The Mind Economy


The Mind Economy redefines how we understand the mind—treating it as an economic system in which memory is a central and valuable resource. Integrating perspectives from psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and economics, Professor Oliver Hoffmann introduces a groundbreaking framework for thinking about cognition, identity, and self-development. At the heart of the book lies the idea that memory, narration, and imagination are dynamic, exchangeable forces that structure our inner world and drive our decision-making processes.Drawing on insights from ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience, Hoffmann outlines a new form of “economic cognitive therapy” and provides practical tools for self-regulation, emotional integration, and enhanced mental efficiency. Support systems such as yoga, meditation, and cultural immersion are woven into this model, offering readers a holistic path toward personal transformation. This book is essential reading for psychologists, therapists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mind’s inner workings—and how to work with them.

Empire of Deterrence


A nuclear-extinction unconscious has worked over the last 30 years to 'automate' much political thinking and recuperate it into individualist culture wars that reaffirming the extinction regimesA nuclear-extinction unconscious has worked over the last 30 years to 'automate' much political thinking and recuperate it into individualist culture wars that reaffirming the extinction regimesThis book considers nuclear deterrence as a form of authority. It describes the rise of deterrence in the Anglosphere particularly as the rule of economic law hardened to protect a civilization in its deterministic, automated phase. Nuclear deterrence has increasingly been leveraged against populations to smother politics and protect an absolute stasis with its heart in a cybernetics of human eclipse - helping to explain why, when nuclear war became immanent and taken for granted in the 1990s, much political campaigning began to collapse into culture wars turning politics into currency for an anxious managerial class. Pre-set political values now flow from the world's foremost nuclear power, the US, and its British satellite, relying on a growing sense that conflict is pointless and there is no escape from the feedback loop of performative affirmation. This book resurrects some half-buried Cold War cultural and theoretical resources, from Paul Virilio to Stephen Poliakoff to Folk Horror, and brings up questions of local action and the undoing of the old Anglosphere commercial empire, to ask if there are ways of unthinking deterrence blackmail.

Submerged


Fearless honesty. Deep despair. Resilient discovery. Profound forgiveness. Revolutionary hope and liberation. Submerged is the story of one woman''s journey from a nightmare of childhood sexual abuse through a world of drug gangs and murder to prison and, ultimately, personal redemption through faith and a dedication to helping others. Sheena King’s raw, harrowing memoir anchored in revolutionary and transformative love is, at the same time, a story shared by tens of thousands of women, especially women of color who are incarcerated as the result of events that began with abuse by someone who should have been there to protect and nurture them. During her years in prison, Sheena found the strength to free herself through the process of helping countless other survivors of childhood abuse. Now she offers her memoir with the express hope that it will help many more. As Rikeyah Lindsay of the Abolitionist Law Center writes in her foreword, “We must take our collective healing seriously, interrogating the root causes and demanding accountability not only for ourselves but also for the systems that create the conditions in which so much harm can occur.” With Lindsay''s foreword and an introduction by Victoria Law, Submerged offers essential insights for all who want to understand and participate in the growing movement for alternatives to incarceration. In her own introduction Sheena King writes: “I’ve told my story. Now tell yours. It will free you.”

Neoliberalism and Race


In this timely work, Lars Cornelissen argues that the category of race constitutes an organizing principle of neoliberal ideology. Using the method of intellectual history and drawing on insights from critical race studies, Cornelissen explores the various racial constructs that structure neoliberal ideology, some of which are explicit, while others are more coded. Beginning in the interwar period and running through to recent developments, Neoliberalism and Race shows that racial themes have always pervaded neoliberal thinking. The book''s key argument is that neoliberal thought is constitutively racialized?its racial motifs cannot be extracted from neoliberalism without rendering it theoretically and politically incoherent. The book aptly explores a wide variety of racial constructs through the structure of neoliberal ideology, deconstructing the conceptualizations of landmark thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Peter Bauer, Ludwig von Mises, Thomas Sowell, Charles Murray, and others from the early twentieth century to the present. In this novel?perhaps controversial?critique, Cornelissen asserts that neoliberal thinkers were not just the passive recipients of racial discourse but directly impacted it.

Len si to namýšľaš


Škandalózna a zároveň prekvapivá história medicíny ženského tela. Medicínska veda vnímala ženské telá od počiatkov ako objekty – vhodné na experimenty, ale nie na vypočutie. Boli skúmané a ignorované, idealizované a sexualizované, ponižované, zotročované, mrzačené i zavrhované. Príbeh ženskej medicíny je príbehom, kde ženy často nemali právo vyjadriť svoj názor. Drámou napísanou z pohľadu mužov, ktorí nebrali ohľad na pocity, myšlienky, strach, bolesť ani skúsenosti samotných žien. Doktorka Elizabeth Comenová, uznávaná onkologička a historička medicíny z newyorského Centra pre liečbu rakoviny na pamiatku Sloana a Ketteringa, nás vo svojej knihe pozýva na fascinujúcu cestu naprieč dejinami ženskej medicíny. Prostredníctvom jedenástich sústav ľudského tela odhaľuje neznáme kapitoly, ktoré formovali dnešnú prax – a zároveň ukazuje, čo všetko v nej stále chýba. Výsledkom je silný a zároveň zrozumiteľný text, nad ktorým sa pozastavíte a zároveň vás šokuje. No predovšetkým prehĺbi vašu dôveru voči vlastnému telu. Len si to namýšľaš je knihou venovanou ženám. Otvára oči, rúca staré mýty a povzbudí na ceste za sebavedomím a vierou v seba samu. Doktorka Elizabeth Comen zasvätila svoju kariéru záchrane ženských životov. Je držiteľkou mnohých ocenení, medzinárodne uznávanou lekárkou a vedkyňou. Pracuje ako onkologička so špecializáciou na liečbu rakoviny prsníka v Centre pre liečbu rakoviny na pamiatku Sloana a Ketteringa a taktiež vyučuje v Cornellovom a Weillovom lekárskom stredisku. Na Harvardovej univerzite získala bakalársky titul z histórie vied a titul doktorky medicíny. V Nemocnici Mount Sinai pôsobila v odbore vnútorné lekárstvo a následne sa špecializovala na onkológiu v Centre pre liečbu rakoviny na pamiatku Sloana a Ketteringa. So svojou rodinou žije v New Yorku.

Skrze sebe změním tebe a dotknu se nebe


Mnoho z nás chce změnit svět, protože se nám nelíbí, jak vypadá. Každý den, každou hodinu a každou minutu můžeme věnovat tomu, abychom měnili sami sebe k lepšímu. Není to otázka říct si a změnit se, je to o říkat si a měnit se, pořád, bez ustání, dál a dál a dál. Pokud to poctivě děláme, zjistíme, že už nám zbývá opravdu málo času na tisknutí letáků, boji proti něčemu, účastnění se besed atd. Je to alibistické uzavření se ve svém kukle a ignorace vnějšího světa? Možná. Možná ale taky ne. Můžu nadávat na zprávy, média, vlády, korporace… Anebo můžu vyhodit z okna televizi, z novin si udělat papírovou čepici, politice nevěnovat ani minutu měsíčně a přestat toužit po nesmyslech, které stejně nechci a už vůbec nepotřebuju. Můžu udělat ze svého domova chrám plný míru a lásky a zvát do něj ty, které mám rád. Můžu zamést chodník před svým domem a usmát se na souseda. Můžu zavřít bránu, kterou do mojí hlavy proudí miliardy zbytečných, nesmyslných, zkreslených a negativních informací a můžu se naučit hledat sám v sobě. Můžu v sobě nalézt mír a den za dnem ho prohlubovat a zesilovat, aby jím nic nemohlo otřást, a pokud přeci jen otřese, abych ho znovu zase nastolil. Svým myšlením, mluvením, chováním a vyzařováním můžu natolik změnit svojí auru, že v její přítomnosti změkne i ten nejtvrdší kámen. Skrze sebe, můžu změnit tebe a celý svět.

Conflict of Memories


Anna Ratke-Majewska explores how the Law and Justice Party’s rule (2005–2010, 2015–2025) shaped a specific vision of Polish national identity through the politics of memory. Focusing on the Warsaw Uprising, the Cursed Soldiers, and Polish–Jewish relations during World War II, it reveals how state-endorsed narratives elevated selected interpretations of the past while marginalizing others. The rising conflicts of memories reflected and intensified political and social divisions, turning history into a contested space of identity, legitimacy, and ideological struggle in contemporary Poland. These struggles influenced public debate, education, and the international image of the Polish state.

World War II


The enormous loss of life and physical destruction caused by the First World War led people to hope that there would never be another such catastrophe. How then did it come about that there was a Second World War causing twice the 30 million deaths and many times more destruction as had been caused in the previous conflict? In this Very Short Introduction, Gerhard L. Weinberg provides an introduction to the origins, course, and impact of the war on those who fought and the ordinary citizens who lived through it. Starting by looking at the inter-war years and the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, he examines how the war progressed by examining a number of key events, including the war in the West in 1940, Barbarossa, The German Invasion of the Soviet Union, the expansion of Japan''s war with China, developments on the home front, and the Allied victory from 1944-45. Exploring the costs and effects of the war, Weinberg concludes by considering the long-lasting mark World War II has left on society today.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
