Zahrada vůní pro potěchu myslí
400 let staré pojednání o Arabech a o milování. Knihu lze zařadit mezi erotickou literaturu, i když má nepochybně osobitý charakter, který ji do jisté míry odlišuje od tohoto druhu literárních děl v evropském pojetí.
Walking in the Woods : Go back to nature with the Japanese way of shinrin-yoku
'It is clear that our bodies still recognize nature as our home...' - Yoshifumi Miyazaki
'Forest bathing' or shinrin-yoku is a way of walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting edge environmental health science. Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings, stress hormone levels, parasympathetic nervous activity, sympathetic nervous activity, blood pressure, heart rate and brain activity. In this wonderful book, by the leading expert in the field, science meets nature, as we are encouraged to bathe in the trees and become observers of both the environment around us and the goings on of our own minds.

Tibetský buddhizmus: Filozofia a prax
Na rozdiel od bádania a rozvoja vedy a techniky vo vonkajšom svete, sa mnohé východné tradície zamerali na vnútro človeka, aby hľadali zmysel jeho pozemskej existencie. Kniha Tibetský buddhizmus odhaľuje čitateľovi celkom odlišnú kultúru, než v akej žije dnešný moderný človek.
Jeho Svätosť dalajláma vo svojej prednáške, ktorú predniesol počas troch dní v Londýne, podáva čitateľom stručný a hlboký výklad tibetského buddhizmu, a zároveň odhaľuje cestu, ako aplikovať teóriu v praxi. Nových záujemcov oboznamuje aj s bohatou tradíciou a rozmanitosťou smerov tohto učenia. Tí pokročilejší si prehĺbia svoje vedomosti o vyšších stupňoch poznania spojených s rôznymi rituálmi zasvätenia a splnomocnenia.
Po prečítaní tejto knihy, ktorá vás očarí pútavým výkladom a priateľským prístupom Jeho Svätosti, sa možno aj vy začnete inak pozerať na náš svet a naše hodnoty.

In the Closet of the Vatican
The New York Times Bestseller--Revised and Expanded
"[An] earth-shaking expose of clerical corruption"--National Catholic Reporter
The arrival of Frederic Martel's In the Closet of the Vatican, published worldwide in eight languages, sent shockwaves through the religious and secular world. The book's revelations of clericalism, hypocrisy, cover-ups and widespread homosexuality in the highest echelons of the Vatican provoked questions that the most senior Vatican officials--and the Pope himself--were forced to act upon; it would go on to become a New York Times bestseller. Now, almost a year after the book's first publication, Frederic Martel reflects in a new foreword on the effect the book has had and the events that have come to light since it was first released.
In the Closet of the Vatican describes the double lives of priests--including the cardinals living with their young "assistants" in luxurious apartments whilst professing humility and chastity--the cover-up of numerous cases of sexual abuse; sinister scheming in the Vatican; political conspiracy overseas in Argentina and Chile, and the resignation of Benedict XVI. From his unique position as a respected journalist with uninhibited access to some of the Vatican's most influential people and private spaces, Martel presents a shattering account of a system rotten to its very core.

Lacná kniha Vademecum of International Law (-90%)
Vademecum of International law, as the label of this textbook indicates, is a brief handbook of public international law. The objective of this textbook is to provide its readers with a coherent introduction into the study of public international law. This textbook therefore explains the main concepts and institutions of public international law. In doing so, where appropriate, the text takes into consideration historic origins and development of the respektive institutions of public international law, as well as the historic development of public international law as a whole.
This textbook also deliberately includes extensive quotations of both primary texts (such as court decisions or texts of international treaties) as well as thoughts of influential writers in the respective fields of public international law. The resort to extensive quotations should provide the reader with first hand resources without the (always subjective) deformation of the respektive source via paraphrasing.
This textbook is not intended to serve as an all-encompassing textbook or encyclopedia. After all, for that it would be too short in the first place. The objective here is to provide the reader with a basic introduction into the key areas of public international law, foundations upon which one can built further study. The reason is that this book is primarily intended as a main textbook for a one semester course called Introduction to Public International Law taught at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and frequented primarily by Erasmus exchange students for whom English is in most cases a foreign language. In doing so, this textbook leaves out certain areas of public international law that ought to be read elsewhere, inter alia: material maritime law, international criminal law, space law, aviation law, international environmental law, and human rights law. Other areas are discussed in volume and depth appropriate to a one semester course in a qualifying law degree program.

Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange
On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: 'I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted.' Dating from at least a millennium ago, these are the earliest known Arabic short stories, surviving in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Istanbul. Some found their way into The Arabian Nights but most have never been read in English before. Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange has monsters, lost princes, jewels beyond price, a princess turned into a gazelle, sword-wielding statues and shocking reversals of fortune.
