The Cross-Border Connection - Immigrants, Emigrants, and Their Homelands
International migration presents the human face of globalization, with consequences that make headlines throughout the world. The Cross-Border Connection addresses a paradox at the core of this phenomenon: emigrants departing one society become immigrants in another, tying those two societies together in a variety of ways. In nontechnical language, Roger Waldinger explains how interconnections between place of origin and destination are built and maintained and why they eventually fall apart."When are immigrants 'us'? When are they 'them'? Waldinger implores readers to reframe the debate from a before-after dichotomy to a new transnational approach, revealing migrants to be here, there, and in-between at all stages of their migration tenure...The book's real strength is in the elegance of the author's argument, supported by evidence that transnationalism itself is not static but an ongoing dialectic."--R. A. Harper, Choice"The Cross-Border Connection is to be commended for putting substance into the black box of transnationalism, offering scholars a dynamic model to account for the ebb and flow of transnationalism in the real world and yielding testable propositions about the circumstances under which cross-border connections can be expected to expand or contract."--Douglas S. Massey, American Journal of Sociology

The Dark Between Stars
From the internationally bestselling author of LOVE HER WILD comes THE DARK BETWEEN STARS, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus.
Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences = the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain = the darkness and the stars = to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.

Ľudskosť
V čom sa mýlia apokalyptické filmy, keď zobrazujú prírodné pohromy alebo vojnu?
Ako sa v skutočnosti správajú ľudia pri bombardovaní?
Čo naozaj zažili deti, ktoré stroskotali na pustom ostrove, a prečo to bolo také odlišné od knižného príbehu Pán múch?
Ako došlo k zásadným pozitívnym prerodom spoločností, napríklad k ukončeniu apartheidu?
Ak existuje presvedčenie, ktoré spája ľavičiarov a pravičiarov, psychológov a filozofov či starovekých a moderných mysliteľov, tak je to tichý predpoklad, že ľudia sú zlí. Je to presvedčenie, ktoré inšpiruje novinové titulky a usmerňuje zákony, ktoré utvárajú naše životy. Toto presvedčenie je hlboko zakorenené v západnom myslení od Machiavelliho po Hobbesa, od Freuda po Pinkera. Ľudia sú vraj vo svojej prirodzenosti sebeckí a poháňa ich v prvom rade vlastný záujem.
Medzinárodný bestseller Rutgera Bregmana Ľudskosť: Optimistická história človeka ponúka nový pohľad na uplynulých 200 000 rokov ľudských dejín a snaží sa dokázať, že sme od prírody prívetiví, že sme zameraní viac na spoluprácu ako na konkurenciu a že sme náchylní si navzájom skôr dôverovať než neveriť.
Keď si o ľuďoch myslíme to najhoršie, to najhoršie sa v našej politike a ekonomike napokon aj prejaví. Ak však uveríme, že v ľuďoch sú prívetivosť a altruizmus hlboko zakorenené, položíme tým základy pre ozajstné zmeny v spoločnosti.
Napísali o knihe:
"Kniha Ľudskosť ma donútila vnímať ľudstvo z novej perspektívy a prehodnotiť niektoré moje názory." Yuval Noah Harari, autor Sapiens a Homo Deus
Kniha Ľudskosť poskytuje filozofickú a dejinnú oporu našej viere v spoluprácu, láskavosť a vzájomnú dôveru, aby sme mohli budovať lepšiu spoločnosť. Mariana Mazzucato, autorka knihy The Value of Everything
Výnimočne silné vyjadrenie viery vo vrodené dobro a prirodzenú mravnosť ľudských bytostí. Rutger Bregman nikdy nie sentimentálny, clivý či naivný; podáva pevné a presvedčivé argumenty, aby sme uverili napriek údajným dôkazom o opaku že nie sme divý, nenapraviteľne nenásytný, násilný a dravý druh, hoci sme k takým názorom vedení. Stephen Fry
Toto je nádherná a povznášajúca kniha. Nielenže chcem, aby ju čítali všetci moji priatelia a známi, ale rovnako všetci ostatní ľudia. Je to dôležitá súčasť kampane za lepší svet. Richard Wilkinson, autor knihy The Spirit Level
Táto úžasná kniha zmení spôsob, akým vidíte svet a svojich ľudských druhov. Otvára myseľ a čo je dôležitejšie, otvára srdce. Nikdy sme takéto posolstvo nepotrebovali viac, ako teraz. Johann Hari, autor knihy Lost Connections
Táto kniha rúca cynický názor, že ľudia sú vnútorne skazení a sebeckí, a vykresľuje obraz ľudskej prirodzenosti, ktorý nielen povznáša, ale je oveľa pravdivejší. Rutger Bregman je jedným z najprovokatívnejších mysliteľov našej doby. Adam Grant, autor knihy Give and Take
Nepoznám presvedčivejšiu či dôslednejšie zdokumentovanú odpoveď na Machiavelliho pozorovanie, že ľudia nikdy nerobia nič dobré, iba ak z nutnosti než je kniha Rutgera Bregmana. Jeho nový pohľad na ľudskú prirodzenosť zodpovedá súčasným vedeckým dôkazom a zároveň povznáša. Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, autorka Mothers and Others

Nejkrásnější fotografie Prahy
Praha je pro fotografa jako cukrárna nebo továrna na čokoládu pro dítě. Nabízí nepřeberné množství míst, budov, prostranství, zákoutí v těch nejroztodivnějších pohledech. Viděli jsme tisíce fotek Karlova mostu,
statisíce fotek Prahy, ale stále objevujeme nové pohledy, nové kompozice, nové souvislosti.
........................................................
For photographers, Prague is like a sweet shop or a chocolate factory for children. It offers up a countless number of places, buildings, spaces and corners, which can be photographed from a wide range of perspectives. We have seen thousands of photos of Charles Bridge, hundreds of photos of Prague and we are continuing to discover new views, new compositions and new viewing connections.
Freedom Is A Constant Struggle
From the Author of WOMEN, RACE AND CLASS, this is a timely provocation that examines the concept of attaining freedom in light of our current world conflicts
In these newly collected essays, interviews and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.
Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyses today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.
Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that 'Freedom is a constant struggle.'
Lacná kniha Exit Ghost (-50%)
Like Rip Van Winkle returning to his hometown to find that all has changed, Nathan Zuckerman comes back to New York, the city he left eleven years before. Alone on his New England mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats, no women, no news, no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age. Walking the streets like a revenant, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. One is with a young couple with whom, in a rash moment, he offers to swap homes. They will flee post-911 Manhattan for his country refuge, and he will return to city life. But from the time he meets them, Zuckerman also wants to swap his solitude for the erotic challenge of the young woman, Jaime, whose allure draws him back to all that he thought he had left behind: intimacy, the vibrant play of heart and body. The second connection is with a figure from Zuckerman's youth, Amy Bellette, companion and muse to Zuckerman's first literary hero, E.I. Lonoff. The once irresistible Amy is now an old woman depleted by illness, guarding the memory of that grandly austere American writer who showed Nathan the solitary path to a writing vocation. The third connection is with Lonoff's would-be biographer, a young literary hound who will do and say nearly anything to get to Lonoff's great secret". Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities. Haunted by Roth's earlier works - the melancholy comedy of "The Ghost Writer", the counterpoint of the imaginary and the real in "The Counterlife", the distinctive dialogues of "Deception" - "Exit Ghost" is a reminder of Roth's incomparable style and themes and an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer's insatiable commitment to fiction."

Note To Self
In his New York Times bestselling memoir, A Work in Progress, Connor Franta shared his journey from small-town Midwestern boy to full-fledged Internet sensation. Exploring his past with humor and astounding insight, Connor reminded his fans of why they first fell in love with him on YouTube-and revealed to newcomers how he relates to his millions of dedicated followers. Now, two years later, Connor is ready to bring to light a side of himself he's rarely shown on or off camera. In this diary-like look at his life since A Work In Progress, Connor talks about his battles with clinical depression, social anxiety, self-love, and acceptance; his desire to maintain an authentic self in a world that values shares and likes over true connections; his struggles with love and loss; and his renewed efforts to be in the moment-with others and himself. Told through short essays, letters to his past and future selves, poetry, and original photography, Note to Self is a raw, in-the-moment look at the fascinating interior life of a young creator turning inward in order to move forward.
