Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod sepsané Janem Müllerem


Rukopis Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod sepsaný v roce 1842 dlouholetým panským důchodním Janem Müllerem (1773–1861), představuje mimořádné svědectví o životě na jednom z nejvýznamnějších východočeských panství přelomu 18. a 19. století. Autor, který působil ve službách náchodské vrchnosti více než půl století, zachytil hospodářský, správní i společenský život panství s přesností úředníka a vnímavostí pozorovatele své doby. Müllerovy zápisky odhalují nejen chod vrchnostenské kanceláře, ale i atmosféru společenských proměn a kulturního rozkvětu. Popisuje spory o piccolominské dědictví, dobu vlády Petra vévody Kuronského a jeho dcery Kateřiny vévodkyně Zaháňské, tajná jednání protinapoleonské koalice v Ratibořicích i uvedení Mozartovy opery Don Giovanni v náchodském zámeckém divadle. Vedle významných historických momentů zaznamenává i každodenní realitu úředníků, duchovních a učitelů, čímž podává plastický obraz života na panství v době mezi osvícenstvím a počátky moderní éry. Zásluhou Věry Vlčkové, která rukopis objevila, přeložila a opatřila rozsáhlým poznámkovým aparátem, se tento zajímavý dokument mohl znovu vrátit k čtenářům. Pamětihodnosti panství Náchod nejsou jen kronikou úředníka, ale živým svědectvím o době proměn, loajality a kultury, kdy se z venkovského panství stávalo jedno z kulturních a politických center východních Čech.

Conjuring the Arab Magician


This Element reassesses narratives of intercultural transmission in medieval European magic, highlighting complex processes of compilation and attribution often obscured by broad labels. Following an Introduction that lays out the methodological framework, Section 1 ('The Wise Saracens') explores a medieval Christian magician's depiction of Islam and the figure of the Arab magician, illustrating how authors blended genuine intercultural exchanges with imaginative attributions. Section 2 ('The Seven Names') reconsiders a Latin magical text traditionally labeled 'Arabic magic,' demonstrating that its complex, multicultural components resist any simple claims of a lost Arabic original. Section 3 ('The Almandel Problem') presents another contested text, showing how philological evidence often complicates a linear model of transmission. Finally, this volume offers a complete edition and translation of The Book of Seven Names, discussed in Section 2.

The Killing Age


We have ignored a fundamental truth at the heart of modern world history – with dramatic consequences for our age of polycrisis.The years we most associate with human progress – the Enlightenment, the birth of democracies, the Industrial Revolution – were at the same time catastrophically destructive.In this trailblazing work of revisionist history, Professor Clifton Crais argues that the growth of global capitalism between 1750 and the early 1900s should be seen not as the Anthropocene, but the Mortecene: the Age of Killing. Killing brought the world together and tore it apart, as profiteering merchant warriors committed mass-scale slaughter of humans and animals across Africa, Asia and the Americas. This new network of global connections and economies killed tens of millions of people and sparked an environmental crisis that remains the most pressing catastrophe facing the world today.Drawing on years of scholarship and a range of new sources, THE KILLING AGE turns our vision of past and present on its head, illuminating the Mortecene in all its horror: how it has shaped who we are, what we value, what we fear, and the precarious present we inhabit today.

The Secret Life of the Hotel


Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in hotels? Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of ‘service’ provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britain’s tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century. Eloise Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christie’s disappearance in 1926, the ‘Margate Hotel Murder’, and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Moss’s exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr. The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britain’s relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and ‘welcome’ had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities.

The Edges of the World


New York Times bestselling author Charles Foster argues that all the best ideas happen at the edges, from a rocky precipice where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented. 'Literal "eccentricity" is where the scientific, artistic and spiritual giants have always found their home. Venture with Foster if you dare, and embrace life.' Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive. This book travels to the frontiers of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents, of evolution, of artistic and political movements, and life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis, kissing lepers to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality - the Government or the dispossessed? And what happens when we live with the knowledge that we're all teetering on the edge of the dark?

The Iraq Wars


American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War''s cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003. The Iraq War unleashed resistance, civil war, insurgency and eventually the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Thus, following the Gulf War, each war was fought to finish the previous conflict. The Iraq Wars, therefore, are perhaps best understood as a chain of events.Academics, journalists, statesmen, and soldiers have produced many library shelves of books on the Iraq Wars. Yet, no short, easily digestible volume exists to synthesize this vast literature of both English and Arabic sources. The Iraq Wars: A Very Short Introduction covers this series of important conflicts as a whole, in a highly succinct and uniquely readable way.

The New Immigration Challenge


Due to shifting demographic trends and the increased need for workers, immigration continues to grow in many parts of the world. However, the increased diversity that immigration creates within societies is also associated with intergroup friction, perceived threat, and the rise of extremist right-wing nationalist movements, making it a central political issue that impacts societies globally. This book presents a psychological explanation of the immigration challenge in the 21st century and the ongoing backlash against immigrants by examining within nations and beyond national borders. It explains the relationship between immigration and national identity through an analysis of the intersection of globalization, deglobalization, and collective behavior. Addressing a crucial gap in existing literature, it applies a psychological perspective on immigration and offers new solutions to address the complex challenges facing minorities, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and host society members.

The Couple's Dice


A strong relationship isn’t the product of magic or luck. It grows through the small, repeated acts of honesty, vulnerability and humour we are brave enough to share. Yet even the most loving couples can struggle to begin these important conversations. We’re blocked by shyness, resentment or the unfamiliarity of putting certain thoughts into words. The Couple’s Dice is a tool to help partners connect. It gently encourages us to say things we long to express but often repress. Each of the six sides prompts a kind of communication we tend to neglect or avoid. Together, these prompts open the door to tenderness, catharsis, laughter and deeper trust. Along the way, the game may reveal truths we hadn’t fully grasped – unspoken desires, quiet disappointments or forgotten hopes – giving us a chance to grow closer to our partner and more in touch with ourselves.

Science, Religion, and the Human Future


Science, Religion, and the Human Future: Conflict, Collusion, and Consequences demonstrates that the myth of an inevitable conflict between science and faith is based on a misunderstanding of history, with potentially adverse consequences for human futures. The work focuses first upon ancient, medieval and Islamic scholars and the intimate connections they made between theology and the investigation of the natural world-and why we know so little about them. Moving into the modern era, it argues that one of the most concerning features of the science-faith relationship was their collusion in defining and validating the 'civilising mission' of Western imperialism. This collusion recontextualises the creation of the conflict thesis. Turning to the present day, the book investigates episodes of scientific controversy in which effective science communication was hindered not as a result of a clash between science and faith but because of a close and unexamined entanglement between the two. In cases ranging from space colonisation to AI, climate change to Covid-19, the problem is not so much science's split from faith as the unexamined and problematic theologies that remain implicit within it. Learning from these examples, the book outlines some productive and non-conflict-based frameworks for talking about science and faith in the future.

Život v armádě a s armádou v 19. století


Devatenácté století bylo obdobím hlubokých změn, které zasáhly všechny oblasti lidského života – kulturu, politiku, hospodářství i společnost. V éře rychlého rozvoje vědy, techniky a medicíny se výrazně proměnilo také vojenství. Armády získávaly novou podobu, vznikaly moderní zbraně, měnily se taktiky i organizace, a zavedení všeobecné branné povinnosti učinilo z vojenské služby zkušenost, jež ovlivnila téměř každého muže. Tato kniha se zaměřuje na podobu a význam vojenské služby v habsburské monarchii v „dlouhém“ 19. století. Sleduje, jak se vojenský život lišil od civilního, jaké dopady měla služba na jednotlivce i společnost a jak se armáda vyrovnávala s mimořádnou národnostní, sociální a kulturní rozmanitostí monarchie. Zkoumá každodennost vojáků – jejich výcvik, ubytování, stravu, hygienu, vztahy, zdravotní péči i střety s autoritou – a odhaluje, jak služba formovala jejich tělesnost, kázeň i identitu. Vojenská služba byla pro mnohé muže iniciačním přechodem mezi světy – od vesnice k městu, od civilního života k přísnému řádu kasáren, od dětství a raného mládí k dospělosti. Přinášela nové zkušenosti, obzory i konflikty. Ať už byla prožívána jako povinnost, zkouška nebo příležitost, zanechávala ve svých účastnících trvalé stopy. Tento pohled na vojenství habsburské monarchie otevírá nové otázky o vztahu mezi armádou, společností a jednotlivcem v době, kdy se rodil moderní svět.

Escape From Capitalism


Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there’s no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn’t have to be this way. In her bold, ground-breaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they’re weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features – justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn’t inevitable, scientific, or natural – it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape from Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.
