Říkali mu Korea (Podruhé)
V knize jsou nově zmíněny všechny vojenské útvary dislokované v posádce Žatec a sledování historických události začíná již od roku 1946. Přináší informace a řadu fotografií z období zkoušek proudových letounů Avia Me 262/S-92 na letišti Žatec, obšírn
é informace o 1. výcvikové letce tryskových letadel, zřízené v r. 1949 na letišti Žatec a vůbec okolnosti výstavby nového proudového stíhacího letectva v jeho kolébce v Mladé. Spolu s popisem postupu výstavby nových letišť s betonovými VPD (nechybí z
ákladní parametry) tak má čtenář možnost poznat situaci a širší souvislosti doby, ve které byl zřízen 11. letecký stíhací pluk proudový.
K významnému rozšíření rozsahu využil autor množství nových tzv. "revitalizovaných" dokumentům z Vojenského his
torického archivu Praha.
(Jednalo se o archivní fondy útvarů, které byly poškozeny při záplavách v srpnu 2002). A tak bylo možné podstatně rozšířit popis působení 15. stíhacího leteckého pluku (1952-1958) a také 17. stíhacího leteckého pluku v Žatci
(1952-1954) v Mladé (1954-1955) a konečně v Hradčanech (1955-1961), tedy období podřízenosti žateckých stíhacích divizí. Výsledkem jsou mj. podrobné sestavy pluků v rozhodných obdobích, přidělení letounů pilotům a technikům, pohyb personálu mezi pluk
y atd. V rekapitulačních přehledech najde svá jména drtivá většina pilotů a techniků od "jedenáctky" i "patnáctky". Popisy organizační výstavby útvarů doplňuje množství fotografií a obšírné přehledy funkcionářů. U leteckých pluků přehledy doplňují po
rtrétní fotografie velitelů pluku i letek (91), inženýrů pluku i letek (27), u 23. letištního praporu a 5. praporu RTZ fota velitelů útvarů (34). Je zde také uveden úplný přehled a fotografie velitelů letectva a PVOS (18) a nechybí portrétní fotograf
ie mnoha z těch, kteří nedoletěli (15). Unikátní celostránková kopie leteckého snímku z r. 1952 dokumentuje stav, proč dostalo letiště název KOREA.
V knize jsou podrobně popsány nejen všechny tamní letecké útvary tzv. létající (s rozšířením informa
cí o technicích), ale také útvary letištního týlového zabezpečení (13., 15. a 23. letištní prapor) a radiotechnického zabezpečení (od 5. roty LZP, až po 5. prapor RTZ) a od 1.5.1991 zde působící 11. letecká základna. Jsou zde zmíněny všechny žatecké
svazky letecké (5. SLD i "nová" 3. SLD), ale i integrované PVOS od léta 1961 (3. sbor PVOS, 3. divize PVOS až po 3. dPVO, která byla zrušena v r. 1994). Tomuto společenství vojsk protivzdušné obrany "modrých" (stíhací letectvo), "zelených" (Radiotech
nické vojsko) a "červených" (protiletadlové dělostřelectvo a raketové vojsko) je věnována celá kapitola. Podrobně je popsána poměrně neznámá epizoda v období 1955 - 1961, kdy byly na letišti dislokovány útvary protiletadlovců a radiotechniků ("hláska
řů") a nechybí ani ilustrační fotografie techniky, kterou používaly. Obsáhlý a podrobný historický popis doplňuje jednak množství unikátních fotografií, ale také řada osobních vzpomínek a příběhů pamětníků ze všech stavovských, funkčních i hodnostníc
h skupin - piloti, technici, velitelé...
Jako Post skriptum je obsáhle popsáno období po ukončení leteckého provozu a zrušení posledních útvarů v r. 1994 až po definitivní konec letiště, kterému říkali KOREA a vznik strategické zóny TRIANGLE.
Vyjím
áme DOSLOVU, který do "Říkali mu KOREA" napsal Václav Vašek:
"Byl jsem naprosto skálopevně odhodlán, možná pod dojmem dobového zájmu o "Etudy...." sepsat pojednání o historii existence žateckého letiště. Dnes vím, že jsem byl pouze málo pracovitý. Pr
oto hned na počátku své úvahy chci vyjádřit autorovi dík za to, že projevil víc morálněvolních vlastností než já a nenechal se odradit. Proto je asi nejpřijatelnější forma, kterou zvolil Stanislav Vystavěl. Volné zpracování dostupných údajů, proložen
é citáty z dokumentů, konkrétními postřehy pamětníků a životními epizodami. Čtenář má možnost seznámit se s nadčasovým, nezaujatým a čtivým náznakem útržků ze života lidí ovlivněných činností na tomto letišti. "Korea" nebyla umístěna poblíž velikého
města či nedaleko lákavé přírodní oblasti. Věřím, že dílo vyvolá svými, místy věcnými, místy emotivně podbarvenými informacemi v řadě lidí rozhodně více pěkných než nepěkných vzpomínek. Všem přeji příjemné zážitky při čtení... "
Říkali mu KOREA (Po
druhé) vychází u příležitosti celé řady "žateckých jubileí" - 60. výročí zaujetí letiště 23. letištním praporem (21.8.1951), založení 11. stíhacího leteckého pluku (1.10.1951), 55.
výročí úspěšných zásahů pilota 11. slp proti nepřátelským balonům - "
Leteckého protibalonového ESA" tehdy kpt. Jaroslava Nováka a konečně 50. výročí zřízení Velitelství 3. sboru PVOS v Žatci (1.9.1961).
Problematika poválečné historie čs. vojenského letectva zřejmě ještě dlouho zůstane "nepopsaným listem". Jako příkl
ad může posloužit kniha "Říkali mu KOREA (Podruhé)". Jedná se o knihu opět věnovanou letectvu v Žatci a její název se jen nepatrně liší od I. vydání z r. 2005 - "Říkali mu KOREA". Za oněch šest let od jejího vydání proteklo Ohří hodně vody a autor uk

From the Corner of the Oval Office
In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in Washington DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama's stenographers. The ultimate DC outsider, she joined the elite team who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forged friendships with a tight group of fellow travellers - young men and women who, like her, left their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president.
But as she learned the ropes of protocol, Beck became romantically entangled with a colleague, and suddenly, the political became all too personal.
Set against the backdrop of a White House full of glamour, drama and intrigue, this is the story of a young woman making unlikely friendships, getting her heart broken, learning what truly matters and discovering her voice in the process.

A korai kapcsolat zavarai (2., bővített kiadás)
Részlet a bevezetőből:
"A második bővített kiadás megjelenését részben a kereslet, másrészt szakmai szempontok indokolták. A csecsemő- és kora gyermekkori kapcsolati zavarok természetének kutatásai és diagnosztikai eredményei az elmúlt években nagy léptékben ugrottak meg. A korai szabályozás zavarainak kutatásai és terápiás tapasztalatai a zavarok felismerését és kezelésének szempontjait leíró rendszereknek a fejlődéséhez, modernizációjához vezettek.
[...]
Jelen könyvem bővített, második kiadásában ezért egy teljes, új fejezetet szentelek a csecsemő- és kisgyermekkori lelki egészség és fejlődés zavarait leíró diagnosztikai rendszerek bemutatásának és szakmai fejlődésük történetének (10. fejezet. A csecsemő- és kisgyermekkori regulációs problémák: az alvás, a táplálkozás és a sírás zavarai a diagnosztikai klasszifikációs rendszerekben). A regulációs zavarok kapcsolati szemléletének bemutatását, valamint az általunk kidolgozott Komplex Kapcsolatdiagnosztikai Protokoll leírását külön fejezetben helyeztem el. Az utóbbi négy évben végzett kapcsolatdiagnosztikai gyakorlatunk, valamint a szakemberképzéseinkben szerzett oktatási tapasztalataink szintén hozzájárultak ahhoz, hogy a kapcsolatdiagnosztikai protokollunkat frissítsük. Emellett a 11. fejezetet (A csecsemő- és kisgyermekkori regulációs problémák kapcsolati diagnosztikája és a baba-mama terápiák) kiegészítettem egy további, baba-mama terápiás esetleírással. A könyv többi, elsősorban a korábbi felnőtt, illetve gyermek-terápiás gyakorlatomat és gondolkodásomat bemutató fejezetét változatlanul hagytam."

How To Do The Work
'If LePera's Instagram feed is full of aha moments illuminating the inner workings of your psyche, the revelations in the book are more like a full firework display.' Red magazine
'This book is a must-read for anyone on a path of personal growth.' GABBY BERNSTEIN, author of number one New York Times bestsellers Super Attractor and The Universe Has Your Back
'The book I wish I had read in my twenties.' ELIZABETH DAY, author of How to Fail
'How to Do the Work will transform how you see yourself and your ability to change. I believe this book could change lives, if not the world.' HOLLY BOURNE, bestselling author of How Do You Like Me Now?
'Want more from life? Looking for answers? How to Do the Work will teach you how to find them within yourself. A masterpiece of empowerment - this book changed my life and, trust me, it'll change yours too.' MEL ROBBINS, author of The 5 Second Rule
As a clinical psychologist, Dr Nicole LePera found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients - and for herself - she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she'd learned with others - and The Holistic Psychologist was born.
Now Dr LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. In How to Do the Work, she offers both a manifesto for self-healing and an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing on the latest research from both scientific research and healing modalities, Dr LePera helps us recognise how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, keeping us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviours can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell.
In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviours to reclaim and recreate their lives. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, this is a celebration of empowerment that will forever change the way we approach mental wellness and self-care.
The Hitler Conspiracies
The renowned historian of the Third Reich takes on the conspiracy theories surrounding Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, in a vital history book for the 'post-truth' ageThe idea that nothing happens by chance in history, that nothing is quite what it seems to be at first sight, that everything is the result of the secret machinations of malign groups of people manipulating everything from behind the scenes - these notions are as old as history itself. But conspiracy theories are becoming more popular and more widespread in the twenty-first century. Nowhere have they become more obvious than in revisionist accounts of the history of the Third Reich.
Long-discredited conspiracy theories have taken on a new lease of life, given credence by claims of freshly discovered evidence and novel angles of investigation. In The Hitler Conspiracies renowned historian Richard Evans takes five widely discussed claims involving Hitler and the Nazis and subjects them to forensic scrutiny: that the Jews were conspiring to undermine civilization, as outlined in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; that the German army was 'stabbed in the back' by socialists and Jews in 1918; that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag in order to seize power; that Rudolf Hess' flight to the UK in 1941 was sanctioned by Hitler and conveyed peace terms suppressed by Churchill; and that Hitler escaped the bunker in 1945 and fled to South America. In doing so, it teases out some surprising features that these, and other conspiracy theories, have in common.
This is a history book, but it is a history book for the age of 'post-truth' and 'alternative facts': a book for our own troubled times.

Carving Up the Globe
Where do you draw the line? In the context of geopolitics, much hinges on the answer to that question. For thousands of years, it has been the work of diplomats to draw the lines in ways that were most advantageous to their leaders, fellow citizens, and sometimes themselves. Carving Up the Globe offers vivid documentation of their handiwork. With hundreds of full-color maps and other images, this atlas illustrates treaties that have determined the political fates of millions. In rich detail, it chronicles everything from ancient Egyptian and Hittite accords to the first Sino-Tibetan peace in 783 CE, the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, and the 2014 Minsk Protocol looming over the war in Ukraine.
But there is more here than shifting territorial frontiers. Throughout history, diplomats have also drawn boundaries around valuable resources and used treaties to empower, liberate, and constrain. Carving Up the Globe encompasses these agreements, too, across land, sea, and air. Missile and nuclear pacts, environmental treaties, chemical weapons conventions, and economic deals are all carefully rendered.
Led by Malise Ruthven, a team of experts provides lively historical commentary, which-together with finely crafted visuals-conjures the ceaseless ambition of princes and politicians. Whether they sought the glory and riches of empire or pursued hegemony, security, stability, and GDP within the modern international system, their efforts culminated in lines on a map-and the enormous real-life consequences those lines represent and enforce.

Ask a Policeman
This classic crime novel by six different authors is introduced by Martin Edwards, archivist of the Detection Club, and includes a never-before-published Preface by Agatha Christie, 'Detective Writers in England', in which she discusses her approach to writing and her fellow writers in the Detection Club. Lord Comstock is a barbarous newspaper tycoon with enemies in high places. His murder in the study of his country house poses a dilemma for the Home Secretary. In the hours before his death, Lord Comstock's visitors included the government Chief Whip, an Archbishop, and the Assistant Commissioner for Scotland Yard. Suspicion falls upon them all and threatens the impartiality of any police investigation. Abandoning protocol, the Home Secretary invites four famous detectives to solve the case: Mrs Adela Bradley, Sir John Saumarez, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Mr Roger Sheringham. All are different, all are plausible, all are on their own - and none of them can ask a policeman...The contributors to ASK A POLICEMAN are: John Rhode, Helen Simpson, Gladys Mitchell, Anthony Berkeley, Dorothy L. Sayers, Milward Kennedy, with Agatha Christie and Martin Edwards.
