Get inside the head of one of America's most experienced MiG pilots as he tells the thrilling tale of the top-secret US operation that wouldn't feel out of place in 'Top Gun'. After finding themselves outflown over Vietnam, the American military launched top-secret Operation Constant Peg, using illicitly obtained Russian Fighters pitted against star US fighter pilots in simulated combat exercises. With controls labelled in Russian and the only spare parts being the ones they could salvage, the pilots who climbed into the MiGs – the Red Eagles – accepted all of the risks associated with operating these aircraft. This book describes what it was like to be there day in and day out at one of the most access-restricted airfields in the entire USAF, flying MiGs alongside some of the very best fighter pilots hand-picked from the ranks of the USAF, US Navy and US Marine Corps. Rob “Z-Man” Zettel tells the Red Eagles story for the first time through the experiences of a pilot who flew these aircraft to their maximum performance in simulated combat engagements, often several times a day, against frontline fighter pilots of the three US sister services. Vivid accounts of training engagements put the reader right in the cockpit, while historical photographs help paint the picture of an operation that took the US Air Force from its disappointing performance in the Vietnam War to unprecedented success in Operation Desert Storm.

Mistrust of the democratic electoral process has become rampant among Americans, particularly Republican voters. This trend carries profound consequences: widespread disputes over election results and resistance to the peaceful transfer of power threaten to undermine the very fabric of American democracy. It is, therefore, essential to understand why mistrust is spreading. No analysis is complete without a thorough accounting of the role of right-wing media in US politics.Weapons of Mass Deception challenges the conventional wisdom that right-wing media outlets like Breitbart News and Fox News function primarily as news organizations, using empirical analysis to demonstrate how they more closely resemble political organizations. Analyzing nearly four million online articles published by thirty major right-wing media outlets, Yunkang Yang finds that disinformation consistently ranked among the highest engagement stories between 2017 and 2020. Internal emails, Federal Election Commission filings, legal documents, and conversations between right-wing media employees illuminate the organizational patterns and practices underlying this data. Yang highlights the risk of "privatized political patronage," as platforms pursue both profits and strategic political objectives on behalf of their funders, owners, managers, and political allies. He further reveals the complexities of the right-wing media sphere and argues that when these goals align across networks, they can form a powerful political machine capable of misleading millions of Americans.Ultimately, this book reveals how organizations spread disinformation for partisan aims by exploiting the credibility afforded to traditional journalism, and it lays the framework for understanding how disparate right-wing media outlets coalesce into a unified weapon of mass deception.

'The inestimable Tom Hodgkinson once again contributes to our collective calm with this perfectly judged collection of philosophy.' Emma Thompson 'A great guide to philosophy and big ideas... it made me laugh out loud. It’s such a cheerful book, I read it in one go (well... two) and emerged refreshed and nourished.' Dominic West'He knows that play is one of the best teachers, and this treatise on Stoicism is illuminating, engaging, informative and highly accessible' Irvine WelshThere’s more to Stoicism than shrugging your shoulders and getting on with it, as Tom Hodgkinson discovers in this witty and enlightening book. Stoicism is an enduring and ancient philosophy that can help you with everything from love and politics to money and spirituality. The Stoics were celebrated by the Romans, they influenced Christianity and even Shakespeare admired them. Today, both therapists and politicians will profess adherence to the Stoic creed. The “serenity prayer” is a Stoic statement. The Beatles’ “Let it Be” is a Stoic song. Tom Hodgkinson, author of bestselling How to Be Idle, goes back to the original philosophical texts and looks at the greatest Stoics in history – including Seneca, Cicero, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine – to see if they can help us find fulfilment. He discovers that Stoicism is much stranger and more radical than you’d think. With witty reflections on everything from ethics, grammar, rhetoric, education, friendship and the importance of occasionally letting your hair down, Tom Hodgkinson shares his genuinely funny and brilliant guide to the Stoic life.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION'Ece Temelkuran is a brilliant thinker' Omar El Akkad'Her most ambitious and dazzling book yet' Brian Eno'Perhaps the most urgent and necessary book of our times' Michael MorpurgoDear stranger. Are you home? Do you feel at home? For how much longer? Across the world the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and the economically excluded is growing. In the decade since she left her own home, Ece Temelkuran has been a political Cassandra, warning those convinced it couldn't happen in their country that fascism is coming. Now, as oppression spreads and temperatures rise - as we face competing crises and learn, again and again, that no institution is so concrete it can't turn to dust, and no home is too strong to be destroyed - she has written Nation of Strangers: a series of letters from one stranger to another. Politically attuned and deeply personal, this extraordinary, heartening correspondence is a gift to treasure in uncertain times. As poetic as it is precise, it is a book for anyone who feels alienated by an ever-more monstrous world. It shows how, as we all become strangers, our home will depend on the strength we find with one another.

Jordan B. Peterson, celosvetovo známy klinický psychológ a autor bestsellerov 12 pravidiel pre život a Za hranicou poriadku, sa v tejto výnimočnej knihe púšťa do jedného z najodvážnejších projektov svojej kariéry – do hlbokého, psychologického a filozofického čítania najstaršieho príbehu ľudstva. V knihe My, čo zápasíme s Bohom nás prevedie biblickým rozprávaním, ktoré formovalo západnú civilizáciu a aj naše chápanie dobra, zla, poriadku a chaosu: Adam a Eva a pád človeka, bratovražda Kaina a Ábela, Noachova potopa, zrútenie Babylonskej veže, Abrahámova skúška viery či Mojžišov zápas o slobodu. Peterson skúma, prečo tieto príbehy vznikli, čo znamenajú z hľadiska psychológie, biológie aj kultúry a čo riskujeme, keď ich dnes odmietame ako bezvýznamné mýty. Ukazuje, že tieto naratívy predstavujú starobylé mapy ľudskej skúsenosti: od vzbury proti chaosu cez obetu až po osobnú transformáciu. Toto dielo však nie je len interpretáciou Biblie, je to pozvánka na nové, hlboké zamyslenie sa nad samým sebou a nad vlastným životom. Kniha je určená pre každého, kto sa chce lepšie zorientovať v zložitosti moderného sveta prostredníctvom osvedčenej múdrosti najväčšieho príbehu všetkých čias.

A Maradj formában egy kártyacsomagba sűrített, könnyen használható agytorna és szellemi frissítő játék, amely segít abban, hogy a mindennapokban is edzésben tartsuk az elmét. A pakli célja az úgynevezett kognitív stimuláció: olyan rövid, változatos feladatok gyűjteménye, amelyek rendszeres gyakorlással támogatják a gondolkodást, a koncentrációt, a memóriát és a problémamegoldó készséget. A kártyákra épülő feladatok az agy „edzésének” elvén működnek: minél többször mozgatunk meg különböző gondolkodási területeket, annál könnyebben tartjuk frissen a mentális képességeinket. A pakli éppen ezért ideális választás mindazoknak, akik szeretnek rejtvényeket megoldani, szeretik a logikai kihívásokat, vagy egyszerűen csak szeretnének mentálisan formában maradni. A Maradj formában kártyacsomag egyik nagy előnye, hogy rugalmasan használható. A feladatokat lehet egyedül megoldani, de akár közösen is játszható, így családi programként vagy barátokkal is jó választás. A kártyák rövidek, ezért könnyű beilleszteni őket a napirendbe: akár napi 10–15 perc is elég ahhoz, hogy rendszeresen tornáztassuk az agyat. A játékban ráadásul pontozási rendszer is található, ami segít nyomon követni a haladást, és motiválóvá teszi a gyakorlást. Így nemcsak a feladatmegoldás élménye marad meg, hanem az is, hogy lépésről lépésre fejlődünk. A pakli feladatai hat nagy terület köré épülnek, így változatos, és hosszabb távon sem válik unalmassá. Az asszociációs feladatok az összekapcsolásról és a kapcsolatok felismeréséről szólnak. Itt olyan kihívások várnak, amelyekben képeket, fogalmakat vagy kifejezéseket kell összepárosítani, és megtalálni, mi mihez tartozik. Ez a típusú játék remekül frissíti a gondolkodást és a gyors kapcsolatteremtést. A logikai feladatok a mintázatok, sorozatok és különbségek felismerésére építenek. Előfordulhat, hogy meg kell találni a kakukktojást, folytatni kell egy mintát, vagy vizuális feladatokban kell következtetni. Ezek a kártyák egyszerre fejlesztik a koncentrációt és a problémamegoldó gondolkodást. A memóriakártyák a rövid távú és a munkamemóriát mozgatják meg. A feladatok során szavakat, számokat vagy képeket kell megjegyezni, majd visszaidézni vagy kérdések alapján felidézni. A rendszeres memóriajáték segíthet abban, hogy könnyebben rögzítsünk információkat, és frissebben tartsuk a mentális működést. A szókincs feladatok a nyelvi készségeket fejlesztik. Itt hiányos szavakat kell kiegészíteni, betűket javítani, összekevert elemekből értelmes szót vagy mondatot alkotni, vagy éppen nyelvi játékokat megoldani. Ez különösen jó választás azoknak, akik szeretik a szavas rejtvényeket, és szeretnék karbantartani a nyelvi rugalmasságot. A matematikai feladatok a számolást és az egyszerűbb műveleteket frissítik fel. A kártyák között lehetnek műveletsorok, számrendezések, logikai számfeladványok, amelyek segítenek abban, hogy a matematikai gondolkodás is formában maradjon. Végül a csomag különlegessége, hogy koordinációs feladatokat is tartalmaz. Ezek olyan egyszerű, biztonságos mozgásos kihívások, amelyek összekapcsolják a figyelmet és a mozgást. Ez azért hasznos, mert nemcsak a „fejben” történik a játék, hanem kicsit át is mozgat, és így teljesebb élményt ad. A Maradj formában tehát egy sokoldalú, könnyen elővehető kártyacsomag, amely játékos formában támogatja a mindennapi mentális frissességet. Hasznos lehet mindenkinek, aki szeretne rendszeresen agytornázni, jól jöhet ajándéknak is, és különösen azok fogják szeretni, akik értékelik a rövid, változatos, mégis tartalmas feladatokat. Ha egy olyan játékot keresel, ami kikapcsol, közben pedig megmozgatja az elmét, a Maradj formában jó választás.

In 2000, the United Nations Security Council passed resolution 1325, which addressed, for the first time, the experience of women and girls during conflict and the need to consider gender in peacebuilding. From this landmark resolution, a groundbreaking Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has evolved, guided by ten total Security Council resolutions. But to this point, the WPS framework and related scholarship has yet to meaningfully include queer and trans women in their programmatic work and conflict interventions.Queering Women, Peace and Security fills this gap by applying queer theory to feminist efforts to ensure a gender perspective is promoted by the WPS agenda. Engaging with WPS documentation, examples of implementation, and interviews with practitioners, Jamie J. Hagen examines how the needs of LGBTQ people in conflict and peacebuilding are considered within the current architecture and practices. In particular, she identifies the interchangeable use of the words "gender" and "women," which betrays a larger analytical failure to think outside a binary categorization of gender. Informed by this analysis and interviews with leaders from Northern Ireland and Colombia, Hagen outlines steps those implementing the WPS agenda can take to work in collaboration with queer and trans communities in their gender, peace, and security work.
