The Nicomachean Ethics
In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life.
This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments.

Going Mainstream
Incels. Anti Vaxxers. Conspiracy theorists. Neo-Nazis. Once, these groups all belonged on the fringes of the political spectrum. Today, accelerated by a pandemic, global conflict and rapid technological change, their ideas are becoming more widespread: QAnon proponents run for U.S. Congress, neo-fascists win elections in Europe, and celebrity influencers spread dangerous myths to millions. Going Mainstream asks the question: What is happening here?
Going undercover online and in person, UK counter-extremism expert Julia Ebner reveals how, united by a shared sense of grievance and scepticism about institutions, radicalised individuals are influencing the mainstream as never before. Hidden from public scrutiny, they leverage social media to create alternative information ecosystems and build sophisticated networks funded by dark money.
Ebner's candid conversations with extremists offer a nuanced and gripping insight into why people have turned to the fringes. She explores why outlandish ideas have taken hold and disinformation is spreading faster than ever. And she speaks to the activists and educators who are fighting to turn the tide.
Going Mainstream is a dispatch from the darkest front of the culture wars, and a vital wake-up call.

Ladislav Mednyánszky
Obsiahla publikácia venovaná významnému stredoeurópskemu maliarovi poslednej tretiny 19. a prvej tretiny 20. storočia Ladislavovi Mednyánszkemu (1852 – 1919) je výsledkom spoločného úsilia Slovenskej národnej galérie a Maďarskej národnej galérie. Tento monografický katalóg sa venuje rôznym aspektom Mednyánszkeho života a diela. Mapuje rôzne etapy jeho umeleckého vývoja ako i dobovú spoločnosť a jej vplyv na jeho názory a tvorbu. Okrem zhodnotenia jeho veľkého prínosu pre maliarstvo tej doby, hodnotí Mednyánszkeho nielen ako krajinára, maliara nálad, ale i výborného pozorovateľa a figuralistu. V publikácii sa nachádzajú štúdie Csilly Markója, Jána Abelovského, Arpáda Timára, Ferenca Gosztonyiho, Tünde Csasztvay, Erzsébet Király, Zsófie Kiss-Szemán, Ľudmily Peterajovej, ktoré sa venujú historicko-kritickému zhodnoteniu Mednyánszkeho tvorby ako i doterajších vedeckých spracovaní jeho života a diela.

Formy zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti
Predložená učebnica s názvom Formy zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti – Formen des ausländischen Marktengagements je určená pre študentov vysokých škôl, osobitne Právnickej fakulty Trnavskej univerzity v Trnave, a bola pripravená na výučbu dvoch marketingovo zameraných predmetov: Základy národného a medzinárodného marketingu a Formen des ausländischen Marktengagements. Rovnako je však určená tiež širšej marketingovej odbornej i laickej verejnosti.
Učebnica prináša prehľad základných alternatív foriem vstupu, ako aj ďalšej časovo podmienenej angažovanosti podnikateľských subjektov na zahraničných trhoch: osobitne vo vzťahu ku slovenskému odberateľskému trhu a najmä zo strany nemeckofónnych subjektov. Dôvody pre takto vymedzené zameranie učebného textu sú tri: (1.) Nemecko a Rakúsko predstavujú dlhodobo najvýznamnejších obchodných a investičných partnerov Slovenskej republiky; (2.) skutočnosť, že výučba predmetu Formen des ausländischen Marktengagements prebieha v nemeckom jazyku, (3.) v podstate všetky slovenské, ako aj ostatné stredoeurópske teoretické koncepcie foriem zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti sú dnes v rozhodujúcej miere ovplyvnené práve nemeckofónnymi prístupmi.
Popri teoreticky zameraných učebných textoch v slovenskom a nemeckom jazyku a zhodnotení predstavených prístupov (kapitoly 1, 2, 4 a 5) zahŕňa učebnica aj výsledky a grafické spracovanie dlhodobých prieskumov uskutočnených v rôznych sektoroch nášho národného hospodárstva (kapitola 3). Osobitné časti učebnice tvoria prípadové štúdie: INA, ktorá znázorňuje časovo podmienený vývoj foriem zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti na konkrétnej firme a obsahovo sa viaže na kapitolu 3 ako aplikačnú časť učebnice; Volkswagen v nemeckom jazyku a SEAT v slovenskom jazyku naopak nadväzujú najmä na kapitoly 1,2, 4 a 5 a slúžia študentom na praktické precvičovanie nadobudnutých znalostí z oblasti foriem zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti podnikateľských subjektov. Koncern Volkswagen k nám prišiel s doposiaľ najväčšou kapitálovou investíciou a jeho dcérska spoločnosť Volkswagen Slovakia sa stala naším najvýznamnejším exportérom. Keďže španielska automobilka SEAT tvorí súčasť nemeckého koncernu Volkswagen, bola zaradená ako v poradí posledná prípadová štúdia s cieľom objasniť možnosti zahraničnej trhovej angažovanosti bez kapitálovej účasti.
Učebnica ponúka nielen teoretický pohľad na problematiku, ale zobrazuje aj skutočný stav v každodennej podnikateľskej praxi a prostredníctvom zaradených prípadových štúdií plní svoju úlohu aj ako cvičebnica. V piatich kapitolách a troch prípadových štúdiách prináša čitateľovi aj množstvo schém a grafov, tabuľkových prehľadov, mapy a obrázky, ktoré sprehľadňujú či dokumentujú predložené poznatky graficky príťažlivým spôsobom.

Before the Big Bang
A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists
What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it.
Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family.
The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

Exploring Culture
A masterpiece in intercultural training!
Exploring Culture brings Geert Hofstede's five dimensions of national culture to life. Gert Jan Hofstede and his co-authors Paul Pedersen and Geert Hofstede introduce synthetic cultures, the ten "pure" cultural types derived from the extremes of the five dimensions. The result is a playful book of practice that is firmly rooted in theory.
Part light, part serious, but always thought-provoking, this unique book approaches training through the three-part process of building awareness, knowledge, and skills. It leads the reader through the first two components with more than 75 activities, dialogues, stories, and incidents. The Synthetic Culture Laboratory and two full simulations fulfill the skill-building component.
Exploring Culture is suitable for students, trainers, coaches and educators. It can be used for individual study or as a text, and it serves as an excellent partner to Geert Hofstede's popular Cultures and Organizations.

Dark Persuasion
This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control.
Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story?one that hasn’t yet ended.
