Zamysleli ste sa už niekedy nad tým, načo máte mozog? Pravdepodobne áno, ale správna odpoveď vás asi aj tak prekvapí: na to, aby hospodáril s vašou telesnou energiou. Renomovaná neurovedkyňa Lisa Feldman Barrett patrí vďaka svojmu revolučnému výskumu medzi percento najčastejšie citovaných vedcov na svete a vo svojej najnovšej publikácii poodhaľuje, ako funguje najzložitejší orgán ľudského tela. Dozviete sa, ako mozog vznikol, akú má stavbu a ako ten váš spolu s mozgami iných ľudí vytvára všetko, čo zažívate. Zistíte, že ak chcete lepšie riadiť svoj život, mali by ste zabudnúť na rozšírené mýty ako predstava o jašterom mozgu či údajný spor medzi myslením a emóciami, ba aj medzi prírodou a výchovou. Kniha Sedem a pol kapitoly o mozgu prináša najnovšie neurovedecké poznatky, ktoré oslovia mozgy nezasvätených čitateľov, ale aj vedeckých veteránov.

Panzerdivision Wiking: Konečný boj 1943 - 1945


V roce 1943 se Německo vzpamatovává z porážky u Stalingradu a v divizi Wiking probíhají velké změny. Odchází prapor finských dobrovolníků a poté i celý pluk Nordland. Felixe Steinera na postu velitele divize nahradí Herbert Otto Gille, bývalý velitel dělostřeleckého pluku. Fini jsou nahrazeni Estonci z praporu Narva, kteří se projeví jako stejně nemilosrdní bojovníci. Dva pěší pluky doplní tankový pluk, avšak po celý rok 1943 a začátek roku 1944 je k dispozici pouze jeho 1. prapor vyzbrojený tanky Panzer IV. V tomto složení prožije divize Wiking těžké ústupové boje na Ukrajině. Na březích Dněpru je posílena útočnou brigádou Wallonie, jež s ní sdílí osud jednotek obklíčených u Čerkas. Následují boje v Polsku a Maďarsku, kde se divize projeví jako skvělý bojový nástroj, ale ani to na zdrcující sovětskou přesilu nestačí a vše směřuje k nevyhnutelné porážce. #Wiking, #Zbraně SS, #Čerkasy #germánští dobrovolníci, #Kovel, #Varšava, #jarní probuzení

The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe


The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe examines how Bosnian Muslims navigated the Ottoman and Habsburg domains following the Habsburg occupation of Bosnia Herzegovina after the 1878 Berlin Congress. Prominent members of the Ottoman imperial polity, Bosnian Muslims became minority subjects of Austria-Hungary, developing a relationship with the new authorities in Vienna while transforming their interactions with Istanbul and the rest of the Muslim world. Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular explores the enduring influence of the Ottoman Empire during this period—an influence perpetuated by the efforts of the imperial state from afar, and by its former subjects in Bosnia Herzegovina negotiating their new geopolitical reality. Muslims' endeavors to maintain their prominence and shape their organizations and institutions influenced imperial considerations and policies on occupation, sovereignty, minorities, and migration.   This book introduces Ottoman archival sources and draws on Ottoman and Eastern European historiographies to reframe the study of Habsburg Bosnia Herzegovina within broader intellectual and political trends at the turn of the twentieth century. Tracing transregional connections, imperial continuities, and multilayered allegiances, The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe bridges Ottoman, Islamic, Middle Eastern, and Balkan studies. Amzi-Erdogdular tells the story of Muslims who redefined their place and influence in both empires and the modern world, and argues for the inclusion of Islamic intellectual history within the history of Bosnia Herzegovina and Eastern Europe.

Hacer Arte en la Edad de Hielo


The extraordinary phenomenon of Ice Age art endured for over 30,000 years of our prehistory. This book will show you how the art was discovered, how it was made, how we know its age and if it's genuine. But this art is much more than pictures and paint - it tells us more about our early ancestors than bones and tools ever will. Life during the Ice Age was a huge part of our human journey, and the people who lived then, by painting on cave walls and engraving their myths on animal bones, have reached out to us down the millennia with their stories and memories. It is unlikely we will ever know the meanings of the simple handprints or the animal silhouette paintings, or the ideas that were shared in great cave wall murals, but they are likely to be profound. And despite our inability to understand the messages, we can still marvel at the valuable gifts these Ice Age artists have bestowed on us.

Od trestu k terapii


Jak rozuměli odborníci v poválečné Evropě násilí? Kniha zkoumá přístupy psychiatrů a psychologů k násilnému chování a kriminalitě ve třech odlišných společnostech – v komunistickém Československu, západním Německu a Velké Británii v letech 1945–1970. Prostřednictvím rozboru soudně odborného vědění a psychiatrických posudků sleduje, jak se do hodnocení lidského chování a vymezování hranic trestní odpovědnosti promítaly válečné zkušenosti, dobová mentalita, společenské postavení či etnicita. Srovnání napříč železnou oponou odhaluje nejen rozdíly, ale i sdílené naděje vkládané do vědy jako nástroje utváření člověka a společnosti.

A New Working Class


An examination of the efforts by Black public-sector workers and their unions to fight for racial and economic justice in BaltimoreFor decades, civil rights activists fought against employment discrimination and for a greater role for African Americans in municipal decision-making. As their influence in city halls across the country increased, activists took advantage of the Great Society—and the government jobs it created on the local level—to advance their goals. A New Working Class traces efforts by Black public-sector workers and their unions to fight for racial and economic justice in Baltimore. The public sector became a critical job niche for Black workers, especially women, a largely unheralded achievement of the civil rights movement. A vocal contingent of Black public-sector workers pursued the activists' goals from their government posts and sought to increase and improve public services. They also fought for their rights as workers and won union representation. During an era often associated with deindustrialization and union decline, Black government workers and their unions were just getting started. During the 1970s and 1980s, presidents from both political parties pursued policies that imperiled these gains. Fighting funding reductions, public-sector workers and their unions defended the principle that the government has a responsibility to provide for the well-being of its residents. Federal officials justified their austerity policies, the weakening of the welfare state and strengthening of the carceral state, by criminalizing Black urban residents—including government workers and their unions. Meanwhile, workers and their unions also faced off against predominately white local officials, who responded to austerity pressures by cutting government jobs and services while simultaneously offering tax incentives to businesses and investing in low-wage, service-sector jobs. The combination of federal and local policies increased insecurity in hyper-segregated and increasingly over-policed low-income Black neighborhoods, leaving residents, particularly women, to provide themselves or do without services that public-sector workers had fought to provide.

Facing Washington's Crossing


They crossed the ocean to fight in someone else's war. They came for glory, honor, and plunder. Instead, they became America's most famous captives. In Steven Bier's groundbreaking book, Facing Washington's Crossing: The Hessians at the Battle of Trenton, old stereotypes are shattered and new information emerges. Using newly translated documents, rare hard-to-find material, and obscure nearly-forgotten sources, Facing Washington's Crossing rewrites our understanding of the Battle of Trenton. Bier maintains a gripping narrative, following the military exploits of a Hessian Brigade through six brutal battles. From their crushing victories in New York to the shocking reversal in the snow-covered village of Trenton, witness how professional European soldiers faced an enemy unlike any they had encountered. Bier offers a fresh perspective by narrating the story through Hessian eyes, presenting fascinating details: shipboard cockfights, St. Elmo's fires, how the militaristic Hessians were influenced by the peaceful philosopher Voltaire, when the Royal Navy accidentally landed the Hessians on a deserted island, and how Emanuel Leutze's iconic painting of Washington crossing the Delaware was created in a tavern. The author traces the Hessian Prince's decision to hire out his army, the army’s harrowing voyage across the Atlantic, and the numerous clashes leading up to Trenton. Washington’s Crossing and the subsequent battle itself are fully recounted, providing a much-needed understanding of the Hessian experience. For 250 years, the story has been told mostly from one side. Now the essential counterpoint is finally revealed.

A Nation Within


The presence of hundreds of thousands ethnic Koreans in Japan, or "zainichi Koreans," is one of the visible legacies of Japanese colonialism. A surprising and influential group among zainichi Koreans that persists to this day is Chongryon, the only pro–North Korean diasporic group based in a capitalist society. Chongryon historically represented the central grassroots force seeking to liberate Koreans from Japan's imperial and neo-imperial influences. At the heart of the Chongryon community stands a political organization equipped with a central bureaucracy in Tokyo, with a headquarters in nearly every prefecture. Often called a de facto embassy of North Korea, the Chongryon organization has, in effect, functioned as a state within another state—operating hundreds of schools, banks, hospitals, business associations, publishing houses, and many other institutions across Japan.   Based on extensive archival research and nearly 250 original interviews collected with co-researcher KumHee Cho, who was raised within the Chongryon community, Sayaka Chatani offers a sweeping social history of this secretive, protective community in xenophobic Japanese society. Weaving together personal accounts and situating them in a multi-layered, transnational political context, the book offers a finely textured, intimate narrative of the community's tumultuous history and decolonial praxis. Through the stories of Chongryon, this book provides a bottom-up analysis of power politics among zainichi Koreans and reshapes our understanding of Japanese history, Korean history, and the Cold War in Asia.

The Banker Who Made America


If you haven't followed the money, chances are you don't know the real story of America and its Revolution. Nothing gives a clearer insight into this history than the life of early America's dominant merchant trader, first bank president, and first central banker, Thomas Willing. In this book, Richard Vague shows how Willing bankrolled – and in the process helped save – the Revolution and then fundamentally shaped the financial architecture of the young Republic. So powerful was Willing that President John Adams complained that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were governed by him. Yet at a decisive moment in Willing's life he voted against independence, as conflict between Pennsylvania's moneyed elite and the emergent lower and middle classes embroiled the politics of 1776 in bitter class conflict. This dynamic would continue after independence, as Willing and his associates attempted to tame the democratic forces unleashed by revolution and thereby set up a tension that has never stopped shaping US politics. This dramatic untold story sheds genuinely new light on the genesis of the American Republic, as well as the enduring economic and political conflicts that still shape US society today.

Democracy's Second Act


Democracy isn’t broken – it’s stuck. Around the world, people are growing angry and polarized – not because they’ve stopped caring, but because democracy has stopped evolving. The result isn’t apathy – it is a rising sense of political futility. In Democracy’s Second Act, Peter MacLeod and Richard Johnson argue that the first act of democracy – anchored in voting rights and representative government – achieved extraordinary gains. Free elections, near-universal suffrage, and the peaceful transfer of power reshaped societies and expanded human freedom. But these achievements represent the promise of democracy, not its completion. Their book offers a hopeful, clear-eyed vision for what comes next. Drawing on groundbreaking citizens’ assemblies in Ireland, Canada, and France – as well as democratic innovations from more than a dozen countries – MacLeod and Johnson show how we can build on the legacy of the first act by creating new institutions that tap into the talents, judgement, and capabilities of ordinary people. They make the case that the public isn’t a risk to be managed, but a powerful resource ready to be harnessed and that the future depends on giving citizens real responsibility, not just a periodic vote. Smart, story-driven, and deeply grounded in political theory and practice, Democracy’s Second Act is for changemakers ready to move beyond cynicism and rebuild democracy for a new era.

Currency of Nihilism


What happens to economic life when meaning and value come apart? Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche, E.M. Cioran, and Jean Baudrillard, this book shows how the latest trends in digital finance restage the dilemmas of nihilism in new ways. From cryptocurrencies and meme stocks to Silicon Valley venture capital and the global boom in artificial intelligence, economic life today thrives on the ambiguous allure of nothingness, annihilation, and disappearance. Samman brings the financial status of contemporary nihilism into focus, connecting its signal moods and sentiments to the system-logics of world finance. All the historical moods of nihilism now circulate through the financial system, he argues, and each further wave of technological advance provides yet more means of speculating on these moods. The result is a lucrative new culture of financial nihilism with no end in sight. For readers interested in philosophy and the history of capitalism, Currency of Nihilism offers an unsettling perspective on the nihilistic structures of feeling that underwrite the contemporary financial system.

Mezi solidaritou a zklamáním


Pandemie covidu-19 byla totálním společenským jevem, časem akutních i méně akutních krizí, avšak také obdobím, které nám může – zvláště ze zpětného pohledu – říci mnoho o fungování institucí i jednotlivců. Co jsme se o naší společnosti za těch několik málo let dozvěděli? Obstáli jsme? Můžeme doufat, že jakoukoli další krizi, která přijde, jako společnost zvládneme, anebo se máme do budoucna dívat spíše s obavami? Tyto otázky si v předkládané knize, která je výsledkem společného výzkumu české společnosti v období pandemie covidu-19, kladou historici, psychologové a sociologové z Akademie věd ČR.Kniha vyšla v koedici s Ústavem pro soudobé dějiny AV ČR, Psychologickým ústavem AV ČR a Sociologickým ústavem AV ČR.

Vyvlastněný hlas


Autorky a autoři této knihy mapují proměny genderové kultury české společnosti v letech 1948 až 1989. Poukazují na to, že v tomto procesu se vždy projevovaly jak emancipační, tak tradicionalistické tendence. Dále věnují pozornost tomu, jak celá řada aktérů – organizací, odborných komunit i jednotlivců – jednala tak, že spoluvytvářela genderovou kulturu státního socialismu po celé období jeho trvání, a to i přesto, že komunističtí ideologové vyvlastnili agendu českého předválečného ženského hnutí.

Judeophobia


Throughout the history of the Western world, Jews have suffered various forms of exclusion, stigmatization, and discrimination that have forced them always to be aware of their very particular situation. The Jews became a community under siege and, as Shlomo Sand argues, Judaism was shaped by the hostile gaze of Christian civilization. While the forms of hostility endured by the Jews have varied over the centuries, it is impossible to understand twentieth-century anti-Judaism, or Jewish identity itself, without taking account of the sediments of mental hatred, fuelled by religious belief, which have survived the passage of time. While anti-semitism is the term commonly used today, Sand prefers 'Judeophobia', which predates the appearance of anti-semitismand is more precise. Looking back over the centuries, he seeks to identify some of the stages in the age-old, incandescent hatred of the Jews, and tries to understand what remains today of this trenchant hostility. He also questions whether Zionism, born as a distressed response to modern Judeophobia, has ended up mirroring it. To what extent has Zionism inherited the ideological foundations that have always been characteristic of the persecutors of the Jew? his concise history of anti-Jewish hatred will be of great interest to anyone concerned with one of the most insidious and persistent features of Western civilization.
