The Evolution of Western Thought: Volume 1, From the Ancient World to Late Antiquity
A rich and immersive reinterpretation of the history of Western thought, this volume – the first in a major trilogy – explores the transmission and development of philosophical ideas from Plato and Aristotle to Jesus, Paul, Augustine and Gregory the Great. Christopher Celenza recalibrates philosophy's story not as abstract argumentation but rather as lived practice: one aimed at excavating wisdom and shaping life. Emphasizing the importance of textual tradition and elucidation across diverse contexts, the author shows how philosophical and religious ideas were transformed and readjusted over time. By focusing on the centrality of Christianity to Western thought, he reveals how ancient ideas were alchemized within religious frameworks, and how – across the centuries – ethical and intellectual traditions intersected to shape culture, memory, and the pursuit of sagacity. Ever attentive to ongoing conversations between past and present, this expansive intellectual history brings perspectives to the subject that are both nuanced and fresh.
18 Minutes
The most important business/self-help book since EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE and THE ONE-MINUTE MANAGER.
How often do you get to the end of another long and frantic day and wonder why so many important things didn't get finished? We've never worked so hard and felt so unproductive and unfulfilled. 18 MINUTES takes this challenge and turns it on its head.
Peter Bregman, top HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW columnist and global management consultant, shatters the myth of getting it all done by offering a clear and simple plan for getting the right things done. He shows how the best way to fight distracting interruptions is to create productive ones ourselves, a practice that can be easily implemented in 18 minutes a day. The result is a simple yet comprehensive approach to managing your life a year, a day, and a moment at a time so that your life moves forward the way you want and at the pace you want.
Broken Cycle
Why is the Liberal International Order unraveling – and will this lead to global disorder? Broken Cycle explores this urgent question by viewing international politics through a dynamic lens focused on the rise and fall of great powers – whose periodic global wars determine who rules and which ideas and values prevail in the reordered international system. Randall L. Schweller uncovers recurring patterns of change, offering a framework to anticipate the contours of the emerging world. Rather than tracking short-term diplomatic shifts, this book seeks the deeper rhythms of history – cycles of growth, expansion, and decline – that shape international politics over centuries. These patterns are not inevitable, but they are powerful. By understanding them, we gain insight into the forces driving today's dissent – and tomorrow's possibilities. This is a study of the structural forces that govern change, the crises that break the old order, and the ideas that rise in its place.
A Concise History of New Zealand Aotearoa
New Zealand was the last major landmass, other than Antarctica, to be settled by humans. In A Concise History of New Zealand Aotearoa, Philippa Mein Smith beautifully narrates the story of this rugged and dynamic land, from its origins in Gondwana, between 60 and 100 million years ago, its late settlement by Polynesian voyagers, and its colonisation by Europeans (and the exchanges that made these peoples Maori and Pakeha) to the dramatic struggles over land and efforts to manage global forces into the twenty-first century. The third edition continues to unravel key moments in distant and recent history – the signing and continuation of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), the Gallipoli landings, the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, and earthquakes – showing their roles in nation-building myths and connecting them with the less dramatic forces, economic and social, that have shaped contemporary New Zealand.

Imperfect Equilibrium
Why has Russia’s military struggled to adapt to the challenges of contemporary warfare? Despite years of attempts to improve its military capabilities, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 revealed a crippling lack of skill, discipline and equipment. Non-material factors, in particular the power struggle between military and civilian leaderships, have hindered reform of its armed forces: with officers dominating defence policy, the Kremlin has struggled to implement the necessary changes. Kirill Shamiev explores the political reasons behind Russia’s poor military preparedness for the war in Ukraine. He demonstrates how a seemingly obedient military has frequently blocked civilian reforms, taking advantage of weak oversight mechanisms. The Kremlin’s efforts to centralise control and make the armed forces personally accountable to President Vladimir Putin harmed institutional learning, cementing a conservative civil–military status quo. While this protected the military from civil society interference and ensured Putin’s autocratic rule, it ultimately limited the pace and scope of change. Analysing three cases of reform between 2000 and 2021, Imperfect Equilibrium offers critical insights into the relationship between civilian control and military effectiveness in Russia. Drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative evidence—including interviews, parliamentary speeches, media reports and surveys—it shows how unchecked autonomy can undermine military development, even in authoritarian contexts.
How to Feel Loved
A globally renowned happiness scientist and a top relationship researcher draw on the science of happiness, love and human connection to offer a powerful framework for feeling truly appreciated and fulfilled. ‘There aren't two scientists in the world I trust more to deliver research-backed, actionable recommendations on how to improve your relationships.’ ANGELA DUCKWORTH, bestselling author of Grit'This book might change your life. ' ARTHUR C. BROOKS, bestselling author of The Happiness Files-----------Many people believe that if they behave the right way, say the right things, or make themselves more lovable, they will feel more loved. But this kind of reflexive thinking is fundamentally misguided, causing a disconnect that can lead to loneliness, depression and self-doubt. Sonja Lyubomirsky, the world’s preeminent expert on happiness, and Harry Reis, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships and connection, have studied the complexities of well-being and love in depth. In How to Feel Loved they present a radical, hopeful, and science-backed shift in how to think about love. They reveal that feeling loved isn’t about making ourselves more appealing — it’s about showing our full and vulnerable selves to others and encouraging our loved ones to do the same. They introduce five powerful mindsets to help us feel the love we crave:A Sharing mindset — showing our vulnerabilities and inner world, not just the polished partsA Listening-to-Learn mindset — making space to truly tune in to another, not just to take turns speakingA Radical Curiosity mindset — being genuinely interested in another and asking better questionsAn Open-Heart mindset — being kind and affirming to another for who they truly areA Multiplicity mindset — embracing the messy complexity in all of usThese mindset shifts give shape to a dynamic back-and-forth process the authors call the Relationship See-Saw, which will help readers remake their conversations in ways that enable them to deeply know those they love and become deeply known by them. It isn’t enough to be loved. To be truly fulfilled, we must feel loved. This book shows us how. -----------More praise for How to Feel Loved'A gift to anyone who wants to live with more joy and connection.' DAN BUETTNER, bestselling author of The Blue Zones'This is the book we’ve been waiting for! Lyubomirsky and Reis marry the best happiness science with the best relationship science to identify the five mindsets for building a life filled with love.' ELI J. FINKEL, bestselling author of The All-Or-Nothing Marriage
The Technological Republic
The Sunday Times and #1 New York Times Bestseller‘The Technological Republic is far too important to ignore’ Times Literary SupplementSilicon Valley’s brightest minds once collaborated with governments to advance technologies, securing the West’s dominance on the global stage.

Zamiska offer a searing critique of our collective culture of complacency.

Skryté formy manipulace
Jak se jim bránit a využít ve svůj prospěch
Neuvěřitelně podrobná publikace o tom, jak se lidé mohou navzájem ovlivňovat a jak mezi nimi může probíhat manipulace. Autor přitom rozlišuje několik typů manipulace: hrubou a jemnou; a dále manipulaci, která je sobecky motivovaná. Jiný typ manipulace představují pozitivní pokusy druhého nenápadně ovlivňovat, třeba při překonávání jeho lenosti či konkrétních zlozvyků, v pracovním výkonu a dalších důležitých životních návycích. Cílem knihy je ukázat, jak hluboce do moderního života proniklo skryté ovlivňování a manipulace, a zároveň předložit řadu konkrétních způsobů, jak se této hrozbě bránit. Text umí poskytnout četné návody na to, jak přimět lidi udělat to, co chceme (v rodině, v práci, přátelství; například aby za nás někdo něco udělal, půjčil nám peníze a podobně). Naučíte se poznávat, jaký typ je určitý člověk, a podle toho s ním jednat a působit na něho. Najdete zde tipy, jak zapracovat na vlastní přitažlivosti, neboť dobrý manipulátor musí mít rovněž určité vlastnosti. Text je velmi čtivě psaný a velmi přehledně členěný. Veškerá vysvětlení, popisy jednotlivých forem komunikace a chování i nejrůznějších faktorů, jež hrají při manipulaci roli, ilustrují příklady ze života i anekdoty, které vás často pobaví.

Make Time
Čas strácame iba vtedy, keď ho trávime nevedome
Aj vy môžete prestať s pasívnym reagovaním na požiadavky moderného sveta a začať si zámerne robiť čas na veci, na ktorých záleží!
Zamýšľali ste sa už niekedy nad tým, ako trávite svoj život? Určite ste sa nikdy nezobudili do nového dňa s myšlienkou: „Najlepší spôsob, ako prežiť dnešok, je zaplniť ho mítingmi!“ alebo si neplánovali, že v práci premárnite čas na sociálnych sieťach. Presne to však všetci robíme. Prečo? Vo svete, kde sa na nás valí nekonečný prúd informácií a pracovný deň sa javí ako preteky, kto rýchlejšie zareaguje na priority iných ľudí, sa stala naším predvoleným nastavením zmätenosť a roztržitosť. No čo keby vyčerpanie z ustavičnej zaneprázdnenosti nebolo povinné? Čo keby ste mohli prestať behať ako škrečok v kolotoči a získať moc nad svojím časom a pozornosťou? Autori, nadšenci tvorivého využívania času a pôvodcovia konceptu Make Time, pre vás vytvorili knihu, ktorá srší entuziazmom z vytvárania priestoru na to podstatné. Zábavným a kreatívnym spôsobom vám ukážu, že robiť si čas neznamená radikálne zmeniť životný štýl; je to skôr o malých zmenách v prostredí a každodenných návykoch, vďaka ktorým sa oslobodíte od ustavičnej zaneprázdnenosti a rozptýlenosti.
On What Matters
On What Matters is a major work in moral philosophy. It is the long-awaited follow-up to Derek Parfit''s 1984 book Reasons and Persons, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century philosophy. Parfit now presents a powerful new treatment of reasons, rationality, and normativity, and a critical examination of three systematic moral theories - Kant''s ethics, contractualism, and consequentialism - leading to his own ground-breaking synthetic conclusion. Along the way he discusses a wide range of moral issues, such as the significance of consent, treating people as a means rather than an end, and free will and responsibility. On What Matters is already the most-discussed work in moral philosophy: its publication is likely to establish it as a modern classic which everyone working on moral philosophy will have to read, and which many others will turn to for stimulation and illumination.
Údolí vidění
Víme, že puritáni byli lidé, kteří milovali Boha, měli hluboké porozumění Božímu slovu, kladli velký důraz na posvěcení a měli hlubokou touhu sloužit Bohu celým svým životem.
Jak vzácné jsou tedy modlitby těch, kteří se snažili z Boží milosti a ze všech sil žít svůj křesťanský život k Boží slávě. Chceme tyto hluboké a nádherné modlitby přinést křesťanům v naší zemi, aby mohli mít veliký duchovní užitek, když uvidí silnou a k pokoře vedoucí víru puritánů, aby byli povzbuzeni k modlitbě a k prohlubování své znalosti Bible.
A földrajz fogságában
Az elmúlt 10 év eseményeit összegző új kiadás
"A geopolitika minden országot érint."
Párizsi klímaegyezmény, Iszlám Állam, ukrajnai háború - kifejezések, amelyekkel nap mint nap találkozunk a hírekben. De vajon tudjuk-e, mit jelentenek? Tim Marshall brit újságíró segít eligazodni a naponta ránk zúduló információáradatban, miközben ráirányítja a figyelmünket a geopolitika fontosságára. A politikusok mozgásterét mindig korlátozták országuk földrajzi adottságai: a hegyek, a folyók, az éghajlat, a tengerek, a sivatagok. A szerző tíz fejezetben térképek segítségével mutatja be többek között Oroszország, Kína, az Egyesült Államok, Latin-Amerika, a Közel-Kelet és Európa múltját, jelenét, és kitekintést ad a jövőbe is.
Miért megszállottja Putyin Ukrajnának? Miért fenyeget konfliktus Kína és az Egyesült Államok között? Miért vannak zavargások a Közel-Keleten? A földrajz fogságában legújabb kiadásában Tim Marshall közérthetően összegzi az elmúlt évtized eseményeit, és kiemeli: a nagyhatalmi törekvések, szövetségek és háborúk hátterében gyakran ugyanaz a meghatározó tényező áll - a földrajz.
Separation of Powers
From the winner of the Holberg Prize and New York Times bestselling author of The World According to Star Wars. All over the world, people are questioning the separation of powers. They want a strong man, able to do what must be done. But James Madison was right to say this: 'The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.' In this essential and immensely timely book, Separation of Powers, Cass Sunstein explains why the separation of powers is necessary for both freedom and self-government. He shows that freedom from fear is a central goal of the system of separation of powers. He also explains why the executive branch is the most dangerous branch, why the idea of presidential immunity is a terrible one, and why an independent judiciary is crucial. Drawing on his extensive experience in the White House, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security, the author also argues that the separation of powers is, in fact, six separations of powers: (1) The legislature may not exercise the executive power. (2) The legislature may not exercise the judicial power. (3) The executive may not exercise the legislative power. (4) The executive may not exercise the judicial power. (5) The judiciary may not exercise the legislative power. (6) The judiciary may not exercise the executive power. Each of these is essential to liberty under law.
You Always Belong
Is your child striving for perfection or seeking the approval of others? You Always Belong, inspired by the bestselling nonfiction book People Pleaser, is a beautiful book that helps children understand their worth isn’t based on pleasing others or being perfect. Written by New York Times bestselling author Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo, this book gently explores how God loves us unconditionally, how we always belong in his love, and how it’s OK to have boundaries and even to say no sometimes. Perfect for children ages 4 and up, You Always Belong encourages kids to ask, “Who am I?” and find their true worth and purpose in being a beloved child of God. Through engaging storytelling, your child will learn:God’s unconditional love. That their worth comes from being his child, not from their performance. How to break the cycle of habits, mindsets, and peer pressure that self-sabotage. The importance of obedience, self-discipline, and character-building, while understanding these are expressions of kindness and love.
American Struggle
In a polarized era, history can become a subject of political contention. Many see America as perfect; many others argue that the national experiment is fundamentally flawed. The truth, Meacham shows, likely lies between these extremes. America has had shining hours, and also dark ones.
In American Struggle, Jon Meacham illuminates the nation’s complicated past. This rich and diverse collection covers a wide spectrum of history, from 1619 to the twenty-first century, with primary-source documents that take us back to critical moments in which Americans fought over the meaning and the direction of the national experiment. From the founders to Lincoln to Obama, from Andrew Jackson to Theodore Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan, from Seneca Falls to the March on Washington, this chorus—sometimes discordant and always fascinating—tells the story of the country and of its people. As clashes over liberty and slavery, inclusion and exclusion, play out, these voices, brilliantly framed by Meacham’s singular commentary, remind us that contentious citizenship and fair-minded observations are essential to bringing about the more perfect union envisioned in the Preamble to the Constitution, which Frederick Douglass called a “glorious liberty document.”
Conflict is nothing new in our democracy; rather, as Meacham and these texts show, tensions are inherent, stubborn, and perennial. And American Struggle teaches us anew that to know what has come before, to watch as long-running disputes rise and fall, is to be armed against despair.

Climate Justice
The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of and what it means. If you're injuring someone, you should stop and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how 'choice engines,' informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the 'social cost of carbon,' the most important number in climate change debates and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.
