Historická detektivka, 2. vydání


Touha po dobrodružství a napětí je v lidské mentalitě zakořeněná hluboce a silně. Kramářské tisky, noviny, šestákové romány – to všechno naši předkové „hltali“ s chutí. Jejich představivost a povědomí o dění v cizích zemích upoutávaly zprávy o válkách, povstáních či hladomorech, z „domácích“ událostí dominovaly různé mordy a tajemné historie. Publikace si však neklade za cíl zaujmout senzačními odhaleními. Předkládané příběhy, z bádání odborníků a publikované ve formě seriálu v magazínu Tajemství minulosti, se skutečně udály. Mohou pobavit, poučit, a možná i vzdělat. Pojďte s námi na výpravu napříč staletími na dvory českých knížat a králů, zákulisí politických jednání, ale i do temných městských uliček a malebných vesnic. Záleží jen na vás, jakým způsobem budete Historickou detektivku číst, zda jako zábavnou formu oddychu, dobrodružnou výpravu do časů dávno minulých či jako k rozšíření vlastních historických obzorů. Ať už kteroukoli cestu, vždy se můžete nechat unášet napínavým vyprávěním příběhů, které tvořily českou historii!

Z-HATÁS - A vezetés új korszaka - Hogyan teremts motivációt, elköteleződést és lojalitást a 21. században?


A Z-HATÁS - A vezetés új korszaka arra a kérdésre ad választ, amivel ma egyre több vezető szembesül, hogy miért nem működnek már azok a vezetői módszerek, amelyek korábban beváltak. A könyv nem a Z generáció "kezeléséről" szól, hanem arról, hogy megváltozott a munka világa, és ezzel együtt megváltoztak az emberek motivációi, reakciói és elvárásai is. A Z generáció megjelenése csak láthatóvá tette azt a fordulópontot, ahol a klasszikus vezetői módszerek már nem eredményeznek valódi elköteleződést és lojalitást. Kaszás Péter vezetéspszichológiai szakértő közérthetően, mégis szakmai mélységgel mutatja meg, mi miért történik a csapatokban, mi áll az esetleges ellenállás, a motiválatlanság vagy a fluktuáció mögött, és milyen szemléletváltásra van szükség ahhoz, hogy egy vezető ma hitelesen és hatékonyan működjön. A Z-HATÁS nem elméleti könyv. Konkrét, azonnal használható vezetői megközelítéseket ad ahhoz, hogyan lehet motivált, együttműködő és lojális csapatot építeni a 21. században. Olyan iránytűt ad a vezetők kezébe, amely segít a generációs különbségeket nem problémaként, hanem tudatosan használható erőforrásként kezelni. Ez a könyv nem megnyugtat, hanem szembesít, és éppen ezért képes valódi vezetői változást elindítani.

Ferenc József látogatásai Magyarországon 1843-1867


Mit látott a császár a Magyar Királyságban, és mit akart láttatni magáról Lajtán inneni alattvalói felé? Mikor volt egy látogatás tapasztalatszerzés, szükséges kötelezettség, bemutatkozás, és mikor, miért és hogyan vált ellenőrzéssé vagy éppen hatalmi üzenetté? A kötet Ferenc József magyarországi utazásait követi a tizenhárom éves főherceg 1843-as dunántúli körútjától a szabadságharc utáni évek feszült látogatásain át az 1867-es kiegyezésig. A szerző lépésről lépésre követi az utak előkészítését és lefolyását: az útvonalakat, a közlekedést, a szállást, a császár biztonságát szavatoló intézkedéseket, a beszédek, ünnepi menetek, díszítések, valamint a sajtó szerepét és a hivatalos hangulatjelentések megállapításait. A személyes hangú levelekben és naplókban fennmaradt benyomások nemcsak a döntéshozók, hanem a fogadó városok és a nézők szemszögéből is kirajzolják egy-egy császári látogatás olykor meglehetősen eltérő tapasztalatát. Kiemelt fejezetek szólnak az 1852-es, közel két hónapos országjárásról és az 1857-es látogatásról, amikor már a fogadtatás várható reakcióit is igyekeztek előre felmérni. A kötet közel húsz év kutatásának összegzése: újonnan bevont forrásokat felhasználva és gazdag képanyaggal illusztrálva mutatja be többek között azt is, hogy a császári látogatások tapasztalata mennyiben járult hozzá a kiegyezés politikai feltételeinek megteremtéséhez 1867 előtt.

Ancient British and Irish Celts in Greek and Roman Sources (500 BC–AD 60)


Ancient Ireland and Britain were large Celtic territories on the northwest edge of Europe. They were subject to myth and speculation by the early Greeks and Romans, but they later became the focus for trade, exploration and partial conquest. Dr Raoul McLaughlin presents the ancient sources for the Atlantic Celts in chapters covering the resources, commerce, warfare and beliefs of the oceanic Celts. This book contains updated translations of ancient sources concerning the lands known as Ivernia and Britannia. These accounts reveal what the Greeks and Romans knew about the origins, culture, and social practices of the insular Celts. The evidence begins in 600 BC when Carthaginian merchant ships explored the Atlantic coasts of western Europe searching for metal alloys. Then, in 325 BC, a Greek mariner named Pytheas explored the northern limits of the Atlantic territories and returned with accounts of Bretannike, Ierne and Thule. But it was Rome that led armies across the northern seas to conquer Britain. This book includes the campaign reports of Julius Caesar, along with accounts of conquests by the Emperor Claudius. These ancient texts reveal the ambitions, conflict and compromises involved in establishing the Roman province of Britannia, which by AD 60 encompassed most of southern Britain. This book therefore provides a unique resource for future scholarship and a fascinating insight for anyone interested in the distant Celtic past.

Observances, Feasts, and Scripts


Observances, Feasts, and Scripts is the first monograph written in English to offer a comprehensive analysis of the varieties of zhai, a multifaceted term with deep historical and religious significance in Chinese Buddhism. Drawing on a wide array of sources—including canonical texts, apocryphal writings, hagiographies, and ritual documents—this book unveils zhai as a ritual complex encompassing temporary observances, communal feasts, and modes of interaction between the seen and unseen realms. These practices, rooted in both lay and monastic traditions, illustrate the intricate interplay between food, community, and ritual in Indian and Chinese Buddhism. Part I traces how Indian Buddhist temporary observances were adapted, debated, and reimagined in the Chinese context. Part II explains the sponsored feast as a mechanism for lay-monastic interaction and merit-making. It also examines how Buddhists engaged with deities and spirit saints through remote invitations and ritual offerings. Part III focuses on "scripts" used for receiving the Eightfold Observance and conducting sponsored feasts, thus revealing their evolution from simple master-disciple interactions to complex communal events. Observances, Feasts, and Scripts is an essential resource for scholars interested in food-related religious practices and the history of Buddhism. Through its meticulous examination of Chinese, Pali, Sanskrit, and Tibetan materials, the book offers a fresh perspective on Chinese Buddhism as an intercultural endeavor. It sheds light on relevant scholastic debates, the creation of apocrypha, translation strategies, and ritual innovations in medieval China. By moving beyond teleological frameworks such as Sinicization, it emphasizes the agency of cultural, doctrinal, and social factors in shaping these practices. Additionally, it engages with the cognitive dimensions of ritual and highlights ritual logic as a cross-cultural analytical lens.

Allied Weapons That Made the Difference in World War Two


In 1943, US bomber crews based in the UK were tasked with a 25-mission tour of duty. Most crews never made it past their fifth. The Luftwaffe owned the skies over Europe and the men of the Eighth Air Force were paying the price and strategic bombing was being called into question. Until, that is, the arrival of the Rolls Royce powered long-range P-51 Mustang. The tale of the P-51 began with a request from a wartime British procurement commission in April 1940. In response, Dutch Kindelberger and Edgar Schmued of North American Aviation set the gears in motion that would give birth to the groundbreaking fighter aircraft—the P-51 Mustang. The aircraft was an unqualified success and swept the Luftwaffe from the skies over German, facilitating devasting raids on German industry and paving the way for D-Day in 1944. This book goes on to tell the stories behind ten other weapons and weapons systems, from the drawing board to successful field deployment and their strategic impact beyond the battlefield. They were inspired by outstanding designers such as Sir Sydney Camm, scientists such as Alan Turing, and industrial visionaries such as Andrew Jackson Higgin. Their stories are interlinked with many of the most famous events and people in the history of World War II. Some of the weapons are well-known, others less so, and some are not usually regarded as weapons at all, such as SPAM and the Royal Navy’s “game” used to defeat the U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic. The Allies found that these weapons meant their forces could be better led given that they had faith in the means given to them to gain victory. The author explores the development, the challenges, and the deployment of these “weapons” and analyses their operational and strategic impact on the allied war effort and their collective contribution to eventual victory. This very readable account is a different perspective on the weapons that won the war.

Lost Heirs of the Tudor Crown


Two commoners pretend to be royalty to bring down the Tudors. The long-awaited Tudor prince dies of the Sweat on his fifteenth birthday. The Queen of Scots is ruthlessly executed by the Queen of England. A seventeen-year-old ascends the Throne of England to rule it for a mere nine days. The last Plantagenet prince is put to death to facilitate a much-longed-for marriage alliance. From Mary, Queen of Scots, to Lady Jane Grey, from Edward, Earl of Warwick, to Arthur Tudor and on to Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, these were the Lost Heirs to the Tudor Throne. They were the ones who - had luck favoured them - could have ascended the Throne of England. With an overview of the lives of the Princes in the Tower and the Battle of Bosworth, this book delves into the lives of these commoners and royalty alike, who may have rewritten history had they ascended the throne.

Questioning Sexuality


Western thinking on sexuality has historically affirmed not only a binary division between two sexes, each of which is defined by unique fixed attributes that delineate its essence, but also a privileging of the masculine over the feminine and heteronormative relations over alternatives. By engaging with psychoanalytic theory, phenomenology, feminist and gender theory, and the new materialisms, Gavin Rae shows how this model came under sustained and heterogeneous attack in the twentieth century. Rather than affirm one of these critical trajectories, Rae rethinks the problematic by turning to Walter Benjamin’s notion of concepts as constellations to develop an alternative model called sexuality as constellation.

The Loss of HMS Hood


In 1941, the battlecruiser HMS Hood – at 860 feet long, with a beam of 105 feet, a displacement of 48,360 tons (fully loaded), and a maximum speed of 32 knots – was Britain’s largest and fastest warship. And yet on 24 May, HMS Hood, the epitome of British naval power, with an armament which included eight 15-inch guns, was blown up a mere eight minutes after engaging the German battleship KMS Bismarck and her consort, the heavy cruiser KMS Prinz Eugen. As HMS Hood sank into the icy depths of the Atlantic Ocean on 24 May 1941, she took with her the lives of 1,415 brave men – there were only 3 survivors - and a secret that has haunted the maritime world ever since. How could this possibly have happened? HMS Hood had seemed invincible, and the hopes of the British Navy in wartime had rested upon her great reputation. Her tragic demise was greeted with disbelief by the nation, and the shock waves reverberated all around the world. Various theories have been put forward to account for her sinking, none of them entirely satisfactory. Here, these theories are reappraised in the light of the discovery of the wreckage of HMS Hood in 2001. Furthermore, a new and intriguing theory is proposed.

British Millennials in Global Mission


Based on research into British Millennials’ involvement in international Christian missions, this book asks why – given the trends in faith in the UK – are some still choosing to become missionaries? in British Millennials in Global Mission, Alison Allen explores how Millennial missionaries merge aspects of the evangelical Christian metanarrative with what they find in the wider British cultural discourse, discussing also their understanding and practice of “mission” and the extent to which these differ from previous generations. Harnessing the tension between these differing narratives, Millennial missionaries combine the Millennial interest in the concept of authenticity with self-exploration which aims at discovering and becoming who God made them to be, rather than who they feel they should be. This book outlines the characteristics often attributed to the Millennial generation and discusses how accurate these appear to be, and considers what we can learn from studying generations in this way.

Raiders along the Anglo-Scottish Border


Like Gomorrah with horses – that’s probably the best way to describe the stories of those inhabiting the heather-clad hills between England and Scotland who were strung up on gallows during the turbulent period of the border reivers and after, when King James I/VI attempted to ‘Pacify the Border’. The condemned here were cattle rustlers, counterfeiters, burglars, protection racketeers, thieves and murderers who rode in family-based gangs, terrorised the countryside on both sides of the dividing line, and were essentially the mafia of their time. They were executed in places such as Edinburgh, Dumfries, Jedburgh, Hawick, Peebles, Selkirk, Berwick, Morpeth, Alnwick, Newcastle, Hexham and Carlisle in a period marked by conflict between the two great nations where their land became a warzone. Anyone interested in the darker side of the history of the bloodstained border can trace the lineage of those families embroiled in criminal society from the Scottish Wars of Independence right through to the Acts of Union between the countries in 1707. The March Laws that the border reivers lived under were finally ended in 1603 when King James ascended to the English throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth I – and the ‘pacification’ of the criminal gangs began.

With the Commandos


On 4 September 1944, Allied forces and local resistance fighters captured the Belgian port of Antwerp, the largest harbour in Europe. Once opened to Allied shipping, the port would revolutionise the Allies’ delivery of supplies into mainland Europe, stores which were still having to make the long overland journey from Normandy and places such as Cherbourg. But to enable this to happen, the Scheldt Estuary and, more importantly, the island of Walcheren also needed to cleared of Hitler’s forces. The task of storming and liberating the heavily defended island of Walcheren was handed to the men of the Commandos. Under Operation Infatuate, the plan was to land Commandos at Westkapelle and Flushing, and have the Canadians push across the Walcheren Causeway. Launched on 1 November 1944, Operation Infatuate was the last and one of costliest Combined Operations attacks of the Second World War in Europe. Such was the bitter nature of the fighting, in one sector alone, out of twenty-eight landing craft deployed, only five survived touchdown. Despite the Allies’ victory, the fighting was far from over for the Commandos. Indeed, a number of them were rushed to help fill the lines during Hitler’s Ardennes offensive – the Battle of the Bulge. Despite the urgency of such a move, many of the Commandos felt they were wasted undertaking what they considered to be an infantry task, and should have reverted back to their original raiding role. In fact, the 4th Commando Brigade did find itself on the River Maas line until the end of the war in Europe, while the 1st Commando Brigade was called upon to lead the advance across a number of major rivers into the very heart of Germany. Starting with the mighty Rhine, the Brigade used its specialist amphibious skills as assault troops before advancing on across the Weser, Aller, and Elbe rivers, all of which was only achieved after much hard fighting. With the Commandos tells a story which has been largely forgotten, namely that of the Commandos’ role in the last few months of the war in Europe. It was a period when, following D-Day and the Normandy landings and subsequent breakout, these men battled their way into the heart of Third Reich fighting against a fanatical foe.

Democratic Drain


Democratic Drain links two of the most compelling topics of our time: immigration and democracy. With a blend of in-depth interviews and data analysis across 149 countries, Justin Gest explores how global migration filters people with liberal democratic values out of authoritarian spaces, enabling democratic backsliding around the world. At a global scale, the correlation between migratory choices and political values introduces a new reason why authoritarian countries may have struggled to democratize in the decades since the end of the Cold War – a period when flows of international migrants have grown so significantly, populism has spread, and authoritarians' resolve has steadily hardened. At a time when the world is increasingly sorting into democratic and undemocratic spaces, Gest's timely and innovative analysis raises important political and policy questions about how democracies might compensate for the inadvertent effects of global human mobility.

Naval Warfare under the Byzantine Empire


While the armies of the Roman Empire, including its late 'Byzantine' phase, have been copiously studied, naval warfare of the period has been neglected. In part this is due to relative paucity of the available sources but Augustine H Kobayashi demonstrates that this does not imply a lack of maritime activity in this period; in fact quite the opposite is true. This compelling book delves into the profound significance of naval and maritime power in shaping the destinies of ancient empires, with a particular focus on the Empire of the Romans in the East. This 'Byzantine Empire', thrived remarkably for centuries—its longevity attributed to its formidable sea power. The imperial fleet played crucial roles in the Empire’s reconquest of the West by Justinian I, its struggles against the Muslim Arabs, (which turned the Mediterranean into a naval war zone,) as well as its resurgence in the tenth and eleventh centuries. The Age of Crusade was also about the changing balance of power at sea at the expense of the Byzantine Empire, which signalled the rise of the Latin West. The main narrative vividly explores the empire’s pivotal history from its zenith in the sixth century, a time when the remnants of the Roman Empire aspired to restore its former glory, to its demise at the hands of the Westerners in the early thirteenth century. The Byzantine navy not only provided critical logistical support to its armies but also facilitated the reclamation of lost territories and the triumph over formidable adversaries.

Merleau-Ponty and the Essence of Nature


Taylor Knight reveals the way in which phenomenology initiates a return to ontology construed through a dialectical relationship between being and element. Within phenomenology’s return to the elemental, Merleau-Ponty’s late philosophy is a key locus, opening critical paths forward into an ontology for the ecological age. With reference to his phenomenological forebears - Heidegger, Husserl, Levinas - his non-phenomenological influences - Bachelard, Schelling, Freud - and his dialogue with Greek thought - Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle – Knight shows what is authentically new in Merleau-Ponty’s late ontology.
