What is Huncút? - (Anglicky)
At the beginning of the 20th century, approximately one in four Slovaks lived in the United States, mainly in the industrial areas of the Northeast. The book is a collection of stories about immigrants from Slovakia in the US and their efforts to establish their own towns.
What is Huncút? explores the stories of these remarkable settlements through historical reports while uncovering the background of the most significant wave of immigration from present-day Slovakia to the United States.
The author, Milan Čupka, was inspired by his own family history – namely his great-grandfather's mysterious trip to Pittsburgh in 1907, which led to the departure of other relatives who are now scattered from Maryland, through Pennsylvania and Colorado, to Nevada. The author was driven by a desire to understand when Slovaks began emigrating to the US, what they experienced there, and what traces remained after this huge wave of emigration.
You will learn:
• who the first Slovaks in the US were,
• how difficult the journey by ship was in the 19th century,
• why most of them settled in industrial cities, but some decided to go South and West to pursue their dreams of becoming settlers.
What is Huncút? will give you a new perspective on your Slovak roots.
Lazarus Man
'An engrossing read' Mail on Sunday'An atmospheric novel with the trappings of crime fiction' Spectator'Both a hymn to community, and a love letter to the city' The i paperIn this electrifying novel, Richard Price, the author of Clockers and a writer on The Wire, gives us razor-sharp anatomy of an ever-changing Harlem. Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, crushing the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city's rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighbourhood descends into chaos. At day's end, six bodies are recovered, and many more tenants are still missing. Anthony Carter--whose miraculous survival, after being buried for days beneath tons of brick and stone, transforms him into a man with a message and a passionate sense of mission. Felix Pearl--a young transplant to the city, whose photography and film work that day provokes in this previously unformed soul a sharp sense of personal destiny. Royal Davis--owner of a failing Harlem funeral home, whose desperate trolling of the scene for potential "customers" triggers a quest to find another path in life. And Mary Roe--a veteran city detective who, driven in part by her own family's brutal history, becomes obsessed with finding Christopher Diaz, one of the building's missing. Powerful and gripping, Lazarus Man depicts intertwining portraits of a group of compelling characters whose lives are permanently impacted by the disaster, from one of the greatest chroniclers of life in urban America.

'Eli Cranor is that rare writer who can make you gasp, cry and cheer often in the same paragraph' S. A. COSBYSpecial Agent Rae Johnson grew up on football fields alongside her father, a national-championship-winning coach. Which is exactly why she was chosen to investigate the illicit money flowing into the University of Central Mississippi's football program. But her case takes a dire turn when UCM's star quarterback is flung off a college bar's roof and lands on a bag full of money. Hoping to turn a routine fraud case into a career-defining bust, Rae ingratiates herself with the fans, coaches, players, and politicians who make up the university's complex social hierarchy. With rumors of corruption rustling through the kudzu vines, Rae soon realizes there's more to the game than what she'd learned as a child. And in order to win, she'll have to put all her father's lessons to the ultimate test.

Within this collection we learn of love in its many and varied forms; love between two people, between parents and children and between friends and communities. From selkies and fairies to witches, ghosts and even the Devil, these ancient Celtic myths are entwined with Scottish folk tales to bring to life experiences of doomed love, cursed love and love foretold by dreams. These tales have been carefully chosen and retold by Orkney storyteller Tom Muir and lovingly given form through the artwork of Hester Aspland.

Political Meritocracy in the 21st Century
Political meritocrats believe political power should be allocated according to virtue and competence. It is an old idea, going back at least to Plato. But what is old is new again, as several political philosophers have recently proposed and defended novel articulations of this ancient idea. The purpose of this short monograph is to offer a critical overview of this literature. I cover three schools of thought. I first look at epistocracy, a form of government identical to modern liberal democracies, except voting power is allocated to citizens according to competence. I then turn to Confucian meritocracy, where more blatantly nondemocratic forms of political meritocracy are defended. I finally look at democratic meritocracy, which is the idea that elections either do or could (if they were appropriately reformed) select virtuous and competent leaders. I end by offering reasons to think the entire enterprise of political meritocracy rests on a mistake.
