Dazai Shundai: Writings on Political Economy
Dazai Shundai (1680–1747) is a critical figure in Japanese political thought, who developed his philosophy in response to a perceived crisis in the status of the ruling samurai class, of which he was a member. This volume introduces sections from his most significant work of political thought, Keizairoku (1729), and its addendum Keizairoku shui (1744). Extracts present Shundai's program of political and economic reform, as he grappled with the upheavals and opportunities accompanying the breakdown of feudal agrarianism and the emergence of a modern commercial economy. While Shundai accepted the inevitability of this economic transition, his vision of political economy remained conservative, with a focus on strengthening samurai-class supremacy. Peter Flueckiger offers a critical introduction to Shundai's ideas, exploring the nuances of his engagement with Confucian thought, and extensive annotations provide further textual and historical context. This volume thus demonstrates how Shundai's writings prefaced increasingly ambitious theories of state-managed economic growth in early modern and modern Japan.
Tiny Gardens Everywhere
In the heart of bustling European and American cities lies an overlooked yet vibrant corner of resilience, ingenuity and magic: our gardens.
From pre-industrial England to modern-day Ohio, via the Paris Commune, Barackia in pre-war Berlin, Soviet allotments in Estonia, the orchards tended by Black migrants in Washington and food forests in contemporary Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other and with nature, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Over the past three hundred years, these tiny gardens, often born from necessity and shaped by precarity, immigration and environmental crisis, have thrived by recycling nutrients, remedying contaminated soil and transforming how we think about our relationship to the earth.
Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a hymn to the most fertile agriculture in recorded human history, showing that it occurred not on farms - the product of gigantic exertions of fossil fuels and technology - but with little effort in small garden beds. And the resourcefulness, intuition and inherited methods of their growers accomplished many of today's sustainability goals by producing local, diverse and organic food.
Acclaimed historian Kate Brown unearths the long and battered story of gardeners and their gardens, asking what happens when these urban Edens are not seen as retreats from the city but become part of its social fabric, alive with histories of displacement, conflict and resistance. This is a book about land, but also about community, repair and the quiet revolutions that begin when someone plants a seed in unloved ground.

Come with us as we delve into the people and places behind the world-famous Tudor myths and legends.

Judaism and the Philosophy of Religion
Analytic philosophy of religion is a vibrant area of inquiry, but it has generally focused on generic forms of theism or on Christianity. David Shatz here offers a new and fresh approach to the field in a wide-ranging and engaging introduction to the analytic philosophy of religion from the perspective of Judaism. Exploring classical Jewish texts about philosophical topics in light of the concepts and arguments at the heart of analytic philosophy, he demonstrates how each tradition illuminates the other, yielding a deeper understanding of both Jewish sources and general philosophical issues. Shatz also advances growing efforts to imagine Jewish philosophy not only as an engrossing, invaluable part of Jewish intellectual history, but also as a creative, constructive enterprise that mines the methods and literature of contemporary philosophy. His book offers new pathways to think deeply about God, evil, morality, freedom, ethics, and religious diversity, among other topics.

Volá ma po mene
Boh ťa pozná. Volá ťa po mene. Zamysli sa nad tým – Boh, ktorý drží v rukách všetko, čo existuje, pozná práve teba. Má pre teba jedinečné povolanie a dal ti všetko, čo potrebuješ, aby si ho naplnil/-a. Ale ruku na srdce – ako často na to zabúdaš? Ako často žiješ v pochybnostiach, strachu a pocite, že na to nemáš? Táto kniha je pozvaním ku zmene. Sto zamyslení, ktoré ti otvoria oči pre autoritu a moc, ktorú ti Boh dal. Nie preto, aby si sa cítil/-a lepšie na chvíľu – ale aby si mohol/mohla žiť odvážne, prekonávať prekážky a stať sa tým, kým ťa Boh stvoril. Ježiš nám ukázal, ako na to. V každom slove, ktoré povedal. V každom zázraku, ktorý vykonal. V celom svojom živote nám odhalil Božie srdce, myseľ aj dušu. Je naším vzorom – nie vzdialeným ideálom, ale živou cestou, po ktorej môžeme kráčať. Tieto zamyslenia ti pomôžu: hlbšie pochopiť, aký je Boh a aký/aká si ty v jeho očiach, získať duchovnú múdrosť, ktorá ťa premieňa zvnútra, pripraviť sa na mocné vyznania, zakorenené v Božích prísľuboch. Každé vyznanie v tejto knihe je pravdivé. Je založené na Kristovom diele vykúpenia a potvrdené jeho krvou. Keď ich vyslovuješ s vierou, niečo sa deje – v tebe aj okolo teba. Zastav sa. Čítaj. Rozjímaj. A potom nahlas vyhlasuj, kým si. Pretože slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, majú moc. Slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, oslavujú Boha, a jeho slovo sa k nemu nikdy nevráti bez výsledkov, ktoré ho vyvyšujú (Iz 55, 10–11). Si pripravenýú-á objaviť, kým naozaj si?

Members Behaving Badly
*A DAILY MAIL BOOK OF THE WEEK An alternative history of Britain through the scandalous stories of 52 MPs who behaved very badly indeed…‘Funny, eye-opening and jaw-dropping.’ CHARLIE HIGSON‘[A] lively … thoroughly entertaining and novel history of the House of Commons.’ COUNTRY LIFE Over the centuries, the House of Commons has been full of MPs standing up against tyranny; remarkable people doing remarkable things for the good of all. Yet there have been just as many cheats and liars who have played games, played the markets and played the people who put their trust in them. Members Behaving Badly tells the story of our nation from 1603 to 1945 through 52 of these parliamentary villains: abusers, kidnappers and murderers, violent men doing violent deeds, often using parliament as a front and excuse. These are the MPs who made history – for all the wrong reasons. There’s rake and poet Sir Charles Sedley, whose illicit partying while sozzled and stark naked on a tavern balcony caused a sensation even in Restoration London; the stock-jobbing, flip-flopping chancellor of the Exchequer, Charles Townshend, who proposed taxes that sparked a revolution; David Lloyd George, Britain’s saviour during the First World War, but whose avarice, corruption and abuse of honours ruined his political party forever; and many more. ___‘Thoroughly entertaining… Full of the woeful and riotous tales of the many men who have disgraced the benches of Westminster.’ Jonathan Healey, author of The Blazing World‘Kilroy’s storytelling is brimming with detail, sprinkled throughout with wit and humour.’ Kate Vigurs, author of Mission France‘A riot of malfeasance and misbehaviour’ Roger Moorhouse, author of Wolfpack

Eyes and Ears
This essential primary-source reader brings together documents collected over decades of research into security agency tradecraft and Chinese Cold War-era human intelligence. Michael Schoenhals' expert translation of the texts teases out meanings from memoranda, decodes marginal notes from senior officers, and unpacks the hastily scribbled communications of covert human assets. Together, these sources trace the resilience of covert human intelligence as an institution, even when faced with revelations of major misconduct and calls for its reform. With editorial introductions providing valuable context, this collection offers an informed interpretation of the domestic recruitment and running of agents that sheds critical new light on Chinese security agencies' intelligence gathering operations and capacity building during the Cold War.

Cabo Verde and the Creole South Atlantic
The first general history of the archipelago available in English, set within a broader regional, oceanic and global tapestry.The Cabo Verde Islands are now a popular tourist destination but, guide books apart, there is little in print in English that covers their history and culture. This book offers a readable account not only of the islands’ past, but also of their place in the wider story of the South Atlantic’s Portuguese-speaking communities.First settled in the fifteenth century, the inhabitants of Cabo Verde were of diverse origins. Some came from Portugal, others arrived as slaves from mainland Africa, and a third element comprised Jewish exiles from the Iberian Peninsula. From the earliest days, the islanders developed a mixed Creole culture with its own Creole Portuguese language. They had close relations with people of the upper Guinea coast, where many of them settled, and with the Guinea islands. Meanwhile the archipelago became a hub of the Atlantic slave trade.Cabo Verde has also had a strategic importance— its history has to be seen in a global context, broader than simply that of the Portuguese imperial story. Malyn Newitt also fills a major gap in the bibliography of Atlantic history, slavery and the history of the African diaspora in the Atlantic.
Enemy of the State
For much of the twentieth century, relations between Britain and the Soviet Union were defined by mutual hostility and distrust. From the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution until the last days of the Cold War, the British establishment was greatly concerned about the threat of Soviet-inspired subversion and secretly monitored thousands of citizens because of their real or perceived links to communism, the Soviet Union, or both. Enemy of the State reveals the story of how Britain''s intelligence services watched individuals on the grounds of protecting democracy. Using phone taps, hidden microphones, mail interception and covert break-ins, this covert surveillance led them to investigate, amongst others, trade unionists, scientists, politicians, anti-nuclear protesters, and those campaigning against apartheid. The culture of secrecy permeating British institutions has meant that the extent of the activities of British security and intelligence establishments has often been unknown. Drawing on files of the British government and intelligence agencies, Oliver Price argues that whilst communism had little impact on British politics, the fear of it led to the widespread monitoring of political and protest groups in Britain. Britain was long considered a country in which so-called ''political policing'' and the surveillance of civilians was resisted. As Enemy of the State shows, the events of the twentieth century reshaped official attitudes and normalised widespread surveillance.
Kapitoly z dejín habsburskej monarchie v ranom novoveku (viacjazyčný zborník)
Habsburgovci a ich monarchia na dlhé stáročia spojili osudy obyvateľov Uhorska, českých krajín, rakúskych krajín, Chorvátska i veľkej časti Poľska. Na teritóriu monarchie vznikla jedinečná viacjazyčná a viackonfesionálna kultúra, ktorá žije dodnes v potomkoch ich vtedajších obyvateľov, v ich mentalite, každodennom správaní i kultúrnom vkuse bez toho, aby sa dokázali dohovoriť spoločným jazykom. Cieľom autorov jednotlivých príspevkov tohto zborníka bolo priblíženie kľúčových udalosti prvých storočí existencie habsburskej monarchie, geopolitického celku, ktorý sa takto v priebehu dejín nikdy nevolal. Spolu s ním sa na javisko dejín dostala aj dynastia Habsburgovcov. Habsburgovci a ich „súštátie“ zohrali v priebehu štyroch storočí významnú úlohu vo všetkých dôležitých udalostiach i procesoch vo vývine európskeho kontinentu. Ich účinkovanie je dodnes hodnotené pozitívne, negatívne i kontroverzne (napr. zastavenie osmanskej expanzie na jedneja násilnú rekapituláciu na druhom konci spektra).
Zborník obsahuje príspevky v slovenčine, češtine, maďarčine aj v nemčine.

Race on Screen
What did audiences want when it came to 'race' on screen in twentieth-century Britain? This was the question that drove producers and makers of film and television as they competed for viewers, and organisations such as the BBC and ITV developed a new field of 'audience research' to address it. Christine Grandy examines how film and television producers, censors and researchers sought to locate audience preferences when it came to presentations of 'race'. Through empire films, home movies and television classics such as Love Thy Neighbour and The Cosby Show, this study explores what was at stake for white British audiences as they consumed material featuring problematic and positive presentations of Black and south Asian people. Race on Screen further uncovers the efforts of Black and south Asian audiences to draw attention to their own roles as overlooked audiences and to name film and television content as racist.
America Latina
In a letter to his mother in 1954, a young Ernesto Guevara wrote, ''The Americas will be the theater of my adventures in a way that is much more significant than I would have believed.'' In The Awakening of Latin America we have the story of those adventures, charting Che''s evolution from an impressionable young medical student to the ''heroic guerrilla,'' assassinated in cold blood in Bolivia. Spanning seventeen years, this anthology draws on from his family''s personal archives and offers the best of Che''s writing: examples of his journalism, essays, speeches, letters, and even poems. As Che documents his early travels through Latin America, his involvement in the Guatemalan and Cuban revolutions, and his rise to international prominence under Fidel Castro, we see how his fervent commitment to social justice shaped and was shaped by the continent he called home.
Be a Good Man, Not a Nice Guy
Being “nice” is not the same as being good—and it’s costing men their confidence, relationships, and purpose. In Be a Good Man, Not a Nice Guy, author, speaker, and modern masculinity advocate Kelvin Davis challenges the outdated idea that men have to be passive, agreeable, and approval-seeking to be accepted—especially in love and life. This book is a wake-up call for men who are tired of being overlooked, misunderstood, or emotionally disconnected because they’ve been told to play it safe. Through honest storytelling, cultural insight, and actionable tools, Davis guides readers through the transformation from a “nice guy” who performs to be liked…into a good man who leads with truth, character, and emotional strength. This is not a book about being macho or dominant—it’s about being real, grounded, and responsible. Whether you’re navigating relationships, fatherhood, or personal growth, this book helps you reconnect with your core values and redefine what it means to be a man in today’s world. ?Who It’s For:Men who feel stuck in relationships where they can’t be fully themselvesReaders seeking emotional maturity and purpose-driven masculinityWomen wanting to understand the inner world of the “nice guy”Coaches, therapists, and educators guiding men through personal growt? ou’ll Learn:Why being “nice” is often a mask for fear and insecurityHow to set boundaries without guiltWhat healthy masculinity actually looks likeHow to stop people-pleasing and start self-leadingThe habits of emotionally intelligent, grounded men
