Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of World History
Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of World History brings together the works of Georg W. F. Hegel (1770–1831), one of the greatest philosophers of history, who, prior to his death, did not execute a treatise setting forth his philosophy of world history. All that remains are fragmented and truncated manuscript materials and meticulous student transcripts from his lectures on the philosophy of world history, which are assembled in this book to present what Hegel might call the "essential phases" or "moments" in his philosophy of world history as an articulated, unfolding, organic whole. Drawing from historical-critical editions, Thomas L. Pangle has compiled a range of passages that provide the fullest and clearest expression of Hegel's teachings on the philosophy of history as divine reason expressing itself dynamically in the whole of existence. Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of World History provides lucid, vivid, and concrete access to Hegel's political philosophy, as the most ambitious and thorough attempt to demonstrate that world history overall, starting with ancient China and India, exhibits God's providence for humanity as a truly rational divine plan.
Phenomena
From the author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, this is the gripping story of how a select group of scientists, under the watchful eye of the CIA, sought to harness the power of the mind as tools of espionage and warfare.
'A well-researched and fascinating tale' Forbes
This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top secret clearances.
For more than forty years, the U.S. government has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets, to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future threats to national security.
The intelligence agencies and military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy, Air Force, and Army-and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, for the first time, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen tells the story of these radical, controversial programs, using never before seen declassified documents as well as exclusive interviews with, and unprecedented access to, more than fifty of the individuals involved. Speaking on the record, many for the first time, are former CIA and Defense Department scientists, analysts, and program managers, as well as the government psychics themselves.
Who did the U.S. government hire for these top secret programs, and how do they explain their military and intelligence work? How do scientists approach such enigmatic subject matter? What interested the government in these supposed powers and does the research continue?
Phenomena is a riveting investigation into how far governments will go in the name of national security.
The Swedish Art of Ageing Well
This is a guide to a life well-lived. It is about the wonder of the everyday and the lessons that age brings.
Wear stripes. Eat chocolate. Don't leave empty-handed.
But also embrace change, let go of what doesn't matter and take care of something or someone other than yourself.
The Swedish Art of Ageing Well is a gentle and welcome reminder that, no matter your age, there are always fresh discoveries ahead and pleasures to be enjoyed every day.
Over Work
Workers across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives.
Drawing on years of research, Brigid Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was more compatible with well-being and many jobs enabled a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty.
She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan's Housewives Brigade - which demands legal protection for family time - and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions.
Rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.

Eroding Democracy from the Outside In
The end of the Cold War gave way to a fundamental shift in the structure of the international system. It was an era characterized above all by liberal triumphalism in which Western politicians and policymakers turned to international organizations (IOs) to spread and reinforce liberal values. These IOs, backed by the West, proliferated at exceedingly high rates, with democracies in particular becoming fully integrated members. Scholars agreed with policymakers, finding overwhelming evidence that these IOs were positive forces for democracy, and for several decades liberal democracy appeared ascendant. However, beginning around 2010, liberal democracy''s forward march abruptly halted, and ongoing evidence of democratic backsliding ---an historically unprecedented phenomenon in which democratically elected officials erode liberal democratic institutions--- calls into question the post-Cold War narrative of liberal democratic triumphalism. What explains democracy''s sudden reversal of fortune and the emergence of this new form of democratic regression on the heels of unmatched international integration and support for liberal democracy? Eroding Democracy from the Outside In proposes a novel international-level theory of democratic backsliding. In the decades after the Soviet Union fell, IOs became not only much more common, but a certain subset of these organizations also gained unprecedented power and influence over domestic affairs and substantive, highly salient economic and political policy outcomes. One unintended consequence of this increased delegation of economic and political policy authority to powerful IOs has been that over time core domestic representative institutions, such as political parties and legislatures, have been eroded, while power has been increasingly concentrated in the hands of executives who represent their states at the international level. These weak institutions, unable to either represent citizens'' wide-ranging interests or act as a check on growing executive power, have paved the way for would-be autocrats to consolidate their hold on the state. The result all too often has been democratic backsliding.
The Short History of Russia
The invasion of Ukraine in 2022 began a new episode in history and was surrounded by a miscellany of historical claims. This book is a succinct, up-to-date guide to the histories on offer about and from Russia, one that seeks to make sense of present issues and future prospects as well as of the past. There is a heavy emphasis on war and international relations, but that is appropriate not only for the past but also from a present in which both are to the fore.Peter the Great (r. 1689-1725), an eager modernizer, was viewed as an un-Russian evil phenomenon in light of his denial of the divine identity of traditional Russian monarchy, his blasphemy, his theft of time from God when he changed the calendar, and his sacrilegious violation of the image of God in man when he forced men to cut off their beards. Vladimir Putin cuts off no beards, he is no moderniser; the fall of the Berlin Wall left him with an abiding mistrust of democracy and ''People''s Power''. At Davos in 2000, American journalist Trudy Rubin asked a panel of top Russian officials: ''Who is Mr Putin?'' None of them could answer, except to say: ''He is the president of Russia.'' How did this foreign intelligence officer of the KGB become Trump''s favourite running dog of capitalism? To answer the question, we have to understand what Russia was. There is a continuity that will give us a clue about what it is and will become.
Conservatism
The idea that conservatism amounts to little more than being in favour of free market capitalism and a small state—widely held for decades—is seriously mistaken.Award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is to return to a genuine conservatism that is distinct from the hollow promises of contemporary economic and social liberalism. He explains how this great Anglo-American conservative tradition – rooted in empiricism, faith and the nation – emerged and developed in England in the thought of men like Richard Hooker and Edmund Burke, and later inspired American figures ranging from the Federalists to Lincoln. He analyses how this tradition was corrupted and subverted from the 1960s onwards by the right’s misconceived embrace of ‘fusionism’ and liberalism, and how it can be revived today to respond to an era of progressive hegemony.Reflecting on his own first-hand experiences - and the importance of personal behaviour, piety and virtue in rebuilding the culture and politics of conservatism – Hazony makes a powerful counter-cultural case for a revivified conservatism that no-one dissatisfied with the current state of the political right can afford to miss.
The Sound of Utopia
'An illuminating account of how the Soviet system waged its war on musicians' Financial TimesWhen Stalin came to power, making music became a dangerous endeavour. Russian composers now had to create work that served the socialist state, and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion.The Sound of Utopia offers a vivid portrait of Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in this climate of terror. Some successfully toed the ideological line, diluting their work in the process; others ended up facing the Gulag or even death. With pace and verve, Michel Krielaars tells stories of intrigue, betrayal and stunning reversals of fortune, from the gay popular singer arrested at the height of his popularity to the blacklisted composer who wrote music on scrap paper in a forced labour camp.Dramatic and immersive, this is a rich exploration of the absurdity and the richness of Soviet musical life - and a tribute to those who crafted sublime melodies under the darkest circumstances.
Alexander - God, King, Man
A stunningly written new biography of Alexander the Great, based on a series of important new discoveries and the author's own translations of source material from twelve ancient languages.
In 336 BCE, at the age of twenty, Alexander, a wide-eyed boy from the hills of Macedon, inherited a tumbledown kingdom, a pile of debts and an army which answered to nobody. Desperate to hold on to power, he led the army east, into the heart of the vast Persian Empire, and inadvertently began the greatest military campaign in history. The young man became a king, the king became a hero, the hero became a living god, and the god died aged thirty-two, broken-hearted in Babylon.
For centuries, historians have told his story, yet Alexander has remained a mystery. But now, the ruins of his cities have emerged from the bottom of the sea and the dust of Central Asian hillsides. The diaries of Babylonian astronomers who knew him have been deciphered. The tombs of his ancestors have been unearthed. For the first time, instead of the legend, we can meet Alexander the man.
Based on more than a decade of cutting-edge research, Alexander allows readers to feel the desert wind and experience the full horror of battle. Richardson's research has taken him from the catacombs of Egypt to the passes of Afghanistan. Alexander is a cinematic work of non-fiction: a revelatory retelling of one of the most famous and elusive stories in history.
Operation Paperclip
In this engrossing and deeply disturbing exposé from the bestselling author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, Annie Jacobsen tells the gripping story of a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States.
In the chaos following the Second World War, the US government faced a critical decision: what to do with the great scientific minds of the Third Reich. Many were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder. Nevertheless, the US government secretly decided that their knowledge of rocketry and medical advances were vital to the outcome of the Cold War.
Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and dossiers discovered in archives across the world, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into one of the most startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secrets of the twentieth century.
Learning the Language of Creation
A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.
How to Be Well
‘...an intelligent take-down, but funny too' The TimesHow To Be Well was made Welldoing's Book of The Month. Peloton. Pilates. Biohacking. Colonics. Ashwagandha. How did we get here and how did the idea of wellness become integrated with women’s lives?'Penetrating and thought-provoking, this will cause readers to think twice before reaching for the latest purported cure-all.' Publishers Weekly'A rollicking exploration of our desperation for wellness, our devotion to CBD, (and) self-care...deftly separating the gobbledygook from the truly transformative.' Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not ApplyToday, the wellness industry is a $3.7 trillion behemoth that touches us all. Amy Larocca takes readers into the communities that swear by their activated charcoal toothpaste and green juice enemas, explaining what each of these practices really is, and what the science says. Larocca holds a magnifying glass to alternative medicine and nouveau lifestyle prescriptions — and tries a lot herself along the way — ultimately delivering an assessment of how the wellness industry embodies our (gendered, class-based, racialised) perceptions of care and self-improvement, and how it preys on our unshakable fear of the unknown. She traces the history of how the beauty and fashion industries have peddled snake oil to women for decades, and why we keep coming back for more.
Prečo si pamätáme
Pamäť je oveľa viac než len záznam minulosti. V tejto prelomovej knihe o mysli a mozgu jeden z popredných svetových výskumníkov pamäti odhaľuje silnú funkciu, ktorú má pamäť takmer v každom aspekte nášho života – od zapamätania si tvárí a mien cez učenie, rozhodovanie až po traumu a uzdravovanie.
Najnovší vedecký výskum prináša nový pohľad na našu pamäť. V knihe Prečo si pamätáme neurovedecký priekopník a psychológ Charan Ranganath radikálne prehodnocuje spôsob, akým vnímame každodenné spomínanie. V kombinácii zrozumiteľného jazyka a najmodernejšieho výskumu ukazuje prekvapivé spôsoby, akými náš mozog zaznamenáva minulosť a ako tieto informácie používame na pochopenie toho, kým sme v prítomnosti, a na predstavovanie si a plánovanie vlastnej budúcnosti.
Ako ukazuje Dr. Ranganath, pamäť je vysoko transformačná sila, ktorá ovplyvňuje, ako prežívame svet, často neviditeľným a niekedy aj deštruktívnym spôsobom. Poznanie týchto mechanizmov nám môže pomôcť pri každodenných úlohách, ako je hľadanie kľúčov, ale aj pri vyrovnávaní sa so stratou pamäti v staršom veku. Navyše, keď pracujeme v súlade so schopnosťou mozgu učiť sa a nanovo interpretovať minulé udalosti, môžeme liečiť traumu, zbavovať sa predsudkov, učiť sa rýchlejšie a rozvíjať si sebauvedomenie.
V knihe nájdete fascinujúce štúdie a príklady z popkultúry. Ranganath čerpá aj zo svojho života vedca, otca a dieťaťa prisťahovalcov. Prečo si pamätáme je strhujúce čítanie, ktoré odhaľuje skrytú úlohu pamäti naprieč naším životom. Keď porozumieme jej sile a zvláštnostiam, dokážeme sa prehrýzť balastom a pamätať si to, čo si pamätať chceme. Budeme schopní sa rozhodovať slobodnejšie a plánovať šťastnejšiu budúcnosť.
Země hojnosti
Kniha poeticky nazvaná Sen o zemi hojnosti se zaobírá problematikou fantaskních představ pozdně středověkých lidí, intelektuálů, šlechticů, měšťanů i obyčejných sedláků, o světě, v němž panuje dostatek a nadbytek, o světě věčného mládí, kde lidé nestárnou a nic je nebolí. Jejím ústředním tématem je svět naruby, v němž má vše podobu dokonalého opaku. Na místo hladu zde létají pečená prasata a grilované husy přímo do pusy, v potocích teče pivo a víno, vařené ryby vyskakují rovnou na talíř. Knihu Hermana Pleije je možné číst jako protipól vůči slavnému Podzimu středověku Johana Huizingy. Jestliže u Huizingy dominuje dvorská, burgundská kultura s jejími jinotaji, pak u Pleije hraje prim zemitá lidová kultura, v níž je vše dovoleno a v níž se lidé oddávají snům hlavně proto, aby se člověk alespoň na chvíli dokázal přenést přes každodenní strasti.

Jak se používá literatura
Příručka o tom, jak číst, vnímat a využívat literární texty
Literární teoretička Rita Felski nabízí nový, osvěžující pohled na to, jak přistupovat k literatuře. Její kniha obhajuje čtení jakožto nezastupitelnou instanci, přičemž Felski se snaží překlenout propast mezi literární teorií a čtenářsky zaujatým přístupem (common sense); zkoumá jednotlivé třecí plochy i styčné body v hledání odpovědi na otázky, proč a jak čteme. Každý pokus vysvětlit hodnotu literatury musí být podle ní založen na zkoumání motivů čtení, a v to ve spektru jejich různorodosti. Autorka předpokládá, že tyto motivy se vzájemně nevylučují. Představuje čtyři rozdílné způsoby uvažování o literatuře a jejím čtení. V literatuře můžeme (1) rozpoznat sami sebe, literatura může také (2) okouzlovat, (3) zprostředkovávat vědění nebo (4) šokovat. Konstatuje, že termíny literární vědy a výrazy subjektivního přožitku čtení se od sebe vzdálily a že je potřeba hledat způsob, jak tuto propast překonat.

Rostliny naší přírody, 2. vydání
Akvarelový atlas zahrnuje vyobrazení 789 převážně dominantních planých bylin přírody České republiky, ať už původních, zavlečených či invazních. Originální obrázky, malované výhradně podle živého materiálu, jsou doprovázeny krátkými texty o ekologii druhu, rozlišovacích znacích, které nejsou patrné z obrázku, popřípadě o příbuzných druzích a jejich určení. Poznámkově je zde tedy zmíněno (někdy i v detailech vyobrazeno) dalších 231 druhů či poddruhů, takže celkový počet zde uvedených taxonů je 1020; to představuje téměř polovinu planých bylin České republiky. Výběr rostlin v knize dále zohledňuje posun naší květeny od roku 1973 (kdy vyšel předchozí atlas Naše květiny autorů Deyla a Híska) do dneška, zejména zařazením běžných invazních druhů a většího počtu travních dominant. Z rostlin horských a z orchidejí je naopak zobrazen jen výběr nápadných a častých druhů, které se přirozeně vyskytují na území České republiky.
Mgr. Anna Skoumalová-Hadačová (1946) se věnuje převážně vědecké ilustraci v oboru botanika a medicína, ilustrovala na padesát knižních titulů: v Nakladatelství Academia například 8 dílů Květeny České republiky a obě vydání Klíče ke květeně České republiky. Z jiných titulů možno uvést atlasy dřevin a přírodovědné encyklopedie.
Doc. RNDr. Lubomír Hrouda, CSc. (1945) přednáší botanické disciplíny na Přírodovědecké a Pedagogické fakultě UK a je rovněž pracovníkem Botanické zahrady přírodovědecké fakulty UK. Vedle vědeckých prací o některých skupinách cévnatých rostlin je autorem statí ve všech dílech Květeny České republiky i v obou vydáních Klíče ke květeně České republiky – u prvního vydání (2002) byl pak i jedním z editorů.
