Around the Globe. Rethinking Oral History with Its Protagonists
Publikace Around the Globe. Rethinking Oral History with Its Protagonists přináší rozhovory s třinácti významnými osobnostmi, které se zabývají orální historií. Profesor Miroslav Vaněk formou interview zaznamenal nejen části životních příběhů těchto osobností, to, jak a proč se začali orální historií zabývat, ale i jejich názory na postavení a význam orální historie v rámci společenských věd. V rozhovorech je reflektováno, jak se vyrovnávají s často kladenou otázkou subjektivity orální historie, zda orální historii považují za obor nebo metodu a jestli je taková klasifikace důležitá. Osobnosti jako David King Dunaway, Ronald Grele, Elizabeth Millwood, Alexander von Plato, Alessandro Portelli, Alistair Thomson, Paul Thompson a další se zároveň zamýšlejí nad budoucností orální historie v době rychle se rozvíjejících technologií i nad možnostmi interpretace orálně historických interview. Publikace je určena všem zájemcům o společenské vědy.

Elephant on the Moon
In a small town there lives a lady astronomer. Every evening she looks at the moon through her telescope. She knows it like the back of her own hand. Even in her sleep she can name all the mountains, the craters and the oceans of the silvery globe. One night she makes an amazing discovery. Can it be that there's an elephant living on the moon? The members of the Moon Society refuse to believe her. Elephant on the Moon is a richly illustrated tale of courage, passion and determination. Although it is directed mainly at younger readers, it refers to serious events. Sir Paul Neal in the seventeenth century - one of the astronomers of the Royal Society - is supposed to have been the first to observe an elephant on the moon. At the time, his discovery provoked much confusion and fired the imaginations of many writers. Thanks to Samuel Butler's satirical account, the story reached France. Fontaine himself wrote a tale about it - "Un animal dans la lune." Almost 350 years later Gosia Herba and Mikolaj Pasiński have come back to this story of the moon, and out of it they have spun a new tale full of adventure.

The Witches
"One child a week is fifty-two a year. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear."
This is a story about REAL WITCHES.
Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, have ordinary jobs and look very much like ordinary people.

The Cat Who Saved Books
Grandpa used to say it all the time: books have tremendous power. But what is that power really?
Natsuki Books was a tiny second-hand bookshop on the edge of town. Inside, towering shelves reached the ceiling, every one crammed full of wonderful books. Rintaro Natsuki loved this space that his grandfather had created. He spent many happy hours there, reading whatever he liked. It was the perfect refuge for a boy who tended to be something of a recluse.
After the death of his grandfather, Rintaro is devastated and alone. It seems he will have to close the shop. Then, a talking tabby cat called Tiger appears and asks Rintaro for help. The cat needs a book lover to join him on a mission. This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them. Finally, there is one last rescue that Rintaro must attempt alone . . .
The Cat Who Saved Books is a heart-warming story about finding courage, caring for others - and the tremendous power of books. Sosuke Natsukawa's international bestseller, translated from Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai, is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.
On Connection

Personal, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is a meditation on creative connection and call to arms that speaks to a universal yet intimate truth

Eltékozolt évtized - The lost decade
All sorts of people came into the offices of the news-weekly and Orrison Brown had all sorts of relations with them. Outside of office hours he was ?one of the editors??during work time he was simply a curly-haired man who a year before had edited the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern and was now only too glad to take the undesirable assignments around the office, from straightening out illegible copy to playing call boy without the title. A legkülönbözõbb típusú emberek látogatták a hetilap szerkesztõségének irodáit, és Orrison Brown ennek megfelelõen bánt velük. Munkaidõn kívül ?a szerkesztõk egyike? volt, de munkaidõben csak egy fürtös hajú fiatalember, aki egy évvel ezelõtt még a Jack-o-Lantern címû harvardi diáklapot szerkesztette, és most mindennek örült, amit a hivatalban rábíztak. Annak is, aminek mások nem nagyon. Például az olvashatatlan kéziratok szerkesztésétõl a kefelevonattal való futkározásig.

Vaják II. - The Witcher - A végzet kardja
Az utolsó kívánság nagy sikerű folytatásában Geralt további novellákban küzd szörnyekkel, démonokkal és emberi gonoszsággal…
Geralt a vajákok közé tartozik: mágikus képességeinek köszönhetően, amelyeket hosszan tartó kiképzése és egy rejtélyes elixír csak még tovább csiszolt, zseniális és könyörtelen harcos hírében áll. Ugyanakkor nem hétköznapi gyilkos: célpontjai vérszomjas szörnyetegek és aljas fenevadak, amelyek mindenütt hatalmas pusztítást végeznek, és megtámadják az ártatlanokat. A birodalmat járva azonban fokozatosan ráébred, hogy bár prédái egy része kétségtelenül elvetemült szörnyeteg, mások azonban bűn, ármány vagy egyszerű ostobaság áldozatai.
Andrzej Sapkowski 1948-ban született Lengyelországban. Hazája egyik leghíresebb és legsikeresebb szerzőjének számít. A World Fantasy Életműdíjjal kitüntetett szerző Vaják-sorozatával nemzetközi sikert aratott, könyvei alapján képregények és számítógépes játékok is készültek, 2019-ben pedig a Netflix forgatott belőlük sorozatot Henry Cavill főszereplésével.

Red Atlas
Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, its legacy and the accompanying Russian-American tension continues to loom large. Russia's access to detailed information on the United States and its allies may not seem so shocking in this day of data clouds and leaks, but long before we had satellite imagery of any neighborhood at a finger's reach, the amount the Soviet government knew about your family's city, street, and even your home would astonish you. Revealing how this was possible, The Red Atlas is the never-before-told story of the most comprehensive mapping endeavor in history and the surprising maps that resulted. From 1950 to 1990, the Soviet Army conducted a global topographic mapping program, creating large-scale maps for much of the world that included a diversity of detail that would have supported a full range of military planning. For big cities like New York, DC, and London to towns like Pontiac, MI and Galveston, TX, the Soviets gathered enough information to create street-level maps. What they chose to include on these maps can seem obvious like locations of factories and ports, or more surprising, such as building heights, road widths, and bridge capacities. Some of the detail suggests early satellite technology, while other specifics, like detailed depictions of depths and channels around rivers and harbors, could only have been gained by actual Soviet feet on the ground. The Red Atlas includes over 350 extracts from these incredible Cold War maps, exploring their provenance and cartographic techniques as well as what they can tell us about their makers and the Soviet initiatives that were going on all around us. A fantastic historical document of an era that sometimes seems less distant, The Red Atlas offers an uncanny view of the world through the eyes of Soviet strategists and spies.

Religious practices in the Japanese mountains
Kniha uvažuje o japonských horách jako o místech náboženských úkonů. Autorka čtenáři nabízí pohled na historický i současný stav náboženských praktik, pričemž nezanedbává ekonomický aspekt jejich vývoje. První tři kapitoly, věnované historickému vývoji náboženských praktik v horské oblasti Tatejama, odhalují souvislost mezi horami a představami o posmrtném životě v Japonsku. Příklad poutnického místa Tatejama, populárního v období Edo, pomáhá představit si jakým způsobem fungovalo v tomto období poutnické místo a náboženský kult. Autorka přitom poukazuje na ekonomickou stránku provozu poutnického místa. Terénní výzkum a účast na náboženských praktikách v horských oblastech Tatejama a Dewa Sanzan umožnil autorce sledovat jejich současný stav. Získaný výzkumný materiál poodhaluje například úlohu konceptu kulturního dědictví v úsilí o udržování náboženských praktik v současnosti. Tato část poskytuje zajímavý pohled na to, jak se poskytovatelé náboženských praktik a jejich účastníci přizpůsobují novodobým podmínkám. Novodobým asketickým úkonům probíhajícím ve vodopádech je věnovaná poslední kapitola. Přesto, že jsou považované za marginální praktiky, komplexnost kvalit, se kterými jsou spojované, je příkladem kreativity v úsilí o jejich udržení.
