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.
Společnost spotřeby a její mýty
Společnost spotřeby je výstižný popis našeho novodobého otroctví, otroctví bezmezného konzumu, kterému je bezvýhradně podřízen diskurz soudobého západního světa.
Společnost spotřeby je jedním ze zásadních děl soudobé sociologie. Svým významem se řadí mezi díla, jako jsou Durkheimova Společenská dělba práce, Veblenova Teorie zahálčivé třídy nebo Osamělý dav Davida Riesmana.
Společnost spotřeby s pronikavou jasností ukazuje, jak velké technokratické korporace vyvolávají tužby, jimž nelze odolat, a vytvářejí novou společenskou hierarchii, která nahradila někdejší třídní rozdíly.
The Finest Hotel in Kabul
A sweeping and immersive history of modern Afghanistan - the first book from one of the world's leading war correspondents.
In 1969, the luxury Hotel Inter-Continental Kabul opened its doors: a glistening white box, high on a hill, that reflected Afghanistan's hopes of becoming a modern country, connected to the world.
Lyse Doucet first checked into the Inter-Continental on Christmas Eve 1988. In the decades since, she has witnessed a Soviet evacuation, a devastating civil war, the US invasion, and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban, all from within its increasingly battered walls. The Inter-Con has never closed its doors.
Now, she weaves together the experiences of the Afghans who have kept the hotel running to craft a richly immersive history of their country. It is the story of Hazrat, the septuagenarian housekeeper who still holds fast to his Inter-Continental training from the hotel's 1970s glory days - an era of haute cuisine and high fashion, when Afghanistan was a kingdom and Kabul was the 'Paris of Central Asia'. Of Abida, who became the first female chef after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. And of Malalai and Sadeq, the twenty-somethings who seized every opportunity offered by two decades of fragile democracy - only to see the Taliban come roaring back in 2021.
Through these intimate portraits of Afghan life, the story of a hotel becomes the story of a people.

I Suffer Therefore I Am
In the West today, suffering has become a new sacred cow. Once a common feature of the human condition, it is now a special trait you can use to impress your contemporaries. It provides you with a borrowed identity, transforming you into an exceptional being who can show off on the public stage at little cost. Everyone flaunts their certificate of affliction, positioning themselves above their peers. Even those who are well-off and powerful seek to find a place in the aristocracy of the margins, creating new castes of the dispossessed at the expense of the truly unfortunate. Infused with bitterness, this cult of the victim glorifies the martyr figure and feeds into the passions of revenge and resentment. This is the message of our age: we are all victims and entitled to feel sorry for ourselves. The submissive humanity of Christianity and the arrogant humanity of modernity have now been replaced by a victimized humanity allergic to distress. Pampered, coddled, raised in fear and sensitivity, how will younger generations be able to confront the chaotic world that awaits them, marked by war, violence, terrorism and climate chaos? Who will teach them the courage to endure, to face setbacks head-on, without faltering in the face of misfortune?
The Burning Earth
In this paradigm-shifting global history of how humanity has reshaped the planet, and the planet has shaped human history, Sunil Amrith twins the stories of environment and Empire, of genocide and eco-cide, of the expansion of human freedom and its costs. Drawing on an extraordinarily rich diversity of primary sources, he reckons with the ruins of Spanish silver mining in Peru, British gold mining in South Africa, and oil extraction in Central Asia. He explores the railways and highways that brought humans to new terrains of battle against each other and against nature. Amrith’s account of the ways in which the First and Second World Wars involved the massive mobilization not only of men, but of other natural resources from around the globe, provides an essential new way of understanding war as an irreversible reshaping of the planet. He also reveals the reality of migration as consequence of environmental harm.
The imperial, globe-spanning pursuit of profit, joined with new forms of energy and new possibilities of freedom from hunger and discomfort, freedom to move and explore, has brought change to every inch of the Earth. Amrith relates, on the largest canvas, a mind-altering epic – vibrant with stories, characters, and vivid images – in which humanity might find the collective wisdom to save itself.
When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...
Steven Pinker, one of the world's greatest thinkers and bestselling author of Enlightenment Now, The Better Angels of Our Nature and The Language Instinct, reveals the power and perils of thinking alike
As a cognitive scientist, the ultimate subject of Steven Pinker's fascination is how we think about each other's thoughts, ad infinitum. It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness, which we experience as something that is public or "out there," is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives.
Common knowledge, Pinker shows, can make sense of many of life's enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that come out of nowhere, the posturing and pretence of diplomacy, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture, the awkwardness of a first date. But people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge-to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can't know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room.
In exploring the paradoxes of human behaviour, When Everyone Knows that Everyone Knows… invites us to understand the ways we try to get into each other's heads, and the harmonies, hypocrisies, and outrages that result.
No Is Not a Lonely Utterance
A moving exploration of the solace and power of listening in an unjust world, from the author of The Feminist Killjoy Handbook
'Behind many disasters are unheard complaints'
To complain is an intimate, dangerous act. Whether it's speaking up about racism in the workplace or taking a stand against sexual harassment at university, the act of complaining to an institution can leave you isolated and undermined, all while the original injustice remains unresolved. Time and time again, we see these unanswered complaints compound to disastrous effect.
In No is Not a Lonely Utterance, Sara Ahmed dissects the anatomy of a complaint, revealing how institutions create hostile environments that stigmatize complainers, and charts a way we can listen to grievances with 'feminist ears': going beyond mere validation and seeking instead to address the root causes of injustice and inequality.
Weaving together testimonies from various walks of life, Ahmed shows us what we learn about the ways institutions exercise their power when complaints are raised, and indeed what we learn about our capacity to collectivize and create social bonds through complaint. In doing so, she inspires us to create better environments for our life's work.
Inspiration
Inspiration propels us. It’s the basis of every accomplishment. But the idea that it simply falls into your lap is a myth. Inspiration doesn’t come to us in a gust of wind, only to disappear into the mist again. You make it happen; it’s a reward for work that you’ve already done. The combination of perspiration and inspiration takes you to where you want to go. In this ode to what is perhaps the brain’s greatest achievement, Ap Dijksterhuis explains, with a storyteller’s verve, what inspiration is, why we have it, how it works and how to get it. Drawing upon on the most up-to-date research in neuroscience and psychology, he shows how inspiration stands in relation to creativity, motivation, curiosity and the overall functioning of the brain. Ultimately, inspiration is not a privilege granted to a talented few: everyone who chooses inspiration will benefit from it. Including you.
Super Agers
A detailed guide to a revolution transforming human longevity -- a breakthrough moment in the history of human health care -- from one of the most respected medical researchers in the world.
In this breakthrough moment in the history of human health care, Super Agers is an evidenced-based guide to the revolution transforming human longevity. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr Topol explains how you can benefit from new the treatments becoming available at a faster rate than ever, and the fundamental reasons - from semaglutides to AI - that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue.
More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic diseases, with that figure increasing to over half in individuals aged 65 and older. Dr Topol explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers - diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration-and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Super Agers describes.
These remarkable discoveries are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself.
A Psychoanalytic Approach to Refugee Mental Health
A Psychoanalytic Approach to Refugee Mental Health reflects on psychoanalytic work with vulnerable people during the refugee crisis. Chrysi Giannoulaki describes her work as a supervisor of groups of caregivers dealing with the mental health of refugees and occasionally as a psychiatrist of refugees in Moria, Lesvos, and in Athens. The book explores work with complex refugee cases that involve major economic, political, and social issues, with victims of sexual violence, and with unaccompanied minors. Exploring the potential of psychoanalytic theory of trauma and psychosis, clinical psychoanalytic thinking to foster integration, and tolerance of the extremely traumatized individual within networks of social relations, the book acts protectively against moments of xenophobia and polarization. A Psychoanalytic Approach to Refugee Mental Health will be essential reading for psychoanalytically informed mental health professionals, especially those working with refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable patients.
The Healing Power of Korean Letter Writing
Letters have been here all along, quietly influencing countless people in profound ways. They encourage, they bring happiness, while to some they even provide the will to keep on living.
Geulwoll is a Korean word for 'letter'. It is also the name of a small, unassuming letter shop, located on the third floor of a shabby building in the bustling heart of Seoul. People visit from all over to write and send letters to loved ones - and to strangers.
————-
Everyone likes letters. One of their charms is that we can't see what's inside right away: there's an anticipation in unsealing the mysteries held within.
In The Healing Power of Korean Letter Writing, Juhee Mun reveals the lost art of the handwritten letter: how it can ground and centre us, improve and repair our relationships with others and foster a culture of contemplation, reflection and togetherness.
This book is not about rules or right answers for writing letters. It is about embracing the power of what happens when you choose to carve out the time to write them.

Élet ADHD-val
Az ADHD-val élőkre gyakran pirítanak rá azzal, hogy "Igyekezz jobban!" vagy "Szedd össze magad!", pedig ezek a "jótanácsok" nem igazán segítenek. Jessica McCabe, író, színésznő és youtuber, az Élet ADHD-val című kötet szerzője leplezetlen őszinteséggel mutatja be saját példáján keresztül, milyen ADHD-val élni. A könyvből megtudhatjuk, milyen hatással van az ADHD a mindennapi életre, milyen szerepe van ebben a végrehajtó funkciók károsodásának, a figyelemszabályozási nehézségeknek, vagy éppen az elutasításra való érzékenységnek. Megismerhetjük azokat a módszereket és technikákat, amelyek élhetőbbé tették a szerző életét: a How to ADHD nevű online közösség tagjaitól származó idézetek, a jól áttekinthető fejezetek és a neurodivergens olvasóra szabott kiemelt szövegrészek segíteni fognak az érintetteknek abban, hogyan alakítsák ki hatékonyabban a környezetüket, a mindennapi rutinjaikat és hogyan tehetik szervezettebbé az életüket. A szerzőnő véleménye szerint kulcsfontosságú, hogy ne akarjunk küzdeni a természetes adottságaink ellen. A neurotipikus agy számára berendezett világban akkor képesek a neurodivergens aggyal rendelkezők is sikerrel boldogulni, ha próbálják megérteni az agyuk sajátos működését. A cél az, hogy ne ellene dolgozzanak, hanem tanulják meg, hogyan tudnak együttműködni vele.

Autorita věřícího
Máme snad autoritu, o níž nemáme tušení? Autoritu, kterou jsme doposud neobjevili a kterou nepoužíváme? To jsou otázky, které si Hagin často kladl již jako mladý kazatel. V knize Autorita věřícího říká: „Tu a tam jsem zahlédl letmý záblesk duchovní autority. Stejně jako všichni ostatní jsem na ni čas od času narazil a uplatňoval ji, aniž bych rozuměl tomu, co vlastně přesně dělám.
Na základě svého studia jsem došel k závěru, že jako Církev máme na zemi autoritu, o jejíž existenci nikdo z nás doposud neměl tušení. Někteří z nás se k ní tak tak přiblížili, ale než se Ježíš znovu vrátí, bude tu již celý zástup věřících, kteří povstanou v autoritě, která jim náleží… a díky tomu budou schopni vykonat dílo, které pro ně Bůh připravil.
V této knize také objevíte:
• Pavlovy modlitby
• Co je to autorita
• Jak zrušit ďáblovu moc
• Boží zbroj
• Jak uplatňovat autoritu v Kristu
Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka
Publikace Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka se soustřeďuje na vyvrcholení partyzánské činnosti v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava během posledních měsíců druhé světové války v Evropě. Závěrečný díl knižní trilogie není ani monotematický, ani obsahově tolik sevřený jako publikace předchozí. Přináší řadu krátkých, informačně nabitých kapitol, které rámují příběh partyzánských skupin na Moravě v období jejich vrcholné činnosti, tj. od porážky Slovenského národního povstání do českého povstání v květnu 1945. Některé z příběhů nebyly záměrně zařazeny do prvních dílů, některé vykrystalizovaly až na základě studia archivního materiálu poté. V každém případě je jejich zveřejnění přínosem v interpretaci problematiky partyzánského hnutí v protektorátu jako takovém. Toto téma je ostatně historiky stále pomíjeno a přehlíženo, stejně jako problematika domácího komunistického odboje. Střípky příběhů, které jsou obsaženy v publikaci Partyzánské otazníky aneb co ukryla válka dokreslují původní načrtnuté příběhy, zasazují je do pevnějšího rámce – a to vše na pozadí dramatických posledních měsíců druhé světové války, kdy partyzánské hnutí dosáhlo co do počtu aktivních skupin i co do počtu jejich bojových střetů s nepřítelem, destrukcí a sabotáží absolutního vrcholu. Kniha obsahuje odkazy na archivní materiály, bohatou fotografickou dokumentaci (cca 85 fotografií), seznam zkratek, odkazy na použité prameny a literaturu. V knize jsou zaznamenány i autentické výpovědi, dnes již zemřelých účastníků uvedených akcí. Kniha je volným pokračováním knih Partyzánská odysea a osud Věry Pilařové (2012) a Partyzáni Vysočiny a krvavý konec války (2015). Kniha prošla jazykovou úpravou a odbornou recenzí historikem PhDr. J. B. Uhlířem, Ph.D., z Prahy.
