Ambrosiánský ritus
Liturgické tradice jednotlivých středisek církevního života se od počátku křesťanství navzájem ovlivňovaly a postupně docházelo k jejich sbližování. V raném středověku převládl na Západě římský ritus a z původních liturgických tradic přetrvaly do 21. století pouze dvě: vedle hispánské liturgie také tradice milánská neboli ambrosiánská, kterou představuje tato kniha. Ambrosiánská bohoslužba se po celé dějiny rozvíjela v nedalekém sousedství Říma, některé prvky z římské tradice přebírala, jinými prvky naopak římskou liturgii obohatila. Čtenář v této knížce zjistí, jakým způsobem slaví Kristova tajemství ambrosiánští věřící v severní Itálii a jižním Švýcarsku, co mají tradice Západu společné a co je pro každou z nich specifické.
„Životnost ambrosiánského ritu byla v minulosti velmi prospěšná a bude i v budoucnu nejen pro milánskou diecézi, ale i pro všeobecnou církev.“ (Pavel VI.)
Norberto Valli (* 1968) je italský kněz a liturgista. Vyučuje liturgiku na Papežském liturgickém institutu sv. Anselma v Římě a v Arcibiskupském semináři v Miláně. Je členem Kongregace pro ambrosiánský ritus.

Left Behind
The world-renowned economist offers a ground-breaking new vision for inclusive prosperity
Left behind places can be found in prosperous countries?from South Yorkshire, integral to the industrial revolution and now England’s poorest county, to Barranquilla, once Colombia’s portal to the Caribbean and now struggling. More alarmingly, the poorest countries in the world are diverging further from the rest of humanity than they were at the start of this century. Why have these places fallen behind? And what can we do about it?
World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected communities. In this book he offers his candid diagnosis of why some regions and countries are failing, and a new vision for how they can catch up. Collier lays the blame for widening inequality on stale economic orthodoxies that prioritize market forces to revive left behind regions, and on the arrogant, hands-off and one-size fits all approach of centralized bureaucracies like the UK Treasury. As a result, Collier argues, the UK has become the most unequal and unfair society in the western world.
Yet the core message of Left Behind is hopeful: bringing together encouraging case studies of recovery from around the world, Collier shows how renewal is achievable through a combination of collective learning, moral leadership and local agency. With keen insight, he draws lessons from such seemingly disparate fields as behavioural psychology, evolutionary biology and moral philosophy to share a bold, galvanizing vision for a more inclusive, prosperous world.
Filozofia ako metafyzika
Günter Figal ukazuje, že filozofia začína hľadaním pravdy, že v tomto hľadaní sa nutne rozvíja otázka bytia súcna a že toto hľadanie sa nakoniec etabluje ako „metafyzika“. Figal obhajuje metafyziku a zároveň ju fenomenologicky reformuluje. Argumentuje v prospech jej chápania ako jednej z viacerých filozofických perspektív.
Günter Figal (1949 – 2024), brilantný filozof, fenomenológ, znalec filozofickej tradície, profesor na univerzitách v Tübingene a vo Freiburgu, hosťujúci profesor na univerzitách v Aarhuse, Nishinomiya, Berlíne, Ríme, Bostone či v Leuvene. Dlhoročný predseda Martin Heidegger Gesellschaft. Editor série Heidegger Forum vo vydavateľstve Vittorio Klostermann, vydavateľ sérií Philosophische Untersuchungen a Internationale Jahrbuch für Hermeneutik vo vydavateľstve Mohr Siebeck. Svoje dielo zavŕšil prácou Vieldeutigkeit. Zur ästhetischen Umstellung der Philosophie (Viacznačnosť. K estetickému obratu vo filozofii, 2023), v ktorej háji filozofiu ako pôvodnú skúsenosť viacvýznamovosti a umenie, v ktorom je táto skúsenosť najitenzívnejšou, ako jej paradigmu. Vydavateľstvo Minor publikovalo v slovenskom preklade taktiež Figalovu prenikavú systematickú estetiku Zjavnosť vecí. Fenomenológia ako estetika (2023), ktorej hlavné pojmy sú odvodené zo skúsenosti a opisu umeleckých diel. Pojednáva o mimoriadnom príspevku umenia k poznaniu, pričom rozvíja koncepciu krásy, ktorá sa vzťahuje aj na moderné umenie. O umení uvažuje ako o celku – od starogréckej poézie až po japonskú čajovú misku.
Optimal
'Actionable tools and insights that are essential to unlocking your potential' Oscar Munoz, former CEO of United Airlines
In his groundbreaking bestseller Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman revolutionized how we think about intelligence. Now, he reveals practical methods for using these inner resources to more readily enter an optimal state of high performance and satisfaction.
There are moments when we achieve peak performance: an athlete plays a perfect game; a business has a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But for every amazing day, we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying ones. Fulfilment doesn't come from isolated peak experiences, or elusive 'flow' states, but rather from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, while avoiding burnout and maintaining balance?
In Optimal, Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a productive day, any day - to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on decades of research on how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they sketch what an optimal state feels like, and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance.
Optimal will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance
Inside the Stargazers Palace
Enter the mysterious world of sixteenth-century science, where astronomers and alchemists shared laboratories...
In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth revolved around the Sun, overturning centuries of scholastic presumption. A new age was coming into view - one guided by observation, technology and logic.
But omens and elixirs did not disappear from the sixteenth-century laboratory. Charms and potions could still be found nestled between glistening brass instruments and leather-bound tomes. The line between the natural and supernatural remained porous, yet to be defined.
From the icy Danish observatory of Tycho Brahe, to the smoky, sulphur-stained workshop of John Dee, Violet Moller tours the intellectual heart of early European science. Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, Inside the Stargazer's Palace reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all knowledge, no matter how arcane, could be pursued in good faith.
Downfall
In the early years of Vladmir Putin's Russia, Yevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the President's most trusted assets. By 2023, he had become a dangerous warlord - and also one of Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous political climate, exiled after leading an attempted coup, and shortly after killed in a mysterious plane crash.
But what is the truth about this enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism that Prigozhin's life forged?
In a compelling tale that unravels a complex web of power, betrayal and recrimination, Downfall delves into the profound impact of Prigozhin on the heart and soul of a nation at a crossroads. Drawing on years of research, this book traces the rise of Russia's most prominent non-state actor and examines the political climate that propelled a convicted gangster with no government office to the formidable role he came to occupy. An essential story of Russia's recent history, Downfall is also a compelling insight into its likely future.
Italy Reborn
A major new account of the emergence of Italian democracy after the Second World War.
The rebirth of Italy after the Second World War is one of the most impressive political transformations in modern European history. In 1945, post-fascist Italy was devastated by war and its reputation in the international arena was nil. Yet by December 1955, when Italy was admitted to the United Nations, the nation had contested three acrimonious but free general elections, had a flourishing press, and was a leader in the re-building of Europe. The contrast with Fascism was stark.
This book charts the descent of Italy into Fascism, the scale of the wartime disaster, the Italian resistance to Nazi occupation, and the establishment of the Republic in 1946. The Cold War divided, in 1947, the coalition of parties that had led the resistance to Fascism and Nazism.
The book’s final chapters deal with the consolidation of Italian democracy and with the statesmanship of Alcide De Gasperi, the premier from December 1945 to August 1953. The book argues, first, that De Gasperi deserves more credit than he has typically been accorded for Italy’s post-war democratization and, second, that Italian democracy was constructed on a sound foundation – which is why it has been able to survive its many post-war crises.
Largely based on contemporary Italian sources, the book is written in an engaging, lively way for both the general reader and specialists in Italian history.
Challenger
The definitive, dramatic, minute-by-minute story of the Challenger space shuttle disaster based on fascinating in-depth reporting and new archival research - this is riveting history that reads like a thriller.
On the freezing-cold morning of 28 January 1986, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions around the world witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Yet the full story of what happened that day - and the ominous warning signs recognized but then ignored in the years before - has never been told.
Following a handful of central protagonists - from the astronauts and their families to the rocket engineers who tried to stop the fateful launch - Challenger is a gripping tale of human over-reach; of cynicism and cost-cutting; of hubristic 'go fever'; and of an investigation driven by heroic leakers and whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light. Blending human drama with fascinating science and political infighting, Challenger is a masterpiece of non-fiction storytelling. The result is a story even more extraordinary and terrifying than any of us remembered - or thought possible.
Trick Of The Mind
How does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems.
The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in.
In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, A Trick of The Mind will revolutionise the way you think.
The Crypto Trader
The real-life trades and strategies of a successful cryptocurrency trader.
Glen Goodman’s goal was to retire young and wealthy, escaping the daily grind. He taught himself how to trade everything from shares to Bitcoin and made enough money to realise his dream and quit his day job while still in his 30s. In The Crypto Trader, Glen will show you exactly how he made huge profits trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and more, so that you can do it too – without risking your shirt.
Glen publicly called the top of the market in December 2017 and took his profits before the crash. But there are still tons of trading opportunities out there and Glen continues to trade crypto successfully.
Inside you’ll see his multi-hundred-percent gains on a raft of cryptocurrencies and learn how he builds his profits and holds onto them. Glen reveals all his trading strategies, the proven methods and rules that make him one of the most followed traders in the world on social media. (He is also frequently interviewed by the BBC, Forbes and LBC, and is a contributing expert on cryptocurrency at the London School of Economics.)
It took Glen years of study and trial and error to become a consistent money maker. He learnt his trading lessons the hard way – so you don’t have to. With The Crypto Trader by your side, you’ll learn how to grab opportunities, make money – and keep it.
Going Nuclear
What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN
'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER
'Powerful' BRYAN APPLEYARD, Spectator
'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE
In this visionary book, Dr Tim Gregory urges us to rethink the path to net zero. He argues that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables such as wind and solar are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding nuclear waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy.
Going Nuclear calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme. By interweaving scientific optimism, myth-busting data, and ambitious policy ideas, Gregory illustrates the untapped and boundless potential of the atom beyond just clean energy: from advanced medicine and forensics to atomic gardening and space exploration.
This is a bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future: a world in which abundant energy is available to all.
Destroyer of Worlds
From the award-winning science writer, a new history of the development of nuclear power and the extraordinary minds behind it
Henry Becquerel's accidental discovery, in Paris in 1896, of a faint smudge on a photographic plate sparked a chain of discoveries which would unleash the atomic age.
Destroyer of Worlds is the story of how pursuit of this hidden source of nuclear power, which began innocently and collaboratively, was overwhelmed by the politics of the 1930s, and following devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki opened the way to a still more terrible possibility: a thermonuclear bomb, the so-called "backyard weapon", that could destroy all life on earth - from anywhere.
The story spans decades and continents, moving from Becquerel to Ernest Rutherford, the Cambridge-based, New Zealand scientist who first split the atom, expands to include Enrico Fermi in Rome, Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner in Berlin and the Joliot-Curies in Paris, leading to the appearance of Robert Oppenheimer before climaxing with increasingly horrifying developments in the USA and USSR. The roles of three remarkable women - Lise Meitner, Ida Noddack and Irene Curie - are re-evaluated, and there are new insights into the work of Ettore Majorana, Fermi's mercurial but brilliant assistant, who mysteriously disappeared in 1938, possibly after foreseeing the explosive power of nuclear energy. Above all, this is a story of how knowledge is often advanced by personal convictions and relationships, an indeed by chance, in a remarkable way.
Becoming Earth
A radically thought-provoking account of a major shift in how we understand our Earth, not simply as an inanimate planet on which life evolved, but rather as a planet that came to life.
The notion of a living world is one of humanity's oldest beliefs. Though once scorned by many scientists, the concept of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. Life not only adapts to its surroundings - it also shapes them in dramatic and enduring ways.
Over billions of years, life transformed a lump of orbiting rock into our cosmic oasis, breathing oxygen into the atmosphere, concocting the modern oceans, and turning rock into fertile soil. Life is intertwined with Earth's capacity to regulate its climate and maintain balance.
Through compelling narrative, evocative descriptions and lucid explanations, Becoming Earth shows us how Earth became the world we've known, how it is rapidly becoming a very different world, and how we will determine what kind of Earth our descendants inherit for millennia to come.
The Roads To Rome
Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed historian of Europe
'All roads lead to Rome.' It's a medieval proverb, but it's also true: today's European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to inspire our imaginations.
Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel, and routes for conquest and creativity, Catherine Fletcher shows how the roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.
Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles Dickens observed that here is 'a history in every stone that strews the ground.' Based on outstanding original research, and brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever built.

The View from Ninety
Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management - including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management - have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends - such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve - has changed the way we view society.In his new book, Handy, looking back over a rich and varied life, shares the lessons he has learned along the way.What things really matter?
What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us? How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? Clear-eyed and optimistic by turns, he sets out the questions that everyone needs to ask themselves in the course of their lives, and points us in the direction of the answers.
What Went Wrong With Capitalism
A radical examination by a leading financial analyst, commentator and investor of the ills of capitalism and how they can be fixed.
What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma’s explanation is unlike any you have heard before. Progressives are partly right when they mock modern capitalism as “socialism for the rich,” but what really happened in recent decades is that government in developed nations expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending and regulation to the sheer scale of its rescues each time the economy wobbled. The result, Sharma says, is “socialized risk,” expensive government guarantees, for everyone?welfare for the poor, entitlements for the middle class, and bailouts for the rich.
Voters say they are disillusioned with capitalism, but a system so distorted by government interventions is a dysfunctional version of free market ideals. As a result, productivity and economic growth have slowed sharply, shrinking the pie for everyone and stoking popular anger. Since these flaws developed as the government expanded, building an even bigger state will only double down on what’s gone wrong. The answer Sharma offers is a series of seven fixes to restore the balance between state support and free markets and lay the path to a more prosperous and happier future.
Smart Money
A timely manifesto on how digital currencies will win the New Cold War and the struggle for geopolitical supremacy in the twenty-first century.
A New Cold War is underway. Whereas the first Cold War was dominated by the threat of nuclear conflict, the new front line is economic and financial, but still dominated by technology. Who controls its future will help decide the outcome of the geopolitical struggle between China and the US.
Since the end of the Second World War, the US dollar has been the global reserve currency, which has ensured American dominance of the world economy. But no longer. More than a hundred countries are developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), digital equivalents to cash that will utterly transform how we do business at home and abroad.
China was the first country to recognise the potential of this new money. The West's media focused on the new currency's role in China's surveillance state, creating widespread concern about all CBDCs. But they have largely overlooked a more important aspect of its existence: as a tool through which to 'de-dollarise' the developing world at the speed of light. When China's President Xi Jinping officially launched the digital yuan in February 2022, he also agreed a pact of 'limitless co-operation' with Russia. Within days, Russia launched its war on Ukraine, secure in the knowledge it could bypass US sanctions.
Urgent, clear-eyed and groundbreaking, Smart Money shows us how CBDCs are going to impact all of our futures in ways that most of us have failed to even consider. If the West is to compete, it needs to act fast to develop its own global digital currencies that reflect the values of liberal democracies.
