Roman Infantry Helmets
This study investigates the development, manufacture, decoration and use of the Roman infantry helmet, a vital piece of personal protection equipment of both legionary and auxiliary troops. The protective headgear worn by Roman foot soldiers of the Republican period was adopted directly from the Etruscans, who had in turn adapted helmets from neighbouring European cultures within and beyond the Italian peninsula. In this study, a renowned authority explains how its form remained largely unchanged until the Late Republic, when contact and conflict with a wider variety of cultures introduced new influences. The dynamic forces at work during civil wars and transition from the Republic to the Principate at the end of the 1st century BC saw a whole range of types introduced which then evolved until new influences prompted further changes. M.C. Bishop shows how this culminated in contact with Eastern cultures leading to completely new types being introduced, which simplified manufacture and led to a variety of post-Roman helmet types. Many new finds have ensured that much has changed in the narrative of Roman helmets in recent scholarship and the time is ripe for this accessible examination of the development, manufacture and use of the Roman infantry helmet. The text is complemented by carefully chosen illustrations, many in colour, and eight plates of specially commissioned artwork.

Debts Unpaid
Power struggles between debtors and creditors about unpaid debts have animated the history of economic transformation from the emergence of capitalist relations to the recent global financial crashes. Illuminating how ordinary people fought for economic justice in Mexico from the eve of independence to the early 2000s, this study argues that conflicts over small-scale debts were a stress test for an emerging economic order that took shape against a backdrop of enormous political and social change. Drawing on nearly 1,500 debt conflicts unearthed from Mexican archives, Louise E. Walker explores rapidly changing ideas and practices about property rights, contract law, and economic information. This combination of richly detailed archival research, with big historical and theoretical interpretations, raises provocative new questions about the moral economy of the credit relationship and the shifting line between exploitation and opportunity in the world of everyday exchange.
Unlearning Shame
FROM THE AUTHOR OF UNMASKING AUTISM''This book articulates a feeling that has lurked in the dark corners of so many minds and brings it into the light where it can be faced, embraced, understood, and ultimately, healed. .'' -Celeste Headlee, journalist and bestselling authorHow many times a day do you feel shame? Struggling to pay the bills; buying a top made in a sweatshop; reading the news and feeling - yet again - a powerlessness to the point of apathy?In this bold and transformative manifesto, social psychologist and author of Unmasking Autism Dr Devon Price takes an in-depth look at shame and the role it plays in our lives. Price identifies something called ''Systemic Shame'': the powerful self-message that says I am to blame for my circumstances. He explores how it traps us into fighting unwinnable battles and judging others for their failures, and how it especially affects those who are already vulnerable because they''re carrying shame from a difficult past or a complicated sense of self-esteem. By unpacking the concept of ''Systemic Shame'', this radically positive book shows that there is no such thing as becoming ''good enough'' to be deserving of love; we must claim acceptance for ourselves.Blending the latest social psychology, personal insights and empowering practical exercises, Unlearning Shame is a transformative guide to overcoming self-blame, unlocking self-worth and taking control of your future.

LSD - Výzkum a klinická praxe za železnou oponou, 2. vydání
Dr. Milan Hausner léčil duševně nemocné pacienty psychoterapií s využitím LSD v době, kdy byl primářem psychiatrické kliniky v Sadské u Prahy. Byl pravděpodobně jediným světovým psychiatrem, který využíval halucinogenní látky v klinické medicíně v takovém rozsahu a po takovou dobu.
Na své klinice se 112 lůžky využíval při léčbě různé dávky LSD, od 50 mikrogramů až po 400 mikrogramů, a to v rámci 60 až 90 sezení spojených s psychoterapií. Ta probíhala většinou ambulantně během víkendu. Vlastní léčba trvala 6 až 12 měsíců. Na psycholýzu velmi pozitivně reagovali zejména pacienti s různorodými neurózami, fobiemi a některými psychózami.
Publikace přináší detailní popis nejrůznějších poruch, jejich příčin i léčebného postupu, který doktor Hausner využíval. Součástí knihy jsou případové studie včetně vyjádření jednotlivých pacientů.
The Contested Domain
'A compelling critique of bourgeois society and women's oppression - a critique that not only advances theory, but also engages deeply with the historical and political conditions of social transformation' - Melda Yaman, Istanbul UniversityLise Vogel is a unique voice in feminist theory. This book collects her best essays, opening a window into the last half-century of US socialist feminism. A trailblazer in the 1970s, Vogel planted the seeds for contemporary Social Reproduction Theory with her 'unitary theory' of capitalist exploitation and the oppression of women. Along with others, she challenged established views within the academy and movement by insisting that Marxist theory can accommodate not only class, but also race and gender. Today, her work is more popular than ever, inspiring socialist feminists to develop inclusive liberatory ideas for the next generation. Selected from five decades of Vogel's work, including long out-of-print material, this volume is a crucial resource for readers interested in the intellectual history of Marxist feminism and twentieth-century activism.

The United States Navy 1914–18
An illustrated study of the organization, training, tactics, and operations of the US Navy during World War I, both before and after the US formally joined the Entente Powers.In 1914, the US Navy was the third-largest navy in the world. Although World War I brought no opportunity for the type of capital-ship fleet action for which it had been trained, the US Navy carried out (alongside the Allied navies) a wide range of other missions such as patrolling, convoy escort, laying mines, antisubmarine warfare, landing parties, and manning 14in. naval guns ashore on the Western Front, all while pioneering naval aviation against a background of gunboat diplomacy in the "Banana Wars" in the Caribbean.This absorbing new study examines the US Navy''s varied activities in the different theaters of World War I, paying particular attention to the considerable array of uniforms, personal equipment, protective clothing, and insignia employed, including those used by the first female US naval personnel. Complementing naval warfare expert Brian Lane Herder''s insightful research are archive photographs and eight newly commissioned color plates, providing a detailed and vivid account of the many facets of the US Navy during this pivotal chapter in its history.
Fat Leonard
#1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock’s “masterly investigation into one of the Navy’s worst scandals” (The New York Times).All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis—either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia’s swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom Pérignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women. On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn’t realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals’ noses and compromising national security. Based on reams of confidential documents—including the blackmail files that Francis kept on Navy officers—Fat Leonard is the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con man and a captivating testament to the corrosive influence of greed within the ranks of the American military.

Downing Street Downfalls
Even before Boris Johnson’s rollercoaster ride (2019–22), and the ensuing “blink and you missed it” premiership of Liz Truss, the high wastage-rate among Britain’s prime ministers was becoming a cause for concern. Between 1979 and 2007 Britain had just three heads of government: Margaret Thatcher (1979–90), John Major (1990–97) and Tony Blair (1997–2007). Over the next 17 years six politicians followed them in and out of Downing Street. This book, which straddles more than 30 years of prime ministerial misadventures, poses questions about the underlying factors as well as the specific circumstances for individual departures. Is the role of prime minister just becoming too difficult to perform successfully? If so, why? Has there been a decline in calibre in the candidates holding office? In exploring how the famous entrance to number 10 Downing Street has become a revolving door, the book shines a fresh light on the nature of politics and political office in the UK today.

The Economic Modernisation of Iran, 1953–1968
In 1953, Iran was at loggerheads with the US and UK, after Prime Minister Mossadegh nationalised Iran’s oil reserves. By 1968, under the autocratic rule of the Shah, Iran was a booming export economy, benefiting from high oil prices and consumer demand. It had unambiguously become a modern industrial economy. Sifting through primary and secondary sources, Ali Rahnema charts Iran’s progress in this vital fifteen-year period. He asks, who can claim the credit? And who bears the blame for its critical failures?
Zázraky
Základnou charakteristikou „zázraku“ je podľa Lewisa to, že ide o „zásah nadprirodzenej moci do prírody“. Tento zásah však nemá podobu porušenia „prírodných zákonov“. Treba ich vnímať v širšom kontexte. Ak Boh stvoril vesmír, prečo by nemal disponovať schopnosťou a možnosťami tvorcu vniesť do svojho diela veci, ktoré sú „zázračné“? Boh je sila, ktorá nie je vesmíru cudzia. Pôsobí však na hlbšej úrovni, aby vo svete dosiahla Božie konečné zámery a ciele.
Prof. Alister McGrath
Oxford University
C. S. Lewis (1898 – 1963) bol významným odborníkom na grécku a latinskú literatúru, filozofiu a históriu anglického jazyka. V roku 1954 sa stal profesorom stredovekej a renesančnej literatúry na Magdalen College Univerzity v Cambridgei. Bol výnimočným a obľúbeným prednášajúcim. Dlhé roky bol ateistom a svoje obrátenie ku kresťanstvu opísal v diele Zaskočený radosťou takto: „V aka¬demickom roku 1929 som sa na Trinity College vzdal a uznal, že Boh je Boh... [bol som] najskľúčenejší a najzdráhavejší konvertita Anglicka.“
C. S. Lewis bol jedinečný kresťanský spisovateľ s prenikavou logikou a veľkou fantáziou. Jeho diela stále oslovujú nové generácie čitateľov po celom svete. V slovenčine okrem klasiky Rady skúseného diabla vyšli nasledujúce diela:
• Veľký rozvod (Porta libri, 2014)

Chemie jde do války
Chemie má i svoji temnou stranu. Přinesla lidstvu přelomové objevy jako umělá hnojiva, léčiva nebo nanotechnologie, ale v laboratořích vznikly i látky, které měly sloužit jedinému účelu: někoho usmrtit, nebo mu alespoň nějak ublížit. Řekneme-li chemické zbraně, každému se vybaví yperit nebo teroristické útoky v tokijském metru, dějiny chemikálií ve službách boha války jsou však mnohem starší. Na bitevním poli je používali starověcí Řekové a Římané, posloužily při obléhání středověkých hradů, znali je v Evropě, Asii i Americe. Období největší „slávy“ zažily chemické zbraně v zákopech první světové války, od té doby naštěstí začal jejich postupný útlum.
Pokud vás ale zajímá, jak vlastně fungují a působí, nová kniha Ondřeje Dvořáka, neúnavného popularizátora všeho, co souvisí s chemií, vám otevře dveře do nebezpečného světa prvků, molekul a sloučenin, které vám mohou způsobit újmu na zdraví. Nezapomínejte ale, že chemie jako taková není zosobnění zla. Jsme to vždy my lidé, kdo zneužívá její poznatky.

Nepremárni svoj život
Ak veríte, že život je Kristus a smrť je zisk, prečítajte si túto knihu, naučte sa, ako žiť pre Krista, a nepremárnite svoj život!
Boh nás stvoril, aby sme žili s jedinou vášňou: Vo všetkých oblastiach života radostne zobrazovať Jeho najvyššiu vznešenosť. Premárnený život je život bez tejto vášne. Boh nás povoláva k tomu, aby sme sa modlili, premýšľali, snívali, plánovali a pracovali nie preto, aby sme vyvyšovali seba, ale aby sme oslavovali Jeho vo všetkých oblastiach svojho života.
Väčšina ľudí prepláva svojím životom bez skutočnej vášne pre Boha. Strávia ho prázdnou zábavou, úsilím o pohodlie a potešenie a možno aj snahou vyhnúť sa hriechu. Táto kniha je varovaním, aby sme sa nenechali vtiahnuť do života, ktorý postráda zmysel. Je to výzva, aby sme sa počas celého života, a aj vo smrti, chválili jedine krížom Pána Ježiša Krista aby našou jedinou vášňou bolo osláviť Boha. Ak veríte, že život je Kristus a smrť je zisk, prečítajte si túto knihu, naučte sa, ako žiť pre Krista, a nepremárnite svoj život!

Naše příroda: Krajinou národních parků a CHKO
Sdílíme úžasnou zemi. Nevyniká možná rozlohou, její krajina a příroda to však bohatě nahrazují. Vedle vysokých hor leží romantická údolí i úrodné roviny.

Na dosah skalních labyrintů dřímají sotva vychládající sopky, krápníky pod krasovou stepí nespočítáš. A celou tu podivuhodnou mozaiku prostupuje, sdílí ji a zkrášluje zázračný život, tisíce a desetitisíce druhů rostlin a živočichů. Od alpínských palouků, přes hvozdy horské, podhorské, nížinné až k lužním hájům a tamním mokřadům je to kronika starobylá, proměnlivá a poutavá. Dědictví, jehož jsme součástí, vesmíru, který nás láká, inspiruje i zavazuje. – Publikace Naše příroda odkrývá čtenáři krásy českých národních parků a chráněných krajinných oblastí.
