Kdo vládne světu?
Nejnovější kniha intelektuála, filozofa a aktivisty Noama Chomského přináší důkladnou kritickou analýzu současné mezinárodní situace. Autor zkoumá způsob, jakým Spojené státy – navzdory vzestupu Evropy a Asie – stále určují podmínky globálního diskurzu. Světová politická a finanční elita dnes vládne bez omezení demokratickými mechanismy. Vzhledem k tomu, že klimatická změna a šíření jaderných zbraní stále více ohrožují naše přežití, jsou kritické a nesmlouvavé hlasy, jako je hlas Noama Chomského, stále potřebnější. Tvrdě a jasně vyargumentovaná kniha je nepostradatelným průvodcem pro pochopení klíčových střetů a nebezpečí naší doby. „Chomsky is a global phenomenon… He may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet.“ The New York Times Book Review „For anyone wanting to find out more about the world we live in… there is one simple answer: read Noam Chomsky.“ New Statesman

The Secret Heart
The astonishing new portrait of the master of spy fiction, by the woman he kept secret for almost half his life
John le Carre led a life entirely constructed of secrets. First as a British 'spook' during the Cold War, then as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with fierce determination, so that even when he finally permitted his life story to be written, there was still one element he insisted be excluded: the women.
Married with children for virtually all his adult life, le Carre - David Cornwell - had a number of secret affairs, usually conducted abroad with women encountered by chance on his travels. These relationships were always intense, dramatic, even tragic, yet each was destined to last no more than a few months. But there was one love affair that withstood the test of time; just one woman in all his life whom he took into the innermost sanctum of his writing and his heart.
The Secret Heart is the account of Suleika Dawson's unique and enduring love affair with John le Carre. Written with fearless honesty and insight, the book sheds a bold new light on one of the foremost British writers of the 20th century and offers an alternative measure of the man over the literary legend.
Star
44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, BB Easton's bestselling memoir, is the inspiration for Netflix's new series: Sex/Life. BB had so much fun writing her award-winning memoir that she decided to give each of her four men his own steamy standalone. This is book three, Hal's story - a whirlwind rock star romance based on true events . . .
In 1999, BB Easton met her Prince Charming. He was the tall, tattooed, wickedly handsome bass player for the up-and-coming rock band Phantom Limb. But, more importantly, he was hers. She knew it the moment he flashed her that shy, dimpled smile.
And he knew it too.
Hansel "Hans" Oppenheimer wore his heart on his sleeve and poured his soul into every lyric he wrote about BB. Unlike the guys she'd dated in the past, Hans showered her with tenderness, took her places she'd never been before, and showed her the type of all-consuming love she'd thought only existed in fairy tales.
But, like any good fairy tale, her road to happily ever after was paved with challenges, and right when she least expected it . . . it forked.

Nudging towards Health
Behavioral economics sees “nudges” as ways to encourage people to re-evaluate their priorities in such a way that they voluntarily change their behavior, leading to personal and social benefits. This book examines nudging as a tool for influencing human behavior in health policy. The authors investigate the contemporary scientific discourse on nudging and enrich it with an ontological, epistemological and praxeological analysis of human behavior. On the basis of detailed analyses of the literature and a systemic review, nudging tools are defined in the paradigm of prospect theory. In addition to the theoretical contribution, the book also examines and offers suggestions on the practice of health policy regarding obesity, malnutrition, and especially type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Alice s Adventures in Wonderland (EN)
"Off with her head!" yells the Queen of Hearts, one of the many peculiar creatures Alice encounters after falling down a rabbit hole and into an absurd fantasy world of Mad Tea Parties, nonsensical trials, and talking animals. Published In 1865, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland became an instant success, and author Lewis Carroll broke ground with his unique take on children‘s stories: Instead of the overly simplistic and sometimes dry tales that characterized the genre in the Victorian age, Carroll introduced a book that didn‘t look down on its audience, and one that – to this day – is enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Politika nejmenších evropských států
Kniha se věnuje tématu, které je v oblasti politologického výzkumu do značné míry marginální. Nicméně domníváme se, že studium politiky nejmenších evropských států s demokratickými formami vládnutí má potenciál přinést výsledky, jež dají vyniknout některým skutečnostem či vztahům, které zůstávají při komparativní analýze politických systémů standardních států nevýrazné či bez povšimnutí. Při studiu politiky malých států je pozornost nutně věnována prvkům a rysům charakteristickým pro suverénní státy (vnitřní i zahraniční politika) a zároveň atributům typickým spíše pro politiku na komunální či regionální úrovni. Právě popsané propojení několika rovin v prostředí nejmenších evropských demokratických států činí jejich komparativní analýzu nosnou a zajímavou.
Publikace je primárně určena akademické veřejnosti se zájmem o komparativní politologii, politickou geografii či postavení určitým způsobem netypických aktérů v mezinárodním systému. Vzhledem k bohaté faktografické stránce jednotlivých případových studií je knihu možné doporučit i čtenářům, kteří se zajímají o historii, kulturu a politiku nejmenších evropských států, tj. zemí, které jsou zajímavé i proto, že se do jejich historického a politického formování promítal vývoj celého evropského kontinentu existence velmi malých států je ostatně umožněna pouze shodou příhodných historických okolností a politické instituce a procesy v některých z nich představují unikátní relikty. To činí nejmenší evropské státy pozoruhodnými nejen z perspektivy politické vědy.
