Islanded
A groundbreaking retelling of the advent of British rule in Sri Lanka. How did the modern nation of Sri Lanka come to be? In search of an answer to this question, Islanded returns us to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and to the advance of the British on the kingdom of Kandy. This advance saw the fall of the last foothold of kingly rule, centered in the highlands of the island. The British undertook a process of “islanding” and “partitioning,” which cast the island, its nature and geography, its religious and ethnic character, and its historical traditions and maritime culture as separate from British domains in mainland India and elsewhere. Kings had seen themselves as rightful rulers of the whole territory of the island. Now, this right was violently extended by British colonists through the application of a model of crown rule and modern bureaucracy that tied ethnicity to language and religion, employing essentialized but not fully realized patterns that would continue to trouble the modern nation. Picking up a range of unusual themes, from migration, orientalism, and ethnography to botany, medicine, and education, Islanded is a groundbreaking text in Sri Lankan history writing, shaping discussions of the imperial transition in South Asia.

The Romans
'At last, a history of the Roman state as it has always been crying out to be told, and never has been!' RODERICK BEATON
The greatest empire in Western history - told as never been told before.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. But for over two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions, and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted, and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the untold story of a civilisation that endured.
In The Romans, acclaimed historian Edward J. Watts tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic sweep: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic, the coming of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the rise of Islam and the onslaught of the Crusaders who would bring about the empire's end. This is the Rome of Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Constantine. But it is also the Rome of Charlemagne, Justinian, and Manuel Comnenus, and countless diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
An expansive, eye-opening portrait, this is the definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Jane Austens Bookshelf
Publishing to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.
It all started with a book that made me curious.
When rare books dealer Rebecca Romney found an emerald clothbound edition of Evelina by Frances Burney, she was happy to discover that she'd stumbled across a novel by one of Jane Austen's favourite authors. Inspired by the connection between the two writers, she returned to Austen's books with a new lens, picking out clues sprinkled throughout her works that pointed to the writers she had admired.
Austen read William Shakespeare, John Milton, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Richardson, all authors Rebecca had read. But Austen also read Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Lennox, Hannah More, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hester Piozzi, and Maria Edgeworth, all authors Romney hadn't. These female writers all sat proudly on Austen's bookshelf, but have disappeared from ours.
Romney became fascinated with these writers and wanted to answer three important questions: What were the stories behind the lives of these women? Why have they disappeared from our bookshelves? Who wrote them out of history? She had a mission, an obligation: she needed to collect Jane Austen's bookshelf.
Kingdom
Accompanying the landmark BBC natural history documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough, and featuring stunning full-colour photography.
Five years, four powerful animal families. Who will rule the Kingdom?
Zambia's spectacular Luangwa Valley contains ideal leopard territory. It also hosts one of the highest densities of wild dogs ever recorded, one of the ten remaining strongholds of lions left in Africa and is home to one of the few hyena populations to be studied in depth.
Kingdom chronicles the real-life saga of four animal families as each one stakes their claim here for a territory called Nsefu. Over the course of five years, this story follows the twists and turns of their interconnected lives. Leopard mother Olimba is busy bringing up her two cubs, when wild dog Storm arrives, fiercely determined to make this place home for her pack. Hyenas Tenta and Tandala walk a tightrope between following their rivals for food, whilst keeping themselves and their cubs safe; and the lion pride strive to secure their control of this territory for generations to come.
Featuring stunning full-colour photography, Kingdom charts the uplifting highs of these real animal characters, as well as their heart-rending lows, as they jostle for power and their family's survival.
The Nuclear Age
From the bestselling author of Chernobyl comes a sweeping history of the geopolitics behind the nuclear arms race, from the first atomic bomb to today
On 16 July 1945, the Nuclear Age began with the explosion of the first atomic bomb and the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer: 'Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.'
While the threat of mutually assured destruction kept a lid on a simmering and tense geopolitical landscape, events like the Chernobyl disaster and near-misses like the Cuban Missile Crisis showed that total destruction was only ever one malfunction, mistake, or miscommunication away. Now, as governments re-arm their nuclear arsenals, treaties designed to limit the acquisition and use of nuclear weapons fall away, and nuclear weapons come increasingly within reach of non-state actors, we are on the brink of a renaissance of the nuclear industry.
In The Nuclear Age, acclaimed historian Serhii Plokhy paints an intricate picture of a world governed by fear. From the first artificial splitting of the atom in 1917 and the race to create the first atomic bomb in World War II, through the fraught arms race of the Cold War, to the imperialism, neo-colonial motivation and wars being waged today, the threat posed by nuclear weapons is as pertinent as ever.
As he examines the motivations of key players, Plokhy confronts the crucial question of our age: what can we learn from the first nuclear arms race that can help us to stop the new one?

Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics
Sociologist Neil Gong explains why mental health treatment in Los Angeles rarely succeeds, for the rich, the poor, and everyone in between. Drawing on the nuanced experiences of patients and care providers, Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics introduces readers to two drastically different forms of community psychiatric services: public safety net clinics focused on keeping people housed and out of jail and elite private care trying to push clients toward respectable futures. In downtown Los Angeles, many people in psychiatric crisis only receive help after experiencing homelessness or arrest. Public providers engage in guerrilla social work to secure housing and safety, but these programs are rarely able to deliver true rehabilitation for psychological distress and addiction. Patients are free to refuse treatment or use illegal drugs—so long as they do so away from public view. Across town in West LA or Malibu, wealthy people diagnosed with serious mental illness attend luxurious treatment centers. Programs may offer yoga and organic meals alongside personalized therapeutic treatments, but patients can feel trapped, as their families pay exorbitantly to surveil and “fix” them. Meanwhile, middle-class families—stymied by private insurers, unable to afford elite providers, and yet not poor enough to qualify for social services—struggle to find care at all. Examining this divergent treatment of people facing similar mental struggles, Gong raises provocative questions about urban policy, individual freedom, and what it would take to create a fundamentally different psychiatric system—one that will meet the needs of patients, their loved ones, and society at large.
Operation Biting
A Times Best History Book of the Year; A Waterstones Best Book of the Year
'Reads like a thriller… I couldn't put Max Hastings's new book down' DAILY MAIL
'Hastings is a master of drama, a writer intimately familiar with the mind of the soldier' THE TIMES
Operation Biting was one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and probably the most successful. In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.
Max Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the 'boffin' RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. 'Boy' Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; 'Colonel Remy', the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the Würzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats.
Recounted in Hastings' familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Biting tells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.
Kaput
Ešte donedávna sa Nemecko javilo ako vzor ekonomického a politického úspechu. Nedávne udalosti – od závislosti Nemecka od ruského plynu až po oneskorenia nemeckého automobilového priemyslu v prechode na elektromobily – však tento pohľad spochybnili.
V knihe Kaput Wolfgang Münchau tvrdí, že slabiny nemeckého hospodárstva sa v skutočnosti formovali už desaťročia. Úzke prepojenie medzi priemyselnou a politickou elitou krajiny spôsobilo, že Nemecko technologicky zaostáva, je príliš závislé od autoritárskeho Ruska a Číny a vykazuje len málo známok schopnosti prispôsobiť sa digitálnej realite 21. storočia. Je to povinné čítanie pre každého, kto sa zaujíma o budúcnosť najdôležitejšej európskej ekonomiky.

Prečo si nerozumieme
Ak ste siahli po tejto knihe, je možné, že ste čítali niektorú z našich predchádzajúcich kníh, ako boli Prečo ľudia veria nezmyslom a Prečo ľudia potrebujú krízy. Čo nové sa dá o téme nepodložených presvedčení v dobe polykríz napísať? Na rozdiel od našich predchádzajúcich kníh je táto určená skôr pre odbornú verejnosť, študentov spoločenských vied, či ľuďom z hocijakej oblasti, ktorí sa chcú dozvedieť viac o tom, ako funguje ľudská myseľ a ktoré faktory prispievajú k urputnosti nepodložených presvedčení, a zároveň sa neboja ponoriť hlbšie do psychologického skúmania.
Ľudia na jednom konci názorového spektra nevedia pochopiť, prečo ľudia na druhom konci veria dezinformáciám, kým tí ľudia na druhom konci zasa nechápu, ako je možné, že to tí prví nevidia rovnako jasne ako oni. Toto nepochopenie vedie k čoraz väčšej frustrácii a polarizácii – navzájom si nadávame do dezolátov, slniečkárov, rusofilov, katoli¬bancov, liberálnych fašistov a múdrosráčov. Táto kniha je pokusom o objasnenie, prečo si navzájom nerozumieme v tom, ako si vysvet¬ľujeme fungovanie spoločnosti a sveta okolo nás. Veríme, že správne porozumenie tomu, čo nás spája a rozdeľuje, je prvým krokom k snahe zmierňovať spoločenskú polarizáciu, po ktorej v dnešnej dobe mnohí túžia.

Psychologie v kině
Snímky jako Psycho, Kmotr a Matrix se nejen zapsaly zlatým (a v jednom případě i zeleným) písmem do dějin kinematografie, ale staly se i ukázkovými příklady toho, jak na nás filmy mohou působit. Audiovizuální obsahy totiž vnímáme intenzivněji a zapamatujeme si je snáze nežli jiné mediální produkty. Co všechno se v našich myslích během sledování poutavých filmových příběhů tedy odehrává?
Kniha propojuje vědecké poznatky na pomezí psychologie a filmových věd s důrazem na divácký zážitek a prožitek. Nenabízí vzletné eseje o povaze média ani pronikání do imaginárních duší filmových postav, namísto toho se zaměřuje na samotné publikum a různé úrovně toho, jak zpracovává filmové příběhy. Za pomoci léty prověřených zdrojů i čerstvých výzkumných poznatků kniha mapuje specifika vnímání filmu, působivost žánrových forem i stylistických filmařských technik a také porozumění příběhům včetně jejich emočního jádra. V českém kontextu jde o ojedinělé propojení sfér psychologie a filmu, po jehož přečtení můžete filmy sledovat trochu jinýma očima a svůj divácký zážitek pak hlouběji reflektovat.

Základy statistiky
Publikace Základy statistiky přináší elementární poznatky z teorie statistiky a objasňuje podstatu statistického zpracování dat. Podává výklad statistiky jednoduchým způsobem, který akcentuje základy statistické práce a usuzování, přitom však přiměřeně respektuje exaktní pozadí této disciplíny. Dělá to prostřednictvím vhodně strukturovaného obsahu a vyjadřuje se jednoduchým a srozumitelným jazykem.
Pozornost nevěnuje jenom třem pilířům statistiky – pravděpodobnosti, teoretickým modelům a empirickým modelům – ale především jejich vzájemnému propojení, na jehož pozadí objasňuje podstatu statistického myšlení. Kniha je určena především studentům ekonomicky a technicky zaměřených fakult vysokých škol, užitečná však bude všem dalším zájemcům o statistiku.
Každá kapitola je doplněna sadou úloh k procvičení látky. Výklad, ale zejména užití statistiky bez počítače, už v dnešní době není možný. Čtenáři této publikace však nebudou potřebovat žádný drahý software. Autoři titulu používají při výkladu i řešení praktických problémů vlastní aplikaci STAT1, která je velmi jednoduchým nástrojem fungujícím pod masově rozšířeným programem MS Excel.
Čtvrté vydání knihy autoři upravili a rozšířili, především kapitolu 9 Odhady charakteristik základního souboru o konstrukce bodových odhadů. Kapitolu 11 Analýzu závislostí rozšířili o jednofaktorovou analýzu rozptylu a metody vícenásobného porovnávání.
Současná podoba učebnice tak pokrývá obvyklou problematiku vyučovanou v základních kurzech statistiky na většině univerzit. Tím byly do knihy doplněny kapitoly, které ji rozšířily tak, že nyní pokrývá celý rozsah metod běžně používaných při analýze statistických dat.
