, místu, opodstatnění a podobě křesťanské duchovní péče v systému převážně sekulárních českých nemocnic.

      Sitting on a California beach at summer's end, Jane Marsh thinks back to her childhood at the estate called Elvie in a remote corner of Scotland. She remembers not only the heather-covered hills and the lonesome loch, but her grandmother . . . and, of course, Sinclair. She has secretly dreamed of marrying rakishly handsome Sinclair and settling at Elvie forever. Then an urgent visit from her grandmother's lawyer becomes the catalyst for her return to Scotland . . . Where waiting for her is passion, not gentle love, and the chilling realisation that she may be ready to wed the wrong man.

    • "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel—a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice—but the weight of history will only tolerate so much. One of the best-loved classics of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many dis-tinctions since its original publication in 1960. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. It was also named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the country (Library Journal). HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition.

      From a quiet turn-of-the-century village in upstate New York to war-torn London, from the bedsides of the rural poor to the life-and-death urgency of a great New York City hospital, this is a powerful epic of three generations of doctors in one magnificent family. The Farrells-dedicated, brilliant.. and driven to the edge of destruction by a love no human force could suppress.
