Němečtí tankisté
Německá Panzerwaffe rozcupovala na kusy pravidla vedení války, která nastolily krvavé boje v zákopech první světové války. Obrněná vozidla, letecká podpora a talentovaní velitelé zasadili citelné rány většině evropských armád.
Panzery významně přispěly k úspěšným tažením Hitlerových vojsk v prvních letech konfliktu a zůstaly neochvějné i v obraně až do posledních dní třetí říše. Opotřebení vlastních strojů a převaha nepřítele sice omezovaly ofenzivní možnosti tanku s trámovými kříži na korbách či věžích, ale díky stále silnějším zbraním zpevňovaly hroutící se obranu až do května 1945.
Za těmito úspěchy stály nejen vyspělé typy tanků, ale také profesionalita jejich osádek. Sebelepší zbraň je jen tak dobrá, jak dobří jsou ti, kdo ji ovládají, a příslušníci Panzerwaffe – od nejvyššího velení až po jednotlivé tankisty – prokázali, že ji umí používat velmi dobře.
Titul z edice Casemate Illustrated nabízí ucelený vhled do organizace, výzbroje a bojových úkolů osádek německých panzerů.
Nová překladová edice Casemate Illustrated se věnuje klíčovým prvkům vojenské historie. Je bohatě ilustrovaná fotografiemi, mapami a barevnými profily tanků, letadel a další techniky, přičemž každý svazek přináší množství vizuálních detailů. Profily klíčových osobností a jednotek, časová osa a vysvětlující textové rámečky podporují vyprávění, které poskytuje přehledný obraz bitvy či tažení a přibližuje zkušenosti zúčastněných sil.

Mexico: A History
This sweeping new history of Mexico spans 500 dramatic years of conquest, innovation and revolution
'Magisterial... This fine account does well to remind that the best history is about fact, not fiction' - Peter Frankopan, The Telegraph
It begins in 1511 with the shipwreck of two Spanish sailors in Yucatán. Only ten years later, an army of European adventurers and indigenous rebels seized the island city of Tenochtitlán, seat of one of the world's great empires. It would become Mexico City, and marked the collision of two radically different worlds. Spaniards discovered tomatoes, chocolate and the most sophisticated city they had ever seen. For Mexicans the encounter brought horses, wheels, but also lethal germs - sparking a cataclysmic century of disease that would kill a majority of the indigenous population.
Paul Gillingham's superb history chronicles how this convulsion led to a startling recombination of cultures. He shows how the industrial mining of Mexico's silver transformed the wealth and trade of the world, making it the centre of the first truly global economy. We then see how independence from Spain went on to bring calamitous wars with the United States and France. One of the world's great social revolutions then remade Mexico and ushered in a one-party state that, whatever its shortcomings, brought peace throughout many of the global horrors of the twentieth century - before the country collapsed into violence in the drug wars of the 2000s.
Mexico: A History uses the latest research to dazzling effect, showing how often Mexico has been one of the world's great innovators; a dynamic and vital shaper of world affairs.
Moral AI
A balanced and thought-provoking guide to all the big questions about AI and ethics
Can computers understand morality? Can they respect privacy? And what can we do to make AI safe and fair?
The artificial intelligence revolution has begun. Today, there are self-driving cars on our streets, autonomous weapons in our armies, robot surgeons in our hospitals - and AI's presence in our lives will only increase. Some see this as the dawn of a new era in innovation and ease; others are alarmed by its destructive potential. But one thing is clear: this is a technology like no other, one that raises profound questions about the very definitions of human intelligence and morality.
In Moral AI, world-renowned researchers in moral psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence - Jana Schaich Borg, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Vincent Conitzer - tackle these thorny issues head-on. Writing lucidly and calmly, they lay out the recent advances in this still nascent field, peeling away the exaggeration and misleading arguments. Instead, they offer clear examinations of the moral concerns at the heart of AI programs, from racial equity to personal privacy, fake news to autonomous weaponry. Ultimately, they argue that artificial intelligence can be built and used safely and ethically, but that its potential cannot be achieved without careful reflection on the values we wish to imbue it with. This is an essential primer for any thinking person.

How to Think Like an Economist
Capturing the essence of history's most influential economists in enjoyable and illuminating biographical sketches, this book shows how the great economic thinkers are still relevant today.
We live in the economy - and we are part of it. Living through a pandemic, governments had to work out how to put economies into a deep freeze without destroying them. Avoiding climate catastrophe means changing economies so that they don't bake the world.
In explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge problems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotle's ideas about restraining consumption, Adam Smith's thinking about the importance of moral character for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo's ongoing work to help the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It shows how the greatest economic thinkers - Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, among many others - have enabled us to see the world differently, and how we can make it better.
It shows that economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists - and that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should understand these vital ideas.
Along the way, the book quietly subverts what you think you know about economics, especially by showing how women found a place in the development of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.
The Seven Rules of Trust
Trust: like water, like electricity, our society can't function without it. It's a treasure, a living thing that can be cultivated and grown. But it can also wither and die, and it is increasingly under threat.
From neighbourhoods to nations, we must get serious about trust and act before this precious resource runs out entirely.
When Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia more than two decades ago, he changed the landscape of knowledge forever - although almost no one realised it at the time. Today, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times every month in the English language alone. But in our 'post-truth' era, where the internet is a sea of disinformation and facts are increasingly malleable, Wales reminds us that it's more important than ever to return to the problem at the heart of it all: that without trust, we have no knowledge. And without knowledge, we can't fight back.
Derived from decades of observation, participation and discussion with leaders across the world, these are his clear, actionable rules for building trust in business, leadership and life. The Seven Rules of Trust reveals the fundamental principles that transformed a website which was once regarded as a highly dubious source of information to a universally trusted source for facts.
This book will help you become a trust-maker. To build deeper connections with others so you can be a better neighbour, a more understanding friend, even someone who can turn back the tide and inspire others to follow you. If you want to strengthen your relationships or simply bring more happiness and fulfilment into your life, then this is where to start.
Legenda
From the bestselling author of FEMINA, a brilliant reappraisal of the medieval women whose lives have been exploited over centuries for political, nation-building ends.
In LEGENDA, bestselling historian Professor Janina Ramirez peels back the layers of time to reveal how the lives of women have been co-opted by those intent on crafting national identities. Their names are well known, and summaries of their achievements have been recited in classrooms for decades, but medieval women like Joan of Arc, Lady Godiva and Isabella of Castile have been misrepresented, their stories twisted and weaponised. Meanwhile, ground-breaking 18th- and 19th-century women who blazed a trail through revolutionary Europe have been forgotten, their legacies too easily dismissed or ignored.
Questioning established narratives and searching for the real women behind the legends, Ramirez interrogates what defines a nation and who gets to build it, shining a light on how history is so often hijacked to serve the ideological and political interests of the present.

Sedm svátostí v sedmi příbězích
Kniha psaná s porozuměním pro dětskou duši pomůže dětem přemýšlet o svátostech trochu jinak – hravě, ale přesto s vážností. Sedm svátostí se snaží přiblížit nikoliv pohledem teologa nebo kněze, ale prostřednictvím sedmi milých i dobrodružných příběhů.
Čtenáře pobízí k tomu, aby svátosti nevnímali jen jako nutné církevní povinnosti, ale aby v nich viděli spíše pozvání Boha k proměně jejich života v jedinečný příběh, ve kterém budou odvážně stát na straně dobra, lásky a spravedlnosti.
Navazující krátká zamyšlení otevírají i některé složitější náboženské otázky a témata k úvaze. Děti v nich najdou povzbuzení, aby ve svátostech nehledaly jen připomínku své hříšnosti, ale uvědomovaly si naopak díky nim svou hodnotu, zodpovědnost, ale také to, že na své starosti nejsou nikdy úplně samy.
The Infinite Alphabet
The celebrated scientist and author of Why Information Grows reveals how knowledge moves, drives progress and shapes the world
We all understand that knowledge shapes the fate of business and the growth of nations, but few of us are aware of the principles that govern its movement. In The Infinite Alphabet César A. Hidalgo, world-renowned for his work on economic complexity, unravels the laws describing the growth and diffusion of knowledge. To understand it, he shows, we must accept that it is not a single thing, but an ever-growing tapestry of unique ideas, experiences and received wisdom: an infinite alphabet that we are only beginning to fathom.
Hidalgo walks you through the 'three laws' that predict how knowledge grows, moves, and decays. Through dozens of stories, he takes the reader from a failed attempt to build a city of knowledge in Ecuador to the growth of China's innovation economy, explaining why aircraft manufacturers in Italy began manufacturing scooters after the Second World War and how migrants like Samuel Slater shaped the industrial fabric of the United States.
By the end of this journey, you will understand everything from why knowledge grows exponentially in the electronics industry to what mechanisms allow knowledge to cross geographic borders, social networks, and professional boundaries.
These principles will teach you how knowledge shapes the world.
The Great Global Transformation
'More than anyone alive, Branko Milanovic was likely to propound a grand theory of our perplexing global moment... With brilliance, panache, and reliability, he has done it' Samuel Moyn
Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, while a new international economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake?
Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global 'middle class' in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.

A Short History of America
The global powerhouse that is the United States of America is younger even than the British Museum, Guinness and the flushing toilet. In 2026 it will celebrate its 250th birthday. How did this vast land, long inhabited by diverse indigenous cultures, come to be dominated by English speakers? How has it grappled with the stark contradictions between its ideals of liberty and the grim reality of genocide and slavery?
This extraordinary collection of fifty distinct states has weathered immense - and recent - challenges, including a Civil War that was still raging as the first London Underground station opened. How did this melting pot of peoples and ideas not only endure but rise to dominate global politics, commerce, culture and warfare? What insights does this rich history offer about an increasingly divided nation - and the world that moves to its rhythm? Is this the twilight of American supremacy, signalling a shift toward a more introspective nation?
A Short History of America is rich with vivid characters - from arrogant conquistadors and idealistic revolutionaries to imperial presidents - and presents a narrative so astonishing it often feels like fake news. This is a gripping must-read for anyone seeking to make sense of our world today.
Novelizovaný zákon o dani z finančných transakcií 17/2025
Zákon č. 279/2024 Z.z. o dani z finančných transakcií nadobudol účinnosť 1. januára 2025, no v dôsledku kotroverznosti právnej úpravy bolo znenie platné pre rok 2025 koncom roka 2024 raz a v roku 2025 dvakrát novelizované.

The Taiwan Story
An urgent, indispensable guide to why Taiwan matters - for China, the West and everyone's future
When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao's Communists won and took China's mainland; Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities.
Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world's economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China's assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US - escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg.
The Taiwan Story helps us understand how and why we've arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan's political leaders and a deep understanding of the island's history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. This is the essential book delving into Taiwan's unique story, buried beneath the headlines, told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.
