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.
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.
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.
S jakými problémy nejčastěji přichází lidé do psychoterapie?
Co se děje za zavřenými dveřmi psychoterapeutky?
Jak si mohou lidé pomoci sami, pokud do psychoterapie vstoupit nechtějí?

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.
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.
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).

Název v angličtině: Education and Turning Points in Society
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.
A-Z of Weymouth and Portland
Weymouth Harbour was historically a major port, flanked by the two towns of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis. These settlements form modern-day Weymouth, with a wealth of historical associations from the Middle Ages to the present. The Isle of Portland lies to the south, joined to Weymouth by the geological miracle of Chesil Beach, with Portland Harbour forming one of the largest man-made harbours in the world and the local quarried stone has been sought after for buildings throughout the world for centuries. The area is a popular tourist destination today but Weymouth was first developed as a resort by King George III but its military associations include a Royal Navy base and the embarkation point for thousands of Allied troops for the D-Day invasion in the Second World War.In A-Z of Weymouth and Portland author Michael Burgess reveals the history behind the Weymouth and Portland area, its buildings and landscape, industries and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous historical connections, he includes some unusual characters, tucked away places and unique events that are less well-known. Readers will discover a Civil War cannonball still embedded in the wall above a public toilet, the quayside where the Black Death is believed to have entered England and a memorial to Australian and New Zealand soldiers returning from Gallipoli among many other fascinating facts in this A-Z tour of Weymouth and Portland’s history. It is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this fascinating corner of Dorset.
Bexhill-on-Sea Through Time
Bexhill-on-Sea, often simply called Bexhill, is a seaside resort located on the south coast of England, in East Sussex. The town was transformed by the arrival of the railways in the mid-nineteenth century. Once a haunt of smugglers, Bexhill became popular, attracting many to live by the sea or visit the town. The 7th Earl De La Warr developed Bexhill as a fashionable resort, building new streets and grand houses and hotels and later generations continued this work, most famously with the 1930s’ De La Warr Pavilion. Today, the town retains a quiet and dignified appeal for its many visitors and residents.In spite of the many changes that have occurred in Bexhill-on-Sea, the town has retained its identity, with historical buildings alongside the new. This fascinating selection of old and new images of Bexhill-on-Sea will be essential reading for all those who know the area.
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.
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.
Nobility and Fortune
Noble Fortunes is the story of how, between 899 and 975, England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom. It is the story of the unification of a nation. It is also the story of a royal family, with a shadowy patriarch and a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and a deeply unprincipled archbishop. It is a story of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds.Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse.
Cranogwen in Victorian Wales
During an age of extreme gender polarisation when women were confined to the domestic sphere, Sarah Jane Rees (1839–1916) from Llangrannog, better known by her bardic name Cranogwen, won high esteem as a poet, lecturer, journal editor, preacher and temperance campaigner. She also succeeded in her aim of inspiring other Welsh women to overcome class and gender barriers and enter the public sphere, and was hailed as a pioneering forerunner of the ‘New Woman’. This biographical volume follows her through the various stages of her career from early years as a sailor, showing how an underprivileged woman succeeded in winning such influential renown. New light is also thrown on her homosexual love life, and her progressive views on gender – ‘gender difference is nothing’, she proclaimed in 1888. The Welsh-language version of this volume, entitled Cranogwen, won the Wales Book of the Year award for creative non-fiction in 2024.
Always Under Siege
Always Under Siege presents a remarkable and harrowing account of life in dark times that describes and embodies strategies of physical and moral survival. Irina Paperno brings to light the autobiographical chronicle (her "notes") of Olga Freidenberg (1890–1955), a pioneering Russian philologist and cultural theorist (and cousin of Boris Pasternak), who endured Stalin's purges, the Leningrad blockade during World War II, and the suffocating repression that followed. Using concepts of scholarship to understand what was happening to her and around her, Freidenberg transformed daily ordeal into what Paperno calls a "diary-theory," not just a record of events but a reflection on how power invades home, body, and mind. Analyzing Freidenberg's personal writings, kept hidden for decades, Paperno shows how she used myth, metaphor, and ethnographic description to interpret the everyday terror of life under Stalin. Comparing Freidenberg's ideas, developed in isolation, with those of contemporaries like Hannah Arendt, who witnessed Hitler's rise, Paperno identifies in Freidenberg's "notes" a compelling theory of totalitarian oppression. Presenting a singular testament of resilience, despair, and stubborn creative intellect, Paperno's book shows what it means to live and to think in a state of siege.
A History of Bus Operators in Preston
The earliest recorded operators of buses in Preston were pioneers who provided services from nearby surrounding villages in the 1910s. The local town services were initially provided by the Corporation’s tramway system with buses only being introduced in 1922. From 1919, Ribble Motor Services gradually became the dominant operator connecting the town to the rest of Lancashire and beyond. Other significant operators were J. Fishwick & Sons, Scout Motors and Viking Motors.The various out-of-town operators established their own bus stations in the town centre while the Corporation bus services used on-street stands. This situation prevailed until 1969 when a new central bus station was opened in the centre and all bus services were transferred accordingly.This book also details special services such as football and works buses and holiday traffic, which used to snake along the Arterial Road (Blackpool Road) in the postwar boom years carrying holidaymakers to the Fylde coast in their tens-of-thousands. The once-every-twenty-years Preston Guild and its impact on local services over the years is not without mention.Mike Rhodes documents the bus operators who have served Preston with many rare and unpublished photographs and informative captions.
