Příběh polabské vsi
Kniha nabízí souhrn dějin polabské visky Čepí do konce 17. století. Neotřelé zpracování látky inspirované environmentálními přístupy je založeno na osobní znalosti krajiny a umožněno mimořádně rozsáhlým korpusem dochovaných archivních pramenů. Především jde o dokumenty tzv. havířského pořádku v Kutné Hoře, který ves vlastnil 150 let. Prodejem Čepí královské komoře a připojením k pardubickému panství v roce 1694 se příběh uzavírá. Četná korespondence poddaných s vrchností nám umožňuje postihnout měnící se životní podmínky či priority malé komunity v průběhu 16. a 17. století, jež se zvláště vlivem třicetileté války a změny klimatu (malá doba ledová) významně zhoršily. Celobarevná publikace, kterou vydáváme ve spolupráci s obcí Čepí, je doprovozena četnými ilustracemi.

Amateurs!
The story of how you created internet culture and why it matters.
Since the nineties, platforms have invited users to create in return for connection. From blogs to vlogs, tweets to memes: for the first time in history, making art became the fundamental form of communication.
What started as fun soon became currency, something vital to finding friends, work, and love. Then, as ‘meatspace’ job security eroded, online creativity became work itself. Now an internet presence is no longer optional, platforms increasingly charge users. Whatever it is we’re creating online, it isn’t amateur anymore. But is it art?
In this scintillating philosophical history of the internet, Joanna Walsh, author of Girl Online, examines how and why creativity became the price of digital existence.
Strong Ground
#1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown returns with an urgent call to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. In a time when uncertainty runs deep and bluster, hubris and even cruelty are increasingly framed as acceptable leadership, Brown delivers practical, actionable insights that illuminate the mindsets and skill sets essential to reclaiming focus and driving growth through connection, discipline and accountability.
Over the past six years, Brené Brown, along with a global community of coaches and facilitators, has taken more than 150,000 leaders in 45 countries through her Dare to Lead courage-building work. In Strong Ground, Brown shares the lessons from these experiences along with wisdom from other thinkers. This is a vital playbook for everyone from senior leaders developing and executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers entering and navigating turbulent work environments. It is also an unflinching assessment of what happens when we continue to perpetuate the falsehood that performance and wholeheartedness are mutually exclusive.
With equal amounts of optimism and caution about AI, Brown writes, 'I hear a lot of experts trying to soothe people's anxiety about the pace of technological change by offering platitudes like, What makes us human will ensure our relevance. This is dangerous simply because, right now, we're not especially good at what makes us human. We're not hardwired for this level of uncertainty, and many of us feel as if the constant need to self-protect is driving the humanity right out of us. This is why organisational transformation today must foster deep connection, deep thinking and deep collaboration. We need the courage to lead people in a way that honours and protects the wisdom of the human spirit.'
Brown offers a broad assessment of the skill sets and mindsets we need moving forward, including the capacity for respectful and difficult conversations, increased productive urgency and smart prioritisation rather than reactivity, strategic risk-taking, paradoxical thinking and situational and anticipatory awareness skills. She identifies the toughest skill set as the discipline, humility and confidence to unlearn and relearn.
Brown writes, 'Individuals and organisations are building new muscles. Finding our strong ground - that athletic stance - is the only thing that can provide both unwavering stability in a maelstrom of uncertainty and a platform for the fast, explosive change that the world is demanding.'
Plato's Second Republic
An argument for why Plato’s Laws can be considered his most important political dialogueIn Plato's Second Republic, André Laks argues that the Laws, Plato’s last and longest dialogue, is also his most important political work, surpassing the Republic in historical relevance. Laks offers a thorough reappraisal of this less renowned text, and examines how it provides a critical foundation for the principles of lawmaking. In doing so, he makes clear the tremendous impact the Laws had not only on political philosophy, but also on modern political history. Laks shows how the four central ideas in the Laws—the corruptibility of unchecked power, the rule of law, a “middle” constitution, and the political necessity of legislative preambles—are articulated within an intricate and masterful literary architecture. He reveals how the work develops a theological conception of law anchored in political ideas about a god, divine reason, that is the measure of political order. Laks’s reading opens a complex analysis of the relationships between rulers and citizens; their roles in a political system; the power of reason and persuasion, as opposed to force, in commanding obedience; and the place of freedom. Plato's Second Republic presents a sophisticated reevaluation of a philosophical work that has exerted an enormous if often hidden influence even into the present day.
Jump and Find Joy
Hoda Kotb didn''t expect to join the Today show at age 44. Or to become a mother at 52. Or to leave Today and embark on a new adventure at 60! Change doesn''t always arrive when we expect it, and its effects are anything but predictable. But Hoda believes that the benefits of change can be extraordinary...if we''re willing to listen to and learn from it. In the tradition of books like Savannah Guthrie''s Mostly What God Does and Maria Shriver''s I''ve Been Thinking comes Hoda Kotb''s Jump and Find Joy - an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. In her quest to better understand change and how to work with (not against) it, Hoda relies on her reporting instincts to investigate HOW change works, WHO is approaching it with grace, and WHAT she can apply to her own life and share with others. Jump and Find Joy combines the wisdom of change experts, insights from the latest work on resilience, and deeply personal stories from celebrities and inspirational people in our own communities. From small shifts in daily routines to major leaps of faith, Hoda shows why change isn''t to be feared but celebrated...and how each of us can thrive in the midst of changes we''ll inevitably face ourselves.
The Word Made Flesh: Lutheran Bodies, 1600 –1720
From children’s visions of angels to the cancerous belly of a king, this book shows how the body was at the centre of religious experience in seventeenth-century Lutheran culture. It explores what it was like to live in a body that was situated between the heavenly and earthly realms in the century following the Reformations, how faith shaped the experience of the body, and how the body shaped religious experience. Lutherans fasted and fortified their bodies through asceticism or exposure to harsh conditions. People of all types could feel the Holy Spirit entering their bodies and follow its movement within. Early modern Lutherans used their bodies to understand the complexities of their world, and by knowing about their physiology we come closer to grasping it. Based on a varied set of sources from the expansive Swedish empire, with connections from Lapland to the North American colonies, this book shows how spiritual experience played out in relation to gender and age, revealing the powerful resemblances that connected bodies spiritually, politically, socially and emotionally. This book challenges received notions that Lutheranism implied a removed corporeality, mediated by an abstracted faith, and offers new insights into studying early modern corporeality. The Word Made Flesh will be of interest to scholars and students in history, religion, history of medicine, gender and body studies.

Kenneth Waltz
Kenneth Waltz (1924–2013) is perhaps the most enduringly influential figure in international relations theory of the second half of the twentieth century. He is considered the father of the structural-realist or neorealist school, and his views on core questions, such as the causes of war and the structure of the international system, are foundational to the field today and likely will remain so for decades to come. Waltz’s writings on both theoretical and policy-related topics, from the balance of power to the spread of nuclear weapons, continue to fuel debate. This book is a groundbreaking intellectual biography of Kenneth Waltz, shedding new light on the development and significance of his key contributions. Paul R. Viotti draws on extensive, candid interviews with Waltz as well as Waltz’s personal files and archival research to provide a nuanced account of the great scholar’s life and thought. He traces the intellectual sources and personal experiences that shaped Waltz’s work, including an intense Lutheran upbringing; service in World War II and the Korean War; and the academic environments of Oberlin College, Columbia University, and the University of California, Berkeley. Viotti examines the key influences on Waltz’s major works, Man, the State, and War and Theory of International Politics, and analyzes their distinctive insights. Engaging with the views of Waltz’s critics and featuring reminiscences from his colleagues, this book is a compelling portrait of an intellectual titan.
10/7: 100 Human Stories
The definitive account of the 10/7 attacks through the stories of its victims and the communities they called home.
On October 7, 2023--the Sabbath and the final day of the holiday of Sukkot--the Gaza-based terror group Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on the people of Israel. Crashing through the border, attacking from the sea and air, militants indiscriminately massacred civilians in what became one of the worst terror attacks in modern history, and the most lethal day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
A radically passionate work of investigative journalism and political critique by acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron, 10/7 chronicles the massacre that ignited a war through the stories of more than 100 civilians. These stories are the products of extensive interviews with survivors, the bereaved, and first responders in Israel and beyond. The victims run the gamut from left-wing kibbutzniks and Burning Man-esque partiers to radical right-wingers, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese guest workers, peace activists, elderly Holocaust survivors, refugees from Ukraine and Russia, pregnant women, and babies.
At a time when people are seeking a deeper understanding of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how internal political turmoil in Israel has affected it, they predominantly encounter perspectives from the powerful--from politicians and military officers. 10/7 takes a fresh approach, offering answers through the stories of everyday people, those who lived tenuously on the border with Gaza.
Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities--depicting the fullness of their lives, not just their final moments--to honor their memories and reveal the way the attack ripped open Israeli society and put the entire Middle East on the precipice of disaster. Each chapter begins with a portrait of a community, interweaving history with broader political analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to provide context for the narratives that follow. Ultimately, 10/7 shows that the tragedy is much greater than the violence of the attacks, and in fact extends back through the entire Netanyahu era, which propagated a false image of Israel as a technologically advanced, militarily formidable powerhouse so essential to the region that it could continue to ignore and undermine Palestinian statehood indefinitely.
An Introduction to the Ethics of Social Media
"Doug Campbell lays out a comprehensive and fair-minded account of both the benefits and the drawbacks of social media for our era. He attaches these evaluations to both the individual and to society as a whole. The case studies are compelling and exhibit a keen awareness of the current moment. How should we live, now that many or even most of us are at least partially online? Campbell addresses this question from the point of view of privacy, attention, politics, misinformation, online ostracism, online friendship, and the potential benefits of simply quitting social media or at least some of its more pernicious platforms. Along the way, Campbell ties his discussions back to philosophical concerns raised by Plato, Aristotle, and Xunzi, among others. He also connects his discussion with recent work in feminist philosophy. And each chapter concludes with a succinct definition of key terms and suggested case studies and discussion topics that will engage students at all levels. An impressive accomplishment, and one that deserves a place in the classroom." —Mark Alfano, Macquarie University
The Power to Destroy
How the antitax fringe went mainstream—and now threatens America’s futureThe postwar United States enjoyed large, widely distributed economic rewards—and most Americans accepted that taxes were a reasonable price to pay for living in a society of shared prosperity. Then in 1978 California enacted Proposition 13, a property tax cap that Ronald Reagan hailed as a “second American Revolution,” setting off an antitax, antigovernment wave that has transformed American politics and economic policy. In The Power to Destroy, Michael Graetz tells the story of the antitax movement and how it holds America hostage—undermining the nation’s ability to meet basic needs and fix critical problems. In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that the power to tax entails “the power to destroy.” But The Power to Destroy argues that tax opponents now wield this destructive power. Attacking the IRS, protecting tax loopholes, and pushing tax cuts from Reagan to Donald Trump, the antitax movement is threatening the nation’s social safety net, increasing inequality, ballooning the national debt, and sapping America’s financial strength. The book chronicles how the movement originated as a fringe enterprise promoted by zealous outsiders using false economic claims and thinly veiled racist rhetoric, and how—abetted by conservative media and Grover Norquist’s “taxpayer protection pledge"—it evolved into a mainstream political force. The important story of how the antitax movement came to dominate and distort politics, and how it impedes rational budgeting, equality, and opportunities, The Power to Destroy is essential reading for understanding American life today.

Poustevníci v tajze
V 70.letech 20. století objevil tým geologů v sibiřské tajze primitivní dřevěný srub a rodinu oblečenou v hadrech, která mluvila, myslela a žila způsobem ruských rolníků za vlády cara Petra Velikého. Kniha vypráví příběh rodiny ruských "starověrců", která uprchla z Ukrajiny ve 30. letech při Stalinově kolektivizaci a vydala se do hlubin sibiřské tajgy, kde padesát let přežívali jen díky tomu, co dokázali sklidit, ulovit a postavit vlastními silami.

Pád vzhůru, 3. vydání
S postupujícím věkem se však před člověkem otevírá nová cesta – cesta, jež zahrnuje omyly, ztráty, bezmoc, utrpení, všechno to, co nás vytrhuje z našeho dřívějšího pohodlí. Tato nová fáze vyžaduje změnu pohledu na sebe sama, v němž se odvážíme dát volnější průchod samotnému životu. Tento „pád“ – který ale ve skutečnosti míří vzhůru – je odkazem světových náboženství, jemuž se lidé nejvíce vzpírají a který je v rozporu s běžným míněním.

Kompletní encyklopedie stíhaček britského impéria za druhé světové války. Kniha z edice Encyklopedie vojenství je bohatá na barevné bokorysy, ilustrace a technické detaily.
V červnu 1940 se zdálo, že je Luftwaffe neporazitelná. Německé bombardéry rozsévaly zkázu po západní Evropě a další na řadě byla Velká Británie. Královské letectvo se ale vzepřelo a nepřátelský příval zastavilo. Nesmrtelnou slávu si tehdy vydobyly spitfiry a hurricany, za pozornost ale stojí i řada dalších britských stíhaček, které se uplatnily v následujících letech, kdy se válka postupně přesunula nad Německo. Prozkoumejte s námi archaické dvouplošníky, jednomístné stroje, které Albionu umožnily vybojovat vzdušnou nadvládu, i skvělé dvoumístné letouny bojující hlavně v noci. A samozřejmě nechybí ani námořní stíhačky nebo první zástupci proudového věku. Uvnitř najdete 116 detailních bokorysů a ilustrací.
