The Knights Templar
This expert book covers the fascinating and romantic history that reveals the order of the Knights Templar. It charts the rise and influence of the order, its changing fortunes, losing the base in Jerusalem in the Third Crusade, the fall of Acre, and the destruction of the order by Pope Clement V and Philip IV of France. The speculative myths and questions about these legendary knights are fully discussed, as are controversial claims and conspiracies that have surrounded them for centuries. Among these are whether the Templars discovered America and if they were the guardians of the Holy Grail. With well-researched text and evocative illustrations this volume shows the historical legacy of the Templars and how they have influenced contemporary organizations, art, literature and legend. An in-depth illustrated chronicle of one of history’s most secretive brotherhoods, from its origins as a champion of Christ in the middle ages to its mysterious legacy in the present day. Charts the rise and fall of the order, from humble men of the Cross to powerful warrior-monks. Investigates the templars’ mysteries, handed down through the centuries, and their links to the Holy Grail, the Turin shroud, the ark of the covenant, the skull of Sidon, and involvement in the history of freemasonry. Examines the debate on whether the knights were brave crusaders, servants of Christ, treacherous heretics or mercenary outlaws. A comprehensive and fascinating guide, with 200 illustrations.
Washington Is Burning
Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington - a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.
Unsung Heroines
Why are there so few public monuments honoring women? Unsung Heroines shows it's time to claim that space!Women are grossly underrepresented in all of the Bay Area's public spaces, but not because they didn't exist! Did you know about Charlotte Brown, a Black woman in San Francisco who in 1863 took the city's transportation system to court for forcibly removing her from a streetcar, and won her landmark case? How about the first Chinese-American woman to register to vote, Clara Chan Lee, who went on to start the Chinese Women's Self-Reliance Association? Or Barbara May Cameron, a Native American writer, photographer, and activist who co-founded the first gay American Indian liberation organization? How many other notable women who deserve public recognition have been written out of the history of our regio? rawn from award-winning journalist Rae Alexandra's KQED Arts & Culture series, "Rebel Girls From Bay Area History," Unsung Heroines is a collection of 35 short profiles honoring the contributions of a diverse group of women from San Francisco, the East Bay, and the greater Bay Area, from the very first years of the founding of San Francisco to the present day. Educators and organizers, adventurers and entertainers, these inspiring women had a profound impact on our region. Together, their stories constitute a new telling of the history of Northern California from the vantagepoint of women who made a difference. A reader's perspective will be permanently altered by the realization of just how many of these untold stories have been lost to time, encouraging them to scan their own environment for traces of women whose stories deserve to be recovered and told.
The Society of the Screen
How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilem Flusser s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens. Predicting the importance of technology and images in the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilem Flusser warned, the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation. The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society or another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence. In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, art historian and critic Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser s thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser s lifelong engagement with experimental practices from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States as well as his extensive involvement with the Sao Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from history a civilization informed by linear writing into post-history, dominated by technical images. The book delves deeply into how Flusser s ideas evolved, particularly in correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner.

Normální a patologická láska
Autor se ve své knize věnuje hlubinné analýze milostných vztahů. Zabývá se různými formami lásky od sexuálního vzrušení přes erotickou touhu až po zralou lásku, přičemž se opírá o psychoanalytické teorie Sigmunda Freuda a jeho následovníků. Zkoumá, jak vývoj sexuality ovlivňuje vztahové vzorce a jaké faktory mohou vést k patologii. Kniha se tak soustředí na dynamiku lásky v jejích různých podobách – od zralé sexuální lásky až po poruchy, jako je narcismus, agrese nebo masochismus. Kernberg ukazuje, do jaké míry jsou nevědomé psychické obsahy a jejich aktivace odpovědné jak za vztahové konflikty, tak za ty nejvíce vzrušující momenty milostného života člověka.
A nagy elszaródás: Miért romlott el hirtelen minden, és mit tehetünk ellene?
Nem csak te érzed így – az internet tényleg pocsék hely lett. De miért, és mit tehetünk ellene?
A nagy elszaródás korában élünk: egy olyan korszakban, amikor az életünket átszövő, fontos online szolgáltatások lassan teljesen használhatatlanná és élvezhetetlenné válnak. Az egész rettentő frusztráló és kiábrándító, ráadásul néha egyenesen félelmetes is.
Ez a könyv nemcsak felismeri a problémát, hanem megoldást is kínál rá.
Amikor Cory Doctorow megalkotta az enshittification kifejezést, nem csupán egy szórakoztatóbb módot keresett arra, hogy elmondja: „minden rosszabb lett.” Egy sokkal pontosabb diagnózist adott a digitális világ állapotáról, és arról, hogyan hat ez mindannyiunk életére (spoilerveszély: nem jól).
Az egykor csodálatos internetet elfoglalták a platformok (Google, Facebook stb.), amelyek szinte varázslatos ígéreteket tettek a felhasználóknak, és eleinte tényleg hozták is az elvártakat. De amint elég embert sikerült magukhoz láncolniuk, elkezdték kihasználni őket, hogy kielégítsék az üzleti ügyfeleik igényeit. Ezután jött az üzleti ügyfelek kifacsarása, mert a platformok mindent maguknak akartak. Végül azonban ez a vesztükhöz fog vezetni.
Doctorow érvelése telibe talált: amint nevet kapott, nyilvánvalóvá vált, hogy az elszaródás mindenhol ott van. Az Amerikai Nyelvészeti Társaság 2023-ban az év szavának választotta, és a Black Mirror 2025-ös évadát is nagyban inspirálta.
Most pedig a szerző túlmutat a bénító „úgyis mindennek vége” érzésen. Megmutatja a konkrét döntéseket, amelyek idáig vezettek minket, hogy kik hozták őket, és ami a legfontosabb: hogyan lehetne mindezt visszacsinálni.
Filosofický a dějinný smysl geopolitiky 20. a 21. století
Autor rozvrhuje filozofický a dějinný smysl geopolitiky v rámci světových dějin od první světové války do jeho současného vyústění. Ukazuje hlavní souřadnice, jež se během 20. století vyvinuly jako souvislý geopolitický střet fenoménu demokratické civilizace s totalitarismem. Popisuje, jak tento konflikt určujícím způsobem charakterizuje přítomné světové dějiny. Jádro práce tvoří analýza současné „druhé studené války“, tedy v podstatě již globálního konfliktu mezi většinou států demokratické civilizace a úzce kooperující, totalitně orientovanou globální osou Rusko – Írán – komunistická Čína – komunistická Severní Korea, jenž se zatím v nejdramatičtější podobě odehrává jako dobyvačná ruská válka proti Ukrajině, obdobná chystaná válka komunistické totalitní Číny proti čínskému demokratickému Tchaj-wanu, nynější čínská mocenská expanze v Indopacifiku a Jihočínském, resp. Východočínském moři a íránská válka proti Izraeli a demokratickému světu prostřednictvím zástupných teroristických uskupení.
Ta bolest nejsi ty
Psychoterapie je v české společnosti stále zahalená jakýmsi závojem tajemna. Lidé si nejsou jistí, co se s nimi bude při konzultacích dít, jaký vliv na ně bude psychoterapeut mít, zda je to bezpečné a zda to vůbec potřebují. Hlavním smyslem knihy Ta bolest nejsi ty, je popularizovat psychoterapii a nabídnout čtenáři bezpečnou exkurzi do reálných psychoterapeutických konzultací.
K tomu zkušená psycholožka a psychoterapeutka PhDr. Tereza Ševčíková vybrala konkrétní příběhy svých šesti klientů, kteří jí dali souhlas se zveřejněním. Byť je každý příběh jedinečný a originální, některá témata se v její praxi objevují častěji, a právě s těmi se čtenář setká. Jsou jimi: emoční zanedbání v dětství, tajemství, tabu a vztahy v rodině, nepříjemné nálady a nezvladatelné emoce - hněv a úzkost, dospělé děti alkoholiků a sexuální zneužívání v dětství.
Kromě konkrétního příběhu obsahuje každá kapitola krátké teoretické ukotvení stěžejního tématu a také konkrétní rady a tipy čtenářům, kteří řeší podobné problémy, ale zatím nemají v plánu do psychoterapie vstoupit.
Jedná se o praktickou knížku pro běžného člověka, který se nebojí nechat vyzvat životem tak, jak přichází. Prožívá bolesti i radosti, stresy a nejistoty, vzestupy i pády nebo nečekané změny. Klade si otázky a občas si neví rady, ale nevzdává se a chce prožít důstojný a krásný život.
S předmluvou Radkina Honzáka.

How to Stop Trying
Have you ever heard someone say, “I’m trying to make it work,” and thought, “That sounds like a great idea”? Probably not. Because the thing about trying is that it’s tiring; it’s labor. Anyone who has tried to have fun or to relax or to fall asleep knows this to be true. And yet: we exist within a culture that encourages us—often with a frantic urgency—to try, and try harder. We are told to try a different approach, try to do or be better, try to squeeze in a little bit more. This is especially true of women, who not only have to try harder than men to receive access to the same opportunities and resources, but who are also conditioned to try in the name of meeting others' needs and expectations, often at the expense of their own well-being. In this galvanizing and illuminating read, Kate tackles hustle culture head-on, exploring the ways in which women are primed to become relentless strivers. From the workplace to motherhood, from relationships to “self-care”—no arena of a woman’s life is safe from the pressure to exceed expectations. This conflation of self-worth with achievement, she argues, is both toxic and counterproductive, as the qualities we most seek—happiness, meaning, purpose—are not earned but rather owned. Known for her astute cultural analysis and pitch-perfect observations of generational trends, Williams takes readers on a journey rooted in her own struggle to divest from an overachieving identity, including the realizations that came in the wake of a painful fertility challenge. Deeply felt, passionately argued, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is a book for every woman who has ever wondered what would happen if she stopped trying so hard—and just let go.
Spiritualita posvátné Země
Kniha je osobní i společenskou výpovědí o spiritualitě pro naši dobu. Opírá se o předpoklad neduality – vnitřní a vnější, božské a pozemské tvoří souzvuk spolubytí. Rozvíjí zkušenost posvátné mnohosti kultur, náboženství i forem života a propojuje péči, vztahovost a uznání naší zranitelnosti. Autor nás postupně provází čtyřmi cestami: via positiva (krása a vděčnost), via negativa (temnota a pomíjivost), via creativa (tvořivost a imaginace) a via transformativa (společenská proměna). Vychází z osobní duchovní i terapeutické zkušenosti, současné planetární krize i z inspirace mystickými tradicemi (zvláště křesťanské spirituality stvoření a angažovaného buddhismu). Výsledkem je „manifest“ spolubytí – vize, která zve k soucitu, odvaze a nové kultuře života.

Place-Names and Landholding in Early Medieval England
This book discusses how various recurrent early medieval place-names ending in tun might have originated in response to social, economic, political or religious factors. It considers specifically whether these names might, as some scholars have suggested, reflect a possible function related to one or more aspects of early medieval society but which is not apparent from their etymology. It examines studies of names such as Stretton, Eaton, Burton and Kingston and questions recent theories around suggested functions for these places. The author proposes that most of these recurrent compounds named a land unit distinguished by a simple topographical feature or by the name or status of the landholder rather than by a presumed function. She also considers the hypothesis that the perceived concentration of certain recurrent names in clusters, largely in the central and southern regions of England, was the result of a deliberate designation of these places to provide a function in the strategic defence and administration of Mercia during the eighth and early ninth centuries, with some other kingdoms, especially Wessex, following the Mercian example. She has sought to explain why there is not enough evidence to substantiate, or disprove, the hypothesis about clusters of ‘functional’ place-names and at the same time to show that there is enough evidence to cast doubt on that hypothesis and the nature of the data used to support it. The meaning and uses of tun, regarded as the commonest element in English place-names, are part of the argument presented in this book. In the light of archaeological and related research in recent decades, some of the past translations of tun are no longer tenable. This book argues for a general meaning of a defined area of land, held as a unit with rights over the land and its people. The widespread use of tun reflects a society where landholding was essential to survival and for wealth and power.
Stand
Cory Booker captivated Americans across the political spectrum in early 2025 with his remarkable 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, when he spoke out forcefully against the Trump administration's relentless challenges to civil liberties, government institutions, the rule of law, and our nation's international standing. In the process, he outlasted the record for longest continuous Senate floor speech set by segregationist Strom Thurmond during a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was delivered at another time of great uncertainty when it felt like the odds were hopelessly stacked against justice and unity. Stand expands on that message and offers a compelling vision for the future to readers who are eager to make a difference. It focuses on the virtues that are vital to our success as a nation and the lessons we can draw from past generations of Americans who fought for them. Now is not the time to surrender to cynicism or abandon our most noble ideals. Now is the time to defiantly declare, like our ancestors before us: 'I, too, stand for America."Stand is a celebration of the Americans who chose to get up in the face of injustice, who championed the uniquely American values central to making our nation a more perfect union, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is also a guide for today: leadership is not derived from position or title, it comes from action and example.
Grounded
We know the environment is in trouble—and we’re seeing direct effects on human health as a result. Only when we restore our natural connection with the earth can we help to heal it and ourselves. This is the premise of Grounded, a clarion call and revolutionary guide from author Dr. Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow. Based on current trends, it’s estimated that over 90% of the earth’s soils could become degraded by 2050, affecting food production, flooding, and clean water supplies. This isn’t a doomsday prophecy—it is our realistic future if we don’t take action now. In this revised and updated edition, McMorrow provides tools and practices to transform ourselves, our socioeconomic systems, and the environment that sustains. It’s time to ground ourselves, returning to a cyclical, regenerative style of living, eating, loving, and dying. “Being grounded involves rooting within ourselves to expand in the world,” explains McMorrow. “It means navigating from a place of power, clarity, creativity, and balance.”Explore the ecological and spiritual basis of our existing climate crises—including what’s happening with our soil and carbon cycles—to understand how we’ve gotten into our current state. Grounded gives us the wisdom and guidance to do the sacred work of reconnecting with the divine feminine and initiating transformation to address our carbon legacy and save our planet (and ourselves).
Výchova a vzdělávání v bodech obratu
Kniha je sbírkou dvanácti rozhovorů, které vedl Tomáš Janík, profesor Masarykovy univerzity, s představiteli české i zahraniční pedagogiky na téma obraty ve výchově a vzdělávání. Dotazovaní své odpovědi situovali do širšího časového rámce. Často do období modernity – zejména reformně pedagogického hnutí z přelomu 19. a 20. století, dále do éry tzv. socialistické školy a především do vývoje po roce 1989. Z témat žhavé současnosti byla v rozhovorech reflektována pandemie covid-19 a válečný konflikt na Ukrajině.
S Tomášem Janíkem rozmlouvali: Stanislav Štech, Petr Najvar, Dana Kasperová, Karel Rýdl, Wilfried Göttlicher, Štefan Porubský, Vladimíra Spilková, Eliška Walterová, Michal Kaplánek, Vladimír Jůva, Dag Hrubý a Petra Šobáňová.
Název v angličtině: Education and Turning Points in Society
Before You Go
This isn’t the end. This is the beginning of everything that matters. I had a great life. A successful business. A dream home. A woman who loved me. And still, my marriage was falling apart. Not because I didn’t love her, but because I didn’t know how. I thought love was enough. It turned out, it wasn’t. Before You Go is the story of what happened when I stopped trying to fix my wife and finally decided to work on myself. It’s not a theory. It’s lived. Ten lessons. Ten turning points. Three years of real work in therapy. I wrote this for every man who feels stuck. For every woman who feels unseen. For every couple still in love, but no longer sure how to show it. If you’ve ever thought: I love them, so why can’t I get this right? This book is for you.
The Escapes of David George
When most Americans think of slavery, they do not picture the colonial or revolutionary eras. Yet, in fact, one of six inhabitants of the thirteen original colonies was enslaved. The Escapes of David George: An Odyssey of Slavery, Freedom, and the American Revolution reveals a remarkable, untold experience of the American revolutionary period—a Black man’s quest for the freedom espoused by our Founders, but denied him and other enslaved people. In 1762, at the age of 19, David George escaped from a plantation in Virginia. Running southwest by night, fording rivers and crossing borders, he embarked on a decades-long journey in and out of captivity that spanned multiple colonies and thousands of miles. George lived among White, Black, Creek, and Natchez settlements, fled to the British Army for the promise of liberty, founded what might have been the first Black Baptist church, helped to hack a settlement for refugees out of the Nova Scotia wilderness, and died as a leader of an experimental anti-slavery community in Sierra Leone. Piecing together archival records and David George’s own brief account of his life—the earliest written testimony by a fugitive enslaved person in North America--Gregory O’Malley presents a thrilling narrative and a unique perspective on our nation’s origins, principles, and contradictions.
Herefordshire's Military Heritage
Herefordshire has always been a border region and prone to conflict. During the Iron Age it was the dividing line between the Silures and Dobunni tribes and many hill forts in the area are still visible. The division heightened with the coming of the Romans as the Dobunni accepted Roman rule but the Silures carried out a successful guerilla campaign against the invaders. The arrival of the Saxons pushed the people that came to be called the Welsh back through the county, so that when the Normans took control, they found an unruly land that demanded their full attention and building of border castles by the Marcher Lords. Throughout the medieval period Herefordshire was fought over by the Vikings, Normans and the Welsh, culminating in the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr. Civil wars also played out among the green fields of Herefordshire, from the Anarchy of the twelfth century to the Wars of the Roses of the fifteenth century and the Civil War of the seventeenth century. Later, Herefordshire supplied many men for Britain’s armed forces in its county regiments, not least in the world wars of the twentieth century, and the county is a fitting home for the Special Air Service, the most feared unit in the British Army. This book will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Herefordshire’s remarkable military history.
Love and Virtue in a Secular Age
In a comprehensive meditation on freedom and reason, Ralph Hancock reveals the pressing need for renewed confidence in virtue and agency. With an emphasis on reclaiming the moral preconditions of Christian love, Love and Virtue in a Secular Age offers a thought-provoking study on the effects of secularism on Christian morality. Ralph C. Hancock brings eminent scholars of the Christian Aristotelian tradition, such as Thomas Aquinas and Pierre Manent, into conversation with insights from Leo Strauss's critique of Christianity. Love and Virtue in a Secular Age sheds light on the various ways in which the increasing prevalence of secular humanitarian sensibility has voided the idea of humanity of its natural substance. In a probing reflection poised at the intersection of the theological and the political, Hancock outlines a new theological ethic according to which faith must redeem a certain pride and particularism on behalf of real Christian communities and the virtues they enact.
