Beyond Good and Evil
Beyond Good and Evil (German: Jenseits von Gut und Böse), subtitled "Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future" (Vorspiel einer Philosophie der Zukunft), is a book by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1886.It takes up and expands on the ideas of his previous work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but approached from a more critical, polemical direction.In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche attacks past philosophers for their alleged lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of Christian premises in their consideration of morality. The work moves into the realm "beyond good and evil" in the sense of leaving behind the traditional morality which Nietzsche subjects to a destructive critique in favour of what he regards as an affirmative approach that fearlessly confronts the perspectival nature of knowledge and the perilous condition of the modern individual.

Before Adam
A young man in modern America is terrorized by visions of an earlier, primitive life. Across the enormous chasm of thousands of centuries, his consciousness has become entwined with that of Big-Tooth, an ancestor living at the dawn of humanity. Big-Tooth makes his home in Pleistocene Africa, a ferocious, fascinating younger world torn by incessant conflict between early humans and protohumans. Before Adam is a remarkable and provocative tale that thrust evolution further into the public spotlight in the early twentieth century and has since become a milestone of speculative fiction. The brilliance of the book lies not only in its telling but also in its imaginative projection of a mindset for early humans. Capitalizing on his recognized ability to understand animals, Jack London paints an arresting and dark portrait of how our distant ancestors thought about themselves and their world.

Buttered Side Down
From the Foreword:"And so," the story writers used to say, "they lived happily ever after."Um-m-m—maybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar? After Puss in Boots had won wealth and a wife for his young master did not that gentleman often fume with chagrin because the neighbors, perhaps, refused to call on the lady of the former poor miller's son?It is a great risk to take with one's book-children. These stories make no such promises. They stop just short of the phrase of the old story writers, and end truthfully, thus: And so they lived.

The Law
The Law, original French title La Loi, is a 1849 book by Frédéric Bastiat. It was published one year after the third French Revolution of 1848 and one year before his death of tuberculosis at age 49. The essay was influenced by John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and in turn influenced Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. It is the work for which Bastiat is most famous along with The candlemaker's petition and the Parable of the broken window.In The Law, Bastiat states that "each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property". The State is a "substitution of a common force for individual forces" to defend this right. The law becomes perverted when it punishes one's right to self-defense in favor of another's acquired right to plunder.

Brutalism
Brutalist architecture is ever-present in the British urban landscape, from car parks and bus garages to schools, universities and cultural centres, from the small college campus to vast residential mega-structures. Taken from the French phrase 'beton brut', meaning raw concrete, the name brutalism identified an emerging style of angular and sculptural form and rough, exposed industrial materials. The pioneering architects of the style such as Peter and Alison Smithson, Erno Goldfinger and the Owen Luder Partnership optimistically believed they were forging a new utopia.Their confidence is apparent in the uncompromising, bold, even bolshy buildings such as London's South Bank Centre, Hunstanton School, Preston bus station and Portsmouth's Tricorn Centre that came to define the architecture of the 1960s and 1970s. After decades of vilification, brutalism is today enjoying a resurgence of popularity and the original principles of the movement are being rediscovered and reappraised, although it still divides public opinion. This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with brutalism in all its variety.
Lacná kniha Tři za králem šli
Nejnovější román bývalého londýnského řidiče autobusů, který se prosadil svou navýsost originální prvotinou Ohrady pro zvířata. Mills opět předvedl, že ač klasicky nevzdělán, má rozhodně předpoklady řadit se po bok samotného Samuela Becketta. Příběh-nepříběh hrdiny-nehrdiny – obyvatele domu na jakési pustině, zeměpisně neurčené, je ještě obecnějším a tajemnějším podobenstvím o naší moderní době než autorova prvotina. Pustina, domek, běžné zařízení a odpolední čaje, žena, co se odněkud vezme a nastěhuje se, přicházející návštěvy, lidé, kteří houfně odcházejí na jakousi zvláštní stavbu.

Accessing Your Spiritual Inheritance
It’s Your Turn to Go Through the Door
Alice didn’t fall down a rabbit hole, she walked through a mystical doorway in a vision to recover blessings her ancestors had not claimed.
When Alice came back and shared her experience, Seneca wasted no time going through her own door.
Del’s approach differed — she wound up floating along in her bloodstream!
Using the map we give in our stories, others went through their own doors leading to better relationships with God and increases in finances, favor, and giftings.
Although this book touches on generational curses and how to remove them, we focus on claiming the blessings your family line has lost.
If you’re open to having a vision or seeing in the spirit, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of learning to see, so you, too, can restore your lost generational blessings.
Your hidden inheritance awaits!

Crime and Custom in Savage Society
Malinowski: "In the writing up of his results the modern anthropologist is naturally tempted to add his wider, somewhat diffused and intangible experiences to his descriptions of definite fact; to present the details of custom, belief, and organization against the background of a general theory of primitive culture. This little book is the outcome of a field worker’s yielding to such temptation. In extenuation of this lapse —if lapse it be— I should like to urge the great need for more theory in anthropological jurisprudence, especially theory born from actual contact with savages. I should also point out that in this work reflections and generalizations stand out clearly from the descriptive paragraphs. Last, not least, I should like to claim that my theory is not made of conjecture or hypothetical reconstruction but is simply an attempt at formulating the problem, at introducing precise concepts and clear definitions into the subject."

Toho pradědečka, který ještě zcela mlád opustil manželku a děti a nevrátil se z nákupu. Jak je možné, že ještě žije? A proč tady na něj čeká?Odchází spolu do přímořské hospůdky, která vypadá jako skanzen pro turisty, ale turisté nikde...Proč mu Mína nevěří, že se nikde netoulal a byl s pradědečkem? Že o něm nikdy před tím nemluvil, no a co? Nejlepším důkaz je vzít ji s sebou zpátky do té tmavé uličky a vše jí ukázat.Tím se ale spouští celý řetězec událostí, kdy Kit netuší, že vzít s sebou někoho na cestu do jiné dimenze a do jiného světa mohou jen ti vyškolení.
