F-4 Phantom II


A concise pictorial guide to the F-4 Phantom, featuring over 200 images. The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II first flew in the 1950s, entered US military service in the 1960s, and remained on duty into the 1990s. The plane gained a reputation for tremendous lethality during the Vietnam War and remains one of the most celebrated American fighter designs of the jet age. This is a visual guide to the type. Chapters are dedicated to each model designation (C, D, E, etc.), including both US Navy and Air Force variants. There are more than 200 photographs, mostly in color, which show the F-4 both in combat and in the details of its interior and exterior design features, markings, and weaponry.

Superkomunikátoři


Řekli byste o sobě, že umíte dobře komunikovat? Nebo se při každém rozhovoru děsíte toho, co může přijít? A věděli jste, že úspěšnost rozhovoru můžeme ovlivnit tím, že si jej „naplánujeme“? Je to tak. Umění pochopit druhé a komunikovat tak, abychom byli i my pochopeni je superschopností a ti vnímaví už co? Přeci pochopili, že rozhovory mnohdy sestávají ze tří základních typů konverzací, na které se lze připravit: *praktické (O čem se doopravdy bavíme), *emocionální (Jak se u toho cítíme?), *a sociální (Kdo jsme?). Pokud ale nevíme, jaký typ konverzace vedeme, pravděpodobně se nedokážeme dostatečně propojit. V průběhu rozhovoru často přecházíme z jednoho typu do druhého. Uměním je však rozpoznat, o jaký typ zrovna jde. Jen tak totiž můžeme s tím druhým navázat skutečné spojení. Bohužel, právě tohle často neumíme a je to škoda.

Grains of Wheat


There is a kind of knowledge that is non-propositional; one variety of it can be acquired in second-person experience of another person, but it can also be transmitted through narratives. This narratively mediated kind of knowledge can be significant for philosophical and theological reflection. Biblical narratives have prompted detailed reflection for so many centuries because they offer profound insights into the nature of the human condition and human flourishing. This book brings together detailed examinations of narratives in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament to yield one large, emergent story, which has something to teach that can be missed when the stories are taken in isolation from one another. These are the stories of Job, Samson, Abraham, Mary of Bethany, the temptations of Christ, the passion of Christ, and the story from the book of Ecclesiastes. Taken together, these narratives depict a possible world in which there is a good for suffering human beings that outweighs their suffering and that could not be gotten without the suffering, not even in a world without the Fall. On this emergent larger story, human suffering is defeated, and peace and joy in human life are possible.

Kaga and Akagi


A pictorial guide to Akagi and Kaga, two early Japanese aircraft carriers that were sunk at the Battle of Midway.  Akagi and Kaga were the second and third aircraft carriers to enter service with the Imperial Japanese Navy. Akagi was initially laid down as a battle cruiser, and Kaga as a battleship; both hulls were converted into aircraft carriers during the 1920s. The two ships played key roles in most of the early engagements of the Pacific War, and both were sunk at the Battle of Midway. This is the illustrated history of both ships, including a historical synopsis, full technical description, and more than 100 photographs and diagrams. Naval historians Lars Ahlberg and Hans Lengerer have established themselves as experts on and specialists in the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during WWII. Their work is differentiated by being primarily driven by the utilization of Japanese-language primary source material.

Intimita – Otvorene k sebe a k iným


Nekupujte si túto knihu. Nekupujte si ju, ak ste spokojní so svojím životom a nechcete urobiť zásadné zmeny v živote. Nebude mať pre vás zmysel čítať, ako je možné dospieť k intimite a dôvere vo vzťahu. V knihe totiž ponúkam možnosti, ako dospieť k hlbšiemu poznaniu a porozumeniu sebe samému a s tým je automaticky spojené aj hlbšie a intímnejšie porozumenie ľuďom vo vašej blízkosti. Ak zvolíte rovnaký postup, výsledok bude rovnaký. Ak postup zmeníte, výsledok bude kompletne iný. Platí to aj vo vzťahoch. Ak sa zmeníte, „prinútite“ vaše okolie reagovať na vašu zmenu a všetko zrazu dostane novú podobu. Túto knihu si teda naozaj kúpte iba za predpokladu, že chcete začať inak žiť. Všetko, čo v nej píšem, mám odžité a vyskúšané vo svojom osobnom živote a – funguje to. Keď máte záujem, vyskúšajte. Keď ale čakáte hotové návody, ako sa vyhnúť konfliktom, hádkam, napätiu alebo osamelosti, smútku a sklamaniu vo vzťahoch, tak zbytočne vyhodíte peniaze. Tým z vás, ktorí chcú ísť „do toho“, prajem pokojné čítanie a poteším sa, keď mi napíšete, ako ste text vnímali, či vám bol prospešný a či sa aj vám potvrdilo to budhistické príslovie: Ak nemôžeš nájsť jazero, nie je to chyba jazera. Ak sa vám nedarí vo vzťahoch, nechcite zmeniť tých druhých. Začnite od seba. Ludo Dobšovič

Mesék a felnőtté válásról


Felnőtté válni nehéz, de nem lehetetlen feladat. A világ népmesekincsében az egyik leggyakoribb téma éppen ez. Bárhol születik meg egy lány vagy egy fiú, ugyanazok az életpróbák várnak rá: útnak indulás, szülőkről való leválás, barátok és közösségek megtalálása, találkozás külső és belső segítőkkel és ellenfelekkel, a saját egyéni mintázatok megalkotása, az intimitás megtapasztalása, az elköteleződés. A mesék akkor tekintenek egy ifjúra felnőttként, ha sikeresen átment ezeken a próbákon, és kézben tartja saját életét. Felelősséget vállal önmagáért és másokért. Indiai, szibériai, afrikai, indián, skót, breton, észt, mongol, japán, baskír, koreai, eszkimó, német, finn, burmai, kínai, ír, török, orosz és magyar népmesék sorakoznak egymás után ebben a kötetben, és lépésről lépére végigvezetik olvasójukat a felnőtté válás buktatóin, de egyetlen állomásnál sem hagyják cserben. Mindig lesz megoldás, mindig lesz kiút, mindig lesz alternatíva. S hogy mindehhez még könnyebben hozzáférjünk: Boldizsár Ildikó minden mese elején megmutatja a hős tudását és tanulnivalóit, a könyv végén pedig egy összefoglaló tábla segíti a mesék értelmezését.

Přičitatelnost vědění o právně významných okolnostech právnickým osobám


Soukromé právo v řadě případů váže právní následky na vědomost osoby o právně významných okolnostech. Je-li právní norma, která spojuje vznik, změnu či zánik práv a povinností s věděním, aplikovatelná i na právnické osoby, je pro její použití zapotřebí zjistit, zda má právnická osoba rozhodnou znalost, či nikoli. Tato publikace se pokouší nalézt strukturovaný soubor pravidel, s jejichž pomocí bude možné otázku vědění právnické osoby o právně významných faktech v českém právu řešit. Podle zde představeného modelu je právnické osobě primárně přičitatelné vědění subjektů, které za ni v otázkách, pro něž je toto vědění významné, rozhodovaly jako členové jejích orgánů nebo právně jednaly coby její zástupci. Právnické osobě jsou ovšem v souladu s koncepcí navrhovanou v tomto textu přičitatelné rovněž znalosti tzv. kvaziorgánů, tedy těch, kdo v předmětné záležitosti vykonávali v rámci právnické osoby rozhodovací pravomoc, aniž byli členy jejích orgánů nebo jejími zástupci. V případech, kdy je aplikována právní norma, jež váže následky na normativní (právně konstruované) vědění, a spokojuje se tedy s tím, že subjekt o určité skutečnosti měl vědět, pak na právnickou osobu dopadá povinnost k řádnému nastavení vnitřních informačních procesů. Je-li tomu tak, lze právnické osobě přičítat též vědění dalších subjektů, které sice za právnickou osobu nerozhodovaly ani ji nezastupovaly, avšak v řádně uspořádané právnické osobě by získané informace předaly těm, kdo danými kompetencemi nadáni jsou. Právnická osoba se tak v případě použití normy pracující s právně konstruovaným věděním nemůže dovolávat neznalosti členů svých orgánů, kvaziorgánů a zástupců o rozhodné okolnosti, pokud je tato neznalost důsledkem porušení její povinnosti k řádnému nakládání s informacemi.

Don't Look Back


Move forward with hope instead of dwelling on the past.There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can''t stop the flow of life, and we can''t stop time. And looking back doesn''t enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: "Remember Lot''s wife." We don''t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she''s the only one Jesus told us to remember.With a rallying cry to "Remember Lot''s wife," Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine will motivate you to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God''s promises and purpose for your life. In Don''t Look Back, Christine will help you to:Stop looking back and start looking to JesusInvite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the places and situations that keep you trappedMove on from where you are into all God''s plans, purposes, and promises for your lifeLook forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. Don''t Look Back will inspire you to move forward boldly.

Lost Dundee


Lost Dundee brings the second city of renaissance Scotland back to life showing, through previously undiscovered photographs and drawings, the life and the maritime quarter of this great port. It illustrates Dundee''s transformation into a major Georgian town at the centre of the flax trade between St Petersburg and the USA, with the development of major public buildings a result of the influx of wealth into the region. This book goes on to examine Dundee''s next transformation into the jute capital of the world. Its identity was transformed by the arrival of railways, which separated the town from the sea, and by the great mills and factories which engulfed it on both sides. The pressures upon medieval Dundee proved so great that in 1871 the process of replacing it with grandiose Victorian boulevards began.The final section illustrates the changes wrought in the twentieth century with the death of jute and its replacement as the city''s major employer by tertiary education.This book draws particularly upon the rich visual history sources of Charles Lawson''s drawings of old Dundee in the Central Library, the DC Thomson photographic collection, and the University of Dundee Archives. Essential to the understanding of this constantly re-generating city, this book contains 150 drawings, photographs and plans of Dundee.

Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, Vol. 1


‘A woman of undeniable courage. She should be heard’ New York TimesFrom trailblazing political activist Angela Y. Davis, a major new collection of essays and interviews that argue for a radical rethinking of our prison systemsAn icon of revolutionary politics, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for prison abolition for over fifty years. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis’s essays, conversations, and interviews over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation. Davis traces a genealogy of the penal system, from slavery to the prison industrial complex, offering a trenchant analysis of the relationship between the prison system and capitalism, both in the US and on a global scale. Combining decades of analytical brilliance and lessons from organising both inside and beyond prison walls, Davis addresses the history of abolitionist practice, details the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and offers the radical tools we need for revolutionary change. Powerful and rewarding, filled with insight and provocation, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, is essential reading for anyone seeking to imagine a world without prisons. 'A brilliantly observant, profoundly knowledgeable, and unfailingly original text . . . A must-read essay collection for anyone invested in racial equity' Kirkus (starred review)‘She has eyes in the back of our head. With her we can survive and resist’ John Berger

Forgotten Churches


Spending his weekends exploring historic churches across the idyllic English countryside – and sharing their beauty and unsung history across social media – Luke Sherlock is bringing English history and the heritage of our rural countryside to a new audience. England is full of incredible churches, from small stone chapels and quiet Romanesque masterpieces, to thousand-year-old Saxon stalwarts, dramatic Gothic monuments and high Victorian treasures. These special places, often under-celebrated and overlooked, dot the English landscape but collectively tell a remarkable story of our nation. Travelling to all corners of England – from the Kent marshlands to the Norfolk fens, Somerset lanes and beyond – Sherlock carefully documents these unique buildings, celebrating their histories and decoding their hidden meanings. Bringing together 70 of the most unusual, intriguing and atmospheric of England’s churches, Sherlock tells stories of craftsmanship and local community, whilst centering these buildings at the heart of our national story and revealing their forgotten secrets and cultural significance.

Love in a Dark Time


In Love in a Dark Time, Colm Tóibín looks at the life and work of some of the greatest and most influential artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Linked by the common thread of their sexualities, his subjects range from figures such as Oscar Wilde, born in the 1850s, to Pedro Almodóvar, born nearly a hundred years later. Tóibín studies how a changing world impacted on the lives of people who, on the whole, kept their homosexuality hidden, and reveals that the laws of desire changed everything for them, both in their private lives and in the spirit of their work. Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.

Norway's War


In the early morning of 9 April 1940, a fleet of German battleships entered the Oslofjord.Norwegian artillery delayed them long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi Blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945.Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath. He focuses in particular on German attempts to use a Norwegian Nazi administration under Vidkun Quisling to impose a National Socialist revolution on the country, and on the many brave and ingenious ways in which the Norwegians resisted.Ferguson describes the occupation in all its aspects – from Nazi terror to non-violent resistance, from censorship to sabotage – via a series of heterogeneous but interlinked narratives. Key players in the occupation and its wider story – including the pitiless Reichskommissar Josef Terboven, the Norwegian crime writer-turned-SS-strongman Jonas Lie, the principled Lutheran bishop Eivind Berggrav and the enigmatic double agent Gunnar Waaler – are drawn in memorably vivid colours.A riveting account of the Second World War’s forgotten occupation, Norway’s War evokes in moving fashion the moral and physical courage of a people who, faced with the brutal tyranny of a totalitarian invader, refused to be cowed.

Warfare in the Robotics Age


"An impressive work.... Thoughtful and judicious in addressing its subject, which makes it a particularly valuable resource and an excellent choice for readers seeking a balanced discussion of robotic warfare."—C. Dale Walton, Comparative Strategy  "Some books come and go. This book, however, will have a lasting impact by teaching contemporary and future generations how to think about the growing role of robots and artificial intelligence in warfare.... Essential." —Choice"This detailed study of the use of robots across all three domains—land, air, and sea—is filled with fascinating details and trenchant analysis.... Highly commended for its balanced and thorough treatment." —Frank Hoffman, National Defense University From artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles to human augmentation … robots are increasingly being used by the military. For what operational purposes? How will this reshape the conduct of war? What are the strategies and capabilities being developed by China, Russia, the US, and other nations, and with what impact on international relations? To address these complex questions, Ash Rossiter and Peter Layton explore the past, present, and potential military use of robotic systems. The result is a critical assessment of not only the opportunities and challenges, but also the dangers, of warfare in the robotics age.
