Ústava Země A constitution for the earth Verfassung für die Erde Ústava Zeme
Niečo sa pokazilo. Optimizmus zo začiatku tisícročia dnes vystriedali obavy a neistota. Najprv euro?americká finančná, potom globálna ekonomická a s ňou spojená sociálna kríza, i zdanlivo nesúvisiaca klimatická zmena. Rastie hrozba vojenských konfliktov, terorizmu, sťahovania či migrácie ľudí a národov. Skryte narastá zásadný existenciálny konflikt ľudskej kultúry so Zemou. Chýba nám skúsenosť, hodnoty i program pre život v materiálne a duchovne rozmanitom svete.
Pribúdajú však aj výzvy ekologicky cítiacich ľudí, vedcov a inštitúcií na zmenu súčasnej civilizácie a vytvorenie nového vzťahu ľudí k prírode. Väčšinou ešte nejde o ucelené návody na riešenie, ale len o obavy a úzko orientované úvahy, morálne apelovanie a súpisy zbožných prianí. Dokonca aj pápež, riskujúc exkomunikáciu konzervatívnym krídlom cirkvi, vyzval v encyklike Laudato Sí všetkých ľudí k starostlivosti o spoločný planetárny domov. A to nielen na základe viery, ale aj v súlade s poznatkami dnešnej vedy.
Originálna koncepcia českého filozofa Josefa Šmajsa ponúka univerzálne prijateľné riešenia vychádzajúce z ontologickej podstaty našich súčasných problémov. Zdôvodňuje odmietnutie antropocentrizmu a žiada uznanie nadradenosti a práv Zeme nad právami, slobodami a výsadami ľudí. Ľudská kultúra nie je pokračovaním evolúcie prírody, ale opozičným umelým systémom, ktorý dnes Zem budúcim generáciam pustoší.
Ústava Zeme môže byť tou správnou odpoveďou – posúďte sami a staňte sa spolutvorcami novej duchovnej paradigmy.

Being a Human
'Delivers mind-expanding revelation and glorious originality and colour ... This is my book of the year' Patrick Barkham, author of The Butterfly Isles
What kind of creature is a human? If we don't know what we are, how can we know how to act? In Being a Human Charles Foster sets out to understand what a human is, inhabiting the sensory worlds of humans at three pivotal moments in our history.
Foster begins his quest in a wood in Derbyshire with his son, shivering, starving and hunting, trying to find a way of experiencing the world that recognises the deep expanse of time when we understood ourselves as hunter-gatherers, indivisible from the non-human world, and when modern consciousness was first ignited. From there he travels to the Neolithic, when we tamed animals, plants and ourselves, to a way of being defined by walls, fences, farms, sky gods and slaughterhouses, and finally to the rarefied world of the Enlightenment, when we decided that the universe was a machine and we were soulless cogs within it.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.
Looking for Alaska
The unmissable first novel from bestselling and award-winning author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. "If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." Miles Halter's whole life has been one big non-event, until he meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever and undoubtedly screwed-up, Alaska draws Miles into her reckless world and irrevocably steals his heart. For Miles, nothing can ever be the same again. 'Looking for Alaska' brilliantly captures the exquisite painful joy of living and loving. Poignant, funny, heartbreaking and compelling, this novel will stay with you forever.
Lou Reed: Waiting for the Man - Život a hudba
Doplněné a kompletně revidované vydání jedinečné Lou Reedovy biografie nabízí ucelený a zároveň detailní pohled na jeho hudbu a život.
Sám Reed knihu označil za nejlepší biografii, která o něm kdy vznikla.
Waiting For The Man vykresluje jednu z vůdčích osobností alternativní hudby, rockovou ikonu, která skrze své kontroverzní texty a typický garážový zvuk ovlivnila celé další směřování rockové hudební scény. Už v éře hippies vystupoval s nekompromisní až mystickou uzavřeností a odtažitostí. Jeho nezaměnitelný styl se pokoušely napodobit generace následovníků. Značně ovlivnil také český underground, několikrát navštívil ČR a přátelil se s Václavem Havlem.
Kniha sleduje celý Reedův život od úplných začátků ve skupině Velvet Underground přes více než 40letou sólovou dráhu, během které vystřídal nespočet různých poloh a zapsal se do historie jako jeden z nejoriginálnějších a těžko zařaditelných umělců.
Bat For Lashes - The Dream of Delphi CD
„The Dream Of Delphi“ je óda na materstvo vytvorená v LA, Natašinom druhom domove, počas pandémie Covid-19. Je to Sonic Archive of Time, kedy Natasha porodila svoju dcéru Delphi Earth Side. Nahrávka spája desať piesňových básní, dokumentujúcich polaritu navigácie vo vonkajšom svete, ktorý sa zdanlivo obracal hore nohami, a zároveň zažíva hlboko osobné a transformačné rané okamihy materstva Delphi, pomenované po gréckom orákulu, starodávnom rozprávači budúcnosti. Hudba sa stala Natashou svätyňou, zrodila sa z ukradnutých výletov do štúdia, kde každá skladba bola improvizovaná a dokončená za pár hodín a chronologizuje jej denník ako ponuky za obdobie dvoch rokov. Táto nahrávka vytvára okolo hudby súkromnejšiu formu mytológie ako jej predchádzajúce dielo. „The Dream Of Delphi“ sa dotýka viac inštrumentálneho sveta „Bat For Lashes“a ukazuje, že Natasha je sebavedomá skladateľka aj remeselníčka intímnych krajín. Zatiaľ čo hudba vytvára priestor pre poslucháča viac podobný lonu, stále ponecháva široký priestor pre jej charakteristický sen, ktorý môže vibrovať. Natasha na tejto nahrávke spolupracovala s Bradom Oberhoferom, Mary Lattimore a Jackom Falbym.

Lacná kniha For Kick

Being You: A New Science of Consciousness
Anil Seth's radical new theory of consciousness challenges our understanding of perception and reality, doing for brain science what Dawkins did for evolutionary biology.
Being You is not as simple as it sounds. Somehow, within each of our brains, billions of neurons work to create our conscious experience. How does this happen? Why do we experience life in the first person? After over twenty years researching the brain, world-renowned neuroscientist Anil Seth puts forward a radical new theory of consciousness and self. His unique theory of what it means to 'be you' challenges our understanding of perception and reality and it turns what you thought you knew about yourself on its head.
