O sobě samém jako o jiném
Autor se v deseti studiích zabývá problematikou totožnosti.
Studie propojuje trojí záměr:
1. Vyhnout se problematičnosti filosofií, které se zabývají subjektem v první osobě (já ve smyslu ego cogito), a spíše sledovat linii vyjádřenou zvratným se, která vede k různým kladením otázek po kdo: např. kdo je mluvčím nějaké rozpravy, kdo je aktérem či cílem nějaké činnosti apod.
2. Rozlišovat (věcnou) totožnost ve smyslu neměnnosti v čase (totožnost-idem, stejnost) a (osobní) totožnost ve smyslu dodržování slibu (totožnost-ipse, „ipseita“).
3. Obnovit dialektiku sebe a jiného, přejít od pouhého srovnávacího „jako“ (sám jako jiný) k niternějšímu spojení sama sebe a jiného: sám jakožto jiný.

To Kill a Mockingbird - audiokniha
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition. Out now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Sissy Spacek.show less

From Music to Mathematics - Exploring the Connections
Taking a "music first" approach, Gareth E. Roberts's From Music to Mathematics will inspire students to learn important, interesting, and at times advanced mathematics. Ranging from a discussion of the geometric sequences and series found in the rhythmic structure of music to the phase-shifting techniques of composer Steve Reich, the musical concepts and examples in the book motivate a deeper study of mathematics. Comprehensive and clearly written, From Music to Mathematics is designed to appeal to readers without specialized knowledge of mathematics or music. Students are taught the relevant concepts from music theory (notation, scales, intervals, the circle of fifths, tonality, etc.), with the pertinent mathematics developed alongside the related musical topic. The mathematics advances in level of difficulty from calculating with fractions, to manipulating trigonometric formulas, to constructing group multiplication tables and proving a number is irrational.Topics discussed in the book include Rhythm Introductory music theory The science of sound Tuning and temperament Symmetry in music The Bartok controversy Change ringing Twelve-tone music Mathematical modern music The Hemachandra-Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio Magic squares Phase shifting Featuring numerous musical excerpts, including several from jazz and popular music, each topic is presented in a clear and in-depth fashion. Sample problems are included as part of the exposition, with carefully written solutions provided to assist the reader. The book also contains more than 200 exercises designed to help develop students' analytical skills and reinforce the material in the text. From the first chapter through the last, readers eager to learn more about the connections between mathematics and music will find a comprehensive textbook designed to satisfy their natural curiosity.

Pekelné stroje 2 - Mechanický princ
V magickom viktoriánskom Londýne našla Tessa útočisko u Tieňolovcov iba nakrátko. S pomocou príťažlivého samotára Willa a oddaného Jema totiž zisťuje, že Magistrova vojna proti Tieňolovcom je veľmi osobná. Viní ich za dávnu tragédiu, ktorá mu zničila život. Ak chcú odhaliť tajomstvá minulosti, musia preskúmať hmlistý kraj Yorkshire, hrôzostrašné sídlo plné nevypovedaných tajomstiev, špinavé uličky Londýna aj zakliatu plesovú sálu, kde sa Tessa dozvie strašidelnú pravdu o svojom pôvode. Keď sa napokon stretnú s mechanickým démonom, ktorý nesie varovanie pre Willa, uvedomia si, že Magister vie o každom ich kroku. Niekto ich zradil. Hľadanie Magistra a pravdy privádza trojicu do nebezpečenstva a Tessa zisťuje, že láska a lži dokážu otráviť aj to najčistejšie srdce. A jedna otázka stále visí vo vzduchu: Dozvie sa Tessa, kto vlastne je a aká je jej úloha?
Stromy

Viete, čím sa od seba líšia stromy a kríky? Na čo presne slúži kôra? Viete, že stromy majú aj vlastnú špeciálnu „krv“? Ako sa určuje vek stromov? Čo všetko stromy dokážu a na čo sú nám vlastne užitoččné? Možno na niektoré otázky odpovede poznáte, napriek tomu vás táto kniha urcite prekvapí svojimi pútavými menovkami, lstivými kvízmi a podnetmi na vlastné pozorovanie a bádanie v prírode.

Můj I. Q.
„I. Q. ze mě vytahuje kořeny. Jeden po druhém, rychle, v rytmu rapu. Tak rychle, až to lupe. Lup. Lup. Lup. I. Q. je vytáhne, oklepe od hlíny – a já jsem celá děravá, plná děr jako po vytržených zubech. Z I. Q. je ve mně čím dál míň a míň; už ve mně nekoření; už není ani trochu MŮJ.“
Můj I. Q., to je příběh velké, bláznivé lásky nebo spíš obsese. Vztah předem odsouzený k zániku, ale o to silnější, palčivější a hlubší, tu slouží jako podobenství zoufalé lásky k městu New York, nádherné a nelítostné metropoli, která své věrné přetavuje do podob, jaké by sami nečekali. Svěže, neotřele, rytmicky psané vyznání, v kterém je o New Yorku všechno.
We Didn´t Mean to Go to Sea
The four Walker children never meant to go to sea. They had promised their mother to stay safely in the harbour, and to be home on Friday in time for tea. But there they are in someone else's boat, drifting out to sea in a thick fog. When the fog lifts, they can turn round and sail back to the harbour. But then comes the wind and the storm, driving them out even further across the cold North Sea...

How to Read Greek Vases
This handsomely illustrated volume is the second in a series of publications aimed at giving a broad audience deeper insight into the extensive collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Museum is famed for its Greek vases. Joan R. Mertens, Curator in the Department of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan, has chosen thirty-five notable examples. They reveal the variety and vitality of the refined forms and masterfully rendered scenes that characterize these works. And they demonstrate the interrelation of function, shape, technique, and subject matter that is key to understanding the rich language of Greek vases. The introduction provides valuable background information, and the entries delve into the features of each vase, incorporating brilliant color illustrations, including many arresting details.
Greek vases served specific utilitarian functions, and they also afforded outstanding artists, some of whom signed their work, a medium for depicting both the details of daily existence and aspects of their gods, goddesses, and heroes. We see the garments, implements, athletic competitions, and marriage and funerary rituals of Greeks who lived from the seventh through the fourth century B.C. We see their mythological figures and stories, for instance, the goddess Athena with her helmet, spear, and shield, and the great hero Herakles, from his first exploit as a baby to his elevation as an immortal at the end of his earthly life.
The exceptional group of works assembled in this volume conveys the extent to which the culture of ancient Greece is still apparent today. Urns and jars inspired by Greek models are a staple in all types of public and private spaces. The meander patterns, palmettes, and other florals that adorn ancient vases recur in all kinds of modern objects. And the concept of the hero, or superman, first formulated and given visual form in ancient Greece is integral to Western culture.
How to Read Greek Vases is sure to inspire closer scrutiny of these remarkable works of art, which have survived for over two millennia to offer viewers an enlightening look into the ancient heritage of the Western world.

Stratený muž
Román vychádzajúcej austrálskej hviezdy kriminálnej literatúry opisuje veľmi sugestívne a so zmyslom pre gradovanie napätia nemilosrdnú austrálsku divočinu a ľudí, ktorí v nej žijú. Sú takí tvrdí a zocelení drsným životom a ťažkou prácou, že neraz dokážu byť krutejší ako sama príroda.
Dvaja bratia sa stretnú pri plote oddeľujúcom ich statky. Hlboko v pustom vnútrozemí austrálskeho kontinentu sú široko-ďaleko jediní susedia. Ich domy sú od seba vzdialené na tri hodiny cesty autom. Cam, ich prostredný brat, ktorý sa stará o rodičovský ranč, im leží mŕtvy pri nohách. Zomrel sám, očividne vyčerpaný od smädu a horúčavy. Muži prinesú brata domov na ranč. Rodinu zasiahne hlboký smútok, v ktorom sa rodí neistota, narastá nedôvera a vzájomné upodozrievanie. Čo ak Cameron nezomrel prirodzenou smrťou? Čo ak izolácia a samota uprostred šírej pustatiny menia ľudí na stelesnené zlo?
Jane Harperová napísala za tri roky tri bestsellery, podľa jedného z nich nakrúcajú v Hollywoode film. Zanechala novinárske remeslo, pustila sa do písania austrálskych trilerov a natrafila na zlatú žilu.

From Dual to Cooperative Federalism
What is the federal philosophy inspiring the structure of European law? The federal principle stands for constitutional arrangements that find 'unity in diversity'. The two most influential manifestations of the federal principle emerged under the names of 'dual' and 'cooperative' federalism in the constitutional history of the United States of America. Dual federalism is based on the idea that the federal government and the State governments are co-equals and each is legislating in a separate sphere. Cooperative federalism, on the other hand, stands for the thought that both governments legislate in the same sphere. They are hierarchically arranged and complement each other in solving a social problem. Can the European Union be understood in federal terms? The book's general part introduces three constitutional traditions of the federal idea. Following the American tradition, the European Union is defined as a Federation of States as it stands on the 'middle ground' between international and national law. But what federal philosophy has the European Union followed? The special part of the book investigates the structure of European law. Three arguments are advanced to show the evolution of the European legal order from dual to cooperative federalism. The first looks at the decline of constitutional exclusivity on the part of the Member States and the European Union. For almost all objects of government, the Union and its States operate in a universe of shared powers. The second argument analyses the decline of legislative exclusivity. European and national legislation - increasingly - complement each other to solve a social problem. The third argument describes the 'constitutionalisation' of cooperative federalism in the form of the principle of subsidiarity and the idea of complementary competences. A final Chapter is dedicated to Europe's foreign affairs federalism. It analyses, whether the external sphere must be regarded as subject to different constitutional or federal principles. The book concludes that cooperative federalism will benefit both levels of government - the Union and the Member States - as the constitutional mechanism of uniform European standards complemented by diverse national standards best expresses the federal idea of 'unity in diversity'.

How to Read Chinese Paintings
The Chinese often use the expression du hua, "to read a painting," in connection with their study and appreciation of such works. This volume closely "reads" thirty-six masterpieces of Chinese painting from the encyclopedic collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to reveal the major characteristics and themes of this rich pictorial tradition. The book examines multiple layers of meaning-style, technique, symbolism, past traditions, and the artist's personal circumstances-through accessible texts and numerous large color details. A dynastic chronology, map, and list of further readings supplement the text.
Spanning a thousand years of Chinese art, these landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, religious subjects, and calligraphies illuminate the main goal of every Chinese artist: to capture not only the outer appearance of a subject but also its inner essence.
