Killing the Dead
Killing the Dead provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the world's most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteria-the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, John Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of society's inexplicable terrors and anxieties.
In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout history-in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in societies that upend all sense of security, and how the European vampire is just one species in a larger family of predatory supernatural entities that includes the female flying demons of Southeast Asia and the lustful yoginis of India.
Richly illustrated, Killing the Dead provocatively argues that corpse-killing, far from being pathological or unhealthy, served as a therapeutic and largely harmless outlet for fear, hatred, and paranoia that would otherwise result in violence against marginalized groups and individuals.
Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves - and How to Find our Way Back
Often mistakenly labeled as codependency, fawning can present as being more of who someone is: smart, generous,successful, funny, or beautiful, while for others it's about being less: vocal, ethnic, creative, self-assured, or boundaried. Fawning can be visible or invisible, it can take the shape of sex, money, or the perpetual emotional regulationof others but one thing remains constant: it is about finding safety in an unsafe world, often at our own expense.
Written by fawning expert and clinical psychologist Dr. Ingrid Clayton, Fawning will be the first of its kind, shininga light on this under-represented, but extremely important piece of the trauma puzzle. Clayton draws upon bothpersonal and clinical experiences of the trauma response and provides resources and tools for anyone who has lostintrinsic parts of themselves by constantly orienting to safety through self-abandonment. This book is for thosewho want to finally lessen their shame about patterns that haven't served for a long time. It is for doctors, therapists, and all those in the helping professions who need to understand this form and function of how the body seeks tosurvive trauma. This book is for the cycle breakers who don't want to carry unprocessed trauma down to futuregenerations or foster another generation of fawners who aren't entitled to the full spectrum of human emotion,shrinking in the face of what caregivers can tolerate. It is for those who have been told to read all the literature oncodependency and still don't see themselves reflected. Fawning is for anyone who has felt stuck in relationships, longing for meaningful, reciprocal connections and most importantly, a true relationship to Self.
Na prahu nové civilizace
Drahota, ekonomický úpadek, omezování osobních svobod, cenzura, boj s klimatem, zakazování spalovacích motorů, genderismus, ilegální migrace, vyvolávání strachu a agrese, štěpení společnosti – to vše je propojeno stejnými aktéry a jejich motivacemi. Nic z toho se neobjevilo náhodou. Vše je záměrně vyvoláváno a má jednu společnou příčinu: tou je nová ideologie ESG – projekt utopistické společnosti podobný těm, které brutálně otřásly světem ve 20. století. Z mainstreamových médií se o tom nedozvíte.
Náhrada škody způsobené zvířetem
Publikace pojednává o předpokladech vzniku povinnosti nahradit újmu způsobenou zvířetem podle § 2933 až 2935 ObčZ. Nejde ale pouze o ryzí teorii, v knize čtenář nalezne srozumitelná řešení praktických právních problémů spojených s aplikací těchto ustanovení. S ohledem na zjevnou inspiraci účinné právní úpravy německým občanským zákoníkem čerpá kniha především z německé literatury a judikatury, neopomíjí však ani rakouské a švýcarské prameny. Zároveň reflektuje i tuzemskou dogmatiku a rozhodovací praxi Nejvyššího soudu.
Monografie se zaměřuje na zjištění principu přičitatelnosti, na němž se zakládají jednotlivé skutkové podstaty. Dále definuje odpovědné subjekty nebo vymezuje nebezpečnost zvířete, jejíž materializace patří mezi předpoklady vzniku odpovědnosti. Čtenář se také dozví, v jakém rozsahu se škoda nahrazuje, nebo zda lze podle § 2933 ObčZ nahradit újmu způsobenou mikroorganismy. Publikace rovněž rozebírá předpoklady, za kterých se lze odpovědnosti zprostit, a pojednává o okolnostech na straně poškozeného, jež omezují nebo vylučují povinnost odpovědné osoby k náhradě újmy.
Knihu ocení každý, kdo se ve své aplikační praxi setkává nebo může setkat se škodou způsobenou zvířetem.

We the People
On the 250th anniversary of America's founding - a landmark history of the US Constitution for a troubling new era.
The US Constitution is among the oldest constitutions in the world - and one of the most difficult to amend. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments have been proposed since 1789, only twenty-seven have ever been ratified. Tellingly, the Constitution has not been meaningfully amended since 1971. Without amendment, the risk of political violence rises. So does the risk of constitutional change by presidential power.
Leading Harvard historian Jill Lepore captures the stories of generations of ordinary people who have attempted everything from abolishing the Electoral College to guaranteeing environmental rights, hoping to mend their nation. Recounting the history of America through centuries of efforts to realize the promise of the Constitution, we witness how nearly all those bids have failed.
We the People is the sweeping account of a struggle, arguing that the Constitution was never intended to be preserved, but was expected to be gradually altered. At a time when the risk of political violence is all too real, it hints at the prospects for a better, amended America.

Liberalismus, nové vydání
Významný ekonom 20. století Ludwig von Mises celý svůj život zasvětil trpělivému vysvětlování, proč socialismus nefunguje a ani fungovat nemůže, proč zásahy státu a byrokracie přináší horší výsledky než kapitalismus a soukromé podnikání a jak přebujelost státního aparátu vede k totalitě.

Jedině v takovém státu se člověk může cítit skutečně svobodný.

The Psychology of Money
Special deluxe edition of The Psychology of Money with new bonus chapter content from Morgan Housel. Limited edition while supplies last. The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller.
Over 8 million copies sold around the world. The original book from Morgan Housel, the New York Times bestselling author of Same As Ever. As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money – investing, personal finance, and business decisions – is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

The Traitors Circle
When the whole world is lying, someone must tell the truth.
Berlin, 1943. A group of high-society anti-Nazi dissenters meet for a tea party one late summer afternoon. They do not know that, sitting around the table, is someone poised to betray them all to the Gestapo - revealing their secret to the Nazis' most ruthless detective.
They form a circle of unlikely rebels, drawn from the German elite: two countesses, a diplomat, an intelligence officer, an ambassador's widow and a pioneering headmistress. Meeting in the shadows, rescuing Jews or plotting for a future Germany freed from the Führer's rule, what unites them is a shared loathing of the Nazis, a refusal to bow to Hitler and the courage to perform perilous acts of resistance. Or so they believe.
How did a group of brave, principled rebels, who had successfully defied Adolf Hitler for more than a decade, come to fall into such a lethal trap? And who betrayed them?
Undone from within and pursued to near-destruction by one of the Reich's cruellest men, they showed a heroism that raises a question with new urgency for our time: what kind of person does it take to risk everything and stand up to tyranny?

Shadow Cell
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A thrilling first-hand account by husband-and-wife CIA operatives who, against all odds, triumphed in a deadly cat-and-mouse game against a mole within the intelligence agency - an unprecedented insider view of 21st-century spycraft.
Andrew and Jihi Bustamante were a 'tandem couple': married spies who'd dedicated their lives to the CIA. They met as trainees at Langley, and got married while hunting terrorists across the globe. Then, suddenly, they were assigned to a mission so sensitive and explosive that the CIA has still never acknowledged it. The CIA's source network in a country code-named 'Falcon' - one of America's most formidable rivals - had been compromised by a mole, and the agency needed a new way to collect intelligence there. Young newlyweds the Bustamantes were considered safe choices for this daunting task precisely because they had no experience in Falcon. They were also loyal, forgettable, and completely disposable - operatives who could help to strengthen the CIA's position in Falcon while simultaneously serving as bait for the mole.
But although their superiors at the CIA didn't realize it, the Bustamantes also brought another advantage to the table: a granular understanding of how terrorist cells operate, and how the agency could exploit those same tactics to keep the West safe. Assembling a rag-tag team of fellow operatives and recruiting new sources from Falcon, the Bustamantes pioneered a new way of spying by building a cell of their own, right at the heart of the CIA.
The propulsive, untold tale of one of history's greatest intelligence crises and the unlikely band of agents who were sent in to clean up the mess, Shadow Cell allows us to peer behind the curtain to see how today's spy wars are being fought - and won.
Ocean - A History of the Atlantic Before Columbus
Ocean is an ambitious history of the pre-Columbian Atlantic Ocean, a story that begins with the formation of the mid-Atlantic ridge some 200 million years ago and ends with the Castilian conquest of the Canary Islands in the fifteenth century, which provided a template for the methods used by the Spanish in their colonisation of the New World.
John Haywood argues that the perception that Atlantic history begins with the first voyage of the celebrated Genoese navigator is a mistaken one, and that the seafaring and shipbuilding skills that enabled European global exploration and expansion did not arrive fully formed in the fifteenth century, but were learned over centuries and millennia in the Atlantic and its marginal seas. The pre-Columbian history of the Atlantic is the story of how Europeans learned to master the oceans. It is, therefore, key to understanding why it was Europeans, and not any of the world's other seafaring peoples, who 'discovered' the world.
Ocean is informed by the author's extensive travels in and around the Atlantic Ocean, crossing Newfoundland's Grand Banks, the Sea of Darkness and the weed-covered Sargasso Sea to make landfall at locations as diverse as Vinland, Greenland, the Faroes and the Cape Verde Islands. Populated by a heterogeneous and multi-ethnic cast of seafarers, fishermen, monks, merchants and dreamers, this is an in-depth history of a neglected subject, fusing geology, geography, mythology, cosmology, developing maritime technologies and the early history of exploration to narrate an enthralling and intriguing story that lies at the very heart of Europe's modern history and its relationship with the rest of the world. A history on a grand scale, Ocean offers the reader a feast of historical storytelling that will appeal to readers of David Abulafia, Simon Winchester and Michael Pye.

Cat Tales
The first book to explore from an archaeological perspective the incredible and improbable history of our relationship with cats, from fearsome foe to purring pet.
Feared, revered and respected, cats have left an indelible pawprint on the histories and civilizations of humankind. In Britain a third of all households have a cat, as of 2021, some 45 million American households owned one or more cats, making them one of the most popular pets in the world. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of your furry friend were predators, not pets.
Here, for the first time, the path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate is set out through an archaeological lens by Professor of Anthropology Jerry Moore. Starting with the terrifying prehistorical scimitar-toothed cat of the Pliocene and the lion drawings of the Palaeolithic Chauvet caves, Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries.
However, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn. Combining incredible archaeological finds with contemporary media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple but profound question: who domesticated whom?
Think Like a Stoic
In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic.
With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life's pleasures.
But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of AI. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.
