The Political Economy of Security
The complex and multifaceted relationship between economic factors and conflictIn this book, Stephen Brooks provides a systematic empirical and theoretical examination of how economic factors influence security affairs. Empirically, he analyzes how economic variables of all kinds affect interstate war, terrorism, and civil war; in total, sixteen pathways are examined. Brooks shows that the relationship between economic factors and conflict is complex and multifaceted; discrete economic factors—such as international trade, economic development, and globalized manufacturing, to name a few—are sometimes helpful for promoting peace and stability, but at other times are detrimental. Brooks also develops a stronger theoretical foundation for guiding future research on the economics-security interaction. Drawing on Adam Smith, he provides a more complete range of answers to the three key conceptual questions analysts must consider: how economic goals relate to security goals; what economic factors to focus on; and how economic actors influence security policies. Combining an innovative theoretical understanding with empirical rigor, Brooks’s account will reshape our understanding of the political economy of security.
Minka.Vilemína Podhajská (1881-1963)
Osobnost Minky Podhajské zůstávala doposud mimo hlavní zájem o výtvarnou tvorbu žen počátku 20. století, možná i proto, že polovinu života prožila ve Vídni, kde se narodila a získala výtvarné vzdělání. její umělecké schopnosti zahrnovaly širokou škálu: byla malířkou, kreslířkou, ilustrátorkou hraček, návrhářkou keramických souprav - zkoušela všechno, co nejprve škola a později praxe poskytovala. Dcera českých rodičů mluvila česky, německy, francouzsky, anglicky, hrála ochotnické divadlo, zpívala, milovala cestování. První světovou válku prožila ještě ve Vídni a záhy po jejím skončení, po rozpadu Rakouska-Uherska, odešla do Prahy. Minka Podhajská spojovala dva světy - vídeňský a český: ještě v době, kdy žila ve Vídni, se aktivně zapojovala i do dění na české scéně, pracovala pro Artěl a Hořické hračkářské družstvo. Po svém přestěhování do Československa se stala profesorkou, profesionálně se věnovala návrhářství hraček a malbě. Byla komplexní umělkyní, schopnou pracovat v mnoha oborech. Získání nových informací a objev dalších děl autorky se stalo podnětem k vydání této publikace s vědomím, že nejsou vyloučeny další objevy týkající se tvorby této nevšední umělkyně. texty: Eva Neumannová (ed.), Eva Bendová, Marie Míčová grafický design: Štěpán Malovec

There she meets handsome and fascinating 29-year-old Lucas Velasco, who fled Madrid years ago to escape his toxic family.

But he found a community that welcomed him with open arms and created for himself a beautifully carefree life.
Seeing the opportunity to share that warmth with Maya, who has nowhere to go, he takes her into his home, and what starts as an uplifting friendship blossoms into love. But when Lucas discovers the secrets that Maya has been keeping from him, their love is tested to the limit, and when both return to Madrid, the turmoil of family ties and conflict tear them apart. Only when they can resolve their family traumas, can they begin to find their way back to each other.
Archeologie ve jménu národa a vlasti
Kniha se věnuje konferenci, která byla titulárně věnována výročí 100 let od vzniku Německé společnosti pro pravěk a ranou dobu dějinnou v Československu (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in der Tschechoslowakei), spolku sdružujícího především národnostně německé prehistoriky a zájemce o tento obor v meziválečném Československu, oficiálně konstituované 1. listopadu 1924 v Ústí nad Labem. Tematicky byla zaměřena na interetnické (česko-německé, slovensko-české, slovensko-německé, maďarsko-slovenské apod.) vztahy ve středoevropské archeologii. V prostorách konference bylo po celou dobu možné zhlédnout unikátní výstavu poštovních známek a cenin s archeologickými motivy z celého světa, nepatrnou část jedné soukromé sbírky.

Women, Resistance and Revolution : A History of Women and Revolution in the Modern World
In Women, Resistance and Revolution, Sheila Rowbotham traces four centuries of feminist struggle and revolutionary politics. She reveals how women have confronted the dual challenges of an unjust state system and patriarchal social prejudice. First published in 1972, Women, Resistance and Revolution is a major statement of second-wave feminism on the need for revolution within the revolution. It is also a rich and expansive history of radical consciousness.
Rowbotham charts the acceleration of feminist activity and theory after the French Revolution, despite the ambiguities of 'liberty, equality, fraternity' for women. She examines pivotal works such as Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Flora Tristan's Workers' Union and Engels's Origin of the Family, showing how women's liberation became a live and often explosive issue in emerging socialist movements. Her narrative spans feminist currents in revolutionary Russia and China, exploring fascinating creative experiments during early Bolshevik rule, and extends to women's roles in anti-colonial struggles in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam.
This classic work remains as urgent, vivid and inspiring as ever.
