The Human Past
Fifteen new contributors bring fresh perspectives to the fifth edition of The Human Past, the most authoritative introduction to world prehistory, revealing our shared human story with the latest scholarship.
Thoroughly updated by its team of authors, including 15 leading specialists new to this edition, this fifth edition introduces students to a more equitable and representative view of world prehistory. A total of 30 contributing authors – a truly international team of experts – introduce the enormous diversity of the human story as it occurred around the world, from the emergence of the first Homo species to human migrations, sedentism, domestication and agriculture, population growth and urban living, and the social systems and inequalities that were present across human groups of many sizes, from small societies to vast empires.
Twenty chronological chapters focus on individual regions, and new content appears in every chapter. The new authors bring first-hand scholarship and fresh perspectives, including: recent genetic (aDNA) research revealing the latest information about divergent migrations of early humans in Europe, in South America, and across Southeast Asia into China; more on the changes to Indigenous life in Australia post foreign contact; additional coverage of early female toolmakers and female hunters in the Americas; new features on the postcolonial re-evaluation of evidence in South Africa, including at Great Zimbabwe; and much more.
Archaeology - Theories, Methods and Practice
'As indispensable to an archaeology student as a trowel ... every student, or indeed any interested amateur, should really find a space on their shelf for this useful book' Minerva
Known for being an accessible and authoritative introduction, Archaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice has been updated in the Ninth Edition to include new discoveries in archaeology, innovations in field and laboratory methods, as well as covering the latest developments in archaeological theory, from ontologies to Indigenous archaeology.
Collaborating with Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn, new co-author, Elizabeth DeMarrais, updates earlier editions' clear presentation of archaeology's history, theory and ethics. The contributions made by women, people of colour, and Indigenous communities to the study of the human past are highlighted. New theoretical sections address Indigenous archaeology, ontology, post-colonial theory and historical archaeology. Sections on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and the changing role of museums are included. The Ninth Edition includes broader coverage of approaches to identity, ethnicity, and the archaeology of the modern world.
Upstream
New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath asks what happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen.
What happens when we take our thinking upstream and try to prevent problems before they happen?
Most of us are pretty good at dealing with problems – we’re used to being resourceful and improvising solutions. But we also tend to focus on reacting rather than preventing, which costs us unnecessary time and money.
Across business, politics, and society, bestselling author Dan Heath shows us that we have the capacity to solve some of our thorniest issues – we just need to start to think about the system rather than the symptoms. Drawing on hundreds of new interviews with unconventional problem solvers, Heath shows the huge gains to be made when we stop dealing with symptoms and start to deliver practical solutions.
An Atlas of Endangered Alphabets
A global exploration of the many writing systems that are on the verge of vanishing, and the stories and cultures they carry with them.
If something is important, we write it down. Yet 85% of the world's writing systems are on the verge of vanishing - not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed.
When a culture is forced to abandon its traditional script, everything it has written for hundreds of years - sacred texts, poems, personal correspondence, legal documents, the collective experience, wisdom and identity of a people - is lost.
This Atlas is about those writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them. From the ancient holy alphabets of the Middle East, now used only by tiny sects, to newly created African alphabets designed to keep cultural traditions alive in the twenty-first century: from a Sudanese script based on the ownership marks traditionally branded into camels, to a secret system used in one corner of China exclusively by women to record the songs and stories of their inner selves: this unique book profiles dozens of scripts and the cultures they encapsulate, offering glimpses of worlds unknown to us - and ways of saving them from vanishing entirely.
The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century
A radical reappraisal of the nature and activities of business - what it is for and how it works
For generations, we have defined a corporation as a business run by a capitalist elite, that uses its accumulated wealth to own the means of production and exercise economic power.
That is no longer the reality. In the twenty-first century, our most desired goods and services aren't stacked in warehouses or on container ships: they appear on your screen, fit in your pocket or occupy your head.
But even as we consume more than ever before, big business faces a crisis of legitimacy. The pharmaceutical industry creates life-saving vaccines but has lost the trust of the public. The widening pay gap between executives and employees is destabilising our societies. Facebook and Google have more customers than any companies in history but are widely reviled.
John Kay, one of the greatest economists of our time, describes how the pursuit of shareholder value has destroyed some of the leading companies of the twentieth century. Incisive and provocative, this book redefines successful commercial activity and leadership, the knowledge economy and what the future of the modern corporation might be.
How to Think Like a Poet
How did the greatest poets in history make the world anew? And what can we learn from the magic, the wisdom and the humour that is the gift of the greatest poets of our human civilization? From the genius of the Greeks and Romans to love and metaphysics of the Middle Ages, to the concrete wonder of New York and the Beat Poets of San Francisco, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest writers of the human age, and what their extraordinary lives can teach us about how to see the world.
More than any other genre, poetry represents the art of thinking. Writing about the 17th-century English poet John Donne, T.S. Eliot summed up how vital thinking is to the whole poetic enterprise. 'A thought to Donne was an experience,' he wrote; 'it modified his sensibility.' Where most people experience a thought and quickly move on to the next, for the poet a thought is something that needs to be savoured, articulated and preserved. It's an emotional experience, not just an intellectual one – a sensation that builds up in the mind and body and has to be committed to the page.
In showing how the great poets of human history lived and worked - and illuminating the gifts of the written word they left us - the poet and poetry teacher Dai George provides a readable and entertaining introduction to how to think like a poet, and how we can weave that thinking into our everyday lives. He addresses questions the great poets have grappled with: What is it to describe the world? How can we express love, grief, or friendship? And how can we rise above the misery of the world and see the beauty in the everyday?
This book paints vivid portraits of a global assortment of great poets throughout history: from Sappho, Juvenal and LiXu, to William Shakespeare and John Donne, to Frank O Hara, Pablo Neruda and Sylvia Plath. George also seeks to re-examine the canon – which has been overwhelmingly Western, white and male – who have long been held up as pillars of the art, and bring to light major figures from other, no less important cultures and communities – including major poets from China, pre-colonial America and Japan. He also engages with the extraordinary boom in poetry on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok – all signs of what every poet knows – we need poetry in order to live better, more fulfilling lives.
In each brief chapter, George brings to life these often prescient, always compelling poetical thinkers, showing how their way of writing about and understanding the world grew out of their own lives and times and how we can use their insights today.

UKRAINE The Forging of a Nation
UKRAINE The Forging of a Nation delves into the events that led to the creation of Ukraine, examining crucial moments of Ukrainian and world history and how connected they have been, and continue to be, to this day.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the world witnessed the 'creative, freewheeling, darkly humorous, and deeply resilient society' of contemporary Ukraine, and discovered more about a country with a history that is 'exceptionally rich in examples of survival, solidarity and resilience.'
In this timely and original history, already a bestseller in Ukraine, Professor Yaroslav Hrytsak, Ukrainian intellectual and public historian, tells the sweeping story of his nation through a meticulous examination of the major events, conflicts and developments that have shaped it over the course of centuries, exploring Ukraine's dramatic history, incredible fight for freedom and its place as an independent nation in our world today.

Team Habits
An expert guide to transforming your teamwork and results
Habits are crucial for personal productivity. But we rarely work alone: achieving our goals depends on how well we work with others. And teams have their own habits that can accelerate - or block - success.
In this essential handbook, productivity and teamwork expert Charlie Gilkey shows how to cultivate, implement and maintain the small habits that lead to big results for any team. From the Team Habits quiz, where you can identify the habits you need to build (or break) to a roadmap for putting them into practice, this book is full of clear, simple actions to:
- run more productive meetings
- eliminate pointless emails
- make better, swifter decisions
- create a stellar culture of belonging
Team Habits is the difference between teamwork that feels like a struggle and collaboration that empowers everyone to deliver their best.
Our Future is Biotech
Welcome to the biotech revolution
In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.
Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.
Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.
The industry has already delivered "miracle cures" for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made.
Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.
Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.
Good Nature
A revolutionary, science-based look at the ways nature can improve our lives that will do for the natural world what Tim Spector's Food for Life did for food.
Fifteen years ago, University of Oxford Professor Kathy Willis read a study that radically changed her view of our relationship to the natural world. The study proved that patients recovering in hospital from surgery improved three times faster when they looked out of their windows at trees.
Professor Willis has since dedicated her research to proving this link between the amount of green space in our lives and our better health, mood, and longevity. For the first time ever, Good Nature brings together these recent scientific findings from the past 15 years. Outlining the tangible benefits to our health she and other scientists have discovered, it is full of surprising and practical ways that nature can enhance our lives, such as: did you know that cedar enhances cancer-fighting cells in our immune system? Touching wood makes us feel calmer (the woodier, the knot-ier, the better). Our gut develops healthier microbiome from being in nature.
A book with applications to everything from which way we walk to work and choosing where our kids should go to school, Good Nature brings the laboratory to our lives – evoking the thrill of scientific discovery – and out into the natural world, making us see and experience it with new eyes.
Od prototextu k textu a od reality k fikcii
Titul kompozične nadväzuje na Rakúsovej knihu Fiktívne rozhovory z roku 2018. Autorka tu svojsky reflektuje tvorbu autorov ako Pavel Vilikovský, Dušan Mitana či Oleg Pastier a okrem toho sa zameriava na dva základné tematické okruhy – preklad a rozprávku. Zachytáva teoretické koncepcie Františka Mika, Jána Zambora a Mariána Andričíka. Teoretické texty sú obohatené recenziami na diela uvádzaných autorov a neraz aj autentickou korešpondenciou s nimi.
Chvála odpočinku
Pre nejedného kresťana je oddych bojovým poľom. Bojujeme s idolmi súčasnej doby, ktoré vyžadujú stav permanentnej výkonnosti. Tá môže viesť až k vyhoreniu. Žijeme totiž v čase, keď aj počas dovolenky musí byť každý okamih vyplnený nejakou činnosťou. Na druhej strane si však uvedomujeme, že na nás číha aj nebezpečenstvo lenivosti, ktorá nám bráni v rozvoji. Vedieť odpočívať je umenie, ale zároveň aj cnosť.
Autor sa zamýšľa nad skutočným oddychom. Jeho úvahy sú popretkávané citátmi z bohatej pokladnice duchovnej literatúry a tradície. Čitateľovi predkladá hĺbkovú a inšpiratívnu analýzu oddychu a ponúka riešenie, ako zaujať správny postoj k našim aktivitám a k sebe samému.

Bez strachu, 2. vydanie
Predstavte si život bez strachu
„Lucado so zručnosťou chirurga rozpoznáva a identifikuje rakovinu strachu, ktorá sa týka každej ľudskej bytosti, a s rovnakou precíznosťou necháva plynúť slová uzdravenia, ktoré prenikajú priamo do srdca.“
– Publishers Weekly
Zdá sa, že každé ráno so sebou prináša nové dôvody, prečo sa báť.
V práci sa rozpráva o prepúšťaní, spomaľovaní ekonomiky, výbuchoch na Blízkom východe, zmenách vo vedení, kolapse na trhu s nehnuteľnosťami a zrýchľujúcom sa globálnom otepľovaní. Mor dnešnej doby, terorizmus, sa začína slovíčkom teror, strach. Zdá sa, že strach si v susedstve prenajal budovu na sto rokov a otvoril si v nej obchod. Strach, nadmerne veľký a drzý, nás zaženie do väzenia a pribuchne za nami dvere.
Nebolo by úžasné vyjsť z neho von?
Predstavte si svoj život nedotknutý obavami. Namiesto strachu by sa tou najprirodzenejšou odpoveďou na hrozby stala viera. Ak by ste mohli k svojmu srdcu priložiť magnet na strach a vytiahnuť z neho všetky odrobinky hrôzy, neistoty a pochybností, čo by tam zostalo? Predstavte si deň, v ktorom viac dôverujete a menej sa bojíte.
Viete si predstaviť život bez strachu?
„Knihu Bez strachu odporúčam každému, koho už unavuje večný pesimizmus a kto sa chce raz a navždy oslobodiť od strachu."
– Dave Ramsey, rozhlasový moderátor
Bojíme sa, že nás niekto bude žalovať, že dobehneme poslední, že skolabujeme; bojíme sa pigmentovej škvrny na chrbte, zvuku hodiniek, ktoré nás každou sekundou odprevádzajú bližšie k hrobu. Zdá sa, že každé svitanie so sebou prináša čerstvé dôvody na strach.
Prežívať strach je desivé. Strach vysaje život z duše, zvinie nás do embryonálnej polohy, vycicia z nás akúkoľvek radosť.
Nebolo by úžasné vyjsť z neho von? Predstavte si svoj život nedotknutý obavami. Namiesto strachu by sa tou najprirodzenejšou odpoveďou na hrozby stala viera.
Nie div, že Ježiš vyhlásil strachu takú vojnu. Jeho najbežnejšie pokyny sú práve: „Nebojte sa.“ V tejto knihe vás Max Lucado pozýva všimnúť si, že Ježiš nás vždy povolával k odvahe.
Strach bude vždy klopať na dvere. Len ho nepozývajte na večeru a za nič na svete ho nenechávajte u vás prespať. Prísľub Krista a posolstvo tejto knihy znie, že zajtra sa môžeme báť menej ako dnes.

Prežívame krízu rozptýlenia. Náš svet je plný vecí, ktoré vznikli práve preto, aby nás rozptyľovali. Plány idú bokom, rodinu či priateľov ignorujeme a zdá sa, že naša práca nebude nikdy dokončená.
Čo keby ste sa riadili svojimi najlepšími úmyslami? Čo by ste mohli dosiahnuť, keby ste sa naozaj dokázali sústrediť? Čo keby ste mali silu stať sa Nevyrušiteľnými?
Nir Eyal, autor medzinárodných bestsellerov, bývalý lektor na Stanforde a odborník na behaviorálny dizajn v knihe Nevyrušiteľní píše o skrytej psychológii, ktorá ľudí vedie k rozptýleniu a vysvetľuje, prečo sa tento problém nedá vyriešiť digitálnym detoxom.
Pomocou štyroch krokov podporených výskumom vás naučí, ako uzavrieť dohody so sebou samým, aby ste udržali svoj mozog na správnej ceste. Inými slovami, odhalí vám tajomstvo, ako sa stať Nevyrušiteľnými!
Autor v knihe vyvracia zaužívané predstavy a ukazuje:
Prečo je rozptyľovanie v práci príznakom nefunkčnej firemnej kultúry – a ako to napraviť.
Čo v skutočnosti riadi ľudské správanie a prečo je „manažment času manažmentom bolesti“.
Prečo vaše vzťahy (aj váš sexuálny život) závisia od toho, či sa stanete Nevyrušiteľnými.
Ako vychovávať nevyrušiteľné deti v čoraz rušivejšom svete.
Vďaka praktickým a nenáročným technikám v tejto knihe dokážete kontrolovať svoj čas aj pozornosť, realizovať svoje ambície a žiť život, aký naozaj chcete.
A boldogság tudománya
Mindnyájan szeretnénk boldogabbak lenni, de az agyunk gyakran az utunkat állja. Ha túlságosan benne élünk a saját gondolatvilágunkban, akkor a hiányosságainkon rágódunk, másokhoz hasonlítgatjuk magunkat, és nem vesszük észre az életünk napos oldalát.
A boldogság tudományában Bruce Hood, a neves pszichológus és boldogságszakértő rámutat, hogy a boldogság kulcsa bizony nem az öngondoskodás, hanem a kapcsolódás. Hét egyszerű, de létfontosságú leckét kínál, hogy megtörjük a negatív gondolati mintákat, és újra kapcsolódjunk mindahhoz, ami valóban számít.
Változtasd meg az egódat
Kerüld az elszigeteltséget
Utasítsd el a negatív összehasonlítgatást
Legyél derűlátóbb
Irányítsd tudatosan a figyelmedet
Kapcsolódj
Láss tovább a saját gondolataidnál
A több évtizedes idegtudományi és fejlődéslélektani tanulmányokra alapozott könyv egy radikálisan új szemszögből világítja meg a jóllét gyökereit, és az utunkban álló akadályokat. Hood professzor világos, praktikus gyakorlatokkal mutatja be, hogyan használhatjuk fel mindannyian e tudományok eredményeit, hogy átalakítsuk a gondolkodásunkat és az életünket.
