The bestselling author of Team of Teams dismantles the Great Man theory of leadership, by profiling leaders whose real stories defy their legends. In Leaders, retired four-star general Stan McChrystal explores what leadership really means, debunking the many myths that have surrounded the concept. He focuses on thirteen great leaders, showing that the lessons we commonly draw from their lives are seldom the correct ones. Leaders featured in the book include: Founders: Walt Disney and Coco Chanel Zealots: Maximilien Robespierre and Abu Musab Zarkawi Powerbrokers: Margaret Thatcher and Boss Tweed And other leaders profiled include geniuses Albert Einstein and Leonard Bernstein, reformers Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr., and heroes Harriet Tubman and Zheng He. Ultimately, McChrystal posits that different environments will require different leaders, and that followers will choose the leader they need. Aspiring leaders will be best served not by cultivating a standard set of textbook leadership qualities, but by learning to discern what is required in each situation. 'Leaders rexamines old notions of leadership - especially the outdated view that history is shaped by great men going it alone' - SHERYL SANDBERG, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org 'Leaders takes us deeper than most other leadership books into the true and often messy mechanics of leadership. Anyone who considers themselves a student of leadership must read this book' - SIMON SINEK, optimist and author of Start With Why and Leader Eat Last

Through ancient wonders, world capitals, and tiny places with infectious personalities, Europe packs some serious travel punches.

Selected for their breathtaking locations and interiors, each haven offers the surroundings of style and the serenity in which everyday life can melt away. Angelika Taschen reveals such gems as Der Seehof, an idyllic site on an Austrian lake where guests can fish for their dinner; a 150-year old Portuguese estate refurbished by Pritzker Prize-winner Eduardo Souto De Moura, which remains a working farm to this day; and Budsjord, last stop on one of the loneliest pilgrimage routes in the world, situated at the edge of the Dovrefjell National Park in Norway-to name just a few. A treasure trove of travel inspiration, this must-have guide profiles each hotel through postcard-ready photography as well as key information like directions, contact details, and reading inspiration for each destination.

Boh hovorí veľa a hovorí ku každému človeku. Niekedy máme problém s tým, že ho nepočujeme alebo nevieme rozlíšiť, čo nám presne hovorí. Ak sa to naučíme, ľahšie odhalíme Boží plán pre náš život a budeme schopní naplniť Božie povolanie. Zámerom tejto publikácie je povzbudiť každého človeka v tom, že naučiť sa počúvať Boží hlas nie je zložité. Keď si osvojíme niekoľko základných princípov, aj život plný váhavého tápania a neistoty sa môže zmeniť na vzrušujúce dobrodružstvo s Bohom. V knihe nájdete tieto témy: Počúvanie Božieho hlasu, Lepšie počuť Boží hlas, Ako vedieť, čo Boh hovorí?, Osobné kráčanie v Duchu a v Jeho moci, Rozlišovanie, Nie je nebezpečné padnúť, nebezpečné je zostať ležať na zemi, Charizmy, Rozhovor s pátrom redemptoristom Jozefom Mihokom o charizmatickej obnove v Cirkvi, Praktické cvičenia.

'These annual anthologies of the poems in the running for the Forward Prizes remain the best way of encountering the richness that new poetry has to offer.' Daily Telegraph The Forward Book of Poetry 2020 brings together a selection of the best poetry published in the British Isles over the last year, including the winners of the 2019 Forward Prizes - and a foreword by jury chair Shahidha Bari. She and her fellow judges - Jamie Andrews of the British Library, plus poets Tara Bergin, Andrew McMillan and Carol Rumens - read a year's worth of new collections plus selected poems from magazines and competitions before arriving at their choices. In celebrating today's fresh voices alongside new work by familiar names, this anthology offers both an overview of the current poetry scene and a great introduction to contemporary poets. 'The Forward collection is a cornucopia of sweet and sour delights . . . Why read poetry at all? Because these firework-bursts of words can lighten the darkest skies.' Daily Mail

Rozhodnutie prezidenta Václava Havla z 1. januára 1990 o amnestii pre viac než 21 000 odsúdených v československých väzniciach bolo veľkým revolučným predelom - symbolickým krokom k rozchodu s praktikami komunistického súdnictva a zároveň prvým zásadným politickým rozhodnutím nového prezidenta, ktoré sa stalo trvalou súčasťou jeho politického a morálneho odkazu. Aj vďaka medializovaným prípadom trestných činov prepustených väzňov sa však z amnestie postupom času stal ľahký terč pre Havlových kritikov a politických oponentov. Mýty o "Havlovej amnestii" sa šíria dodnes aj pre absenciu výskumných, publicistických či literárnych prác na danú tému. Publikácia Amnestie má za cieľ aspoň z malej časti túto medzeru vyplniť. Kniha vychádza pri príležitosti uvedenia filmovej drámy Amnestie do kín. Jej súčasťou je literárna adaptácia scenára filmu s ilustráciami Jozefa Gertliho Danglára, eseje slovenského historika Fedora Blaščáka a Lenky Marečkovej, českej disidentky a neskôr vedúcej oddelenia trestnoprávneho a milostí v Kancelárii prezidenta Václava Havla, spomienky účastníkov udalostí súvisiacich s väzenskou vzburou v Leopoldove (Fedor Gál, Michael Kocáb, Joska Skalník, Štefan Hríb, Roman Kvasnica, Ladislav Snopko a ďalší) i niekoľko odborných štúdii o amnestii z 1. 1. 1990 publikovaných v dobových kriminologických zborníkoch.

V posledním desetiletí stoupá počet pacientů s chronickým selháním ledvin, jejichž léčba je velmi komplikovaná - ať už z důvodu závažných přidružených onemocnění, pokročilého věku, nebo kombinace obou faktorů. U řady těchto nemocných je zahájení dialýzy spojeno se zhoršením funkčního stavu a kvality života. Cílem podpůrné nefrologické péče je udržet dobrou kvalitu života ve fázi pokročilého onemocnění ledvin. Zlepšení farmakoterapie obtížných fyzických symptomů, jako je bolest, dušnost, nauzea, nechutenství, únava, syndrom neklidných nohou, pruritus či nespavost, je nezbytnou součástí komplexní péče o tyto pacienty. Kromě řešení somatických obtíží je třeba věnovat pozornost i oblasti psychické, sociální a spirituální.Téma poskytování paliativní péče je komplikované a v českém zdravotnictví zatím stále poměrně nové. V současnosti přibývá nefrologů, kteří jsou motivovaní k zavedení paliativní péče do běžné praxe. Problémem je absence odborné publikace, která by téma popisovala komplexně včetně praktických doporučení. Cílem je udržet dobrou kvalitu života ve fázi pokročilého onemocnění ledvin.

Then explore other galactic formations and learn about galactic clusters and superclusters. By the end of the book, you'll have a sense for the structure of the entire Universe as well as some of the big questions we still have as we ponder our place in it.
