Komunitní péče
V posledních letech čelíme událostem s celosvětovým dopadem. Období pandemie covidu-19 vyvolalo změny ve fungování lidské společnosti a jednou z nejvíce zatížených oblastí se stalo zdravotnictví. Ukázalo se, že zdravotnické instituce v době krizových situací nemohou přes veškerou snahu kapacitně zvládnout nápor nemocných, a proto přišla na pořad dne i jiná řešení, např. dobrovolnická činnost.
Zároveň jsme v ekonomicky rozvinutých zemích svědky nejen rozvoje možností medicíny, ale i dlouhodobějších demografických změn, které jsou spojeny s nárůstem výskytu chronických a invalidizujících chorob, což opět klade vyšší nároky na zdravotnické instituce i pečující blízké.
Taktéž tzv. medicinalizace našeho života, při níž je řešení řady životních situací přesunuto do prostředí zdravotnických institucí, s sebou nese jako následek neustálé zvyšování nároků na zdravotnictví.
Zároveň je prokazatelné, že zdravotnické instituce nejsou vždy ideální volbou ani z hlediska uživatele a náležitého zajištění všech jeho potřeb.
Jednou z možností, jak ulevit přetíženému zdravotnickému systému a zároveň zabezpečit potřeby uživatelů péče, je důraz na podporu rozvoje různých forem komunitní péče. Některé z nich se dlouhodobě a poměrně svébytně rozvíjí i v České republice. Protože však od napsání posledních českých monografií na toto téma uplynulo již více než deset let, jsou možnosti využití komunitní péče, které jsou nyní k dispozici, poněkud nepřehledné.
Tato monografie je tak určena především stávajícím a budoucím zdravotníkům (u nichž je v současnosti výuka komunitní péče nedílnou součástí profesní přípravy), ale i dalším pomáhajícím profesím, např. sociálním pracovníkům, s cílem přinést ucelený přehled aktuálních mezinárodních a národních strategií podpory zdraví a komunitní péče, dále přehled nabízených služeb komunitní péče s důrazem na oblast podpory zdraví. Stejně tak je ambicí autorek představit ukázku směrů, kudy by se komunitní péče mohla ubírat v budoucnosti.
Soldier of the South
Military biography of Lt. Gen. Richard H. Anderson, whose career led him from West Point to Mexico, Charleston to Appomattox Soldier of the South is the first comprehensive examination of Anderson's life, providing a view of an officer's experiences on the frontier, in Mexico, and during the American Civil War. Anderson led Confederate soldiers first in Florida, then from the Peninsula Campaign to Sailor's Creek, where his patchwork corps disintegrated. Edward J. Hagerty considers both the strategic details of Anderson's failures and successes on the battlefield and his personal struggles off it. One of Robert E. Lee's corps commanders, Anderson was the most senior ranking soldier from South Carolina, yet he fell into relative obscurity after the war. Hagerty examines the causes for Anderson's postwar decline and makes the case for his continued significance.
Original Sin
THE HUGE SUNDAY TIMES AND No. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'Explosive' Guardian'Explosive' The Times'Explosive' Daily Mail'Explosive' Politico'Explosive' New York TimesThe book that revealed one of the greatest cover-ups in modern American history. Joe Biden, his family and his senior aides were convinced that only he could beat Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election. So convinced, in fact, that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations – all but dooming the Democrats to defeat. Here, two of America’s best-respected political journalists draw on astonishing access to Biden's circle to uncover what really happened in 2024. Hailed as an instant classic of investigative journalism, Original Sin exposed the greatest campaign of denial and gaslighting in modern American history - leading directly to Donald Trump’s return to power, and all that has come since. 'The shocking truth of the last year of Biden's presidency . . . A scathing account of an elderly, egotistical president cocooned from reality.'

A Shellshocked Nation
After the calamity of the Great War, there was a desire in Britain for escapist fun - the lights of the Jazz Age, radio comedies and the pictures were a welcome respite from the grim reality of the Great Depression. Yet the storm clouds were gathering, and Britain between the wars was a turbulent, restless place - and where the foundations of the modern nation were laid.Combining cultural, social and political history, A Shellshocked Nation is the next instalment in Alwyn Turner''s highly original history of the twentieth century, sketching a portrait of the interwar nation through its entertainments and scandals, its people and political crises. From the General Strike to the BBC, Irish Home Rule and the rise of fascism, this is the definitive story of Britain''s most anxious era.

Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod sepsané Janem Müllerem
Rukopis Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod sepsaný v roce 1842 dlouholetým panským důchodním Janem Müllerem (1773–1861), představuje mimořádné svědectví o životě na jednom z nejvýznamnějších východočeských panství přelomu 18. a 19. století. Autor, který působil ve službách náchodské vrchnosti více než půl století, zachytil hospodářský, správní i společenský život panství s přesností úředníka a vnímavostí pozorovatele své doby.
Müllerovy zápisky odhalují nejen chod vrchnostenské kanceláře, ale i atmosféru společenských proměn a kulturního rozkvětu. Popisuje spory o piccolominské dědictví, dobu vlády Petra vévody Kuronského a jeho dcery Kateřiny vévodkyně Zaháňské, tajná jednání protinapoleonské koalice v Ratibořicích i uvedení Mozartovy opery Don Giovanni v náchodském zámeckém divadle. Vedle významných historických momentů zaznamenává i každodenní realitu úředníků, duchovních a učitelů, čímž podává plastický obraz života na panství v době mezi osvícenstvím a počátky moderní éry.
Zásluhou Věry Vlčkové, která rukopis objevila, přeložila a opatřila rozsáhlým poznámkovým aparátem, se tento zajímavý dokument mohl znovu vrátit k čtenářům. Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod nejsou jen kronikou úředníka, ale živým svědectvím o době proměn, loajality a kultury, kdy se z venkovského panství stávalo jedno z kulturních a politických center východních Čech.
Polar War
Russian spies. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dead of night. Tensions are building at the top of the world and the Arctic - the fastest-warming place on Earth - stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As thawing ice opens up new trade routes, untapped natural resources and long-frozen biological weapons, award-winning commentator Kenneth Rosen draws on first-hand reportage and testimony to document the race to control this strategically crucial territory. Above the Arctic Circle, the world''s superpowers stand on the brink of a new cold war - and every day it grows hotter. Timely and incisive, Polar War is an indispensable account of the interests, landscapes and people that define the world''s most extreme frontier.
The Secret Life of the Hotel
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in hotels? Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of ‘service’ provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britain’s tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century. Eloise Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christie’s disappearance in 1926, the ‘Margate Hotel Murder’, and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Moss’s exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr. The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britain’s relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and ‘welcome’ had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities.
Conjuring the Arab Magician
This Element reassesses narratives of intercultural transmission in medieval European magic, highlighting complex processes of compilation and attribution often obscured by broad labels. Following an Introduction that lays out the methodological framework, Section 1 ('The Wise Saracens') explores a medieval Christian magician's depiction of Islam and the figure of the Arab magician, illustrating how authors blended genuine intercultural exchanges with imaginative attributions. Section 2 ('The Seven Names') reconsiders a Latin magical text traditionally labeled 'Arabic magic,' demonstrating that its complex, multicultural components resist any simple claims of a lost Arabic original. Section 3 ('The Almandel Problem') presents another contested text, showing how philological evidence often complicates a linear model of transmission. Finally, this volume offers a complete edition and translation of The Book of Seven Names, discussed in Section 2.
Parenting Anxiety

Tackling one of the hardest issues facing families today with wisdom, warmth and humour, this is an essential handbook with advice that will help every modern parent.
The Killing Age
We have ignored a fundamental truth at the heart of modern world history – with dramatic consequences for our age of polycrisis.The years we most associate with human progress – the Enlightenment, the birth of democracies, the Industrial Revolution – were at the same time catastrophically destructive.In this trailblazing work of revisionist history, Professor Clifton Crais argues that the growth of global capitalism between 1750 and the early 1900s should be seen not as the Anthropocene, but the Mortecene: the Age of Killing. Killing brought the world together and tore it apart, as profiteering merchant warriors committed mass-scale slaughter of humans and animals across Africa, Asia and the Americas. This new network of global connections and economies killed tens of millions of people and sparked an environmental crisis that remains the most pressing catastrophe facing the world today.Drawing on years of scholarship and a range of new sources, THE KILLING AGE turns our vision of past and present on its head, illuminating the Mortecene in all its horror: how it has shaped who we are, what we value, what we fear, and the precarious present we inhabit today.
The Edges of the World
New York Times bestselling author Charles Foster argues that all the best ideas happen at the edges, from a rocky precipice where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented.
'Literal "eccentricity" is where the scientific, artistic and spiritual giants have always found their home. Venture with Foster if you dare, and embrace life.' Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary
We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive.
This book travels to the frontiers of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents, of evolution, of artistic and political movements, and life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis, kissing lepers to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda.
Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality - the Government or the dispossessed?
And what happens when we live with the knowledge that we're all teetering on the edge of the dark?
The Iraq Wars
American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War''s cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003. The Iraq War unleashed resistance, civil war, insurgency and eventually the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Thus, following the Gulf War, each war was fought to finish the previous conflict. The Iraq Wars, therefore, are perhaps best understood as a chain of events.Academics, journalists, statesmen, and soldiers have produced many library shelves of books on the Iraq Wars. Yet, no short, easily digestible volume exists to synthesize this vast literature of both English and Arabic sources. The Iraq Wars: A Very Short Introduction covers this series of important conflicts as a whole, in a highly succinct and uniquely readable way.
The Book of Joy
Two spiritual giants. Seven days. One timeless question.
'The ultimate source of happiness is within us.' DALAI LAMA
'We grow in kindness when our kindness is tested.' DESMOND TUTU
Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama were friends for many, many years. Between them, they have endured exile, violence and oppression. And in the face of these hardships, they continued to radiate compassion, humour and above all, joy.
To celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala. The two men spent a week discussing a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of suffering?
This book is a gift from two of the most important spiritual figures of our time. Full of love, warmth and hope, The Book of Joy offers us the chance to experience their journey from first embrace to final goodbye.
Talk
Conversation is at the heart of our relationships and decision-making - but the science behind our everyday interactions, and how to improve them, is little known.
In Talk, Harvard Professor Alison Wood Brooks provides fascinating insights into the power of effective communication. She gives you the tools that her MBA students say transform their lives, bringing together psychology, linguistics, sociology and neuroscience in her original framework:
T – Topics – including the surprising impact of preparing topics before a conversation
A – Asking – why we need to do more (and why we do less than we think)
L – Levity – how to find the fun in conversations with anyone
K – Kindness – how to be a better listener and not simply pretend to be one!
Through her own original research, Brooks shows readers how small changes in how we communicate can make a big difference to our relationships, our careers and our lives.
Love Notes
An original and inspiring new perspective on love and flourishing The world around us feels…off. Despite a never-ending parade of new technologies, new toys, and new distractions, it seems harder and harder to find time for the things that make us human and bring us authentic joy. It’s time to refocus on what’s truly important to us. In Love Notes: A small book with a big heart, bestselling author and lifelong educator, teacher, and ‘doctor of happiness’, Andy Cope, teams up with first-time author Hannah Knowles and illustrator Amy Bradley to deliver an extraordinary new book designed to replenish and reinvigorate those parts of you that make you feel most human. You’ll find a treasure trove of quotes, short stories, meaningful insights, and fun nonsense that all shed light on what gives our lives meaning: LOVE. There’s a catch, however. Andy, Hannah, and Amy insist that, once you’ve finished reading this book, you pass it on to the person in your life who needs it the most. That way, they can also enjoy: A recipe for personal flourishing that gives you the energy and mindset you need to give your best self to the people you love the mostTimeless and inspiring advice to help you replenish your reserves of happiness and love Colourful and original illustrations that bring the authors’ unique perspectives to life Designed to heal a divided world, Love Notes encourages readers to be less ‘selfie’ and more ‘othery’. It’s full of reminders of what it means to love and be loved. Dip in, smile, and pass it on to someone who matters. Because love isn’t meant to be kept — it’s meant to be shared.
Science, Religion, and the Human Future
Science, Religion, and the Human Future: Conflict, Collusion, and Consequences demonstrates that the myth of an inevitable conflict between science and faith is based on a misunderstanding of history, with potentially adverse consequences for human futures. The work focuses first upon ancient, medieval and Islamic scholars and the intimate connections they made between theology and the investigation of the natural world-and why we know so little about them. Moving into the modern era, it argues that one of the most concerning features of the science-faith relationship was their collusion in defining and validating the 'civilising mission' of Western imperialism. This collusion recontextualises the creation of the conflict thesis. Turning to the present day, the book investigates episodes of scientific controversy in which effective science communication was hindered not as a result of a clash between science and faith but because of a close and unexamined entanglement between the two. In cases ranging from space colonisation to AI, climate change to Covid-19, the problem is not so much science's split from faith as the unexamined and problematic theologies that remain implicit within it. Learning from these examples, the book outlines some productive and non-conflict-based frameworks for talking about science and faith in the future.
