Understanding Marxism
Richard D. Wolff masterfully explains why Karl Marx’s analysis of class struggle is fundamental to a proper understanding of capitalism and explores how to build a more sustainable democratic society.Class struggle is everywhere, and it influences everything and everyone in our society. Marx is the person who first explained this struggle systematically. For Marx, capitalism signified not the end of history, but rather the latest phase of human development that leads ordinary people to rid themselves of “all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew."Marx’s theories are deeply prescient and relevant in our efforts to understand and cope with the crises of our time. Every day, we see more evidence that the capitalist system is both undermining itself and those whose labor it depends on, as Marx predicted.Understanding Marxism is an essential resource for looking at the power and usefulness of Marx’s criticism of the capitalist economic system—and how we can move beyond it to a truly sustainable and democratic society based on workers’ self-management.
24 hodin ve starověkém Římě
Nechte se pohltit rytmem města, v němž se psala historie a každý čin mohl vstoupit do legend! Poznávejte život v kypících ulicích nejslavnější metropole všech dob očima jejích obyvatel. Od otrokyně po kněžku, od prostého vozky po senátora či kupce. Ti všichni tvořili součást velkolepé kultury, která ožívá v poutavém vyprávění z pera neúnavného poopularizátora historie a odborníka na starověk Philipa Matyszaka. Příběh se odvíjí minutu za minutou a hodinu za hodinou a budete jej číst jedním dechem.
„Poutavé vyprávění na hraně literatury faktu a fikce vás vezme do antického Říma za vlády císařů a přiblíží každodenní radosti a strasti jeho obyvatel. Uvidíte, že se od těch našich zase tolik nelišily!“
Vydejte se s námi na cestu časem a prožijte celý den s obyvateli starověkého Říma v době jeho největšího územního, kulturního a civilizačního rozkvětu.
Píše se rok 137 našeho letopočtu a nad velkolepým římským impériem slunce nezapadá. Císař Hadrianus dbá o zajištění hranic, věnuje se velkolepým stavbám i rozvoji vzdělanosti. Obyčejní Římané však jen málo dbají o vojenskou slávu, monumentální architekturu nebo ušlechtilé ideály. Jejich cílem je přežít v drsném prostředí, kde každý den přináší nové nástrahy.
Poznejte Věčné město prostřednictvím pestré škály obyvatel, o nichž se v historických knihách většinou nedočtete. Každou hodinou vás provede zástupce jiné profese i společenské vrstvy, poznáte otrokyni, lazebníka, pekaře, gladiátora, senátora, ba i císařského posla.
Zjistěte, jaký trest čekal vestálku, která porušila slib cudnosti, proč astrologové nesměli předpovídat osud samotného císaře a s čím museli počítat římští školáci. Odhalte skutečnou tvář nejslavnější metropole všech dob prostřednictvím těch, kteří v ní žili, pracovali a umírali.

Zmluvná pokuta v obchodnom práve
Publikácia sa zaoberá zmluvnou pokutou, ktorá je jedným z najfrekventovanejších zabezpečovacích inštitútov v obchodnom práve. Problematika zmluvnej pokuty je síce spracovaná s prioritným akcentom na obchodné vzťahy, ale všade tam, kde je to potrebné, autorka upozorňuje na rozdielnosť právnej úpravy, jej výklad a aplikáciu v občianskom práve. Publikácia ponúka pohľad na teoretickú podstatu, právnu úpravu, jej výklad a aplikáciu inštitútu zmluvnej pokuty, a to aj v konfrontácii s judikatórnym vývojom v týchto otázkach. Spojenie uvedených pohľadov je pozitívne pre pochopenie tak významného a bohato využívaného inštitútu, akým je zmluvná pokuta. Môže byť inšpiráciou aj pri príprave rekodifikácie občianskeho práva.
Autorka v práci zohľadnila mnohé nielen teoretické poznatky, ale aj praktické skúsenosti z aplikačnej praxe, ktoré získala počas svojho dlhodobého záujmu o komplexný pohľad na zmluvnú pokutu. Z tohto aspektu sú potom inšpirujúce aj širšie súvislosti výkladu a aplikácie inštitútu zmluvnej pokuty.
Vybrané druhy akcionárskych dohôd, 2. vydanie
Akcionárska dohoda je zmluvou a ako taká predstavuje obligačný nástroj regulácie vzťahov spoločníkov v rámci korporácie. Téma akcionárskych dohôd je vskutku široká, preto sa pozornosť autora zameriava na skúmanie vybraných druhov akcionárskych dohôd v prostredí tzv. uzatvorených kapitálových spoločností a startupových spoločností. Akcionárske dohody majú v podmienkach uzatvorenej kapitálovej spoločnosti a start-upovej spoločnosti (najmä v porovnaní s napr. kótovanými spoločnosťami) azda najširšie a najkomplexnejšie možnosti využitia pre reguláciu vzájomných vzťahov spoločníkov vyplývajúcich z ich účasti na spoločnosti. Umožňujú spoločníkom nespoliehať sa pri úprave týchto práv a povinností výlučne na normy korporačného práva. Akcionárske dohody dokážu chrániť záujmy a postavenie spoločníkov, čím pomáhajú prekonávať bariéry spojené s investovaním do týchto spoločností. Publikácia sa zameriava len na vybrané druhy akcionárskych dohôd. Konkrétne ide o právo pridať sa k prevodu akcií (tag-along právo), právo požadovať prevod akcií (drag-along právo), právo požadovať nadobudnutie akcií (shoot-out právo), predkupné právo a anti-dilučné právo. Uvedená publikácia je určená najmä advokátom a právnikom pôsobiacich v obchodných spoločnostiach; nájde však aj širšie využitie, či už to budú začínajúci podnikatelia, alebo každý kto sa o problematiku akcionárskych dohôd zaujíma.
Understanding Socialism
Socialism is a yearning for justice, community, and the greater realization of human potential. Cornel West calls it “the best accessible and reliable treatment we have of what socialism is, was, and should be.”Understanding Socialism is a plainspoken text that disarms false narratives, confronts past failures, and offers a path to a fresh and modern understanding of socialism, by outlining what democracy in the workplace could look like.Wolff not only explains what socialism is and has meant to its various proponents, he also looks at the transition from feudalism to capitalism as a model to help us visualize an evolution from our current socioeconomic state.Understanding Socialism explores how socialist theory was used and applied to help shape the histories of countries such as Russia and China, and beyond. Wolff also analyzes the successes and defeats of those countries, the world''s reactions to them, and how they offer important lessons for the building of a democratic, worker-controlled 21st-century socialism.
Understanding Capitalism
“Why does capitalism fail us?” Richard D. Wolff walks readers through this pressing question in a brilliant takedown of an economic system that benefits the few at the great expense of the many.Understanding Capitalism explores the different definitions of what capitalism is and is not, and dissolves the many myths that, Wolff argues, are designed to confuse and disorient us. Wolff doesn’t simply identify the crises and harms manufactured by capitalism, he details a path forward by outlining alternative economic models that combat the exploitation and oppression inherent in capitalism.Capitalism oftentimes feels as permanent as the sky above. Understanding Capitalism shows that our current economic system is only as strong as the ordinary people who enable its existence, and that capitalism’s demise requires an organized, collective effort by those who can identify its vulnerabilities and limitations, but also understand that another world is indeed possible.
Artificial Intelligence, Society and Religion
Humans derive information from a complex natural and social environment, learn from experience, create tools, adapt to change, plan actions, act in a critical and rational manner, and formulate concrete and abstract ideas. In other words, humans have intelligence. A machine that displays some or all of these characteristics has artificial intelligence (AI). Attempts to create AI systems have a long history. Yet, AI systems emerged hardly a decade ago. Since then, AI has developed remarkable capabilities. Modern AI platforms and AI-powered robots can, among other things, converse, give erudite lectures, write essays and advertising material, create images and videos, drive cars and guide drones, initiate and conduct science research, diagnose and make treatments plans for sick individuals, and so on. The impact of AI is evident in virtually all fields of human activity. The rapid pace of AI has stirred debate on whether it will not only induce mass unemployment, inequality and a major social crisis but also that one day, sentient artificial beings smarter than humans will take over the world. RELIGION, SOCIETY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE has three basic aims. One, it provides an accessible description of AI, its capabilities and its advantages and disadvantages. Two, it explores the societal implications of the increasing AI penetration into different facets of life. Three, it looks at the confluence of AI, social factors and religion in general terms and for specific religions, that is, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Secularism. This book inquires: Are religion and AI compatible at the philosophical, ethical and spiritual levels? If it comes about, can sentient AI have a soul or join a religion? Are the societal roles of religion and AI complimentary or conflicting? Are the institutions, leaders and laity of the varied religions embracing or rejecting AI? What are the implications of AI being used for conducting prayers, and facilitating other religious activities? Can religion and AI be harnessed to jointly deal with the major problems like climate change, unequal education, poverty and war facing humanity today? Building on the foundation laid in the earlier three books in this series, these issues are tackled in an interdisciplinary, historical and widely accessible manner. In particular, the exposition is cognizant of the fact that modern religions and AI systems function in the context of the global neoliberal system and, in practice, reflect the values of that system. Technical material relating to AI is kept to a minimum.

Why Do I Keep Doing This?
Many of us were told to stuff our feelings down when we were younger. We were taught that our emotional reactions should be controlled so we didn''t embarrass or upset our parents. However, if that control oozes over into our adult relationships, it''s considered a bad thing. Controlling our friends or romantic partners is seen as toxic. Some sides of control are meant to keep us safe, while others harm connections. So, what are we supposed to do?In Why Do I Keep Doing This? licensed therapist Kati Morton explores this common struggle. She shows how our anxiety is often connected to feeling like we are too much or less deserving of time and care. Difficulties with asserting ourselves, or taking what we require, can harm our development and we sometimes think the only way to feel okay is to please everyone else first. Why Do I Keep Doing This? is a vital tool in helping us understand why control can be so attractive, but if left unmonitored can become detrimental to our lives. We all go through tough times, but we have to notice what behaviours are holding us back and change them.Why Do I Keep Doing This? will shed light on shared struggles as readers follow Kati through key points of growth in her own life, while incorporating what she has learned as a therapist and content creator who knows how to create lasting healthy change. This book will give readers the ability to not only ask themselves why do I keep doing this? but also have the insight to find a real answer.

Hour of the Heart
One of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time offers a deeply moving chronicle of the challenges and breakthroughs that come from a wholly new practice of one-time-only therapy sessions.
Facing memory loss at age ninety-three as well as the fallout from a global pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin D. Yalom was forced to revolutionise his practice. Rather than rail against these changes, Dr Yalom turned his focus to what might be achieved between patient and practitioner in just a one-hour, one-time-only meeting.
In Hour of the Heart, Yalom recounts some of these intense, life-changing sessions, exploring an array of human predicaments and his own late-career development as a therapist. In recounting these consultations, he shows how a therapist's willingness to be open helps patients let down their own guards, leading to a deeper and more immediate connection - one necessary to achieving profound realisations in just sixty minutes.
Written in collaboration with his son, Hour of the Heart shows us how to relate to each other, with more honesty and vulnerability. That hour of connection helped to sustain both patient and therapist, and enriched Yalom's vision of what psychotherapy can do.
Marginality
In a deeply unequal world, numerous categories of people have been consigned to disadvantaged positions. Are those on society’s fringes doomed to remain there, or might marginality offer potential pathways toward a more equitable futur? his groundbreaking book reimagines marginality as a transformative force, interweaving personal narratives with cultural, literary, and philosophical analysis to reveal how perspectives from the margins can catalyze social change. Drawing on her own experiences as an Asian American female philosopher specializing in non-Western thought within an academic world dominated by white male–centered Western traditions, Jin Y. Park argues that personal stories are essential to philosophical inquiry. Ranging across non-Western philosophy, South Korean literature, and Asian American and African American voices as well as Western philosophy, she invites readers to examine their own feelings of marginality, reflecting on how lived experiences shape the search for meaning and values. Bridging theoretical insights and real-world issues, Marginality offers fresh perspective on contemporary challenges such as violence, social discrimination, and economic inequality. Urging a radical rethinking of how we understand power, community, and social justice, this book calls on readers to embrace the solidarity of the margins to drive positive change.
Growing Up Pure
Takes seriously youths' ownership of their sexual choices within purity cultureGaining mass popularity in the mid-1990s with the True Love Waits rally on the Washington Mall, purity culture began as an urge from evangelical conservatives for Christian adolescents to publicly commit to practicing abstinence until marriage. Throughout this decade and the next, millions of evangelical teenagers performed their commitment to sexual purity by signing pledges and wearing purity rings. This book examines the shaping of purity culture in the United States, looking specifically at the experiences of white youth. It shows that white girls and white queer youth were vulnerable to the purity movement, but that they were also complicit in its white supremacist oppressive structure. It makes the case that purity culture follows in the footsteps of other purity movements in the United States, and is very much tied to centuries of anti-Black racism and xenophobia in US social history, seeing white youth as in need of protection, usually from a racialized, sexualized other. While other works have focused on the ways in which purity culture has victimized young people, Sawyer argues that their perceived status as victims lets them too easily off the hook. White youth have been afforded the privilege of participating in purity culture's harmful behaviors without being called to account. Closely reading adolescents' stories of growing up in purity culture, she uncovers youth as agents, participants, and beneficiaries of its white supremacist framing, even as they were still vulnerable to its harmful teachings.
A.N.G.E.R.
What insights might your anger be prepared to reveal? A.N.G.E.R. serves as a comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to channel frustration into insight, influence, and substantive impact without resorting to outbursts or experiencing burnout. Anger is often pushed aside, misinterpreted, or suppressed in today's world of constant pressures and emotional challenges. Yet, anger can be a powerful asset. This book shows how self-coaching techniques can help you become your own personal scientist, using anger to become more resilient, gain clearer insight, and promote significant changes.
Imagine Doing Better
A bold vision for reimagining harmful public policies through prevention. Public policies in the United States are built on certain assumptions: that long-term prison sentences deter crime, that corporate profits benefit everyone, that police are the best way to ensure safety, and that meritocracy ensures equal opportunity. Yet, as public health expert Paul J. Fleming reveals, mountains of evidence show that many of these widely accepted policies cause harm, perpetuate inequities, and even lead to premature death. In Imagine Doing Better, Fleming offers a bold vision for change that's rooted in public health principles of prevention—addressing problems at their root before they occur. Combining rigorous research, historical analysis, and compelling narratives, he examines the deep flaws in policies governing health care, education, justice, and the environment. Fleming unpacks how these systems were built, why harmful assumptions persist, and how they can be reimagined to promote equity, sustainability, and human dignity. Fleming challenges readers to rethink entrenched ideas by exploring thought-provoking questions like "Are prisons a good investment?" and "Is education a ladder or a sieve?". He highlights how budgets and policies reflect moral choices, and he provides frameworks for advocacy and policymaking grounded in evidence and fairness. Fleming paints a hopeful—yet urgent—picture of what's possible when societies invest in solutions that prioritize human dignity, equity, and sustainability. Accessible and inspiring, Imagine Doing Better offers a hopeful roadmap to a future where all communities have the resources and opportunities to thrive.

The Worst Day
Dedicated to first responders and every person who steps up to act when it matters... More than 40 years before a Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with American Airlines Flight 5342 over the Potomac River, a desperate race against time took place nearby in overwhelming conditions. Washington, DC, was in the grips of a historic snowstorm on January 13, 1982 that gridlocked the city when Air Florida 90 crashes into a bridge jammed with traffic and plunges into the iced-over Potomac River. 6 people survive the crash, clinging to wreckage in the icy river as a Park Police helicopter risks a daring rescue in nearly whiteout conditions. As the rescue is taking place, DC''s Metro system suffers its first fatal derailment nearby, with dozens injured. In this page-turning drama, journalist and former firefighter/EMT Bruce Goldfarb recreates the harrowing struggles for survival and acts of incredible courage. Told through the eyes of survivors, firefighters, police, and bystanders, many of whom have never before shared their stories, Goldfarb explores the day''s impact on these participants as well as on the resulting aviation and transit safety measures that have protected us over the decades.
