Blessed Weakness
Blessed Weakness contains Dom André’s homilies on the Gospel passages for Year A of the church’s three-year liturgical cycle. These homilies reflect Dom André’s spiritual insights about the wisdom in the teachings of Christ. The title conveys a favorite theme of Dom André’s: God’s special love for humans in their weakness, manifested in Jesus’ leaving behind his glory to become one of us in weakness, living among and ministering to the poor. Contemplative reflection on these Gospel passages and on Dom André’s insights will provide a path for the reader and hearer to seek a deeper union with God.
Uprac si svoj život
Prehodnoť svoj spôsob organizovania, zbav sa neporiadku a vytvor priestor pre to, na čom najviac záleží
Dôležitá kniha pre preťažených rodičov, ako aj prepracovaných a vystresovaných profesionálov, ktorá vám pomôže žiť radostnejší a upratanejší život.
Vneste do svojho domova emocionálny aj fyzický poriadok s pomocou rád a praktických postupov na lepšie organizovanie, upratovanie a stanovenie priorít - v domácnosti aj v živote. Tyler Moore, otec troch detí so stresujúcim zamestnaním, mal pocit, že jeho život pripomína preplnenú skriňu: na prvý pohľad usporiadanú, ale za zatvorenými dverami chaotickú a praskajúcu vo švíkoch. Keď toho všetkého bolo už priveľa – na jeho byt s rozlohou 75 metrov štvorcových, aj na jeho duševné zdravie –, rozhodol sa ten fyzický a emocionálny neporiadok okolo seba odstrániť.
Každý svoj krok zdokumentoval na Instagrame a pritom si postupne uvedomil, že upratovanie je oveľa viac než len estetika a odstránenie neporiadku vo fyzickom priestore. V knihe čerpajúcej z jeho skúseností s každodennými vzostupmi a pádmi rodičovstva, riadením domácnosti, hľadaním rovnováhy medzi pracovným a súkromným životom, ktoré podáva so svojou typickou srdečnosťou a vtipom, sa okrem iného dozviete:
• ako dospieť k vlastnej definícii toho, čo je „tak akurát“,
• aké myšlienkové experimenty vám pomôžu viac si ceniť to, čo už máte.
• že cieľom nie je „vždy upratané“, ale „zľahka upratané“, a aké sú ďalšie zásady na odstránenie niektorých psychických a fyzických záťaží, ktoré môžeme pociťovať pri starostlivosti o naše domovy.
• tipy na vytvorenie harmonogramu upratovania podľa zásady „jedna plocha za týždeň“ a ďalšie jednoduché postupy, ktoré zodpovedajú rytmu vašej domácnosti a znižujú psychickú záťaž, ktorú možno nesiete.

Kapitulská od minulosti po budúcnosť
Kniha obsahujúca viac ako tridsať príspevkov ? vedeckých štúdií a niekoľkých krátkych, ale dôležitých spomienok, je výsledkom plodnej spolupráce cirkevných a civilných inštitúcií. Očami bádateľov z rôznych odborov v historickom priereze mapuje všetky oblasti a témy týkajúce sa Kapitulskej ulice ako dejiska udalostí tvoriacich podstatnú časť dejín Bratislavy v ich slovenskom a európskom kontexte.
Značná pozornosť sa sústreďuje na samotnú kapitulu, na jej vplyv na vzdelanie, na výtvarné umenie a hudbu, na priestor, ktorý poskytovala na rozvíjanie talentov osobností, ktoré tu pôsobili. Nie menej zaujímavé sú pohľady dnešných pamiatkarov na otázky, ako sa dnes pozerať na jednotlivé historické budovy i na to, čo ešte chýba Kapitulskej ulici, aby sa stala príťažlivejšou pre návštevníkov.
Ak ambíciou iniciátorov diela bolo podať čo najúplnejší obraz o najstaršej ulici Bratislavy, je evidentné, že sa to podarilo na vysokej odbornej úrovni a v reprezentatívnom prevedení. A to aj s poukazom na odkaz, na ktorý nadväzujeme a máme ho zveľadený odovzdať ďalej.
Zostavovateľ ThDr. Peter Slepčan (1971) je kňazom Bratislavskej arcidiecézy a odborným asistentom na Katedre kresťanskej filozofie a historických vied Rímskokatolíckej cyrilometodskej bohosloveckej fakulty UK v Bratislave. Venuje sa starokresťanskej literatúre (patrológia), kresťanskej archeológii a ako postulátor procesu blahorečenia biskupa Michala Buzalku (1885 – 1961) vybraným témam cirkevných dejín 20. storočia. V roku 2015 sa stal farárom farnosti Bratislava – sv. Martina.
The Revolutionists
In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. United by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and 'Western imperialism', they unleashed a series of audacious attacks that brought governments to their knees and glued the world to their tv screens.
Drawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. Through the perpetrators' eyes - and of the unrelenting agents who hunted them down - he uncovers a dark, complex world of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to change at any cost.
Pitching us into these tumultuous times, The Revolutionists reveals how a campaign led by secular leftist revolutionaries gave way to a far more lethal movement of conservative religious fanaticism that would dominate the decades to come. It is impossible to understand the world today without reading this book.
A Tale Unasked
A new translation of one of classical Japan's greatest literary works
'It is from a desire not to let this impulse count for nothing that I have written this foolish tale of mine. I have no hope that it will remain for future generations to remember me by'
Japanese noblewoman Lady Nijo was made the Emperor's concubine aged fourteen and then, after several illicit affairs, was expelled from the palace, becoming a nun and travelling the country in pilgrimage. A Tale Unasked is her extraordinary memoir of her eventful life, lost for centuries and discovered in the Imperial Library. Filled with startling revelations of the secret intrigues, splendour and sexual politics of courtly life, it is also a moving portrait of a woman of rich intelligence and sensitivity trying to survive in a difficult world. This new translation beautifully renders the sinuous elegance of a remarkable work of classical Japanese literature.

Atlas of Borders
Through 70 stunning infographics and maps, this exciting and timely book looks at the borders that define our current world.
There are borders that are easily crossed and borders that are entirely impassable; there are visible borders - sometimes demarcated by fences, walls, flags and posts - and invisible borders - not seen on a physical map and oftentimes restrictive of access to targeted populations; there are land borders, maritime, political and cultural borders…
Presenting 70 case studies through maps and infographics, two experts in geopolitics reflect on the modern world through the lens of border lines helping the reader make sense of a complex world. Atlas of Borders addresses the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the repercussions of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the migration of peoples around the globe. Featuring up-to-date maps, the book also covers the aquatic borders of the Svalbard Islands, the borders of the eastern Mediterranean and the Blue Line dividing Lebanon and Israel.
In a confusing and at times chaotic world that seemingly defies interpretation, this atlas sheds light on larger issues behind the lines that separate or connect us.

Buddhist Epistemology in the Geluk School
Tibet’s philosophical tradition is on brilliant display in this anthology of works exploring the means to finding certainty in an impermanent and interdependent world. Here, descendants of the great Tsongkhapa plumb the nature of knowing to harness it in the service of awakening.This volume includes translations of three separate Tibetan works by iconic figures in the Geluk school of Buddhism. The first work, Banisher of Ignorance, is by Khedrup Gelek Palsang (1385–1438), and the second, On Preclusion and Relationship, is by Gyaltsab Darma Rinchen (1364–1432). The authors—popularly known as Khedrup Je and Gyaltsab Je—were the foremost disciples of the Geluk-school founder, Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa (1357–1419). The third text, Mighty Pramana Sun, is a commentary on the first chapter of Candrakirti’s Clear Words (Prasannapada) by Jamyang Shepa (1648–1721). These works concern themselves primarily with the Buddhist theory of knowledge—the means by which we are able to know things and how we can be certain of that knowledge. Encapsulating this theory is the notion of pramana, the Buddhist understanding of which was shaped most significantly by the Indian masters Dignaga (fifth to sixth century) and Dharmakirti (seventh century). Based on their explanation, pramana is often translated as “valid cognition,” a literal reference to the kind of cognition that they proposed could be relied upon to supply indisputable knowledge. In the Buddhist Pramana tradition, rigorous reasoning is held to play a crucial role in gaining such knowledge, and there is no better exemplar of the sophistication this endeavor achieved in Tibet than Khedrup Je’s work here. He systematically catalogs and rebuts a host of views with unmatched acumen and flair. All three works illustrate how those who follow the tradition have viewed the systematic approach as necessary not only for textual analysis—for those seeking to unravel the complexities of the Indian Buddhist scriptures and treatises—but also for practitioners aiming to progress along the spiritual path and achieve the highest Buddhist goals.
Digital Exhaustion
We all know the feeling of digital exhaustion.
The aimless scrolling, eyes glazing over at the screen. The feeling that no matter how many messages we respond to, how many posts we read, or how much data we sort through, we can never stay ahead of it.
Digital Exhaustion shows us how we can reimagine our relationship with our digital tools.
Digital transformation expert and Professor, Paul Leonardi, argues that our exhaustion comes from the “exhaustion triad;” that is, the way that our tools change how we pay attention, how we attribute behaviours and intentions to others, and how we experience our emotions.
By creating new habits around our use of technologies, we can set up boundaries so they stop depleting us so quickly. Follow these eight rules to regain control of your life:
Rule #1: Stop Using Half Your Tools.
Rule #2: Make a Match.
Rule #3: Batch and Stream.
Rule #4: Wait. One Hour. One Day. One Week.
Rule #5: Don’t Assume.
Rule #6: Always Be Intentional.
Rule #7: Learn to See Around Corners.
Rule #8: Be Here, Not There.
Discover the life-changing guide to using your digital devices in surprising new ways to help you beat exhaustion and find new sources of energy.
The Last Neanderthal
It’s August 2015. After twenty-five years of archaeological research in a secluded cave overlooking the Rhône Valley in southern France, Ludovic Slimak uncovers the remains of a Neanderthal, frozen in time – a discovery that casts fresh light on a critical turning point in human history. Could these remains belong to one of the last Neanderthals? As scientists from around the world analyze the site, their findings disrupt everything we thought we knew about the final days of these ancient humans. This discovery takes us to the defining threshold when multiple human species, once coexisting in the same world, are wiped from history—leaving Homo sapiens as the sole human survivor. Slimak takes the reader on an extraordinary journey of discovery that is both scientific and profoundly human, blending rigorous research with evocative storytelling. This breathtaking exploration of the past not only unearths the lost world of the Neanderthals but forces us to confront the unspoken question: is this how humanity die? compelling narrative spanning millennia, The Last Neanderthal is both a groundbreaking scientific revelation and a profound reflection on the fragility of humanity and the threads that connect us to the distant past.

Forms of the Visible
Imagery and figuration are not just figments of an artist’s imagination. Perception and imagination are always shaped by what habit has taught us to discern. The visual path we spontaneously trace through the world depends on where we are situated in the four regions of the ontological archipelago: animism, naturalism, totemism or analogism. Each of these four regions corresponds to a way of conceiving the objects that make up the world, of perceiving the continuities and discontinuities in the folds of the world and of drawing the dividing lines between humans and nonhumans. From Alaskan Yup’ik masks and Aboriginal bark paintings to miniature landscapes from the Song dynasty and Dutch Golden Age interior scenes: each image reveals, through what it shows or fails to show, a certain figurative regime, identifiable by the formal means it uses and by the device through which it can unleash its power to act. The figurative regime enables us to grasp – sometimes better than words can – the contrasting ways of living that characterize the human condition and its relation to the nonhuman. By comparing a great diversity of visual images and artworks, Descola masterfully lays the theoretical foundations for an anthropology of figuration. One of the world’s leading anthropologists, Philippe Descola has developed a comparative anthropology of relations between humans and nonhumans that has revolutionized both the human sciences and our ways of thinking about the great ecological issues of our time. His new book will be of great value to students and scholars of anthropology, visual art and art history and to anyone interested in art, culture and the relations between the human and nonhuman worlds.
Kapitalistický manifest
Marx a Engels měli pravdu, když v Komunistickém manifestu konstatovali, že volné trhy během krátké doby vytvořily vetší prosperitu a více technologických inovací než všechny předchozí generace dohromady. O půldruhého století později všechny dukazy ukazují, že kapitalismus vysvobodil z hladu a chudoby miliony lidí.
Dnešní narativy o globálním kapitalismu – sdílené pravicovými i levicovými populisty, ale také velkou částí politického a ekonomického establishmentu – sice nepopírá, že generoval prosperitu, tvrdí však, že se bohatství dostalo do příliš úzkého okruhu. Rozšířil se pohled na globální ekonomiku jako na geopolitickou hru s nulovým součtem, kde je třeba bojovat o kontrolu nad novými inovacemi, zavádět obchodní bariéry a znovu znárodňovat hodnotové řetězce. Kapitalismus je zároveň obviňován z prohlubující se nerovnosti, populistických revolt, klimatických změn a z globálního vzestupu Číny.
Johan Norberg v této pronikavé a vášnivé analýze naopak obhajuje kapitalismus a klíčovou roli, kterou v dnešním nejistém světě hraje volný trh. Tvrdí, že odklon od globálního kapitalismu by nejen zastavil hospodářský růst, ale zároveň by ještě více prohloubil sociální vyloučení těch nejzranitelnějších – a pro chudé tohoto světa by to byla smrtící rána.

With Her Own Hands
A rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment
Psychologist and knitter Nicole Nehrig delves into the myriad ways that art forms such as knitting, sewing and embroidery are liberating for women. Spanning continents and centuries, Nehrig brings together remarkable stories of women, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls maths and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who pass down their histories in elaborate “story cloths” to a mid-century British women’s postal art exchange.
Throughout history, textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest.
With Her Own Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories and created objects of beauty and significance.
Gilded Rage
A searing insight into the political radicalization of Silicon Valley, from Elon Musk to Peter Thiel, JD Vance and Donald Trump, and how it will affect the future of all our lives.
From the pursuit of potentially apocalyptic artificial intelligence to life-extension start-ups that promise billionaires eternal youth and those who encourage the political far right around the world, the Silicon Valley techno-utopian dream has curdled. The global innovator class has the world in their hands, but they can't stand the touch.
In Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, New York Times bestselling author Jacob Silverman leads us on a critical investigation into the radicalization of Silicon Valley and the billionaires that increasingly run our lives, shape the global economy, and support Donald Trump.
At the center of this book lies Elon Musk, but this is about more than just one man and his obsession with the "woke mind virus", as Silverman reveals a network of tech and finance oligarchs, emboldened by the zero-interest rate years, now using their wealth to exert an increasingly radical political program.
Transiting San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Austin and Miami, New York, Washington DC, and various global capitals of tech, finance, and political power, Silverman talks to the people who are already living with the real-life consequences of the political revolution underway. It's a bizarre, sometimes frightening, darkly humorous world where moguls preach populist revolt while dismantling the few remaining checks on their influence.
Gilded Rage offers essential reporting and insight for anyone who wants to know what's happening to Silicon Valley. As the erratic influence of tech elites continues to spread around the world, the story that Jacob has to tell will have a profound relevance for us all.
