Changing World Order
From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history's most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we've experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before.
A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn't encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world's three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realisation sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years.
In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - putting into perspective the 'Big Cycle' that has driven the successes and failures of all the world's major countries throughout history.
Dalio reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what's ahead
Lacná kniha Hévíz 2090 (-90%)
Hévíz 2090: romanca s nádychom utópie a sci-fi. Po úspešných knihách pre mládež Keď sa pes smeje a Venussha (Ťažký týždeň) autor napísal román výsostne pre dospelých. Sme v láske slobodní, sami sebou? Prejavia sa civilizačné zmeny aj na milostných vzťahoch? Juraj Šebesta na to odpovedá
s jemu vlastným humorom a otvorenosťou.
Ľúbostné príbehy sú zasadené prevažne do známeho kúpeľného mesta a najmä do budúcnosti; ich spoločenské pozadie však upomína na minulosť, aj tú vzdialenejšiu. Maďarom i Slovákom sa mimoriadne darí, ich vzťahy nikdy neboli lepšie. Svojou tolerantnosťou sú vzorom celej Európe.
Autor ulieta s úsmevom, ale možno aj s vierou a nádejou.

Reflections: contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa
Reflections: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa brings together an extraordinary collection of work from the British Museum for the first time. The contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa is rich and vibrant. Whether living in their countries of birth or in diaspora, the featured artists are part of the globalised world of art. Here we see artists responding to and making work about their present, histories, traditions and cultures, reflecting on a part of the world that has experienced extraordinary change in living memory.
The British Museum has been acquiring the work of Middle Eastern and North African artists since the 1980s, and the collection - principally works on paper - is one of the most extensive in the public sphere. Collected within the context of a museum of history, the works offer insights into the nature of civil societies, the complex politics of the region, and cultural traditions in their broadest sense, from the relationship with Islamic art, to the deep engagement with literature.
The introduction to the book by curator Venetia Porter explores the history of the collection and the works included. The essential framework for understanding the politics and context within which the artists are working is provided by Charles Tripp's essay. The works are grouped into seven chapters, each beginning with a short introduction. The authors explore the selection within themes such as faith, abstraction and the female gaze.

Red, White & Royal Blue
What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?
Alex Claremont-Diaz is handsome, charismatic, a genius - pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House ever since his mother first became President of the United States. There's only one problem. When the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an altercation between Alex and Prince Henry, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.
Heads of family and state devise a plan for damage control: stage a truce. But what begins as a fake, Instagrammable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon they are hurtling into a secret romance that could derail the presidential campaign and upend two nations.
'Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second.' - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

Ultra. Proč je noc černá. Why The Night is Black
Kniha skutečných příběhů „posledních“ nejvýznamnějších kanibalských Papuánských náčelníků a autentický záznam komunikace při symbolickém „Posledním Prvním Kontaktu“.
Po tisíciletí byly takového příběhy předávány z generace na generaci pouze verbálně. Tato kniha /bohatě doplněných černobílými fotografiemi/ je první zaznamenaný materiál přepsaných autentických nahrávek rozhovorů s posledními přírodními lidmi doby kamenné předtím, než je navždy změní globalizace. Všichni mluví v první osobě a popisují své skutečné zážitky, neboť v džungli se nerozlišuje (západním úhlem pohledu) přirozené od nadpřirozeného. Všechno je reálné.
Až dosud bývaly „první kontakty“ věcí moci, násilí, zvětšování teritorií a území vlivu, /ale naše země nikdy nekolonizovala jiné/ a o dnes již zaniklých animistických kulturách se zachovala svědectví prospektorů, misionářů, vojáků a antropologů, aniž domorodci vyprávějí sami o sobě. První kontakt s posledními přírodními národy až dosud nikdy neučinili umělci, přestože jde o "Setkání kultur"....
Jedná se rozšířenou verzi knihy Proč je noc černá, jejíž první vydání roku 2005 získalo cenu Magnesia Litera za objev roku.
A book of true stories told by the ‘last’ prominent cannibal Papuan tribal chiefs and the authentic record of communication during the symbolic ‘Final First Contact’.
For thousands of years, stories like these have been part of the tribes’ oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation. This book /richly supplemented with black and white photographs/ is the first ever transcription of authentic recorded interviews, conducted with the final indigenous tribespeople before their primeval culture is forever changed by globalisation. The first-person accounts describe the tribesmen’s true stories, at least from their point of view: for them, there is no distinction between the natural and the supernatural – everything is equally real.
Until now, ‘first contacts’ have been a matter of power, violence, the expansion of territories and spheres of influence /but our country has never colonized others/ and there are testimonies of prospectors, missionaries, soldiers, and anthropologists about the now extinct animist cultures, without the natives telling their own stories. The first contact with the last natural nations had never previously been made by artists, despite the fact that it was a Meeting of Cultures…
This is an expanded version of the book Why the Night is Black, the first edition of which won the 2005 Magnesia Litera Award for Discovery of the Year.
