Za kostelem
Za kostelem se děje spousta věcí. Za kostelem vznikají první lásky, chodí se tam na cigaretu nebo vyčůrat, kritizuje se kázání, mluví se o vvěcech, o kterých v kostele ne a přitom by se možná mělo.
Není načase, abychom my kněží konečně vyšli ven za hlasy, kterým se nenaslouchá? Zejména za hlasy žen?

Co je mužům přirozenéé, mohou ženy rozvinout do nadpřirozeného.
I o tom je tato kniha.
Brief Dynamic Therapy
A comprehensively revised edition of this essential guide to brief dynamic therapy, an integrative, culturally-sensitive, time-efficient model of psychotherapy. In this third edition, Hannah Levenson provides the history and theoretical basis of time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP). In the years since the earlier editions, new research findings, including process-outcome studies, have affirmed the effectiveness of this treatment, while also detailing the process by which alliance ruptures are repaired in TLDP. New clinical research also helps illuminate the "reconsolidation process" in which sudden, dramatic change happens in brief dynamic therapy. TLDP is an integrative approach that uses techniques from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, affective-experiential learning, and systems orientations to help clients with long-standing, dysfunctional ways of relating to others. The author explores this integrative, culturally-sensitive approach, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments.
Fašizmus, 2., rozšírené vydanie
Za fašistov už boli označení takmer všetci. Termíny „fašizmus“ a „fašista“ patria k najpoužívanejším termínom druhej polovice 20. storočia a okrem iného v našom slovníku plnia funkciu univerzálnej nadávky. Historik Jakub Drábik vo svojej knihe objasňuje, čo fašizmus v skutočnosti je, ako ho definovať, koho možno za fašistu označiť, ako sa fašizmus navonok prejavuje i čo z toho všetkého vyplýva. Objasňuje motivácie a ideológiu fašistov a vysvetľuje, ako je možné, že milióny ľudí vábeniu fašizmu podľahli a žili, poslúchali, pracovali, obetovali sa, bojovali a umierali v službách jednej z najzhubnejších ideológií ľudských dejín. Na príklade štyroch európskych krajín (Taliansko, Nemecko, Spojené kráľovstvo a Československo) ukazuje, ako fungovali historické fašistické hnutia a režimy a v samostatnej kapitole vysvetlí i peripetie a transformáciu fašizmu po druhej svetovej vojne až po dnešok.
Rozšírené vydanie prináša kapitoly o transnacionálnych sieťach fašistov v medzivojnovom období a brazílskom fašizme, ale tiež o povojnových premenách a evolúcii fašizmu v digitálnom veku 21. storočia – od prvých prejavov a šírení na internete, cez sociálne siete až po nové taktiky a jazyk fašistov. Ukazuje aj to, prečo sa v odborných i verejných debatách o fašizme čoraz častejšie objavujú mená ako Donald Trump či Vladimír Putin.

Hodina srdce
Co když máte na terapeutický rozhovor právě jen tu jednu hodinu? Nic víc, nic delšího, žádné pokračování? Může se během jedné hodiny člověk skutečně otevřít? A co terapeut, pojme během omezeného času to, co mu chce klient sdělit, a dospějí spolu k nějakému závěru? Kniha slavného psychologa a spisovatele nabízí příběhy, které se odehrály během jediného hodinového sezení, jež navíc proběhlo online. Mezi jeho klienty se objevují lidé z celého světa a během intenzivních hodin, kdy občas obě strany zápasí s připojením nebo nastavením mikrofonu, se odehrávají intimní a velmi osobní setkání. Irvin Yalom už totiž ve svém věku nemá co ztratit, a tak se jako jeho románový terapeut Ernest ze Lží na pohovce rozhodl pro upřímnou terapii. Nebude se před klienty schovávat, řekne jim o sobě i věci, které by jinak možná tajil. To jim pomůže otevřít během jedné jediné hodiny celé jejich srdce.
Po extázi prádelna
Mnoho duchovních příběhů končí osvícením nebo hlubokým vhledem. A tyto zážitky jsou běžnější, než si někdy myslíme. Jenže co následuje poté? Co se stane, když musí křesťanský mystik nakoupit? Když se zenový mistr vrátí domů ke své ženě a dětem? Autor nás ubezpečuje, že žádní plně osvícení mudrci bez ega ani světci, kteří by byli prosti jakéhokoli pokušení, ve skutečnosti neexistují. I po významné osobnostní proměně v každém z nás zůstává něco slabého a křehkého. Něco, co se musí potýkat s obyčejnými starostmi.
Autor prostudoval řadu duchovních příběhů a spisů a hovořil s mnoha mnichy, jeptiškami, lámy, rabíny, jogíny, mistry či učiteli z nejrůznějších duchovních tradic o tom, jak i po „vrcholném zážitku“ zvládat každodenní vztahy, emoční bolesti, nemoci, ztráty, jak si vydělat na živobytí a jak čelit smrti. Kornfield dochází k poznání, že uskutečňovat v životě přijetí, soucit a laskavost je celoživotní proces.
The Means of Prediction
An eye-opening examination of how power—not technology—will define life with AI. AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. The ubiquity of AI is so great that it might produce public resignation—a sense that the technology is our shared fate. As economist Maximilian Kasy shows in The Means of Prediction, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment. Kasy shows that the technology of AI is ultimately not that complex. It is insidious, however, in its capacity to steer results to its owners’ wants and ends. Kasy clearly and accessibly explains the fundamental principles on which AI works, and, in doing so, reveals that the real conflict isn’t between humans and machines, but between those who control the machines and the rest of us. The Means of Prediction offers a powerful vision of the future of AI: a future not shaped by technology, but by the technology’s owners. Amid a deluge of debates about technical details, new possibilities, and social problems, Kasy cuts to the core issue: Who controls AI’s objectives, and how is this control maintained? The answer lies in what he calls “the means of prediction,” or the essential resources required for building AI systems: data, computing power, expertise, and energy. As Kasy shows, in a world already defined by inequality, one of humanity’s most consequential technologies has been and will be steered by those already in power. Against those stakes, Kasy offers an elegant framework both for understanding AI’s capabilities and for designing its public control. He makes a compelling case for democratic control over AI objectives as the answer to mounting concerns about AI's risks and harms. The Means of Prediction is a revelation, both an expert undressing of a technology that has masqueraded as more complicated and a compelling call for public oversight of this transformative technology.
The Book of Five Rings
The Book of Five Rings is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. The Book of Five Rings was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Thomas Cleary''s translation is immediately accessible, with an introduction that presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. Along with Musashi''s text, Cleary translates here another important Japanese classic on leadership and strategy, The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical and spiritual insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way of the warrior.
The Things She Carried
Purses and bags have always been much more than a fashion accessory.For generations of Americans, the purse has been an essential and highly adaptable object, used to achieve a host of social, cultural, and political objectives. In the early 1800s, when the slim fit of neoclassical dresses made interior pockets impractical, upper-class women began to carry small purses called reticules, which provided them with a private place in a world where they did not have equal access to public space. Although many items of apparel have long expressed their wearer''s aspirations, only the purse has offered carriers privacy, pride, and pleasure. This privacy has been particularly important for those who have faced discrimination because of their gender, class, race, citizenship, or sexuality.The Things She Carried reveals how bags, sacks, and purses provided the methods and materials for Americans'' activism, allowing carriers to transgress critical boundaries at key moments. It explores how enslaved people used purses and bags when attempting to escape and immigrant factory workers fought to protect their purses in the workplace. It also probes the purse''s nuanced functions for Black women in the civil rights movement and explores how LGBTQ people used purses to defend their bodies and make declarations about their sexuality.Kathleen Casey closely examines a variety of sources—from vintage purses found in abandoned buildings and museum collections to advertisements, photograph albums, trade journals, newspaper columns, and trial transcripts. She finds purses in use at fraught historical moments, where they served strategic and symbolic functions for their users. The result is a thorough and surprising examination of an object that both ordinary and extraordinary Americans used to influence social, cultural, economic, and political change.
The Egyptian Labor Corps
During World War I, the British Empire enlisted half a million young men, predominantly from the countryside of Egypt, in the Egyptian Labor Corps (ELC) and put them to work handling military logistics in Europe and the Middle East. British authorities reneged on their promise not to draw Egyptians into the war, and, as Kyle Anderson shows, the ELC was seen by many in Egypt as a form of slavery. The Egyptian Labor Corps tells the forgotten story of these young men, culminating in the essential part they came to play in the 1919 Egyptian Revolution. Combining sources from archives in four countries, Anderson explores Britain's role in Egypt during this period and how the ELC came to be, as well as the experiences and hardships these men endured. As he examines the ways they coped - through music, theater, drugs, religion, strikes, and mutiny - he illustrates how Egyptian nationalists, seeing their countrymen in a state akin to slavery, began to grasp that they had been racialized as "people of color." Documenting the history of the ELC and its work during the First World War, The Egyptian Labor Corps also provides a fascinating reinterpretation of the 1919 revolution through the lens of critical race theory.
The Turks and the Caliphal Army
A defense of Abbasid military policy from a powerhouse of Arabic lettersIn the aftermath of a bitter civil war in 3rd/9th-century Baghdad, the Abbasid caliph al-Muʿtaṣim began purchasing Turkish slaves to create a highly trained private militia loyal only to him. In doing so, al-Muʿtaṣim introduced an enduring tradition of enslaved soldiers that became widespread across the region. The incorporation of these Turkish troops into the caliph’s army, however, threatened to throw fuel on the fires of factional strife. With this text, written at the request of a high-ranking official, the legendary polymath and "father of Arabic prose" al-Jāḥiẓ defends the Turkish soldiers’ effectiveness and importance, and in so doing defends the unity and integrity of the army and the value of allegiance to the Abbasid state.Using the epistolary essay as a rhetorical device, al-Jāḥiẓ conceives a debate between his patron, al-Fatḥ ibn Khāqān, and an adversary. With al-Fatḥ as a mouthpiece, al-Jāḥiẓ skillfully contrasts his own reasoned argument for harmony and understanding with his adversary’s impassioned partisan polemics. While extolling the Turks’ merits as soldiers, al-Jāḥiẓ draws attention to the common ground between Turks and their rivals—history, geography, religion, and above all devotion to the Abbasid cause, stressing unity and reconciliation over discord and division. The result is a remarkable essay offering insight into social and political cohesion in the Abbasid empire at its height, and the rifts that threatened its stability.A bilingual Arabic-English edition.
Let the Oppressed Go Free
Tenacious activism by Quakers, African Americans, and antislavery evangelicals made antislavery central to the American Revolution In Let the Oppressed Go Free, Nicholas P. Wood presents the opponents of slavery who sustained and expanded the antislavery movement during the American Revolution in the face of widespread hostility. These early abolitionists were inspired by antislavery theology: the view that slavery was a sinful form of oppression that would provoke God's wrath against slaveholding societies. These principles were first advanced by a handful of Quakers and Puritans as early as the 1600s, but they did not become widespread until the second half of the eighteenth century. Quakers embraced antislavery theology during the French and Indian War, which they interpreted as divine chastisement for the sin of colonial slavery. Citing the prophet Isaiah, they pledged to please the Lord by letting the oppressed go free. Antislavery theology became even more prominent during the American Revolution. When Parliament provoked an imperial crisis in the 1760s, abolitionists argued it was further evidence of God's anger over slavery. The outbreak of war in 1775 made these arguments increasingly persuasive. Let the Oppressed Go Free demonstrates that antislavery activism during the Revolution by Quakers, African Americans, and evangelical patriots was more sophisticated and influential than historians have recognized. The northern states that began abolishing slavery during the Revolution did so in response to tenacious agitation and generally described their actions as designed to earn God's blessing. Let the Oppressed Go Free challenges many common assumptions about abolitionism and the American Revolution. Wood demonstrates that religion remained central to abolitionism rather than being displaced by "secular" arguments about natural rights. And whereas some have argued that the Revolutionary War hindered antislavery progress and fueled racism, Wood shows that the war accelerated reform.
Children of Mars
A fresh narrative history of the rise of Rome''s empire in Italy, that exposes the monumental expansion of the Roman familial, social, political, and militaristic way of living across Italy.Before the Romans could become masters of the Mediterranean, they had to first conquer the people of their own peninsula. This book explores the origins of Roman imperialism and the creation of Rome''s early Italian empire, bringing new light and interpretations to this important but problematic period in Roman history. It explains how and why the Romans were able to expand their influence within Italy, often through the use of armed conflict, laying the foundations for their great imperial project.This book critically reexamines and reframes the traditional literary narrative within an archaeologically informed, archaic Italian context. Jeremy Armstrong presents a new interpretation of the early Roman army, highlighting the fluid and family-driven character which is increasingly visible in the evidence. Drawing on recent developments within the field of early Roman studies, Children of Mars argues that the emergence of Rome''s empire in Italy should not be seen as the spread of a distinct “Roman” people across Italian land, but rather the expansion of a social, political, and military network amongst the Italian people. Armstrong suggests that Rome''s early empire was a fundamentally human and relational one. While this reinterpretation of early Roman imperialism is no less violent than the traditional model, it alters its core dynamic and nature, and thus shifts the entire trajectory of Rome''s Republican history.
Failures of Forgiveness
Philosopher Myisha Cherry teaches us the right ways to deal with wrongdoing in our lives and the worldSages from Cicero to Oprah have told us that forgiveness requires us to let go of negative emotions and that it has a unique power to heal our wounds. In Failures of Forgiveness, Myisha Cherry argues that these beliefs couldn’t be more wrong—and that the ways we think about and use forgiveness, personally and as a society, can often do more harm than good. She presents a new and healthier understanding of forgiveness—one that will give us a better chance to recover from wrongdoing and move toward “radical repair.”Cherry began exploring forgiveness after some relatives of the victims of the mass shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, forgave what seemed unforgiveable. She was troubled that many observers appeared to be more inspired by these acts of forgiveness than they were motivated to confront the racial hatred that led to the killings. That is a big mistake, Cherry argues. Forgiveness isn’t magic. We can forgive and still be angry, there can be good reasons not to forgive, and forgiving a wrong without tackling its roots solves nothing. Examining how forgiveness can go wrong in families, between friends, at work, and in the media, politics, and beyond, Cherry addresses forgiveness and race, canceling versus forgiving, self-forgiveness, and more. She takes the burden of forgiveness off those who have been wronged and offers guidance both to those deciding whether and how to forgive and those seeking forgiveness.By showing us how to do forgiveness better, Failures of Forgiveness promises to transform how we deal with wrongdoing in our lives, opening a new path to true healing and reconciliation.
Cannabis - A Natural History
The definitive story of cannabis, from its evolution and biological quirks to its role in human history
In this entertaining natural history, Rob DeSalle provides a glimpse into the biological world through the lens of the marijuana plant. A close relative of hops with a surprising place in the botanical tree of life, cannabis has a unique life cycle, has evolved pathways for over four hundred compounds, and makes one thousand or so different chemicals that are stored in its tissues-some of which are the basis of its famed psychoactive properties.
With his scientist's perspective on this well-known and controversial plant, DeSalle considers taxonomy, systematics, evolution, human physiology and neurobiology, and cultural issues. He discusses the plant's complicated reproductive strategies; considers ancient arthropod-cannabis associations from South Asia; and offers a nuanced cultural history that extends from the first evidence of smoking cannabis more than two thousand years ago to the current debates over legalization. Engaging and extensively researched, with illustrations by Patricia J. Wynne, this is a vital resource for cannabis enthusiasts and anyone curious about the science behind this infamous "weed."
The Land Trap
How the world's oldest asset secretly shapes our modern economy.
In The Land Trap, Mike Bird-Wall Street editor at The Economist-reveals how this ancient asset still exerts outsize influence over the modern world. From the speculative land grabs of colonial America to China's real estate crisis today, Bird shows how fortunes are built-and destroyed-on the bedrock of land.
Tracing three centuries of history, Bird explores how land quietly became the linchpin of the global banking system, driving everything from soaring housing prices to rising geopolitical tensisons. As governments wrestle with inequality and land grows ever scarcer, The Land Trap offers a powerful new framework for understanding the hidden force behind today's most urgent challenges.
This is the book for anyone who wants to see beyond markets and money to the real game being played on a foundation as old as civilization itself. Timely, provocative, and essential, The Land Trap will change how you see the ground beneath your feet.

The Jefferson Bible
The life and times of a uniquely American testamentIn his retirement, Thomas Jefferson edited the New Testament with a penknife and glue, removing all mention of miracles and other supernatural events. Inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment, Jefferson hoped to reconcile Christian tradition with reason by presenting Jesus of Nazareth as a great moral teacher—not a divine one. Peter Manseau tells the story of the Jefferson Bible, exploring how each new generation has reimagined the book in its own image as readers grapple with both the legacy of the man who made it and the place of religion in American life. Completed in 1820 and rediscovered by chance in the late nineteenth century after being lost for decades, Jefferson's cut-and-paste scripture has meant different things to different people. Some have held it up as evidence that America is a Christian nation founded on the lessons of the Gospels. Others see it as proof of the Founders' intent to root out the stubborn influence of faith. Manseau explains Jefferson's personal religion and philosophy, shedding light on the influences and ideas that inspired him to radically revise the Gospels. He situates the creation of the Jefferson Bible within the broader search for the historical Jesus, and examines the book's role in American religious disputes over the interpretation of scripture. Manseau describes the intrigue surrounding the loss and rediscovery of the Jefferson Bible, and traces its remarkable reception history from its first planned printing in 1904 for members of Congress to its persistent power to provoke and enlighten us today.
Psychodrama a sociometrie
Kniha představuje výbor ze základních myšlenek zakladatele psychodramatu a sociometrie, průkopníka na poli skupinové psychoterapie. Texty jsou uspořádané koncepčně, ne chronologicky, aby čtenáři poskytly co nejlepší orientaci v Morenově přístupu. Popsána jsou jak autorova filozofická východiska, tak jejich aplikace na oblast psychoterapie a skupinové dynamiky včetně možnosti měřit skupinové vztahy pomocí sociometrie. Zahrnuty jsou také konkrétní psychodramatické nástroje (jeviště, protagonista, režisér, pomocní herci, diváci) a důležité cíle a aspekty psychodramatu: umožnění katarze, nácvik tvořivosti a spontaneity, vyjádření skrytých konfliktů a přesunutí pozornosti na vztahy, v nichž se konflikty odehrávají, umožnění realistického ztvárnění hravou formou.
Kniha se zabývá i specifiky psychodramatu např. při práci s lidmi se závislostí nebo psychózou či při párové terapii. Závěrečná kapitola zahrnuje autobiografické texty, které Morenovy vhledy propojují s jeho osobním příběhem.
Tigers Between Empires
The remarkable conservation story of one of the world's most iconic animals
Deep in the snowy forests of Northeast Asia roams the majestic and revered Amur tigers, more popularly known as 'The Siberian Tiger'. But in the final years of the Cold War, only a few hundred of these graceful animals remained in their home of the Amur River basin. As the Soviet Union fell, catastrophe arrived, with poaching and logging taking a fast, astonishing toll on an already vulnerable species.
Taking us on a journey through remote frozen landscapes, globally renowned conservationist Jonathan Slaght charts the incredible story of how Russian scientists and American conservationists came together to save these magnificent, solitary creatures. He retraces their steps to show how this dedicated, fearless coalition laid the foundations of new tiger research across Asia, transforming public opinion around tigers from something to be feared and hunted, to creatures we must protect.
Today, tigers occupy 7% of the lands they did 100 years ago, disappearing in the wild from Bali to Iran. In the ongoing global crisis of species destruction, Slaght shows us that the revival of the Amur tiger can bring us hope for the future: a model for how to live alongside, and revive, the natural world.
