Growing Up with Addiction


Growing up with a parent’s addiction leaves ripple effects that can be felt well into adulthood. The trauma of familial dysfunction can weave into the fabric of your life, affecting relationships, parenting and work, and even leading to you questioning your own worth, mistrusting intimacy and feeling disconnected from yourself. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. In this nurturing book, clinical psychologist Dr Tian Dayton draws on expertise from decades working with adult children of alcoholics, as well as her own personal experience, to empower you to embrace recovery and break the chain of intergenerational dysfunction. She will guide you as you examine how addiction shaped your family, understand the imprint it left on your childhood and discover tools to heal and thrive. You will learn to process attachment wounds, reconnect with your body, regulate emotions and move towards post-traumatic growth. Grounded in research, enriched by client narratives and filled with practical exercises based on Dr Dayton's own Relational Trauma Repair (RTR) model, this book will allow you to recover from buried hurt and give your inner child a voice, illuminating the path towards a better future for yourself and your loved ones.

The Coming Storm


A prescient, thoughtful and chilling examination of the current state of the world. If there are lessons from history, now is the time when we need to heed them, so that we do not end up in another Great Power war because of the fatal combinations of jingoism, fear, fatalism, and sheer stupidity that set off the first major war of the 20th century. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has to an extent been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers now jostle for regional supremacy our world has become more fragile, unpredictable – and combustible. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century – a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance, when nationalism and populism were on the rise, and many felt that globalization had failed them: a time, in other words, that carries eerie parallels with our own.

The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire


‘Brilliant’ – The Times‘Hugely informative and entertaining’ – New Scientist‘Put this at the head of your reading lists immediately’ – Eric IdleFrom the winner of the 2022 Royal Society Science Book Prize, a thrilling and thought-provoking account of the rise and fall of humankind. For the first time in over ten millennia, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. The global population is forecast to begin declining in the second half of this century, and in 10,000 years’ time our species will likely be extinct. In The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire, Henry Gee shows how we arrived at this crucial moment in history, beginning his story deep in the palaeolithic past and charting our dramatic rise from one species of human among many to the most dominant animal ever to live on Earth. But rapid climate change, a stagnating global economy, falling birth rates and an unexplainable decline in average human sperm count are combining to make our chances for longevity increasingly slim. There could be a way forward, but the launch window is narrow . . . Drawing on a dazzling array of the latest scientific research, Gee tells the extraordinary story of humanity with characteristic warmth and wit, and suggests how our exceptional species might avoid its tragic fate. ‘Like Jared Diamond meets Arthur C. Clarke with a dash of Douglas Adams’ – Philip Ball, author of How Life Works

The Language of Lies


How can you tell if someone is lying to you? Is it possible to separate the truth from lies in what people say? And when should you trust what you hear? Everyone lies. We lie to our family, friends, colleagues and strangers. But some lies are extremely damaging. They can destroy relationships, ruin lives and create distrust and discord. These lies need to be detected. And they can be, if we know how to listen out for them. Forensic linguist Dr. Kirsty King knows that, as convincing as some liars might be, their lies can be exposed by paying close attention to the language they use. It is possible for us to detect whether someone is being deceptive by listening out for key linguistic indicators in the way that they speak and the things that they say. Drawing on research from forensic linguistics and psychology, this book presents real-life case studies and stories to show you how language can reveal the liars amongst us: from partners or colleagues misleading us to killers trying to get away with murder.

Profesionálny vyjednávač


Vyjednávanie je súčasťou nášho každodenného života – v priemere vyjednávame osemkrát denne, aj keď si to často ani neuvedomujeme. A zvyčajne pri tom platí jednoduché pravidlo: ak nevyjednávame my, niekto iný vy- jednáva za nás – a ak niekto iný vyjednáva za nás, šanca, že dostaneme to, čo skutočne chceme a potrebujeme, dramaticky klesá. Autor v knihe odhaľuje, ako preniesť princípy krízového policajného vyjednávania do každodenného bežného života, či do sveta obchodu a podnikania, kde sú v hre peniaze, reputácia a udržateľné, dlhodobé vzťahy. Zároveň ukazuje, že precízne použitie mäkkých zručností prináša rukolapné a merateľné výsledky. Kniha je jedinečná v tom, že spája svet policajného „miesta činu“ s realitou biznis rokovaní. Odhaľuje stratégie, mentálne protokoly a psychologické princípy, ktoré zvyšujú pravdepodobnosť dosiahnutia dohody aj tam, kde by sa zdalo, že dohoda už nie je možná. V centre pozornosti stojí rešpektujúci mentálny koučing – disciplína, ktorá mení vyjednávanie z taktického súboja na produktívnu sociálnu interakciu plnú empatie a racionálnej stratégie. Profesionálny vyjednávač však nie je iba kniha o technikách. Je to aj pozvánka do sveta, kde sa z rokovaní stáva umenie – umenie, ktoré mení nielen výsledky, ale aj človeka, ktorý ich dosahuje.

Pomocí tohoto přístupu lze ocenit krásu a nuance skryté v často složitě vypadajících vzorcích.

V této jedinečné knize plné rovnic a jejich grafů odhaluje autor tajemství polynomů, polárních, inverzních, komplexních, vektorových a mnoha dalších funkcí.

Nulláról az egyre


Könnyebb valamit lemásolni, mint valami újat alkotni. A következő Bill Gates nem operációs rendszert fog megálmodni. A következő Larry Page vagy Sergey Brin nem keresőrendszert fog létrehozni. És a következő Mark Zuckerberg sem közösségi hálózatot hív életre. Ha utánozni próbáljuk őket, akkor semmit sem tanultunk tőlük. Ha megszokott tevékenységet végzünk, akkor csak valamilyen már ismert dologból hozunk létre többet. Viszont ha valami újat alkotunk, azzal nulláról az egyre jutunk.

How to Talk to a Cat


Guided by the philosophical insights of Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, How to Talk to a Cat explores the possibility of dialogue beyond the boundaries of spoken language. Original and effective in its interdisciplinary scope, this book ventures into the complexities of engaging in meaningful dialogue with creatures that do not use verbal communication, focusing on unspeaking beings we encounter in the domestic sphere: cats, babies, plants, and tools, among others. Author Dustin N. Atlas distinguishes between talking to entities in a direct, second-person dialogue, talking about them in a third-person analytical mode, and focusing on how the former is possible in the absence of speech. While many discussions of Buber's philosophy have focused on the I-You relationship, How to Talk to a Cat emphasizes the dynamic processes of dialogue that take place over time where attention, rather than presence, is central. Raising questions about the nature of understanding, cohabitation, and the possibility of connection across different beings, Atlas encourages readers to look more closely at their present life, to reconsider the scope of dialogue and extend it beyond the human to include the silent relationships we share with the world around us. Bringing Jewish thought into conversation with contemporary philosophy, ethology, animal studies, and critical theory, How to Talk to a Cat challenges prevailing assumptions about the limitations of dialogue and expands on the nature of understanding, cohabitation, and the possibility of connection across types of beings.

Chip War


An epic account of the decades-long battle to control the world's most critical resource-microchip technology Power in the modern world - military, economic, geopolitical - is built on a foundation of computer chips. America has maintained its lead as a superpower because it has dominated advances in computer chips and all the technology that chips have enabled. (Virtually everything runs on chips: cars, phones, the stock market, even the electric grid.) Now that edge is in danger of slipping, undermined by the naive assumption that globalising the chip industry and letting players in Taiwan, Korea and Europe take over manufacturing serves America's interests. Currently, as Chip War reveals, China, which spends more on chips than any other product, is pouring billions into a chip-building Manhattan Project to catch up to the US. In Chip War economic historian Chris Miller recounts the fascinating sequence of events that led to the United States perfecting chip design, and how faster chips helped defeat the Soviet Union (by rendering the Russians' arsenal of precision-guided weapons obsolete). The battle to control this industry will shape our future. China spends more money importing chips than buying oil, and they are China's greatest external vulnerability as they are fundamentally reliant on foreign chips. But with 37 per cent of the global supply of chips being made in Taiwan, within easy range of Chinese missiles, the West's fear is that a solution may be close at hand.
