The Store Of Life
What would you put in your basket if you were to shop at the Store of Life? Your decisions fill the basket of your existence. This insightful and imaginative book takes you on a curated shopping experience through life itself, prompting deep reflection on your choices and gently nudging you toward a life of purpose and joy. Along the way, you''ll discover practical "shopping hacks" to fill the jars of your mind, body, and soul—guiding you toward becoming the best version of yourself. As you wander through aisles of possibility, you''ll notice that some items, like envy and anger, are sold at ridiculously low prices. But when they pile up, they leave little room for kindness, patience, or happiness. Are they truly worth the cost? Or would you rather pick up the priceless bundles of forgiveness, legacy, and inner peace?
Culpable
'If anyone still doubts that 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire because successive governments took away safety measures in the name of profit, this lucid, luminously written book will put them straight' - Francis BeckettIn June 2017, a fire broke out in the 25-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in West London. 72 people died in what was the worst residential fire in Britain since World War II. Culpable is a searing indictment of the government’s role in this tragedy. For nearly four decades, the ministers responsible for public safety systematically dismantled regulations through privatisation and deregulation, enabling the contractors who made Grenfell Tower a ticking time bomb. Despite warnings from professionals (including the FBU), politicians from successive governments imposed deregulation in the name of the market and in favour of private profiteers. Meticulously researched, and drawing on the extensive findings of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, Culpable sets the record straight and challenges readers to consider the fundamental issues of power and violence that remain unresolved in the aftermath of Grenfell.
Radical Abundance
'Rigorously argued and radically hopeful' - Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism'Indispensable ... resets the terms of left debate' - Jodi Dean, author of Capital's GraveCapitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance, where we have too much of what we don’t need and too little of what we do. Through this system’s pursuit of profits, we have been put on a collision course with social and ecological limits that can no longer be ignored. We need an alternative. We need radical abundance. A world of human and non-human flourishing made possible by democratically planned production. But radical abundance can’t just be voted into existence through parliamentary means, it must be made by taking control of our collective reproduction in the here and now. Packed with fascinating research and real-life examples of communal planning and resistance, this book will convince you that a better future is possible, if we want it.
Radical Antiquity
'Unearthing the ancient world’s anarchist cultures, Zeichmann presents a compelling argument that authority may itself have always been the real aberration. Highly recommended' - Alan Moore, writer, activist, performerWhen you think of Ancient Greece and Rome, what do you see? The Acropolis and the Colosseum? Perhaps the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, and the rule of the Caesars? Or the birth of democracy and the vast reach of an empire? This well-trodden history of great thinkers, military leaders, and early state formation in the classical world enthralls us still, but it tells only half the story… How democratic was Athenian democracy? How much power did states actually wield beyond their city walls? And who looked upon the systems of domination that prevailed and sought to create something differen? adical Antiquity takes you on a unique journey in search of anarchy, statelessness, and social experimentation in the Graeco-Roman world. Sweeping across the Mediterranean from the time of the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE until the emergence of Islam in 610 CE, Christopher B. Zeichmann introduces the reader to communities of escaped slaves, pirates, and religious sects—all of whom sought a more egalitarian way of life that avoided the coercion, hierarchy, and exploitation of the state. This history from below brings the experiences of common and marginal people out of obscurity, and radically expands our understanding of social and political life in the classical world.

Šťastie je veda
Sedem prednášok o kvalitnom živote
„Všimli ste si, že malé deti sú v podstate stále šťastné? Dokážu sa tešiť z maličkostí. Skáču do kaluží, váľajú sa v blate, hrajú sa s halúzkami. Kam sa potom všetka tá radosť podeje? Zo šťastných malých detí sa často stanú nešťastní dospelí, ktorí sú nespokojní so svojím životom.“
Ako byť šťastným dospelým? Profesor Bruce Hood čerpá zo svojich odborných znalostí z vývinovej psychológie a neurovedy a dáva na túto otázku odpoveď. Sériu prednášok o vedeckom prístupe k chápaniu šťastia, ktorá je základom tejto knihy, absolvovali tisíce študentov a učiteľov. Dobrovoľný kurz si zvolili napriek tomu, že zaň nezískali žiadne kredity, a jeho výsledky boli také presvedčivé, že ho Bristolská univerzita zaradila medzi akreditované predmety.
Kniha Šťastie je veda spája poznatky z výskumu s praktickými cvičeniami, ktoré vám pomôžu sústrediť sa na svoje silné stránky, neporovnávať sa s ostatnými a vidieť to dobré vo vašich životoch. V siedmich kapitolách sa dozviete, ako prelomiť negatívne myšlienkové vzorce a znovu sa spojiť s ľuďmi a vecami, na ktorých skutočne záleží.

Afrika. Dejiny, kultúra a súčasnosť neznámeho kontinentu
Predstava Afriky ako temného kontinentu obývaného ľuďmi bez histórie, civilizácie či kultúry je na Slovensku stále prítomná, a tento fascinujúci kút sveta ostáva málo známym aj najmenej pochopeným. Kniha Afrika: Dejiny, kultúra a súčasnosť neznámeho kontinentu rozpráva jej príbeh objektívnou, vyváženou a čitateľsky príťažlivou formou. Pripravili ju slovenskí a českí odborníci a odborníčky venujúci sa odlišným africkým regiónom, spoločnosti, kultúre, politike i dejinám. Experti z viacerých vedných disciplín vyvracajú rôzne mýty či polopravdy, často zdedené ešte z čias kolonializmu, a upozorňujú, že budúcnosť Európy v 21. storočí leží práve v Afrike.

Konflikt
Generál David Petraeus a oceňovaný historik Andrew Roberts v této komplexní studii zkoumají více než 70 let konfliktů a z aktuální analýzy minulosti vyvozují významné poznatky a ponaučení.
Petraeus a Roberts na základě svých odlišných pohledů a odborných znalostí ukazují, jak často se znovu opakují kritické chyby a jak je pro státníky i generály náročné naučit se přizpůsobovat různým novým zbraňovým systémům, teoriím a strategiím. Mezi zkoumané konflikty autoři zařadili arabsko-izraelské války, korejskou a vietnamskou válku, obě války v Perském zálivu, balkánské války v bývalé Jugoslávii a sovětskou i koaliční válku v Afghánistánu, stejně jako partyzánské konflikty v Africe a Jižní Americe.
Konflikt vrcholí odvážným pohledem na Putinovu katastrofální invazi na Ukrajinu, jež je další případovou studií tragických následků neochoty vůdců poučit se z historie. Nalezneme zde celou řadu bystrých postřehů podepřených moudrostí získanou zkušenostmi. Kniha Konflikt přináší nejen kritické zhodnocení naší nedávné minulosti, ale je také základní učebnicí moderního válčení, jež poskytuje zásadní znalosti nezbytné pro vedení boje dnes i pro pochopení toho, co přinesou nadcházející desetiletí.

The Magic Kingdom and the Meaning of Life
What truths and life lessons can we take away from a seemingly trivial theme park in Orlando, Florida? Father and philosopher Adam Kadlac reflects on his own visits to Walt Disney World, arguing that Disney theme parks are a remarkably fruitful environment in which to reflect on the human condition. On the one hand, engagement with the worlds of Disney is a pervasive feature of many people's everyday experience. On the other hand, the fantastical nature of Disney theme parks casts light on aspects of our lives that may otherwise seem unremarkable. If, on a day out at the Magic Kingdom, we pause to absorb our surroundings, our thoughts can quickly turn to all sorts of important topics and questions: authenticity and pleasure; what it means for corporations to play such a large role in our culture; whether nostalgia is always bad; and, of course, princesses (so, so many princesses. The Magic Kingdom and the Meaning of Life will challenge Disney lovers and sceptics alike to think more deeply about the things that matter to them.
Who Owns Beauty?
Beauty belongs to no one. But what about the objects that museums celebrate as great works of art: to whom do they belong? Do they belong to the places where they originated? To the cultures whose genius they embody? To the enlightened collectors who saw their value and appropriated them? Or to the whole of humanity which has access to them through institutions dedicated to their preservation? And if the latter, how can we justify the fact that some people are able to enjoy what is supposed to be a universally shared heritage while others cannot? We can begin to answer these questions, argues Bénédicte Savoy, by examining how these objects actually came to be with us and what their journeys reveal about our history and its violence and asymmetries, both symbolic and real. These objects have no doubt left their mark on the places where they arrived; they have also left wounds that are still raw in the places from which they came. The bust of Nefertiti, the Great Pergamon Altar, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, the ‘Sistine Madonna’, the Old Summer Palace bronze heads, Watteau’s L'Enseigne de Gersaint, the ‘Bangwa Queen’, Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the Benin bronzes: through the journeys of these iconic works, Savoy reflects on desire and domination, on rupture and restitution, and on the profound emotions evoked by beauty when it is laced with the pain of historical loss. This timely and highly original reflection on beauty, provenance, power, and loss will be essential reading for all those concerned with the preservation and restitution of cultural objects and it will appeal to anyone interested in art, culture, and politics today.
Germany
Few countries are more haunted by the darker aspects of their history than Germany. Nazi crimes continue to cast a long shadow at home and abroad. Germans have nevertheless managed to put their violent, genocidal past behind them, creating a peaceful and prosperous democracy at the heart of Europe. In this refreshing book, Andrew I. Port tells the story of that extraordinary transformation. Tracing the histories of the Eastern and Western halves of postwar Germany in tandem, he highlights their obvious differences and unexpected commonalities. This novel approach explains not only the country’s many accomplishments since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but also the challenges it has faced – from the difficulty of unifying two distinct societies to violent forms of xenophobia and the rise of extremist parties. Whether the Federal Republic remains a stable and successful power is the new "German Question" of the twenty-first century.
Geostorky aneb Tak bude trochu tepleji...
Ve volném pokračování Geostorek se tentokrát vydáme po stopách jedné zdánlivě nevinné věty: "No a co, tak bude trochu tepleji…" Co všechno se ale pod tímhle povzdechem skrývá?

Odkud se na sibiřském poloostrově vzaly ty podivné krátery? Vadí, že se Středozemní moře na podzim vypařuje rychleji, než se to dělo dříve? Proč se pteropodům rozpouštějí schránky a z jakého důvodu přítok Amazonky změnil svou barvu? Ve dvaadvaceti napínavých příbězích se podíváme na to, jak probíhající změna globálního klimatu proměňuje náš svět - od krajiny, v níž žijeme, až po každodenní životy nás všech. Po desítkách tisíců prodaných kusů svých knih přichází autorská dvojice vědce Petra Brože a ilustrátorky Lucie Škodové s dalším titulem pro dospělé. Kniha nás zavede k zásadním vědeckým objevům, které vysvětlují, proč se klima mění, co tento proces pohání a kam až by mohl vést. Připravte se na napínavou cestu do budoucnosti. Nebude to snadné čtení - ale jedno vám slibujeme: až otočíte poslední stránku, změnu klimatu už nikdy nebudete brát na lehkou váhu.

The Refusalist International
The many mass protests that have taken place since 2011 have been characterised by an unmistakable need to challenge, overthrow and destroy the prevailing political representations without proposing new ones. The protests are not concerned with replacing the current government or leader with others, and thus getting a better version of what we already have. Instead, they refuse all leaders, including the most critical opposition leaders: these protests are about dismantling the need for leaders. More and more people are coming to the view that it is not possible to manage the many crises within the framework of the political institutions we have today. The new protests are political acts that are neither class struggle nor the establishment of an opposition to those in power. Rasmussen argues that we should understand these protests as the emergence of a new kind of revolutionary action that is as much an anthropological as a political transformation: it is an attempt to break free from all the traditional notions of how the social context that we call society and the nation-state is organised.
The Diver of Paestum
Since its discovery in 1968, the painting of a diver on a tomb in Paestum, originally the Greek colony of Poseidonia in southern Italy, has left viewers spellbound. It depicts a beautiful and enigmatic scene: a young man dives headfirst into the water from a cliff or tower. The image is joined by others from the same tomb depicting a banquet of young people drinking wine, playing games and enjoying music. Understanding this painting is often seen as a key to unlocking some of the mysteries of ancient Greek culture – and therein lies the puzzle. What is the meaning of the diver? Is it, as many have argued, a metaphorical representation of the passage from life to a world beyond? The eminent art historian Tonio Hölscher rejects this view, arguing that there is nothing symbolic or metaphorical about the painting: the scenes celebrate the real lives of the Greek colonists of the early 5th century BC. The painting captures a young man’s spirited personality and pursuits during a life which may have been short, but was lived to the full. In a groundbreaking reversal of how the painting is typically interpreted, this book opens a window onto the world of Ancient Greece and its culture of athleticism, eroticism, love for nature and enjoyment of the sea. A joyful ode to youth, it is above all a unique portrait of the zest for life in Antiquity.

Genesis
Unraveling creation, covenant, and family in a foundational biblical narrative.In this thought-provoking addition to the Old Testament Library, David L. Petersen offers a fresh reading of the book of Genesis, understanding it to address the creation of the universe, the beginnings of human culture, and the origins of Israel, all of which are anchored in the central motif of family. Petersen traces the intricate lives and relationships of the ancestral families—from the story of Adam and Eve to the captivating narrative of Joseph. Accordingly, he illuminates the ways in which the stories and genealogies in Genesis portray diverse familial structures, values, conflicts, and religious behaviors.Employing a rich array of critical approaches—source, form, and redaction criticism, along with literary and social-scientific analysis—Petersen explores the cultural and theological dimensions of Genesis. He highlights the way in which the book’s narrative arc transforms Abraham and Sarah’s family into a people, a foundational identity that shapes Israel’s self-understanding. This volume also engages contemporary scholarship on the formation of the Pentateuch, reassessing traditional theories about the origins of Genesis. Petersen reveals how the book emerged out of theological debates, integrating originally distinct literary traditions into a narrative through the unifying motif of family.Both accessible and rich with scholarly insight, Genesis: A Commentary provides readers with a fresh translation and a comprehensive lens to understand the book of Genesis as a literary and religious masterpiece. This book is an essential resource for students, scholars, and others seeking to explore the profound themes of creation, covenant, family, identity, and theological dynamics in this foundational biblical text.About the Old Testament LibraryThe Old Testament Library series provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general surveys. The contributors are scholars of international standing. The editorial board consists of William P. Brown, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary; Brent A. Strawn, Professor of Old Testament and Professor of Law, Duke University; and C. L. Crouch, Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism, Radboud University.
Clout City
Unearths the religious and cultural roots of a powerful political machine that empowered some everyday Chicagoans but ruled all of the city for decades. In politics, clout is essential. Too often, it determines whether insider access is granted or denied, favors are given or withheld, and payoffs are made or received. But Chicago clout, as we know it today, is even more potent than that—it’s the absolute currency of a social, cultural, and political order that is self-reinforcing and self-dealing. Or, at least, it was. In Clout City, award-winning historian Dominic A. Pacyga reveals how cultural, ethnic, and religious forces created this distinctive system—and ultimately led to its collapse. Tracing clout’s origins in the Irish Catholic–dominated working-class neighborhood of Bridgeport, shaped by De La Salle Institute and home to the legendary Daley family, Pacyga shows how communal ties can be a force for good and also the deepest wellspring of corruption. He maps Chicago’s unique politics to its remarkable history, from the Great Fire of 1871 through its rise and decline as an industrial center to its emergence as a global city in the early twenty-first century. With deep research and firsthand experience from a lifetime in the city, Pacyga argues that Chicago’s politics is understood best as a mixture of cultural and religious influences and more worldly pursuits, exploring how both Jewish and Catholic communalism played central roles in the creation and sustenance of the Chicago machine. Chicago’s politics today aren’t as defined by its distinctive brand of clout. But they are shaped by clout’s decline and the ghost of the machine. Pacyga’s tour of the city’s multilayered past is an indispensable guide to its present and future.
Literary Gardens

From The Secret Garden and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Rebecca and The Great Gatsby, these fictional gardens capture the atmosphere and emotion of the stories they belong to. Some feel peaceful or nostalgic, others are rich with mystery or unspoken tension - each is shaped by the characters and moments that are revealed within them. In Literary Gardens, readers will uncover new stories and rediscover old favourites, guided by Sandra Lawrence's lyrical storytelling and Lucille Clerc's evocative vision.
Literary Gardens is a tribute to the spaces that have stayed with us long after the final page - a perfect gift for yourself, or anyone who has ever wanted to step through the page and into another world.
