John Berger
An illuminating new life of the peerless thinker, artist and author of Ways of SeeingTom Overton got to know John Berger around 2010, after he gave his archive to the British Library: a kind of homecoming to the city of his birth, after a life lived mostly in self-imposed exile in Switzerland and France. Curious about the origin of a piece of writing or art, Tom would scan something in and email it. Then there’d come a call, very early, very late. ‘Hello? Is that Tom? This is John. John Berger. Can I tell you a story?’ Tom realised he was bringing this archive back into John’s life, peering together through holes in time, remembering things he couldn’t himself. And then, at the beginning of 2017, John died.In this extraordinary new book, Overton explores the life and work of one of the great cultural figures of the last century, who came of age in a world threatened by nuclear apocalypse, and grew old in a world dominated by the idea that human life should be ordered with the logic of profit, always looking forward, never back. Berger’s work reimagined the relationship between art and technology; charted the disappearance of peasants from the world and documented migrant labour; explored with huge compassion the AIDS crisis; was trenchantly opposed to the new world order that emerged in the 1990s and the War on Terror and passionately committed to the Palestinian cause. There were so many different subjects to his work; so many precisely chosen forms. Cutting through the reverence that can build around any writer of his scope of achievement and drawing on both personal memory and a vast and previously unseen trove of material, Overton comes face to face with John Berger, showing the continued importance of a figure, whose work focused on the creating and recreating of communities past and present. For at the centre of this book, above all, is the idea that John Berger wants our company, and we need his.

Předčasný porod
Předčasný porod představuje závažný problém, jak z hlediska medicínského, tak z hlediska socioekonomického. Problematika se dělí do dvou základních okruhů, spontánní předčasný porod a předčasný porod indikovaný, nejčastěji z důvodů mateřských nemocí či komplikacím na straně plodu.
Kniha předává ucelené informace o příčinách, klinickém obrazu, managementu, predikci a prevenci spontánního předčasného porodu. Stejně tak se věnuje základnímu popisu témat, které vedou k indikovanému předčasnému porodu, tj. preeklampsii, problematice vícečetného těhotenství, fetální růstové restrikci a trombotickým mikroangiopatiím. Přináší také základní informace o neonatologických aspektech péče. V jednotlivých kapitolách se věnujeme i nejnovějším výzkumným poznatkům. Primární prevence předčasného porodu zatím neexistuje, nicméně rychlý vývoj v oblasti výzkumu přináší různé možnosti sekundární prevence nebo minimálně velmi efektivním a racionálním léčebným možnostem. Kniha přináší aktuální přístup k jednotlivým tématům jak z hlediska běžné denní praxe, tak i možné vize dalšího vývoje v oblasti výzkumu, tak i péče. Může pomoci osvětlit problematiku předčasného porodu jak lékařům různých oborů, tak i ostatním zdravotníkům.

A Short History of the Gaza Strip
‘An excellent primer . . . Essential reading’ GUARDIAN
*
History matters, especially in Palestine.
In this essential account, historian Anne Irfan reveals the long-term roots of Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza. She examines six key moments in its history that provide vital context for the present day, beginning with Israel’s expulsion of the Palestinian people in 1948, when the Gaza region was truncated to a tiny ‘Strip’ of 141 square miles, through to Israel’s occupations, the first intifada and the rise of Hamas. Drawing on a decade of meticulous research, she cuts through the misinformation and conflicting narratives to tell a story that begins long before the Hamas-led attacks of October 7 and centres Gaza as a microcosm of the Palestinian struggle. Clear-sighted and compassionate, this is an account that foregrounds the voices of Palestinians of all walks of life, from farmers and teachers to poets and activists.
A Short History of the Gaza Strip is an indispensable primer for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge of Palestine and the wider region.
