Native American Legends Illustrated
“What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.” — Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Founded on stories and myths told orally, the wisdom of Native American peoples has been passed down through generations, revealing the origins of a tribe, chronicling the heroes who fought the gods, showing how to reach Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), exploring the nature of the True Peace and reflecting on the changing landscape with the arrival of European settlers. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Native American Legends Illustrated offers more than 80 thought-provoking proverbs on the spirit world, family, fathers and sons, animals and plants, and the changing seasons, in the words of the people who have inhabited the North American continent for thousands of years – the Iroquois, Algonquin, Cheyenne, Hopi, Dakota and Sioux – to name a few. Many quotes are from well-known Native American leaders, such as the Blackfoot warrior Crowfoot, the legendary Apache leader Geronimo, and famous Oglala Lakota medicine man Black Elk.

Emočná svižnosť: Ako prijímať zmeny a byť sám sebou
Všetci zápasíme s pochybnosťami, neistotou a obavami z toho, ako zvládame svoj osobný život, vzťahy či prácu. Mnohí tieto negatívne myšlienky povýšia na presvedčenie. Cítia, že svoje emócie nemajú pod kontrolou. Práve naopak, emócie ovládajú ich.
Susan David, uznávaná psychologička z Harvardovej univerzity, predstavuje spôsob, ako zvládať životné výzvy s otvorenou mysľou a dosiahnuť ciele, po ktorých túžite. Vychádza z viac ako 20-ročného výskumu a skúseností z praxe.
Zistila, že aj najšťastnejší ľudia čelia rovnakým obavám a prekážkam ako ktokoľvek iný. Rozdiel je iba v tom, že sa naučili odpútať od neužitočných vzorcov myslenia a správania a dokážu so svojimi emóciami pracovať. Ak však ľudia svoje emócie ignorujú, uviaznu na mieste a nedokážu sa pohnúť ďalej – bez ohľadu na to, akí sú inteligentní, odolní či kreatívni.
Emočná svižnosť je proces, ktorý vám umožní prispôsobiť sa novým okolnostiam a žiť naplno. Objavte praktické nástroje, ako prekonať neistotu a reagovať na životné výzvy s rešpektom k svojim emóciám a hodnotám.

On Antisemitism
What do we mean when we talk about antisemitism? A thoughtful, vital new intervention from the award-winning historian
'An immense contribution... In tracing the evolving meaning of 'antisemitism,' [Mazower] demonstrates persuasively how we might turn it from a weapon back into a word... Rigorous and lucid' - Lily Meyer, The New Republic'
For most of history, antisemitism has been understood as a menace from Europe's political Right, the province of blood-and-soil ethno-nativists who built on Christendom's long-standing suspicion of its Jewish population and infused it with racist pseudo-science. Such threats culminated in the nightmare of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
The landscape is very different now, as Mark Mazower argues in this piercingly brilliant book. More than four-fifths of the world's Jews now live in Israel and the United States, with the former's military dominance of its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right.
Mazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here, seeking to illuminate rather than blame. Very few words have the punch of 'antisemitism' and yet no term is more liable to be misunderstood in ways affecting free speech and foreign policy alike. On Antisemitism is a vitally important attempt to draw a line that must be drawn.

The Economic Government of the World
From a leading economic historian, this is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present
Since the Second World War, organisations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world.
Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national determination and globalization. He shows that the structures of economic government have been overwhelmingly shaped by 'first world' powers, often to the dismay of developing countries. He argues that whilst structures cannot be separated from the politics of and between the biggest economies, future global recovery rests on the reduction of inequality and that multilateral institutions are fundamental in fostering inclusive growth.

The Old Regime and the Revolution, Volume II
The continuation of Alexis de Tocqueville’s great meditation on the origins and meanings of the French Revolution. With his monumental work The Old Regime and the Revolution, Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–59)—best known for his classic Democracy in America—envisioned a multivolume philosophical study of the origins of modern France that would examine the implications of French history on the nature and development of democratic society. Volume I, which covered the eighteenth-century background to the Revolution, was published to great acclaim in 1856. On the continuation of this project, he wrote: "When this Revolution has finished its work, [this volume] will show what that work really was, and what the new society which has come from that violent labor is, what the Revolution has taken away and what it has preserved from that old regime against which it was directed." Tocqueville died in the midst of this work. Here in Volume II is all that he had completed, including the chapters he started for a work on Napoleon, notes and analyses he made in the course of researching and writing the first volume, and his notes on his preparation for his continuation. More than ever before, readers will be able to glean how Tocqueville's account of the Revolution would have come out, had he lived to finish it. This handsomely produced volume completes the set and is essential reading for anyone interested in the French Revolution or in Tocqueville’s thought.
Praktický úvod do stavebního práva
Tato kniha má za cíl provést čtenáře „bouřlivými vodami“ územního plánování a stavebního řízení, vysvětlit užívané pojmy, obvyklé postupy, ale také smysl a účel užitých institutů, pohledy institucí, stavebníka, dotčených osob i veřejnosti.
Její záběr je široký, územním plánováním počínaje a realizací konkrétního stavebního záměru konče. Dále se výklad věnuje tématům nepovolené a neoprávněné stavby, dovolené architektonické provokaci či možnosti umístění výstavby do ochranných pásem lesa, letiště, střelnice, vysokého napětí apod. Vše je přitom vysvětleno srozumitelně i pro laickou veřejnost.
Publikace je tak určena těm, kteří sami nejsou experti na územní plánování a stavební řízení – tj. notářům, advokátům, daňovým poradcům, developerům, realitním makléřům a kancelářím či vlastníkům a správcům nemovitého majetku, projektantům, architektům, stavitelům, donátorům stavebního umění a dalším.
Jak číst příběh stromu
Autor bestsellerů Tristan Gooley čtenářům otevírá brány do málo známého světa stromů, ale i do říše zázraků v přírodě všude kolem nás. Stromy k nám mluví. Sdělují důležité informace o tom, co mají společného s půdou, vodou, člověkem a jinými živými tvory, s počasím i během času. A také o svém životě, o dobrém i špatném, co zažily či zažívají. Stromy nám chtějí vyprávět, my se však musíme naučit číst jejich příběhy.
V knize Jak číst příběh stromu odhaluje Tristan Gooley na první pohled skryté stopy, klíče a znamení. Učí nás číst ve větvích a listech stromu, v jeho kůře, pupenech a květech, dokonce i v jeho pařezu. Je někde poblíž voda? Potýká se strom s nějakými problémy? Jak podle kůry poznáme nový růst? Co nám říká tvar stromu, jeho větví nebo listí naváté u paty kmene?
Každý strom je jedinečný – žádné dva nejsou úplně stejné, podobně jako sněhové vločky nebo ostatně i my, lidé. Každý rozdíl odhaluje napínavý příběh, který strom prožil. Stačí se jen zastavit a pozorně se dívat.

Dealing with Feeling
From Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, comes a life-changing guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives.
Think back to your most challenging moment - whether in your career, relationships or personal life. Did you lose control from anger? Were you paralysed by fear? Did you isolate yourself due to humiliation?
Whatever your reaction, your emotions most likely determined what you said, or did, next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, an involuntary part of ourselves - it is a skill that must be taught and refined throughout our lives. And there's no such thing as a 'bad' emotion - only the emotions we don't fully understand or haven't yet learned to channel in positive, intentional ways.
In Dealing with Feeling, Marc Brackett shares his own journey of emotional growth, explores the latest science behind our emotions and offers practical techniques to help you nurture healthy relationships, tackle life's challenges and enhance your mental wellbeing.
Life may be unpredictable, but how you respond doesn't have to be. With the transformative techniques in Dealing with Feeling you will learn to become the best version of yourself.
Against the Machine
How a force that's hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be human
In Against the Machine, "furiously gifted" (The Washington Post) novelist, poet, and essayist Paul Kingsnorth presents a wholly original-and terrifying-account of the technological-cultural matrix enveloping all of us. With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image. From the First Industrial Revolution to the rise of artificial intelligence, he shows how the hollowing out of humanity has been a long game-and how your very soul is at stake.
It takes effort to remain truly human in the age of the Machine. Here Kingsnorth reminds us what humanity requires: a healthy suspicion of entrenched power; connection to land, nature and heritage; and a deep attention to matters of the spirit. Prophetic and poetic, Against the Machine is a spiritual manual for dissidents in the technological age.
If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
AI is the greatest threat to our existence that we have ever faced.
The scramble to create superhuman AI has put us on the path to extinction - but it's not too late to change course. Two pioneering researchers in the field, Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, explain why artificial superintelligence would be a global suicide bomb and call for an immediate halt to its development.
The technology may be complex, but the facts are simple: companies and countries are in a race to build machines that will be smarter than any person, and the world is devastatingly unprepared for what will come next.
Could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Would it want to? Would it want anything at all? In this urgent book, Yudkowsky and Soares explore the theory and the evidence, present one possible extinction scenario and explain what it would take for humanity to survive.
The Oxford Dictionary of Saints, Fifth Edition Revised
Far more than a dry hagiographical account of the lives of saints, this entertaining and authoritative dictionary breathes life into its subjects and is as browsable as it is informative. First published in 1978, the Oxford Dictionary of Saints offers more than 1,700 fascinating and informative entries covering the lives, cults, and artistic associations of saints from around the world, from the famous to the obscure, the rich to the poor, and the academic to the uneducated. From all walks of life and from all periods of history and from around the world, the wide varieties of personalities and achievements of the canonized are reflected. An updated introduction explains the steps towards becoming a saint, the processes of beatification and canonization.This revised fifth edition includes appendices containing five maps of pilgrimage sites, a list of saints'' patronages and iconographical emblems, and a calendar of principal feasts, as well as a new appendix on pilgrimages.
In Praise of the Earth
The earth is not a dead, mute landscape but an eloquent, living being. Sometimes it just takes a spade, a packet of seeds, and a pair of sturdy boots to realize it. The philosopher Byung-Chul Han spent three springs, summers, autumns, and winters in his secret garden in Berlin, devoting himself to daily gardening in all weathers. For Han, gardening is a form of silent meditation, a lingering in stillness. It gives you a different sense of time. Every plant has its own time that is specific to it, and the garden is a space in which these multiple temporalities overlap and cut across one another. The longer he worked in the garden, the more respect he developed for the earth and for its enchanting beauty. Gardening taught him what care for others means. Each organism has its own consciousness of time passing; each organism lives in its own micro-universe. Step by step, Han receded from himself and the world, moving closer and closer to an exuberant, divine nature which we are increasingly in danger of losing. Through this rich meditation on plants, soil, gardening, and time, Han unfolds a way of relating to and tending the earth that is in sharp contrast to the brutal, incessant exploitation of our planet that we see all around us today.
The Bronfenbrenner Primer
This revised and updated second edition of The Bronfenbrenner Primer builds on one of the first-ever introductions to acclaimed child psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Model of Development Framework, written specifically for undergraduate students. The author provides a carefully structured, guided introduction to Bronfenbrenner’s concepts, their interpretation, and their potential applications. Bronfenbrenner’s scientific analysis of the role the environment plays in human development is essential for understanding how and why development happens, how our environments can promote healthy development, and how to address developmental issues when they arise. Shelton emphasizes building a systematic foundation for using the theory to understand real situations and apply it practically. The book describes the background and context that led Bronfenbrenner to develop his framework, illustrates a wide array of potential applications, and provides activities for students to practice applying the framework to their own experiences. This new edition includes expanded coverage on adolescents and adults, incorporating up-to-date examples relevant to life post-pandemic. It also addresses diverse perspectives and living environments and provides several applications and exercises to help explain Bronfenbrenner’s concepts. The Bronfenbrenner Primer is a highly regarded and valuable resource for students beginning their studies in Developmental Psychology, Family Science, Sociology, Health Sciences, Social Work, Education, and for anyone interested in understanding the social world.
