Pakt - Stalin, Hitler a příběh jedné vražedné aliance 1939–1941
Hitlerovo spojenectví se Stalinem, známé jako pakt Ribbentrop-Molotov, nebylo jen dočasným příměřím mezi oběma totalitními mocnostmi, ale prakticky umožnilo nacistickému Německu rozpoutat druhou světovou válku v podobě napadení Polska a stalinskému Sovětskému svazu obsadit Pobaltí a po válce s Finskem i část jeho území. Během prvních dvaadvaceti měsíců druhé světové války tak spolupráce obou diktátorů od základu změnila politickou situaci na celém kontinentu.
Claudia Weberová ve své monografické, a přitom čtivé práci na základě historických pramenů a archivních dokumentů pečlivě sleduje, co onomu osudovému spojenectví předcházelo, plasticky líčí, jak si Hitler a Stalin v letech 1939–1941 rozdělili kontinent, jak probíhala konkrétní vyjednávání a jak se toto spojenectví nakonec rozpadlo. Mj. při tom analyzuje německo-sovětskou spolupráci v populační a přesídlovací politice a odhaluje otřesné kroky proti válečným uprchlíkům: proti Židům, Polákům a Ukrajincům.
Metapragmatické jevy a čeština
Studie navazuje na autorčiny předchozí publikace z oblasti lingvistické pragmatiky (Pragmatika v češtině, Česká věta na rozhraní mezi gramatikou a pragmatikou) a na některé stati zveřejněné v posledních letech. Na parciální metapragmatická témata stručně upozornila závěrečná kapitola Pragmatiky v češtině, současná monografie se této problematice věnuje s velkou důkladností.Z analýzy využitých textů vyplývá, že meta-přístup představuje nejen jiný úhel pohledu na užívání jazyka, ale také umožňuje zasadit dřívější pozorování a rozbory do systematického rámce a zachytit vztahy mezi jevy, v nichž se projevuje reflexe jednotlivých aspektů úzu. Právě prezentaci takového rámce, který různé indikátory metapragmatického povědomí diferencuje a ukazuje jejich interakci, lze považovat za přínos metapragmatického přístupu této publikace. Dokladuje, že metapragmatický přístup není se základními tématy lingvistické pragmatiky v rozporu, naopak je doplňuje.

How to Feed the World
In this ambitious, myth-busting book, leading scientist and internationally bestselling author Vaclav Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today: Why are some of the world's biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations? Why is food waste a colossal 1,000kcal per person daily, and how can we solve that? Could we all go vegan and be healthy? Should we? How will we feed the ballooning population without killing the planet?
How Food Really Works shows how we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. Ultimately, this data-based, rigorously researched guide explains how we will survive and thrive long into the future.
Môj život s BOHOM
Dielo ,,Môj život s Bohom,, je veľmi úzko späté s kresťanstvom, a jeho ponímaním v dnešnej dobe... Autor knihy sa v obsahu zameriava na jeho vlastný život s Bohom. Opisovanie jeho vlastnej biografie s Bohom je úzko späté a prelínajúce sa s jeho reálnymi životnými situáciami, kde ho doslova sám Boh vyťahuje z problémov a nástrah, ktoré ho v živote čakajú, alebo sa práve dejú... A to konkrétne v autorových snoch, ktoré v tomto diele opisuje, kde ho Boh varuje pred jeho životnými situáciami, či problémami, ktoré ho v živote bezprostredne čakajú... Boh mu takto pomáha pripraviť sa a čeliť už priamo ľuďom, alebo situáciám v jeho reálnom živote... Autor sa v diele zameriava a poukazuje na Božiu schopnosť komunikácie s ním, ktorá je reálna, nie len fiktívna..., a kde autor vo svojom reálnom živote čelí neprajným ľuďom, či problémom života... Sám autor v knihe hovorí, doslova...: ,,Boh existuje, ja a môj život sú toho dôkazom..." Na túto realitu spojenú s vierou v Boha a reálnym životom, hmatateľnými situáciami a proroctvami, je potrebné čitateľmi hľadať odpoveď, ktorá po podrobnom bádaní, jednoznačne poukauzuje na to, že BOH EXISTUJE...

The End of Enlightenment
'A brilliant work of intellectual interpretation by our foremost historian of Enlightenment ideas. Whatmore rescues the Enlightenment from today's circular debates and places it where it belongs: in the pulsing, chaotic era of its genesis and demise' Christopher de Bellaigue
The Enlightenment is popularly seen as the Age of Reason, a key moment in human history when ideals such as freedom, progress, natural rights and constitutional government prevailed. In this radical re-evaluation, historian Richard Whatmore shows why, for many at its centre, the Enlightenment was a profound failure.
By the early eighteenth century, hope was widespread that Enlightenment could be coupled with toleration, the progress of commerce and the end of the fanatic wars of religion that were destroying Europe. At its heart was the battle to establish and maintain liberty in free states - and the hope that absolute monarchies such as France and free states like Britain might even subsist together, equally respectful of civil liberties. Yet all of this collapsed when states pursued wealth and empire by means of war. Xenophobia was rife and liberty itself turned fanatic.
The End of Enlightenment traces the changing perspectives of economists, philosophers, politicians and polemicists around the world, including figures as diverse as David Hume, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke and Mary Wollstonecraft. They had strived to replace superstition with reason, but witnessed instead terror and revolution, corruption, gross commercial excess and the continued growth of violent colonialism.
Returning us to these tumultuous events and ideas, and digging deep into the thought of the men and women who defined their age, Whatmore offers a lucid exploration of disillusion and intellectual transformation, a brilliant meditation on our continued assumptions about the past, and a glimpse of the different ways our world might be structured - especially as the problems addressed at the end of Enlightenment are still with us today.
Hotel Lux
Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards 2024: History Book of the Year
'Hotel Lux is an unforgettable book, bringing to life not only its protagonists but an entire world, and offering a new glimpse of a vanished past' Sally Rooney
'If affection is the first ground of memory, the archive is its late flowering and Hotel Lux its conservatory, Casey's history a tender nurture of pasts we overlook, but which whisper to us all the same' Irish Times
Hotel Lux follows Irish radical May O'Callaghan and her friends, three revolutionary families brought together by their vision for a communist future and their time spent in the Comintern's Moscow living quarters, the Hotel Lux.
Historian Maurice Casey reveals the connections and disconnections of a group of forgotten communist activists whose lives collided in 1920s Moscow: a brilliant Irish translator, a maverick author, the rebel daughters of an East London Jewish family, and a family of determined German anti-fascists.
The dramatic and interlocking histories of the O'Flahertys, Cohens and Leonhards offer an intimate insight into the legacies of the Russian Revolution from its earliest idealism through to the brutal Stalinist purges and beyond. Hotel Lux uncovers a world of forgotten radicals who saw their hopes and dreams crash against reality yet retained their faith in a beautiful future for all.
Culminating in a queer love story that saw the daughters of the Cohens and Leonhards create an enduring partnership even as their parents' political visions crumbled, this is a multi-generational rebel odyssey and a history of international communism, one which looks as much to the future as it does to the past.
Proč umíráme
Smrt čeká na všechny a na všechno. Jde o nevyhnutelný přírodní proces. Vědomí vlastního konce i konce všech našich blízkých patří k nejzásadnějším lidským zkušenostem — a k těm nejděsivějším. Hrůzu přitom nevzbuzuje jen sama smrt, ale právě její nevyhnutelnost a nezvratnost. Lidstvo proto od pradávna hledá způsoby, jak se s tímto vědomím vyrovnat a jak stárnutí i smrt obelstít. Zvláště v posledních letech zaznamenala biologie na poli studia dlouhověkosti ohromné pokroky a do popředí se dostává naléhavá otázka: Musíme umřít? Biolog a nositel Nobelovy ceny za chemii Venki Ramakrishnan vzal tuto otázku vážně a bere čtenáře na strhující cestu biologií stárnutí, nemocí i umírání. Zabývá se snahami o nesmrtelnost a jejich vědeckými i etickými limity. A odpovídá na jinou, možná důležitější otázku: Proč umíráme?

Milena and Margarete
<p><b>A profoundly moving celebration of love under the darkest of circumstances from the author of <i>The Nine</i></b><br><br><b>From the moment they met in 1940 in Ravensbrück concentration camp, Milena Jesenska and Margarete Buber-Neumann were inseparable.</b><br><br>Czech Milena was Kafka's first translator and epistolary lover, and a journalist opposed to fascism. A non-conformist, bi-sexual feminist, she was way ahead of her time. With the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, her home became a central meeting place for Jewish refugees.<br><br>German Margarete, born to a middle-class family, married the son of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. But soon swept up in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution, she met her second partner, the Communist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his "political deviations," he fell victim to Stalin's purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the Soviet gulag. Two years later, traded by Stalin to Hitler, she ended up outside Berlin in Ravensbrück, the only concentration camp built for women. <br><br>Milena and Margarete loved each other at the risk of their lives. But in the post-war survivors' accounts, lesbians were stigmatized, and survivors kept silent. This book explores those silences, and finally celebrates two strong women who never gave up and continue to inspire. As Margaret wrote: "I was thankful for having been sent to Ravensbrück, because it was there I met Milena."</p>
Land, Law and Empire
In this innovative exploration of British rule in India, John Marriott tackles one of the most significant and unanswered questions surrounding the East India Company's success. How and when was an English joint stock company with trading interests in the East Indies transformed into a fully-fledged colonial power with control over large swathes of the Indian subcontinent? The answer, Marriott argues, is to be found much earlier than traditionally acknowledged, in the territorial acquisitions of the seventeenth century secured by small coteries of English factors. Bringing together aspects of cultural, legal and economic theory, he demonstrates the role played by land in the assembly of sovereign power, and how English discourses of land and judicial authority confronted the traditions of indigenous peoples and rival colonial authorities. By 1700, the Company had established the sites of Madras, Bombay and Calcutta, providing the practical foothold for further expansion.
Medieval Riverscapes
Fishermen, monks, saints, and dragons met in medieval riverscapes; their interactions reveal a rich and complex world. Using religious narrative sources to evaluate the environmental mentalities of medieval communities, Ellen F. Arnold explores the cultural meanings applied to rivers over a broad span of time, ca. 300-1100 CE. Hagiographical material, poetry, charters, chronicles, and historiographical works are explored to examine the medieval environmental imaginations about rivers, and how storytelling and memory are connected to lived experiences in riverscapes. She argues that rivers provided unique opportunities for medieval communities to understand and respond to ecological and socio-cultural transformations, and to connect their ideas about the shared religious past to hopes about the future.
Forgotten Peoples of the Ancient World
An overview of the lost peoples and cultures who flourished and fought for survival alongside the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.
Who were the Philistines?
What was a Pyrrhic victory?
Were the Vandals really vandals?
Why should you speak to a Samaritan?
Beyond the Greeks, Romans and Hebrews of the Classical and biblical eras, a rich diversity of peoples helped lay the foundations of the modern world. Philip Matyszak brings to life the cultures and individuals that made up the busy, brawling multicultural mass of humanity that emerged from the ancient Middle East and spread across the Mediterranean and Europe. He explores the origins of forty forgotten peoples, their great triumphs and defeats, and considers the legacy they have left to us today, whether it be in fine art or everyday language.
This carefully researched and illuminating history is the perfect introduction for the modern reader, packed with surprising facts and fascinating stories, detailed maps and beautiful illustrations of artefacts and sites of interest. Forgotten Peoples of the Ancient World offers a new understanding of these important civilizations that have been obscured by the passage of time.
Exam Nation
School should equip children for adulthood. In reality, it means one thing: exams. Exam Nation sets out a better way - and, crucially, shows us how we might get there.
Educationalist and Head of School Sammy Wright argues that grades, rankings and Ofsted reports all miss the point of school, and together they are undermining our whole approach to education. Rather than sorting pupils into winners and losers, we need to think differently about what our schools are actually for - to see them as communities not factories - if we are to give all young people the opportunities and future they deserve.
The Birth of Democracy in South America
South America contains some of the oldest democracies in the world, yet we still know relatively little about how and why democracy arose in the region. Raúl L. Madrid argues that three main developments ? the professionalization of the military, the growth of parties, and splits within the ruling party ? led to democratization in the early twentieth century. Military professionalization increased the incentives for the opposition to abandon the armed struggle and focus on the electoral path to power. The growth of parties boosted the capacity of the opposition to enact and enforce democratic reforms that would level the electoral playing field. And ruling party splits created the opportunity for the opposition and ruling party dissidents to ally and push through reforms. This persuasive and original book offers important implications for the study of democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
V-Force
As World War II came to an end and America''s nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki shocked the world, it became clear that the nascent Cold War would be as different a conflagration from WWII as that war was from WWI. Believing that the UK was extremely vulnerable to nuclear attack, it was quickly determined that only ''the threat of large-scale damage from similar weapons'' could prevent a Soviet attack. And, thus, V-Force was born.Entered into service between 1955 and 1957, the three models of V class bombers that made up Britain''s strategic nuclear strike force - the Vickers Valiant, Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor - were modern marvels of machinery. Capable of both high- and low-level attack with their slick delta wing designs, and supremely quick despite the massive bomb loads they carried, these aircraft were central tenets of Britain''s nuclear weapons development.Despite a fall as precipitous as their rise when the Royal Navy took over Britain''s nuclear deterrent role in 1968, like a phoenix from the ashes, the V bombers enjoyed a second life as conventional bombers: the Valiant gaining fame in the Suez Crisis; the Victors in the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation, and the Vulcans undertook the longest bombing raid in history for Operation Black Buck in the Falklands Campaign of 1982.V-Force is both an ode to these most resilient, beautiful and underrated of British aircraft, and a lens through which to view Britain''s Cold War experience.
The Confessions of Samuel Pepys
'A brilliantly entertaining and revealing new transcription of Pepys's diary' Claire TomalinA collection of the most personal aspects of Samuel Pepys' diaries, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of their publicationThe Diary of Samuel Pepys is the most celebrated personal journal in the English language. His candid revelations as he forged his career as a civilian naval official in Restoration London have fascinated readers ever since the first selection was published in 1825. The Confessions of Samuel Pepys focuses on Pepys's controversial private life for a contemporary readership, by charting his varied and complex relationships with women. They included his wife Elizabeth whom he both loved and treated abominably, their domestic servants, the mistresses whom he secretly visited in Westminster and Deptford and other places, a host of other opportunistic encounters, the great ladies of the court whom he ogled, and the actresses and other female friends whose company he delighted in and combined with casual flirting and petting. All these he recounted in shorthand, often disguising the more salacious occasions in his own cryptic Franco-Latino polyglot or with a primitive system of extraneous consonants. Most of these controversial entries were excised from 19th century editions, but all are featured here in completely new transcriptions and Pepys's secret code translated, following fresh forensic examination, from the original shorthand diary. The Confessions of Samuel Pepys also reveals how all previous transcribers of the diary and many of his biographers have deliberately massaged Pepys's reputation.
