I Hate Men
The feminist book they tried to ban in France
'A delightful book' Roxane Gay
Women, especially feminists and lesbians, have long been accused of hating men. Our instinct is to deny it at all costs. (After all, women have been burnt at the stake for admitting to less.)
But what if mistrusting men, disliking men - and yes, maybe even hating men - is, in fact, a useful response to sexism? What if such a response offers a way out of oppression, a means of resistance? What if it even offers a path to joy, solidarity and sisterhood?
In this sparkling essay, as mischievous and provocative as it is urgent and serious, Pauline Harmange interrogates modern attitudes to feminism and makes a rallying cry for women to find a greater love for each other - and themselves.
The Common Reader
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
The only advice, indeed, that one person can give another about reading is to take no advice, to follow your own instincts, to use your own reason, to come to your own conclusions.
In her second volume of essays, Virginia Woolf delves deeper into the delights of reading. Here, she explores the novels of Thomas Hardy and Daniel Defoe, and recounts the fascinating lives of Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft. In ‘ How Should One Read a Book?’ she offers sage advice for the common reader, and sheds light on the lessons and pleasures literature can provide.
Published in 1932, The Common Reader: Second Series is a wise and illuminating companion collection to her 1925 First Series. Woolf’s enduring appeal and ideas continue to resonate with readers in the twenty-first century.

Kurzarbeit na Slovensku. Vznik tohto nového právneho predpisu ako samostatného a stabilného zákona vyplynul z priebehu ekonomickej krízy v dôsledku pandémie spôsobenej šírením ochorenia COVID-19 a tiež zo skúseností spojených s využívaním štátnej podpory vo forme tzv. „Prvej pomoci“. V súvislosti so schválenými legislatívnymi zmenami dochádza aj k úprave vykazovania preddavkov na poistné na zdravotné poistenie a vykazovania poistného na sociálne poistenia.

Ak zamestnanec nenastúpi do práce bez ospravedlnenia (napr. preukázaná pracovná neschopnosť, čerpanie dovolenky a pod.), ide o neospravedlnenú absenciu, čo znamená porušenie pracovnej disciplíny.
Zmeny vo výpočte exekučných zrážok v praxi
Zmenil sa spôsob výpočtu nepostihnuteľnej sumy, ktorá sa nesmie povinnému zraziť z mesačnej mzdy osobitne pre uspokojenie neprednostných pohľadávok a osobitne pre uspokojenie prednostných pohľadávok.

On Our Best Behaviour
Why do women equate self-denial with being 'good'?
We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We put others' needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. Journalist and podcast host Elise Loehnen explains that these impulses – often lauded as distinctly feminine instincts – are actually ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits, via an extraordinarily effective collection of social mores:
Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.
These so-called 'deadly sins' have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. For instance, a fear of gluttony drives us to ignore our appetites and an aversion to greed prevents us from negotiating a better salary at work.
So, what would happen if we stopped trying to be 'good'?
Provocative and bold, On Our Best Behaviour is a probing analysis of history and contemporary culture that explains how women have internalised the patriarchy, and how they unwittingly reinforce it. By sharing her own story and the spiritual wisdom of other traditions, Elise Loehnen shows how we can break free and discover a path toward a more balanced, fulfilled way to live.
Prvotní otisky
Dr. Arthur Janov, celosvětově uznávaný psycholog, který získal své tituly B.A. a M.S.W. na Kalifornské
univerzitě v Los Angeles a Ph.D. v psychologii na Claremont Graduate School, se již více než třicet let věnuje
revolučnímu výzkumu na poli psychoterapie. Se svou ženou France založil Institut primární terapie v Santa Monice a
napsal 11 knih, včetně mezinárodního best-selleru Prvotní výkřik. Je považován za otce „primární terapie“, metody
umožňující vyrovnat se s nejranějšími, nevědomými traumaty, která skrytě ovlivňují život většiny z nás.
Poslední dobou vychází tolik knih o výchově dětí, že rodiče, kteří je čtou, mohou snadno získat pocit, že vychovat
zdravé dítě je téměř nemožné. Je toho tolik, co musí člověk vědět, a tolik věcí se může pokazit. Rád bych proto
zdůraznil, že smyslem této knihy není ještě více komplikovat již tak nelehkou situaci rodičů, ale osvětlit jim, které
události prenatálního období vývoje dítěte a porodu na něj mohou mít vliv. A kromě toho, mým hlavním záměrem je
pomoci rodičům v tom, aby mohli dát svým dětem co nejlepší podmínky pro zdravý život. Doufám, že se mi podaří
alespoň trochu ozřejmit, jak se stáváme tím, kdo jsme, a jak rané zkušenosti formují naši osobnost, zájmy a
přesvědčení – a stejně tak i nutkání, obsese a symptomy. Jak náš výzkum pokračuje, vychází čím dál jasněji najevo,
jakých chyb se na dětech dopouštíme. Bylo by však další chybou trápit se minulostí a pocity viny. Je třeba využít
nejnovější poznání a dívat se do budoucnosti s odhodláním tyto chyby již neopakovat. - A. Janov
The Geek Way
The bestselling, influential author of The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee explains how engineers and geeks are changing the world of business - with extraordinary results. We're living in a time of amazing innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important of all: the innovation to the company itself. A new model is being pioneered by geeks; a radical new mindset that has shifted the paradigm entirely on what a business can - and should - be.
They do not follow the rules of the Industrial era, with their hierarchies and bureaucratic ways of thinking. They do not follow the principles preached in business schools since the dawn of time. They have all dedicated themselves to approaching business as a geek would: through trial and error, egalitarianism, evidence and stress-testing ideas in a group setting - rather than relying on the boss's instincts.
By investigating and surveying the contemporary research in psychology, economics and the behavioural sciences, as well as first-hand accounts from the 'geek' leaders of today, McAfee's groundbreaking exploration of this emerging phenomenon gets to the heart of the tectonic shifts taking place all over the business world. We have entered a new age. And this age will transform how we achieve great things, now and into the future.
The future is geek.
The Porcelain Maker
Two lovers caught at the crossroads of history
A daughter’s search for the truth
Germany, 1929.
When Max, a Jewish architect, and Bettina, a beautiful and celebrated German avant-garde artist, meet at a party their attraction is instant. In love with each other and the art they create, their talent transports them to the dazzling lights of Berlin. But Germany is on the brink of terrible change, and their bright beginning is soon dimmed by the rising threat of Nazism.
When Max is arrested and sent to the Dachau concentration camp, it is only his talent at making the exquisite porcelain figures so beloved by the Nazis that stands between him and certain death. At first, Bettina has no idea where Max has been taken but when she learns of his fate, she is determined to rescue him whatever the cost.
Now, a lifetime later, Bettina’s daughter, Clara, sets out on a journey to uncover the truth about her identity. As she weaves together the fabric of her past, she discovers the terrible secret her mother wanted hidden forever.
For fans of Heather Morris and Kristin Hannah, The Porcelain Maker is a sweeping, epic story of love, betrayal and art, set across Europe from the 1920s Weimar Republic, to dark and glittering 1930s Berlin.

The Principle of Moments
6066: In Emperor Thracin's brave new galaxy, humans are not citizens but indentured labourers, working to repay the debt they unwittingly incurred when they settled on Gahraan - a desert planet already owned by the emperor himself. Asha Akindele knows she's just another voiceless cog working the assembly lines that fuel his vast imperial war machine. Her only rebellion: studying stolen aeronautics manuals in the dead of night. But then a cloaked stranger arrives to deliver an impossible message, and her life changes in an instant.
1812: Obi Amadi is done with time-travelling. Never mind the fact he doesn't know how to cure himself of the temporal sickness he caught whilst anchoring his soul to Regency London, the one that unmakes him further with every jump. Or if the prince he loves will ever love him back. Or why his father disappeared. He is done. Until he hears about the ghost of a girl in the British Museum. A girl from another time.
When Obi's path tangles with Asha's and a prophecy awakens in the cold darkness of space, they must voyage through the stars, racing against time, tyranny, and the legacy of three heroes from an ancient religion who may be awakening, reincarnated in ways beyond comprehension.
A love letter to Black readers of science-fantasy, The Principle of Moments is a symphonic, centuries-spanning adventure - unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the alternate London of V. E. Schwab, and the virtuosic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.
A Hedetske Full of Music
Foreword by Bob Stanley
On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped him in his tracks.
The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since.
Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first life-changing explosion of rock and also includes great soul soul stars such as Aretha Franklin, longtime colleagues like Elton John, and much-missed close friends Cilla Black and Olivia Newton-John.
This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The 30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have each moved him deeply, but it's also about the legendary artists he met, and often got to know. He shares those stories and memories with you, too.
A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for sound with him and read on.
Raising Hell, Living Well
Part cultural criticism, part rueful confessional, a reformed brand strategist brings to light the impact of influence on us and our society and offers an escape in this ironically persuasive case for not being so easily influenced anymore.
We live in a world that is under the influence.
Our lives are being choreographed by forces that want something from us. Everything from ingrained family values to mind-altering algorithms create our foundations, warp how we see the world, manipulate our decisions, and dictate our beliefs. Yet rarely do we question these everyday influences of our modern times even as we go further down the path of unwell, unhappy, and unhinged.
A high-spirited exploration through the troublesome influences of our world, Raising Hell, Living Well, Jessica Elefante’s eye-opening debut, follows one bullshit artist’s journey, from small-time salesperson to award-winning corporate strategist to founder of the digital wellbeing movement Folk Rebellion, in coming to terms with how she was wielding influence—and the forces she was under herself.
With whip-smart writing and wry humor, Elefante’s collection of essays is a head-trip through her misadventures. From explaining productivity as a symptom of the influence of capitalism to how the wellness industry makes us feel more unwell or our unquestioning participation in oversharing, optimization, and instant gratification, she invites us to reexamine our world, our pasts, and ourselves through the lens of influence. Now a reformed brand strategist, Elefante lays bare her own culpability, sharing what she learned—and what she got wrong. She offers a new take on intentional living and provides a simple practice to deconstruct how the powers-that-be are attempting to modify our behaviors. Before you know it, you’ll be questioning everything from how you take your coffee to how our social institutions are structured. And you’ll learn how to live free from the influences around us—including Elefante herself.
The much-needed subversive voice to demystify these times, Elefante will make you angry, make you laugh, and make you think about how you’re really living. Unpretentious, sharply observed, and devil-hearted, Raising Hell, Living Well holds out a hand to help you climb out from under the influence.
Teorie mravních citů
Dílo je považováno za vrcholný stupeň britské morální filosofie. Smith v něm rozvinul teorii spontánní geneze mravního řádu jakož i filosofická východiska vědecké metody, kterou uplatnil v samotném Bohatství národů. Přes odstup dvou století je smitho
vo učení stálým zdrojem inspirace a zaslouží, aby bylo trvalou součástí vzdělání. Jestliže k známému tvrzení, že stěží lze být dobrým ekonomem bez studia Bohatství národů, přidáme jako druhou premisu poznatek, že stěží může někdo plně pochopit teorii
spontánního řádu rozvinutou v Bohatství národů, pokud nezná Teorii mravních citů, pak z nich po způsobu prostého sylogismu plyne závěr, že stěží může být někdo dobrým ekonomem, pokud nezná Teorii mravních citů.

Irresistible
Why are some things cute, and others not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? And how did cuteness go global, from Hello Kitty to Disney characters?
Cuteness is an area where culture and biology get tangled up. Seeing a cute animal triggers some of the most powerful psychological instincts we have - the ones that elicit our care and protection - but there is a deeper story behind the broad appeal of Japanese cats and saccharine greetings cards.
Joshua Paul Dale, a pioneer in the burgeoning field of cuteness studies, explains how the cute aesthetic spread around the globe, from pop brands to Lolita fashion, kids' cartoons and the unstoppable rise of Hello Kitty. Irresistible delves into the surprisingly ancient origins of Japan's kawaii culture, and uncovers the cross-cultural pollination of the globalised world. If adorable things really do rewire our brains, it can help answer some of the biggest questions we have about our evolutionary history and the mysterious origins of animal domestication.
This is the fascinating cultural history of cuteness, and a revealing look at how our most powerful psychological impulses have remade global style and culture.
