És így leszel egyre jobban


„Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha egyszerűen tudod, hogy mindig rendben leszel. De nem azért, mert minden úgy fog alakulni, ahogy azt eltervezted, hanem mert mindig képes leszel alkalmazkodni az adott helyzethez, akkor is, ha a dolgok nagyon nem úgy alakulnak, ahogyan remélted. Akkor érezheted otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig fejlődni fogsz, és töretlenül haladsz előre az utadon. Ez pedig nem azt jelenti, hogy számodra nem lesz nehéz az elengedés, csak annyit jelent, hogy igenis képes vagy véghez vinni a nehéz dolgokat is. Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig meg fogod találni a békét. De nem azért, mert mindig a kényelmes utat választod, hanem mert hajlandó leszel felvállalni a kényelmetlenségeket is azért, hogy olyan életet élhess, amilyet mindig is akartál. Az élet több a puszta vegetálásnál. Nem azért születtünk erre a világra, hogy mások elképzeléseiben találjuk meg a biztonságot önmagunknak. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy megértsük, mi vagyunk a saját létezésünk oka és mindannak a forrása, amit itt a földön létrehozunk. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy hazataláljunk önmagunkba, és megmutassuk a többieknek, hogy miként találhatják meg ők is a saját útjukat önmagukhoz.” Nem tudod, miért fájnak még mindig a múlt sebei, miért térnek vissza a rossz emlékek éjszakánként, miért érzed magad néha üresnek? Brianna Wiest, a New York Times bestsellerszerzője megmutatja, hogyan kerülhetsz ki ebből az állapotból, és végigkísér azon a rögös, de gyönyörű úton, ami a gyógyuláshoz vezet. Wiest könyörtelenül őszinte, mégis gyengéd – mint egy régi barát, aki ismeri a kétségeidet, és melletted áll, amikor magad alatt vagy. Segít abban, hogy szembenézz a traumáiddal anélkül, hogy összeroppannál a súlyuk alatt; hogy elengedd azt, ami már nem szolgálja a lelki jóllétedet; hogy erővé alakítsd át a fájdalmat. A fájdalom nem büntet, hanem tanít. Engedd, hogy vezessen. Ehhez eszközöket is kapsz: naplófeladatokat, amik feltárják a rejtett viselkedési mintáidat; meditációkat, amik lecsendesítik a benned dúló vihart, és bölcsességeket, amik emlékeztetnek: egyedül te tudod meggyógyítani magad. A gyógyulás nem egyenletes folyamat. Néha visszaesel, hogy erősebben állj fel. Nyisd ki ezt a könyvet, és kezdd el a saját történeted új fejezetét. Mert megérdemled a szabadságot.

The Next China is Still China


Both a revelatory, insight-filled playbook for doing business in China and a probing look at why the country, despite the challenges it faces, still possesses unrivaled prospects for growth and entrepreneurial opportunity-by two leaders who, over the course of decades, have taken turns helming McKinsey's China-based management consulting. In just forty years, China has transformed from a closed economy into a global powerhouse. Riding the tailwinds of its massive labor supply, aggressive infrastructure investment, and ingrained work ethic, the nation became a haven of opportunity. However, more recently, shifting demographics, less torrid growth, and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment have caused some to wonder: Where lies the next China? The authors of this book have a bold and unequivocal answer: the next China is still China. There is no substitute for the Chinese market. China accounts for a staggering 30% of global manufacturing and 18% of global GDP, surpassing the European Union and trailing only the United States. With nearly five million STEM graduates each year (more than the total number of US degree graduates across all fields!), China is well-positioned in an era of technological automation, artificial intelligence, and data-powered innovation. However, the strategies that once propelled businesses to success in China are no longer sufficient. A new playbook is needed. The Next China Is Still China will answer a range of provocative questions, including: * Will China with its aging population fall into a Japan-style stagnation, or can it maintain its superpower trajectory? * What is exciting about the country's vaunted "China speed," and how can multinationals continue leveraging it for outsized profits? * What is the key to pleasing China's "hyper-switching" consumers who have little brand loyalty? * Amid rising nationalism and geopolitical risk, should global firms rethink their China presence or, instead, double down? * As America's tech giants make massive investment in AI, can China's fast-adapting innovation ecosystem keep up? The Next China Is Still China upends conventional wisdom, providing fresh actionable strategies for winning in the years ahead.

Filozofie důkazního práva


Lze pravděpodobnost skutkového stavu matematicky vyjádřit? Jaké jsou principy skutkové argumentace a zdůvodňování důkazů? A jakou roli v tom hraje právo na spravedlivý proces? Monografie je volným pokračováním autorova knižního debutu Hledání pravdy v civilním procesu (Wolters Kluwer, 2020). Tentokrát se soustředí na otázku, co je správné důkazní právo. Na právněfilozofická pojednání navazují kapitoly o skutkové argumentaci, principech odůvodňování skutkových zjištění a o ústavněprávním rozměru dokazování. Autor s podporou bohaté zahraniční literatury ukazuje, že dokazování lze primárně vnímat jako epistemologický fenomén, který zákon až sekundárně reflektuje. Výsledkem je nová teorie správnosti důkazu, která originálně začleňuje teorie pravděpodobnosti do zjišťování skutkového stavu. „Kniha Viktora Gazdy je hodnotnou, přínosnou publikací. Je apelem na nutnost vybudování hlubších filozoficko-teoretických základů důkazního práva. Zároveň je napsána čtivým, poutavým stylem. Představuje odborný přínos v oborech obecné teorie práva i práva procesního a má všechny předpoklady stát se rovněž zajímavým titulem pro studenty právnických fakult i pro kolegy z právní praxe, zajímající se o teoretické otázky oboru.“

The Romans


The definitive history of Rome and its citizens. Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than 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 sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall. The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of 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.

Dítě s chováním náročným na péči


Odbornice v oblasti rodičovství a neurověd Robyn Gobbel říká, že ať je chování dítěte sebevíce matoucí a nepředvídatelné, je vždy možné ho vysvětlit a usměrnit. Je jen třeba zamyslet se nad tím, co se stalo před tím, a pochopit, co se v dítěti děje. Využívá aktuálních poznatků z oblasti neurověd a snaží se rodiče i pedagogy dětí s nepředvídatelným a matoucím chováním dovést k pochopení toho, co se jim dítě snaží sdělit. Autorka průběžně apeluje na nutnost zachování bezpečí pro všechny, tedy pro dítě i jeho okolí. Nepředvídatelné, matoucí a nesrozumitelné chování bývá často nebezpečné, děti poškozují sebe samé, vrhají se do riskantních situací, což se mnohde stáje ještě řeší medikací a omezujícími prostředky. Do jaké míry je jisté omezení nutné? A co dělat pro to, abychom po něm museli sáhnout pouze v opravdu výjimečných situacích? Toto chování často provází děti s hlubší poruchou autistického spektra, s mentální retardací a někdy se týká i dětí s metabolickými vadami. A samozřejmě je problémem i u dětí s vývojovou poruchou chování. Ač se kniha zabývá závažným problémem, nepostrádá jistou míru nadsázky a nadhledu a vede k pozitivnímu vnímání dítěte, k tomu, aby jej rodiče a pedagogové viděli jako celého člověka a ne pouze jako soubor (náročných) symptomů.

This is Fascism


Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats. Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?

Speed


Prepare to view the world through a new lens - SPEED - a groundbreaking exploration that challenges your perceptions of life's driving force, from the internationally bestselling author 'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian In a world that feels like it's moving faster than ever, Smil examines how our relentless pursuit of speed - in areas such as production, travel and communication - shapes not only our technological landscape but also our social and environmental realities. And through engaging anecdotes and striking statistics, Smil challenges the assumption that faster is always better. He invites readers to reconsider the implications of our collective obsession with speed, and its intricate relationship with nature and innovation. For example, he highlights the surprising fact that erosion can actually accelerate mountain growth, and he points out that the rapid adoption of mobile phones - achieving 90 per cent penetration in just nineteen years - reflects historical patterns of technological adoption, suggesting that our world may not be moving significantly faster than in the past. Whether exploring the tiny mites that can traverse 300 times their body length in a second or the societal impacts of high-frequency trading, Speed invites readers to engage in a more balanced conversation about the role of speed in our lives, in an age defined by haste.

The Paranoid Style in American Politics


The classic and very funny account of the dark side of American politics 'Calm, clear, dispassionate and devastating - and a joy to read' Harper's 'Brilliant and influential … his evisceration of populism has found a new generation of readers' Guardian 'American political life … has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds' How can a country be captured by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen? The historian Richard Hofstadter asked these questions in the 1960s, amid fears of rising extremism in America. Yet his dazzling dissection of the paranoid worldview - a brew of overheated exaggeration, suspicion and perceived victimhood that can derail entire nations - is a lesson for the ages in the seductive politics of the irrational. In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter's incisive refusal to see these as something new. In his discussion of famous and obscure untruths, some of which have profoundly impacted American domestic and foreign policy, he provides the antidote for the present day. 'The Paranoid Style in American Politics' was first published as an essay in Harper's Magazine in late 1964 and has been argued over ever since.

Through the Lens of Anthroposophy


What relevance do anthroposophy and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner have for the world today? Spiritual thinker Wolfgang Müller was initially sceptical that anthroposophy had any contemporary value. It wasn't until many years after his first encounter with the challenging and sometimes controversial worldview that a closer study of Steiner's writings prompted him to make a radical reappraisal. In this thought-provoking book, Müller explains how anthroposophy, far from being out of touch with the modern world, has important contributions to make towards our understanding of contemporary life. He shows, for example, how anthroposophy builds on the insights of natural science to explore the inner life of human beings, and how its progressive view of human spiritual development can help us better understand the world's religions. He looks at anthroposophy's approach to medicine, which takes into account both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings, and goes on to consider Steiner's social and political ideas, which seek to bring our public spheres of culture, politics and economics into greater balance. Finally, Müller explores accusations of racism that have been made against Steiner in recent years and shows how they are fundamentally at odds with Steiner's view of a truly universal humanity. This book offers a balanced and well-researched contemporary perspective on anthroposophy from a former sceptic and will be of value to anyone looking for alternative ways of understanding our world.

This Little World


'A perspective-altering take on a world we usually think of in far more domestic terms. A ground-breaking masterwork' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'A page-turning history of how a nation was defined' PHILIPPA GREGORY'A glimmering vision of a Tudor and Stuart England we hardly know, yet which immediately feels essential' ALEX VON TUNZELMANNThe prize-winning author uncovers the revelatory global story of Tudor and Stuart England - told through the merchants, migrants, sailors, travellers and spies who helped forge a nation. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries forged a powerful image of England – Shakespeare’s ‘scepter’d isle’, proud and apart, defined by royal spectacle and myth. But beneath this familiar narrative of ruffs and gowns, kings and queens, lies a more complex and connected reality. England at this time was far from insular. Travelling in and out of the country were Venetian glassmakers with English wives, African innkeepers and Native American envoys. There were people like the Flemish artist Levina Teerlinc, probably the only painter to be employed by four English monarchs. There was William Adams, a Kentish navigator who became Japan's first English samurai. And there was Elizabeth Key, daughter of an enslaved mother in the colony in Virginia, who battled in the courts for herself and her son. Drawing on extensive archival research, attentive to the textures of daily life, yet alive to the sweep of history, This Little World offers a startlingly new, globally resonant vision of England’s past and what it meant to be English. It is a story of a nation in the making – on the cusp of empire – told through the traces of those often written out of it. In reframing England’s story within a wider world, it challenges us to rethink some of our most fundamental ideas: about nationhood, about identity, and above all, about belonging.

The Companion to Heraldry


‘A feast of heraldry and a thoroughly enjoyable book.’ - The Genealogist’s Magazine‘Very readable and lavishly illustrated . . . provides the keys to unlock the mysteries of heraldry and its language.’ - Teaching HistoryUbiquitous in the fabric of our ancient churches, castles and houses, in documents, and on monuments and stained glass, heraldry represents a treasure house of information for both the historian and the genealogist. In The Companion to Heraldry, Stephen Friar, an experienced armorist and historian, provides the reader with the keys to unlock the mysteries of heraldry’s language, conventions and traditions. The origins of heraldry and its significance in the lives of our noble and gentle forebears are considered, as are the interpretation of heraldic devices; the systems of marshalling that record affiliation, marriage and inheritance; cadency, by which the younger members of a family may be identified; and the symbols themselves, which often contain obscure references to a family’s history and its fluctuating relationships with the Crown. The conventions of armory are explained, and there is a useful section on the interpretation of blazon, the language of heraldry, complemented with an illustrated glossary. With over one hundred black-and-white photographs, sixteen pages of colour illustrations and exquisite line-drawings by Andrew Jamieson and John Ferguson, this volume provides a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to heraldry.

The Roma - A Travelling History


A profoundly personal and moving portrait of a misunderstood people and their on-going journey - shedding new light on Romani history and what it means to be Romani in Europe today. The Romani story is not widely known, and that invisibility has allowed fear and hostility to thrive. The Roma, full of extraordinary individuals and hitherto ignored moments from history, corrects this. We meet the artist who chronicled her experiences of the Holocaust in Austria; the boxer who should have become Germany's light-heavyweight champion only to have his win scratched from the record by the Nazis; and a eighteenth-century woman in London who was sentenced to death for kidnapping to be exonerated by the detective work of an unconvinced judge. Throughout, Madeline Potter weaves in her travels though Romani Europe and experience as a Romani woman in Romania and in Britain. Blending evocative history and lyrical travel writing with intimate accounts of racism and calls for change, The Roma is a powerful story of resistance, resilience and survival - and a celebration of a vibrant culture and misunderstood people.
