Oil
This lavish full-colour reference guide explores the fascinating history of the substance that changed the modern world: oil. In this compelling account, Ian Fitzgerald tells the complete story of oil, from its formation over millions of years to its first discovery and use by humankind to its role as a crucial energy source and the conflicts that have since revolved around it.Along the way, he covers such themes as technological innovation, cartels and collusions, oil''s ever-depleting stocks and the rise of environmentalism, and its staggering influence on politics and business. Taking us from the days of oil barons like John D. Rockefeller and the first refineries of Standard Oil through to the formation of OPEC in the mid-20th century and the rise of fracking in the 21st, A History of Oil explores everything from the creation of plastics to the causes of the Gulf Wars.
War Without Humanity
February 2039. On the tense Latvia–Russia border, a U.S. Army platoon holds the defensive line. In the dead of night, the forward squad of humanoid robots suddenly disobeys orders and launches a cross-border attack. Watching through his brain–computer interface, the platoon leader can only stare in horror as events spiral too quickly for him to react. Has his unit just triggered World War II? he battlefield is no longer human territory alone. Augmented soldiers—Homo evolutis—are reshaping war itself. Created at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and the Internet of Things, these new beings blur the line between man and machine. AI now offers decision-making and perception equal to—or beyond—that of humans. Biotechnology has resulted in soldiers with superhuman capabilites and programmable digital implants. In this networked world, humans are mere nodes in a vast digital web. But when machines act on their own initiative, who bears responsibility? And when enhanced humans begin to see themselves as a new species, what happens to loyalty, identity, and control? As war moves into uncharted territory, one soldier must confront a chilling question: can humanity survive its own evolution?
Liečivá sila odstupu
Po štyroch esejistických zbierkach, knižne publikovaných v rozpätí zhruba desiatich rokov (2012 až 2023, naposledy: V zajatí zvedavosti), prichádza Ivan Čičmanec s novým súborom esejí LIEČIVÁ SILA ODSTUPU. Nedokazuje v ňom – najmä v prvej časti Kontexty doby (a paradoxy kultúry) – len svoju občiansku bdelosť a vlastne aj individuálnu poctivosť, ale aj svoju citlivú vnímavosť a odovzdanosť záležitostiam ľudského ducha. Eseje z druhej časti nazvanej Literatúra v pohybe (ad: Kafka, Čechov, Dostojevskij, Baudelaire, Flaubert / Jesenský, Timrava, Voskovec a Werich, Kadlečík, Branko, Lasica a i.) prezrádzajú, ako veľmi sú tieto dva referenčné okruhy u Čičmanca prepojené; autor tu venuje pozornosť najmä tým tvorcom a tvorkyniam, ktorí z veľkej časti napomáhali svojmu národu dozrieť a postaviť sa na vlastné nohy. Súbor uzatvára osobnejšie ladená tretia časť Za oponou, tematicky v rozpätí od spomienok na detstvo až po starobu – a nevyhne sa ani vojne na Ukrajine.
? Vďaka viacstrannému odstupu – geografickému, kultúrnemu, vekovému a, v neposlednom rade, aj vzdelanostnému či intelektuálnemu – mnohé skutočnosti, na ktoré Čičmanec upozorňuje, máme možnosť uzrieť očistené od banálnych detailov a nadbytočných kučierok, v ich vlastnom svietivom (alebo temnom) aranžmáne, a mnohé príkoria, obavy či hrozby zakúsiť v oveľa väčšej naliehavosti – aj náš zosun na šikmú plochu. Spisovateľa pri jeho uvažovaní vedie obava o moderné demokratické Slovensko, ktoré sa dnes čoraz väčšmi ponára do vĺn politickej či ideologickej radikalizácie, hodnotovej polarizácie a populizmu, ale aj nacionálneho (nekultúrneho) spiatočníctva.
? Knihu zostavila a úvod do nej napísala Stanislava Chrobáková Repar.
? „Slovo ,elita? nadobúda v našich časoch čoraz pejoratívnejší význam, čo zreteľne naznačuje, že niečo nie je v poriadku. Elita by predsa mala byť čímsi úctyhodným – a dnes by to v našej časti sveta malo platiť dvojnásobne, keďže elitu si volíme sami. Pravda, nie je vylúčené, že práve v tom tkvie časť problému“ (I. Č., z kapitoly Psychologické korene pravicového populizmu).
? Ivan ČIČMANEC (1942) je prozaik, básnik, autor literárnych, filozofických a teatrologických štúdií, ktorý od roku 1969 žije v Nórsku, kde sa postupne vyprofiloval aj ako publicista a prekladateľ. Po roku 1989 mu v slovenčine (okrem esejí) vyšli dve básnické zbierky a tri prozaické knihy, naposledy zbierka poviedok Zažité a vysnívané (2022).
Úvahy o svetonázore z pohľadu inžiniera
Vzácne svedectvo významného profesora a vedca Aurela Stodolu z roku 1932 po prvý raz vychádza v slovenskom preklade. Odkaz skúseného pedagóga nasledujúcim generáciám inžinierov je odporúčaním, čo všetko by mal technik vedieť pre svoj celostný osobnostný rozvoj. Okrem vlastných životných poučení profesor Stodola zostavil súhrn najdôležitejších dobových poznatkov zo všetkých odborov humanitných i prírodovedných vied od filozofie, psychológie, sociológie, cez fyziku, biológiu až po literatúru a hudbu. Aj keď do dnešných dní pribudli už aj nové poznatky, kniha je hodnotnou dobovou výpoveďou a súčasne zaujímavým osobnostným profilom Aurela Stodolu. Približuje túto osobnosť čitateľskej verejnosti možno lepšie a bezprostrednejšie, než akýkoľvek životopis, pretože je zrkadlom jeho duše.

Pánik - Tények és tévhitek
Szendi Gábor könyve megkísérli eloszlatni azokat a hiedelmeket és hamis mítoszokat, amelyeket a pszichiátria, a gyógyszeripar és a média évtizedek alatt épített fel a pánik körül. Álláspontja szerint a pánik fogalma az idők során elveszítette eredeti tartalmát, s ma már nem több ügyes marketingeszköznél. Sokan vagyunk szemtanúi, rosszabb esetben áldozatai annak, hogyan fokozzák le a szenvedő embereket egyszerű fogyasztókká. A kötet bemutatja annak folyamatát is, hogyan rombolta le mindeközben a pszichiátria önnön pozitív törekvéseit, és távolodott el eredeti céljaitól.
SZENDI GÁBOR megközelítésében a pánik nem betegség, csupán az emberi szervezet védekező reakciója, a kialakult körülményekre; evolúciósan jól értelmezhető, természetes életjelenség, amelyet a propaganda tett aránytalanul félelmetessé. A szerző elemzi a pánik kezelésére javasolt módszereket, bemutatja a pánik modern szemléletét, valamint a pszichoterápiás megközelítés lehetőségeit. Hogyan tanuljuk a félelmet, és hogyan győzhetjük le? Hogyan dagadhatnak a problémák hatalmassá, miközben a megoldásukkal küszködünk? Hogyan ismerhetjük fel a pánikkal kapcsolatos tévhiteket, a pánikként félrekezelt kórképeket? Mit tehet a pániktól szenvedő ember a félelmeivel? A szerző szerint a pszichoterápia lényege egy új életszemlélet, a konfliktusok, a problémák újszerű megközelítésének elsajátítása.
"A felmérések szerint az emberek 30%-a él át élete során pánikrohamot.... Lehet-e betegség vagy betegségtünet az, ami ennyire gyakori? Nem lehet-e az, hogy itt egy természetes, ősi reakciómódról van szó, ami a pszichiátria malmaiban betegséggé őrlődött? A válasz szerintem egyértelműen igen. Egy természetes emberi reakció betegséggé vált. Persze nem kellemes élmény egy ilyen roham, és ha azt ígéri a pszichiátria, hogy meg tud minket szabadítani tőle, legyen az mégoly ősi és természetes is, persze hogy a legtöbb ember szabadulni szeretne tőle."
Rendszerek jönnek. Elmúlnak?
A vitairatnak is felkínált kötet felvillantja, miképp lehetne átállítani a váltót.
A történelem harsányan szólt bele az életembe" - tekint vissza idestova fél évszázados pályafutására Bod Péter Ákos, az 1990-es szabad választások után megalakult Antall-kormány ipari és kereskedelmi minisztere, majd a Magyar Nemzeti Bank elnöke, évtizedek óta szellemi életünk aktív közszereplője. De ha már beleszólt, érteni és hasznosítani kellene az üzeneteit. Különösen azon az útszakaszon, amikor a navigáció géphangja megszólal: újratervezés.
A kiváló közgazdász személyes élményeivel színesített eszmetörténeti kalandozásokat kínál az Olvasónak, áttekinti a korábbi krízisek, sokkok, irányváltási kísérletek és rendszerváltozások máig ható tapasztalatait, például azt, hogyan csúszott le az 1990-es években éllovas magyar gazdaság a sereghajtók közé, hogyan szorult a peremvidékre.
Bod Péter Ákos megállapítja: az Európai Unióhoz és főleg az európaisághoz a társadalom nagy többsége kötődik, ez pedig lényeges tétel a 2026-tól követendő irányt tekintve is. Majd hozzáteszi: "a parlamenti demokrácia intézményeinek a visszaállítása az alapja mindannak, amit a zsákutcás szakaszból való kijutáshoz meg kell tenni.

Honours and Awards of the Indian Armed Forces
When India become a Republic, it continued to follow the British tradition and instituted many decorations and medals. Now, the President of India, Service Chiefs or GoCs-in-Cs of the Command confer 15 gallantry and distinguished service awards on the Indian Armed Forces personnel. These awards are conferred for gallantry in the face of the enemy, for gallantry other than in the face of the enemy and for devotion to duty. Some distinguished service awards are also conferred on Service Officers for displaying exceptional leadership qualities. Certain gallantry awards can also be conferred on the civilians. The book attempts to describe these awards so that people know about the gallant deeds of Indian soldiers.
Hypochondria
Hypochondria proposes a bold reimagining of a frequently dismissed condition. Susannah B. Mintz reframes health anxiety not as a pathology but as a site of creative potential – exploring hypochondria as a form of communication, a reorientation to time, a convergence of personal and communal identity, a declaration of bodymind needs and an embrace of ageing’s transformations. Far-ranging in its attention to historical periods, national literatures, philosophical thought and medical discourse, the book challenges the containment of suffering within narratives of professional authority. In doing so, it seeks to dispel shame and stigma, opening space for new forms of connection and understanding through a deeper attentiveness to the experience of illness.
Citizens into Dishonored Felons
Over the course of its history, the German Empire increasingly withheld basic rights—such as joining the army, holding public office, and even voting—as a form of legal punishment. Dishonored offenders were often stigmatized in both formal and informal ways, as their convictions shaped how they were treated in prisons, their position in the labour market, and their access to rehabilitative resources. With a focus on Imperial Germany’s criminal policies and their afterlives in the Weimar era, Citizens into Dishonored Felons demonstrates how criminal punishment was never solely a disciplinary measure, but that it reflected a national moral compass that authorities used to dictate the rights to citizenship, honour and trust.
Omrvinky
Ideálna knižná novinka od Adama Szustaka na Pôstne obdobie.
V tejto knihe nenájdete ani duchovné cvičenia, ani prednášky, ani rozjímania na krížovú cestu, ale krátke a konkrétne pôstne duchovné úkony – malé či väčšie kroky, ktorých cieľom je priviesť nás k obráteniu a obnove srdca a aj tak sa približovať viac k Bohu.
Fundamentals of Biological Psychology
This undergraduate biological psychology textbook offers a critical introduction to brain and behavior. Psychology lectures open with 'the brain is the most complex and mysterious object in the universe', only to quickly reduce that complexity by teaching simplified models. This textbook challenges these narratives by focusing on the latest neurotechnological advances, to clarify the limits of current models, and to inspire the development of safe and accessible technologies for human use. Its central aim is to promote critical thinking and inspire students to pose novel research questions that build from current advances. It is an ideal textbook for instructors who are eager to push beyond a conventional introductory curriculum. Beautifully illustrated and full of practical applications, it is accompanied by teaching slides and a test bank.
Arab Philosophical Trends
This book studies the responses of the founders of twentieth-century Arab philosophical schools to the question of (primarily Western) modernisation in the Arab world, particularly to its relationship with Arab heritage. For some intellectuals, there are calls for a new Nahda or Renaissance, for the Arabs to modernise on their own terms within their own heritage, in various forms. Others are more interested in choosing Western modernisation and accepting the inevitable consequences of secularisation.
Categories
In ancient and modern Western thought, the problem of the nature of categories has been inseparable from arguments about the nature of selfhood; about how knowledge is organised; about how power should be distributed; and about how history should be understood. For Plato, Forms belonging to a timeless order of being played the role of categories or fundamental concepts; for Aristotle categories were immanent in things; for Kant they were a priori logical structures of our consciousness; and for Hegel they were dynamic, dialectical inter-related ideas. In Categories, O’Sullivan shows how these answers have gone forward into the contemporary era, and identifies three key schools of thought that have developed since Hegel in particular. He explains modern thought as a tension between a desire for a single dominant perspective, whether scientific or phenomenological; a belief in irretrievable fragmentation; and an effort to find a middle ground.
Protestantism, Revolution and Scottish Political Thought
During the Scottish Revolution (1637-1651), royalists and Covenanters appealed to Scottish law, custom and traditional views on kingship to debate the limits of King Charles I’s authority. But they also engaged with the political ideas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant and Catholic intellectuals beyond the British Isles. This book explores the under-examined European context for Scottish political thought by analysing how royalists and Covenanters adapted Lutheran, Calvinist, and Catholic political ideas to their own debates about church and state. In doing so, it argues that Scots advanced languages of political legitimacy to help solve a crisis about the doctrines, ceremonies and polity of their national church. It therefore reinserts the importance of ecclesiology to the development of early modern political theory.
Child and Adolescent Development
Only when we fully appreciate the origins and foundations of child and adolescent behaviors will we succeed in uncovering why they do what they do. By emphasizing evolutionary viewpoints of human psychological development, this textbook explains the fundamental underpinnings of young minds and how they grow. New chapters on the biological basis and cultural context of development introduce students to dynamic new debates in the field. The integrative, topical approach incorporates the perspectives that guide today's practitioners and gives students a holistic and up-to-date understanding of development. Box features highlight key debates, Section Reviews reinforce essential points, and “Ask Yourself” questions and end-of-chapter exercises encourage engagement and extend learning, supporting and enhancing student understanding. Revised and updated throughout, this comprehensive, topical textbook uniquely integrates the central themes of modern developmental theory – developmental contextualism, sociocultural perspective, and evolutionary theory – in a strong, theoretical introduction to child and adolescent development.
The War to End All Wars
During World War I, New Jersey played a prominent role in the manufacturing of war-related munitions, created the infrastructure necessary to train and mobilize troops, and supplied a portion of the manpower necessary to fight overseas. Without the support of New Jersey’s industrial base, the war effort of the United States may very well have failed. Contributions from New Jersey ranged from artillery rounds from Amatol, fuses from Bloomfield, shells from Lyndhurst, gun carriages (Singer), aircraft engines (Duesenberg), Handley Page Bombers from Elizabeth, and ship building (New York Shipbuilding and ELCO). Over 140,000 New Jerseyans served during the war, and the state was home to 38 military installations by the end of the war, including Camp Dix. Troops from New Jersey included National Guard units activated and assigned to the 29th Division that trained at Camp McClellan, Alabama, and National Army soldiers (draftee) assigned to the 78th Division that trained at Camp Dix. New Jersey-based units from the 29th and 78th Infantry Divisions would fight in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Women, too, underwent training in New Jersey, in preparation to serve in the Army Signal Corps, while women from the state volunteered to serve with aid organizations including the Red Cross, and raised money for the war effort. In the post-war years, over 160 monuments were constructed across New Jersey to memorialize the war dead and honor the veterans who served in the Great War, including several of the famous “Spirit of the American Doughboy” statues produced by E. M. Viquesney. New Jersey mothers and widows would travel in pilgrimages to the battlefields and cemeteries of France, such as the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, as well as to Brookwood cemetery in Great Britain to visit the graves of their loved ones in the 1930s as part of the Gold Star Mothers and Widows Pilgrimage. This book will for the first time reveal the full extent of New Jersey’s pivotal role in America’s war effort during the Great War, and will shed light on prominent figures and their connections to New Jersey, such as Dr. Fred Albee, the father of bone grafting, Cecil Dorrian, the first American female War Reporter in World War I, Amabel Roberts, the first American nurse from New Jersey to die during the war in France, and Lillian Marx, who danced and sang in Newark during war support donation events.
Becoming Prayer
Inspired by a vivid account of St Francis – where he didn’t merely pray but became prayer – Becoming Prayer introduces readers to the heart of Franciscan spirituality. Drawing on the enduring wisdom of Francis, Clare and generations of Franciscans, including voices like Richard Rohr and Ilia Delio, it offers a rich and accessible introduction to prayer as a way of life. From moments of thanksgiving and praise to silent contemplation, readers will learn how Franciscans aim to pray not just in church, but in every moment. Simon Cocksedge and Nicholas Alan Worssam explore communal practices such as the Daily Office and Eucharist, and delve into prayer rooted in Scripture – through the Passion, the Stations of the Cross, and the Rosary. They also embrace the stillness of solitude: night time reflection, silence and the Jesus Prayer. Rooted in a tradition that speaks powerfully to today’s world, and published in a milestone year for Franciscans globally, this is an invitation to an ancient yet ever-renewing journey of prayer.
