Dejiny Slovenska, 3. vydanie
Základnou otázkou, ktorú som si musel položiť na konci 90. rokov minulého storočia a ktorú si musím položiť aj teraz, je: Čo sú to dejiny Slovenska? A odpoveď je rovnaká: Sú to dejiny súčasného teritória Slovenska a dejiny jeho obyvateľov s dôrazom na slovenský národný príbeh, pretože je to príbeh dominantného etnika na tomto území. Zaujímavá je pritom metamorfóza Maďarov, ktorí boli v Uhorsku súčasťou národa, ktorého predstavitelia držali opraty štátu pevne v svojich rukách a po vzniku Československej republiky sa stali jednou z jej menšín. Ostatné národnosti a etnické skupiny boli v menšinovom postavení v Uhorsku i v Československu, aj keď sa rámec toho postavenia tiež zmenil.
Veľká Morava | V stredovekom Uhorsku | Pod tureckou hrozbou | Osvietenský absolutizmus | Vznik moderného slovenského národa | Postupné odcudzovanie sa uhorskému štátu | V medzivojnovom Československu | Slovenský štát ako Hitlerov satelit | Komunistická diktatúra a jej kríza | Pád komunizmu I Slovenská republika | Pandémia a politika

The Power of Language
Why should we learn more than one language?
Can it change the way we think?
Does it have the power to transform how we see the world?
You may think you speak only one language. In fact, your mind is interpreting multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in maths. Humans are built for multilingualism.
Drawing on cutting-edge research and theory, delivered with wit and lucid insight, psycholinguist Viorica Marian explores the ways in which the mind uses multiple languages and how, in doing so, we can open the doors to unique forms of creativity, brain health and cognitive control. Every new language we speak - whether it is coding or musical notes, Hindi or Arabic - shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and those around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make and the actions we take.
The Power of Language lays bare how we use different linguistic codes to think about the world - and change our place within it. Empowering and practical, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in how language really works.

The Shame Machine
Shame is being weaponized by governments and corporations to attack the most vulnerable. It's time to fight back.
Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool. When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice.
But as best-selling author Cathy O'Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponized — used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets us off the hook as a society.
After all, why pay higher taxes to fund programmes for people who are fundamentally unworthy? O'Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations and the healthcare system capitalize on it. There are damning stories of rehab clinics, reentry programs, drug and diet companies, and social media platforms — all of which profit from 'punching down' on the vulnerable. Woven throughout The Shame Machine is the story of O'Neil's own struggle with body image and her recent weight-loss surgery, which awakened her to the systematic shaming of fat people seeking medical care.
With clarity and nuance, O'Neil dissects the relationship between shame and power. Whom does the system serve? How do current incentive structures perpetuate the shaming cycle? And, most important, how can we all fight back?

Get it Done
A great deal of ink has been spilled on the subject of motivating and influencing others, but what happens when the person you most want to influence is you? Setting and achieving goals for yourself – at work, at home, and in relationships – is harder than it seems. Knowing where to start, and carrying on in the face of roadblocks and distractions, can easily become overwhelming. When you face more responsibilities, needs and desires than you can keep track of, how do you prioritize?
In Get it Done, psychologist and behavioural scientist Ayelet Fishbach presents a new theoretical framework for self-motivated action, explaining how to:
– Identify the right goals
– Attack the ‘middle problem’
– Battle temptations
– Use the help of others around you
– And so much more...
With fascinating research from the field of motivation science and compelling stories of people who learned to motivate themselves, Get it Done illuminates invaluable strategies for pulling yourself in whatever direction you want to go – so you can achieve your goals while staying healthy, clearheaded and happy.

The Social Brain
How many people does the ideal team contain? How do groups bond, earn trust and forge shared identities? How can leaders build environments adaptable enough to respond to shocks and still enable people to thrive together? How can you feel close to people if your only point of contact is a phone or a computer?
In The Social Brain leading experts from the worlds of evolutionary psychology and business management come together to offer a primer on great team working. They explain what size groups work and how to shape them according to the nature of the task at hand. They offer practical hints on how to diffuse tensions and encourage cooperation. And they demonstrate the vital importance of balancing unity and the need for different views and outlooks. By explaining precisely how the 'social brain' works, they show how human groups function and how to create great, high-performing teams.

Katastrofa - Pomstitelia 3
Prečítajte si poslednú knihu postapokalyptickej sci-fi trilógie Pomstitelia od oceňovaného, celosvetovo úspešného Brandona Sandersona! Keď Katastrofa rozžiarila oblohu, zrodili sa Epici. Od tej historickej noci bol Davidov osud s nimi nerozlučne spätý. Metalurg zabil jeho otca. Pyro ukradla jeho srdce. A teraz Regalia premenila Profesora, jeho najbližšieho spojenca, na nebezpečného nepriateľa. David poznal Profesorovo tajomstvo a neprezradil ho ani vtedy, keď Profesor zápasil s následkami svojich schopností. Avšak boj s Deštruktorom v Novom Babylone sa mal stať tou poslednou kvapkou. Hoci bol Profesor kedysi vodcom Pomstiteľov, napokon prijal svoj osud Vysokého Epika a zdá sa, že už niet cesty späť... Ale čo ak sa všetci mýlia a vykúpenie je možné aj pre Epikov? Megan by mohla byť toho dôkazom. A nádejou, že nie všetko je stratené. Práve David je dostatočne šialený na to, aby sa postavil najmocnejšiemu Epikovi a získal späť svojho priateľa.

Nokturno pro Přímoří
Román Nokturno pro Přímoří (Nokturno za Primorsko, 2004) je čtením s vrstevnatým poselstvím. Lze jej vnímat jako historický román o jedné epoše, lze jej číst jako tragický záznam jednoho lidského osudu, ale je možné v něm hledat i zásadní hodnotové poselství v rozkolísaném světě. Prozaik Alojz Rebula (1924-2018), dnes již klasik slovinské literatury, si v něm všímá ideologických tlaků, represí, které jednotlivé režimy používají, i důsledků budování ideologických bariér mezi obyčejnými lidmi. Postava kněze Florijana Burnika a jeho chápání kněžského poslání je právě zosobněním snahy stát na straně člověka, jak mu to přikazuje etika biblického poselství, a být nezištně nablízku lidem, kteří jeho pomoc potřebují, a to i za cenu osobní oběti. Autorovi byl částečným předobrazem Burnika slovinský kněz Filip Terčelj (1892-1946), který mezi válkami působil v Gorici.
Foolproof
One of the world's top experts on fighting misinformation reveals the psychology behind its power - and how we can protect ourselves.
From fake news to conspiracy theories, from pandemics to politics, misinformation may be the defining problem of our era. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds - altering our beliefs and replicating at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, our primary strategies of fact-checking and debunking are an insufficient cure.
In Foolproof Sander van der Linden describes how to inoculate yourself and others against the spread of misinformation, discern fact from fiction and push back against methods of mass persuasion.
Everyone is susceptible to fake news. There are polarising narratives in society, conspiracy theories are rife, fake experts dole out misleading advice and accuracy is often lost in favour of sensationalist headlines. So how and why does misinformation spread if we're all aware of its existence? And, more importantly, what can we do about it?
Sander van der Linden takes us through the psychology of conspiratorial thinking and equips us with the eleven antigens needed to help stop the spread of misinformation once and for all.

Permission to Speak
What does power sound like? Loud? Brash? Masculine? Here's the truth: if you're a woman, a person of colour, an immigrant or queer, there's often dissonance between how you speak and how we think powerful people sound, i.e. the wealthy white men who have historically set the standard.
In this witty and warm guide, speech expert Samara Bay, who has worked with the likes of Gal Gadot, Penélope Cruz and Terry Crews, as well as global leaders in business and politics, offers a new approach to asserting your power in all areas of life. Permission to Speak is packed with expert tips and easy-to-follow exercises, demonstrating that you don't have to speak like the status quo to be taken seriously.

Upshift
From a leading international crisis management expert, a breakthrough book about performance under pressure that will change the way you think about stress.
When we experience too much stress, we often feel like shutting down and escaping the source: we 'downshift'. With too little stress, we become apathetic and disengaged. But what happens in the middle zone - when we experience what psychologists call 'positive stress' - and how can we use it to overcome extraordinary barriers and perform at our peak?
From his role as a globally recognised change-maker at the likes of the United Nations, the International Red Cross and the World Bank, Ben Ramalingam has a unique vantage point from which to identify the key principles that can enable anyone to use stress as an opportunity for change. We learn how a switch in mentality helps musicians dazzle huge crowds against all odds; how astronauts focus on originality to overcome life-threatening incidents; and how discovering a sense of purpose allows emergency health workers and aid experts to deal with unprecedented crises.
Through a sweep of fascinating interviews, in-depth research and inspiring human stories, Upshift provides us with an everyday toolkit that can help to improve our work, relationships and mindset, and places us on the road to success. Taking readers on an epic journey from early humans' survival of the Ice Age to how modern social movements emerge and propagate in the digital world, Upshift is a reminder that creative solutions to complex problems will always exist - as long as we're ready to innovate.

Duch ateismu (svazek 7)
André Comte-Sponville je současný francouzský filosof a mediální osobnost. Po ukončení studií pracoval jako učitel filosofie na středních školách, později byl téměř patnáct let univerzitním profesorem, nejdéle na katedře filosofie univerzity Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Po mezinárodním úspěchu knihy Petit Traité des grandes vertus, 1995 (Malá kniha o velkých ctnostech) se rozhodl věnovat výlučně spisovatelské a přednáškové činnosti. Je častým přispěvatelem předních listů jako Le Monde, Libération či Le Nouvel Observateur i hostem francouzských televizních pořadů. Rovněž pořádá přednášky pro soukromé firmy i odborové organizace. Osm let byl členem Národního poradního výboru pro etiku (Comité consultatif national détique), kromě toho je též čestným členem Společnosti na obranu práva na důstojnou smrt (Association pour le droit de mourir dans la dignité).
Kromě své pedagogické a popularizační činnosti je Comte-Sponville autorem desítek knih převážně na témata z etiky a sociální filosofie. Jednou z nejpopulárnějších je Duch ateismu (Lesprit de lathéisme. Introduction a une spiritualité sans Dieu) z roku 2006. V této knize vypracoval Comte-Sponville nejpodrobněji svou koncepci ateismu, který je slučitelný se spirituálním životem. Tato varianta ateismu kontrastuje s u nás známějším tzv. novým ateismem anglosaských autorů, jako jsou Richard Dawkins nebo Christopher Hitchens.
Ako byť antirasista
Oceňovaný americký autor predstavuje novú cestu, ako porozumieť rasizmu a nerovnosti v našej spoločnosti a ako ich vykoreniť raz a navždy.
Antirasizmus je transformačný koncept, ktorý mení diskusie o rasizme, ale najmä poukazuje na nové oslobodzujúce spôsoby myslenia. Rasizmus je vo svojej podstate mocný systém, ktorý vytvára falošné hierarchie ľudskej hodnoty. Jeho pokrivená logika siaha za hranice rasy od spôsobu, akým uvažujeme o ľuďoch iných etnicít alebo inej farby pokožky, až po spôsob, akým sa správame k ľuďom odlišného pohlavia, odlišnej rodovej identity a postavy. Rasizmus sa prelína s triedou, kultúrou a geografiou a dokonca mení aj náš obraz o sebe.
V knihe Ako byť antirasista Kendi sprevádza čitateľov širokým okruhom antirasistických myšlienok od tých najzákladnejších konceptov až po vizionárske alternatívy. Pomáha nám jasne rozoznať rasizmus vo všetkých jeho formách, pochopiť jeho škodlivé dôsledky a ukazuje, ako sa možno voči nim brániť na úrovni systému, ale aj v našom vnútri. Kendi spája etiku, históriu, právo a vedu so svojím vlastným príbehom prebudenia z rasizmu. Táto kniha je povinné čítanie pre každého, komu nestačia len základné informácie o rasizme, ale chce ísť o krok ďalej a prispieť k vytvoreniu spravodlivej a slušnej spoločnosti
