Paměť


Paměť je mnohem víc než jen dokonalý záznam minulosti – a navíc ji lze úspěšně vycvičit, abyste si zapamatovali to, co je pro váš život skutečně důležité. Lidský mozek totiž není stavěn k memorování, ale především k myšlení. Neurovědec a psycholog Charan Ranganath na základě aktuálních výzkumů a poutavých osobních příběhů boří zažité mýty o vzpomínkách, zapomínání i efektivním učení. Odhaluje nejen způsob, jímž náš mozek pracuje s minulostí, ale především, jak tyto informace dále využíváme k porozumění sobě samým, ve vztazích nebo ke spřádání představ o budoucnosti. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: – Kdybychom nezapomínali, bylo by nutné uložit si denně do hlavy asi 34 gigabajtů informací. – Schopnost vybavit si to, co právě potřebujeme, si lze osvojit. – Pomocí práce s pamětí můžeme vyváznout ze zajetí předsudků i ze spárů traumatu. – Lidem lze překvapivě snadno vsugerovat falešné vzpomínky, a to i na činy, které nespáchali. – Zhoršování paměti během stárnutí se můžeme bránit osvědčenými postupy. – Poznejte fascinující mechanismy, které hrají klíčovou roli v tom, jak prožíváme své životy.

Trestný poriadok po komplexnej novele vo vreckovom vydaní


Poslanci schválili kontroverznú novelu (v podstate rekodifikáciu) trestného práva už začiatkom roka 2024, no Trestný poriadok nadobudol konečnú podobu až v decembri (po dvoch rozhodnutiach Ústavneho súdu SR a dvoch koncoročných novelizáciách – s následnou neprehľadnosťou právnej úpravy), preto sme vydali aktuálne znenie Trestného poriadku v obľúbenom vreckovom formáte.

Klamstvo – cesta k úspechu


Pravda sa dnes nenosí. Mnohí to už trpko pocítili na vlastnej koži. Vystriedali ju rôzne spôsoby lži, poloprávd a konšpirácií. A niekedy ani nevieme, kde ju hľadať. Máme okolo seba čoraz viac ľudí, pre ktorých sa klamstvo stalo životným štýlom, pracovnou náplňou, zdrojom majetku a moci. Uvedomujeme si, že ľudstvo nikdy nemalo k dispozícii toľko informácií ako dnes. Ale zároveň sme nikdy neboli vystavení toľkým klamstvám ako v online priestore. Internet a sociálne siete nám na jednej strane uľahčujú život a prácu, no na druhej strane nás vedia pomýliť. Ako sa nedať oklamať? Dá sa poznať pravda a čo to vlastne pravda je? Kam až klamstvo siaha? Táto kniha prináša viaceré cenné podnety pre každého, kto nechce byť klamaný.

All or Nothing


"He is FAKE NEWS, a total LOSER, and no one should waste their time or money in buying this boring and obviously fictitious book!" Donald Trump, President of the United States"Gripping-a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a ''life or death'' campaign." New York Times"Michael Wolff... the shrewdest and most colourful chronicler of the Trump years," Sunday TimesAll or Nothing is the final chapter in Wolff''s Fire and Fury series. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, it follows every turn of Donald Trump''s third presidential campaign. In disgrace after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and sent into exile, Trump immediately sputters back to life. To the shock of the Republican Party leadership, the Trump base has not abandoned him. Hardly a year on, he is as strong as any challenger has ever been. The American establishment is stunned by his comeback and determined to stop it and hold him accountable for his abuses of law and power. Equally, he has vowed retribution on anyone who tries to stand in his way. The 2024 presidential race is elemental: the system breaks Donald Trump or Donald Trump breaks the system.Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.Praise for Fire and Fury, Siege and Landslide"A book to shake America to its foundations" TheGuardian"Cruel, unforgiving, muckracking, scandalous. I couldn''t stop reading it." The Telegraph"Hilarious and frightening, and often reads like a Hollywood gossip column" Financial Times"Smart, vivid and intrepid," The New York Times

The Eurasian Century


We often think of the modern era as the age of American power. In reality, we're living in a long, violent Eurasian century. That giant, resource-rich landmass possesses the bulk of the global population, industrial might and potential military power; it touches all four of the great oceans. Eurasia is a strategic prize without equal-which is why the world has been roiled, reshaped and nearly destroyed by clashes over the supercontinent. Since the early twentieth century, autocratic powers-from Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II to the Soviet Union-have aspired for dominance by seizing commanding positions in the world's strategic heartland. Offshore sea powers, namely the United Kingdom and America, have sought to make the world safe for democracy by keeping Eurasia in balance. America's rivalries with China, Russia and Iran are the next round in this geopolitical game. If this new authoritarian axis succeeds in enacting a radically revised international order, America and other democracies will be vulnerable and insecure. Hal Brands, a renowned expert on global affairs, argues that a better understanding of Eurasia's strategic geography can illuminate the contours of rivalry and conflict in today's world. The Eurasian Century explains how revolutions in technology and warfare and the rise of toxic ideologies of conquest, made Eurasia the centre of twentieth-century geopolitics-with pressing implications for the struggles that will define the twenty-first.

Slávime jubileum


Človek odnepamäti slávi neopakovateľné chvíle v živote, ale aj okamihy veľkých zmien: narodenie, maturita, svadba, ukončenie školy… Sú to rituály našich dní. Nesmú chýbať. Potrebujeme ich, pretože tak ako deti potrebujeme snívať a súčasne žiť, nanovo si pripomínať a nezabúdať. U Židov boli slávnosti zárukou, že sa nezabudne na mocné činy, ktoré Boh vykonal v dejinách v prospech národa a jeho ďalších generácií. A jubilejné roky sú v kresťanstve vstúpením do milosrdnej lásky Boha, ktorý cez svojho Syna všetko stvorenie obnovuje svojím požehnaním. Stránky tejto knižky pomáhajú, podobne ako každé jubileum, vystúpiť zo všedného do nevšedného, z profánneho do sviatočného.

Unholy Kingdom


Religion, oil, and war bent to the House of Saud?s will to dominate Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle EastIn recent years the ruling family in Saudi Arabia, the House of Saud, has promoted the oil-rich kingdom as an open, liberalizing nation that has invested in culture, tourism, and social innovation to become a beacon for the region. International political manoeuvring, sports sponsorship, and the Vision 2030 programme with its vast architectural planning declare a bold future.

This is within the tumultuous context of the war in Yemen, sectarian rivalry with Iran, the crisis in Gaza, and volatile relations with the United States.Malise Ruthven, a leading commentator on Islamic affairs, reconstructs the nation?s history. He shows how the royal house co-opted Wahhabism to consolidate its power and enforce authoritarianism in collusion with Western businesses and governments. Unholy Kingdom looks to the nation?s future in the hands of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who touts the country?s liberalisation while aggressively imposing his will upon the region.This essential book traces the shifting fault lines in the Middle East to determine Saudi Arabia?s place in our volatile times.

Co je antropologie?


Přední světový antropolog Thomas Hylland Eriksen představuje antropologii jako revoluční způsob přemýšlení o lidských společnostech. Kniha je perfektním vstupem do oboru nejen pro studenty, ale i pro čtenáře, kteří se s touto vědní disciplínou zatím blíže neseznámili. Eriksen poutavým způsobem nastiňuje historii antropologie a základní pojmy, jako je společnost, osoba, kultura či překlad. Přibližuje také metody terénního výzkumu a hlavní témata, jimiž se antropologové zaobírají. Eriksen v knize Co je antropologie? přesvědčivě ukazuje, proč je antropologie jednou ze základních vědních disciplín a jak se její zjištění zrcadlí v mnoha současných debatách nejen o ekologii, identitě a podstatě lidství.

Řád života aneb 50 let psychoterapeutem


Existuje nějaký univerzální řád života a lidského spolubytí, jehož výsledkem je zdravý, spokojený, či dokonce šťastný život a jehož nerespektování se vždy určitým způsobem vymstí, například i nemocí? Tomuto tématu se věnuje doc. Jan Poněšický čerpaje z knih, které ho oslovily, i ze své padesátileté zkušenosti psychoterapeuta. Ptá se, zda je možné odvodit základní zásady dobrého života z lidské podstaty, z našich potřeb a přání, obav a úzkostí. Zabývá se problémem lidské svobody a její proměnou v libovůli bez hranic, které jsou nutné, avšak neměly by být restriktivní, nýbrž měly by poskytovat potřebný klid a jistotu pro osobnostní rozvoj i konstruktivní řešení konfliktů. Nakonec se odvažuje nastínit modifikaci biblického desatera, odpovídající dnešnímu světu. Ve druhé části knihy autor přibližuje svůj angažovaný a současně kritický pohled na psychosomatiku a psychoterapii a její vývoj s přehlížením spirituální dimenze člověka, jakož i nedostatečným důrazem na láskyplnost a hodnotovou orientaci pacientů. Kniha je určena nejen lékařům, psychologům, filozofům a psychoterapeutům, ale i zainteresované veřejnosti. Proto je napsaná srozumitelnou češtinou, jak na to jsou čtenáři Poněšického knih zvyklí.

The Entanglement


Why human nature is an aesthetic phenomenon—and why we need art and philosophy to understand ourselvesIn The Entanglement, philosopher Alva Noë explores the inseparability of life, art, and philosophy, arguing that we have greatly underestimated what this entangled reality means for understanding human nature. Life supplies art with its raw materials, but art, Noë argues, remakes life by giving us resources to live differently. Our lives are permeated with the aesthetic. Indeed, human nature is an aesthetic phenomenon, and art—our most direct and authentic way of engaging the aesthetic—is the truest way of understanding ourselves. All this suggests that human nature is not a natural phenomenon. Neither biology, cognitive science, nor AI can tell a complete story of us, and we can no more pin ourselves down than we can fix or settle on the meaning of an artwork. Even more, art and philosophy are the means to set ourselves free, at least to some degree, from convention, habit, technology, culture, and even biology. In making these provocative claims, Noë explores examples of entanglement—in artworks and seeing, writing and speech, and choreography and dancing—and examines a range of scientific efforts to explain the human. Challenging the notions that art is a mere cultural curiosity and that philosophy has been outmoded by science, The Entanglement offers a new way of thinking about human nature, the limits of natural science in understanding the human, and the essential role of art and philosophy in trying to know ourselves.

The Arcana of Reproduction


Emerging from the great social upheavals that contested the sexual and racial divisions of labor globally in the 1970s, Leopoldina Fortunati's classic work expands and transforms how we analyze the sphere of reproduction, redefining the value of the individual's life and the labor performed in the home. Released here for the first time in its unabridged form with historical notation and contemporary commentary, The Arcana of Reproduction is a foundational text and essential contribution to today's discussions of social reproduction and the history of Italian feminism. Fortunati's work provides some of the earliest theorizations of 'immaterial,' 'affective,' and 'caring' labor, and of the role of technology in reproduction, articulated decades before their popular reception in English academic literature. Reading this work some 50 years after its original publication gives us the tools to analyze the contemporary state of capitalist development and of women's lives today. The text remains prefigurative and essential in our era of digital labor.

Healing with Haiku


Therapeutic writing is something that has been a recommended part of many wellness programs dealing with trauma, addiction, anxiety, stress and more. The act of putting thoughts, memories and feelings into paper is a simple and effective tool for better awareness and understanding. Furthermore, writing to heal is about what you say, why you feel compelled to express it, and how you feel while and after you write it. Healing with Haiku uses the process of creating haikus as the main conduit for wellness and emotional expression. An ancient form of poetry known for its brevity, concise use of language, and focus on existential matters, haikus are the perfect way for anyone to get started in using writing to heal. In the book, people will learn to write haiku with the goal of exploring their inner selves more deeply - emotionally and perhaps spiritually. Expanding our capacity to notice, explore, and express our emotions is the key to living a more balanced, peaceful, and joyous life. Classic haiku aims to incorporate certain elements: nature, sensory awareness, self-discovery, a glimpse of enlightenment, a truth. All this while adhering to the 5-7-5 syllabication structure. Three lines, seventeen syllables--a whole word of mindfulness and understanding. The goal is not to help you to create a precisely crafted and poetically profound haiku, but to guide you in learning how to write one of the most simple and concise forms of poetry to discover and express what is true to you.

Prečo jednotkári pracujú pre trojkárov a dvojkári pre štát


„Ak to nedokážete vysvetliť šesťročnému dieťaťu, potom tomu nerozumiete ani vy sami.“ – Albert Einstein 84 % študentov hovorí, že potrebuje finančné vzdelanie. Iba 20 % učiteľov ich to dokáže naučiť. 91 % rodičov hovorí, že je odhodlaných dať svojmu dieťaťu lekcie o finančnej zodpovednosti. Vždy som sa pýtal svojich učiteľov: „Prečo ma neučíte o peniazoch?“ Nikdy mi na moju jednoduchú otázku neodpovedali. Do akej miery je dnešná kríza krízou vzdelávania... alebo nedostatkom vzdelania? Čo dnes môže rodič urobiť – doma –, aby poskytol svojmu dieťaťu počiatočnú výhodu? Táto kniha je určená rodičom, ktorí chcú pripraviť svoje dieťa na svet, na ktorý ho školy nepripravia – na skutočný svet peňazí. – Robert Kiyosaki
