Historie katetrizací srdce


Katetrizace srdce dnes patří k nejčastějším výkonům v kardiologii – jen málokdo však zná jejich dramatickou a často dobrodružnou historii. Prof. Michael Aschermann provází čtenáře cestou od prvních pokusů se zaváděním kanyl do žilního systému až po moderní intervence v koronárních tepnách, strukturálních srdečních vadách a arytmologii. Kniha oživuje příběhy světových průkopníků i osobností české kardiologie, připomíná náš podíl na rozvoji koronárních intervencí a mapuje současnou síť katetrizačních pracovišť v České republice. Zachycuje nejen technický pokrok, ale také atmosféru jednotlivých období – od pionýrských experimentů přes dobu „heroických“ výkonů až po dnešní vysoce standardizovanou péči. V textu se prolínají historická fakta s osobními vzpomínkami autora a jeho současníků, což dává knize výjimečně živý a čtivý charakter. „Historie katetrizací srdce“ je průvodcem pro všechny, kdo v katetrizačních sálech pracují dnes – a chtějí vědět, na jaké tradici jejich každodenní praxe stojí. Zároveň osloví i studenty medicíny a všechny zájemce o medicínu, kteří chtějí nahlédnout do zákulisí jednoho z největších příběhů moderní kardiologie.

Filozofie na počátku 21.století - 1.část


Stephen Hawking napsal, že filozofové se do teoretické fyziky nemohou plést, protože nestačí sledovat nejnovější trendy v tomto oboru. Při tom konstatoval, že podle Ludwiga Wittgensteina nezbývá filozofii než zabývat se rozborem jazyka. To má být ústup od stoletých tradic filozofie od Aristotela až po Kanta. Autor této knihy se snaží dokázat, že se oba pánové ve svých názorech mýlí. Filozofie je matkou všech věd. Historicky se jednotlivé vědy z filozofie postupem doby oddělovaly. V současnosti je úkolem filozofie dohlížet na to, zda nezbloudily a zda nesledují jiný cíl než odhalovat pravdu o objektivní realitě.

Kin


Discover a transformative reframing of intimate relationships with practical steps to build community and combat the loneliness epidemic in this bold and warmhearted blend of memoir and social science in the vein of When You Care and Big Friendship. Doesn’t it seem like there simply isn’t enough time to take care of ourselves, our families, and our to do lists? Even when we’re partnered and surrounded by friends, we’re often too afraid of burdening others to ask for help. So how do we survive today’s age of overwork and stress, and who can we turn to for the support we need to stay afloat? Now, writer and cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson offers a radical answer to our age of overwhelm in Kin. With richly reported stories and insights from psychology and sociology, Lucido Johnson explores the importance of our closest relationships (beyond the nuclear family) and provides the tools to forge kinship: relationships built on emotional support, physical care, and shared resources. From asking for help on a grocery run, to choosing to have roommates later in life to combat loneliness, to living in modern day “mommunes” of single mothers sharing bills and responsibilities, Kin shows the vast range of kinship structures she and others are thriving in—and how to build your own community of support.

This instant New York Times bestselling political book is “an essential companion for anyone who suspects that politics is in fact for everyone, and that the time to put skin in the game is right now” (Dahlia Lithwick, New York Times bestselling author)—from viral TikTok sensation PoliticsGirl. Something’s gone wrong in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We can all feel it, but if we’re being honest, most of us don’t understand it. At the end of the day, we don’t have all the facts, and if you don’t know how something works, how do you fix it? A Return to Common Sense is an “accessible and urgent” (Kirkus Reviews), dare we say fun, guide to how America works and a roadmap to reclaiming a government of, by, and for the people. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and pursuit of happiness—we can’t just give up on it now. To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers Six American Principles, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America, America. 1. America is a land of freedom. 2. Everyone should have the opportunity to rise. 3. Every citizen should have a vote, and that vote should count. 4. Representatives should represent the people who elected them. 5. The law applies to all of us. 6. Government should be a force for good. Using the Six Principles as guideposts, this book lays out suggestions for America, to not only find its way out of the mess it’s currently in, but to set a course for a future of which we can all be truly proud.

Z Generation


A disturbing portrait of the fascist youth movements warping Russian society and politics.How did Vladimir Putin win Russians’ support for his genocidal war in Ukraine and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, bottom-up narrative reveals the dark realities of youth fascism in Russia—and the darker future awaiting the country if that hold cannot be broken.Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men urge citizens to join the cause. State television terrifies viewers with false tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where pretence and broken promises are a way of life, and an apocalyptic mindset is seizing tomorrow’s Russians.As compelling as it is chilling, Z Generation shows how Russia has ended up here, and where its young people may be headed: a fascist generation more violent and ideological than anything the country has seen before.

Midnight Flyboys


The untold history of a top-secret operation in the run-up to D-Day in which American flyers and Allied spies carried out some of the most daring cloak-and-dagger operations of World War II.In 1943, the OSS—precursor to the CIA—came up with a plan to increase its support to the French resistance forces that were fighting the Nazis. To start, the OSS recruited some of the best American bomber pilots and crews to a secret airfield twenty miles west of London and briefed them on the intended mission. Given a choice to stay or leave, every airman volunteered for what became known as Operation Carpetbagger. Their dangerous plan called for a new kind of flying: taking their B-24 Liberator bombers in the middle of the night across the English Channel and down to extremely low altitudes in Nazi-occupied France to find drop zones in dark fields. On the ground, resistance members waited to receive steel containers filled with everything from rifles and hand grenades to medicine and bicycle tires. Some nights, the flyers also dropped Allied secret agents by parachute to assist the French partisans. Though their story remained classified for more than fifty years, the Carpetbaggers ultimately received a Presidential Unit Citation from the US military, which declared: “it is safe to say that no group of this size has made a greater contribution to the war effort.” Along with other members of the wartime OSS, they were also awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Based on exclusive research and interviews, the definitive story of these heroic flyers—and of the brave secret agents and resistance leaders they aided—can now be told. Written in Bruce Henderson’s “spellbinding” (USA TODAY) prose, Midnight Flyboys is an astonishing tale of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice.

Releasing our Burdens


‘Trauma can cause our parts to take on burdens. Yet, when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening’A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true selfWhen we focus only on our own trauma, we cannot see how other types of trauma – ancestral, cultural, social, and spiritual – contribute to our present pain and suffering.

In this powerful collaboration, Richard Schwartz – creator of Internal Family Systems – and fellow trauma expert Thomas Hübl expand the map of healing. Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you. Using an integrative approach, the authors will not only help you understand the roots of your trauma, but offer you the practical tools to end the cycle of harm for good.

Průvodce povstaleckou Prahou (Svazek I.+ Svazek II.)


V roce 2025 si připomínáme osmdesáté výročí konce druhé světové války a s ním spojeného Pražského povstání. V něm se od 5. do 9. května 1945 utkali civilisté, z nichž mnozí neměli možnost projít základním vojenským výcvikem, s přesilou dobře vyzbrojených a vycvičených německých jednotek. Dodnes lze narazit na pamětní desky či pomníčky tam, kde lidé bránící své město položili život. Kniha provádí čtenáře místy, kde se odehrávaly důležité boje či události úzce spojené s přípravou nebo průběhem povstání v hlavním městě. Kromě osudů přímých bojovníků jsou v knize připomínáni i lidé, kteří se v nesprávnou chvíli ocitli na nesprávném místě a stali se oběťmi bombardování Prahy či řádění esesmanů. Hlavním cílem je zaznamenat co nejvíce informací o konkrétních bojovnících, kteří si i po osmi desítkách let zaslouží naši nezměrnou úctu a obdiv.

Paleolit českých zemí


Ve strategickém prostoru uprostřed Evropy se během několika statisíciletí a na pozadí proměnlivého klimatu střetávaly migrace lidských populací, probíhaly závěrečné etapy biologické evoluce, střídaly se technologické inovace a umělecké styly. Tyto události nemusely být méně dramatické než ty, o nichž se dočítáme v pozdějších kronikách a dokumentech. Kniha ojedinělým způsobem propojuje výsledky přírodovědných disciplín a české archeologie paleolitu. Tým spoluautorů vedený Jiřím A. Svobodou předkládá nové výsledky průzkumů, které na toto téma u nás proběhly. K oblasti Moravy a Slezska nově připojuje také Čechy. Českým čtenářům se vůbec poprvé dostává do rukou práce takového formátu a zaměření. Text glosuje, případně aktualizuje starší, a proto již zaběhaná klišé z pohledu současné vědy a soudobých znalostí.

Awakening Creativity


This inspirational and transformational guide invites readers on a sacred pilgrimage to connect with their inner creativity. Each chapter focuses on the lessons of a different creative “temple.” Readers will learn to embrace and heal their relationship with creativity through reflections and exercises throughout.   Do you hear the call to creativity? Some of us yearn to paint, draw, sculpt, sing, or dance but won’t try for fear of failing. Others were once artists but stopped creating after their work was shamed by others, which caused a creativity wound.   In Awakening Creativity, author, artist, and creativity coach Carrie Schmitt invites you on a sacred pilgrimage to heal your wounds and unlock your creative potential. In each chapter, you will travel to a different “temple,” exploring a creative theme through stories of famous artists and spiritual traditions from around the world. Every stop on your journey includes exercises and reflections designed to deepen your connection with your inner artist. As you travel, you will create your own guidebook, which will become a treasured collection of devotional readings, blessings, artwork, and the revelations you experience along the way.   Many of us have at some time or another said, “I’m just not that creative.” Schmitt fervently believes that this is not true. There is a creative spirit in everyone, just waiting to be acknowledged. With Awakening Creativity, you can learn to embrace yours.

Where The Hell Have You Been?


''A terrific read'' Andy McNabIn November 1942, two nights after the Battle of El Alamein, a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich. This gripping story tells of Richard''s internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a gruelling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardised not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him. In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, ''Where the hell have you been?''This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valour in the service of a cause greater than themselves.''Riveting and remarkable'' Ben Macintyre, author of Operation Mincemeat ''This account is a gem. It reminds one of the gallantry and devotion to duty of a generation that has left us.'' Patrick Cordingley, Commander of the Desert Rats, Iraq, 1991Where the Hell Have You Been? provides a completely new way of seeing the prickly old warrior, Monty'' The Daily Telegraph

The Apothecary's Wife


The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments – and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century.Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today’s global for-profit medication system.A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary’s Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine’s values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.
