Toxická produktivita


„Vstávaj a makaj!“ „Bez práce nie sú koláče.“ „Oddýchneš si až v hrobe!“ „Práca šľachtí!“ „Komu sa nelení, tomu sa zelení.“ Spoločnosť nás už desaťročia tlačí k neustálemu výkonu – aby sme robili viac, dosahovali viac, boli viac. Za to nám sľubuje úspech, naplnenie, šťastie. No tento nekončiaci hon za cieľmi si často vyberá daň na našom duševnom a fyzickom zdraví. Sme naozaj šťastnejší, keď toho viac urobíme? A bude to niekedy stačiť? Psychoterapeutka Israa Nasir odhaľuje nebezpečný mýtus, že naša hodnota priamo úmerne rastie s množstvom vykonanej práce. Venuje sa témam ako sebahodnota, hanba, vyhorenie či perfekcionizmus – javom, ktoré nás ženú k výkonom bez dlhodobého naplnenia. Kniha ponúka výskumami podložené poznatky, osobné príbehy a praktické rady ako: • rozpoznať vzorce spojené s toxickými návykmi, • vytvoriť si zdravší vzťah k úspechu, • a vypestovať si udržateľné návyky, vedúce k zmysluplným cieľom. Je čas vymaniť sa z pasce toxickej produktivity a získať späť svoj čas, energiu a radosť zo života. Táto kniha tak môže byť vaším dobrým sprievodcom na ceste k hlbšiemu sebapoznaniu. RECENZIE/ CITÁTY: „Produktivita nie je otázkou organizácie času, ale zvládania emócií.“ – Israa Nasir „Túto knihu som napísala, aby som odhalila skryté korene kultúry neustáleho zhonu a zbúrala nebezpečný mýtus, že „robiť viac znamená byť hodnotnejším.“ – Israa Nasir „Israa Nasir vo svojej knihe spája psychológiu s praktickými návodmi a ukazuje, ako môžeme zmeniť svoj pohľad na produktivitu — aby nás nevyčerpávala, ale posilňovala.“ – Cal Newport, autor bestsellerov ako Pomalá produktivita či Hlboká práca

Zákon o ochrane svedka - Komentár


Nový zákon o ochrane svedka s účinnosťou od 1. mája 2025 nahradil starý zákon o ochrane svedka. Jeho prijatie si vyžiadali postupne sa meniace spoločenské vzťahy, ktoré priniesli nové závažné formy trestnej činnosti, pri ktorých je potrebné využiť inštitúty ochrany svedka. Cieľom nového zákona o ochrane svedka je prispôsobiť poskytovanie ochrany a pomoci súčasným podmienkam, skvalitniť zákonnú úpravu v tejto oblasti a zjednodušiť administratívny, ako aj schvaľovací proces poskytovania ochrany a pomoci. Nový zákon o ochrane svedka rozširuje okruh trestných činov, pri ktorých je možné vykonávať ochranu svedka, vykonávanie „neodkladných opatrení“ nahrádza predbežným vykonávaním programu ochrany svedka a upúšťa od tzv. „ochrannej dohody“, ktorú nahrádza súhlasom ohrozeného svedka. Zmeny tiež nastali v oblasti medzinárodnej spolupráce pri poskytovaní ochrany svedka. Komentár k zákonu o ochrane svedka predstavuje výklad príslušných ustanovení tohto zákona v širších súvislostiach, pričom je doplnený o relevantnú judikatúru k danému ustanoveniu. Cieľom komentára nebolo a ani nemohlo byť podrobne predstaviť metódy a formy poskytovania ochrany a pomoci ohrozenému a chránenému svedkovi, pretože tie sú upravené internými predpismi ministerstva vnútra a tvoria utajované skutočnosti podľa zákona o ochrane utajovaných skutočností.

A Theology of Authority


Is authority reserved for those with a specific calling to leadership? Who holds power in the church? Does authority have limits? Are teaching and preaching the most important practices of authority?Our understanding--and misunderstanding--of authority has significant implications for our individual and corporate flourishing. In A Theology of Authority, Christa McKirland challenges our assumptions about authority, power, and leadership. With a focus on low-church traditions, she examines authority through the lens of analytic philosophy and biblical theology to offer a theological definition of authority. She also tackles questions related to divine and human authority, Scripture, and practices typically related to ordination: preaching, teaching, serving communion, baptizing, church discipline, and vision casting.A Theology of Authority expands our understanding of authority, recognizing the Spirit''s enablement of each member to fulfill their calling to spiritual maturity. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of authority and power and how we relate to one another as siblings in Christ.

V objetí zrady 1: Zlín v časech okupace a převratů


První svazek publikace V objetí zrady se soustředí na události z doby nacistické a komunistické diktatury, včetně méně prozkoumaného poválečného období let 1945–1948. Kniha nabízí detailní a demytizující pohled na dění ve Zlíně a okolí, přičemž na konkrétních příkladech ukazuje, že ne každý, kdo se po válce prezentoval jako vlastenec, jím skutečně byl. Naopak odhaluje příběhy zrádců a kolaborantů, kteří sledovali pouze vlastní prospěch bez ohledu na režim. Autoři čerpali z dosud nezpracovaných policejních, četnických a vyšetřovacích spisů a přinášejí nové poznatky. Kniha rovněž popisuje poválečné převzetí Baťových závodů a vedení města Zlína komunisty. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována temné roli zlínského drogisty Vladimíra Hájka a zaměstnance Baťových závodů JUDr. Ivana Holého, kteří jako spolupracovníci zlínského gestapa využívali zradu k budování poválečné kariéry. Kniha je určena čtenářům se zájmem o objektivní zpracování regionálních dějin a tabuizovaných témat moderních československých dějin.

Women in the Ukrainian Underground


Eastern Poland’s inclusion in the Soviet Union through the 1939 Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact initiated the local Ukrainian population’s long and bloody resistance to Soviet rule. Even after the end of the Second World War, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) persisted in their fight for an independent Ukrainian state. The continued confrontations between the Ukrainian underground and the Soviet security service lasted until the late 1950s. While existing scholarship has focussed on the political aspects of this conflict, women’s participation in opposing Sovietization is largely ignored. Women in the Ukrainian Underground foregrounds women’s experience in the resistance movement during the conflict with the Soviet secret service between 1944 and 1954. Olena Petrenko describes various methods and waves of women’s mobilization in the OUN and the UPA, and examines women’s role as agents in the underground struggle. The book also considers female sexuality as an instrument of power and gendered experiences of violence. Petrenko’s examination of archival records challenges stereotypes of female insurgents as bloodthirsty, easily compromised, or unthinking subordinates and considers women’s representation in film and literature. Changes in memorialization practices demonstrate how the perception of women’s activities in the nationalist underground has been shaped by competing historical views – in the USSR, among Ukrainian exiles, in post-Soviet Ukraine, and in Russia. Drawing on both Soviet and underground documents, as well as oral histories, Women in the Ukrainian Underground depicts the fates of the individual women involved in fighting communism.

Thinking Further


The first English-language translation of Vilém Flusser's final series of lectures: the definitive introduction to his methods and ideas in new media theoryIn summer 1991, shortly before his death, Vilém Flusser gave a series of lectures as guest professor at Ruhr University Bochum at the invitation of Friedrich Kittler. Flusser intended for these lectures to be the definitive introduction to his "communicology," the study of human communication and the means by which acquired information is saved, processed, and passed on. In Thinking Further, Aaron Jaffe and Michael F. Miller have curated "fragments" from these lectures – first published in German in 2008 – to present the most exciting and timely parts of Flusser's foundational contributions to what is now known as media studies. These fragments capture Flusser's engagements with a wide range of theories, approaches, and interventions, including ecocriticism, posthumanities, game theory, cybernetics, and translinguistic exchanges. Offering sustained engagements with the ideas of Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Michel Serres, and Jean Baudrillard, Thinking Further models possibilities for thinking through and clarifying the most obscure and obdurate implications of technology and modernity. As they demonstrate Flusser's contextual positionality and antiuniversalism, the writings presented here also underscore the pleasures and the power of his aphoristic style. Focusing less on Flusser-as-philosopher and more on his role as wry sage at the end of history, Thinking Further is a comprehensive but approachable introduction to his boundary-transcending exploration of the possibilities for communication, writing, and the human condition.

The Invention of Order


In The Invention of Order, Don Thomas Deere retraces the colonial origins of spatial organization in the Americas and the Caribbean and its lasting impact on modern structures of knowledge, power, race, gender as well as understandings of global modernity. The coloniality of space dispossessed Indigenous, African, and mixed populations as it constructed new systems of control and movement. Deere demonstrates how these developments manifested, among other forms, in urban grid patterns imposed during the development of Spanish colonial cities as well as totalizing trade routes crisscrossing the Atlantic. Drawing on a range of thinkers including Enrique Dussel, Édouard Glissant, and Sylvia Wynter, Deere reveals how movement - who travels, who settles, and who is excluded - becomes an essential component of control under colonial rule. Against the violence of spatial reordering, Deere outlines how novel forms of resistance and insurgency geographies still take hold, particularly in the Caribbean, where landscapes remain excessive, eruptive, and uncaptured by the order of modernity.

Polarized Families, Polarized Parties


A demonstration of how differing regional ideals of family have shaped party policy and ideological positions throughout the twentieth centuryStruggles to define the soul of America roil the nation's politics. Debates over the roles of gays, lesbians, women, immigrants, racial and religious minorities, and disputes over reproductive and abortion rights serve as rallying points for significant electoral groups and their representatives in government. Although the American family lies at the core of these fierce battles, the alignment of family with social or cultural issues is only a partial picture—a manifestation of the new right's late twentieth-century success in elevating "family values" over family economics. Gwendoline Alphonso makes a significant contribution to the prevailing understanding of party evolution, contemporary political polarization, and the role of the family in American political development by placing family at the center of political and cultural clashes. She demonstrates how regional ideas about family in the twentieth century have continually shaped not only Republican and Democratic policy and ideological positions concerning race and gender but also their ideals concerning the economy and the state. Drawing on extensive data from congressional committee hearings, political party platforms, legislation sponsorship, and demographic data from the Progressive, post-World War II, and late twentieth-century periods in the United States, Polarized Families, Polarized Parties offers an intricate and sophisticated analysis of how deliberations around the ideal family became critical to characterizations of party politics. By revealing the deep historical interconnections between family and the two parties' ideologies and policy preferences, Alphonso reveals that American party development is more than a story of the state and its role in the economy but also, at its core, a debate over the political values of family and the social fabric it embodies.

The Disunited States


Is the breakup of an increasingly polarized America into separate red and blue countries even possibl? here is a growing interest in American secession. In February 2023, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that "We need a national divorce...We need to separate by red states and blue states." Recent movements like Yes California have called for a national divorce along political lines. A 2023 Axios poll shows that 20 percent of Americans favor a national divorce. These trends show a sincere interest in American secession, and they will likely increase in the aftermath of the 2024 Presidential election. Proponents of secession make three arguments: the two sides have irreconcilable differences; secession is a legal right; and smaller political units are better. Through interviews with secessionist advocates in America, Ryan Griffiths explores the case for why Red America and Blue America should split up.But as The Disunited States shows, these arguments are fundamentally incorrect. Secession is the wrong solution to the problem of polarization. Red and Blue America are not neatly sorted and geographically concentrated. Splitting the two parts would require a dangerous unmixing of the population, one that could spiral into violence and state collapse. Drawing on his expertise on secessionism worldwide, he shows how the process has played out internationally-and usually disastrously. Ultimately, this book will disabuse readers of the belief that secession will fix America''s problems. Rather than focus on national divorce as a solution, the better course of action is to seek common ground.

Circumventing the Law


Circumventing the Law probes the rabbinic logic behind the use of loopholes, the legal phenomenon of finding and using gaps within law to achieve otherwise illegal outcomes. The logic of ha'aramah, a subset of rabbinic legal circumventions mostly defined as a tool for private life, underpins both well-known circumventions, such as selling leaven before Passover, and lesser-known mechanisms, such as designating an animal intended for sacrifice "blemished" before birth to allow it to be slaughtered for food instead. Elana Stein Hain traces the development of these loopholes over time, revealing that rabbinic literature does not consistently accept or reject loopholes. Instead, rabbinic Judaism applies categories of evasion (prohibited), avoidance (permitted), and avoision (contested) to loopholes on a case-by-case basis. The intended outcome of a given loophole determines its classification, as does the legal integrity of the circumventive process in question. Yet these understandings of loopholes are not static—instead, rabbinic attitudes toward loopholing change over time. Early works display an objective, performative understanding of the self and of intention, but evolve over time to reflect more subjective and intimate understanding of the self and intention. This evolution redefines what legal integrity means in Jewish legal philosophy. Circumventing the Law brings readers through the Second Temple period to the modern era to see how loopholing has evolved over millennia. With a focus on late antiquity, Stein Hain explores tannaitic literature, the Palestinian Talmud, and contemporaneous Greco-Roman and Persian thought to show that when warranted, Jewish rhetoric and philosophy around understandings of loopholes was a unique phenomenon that relied on changes in understanding the definition of integrity itself, a key finding for scholars of Jewish Studies and of religious and of secular law writ large.
