Sága o jómských vikinzích
Ságu o jómských vikinzích badatelé poměrně jednohlasně považují za jednu z nejdříve zapsaných ság a její zápis datují do doby kolem roku 1200. Hlavním záměrem této knihy je vyplnit velkou mezeru na českém knižním trhu a konečně přinést překlad této staroseverské ságy o „největším městě Slovanů“ u ústí Odry, v němž skoro sto let žili i vikingové. Druhým je představit veškerý dostupný materiál spojený s tradicí tohoto Wolinu/Jómsborgu a nechat nahlédnout do procesu vzniku severských ság, a to jak ve smyslu vývoje ság jako žánru, tak ve smyslu vzniku konkrétní ságy. Pomocí různých dochovaných pramenů proto autorka v úvodu a závěrečné studii poukazuje na motivace vývoje vyprávění a hledá záblesky toho, jak kontext postupně proměňoval příběh o událostech 10. století – o norsko dánské rivalitě, nájezdech otonské říše na Dánsko, o střetech zájmů Dánska, Polska a Saska v ústí Odry či o procesu centralizace Norska a Dánska. Rozehrává fascinující materiál, který jedna z prvních zapsaných ság nabízí, a představuje na něm různé přístupy, jež současné bádání k analýze staroseverské literatury využívá.
The Golden Mole
A lavish edition of Katherine Rundell's gloriously illustrated and fascinating bestiary, featuring three new additions to the treasure trove of vanishing wonders.
The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings.
A pangolin's tongue is longer than its body. It keeps it furled in a nifty pouch near the hip.
A swift flies 200,000 miles in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back -- then back to the moon.
There's a fable that storks deliver babies. In fact, the Nazis used them to air-drop propaganda.
A lavishly illustrated compendium of the staggering lives of some of the world's most endangered animals, this sumptuous, expanded and updated edition of The Golden Mole is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck - to fall for the likes of the wondrous pygmy hippo, the seahorse, the narwhal and, as astonishing and endangered as them all, the human.
Katherine Rundell's book The Golden Mole was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 03-11-2023
Essor Monumental et Dynamiques des Populations : la cite Maya de Naachtun (Guatemala) au Classique Ancien (150-550 apr. J.-C.)
La cité Maya de Naachtun, au Guatemala, fut, a la période Classique (150-950 apr. J.-C.), une capitale politique et économique de premier ordre, dotée d’une architecture monumentale et publique majestueuse et siege d’une puissante dynastie. C’est au cours du Classique ancien (150-550 apr. J.-C.) que cette monumentalité a trouvé son apogée, avec la construction de la majorité des pyramides les plus volumineuses du site, de nombreuses plates-formes, de chaussées, d’un terrain de jeu de balle, de temples. Pourtant, on sait que dans les Basses Terres centrales Mayas, c’est au Classique récent (550-830 apr. J.-C.) que la population était, de loin, la plus nombreuse. Un paradoxe semble donc se dessiner : l’investissement massif dans l’architecture monumentale fut consenti par une population relativement bien plus réduite que ce qu’elle deviendrait au cours des siecles suivants. Quelles furent les implications de ces programmes architecturaux en termes de mobilisation de la main-d’ouvre au sein de la population ? Comment l’investissement dans l’architecture s’articule-t-il avec la démographie urbaine ? La présence d’une population nombreuse est-elle une condition, un facteur, ou une conséquence de la construction monumentale ? Pour répondre a ces questions, cet ouvrage s’attache a deux défis méthodologiques majeurs : celui de l’estimation de la population du site, pour une période dont les vestiges résidentiels sont majoritairement invisibles et inaccessibles, et celui de la quantification (en jours-personnes de travail) du cout énergétique d’une centaine d’épisodes de construction monumentale. En croisant ces données, il apparaît que les premiers tres grands chantiers correspondant a la « création d’un lieu » ont demandé la mobilisation d’une main-d’ouvre assez largement supérieure a la population demeurant sur place au cours du premier siecle de la cité. C’est donc probablement la monumentalité de la capitale nouvellement créée, avec ce que cela implique d’interactions et d’opportunités sociales et économiques, qui a attiré et surtout fixé la population autour de la cité au cours du Classique ancien. Une fois cette étape de fondation monumentale passée, la population sur place était amplement suffisante pour poursuivre les projets architecturaux.

Unmasking Autism
Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism?
For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.
Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.
Rock My Soul
From the late feminist icon and New York Times bestselling author of All About Love, an in-depth look at one of the most critical issues facing Black Americans: a collective wounded self-esteem that has prevailed from slavery to the present day, with a new introduction by Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick.
Why do so many Black Americans-whether privileged or poor, urban or suburban, young or old-live in a state of chronic anxiety, fear, and shame? Rock My Soul: Black People and Self-Esteem breaks through collective denial and dares to imagine a more liberatory framework for understanding "self and identity in a world where loss is commonplace."
With visionary insight, hooks exposes the underlying reality that it has been difficult-if not impossible-for our nation to create a culture that promotes and sustains healthy self-esteem. Without self-esteem people begin to lose their sense of agency. They feel powerless. But it is never too late for any of us to acquire the healthy self-esteem that is needed for a fulfilling life.
While originally written in 2002, hooks' insights into the heart and soul of the Black American identity crisis continue to ring true. Through history, pop culture criticism, and hard-won wisdom, hooks writes about what it takes to heal the scars of the past, promote and maintain self-esteem, and lay down the roots for a truly grounded sense of community and collectivity.
Moving beyond the ways historical racial justice movements have failed, hooks also identifies diverse psychological barriers and collective traumas keeping us from well-being. In highlighting the roles of desegregation, education, the absence of progressive parenting, spiritual crisis, or fundamental breakdowns in communication between Black women and men, bell hooks identifies mental health as a revolutionary frontier-and provides guidance for healing within the Black community.

Blessed in the Mess
Life is often messy. We hear people say, ''My life is a mess'', or, ''This situation is a mess''. What they mean is that life has become difficult and confusing. God never promises us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. Jesus says, ''In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world'' (John 16:33 NKJV).Thankfully, trouble is not continuous in our lives. We also go through seasons that are peaceful and pleasant. But life does not always go as we would like, and we need to be prepared for the times when it gets messy. In Blessed in the Mess, Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed even amid life''s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess collects that wisdom into poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what unpleasant circumstances we may face, we can remain joyful and patient, trusting God as He works on our problems. If you have not handled your problems well in the past, then with God''s help, you can begin to handle them better, starting now.It is possible to allow our difficulties to make us better and to live in such a way that we will end up better off than we were before the trouble began. We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use what we''ve learned to stay out of trouble in the future, and allow our newfound wisdom to help other people mind blessing in the mist of their messes.
The Story of God and Us
Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework—a master plot—to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone''s story: past, present, and future. Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story—the best story ever!—full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God''s story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.? The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how: the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God; God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way; a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God''s. As Jonathan retells God''s story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!
Island at the Edge of the World
''The true and fascinating story of Easter Island and its amazing statues'' KEN FOLLETTWhere did they come from? How did they get there? Why did they carve the island’s colossal iconic statues – and how? What happened to the civilisation they created?These are just a few of the questions about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, that have puzzled generations.Europeans first encountered the Islanders in the early eighteenth century, bringing back astonishing tales from one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. They told fantastic stories of lost continents, cannibalism, giants and aliens. Thor Heyerdahl claimed that the island was discovered by pale-skinned sailors from South America, ignoring the rightful claims of the greatest explorers the world has ever known. Recently, the idea that Islanders cut down all the trees, causing mass starvation and social collapse, has been espoused by scientists, broadcasters and politicians. Now, in archaeologist Mike Pitts’s superb investigation, Island at the Edge of the World, he provides authoritative new insights into what really happened.Using the latest scientific and archaeological research, plus a huge range of historical accounts, Pitts builds a fascinating new portrait of the Islanders’ story. In particular, Pitts revives the life work of Katherine Routledge, who spent sixteen months on the island in 1914-15, surviving revolution and war, assembling a priceless but largely ignored archive of excavations and interviews - and whose legacy reveals the rapacious interference that spawned generations of false histories. Many questions still remain, but this is the most compelling and comprehensive account yet published of the extraordinary story of Easter Island.
The Unexpected Journey
“This book is a game changer for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. This book will help millions of families, like hers, like yours, like mine, like everyone’s. It’s a book for our time.” – Maria ShriverFrom Emma Heming Willis, wife of Bruce Willis, a deeply personal and richly compassionate supportive guide that helps caregivers care for themselves while they navigate a loved one''s dementia.The day Emma Heming Willis’ husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), all they were given was a pamphlet and told to check back in a few months. With no hope or direction, Emma walked out of that doctor’s appointment frozen with fear, confusion and a sense that her world had just fallen apart.In fact, it had. Bruce and Emma had their story written, their future mapped out. Yet all those dreams crumbled with that diagnosis, and Emma felt alone and more isolated than ever. How would she care for her husband while parenting their young daughter? t that devastating time, Emma just wanted someone who''d been through it to tell her, “This feels terrible right now. Your life is in shambles. But it’s going to be okay. Here are some things to think about and put in place so you cannot just survive but thrive.”With The Unexpected Journey, Emma has written the book she wishes she’d been handed on the day of Bruce’s diagnosis: a supportive guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking, and transformative experience that is caregiving for your loved one. Weaving her personal journey as a care partner with the latest research and insights from the world’s top dementia, caregiving, and integrative experts she offers the guidance and wisdom caregivers everywhere so desperately need to hear, including:A diagnosis isn’t just a label, it’s a starting point. It helps you better understand your person’s behavior and respond with more clarity and compassion.Taking care of yourself is not optional; it''s mandatory. It will make you a better care partner. It’s not selfish, it’s self-preserving.You don’t have a choice about being on the dementia caregiving journey. But you do have a choice in terms of how you approach it and reframe it.Caregivers are human so you aren’t always going to be patient and selfless. You have challenges and struggle with conflicting emotions and that’s okay.Ultimately, The Unexpected Journey shows you how to care for yourself while doing one of the hardest, most heartbreaking jobs in the world. Because if you don’t take care of yourself, you are not going to be able to look after anyone else—especially your loved one with dementia.For anyone caregiving for a loved one with any form of dementia, and even for those caregiving for other conditions, The Unexpected Journey shows that you are not alone. As Emma writes, “I know that no two caregiving journeys are the same, but we are connected by the same unchosen thread. It’s not an easy path for you, your loved one or your family. But I’m here to let you know that you are not alone, and, in time, you will find your footing, and a way forward."

Good Ideas and Power Moves
A guide to the 10 power moves that have built Taylor Swift's superstardom and empire, from a former Strategist at Harvard Business School's Institute for Strategy
Taylor Swift's genius is not limited to her singing and songcraft: as the founder of her own multi-billion dollar enterprise she has higher returns than 99.9% of hedge funds, and has built a stronger global corporation than nearly every other American conglomerate CEO. She is the only person that the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank track with precision. She has a larger impact on the world economy than most economists that have ever lived, and has done more for US antitrust law than any sitting member of Congress. There is a lot to learn from Taylor Swift.
Global investment fund manager and former head of Strategy at HBS (and Swiftie!) Sinead O'Sullivan taps into the same genius that sells out stadiums and shuts down the internet to give Taylor-the CEO, the strategist-the respect she deserves. O'Sullivan sums up Swift's business savvy into ten big, teachable lessons, including:
Build a World (Not a Product): how to create value that is greater than the sum of its parts (or, how Taylor created the fan-centered Swiftverse that fosters community, belonging, and off-the-charts engagement)
Be Anti-Fragile: how to embrace volatility, build resilience, and thrive in uncertainty-when your competitors can't (or, how Taylor gamed the chaos of Covid shutdown to own the airwaves)
Don't Just Play the Game, Change It: how to rewrite the rules on your own terms when your chips are down (or, how Taylor almost lost control of her music catalogue to Private Equity-but re-recorded all her masters and took them back)
My Boss Is a Moron
No one sets out to be a bad boss. But some bosses out there really do give it all they've got. One in four of us feel like we are currently working for our worst boss ever. That not only has a huge impact on our enjoyment of the job, but our productivity also plummets, which surely is no good for anyone!
The problem is, when you are stuck with a job or boss you don't like, you are given the same two pieces of advice; either suck it up or go off and find a new job, which costs you time and a whole lot of headspace, and costs businesses too!
My Boss is a Moron is all about the third way.
Serial entrepreneur and content creator Ben Askins shows you how to handle a terrible boss, make the best of a bad situation and still come out on top.
Taking you through the entire lifecycle of work from job descriptions and interviews, to pay rises, promotions, annual leave and so much more, My Boss is a Moron pulls back the curtain on why companies and bosses make the choices they make, and what you can do to give yourself the best possible chance of success.
With outrageous real boss stories and Askins' beloved sarcasm and humour, My Boss is a Moron is as entertaining as it is helpful and is designed to help you sidestep silly company policies and terrible management to ensure that you thrive at work, no matter the circumstances.
The Chronicles of DOOM
A Rough Trade and Clash Book of the Year''Excellent, detailed [. . .] Hip-hop writer SH Fernando Jr benefits from an insider’s understanding of the milieu and provides generous context.'' Kitty Empire, ObserverOn December 31, 2020, the world was shocked to learn about the death of hip-hop legend MF DOOM. Born in London and raised in the suburban enclave of Long Beach, New York, Daniel Dumile Jr.''s love of cartoons and comic books would soon turn him into one of hip-hop''s most enigmatic, prolific, and influential figures.The Chronicles of DOOM: Unraveling Rap’s Masked Iconoclast recounts the rise, fall, redemption, and untimely demise of MF DOOM. Broken down into five sections: The Man, The Myth, The Mask, The Music, and The Legend, journalist S. H. Fernando chronicles the life of Daniel Dumile Jr., beginning in the house he grew up in in Long Beach, NY, through to the mysterious, masked icon that he was to become. Centring the music, Fernando deftly lays out the history of east-coast rap against DOOM''s life story and dissects the personas, projects, tracks, and lyrics that led to his immortality.Including exclusive interviews with those who worked closely with him, the book provides an unknown, intimate, behind the scenes look into the life of MF DOOM, a supervillain on stage and hero to those who paid attention.
Kierkegaard and Phenomenology
Is Kierkegaard a phenomenologist? Much depends on what we take 'phenomenology' to mean, since the word has been stretched in all possible directions since Edmund Husserl wrote his major works. What have phenomenologists made of his writings? This question is easier to answer: he has been a constant reference point for many of them, although there is little agreement about his significance. This short book argues that he is a phenomenologist in the context of discovery, not justification. One finds attention to attunements in Kierkegaard, and one also finds modes of bracketing and reduction. Even so, his styles of thinking phenomenologically differ from those of most writers in this philosophical school. His phenomenology takes a theological path, one that leads from 'world' to 'kingdom,' and one that often turns on what he calls 'the moment.'
The African Emperor
Septimius Severus was Rome''s black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome''s might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the City''s Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died. Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: ''Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.''
