Germany, 1918: a country in flux. The First World War is over, the nation defeated. Revolution is afoot, the monarchy has fallen and the victory of democracy beckons. Everything must change with the times. Out of the ashes of the First World War, Germany launches an unprecedented political project: its first democratic government. The Weimar Republic is established. The years that follow see political extremism, economic upheaval, revolutionary violence and the transformation of Germany. Tradition is shaken to its core as a triumphant procession of liberated lifestyles emerges. Women conquer the racetracks and tennis courts, go out alone in the evenings, cut their hair short and cast the idea of marriage aside. Unisex style comes into fashion, androgynous and experimental. People revel in the discovery of leisure, filling up boxing halls, dance palaces and the hotspots of the New Age, embracing the department stores' promise of happiness and accepting the streets as a place of fierce political battles. In this short burst of life between the wars, amidst a frenzy of change, comes a backlash from those who do not see themselves reflected in the new Republic. Little by little, deep divisions begin to emerge. Divisions that would bring devastating consequences, altering the course of the twentieth century and the lives of millions around the world. Vertigo is a vital, kaleidoscopic portrait of a pivotal moment in German history.

The Animal and the Thinker


Why are we so often in conflict—arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are and what we need from our lives?In The Animal and The Thinker, the world-leading, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan explains that each of us is not just one person – we are two. On one side are our animal instincts, built on the sophisticated needs of human life through evolution, but struggling to navigate the complexity of modern life. On the other side is our rational brain which calculates and cogitates, but is often helpless in the face of bigger questions of meaning and purpose.Dovetailing these two competing sides of ourselves, Duncan draws on a lifetime’s pioneering work to attack puzzles that have concerned thinkers, writers and philosophers through human history. Right and wrong. Freedom and responsibility. Women and men. Democracy and justice. Ambition and fulfilment. Understanding how these two sides of ourselves interact offers revealing and often surprising answers to some of the great questions of our lives.Discover a new perspective on human behaviour, and learn how we can better understand ourselves, our struggles, and our search for meaning.

Patria


In this sweeping exploration of the continent's forgotten past, Laurence Blair takes as his waymarks nine countries that can't be found on a map: vanished realms, half-imagined utopias and dismembered homelands. Looking beyond modern borders, he travels to each in turn - on foot and horseback, by rail and river - to weave an epic of survival, resistance and revolution. Blair's journey spans five centuries and thousands of miles, ranging from ancient Amazonian civilisations and a rebel Inca dynasty in the Peruvian jungle - via a Brazilian Wakanda that defied slavery, Bolivia's landlocked navy and the Patagonian power that defeated the Spanish Empire - to the African freedom fighters who marched over the Andes from Argentina, and the Napoleon of the New World who led Paraguay to its ruin. This is the story of South America as is rarely told: at the epicentre of global history and the forging of the modern world.

Inherited Fate


The international bestseller.Our families shape who we are. From the circumstances of our conception and the family structure we are born into, to the expectations placed upon us and the love we receive, we are formed by our social and familial network. So if we want to truly know ourselves – to find out why we falter, to explain our anxieties, our repeated relationship patterns – we must look beyond our own lives and discover the secrets, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met.In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body.We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future.Inherited Fate explores:the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth – such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order;the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma – both individual and collective;the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood;how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried.

Zákon cti - Jak dochází k morálním revolucím


V tomto průkopnickém díle Kwame Anthony Appiah, mnohými považovaný za „jednoho z nejdůležitějších filozofů dnešní doby“ (New York Times Book Review), mění způsob, jakým chápeme lidské chování i to, jak dochází k sociálním reformám. Pomocí oslnivé argumentace ukazuje, že nová demokratická hnutí v posledním století nebyla vedena zákonnými opatřeními shora. Zabývá se ukončením instituce souboje v aristokratické Anglii, bouřlivými boji o ukončení svazování chodidel v Číně 19. století, povstáním obyčejných lidí proti hrůzám transatlantického otroctví a vraždami ze cti v současném Pákistánu. Vytvořil „fascinující studii morální revoluce“ (Philadelphia Inquirer), která poukazuje na rozhodující roli, kterou v boji proti nelidskosti člověka vůči člověku hraje čest.

Merkel's Law


In the vein of Notorious RBG, a fun and inspiring biography filled with lessons from the most powerful woman in the world, based on more than a decade’s worth of coverage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel from New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy.Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the “Merkel Diamond”) and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. The first woman chancellor of Germany and one of the longest-serving European leaders ever, Merkel’s quiet resolve, calculated confidence, and extreme privacy around her personal life have made her a feminist role model for the ages. Merkel’s Law is a revelatory look at an unlikely vanguard, and at the country she led for sixteen years. No one is better positioned than New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany’s rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD. Drawing upon an unparalleled well of sources close to Merkel, Merkel’s Law traces her childhood in East Germany as the daughter of a clergyman, her meteoric rise to power, and her more recent public acclaim—as well as the numerous setbacks she faced along the way both from political rivals and from men in her own party who scoffed at her ambition. Painting a portrait of a political genius, savvy businesswoman, and model for modern power, Merkel’s Law is not only the story of her life, but the lessons we can learn from it.

The New Total War


Fromthe revolutionary use of drones to staged coups, child abduction and psychologicalwarfare, the war in Ukraine is like no other. It is a new form of total war, combiningtraditional military force with all the non-military tools of the Russian state. The 2022 invasion was just the next stage of a conflict that Russia has beenfighting since 2005, using all the tactics at its disposal to control Ukraine'spolitics and wreak havoc. Combiningover a decade of research, astute analysis and powerful stories from the frontline, and including striking photographs of the people and scenes heencountered along the way, Bob Seely has written the authoritative guide tothis new form of conflict.

Undiplomatic


Without credentials or connections, community college student and advocate Deesha Dyer navigated her imposter syndrome, landing one of the most exclusive positions in the White House. Michelle Obama calls Undiplomatic "smart, funny, and endlessly inspirational."From the most unlikely person to end up as a senior official to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama comes a candid, incredible, and inspiring story. Moved by the election of the country''s first Black president, Deesha Dyer applied for a White House internship in 2009 as a thirty-one-year-old part-time community college student, taking a leap that carried her into a permanent full-time position, followed by three promotions landing her at the epicenter of politics.In spite of the little voice in her head telling her she didn''t deserve to be there, Deesha thrived and rose to the highly coveted role of White House social secretary, giving her a front-row seat to defining moments in history while curating some of the flyest parties 1600 Pennsylvania has ever seen. Yet, with humor and realness, she peels back the curtain, revealing the hard truth about why she spent years trying to hide behind it. Undiplomatic is a deeply personal narrative about combating self-doubt while being on top of the world. Deesha reflects on how imposter syndrome threatened her self-esteem, proven aptitude, and survival until she realized that it was neither her fault nor her responsibility. In this vivid portrayal from a true "around the way girl" on the personal impact of the Obama presidency, Deesha shares her road map from imposter to impact. In Undiplomatic, she invites you on a journey of self-discovery where she overcame doubt, unearthed true love for herself, and learned that your unique worth is not something to be earned, but something inherently deserved. Uplifting, funny, and sincere, Deesha''s story shows you about authenticity at all costs, and the joy and freedom that awaits on the other side.

Temný věk


Přeneste se do prvních století našeho letopočtu: Oceňovaná, kontroverzní a zároveň fascinující kniha Catherine Nixey vás vtáhne do epochy, která je pro mnohé stále zahalena tajemstvím a je vnímána jako temný věk. Do epochy, v níž nastupující křesťanská civilizace nemilosrdně likvidovala antickou kulturu a památky starověku. Zbyly jen trosky? Temný věk ukazuje zrození západní civilizace ve zcela nových souvislostech. Autorka, historička a zkušená novinářka, odkrývá příběh ničení chrámů, pálení knih a umlčování hlasů, které nesouzněly s novým učením. Ve svém strhujícím vyprávění přirozeně spojuje odbornost s čtivým stylem a přibližuje tak nejen fakta, ale i plastický obraz světa, který se téměř podařilo vymazat z historické paměti lidstva. Kniha roku podle Daily Telegraph, Spectator, Observer a BBC History Magazine „Zajímalo vás, proč antickým sochám mnohdy chybějí hlavy, paže, nosy nebo genitálie? Teď už znáte odpověď. Temný věk přináší dokonalý popis zkázy a zoufalství. Nixey kombinuje autoritu seriózního akademika s expresivním stylem dobrého novináře.“ – Gerard DeGroot, The Times „Silná, provokativní a znepokojivá.“ – Peter Frankopan, autor knihy Hedvábné stezky: Nová historie světa „Strhující a návyková kniha zpochybňuje celé naše chápání nejranějších let křesťanství a středověké společnosti, která následovala.“ – Dan Jones, autor knihy Rytíři Templu

Čeští prezidenti a válka - Od Havla k Pavlovi, od Kosova k Ukrajině


Války v Kosovu, Iráku, Gruzii a na Ukrajině, jak je vnímali a jak k nim přistupovali čeští polistopadoví prezidenti. Český prezident není jen ceremoniální „kladeč věnců“, jak se někdy mírně ironicky říká, ale může být mocenským aktérem s velkým dopadem na chod státu. Může fungovat jako garant stability stejně jako politický hráč, který testuje ústavní mantinely, zpochybňuje dosavadní zvyklosti a snaží se měnit pravidla hry. Každý z našich prezidentů – Václav Havel, Václav Klaus, Miloš Zeman i Petr Pavel – do této funkce vnesl svůj styl a vizi. Tato kniha přibližuje, jak významný vliv měly tento styl a vize v zahraniční politice, a to zejména v krizových okamžicích, jakými jsou války. Právě války v Kosovu, Iráku, Gruzii či na Ukrajině skvěle ukazují prezidentské postoje, ambice, strategické kalkulace a činy. Chování hlav českého státu v aréně zahraniční politiky často provázely také spory s vládními politiky především s premiéry a ministry zahraničí. I tento konfliktní rozměr české politiky kniha poutavě přibližuje.
