Soukromí v digitální době
S technickým rozvojem narůstají také možnosti zásahů do soukromí osob a přibývají i jejich nové formy. Zvláště závažnými jsou zásahy ve formě shromažďování a dalšího zpracování řady kategorií osobních údajů, často jde o zpracování hromadná, zpravidla plošného charakteru, dopadající na značná množství osob. Mnohá takováto zpracování jsou uložena obecně závaznými právními předpisy, nejde tak o zásahy samy o sobě protiprávní. Sledovaným účelem takových zpracování osobních údajů je často boj proti terorismu, mnohdy obecněji boj proti trestné činnosti, ale také např. usnadnění a kontrola výběru daní, či jiných dávek a další účely.
V předkládané publikaci autor rozebírá šest typových případů zpracování osobních údajů založených právními předpisy s nejzávažnějším dopadem do soukromí, včetně provedení testu proporcionality v jednotlivých případech. Na základě závěrů testu proporcionality autor navrhuje konkrétní kontrolní opatření s cílem eliminovat dopady do soukromé sféry v těchto případech i v případech budoucích dalších takových hromadných zpracování osobních údajů.

How Wars End
Do boycotts work? Should arms sales be stopped? What about supplying weapons to the good guys? In How Wars End an international expert explains how we can act to bring about peace in an age of escalating war.
In 2003 Jan van Aken almost helped stop a war. But as he was preparing to go to Baghdad to search for biological weapons, he got a message: the US was determined to avenge 9/11 and wouldn't wait for UN inspections to take place. The invasion went ahead, and only years later, the world discovered that Iraq had had no biological weapons at that time.
From this experience and the many others he has had as a weapons inspector, conflict analyst and activist, in How Wars End van Aken shows how conflict resolution really works. From disinformation and dodgy dossiers to chemical weapons and murderous drones, he identifies why wars start and spiral. And he looks at the alternatives, including civil initiatives, diplomacy, sanctions, and international interventions.
Interweaving the latest findings from peace research with stories and examples from Northern Ireland, Serbia, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, Israel-Palestine and more, How Wars End lays out evidence-based strategies for moving from violent conflict to ceasefire, and from ceasefire to lasting peace.

Thinking Machine
In June 2024, thirty-one years after it was founded in a diner, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. The Thinking Machine is the astonishing story of how a designer of videogame equipment conquered the market for AI hardware, and in the process reinvented the computer.
Essential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors and his employees, Stephen Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its single-minded and ferocious leader, now one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures.
The Thinking Machine is the story of how Nvidia evolved to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers. It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing, becoming one of the wealthiest men alive. It is the story of a revolution in computer architecture, and the small group of renegade engineers who made it happen. And it’s the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future, which Huang has billed as the ‘next industrial revolution,’ as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars, autonomous robots, self-driving cars and new movies, art and books, generated on command.
This is the story of the company that is inventing the future.
Mythica
Award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece's greatest legends, and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey . . .
Contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men - and it's not only men's stories that deserve to be told.
In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world's greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer's epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women - queens, mothers, warriors, slaves - were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not - until now) remembered them.
A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer's epics charted entirely by women - from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope - Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece's greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.
You’re All Talk
Why do we have different accents and where do they come from? Why do you say ‘tomayto’ and I say ‘tomahto’? And is one way of speaking better than another?
In You’re All Talk, linguist Rob Drummond explores the enormous diversity in our spoken language to reveal extraordinary insights into how humans operate: how we perceive (and judge) other people and how we would like ourselves to be perceived. He investigates how and why we automatically associate different accents with particular social characteristics ? degrees of friendliness, authority, social class, level of education, race, and so on ? and how we, consciously or subconsciously, change the way we speak in order to create different versions of ourselves to fit different environments.
Ultimately, You’re All Talk demonstrates the beauty of linguistic diversity and how embracing it can give us a better understanding of other people ? and ourselves.
Lesbians: Where are we now?
?What does it mean to be a lesbian now? Has the quest for lesbian liberation stalled, and if so, why?
Part-memoir, part frontline reportage and part cultural commentary, Julie Bindel examines what defines lesbian culture, love, friendship and happiness today. She distinguishes the particular challenges facing lesbians from the very different experiences of gay men, and asks: why do lesbians so often seem to face particular hostility? Comparing past attitudes to today, she argues that lesbians continue to suffer from bigotry and discrimination because sexism and enforced gendered roles are still left unchallenged. She explores why many of the biggest assaults on lesbian freedom and wellbeing around the world now come, not just from conservatives, but also from so-called progressives, who are often antagonistic to lesbians organising and socialising autonomously.
Rooted in her own remarkable story, this personal and passionate book is both an investigation into the obstacles to lesbian flourishing, and a testament to the particular delights of being a lesbian.
Alien Earths
For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether we're alone in the cosmos. Now, for the first time, we have the technology to investigate. The question should have an obvious answer: yes or no. But once you try to find life elsewhere, you realize it is not so simple. How do you find it over cosmic distances? What actually is life?
Astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger works from Carl Sagan’s former office at Cornell University, where she built a team of tenacious scientists from many disciplines to find life on faraway worlds, using Earth’s diverse biosphere and its history as a Rosetta Stone. With infectious enthusiasm, she provides an eye-opening insider’s guide to the most unusual exoplanets that have shaken our worldview – planets covered in oceans of lava, lonely wanderers lost in space, and others with more than one sun in their sky – as well as the best contenders for Alien Earths. She also shows how close imagined scifi worlds come to reality.
We live in an incredible new epoch of exploration. As our witty and knowledgeable tour guide, Professor Kaltenegger shows how we discover not merely new continents, like the explorers of old, but whole new worlds circling other stars – and how we could spot life there. Worlds from where aliens may even be gazing back at us. What if we're not alone?
Creative Leadership
The old, top-down approach to leadership doesn't work any more. What we need is a more flexible, creative approach – one that empowers people to do their best work, rather than tells them to do so.
In Creative Leadership, Rama Gheerawo applies the mind of a design expert to the twenty-first-century organisation. In particular, his book shows how success in the future will increasingly be dependent on a mastery of three basic principles: creativity, clarity and empathy. Drawing on his own experience in leading over 100 design projects with government, business and the third sector, it sets out a blueprint for engagement and success that applies to everything from small enterprises, to large multinationals.
Wreckers
Wreckers sinks the old narratives of imperialism, revealing the violent, chaotic and improvised reality of empire-building from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries.
'Clever and compelling book. The storytelling and the scholarship fairly spark off each other. It could be a model for how academics should write history for a general audience' The Times
'a flowing, gripping narrative, Wreckers is distinguished by enchanting stories' Peter Moore, Literary Review
While figures such as Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan are celebrated for their maritime achievements - reaching the Americas, India, and circumnavigating the globe - focusing solely on these voyages distorts our perspective on the past. Many explorers ended up as castaways, clinging to the splintered timbers of their wrecked ships, while those who survived often faced resistance and ridicule from indigenous communities across the globe.
Drawing on maritime stories from various languages and continents - from Brazil and Southeast Africa to India and the Philippines - Wreckers shares dramatic tales of the sea and the events on land that followed. This offers an alternative timeline for the century after Columbus' 1492 voyage and sheds light on the fractures and fault lines that accompanied the increasing geographical range of European ships.
Simon Park argues that even when Europeans arrogantly claimed their own superiority, the truth was that they were often driven by a profound sense of greed and envy, and their actions included numerous mishaps. For example, in his hunt for gold, Martin Frobisher - who fancied himself England's Columbus and Cortés combined - transported worthless rocks across the Atlantic by the tonne. In the search for spices, Captain and profiteer Manuel de Sousa de Sepúlveda's ship was so overladen, it spewed its fragrant cargo when it crashed off the coast of South Africa. Moreover, in every place they went, Europeans depended on local know-how and goodwill - relying on indigenous knowledge of languages, geography, food and medicines.
Wreckers reveals the precarious balance between imperious European powers, cunning locals who colluded to further their own agendas, and others who showed great tenacity in their resistance to European incursions. By focusing on stories of failure, defiance and comeuppance, Wreckers - a term Park uses to refer both to those who were wrecked and those involved in wrecking - offers a gripping and original account of a tumultuous period. It challenges the notion of unstoppable European dominance and enables a reimagining of history as a space of possibilities then, now and in the future.
Listy filozofom
Od mladosti som pracoval ako historik filozofie, zaoberal som sa slovenskou i európskou filozofiou, najmä osvietenskou. Výsledky som uverejnil v mnohých štúdiách a vo viacerých knihách. Pri styku s niektorými filozofmi minulosti zostalo mi však čosi osobnejšie, čo som vtedy nenapísal. Časť z toho im adresujem teraz. Na ich oslovenie som si zvolil formu listu. Nie je vo filozofii nová. Listy písali už Platón, Epikuros, Seneca, Pascal a mnohí iní. Kým však títo autori svojich adresátov aj poúčali, ja som ďaleko od toho, aby som poúčal Platóna, Voltaira či Poppera. Mám však výhrady voči niektorým ich názorom, a tie im predkladám. V listoch možno byť osobnejší, dôvernejší, štýl môže byť voľnejší, možno povedať všeličo, čo sa do štúdie nehodí.
Využívam túto možnosť a píšem predovšetkým o problémoch, ktoré sa ma osobne, ba bytostne dotýkajú, ktoré ma sprevádzajú a pália už desaťročia a ktoré sa ani týmito Listami neriešia. Možno však nájdu u niektorých čitateľov odozvu. Nie sú totiž len moje osobné, ale sú to problémy storočí a tisícročí.

Rozmýšľam príliš veľa
Kto by si pomyslel, že inteligencia môže byť príčinou utrpenia a nešťastia? A predsa ku mne na konzultácie často prichádzajú ľudia, ktorí sa sťažujú, že premýšľajú až príliš. Myseľ im nedopraje ani chvíľu pokoja, dokonca ani v noci. Sú otrávení vlastnými pochybnosťami, otázkami, ostrým uvedomovaním si reality. Sužujú ich príliš vyvinuté zmysly, ktorým neunikne žiadny detail. Najradšej by „vypli“ svoju myseľ, no trpia predovšetkým tým, že sa cítia byť iní, nepochopení a zranení dnešným svetom. Väčšinou si len povzdychnú: „Asi nie som z tejto planéty.“ Kniha, ktorú držíte v rukách, je akýmsi manuálom pre tieto nadmerne výkonné mozgy.
Christel Petitcollin je psychoterapeutka, mentorka, rečníčka a spisovateľka v oblasti komunikácie a osobného rozvoja. S nadšením sa venuje medziľudským vzťahom a svojim knihám dokáže vdýchnuť čaro jednoduchosti, zrozumiteľnosti a praktickosti. Jej predchádzajúca kniha Ako sa vytrhnúť z rúk manipulátora (Échapper aux manipulateurs) zožala u čitateľov veľký úspech.

A Little History of the World
The internationally bestselling guide to the extraordinary human story, for the curious of all ages
The world has existed for over 4 billion years, but humanity arrived much more recently. Here E. H. Gombrich brings to life the full story of human experience on Earth. He paints a colourful picture of remarkable people and events, from Confucius to Catherine the Great, from the invention of art to the destruction of the Berlin Wall.
This is a book dominated not by dates and facts but by the sweep of mankind's experience across the centuries. It is both a guide to humanity's achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this is a timeless account of our shared history.
Little Histories - Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds
A Little History of Literature
A vibrant guide to the world of literature, from dramatic plays to engrossing novels
Literature has inspired every civilisation, from Greek myth to today’s graphic novels. John Sutherland, who has researched, taught and written on the entire glorious span of human literary activity, here guides readers on a journey ‘through the looking glass’ to show how literature from across the world can transport us, transfix us, and teach us about ourselves.
He introduces key works, from the Epic of Gilgamesh and Shakespeare to T.S. Eliot, George Orwell and Margaret Atwood, and looks afresh at literature’s links to power, identity and taste. From the rude jokes within Anglo-Saxon riddles to the guilty pleasures of potboilers and fan fiction, this celebratory guide offers wit, humour and deep learning to all who enjoy literature, and who want to understand it anew.

Toxická feminita
Odvážná kniha o tom, jak ženám škodí představy o ženství
Není možné být ženou jen tak, bez přívlastků. Být žena znamená být nějaká žena, většinou podle kulturně a společensky narýsovaných standardů: nejdřív hodná holka, pak silná, nezávislá superwoman, potom starostlivá máma, a občas i pořádná mrcha. Všechny tyto role jsou pro ženy svazující — ale jako každá společenská role také automatické a neuvědomované, často pohodlné a někdy i výhodné. Sophia Fritz ve své brilantní knize Toxická feminita s nekompromisní a odvážnou upřímností jednotlivé role a stereotypní podoby ženství pojmenovává, rozkládá na prvočinitele a ukazuje, v čem jsou pro ženy, ale i pro muže a celou společnost zraňující a škodlivé.

Nakam
Autorka se věnuje skupině Nakam, polovojenské organizaci přeživších holokaustu, kterou vedl Aba Kovner a která plánovala genocidní pomstu na německém národě. Kniha je výsledkem mnohaletého výzkumu, během nějž poprvé úplně a komplexně zdokumentovala činnost skupiny. Tato organizace "Mstitelů" čítala asi padesát mladých mužů a žen, kteří po druhé světové válce plánovali vyvraždit šest milionů Němců jako pomstu za holokaust. Ačkoli kniha líčí snahu Židů pomstít se Němcům, Poratová poznamenává, že "většina Židů si spíše než cestu pomsty zvolila cestu pozitivní: budování země, zakládání komunit a rodin". Právě toto považuje za zásluhu židovského národa: "Navzdory všemu, co jim bylo provedeno, si drtivá většina z nich vybrala život."
A Little History of Mathematics
A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and across the globe
Mathematics is fundamental to our daily lives. Science, computing, economics—all aspects of modern life rely on some kind of maths. But how did our ancestors think about numbers? How did they use mathematics to explain and understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from?
In this Little History, Snezana Lawrence traces the fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers. Like literature, music, or philosophy, mathematics has a rich history of breakthroughs, creativity and experimentation. And its story is a global one. We see Chinese Mathematical Art from 200 BCE, the invention of algebra in Baghdad's House of Wisdom, and sangaku geometrical theorems at Japanese shrines. Lawrence goes beyond the familiar names of Newton and Pascal, exploring the prominent role women have played in the history of maths, including Emmy Noether and Maryam Mirzakhani.
