Podielové spoluvlastníctvo - Judikatúra
Podielové spoluvlastníctvo predstavuje majetkový režim, ktorý často vzniká za špecifických okolností. Značná časť jeho prípadov je založená v dôsledku dedičskej postupnosti – spolumajiteľmi určitého majetku sa teda bežne stávajú aj osoby, ktoré môžu mať veľmi rozdielne názory na to, ako by sa mala spoločná vec využiť.
Už vyššie uvedené predznačuje, že spoluvlastníctvo (na rozdiel od tzv. výlučného vlastníctva) generuje až dva osobitné okruhy práv a povinností. Prvý z nich je reprezentovaný právnym postavením spoluvlastníkov voči tretím osobám; druhý (a v praxi neraz omnoho komplikovanejší) okruh sa týka vzájomných vzťahov spoluvlastníkov.
Základ právnej úpravy podielového spoluvlastníctva tvorí len zopár paragrafov Občianskeho zákonníka. Možno aj to je dôvodom, prečo sú súdne spory medzi podielovými spoluvlastníkmi pomerne frekventované. Okrem konaní o jeho zrušenie a vyporiadanie patria k tým najobvyklejším napríklad spory ohľadom užívania či zhodnocovania spoločnej veci alebo konania, v ktorých sú uplatňované nároky zo zákonného predkupného práva spoluvlastníkov.
Táto publikácia si kladie za cieľ poskytnúť prehľad o slovenskej a českej judikatúre týkajúcej sa otázok, ktoré sú v súvislosti s podielovým spoluvlastníctvom posudzované najčastejšie. Obsahuje rozhodnutia súdov usporiadaných do jednotlivých tematických okruhov.
Informácie obsiahnuté v knihe využijú nielen advokáti, sudcovia, notári či exekútori, ale aj ďalší odborníci, ktorí sa v rámci svojej profesie venujú správe majetku alebo realitnej agende. Vďaka redakčnej úprave rozhodnutí a prehľadne vyextrahovaným právnym vetám umiestneným v úvode každého spracovaného judikátu sa však môže stať cenným zdrojom rýchlo dostupných informácií aj pre bežných ľudí, ktorí sa snažia nájsť odpoveď na konkrétny problém spojený s podielovým spoluvlastníctvom.
Publikácia obsahuje 150 rozhodnutí súdov.
Ochrana spotrebiteľa na finančnom trhu
Učebnica Ochrana spotrebiteľa na finančnom trhu je v slovenskom prostredí prvou právne zameranou učebnicou, prinášajúcou ucelený pohľad na vzťahy vznikajúce medzi spotrebiteľom a obchodníkom na finančnom trhu, a to kombináciou súkromnoprávnych a verejnoprávnych aspektov regulácie. V úvodných kapitolách autori rozkrývajú potrebu osobitnej ochrany spotrebiteľov v prostredí finančného trhu, právomoci Národnej banky Slovenska, jej regulačné, dohliadacie a sankčné nástroje. Osobitná pozornosť je venovaná prehľadu procesných možností spotrebiteľa domáhať sa svojich práv voči obchodníkom – dohliadaným subjektom, a taktiež poskytovaniu finančných služieb na diaľku, nekalým obchodným praktikám a neprijateľným zmluvným podmienkam na finančnom trhu. Ťažisko učebnice spočíva v detailnej analýze postavenia finančného spotrebiteľa v jednotlivých sektoroch finančného trhu: bankovníctvo, platobné služby, spotrebiteľské úvery a úvery na bývanie, poistenie, dôchodkové sporenie, investovanie, finančné sprostredkovanie, devízový sektor a garančné systémy. Vzhľadom na hĺbku spracovania problematiky, produktovo orientovanú systematiku a praktické súvislosti, je učebnica určená nielen študentom právnických a ekonomických fakúlt, ale aj právnickým profesiám a ďalším osobám z aplikačnej praxe usilujúcim sa o ochranu práv finančných spotrebiteľov a fungovanie finančného trhu, počnúc osobami prichádzajúcimi do kontaktu so spotrebiteľmi v rámci poskytovania finančných služieb, cez spotrebiteľské združenia, až po osoby venujúce sa finančnému vzdelávaniu, prípadne aj samotných spotrebiteľov majúcich záujem odborne prehĺbiť vlastnú finančnú gramotnosť v oblasti legislatívy.

How the West Became Antisemitic
An examination of how the Jews—real and imagined—so challenged the Christian majority in medieval Europe that it became a society that was religiously and culturally antisemitic in new ways In medieval Europe, Jews were not passive victims of the Christian community, as is often assumed, but rather were startlingly assertive, forming a Jewish civilization within Latin Christian society. Both Jews and Christians considered themselves to be God’s chosen people. These dueling claims fueled the rise of both cultures as they became rivals for supremacy. In How the West Became Antisemitic, Ivan Marcus shows how Christian and Jewish competition in medieval Europe laid the foundation for modern antisemitism. Marcus explains that Jews accepted Christians as misguided practitioners of their ancestral customs, but regarded Christianity as idolatry. Christians, on the other hand, looked at Jews themselves—not Judaism—as despised. They directed their hatred at a real and imagined Jew: theoretically subordinate, but sometimes assertive, an implacable “enemy within.” In their view, Jews were permanently and physically Jewish—impossible to convert to Christianity. Thus Christians came to hate Jews first for religious reasons, and eventually for racial ones. Even when Jews no longer lived among them, medieval Christians could not forget their former neighbors. Modern antisemitism, based on the imagined Jew as powerful and world dominating, is a transformation of this medieval hatred. A sweeping and well-documented history of the rivalry between Jewish and Christian civilizations during the making of Europe, How the West Became Antisemitic is an ambitious new interpretation of the medieval world and its impact on modernity.
Pszichopatákkal körülvéve
Találkoztál már olyan emberrel, aki egyszerre volt karizmatikus és elbűvölő, valamint manipulatív, önző és ravasz? A pszichopatákra pontosan ezek a tulajdonságok jellemzők, és éppen emiatt nagyon veszélyesek.
Az Idiótákkal körülvéve című nemzetközi bestseller szerzője, Thomas Erikson elárulja, hogyan ismerhetjük fel az életünket megkeserítő pszichopatákat, miként küzdhetünk az érdekvezérelt befolyásolási törekvéseik ellen, és főleg hogyan kerülhetjük el ezeket az embereket nagy ívben.
A szerző a korábbi könyveiből ismert népszerű, négy színen alapuló viselkedésmodellt használja, és részletes példákkal szemlélteti, hogy mit tanácsos tennie a társaság kedvence sárgának, az elemző típusú kéknek, az öntudatos pirosnak és a türelmes zöldnek, ha összeakadnak egy pszichopatával vagy egy profi manipulátorral. Hiszen a manipuláció megjelenhet a pszichopatamentes hétköznapi kapcsolatainkban is.
Ha már unod, hogy kihasználnak, ha eleged van belőle, hogy időről időre a padlón találod magad valaki miatt, vagy úgy érzed, mindig te kerülsz a sor végére, ez a könyv neked szól! A rengeteg, hétköznapi életből vett példa és gyakorlatias tanács segítségével feltárhatod a saját viselkedésed mozgatórugóit, és megvédheted magad attól, hogy a környezetedben élők dróton rángassanak a saját céljaik eléréséhez.
The Undiscovered Country
From the author of The Apache Wars, the true story of the American West, revealing how American ambition clashed with the realities of violence and exploitation. The story of the American West as we know it is a national myth of progress, redemption, and glorious conquest that became part of a new American identity. In THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, Paul Andrew Hutton shares the true story of Westward expansion. Told through seven gripping points of view - four famed American frontiersmen and three important Native Americans - Hutton tells the tale of the triumphs and tragedies that marked the westward movement, from Braddock''s Defeat in 1755 during the final French and Indian War to the murder of Sitting Bull and the resultant Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890. From Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Buffalo Bill Cody and Kit Carson to Red Eagle, Mangas Coloradas, and Sitting Bull, Hutton reveals the truth behind these historic figures. It is a story of both heroic conquest and ghastly violence, of sacrifice and greed, and of man-made wonders and environmental spoliation. Westward expansion came at a terrible price that quickly morphed into a story that was wildly romantic and oddly tragic. Yet the American frontier movement has proven eternally fascinating to both American and world audiences, the subject of countless books, films, poems, and paintings. THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, at last, sets the record straight.
Colors of the Concepts
This short monograph explores the intersection of philosophy and painting, examining how major thinkers from Hegel to Merleau-Ponty developed key concepts through their engagement with specific artworks. Unlike traditional surveys, my book focuses on philosophers’ ideas as they emerged from concrete encounters with paintings, offering both scholars and general readers fresh insight into philosophical thought. By analysing these interactions, the book illuminates the often-overlooked connection between visual art and abstract reasoning, tracing the evolution of philosophical ideas through tangible, visual experiences. This approach not only bridges aesthetics with other philosophical branches but also presents a unique contribution to the history of ideas, demonstrating how painting has shaped philosophical thoughts. Ultimately, this work provides a novel perspective on familiar philosophical concepts, revealing the profound influence of art on intellectual history.

Anastas Mikoyan
Veteran Soviet statesman and longtime Politburo member Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan is perhaps best remembered in both the West and the post-Soviet space as a master political survivor who weathered every Soviet leader from Lenin to Brezhnev. Less well known is the pivotal role that Mikoyan played in dismantling and rejecting the Stalinist legacy and guiding Khrushchev's nationality policy toward greater decentralization and cultural expression for nationalities. Based on new discoveries from the Russian and Armenian archives, Anastas Mikoyan is the first major biographical study in English of a key figure in Soviet politics. The book focuses on the Armenian statesman's role as a reformer during the Thaw of 1953–1964, when Stalin's death and Khrushchev's ascension opened the door to greater pluralism and democratization in the Soviet Union. Mikoyan had been a loyal Stalinist, but his background as a native Armenian guided his Thaw-era reform initiatives on nationality policy and de-Stalinization. The statesman advocated a dynamic approach to governance, rejecting national nihilism and embracing a multitude of ethnicities under the aegis of "socialist democracy," using Armenia as his exemplar. While the Soviet government adopted most of Mikoyan's recommendations, Khrushchev's ouster in 1964 ended the prospects for political change and led to Mikoyan's own resignation the following year. Nevertheless, Mikoyan remained a prominent public figure until his death in 1978. Following a storied statesman through his personal and professional connections within and beyond the Soviet state, Anastas Mikoyan offers important insights into nation-building, the politics of difference, and the lingering possibilities of political reform in the USSR.
Kill–Do not Release
"Fighter-Writer" reports from major battles in the Pacific highlight what America’s Marines endured in World War IIDouglass K. Daniel presents a fascinating trove of previously classified material withheld from the public because of government and public relations concerns at the time, including tactical details that could inadvertently aid the enemy, battlefield gore that could disturb readers, and the gamut of issues of taste. Navy censors in the field and editors at Marine Corps headquarters in Washington were also on alert for any material that could negatively affect the Corps itself or the overall war effort. Soul-searching stories that questioned the nature of war were rejected lest they sow doubt stateside about the cause for which so many lives were being lost. Behind the bylines was a new breed of storytellers. Considered "fighter-writers," Marine combat correspondents, or CCs, carried typewriters as well as weapons. The Marine Corps Division of Public Relations recruited them from America’s newsrooms to join the fight that stretched from Guadalcanal and the bloody assault on Tarawa to the black sands of Iwo Jima and the dense jungles of Okinawa. Their approved work appeared in civilian newspapers, magazines, and other national and local media. This collection also highlights the unique efforts of the CCs and the public relations officers who commanded them. While they were assigned to report and write, they were Marines first. They eagerly put aside their notebooks to take up arms against the enemy as needed. Many were wounded in battle, and more than a dozen were killed, giving their lives to get the story behind the most significant conflict in human history.
The Quest for Liberation
Contemporary debate on cosmopolitanism routinely refers to Immanuel Kant as its intellectual origin. A group of Chinese and German-speaking thinkers in the early twentieth century, however, used classical Chinese philosophy as an alternative intellectual genealogy to reimagine ethics, politics, society, and modernity for the entire world. Their engagement with Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism broadens the scope of global intellectual history to include a non-European origin of concepts and ideas. Due to the differences in their local crises, the Chinese and the European stories are often narrated in separate national and cultural contexts. Bridging the critical divide between China and the West, The Quest for Liberation examines the thinkers’ shared interest in Chinese philosophy and their common effort to envision a world culture other than Western modernity. Breaking with the common logic of either studying the reception and adaptation of Western ideas in the East or critiquing the misrepresentation of the East in the West, Zhang’s book emphasizes entanglements between Chinese and European thinkers and highlights their quest for liberation in a globalizing world. Their visions of an ontological commons for everyone help us imagine a better world community in our time of global crises, beyond the clash of civilizations. This book is available from the publisher on an open access basis.
Jesus in Nature
Encounter enlightening and engaging views of monastic love for God’s creation. In Jesus in Nature, Samuel Torvend uncovers the hidden story of monastic reflection on the presence of Jesus Christ in creation. With frequent references to contemporary life, he offers a comprehensive view of Jesus in his natural world and the various ways in which early medieval monastics discerned the presence of the risen Christ in nature’s seasons, in flora and fauna, and in the pulsating energy that gives life to all things. For Christians who care for our common home, the earth, Torvend offers groundbreaking and enlightening views of monastic love for God’s first gift, the creation, and presents wisdom for living today in a world that needs thoughtful persons of faith who are friends of the earth and its many creatures. In this book, readers are invited to engage the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture and thus further their conversation between faith and science.
State of Others
State of Others: Levinas and Decolonial Israel explores the relations between post-Holocaust Jewish thought and postcolonial thought through the work of Emmanuel Levinas. In the last decade, thinkers have criticized Levinas for his Eurocentrism; however, author Elad Lapidot argues that Levinas anticipated this critique and, from the 1960s onward, began setting the foundations for decolonial Jewish thought - and for decolonial Zionism. State of Others offers an innovative analysis of Levinas's intellectual project as articulated around a turn in the year 1968. This turn relates to the relationship between Judaism and Western civilization. Prior to 1968, Levinas considered the historical Jewish collective, Israel, as the avant-garde of Western humanism. After 1968, with the rise of decolonial discourse, Levinas's concept of Israel shifts roles and becomes the paradigmatic victim of Western imperialism. State of Others demonstrates how Levinas simultaneously developed his dual narratives - before and after the pivotal year of 1968 - across his philosophical and Jewish writings, with a special emphasis on the Talmudic Readings. It presents for the first time a cohesive overview of Levinas's writings, both early and late, as interconnected components of a singular intellectual endeavor. The ethical principles concerning the other, as articulated by Levinas, are conceptually linked to his reflections on the State of Israel.
Everybody Loves a Good Drought
The poor in India are, too often, reduced to statistics. In the dry language of development reports and economic projections, the true misery of the hundreds of millions who live below the poverty line gets overlooked. In this thoroughly researched study of the poorest of the poor, we get to see how they manage, what sustains them, and the efforts, often ludicrous, to do something for them. The people who figure in this book typify the lives and aspirations of a large section of Indian society, and their stories present us with the true face of development. <br><br>Acclaimed across the world, assigned in over 100 universities and colleges, and included in part in <i>The Century's Greatest Reportage</i>, alongside the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Studs Terkel, <i>Everybody Loves a Good Drought</i> is the established classic on rural poverty in India. Two decades after publication, it remains unsurpassed in the scope and depth of reportage, providing an intimate view of the daily struggles of the poor and the efforts, often ludicrous, made to uplift them.
A Jew in the Roman Bathhouse
A provocative account of Jewish encounters with the public baths of ancient RomePublic bathhouses embodied the Roman way of life, from food and fashion to sculpture and sports. The most popular institution of the ancient Mediterranean world, the baths drew people of all backgrounds. They were places suffused with nudity, sex, and magic. A Jew in the Roman Bathhouse reveals how Jews navigated this space with ease and confidence, engaging with Roman bath culture rather than avoiding it. In this landmark interdisciplinary work of cultural history, Yaron Eliav uses the Roman bathhouse as a social laboratory to reexamine how Jews interacted with Graeco-Roman culture. He reconstructs their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the baths and the activities that took place there, documenting their pleasures as well as their anxieties and concerns. Archaeologists have excavated hundreds of bathhouse facilities across the Mediterranean. Graeco-Roman writers mention the bathhouse frequently, and rabbinic literature contains hundreds of references to the baths. Eliav draws on the archaeological and literary record to offer fresh perspectives on the Jews of antiquity, developing a new model for the ways smaller and often weaker groups interact with large, dominant cultures. A compelling and richly evocative work of scholarship, A Jew in the Roman Bathhouse challenges us to rethink the relationship between Judaism and Graeco-Roman society, shedding new light on how cross-cultural engagement shaped Western civilization.
Summer of Our Discontent
In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of our time, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives.Williams also decries how liberalism - the very foundation of an open and vibrant society - is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture.Sure to be highly controversial, Summer of Our Discontent is a compelling look at our place in a radically changing world.
Essential Soldiers
A new perspective on women's Black Power leadership legacies Academics and popular commentors have expressed common sentiments about the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s—that it was male dominated and overrun with autocratic leaders. Yet women's strategizing, management, and sustained work were integral to movement organizations' functioning, and female advocates of cultural nationalism often exhibited a unique service-oriented, collaborative leadership style. Essential Soldiers documents a variety of women Pan-African nationalists' experiences, considering the ways they produced a distinctive kind of leadership through their devotion and service to the struggle for freedom and equality. Relying on oral histories, textual archival material, and scholarly literature, this book delves into women's organizing and resistance efforts, investigating how they challenged the one-dimensional notions of gender roles within cultural nationalist organizations. Revealing a form of Black Power leadership that has never been highlighted, Kenja McCray explores how women articulated and used their power to transform themselves and their environments. Through her examination, McCray argues that women's Pan-Africanist cultural nationalist activism embodied a work-centered, people-centered, and African-centered form of service leadership. A dynamic and fascinating narrative of African American women activists, Essential Soldiers provides a new vantage point for considering Black Power leadership legacies.
Replace the State
A practical call to action against oppression Across the globe, millions of people have participated in protests and marches, donated to political groups, or lobbied their representatives with the aim of creating lasting social change, overturning repressive laws, or limiting environmental destruction. Yet very little seems to improve for those affected by rapacious governments. Replace the State brings new hope for social justice movements by looking to progressive campaigns that have found success by unconventional, and more direct, means. Sasha Davis, an activist and scholar of radical environmental advocacy, focuses on the strategies of movements, many of them Indigenous, that have occupied contested sites and demonstrated their effectiveness at managing or governing them. Including case studies of resistance to development on Indigenous lands in Hawai‘i, nuclear testing in the Nevada desert, and the U.S. military occupation of Okinawa, he offers insight and direction for activists, students, academics, and others dedicated to protecting and improving the well-being of their communities and beyond. It would be easy to succumb to pessimism and political apathy in the face of governing institutions that are increasingly unresponsive to calls for change and repressive in response to protest, even as they violate human rights, ignore existential climate catastrophes, and concentrate power into fewer and fewer hands. Instead, Davis finds inspiration for genuine political change through social movements that are successfully “replacing the state” and taking over the day-to-day governance of threatened places. From contesting environmental abuse to reasserting Indigenous sovereignty, these social movements demonstrate how people can collectively wrest control over their communities from oppressive governments and manage them with a more egalitarian ethics of care.
