Autocracy, Inc
The celebrated historian and journalist uncovers the networks trying to destroy the democratic world
All of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic state looks like, with a bad man at the top. But in the 21st century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources-the troll farms that promote one dictator's propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another-and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.
Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, this group doesn't operate like a bloc, but rather like an agglomeration of companies: Autocracy, Inc. Their relations are not based on values, but are rather transactional, which is why they operate so easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: Their dislike of us, the inhabitants of the democratic world, and their desire to see both our political systems and our values undermine.
That shared understanding of the world-where it comes from, why it lasts, how it works, how the democratic world has unwittingly helped to consolidate it, and how we can help bring it down-is the subject of this book.

The Great Wave
In the twenty-first century, a wave of political, cultural and technological change has capsized our old certainties and assumptions, creating both opportunity and danger.
As people lose their faith in old institutions and elites, radical voices at the margins and the grassroots are disrupting the status quo. This is the time of the outsider – the protester, the populist, the hacker. Some of these outsiders have sown chaos, like Donald Trump, and others have provided inspirational leadership, like Volodymyr Zelensky. But all have grasped this precarious moment to make something new.
Writing with a critic’s incisive understanding of cultural trends, Michiko Kakutani outlines the consequences of these new asymmetries of power, and looks back to similar hinge moments in history, from the waning of the Middle Ages to the aftermath of the Second World War, to find a way forward.
For there is, Kakutani argues, always the promise of transformation in times of turmoil. We can surrender to the waters, give in to the gathering chaos, or we can use the wave’s momentum to propel us into a more stable and sustainable future.
Everything Is Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.
In 2019, John Green met Henry, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone while traveling with Partners in Health. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year.
In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
How To Know a Person
A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person in order to foster deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives-from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain
If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them. If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood."
And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us to do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us. If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person's story should you pay attention to?
Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, and from the worlds of theatre, history, and education, to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate towards others; it helps readers find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception.
The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is a profoundly creative act: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection, seeking to understand and yearning to be understood.
Týmová supervize
Týmová supervize vychází téměř po deseti letech jako druhé, přepracované vydání úspěšného titulu z roku 2016. Oproti prvnímu vydání se rozšířily zvláště kapitoly o vztazích a supervizních modelech. Do dynamického týmového dění autoři vnášejí reflektující nadhled a vědomí rozmanitých kontextů. Zachovávají přitom osvědčený trojúhelníkový model 3×3: Věnují se nejprve trojici organizačních (společenských), týmových a supervizních souvislostí, v jejichž rámci se supervize odehrává. Zaměření reflexe, tedy účel týmové supervize, zkoumají v trojici Cíle (Proč supervidovat?), Procesy (Co supervidovat?) a Vztahy (Jak supervidovat?). Malý i velký supervizní oblouk přibližují přes trojici kontraktování, intervenování a hodnocení. Autoři se snaží vyvažovat českou supervizní tradici a nové směry rozvoje včetně důrazu na reflexivitu, rozmanitost, kulturní pokoru a udržitelnost. Vnímají týmy i supervizi jako prostředí demokratických hodnot, o něž stojí za to usilovat dnes i v budoucnu.

JUDr. Tomáš Gábriš, PhD., LLM, MA
Speaking in Tongues
This is a book about languages, what languages can and what they cannot do.
In this dialogue between a Nobel Laureate and a leading translator, provocative ideas emerge about the evolution of language and the challenge of translation.
Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues - taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel-Laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos - explores questions that have constantly plagued writers and translators, now more than ever. Among them:
How can a translator liberate meanings imprisoned in the language of a text?
Why is the masculine form dominant in gendered languages while the feminine is treated as a deviation?
How should we counter the spread of monolingualism?
Should a translator censor racist or misogynistic language?
Does mathematics tell the truth about everything?
In the tradition of Walter Benjamin’s seminal essay 'The Task of the Translator', Speaking in Tongues emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.
Night of Power
In this final work from renowned journalist Robert Fisk, he picks up reporting on the Middle East where his internationally bestselling The Great War of Civilisation left off.
From the Arab uprisings and the Syrian civil war to Israel's conflicts with Palestine and Lebanon, Fisk condemns the West's ongoing hypocrisy and interference while revealing the horrific truth of life on the ground. Unafraid to criticise authority and unpick complex truths, hecreates a compelling narrative of passionate and engaging journalism, historical analysis and eyewitness reporting.
With a Postscript by Nelofer Pazira-Fisk and a foreword by Patrick Cockburn, Night of Power delivers an essential and prophetic account of the last twenty years, which exposes the inescapable consequences of colonial oppression and violence in the Middle East.
Oracy
Literacy. Numeracy. Oracy?
For generations our education system has been built on the twin pillars of literacy and numeracy. But what if a third – and equally vital – pillar has been ignored? Enter oracy: communicating effectively, articulating ideas and engaging with others through spoken language.
In this persuasive and powerful manifesto, Neil Mercer calls for oracy, as a subject and a set of skills, to have equal footing alongside literacy and numeracy. Oracy can and must be taught, so that students leave school not only as readers and writers, but as accomplished speakers and listeners. Mercer incisively shows how oracy education has nothing to do with speaking ‘proper’, or eliminating style, slang and regional accents, but instead about empowering people to find and express their own voice. In fact, oracy is a key driver of cognitive development, academic attainment and social mobility – helping every young person to achieve their potential and challenge the inequalities of language and power.
Oracy: The Transformative Power of Finding Your Voice is the first book to bring this important step change in educational and social thinking to a wider audience. But it is also practical: a guide to how to use talk to teach critical thinking and find creative solutions to life’s burning issues. After all, the impact of oracy doesn’t stop at the school gates: we all need oracy skills for our personal relationships, professional networks and social lives.
The Stitch-Up
Got endometriosis? You should have a baby!
Painful post-birth prolapse? Well, you had a baby.
Let down by doctors? Try our wellness candle!
Episiotomy scar? Why not trim your labia too?
It’s a stitch-up. And we demand better.
As Emma was being sewn up following the birth of her second child, the midwife paused, looked up, and said the worst thing anyone has ever said to her: ‘Your vagina’s fallen out.’
After receiving a vague diagnosis of ‘prolapse’, she spent the next two years being shunted between specialists. The solutions on offer ranged from kegels to hysterectomy and even labia trimming. Some doctors simply shrugged and said there was nothing they could do.
Women around her spoke of similar experiences: mothers told that pain was the price of parenthood; trans women blamed for ‘wanting a vagina in the first place’; Black women disbelieved and dismissed; intersex men and women lied to by their doctors.
The mesh scandal that injured thousands. The ‘love doctor’ who performed nonconsensual vaginal surgeries. Over and over again, Emma heard stories of women in pain, bleeding, dying, failed by the professionals who were supposed to help them.
Medical misogyny kills, and leaves many more in agony, unable to live full lives. The Stitch-Up tells their stories, and calls for better research, healthcare options, language and treatment, arguing that being female should never be a death sentence.
The Roma: A Travelling History
The Roma is a profoundly personal portrait of a people and their on-going journey, shedding new light on their history and what it means to be Romani in Europe today. It is a history that is not widely known and understood, and that invisibility has created a space where fear and hostility continue to thrive.
Full of fascinating stories and extraordinary individuals, The Roma is a powerful corrective to the stereotyping and prejudices still faced by Romani communities. We meet the Romani artist who chronicled her experiences of the Holocaust in Austria; the boxer who should have become Germany’s light-heavyweight champion only to have his win scratched from the record by the Nazis; and a eighteenth-century Romani woman in London who was accused of kidnapping a girl and sentenced to death only to be exonerated thanks to some detective work by an unconvinced judge.
Throughout, Madeline Potter weaves in her travels though contemporary Romani Europe as well as strands of her own journey as a Romani woman in Romania and now in Britain. Deftly blending explorative history and portraits of a unique and vibrant culture with intimate accounts of racism, The Roma is a celebration of survival – of resilience and resistance in the face of prejudice and persecution.
The AI Con
Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?
The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of The AI Con make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity.
Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, The AI Con arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life.
Teoretické základy psychoanalýzy
Slavný britský psychoanalytik Wilfred Bion přirovnal psychoanalytické vědění o lidské mysli k jednomu pruhu na srsti tygra, kterého stěží můžeme vnímat a pravdivě poznat jako celek. Autorka monografie Teoretické základy psychoanalýzy se pokouší zaznamenat úsilí několika generací psychoanalytiků o nalezení „tygra“ - především o pochopení rozsáhlých oblastí lidského nevědomí přesahujících vědomou zkušenost a jejich vlivu na chování a prožívání. Všímá si posunu od „archeologického“ pátrání v hlubinách lidské psychiky k soudobému důrazu na vztahovost jako hlavní zdroj poznání i terapeutické změny a snaží se zachytit mnohovrstevnatý charakter psychoanalytických teorií. Nehodnotícím a erudovaným způsobem přináší poznatky, které zbavují psychoanalýzu různých negativních konotací, s nimiž ji laická i odborná veřejnost mnohdy spojuje.
V prvních kapitolách knihy jsou prezentována některá stěžejní témata z Freudova díla, včetně teorií psychosexuálního vývoje, narcismu, pudů, afektů či perverze. Další kapitoly jsou věnovány obranným mechanismům, Freudovým významným spolupracovníkům a hlavním směrům postfreudovské psychoanalýzy, k nimž patří psychologie Já, britská a americká škola objektních vztahů či Kohutova psychologie self. Tématem následující části publikace jsou teoretická východiska psychoanalýzy coby terapeutické metody se zaměřením na její technická pravidla, terapeutický vztah a proces. Samostatná kapitola je věnována vztahové psychoanalýze, která reflektuje postmoderní stanoviska zdůrazňující historickou, kulturní, hodnotovou a jazykovou podmíněnost poznatků společenských věd. Závěrečná část se zabývá psychoanalytickým pojetím sourozeneckých vztahů.
Komplikované psychoanalytické teorie jsou v monografii prezentovány systematicky, přehledně a čtivě. Text je doplněn četnými úryvky z primárních pramenů. Kniha je určena především studentům psychologie, antropologie, sociologie a dalších věd o člověku. Je nicméně vhodná i pro zájemce o psychoanalýzu z řad širší veřejnosti.

Shamanism
What are the origins of shamanism and what is its future? Do shamans believe in their powers? What exactly is trance? And what can we learn from indigenous healing practices?
In this enlightening book, anthropologist Manvir Singh offers a new explanation for one of the most misunderstood religious traditions. Travelling from Indonesia to the Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use and indigenous curing ceremonies, he journeys into the origins of shamanism. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realities and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism’s ubiquity stems from its psychological resonance. Its core appeal is transformation: a specialist uses initiations, deprivation and non-ordinary states to seemingly become a different kind of human, one possessed with the superpowers necessary to tame life’s uncertainty.
Following a fascinating cast of characters, Singh tells a larger story about the ancient and modern expressions of this timeless tradition. He argues that biomedicine can learn from shamanic practices, yet that psychedelic enthusiasts completely misrepresent history. He also shows that shamanic traditions will forever re-emerge – and that by journeying into humanity’s oldest spiritual practice, we come to better understand ourselves, our history and our future.
The British Imagination
From the acclaimed author of The German Genius and The French Mind, a masterful journey through 500 years of British history
The reign of Queen Elizabeth I ushered in an unprecedented age of exploration and discovery. It saw an island nation, hitherto a cultural backwater, begin for the first time to occupy a realm of innovation and imagination that had for centuries been the domain of China, India and the Arab nations of the Middle East.
With England's 'gathering greatness' asserted by a swashbuckling generation of merchant warriors and adventurers, and with the epic voyages of Magellan, Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Francis Drake charting the 'great beyond', it became clear that a fortuitous position on the edges of Europe and the Atlantic offered ever-wider imaginative horizons. Indeed, what came next is described by historian Peter Watson as 'the greatest expansion of ideas and knowledge the world has ever seen.'
The British Imagination is a lively and deeply researched history that encompasses the five centuries that formed the contemporary mindset, from Francis Bacon and the first Spectator to Mary Wollstonecraft, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, James Clerk Maxwell and Maynard Keynes; from the Royal Society to the industrial revolution; and from the first New World landings to the eventual colonization of a quarter of the world by the reign of Elizabeth II. Are we still, Watson asks, even now, living in a British 'metaphysical empire'?
Breathtaking in scope, embracing literature, science, art, religion, philosophy and politics, The British Imagination offers a captivating and stimulating insight into the most influential personalities and ideas that have made a small island what it is today.
Deep Listening
Why do so many conversations leave us feeling unheard and disconnected? Drawing on her celebrated experience as a former BBC journalist, accredited executive coach and mediator, in Deep Listening Emily Kasriel argues that it’s because we’ve forgotten how to truly listen.
Distracted by our own agenda, we so often hear without understanding, impatiently waiting for our turn to speak. In this exploration of transformational listening, Kasriel shows how shifting from surface level exchanges to deep listening can enrich our relationships as friends, parents and partners, enhance our effectiveness as leaders and strengthen the fabric of our communities.
Grounded in scientific studies, new research and powerful stories from legendary listeners in politics, business and the arts, Kasriel unveils her simple yet transformative eightstep approach. With Deep Listening as your guide, you’ll find inspiration and practical guidance on how we can better listen to each other, even when we fiercely disagree.
At once a practical guide and a heartfelt manifesto, this groundbreaking book challenges us to rethink our approach to listening and, in doing so, transform our lives from the inside out. Whether readers seek to strengthen their empathy, boost their performance at work or foster genuine understanding across cultural, political and generational divides, Deep Listening provides the tools and inspiration to unlock the power of lasting, meaningful connections.
Original Sin
The damning inside story of Joe Biden's decline while in office – and the desperate attempts of his inner circle to hide it from the American people.
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 that they embarked upon a remarkable campaign of denial and gaslighting against the American public – lying to themselves, allies, the media and voters about his true condition.
Only now is the full, unsettling truth coming to light. Here, two of America’s best-respected political journalists take us behind closed doors to reveal the extent of Biden’s decline and who knew about it, from White House staffers to senators to Hollywood celebrities. They paint President Biden’s decision to run for re-election as shockingly narcissistic, delusional and reckless – and the wider cover-up as an act of unprecedented public deception.
The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will endure for decades. In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle all but ensured it, denying the existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years. His decision to run again was the original sin of his presidency – the moment that led directly to Donald Trump’s return to power and all that has come since.
Vek revolúcií
Americký novinár Fareed Zakaria v novej knihe skúma minulé aj súčasné revolúcie definujúce polarizovanú a nestabilnú éru, v ktorej žijeme.
Populistické besnenie, ideologické nezhody, ekonomické otrasy a technologické zmeny, vojny a medzinárodný systém plný katastrofického rizika – prvé desaťročia dvadsiateho prvého storočia sú zrejme najrevolučnejším obdobím modernej histórie. No nie je to nič nové. Ľudia žili a prosperovali aj v minulosti. Aké boli revolúcie, ktoré prežili a ktoré by nám mohli pomôcť porozumieť súčasnému svetu?
Zakaria podrobne skúma historické obdobia a hnutia, ktoré formovali moderný svet, no venuje sa aj štyrom súčasným revolúciám: v ekonomike, technológiách, identite a geopolitike, ktoré napriek všetkým výhodám spôsobili nesporné trhliny v našich zvyklostiach a všadeprítomnú úzkosť. Keď sa ocitneme na dejinnej križovatke štyroch revolúcií, ktoré otriasli svetom, predstava temnej budúcnosti sa takmer nevyhnutne naplní. No ak budeme konať s rozvahou, dokážeme oživiť liberálny medzinárodný poriadok a odsunúť populizmus do zabudnutia.
