VIII. Henrik
VIII. Henrik annak köszönheti, hogy királlyá koronázták, hogy bátyja, Artúr herceg, a trónörökös 15 éves korában meghalt.
Viharos uralkodása 38 évig tartott, hatszor nősült, számtalan botrányban és győztes, majd vesztes csatában volt része. Olyan energikusan, jellegzetes módon uralkodott, hogy emléke soha nem merül feledésbe.
Henrik fiúörökös utáni hajszájában kivégeztette kisebbik lánya anyját, Boleyn Annát, azonban apja hajdani meggyőződésére, hogy egy országot csak egy férfi tud kormányozni, Erzsébet igencsak rácáfolt.
Okosan, bölcsen uralkodott, atyját is túlszárnyalva.
Karrier és család
Miért adja fel sok nő a karrierjét? Miért keresnek napjainkban a nők - különösen az alapdiplomás és az annál magasabb végzettségűek - jóval kevesebbet, mint a férfiak?
Claudia Goldin egymást követő öt nemzedék évszázados útjának elemzésén keresztül mutatja be, hogyan értek el az alapdiplomás nők egyre nagyobb sikereket a "karrier és család" együttes megvalósításában, miközben a nemek közötti bérszakadék és a párkapcsolaton belüli méltánytalanság nagyobb, mint valaha. Kutatásai szerint nem változtatna lényegesen ezen a helyzeten, ha a nők agresszívebben versenyeznének, keményebben tárgyalnának, több bért követelnének, és határozottabban lépnének fel a nemi előítéletekkel szemben. A nemek közötti szakadékok okát máshol kell keresnünk - a valódi "bűnös" a munka és gondoskodás idejétmúlt struktúrája.
Goldin rengeteg figyelemre méltó felmérésre és a Covid-19 tanulságaira hivatkozva fejti ki, mit kellene tenni a nemek közötti gazdasági szakadékok csökkentése érdekében.
Pustá země
Vstupujeme do nové éry globálního kataklyzmatu: smrtící směsice válek, klimatických změn, soupeření velmocí, rychlého technologického pokroku a konce impérií. Světoznámý autor Robert D. Kaplan v nové knize Pustá země pronikavě vysvětluje, jak jsme se do této situace dostali a kam směřujeme.
Kaplanův příznačný záběr na historii, literaturu, politiku a filozofii ukazuje paralely mezi současnými výzvami a problémy meziválečné Výmarské republiky v Německu. I dnes má každá národní katastrofa potenciál zasáhnout celý svět. Mohla by světovou populaci před totálním chaosem zachránit spíše stabilita a historický liberalismus, nebo masová demokracie?
Pustá země je odvážným pohledem do budoucnosti definované technologiemi jednadvacátého století, a přesto pozoruhodně rezonující s minulostí. Pokud naši lídři včas nezakročí, situace se může snadno vymknout kontrole.
Gold
This full-colour, illustrated reference guide explores the fascinating history of gold. Why are we so fascinated by gold? Why is it so revered and so valued? From the earliest times to the present day, humans have been attracted by this sun-coloured metal, sometimes worshipping it, always prizing it. Gold: The Metal that Rules the World investigates the history of this versatile element, examining what it is, how it came to be found on Earth and why it has played such an important part in human history. A precious commodity that still rules the world of finance, gold has taken many forms: from statues and beautiful, intricate jewellery to playing a vital role as a delicate component in highly sophisticated technology and, as medical science advances, as part of ever-more crucial treatments for serious illnesses. Highly readable and fully illustrated, this is an engrossing tale of humankind''s love affair with element no 79.
Contested Commons
A radical history of England, Contested Commons is a gripping overview of increasingly restrictive policing and legislation against protest in public spaces. It tells the long history of contests over Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, Cable Street and Kinder Scout, as well as sites in towns and rural areas across the country. Navickas reveals how protesters claimed these spaces as their own commons, resisting their continuing enclosure and exclusion by social and political elites. She investigates famous and less well-known demonstrations and protest marches, from early democracy, trade union movements and the Suffragettes to anti-fascist, Black rights and environmental campaigners in more recent times. Contested Commons offers positive as well as troubling lessons on how we protect the right to protest.

Jean-Luc Nancy and the Deconstruction of Christianity
In dialogue with Derridean deconstruction, this book highlights Nancy's distinctive figurative philosophical style which emerges as a transformative force, one that radicalises différance and draws out its creative potential. Through this generative logic, Nancy reconfigures how we conceptualise Christianity—not as an entity apart from philosophical reflection, but as intricately intertwined with it. Ashok Collins offers a bold new perspective on the 'turn to religion' within deconstruction, charting fresh pathways for debate and reflection far beyond its established boundaries.
Pornocracy
They say everybody uses porn. They're wrong. People don't use pornography: it uses us. And you don't have to watch it to be one of its victims. In this thought-provoking and timely book, Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel expose how the multi-billion-dollar pornography industry has humanity gripped in a chokehold. From rewiring our brains and normalising sexual violence, to shaping new protest movements, the pornographic revolution has achieved a stunning and near-total victory. The triumph of the pornocrats is made more sinister by society's widespread acceptance that 'all men watch porn', the denial of its devastating harms, and a lack of political will to curb the power of the global pornography business. The authors answer the questions that politicians and policymakers are too scared to ask. Why, despite over half a century of feminist gains and lessons in schools on 'consent', do today's school children display more sexist attitudes than their parents and grandparents? Do women really want to be choked and humiliated in bed? How can we fight back and reclaim sex, love and relationship? rawing on the latest research, Pornocracy charts how the neurological shifts caused by porn use reverberate through society. The book also warns of a dystopian future where AI-powered porn and sextech threaten to reduce us all to masturbating meat puppets on an algorithmic production line. Provocative and powerful, Pornocracy tells the story of how pornography fundamentally changed—perhaps forever—what it is to be human.
Animating the Dead
This book provides the exciting results of a long-term project examining Bronze Age round barrow construction and burial practices in Orkney, Scotland. A main focus of this research is on the act of cremation; a technology of bodily metamorphosis as articulated through complex mortuary practices, which produced a distinctive form of funerary architecture. This, and other topical themes, are explored through the results of extensive excavations at several barrow cemeteries including Linga Fiold, Gitterpitten, Varme Dale, Vestrafiold and the Knowes of Trotty, the latter being famous for rich grave goods including gold discs and amber beads. In this context, in being built on the ruins of an early Neolithic settlement, Knowes of Trotty provides an intersection of relational fields, fusing local tradition with faraway places.At Linga Fiold, the barrow cemetery was almost entirely excavated, and by employing sophisticated recovery techniques and analyses, unique evidence is presented for a complex sequence of barrow building and mortuary practices. This enables the reconstruction of an extraordinary ritual journey of the deceased from cremation pyre to final interment.Additionally, several cist excavations are published here for the first time. This evidence allows an appraisal of the developing cist burial tradition in Orkney through the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, from the insertion of remains into chambered tombs and large re-enterable unobtrusive cists, to the development of imposing linear barrow cemeteries, to the drawing in of the dead closer to home.Overall, the new findings presented here allow a reconsideration of the chronology and specifics of changing Orcadian burial technologies and traditions: clearly, such results have significance beyond Orkney for understanding the complexities of Bronze Age cremation and burial practices across Britain and north-west Europe.
Another Humanity
Is there a way of being human that could invite people away from today’s models of violence and consumerism? Looking forward to a new, increasingly creolized century, in 1997 the Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant asked, ‘Do we have the right and the means to live another dimension of humanity? But how?’Building on the defense of human rights he outlined in Choose Your Bearing, Benjamin P. Davis traces figures of 'the human' and ‘humanity' in W. E. B. Du Bois, Édouard Glissant, Sylvia Wynter and Edward Said. He concludes with a reflection on Hannah Arendt’s post-war correspondence with Karl Jaspers, which offers lessons for a new humanism as we witness ongoing wars today.
Living Through Capitalism
This book explores how capitalism uses and abuses life, and presents communities of life as a practical means of resistance. In particular, the book shows how capitalism exploits life?s capacity for self-production across myriad species, enlists us in environmentally damaging behaviour, inflicts immense physical and mental suffering in unjust and avoidable ways, and undermines the ethical quality of life for all. The best chance to find meaning in this context, James A. Chamberlain argues, is resistance, and the affirmation of communities of life. The book proposes eight theses on communities of life, including: the orientation of communities of life to satisfy the needs of all beings that constitute them, and to the growth of life rather than economic growth; the abolition of private property in favour of various forms of shared ownership; post-work politics; and the need to recognize the interdependence of life to enact multi-species communities.
Democracy Redefined
At a time when democratic government is under attack, Chibli Mallat offers a new definition of democracy: the necessary representation in government of citizens as ''members of historically subordinate groups'', a concept first opened up by Michel Chiha (1891-1954) during his drafting of the Lebanese Constitution of 1926.The book rests on two main research pillars: the first is a detailed historical and institutional examination of Levantine and Lebanese institutions, drawing on dozens of 19th and 20th century documents, including Chiha?s constitutional papers. With unprecedented access to the Chiha Archive, Mallat constructs a world vision of Chiha through his writings and political positions which act as the background to his constitutional contributions. The second pillar examines the success and failures of an enduring Lebanese Constitution to advance this radically new view of majoritarian democracy, based on extensive research in political science and in constitutional law.
The Secret Battle For Britain
The dramatic story of Franz von Werra, famously the only Axis PoW to succeed in escaping and make it home during the Second World War, is told in the 1957 movie The One That Got Away. The film details von Werra’s interrogation by RAF intelligence in 1940, presenting an enlightening, but compressed, version of his treatment following his capture in the Battle of Britain. The script revealed a little of the tactics of his RAF interrogators, which so impressed von Werra that he was quick to tell the Luftwaffe High Command upon his return to Germany in 1941.Of course, von Werra was just one of many Luftwaffe airmen captured during 1939 and 1940. Many, if not all, were subject to processing and interrogation having been taken prisoner. Information was gleaned through ‘private’ discussions between senior officers and some lower ranks, obtained via covert microphones, as well as interrogation, stool pigeons. However, these tactics had been developed in the first months of the war and with the Battle of Britain producing vast quantities of PoWs, the new tactics were honed on these unsuspecting guinea pigs.The German airmen, most of whom at this stage of the war believed that victory was inevitable, provided Air Intelligence both wittingly and unwittingly, with a treasure trove of information which covered not only technical and tactical intelligence, but also possible war crimes, morale and more. Air Intelligence used tactics that any modern interrogator would recognise. The RAF also built up quite a library of information, much of it coming from what we now call ‘Open source’ material. This included newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasts and information from previous prisoners. Carefully collated and analysed, in time, Air Intelligence built up a detailed picture of pilots, aircraft, units and the general social situation around a unit or airfield community. This book examines the development of Air Intelligence and its interrogation of Luftwaffe airmen from 1939 to the end of the 1940, providing a fascinating insight into a little-known part of both the Battle of Britain and the Blitz.
Healing from Betrayal, Infidelity, and Problematic Sexual Behaviors
This compassionate and practical guide is designed to help individuals and those in relationships navigate the aftermath of problematic behavioral patterns, infidelity, and betrayal. This book guides readers through the process of rebuilding emotional safety, creating deep, meaningful connections with themselves and others and a healthy connection to sexuality. Based in Attachment Theory, this book offers a structured three-phase recovery model that guides readers through Early Recovery (Repair), Middle Recovery (Reconnect), and Late Recovery (Restore). Chapters explore trauma and escape cycles, identifying relational dysfunction, emotional needs, breaking unhealthy behavioral patterns, restoring sexual connection, and staying grounded in the work of processing and healing. A chapter on parenting after betrayal is also included, which offers strategies for talking to your children and changing intergenerational patterns. This book puts evidence-based theory into practice through interactive tools including worksheets, diagrams, and exercises, helping readers hone boundary-setting skills, create individual and relationship check-ins, and more. Dr. Knowlton’s sex-positive, inclusive, and non-shaming approach ensures concepts are accessible to all identities, sexualities, cultures, and relationship dynamics. This comprehensive guide is essential to individuals and relationships struggling with infidelity and problematic behavioral patterns, as well as therapists looking to provide meaningful support to their clients.
A Spitfire’s Story
Public affection for the iconic Spitfire endures; indeed, if anything, it increases as more of these incredible aircraft are restored to airworthy condition. The Spitfire story, however, is one of people, designers, engineers, pilots, groundcrew, and more, whose lives were touched in some way by this extraordinary machine – and such stories are the inspiration for this book.Spitfire Mk.IA R6644 was built by Supermarine at Woolston, and test-flown by the famous test pilot Jeffrey Quill on 30 May 1940. Thereafter, the aircraft was taken on charge by 5 Operational Training Unit at Aston Down. While there, it was flown by a number of The Few, new replacement pilots converting to type.It is likely, for example, that R6644 was flown by Pilot Officer Richard Hillary, who, shot down and badly burned, became a member of the Guinea Pig Club. In his classic memoir The Last Enemy, Hillary described how 5 OTU’s young pilots would fly beneath the arches of the great railway bridge spanning the Severn estuary. This inspired the famous scene in the 1980s TV series Piece of Cake, when Ray Hanna flew Spitfire MH434 beneath a bridge for the cameras. Amongst the other pilots known to have flown R6644 at Aston Down are at least two aces. On 26 February 1941, R6644 was handed on to 65 Squadron. One of the latter’s pilots who flew in R6644 was the great ace Flying Officer Brendan ‘Paddy’ Finucane DFC. In April, R6644 was taken on charge by the recently formed 308 (Polish) Squadron. On 11 May 1941, Pilot Officer Franciszek Surma was flying R6644 to investigate an unidentified radar plot, which transpired to be a friendly Blenheim, but was forced to abandon the Spitfire near Malvern, Worcestershire, owing to an engine fire. Surma, again one of The Few, descended safely by parachute; he was reported missing off Dunkirk during Circus 110 on 8 November 1941.This book not only explores the men who flew R6674 throughout its wartime service, but also brings the story up to date by detailing the excavation of the Spitfire’s crash site in 1987.
