Pašerácká kronika


Dodnes trochu přehlížený sbor finanční stráže je spojován především s událostmi na podzim 1938 v pohraničí ČSR, kdy jeho muži zařazení do Stráže obrany státu nesli hlavní tíhu bojů se Sudetoněmeckým Freikorpsem a posléze i při nepokojích v polském a maďarském pohraničí. Hlavní náplní činnosti sboru po většinu existence první ČSR ale bylo potírání podloudnictví – pašeráctví. Jaká byla realita oproti naším romantickým představám pašeráků, poznamenaných legendami o Nikolovi Šuhajovi? Boj mezi financi a pašeráky byl veden mnohdy doslova na život a na smrt, zvláště ve východních oblastech ČSR. Pašerácká kronika sleduje rok po roce události související s působením finanční stráže v oblastech rozdělených na rakouskou, bavorskou, saskou, slezskou, polskou a maďarskou hranici, samostatně je sledována oblast Podkarpatské Rusi. Zařazeno bylo celkem 961 příběhů a afér z let 1919–1938. Hlavní náplní činnosti sboru po většinu existence první ČSR ale bylo potírání podloudnictví – pašeráctví. Jaká byla realita oproti naším romantickým představám pašeráků, poznamenaných legendami o Nikolovi Šuhajovi?

Wrangling Pelicans


A richly detailed history of daily life for colonial Spanish soldiers surviving on the eighteenth-century Texas Gulf Coast. In 1775, Spanish King Carlos III ordered the capture of American pelicans for his wildlife park in Madrid. The command went to the only Spanish fort on the Texas coast-Presidio Nuestra SeNora de Loreto de la BahÍa in present-day Goliad. But the overworked soldiers stationed at the fort had little interest indulging a king an ocean away. Their days were consumed with guarding their community against powerful Indigenous peoples and managing the demands of frontier life. The royal order went ignored. Wrangling Pelicans brings to life the world of Presidio La BahÍa’s Hispano soldiers, whose duties ranged from heated warfare to high-stakes diplomacy, while their leisure pursuits included courtship, card playing, and cockfighting. It highlights the lives of presidio women and reveals the ways the Spanish legal system was used by and against the soldiers as they continually negotiated their roles within the empire and their community. Although they were agents of the Spanish crown, soldiers at times defied their king and even their captain as they found ways to assert their autonomy. Offering a fresh perspective on colonial Texas, Wrangling Pelicans recreates the complexities of life at the empire’s edge, where survival mattered more than royal decrees.

Self-Help Industry, The


This work critically analyses the self-help industry, tracing its evolution from 19th-century moral guidance to toda? multi-billion-pound enterprise. It provides an incisive overview examining how self-hel? promise of empowerment has shifted from a community-focused ideal to a relentless, often isolating pursuit of personal success. Through a detailed exploration, The Self-Help Industr? issects the oversimplifications and individualistic biases that pervade self-help literature, uncovering the limitations of its 'one-size-fits-all'?philosophy. It highlights the darker side of the relentless tyranny of optimism, showing how the industr? embrace of toxic positivity has a detrimental effect and influences everything from corporate culture to social media. The Self-Help Industry addresses the paradox at the heart of self-help: while it claims to enable growth, it often leaves readers feeling inadequate. De Oliveira critiques the commodification of personal development, questioning the ethics of profiting from promises of transformation. A critical look at self-hel? success stories reveals how they obscure complex realities, ultimately reinforcing unrealistic expectations. The Self-Help Industr? dvocates for a shift toward collective, systemic approaches to empowerment, calling for a focus on community, social justice, and liberation. This thought-provoking work is essential for anyone rethinking their path to well-being.

Nakam


The true story of a vigilante group of Holocaust survivors who conspired to kill six million Germans Nakam (Hebrew for "vengeance") tells the story of "the Avengers" (Nokmim), a group of young Holocaust survivors led by poet and resistance fighter Abba Kovner, who undertook a mission of revenge against Germany following the crimes of the Holocaust. Motivated by both the atrocities they had endured and the realization that murderous antisemitic attacks on survivors continued long after the Nazi surrender, these fifty young men and women sought retaliation at a level commensurate with the devastation caused by the Holocaust, making clear to the world that Jewish blood would no longer be shed with impunity. Had they been successful, they would have poisoned city water supplies and loaves of bread distributed to German POWs, with the aim of killing six million Germans. Kovner and his followers went to great lengths to carry out their plans, going so far as to obtain the schematics for Nuremberg's municipal water system, secure large quantities of poison, infiltrate a POW camp and the bakery that supplied it, and distribute poisoned bread to prisoners—but their plots were ultimately stymied. Most of the members of Nakam eventually returned to Israel, where for decades many of them refused to speak publicly about their roles in the group. While the Avengers' story began to come to light in the 1980s, details of the relations between the group and Zionist leadership and the motivations of its members have remained unknown. Drawing on rich archival sources and in-depth interviews with the Avengers in their later years, historian Dina Porat examines the formation of the group and the clash between the formative humanistic values held by its members and their unrealized plans for violent retribution.

Capitalism - A Global History


A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book. Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics. Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

Šabat jako vzdor


Co pro nás dnes znamená přikázání „světit den odpočinku“? Není to jen fráze z jiného věku? Walter Brueggemann ukazuje, že právě v době nepřetržitého provozu, tlaku na výkon a všeobecného vyčerpání má šabat nečekanou sílu. Připomíná biblický kontrast mezi zotročujícím faraonským režimem roboty bez oddechu a Božím světem, kde čas je darem a život se nežije v hrůze z nedostatku a honbě za blahobytem, ale v důvěře v laskavou péči Stvořitele o jeho stvoření. Den odpočinku nás učí čelit strachu, vzdorovat logice trhu a znovu zakoušet svobodu, která nám byla darována.

Who Will Defend Europe


Russia is intent on attacking beyond Ukraine. Can Europe defend itself? While Ukraine holds back Russia’s onslaught, Moscow has been working hard at rebuilding its army for the next invasion. But for the past 30 years, Britain and Europe have been running down their armed forces and defence industries, thinking that war would never come. Most of the continent banked an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend’ while outsourcing defence to the United States. Now, change in the US and clear intent from the Kremlin have set Europe scrambling to rebuild its defences. But will it be enough, and can it be in time? In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. If the freedom and prosperity that the continent takes for granted are to be preserved, the sacrifices required will affect everyone, without exception. Above all, Giles calls for new leadership in defence of Europe as the US steps aside?and warns that the UK’s brief opportunity to set the pace has already been squandered.

Píseň buňky - Proměny medicíny a lidského těla


Americký onkolog, vědec a spisovatel, dobře známý i českým čtenářům díky překladům svých dřívějších významných děl Vládkyně všech nemocí. Příběh rakoviny (2015) a Gen. O dědičnosti v našich osudech (2019), která vyšla v nakladatelství Munipress, přichází s novým strhujícím příběhem. Píseň buňky vypráví o tom, jak vědci postupně objevovali a od 17. století i pozorovali buňky, základní jednotky živých organismů. O tom, jak se postupně učili poznávat životně důležitá vzájemná propojení, která vytvářejí tkáně, orgány a orgánové systémy, buněčnou provázanost, jež dává vzniknout tak úžasným fyziologickým funkcím, jako je imunita, reprodukce, schopnost vnímat, chápat, opravovat a omlazovat. Ale i o tom, co se stane, když buňky selžou a vývoj se zvrhne patologickým směrem. A konečně i o tom, jak díky neustálému rozšiřování a prohlubování lidských znalostí o buněčné fyziologii a patologii dochází k revolučním změnám v biologii a medicíně. Zlomenina kyčelního kloubu, zástava srdce, Alzheimerova choroba, selhání ledvin, artritida, zápal plic nebo covid – to vše nyní díky autorovi můžeme vidět zcela novým pohledem a chápat jako důsledek abnormálního fungování buněk nebo jejich systémů. Otevírá se nám tak cesta k novému druhu medicíny, která je založena na terapeutické úpravě buňky, vyvíjí nové léky, nové způsoby léčby a přináší nové cesty k uzdravování a proměně lidského těla. Poutavé odborné výklady, při nichž Mukherjee mistrovsky uplatňuje svůj vypravěčský talent, jsou protkány příběhy ze života dávných i současných badatelů, vlastními zážitky a někdy i bolestnými vzpomínkami na pacienty a přátele, které mu vzala nemoc.

Black History Is for Everyone


A longtime educator explores how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race, nation, and the stories we tell about who we are. Black history is under attack from powerful forces that seek to excise it from classrooms, libraries, and the popular imagination. Yet its opponents fail to understand a simple truth: the best education challenges our assumptions, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. In Black History Is for Everyone, Brian Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.” With warmth and immersive storytelling, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high, the effort is worth it.

Čína po Maovi


Uznávaný historik Frank Dikötter vypráví strhující příběh moderní historie Číny a jejího hospodářského vzestupu po katastrofě tzv. kulturní revoluce. Díky ojedinělému přístupu ke stovkám dosud nezveřejněných dokumentů z archivů komunistické strany nahlíží do zákulisí čínské politiky od smrti Velkého kormidelníka Maa až po Si Ťin-pchinga a mapuje bezprecedentní čtyřicetiletou transformaci země, která ji vynesla ze 126. příčky na pozici druhé největší ekonomiky světa. Autor přitom zpochybňuje naše představy a mýty o společnosti, která neochvějně kráčí vpřed a drží krok s rytmem stranického bubnu, a místo toho odhaluje bouřlivý vývoj plný svárů, palácových intrik, občanské neposlušnosti, protikorupčních čistek či stínového bankovnictví a systému dvojích cen. Zkoumá, jakým způsobem Čína proplula finanční krizí roku 2008, jak roste její nepřátelství vůči Západu a proč se země vyvíjí v tuhou diktaturu s rozsáhlým bezpečnostním aparátem a nejpropracovanějším systémem sledování občanů na světě. Z této velkolepé knihy je více než patrné, že cílem komunistické strany nikdy nebylo připojit se k demokratickému světu, ale vzdorovat mu – a nakonec ho porazit.
