Činy biskupů hamburského kostela, 2. vydání


Kronika s názvem Gesta Hamburgensis ecclesiae pontificum, tj. Činy biskupů hamburského kostela, je pokládána za zásadní pramen k dějinám severní Evropy v 8.–11. století. Její autor čerpal hojně z pramenů, ale i z vlastních poznatků, zvláště pobytů na dánském královském dvoře. Spis sestávající ze čtyř knih se vyznačuje mimořádnou literární hodnotou, zároveň jde však o významný pramen pro studium nejranějších dějin středoevropského a severoevropského prostoru. Autor v ní přináší zprávy o dějinách a geografii severního Německa, Dánska a dalších skandinávských zemí, přičemž pochopitelný důraz klade především na šíření křesťanství. V této souvislosti zmiňuje také události v severozápadním Rusku, na Islandu a v Grónsku. Nové vydání překladu a komentáře medievistky a znalkyně dějiny Polabských Slovanů Libuše Hrabové (1928–2023) revidovala Magda Králová.

The Myth of Good Christian Parenting


Christian parents want to raise their kids in a godly way. But what if families have been sold promises that "biblical parenting" can never deliver?Christian parents want to raise godly children, but what happens when popular biblical parenting methods cause more harm than good? The Myth of Good Christian Parenting exposes how the Christian parenting industry has sold families false promises for five decades, leaving a trail of religious trauma, damaged relationships, and lost faith in its wake. This groundbreaking analysis offers· historical analysis - traces the development of the Christian parenting industry and its influential figures who built parenting empires;· research-based insights - features survey data from adult children and parents affected by authoritarian parenting methods;· theological examination - analyzes how popular teachings on authority, compliance, corporal punishment, and control diverge from Jesus''s teachings; and· encouragement for a better future - equips readers to pursue a new path of freedom and mutual respect within their families.Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis combine rigorous research with compelling storytelling to reveal how evangelical parenting culture has shaped--and often strained--families from the 1970s to today. Drawing on history, sociology, theology, and extensive survey responses from adult children and parents, they trace the rise of Christian parenting empires that idealize obedient children and perfect households while leaving real families feeling inadequate. They also examine the lasting damage caused by popular Christian parenting teachings--including loss of faith, estrangement, religious trauma, and deep regret for older parents--and provide hope for healing.Whether you''re a Christian parent questioning traditional methods, an adult recovering from a strict religious upbringing, or a church leader seeking healthier family ministry approaches, this book equips you to pursue mutual respect, emotional safety, and authentic faith within your family relationships.

Raiding the Heartland


Chronicles the devastating impacts of immigration raids—and the enduring resistance of immigrant communities in the aftermath. Winner, 2026 PROSE Award for Best Book in Cultural Anthropology and Sociology, Association of American Publishers, Finalist of the 2025 Foreword INDIES Award in the Political and Social Sciences Category, by the FOREWORD ReviewsAcross the United States, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upends small towns and rural communities by staging dramatic raids and rounding up hundreds of people in a single day. These worksite raids fracture families, devastate local economies, and spread fear and trauma that lingers for years. Yet in the wake of these devastating raids, immigrant communities exhibit resistance, resilience, creativity, and an extraordinary determination to rebuild. In this powerful follow-up to his best-seller Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid, William D. Lopez brings us into the heart of communities targeted by large-scale ICE enforcement under the Trump administration. These are places where immigrant workers, many of whom have lived in the United States for decades, are suddenly torn from their families and livelihoods. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book highlights the voices of those who have endured these raids: the teachers left to comfort traumatized children, the faith leaders who opened their doors to families in crisis, the organizers who mobilized relief efforts overnight, and the workers and their families who fought for their right to remain. As raids continue to increase across the country, this book is an urgent and deeply human portrait of what these raids leave behind—and the fierce, often unexpected ways communities come together across class, race, and immigration status in their aftermath.

Titan Unfinished


In the summer of 2023, the entire world fixated on a single news story that captured every headline on every media outlet: the search and rescue operation for OceanGate''s Titan research submersible, and the ultimate tragic fate of its five crew members. The media frenzy was fueled by many captivating storylines, but its primary focus was the villain at the center of it all, Stockton Rush: cofounder and CEO of OceanGate, and the ill-fated vessel''s pilot and designer. But was Stockton Rush truly the arrogant, rule-breaking, risk-taking con man the media insisted he was? Or was he a visionary altruistic technologist, philanthropist, and investor, someone willing to put his own personal wealth and life on the line in the name of exploring our planet''s deep oceans? Titan Unfinished is more than a recounting of the events that led to the tragedy-it''s an up-close, personal account of Stockton''s journey, from the conception of OceanGate to his sudden death, told by one of the few people who was with Rush from the very start. Fellow cofounder Guillermo Sohnlein examines the full humanity of the man behind OceanGate''s ambitious mission and offers insights extending far beyond the attention-grabbing headlines, detailing Rush''s temperament, motivations, and tendencies, as well as the technology, operations, and key events at play in a story that has thus far been massively oversimplified. Told by an insider with the deepest knowledge, and honoring the legacies of all those involved in the fatal accident, Titan Unfinished paints the full picture of an important but deeply misunderstood story. Proceeds from book sales will benefit The Explorers Club Titan Memorial Fund.

Wonderstruck


A philosopher explores the transformative role of wonder and awe in an uncertain worldWonder and awe lie at the heart of life’s most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. Taking inspiration from Descartes’s portrayal of wonder as “that sudden surprise of the soul,” this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.

Haman


The first book-length study of the biblical villain Haman, examining his depiction across Judaism, Christianity, and IslamHaman, infamous as the antagonist in the book of Esther, appears as a villainous figure in virtually all varieties of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In this “biography” of Haman, Adam Silverstein traces the evolution of this villainous character from the ancient Near East to modern times, drawing on sources in a variety of languages and from diverse genres. Silverstein considers the evidence for a historical Haman and analyzes the abundance of material that documents what those who read the Bible and the Qur’an have thought about him over the past two millennia. With this book, Silverstein offers an essential and original account of the rich diversity and openness of Abrahamic civilizations throughout history. Taking Haman as a case study, Silverstein guides the reader through diverse intellectual terrains, covering ancient Near Eastern cultures, pre-Islamic Iranian literature, Abrahamic scriptures and their interpretation, late antiquity, Islamic history, and interfaith relations. He shows how the figure of Haman has both united and divided Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities, who collaborated fruitfully in their efforts to grasp the meaning and significance of their holy books, but who also deployed the “Haman” label polemically against each other. Silverstein also considers Haman’s prebiblical origins, raising the possibility that the book of Esther was receiving and reconfiguring Haman no less than later works were, with Esther’s villain taking his place in a long line of reimagined Hamans. Haman: A Biography is the first book-length study to contextualize an Abrahamic character not only within Jewish and Christian traditions but also with reference to the character’s prebiblical background and reception in Islamic cultures.

K filosofii naděje


Naděje je to, co činí život snesitelnější. Ovšem dokáže být i metlou lidstva, jež člověka ohlupuje a zaslepuje tváří v tvář situaci vtěleného života ve sdíleném světě. A tak lze člověka vymezit též jako animal sperans: živočich doufající. Příspěvky k filosofickým tematizacím naděje u vybraných německých a francouzských filosofů 20. století nemohou, a ani nechtějí dané téma vyčerpat. Zastoupeny jsou kapitoly diskutující téma naděje z teologické i ateistické pozice, ze stanoviska idealistického, materialistického, antropologického i existenciálního. Nešlo opominout pravděpodobně největšího klasika filosofie naděje Ernsta Blocha, jehož hlavní dílo Princip naděje zavazuje k tomu věnovat mu pozornost a představuje patrně centrální pasáž knihy, jež si předsevzala pouze přivádět k zamyšlení nad tím, co pro nás dnes ještě znamená doufat.

Az európai társadalomfejlődés értelme


A bibói életmű egyik legfontosabb tanulmánya azt a kérdést járja körül, hogy az európai társadalmak milyen technikákkal, milyen intézményekkel igyekeztek gátat szabni a túlkapásokra mindig hajlamos végrehajtó hatalom zsarnoki törekvéseinek. "A modern demokrácia erkölcsi követelménye az egyenlő emberi méltóság, ez azt jelenti, hogy a szabadságprogram jegyében minden embernek joga van kinyilvánítani, hogy az őt irányító és kormányzó kisebbséggel nincs megelégedve, és joga van részt venni annak elmozdításában."

How to Feel


A new translation of the Buddha’s teachings on mindfulness—and how it can help us to be less controlled by our emotionsTo feel is to suffer. But do we have to suffer as much as we do? Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Buddha discovered that practices of mindfully observing our feelings and emotions can help us gain some distance from them. In How to Feel, Maria Heim provides new translations of essential early Buddhist teachings on mindfulness meditation and connects them to recent findings in psychology and neuroscience. A superb meditation manual and insightful exploration of psychology, the book also provides a brief introduction to Buddhism and features the original Pali-language texts on facing pages. Drawing from the Samyutta Nikaya, an early canonical collection, How to Feel introduces Buddhist practices of mindfulness. Using them, we can watch feelings come and go like winds passing through the sky. We can observe what causes our negative emotions and learn to shift our attention to other things. We can see where emotions lead us and learn to redirect them. We will still feel, but, with practice, emotions will have less control over us. Just as they did in ancient India, the teachings in How to Feel offer today’s readers radically new and more enlightened ways to experience emotions.

Fuji


A panoramic biography of Japan’s iconic mountain from the Ice Age to the presentMount Fuji is everywhere recognized as a wonder of nature and enduring symbol of Japan. Yet behind the picture-postcard image is a history filled with conflict and upheaval. Violent eruptions across the centuries wrought havoc and instilled fear. Long an object of worship, Fuji has been inhabited by deities that changed radically over time. It has been both a totem of national unity and a flashpoint for economic and political disputes. And while its soaring majesty has inspired countless works of literature and art, the foot of the mountain is home to military training grounds and polluting industries. Tracing the history of Fuji from its geological origins in the remote past to its recent inscription as a World Heritage Site, Andrew Bernstein explores these and other contradictions in the story of the mountain, inviting us to reflect on the relationships we share with the nonhuman world and one another.Beautifully illustrated, Fuji presents a rich portrait of one of the world’s most celebrated sites, revealing a mountain forever in the making and offering a meditation on the ability of landscape both to challenge and inspire.

Enforcing Normalcy


In this highly original study of the cultural assumptions governing our conception of people with disabilities, Lennard J. Davis argues forcefully against "ableist" discourse and for a complete recasting of the category of disability itself. Enforcing Normalcy surveys the emergence of a cluster of concepts around the term "normal" as these matured in western Europe and the United States over the past 250 years. Linking such notions to the concurrent emergence of discourses about the nation, Davis shows how the modern nation-state constructed its identity on the backs not only of colonized subjects, but of its physically disabled minority. In a fascinating chapter on contemporary cultural theory, Davis explores the pitfalls of privileging the figure of sight in conceptualizing the nature of textuality. And in a treatment of nudes and fragmented bodies in Western art, he shows how the ideal of physical wholeness is both demanded and denied in the classical aesthetics of representation. Enforcing Normalcy redraws the boundaries of political and cultural discourse. By insisting that disability be added to the familiar triad of race, class and gender, the book challenges progressives to expand the limits of their thinking about human oppression. Includes a new preface from the author.

A Philosophy of Beauty


An engaging account of how Shaftesbury revolutionized Western philosophyAt the turn of the eighteenth century, Anthony Ashley Cooper, the third Earl of Shaftesbury (1671–1713), developed the first comprehensive philosophy of beauty to be written in English. It revolutionized Western philosophy. In A Philosophy of Beauty, Michael Gill presents an engaging account of how Shaftesbury’s thought profoundly shaped modern ideas of nature, religion, morality, and art—and why, despite its long neglect, it remains compelling today. Before Shaftesbury’s magnum opus, Charactersticks of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times (1711), it was common to see wilderness as ugly, to associate religion with fear and morality with unpleasant restriction, and to dismiss art as trivial or even corrupting. But Shaftesbury argued that nature, religion, virtue, and art can all be truly beautiful, and that cherishing and cultivating beauty is what makes life worth living. And, as Gill shows, this view had a huge impact on the development of natural religion, moral sense theory, aesthetics, and environmentalism. Combining captivating historical details and flashes of humor, A Philosophy of Beauty not only rediscovers and illuminates a fascinating philosopher but also offers an inspiring reflection about the role beauty can play in our lives.
