Umění brát život s lehkostí
Kniha Umění brát život s lehkostí je inspirací k prožití života s lehkostí. Marie Luise Ritterová v ní velmi osobním a nemilosrdně upřímným stylem vypráví příběhy o tom, jak zachovat klid ve stresujících situacích, jak čelit výzvám a radovat se ze života. Píše o lidech, které potkala, o okamžicích, jež ji v životě posunuly novým směrem, o dobrodružstvích a nových začátcích, o důležitých i drobných výzvách svého života a o tom, jak jí umožnily růst. Kniha vypráví také o tom, jak znovu získat do života lehkost, pokud ji ztratíte a jak zůstat v klidu, když dlouhou dobu čelíte množství frustrací – jak po zamyšlení a se správným přístupem věci přijmout a ve všech životních situacích najít cestu zpátky k lehkosti ducha a brát život takový, jaký je.

Aristotelés - O částech živočichů, Kniha první
První kniha spisu O částech živočichů představuje Aristotelův ucelený a samostatný metodologický úvod do studia živé přírody.

Historiam videre
Když se J. A. Komenský dostal ve svém Věcném pansofickém slovníku k pojmu historia, začal etymologií: „Slovo je odvozeno od historeo vidím, hledím. Vlastně je to tedy to, co člověk viděl na vlastní oči.“ Není však historie něčím, co už z definice minulo, a stěží tak může být dostupné smyslovému poznání? V období raného novověku byla taková maxima nejen myslitelná, nýbrž explicitně proklamovaná. Zdaleka přitom nešlo o pouhý básnický obrat. Jednalo se o celý soubor textových, epistemologických a grafických praxí, s jejichž pomocí se historiografie šestnáctého a sedmnáctého století profilovala jako modelový empirický postup produkce a reprezentace vědění. A třebaže dějepisectví Jednoty bratrské je zpravidla nahlíženo jako typický příklad konfesijně vyhraněné produkce, která rezignovala na základní historiografický imperativ psát o dějinách sine ira et studio a nekriticky hájila stranické zájmy společenství, v jehož službách stála, v kontextu empirické epistemologie a jejích centrálních kategorií se dostává do jiného světla.
Dosýta
Možno si na sebe všímaš, že venuješ jedlu viac času a pozornosti než by bolo prirodzené a prínosné. Možno
máš pocit, že jedlo ti „prerástlo“ cez hlavu a je pre teba náročné sa z tohto otroctva vymaniť.
Kniha Dosýta priamo a úprimne otvára tému nezdravého vzťahu k jedlu, ktorá je v našej spoločnosti čoraz
aktuálnejšia. Asheritah Ciuciu v nej hovorí o tom, že prílišná zameranosť na jedlo je z psychologického
hľadiska formou závislosti, zatiaľ čo z duchovného pohľadu je modloslužbou. Vysvetľuje, že fixácia na jedlo
je ako hradba, ktorá nás „blokuje“ a obmedzuje. Je to niečo, čo v našom živote získalo neprimerane dôležité
miesto a do veľkej miery ovplyvňuje naše myšlienky, rozhodnutia, emócie, vzťahy a aj duchovný život. Ak sa
nezdravo „pútame“ k jedlu, môžeme po čase vnímať, že v našom živote niektoré veci nie sú v poriadku, že je
tu „niečo“, čo nám kradne pozornosť a schopnosť sústrediť sa a čo v nás vyvoláva pocity skľúčenosti,
smútku, hanby, zlyhania, až beznádeje.
To neznie ako život dosýta, však? Pretože ani nie je. Jedlo nás totiž nikdy skutočne a natrvalo neuspokojí,
nachvíľu nasýti naše telo, no nedokáže nasýtiť našu dušu. Ježiš áno. A práve o tom hovorí kniha Dosýta.
Ukazuje spôsob ako sa od fixácie na jedlo oslobodiť. Ako nájsť útechu tam, kde na nás čaká...

Sun and Ssukgat
A charming guide to living a longer, happier, healthier life, rooted in Korean self-care
For centuries, Korean families have shared wellbeing wisdom with loved ones, like gifted heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, to prevent and treat early illness. The idea is to stop symptoms before they become chronic, taking inspiration from the ssukgat, or chrysanthemum greens, that are treasured in Korean culture for their ability to heal. Natural, effective, and environmentally conscious, these solutions quietly and radically shift conventional Western thought.
Eco-entrepreneur Michelle Jungmin Bang takes readers on a journey across Korea - from scenic mountains with Buddhist nuns to a seaside village with the haenyeo divers of Jeju Island, and the urban landscapes of Seoul to the much-loved, bustling bathhouses for young and old. Reflecting on how we can live sustainably and reconnect with nature, Michelle offers insight into Korean cultural concepts like jeong, the connection linking loved ones and places, and shares delicious, nourishing recipes inspired by her grandmother's kitchen.
Blending travel, experience, research, recipes and Michelle's beautiful illustrations, Sun & Ssukgat will empower readers with the age-old advice needed to escape the whirlwind of modern life and embrace a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
A Training School for Elephants
In 1879, King Leopold II of Belgium launched an ambitious plan to plunder Africa's resources. The key to cracking open the continent, or so he thought, was its elephants - if only he could train them.
And so he commissioned the charismatic Irish adventurer Frederick Carter to ship four tamed Asian elephants from India to the East African coast, where they were marched inland towards Congo. The ultimate aim was to establish a training school for African elephants.
Following in the footsteps of the four elephants, Roberts pieces together the story of this long-forgotten expedition, in travels that take her to Belgium, Iraq, India, Tanzania and Congo. The storytelling brings to life a compelling cast of historic characters and modern voices, from ivory dealers to Catholic nuns, set against rich descriptions of the landscapes travelled.
Roberts digs deep into historic records to reckon with our broken relationship with animals, revealing an extraordinary - and enduring - story of colonial greed, ineptitude, hypocrisy and folly.

The House Divided
At the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and the slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Kerbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East.
The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Rogerson's original approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at each through its particular history of empires and occupiers, minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.
Waste Wars
A riveting investigation into the dark underbelly of the global trash trade - a dirty, multi-billion-dollar industry that almost no one knows exists.
The total mass of the world's manmade materials has recently come to equal the entire biomass of the earth. This means we are living in a world where man's ability to create garbage, or eventual garbage, has surpassed the earth's ability to create life. Dumps and landfills around the world are overflowing, and disputes about what to do with the tons of garbage generated every day have given rise to waste wars waged in just about every country on earth. Some are border skirmishes, fought to move trash out of one place and dump it into another. Others are waged across thousands of miles.
But no matter the scale, one thing is true about almost all of them: few people have any idea they're happening. For every story about how a commodity gets hustled through world supply chains for consumption, there exists another untold story about how it gets discarded for renewal - or for eternity. Some trash gets tossed onto roadsides. Some gets burned for fuel. Some gets buried underground. But most of it lives a hot potato second life, getting bartered, sold, re-sold, smuggled, salvaged, re-purposed from one country or mafia or corporation
to another, with devastating consequences for millions of people.
Waste Wars tells the stories of five trash conflicts being waged in different corners of the world right now. They are representative but rich strands in the story of our planet's runaway garbage pandemic. In each theater, a different commodity is being smuggled or imported or bartered. Sometimes there is a winner; sometimes there is a loser. And in each theater a different political dilemma - from global inequality to the pitfalls of green politics - is presenting itself through the seemingly pedestrian medium of trash. A globe-trotting work of relentless investigative reporting, Waste Wars exposes the multi-billion-dollar global garbage trade in which almost everyone in the world unknowingly engages and asks: If the handling of its trash reveals deeper truths about a particular society, what does the global business of trash say about our world today?
Who's Afraid of Gender?
From one of the most influential thinkers of our time, an enlightening, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world
Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed 'anti-gender ideology movements' dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization - and even 'man' himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights.
But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how 'gender' has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations and transexclusionary feminists, and the concrete ways in which this phantasm works. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.
An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a galvanizing call to make a broad coalition with all those who struggle for equality and fight injustice. Imagining new possibilities for freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless.
The Technological Republic
From the Palantir co-founder and The Economist's 'best CEO of 2024,' and his deputy, a sweeping indictment of the West's culture of complacency and a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality.
Our most brilliant engineering minds once collaborated with government to advance world-changing technologies. Their efforts secured the West's dominant place in the geopolitical order. But that relationship has now eroded, with perilous repercussions.
In this groundbreaking treatise, one of tech's boldest thinkers and his longtime deputy offer a searing critique of our collective abandonment of ambition. Palantir co-founder and CEO Alexander C. Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska argue that in order for the West to retain its global edge-and preserve the freedoms we take for granted-the software industry must renew its commitment to addressing our most urgent challenges, including the new arms race of artificial intelligence. Government, in turn, must embrace the most effective features of the engineering mindset that have propelled Silicon Valley's success.
Above all, leaders must reject intellectual fragility and preserve space for ideological confrontation. A willingness to risk the disapproval of the crowd, Karp and Zamiska contend, has everything to do with technological and economic out-performance.
At once iconoclastic and rigorous, this book will also lift the veil on Palantir and its broader political project from the inside, offering a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality.
The War Below
The trillion-dollar battle for the resources to power our future. Oil and gas defined the twentieth century. Now lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths and nickel will define the twenty-first.
The world is moving towards replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. But building electric vehicles, solar panels, and millions of other devices requires digging more mines. Critical minerals are vital to many sustainable technologies, and the competition for them is intensifying.
Nations aspiring to energy independence are ever more intertwined: a hedge fund manager's attempt to revive rare earths mining in California needs Chinese expertise, and global reliance on Africa's mining sector persists despite child labour concerns. Meanwhile, ecological dilemmas abound: a proposed lithium mine in Nevada may help car manufacturers slash their dependence on fossil fuels, but developing the mine may cause the extinction of a flower found nowhere else on the planet.
As investors attempt to predict how resource extraction's geopolitics will unfold, this is a story of industry giants, researchers, and policymakers at the forefront of the new energy wars.

Rites of Passage
In Rites of Passage, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders deconstructs the intricate, fascinating, and occasionally - to modern eyes - bizarre customs that grew up around death and mourning in Victorian Britain.
Through stories from the sickbed to the deathbed, from the correct way to grieve and to give comfort to those grieving, to funerals and burials and the reaction of those left behind, Flanders illuminates how living in nineteenth-century Britain was, in so many ways, dictated by dying.
This is an engrossing, deeply researched and, at times, chilling social history of a period plagued by infant death, poverty, disease, and unprecedented change. In elegant, often witty prose, Flanders brings the Victorian way of death vividly to life.
Read Write Own
The promise of the internet has been stolen.
Over the last decade, a handful of giant companies like Facebook and Google have seized control of the web – sapping its dynamism and taking its profits for themselves.
But there is a way to take it back.
Here, a leading Silicon Valley investor argues that blockchains – the radically free and democratic new type of software design that underpins ‘web3’ – could return financial and decision-making power to the internet’s users. For the first time, we won’t just read and write on the internet – we will own it, too.
