Drawn Across Borders
A collection of vivid and powerful stories drawn on the front lines of migration by award-winning artist George Butler.
For thousands of years humans have moved around the world, to seek a better life, to flee disaster or to escape war. Migration is a fact of life - but it is hugely misunderstood. In striking and intimate illustrations, award-winning artist George Butler introduces us to the people behind the headlines. Drawings made on front lines, in refugee camps and on the move vividly capture stories of leaving home, travelling into the unknown and trying to make a new life. These powerful portraits of migration are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need to seek safety and a better life. A stunning, illuminating and sensitive look at stories that deserve to be told.
What White People Can Do Next
We need to talk about racial injustice in a different way: one that builds on the revolutionary ideas of the past and forges new connections.
In this incisive, radical and practical essay, Emma Dabiri - acclaimed author of Don't Touch My Hair - draws on years of research and personal experience to challenge us to create meaningful, lasting change.
'Impactful . . . Emma expertly outlines how the idea of race was constructed to bolster capitalism and explains how, in a divided world, unity and coalition are needed to create a future that works for everyone' Cosmopolitan
Sociální spravedlnost v éře globalizace
Globální interakce se staly nedílnou součástí našeho života. Svět je propojen technologiemi, institucemi, světovým kapitálem, dochází k propojování a míšení kultur a společností. To vše vyžaduje nové uvažování a zamyšlení se nad otázkami spravedlnosti, které by již neměly být řešeny pouze na úrovni národních států. Je vůbec možná globální spravedlnost? A pokud snad ano, jak nastavit takové normy spravedlnosti? Odpovědi na tyto otázky nabízí kritická teorie společnosti, která reaguje na sociální, kulturní, ekonomické, politické a civilizační problémy současného globalizovaného světa.
Kniha nabízí výklad kritické teorie Nancy Fraserové a Axela Honnetha a pokouší se reagovat na současnou problematiku spravedlnosti v evropském a českém kontextu. Autorka vedle uceleného výkladu teorií dvou z nevýznamnějších představitelů kritické teorie vztahuje jejich teorie do globálního kontextu a aplikuje revidovanou teorii na problematiku spravedlnosti péče, která je podstatnou součástí správného a prosperujícího fungování všech společností.
The Music of Time
Though we might not realise it, our collective memory of the twentieth century was defined by the poets who lived and wrote in it. At every significant turning point we find them, pen in hand, fingers poised at the typewriter, ready to distil the essence of the moment, from the muddy wastes of the Western front to the vast reckoning that came with the end of empire.
This is the first and only history of twentieth century poetry, by the acclaimed poet, author and academic John Burnside. Bringing together poets from times and places as diverse as Tsarist Russia, 1960's America and Ireland at the height of the Troubles, The Music of Time reveals how poets engaged with and shaped the most important issues of their times - and were in their turn affected by their context and dialogue with each other. This is a major work of scholarship, that on every page bears witness to the transformative beauty and power of poetry.
Brandsplaining
Girlboss. Wonder woman. Perfect mother. Feminist go-getter. If you thought misogynist marketing ended with #MeToo, think again.
'It's high time we expose and remedy the pseudo-feminist marketing malarkey holding women back under the guise of empowerment' Amanda Montell, author of Wordslut
________________
Brands profit by telling women who they are and how to be.
Now they've discovered feminism and are hell bent on selling 'fempowerment' back to us. But behind the go-girl slogans and the viral hash-tags has anything really changed?
In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts expose the monumental gap that exists between the women that appear in the media around us and the women we really are. Their research reveals how our experiences, wants and needs - in all forms - are ignored and misrepresented by an industry that fails to understand us.
They propose a radical solution to resolve this once and for all: an innovative framework for marketing that is fresh, exciting, and - at last - sexism-free.

Explaining Humans
How proteins, machine learning and molecular chemistry can teach us about the complexities of human behaviour and the world around us
How do we understand the people around us? How do we recognise people's motivations, their behaviour, or even their facial expressions? And, when do we learn the social cues that dictate human behaviour?
Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of eight, Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her and the way people worked. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science.
Through a set of scientific principles, this book examines life's everyday interactions including:
- Decisions and the route we take to make them;
- Conflict and how we can avoid it;
- Relationships and how we establish them;
- Etiquette and how we conform to it.
Explaining Humans is an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in. Camilla's unique perspective of the world, in turn, tells us so much about ourselves - about who we are and why we do it - and is a fascinating guide on how to lead a more connected, happier life.
Black Skin, White Masks
'This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism' Angela Davis
'Fanon is our contemporary ... In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism' Deborah Levy
Frantz Fanon's urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.
'So hard to put down ... a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair' The New York Times Book Review
Sociální a antisociální pudy v člověku
Člověk je bytostí nejen sociální, ale i antisociální. Antisociálnost souvisí s lidským myšlením a je spojena se současnou epochou. K jejímu překonání je nutná svoboda myšlení a duchovní věda. Sociálnost je třeba vědomě rozvíjet – Rudolf Steiner zde k tomu uvádí dvě důležitá cvičení. Vědomé utváření sociálních impulzů je cestou následování Krista.
Causal Inference
An accessible, contemporary introduction to the methods for determining cause and effect in the social sciences
Causal inference encompasses the tools that allow social scientists to determine what causes what. In a messy world, causal inference is what helps establish the causes and effects of the actions being studied-for example, the impact (or lack thereof) of increases in the minimum wage on employment, the effects of early childhood education on incarceration later in life, or the influence on economic growth of introducing malaria nets in developing regions. Scott Cunningham introduces students and practitioners to the methods necessary to arrive at meaningful answers to the questions of causation, using a range of modeling techniques and coding instructions for both the R and the Stata programming languages.
This Is Not Normal: The Politics of Everyday Expectations
This sharp and engaging book by leading governmental scholar Cass R. Sunstein examines dramatically shifting understandings of what's normal-and how those shifts account for the feminist movement, the civil rights movement, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the founding itself, political correctness, the rise of gun rights, the response to COVID-19, and changing understandings of liberty. Prevailing norms include the principle of equal dignity, the idea of not treating the press as an enemy of the people, and the social unacceptability of open expressions of racial discrimination. But norms can turn upside-down in a hurry. What people tolerate, and what they abhor, depends on what else they are seeing. Exploring Nazism, #MeToo, the work of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, constitutional amendments, pandemics, and the influence of Ayn Rand, Sunstein reveals how norms change, and ultimately determine the shape of society and government in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere.

Men Who Hate Women
The extremism nobody talks about
And how it affects us all
'Laura Bates does so much of the dispiriting, heavy lifting in 21st century feminism. She trudges through it like a boss, and puts out books that perfectly describe growing problems, and possible solutions. She's a proper hero at the coal mouth.' Caitlin Moran
'Laura Bates has done it again. From bantz to outright brutality, she exposes the landscape of misogyny. Passionate and forensic, Bates produces a powerful feminist clarion call. The world needs to take notice. Things must change.' Anita Anand
'Fascinating, mind-blowing and deeply intelligent book that should be recommend reading for every person on our planet.' Scarlett Curtis
'In Men Who Hate Women, Laura Bates offers the alternative red pill to those who favour love, logic and humanity over debilitating hate.' Shami Chakrabarti
'A book of courage and tenacity.' Robin Ince
'This is how change is made: by looking at uncomfortable things directly in the eye and not turning away. This book is a rallying cry to end suffering, for both women AND men.' Emma Gannon
'Men Who Hate Women has the power to spark social change.' Sunday Times
Imagine a world in which a vast network of incels and other misogynists are able to operate, virtually undetected. These extremists commit deliberate terrorist acts against women. Vulnerable teenage boys are groomed and radicalised.
You don't have to imagine that world. You already live in it. Perhaps you didn't know, because we don't like to talk about it. But it's time we start.
In this urgent and groundbreaking book, Laura Bates, bestselling author and founder of The Everyday Sexism Project, goes undercover to expose vast misogynist networks and communities. It's a deep dive into the worldwide extremism nobody talks about.
Interviews with former members of these groups and the people fighting against them gives unique insights on how this movement operates. Ideas are spread from the darkest corners of the internet - via trolls, media and celebrities - to schools, workplaces and the corridors of power, becoming a part of our collective consciousness.

Wayward Lives Beautiful Experiments
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE 2020
At the dawn of the twentieth century, black women in the US were carving out new ways of living. The first generations born after emancipation, their struggle was to live as if they really were free.
These women refused to labour like slaves. Wrestling with the question of freedom, they invented forms of love and solidarity outside convention and law. These were the pioneers of free love, common-law and transient marriages, queer identities, and single motherhood - all deemed scandalous, even pathological, at the dawn of the twentieth century, though they set the pattern for the world to come.
In Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, Saidiya Hartman deploys both radical scholarship and profound literary intelligence to examine the transformation of intimate life that they instigated. With visionary intensity, she conjures their worlds, their dilemmas, their defiant brilliance.
A világ, amiben élünk
Nógrádi György, az ismert biztonság- és védelempolitikai szakértő – a 40 év alatt a Föld körül, a Szerencsénk volt, túléltük, a Városligettől Zanzibárig és az Érdemes érdekes korban élni című sikerkönyvek szerzője – legújabb művében tovább sorolja azokat a sokszor humoros történeteket, amelyek vele vagy barátaival és ismerőseivel estek meg. 2020-ban a koronavírus-járvány következtében sok minden megváltozott az életünkben. Hiányoznak a megszokott beszélgetések, a rokonok, a barátok, a társas összejövetelek, a külföldi utazások – de itt maradtak velünk hűséges társaink, az emlékek. Az otthonmaradás idején különösen jólesik visszagondolni az átélt kalandokra, a kellemes nyaralásokra a homokos tengerparton vagy a magas hegyekben, a hosszú hajóutakra vagy a rövid városnézésekre, és álmodozni arról, mi lesz majd a következő úti cél, ha újra kinyílik a világ.
A szerző nemcsak sztorizik, hanem áttekinti azokat az esményeket is 2020-ból, amelyek formálták a nemzetközi politikát. Emlékezetünkbe idézi a koronavírus-járvány néhány hatását, többek között az elnapolt CDU-kongresszust, a zűrös amerikai elnökválasztás fordulatait. A válogatás természetesen szubjektív, de segít eligazodni ebben a sokismeretlenes, kifordult világban.

Konspirační teorie
Quassim Cassam je profesorem filosofie na University of Warwick; předtím učil v Cambridge, na University College London, a téměř dvacet let v Oxfordu. Původně se věnoval tématům z metafyziky, filosofie mysli a epistemologie. Ve své prvotině Self and World (1997) dokazoval, že vědomí sebe sama coby tělesa ve světě jiných těles je nutnou součástí zkušenosti já jakožto subjektu. V monografii Self-Knowledge for Humans (2014) ukázal, že tradiční modely sebevědomí neberou v úvahu iracionální postoje, jimž lidé podléhají. Společně s Johnem Campbellem napsali knihu Berkeley's Puzzle. What Does Experience Teach Us? (2014), v níž každý z nich hájí odlišnou teorii smyslové zkušenosti: Campbell "relacionismus", tedy tezi, že zkušenost je vztah mezi subjektem a objektem, nezávislým na mysli, zatímco Cassam "reprezentacionalismus", tedy názor, že smyslová zkušenost reprezentuje své předměty jako nezávislé na mysli. Nověji se Cassam zabývá aplikovanou epistemologií, zvláště epistemickými neřestmi, postpravdou a konspiračními teoriemi. Ve Vices of the Mind. From the Intellectual to the Political (2019) vysvětluje a klasifikuje epistemické neřesti, jako jsou úzkoprsost, intelektuální arogance, zbožná přání a předsudky, čili povahové rysy a postoje, které brání poznávání a škodící mu.V Konspiračních teoriích (Conspiracy Theories, 2019) rigorózně a přitom srozumitelně objasňuje, jaká je povaha těchto teorií, proč jsou tak populární a v čem tkví příčiny jejich škodlivosti.
