Neznámé kapitoly z letecké války 1939-1945
V největším vojenském konfliktu všech dob sehrálo důležitou roli letectvo. Piloti a další členové posádek během let 1939 až 1945 prožili mnohé situace, během kterých tuhnula krev v žilách. Někteří vyvázli, jiní zaplatili cenu nejvyšší. Tato kniha mapuje incidenty a příběhy z východní i západní fronty, ze severu Afriky i z nedozírných modrých plání Pacifiku. Zachycuje momenty leteckých soubojů, nouzových přistání, zázračných přežití i tragických konců. To vše doplněné bohatým obrazovým materiálem.

The Ecology Book
Get to grips with the key concepts that have shaped the way we think about the environment, ecosystems, and biodiversity, and our role in protecting the planet.
Packed with short, pithy explanations of more than 90 of the key milestones and groundbreaking ideas within the field, The Ecology Book is the perfect one-stop guide to the subject. Untangling knotty theories and shedding light on complex concepts, the book explores and explains each one through a combination of easy-to-follow text, memorable quotes, and innovative graphics.
Straddling biology, geology, geography, and environmentalism, individual entries explore everything from the ideas of classical thinkers and Enlightenment attempts to control nature, to discoveries such as the biosphere and renewable energy to theories like the Gaia hypothesis. The book also covers "green" issues - from the impact of pesticides and the plight of vulnerable species to the search for renewable energy - throughout, and features profiles of influential figures from Charles Darwin and Carl Linnaeus to Rachel Carson and William Nordhaus.
Whether you are new to ecology, a student of the subject, or simply concerned about what is happening to our planet, this is an essential introduction to the environment and climate change. Fully revised and updated with eight brand-new pages of content, The Ecology Book is a truly accessible and comprehensive guide to what is arguably the most important subject of our time.
Boldogságnapló

Runy a jak je číst
Tajemství znaků, které vyprávějí dějiny severní Evropy.
Runy nejsou jen písmem – tyto prastaré znaky tesané do kamene a vyřezávané do dřeva či kovu uchovávají příběhy celých národů, jejich víru i každodenní život. Vznikly jako různé formy abeced, které se v průběhu staletí vyvíjely a proměňovaly. Mezi nejznámější patří starší a mladší futhark, anglosaský futhork a gotická runová abeceda.
Tento velký obrazový průvodce nabízí přehled hlavních abeced, písem, symbolů i významných runových kamenů z jejich domoviny ve Skandinávii a na Britských ostrovech. Ukazuje, jak runy vznikaly, jak se používaly a proč dodnes fascinují dějepisce, badatele i laiky. Množství ilustrací a fotografií vás vtáhne do světa dávných civilizací a vyprávění spojených s nejznámějšími nápisy.
Historický výklad završuje část věnovaná čtení run a tradičním principům věštění. Kniha tak dává kompletní pohled na runy a současně inspiraci těm, kteří chtějí porozumět runám i jako symbolickému nástroji.
Objevte, jak runy vznikly, jak putovaly starou Evropou a jakou moc jim lidé přikládali – od doby bronzové, přes kulturu Vikingů, slavné umělce 19. století až po fantaskní světy J. R. R. Tolkiena. Nechte se strhnout příběhem znaků, které odhalují víc, než je zřejmé na první pohled…
A Smith Jeremiás Ösztöndíj - Magyar mérnök- és elitképzés a két világháború közötti Magyarországon
Rapali Vivien Regina a 20. századi magyar műszaki értelmiség és elitképzés történetének kutatója. Első önálló könyve kézbe vehető eredménye annak az izgalmas kutatói folyamatnak, amely az egyre komplexebbé váló történeti alapkutatását követi végig lépésről lépésre. Egy eddig feltáratlan, a hazai elitképzést érintő oktatáspolitikai kísérlet, egy speciális ösztöndíj monografikus feldolgozását ugyanakkor a témán messze túlmutató társadalomtörténeti elemzés és gazdag adattár egészíti ki.
Örömmel ajánlom ezt a kiadványt a felsőoktatás története, az értelmiségformálódás és a társadalmi mobilitás kérdései, a 20. századi magyar oktatáspolitika és társadalomtörténet mélyebb rétegei iránt érdeklődők számára.
Hiszem továbbá, hogy sok magyar család őriz olyan történetet, amely egy mérnökhöz kötődik, egy felmenőhöz, aki a Műegyetemen tanult, ott végzett, és tudásával hozzájárult az ország gyarapodásához. Az elmúlt évszázadok alatt ez az intézmény nem csupán diplomákat adott, hanem sorsokat formált és közösségeket épített. A kötetet ezért azoknak is ajánlom, akik e személyes családi emlékek nyomán érdeklődnek a múlt iránt.

Egy buddhista szerzetes útmutatója a boldogsághoz
„Thubten világosan szemlélteti, miért van mindannyiunknak szüksége meditációra és tudatos jelenlétre az életünkben.”
Benedict Cumberbatch
Mindannyian boldogságra vágyunk, ám ha a megelégedettséget anyagi javakban, státusban vagy birtoklásban keressük, könnyen csalódunk.
Gelong Thubten, világsztárok és szilícium-völgyi vezetők tanítója, megmutatja, hogyan lelhetünk békére és örömre a belső világunk felfedezésén keresztül. A meditáció és a mindfulness nem pusztán stresszcsökkentő vagy relaxációs technika, hanem a tartós, mély boldogság kulcsa.
Nem kell elvonulnunk a hegyekbe: elég néhány tudatos pillanat a mindennapokban, és egy nagyváros közepén is teljesen másképp élhetünk. A buddhista szerzetes és meditációs oktató egyszerű, gyakorlatias tanításokon keresztül vezet végig azon az úton, amely segít lelassítani, újra kapcsolódni önmagunkhoz, és felfedezni a tartós örömöt – ott, ahol mindig is volt: bennünk.
100 Diaries that Chronicled World Events
Oscar Wilde once wrote "I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train." This book is your opportunity to discover a compendium of the most celebrated, revelatory, notorious and heart-wrenching diaries from the great, the good and the truly evil.
100 Diaries that Chronicled World Events introduces us to the world's greatest diarists. Including the historical journals of Samuel Pepys and Anne Frank; snapshots of culture in the diaries of Frida Kahlo and Kurt Cobain; and windows into the past from Queen Victoria and John Adams.
These published journals present a unique insight into their time and place, featuring a diverse range of accounts from all over the world. Discover the doomed log of Arctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott and the philandering antics of Samuel Pepys: as well as the less well-known diary of Jakob Walter, a foot soldier who gave a vivid insight into the Napoleonic wars, or Mary Chesnut, a privileged planter's wife in South Carolina, who chronicled the South's decline in the Civil War.
The Immortalists
What does it mean for us all when death is treated as a glitch and Silicon Valley invests in the "science" of eternal life?
From the epic of Gilgamesh to the alchemy of the philosopher's stone, humanity's eternal quest for immortality - and its rejuvenation tricks, therapies and tinctures - has always been our most mortal endeavour.
But now the giants of invention and investment are building a fountain of youth of their own creation: one they not only engineer, but also own and control. Death is simply their next problem to solve, an expression of a hubris that regards humans as appliances to be fixed and machines to be upgraded. By harnessing technology to 'cure' ageing, and funding cutting-edge - and often controversial - research, today's immortalists are locked in an arms race to pocket the profits of longevity.
What was once a wild west of experimentation has wormed its way into Washington's corridors of power. Award-winning broadcaster and academic Aleks Krotoski journeys from cult fringes to the heartlands of government to meet the moguls, effective altruists, geroscientists and entrepreneurs who are disrupting death. Along the way she encounters radical life extensionists transfusing their teenage son's blood, transhumanists who want to upload consciousness to the cloud, biohackers flogging AI-powered wellness apps and billionaire kingmakers building brand-new nations.
This razor-sharp investigation asks: do we really want a handful of Silicon Valley powerbrokers to be the architects of our forever?
Blessed Among Us
This companion volume to Robert Ellsberg’s bestselling resource Blessed Among Us offers even more reflections on the inspiring, if also eclectic, “cloud of witnesses.” Since the early centuries, Christians have held up saintly people as models of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the Church officially recognizes a relatively small number of saints, the actual roster is infinitely wider. Blessed Among Us explores this eclectic “Cloud of Witnesses”—lay and religious, single and married, canonized and not, and even non-Christians whose faith and wisdom may illuminate our path. Brought to life in the evocative storytelling of Robert Ellsberg, they inspire the moral imagination and give witness to the myriad ways of holiness. In two stories per day for over a full calendar year, Ellsberg sketches figures from biblical times to the present age and from all corners of the world—ordinary figures whose extraordinary lives point to the new age in the world to come. Blessed Among Us is drawn from Ellsberg’s acclaimed column of the same name in Give Us This Day, a monthly resource for daily prayer published by Liturgical Press.

The Romans
'At last, a history of the Roman state as it has always been crying out to be told, and never has been!' RODERICK BEATON
The greatest empire in Western history - told as never been told before.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. But for over two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions, and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted, and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the untold story of a civilisation that endured.
In The Romans, acclaimed historian Edward J. Watts tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic sweep: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic, the coming of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the rise of Islam and the onslaught of the Crusaders who would bring about the empire's end. This is the Rome of Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Constantine. But it is also the Rome of Charlemagne, Justinian, and Manuel Comnenus, and countless diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
An expansive, eye-opening portrait, this is the definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Jane Austens Bookshelf
Publishing to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.
It all started with a book that made me curious.
When rare books dealer Rebecca Romney found an emerald clothbound edition of Evelina by Frances Burney, she was happy to discover that she'd stumbled across a novel by one of Jane Austen's favourite authors. Inspired by the connection between the two writers, she returned to Austen's books with a new lens, picking out clues sprinkled throughout her works that pointed to the writers she had admired.
Austen read William Shakespeare, John Milton, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Richardson, all authors Rebecca had read. But Austen also read Frances Burney, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Lennox, Hannah More, Charlotte Smith, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hester Piozzi, and Maria Edgeworth, all authors Romney hadn't. These female writers all sat proudly on Austen's bookshelf, but have disappeared from ours.
Romney became fascinated with these writers and wanted to answer three important questions: What were the stories behind the lives of these women? Why have they disappeared from our bookshelves? Who wrote them out of history? She had a mission, an obligation: she needed to collect Jane Austen's bookshelf.
Kingdom
Accompanying the landmark BBC natural history documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough, and featuring stunning full-colour photography.
Five years, four powerful animal families. Who will rule the Kingdom?
Zambia's spectacular Luangwa Valley contains ideal leopard territory. It also hosts one of the highest densities of wild dogs ever recorded, one of the ten remaining strongholds of lions left in Africa and is home to one of the few hyena populations to be studied in depth.
Kingdom chronicles the real-life saga of four animal families as each one stakes their claim here for a territory called Nsefu. Over the course of five years, this story follows the twists and turns of their interconnected lives. Leopard mother Olimba is busy bringing up her two cubs, when wild dog Storm arrives, fiercely determined to make this place home for her pack. Hyenas Tenta and Tandala walk a tightrope between following their rivals for food, whilst keeping themselves and their cubs safe; and the lion pride strive to secure their control of this territory for generations to come.
Featuring stunning full-colour photography, Kingdom charts the uplifting highs of these real animal characters, as well as their heart-rending lows, as they jostle for power and their family's survival.
Islanded
A groundbreaking retelling of the advent of British rule in Sri Lanka. How did the modern nation of Sri Lanka come to be? In search of an answer to this question, Islanded returns us to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and to the advance of the British on the kingdom of Kandy. This advance saw the fall of the last foothold of kingly rule, centered in the highlands of the island. The British undertook a process of “islanding” and “partitioning,” which cast the island, its nature and geography, its religious and ethnic character, and its historical traditions and maritime culture as separate from British domains in mainland India and elsewhere. Kings had seen themselves as rightful rulers of the whole territory of the island. Now, this right was violently extended by British colonists through the application of a model of crown rule and modern bureaucracy that tied ethnicity to language and religion, employing essentialized but not fully realized patterns that would continue to trouble the modern nation. Picking up a range of unusual themes, from migration, orientalism, and ethnography to botany, medicine, and education, Islanded is a groundbreaking text in Sri Lankan history writing, shaping discussions of the imperial transition in South Asia.

The Nuclear Age
From the bestselling author of Chernobyl comes a sweeping history of the geopolitics behind the nuclear arms race, from the first atomic bomb to today
On 16 July 1945, the Nuclear Age began with the explosion of the first atomic bomb and the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer: 'Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.'
While the threat of mutually assured destruction kept a lid on a simmering and tense geopolitical landscape, events like the Chernobyl disaster and near-misses like the Cuban Missile Crisis showed that total destruction was only ever one malfunction, mistake, or miscommunication away. Now, as governments re-arm their nuclear arsenals, treaties designed to limit the acquisition and use of nuclear weapons fall away, and nuclear weapons come increasingly within reach of non-state actors, we are on the brink of a renaissance of the nuclear industry.
In The Nuclear Age, acclaimed historian Serhii Plokhy paints an intricate picture of a world governed by fear. From the first artificial splitting of the atom in 1917 and the race to create the first atomic bomb in World War II, through the fraught arms race of the Cold War, to the imperialism, neo-colonial motivation and wars being waged today, the threat posed by nuclear weapons is as pertinent as ever.
As he examines the motivations of key players, Plokhy confronts the crucial question of our age: what can we learn from the first nuclear arms race that can help us to stop the new one?
