Gerodontológia


Percento starších ľudí v populácii neustále rastie a tým sa zvyšuje potreba lepšieho poznania špecifík poskytovania zdravotnej starostlivosti tejto skupine obyvateľstva vrátane ošetrovania chrupu a ústnej dutiny. Predmet gerodontológia bol zaradený do pregraduálnej výučby zubného lekárstva na Slovensku pred vyše 20 rokmi, no absentovala učebnica. Predložená publikácia vychádza z koncepcie paralelných slovenských a anglických textov, ktoré majú slúžiť nielen na odborné vzdelávanie v príslušnej problematike, ale súčasne aj umožňovať slovenským študentom zdokonaľovanie sa v anglickej terminológii a naopak, zahraničným študentom zlepšovanie sa v slovenskom jazyku. Stačí učebnicu otočiť! Obsah je rozdelený na dve časti, všeobecnú a špeciálnu tak, aby komplexne zachytával celý predmet. Okrem diagnostiky a liečby patológie ústneho zdravia zahŕňa tiež problematiku sprievodných celkových chorôb, preventívne opatrenia a zásady komunikácie s gerontologickými pacientami.

Poutníci v zemi na Nilu


Koptské křesťanství v Egyptě – starobylé, vytrvalé a stále živé – tvoří fascinující paralelní svět k dominantnímu islámu. Autorka, inspirována dlouhodobým pobytem v této zemi, přináší třináct reportážních zastavení, která čtenáře zvou na pouť egyptskou krajinou i duchovní pamětí. Všímá si každodenního života Koptů, jejich identity, víry, rituálů i fyzické přítomnosti křížů, klášterů a chrámů, které se jako nenápadné majáky rozsvěcují mezi mešitami a dunami pouště. V jejich stopách ožívá posvátný příběh – o putování, věrnosti i naději. Kniha je členěna do tří oddílů podle základních poloh koptské zbožnosti. První část, Poutníci v zemi na Nilu, sleduje trasu Svaté rodiny a představuje čtyři místa, kde se podle víry Koptů Ježíš, Maria a Josef zastavili. Druhý oddíl, Ve společenství andělů, přivádí čtenáře do kolébky mnišství. Pět reportáží z různorodých klášterů přibližuje životní styl, duchovní rytmus i kulturní význam míst, kde se setkává nebe se zemí. Třetí část, Staví se nový chrám, ukazuje současnou tvář koptské církve. Čtyři moderní chrámy v odlišných prostředích – od velkoměsta po skalní krajinu – dokládají, jak starodávná spiritualita nachází nové formy a prostory. Předkládaná monografie přináší do našeho prostředí svébytným a originálním způsobem velmi důležité téma koptského křesťanství, především pak posvátnou, poutní geografii dnešního Egypta. V češtině se tak objevuje téma, které zde dosud nebylo zpracováno, ba i ve světovém měřítku bychom nalezli jen několik prací s tímto zájmem… Jedná se o živou, čtivou monografii doplněnou o řadu map a fotografií. Výklad je velmi osobní a oplývá citáty z primárních biblických, historických či hagiografických textů. Lukáš de la Vega Nosek

Epistemic Ecology


An ecological epistemology arguing that epistemic agents, communities, and environments adapt to one another to generate evolving understandings of the world.Mainstream epistemology focuses on static states. In Epistemic Ecology, Catherine Elgin adopts a dynamic stance, viewing epistemic subjects as agents rather than onlookers. She examines how, individually and collectively, we construct our epistemic practices, policies, principles, and procedures to overcome our limitations, exploit our assets, and correct our mistakes. Taking an ecological approach, she shows how human organisms and their social and natural environments mutually adjust to accommodate each other. Elgin?s ecological model of understanding reveals that epistemic agents and communities are interdependent and are more deeply implicated in the individuation and characterization of the phenomena they access than standard spectatorial approaches to epistemology assume. Elgin maintains that a commitment?s epistemic acceptability turns in large part on its providing resources for further epistemic advancement. Epistemic progress is an iterative process that corrects, refines, and extends current understanding. Epistemic subjects are agents, not mere observers, and the positions they accept are springboards for improvement rather than windows into the world.  Responsible disagreement is an asset because it has the potential to identify and correct shortfalls in the views that are currently accepted.  Rather than treat epistemic success?knowledge, understanding, wisdom?as fixed and final, Elgin views success as a stable platform on which to build. How, she asks, should we leverage our findings to move beyond them? Her holistic conception of understanding is integral to education.

How Confucius Changed My Mind


A compelling exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought.In this exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought, you are invited on a path of transformation. The unexpected depths to be found in Confucianism surprised author Charles Jones when he began teaching East Asian religions to undergraduate students thirty years ago. It raised fascinating questions relevant to life today, like what does it mean to be human? To understand the Confucian answers to these questions, Jones familiarizes us with Confucius, his main successors, and the situations to which their writings responded.But this is not another textbook introduction to Chinese religion and thought. Jones is an engaging, inquisitive scholar and thought provocateur whose ideas address problems all of us face throughout our lives. By engaging with the Confucian ideas explored in this book, like rethinking ?human nature? and uncovering cultural presuppositions previously unnoticed, you might discover new horizons and possibilities for your life that previously you never could have imagined. And you will discover Confucius in an all-new light as a profound shaper of modern thought as much as Aristotle and Lao-tzu?whose revolutionary ideas have the power to change your mind for the better.

Post-pravdový svět - Trump, polarizace a cesta ven z chaosu


Svet je ponorený v zmätku. Tak ako populistické vlny čoraz intenzívnejšie narážajú na demokratické štruktúry – najviditeľnejšie v USA znovuzvolením Donalda Trumpa – nacionalistické a extrémistické politické sily ohrozujú pokrok dosiahnutý počas mnohých desaťročí úsilia. Ako sme sa sem dostali? A ako zaceliť trhliny v našej spoločnosti a hľadať víziu nového smerovania? Filozof Ken Wilber (1949-) vo svojej knihe Post-pravdový svět pripisuje zodpovednosť za túto situáciu predovšetkým progresívnym častiam spoločenského spektra, ktoré dnes pôsobia v pozícií vedúcej kultúrnej špičky. Tomuto prúdu vďačíme za množstvo dôležitých posunov, čo ale v spoločenskej dynamike pôsobí ako problém, je prizma „politicky korektného“ elitárstva, cez ktorú sa pozerá na všetky ostatné časti spoločnosti. Keď k tomu pridáme postpandemickú destabilizáciu vzťahov, rastúce technicko-ekonomické tlaky, a všeobecnú existenčnú neistotu a úzkosť, výsledkom je skutočne veľmi výbušná zmes. Napriek všetkému hnevu, frustrácii a rastúcej polarizácii však máme dôvod na nádej. Cesta vpred sa začína uzdravením progresívnej kultúrnej špičky a vytvorením priestoru pre novú integrálnu evolučnú silu, ktorých spoločné pôsobenie nás môže vyviesť z chaosu, k väčšej celistvosti.

The Caucasus Emirate


Insurgency has plagued the North Caucasus since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Between 2007 and 2015, rebels waged their struggle under the banner of the Caucasus Emirate (Imarat Kavkaz, IK). This book systematically examines the IK’s ideology to explain what the group claimed to be fighting for and against and how it sought to mobilise people behind its cause. It reveals a group with a weakly developed political programme, which aligned itself with global jihadism but consistently prioritised local concerns. It demonstrates the priority rebel leaders afforded to shaping local identities, but also their failure to forge a unified movement or revitalise armed struggle. Re-evaluating the IK’s ideology helps us better understand the past and future of armed struggle in the North Caucasus. -- .

The Year God Died


A groundbreaking account of how the Roman Empire shaped the life and death of Jesus, overturning centuries of historical beliefs around the world?from the New York Times bestselling author of The First Clash.?Skillfully guides readers on a journey through the complexity and tumult of the Roman occupation of first-century Judea and its inevitable collision with the Jesus Movement.??Dr. T. J. Wray, professor of religious and theological studies and author of Good Girls, Bad Girls of the New Testament: Their Enduring LessonsIn late 31 AD, after the Roman senators murdered Lucius Sejanus, the Roman Emperor Tiberius''s closest confidant, the Empire was forever changed. If Sejanus had not been murdered, Jesus would never have been crucified.This profound connection between the lives of Sejanus and Jesus is the first of many revelations in this startling reexamination of the Roman world in which Jesus walked. With new evidence and meticulous research, Dr. James Lacey weaves a majestic and accurate description of who Jesus was.The Year God Died contradicts longstanding historical beliefs to reveal the most comprehensive and accurate view of the New Testament. Lacey explains how the events in Rome drove events in Judea?which is directly linked to Jesus'' crucifixion. He uncovers a vibrant and rich world, but one still coming to grips with the reality of Roman power. He introduces ten-year-old Boadicea, who is destined to lead Britain?s tribes in a great revolt against Rome. He depicts Varus marching his legions past a four-year-old Jesus on his war to Jerusalem. And he describes how Herod prospered by appeasing some of the most dangerous people in history?Pompey, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, and Augustus.In this sweeping chronicle, Lacey dissects reams of misinformation to reveal, for the first time, Jesus, as he was born and lived within the grand spectacle of the Roman world.

A Philosophy of Shame


Can shame become a source of political strength? Faced with injustice, growing inequality and systemic violence, we cry out in shame. We feel ashamed of obscene wealth amid wider deprivation. We feel ashamed of humanity for its ruthless and relentless exploitation of the earth. We feel ashamed of the racism and sexism that permeate society and our everyday lives.<br><br>This difficult emotion is not just sadness or a withdrawal into oneself, nor is it a paralysing sense of inadequacy. As Frédéric Gros argues in <i>A Philosophy of Shame</i>, it arises when our perception of reality rejects passivity and resignation and instead embraces imagination. Shame thus becomes the expression of an anger that is a powerful, transformative force —one that assumes a radical character.<br><br>In dialogue with authors such as Primo Levi, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes and James Baldwin, Gros explores a concept that is still little understood in its anthropological, moral, psychological and political depths. Shame is a revolu­tionary sentiment because it lies at the foundation of any path of subjective recognition, transformation and struggle.

Deliberate Practice in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy


Deliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an opportunity to build competence in essential emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT) skills while developing their own personal therapeutic style.   These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a clinician, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The clinician improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels-beginner, intermediate, and advanced-that reflect common client questions and concerns.   Each of the first 2 exercises focuses on a single skill, such as offering evocative inquiries and reflections, deepening the client amp rsquo s emotional experience of self and other, and choreographing interactions that promote positive emotional engagement. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single session.   Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.

Time, Myth and Matter


What is time? How is consciousness related to the physical world? Why is the simulation hypothesis so popular? These are just some of the questions LD Deutsch tackles in her first collection of essays, Time, Myth and Matter.This book consists of five long essays, including revised and expanded versions of Deutsch’s highly esteemed zines published by Sacred Bones Books between 2018-2023, and an exclusive, previously unreleased essay, all of which explore the intersections between techno-scientific thinking and mythological narratives as they relate to life’s attempt at self-definition. Known for her ability to render complicated scientific and esoteric subjects accessible to wider audiences, Deutsch deftly traces the relationships between different theories and events in the history of science and technology, and various aspects of mythology, psychology, philosophy, (meta)physics and mysticism—resulting in a riveting inquiry into the nature of the self and the foundations of reality. By treating both science and mythology as serious subjects worthy of respect and rigor, Time, Myth and Matter opens up new avenues of thought and theory as to how the inner world of man and the outer world of Nature intersect and affect each other.The essays in this book cover:The history and cultural synchronicities between the discovery of the planet Pluto and the discovery of the element plutonium and development of the atomic bombDifferent scientific and philosophical theories about time and how these relate to mythological models of time and the psychological experience of synchronicityThe prevalence and popularity of the simulation hypothesis, and how it may be viewed as an actively operating mythological modelThe quantum history of matter and the metaphors we use to discuss how and from where matter emerges into the physical universeThe relationship between consciousness and the material world and how this relationship has been expressed in science, philosophy and mythologyTime, Myth and Matter covers the theories and ideas of world-renowned philosophers, scientists and psychologists such as Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Carlo Rovelli, Brian Greene, Nick Bostrom, Bernardo Kastrup, Ruth Kastner, Jacques Vallée, Jeffrey Kripal, Hans-Peter Dürr, Albert Einstein, and more.

Art & Court of James VI & I


James VI & I, the only child of Mary, Queen of Scots, has often been overshadowed by the dramatic lives of his mother and son, Charles I. This book seeks to redress the balance by centering the first monarch to reign over both Scotland and England and uncovering the artistic treasures created during his extraordinary reign. The cultural riches of James’s court are showcased, revealing his diverse roles as ruler, scholar, politician, father and patron of the arts. His court’s passion for jewellery and fine clothes is illustrated in the vivid portraits and miniatures by John de Critz and Nicholas Hilliard – just two of many artists and craftspeople who thrived in its artistic and intellectual climate. Five richly illustrated chapters demonstrate James’s impact on early modern Britain, while reconsidering the reputation of a king traditionally presented as preferring hunting and drinking to the duties of daily governance. Packed with exquisite art works and sumptuous objects, this book brings James’s court vividly to life.

Autocracy, Inc


The celebrated historian and journalist uncovers the networks trying to destroy the democratic world All of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic state looks like, with a bad man at the top. But in the 21st century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources-the troll farms that promote one dictator's propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another-and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America. Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, this group doesn't operate like a bloc, but rather like an agglomeration of companies: Autocracy, Inc. Their relations are not based on values, but are rather transactional, which is why they operate so easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: Their dislike of us, the inhabitants of the democratic world, and their desire to see both our political systems and our values undermine. That shared understanding of the world-where it comes from, why it lasts, how it works, how the democratic world has unwittingly helped to consolidate it, and how we can help bring it down-is the subject of this book.

How To Know a Person


A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person in order to foster deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives-from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them. If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood." And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us to do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us. If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person's story should you pay attention to? Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, and from the worlds of theatre, history, and education, to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate towards others; it helps readers find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception. The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is a profoundly creative act: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection, seeking to understand and yearning to be understood.

The Great Wave


In the twenty-first century, a wave of political, cultural and technological change has capsized our old certainties and assumptions, creating both opportunity and danger. As people lose their faith in old institutions and elites, radical voices at the margins and the grassroots are disrupting the status quo. This is the time of the outsider – the protester, the populist, the hacker. Some of these outsiders have sown chaos, like Donald Trump, and others have provided inspirational leadership, like Volodymyr Zelensky. But all have grasped this precarious moment to make something new. Writing with a critic’s incisive understanding of cultural trends, Michiko Kakutani outlines the consequences of these new asymmetries of power, and looks back to similar hinge moments in history, from the waning of the Middle Ages to the aftermath of the Second World War, to find a way forward. For there is, Kakutani argues, always the promise of transformation in times of turmoil. We can surrender to the waters, give in to the gathering chaos, or we can use the wave’s momentum to propel us into a more stable and sustainable future.
