Slave Trading in the Early Middle Ages
This book examines slave trading in northern and eastern central Europe from the seventh century through the eleventh century, tracing its growth, climax, and decline. Demand from the Islamic world in the ninth and tenth centuries prompted changes in warfare, trade logistics, and administrative responses to slavery in the slaving zones centred on the British Isles and the Czech lands. This study establishes slave trading as a core driver of connectivity and presents a model for this practice in politically fragmented areas of Europe.
The Politics of Sorrow
The Dalai Lama escaped from Tibet in 1959 after its occupation by China and established a government in exile in India. There, Tibetan leaders aimed to bring together displaced people from varied religious traditions and local loyalties under the banner of unity. To contest Chinese colonization and stand up for self-determination, Tibetan refugees were asked to shed regional allegiances and embrace a vision of a shared national identity. The Politics of Sorrow tells the story of the Group of Thirteen, a collective of chieftains and lamas from the regions of Kham and Amdo, who sought to preserve Tibet’s cultural diversity in exile. They established settlements in India in the mid-1960s with the goal of protecting their regional and religious traditions, setting them apart from the majority of Tibetan refugees, who saw a common tradition as the basis for unifying the Tibetan people. Tsering Wangmo Dhompa traces these different visions for Tibetan governance and identity, juxtaposing the Tibetan government in exile’s external struggle for international recognition with its lesser-known internal struggle to command loyalty within the diaspora. She argues that although unity was necessary for democracy and independence, it also drew painful boundaries between those who belonged and those who didn’t. Drawing on insightful interviews with Tibetan elders and an exceptional archive of Tibetan exile texts, The Politics of Sorrow is a compelling narrative of a tumultuous time that reveals the complexities of Tibetan identities then and now.
An Unorthodox History
A bold, new history of British Jewish life since the Second World War. Historian Gavin Schaffer wrestles Jewish history away from the question of what others have thought about Jews, focusing instead on the experiences of Jewish people themselves. Exploring the complexities of inclusion and exclusion, he shines a light on groups that have been marginalised within Jewish history and culture, such as queer Jews, Jews married to non-Jews, Israel-critical Jews and even Messianic Jews, while offering a fresh look at Jewish activism, Jewish religiosity and Zionism. Weaving these stories together, Schaffer argues that there are good reasons to consider Jewish Britons as a unitary whole, even as debates rage about who is entitled to call themselves a Jew. Challenging the idea that British Jewish life is in terminal decline, An unorthodox history demonstrates that Jewish Britain is thriving and that Jewishness is deeply embedded in the country''s history and culture.

Historiam videre
Když se J. A. Komenský dostal ve svém Věcném pansofickém slovníku k pojmu historia, začal etymologií: „Slovo je odvozeno od historeo vidím, hledím. Vlastně je to tedy to, co člověk viděl na vlastní oči.“ Není však historie něčím, co už z definice minulo, a stěží tak může být dostupné smyslovému poznání? V období raného novověku byla taková maxima nejen myslitelná, nýbrž explicitně proklamovaná. Zdaleka přitom nešlo o pouhý básnický obrat. Jednalo se o celý soubor textových, epistemologických a grafických praxí, s jejichž pomocí se historiografie šestnáctého a sedmnáctého století profilovala jako modelový empirický postup produkce a reprezentace vědění. A třebaže dějepisectví Jednoty bratrské je zpravidla nahlíženo jako typický příklad konfesijně vyhraněné produkce, která rezignovala na základní historiografický imperativ psát o dějinách sine ira et studio a nekriticky hájila stranické zájmy společenství, v jehož službách stála, v kontextu empirické epistemologie a jejích centrálních kategorií se dostává do jiného světla.
Stealing Horses to Great Applause
<i>Stealing Horses</i> presents arguably the finest considerations yet of the origins of the First World War. Breaking with accounts which focus on the actions of a single state or the final countdown to hostilities, Paul W. Schroeder describes the systemic crisis engulfing the Great Powers. They were more interested in colonial plunder overseas ('stealing horses to great applause', in the old Spanish adage) than the traditional statecraft of European peace-making. Preserving the balance of power required preserving all the essential actors in it, including a tottering Austria-Hungary. This the British in particular failed to recognise. The Central Powers may have started the War but that does not mean they in any real sense caused it. In the end Schroeder recalls the verdict of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: 'All are punished'.<br><br><i>Stealing Horses </i>includes appraisals of Niall Ferguson and A. J. P. Taylor, and an extensive unpublished final paper re-thinking the First World War as 'the last 18th-century war'.<br><br>With an Introduction by Perry Anderson.
Republics of Knowledge
An enlightening account of the entwined histories of knowledge and nationhood in Latin America—and beyondThe rise of nation-states is a hallmark of the modern age, yet we are still untangling how the phenomenon unfolded across the globe. Here, Nicola Miller offers new insights into the process of nation-making through an account of nineteenth-century Latin America, where, she argues, the identity of nascent republics was molded through previously underappreciated means: the creation and sharing of knowledge. Drawing evidence from Argentina, Chile, and Peru, Republics of Knowledge traces the histories of these countries from the early 1800s, as they gained independence, to their centennial celebrations in the twentieth century. Miller identifies how public exchange of ideas affected policymaking, the emergence of a collective identity, and more. She finds that instead of defining themselves through language or culture, these new nations united citizens under the promise of widespread access to modern information. Miller challenges the narrative that modernization was a strictly North Atlantic affair, demonstrating that knowledge traveled both ways between Latin America and Europe. And she looks at how certain forms of knowledge came to be seen as more legitimate and valuable than others, both locally and globally. Miller ultimately suggests that all modern nations can be viewed as communities of shared knowledge, a perspective with the power to reshape our conception of the very basis of nationhood. With its transnational framework and cross-disciplinary approach, Republics of Knowledge opens new avenues for understanding the histories of modern nations—and the foundations of modernity—the world over.

Jung and Spinoza
This volume presents the first major study of C.G. Jung?s curious relationship with the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza.Although Jung scarcely mentions Spinoza in his work, there is an unmistakable accord between the core ideas of both thinkers, most notably regarding Spinoza?s theory of God and the monism found in Jung?s writings. Exploring why Jung shows ambivalence toward Spinoza despite their affinity, Robert H. Langan argues that Spinoza offers Jung a radical solution to problems in his psychology. What results is a new interpretation of Jung?s metaphysics, the evidence for which has gone unheeded in Jungian studies to date. Ultimately for both Jung and Spinoza, knowledge of the self leads to knowledge of the Divine, and it is this championing of a ?transcendental immanence? that makes Jung an unlikely yet consummate Spinozist.Jung and Spinoza will be of interest to continental philosophers and depth psychologists who wish to bridge their respective fields, as well as general audiences curious about the ideas of both thinkers.

Buddhism
One of the world’s leading scholars of Buddhism presents the story of its dramatic journey across the globe, from 2,500 years ago to the present day“Perhaps no scholar is as well suited to serve as a guide to such travel as Lopez. . . . [He] excels at bringing moments of the Buddhist past to life.”—Natasha Heller, Times Literary Supplement Over the course of twenty-five centuries, Buddhism spread from its place of origin in northern India to become a global tradition of remarkable breadth, depth, and richness. In this ambitious book, Donald S. Lopez Jr. draws on the latest scholarship to construct a detailed and innovative history of Buddhism—not just as a chronology through the centuries or as geographic movement across a map, but as a dense matrix of interconnections. Beginning with the life and teachings of the Buddha, Lopez shows how a set of evolving ideas and practices traveled north and east to China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Tibet, south and southeast to Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and finally westward to Europe and the Americas. He provides insights on questions that Buddhism has asked and answered in different times and different places—about apocalypse, art, identity, immortality, law, nation, persecution, philosophy, science, sex, war, and writing. Vast in its erudition and expansive in its vision, this is the most complete single-volume history of Buddhism in its full historical and geographical range.
Dosýta
Možno si na sebe všímaš, že venuješ jedlu viac času a pozornosti než by bolo prirodzené a prínosné. Možno
máš pocit, že jedlo ti „prerástlo“ cez hlavu a je pre teba náročné sa z tohto otroctva vymaniť.
Kniha Dosýta priamo a úprimne otvára tému nezdravého vzťahu k jedlu, ktorá je v našej spoločnosti čoraz
aktuálnejšia. Asheritah Ciuciu v nej hovorí o tom, že prílišná zameranosť na jedlo je z psychologického
hľadiska formou závislosti, zatiaľ čo z duchovného pohľadu je modloslužbou. Vysvetľuje, že fixácia na jedlo
je ako hradba, ktorá nás „blokuje“ a obmedzuje. Je to niečo, čo v našom živote získalo neprimerane dôležité
miesto a do veľkej miery ovplyvňuje naše myšlienky, rozhodnutia, emócie, vzťahy a aj duchovný život. Ak sa
nezdravo „pútame“ k jedlu, môžeme po čase vnímať, že v našom živote niektoré veci nie sú v poriadku, že je
tu „niečo“, čo nám kradne pozornosť a schopnosť sústrediť sa a čo v nás vyvoláva pocity skľúčenosti,
smútku, hanby, zlyhania, až beznádeje.
To neznie ako život dosýta, však? Pretože ani nie je. Jedlo nás totiž nikdy skutočne a natrvalo neuspokojí,
nachvíľu nasýti naše telo, no nedokáže nasýtiť našu dušu. Ježiš áno. A práve o tom hovorí kniha Dosýta.
Ukazuje spôsob ako sa od fixácie na jedlo oslobodiť. Ako nájsť útechu tam, kde na nás čaká...

Sun and Ssukgat
A charming guide to living a longer, happier, healthier life, rooted in Korean self-care
For centuries, Korean families have shared wellbeing wisdom with loved ones, like gifted heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, to prevent and treat early illness. The idea is to stop symptoms before they become chronic, taking inspiration from the ssukgat, or chrysanthemum greens, that are treasured in Korean culture for their ability to heal. Natural, effective, and environmentally conscious, these solutions quietly and radically shift conventional Western thought.
Eco-entrepreneur Michelle Jungmin Bang takes readers on a journey across Korea - from scenic mountains with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the haenyeo divers of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to the much-loved, bustling bathhouses for young and old. Reflecting on how we can live sustainably and reconnect with nature, Michelle offers insight into Korean cultural concepts like jeong, the connection linking loved ones and places, and shares delicious, nourishing recipes inspired by her grandmother's kitchen.
Blending travel, experience, research, recipes and Michelle's beautiful illustrations, Sun & Ssukgat will empower readers with the age-old advice needed to escape the whirlwind of modern life and embrace a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

Who's Afraid of Gender?
From one of the most influential thinkers of our time, an enlightening, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world
Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed 'anti-gender ideology movements' dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization - and even 'man' himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights.
But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how 'gender' has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations and transexclusionary feminists, and the concrete ways in which this phantasm works. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.
An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a galvanizing call to make a broad coalition with all those who struggle for equality and fight injustice. Imagining new possibilities for freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless.

The House Divided
At the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and the slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Kerbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East.
The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Rogerson's original approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at each through its particular history of empires and occupiers, minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.
