Venice and the Mongols


A global history of commercial and cultural exchange between two great powers of the medieval ageIn the mid-thirteenth century, Europe was shaken by the Mongol invasions. Realizing the immense potential for accessing remote markets in the East, Venetian merchants, diplomats, and seafarers established far-flung commercial networks with the Mongol Empire. Venice and the Mongols tells the story of this dynamic new era in world history, one that saw one of the most advanced maritime powers of the age bridge East and West in a new global marketplace created by the Mongol conquests. In a panoramic narrative spanning nearly two centuries, Nicola Di Cosmo and Lorenzo Pubblici describe how Mongolian support of European merchants allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas across their vast empire, and how cooperation with the khans enabled the Venetian city-state to trade safely, grow its influence, and expand its territory eastward while opening Europe to new markets. Di Cosmo and Pubblici shed light on trade practices, legal structures, and cultural relations, and share new perspectives on Marco Polo’s travels in Mongol-controlled territories. They examine Venetian strategies in the face of Mongol and Genoese rivalry and show how the city-state adapted to the challenges posed by the decline of Mongol authority and the ascendance of the Ottomans in the latter half of the fourteenth century. Blending vivid storytelling with rich archival research, Venice and the Mongols challenges conventional perspectives on the Mongols as mere agents of destruction and shows how Venice ushered in a new era of commerce and diplomacy in an interconnected medieval world.

The Last Plantation


A revealing look at the covert and institutionalized racism lurking in the congressional workplaceRacism continues to infuse Congress’s daily practice of lawmaking and shape who obtains congressional employment. In this timely and provocative book, James Jones reveals how and why many who work in Congress call it the “Last Plantation.” He shows that even as the civil rights movement gained momentum in the 1960s and antidiscrimination laws were implemented across the nation, Congress remained exempt from federal workplace protections for decades. These exemptions institutionalized inequality in the congressional workplace well into the twenty-first century. Combining groundbreaking research and compelling firsthand accounts from scores of congressional staffers, Jones uncovers the hidden dynamics of power, privilege, and resistance in Congress. He reveals how failures of racial representation among congressional staffers reverberate throughout the American political system and demonstrates how the absence of diverse perspectives hampers the creation of just legislation. Centering the experiences of Black workers within this complex landscape, he provides valuable insights into the problems they face, the barriers that hinder their progress, and the ways they contest entrenched inequality. A must-read for anyone concerned about social justice and the future of our democracy, The Last Plantation exposes the mechanisms that perpetuate racial inequality in the halls of Congress and challenges us to confront and transform this unequal workplace that shapes our politics and society.

A szabadság kardja - A Moszad korábbi igazgatója - Izrael, a Moszad és a titkos háború


Izrael mindig győzött. Most is győz. És a jövőben is mindig győznie kell. A Moszad korábbi igazgatója, Yossi Cohen A szabadság kardjában lerántja a leplet Izraelnek a soha véget nem érő háborúban elért sikeréről. Cohen döntő szerepet játszott Izrael modernkori védelmi stratégiájának kidolgozásában. Személyes történetekkel színesíti az ország történetét, és ritka betekintést nyújt abba, hogy Izrael hogyan dacol a létét fenyegető kihívásokkal, és épít fel egy élenjáró, modern védelmi rendszert. Most arra is fényt vet, hogy Izrael mindig megtalálja a módját, hogy győzzön, és bemutatja: - hogy Izrael nemzetként és katonai hatalomként minek köszönheti a sikerét, - milyen jövő vár Gázára és a Hamászra, - milyen árat kell fizetni azért, ha valaki a Moszadban dolgozik, - milyen hibákat követnek el a nyugati hatalmak, amikor a Közel-Kelettel foglalkoznak, - hogy a Moszad miképpen segíti világszerte a terrorelhárítást, - hogy a kémkedés művészete hogyan változott a MI és a közösségi média megjelenésével, - mit jelent Donald Trump második elnöksége Izrael számára. A mai változó világban Izraelnek meg kell őriznie az alkalmazkodóképességét és az elszántságát, hogy fennmaradhasson. Cohen azt vizsgálja, hogy Izrael mi módon éri ezt el: a hírszerzési adatok kiértékelésével, az emberi találékonyság előtérbe helyezésével, a többi országgal való együttműködéssel (még olyanokkal is, amikre nem is gondolnánk), és annak biztosításával, hogy az ellenség még az összetűzések kirobbanása előtt féljen a vereségtől. David Ben-Gurion szavaival élve: "A történelmet nem írják, hanem megteremtik". Izgalmas titkos műveletektől a határokat védő stratégiákig, A szabadság kardja azt mutatja be, hogy Izrael nem véletlenül vált sebezhető országból világhatalommá.

Základy psychopatologie z pohledu gestalt terapie


Kniha představuje pohled moderní gestalt terapie na psychopatologii a klinickou praxi. Jedná se o úvod do způsobu chápání lidského utrpení z fenomenologického hlediska a přístupu teorie pole. Předkládané pojetí se zaměřuje na to, jak se prožitek utrpení (např. paniky, deprese, psychózy, obsedantně-kompulzivní poruchy) objevuje tady a teď v dané situaci – co prožívá pacient, co terapeut, co se objevuje mezi nimi a kolem nich, jakou atmosféru vytvářejí a jak ona vytváří je. Psychopatologické jevy tedy nejsou nazírány jako pouhé vnitřní události pacienta. Místo toho se v knize s psychopatologií setkáváme jako s krajinou, kterou můžeme společně obývat a kultivovat, abychom v ní byli plně existující a přítomní, a tím se proměňovali. Autor popisuje složitost klinických jevů stručným a jednoduchým způsobem, nastiňuje originální způsob chápání lidského utrpení a nabízí praktické nástroje pro klinickou praxi. Kniha je určena gestalt psychoterapeutům, ale i dalším odborníkům, kteří pracují v oblasti psychoterapie a psychiatrie.

Labyrintom Biblie II.


Čo ak je viera niečo celkom iné, než sme si zvykli myslieť? Nie súbor poučiek, príslušnosť ku konfesii ani relikt starého sveta, ale hlboká ľudská schopnosť dôverovať, hľadať pravdu a nachádzať zmysel vlastného bytia. Kniha Labyrintom Biblie II. pozýva čitateľa k odvahe veriť – veriť niečomu hlbšiemu než sebe samému. Autor knihy sa pohybuje na hranici filozofie, psychológie a biblického rozprávania. Otvára otázky, ktoré sa týkajú rovnako veriaceho aj skeptika: Ako vzniká naše presvedčenie o pravde? Dá sa žiť len z toho, čo možno zmerať? A čo sa stane s človekom, keď stratí schopnosť dôvery? Labyrint Biblie tu nie je miestom dogiem, ale cestou vnútorného hľadania. Viera v tejto knihe nie je slepým prijímaním odpovedí. Naopak – je neustále skúšaná rozumom, pochybnosťou, skúsenosťou i vlastným životom.

Crises and Popular Dissent


A timely and updated second edition, this version of Crises and Popular Dissent moves on from a focus on the causes of populism to a wider analysis of the global struggle between liberal democracy and authoritarianism, including the continuing impact of populism. Within this epoch defining conflict, O’Donnell analyses related themes such as repression/liberty, identity-culture/social-political solidarity, climate change/immigration, the impact of digital revolution, and the late modern restructuring of power and wealth. O’Donnell outlines contemporary crises in a global context, mainly in relation to Europe and the Americas and with recurrent reference to the Global South. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, supported, but without major direct military engagement, by China, Iran, and North Korea, revives, in a different form, the ‘cold war’ ideological and territorial conflict between Russia and ‘the West’. Add the deeply disturbing humanitarian and democratic issues raised by the Israel-Hamas war, O’Donnell chronicles a liberal democracy in a state of crisis. Revitalising discussion around the ‘contradiction’ in liberal democracy between free market capitalism and social inequality in the politico-cultural crises of the current century: various extra-parliamentary protest movements, of left and right are discussed. Drawing partly on democratic forms adopted by a variety of populist. and non-populist social movements, ‘radical democracy’ is introduced as a way of reorienting the liberal progressive dynamic. Centring around three broad political groupings – liberal, authoritarian, and social movements of protest – the chapters represent the different ideologies and political strategies at the core of the crises discussed. Exploring their origins, outcomes, and extrapolating their likely trajectories, O’Donnell also makes suggestions for institutional change and socio-political policy reform.

Charlottesville


In August 2017, over a thousand neo-Nazis, fascists, Klan members, and neo-Confederates descended on a small southern city to protest the pending removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Within an hour of their arrival, the city’s historic downtown was a scene of bedlam as armored far-right cadres battled activists in the streets. Before the weekend was over, a neo-Nazi had driven a car into a throng of counterprotesters, killing a young woman and injuring dozens. Pulitzer Prize finalist Deborah Baker has written a riveting and panoptic account of what unfolded that weekend, focusing less on the rally’s far-right leaders than on the story of the city itself. University, local, and state officials, including law enforcement, were unable or unwilling to grasp the gathering threat. Clergy, activists, and organizers from all walks of life saw more clearly what was coming and, at great personal risk, worked to warn and defend their city. To understand why their warnings fell on deaf ears, Baker does a deep dive into American history. In her research, she discovers an uncannily similar event that took place decades before when an emissary of the poet and fascist Ezra Pound arrived in Charlottesville intending to start a race war. In Charlottesville, Baker shows how a city more associated with Thomas Jefferson than civil unrest became a flashpoint in a continuing struggle over our nation’s founding myths.

Four Against the West


Roy Bean was an American saloon-keeper and Justice of the Peace in Texas, who called himself 'The Only Law West of the Pecos'. He and his three brothers set out from Kentucky in the mid 1840s, heading into the American frontier to find their fortunes. Their lifetimes of triumphs, tragedies, laurels and scandals will play out on the battlefields of Mexico, in shady dealings in California city halls, inside eccentric saloon courtrooms of Texas, and along the blood-soaked Santa Fe Trail from Missouri to New Mexico. They will kill men, and murder will likewise stalk them. The Beans chase their American dreams as the nation reinvents itself as a coast-to-coast powerhouse, only to be tested by the Civil War. During their saga, the brothers become soldiers, judges, husbands, guerillas, lawmen, entrepreneurs, refugees, fathers, politicians, pioneers and – in Judge Roy Bean’s case – one of the Old West’s best known but least understood scoundrels. Using new information gleaned from exhaustive research, Joe Pappalardo's Four Against the West is an unprecedented and vivid telling of the intertwined stories of all four Bean brothers, exploring for the first time how their relentless ambitions helped create a new America.

Fear No Pharaoh


In Fear No Pharaoh, the journalist and historian Richard Kreitner sets this question at the heart of the Civil War era. He tells the intertwined stories of six American Jews who helped to shape a tumultuous time, including Judah Benjamin, the secretive lawyer who became Jefferson Davis’s trusted confidante; Morris Raphall, a Swedish-born rabbi who defended slavery as biblically justified; and Raphall’s rival rabbis - Isaac Mayer Wise, who urged Jews to stay out of the slavery controversy to avoid attracting attention, and David Einhorn, whose fiery sermons condemning bondage led to a pro-slavery mob threatening his life. We also meet August Bondi, a veteran of Europe’s 1848 revolutions, who fought with John Brown in Bleeding Kansas and later in the Union Army, and the Polish émigré Ernestine Rose, a feminist, atheist, and abolitionist who championed “emancipation of all kinds.”As he tracks these characters, Kreitner illuminates the shifting dynamics of Jewish life in America - and the debates about religion, morality, and politics that endure to this day.

The Ride


On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt. Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come - as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding stories. In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a new narrative informed by fresh research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere’s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed - a coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America’s independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride recreates an essential American story for a new generation of readers.

Exploring how the boundary between the extremist far right and centre-right parties and politics became blurred, Normalization of the Global Far Right: Pandemic Disruption deconstructs one of the most pressing issues of today: the rise of the far right. Taking a critical look at the ‘normalisation’ of far-right thinking underpinned by gendered racisms, Vieten and Poynting trace the emergence of transnational far right populist movements and how these have been shaped by European colonialism, white supremacy, and ideological legacies of the Empire alike.
