Právní aspekty zajišťování bezpečnosti státu (Rizika, výzvy a možnosti řešení)
Zajišťování bezpečnosti je jedním ze základních úkolů státu. Jedná se o úkol tradiční, který státy plní od prvopočátku své existence. Lze předpokládat, že zajištění bezpečnosti bylo jednou z hlavních příčin, proč k ustavování států docházelo. Prostředí, ve kterém se státy nacházejí, je vysoce proměnlivé co do podob a intenzity bezpečnostních hrozeb. Nemění se však co do jejich přítomnosti. Ty jsou věčné jako lidstvo samo.
Uplynulých zhruba deset let náleží mezi ta období, která se vyznačují narůstáním bezpečnostních rizik a hrozeb. Zvyšuje se jejich množství, získávají nové formy a intenzitu, případně také vzájemnou provázanost. Česká republika stále patří mezi v zásadě klidné a stabilní země. Je to dáno řadou faktorů, mj. její polohou, socio-ekonomickými charakteristikami, zapojením do významných nadnárodních bezpečnostních organizací, ale také každodenním působením jejích bezpečnostních složek.
Každému je zřejmé, že nestabilita a turbulence jak globálně, tak v blízkém okolí České republiky, narůstají. Stejně tak je patrné, že tento vývoj bude ještě v nejbližší době přetrvávat.
Tato kniha si dala za cíl představit čtenáři v největší možné šíři aktuální trendy a výzvy v oblasti bezpečnosti týkající se bezprostředně České republiky. Každá z jejích kapitol se věnuje jiné bezpečnostní oblasti a popisuje ji srozumitelně, avšak na patřičné odborné úrovni, jak z hlediska věcného, tak i právního. Na hledisko právní je kladen zvláštní důraz, protože v rámci ústavně zakotvených principů demokratického právního státu se kvalitní právní úprava stává jednou z podmínek účinného prosazování bezpečnosti státu a jeho obyvatel. V opačném případě může být překážkou.
Věcný záběr této knihy nevynechává žádnou ze zásadních oblastí zajišťování bezpečnosti. Poskytnutý výklad je cenný především tím, že je podáván odborníky dlouhodobě se pohybujícími v dané věcně vymezené oblasti. Čtenáři se tak dostává mimořádná příležitost nahlédnout do světa, který je často opomíjen jak publikacemi akademického charakteru, tak sdělovacími prostředky.
Autoři věří, že kniha bude přínosným čtením jak pro laiky se zájmem o tuto zajímavou a komplexní oblast působení státu, tak i pro specialisty, kteří se díky ní budou moci seznámit s dalšími problémy spojenými se zajišťováním bezpečnosti. Stejně tak bude předkládaná kniha nepochybně užitečná pro studenty, ať už právních, nebo bezpečnostních věd.

The Black Tulip (EN)
The Black Tulip is a historical novel written by Alexandre Dumas. The story begins with a historical event - the 1672 lynching of the Dutch Grand Pensionary (roughly equivalent to a modern Prime Minister) Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis, by a wild mob of their own countrymen - considered by many as one of the most painful episodes in Dutch history, described by Dumas with a dramatic intensity.

Cheap Speech
What can be done consistent with the First Amendment to ensure that American voters can make informed election decisions and hold free elections amid a flood of virally spread disinformation and the collapse of local news reporting? How should American society counter the actions of people like former President Donald J. Trump, who used social media to convince millions of his followers to doubt the integrity of U.S. elections and helped foment a violent insurrection? What can we do to minimize disinformation campaigns aimed at suppressing voter turnout?
With piercing insight into the current debates over free speech, censorship, and Big Tech's responsibilities, Richard L. Hasen proposes legal and social measures to restore Americans' access to reliable information on which democracy depends. In an era when quack COVID treatments and bizarre QAnon theories have entered mainstream, this book explains how to assure both freedom of ideas and a commitment to truth.
The Idiot
Returning to Russia from a sanitarium in Switzerland, the Christ-like epileptic Prince Myshkin finds himself enmeshed in a tangle of love, torn between two women—the notorious kept woman Nastasya and the pure Aglaia—both involved, in turn, with the corrupt, money-hungry Ganya. In the end, Myshkin’s honesty, goodness, and integrity are shown to be unequal to the moral emptiness of those around him.

The Death Ivan Ilych and other stories (riverrun editions)
'How truth thickens and deepens when it migrates from didactic fable to the raw experience of a visceral awakening is one of the thrills of Tolstoy's stories'
Sharon Cameron in her preface to The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories
Tolstoy wrote in many genres for different audiences. In this, the first of three volumes of his shorter fiction chosen and introduced by the critic Sharon Cameron, we see works originally written for children, like 'God Sees the Truth But Waits', and 'A Prisoner in the Caucasus'. They stand alongside others which show his range and accomplishment, including an early story based on his experiences in the Crimean war, 'Sevastopol in May', and the visceral intensity of one of his greatest works, 'The Death of Ivan Ilych'.
This riverrun edition reissues the translation of Louise and Aylmer Maude, whose influential versions of Tolstoy first brought his work to a wide readership in English.

An Inventory of Losses
"As we deal with the consequences, emotional and material, of a pandemic, it is hard to imagine a better guide to the resources of hope than Schalansky's deeply engaging inventory" MICHAEL CRONIN, Irish Times
"Weaving fiction, autobiography and history, this sumptuous collection of texts offers meditations on the diverse phenomena of decomposition and destruction" Financial Times "Books of the Year"
Following the conventions of a different genre, each of the pieces in Schalansky's Inventory considers something that is irretrievably lost to the world, from the paradisal island of Tuanaki, the Caspian Tiger or the Villa Sacchetti in Rome, to Sappho's love poems, Greta Garbo's fading beauty or a painting by Caspar David Friedrich.
As a child of the former East Germany, it's not surprising that "loss" and its aftermath should haunt Schalansky's writing, but what is extraordinary and exhilarating is the engaging mixture of intellectual curiosity, ironic humour, stylistic elegance, intensity of feeling and grasp of life's pitiless vitality, that combine to make this one of the most original literary works of recent times.
Sienese Painting
An essential visual overview for students and readers with an interest in Sienese art, history and Renaissance culture.
For two centuries, the city-republic of Siena was home to a brilliant succession of painters who created some of the greatest masterpieces of all time; an imagery unmatched in colouristic intensity and spatial experimentation. This overview, now revised and updated, is an essential introduction to this extraordinary artistic tradition. Taking a broadly chronological approach, it moves from the 14th-century Siena of Duccio, Simone Martini and the Lorenzetti brothers, to the 15th-century city of Sassetta and Giovanni di Paolo.
Perceptive visual analysis of the distinctive styles and conventions of Sienese painting is combined with clear explanations of traditional techniques such as fresco and tempera. The works are also placed in their social and religious context through discussion of Siena's system of government, its civic consciousness, the importance of the Franciscan movement and the cults of local saints.
An accomplished writer as well as a practising artist, Timothy Hyman brings breadth of knowledge and experience to this extensively illustrated book, brilliantly conveying his personal enthusiasm for Sienese art.

* Should Dad be driving, and if not, who can stop him?
* What are the secrets of the best care homes?
* When does fierce independence become bad behaviour?

Serious, funny, kind and knowledgeable, this readable book helps guide us through essential conversations about getting older that go straight to the heart of what matters most.
Little Dorrit
Upon its publication in 1857, Little Dorrit immediately outsold any of Dickens’s previous books. The story of William Dorrit, imprisoned for debt in Marshalsea Prison, and his daughter and helpmate, Amy, or Little Dorrit, the novel charts the progress of the Dorrit family from poverty to riches. In his Introduction, David Gates argues that “intensity of imagination is the gift from which Dickens’s other great attributes derive: his eye and ear, his near-universal empathy, his ability to entertain both a sense of the ridiculous and a sense of ultimate significance.”

Léčba diabetu u pacientů s onemocněním ledvin a jater
Diabetes mellitus patří mezi nejčastější „civilizační“ choroby, se kterými se setkávají bez výjimky lékaři všech specializací. Toto onemocnění významným způsobem zvyšuje riziko kardiovaskulární morbidity a mortality, zkracuje délku života a zhoršuje kvalitu života diabetiků zejména v důsledku vzniku dlouhodobých komplikací. Přesto se diabetici – vlivem celkově zlepšené péče a nových léčebných postupů – ve stále větším počtu dožívají rozvinutých fází komplikací postihujících i další systémy či orgány. Mezi klinicky nejzásadnější patří s diabetem související postižení ledvin a jater, jejichž tíže často určuje další osud diabetika. Autorský kolektiv se snažil vytvořit publikaci zabývající se komplexním pohledem na problematiku léčby diabetika s onemocněním ledvin či onemocněním jater. Zejména v posledním desetiletí došlo k získání řady nových poznatků o diabetické nefropatii a k rozvoji nových léčebných postupů, a to nejen v oblasti prevence a raných stadií nefropatie, ale i pokud jde o léčbu pacientů se selháním ledvin na podkladě diabetu. Podobnou situaci lze pozorovat u onemocnění jater u diabetiků. Cílem předloženého díla je podat ucelený přehled vybraných informací o výskytu, morfologii, patogenezi, klinickém obrazu, diagnostice, prevenci a léčbě onemocnění ledvin a jater u pacientů s diabetem a také podrobné informace o možnostech antidiabetické léčby těchto pacientů, jejíž výběr je kvůli renální či jaterní insuficienci mnohdy významně omezen. Na závěr je zařazena kapitola zabývající se farmakokinetikou léků, zejména z pohledu praktických informací o dávkování léčiv a jejich nejčastějších interakcích v případě renální či jaterní insuficience. Text je doplněn řadou tabulek, přehledných schémat a obrazovou dokumentací. V závěru každé kapitoly je uveden souhrn literatury, kde čtenář může nalézt zdroje k dalšímu studiu. Kniha je určená pro širokou odbornou obec – diabetology, nefrology, internisty, praktické lékaře a další odborníky, kteří se podílejí na léčbě pacientů s diabetem.
The Art of Money Getting, or Golden Rules for Making Money
P. T. Barnum, the great American showman of the 19th century, wrote this short book about making and keeping money. He certainly had life experiences that qualify him for the subject--he started a small newspaper in his twenties, bought and transformed a museum into a showplace for curiosities, built a circus empire that gave performances in America and Europe, promoted a performing tour of a singer, fell into debt in the 1850s and pulled himself out by lecture tours, was a mayor, and founded a hospital.Excerpts:"Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. ... True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go.""Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling..."His advice is indicated by the chapter titles:DON'T MISTAKE YOUR VOCATION,SELECT THE RIGHT LOCATION,AVOID DEBT,PERSEVERE,WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,USE THE BEST TOOLS,DON'T GET ABOVE YOUR BUSINESS,LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL,LET HOPE PREDOMINATE, BUT BE NOT TOO VISIONARY,DO NOT SCATTER YOUR POWERS,BE SYSTEMATIC,READ THE NEWSPAPERS,BEWARE OF "OUTSIDE OPERATIONS",DON'T INDORSE WITHOUT SECURITY,ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS,"DON'T READ THE OTHER SIDE",BE POLITE AND KIND TO YOUR CUSTOMERS,BE CHARITABLE,DON'T BLAB,PRESERVE YOUR INTEGRITY.

Gilded
All magic comes at a price, but love was never part of the bargain . . .
The look he was giving her. Serilda had never been looked at like that before . . . The intensity.
The heat. The raw astonishment. He was going to kiss her.
Cursed by the god of lies, a miller's daughter has developed a talent for storytelling - but are all of her tales as false as they appear?
When one of Serilda's stories draws the attention of the devastating Erlking, she finds herself swept away into a world of enchantment, where ghouls prowl the earth, and ravens track her every move. The king locks Serilda in a castle dungeon and orders her to spin straw into gold, or be killed for lying. In despair, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious young man to her aid. And he agrees to help her, for a price. But love wasn't meant to be part of the bargain.
A compulsive read, and as bewitchingly good as you'd expect from a YA bestselling author. You will stay up all night reading this.
'Gilded glitters as brightly as the stories and gold that Serilda and Gild spin' Kate Corr (The Corr Sisters), authors of The Witch's Kiss trilogy and A Throne of Swans duology
Z hlubin
Román nejvýznamnější současné kanadské spisovatelky o hledání vnitřní podstaty člověka uprostřed civilizace a jejích vlivů. Bezejmenná vypravěčka putuje s milencem a dvěma přáteli do krajiny Kanadských jezer hledat zmizelého otce. Ponorem pod hladinu vlastního vědomí však postupně odkrývá svou vnitřní identitu. V románu, kde se střídají pasáže lyricko-naturalistické, psychologické, s pasážemi překvapivě odlehčenými až humornými, vyplouvají na povrch některá palčivá témata současné situace člověka: rozpor mezi "přírodním" a "kulturním" lidstvím vedoucí ke ztrátě vnitřní integrity člověka, dichotomie mužského a ženského principu, vyprázdněnost lidských vztahů.
