Searching for Normal
How can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distress?
More and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism.
More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders.
Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world.
Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment.
So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treated?
In Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.
Hálószobatitkok
Fazekas Alexandra szexuálpszichológus segít választ adni szexuális életünkkel kapcsolatos kényes kérdéseinkre: ha valaki, ő igazán ismeri a hálószobák sötét vagy fájdalmas titkait, hozzá eljutnak azok a problémák, amelyeket nemcsak nehezen tudunk felvállalni, de gyakran szavaink sincsenek rá. A szex érzékeny téma, sok tekintetben még mindig tabu, ezért gyakran titkolózás, szégyen lengi körül. A szakértő azonban nyíltan kimondja és mindenki számára érthető módon elmagyarázza, pontosan mi az, ami a 21. században az online ismerkedés és a személyes találkozók során történik velünk. Elmeséli, mennyiben változott meg az ismerkedés módja a randiappok, a korlátlan netes pornó és a fizetős online szolgáltatások korában. Ítélkezés nélkül nyújt segítséget abban, hogyan tudatosítsuk és fejezzük ki szexuális igényeinket, miközben odafigyelünk a másikra. A könyvből kiderül, hogyan védjük meg a saját határainkat, milyen jelzéseket érdemes szem előtt tartani az ismerkedés és a szexualitás terén, illetve milyen kihívásokkal néz szembe az, aki az online zajban meg szeretné találni az igazit. Ez a könyv hiánypótló a manapság szinte egyáltalán nem létező szexuális edukáció terén. Fazekas Alexandra, aki a közösségi oldalain nagy hangsúlyt fektet a szexuális tudás átadására és bővítésére, most könyv formájában foglalta össze tapasztalatait.
The Ideological Brain
The human brain faces a set of dilemmas every day: how to achieve coherence from fragmented sensory inputs and how to attain connection with other people in an increasingly atomized and isolating world. Ideologies offer a shortcut, providing easy answers, scripts to follow, and a sense of shared identity. Whether our ideologies are far-right, far-left, nationalist, religious, or even progressive, they simplify our understanding and give us organizing frameworks through which to act and interact with others. But ideologies come at a cost: demanding conformity and suppressing individuality through rigid rules, repetitive rituals, and intolerance. Once ideologies grip our minds, they fundamentally transform us, making us less sensitive and adaptable.
Drawing on her groundbreaking research, Dr Leor Zmigrod uncovers the hidden mechanisms driving our beliefs and behaviours. She uses the powerful tools of neuroscience to show that our political beliefs are not transient thoughts in our minds, divorced from our bodies – ideologies actually change our neural architecture, our cells. For instance, she demonstrates how a simple card sorting game can reveal your entire approach to life. Cognitive rigidity in such tasks – struggling to adapt to new rules – mirrors the rigidity with which you cling to social and political ideologies. While some individuals are more susceptible to dogmatic thinking than others, all of us can strive to be more flexible.
The Ideological Brain is essential reading in today’s polarized and polarizing world. To foster a more informed, resilient and freer society, we need to zoom into the processes happening inside each of us and learn to spot rigid thinking in ourselves and others. We need to learn to avoid black-and-white thinking and embrace ambiguity. We need to recognize our ability to resist irrational rules and authority. Regardless of your political stance, this book will challenge you to reassess your convictions – and what they are doing to your brain.
We, the Decolonized
We, the Decolonized is a passionate reflection on the pitfalls of the decolonial venture in postcolonial countries, with particular reference to North Africa. Hélé Béji shows that in many formerly colonized countries, the reality of independence took the form of elusive freedom, widespread disillusionment and the insidious survival of forms of domination bequeathed by former colonial powers. Béji delivers an trenchant critique of decolonization: the saddest of all liberties, because it has not kept its promises. Those who had vanquished colonialism, vindicated civilization and struggled free from the yoke of illegitimate government found themselves ensnared in a new trap, having achieved emancipation without liberation. They remained entangled in a compulsive recycling of colonial impulses. To re-embark on the route to a truly free society, intellectuals and political figures must lead by example in acknowledging the reality of the past, adopting tolerant attitudes towards religions and embracing a new and secular democratic mentality. Béji’s important contribution to the decolonial canon will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the politics of decolonization in Africa and the Maghreb and in the Global South more broadly.
The Rivalry Peril
How the U.S. policy of competition with China is detrimental to democracy, peace, and prosperity—and how a saner approach is possible For close to a decade, the U.S. government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will “eat our lunch,” in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China’s military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability. This in-depth assessment of the trade-offs and pitfalls of protracted competition with China reveals how such a policy exacerbates inequality, leads to xenophobia, and increases the likelihood of violence around the world. In addition, it distracts from the priority of addressing such issues as climate change while at the same time undercutting democratic pluralism and sacrificing liberty in the name of prevailing against an enemy “other.” Jackson and Brenes provide an informed and urgent critique of current U.S. foreign policy and a road map toward a saner, more democratically accountable strategy of easing tension and achieving effective diplomacy.
On Wars
A history of wars through the ages and across the world, and the irrational calculations that so often lie behind them Benjamin Franklin once said, “There never was a good war or a bad peace.” But what determines whether war or peace is chosen? Award-winning sociologist Michael Mann concludes that it is a handful of political leaders—people with emotions and ideologies, and constrained by inherited culture and institutions—who undertake such decisions, usually irrationally choosing war and seldom achieving their desired results. Mann examines the history of war through the ages and across the globe—from ancient Rome to Ukraine, from imperial China to the Middle East, from Japan and Europe to Latin and North America. He explores the reasons groups go to war, the different forms of wars, how warfare has changed and how it has stayed the same, and the surprising ways in which seemingly powerful countries lose wars. In masterfully combining ideological, economic, political, and military analysis, Mann offers new insight into the many consequences of choosing war.

Jak porozumět sebepoškozování
Co je sebepoškozování?
Sebepoškozování je způsob, jakým někteří lidé reagují na silné emoce, stres nebo vnitřní bolest. Nejčastěji zahrnuje úmyslné ubližování si, a to buď fyzicky (např. řezání, pálení, údery do těla), nebo jinými způsoby, které mohou tělu nebo psychice škodit.
Lidé se k sebepoškozování uchylují z různých důvodů – pro některé je to způsob, jak se vyrovnat s přetěžujícími emocemi, pro jiné je to forma trestu nebo snaha znovu něco cítit v době emocionální otupělosti. Ačkoli může krátkodobě přinést úlevu, z dlouhodobého hlediska neřeší skutečný problém a může vést k ještě hlubším obtížím.
V čem mi vedení deníku pomůže? Pomocí deníkových zápisů se můžete lépe zamyslet nad tím, co ve vás nutkání k sebepoškozování vyvolává a jaké jiné strategie vám mohou pomoci tyto pocity zvládnout. Na stránkách věnovaných reflexi následně můžete své deníkové záznamy průběžně vyhodnocovat a na základě toho dojít k hlubšímu uvědomění toho, co vám sebepoškozování přináší, jaké situace ho spouští a jaké způsoby zvládání emocí vám mohou pomoci bez nutnosti ubližovat si.

Nervový systém člověka
Jak vypadají a fungují naše nervové buňky? Z jakých částí se skládá mozek, mícha a periferní nervy? Souvisí náš mozek s tím, kým jsme a jací jsme? Jaké máme v současnosti možnosti vyšetření? Lze nějak ovlivnit naše nervové buňky a celý nervový systém? Jak vnímáme smyslové informace, kudy se dostávají do mozku a kam v něm putují? Pokud si kladete tyto a podobné otázky (nebo vás zajímají), kniha je určena právě vám.
Publikace pojednává o stavbě, funkci, vývoji, možnostech vyšetření i ovlivnění nervového systému. Jeho integrální součást – mozek – má přímý vztah k psychické, vztahové i spirituální stránce a dotýká se tak všech rovin lidského bytí.
Text vychází ze soudobých poznatků lékařské vědy, ale nezabíhá do medicínských podrobností a detailů, které nejsou pro cílovou skupinu čtenářů nutné. Klade důraz na propojení nervového systému (zejména mozku) s psychikou člověka a jeho životem. Zahrnuta je rovněž oblast smyslů a smyslového vnímání. Text publikace je bohatě ilustrován a doplněn fotografiemi a snímky z lékařských vyšetření.
Předložené poznatky soudobých neurověd jsou bezesporu nedílnou a zároveň smysluplnou součástí studia psychologie, pedagogiky, sociální práce a dalších humanitních (nelékařských) oborů. Jelikož je text psán srozumitelnou a názornou formou, může uspokojit i zájemce o daná studia nebo čtenáře z řad širší veřejnosti.
Jak posílit sebevědomí
Co je sebevědomí? Sebevědomí je vnitřní pocit vlastní hodnoty a schopností. Znamená, že známe své silné stránky i slabiny, přijímáme je a dokážeme podle toho jednat. Sebevědomí neznamená přesvědčení o vlastní dokonalosti – naopak, sebevědomý člověk si uvědomuje své limity, umí je přiznat a zároveň dokáže ocenit své úspěchy i přínos.
V čem mi vedení deníku pomůže? Pomocí deníkových zápisů se můžete lépe zamyslet nad tím, jak prožíváte každodenní situace, vyjadřujete svoje názory a pečujete o svoje potřeby. Na stránkách věnovaných reflexi následně můžete své deníkové záznamy průběžně vyhodnocovat a na základě toho dojít k hlubšímu uvědomění toho, jak na tom se sebevědomím jste a jak byste na něm mohli ještě zapracovat.

Stream Big
Told through the diverse and fascinating careers of nine streamers, this is the definitive story of Twitch and how the livestream platform revolutionized technology, entertainment, business, and pop culture.
With 2.5 million viewers at any given moment, the streaming platform Twitch is in the lead and often well beyond mainstream networks like CNN and Fox during primetime. On Twitch, the Amazon-owned tech behemoth, the biggest personalities, like Kai Cenat, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, and Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker, can earn millions per year by firing up their internet connection and going live.
Veteran technology and gaming journalist Nathan Grayson takes us inside the triumphs and tribulations of Twitch with exclusive access to its biggest content creators who helped make the platform into a billion-dollar global business. From Twitch’s early days of rapid growth to acquisition by Amazon to the defection of creators and rival platforms, Grayson makes the radical argument that many social technology companies are far more dependent on their creators than the creators are on their platforms.
Rivetingly told through nine exceptional Twitch creators whose on-screen personalities helped the company grow into a powerhouse, this is the explosive story of when entertainment meets the internet in the era of social and video content domination.
Mediácia v rodinnom podnikaní
Mediácia ako vlajková loď alternatívnych riešení sporov podáva pomocnú ruku pri riešení špecifických tenzií a turbulencií,
ktoré prináša rodinné podnikanie. Rodinné a firemné systémy sa totiž rozvíjajú odlišne a navzájom si konkurujú z pohľadu spravodlivosti.
V rodinách by mala vládnuť rovnosť, inkluzívnosť či starostlivosť a pojmy ako korektnosť alebo férovosť sa zvyčajne definujú tak, že všetci členovia dostávajú rôzne benefity rovným dielom. Podniky sa zasa riadia zásluhovosťou, selektivitou, subordináciou a akcentujú zisk, výkon, kompetenciu, zodpovednosť. Vybalansovanie týchto pozícií je výzvou, okrem iného, pre mediátora, rovnako ako jeho možná intervencia pri otázkach nástupníctva a generačnej výmeny. Prichádza totiž čas, kedy sa aj na Slovensku generácia baby boomerov, úspešných podnikateľov zo začiatku 90. rokov postupne dostávajú do seniorského veku a vzniká problém AKO a hlavne KOMU odovzdať svoj biznis. Podľa odhadov viacerých inštitúcií a podnikateľských združení majú na Slovensku rodinné firmy asi sedemdesiatpercentný podiel na celkovom biznise, ale asi len každá štvrtá má vyriešenú otázku generačnej výmeny a nástupníctva.
Publikácia je určená nielen mediátorom a rodinným podnikateľom ako možným 'laickým' mediátorom, ale aj reprezentantom spolupracujúcich profesií (advokáti, psychológovia, ekonómovia, kouči...), ktorí asistujú rodinným podnikateľom pri zvládaní naznačených problémových situácií.
The Rising Down
‘Remarkable.’ THE TIMES''Wonderful.’ GUARDIAN''Fascinating.'' DAILY TELEGRAPH''A landscape-keyhole onto the whole world . . . Glorious.'' Robert Macfarlane''A thrill akin to discovering buried treasure.'' RICHARD MABEYWhen Alexandra Harris returned to her childhood home of West Sussex, she realised that she barely knew the place at all. As she probed beneath the surface, excavating layers of archival records and everyday objects, hundreds of unexpected stories and hypnotic voices emerged from the area’s past. These electrifying encounters – ranging from those with the painter John Constable and the modernist writer Ford Madox Ford to the lost local women who left little trace – inspired her to imagine lives that, though seemingly distant, are deeply connected through this shared landscape. By focusing on one small patch of England, Harris opens vast new horizons.
Lost Voices of the Falklands War
‘Remarkable and unique’ Daily Express‘I never dreamed we’d go to war with Argentina.’ Rear-Admiral John WoodwardOn 2 April 1982, Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands. Britain was quick to mobilise a task force to recover its territory, but the ensuing conflict, lasting over two months, would cost the British military 255 lives, seven ships and many aircraft.From the initial Argentine landing on South Georgia, to dynamic combat on land, sea and air, Britain faced extreme adversity. However, despite the harsh realities of battle, the British task force maintained morale through humour, camaraderie and the close bonds they formed in the crucible of war.Lost Voices of the Falklands War is the definitive oral history of the conflict, compiled by historian Max Arthur. Through a series of interviews, Arthur delivers a raw, unfiltered account of the violence and the emotional toll it took on the soldiers, sailors and airmen that fought.This is the true story of the heroes of the Falklands war, in their own words.‘Nowhere will you read a record of more concentrated courage, and of the will to win’ Manchester Evening News
Victory to Defeat
‘A compelling history.’ – The Sunday Times‘Thought-provoking.’ – The Spectator‘Interesting and well-researched.’ – The Sunday TelegraphA fascinating account of the decline of an army from the triumph of victory in 1918 to defeat in 1940 and why this happened. A salutary warning for modern Britain.The British Army won a convincing series of victories between 1916 and 1918. But by 1939 the British Army was an entirely different animal. The hard-won knowledge, experience and strategic vision that delivered victory after victory in the closing stages of the First World War had been lost. In the inter-war years there was plenty of talking, but very little focus on who Britain might have to fight, and how. Victory to Defeat clearly illustrates how the British Army wasn’t prepared to fight a first-class European Army in 1939 for the simple reason that as a country Britain hadn’t prepared itself to do so. The failure of the army’s leadership led directly to its abysmal performance in Norway and France in 1940. Victory to Defeat is a captivating history of the mismanagement of a war-winning army. It is also a stark warning that we neglect to understand who our enemy might be, and how to defeat him, at the peril of our country. The British Army is now to be cut to its smallest size since 1714. Are we, this book asks, repeating the same mistakes again?
The Next One Is for You
Northern Ireland, 1975. Violence has erupted on the streets of Belfast. After years as a sleepy guerilla army, the IRA is clashing with Loyalist gangs and heavily armed British soldiers. But the Troubles have spilled beyond the small island: An ocean away, in the heart of Philadelphia''s Irish enclave, a teenage girl finds a letter in her mailbox. Inside is a bullet, and the message is clear: The next one is for you. From New York Times reporter and Pulitzer finalist Ali Watkins, this true-crime saga is the long-buried story of how a group of Philadelphia gunrunners armed the IRA at the height of the Troubles. A ragtag band of carpenters, family men and fugitives, the Philadelphia Five, as they came to be known, banded together, bolstering the fight for a united Ireland but fuelling the Troubles at an untold cost. This small group of Irish nationalists smuggled hundreds of rifles, rocket launchers, explosives and armour-piercing bullets across the Atlantic Ocean and into Northern Ireland. Whether they were skimming money from innocuous-seeming charities, coolly slipping weapons into hidden compartments of vans and houses, or scouring local graveyards for the names of dead Irishmen to use on firearm forms, the gunrunners approached their mission - to unite Ireland under one flag, by any means necessary - with ruthless poise, even as investigators closed in, members of their own movement began to turn on them, and bodies stacked up on all sides.A gripping tale of crime, rebellion and the hazy line between them, The Next One Is for You is the definitive account of America''s hand in the Troubles - a conflict whose resonance is still felt on both sides of the Atlantic today.

Using the Bishop’s Bible of 1568 as the basis for this revision, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and the New Testament from Greek.
