Making Places Sacred


Although claims to sacredness are often linked to the power of a distant past, the work of making places sacred is creative, novel, renewable, and reversible. This Element highlights how sacred space is newly made. It is often associated with blood, death, and geographic anomalies, yet no single feature determines sacred associations. People make space sacred by connecting with ]''extrahuman'' figures ? the ancestors, spirits, and gods that people attempt to interact with in every society. These connections can be concentrated in people''s bodies, yet bodies are particularly vulnerable to loss. The Element also examines the multidimensional and multisensory dimensions of sacred space, which can be made almost anywhere, including online, but can also be unmade. Unmaking sacred space can entail new sacralization. New and minority religions in particular provide excellent sites for studying sacredness as a value, raising the reliably productive question: sacred for whom?

Életkorok pszichológiája


A gyermek pszichológiai fejlődése című könyvem 5., bővített és átdolgozott kiadását tartja kezében az olvasó. A hasonló tárgyú könyvek folyamatos frissítésre és átdolgozásra szorulnak, mivel új tudományos eredmények születnek, és - talán soha nem látott gyorsasággal - változnak a körülmények is. Szakemberként és szülőként, nagyszülőként fontosnak éreztem, hogy közreadjam az utolsó kiadás óta elmúlt évtizedben összegyűlt tudásomat és tapasztalataimat. A könyv a magzati kortól a serdülőkorig mutatja be a pszichológiai fejlődés folyamatát, fontosabb állomásait, számba véve a fejlődés környezetét, a külső feltételek alakulásának hatásait. Szó esik a mindent átszövő média befolyásáról, a multikulturalitásról, a növekvő társadalmi egyenlőtlenségek következményeiről. A korábbi kiadásokhoz képest bővült a felnőtt korral foglalkozó fejezet, és hosszabb függelék tárgyalja a nehézségekkel, traumákkal való megküzdés, a normális és a patológiás fejlődés megkülönböztetésének kérdéseit. Választ kerestem elméletinek tűnő, de valójában mindenkit foglalkoztató problémákra is: Meddig tart a gyermekkor, melyek a felnőttség kritériumai? Milyen mértékben tekinthetők univerzálisnak a fejlődés gyermek-, illetve felnőttkori szakaszai? Reményeim szerint könyvem jól felhasználható a pszichológus- és tanárképzésben, de nem szigorúan vett szakszöveg: számot tarthat a gyerekkor és a nevelés iránt érdeklődő laikus közönség figyelmére is.

The God Desire


From the bestselling author of Jews Don’t Count ‘ A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ’ ALAIN DE BOTTON‘ Magnificent. Breathtaking. And shockingly rare … another one-sitting wonder’ STEPHEN FRY David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn’t. Or at least, that is Baddiel’s view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone else’s, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable – and more understanding of the value and power of religion – than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises Baddiel’s trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates.

Nicomachean Ethics


Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is a book of enduring relevance that aims to answer the question of how human beings should live. Much, however, has changed since the time of ancient Greece, and the meanings of words aren’t static. The goal of Christopher Byrne’s new translation is thus to make Aristotle accessible to modern readers who may share in the common humanity of Aristotle’s world but don’t share his vocabulary or his culture. This goal is also served through a brisk introduction, chronologies of Aristotle’s life and of his philosophical impacts, and extensive clarifying footnotes. Also included in this edition are appendices outlining the book’s main argument and the many virtues under discussion, as well as illuminating passages from Plato, Thomas Aquinas, and Aristotle’s other writings.

Vikings in the East


In Western Europe, we typicallyassociate Vikings with the storm-tossed waters of the North Sea and the NorthAtlantic, the deep Scandinavian fjords and the attacks on the monasteries andsettlements of north-western Europe. This popular image rarely includes theriver systems of Russia and Ukraine, the wide sweep of the Eurasian steppe, thefar shores of the Caspian Sea, the incense and rituals of the Eastern OrthodoxChurch and the high walls and towers of the city of Constantinople. Yet formany Viking raiders, traders and settlers, it was the road to the East thatbeckoned. These Viking adventurers foundedthe Norse-Slavic dynasties of the Rus, which are entangled in the bitterlycontested origin myths of Russia and Ukraine. The Rus were the first communityin the region to convert to Christianity - in its Eastern Orthodox form - andso they are at the heart of the concept of 'Holy Russia'. Russian rulers havefrequently referenced these Norse origins when trying to enhance their powerand secure control over the Ukrainian lands, most recently demonstrated byVladimir Putin as his justification for seizing Crimea and invading Ukraine. In this fascinating and timelybook, historian Martyn Whittock explores the important but often misunderstoodand manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, thedeadly consequences of which we are still living with today.

Sunday Best


An evocative celebration of the seventh day in all its rich varietyClosed shops and roast dinners. Bulky newspapers and the hum of lawnmowers. Strolls to nowhere in particular and visiting snoozing grandparents. Television theme tunes cueing bath time and a sudden dread of the looming week ahead…Through an assortment of rituals and activities, Sundays came to be the unique day in our week – whether tedious, pleasant or somewhere in-between. But how did they change over time? Has anything interesting ever happened on a Sunday? Have we forgotten how to do Sunday? And, in our rushed modern lives, should we now try to recapture that distinctive, unhurried Sunday fee? ffering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, Sunday Best entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People’s Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, The Peak District and beyond – Gray’s latest book is a charming journey in time and place. Sunday Best offers nostalgia, people’s history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells.

Kant on Marriage


This Element proposes a new understanding of Kant''s account of marriage by examining the context and background conversations that shaped its development and by discussing the conception of equality at its core. Marriage as Kant understands it relies on a certain form of equality between spouses. Yet this conception of equality does not precede marriage, and carries important limitations ? one of which being its inaccessibility to a significant proportion of the German population at the time. The protections and rights conferred by marriage were thus not accessible to all. Their shared preoccupation with this issue allows the author to put Kant''s thoughts in relation with those of eighteenth-century feminist writers Theodor von Hippel and Marianne Ehrmann. Despite these limitations, the author finds Kant''s conception of marriage is compatible with the achievement of certain egalitarian goals, suggesting that it may be able to improve women''s lives in a liberal state.

Pamäť národa


Pôsobenie Matice slovenskej v histórii a kultúre Slovenska pripomína množstvo doposiaľ vydaných publikácií a tlačovín. Medzi nimi sú aj viaceré obsažné textovo-obrazové monografie. Toto je ďalšia, najobsažnejšia, o ktorej vydaní rozhodli pri príležitosti 160. výročia vzniku Matice slovenskej jej predstavitelia. Rozdiel oproti predchádzajúcim knihám spočíva najmä v tom, že k autorskej spolupráci boli okrem súčasných renomovaných historikov a vedcov prizvaní aj pracovníci široko rozvetvenej matičnej obce. Spolu viac ako päťdesiat autorov sa podieľalo na tvorbe tejto veľkoryso koncipovanej publikácie, aby spoločne ukázali mimoriadne rozpätie matičného pôsobenia na celom území Slovenska aj v zahraničí. Obraz, ktorý spoločne vytvorili, dáva súčasne odpoveď aj na jednu z otázok súčasnosti o zmysle a existencii samotnej inštitúcie. Matica slovenská, ktorá hoci rokmi bezohľadne napádaná, často vo veľmi skromných podmienkach, neustále rozosieva národnú a vlasteneckú kultúru prostredníctvom tisícok obetavých matičiarov a matičiarok na stovkách podujatí, o ktorých mnohí z tých, čo jej predpovedali, či skôr priali zánik, nemajú ani potuchy. Aj o tom je táto publikácia.

The Geoengineered Transhuman


An exposure of the ongoing global shift to digital biology and transhumanism? Explores how chemicals and nanotechnology are being continuously delivered via chemtrail aerosols by jets, drones, and rockets in the guise of ?climate change?? Examines the public-private partnerships behind transhumanism, including Big Pharma, GMO agribusiness, DARPA/IARPA, corporations, and foundations? Reveals the reality of the secret space program (SSP) and the planetary ?smart grid? of 5G/6G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI)What if the degradation of the planet is not just a byproduct of human greed but the explicit intention of government agencies bought off by corporations? What if their intent is to create a "post-human" global government run by AI, populated by a genetically and electromagnetically altered Homo sapiens loaded with nanotechnology and run by 5G/6G/7G transceivers from space?Building on decades of research, Elana Freeland offers a comprehensive exposé of the transhumanist agenda?the transformation of humanity into a slave class by means of biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. She reveals that weather control is already a global reality thanks to the aerosol chemtrails that maintain the ionized atmosphere needed for a myriad of military and civilian wireless operations. The air we breathe, the soil we grow our food in, and the water we drink have all been altered away from Nature and toward a synthetic "metaverse." Meanwhile, Big Pharma injects nano-sized hardware and software in vivo that activate a transhumanist brain-computer interface with AI. The author also examines the public-private partnerships behind transhumanism and reveals the reality of the secret space program and the planetary "smart grid" of 5G/6G.The eons-old dream of global power seems to be coming of age in this overwhelmingly technological era of domination by the wealthy. And yet by exposing the transhumanist agenda and studying the technology being employed to subjugate the human race, we have the opportunity to find ways not just to resist becoming machines ourselves but to utilize our technologies for restoring a high civilization in service to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

American Impresario


In 1994, William F. Buckley, Jr., the conservative icon, received a letter from an eighteen-year-old aspiring pianist by the name of Lawrence Perelman, the son of Soviet Jewish immigrants. Buckley’s response sparked a remarkable cross-generational friendship during which Perelman learned of the timeless elements of Buckley’s character, and the central role of classical music in Buckley’s American vision.Lawrence Perelman, an eighteen-year-old aspiring pianist and son of Soviet Jewish immigrants, wrote a letter to William F. Buckley, Jr., the conservative icon, in 1994. A remarkable cross-generational friendship was sparked by Buckley’s response. During their friendship Perelman would go on to learn of the timeless elements of Buckley’s character and the central role of classical music in Buckley’s American vision. In 2025, the 100th anniversary of Buckley’s birth, this book delves into some of Buckley’s virtues which Perelman witnessed firsthand and argues that those virtues can transform the fabric of America’s character. Their friendship spanned from 1995 to February 27, 2008, the day Buckley passed away in his Connecticut home while Perelman practiced piano in a nearby room for a private recital that evening for Buckley and friends that would never happen. American Impresario is a portrait of Buckley, the impresario of the conservative movement, man of faith, Cold Warrior, bulwark against Anti-Semitism, Renaissance man, musician, and mentor to countless people who continue their work today. This book will inspire readers, both young and old, to emulate Buckley’s virtues, including a return to civil discourse, anonymous philanthropy, faith, patriotism and fostering relationships between mentor and protégé, as part of a goal to reweave the fabric of our nation’s character.

Irish Fairy Forts


Far more than just a faint echo of the past, Ireland’s fairy forts are still vibrantly alive. The traditions connected to them are so powerful that, even today, people rarely interfere with Irish fairy forts or fairy trees.

So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so lon? ith evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them. And reminds us of the dangers of disturbing the ancient spirits dwelling beneath.

The Shang Economy


This Element constitutes a systematic attempt to preliminarily reconstruct the Shang economy based on contemporary archaeological and textual evidence. At the same time, the rapid pace of Chinese archaeological discovery and the increasing deployment of archaeological science means that there is a wealth of new information making a new synthesis both challenging and necessary. This synthesis was written from the perspective that the study of ancient economy necessarily proceeds from the construction of models and the systematic exploration of principal economic components, including their articulation and change over time. Setting the Shang in comparative context with other ancient economies in this series, those principal components are the domestic and institutional economy, specialization, forms of exchange, and diachronic developments. It is hoped that with this organization, comparison with other ancient economies can be more easily made and the significance of the Shang case more clearly seen.

Monsterland


Monsters, in all their terrifying glory, have preoccupied humans since we began telling stories. But where did these stories come from? In Monsterland, award-winning author Nicholas Jubber goes on a journey to discover more about the monsters we’ve invented, lurking in the dark and the wild places of the earth — giants, dragons, ogres, zombies, ghosts, demons — all with one thing in common: their ability to terrify. His far-ranging adventure takes him across the world. He sits on the thrones of giants in Cornwall, visits the shrine of a beheaded ogre near Kyoto, travels to an eighteenth-century Balkan vampire’s forest dwelling, and paddles among the shapeshifters of the Louisiana bayous. On his travels, he discovers that the stories of the people and places that birthed them are just as fascinating as the creatures themselves. Artfully written, Monsterland is a spellbinding interrogation into why we need these monsters and what they can tell us about ourselves — how they bind communities together as much as they cruelly cast away outsiders.

Superkomunikátori


Od autora bestsellera Sila zvyku prichádza prelomová kniha o superkomunikátoroch – ľuďoch, ktorí vedia doviesť rozhovor k úspešnému záveru. Dokážu hovoriť o ťažkých témach bez toho, aby ostatných urazili. Vedia, ako dosiahnuť, aby sa diskutujúci cítili uvoľnene a podelili sa o to, čo si myslia. Ako to robia? Duhigg odhaľuje, že každá konverzácia prebieha na troch úrovniach: praktickej (O čo tu vlastne ide?), emocionálnej (Ako sa cítime?) a sociálnej (Kto sme?). Ak nevieme, v ktorej rovine sa rozhovor odohráva, môžeme stratiť spojenie s druhou stranou. Autor ukazuje na príbehoch zo súdnych siení, tajných operácií CIA, firemných porád či scenárov úspešných televíznych seriálov, ako rozpoznať jednotlivé druhy rozhovorov a ako ich s prehľadom zvládnuť. Dozvieme sa, prečo niektorí ľudia dokážu presvedčiť, upokojiť či motivovať druhých, zatiaľ čo iní narážajú na nepochopenie a odpor. Superkomunikátori nie sú len knihou o reči – sú návodom na to, ako byť vypočutý, ako skutočne počúvať a ako vytvárať hlboké spojenia s ostatnými. Pretože so správnymi nástrojmi sa môžeme prepojiť s kýmkoľvek. Finalista prestížnej ceny SABEW za najlepšiu biznis knihu.
