The Home Front
Prior to the American Revolution, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence, British forces occupied every major city, invading the most private of spaces: the home. By closely considering the dynamics of the household —how people moved within it, thought about it, and wielded power over it— The Home Front reveals the ways in which occupation fundamentally upended the structures of colonial society and created opportunities for unprecedented economic and social mobility. In occupied cities, British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. As Lauren Duval shows, the unique conditions of occupation produced an aggrieved American population bound by shared emotional distress and domestic disorder. In the wake of this deeply disorienting experience, elite Americans deliberately reconsecrated the private home as a national symbol that epitomized masculine authority. Building on a stunning wealth of primary sources, Duval vividly captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it, showing how men and women of all races, statuses, and states of freedom understood its implications for their lives, families, and the nascent American Republic.

Zkoumání principů morálky
Humovo Zkoumání principů morálky patří společně s Aristotelovou Etikou Nikomachovou a Kantovými Základy metafyziky mravů do kánonu evropské morální filosofie. Hume v něm rozvíjí zkušenostně založené uvažování o morální stránce lidské přirozenosti, které ve jménu založení etiky v morálních vášních odmítá jak klasický morální racionalismus, tak psychologický egoismus.
David Hume (1711–1776) je považován za nejvýznamnějšího anglicky píšícího filosofa a čelního představitele skotského osvícenství. Ve své prvotině, Pojednání o lidské přirozenosti (1739–1740), představil plán zkoumání lidské přirozenosti založený na popisu operací lidské mysli uplatňujících se ve výkonech poznání, při prožívání vášní a v utváření morálního charakteru lidí a společenských zákonů.
Myšlenky Pojednání přepracoval ve Zkoumání lidského rozumu (1748), ve Zkoumání principů morálky (1751) a v Rozpravě o vášních (1757).
Trauma Beyond Time
Trauma Beyond Time: Temporal Constructs in Holocaust Testimonies challenges our understanding of what it means to be a Holocaust survivor, arguing that the term "post-Holocaust" fundamentally misrepresents survivors' experiences. Through careful analysis of Holocaust literature and testimony, this book reveals how trauma persists across generations, defying conventional historical timelines. For those who perished, there can be no "after" to the Holocaust—their stories were violently ended. Yet for survivors, the Holocaust didn't simply conclude in 1945. Their experiences demonstrate how trauma continues to shape lives decades later, making "post-Holocaust" a misleading concept that fails to capture their ongoing reality. Using the multigenerational testimony of the Tabak family as a case study, this research shows how trauma disrupts linear time, creating a continuous present where past horrors remain alive. The author examines Holocaust diaries that end abruptly with their authors' deaths, alongside memoirs that document how survivors navigate a world forever altered by their experiences. Perhaps most profound is the examination of intergenerational trauma, where descendants inherit the psychological imprint of events they never personally witnessed. For these individuals, there is no "before" the Holocaust—only its ongoing echoes through family memory and inherited trauma. By reconsidering how we frame survivorship, this book calls for a more nuanced, trauma-informed approach to Holocaust studies that honors the continuing reality of survivors' experiences.
Arrested Development
Winner of the Marshall Shulman Book Prize of the Harriman Institute of Columbia UniversityWinner of the W. Bruce Lincoln Book Prize of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian StudiesIn Arrested Development, Alessandro Iandolo examines the USSR's role in West Africa during the 1950s and 1960s as an aid donor, trade partner, and political model for newly independent Ghana, Guinea, and Mali. With a strong economy in the 1950s, the USSR expanded its global outreach, supporting economic development in post-colonial Africa and Asia. Many nations saw the Soviet model as a path to political and economic independence. Drawing on extensive Russian and West African archival research, Iandolo explores Soviet ideas, sponsored projects, and their lasting impact. Soviet specialists worked alongside West African colleagues to design ambitious development plans, build infrastructure, establish collective farms, survey mineral resources, and manage banking and trade. These collaborations - and the tensions they created - shed light on how Soviet and West African visions of development intersected. Arrested Development positions the USSR as a key player in twentieth-century economic history, reshaping global approaches to modernization.
Evropská úmluva o lidských právech. Komentář, 2. vydání
Velký komentář k Evropské úmluvě o lidských právech z roku 2012 z pera Jiřího Kmece, Davida Kosaře, Jana Kratochvíla a Michala Bobka čtenáře na první pohled zaujal svým originálním stylem. Nabídl přehledné shrnutí relevantních principů výkladu jednotlivých ustanovení Úmluvy, početné ilustrace jejich aplikace na konkrétních případech i pečlivou kritickou analýzu více než 4 000 rozhodnutí Evropského soudu pro lidská práva. Na celkem 1 660 stranách přinesl kromě podrobného výkladu jednotlivých lidských práv a základních svobod také detailní rozbor fungování kontrolního mechanismu Úmluvy a samostatné kapitoly o metodách interpretace Úmluvy, jejím vnitrostátním působení, jejím vzniku a vývoji atd. Díky tomu se stal všeobecně oceňovaným a hojně citovaným zdrojem informací v judikatuře českých i slovenských (nejen) nejvyšších soudních instancí a v odborné literatuře.
Nyní vychází jeho druhé, aktualizované a rozšířené, vydání. Reaguje na – v řadě oblastí zásadní – vývoj judikatury Evropského soudu pro lidská práva, jenž v uplynulých 13 letech vydal zhruba 13 000 nových rozsudků. Zaměřuje se také na změny v úpravě řízení před tímto mezinárodním soudem, k nimž došlo v důsledku nabytí účinnosti Protokolů č. 15 a 16 k Úmluvě a novelizací jednacího řádu. Díky tomu má velký komentář k Evropské úmluvě o lidských právech znovu ambici stát se hlavní referenční knihou pro všechny právní teoretiky i praktiky, kteří se potřebují snadno, ale současně do hloubky zorientovat v aktuální rozhodovací praxi Evropského soudu pro lidská práva.

Norms in International Relations
In this second edition of Norms in International Relations, Audie Klotz revisits the global struggle against apartheid and considers its impact on how we grapple with race and racism in international relations today. Originally published in the wake of South Africa's democratic transition, Norms in International Relations documented how sustained international activism transformed apartheid from a domestic injustice into a global problem. Through chapters on multilateral institutions and bilateral pressures, Klotz showed how sanctions campaigns challenged state interests and reshaped global norms. This second edition retains the original chapters as a historical snapshot of late-Cold War diplomacy, while new material traces the evolving meaning of apartheid itself – from a uniquely racialized regime to a more diffuse symbol of inequality. Klotz cautions that as "apartheid" becomes a generalized moral shorthand, its roots in systemic anti-Blackness risk being obscured. Bringing together case study specificity with broad contemporary resonance, this second edition invites new readers to rethink the politics of race, resistance, and norm diffusion in international relations – and to confront what the field still too often leaves out.
Agent of Change
In Agent of Change Huda Mukbil takes us behind the curtain of a leading spy agency during a fraught time, recounting her experiences as an intelligence officer for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Mukbil was the first Black Arab-Canadian Muslim woman to join CSIS and was at the forefront of the fight against terrorism after 9/11. Mukbil’s mastery of four languages quickly made her a counterterrorism expert and a uniquely valuable asset to the organization. But as she worked with colleagues to confront new international threats, she also struggled for acceptance and recognition at the agency. Following the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the rise of homegrown extremism, Mukbil was framed as an inside threat. Determined to prove her loyalty, while equally concerned about the surveillance and profiling of Muslims and revelations of Western agencies’ torture and torture by proxy, Mukbil started to question CSIS’s fluctuating ethical stance in relation to its mandate. Her stellar work on a secondment to MI5, the British Security Service, earned commendation; this shielded her, but only temporarily, from the hostile workplace culture at CSIS. Ultimately, Mukbil and a group of colleagues went public about the pervasive institutional discrimination undermining CSIS and national security from within. Mukbil’s expertise in international security and her commitment to workplace transparency drove important changes at CSIS. Dazzlingly written, her account is an eye-opener for anyone wanting to understand how racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia undermine not only individuals, but institutions and the national interest – and how addressing this openly can tackle populism and misinformation.
Retrench, Defend, Compete
In Retrench, Defend, Compete, Charles L. Glaser advances a thought-provoking strategy for securing vital US interests in the face of China's rise. Many believe China's ascent will drive it to war with the United States. Yet this is far from inevitable; geography and nuclear weapons should ensure US security. The real danger, Glaser contends, lies in East Asia's territorial disputes, especially over Taiwan. To reduce the risk of war, Glaser makes a bold case for ending US security commitments to Taiwan and carefully calibrating its policies on protecting South China Sea maritime features. The United States should also strengthen its alliances with Japan and South Korea and eliminate unnecessarily provocative nuclear and conventional weapons policies. These measures, Glaser argues, would defuse China's biggest security concerns while preserving America's core strategic interests. Fusing theoretical insights with policy analysis, Retrench, Defend, Compete lays out a distinctive and compelling approach for managing the world's most consequential geopolitical rivalry - before it's too late.
'If Any Person Will Meddle of My Cause'
Heather R. Darsie reviews the political missteps and implications of Anne Boleyn’s queenship. She dives deeper into the threat Anne posed to Henry, and why legal changes made during the early years of the English Reformation allowed Henry VIII to judicially murder his inconvenient queen. Anne’s choice of attire, reported last words, mode of execution, and burial all point to a significant religious element which has not been explored before. Anne wore colours traditionally associated with martyrdom, announced that she did not come to preach, was executed by beheading instead of burning, and had a very crude burial in an unmarked grave. These elements point to Henry - and Anne - viewing her death as being motivated by Anne’s religious faux pas. Anne tried to portray herself as a martyr, and Henry did everything he could to prevent Anne from reaching that status. The author shows that Anne supported French Reformists, including those involved in the alarming French Affair of the Placards in late 1534, asking Henry to petition for the release of at least one of the heretics, and then bringing him to England. This is a different Anne.
The Office and Authority of the Local Prior in the Order of Saint Augustine
As a young priest, Robert Prevost was sent in 1981 to Rome to study church law at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas (known as the Angelicum). There he earned a licentiate and composed a doctoral thesis, which made final in 1987. This is that thesis, the first book-length work composed by the man now known as Pope Leo XIV. Specifically, his study - drawing from sources in English, Italian, and Spanish and from medieval history and theology as well as canon law - focused on the role of the prior as the local superior in the Order of St. Augustine. In doing so, he describes a traditional notion of obedience in religious life - one based on love of the truth and growth in one's inner freedom to pursue holiness. At the center of his reflection are key ideas regarding the common good of the Church; the Eucharistic liturgy at the center of the life of the community; the role of hierarchy and consultation; and mutual respect for the diverse contributions of each person. Present in this text, moreover, is a far-reaching conception of the priesthood characterized by the triple munera: the priestly work of teaching, sanctification, and governance. Central to the whole volume is an Augustinian conception of the spiritual life that focuses on the inward work of grace, the primacy of the love of God, and inward conformity to Christ. The book's preface - composed by eminent theologian and present-day rector of the Angelicum, Fr. Thomas Joseph White, OP - helps frame the work for the wider public interested in it as a privileged window into the mind and heart of Prevost as a young priest, showing how its subject matter has implications for how one thinks about the life of the Catholic Church. There are clearly in this early work central themes regarding the life of Church, the apostolic tradition, and ecclesial authority in the service of the common good, that may well indicate directions and themes in the subsequent life and teaching of the author. Canonists will be drawn to Prevost's analysis of the Constitutions of the Augustinians in light of the then-newly promulgated Code of Canon Law. Historians and theologians alike may enjoy considering parallelisms that occur between this Augustinian vision of the prior and the subsequent unfolding of an Augustinian pontificate. Hopefully the publication of this work will lead to constructive debate about and comprehension of the relation of between the two.
Mrzáci studenej vojny, 2. vydanie
Autobiografický text Miloša Žiaka podrobne zaznamenáva jeho básnický a osobnostný vývoj v čase vrcholiacej normalizácie až po zánik komunistickej totality. Otvorená a úprimná výpoveď sa odohráva v rokoch 1975 až 1989, mapuje jeho básnické začiatky, detailne opisuje ako prebiehalo „miškovanie mozgov“ v Mihálikovom Novom slove mladých, literárny život v bratislavských krčmách a kaviarňach, štúdium na Filozofickej fakulte UK, aj jeho prvé zamestnania a kontakty s bratislavským disentom. Text je pozoruhodný nielen množstvom zaznamenaných reálnych postáv a udalostí (najmä z prostredia literatúry) podaných živo a autenticky, ale aj dokumentárnou hodnovernosťou. Vďaka tomu čitateľovi pred očami ožije literárny a spoločenský život generácie, dospievajúcej na Slovensku v čase po okupácii Československa vojskami tzv. spriatelených armád pod vedením Sovietskeho zväzu (1968), jej vyrovnávanie sa s realitou a hľadanie cesty, ako sa z toho dostať – kolaborovať s po-okupačným normalizačným totalitným režimom, alebo sa postaviť na odpor?
Na rozdiel od prvého vydania (2003) je z knihy vyradená záverečná kapitola, zaoberajúca sa politickými konfliktmi autora po novembri 1989, ktoré však už s literatúrou nemali nič spoločné. Tento text je prepracovaný a doplnený o ďalšie pôsobivé detaily, fotografie editora Dušana Taragela a poznámkový aparát.
A Tempestuous Sea of Liberty
The final work by late historian Thomas N. Ingersoll on the political crisis posed by the presidential election of 1800—the reverberations of which are still felt today. Written by the late Thomas Ingersoll before his death in December 2021, this book examines the fourteen-month struggle to control the identity and future of the United States following George Washington’s death in December 1799. In this period, Americans engaged in a fierce debate over every aspect of political life, but especially over the meaning of egalitarianism and equality in the nascent nation. Ingersoll’s work focuses in particular on the divisions between two emergent national political parties: the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans. Both were “democratic,” strictly speaking, but they were still nervous about what “democracy” actually meant. Each party was also deeply divided along a spectrum from most moderate to most extreme. After a fraught election campaign shaped by disagreements over fundamental issues of class, gender, race, and religion, the populist Democratic-Republicans sent the moderately progressive Thomas Jefferson to the White House and won control of the House of Representatives. This victory ended twelve long years of Federalist domination and began one of the greatest political dramas in American history. Rather than accepting their electoral defeat, the Federalists sought to subvert the will of the people and sow chaos and anarchy in the courts and in Congress, nearly tearing the country apart in the process. The Revolution of 1800 did nothing to stem the tide of a growing sectionalism that threatened to unmoor the nation but rather moved the country one step closer to all-out civil war. A Tempestuous Sea of Liberty is a magisterial history of this pivotal period in American history, written by a senior historian in full command of the material.
The Military Austin Ten
The military Austin Ten, also known as the Austin Ten ‘Tilly’ Light Utility Truck, accompanied British forces from Dunkirk to D-Day and from Northern Europe to North Africa during the Second World War. Although it would be overshadowed by the more adaptable jeep, with its 4x4 off-road capabilities, the military Austin 10 carried out a wide range of duties for the British armed forces and was one of the vehicles on which the young Princess Elizabeth learned her mechanic skills in the Auxiliary Training Service (ATS).This fascinating book charts the development of both the Austin Ten saloon car and the military specification vehicle that was developed from it to produce a robust and dependable vehicle. The book shows how the roles of the military Austin Ten ranged from light deliveries, message carrying and reconnaissance. It was so popular that, after the war ended, it was used in civilian roles by demobbed servicemen starting new trades.Accompanied by both archive and modern photographs of both original and restored vehicles, this is an indispensable concise guide to one of the British armed forces’ most loved Second World War vehicles.
Democracy on a Tightrope
Democracy on a Tightrope explores the complex relationship between politics and bureaucracy in Brazil’s democratic development since the 1988 Constitution. Drawing from academic research and firsthand government experience, Pedro Abramovay and Gabriela Lotta examine how technocracy, meritocracy, and institutional power can both support and undermine democratic governance. Through vivid case studies—from drug policy to the Internet Bill of Rights—the book reveals how balancing political legitimacy with bureaucratic expertise is essential to building an inclusive, participatory democracy that resists authoritarian drift.
