Fantastičtí žraloci - Strážci moří
Žraloci – nejobávanější a zároveň nejméně pochopení živočichové oceánů! Umí žraloci létat? Jak velký byl největší žralok všech dob? Proč mají žraloci kladivouni tak zvláštní hlavu? Co mají krávy společného se žraloky – a co je to megalodon? A věděli jste, že lidstvo doposud prozkoumalo jen pět procent oceánu? Docela málo, viďte?
Michael Stavarič a Michéle Ganserová si pro vás připravili v pořadí již třetí a nejostřejší objevitelskou výpravu. Jako vždy se v knížce dozvíte také mnoho dalších informací – tentokrát např. o houbách, umělé inteligenci a nejpodivnějších létajících zvířatech na světě.
Knihu doplňují nejrůznější informace pro chytré hlavičky, vtipy, básničky a interaktivní úkoly. Ponořte se do hlubin oceánu a vstupte do neuvěřitelné říše vědy!
Kniha je třetím svazkem tzv. „fantastické řady“, která zábavnou formou vypráví o vybraných živočiších mořských hlubin a volně navazuje na první díl Fantastické chobotnice (2024) a druhý díl Fantastické medúzy (2025).
Forms of the Visible
Imagery and figuration are not just figments of an artist’s imagination. Perception and imagination are always shaped by what habit has taught us to discern. The visual path we spontaneously trace through the world depends on where we are situated in the four regions of the ontological archipelago: animism, naturalism, totemism or analogism. Each of these four regions corresponds to a way of conceiving the objects that make up the world, of perceiving the continuities and discontinuities in the folds of the world and of drawing the dividing lines between humans and nonhumans. From Alaskan Yup’ik masks and Aboriginal bark paintings to miniature landscapes from the Song dynasty and Dutch Golden Age interior scenes: each image reveals, through what it shows or fails to show, a certain figurative regime, identifiable by the formal means it uses and by the device through which it can unleash its power to act. The figurative regime enables us to grasp – sometimes better than words can – the contrasting ways of living that characterize the human condition and its relation to the nonhuman. By comparing a great diversity of visual images and artworks, Descola masterfully lays the theoretical foundations for an anthropology of figuration. One of the world’s leading anthropologists, Philippe Descola has developed a comparative anthropology of relations between humans and nonhumans that has revolutionized both the human sciences and our ways of thinking about the great ecological issues of our time. His new book will be of great value to students and scholars of anthropology, visual art and art history and to anyone interested in art, culture and the relations between the human and nonhuman worlds.
30 Great Books That Made History
Today, many readers could easily list thirty classic authors, or thirty classic works of art, literature, music, philosophy, or science. But would they be able to name thirty classic works of history? In spite of history's outsized influence in the world of ideas, the books that made - and-remade - the history we know so well are often forgotten. In this panoramic book, distinguished historian Jaume Aurell sets out to introduce readers to a new canon of historical writing. Taking a global approach, he places the work of Herodotus, Thucydides, Gibbon, Michelet and Braudel alongside masterpieces from a myriad of periods and civilizations, from Sima Qian, Anna Komnene, al-Masudi and Fukuzawa Yukichi to Edmundo O'Gorman, C. L. R. James and Natalie Zemon Davis. At the same time, Aurell argues that we should not see these books as a definitive canon - instead, any canon should be seen as a list-in-progress to be contested and debated anew with each generation. It is only by being exposed to these diverse and deeply significant works that we can fully perceive the shape of the discipline, and carve out a new appreciation for the art of history writing.
Social Epistemology
Human beings change the world in order to know it more easily and reliably. That is, we construct social and material environments, or 'epistemic niches', and develop cognitive tools to better acquire, transmit, or store information. A queue, for example, is an environment where information about the order of arrival is conveyed by a spatial configuration. Queues are niches that transform an arduous memory task into a simpler perceptual one. In this important book, Alessandra Tanesini argues that knowledge and ignorance always occur within epistemic niches and that neither can be properly described or evaluated independently of the niches within which it is found. She explores two dominant themes. First, epistemic niches in the Global North and, increasingly, elsewhere are quantified niches that promote transforming the world into aggregates of data that are suitable for classification, measurement, ranking, standardisation, and automation. These niches carry distinctive epistemic benefits and disadvantages. Second, some epistemic niches are in the service of ignorance and oppression rather than knowledge. Tanesini offers analyses of some environments that promote epistemic exploitation, appropriation, cultural imperialism, and epistemic extractivism. Social Epistemology: The Niches for Knowledge and Ignorance is a groundbreaking work for students and scholars of philosophy, political theory, social psychology, and related disciplines.
Kapitalistický manifest
Marx a Engels měli pravdu, když v Komunistickém manifestu konstatovali, že volné trhy během krátké doby vytvořily vetší prosperitu a více technologických inovací než všechny předchozí generace dohromady. O půldruhého století později všechny dukazy ukazují, že kapitalismus vysvobodil z hladu a chudoby miliony lidí.
Dnešní narativy o globálním kapitalismu – sdílené pravicovými i levicovými populisty, ale také velkou částí politického a ekonomického establishmentu – sice nepopírá, že generoval prosperitu, tvrdí však, že se bohatství dostalo do příliš úzkého okruhu. Rozšířil se pohled na globální ekonomiku jako na geopolitickou hru s nulovým součtem, kde je třeba bojovat o kontrolu nad novými inovacemi, zavádět obchodní bariéry a znovu znárodňovat hodnotové řetězce. Kapitalismus je zároveň obviňován z prohlubující se nerovnosti, populistických revolt, klimatických změn a z globálního vzestupu Číny.
Johan Norberg v této pronikavé a vášnivé analýze naopak obhajuje kapitalismus a klíčovou roli, kterou v dnešním nejistém světě hraje volný trh. Tvrdí, že odklon od globálního kapitalismu by nejen zastavil hospodářský růst, ale zároveň by ještě více prohloubil sociální vyloučení těch nejzranitelnějších – a pro chudé tohoto světa by to byla smrtící rána.

With Her Own Hands
A rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment
Psychologist and knitter Nicole Nehrig delves into the myriad ways that art forms such as knitting, sewing and embroidery are liberating for women. Spanning continents and centuries, Nehrig brings together remarkable stories of women, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls maths and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who pass down their histories in elaborate “story cloths” to a mid-century British women’s postal art exchange.
Throughout history, textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest.
With Her Own Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories and created objects of beauty and significance.
Gilded Rage
A searing insight into the political radicalization of Silicon Valley, from Elon Musk to Peter Thiel, JD Vance and Donald Trump, and how it will affect the future of all our lives.
From the pursuit of potentially apocalyptic artificial intelligence to life-extension start-ups that promise billionaires eternal youth and those who encourage the political far right around the world, the Silicon Valley techno-utopian dream has curdled. The global innovator class has the world in their hands, but they can't stand the touch.
In Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, New York Times bestselling author Jacob Silverman leads us on a critical investigation into the radicalization of Silicon Valley and the billionaires that increasingly run our lives, shape the global economy, and support Donald Trump.
At the center of this book lies Elon Musk, but this is about more than just one man and his obsession with the "woke mind virus", as Silverman reveals a network of tech and finance oligarchs, emboldened by the zero-interest rate years, now using their wealth to exert an increasingly radical political program.
Transiting San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Austin and Miami, New York, Washington DC, and various global capitals of tech, finance, and political power, Silverman talks to the people who are already living with the real-life consequences of the political revolution underway. It's a bizarre, sometimes frightening, darkly humorous world where moguls preach populist revolt while dismantling the few remaining checks on their influence.
Gilded Rage offers essential reporting and insight for anyone who wants to know what's happening to Silicon Valley. As the erratic influence of tech elites continues to spread around the world, the story that Jacob has to tell will have a profound relevance for us all.

The Two Hundred Years War
A new and radically original account of the longest military conflict in European history, which challenges the conventional periodisation of the 'Hundred Years War' to consider a much longer period of Anglo-French conflict.
Michael Livingston argues that the English lens through which the war has been viewed has led historians to define it in terms of English interests (most famously, the claim of the English Plantagenet king Edward III to be the rightful king of France), and that the events collectively labelled the 'Hundred Years War' are best seen as a sequence of steps in France's struggle to define itself as a nation. For much of the period, France's primary rival was indeed England. But it was by no means the only combatant. Burgundy stood in its way, too, as did Brittany, Flanders, Navarre and other rival powers.
Viewing France as the primary engine driving the war leads Livingston to consider a much longer timespan, starting with the Anglo-French 'Pirate War' of 1292 (which swiftly escalated into a fight over England's feudal possessions in Gascony) and ending with the marriage of Charles VIII of France to Anne of Brittany by which Brittany was subsumed into the French realm.
Equity-Driven Leadership in School Counseling
Drawing from the authors’ experience as former school counselors, their research on school counselor leadership and advocacy, and their professional advocacy work, this book provides insights and strategies to develop school counselors’ leadership skills. This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on self-reflection and critical consciousness for school counselors. It challenges their understanding of leadership and urges them to critically examine whether their personal definition of leadership aligns with the needs of diverse students and the broader educational context. Chapter topics include leadership and liberation, the limits of traditional leadership theories, leading with emotional intelligence, and the courage to confront systems of oppression. The second part calls the reader toward critical action and engagement in social and political activity and advocacy with the intent to disrupt and change perceived inequalities. Specific topics include developing political skills, addressing resistance to change, and developing collaborative relationships. School counselors will find this book filled with the necessary knowledge and skills to effect change in schools, districts, and the public arena for the benefit of P-12 students, particularly those from historically marginalized populations.
The Living-Green Myth
Major environmental problems threaten our planet and evoke within us a need to act – a need to do something, no matter how small, to slow the damage. But what kind of action? Businesses, governments and some environmental groups tell us that buying environmentally friendly products while living more lightly on the planet is a winning strategy. Do the little things for the earth, the story goes, and others will follow, creating an environmental tsunami of change in norms, values and behaviors. The planet will thrive. Michael Maniates isn't buying it. He believes the mantra of 'buy green, live lean, save the planet' is a con of recent and unseemly origin. It fosters pernicious assumptions about social change, separates individuals from their real power in the world, and fuels damaging consumption. It thrives because it meets the short-term priorities of governments and business, not the long-term needs of the planet's human and non-human inhabitants. Environmentally concerned individuals can make a meaningful difference in the world, and living green is a start. But alone, it can do more harm than good. We must embrace more rewarding and effective practices for saving the planet. This book shows us how.

Korean New Religions
Korea has an unusually diverse religious culture. In the north, Juche, which has taken on religious overtones, monopolizes articulations of beliefs and values as well as ritual practice. In the south, no single religion dominates, with over half saying that they have no specific religious affiliation. The remainder report being Protestant, Buddhist, and Catholic. Smaller in number but nonetheless noticeable are members of Korea's many home-grown new religious movements. Reflecting South Korea's religious diversity, some of those new religions have Buddhist roots, some have Christian origins, some draw on Confucian beliefs and practices, and some have emerged from Indigenous religious traditions such as shamanism. This Element examines the most noticeable of Korea's new religions to discover what they can tell us about distinctive traits of religion in Korea, and how Koreans have responded to the challenge posed by modernity to their traditional beliefs and values.
She Wolves
They cracked the glass ceiling and changed the face of finance.
The untold story of the women who took on Wall Street.
Long before gender diversity became a corporate buzzword, a generation of women quietly infiltrated one of the world's most exclusive - and male-dominated - clubs: Wall Street.
From the typing pools of the 1960s to the trading floors of the 1980s, these women navigated a brash, bawdy world that was built to exclude them. Along the way, they challenged entrenched sexism and racism, reshaping the financial industry from the inside out.
She Wolves is a vivid portrait of the women who dared to dream big, who re-wrote the rules and shook the foundations of power.
From the award-winning author of The Barbizon

Perhaps the most well known though least understood element of espionage, the use of honey traps can be found throughout history in religious texts, lurid headlines and pop culture mythology.Honey Trapped is the first book to fully examine the oldest and consistently effective piece of tradecraft, from the ancient world to cyber seductions. Honey Trapped tells the stories of those spies, both famous and obscure, who used sex and leveraged love to acquire sensitive information. From Greek mythology to recent investigations, the potent mix of sex and espionage is sure to enthral and entertain.
