Krátký výlet po lidském vědomí
Kniha vznikla na základě tzv. Reithových přednášek, k nimž je již přes 60 let každý rok vyzván jeden významný světový vědec. V souladu se záměrem lorda Reitha se slavný neurolog Vilayanur Ramachandran snaží své vědecké znalosti učinit přístupnými pro odborné i laické zájemce. Na základě zajímavých neurologických poruch, s nimiž pracoval (fantomové končetiny, Capgrasův syndrom, synestézie, neglekt), vysvětluje, jak funguje lidský mozek a snaží se odpovědět na otázky typu „Jak konstruujeme své tělové schéma?“, „Co je neuroestetika?“, „Co je metafora?“, „Proč někteří lidé vnímají noty barevně?“.
Vilayanur S. Ramachandran je neurovědec, který proslul svými výzkumy v oblasti behaviorální neurologie a vizuální psychofyziky bez užití složitých technologií. Je profesorem psychologie a neurovědy na Kalifornské univerzitě a nositelem mnoha ocenění. V roce 1997 byl časopisem Newsweek zařazen mezi sto nejvýraznějších lidí 21. století, podobně v roce 2011 ho magazín Time označil jako jednoho ze sta nejvlivnějších lidí na světě. V češtině vyšla jeho kniha Mozek a jeho tajemství (2013).
The Death of the Gods
THE OLD GODS ARE DYING.
Giant corporations collapse overnight. Newspapers are being swallowed. Stock prices plummet with a tweet.
NEW IDOLS ARE RISING IN THEIR PLACE.
More crime now happens online than offline. Facebook has grown bigger than any state, bots battle elections, coders write policy, and algorithms shape our lives in more ways than we can imagine.
The Death of the Gods is an exploration of power in the digital age, and a journey in search of the new centres of control. From a cyber-crime raid in British suburbia to the engine rooms of Silicon Valley, pioneering technology researcher Carl Miller traces how power is being transformed, fought over, lost and won.

The ideal introduction for students, aspiring citizens, and general readers to the documents that are as relevant today as when they were first drafted more than 200 years ago. In the years since their creation, the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the Constitution of the United States (1789) have come to be recognized as two of history's most significant political documents.

In this revised and updated edition, readers will find complete explanations of every section of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution--its Preamble, main body, and amendments--so that readers may fully understand what they meant to our forefathers and what they mean to us today.

Valley of Genius
Rarely has one economy asserted itself as swiftly--and as aggressively--as the entity we now know as Silicon Valley. Built with a seemingly permanent culture of reinvention, Silicon Valley does not fight change; it embraces it, and now powers the American economy and global innovation. So how did this omnipotent and ever-morphing place come to be? It was not by planning.
It was, like many an empire before it, part luck, part timing, and part ambition. And part pure, unbridled genius... Drawing on over two hundred in-depth interviews, VALLEY OF GENIUS takes readers from the dawn of the personal computer and the internet, through the heyday of the web, up to the very moment when our current technological reality was invented.
The book interweaves stories of invention and betrayal, overnight success and underground exploits, to tell the story of Silicon Valley like it has never been told before. These are the stories that Valley insiders tell each other: the tall tales that are all, improbably, true.

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
One of the most important works of cultural theory ever written, Walter Benjamin's groundbreaking essay explores how the age of mass media means audiences can listen to or see a work of art repeatedly - and what the troubling social and political implications of this are.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
In the Closet of the Vatican
In the Closet of the Vatican exposes the rot at the heart of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church today. This brilliant piece of investigative writing is based on four years' authoritative research, including extensive interviews with those in power.
The celibacy of priests, the condemnation of the use of contraceptives, the cover up of countless cases of sexual abuse, the resignation of Benedict XVI, misogyny among the clergy, the dramatic fall in Europe of the number of vocations to the priesthood, the plotting against Pope Francis - all these issues are clouded in mystery and secrecy.
In the Closet of the Vatican is a book that reveals these secrets and penetrates this enigma. It derives from a system founded on a clerical culture of secrecy which starts in junior seminaries and continues right up to the Vatican itself. It is based on the double lives of priests and on extreme homophobia. The resulting schizophrenia in the Church is hard to fathom. But the more a prelate is homophobic, the more likely it is that he is himself gay.
`Behind rigidity there is always something hidden, in many cases a double life'. These are the words of Pope Francis himself and with them the Pope has unlocked the Closet.
No one can claim to really understand the Catholic Church today until they have read this book. It reveals a truth that is extraordinary and disturbing.

Som nerozhodný (alebo nie?)
Čím sa prejavuje nerozhodnosť v prežívaní a v správaní sa človeka? Súvisí s osobnostnými charakteristikami? Prejavuje sa v rôznych situáciách iným spôsobom, či v inej intenzite? Je jeho miera citlivá na emocionálne prežívanie človeka? Kedy nadobudne chorobný rozmer? Ako je možné mierniť alebo eliminovať jej prejavy?
Ak máme ambíciu hľadať seriózne odpovede na uvedené a mnohé iné otázky v súvislosti s nerozhodnosťou, mali by sme sa opierať o vedecké poznatky. Žiaľ, širokej verejnosti sú dostupné najmä neodborné informácie typu „10+1 rád pre boj s nerozhodnosťou“. Cieľom publikácie je objasniť prejavy nerozhodnosti cez výskumné zistenia a ponúknuť jej ucelenú koncepciu najmä vedeckej a odbornej verejnosti, ako i študentom psychológie.

The Big Book of Birds
Why is a flamingo pink? Can a parrot talk? Is a bald eagle really bald? This follow-up to the hugely successful The Big Book of Bugs, The Big Book of Beasts and The Big Book of the Blue answers these questions and many more. It opens with introductory spreads explaining how to recognize different bird's eggs, the bird family tree, why different species of birds have different beaks and feathers, and why some birds migrate and travel vast distances every year. Subsequent spreads, illustrated with various habitats, are dedicated to specific varieties of bird, including hummingbirds, peacocks, flamingos, bald eagles, secretary birds, albatrosses and red-crowned cranes.
Some will teach children how to spot different birds within a specific variety, for example how to differentiate the American robin from the European robin. Others explore bird habitats, for example showing how birds adapt to live in cities. Finally, the book invites young bird spotters to protect birds where they live and make their gardens bird friendly.
This is a big, beautiful book to look at again and again.
