The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories
Who believes in conspiracy theories, and why are some people more susceptible to them than others? What are the consequences of such beliefs? Has a conspiracy theory ever turned out to be true? The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories debunks the myth that conspiracy theories are a modern phenomenon, exploring their broad social contexts, from politics to the workplace. The book explains why some people are more susceptible to these beliefs than others and how they are produced by recognizable and predictable psychological processes. Updated throughout and now featuring examples from the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2021 Capitol Hill riots, this new edition of The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories shows us that while such beliefs are not always irrational and are not a pathological trait, they can be harmful to individuals and society.
Psychologie probouzení
V knize Psychologie probouzení shrnuje John Welwood své celoživotní hledání propojení mezi východními duchovními tradicemi a západní psychologií. Vychází z přesvědčení, že lidská přirozenost má tři základní dimenze – nadosobní (duchovní), osobní (psychologickou) a meziosobní (vztahovou) – které je třeba chápat v jednotě. Tradiční duchovní směry Východu se přitom zaměřují na nadčasový aspekt bytí, zatímco západní psychologie zkoumá především osobní a mezilidskou rovinu.
Welwood vychází ze své vlastní cesty – od studia konvenční akademické psychologie, přes setkání se zenem a tibetským buddhismem, až po poznání, že meditace sama o sobě nestačí k plnému uzdravení a růstu. Duchovní praxe mu sice otevřela nové vnímání skutečnosti, ale zároveň odhalila, že neřeší všechny osobní a vztahové problémy. Psychoterapie mu naopak umožnila nahlédnout skryté vzorce chování a integrálně je zpracovat. Postupně dospěl k závěru, že psychologie a duchovní praxe se navzájem potřebují – psychologie pomáhá rozpoznávat a léčit nevědomé struktury ega, zatímco spiritualita umožňuje jejich transcendenci.
Welwood proto navrhuje syntézu obou přístupů – psychologii probouzení, která zkoumá, jak se proces duchovního uvědomění promítá do psychického života a jak psychologická práce může podpořit duchovní růst. Autor zdůrazňuje, že smyslem této knihy není ani „psychologizovat buddhismus“, ani „spiritualizovat psychologii“, nýbrž ukázat jejich doplňující se povahu. Výsledkem je výzva k celistvému pojetí lidského bytí – propojujícímu tělo, srdce, mysl a ducha v jednom živém, soucitném celku.
Mother of Capital
Rent, or unearned income, is a pervasive concept in contemporary economics. Economists of all stripes see today's global economy as riddled with harmful rents, but most deny these are intrinsic to capitalism, and insist they can be eliminated with the right policies. It begs the question, why is rent theory so critical of the present but so optimistic about the futur? n Mother of Capital, Matthew Costa delves into the intellectual and social history of rent to solve this puzzle. Centring rent as the engine of capitalism's historical emergence in medieval Europe, he offers a groundbreaking, systematic history of rent and rent theory. The book also traces the history of resistance to rent from below, and unearths a neglected body of critical rent theory. Weaving complex strands of social and intellectual history into a vivid, lively, and original explanation of how the society we live in came to be, Costa makes a bold intervention into contemporary debates about the origins and future of capitalism, the nature of social change, and of history itself.
Hunger Inc.
Since 2020, we have seen a huge increase in the demand for charitable food aid, due to multiple political and economic crises. Initially seen as an emergency measure, corporate-backed food aid programs are now entrenched 'solutions' to hunger. But who really benefits from the? ayleigh Garthwaite travelled across Britain, North America and Europe, working with food banks, co-ops, urban farms and food justice organisations. She documents the limitations of these programs, and how institutionalising charitable food aid absolves governments of their responsibility to ensure that people have a right to food. As hunger and inequality continue to rise within advanced capitalist countries, this issue is more urgent than ever. Kayleigh Garthwaite proposes radical key policies for governments and explores alternative community-led responses grounded in solidarity, not charity, to end the need for food aid before the indignity of food banks becomes completely normalised.
Worker Cooperatives and Deep Democracy
Capitalism’s crisis is planetary. It is a system upending nature and society, causing many to live and work in despair. So far, the left has been incapable of inspiring an effective challenge to it. In Worker Cooperatives and Deep Democracy, Vishwas Satgar and Michelle Williams map a new transformative politics arising from inspiring worker cooperative systems that advance planetary care from below and which have the potential to undermine the capitalist status quo. Based on over a decade of research across 15 countries, the authors examine case studies that explore transformative approaches to social reproduction, public power, nature and territorial expansion in opposition to global hegemonic power. They also uncover the power of solidarities engendering emancipatory, utopian imaginaries in the global north and south. They show how, against all the odds, people are experimenting with deep democracy and building systems of care to live differently and exit the planetary crisis.
Novomeský & Horváth
Prečo vydávať v 21. storočí knihu o Lacovi Novomeskom a Ivanovi Horváthovi? Prečo si ich pripomínať? Aké Slovensko si predstavovala davistická generácia, ktorú označkovali ako „buržoáznych nacionalistov“? Vízia sociálne spravodlivého, vlasteneckého, demokratického, antifašistického, humanistického Slovenska mierovo spolunažívajúceho so svojimi susedmi, tvoriac most medzi človečenstvom Východu a kultivovanosťou Západu, ktoré si je vedomé tak modernity, ako aj historickej kontinuity s generáciami dejateľov od 19. storočia po Slovenské národné povstanie. To bola idea, za ktorú boli väznení, mučení, usmrtení a napokon dvakrát vymazaní z dejín. Také osobnosti ako Novomeský, Horváth, ale aj Clementis a Mináč, ktorým bol venovaný prvý diel tejto série, patria do panteónu osobností 20. storočia, ktoré zanechali v slovenských dejinách hlbokú stopu a pozitívny príklad intelektu, odvahy a odhodlania meniť svet, Európu či národ.
Vyše 300 stranová monografia obsahuje unikátne a originálne texty od akademikov, spisovateľov (profesorov, docentov a doktorov D. Hajka, M. Muránskeho, P. Pareničku, B. Fábryho, J. Leikerta, S.

Canfield Drive
Winner of the 2026 Missouri Conference on History Book AwardOn August 9, 2014, Michael Brown and a friend were walking down Canfield Drive, a residential street in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. There, they encountered Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Moments later, Brown was dead on the street—shot by Wilson at least six times. That evening, a memorial appeared on the pavement where he had fallen. In the days that followed, vigils turned into protests, and protests into an Uprising, as police in riot gear faced off with a grieving, outraged community. For nearly two weeks, Ferguson commanded the nation’s attention. The killing of Michael Brown was an outrage and it should not have happened. But Canfield Drive was primed for tragedy long before that fatal encounter because the street was already a place of racial conflict. This was no accident. Canfield Drive: A History of Race and the American City on a Street in St. Louis uncovers the deeper history behind the street where Brown died, tracing how race and the built environment have long intersected in St. Louis—from the city’s founding to the Ferguson Uprising. The book follows the story of Black space across two centuries: from early Black communities, to the birth of the St. Louis Blues, to the Halcyon days of The Ville, to the destruction of Mill Creek Valley, to the tragedy of Pruitt-Igoe, and to the construction of Canfield Drive. Though Canfield Drive is the first comprehensive history of St. Louis’s Black urban landscape, it is more than just St. Louis's story. Canfield Drive details the racial engineering of the American city. Here is the machinery of American segregation laid bare: occupancy covenants, court decisions, racial steering, white flight, public housing, voucher systems, and predatory policing that combine to transform neighborhoods into traps. Here too are the people who fought back, building community against staggering odds and securing civil rights reforms that transformed America's understanding of government's obligations to its citizens. Canfield Drive provides a powerful lens on the national story of race and the American city and reveals how Michael Brown's death was not just one officer's deadly decision, but the inevitable outcome of America's built environment—a tragedy centuries in the making, on a street designed for violence. This is how a place becomes a powder keg. This is how history erupts into headlines. This is the story behind the story that America couldn't look away from. This is the story of how a street came to matter, and how it came to stand for something far greater than itself.
Student Odyssey During World War Two
Slovenský spisovateľ a historik Jozef Leikert sa štyridsať rokov zaoberá študentskými udalosťami po 17. novembri 1939, keď nacisti násilím zatvorili české vysoké školy, na ktorých študovalo aj veľa Slovákov. Na príkaz Adolfa Hitlera boli na výstrahu popravení deviati mladí ľudia a 1 222 študentov odvlečených do koncentračného tábora Sachsenhausen s cieľom zlikvidovať budúcu českú a sčasti aj slovenskú inteligenciu. V knihe sa podrobne píše o krutostiach, ktoré museli študenti prežiť v koncentráku, ale aj o tých českých a slovenských študentoch, ktorí utiekli do vznikajúcej československej zahraničnej armády. Bojovali vo Francúzsku a po kapitulácii krajiny sa premiestnili do Veľkej Británie, kde pomohli poraziť nemeckého nepriateľa. Niektorým študentom sa podarilo dokončiť štúdia na anglických vysokých školách a s anglickými študentmi založili 17. novembra 1941 Medzinárodný deň študentstva. Knihu preložil do angličtiny Jonathan Gresty a vyšla v Londýne.
The Railroad and the Pueblo Indians
The history of the railroad conquest of the West is well known, but the impact of western railroads on Native Americans has largely been ignored. Richard Frost examines the profound effects that the coming of trains had on Pueblo Indians in New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley. The arrival of the railroad was a social and cultural tsunami. It destroyed or damaged crops, livestock, irrigation ditches, community autonomy, privacy, and well-being. The trains brought lawyers, speculators, politicians, missionaries, anthropologists, timber thieves, health seekers, and government servants. American colonialism abetted the railroads, so that the Pueblos faced land and water confiscation, court cases, compulsory American education, and other transgressions. To be sure, the trains also brought farm tools, clothing for children, and customers for Pueblo pottery; but these were comparatively marginal benefits. The Pueblo communities responded variously, though mostly conservatively to sustain their traditional communities. This book spotlights two very different responses. Santo Domingo's reaction was hostile, but Laguna chose accommodation. These reactions reveal previously overlooked aspects of these pueblos’ histories that provide compelling reasons behind their varying responses. The book also analyzes the self-contradictory nature of Pueblo constitutional law from 1876 to 1913 and describes conflicted Bureau of Indian Affairs treatment of the Pueblos in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each in turn had fateful consequences.
At the Margins of Nihilism
The multi-century event of enslavement and colonialism changed the cultural and political imagination of the Atlantic world. We still live and work in the horizon of that event. It was an event that placed a violent Manichean structure of antiblackness at the foundation of our shared world. What kinds of life are possible in nihilistic, antiblack worlds of social death? Is it possible to imagine life outside the reach of those worlds? What decolonial methods help us understand that form of life in relation to expressive cultures of resistance and refusal? At the Margins of Nihilism develops a theoretical frame through a comparative reading of Jacques Derrida and Orlando Patterson. Reading between deconstruction and social death, Drabinski describes a notion of life as interstitial, situated outside the play of life and death in systems of antiblackness. This notion of life has broad epistemological, existential, and ontological implications. Drawing from a diverse set of sources including Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Gloria Anzaldúa, and others, At the Margins of Nihilism shows how the nihilisms of Richard Wright, Frantz Fanon, James Baldwin, and contemporary afropessimism operate as a closed system. Each system is opened by vernacular forms of life and practices of refusal. Those forms and practices speak to the power and significance of life that persists across centuries of antiblack culture, social life, and political hegemony.
Efekt rituálu
„Prečo nedáme dopustiť na niektoré svoje návyky a ako si vytvoriť také, ktoré nás budú obohacovať? Táto kniha vám pomôže ich zlepšiť a naplno využiť vlastný potenciál.“
S odkazom na bestsellery, ako sú Sila zvyku Charlesa Duhigga či Húževnatosť Angely Duckworthovej, ukazuje uznávaný sociálny psychológ, ako nenápadná premena návykov na rituály dokáže v našich životoch „vytvoriť kúsok priestoru pre každodennú mágiu“ (The Guardian).
Naše životy sú plné opakujúcich sa úloh, ktoré nás majú udržať v rytme. Nazývame ich návyky. Časom sa z týchto rutín (ako čistenie zubov alebo obliekanie pravej ponožky ako prvej) stanú automatické činnosti. Keď sa však pri nich viac sústredíme, napríklad venujeme pozornosť presnému spôsobu, akým ich vykonávame, môžu sa z nich stať rituály. Posun od „návyku“ k „rituálu“ dokáže premeniť aj obyčajné čierno-biele činnosti na pestrofarebné úkony.
Spomeňte si na to, ako si viete vychutnať určitý nápoj, s akou starostlivosťou siahnite po konkrétnom oblečení, ktoré nosíte len pri výnimočných príležitostiach, na jedinečný spôsob, akým sa vaša rodina schádza pri sviatočnom stole, alebo na tajný jazyk, ktorý máte so svojím partnerom či partnerkou. Niekomu môže takéto správanie pripadať zvláštne, no práve preto, že pre nás osobne má taký význam, dáva našim životom zmysel a účel. Na základe desaťročia vlastného výskumu Norton dokazuje, že rituály pomáhajú liečiť komunity poznačené veľkou stratou, sprevádzajú kľúčové životné zmeny, dokážu priviesť plné štadióny fanúšikov do extázy a pomáhajú nám čeliť výzvam a chopiť sa príležitostí.
Pútavá, podnetná a praktická kniha Efekt rituálov nám pripomína, že práve premyslené, zámerné úkony poháňajú naše správanie a sú prekvapivým zdrojom uspokojenia a radosti.

How Fathers Help their Children Develop
Fathers influence their children's development in many ways, including financially and emotionally, but the literature revealing how and why is limited. This book brings together theoretical orientations and different disciplinary lenses to the study of how and why fathers matter for children's development. It challenges the commonly held view that fathers are only economic providers and points to the complex interplay between the love fathers have for their children and the money they have (or not) to support them. By integrating developmental science with economics, and drawing on real-life examples from qualitative research, the authors argue that fatherhood is a tale of two stories: love and money.

German and Italian Tanks in Italy 1943–45
An expert guide to the tanks that fought for the Axis in the Italian Campaign between 1943 and 1945, the least-known armoured campaign of World War II.World War II came to Italian soil in 1943 with the landings in Sicily, which the Wehrmacht tried to crush using substantial Panzer offensives. Over the next two years the Allies fought their way north, through some of the most difficult terrain of the war, until the final battles in the Po Valley in the spring of 1945. In this book, world armour expert Steven J. Zaloga offers a unique survey of Axis armour in the campaign, including the many types of tanks used, their roles and battlefield performance. The Italians deployed a variety of tanks on Sicily in 1943 including war-booty Renault R 35 tanks as well as their best tank destroyer, the Semovente 90/53, while a little-known rump Italian fascist army remained in combat until 1945, equipped in some cases with German tanks. Meanwhile Germany began its campaign equipped with leftovers from North Africa, but later deployed a much more substantial Panzer force. After the armistice Italy''s industries continued to manufacture tanks for the Wehrmacht, giving it an exotic selection of both German and Italian tank types. Illustrated with superb new profiles and including many previously unpublished photos, this book is an essential guide to the tanks that fought the Axis’ least-known armoured campaigns.
From Mutiny to Revolt
Why did the nonviolent Meerut mutiny of 1857 in India explode into a violent military revolt? Breaking new ground on the events of May 10, William Pinch reexamines the evidence, shifting our focus toward the identity of female participants and their actions in the hours before the revolt began. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, including Hindi folksongs, military records, police reports, literary fiction, and Urdu memoir, he creates snapshots from the perspective of key figures to uncover the social and emotional world of the military 'cantonment' and its rural hinterland. By foregrounding the lives of ordinary 'military women' and 'their men' - the Indian sepoys who peopled the revolt - Pinch challenges conventional narratives and guides readers through the literary and historiographical echoes of the fateful decision to take up arms against the British.
