Pierre-Marie Sotto je slavný, u čtenářů úspěšný a kritikou oceňovaný spisovatel. Je to ale také stárnoucí, osamělý muž, a pokud jde o jeho práci – momentálně je v hluboké tvůrčí krizi. Jednoho dne k němu dorazí objemná obálka bez zpáteční adresy; jediný kontakt na ní uvedený je e-mailová adresa jisté Adeline Parmelanové. Sotto nepochybuje, že mu nějaká „nadějná spisovatelka“ posílá k posouzení svůj rukopis. Obálku neotevře, odesílatelku zdvořile odmítne a požádá ji o adresu, kam by mohl zásilku vrátit. Než mu Adeline vyhoví, vymění si spolu několik e-mailů, které jsou natolik vtipné a zajímavé, že v dopisování pokračují a objemná obálka zůstává (na žádost Adeline) ležet neotevřená na Sottově polici. Jenomže je v tom háček…

Vissza tud jutni a hatalomba egy bűnöző politikus? Miként használja a terror fegyverét, hogy befolyásolja Európa döntéshozóit? Mekkora káoszt képes gerjeszteni egyetlen ember hatalomvágya? Egy háborús bűnös alkut kötött Európa vezetőivel, hogy elárulva társait, mentse magát a rá váró büntetéstől, de képtelen az árnyékban élni. Ismeri az öreg kontinens gyenge pontjait, hiszen évekig irányított a háttérből. Kapcsolatain és vagyonán keresztül nemzetközi összeesküvést sző, sakkbábuként irányítva a nagyhatalmakat. Lesz, aki átlát a terror útvesztőin? Elég egy maroknyi ember, hogy megfékezze a zűrzavart? 2001-ben jelent meg Tarjányi Péter és Dosek Rita könyve, az Ördögi Kötelék Magyarországon és az USA-ban. Egy regény, amely előre jelezte a mai Európa válságát.

An engrossing guide to seeing - and communicating - more clearly from the groundbreaking course that helps FBI agents, cops, CEOs, ER docs, and others save money, reputations, and lives. How could looking at Monet's water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can checking out people's footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief? In her celebrated seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their "visual intelligence," a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day. Whether you want to be more effective on the job, more empathetic toward your loved ones, or more alert to the trove of possibilities and threats all around us, this book will show you how to see what matters most to you more clearly than ever before.

Az emberek a civilizáció kezdetétől fogva arra törekedtek, hogy megvédjék az általuk létrehozott közösségeket, és tovább terjeszkedjenek. Ahhoz, hogy egy birodalom sikeres és hosszú életű legyen, kulcsfontosságú volt az újszerű katonai eszközök használata. A csatákat hosszú évezredeken át kizárólag földön és vízen vívták, a levegő csupán a közelmúltban vált hadszíntérré. A repülőgépek megjelenésével azonban egyből felmerült a légi hadviselés gondolata is. E kötet több mint hatvan hihetetlen harci gépezetet mutat be, melyeket a történelem során földön, vízen és levegőben bevetettek. Lenyűgöző, élethű illusztrációk, leírások, látványos csatajelenetek szemléltetik, hogyan alkalmazták ezeket a szerkezeteket a harcban. Fedezzük fel, hogyan jutott el a technikai fejlődés a hettita harci szekértől a T-34 harckocsiig, a római hadigályáktól a Nimitz-osztályú repülőgép-anyahajókig, vagy a Fokker Dr.1-től az F-14 Tomcatig. Az emberiség nem csak a modern korban készített különleges harci eszközöket. Sok ezer évvel ezelőtt az egyiptomiak már lóvontatású harci szekereket használtak a csatákban. Ezek a szerkezetek a kor gyalogosainál jóval gyorsabbak, mozgékonyabbak és erősebbek voltak. A katonai gépezetek tökéletesítése a görög hadigályáktól a középkori ostromszerkezetig töretlenül folytatódott tovább. Napjaink pilótái modern, sugárhajtású vadászgépeik segítségével könnyűszerrel elérik még a földfelszín feletti 15000 méteres magasságot is, ahol akár a hangsebesség kétszeresével száguldhatnak, hogy pillanatok alatt eljussanak bármely hadszíntérre. E könyvből megismerhetjük azt az utat, amely e lenyűgöző, modern haditechnikáig vezetett, áttekintve a múlt és a jelen legnagyszerűbb harci gépezeteit. A fegyverek, valamint a döbbenetes csatajelenetek látványos képei szemléltetik, hogyan is működtek ezek a szerkezetek éles helyzetben.

Autoři si dali za cíl poskytnout přehled poznatků o šikaně jako o komplikovaném jevu, o teoriích, jež postihují jeho jednotlivé stránky, o výzkumných metodách i konkrétních problémových situacích, které jsou pro ni typické. Jejich výsledky shromážděné teoretickým bádáním a empirickým výzkumem jsou nesporným přínosem pro českou agresologii a sociální psychologii. Při analýze problematiky šikany mezi dětmi a mládeží vycházejí z nejnovějších teorií lidské agrese, vývojové psychologie a psychologie dětských skupin. Zaměřují se na především na méně závažné formy šikany, vyčleňování a ignorování, se kterými se učitelé a žáci setkávají ve většině školních tříd. Jen v menší míře se věnují pokročilé šikaně. Všechny poznatky demonstrují na příkladech z praxe.
