The Hedgehog And The Fox
The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.
For Isaiah Berlin, there is a fundamental distinction in mankind: those who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things - foxes - and those who relate everything to a central all-embracing system - hedgehogs. It can be applied to the greatest creative minds: Dante, Ibsen and Proust are hedgehogs, while Shakespeare, Aristotle and Joyce are foxes.
Yet when Berlin reaches the case of Tolstoy, he finds a fox by nature, but a hedgehog by conviction; a duality which holds the key to understanding Tolstoy's work, illuminating a paradox of his philosophy of history and showing why he was frequently misunderstood by his contemporaries and critics.

Architects of Terror
A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR
From the preeminent historian of 20th century Spain Paul Preston, Architects of Terror is a new history of how paranoia, conspiracy and anti-Semitism was used to justify the military coup of 1936 and enabled the construction of a dictatorship built on violence and persecution.
It is the previously untold story of how antisemitic beliefs were weaponised to justify and propagate the Franco overthrow of liberal Spain.
The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent 'Jewish- Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy'. Despite the fact that Spain had only a tiny minority of Jews and Freemasons, Franco and his inner circle were ardent believers in this fabricated conspiracy and spread the notion that the survival of Catholic Spain, as well, of course, of the establishment ' s economic interests, required the total annihilation of Jews and Freemasons.
Architects of Terror is the story of how fake news, mendacity, corruption and nostalgia for lost empire generated violence and hatred. The book presents vivid portraits of the key ideologues who propagated the myth of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy and of the military figures who implemented the atrocities that it justified. Among the convictions shared by these individuals was their belief in the idea that Freemasonry was responsible for Spain ' s loss of empire and in the factual veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious fiction about the global domination of the Jews.
This is a history that reverberates in our own political moment

Friendly Fire
When Logan Wilde takes a job as a sheriff in a small Idaho town, he expects a quiet, peaceful life that will bore him to tears...until he walks through the door of Julia Cooper's cafe. Get the book from NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart that one reader called “such a powerful read.” (Frugal Girl, Reviewer)
– "This one had it all--surprise, suspense, trauma and romance. It really kept your attention from beginning to end.” Kindle Customer
–“From the realistic flashback scenes to the awkward beginning and resistance of a budding relationship. Lorhainne Eckhart has crafted another book that will keep you turning the pages.” ????? Frugal Girl
In FRIENDLY FIRE, after a roadside bomb ends his career in the marines, Logan Wilde struggles to put his life back together, taking a job as a sheriff in a small Idaho town. He expects a quiet, peaceful life that will bore him to tears. Until he walks through the door of Julia Cooper’s cafe.
From the moment the new sheriff walks into Julia’s cafe, she fights the attraction from the new sheriff, a man she recognizes is ex-military and has baggage that comes along with it. Even though she’s never felt this way for another man, Julia isn’t willing to take a chance with Logan. No she’s convinced herself she needs stability, someone average, someone who has never handled a gun. Except when her daughter disappears its Logan who’s there for her, it’s Logan she turns to, and Logan who turns the town upside down searching for her.
But what Logan realizes is the disappearance of her daughter may not be as it seems, and while Julia waits on the sidelines she wonders if she’ll ever be able to trust again and open her heart and take a chance on love.

Viselec Aj Wej-wej a jeho uvěznění
Kolik Číňanů znáte jménem? Dva? Tři? Aj Wej-wej bude s velkou pravděpodobností jedním z nich. V říjnu 2010 vystavil v londýnské galerii Tate Modern instalaci nazvanou Slunečnicová semínka. V dubnu 2011 byl uvězněn a déle než dva měsíce strávil v nelidských podmínkách. Nejslavnější žijící čínský umělec a aktivista je osobností s mimořádným univerzálním talentem, odvahou a lidskou integritou. Je schopen navrhnout dům, natočit film, psát si každý den internetový blog, rozbít vázu z dynastie Chan s nevyčíslitelnou historickou hodnotou či pomáhat obětem zemětřesení. Od začátku své umělecké dráhy otevřeně vystupuje proti nejmocnějšímu totalitnímu režimu současnosti. Činí tak nejen slovy, ale i svou tvorbou – je autorem mnohých z nejkrásnějších a nejzáhadnějších uměleckých děl naší doby, děl, která oslovila miliony lidí po celém světě. Když byl Aj Wejwej propuštěn z nezákonné vazby, přiletěl za ním do Pekingu spisovatel a novinář Barnaby Martin. Zajímal se o jeho uvěznění a zároveň se chtěl dozvědět více o tom, co se vlastně děje v zákulisí nejvyšších pater čínské komunistické strany. Rozhovory obou mužů a Martinovy rozsáhlé osobní zkušenosti s Čínou daly vzniknout této knize. Viselec je sondou do Ajova života, umění i aktivistických postojů, zároveň jde ovšem i o úvahu nad kreativním procesem a vývojem umění v moderní Číně. Barvitě vypráví o dětství stráveném v zemljance na poušti Gobi, dospívání během kulturní revoluce i o tom, co chce svými díly sdělit. Potvrzuje se zde, že Aj není namyšleným umělcem, kterému jde pouze o vystavování svých děl v západních institucích zvučných jmen. Nepatří mezi ty, kteří se kvůli slávě otočí zády k vlastní zemi. Přináší svědectví o stále silnějším čínském boji za demokracii a otevřenou společnost. Je to kniha o odvaze a naději v místech, kde svoboda a spravedlnost stále chybí.

Konspirační teorie
Zábavná kniha, v níž se smysl pro humor pojí s varováním před zhoubným účinkem konspiračních teorií. Od autora bestselleru Dějiny lidských průserů aneb Co všechno jsme podělali.
Ať už jde o satanskou paniku nebo antivaxerské hnutí, přistání na Měsíci nebo aféru Pizzagate, my lidé jsme odjakživa měli ve zvyku věřit, že nám mocní lžou (a abychom si nekřivdili, občas tomu tak skutečně je). Ačkoli je ale zábava přihlásit se do skupinového chatu a potlachat si tam o chemtrails, události nedávných let nám ukázaly, že některé z těchto teorií si začaly žít vlastním životem – a že naše urputná honba za pravdou může ve skutečnosti páchat škody.
Tom Phillips a Jonn Elledge nás berou na fascinující, pronikavé a mnohdy vtipné putování světem starých a nových konspiračních teorií a pokoušejí se zodpovědět klíčovou otázku naší doby: Jak se odhlásit z internetových fór, kde se probírá QAnon, a začít opět věřit tvrdým důkazům?

Before Your Memory Fades
The third novel in the international bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, following four new customers in a cafe where customers can travel back in time.
On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that's not all. Like the charming Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time.
From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tales from the Cafe comes another heartfelt story of lost souls hoping to take advantage of the cafe's time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces, readers will also be introduced to:
A daughter who begrudges her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned
A comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams
A younger sister whose grief has become all-consuming
A young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late
Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot and featuring signature heart-warming characters and wistful storytelling, in Before Your Memory Fades, Toshikazu Kawaguchi once again asks: who would you meet if you could travel through time?

The Power of Regret : How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward
'No regrets.' You've heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That's nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They're a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.
In The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own World Regret Survey - which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries - he identifies the four core regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues, operate as a 'photographic negative' of the good life. By understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based, three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets in a positive force for working smarter and living better.
With Pink's signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways, captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.
The Illustrator
For all those who thought digital heralded the end of an era: illustration is alive and kicking, and new tools have given the art renewed vigor and the illustrator greater stamina. Steven Hellerand Julius Wiedemannpresent a snapshot of “the new golden age of illustration,” rounding up 100 of the most talented artists around the world. We dare you to pick your favorites.
For the last ten years, Steven Heller and Julius Wiedemannhave traced the latest developments in illustration across the globe—and for all those who thought digital heralded the end of an era, they’re here to set the record straight.
There were extraordinary eras before mass media changed our viewing habits, back in the day when illustration was the most primary means of illuminating the word on paper, to today when we get our words and images on screens as small as a watch face. And in this environment, today’s designers and artists are holding their own brilliantly. Illustration is more free and varied than ever, and it is ubiquitous in all kinds of media from paper to screen, books, packages, clothing, cars, and restaurants.
This book celebrates the sheer quality, diversity, intensity, comedy, vivacity, and exceptionality of the work being created by illustrators right now. From veteran artists like Brad Holland, whose oblique and metaphorical paintings for the New York Times’ op-ed section revolutionized illustrative content in the 1970s, to up-and-coming stars like Robin Eisenberg, her pastel-skinned alien belles cruising in spaceships on indie-rock album covers, the 100 artists in this collection are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, but they represent a compelling snapshot of the styles, techniques, and use of color by artists across the world. We dare you to pick your favorites.
Includes:
an introduction and foreword by editors Julius Wiedemann and Steven Heller
600 pagesof brilliantly reproduced works
a biography for each artistdetailing their background, philosophy, motivations, and contact details
an index of illustration agencies

Retirement Planning
RETIREMENT PLANNING For most people, retirement is perhaps one of the most critical phases of their lives. Because of its importance, it needs to be carefully planned for, to make it possible for the retiree to enjoy his golden years in peace and comfort. For this to be achieved, a percentage of one's income is set aside or saved to gain financial freedom in retirement thus making the need for gainful employment optional rather than necessary. But it's not as easy as it sounds. For many people, whether employed or in self-employment, the goal of having a comfortable retirement, is an incredibly elaborate and extensive process that needs careful and focused planning and years of patience and persistence.
Interestingly, the process of planning and managing retirement finances does not end when one retires. It’s an ongoing responsibility that is carried on well into the retiree's sunset years. Many people attempt to make their retirement plans, but only a small percentage manage to come up with a plan that can sustain them through retirement. The more significant majority, try it with devastating consequences, ultimately making them lead difficult, miserable lives full of financial challenges. Whereas it's good to be actively involved in the planning of all matters that affect your financial future, it's wiser to engage the services of an ethical and professional financial adviser to take care of your retirement planning. This is true irrespective of one's social, economic or educational background.
