Zápas pod hladinou světových moří a oceánů zůstává jednou z fascinujících kapitol největšího konfliktu lidských dějin. Německý admirál Dönitz s pomocí svých pověstných „vlčích smeček“ zkoušel srazit na kolena Velkou Británii, Japonci používali své ponorky k podpoře bojových lodí, zatímco Američané vsadili na potápění obchodních lodí přivážejících do přístavů ostrovního císařství potřebné suroviny. Podívejte se s Encyklopedií vojenství na slavné U-Booty i méně známé čluny, jež vyplouvaly do akce pod vlajkami různých námořních mocností.

V patřičných mezích
Mladí lidé angažující se v otázkách klimatu, Evropské unie nebo ve sporech s místní radnicí vzbuzují zájem médií i veřejnosti. Reakce na jejich aktivity v online prostoru nabízejí možnost sledovat, jak se v českém mediálním kontextu utváří význam pojmu „aktivismus“. Kniha ukazuje, jak česká veřejnost přistupuje k občanským a politickým aktivitám dětí a mladistvých. Věnuje se mediální konstrukci dětství jako ne-dospělosti, jako určité nedostatečnosti, a jejím lokálně specifickým formám, které zohledňují i postsocialistický kontext Česka. Nabízí odpovědi na otázky, jaká jsou očekávání vůči mladistvým a jejich aktivnímu občanství, jakými způsoby je jim upírána možnost politické angažovanosti a jak jsou reprezentováni jako „ti druzí“ v generačním i mezigeneračním srovnání.
Od lidového umění k výtvarnému folklorismu
Lidové umění je nedílnou součástí zájmu a studia etnologie od 19. století. Za lidové umění byly považovány předměty mající z dobového pohledu estetickou hodnotu, bez ohledu na jejich původní funkci ve venkovském prostředí, na materiál a způsob zhotovení. Tyto hmotné doklady se jako první stávaly součástí muzejních sbírek a byly vnímány jako příklady národního umění.
Až do druhé poloviny 20. století nebyl pojem lidové umění nijak definován a jeho obsah se proměňoval spíše intuitivně. Do této doby se odborný zájem téměř výhradně obracel k minulosti. V 70. letech se však etnologie ocitla na rozcestí a kladla si otázku, co má být nadále předmětem studia v současnosti? Bylo nutno obrátit pozornost k projevům masové kultury a výtvarného folklorismu. S tím souviselo i přehodnocení terminologie a přijetí širšího pojmu lidová výtvarná kultura, který nenese explicitně podmínku estetické hodnoty.
Faktické a právne úkony v pracovnom práve
Publikácia sa zameriava na obnovu teoretického rozmeru pracovného práva, ktorý skúma pôsobenie inštitútov všeobecného súkromného práva na pracovnoprávne vzťahy vo vlastnej aplikačnej praxi. Autorský kolektív podrobne analyzuje rôzne aspekty pojmu právny úkon, ktorý definuje a jeho znaky upravuje Občiansky zákonník , ako aj osobitné ustanovenia Zákonníka práce týkajúce sa právnych úkonov a ich vplyv na prax. Cieľom autorského kolektívu je priniesť sumárne dielo, kde čitateľ nájde odpovede na otázky spojené napríklad s platnosťou právnych úkonov v pracovnoprávnych vzťahoch vrátane kontextu, ktorý vymedzuje Občiansky zákonník, a to v rôznych pracovnoprávnych situáciách (založenie pracovného pomeru, jeho skončenie, realizácia pracovnoprávnych vzťahov). Rovnako cieľom autorského kolektívu je hľadať odpovede na otázky, ktorý úkon je právnym úkonom a ktorý úkon faktickým úkonom a skúmať aj otázky prípustnosti niektorých faktických úkonov medzi subjektmi pracovnoprávnych vzťahov, predovšetkým medzi zamestnancami a zamestnávateľom.Táto odborná monografia sa primárne zaoberá právnymi úkonmi a faktickými úkonmi a jeho nuansami v pracovnoprávnych vzťahoch nielen z pohľadu Zákonníka práce ale aj z pohľadu Občianskeho zákonníka. Zdôrazňuje význam právnych úkonov ako aj faktických úkonov v kontexte súčasnej právnej, osobitne pracovnoprávnej, praxe. Jej praktické zameranie, ako aj bohaté skúsenosti autorov v oblasti pracovno¬právnych vzťahov sú zárukou, že si monografia nájde miesto v knižniciach zamestnávateľov, zamestnancov, personalistov a zástupcov zamestnancov.
Tomáš Baťa a 30 let jeho podnikatelské práce
Kniha Jaroslava Pagáče – Tomáš Baťa a 30 let jeho podnikatelské práce je jedinečným svědectvím o mimořádném vzestupu zlínského obuvnického impéria i o člověku, který jej vybudoval. Autor, tehdejší redaktor baťovského tisku, přináší autentický pohled zevnitř – popisuje pracovní atmosféru, podnikatelské zásady, sociální myšlení i každodenní život ve firmě, která změnila tvář moderního průmyslu. Publikace vyšla roku 1926 u příležitosti třicátého výročí založení firmy T. & A. Baťa a dodnes patří k nejcennějším historickým pramenům o počátcích baťovské éry. Je to nejen oslava práce a lidské píle, ale také obraz doby, kdy se z vizionářského snu stal světový fenomén.
Immigration
American history is, in part, a history of immigration – of waves of people from other lands making their way to America's shores. Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present argues that the past is critical in understanding current immigration; that a new historical perspective offers important insights into what is happening today. Foner examines both the facts of immigration in the past and how they are perceived – the stories, myths, and memories that color how we think of immigration today and the politics that govern it. This new historical perspective helps us understand contemporary nativism, distinguishes what is new from long-established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead. The book is especially relevant at a time when immigration history is being made – on an almost daily basis – yet scholarship on today's immigration does not always consider the past. Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary research, the book makes a clear and powerful case for writing history into the study of contemporary immigration.
Distant Freedom
Chekhov's fiction offers a subtle yet powerful message: another life is possible. Something can always happen to our lives – a possibility that breaks the monotony of servitude and points to a different, more liberated existence. This is the way to approach all these brief tales of lost lives, nights filled with tears and joy, landscapes, or love, against the cynicism of those who believe that time is destined to replicate the same. In these glimmers, new forms of life arise – noble and sensible shapes that we occasionally perceive and may strive to unfold if we have the courage to do so. Jacques Ranciere, using Chekhov's stories as a lens, sees literature not as a source of knowledge but as a catalyst for reshaping the fabric of being. He illuminates the profound capability of literature: positioning us within the landscape of freedom, transparent about the distance it holds from the reality of servitude, yet unwavering in the standards it sets, inviting us to strive towards them.
Pediatric Sleep Problems
A concise, hands-on guide to treating pediatric sleep problems. This second edition includes updated research and practice recommendations, a new chapter on disorders of hypersomnolence, and downloadable handouts in both English and Spanish. It also incorporates new information on sleep health equity, considering such factors as individual child differences, family circumstances, school start times, home environment, neighborhood differences, and sociocultural beliefs and practices. Sleep difficulties are very common in children, with 25-40% of youth experiencing them at some point during childhood or adolescence. Yet, most healthcare providers receive little if any training in pediatric sleep problems—and most training that does exist tends to emphasize medical, rather than behavioral interventions. This book presents highly effective behavioral interventions for common pediatric sleep problems such as sleep-related anxiety, insomnia, frequent night wakings, delayed circadian rhythm, sleep terrors, and nocturnal enuresis. Step-by-step instructions provide readers with the tools to clinically assess and treat children with sleep problems, and case examples show clinicians how to apply the instructions to real-life scenarios. To facilitate implementation, authors Lisa Meltzer and Valerie McLaughlin Crabtree also provide more than 30 downloadable handouts and worksheets that practitioners can share with parents and children.
Cleopatra
'Brilliant and discursive' Antonia Fraser, Sunday Times 'Hughes-Hallett's exemplary reappraisal … throws a searching light on two thousand years of male erotic fantasy' Joan Smith, New Statesman Winner of the FAWCETT PRIZE and EMILY TOTH AWARD In the 2,000 years since her death, Cleopatra has been recreated over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices, anxieties and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B. DeMille she was ‘the wickedest woman in history’. In this revised edition of Lucy Hughes-Hallett’s award-winning cultural history, the real Cleopatra – one of the most powerful women in the ancient world – is skilfully revealed alongside a legion of imaginary counterparts and the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.
Tri hodiny agónie v Getsemanskej záhrade
Tri hodiny agónie v Getsemanskej záhrade sú duchovným ponorom do noci, v ktorej sa v tichu Olivovej záhrady rozhoduje o spáse sveta.
Táto brožúrka je výberom z diela Hodiny umučenia nášho Pána Ježiša Krista vo videniach Luisy Piccarrety a pozýva bdieť pri Ježišovi počas troch hodín jeho agónie:
• agónie lásky, ktorá na seba berie hriechy ľudstva,
• agónie bolesti, v ktorej Ježiš trpí až do krvavého potu,
• agónie opustenosti, keď zostáva sám.
Modlitbovo-meditatívny text nabáda k pomalému čítaniu, zastaveniu, súcitu a hlbokému vnútornému spojeniu s trpiacim Kristom. Je určený tým, ktorí chcú prežiť Getsemani nielen ako biblickú udalosť, ale ako osobné stretnutie, ktoré premieňa srdce, učí bdieť, modliť sa a zjednotiť svoju vôľu s Božou vôľou – aj uprostred bolesti, ticha a temnoty.

The Face
A pioneering study into how we interpret faces and what they reveal about us, from a world-renowned cultural historian.
What's in a face?
The face is the only part of the body where all the senses come together and, over the course of human history, has come to represent who we are as individuals. We unlock our phones with facial recognition; we have our faces stamped in our passports; and although our faces may change over the course of our lives - whether through ageing, accident, illness or lifestyle - they remain a foundational marker of identity.
In The Face, cultural historian Fay Bound-Alberti explores the ways humans have interpreted faces and how they have shaped our ideas of morality, social hierarchy, psychology and so much more, revealing some of the biases that inform our everyday lives. She charts how new technologies and cultural innovations have transformed our conception of selfhood over time - from the growth of portraiture in the Renaissance and the mass production of mirrors and photography in the nineteenth century, to twenty-first century developments, such as digital avatars and face transplants.
Bringing together a wealth of fascinating research, interviews and illuminating personal narratives, Bound-Alberti probes beneath the surface to ask what our faces really say about us.
The Far Edges of the Known World
What was it like to live on the edges of ancient empires, at the boundaries of the known world?
When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his new bleak and barbarous surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilisation ceased to exist. Our fascination with the Greek and Roman world, and the abundance of writing that we have from it, means that we usually explore the ancient world from this perspective too. Was Ovid's exile really as bad as he claimed? What was it truly like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world?
Thanks to archaeological excavations, we now know that the borders of the empires we consider the 'heart' of civilisation were in fact thriving, vibrant cultures - just not ones we might expect. This is where the boundaries of 'civilised' and 'barbarians' began to dissipate; where the rules didn't always apply; where normally juxtaposed cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities.
Taking us along the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from Co-Loa in the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrian's Wall, Owen Rees explores the powerful empires and diverse peoples in Europe, Asia and Africa beyond the reaches of Greece and Rome. In doing so, he offers us a new, brilliantly rich lens with which to understand the ancient world.
The Gender Bias
Two people are firefighters and do the same job. When one is asked what they do for a living, their response is met with: 'That's amazing, you are so brave!', while the other is asked: 'Isn't that dangerous? Aren't you scared? What about your kids?' Can you guess the difference between the two?
These comments are the reality for Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton and many other women at work and in life. Gender biases stop women from succeeding - but why are certain qualities associated with success viewed less favourably for women?
After leaving home at 15, going through extreme personal adversity and a period of homelessness, Sabrina gained first-hand experience of the hurdles women face to become successful. In The Gender Bias, she explores the everyday prejudices women experience through the prism of success. From leadership, to risk-taking, perception and failure, Sabrina exposes the invisible barriers that are holding women back.
Through an analysis of studies and data, Sabrina unpicks why women are judged differently, examines why that matters and offers practical solutions on how we can tackle our biases and overcome sustained systems.

The Death of Trotsky
THE PULSE-POUNDING TRUE STORY BEHIND THE ASSASSINATION THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY'Elegant, unshowy and gripping in the manner of a dependable le Carré' THE TIMES'The page-turning pace of a thriller . . . A first-class historian' ANDREW ROBERTS'Breathtaking . . . This is lucid, kaleidoscopic history' RORY CARROLL'Gripping . . . Full of treachery, intrigue and betrayal' DAMIEN LEWIS In August 1940, a man walked into Leon Trotsky's study in Mexico City and drove an ice pick into his skull. The killer? Ramón Mercader - an aristocratic Spaniard turned Soviet assassin. The mastermind? Joseph Stalin. But this was no simple hit. It was the climax of a decade-long global hunt: a story of seduction and betrayal, of fake identities and secret loyalties, of idealists and fanatics, lovers and spies. While Trotsky raged in exile - still clinging to his revolutionary dream - Stalin's agents closed in. At the heart of it all was Mercader: a man trained to lie, charm and ultimately to kill. Tracing a path from the cafés of Paris to the battlefields of Spain, from Stalin's Kremlin to a bloodied study in Mexico, The Death of Trotsky unfolds like a spy thriller - a story of obsession and betrayal, of dreams destroyed and loyalties twisted, culminating in one of the most shocking murders of the modern age. 'Hugely compelling' ROGER MOORHOUSE'As good as any thriller' HELEN RAPPAPORT

Custody
'A GREAT ROAR OF A BOOK' Sunday Times We think that our children belong to us, but families are fragile things. Every day, for over a century, children have been moved between homes because of law cases that decide their fates. Yet child custody is curiously absent from history books and from how we generally understand our world. Lara Feigel’s groundbreaking book shows the fraught, complex territory of child custody to have been one of the vital battlegrounds of modern history and culture. Custody is the story of seven women – Caroline Norton, George Sand, Elizabeth Packard, Frieda Lawrence, Edna O’Brien, Alice Walker, Britney Spears – who have fought for their children and been found wanting. It is also the story of the children who have lost the care they most need because divorce is at heart a macabre continuation of matrimony in a new setting, with the battles of the marriage stoked into new levels of acrimony by the courts. It’s a book of dramatic storytelling, and of blistering polemic and large-scale historical re-evaluation. Each chapter immerses the reader in the life and times – and struggles – of these fascinating, charismatic, complex women and their children. All of these women were mothers, but all of them wanted and needed to be other things too – writers, lovers, or activists – and they and their children were punished for these attempts. Feigel has been deep in the archives, looking into thousands of other cases in each place and time, and she’s been sitting in on the family courts in the present. So alongside these central figures, the book presents a teeming picture of fractured family life in Britain, Europe and North America across two hundred years, offering a major new interpretation of how our modern culture has evolved. And Custody is an alternative history of feminism, centring on the fraught relationship between emancipation and care. This book is of urgent interest to anyone concerned with women’s roles in the world and how institutions fail them. Ultimately it’s a book that sees custody as the nexus where motherhood, ideology and power meet. Custody cases can seem in these chapters to be quintessentially tragic, but the stories of these passionate, conflicted women also make us want to figure out how to do things better.
