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.
Somewhere in the Deep
From the author of Monsters Born and Made comes an action-packed South Asian inspired fantasy that will have your heart racing at every turn. Seventeen-year-old Krescent Dune is buried under the weight of her dead parents' debt and the ruinous legacy they left behind. The only way she can earn enough money to escape her unforgiving island is by battling monstrous creatures in an underground fighting pit.
After a fight goes terribly wrong, she's banned from the pits. Now hopeless, she is offered a deal: in exchange for the erasure of her debts, she must join and protect a hunting party for a rescue mission deep within the mining caves beneath the island. Krescent is determined to keep her head down and fulfill her role as the dutiful bodyguard, even though she is trapped underground with her childhood enemy and a company of people who would gladly kill her if they knew who her parents were.
As they come across creatures she believed only existed in legends, it becomes clear they are in far more danger than she could have imagined. But someone doesn't want her to make it out alive. And she'll have to figure out who before she's left alone...in the dark.

Metakunsthistorie
„Kultura“, „styl“, „forma“, „obraz“, „médium“, „kontext“ nebo „materiál“ jsou pojmy, s kterými běžně operujeme, když přemýšlíme o minulých i současných uměleckých dílech. Tato kniha je určená všem těm, jež zajímá myšlenkové podloží těchto pojmů a to, jakou roli hrály a hrají v akademických i neakademických reflexích umění a jeho dějin. Jakub Stejskal pracuje jako vedoucí výzkumného týmu na semináři dějin umění Masarykovy univerzity. Před tím působil na univerzitách v Basileji a Berlíně. V roce 2014 získal doktorát z estetiky na Univerzitě Karlově. Je autorem řady studií a jedné knihy na pomezí filozofické estetiky, dějin umění, archeologie a antropologie. Metakunsthistorie je jeho první knihou v českém jazyce.
“Culture,” “style,” “form,” “image,” “medium,” “context” or “material” are terms we standardly use when discussing past and contemporary art works. This book is intended for those interested in the ideational grounding of these terms and the role they have been playing in both academic and non-academic reflections on art and art history. Jakub Stejskal works as head of a research team of the Department of Art History at Masaryk University. He previously worked at universities in Basil and Berlin. In 2014, he received a doctorate from aesthetics at Charles University. He is the author of a number of studies and one book which addresses the philosophy of aesthetics, art history, archeology and anthropology. Metakunsthistorie is his first book published in Czech.
