Worlds of Islam


From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

Zmeňte otázky, zmeňte svoj život


Každému z nás v hlave denne víria desiatky otázok, ktorými reagujeme na vzniknuté situácie. Nie vždy ich formulujeme vedome. Niekedy nám ich nadiktujú emócie, predsudky či minulé skúsenosti. A každá z nich nás v myslení a následnom správaní nasmeruje k iným výsledkom. Ak sa po rozchode či nepodarenej prezentácii v práci pýtate sami seba „Čo je so mnou zle?“, očakávajte úplne iné odpovede (a vnútorné naladenie) ako pri „Ako sa z toho môžem poučiť?“. Dr. Marilee Adamsová v tejto knihe ukazuje, ako pracovať s otázkami tak, aby sa stali zdrojom riešení, zvedavosti a rastu. Prostredníctvom príbehu Bena Knighta, s ktorým sa ľahko stotožníte, sa zoznámite s mapou výberu – jednoduchou, no mimoriadne efektívnou pomôckou – a s dvanástimi účinnými nástrojmi overenej metodológie otázkového myslenia. Spolu s Benom sa naučíte sledovať svoje okamžité reakcie s odstupom, správne ich interpretovať a pomocou „prechodných“ otázok prejsť zo zväzujúceho nastavenia sudcu na cestu študenta. Takáto zmena myslenia otvára priestor pre lepšie rozhodnutia, tvorivosť a zásadné posuny – v práci, vo vzťahoch aj v osobnom živote. Štvrté, rozšírené vydanie medzinárodného bestselleru prináša aj nové poznatky z neurovied o zvládaní stresu a strachu, prenesené do praktických stratégií.

Závislost - když bolest volí za tebe


Tato kniha není o drogách ani o alkoholu. Je o utrpení, bolesti, studu a vině. O snaze vymanit se z chapadel závislosti, která je v naší společnosti často nepochopena a odsuzována. Závislost zde není popisována jako selhání vůle, ale jako adaptace na bolest, trauma a nepříznivé životní okolnosti. Jako způsob přežití u lidí, kteří bývají často těmi nejcitlivějšími mezi námi. Závislost: Když bolest volí za tebe je dílo autora, který se dokázal vrátit z hlubin závislosti zpět do života, a dnes pomáhá druhým na jejich cestě k zotavení. Kniha se zároveň opírá o poznatky vědy i zkušenosti z terapeutické praxe. Nezapomíná na trpící rodinu a blízké, ani na pohled společnosti – jednu z největších bariér na cestě k uzdravení a celistvosti.

Nalaď sa na radosť


Cítiť radosť v ťažkom období? Po prežití traumatickej udalosti? Keď sme po krk v problémoch? V hlave nám víria pochmúrne myšlienky, svet sa zdá bezfarebný, život bezútešný a pripadá nám, že nič iné ako temnota neexistuje. Keď je nám ťažko, máme tendenciu pozitívne pocity nevnímať, dokonca ich odmietať. Napriek tomu výskumy dokazujú, že postoje ako odolnosť, radosť, vďačnosť, nádej a ochota ísť ďalej aj po prežití traumatickej udalosti sú liečivé. No pokiaľ ide o využívanie týchto nástrojov v praxi, psychológia zúfalo zaostáva. Priekopníčkou v tejto oblasti je práve autorka knihy Nalaď sa na radosť. Uznávaná psychologička MaryCatherine McDonald vytvorila koncept zakorenený v neurobiológii pre všetkých, ktorí sa snažia na život nazerať s radosťou. Prichádza s návodom, ako v živote v akejkoľvek situácii nachádzať uhly pohľadu, ktoré temnotu nepopierajú, skôr z nej krok za krokom ukazujú cestu von. Pomáha identifikovať bariéry, ktoré nám v tom bránia, a definuje pozitívne emócie, ktoré k nám prichádzajú v najtemnejších chvíľach a tvoria samotný prazáklad psychickej odolnosti.

The Lord's Prayer: A 40-Day Devotional


The Lord’s Prayer is the most well-known prayer in history. Memorised by millions and spoken in churches, homes, weddings and funerals, it is far more than familiar words – it is a framework for living. When Jesus taught this prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), he was not offering a spiritual formula but giving us a vision of life with God. Each line reveals what matters most: God’s priorities. The prayer begins with the Father’s love, moves through worship, surrender, forgiveness and trust, and ends with eternal hope. In ‘The Lord’s Prayer: A 40-Day Devotional’, J.John guides readers through this prayer over the course of forty reflections built around ten rich themes – each beginning with the letter ‘P’:·      God’s Personal love·      Praise his name·      Align with his Purpose·      Adopt his Priority·      Rely on his Provision·      Walk in his Pardon·      Extend Peace·      Lean on his Presence·      Trust his Protection·      Lift your eyes with PerspectiveSome traditions end the prayer with ‘but rescue us from the evil one’, while others include the familiar doxology: ‘For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’ This devotional honours both, concluding with praise that reflects the heart of Scripture (see 1 Chronicles 29:11).  Whether you have prayed the Lord’s Prayer all your life or you are just beginning to explore its meaning, this devotional will help you renew your heart, deepen your faith and realign your life with God’s eternal priorities. Perfect for personal devotion, family use or small-group study, it invites you not just to pray the Lord’s Prayer but to live it – and let it change everything.

Modern and Radical


Why were the last generation of Jews to grow up in Poland before the Holocaust so susceptible to change and new ideas? Despite any major differences between different groups of Jewish youth, whether rich, poor, traditional, orthodox, Zionist, socialist, or communist, the generation as a whole was unified by "radical modernism," engaging with revolutionary political ideologies of the 1930s. Modern and Radical explores the political consciousness of this generation of Jewish youth who came of age in 1930s Poland. Author Kamil Kijek describes how Jewish youth in the 1920s and '30s, unlike their parents and grandparents, attended Polish public schools, adapted to the realities of a Polish national state, and were significantly influenced by both Polish elite and popular cultures – despite the state's emphasis on ethnic Polish nationalism creating a strong feeling of exclusion. This, combined with discrimination in higher education and employment, as well as the growth of antisemitism, created a generation of Jewish youth with a complex, love-hate relationship with the Polish state. Drawing on hundreds of autobiographies penned by young Polish Jews throughout the 1930s, Modern and Radical provides rich insight into how this unique group of Jewish youth in the interwar period experienced life in the emerging national Polish state., reviewing a previous edition or volume

Is Inequality the Problem?


A data-rich analysis that will reshape our understanding of how rising income inequality has actually affected societies in the industrialized world.Increasing economic inequality is now one of the most studied subjects in the social sciences. The general view is that while its increase represents a bad social outcome in and of itself, its negative impact extends into numerous other realms of social life: declines in living standards for those in the lower deciles of the income ladder, worse health outcomes, reductions in happiness, and less opportunity for most.In Is Inequality the Problem?, Lane Kenworthy draws from a vast trove of research on the rich democracies to argue that while inequality is normatively a problem and we should therefore work to reduce it, the evidence from wealthier countries does not show that income inequality has contributed much at all to the other social ills it is associated with, like poor health outcomes. The effects vary from society to society, but typically the key contributors to negative trends like this one are factors other than inequality. Instead of trying to improve living standards, democracy, opportunity, health, and happiness indirectly via reduction in income inequality or wealth inequality, policy makers are more likely to make progress by pursuing these goals directly.This contrarian yet balanced account of one of the main social problems of our era will reshape our understanding of how rising economic inequality has affected societies in the industrialized world.

The Maternal Contract


In the Americas, organized state violence takes many forms--from forced disappearance and feminicide to extralegal killings, mass incarceration, and illegal detention. In response, mothers'' organizations and collectives emerged in the 1970s to advocate for their disappeared, imprisoned, and murdered relatives. These organizations fight long and challenging battles for state and corporate accountability, demanding the creation of truth commissions, national memory archives, memory sites, and victim-oriented legislation. By implementing alternative caretaking mechanisms on behalf of survivors and victims, mothers'' organizations have become powerful actors against organized state violence, structural inequalities, and political abandonment. In The Maternal Contract, Elva F. Orozco Mendoza traces the mobilization of mothers'' organizations against organized state violence in the Americas. Drawing on the insights and work of four mothers'' organizations--Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, Las Madres de Chihuahua, Colectivo Solecito, and Mothers Reclaiming Our Children, Orozco Mendoza introduces a novel theoretical framework, "the maternal contract," to illustrate how these organizations create and advance their own caretaking structures in the absence of substantive political rights and representation. While these organizations emerged in different times and geographies, Orozco Mendoza argues that they are linked by a powerful commitment to protect subaltern social groups and marginalized subjects against a violence-driven apparatus that disregards human life and dignity. In so doing, she draws attention to the caretaking practices, initiatives, and responsibilities that mothers'' organizations adopt to counter chronic violence and collective suffering.

How Africa Works


The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain? In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Rewriting the History of the Great Sphinx


The Great Sphinx has guarded the Giza Plateau in Egypt for many thousands of years. Despite there being relatively little direct evidence, it is generally assumed that this iconic monument is some 4500 years old, built at the same time as Giza’s great pyramids. This book challenges the established history of the Giza Necropolis to present the only comprehensive, evidence-led account of the history and ritual meaning of the Great Sphinx. After re-examining the archaeological evidence and then considering the important role of geology, the book concludes that the Great Sphinx and a number of related monuments, were built at Giza in the earliest stages of the Pharaonic Era – in the period before Egypt’s first pyramids were built. Perhaps more surprisingly, evidence emerges that the Great Sphinx may not have been the first monument built at Giza, with indications of ritual activity at this important site, which pre-dates Egypt’s first pharaohs. By answering these uncertainties regarding the age of the Great Sphinx, a new picture unfolds of what the concept of the human-headed lion meant to the people that originally built it.

Speech Begins After Death


In 1968, Michel Foucault agreed to a series of interviews with critic Claude Bonnefoy, which were to be published in book form. Bonnefoy wanted a dialogue with Foucault about his relationship to writing rather than about the content of his books. The project was abandoned, but a transcript of the initial interview survived and is published here. In this brief and lively exchange, Foucault reflects on how he approached the written word throughout his life, from his school days to his discovery of the pleasure of writing. Wide ranging, characteristically insightful, and unexpectedly autobiographical, the discussion sheds light on Foucault's intellectual development, his aims as a writer, his clinical methodology ("let's say I'm a diagnostician"), and his interest in other authors, including Raymond Roussel and Antonin Artaud. Foucault discloses, in ways he never had previously, details about his home life, his family history, and the profound sense of obligation he feels to the act of writing. Speech Begins after Death shows Foucault adopting a new language, an innovative autobiographical communication that is neither conversation nor monologue, and is one of his most personal statements about his life and writing.

Beyond Generation Rent


As societies struggle to respond to the revival of private renting, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical account of the inequality at the heart of contemporary housing systems. Bringing together cutting-edge research and case studies from a host of countries — from the USA to Australia, from Spain to Germany — Michael Byrne examines inequality, financialization, the rise of 'generation landlord' and evictions. He analyses the everyday power dynamics between landlords and tenants and the social and economic structures that mean the ownership of residential property is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Moving beyond the kind of thinking that treats landlordism as natural and inevitable, Byrne's political economy framework demonstrates how declining homeownership and its consequences for inequality and housing justice are major political challenges for contemporary societies. At the same time, a new generation of tenant activism can point the way to fairer housing systems. A groundbreaking study, Beyond Generation Rent is crucial reading for housing researchers, policy-makers, activists and anyone who cares about decent housing for all.

Lži, které svazují


Anglický název knihy The Lies That Bind v sobě nese několik významů – lži, které svazují, spojují i zavazují současně. Britský filozof z poloviny ghanského původu Kwame Anthony Appiah, působící na předních amerických univerzitách, se v ní zabývá otázkami identit – rasové, etnické, třídní, náboženské, národnostní a kulturní, jejich vznikem, podstatou a konflikty. Na příkladech konkrétních lidí, jako je Anton Wilhelm Amo, černošský sirotek z Afriky, ze kterého se stal přední evropský filozof, Itala Sveva, spisovatele, který změnil občanství, aniž by se hnul z místa, až po svého vlastního otce, vášnivého bojovníka proti kolonialismu, ochotného položit život za národ, který ještě ani neexistoval, poukazuje na vnitřní rozpor, nejednoznačnost a nestabilitu kolektivních identit, jejich nejasné vymezení hranic a na mýty, o které se opírají a na nichž stojí.
