How Humor Helps
The judicious use of humor is often cited as the reason a new relationship began. It is also frequently recognized as the reason it has lasted. People like to be with others who make them laugh and who, in turn, enjoy their own humorous comments. Humor is an effective tool in nearly all settings, from formal interactions in the workplace to casual exchanges with strangers. How Humor Helps? informs its readers how to determine what is funny and what is not. Complicating the picture is that the appropriate use of humor has recently changed drastically in terms of topics and language. This book emphasizes the positive values of humor in many areas of life and how to deliver it effectively. Based on the scientific literature, the views of professional comedians, and our awareness of cultural changes, the autho? recommendations are all designed to affect major personal benefits to the reader. Maybe greater longevity, too, as the latest evidence is that strong social connections, facilitated by clever humor, actually can make people happier, self-confident, and even physically healthier. This book stresses the value of using humor in most areas of your life and how to do it successfully to garner the greatest benefits.
Telling Tales
Telling Tales explores the lived experiences of Christian women, parish clerics, and church officials in Italy during the later Middle Ages through one previously unpublished historical source – a register prepared in 1421/1422 for a Dominican inquisitor in the northern Italian city of Ferrara that includes interrogations about the lives, work, and domestic arrangements of otherwise-obscure women. The book provides both a translation of the source from the original Latin and a critical examination of its content from two distinct analytical perspectives. Cossar and Brown also illuminate the workings of an inquisitorial investigation, with details about how the inquisitor gathered information and worked both with, and against, other local authorities. Telling Tales invites readers to explore the tools of the historian's craft, illustrating how different analytical approaches to the same historical source can yield rich – and sometimes contradictory – conclusions.
Laws of the Land
A groundbreaking history of fengshui’s roles in public life and law during China’s last imperial dynastyToday the term fengshui, which literally means “wind and water,” is recognized around the world. Yet few know exactly what it means, let alone its fascinating history. In Laws of the Land, Tristan Brown tells the story of the important roles—especially legal ones—played by fengshui in Chinese society during China’s last imperial dynasty, the Manchu Qing (1644–1912).Employing archives from Mainland China and Taiwan that have only recently become available, this is the first book to document fengshui’s invocations in Chinese law during the Qing dynasty. Facing a growing population, dwindling natural resources, and an overburdened rural government, judicial administrators across China grappled with disputes and petitions about fengshui in their efforts to sustain forestry, farming, mining, and city planning. Laws of the Land offers a radically new interpretation of these legal arrangements: they worked. An intelligent, considered, and sustained engagement with fengshui on the ground helped the imperial state keep the peace and maintain its legitimacy, especially during the increasingly turbulent decades of the nineteenth century. As the century came to an end, contentious debates over industrialization swept across the bureaucracy, with fengshui invoked by officials and scholars opposed to the establishment of railways, telegraphs, and foreign-owned mines.Demonstrating that the only way to understand those debates and their profound stakes is to grasp fengshui’s longstanding roles in Chinese public life, Laws of the Land rethinks key issues in the history of Chinese law, politics, science, religion, and economics.
A Csimpánzparadoxon
Előfordul, hogy érzelmi alapon döntesz? Gyorsan reagálsz, és később megbánod a viselkedésedet?
Ha igen, ez a könyv neked szól!
Prof. Peters elmélete szerint agyunkban egyszerre két ,,erő" szabályozza, hogyan döntünk és viselkedünk: az egyik érzelmi, irracionális alapon működik (ez evolúciós örökségünk), ő a Csimpánz; a másik racionális, logikai alapon, ő az Ember. Ők ketten folyamatosan harcolnak az irányításért. Belső Csimpánzunk a legjobb barátunk, de a halálos ellenségünk is lehet. Ez az, amit a szerző csimpánzparadoxonnak hív. Életed sikeres irányítása, a jó döntés, az eredményesség és a siker (szakmai téren és magánéletben egyaránt) mind-mind azon múlik, hogy képes vagy-e kezelni a benned élő Csimpánzot, azaz érzelmeidet, indulataidat, ösztöneidet, félelmeidet vagy a stresszhelyzeteket.
A gördülékeny stílusú, világos szerkezetű könyv interaktív jellegű: kérdések és gyakorlatok sorozata segít feltárni problémáidat és választ találni rájuk.
The Lost Road
In this genre defying book, author Sean McGrath explains why we must look more closely at our secular society’s religious roots to counteract the destructive spiritual forces consumerism has unleashed on the earth. Modernity, the author argues, is a Christian heresy. It can only be corrected through a religious conversion of Christians, post-Christians, and their children. What must be recovered is Christianity’s contemplative and mystical attitude — but it must be recovered in a non-nostalgic way that moves forward into the ecological civilization that is coming to painful birth in our time. The Lost Road is, in part, an autobiographical narrative that recounts a life-long search for contemplative Christianity, as well as an ongoing interrogation into why it’s so difficult to find, sustain, and share.
Regressive Illusions
Illusions are part of our everyday lives -?but it depends what kind of illusions are navigating us through our predicaments. Drawing on insights from critical theory and psychoanalysis, Florian Maiwald explores how multiple interconnected challenges force us to confront the illusions sustaining our societal norms. Maiwald argues that as collective illusions of progress crumble, we are not responding with innovative solutions but retreating into what he terms 'regressive illusions': backward-looking fantasies that quite often masquerade as progressive ideals. These illusions lead us not towards a brighter future but back into the shadows of the past. This book critically examines various manifestations of these regressive tendencies, including the rise of far-right politics, the contradictions of 'woke capitalism,'?and the decay of utopian thinking in the age of AI. Maiwald weaves together insights from philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis to expose the underlying mechanisms of our current social and political malaise. More than a mere critique, Regressive Illusion? dvocates for understanding the necessity of certain illusions while calling for a renewed capacity for critical thinking in the face of crisis.
Neviditeľní vládcovia
Kniha Neviditeľní vládcovia rozpráva o radikálnej premene moci a o nových silách vplývajúcich na politické dianie, fungovanie samospráv, ale aj na naše vzťahy s priateľmi a susedmi. Dnes už verejnú mienku čoraz viac formujú malé skupiny propagandistov – tí neraz určujú aj to, ako vnímame samotnú pravdu. Naša spoločná realita sa rozpadla na množstvo oddelených svetov šitých na mieru, ktoré poháňajú algoritmy, influenceri a starostlivo vyberaný obsah. Len máločo dokáže preklenúť tieto priepasti, a tak sa stáva takmer nemožným dosiahnuť demokratický konsenzus.
Renée DiResta odhaľuje, ako títo „neviditeľní vládcovia“ podkopávajú inštitúcie, na ktorých stojí spoločnosť, či sú to protiočkovací aktivisti, ktorí zaplavujú sociálne siete extrémnymi názormi, alebo influenceri, ktorí využívajú fotografie generované umelou inteligenciou na manipuláciu nášho vnímania reality. Čitateľom zároveň ponúka novú predstavu občianskej zodpovednosti, ktorá nám pomáha pochopiť tieto skryté sily a brániť sa proti nim.

Winning the Earthquake
The first major biography of Jeannette Rankin, a groundbreaking suffragist, activist, and the first American woman to hold federal office.?Few members of Congress have ever stood more alone while being true to a higher honor and loyalty.??President John F. Kennedy on Jeannette RankinBorn on a Montana ranch in 1880, Jeannette Rankin knew how to drive a tractor, ride a horse, make a fire, and read the sky for weather. But most of all, she knew how to talk to people, how to convince them of her vision for America. It was this rare skill that led her, in 1916, to become the first woman ever elected to the House of Representatives.As her first act, Rankin introduced the legislation that would become the 19th Amendment. Throughout her two terms in 1916 and 1940, she continued to introduce and pass legislation benefitting unions, protecting workers, and increasing aid for children in poverty. In 1941, she stood tall as the sole anti-war voice in Congress during WWII, advocating for pacifism in the face of tragedy and stating that you can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.A suffragist, feminist, peace activist, workers'' rights advocate, progressive, and Republican, Rankin remained ever true to her beliefs?no matter the price she had to pay personally. Yet, despite the momentous steps she made for women in politics, overcoming the boys club of capitalists and career politicians who never wanted to see a woman in Congress, Jeannette Rankin?s story has been largely forgotten. In Winning the Earthquake, Lorissa Rinehart deftly uncovers the compelling history behind this singular American hero, bringing her story back to life.
Pharmako - Poeia, Dynamis, Gnosis
Pharmako je aktualizovaná kultovní knižní trilogie pro „rostlinné lidi“, kteří zde najdou nádhernou tapisérii botaniky, odborné chemie, farmakologie a historie, bohatě protkanou básnickou imaginací, sugestivní směsí logiky a mytologickou tradicí. Nebo jinak. Alchymistické pojednání psané člověkem, jenž se sám vydal na „cestu jedů“, a čtenáři tak předkládá prožitý a tajuplný svět rostlin a látek měnících lidské vědomí. Ještě jinak. Postmoderní čtení pro všechny ty, jimž učaroval např. Terence McKenna a kteří pokračují stále dále. Že by… Struktura knihy je třírozměrná a holografická. Začněte odkudkoli. Čtěte ji pozpátku. Knihy jsou od přirozenosti lineární, ale to je pouze jeden z možných pohledů — jiná propojení mohou být mnohem smysluplnější. Hm… „Cesta jedů“ není cesta pro každého, čtenář v knize nabyde „nebezpečné znalosti“, ty jsou však bezpečnější, než „nebezpečná neznalost“. Nakonec vám nezbyde, než se zamyslet nad otázkou propojení stimulantů a kapitalismu. Co? Ale jak říkal kdysi už Paracelsus „Všechno je jed, Nic je jed. Záleží na množství. Dílem alchymisty ale je, oddělit jed od stromu poznání“.
V první knize Pharmako/Poeia se dočtete o rostlinných spojencích rozdělených do skupin thanatopatika (Tabák, Jedovatice), inebrianty (Kvasinky, Pivo, Víno, Alkohol, Éter), rapsodika (Pelyněk » Calea), euforika (Mák, Opium, Heroin), pacifika (Kava kava), existenty (Šalvěj), evaestetika (Konopí) a metafyzika (Rajský plyn). Přistup, můj jede…
Ve druhé knize Pharmako/Dynamis se dočtete se o stimulantech, resp. excitantech (Káva, Čaj, Kakao, Maté, Kola, Betel, Efedra, Kata, Koka, Amfetamin) a empatogenech (Muškát, Extáze, GHB). Čekal jsem něco jiného…
Ve třetí knize Pharmako/Gnosis se dočtete o látkách zvaných fantastika (Povijnice, Lysohlávky, LSD, Jerlín, Peyotl, San Pedro, Ayahuasca, Jurema, Harmala, Ropuchy, Tryptaminy, DMT) a daimonika (Durman, Elementálové, Ketamin, Muchomůrka, Iboga). Je to taková nevyřčená věc…
Nakonec vám nezbyde, než se zamyslet nad něčím, co je za slovy: Zdá se, že Realita má nějakou hlubší strukturu, která má něco společného spíš s časem než se slovy.
A Dream Deferred
Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip. Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organising the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition - one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris. With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon.
Beyond Brutality
A feminist reading of one of the most troubling tractates of the Talmud. Beyond Brutality draws on feminist analysis and gender studies to examine tractate Sotah of the Babylonian Talmud as a literary unit. By interrogating how, why, and where women are invisible within Bavli Sotah, Jane Kanarek brings to light a ubiquitous female presence throughout the text. Despite the brutality of the sotah ritual—in which the woman accused of adultery is put through a divine ordeal intended to reveal her innocence or her guilt—this book demonstrates that Bavli Sotah is not primarily concerned with describing the sotah ritual or establishing male control over women. Instead, Bavli Sotah becomes a pedagogical text in which the sotah is secondary to moral and sinning men. As the sotah herself fades into the background, the sotah ritual nevertheless overflows its boundaries and weaves its way through a range of other topics within the tractate. In the process, Bavli Sotah teaches its audience who transmits and how one transmits rabbinic culture.

Realm of Ice and Sky
Arctic explorer and American visionary Walter Wellman pioneered both polar and trans-Atlantic airship aviation, making history’s first attempts at each. Wellman has been cast as a self-promoting egomaniac known mostly for his catastrophic failures. Instead he was a courageous innovator who pushed the boundaries of polar exploration and paved the way for the ultimate conquest of the North Pole - which would be achieved not by dogsled or airplane, but by airship. American explorer Dr. Frederick Cook was the first to claim he made it to the North Pole in 1908. A year later, so did American Robert Peary, but both Cook’s and Peary’s claims had been seriously questioned. There was enough doubt that Norwegian explorer extraordinaire Roald Amundsen - who’d made history and a name for himself by being first to sail through the Northwest Passage and first man to the South Pole - picked up where Walter Wellman left off, attempting to fly to the North Pole by airship. He would go in the Norge, designed by Italian aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile. The 350-foot Norge flew over the North Pole on May 12, 1926, and Amundsen was able to accurately record and verify their exact location. However, the engineer Nobile felt slighted by Amundsen. Two years later, Nobile returned, this time in the Italia, backed by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. This was an Italian enterprise, and Nobile intended to win back the global accolades and reputation he believed Amundsen had stripped from him. The journey ended in disaster, death, and accusations of cannibalism, launching one of the great rescue operations the world had ever seen. Realm of Ice and Sky is the riveting tale of the men who first flew the most advanced technological airships of their time to the top of the world, risking and even giving their lives for science, country, and polar immortality.
