Ballot


Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.

The Fire in the Mountain


For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama. In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily's most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily's rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity's ever-changing relationship with landscape.

Arisaig and Morar


Arisiag and Morar, Norse and Gaelic, the 'river-mouth bay' and the 'great water', part of na garbh Chriochan (The Rough Bounds), an area so rugged and desolate it was itself known as the Highlands of the Highlands. From Borrodale (fort-dale) to Kilmory (Maelrubha's chapel), from Druimindarroch (oak-tree ridge) to Eireagoraidh (shieling-corrie), the place-names echo the story of the landscape. This harsh environment was at the heart of the old Macruari and Clanranald estate; this was where Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed and last departed, where fugitive Jacobites skulked and languished, where the great poet Alexander Macdonald breathed his last lines, and whence the sail-ships Jane, Lucy and British Queen carried so many hopes to the New World. Where, despite clearance and emigration, potato blight and deer forest, poverty and hardship, a new road and railway were eventually driven, a fishing industry flourished, and where communities survived.

Sum of Us


'A masterpiece of storytelling' Robert Winder Georgina Sturge, House of Commons Library statistician and author of the critically acclaimed Bad Data, explores the rich history of the times the UK has counted itself - from the revolutionary first census of 1801 to modern worries over technological surveillance. Condensing a whole society into numbers brought hidden problems to light: mapping cholera deaths in Soho led researchers to a single deadly water pump; Florence Nightingale stunned the Victorian establishment with her diagrams showing disease was the soldier's hidden enemy; and the discovery that industries like firework-making were almost entirely staffed by women helped improve workers' rights. Full of fascinating social detail, Sum of Us draws out the human stories captured in the vast tangle of data the UK has collected over two centuries. It provides a vital snapshot not of who we imagine ourselves to be - but who we really are.

Age Against The Machine


We're here to blow apart some of the myths that prevent older workers from fully participating in the world of work. Work is the cornerstone of purpose, income and connection - typically denied to people as they get older either directly through ageism or indirectly through the misselling of the retirement dream. The book is broken into two sections. Part One: This is a wake up call: readers need to understand the size and scale of the problem to ready themselves for the changes they need to make. By the end of part one, the reader will understand how retirement came about and why it's no longer fit for purpose. They'll know every marker of successful ageing is associated with those who work and feel through this a sense of purpose. They'll understand why recruitment is broken and how poorly prepared governments and organisations are to support them. In short, they will know the only way for them to help themselves and others, is to read part two. Part Two We help readers get their heads into gear by busting common myths (e.g. do a job you love). We provide a structure for people to navigate change in an ageist world and show them how to be a constructive age activist so they can become part of the solution.

Nad slovami sv. Maxima Vyznávača - O láske 1


Sú knihy, ktoré človek prečíta a odloží, a potom sú také, ktoré sa stávajú spoločníkmi na celý život. K takým patrí aj dielo „400 textov o láske“ od svätého Maxima Vyznávača, ktorému v našej novej publikácii venujeme osobitnú pozornosť. Dovoľte nám namiesto dlhých recenzií ponúknuť slová samotného svätca, ktoré napísal svojmu priateľovi, kňazovi Elpidiosovi. Tieto slová sú totiž najlepším návodom, ako túto knihu čítať: „Zhustil som spisy svätých otcov do krátkych odstavcov, aby boli ľahšie na zapamätanie a osvojenie. Prosím ťa, čítaj ich s pochopením a hľadaj iba to, čo je užitočné... Mnohé kapitoly potrebujú hlbšie štúdium, aj keď sa zdajú byť veľmi jednoduchými.“ Prečo si túto knihu zamilujete? -Esencia otcov: Nie je to len teória, ale výber toho najlepšieho, čo svätý Maxim našiel u svojich predchodcov. -Proti „záplave slov“: V dobe, kedy je veľa hovoriacich, ale málo konajúcich, nás Maxim pozýva k učeniu sa skutkami. -Čítanie, ktoré mení: Táto kniha nie je pre zvedavcov hľadajúcich informácie, ale pre duše hľadajúce Božiu milosť a bázeň. Prijmite toto pozvanie k uvažovaniu nad učením jedného z najvýznamnejších autorov Filokalie. Nech je pre vás každá jedna kapitola z týchto štyroch stoviek krokom bližšie k autentickej láske k Bohu aj blížnemu.

We Are As Gods


In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: 'We are as gods - and we might as well get good at it.' Half a century later, that prophecy has come true. We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles - omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection - are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn't whether humanity can play god. It's whether we can do it wisely. In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species' next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity's ascent from scarcity to superabundance - and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it. Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow. Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won't be built by those who fear what's coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation. Abundance is here. Are you ready?

Build


Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight: Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company. Here's how to run it. Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia. So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box. But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks. Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making.

Women and Gender in Modern Europe


This book introduces students to the key concepts of women's history, gender as a category of analysis, and the history of feminism. Spanning the late 19th century to the present day, each chapter highlights major themes of the particular time period right across Europe before concluding with a short bibliography. Whilst covering some familiar narratives in a broadly chronological fashion, Jennifer A. Miller introduces new actors, themes, and conclusions based on the most recent scholarship that further enriches our collective understanding women's history in modern Europe. Miller presents a Europe of diversity from ethnic and religious perspectives that has also been sorely lacking until now. European colonialism, the suffrage movements, the World Wars and the Holocaust, the postwar period, the Cold War and even very recent history are all closely examined in an essential volume for anyone interested in the European female experience of the last 150 years.

Nikdy sami doma


Představte si vysněný scénář mnoha z nás po dlouhém pracovním týdnu: mít celý dům jen pro sebe. Žádný partner, žádné děti, žádná domácí zvířata. Ale když se usadíte na gauč, něco se pohne: možná myš vyběhne ze spodu skříně, nebo oknem líně prolétne moucha. Pravda je, že ve skutečnosti nejsme nikdy doma sami. Až donedávna nikdo tvory, kteří s námi odjakživa sdílí naše domovy, nebral příliš vážně – dokud se Rob Dunn a jeho tým nerozhodli prozkoumat je blíže. Objevili, že v našich ložnicích, kuchyních, obývacích pokojích, koupelnách a sklepech žije téměř 200 000 druhů organismů. Některé z těchto druhů nás mohou zabít. Některé nám prospívají. A některé se zdají být zcela neškodné. Ale téměř všechny byly doposud úplně neznámé.

Základy právní filozofie


Základy právní filozofie nabízí reprezentativní a srozumitelný úvod do hlavních témat tohoto oboru se zvláštním důrazem na současné debaty. Učebnice systematicky představuje klíčové teorie o povaze práva a jeho morálním hodnocení a věnuje se i praktičtějším otázkám, proč máme povinnost právo dodržovat a za jakých podmínek může autorita vůči jednotlivcům uplatňovat paternalistické zásahy. Nechybí ani kapitoly zaměřené na filozofické problémy nejdůležitějších právních odvětví, například ospravedlnění trestání nebo morální závaznost smluv. Text je určen především studentům právnických fakult, je však koncipován tak, aby byl přístupný i širšímu okruhu čtenářů se zájmem o právo, filozofii a společenské otázky. Z recenzních posudků: Martin Hapla a John Gealfow společně vytvořili pedagogicky mimořádně užitečný text, který se vyrovnává západním standardům. Všichni, kdo budou vyučovat některé z témat, jež kniha pokrývá, budou těmto autorům zavázáni za to, že napsali mimořádně poctivou učebnici, jež na relativně malém rozsahu systematicky postihuje ty nejzásadnější otázky filozofie práva. Rozsah použitých zdrojů je úctyhodný a o to více vyniká skutečnost, jak na omezeném prostoru dokázali autoři vystihnout základní kontury jednotlivých debat. Každý čtenář právní filozofie ví, jak komplikované tyto debaty často jsou, a nemůže proto nebýt autorům vděčný za to, s jakou srozumitelností je dokážou zpřístupnit. Mgr. et Mgr. Jiří Baroš, Ph.D. Autorom rukopisu sa podarilo verne a zrozumiteľne zachytiť prebiehajúce diskusie na poli právnej filozofie. Jednotlivé myšlienky spracovávajú s rešpektom, ale zároveň aj s kritickým odstupom, čím čitateľa do sveta filozofie ešte viac vťahujú. doc. Mgr. Marek Káčer, PhD.

Churches of Leicestershire and Rutland


The churches of Leicestershire and Rutland represent the history of this area of the East Midlands. Largely rural, their wealth in the Middle Ages came largely through farming and the wool trade, as well as the largest settlement in the area, Leicester. Later industrialisation also shaped Leicestershire, as Leicester and Loughborough also became known for manufacturing and coal mining although adjoining Rutland, much smaller, developed less. This book travels through a selection of the most interesting churches in these counties, from churches with Norman and sometimes Saxon and Roman fragments, through to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were burgeoning populations in the towns needed new places to worship in many denominations. Examples include Leicester Cathedral acquisition of a long lost English king, the rescue of Normanton church from Rutland Water, and many more. This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Leicestershire and Rutland over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting these attractive counties in England.
