Smart Money
A timely manifesto on how digital currencies will win the New Cold War and the struggle for geopolitical supremacy in the twenty-first century.
A New Cold War is underway. Whereas the first Cold War was dominated by the threat of nuclear conflict, the new front line is economic and financial, but still dominated by technology. Who controls its future will help decide the outcome of the geopolitical struggle between China and the US.
Since the end of the Second World War, the US dollar has been the global reserve currency, which has ensured American dominance of the world economy. But no longer. More than a hundred countries are developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), digital equivalents to cash that will utterly transform how we do business at home and abroad.
China was the first country to recognise the potential of this new money. The West's media focused on the new currency's role in China's surveillance state, creating widespread concern about all CBDCs. But they have largely overlooked a more important aspect of its existence: as a tool through which to 'de-dollarise' the developing world at the speed of light. When China's President Xi Jinping officially launched the digital yuan in February 2022, he also agreed a pact of 'limitless co-operation' with Russia. Within days, Russia launched its war on Ukraine, secure in the knowledge it could bypass US sanctions.
Urgent, clear-eyed and groundbreaking, Smart Money shows us how CBDCs are going to impact all of our futures in ways that most of us have failed to even consider. If the West is to compete, it needs to act fast to develop its own global digital currencies that reflect the values of liberal democracies.
Jak se osvobodit od strachu a úzkosti

Autorka, zkušená terapeutka, sdílí nejen příběhy svých klientů, ale i vlastní zkušenosti s tím, jak chronický strach dokáže člověka zablokovat. Na základě nejnovějších poznatků o fungování mozku vytvořila jednoduchý a srozumitelný šestikrokový program, který pomáhá zbavit se starých vzorců, posílit vnitřní odolnost a budovat „odvážný mozek“.

Žít život beze strachu je možné. A hlavně – je to naše volba.
Práce a peníze
Jak peníze a práce skutečně ovlivňují váš život – často jinak, než si myslíte.
Tato kniha vám otevře oči. Spojuje klasickou i behaviorální ekonomii s psychologií, aby vám ukázala, proč pracujeme, jak přemýšlíme o penězích – a proč se často necháváme nevědomky ovlivňovat.
Získáte odpovědi na otázky, které jste si možná ještě nikdy nepoložili, ale ovlivňují váš každodenní život:
Proč by každý z nás měl k penězům dostat „příbalový leták“?
A proč se naše rozhodování často zvrhne ve chvíli, kdy přijde na finance?
Co pro nás dnes práce vlastně znamená – a dokázali bychom bez ní žít?
Jak ocenit práci, která není vidět – třeba péči o domácnost?
Tato kniha není jen o teorii. Najdete v ní srozumitelná vysvětlení, příklady ze života, konkrétní výpočty a experimenty, které vám pomohou lépe porozumět sobě i ostatním. Nečekejte další obhajobu konzumního života – spíš praktického průvodce, který vám pomůže porozumět vlastnímu vztahu k práci, penězům a tomu, co vás skutečně motivuje.
Krížové cesty so sv. Františkom a jeho nasledovníkmi
Sv. František žil v úplnej odovzdanosti do vôle Božej. Svoj život odovzdal Ježišovi do tej miery, že túžil prežiť jeho muky pri ukrižovaní...
Dar stigmatizácie svätého Františka z Assisi, ktorá sa uskutočnila pred osemsto rokmi v tichu samoty pustovne na vrchu La Verná si pripomíname modlitebníkom, ktorý obsahuje šestnásť krížových ciest. Napísali ich členovia františkánskej rodiny. Obsahujú modlitby, myšlienky a reálie zo života sv. Františka a niektorých ďalších svätých zo serafínského rádu: Klára, Anton Paduánsky, Bonaventúra, Maximilián Mária Kolbe, blahoslavení Michal a Zbignev ako aj novic Štefan Iglódy, ktorý zomrel v povesti svätosti.
Zbierka krížových ciest znám môže pomôcť uvažovať nad znakmi lásky a pokory nášho Spasiteľa. Pri úprimnej modlitbe určite poskytne svetlo, útechu i povzbudenie v našom vlastnom nasledovaní ukrižovaného a vzkrieseného Pána.

Money - A Story of Humanity
MONEY.
The object of our desires.
The engine of our genius.
Humanity's greatest invention.
From clay tablets in Mesopotamia to today's cryptocurrency, global economist David McWilliams takes us on an epic journey of innovation, disruption and transformation that is an astonishing new history of our species.
The question is, over 5,000 years, have we changed money - or has money changed us?
Mapmatics
How does a delivery driver distribute hundreds of packages in a single day?
Why can maps influence elections?
Where should we look for serial killers?
The answers lie in the connection between maps and maths.
Mathematician Dr Paulina Rowinska explores the mathematical foundations of maps and cartography's impact on mathematics. From sixteenth-century maps which we still use on our phones to public transport maps that both guide and mislead, she uncovers how maps and maths shape our sense of space and time, and our worldview.
Through engaging stories, unforgettable characters and real-world examples, Mapmatics reveals the mathematical techniques behind maps and how they help us better understand - and care for - the world around us.
Wives Like Us
No one knows better than Ian Palmer - Executive Butler - that social position is everything in the rose-strewn Cotswolds.
So when his boss, Tata Hawkins, flounces out of her (new-build) manor house after a row with husband Bryan, Ian is alarmed: for one thing, if Tata is on the social slide downwards, that means he is too; for another, he's lost his home and has nowhere to store his prized collection of vintage Gucci loafers; even worse, a vacuum among the Country Princess set has opened up for a new Queen Bee.
With the old-money Pennybacker-Hoare sisters plotting to rid 'their' county of Tata and her ilk, a bikini influencer on the prowl for a husband just like Mr. Hawkins, a glamorous American divorcee threatening to steal Tata's crown, and the heiress-next-door threatening to steal Ian, the Cotswolds are in chaos.
Can Ian restore Tata's country crown and reinstate her to the comforts of the Manor?
Party of One
From one of the most admired reporters covering China today, a vital new account of the life and political vision of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of the People's Republic whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies.
Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China's Superpower Future shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world's most secretive political organizations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi during his early years in power, projecting their own hopes that he would steer China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics. Having masked his beliefs while climbing the party hierarchy, Xi has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a personality cult around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits-stirring fears of a return to Mao-style dictatorship. Today, the party of Xi favors political zeal over technical expertise, trumpets its faith in Marxism, and proclaims its reach into every corner of Chinese society with Xi portraits and hammer-and-sickle logos. Under Xi, China has challenged Western preeminence in global affairs and cast its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation.
As a China reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Chun Han Wong has chronicled Xi's hardline strategy for crushing dissent and his political repression in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Wong spent five years in Beijing before the Chinese government forced him to leave mainland China in 2019, after which he moved to Hong Kong and continued writing about Xi's leadership. Now, Wong has drawn on his years of first-hand reporting across China to create a lucid and historically-rooted account of China's leader, and how he inspires fear and fervor in his party, his nation, and beyond.
Timely, revelatory, and important, Party of One explains how the future Xi imagines for China will reshape the future of the entire world.
Land Between the Rivers
Iraq is where civilisation was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed since long before Alexander, and it was here by the waters of Babylon where Judaism was born and the Sunni-Shia schism took its bloody shape. Inspired by extensive reporting from the region and a decade delving deep into its history, Land Between the Rivers chronicles Iraq's uniquely central role on the global stage throughout the past five millennia.
We begin the story with ancient Sumer and Gilgamesh building the walls of Uruk ('Iraq') to make a great name for himself at the edge of historical time. We end it in 1958, as the last royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free and promising capital in the Middle East.
Bartle Bull's remarkable, sweeping achievement reminds us that the region defined by the land between the rivers
has, throughout history, played host to the contest pitting humanism against the machinations of power and fate.
Ochorenia periimplantačných tkanív a ich liečba
Súčasná implantológia je odbor, ktorý spája chirurgiu, protetiku a parodontológiu. Úspešná prax v tomto odbore preto vyžaduje dostatočnú erudíciu vo všetkých spomínaných odboroch. Napriek dobrej erudícii, napriek dlhoročným skúsenostiam sa nevyhneme rôznym komplikáciám. Najčastejšou komplikáciou v implantológii je zápalový proces tvrdých tkanív okolo implantátov – periimplantitída.
The Mind Electric
A young woman channelling the voice of the Holy Spirit. A mother whose children have been replaced by changelings. A family cursed by a mysterious inability to sleep. Pria Anand's patients come to her with myriad peculiar symptoms, but they all have something in common: their diagnosis always hinges on a story. Her task as a neurologist is akin to a detective's, piecing together the clues in a patient's account with the tells of their body in order to settle on a diagnosis.
In her gorgeously lyrical, passionate and humane first book, Pria Anand shares stories of her own patients alongside her own experiences as a doctor, a mother and a patient, in order to explore all the bizarre ways in which our brains go awry. Moving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients, to her childhood years in India, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to Guinea in West Africa, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that the strangest symptoms experienced by any single individual can show us something universal about being human.
10 Mistakes That Changed History
We all make mistakes, but rarely do they change the course of human history. From break-ups that ended empires to naps that sank ships, 10 Mistakes That Changed History is the hilarious retelling of some of the greatest episodes in the story of humankind.
Looking at many of the biggest characters and events of the last two and a half thousand years, from Cleopatra to the sinking of the Titanic, historian and comedian Paul Coulter explores how, despite the glamour, entourages and deity-sized egos, historical turning points were often the result of very human errors.
Blending history, storytelling and comedy, 10 Mistakes That Changed History is history as you wish you had learned it back at school: a greatest-hits of bad leadership decisions, misguided acts of heroism and catastrophic lapses of judgement.
These are the stories that have shaped our world, all with monumental consequences. Because sometimes it's nice to know that, no matter how bad your day is, the greatest names in history stuffed up too.
Intimacy
From the initial spark of attraction when your eyes first meet, to spontaneously dancing together in the kitchen and falling asleep side by side - how do we create those intimate moments of connection?
How we see sex and intimacy portrayed on screen has profound effects on how we learn to love each other, but before Ita O'Brien, no-one was thinking about it. After a lifetime of working in film and TV and seeing its abuses first-hand, Ita decided to change how we portray intimacy for good.
Now, as Intimacy Coordinator on productions including Normal People, Sex Education and I May Destroy You, Ita has transformed the way we see and talk about sex in pop-culture. Here, Ita guides us through how she helps actors create authentic sex scenes, and how we can use those techniques to rebuild a deeper and healthier connection with our bodies, create a safe space for exploration, and rethink how we navigate sex and intimacy in our own lives - at home, in our closest relationships - and in society as a whole.
Full of behind-the-scenes stories from her work on set, Intimacy is a call for us to rethink how we navigate ourselves and each other, not just through our words, but through our bodies and actions, too.
The Damascus Events
This remarkable book recreates one of the watershed moments in the history of the Middle East: the ferocious outbreaks of disorder across the Levant in 1860 which resulted in the massacre of thousands of Christians in Damascus.
Eugene Rogan brilliantly recreates the lost world of the Middle East under Ottoman rule. The once mighty empire was under pressure from global economic change and European imperial expansion. Reforms in the mid-nineteenth century raised tensions across the empire, nowhere more so than in Damascus. A multifarious city linked by caravan trade to Baghdad, the Mediterranean and Mecca, the chaos of languages, customs and beliefs made Damascus a warily tolerant place. Until the reforms began to advantage the minority Christian community at the expense of the Muslim majority.
But in 1860 people who had generally lived side by side for generations became bitter enemies as news of civil war in Mount Lebanon arrived in the city. Under the threat of a French expeditionary force, the Ottomans dealt with the disaster effectively and ruthlessly - but the old, generally quite tolerant Damascene world lay in ruins. It would take a quarter of a century to restore stability and prosperity to the Syrian capital.
This is both an essential book for understanding the emergence of the modern Middle East from the destruction of the old Ottoman world, and a uniquely gripping story.
The Laws of Connection
NOW WITH FAQS EXCLUSIVE TO THE PAPERBACK
There is one key factor affecting health and long life that is more important than any other: social connection.
When we form meaningful bonds with others, our wounds heal faster, our blood pressure drops and we are less likely to have Alzheimer's, heart attacks or strokes. We perform better on tests of mental focus, memory and problem solving. Strong social connection can even fuel creativity, increase our financial stability and enhance our work productivity. But making friends can also be daunting.
In The Laws of Connection, David Robson unpacks the science behind this effect and introduces us to simple strategies to promote instant rapport and sustain lifelong, meaningful relationships.

"75 príbehov z psychologickej poradne Denníka N"
Nespokojnosť v práci, nevera, bolesť z rozchodu, samota a neúspech pri hľadaní životného partnera, strata pocitu blízkosti v dlhodobom vzťahu či problémy so závislosťou. To všetko je len zlomok z tém, ktoré trápia čitateľov a čitateľky psychologickej poradne Denníka N. Počas dvoch rokov fungovania poradne odpovedali psychologičky Jana Ashford a Lenka Pavuková Rušarová spolu s kolegami Martinom Milerom a Norbertom Uhnákom na desiatky otázok čitateľov a čitateliek, ktorí sa pýtajú: „Ako riešiť komplikovanú situáciu?“ „Čo s tým?“
V knihe nájdete nielen sedemdesiatpäť problematických životných situácií, ale najmä rozmanité životné príbehy ľudí, ktorí sú ako vy. Majú svoje viac alebo menej funkčné rodiny, sú rodičmi a zároveň deťmi, niektorí sa cítia osamelí, iní, naopak, zahltení spoločnosťou, neschopní, nerozhodní, precitlivení. Niektorí nevedia, ako si poradiť s deťmi, iní so súrodencami alebo s kolegami. Všetci však nabrali odvahu pomenovať, čo ich trápi, a hľadať riešenie.
Dúfame, že vás táto kniha inšpiruje k zamysleniu nad vaším vlastným životom, a ako povedal Norbert Uhnák: „Možno sa stane nečakaným zrkadlom, v ktorom môžeme rozpoznať aj vlastnú bytosť a dilemy.“
