I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki
The sequel to the Sunday Times and international-bestselling South Korean therapy memoir, translated by International Booker Prize-shortlisted Anton Hur
When Baek Sehee started recording her sessions with her psychiatrist, her hope was to create a reference for herself. She never imagined she would reach so many people, especially young people, with her reflections. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki became a runaway bestseller in South Korea, Indonesia, and the U.S., and reached a community of readers who appreciated depression and anxiety being discussed with such intimacy.
Baek's struggle with dysthymia continues in I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki. And healing is a difficult process; the inner conflict she experiences in treatment becomes more complex, more challenging. With this second book, Baek Sehee reaches out to hold the hands of all those for whom grappling with everyday despair is part of a lifelong project, part of the journey.
Eve
How did wet nurses drive civilization? Are women always the weaker sex? Is sexism useful for evolution? And are our bodies at war with our babies?
In Eve, Cat Bohannon answers questions scientists should have been addressing for decades. With boundless curiosity and sharp wit, she covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex. Eve is not only a sweeping revision of human history, it's an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Bohannon's findings, including everything from the way C-sections in the industrialized world are rearranging women's pelvic shape to the surprising similarities between pus and breast milk, will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens have become such a successful and dominant species, from tool use to city building to the development of language.

Right Kind of Wrong
Winner of Thinkers50 ‘World’s Most Influential Management Thinkers’
Shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award
We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we're often told that failure is desirable - that we must ‘fail fast, fail often’. The trouble is, neither approach distinguishes the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well.
Here, Amy Edmondson – the world’s most influential organisational psychologist – reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. Drawing on four decades of research into the world’s most effective organisations, she unveils the three archetypes of failure – basic, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad). Along the way, she poses a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

Big Caesars and Little Caesars
A WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR
Who said that dictatorship was dead? The world today is full of Strong Men and their imitators. Caesarism is alive and well. Yet in modern times it's become a strangely neglected subject. Ferdinand Mount opens up a fascinating exploration of how and why Caesars seize power and why they fall.
There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup.
In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be Caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger.
There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump. The saga of Boris Johnson and Brexit frequently crops up in this author's narrative as a vivid, if Lilliputian instance of the same phenomenon.
The final part of this book describes how and why would-be Caesars come to grief, from the Gunpowder Plot to Trump's march on the Capitol and the ejection of Boris Johnson by his own MPs, and ends with a defence of the grubby glories of parliamentary politics and a thought-provoking roadmap of the way back to constitutional government.
Where the Hearth Is: Stories of home
What is it about a place that makes us feel truly home?
Kate Humble has a knack for sharing her own journey towards a more pleasing and purposeful life in a way that inspires readers, enables them to reassess their own lives and helps them achieve their personal goals. Having encouraged readers to reconnect with nature in Thinking on My Feet and simplify their lifestyles in A Year of Living Simply, she turns now to reimagining whatever we consider 'home' - examining her own experiences and expectations, ideals and memories, and considering the views of others living uniquely, extraordinarily, happily. And she's gaining insights from some unexpected quarters - including the animal kingdom.
As our time spent in office buildings and other traditional workplaces shrinks forevermore, feeling happy, healthy, productive and content in our homes (be they castles or caravans, flat-shares or farms, fixed or temporary, inner city/out of town/beyond) is more important to get right than ever before. Where the Hearth Is will resonate with all those seeking to make the most of their lives during the many hours we all spend at home - whether it's a case of tiny adjustments while staying put, moving out, living differently or dreaming of building something new.
This is Europe
A Times, Financial Times and Telegraph Political Book of the Year
In a series of vivid, empathetic portraits of other people’s lives, journalist Ben Judah invites us to meet some of the people who call Europe their home.
Who makes up this population of some 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home? Who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries and steward our criss-crossing planes? Who lovingly crafts our legacy wines and fishes our depleted waters? And who risks life itself in search of safety and a new start?
Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom. Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize – but this is Europe.

Our Next Reality
Over the last 100 years, technology has changed our world. Over the next decade it will transform our reality.
We are entering a new technological age in which artificial intelligence and immersive media will transform society at all levels, mediating our lives by altering what we see, hear, and experience. Powered by immersive eyewear and driven by interactive AI agents, this new age of computing has the potential to make our world a magical place where the boundaries between the real and the virtual, the human and the artificial, rapidly fade away. If managed well, this could unleash a new age of abundance. If managed poorly, this technological revolution could easily go astray, deeply compromising our privacy, autonomy, agency, and even our humanity.
In Our Next Reality, two industry veterans provide a data-driven debate on whether the new world we're creating will be a technological utopia or an AI-powered dystopia and give guidance on how to aim for the best future we can. With a Foreword by renowned author Neal Stephenson and section contributions from industry thought-leaders such as Peter H. Diamandis, Tom Furness, Phillip Rosedale, Tony Parisi, Avi Bar Zeev and Walter Parkes, this book answers over a dozen of the most pressing questions we face as artificial intelligence and spatial computing accelerates the digitization of our world. Find out why our actions in the next decade could determine the trajectory of our species for countless millennia.

The Other Olympians
In December 1935, Zdenek Koubek, one of the most famous sprinters in European women's sports, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time, the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston, also assigned female at birth, announced that he, too, was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities.
A few decades later, they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their transitions, what could have been a push toward equality became instead, through a confluence of bureaucracy, war, and sheer happenstance, the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes.
In The Other Olympians, Michael Waters uncovers, for the first time, the gripping true stories of Koubek, Weston, and other pioneering trans and intersex athletes from their era. With dogged research and cinematic flair, Waters also tracks how International Olympic Committee members ignored Nazi Germany's atrocities in order to pull off the Berlin Games, a partnership that ultimately influenced the IOC's nearly century-long obsession with surveilling and cataloging gender.
Immersive and revelatory, The Other Olympians is a groundbreaking, hidden-in-the-archives marvel, an inspiring call for equality, and an essential contribution toward understanding the contemporary culture wars over gender in sports.
White Holes
A mesmerizing trip to the strange new world of white holes, from Carlo Rovelli, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
Let us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born . . .
With lightness and magic, here Carlo Rovelli traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, of the uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been. Guiding us to the edge of theory and experiment, he invites us to go beyond, to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the extraordinary life of a white hole.
Hunting the Falcon
A TLS, TIMES, PROSPECT AND WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR
A groundbreaking examination of how the marriage of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn sent shockwaves across a continent and changed England forever.
The story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn is one of the most remarkable in history: a long courtship followed by a shotgun wedding and then a coronation, ending just short of three years later when a husband's passion turned to such hatred that he simply wanted his wife gone. In Hunting the Falcon, John Guy and Julia Fox examine the most recent archival discoveries and peel back layers of historical myth to present Anne and Henry in startlingly new ways. They show how Anne and Henry's relationship was tied almost completely to the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of European history, and dispel any assumptions that a sixteenth-century woman, even a queen, could exert little influence on the politics and beliefs of a patriarchal society. Anne was in fact a shrewd and ruthless politician in her own right, a woman who steered Henry and his policies - and whom Henry seriously contemplated making joint sovereign.
Hunting the Falcon sets the facts and some completely new finds into a wide frame, unearthing the truth about these two extraordinary lives and their tumultuous times. It pays particular attention to the seven 'missing' years that Anne spent in France, and explores how she organised her side of the royal court in novel ways that ultimately sowed the seeds of her own downfall. In this feat of historical research and analysis, Guy and Fox offer a sumptuous retelling of one of the most consequential marriages in history and an exhilarating portrait of love, lust, politics and power.

Okos, de szétszórt
A gyerekünk okos, jó képességű, ezt világosan látjuk, és a környezetünk is visszaigazolja. De akkor hogyan lehetséges, hogy annyit küszködik a mindennapi élet feladataival? Miért felejt el és veszít el rendszeresen dolgokat? Miért nem képes tíz másodpercnél tovább nyugton ülni? Miért nem tud rendet tartani a szobájában és a holmijai között? Miért kezeli olyan rosszul a váratlan helyzeteket? Miért borul ki annyira, vagy válik agresszívvé, ha valami nem úgy történik, ahogy szeretné? Miért képtelen valamit türelmesen kivárni, vagy egy folyamatot következetesen végig vinni? Miért nem tudja tartani magát a tervekhez és a szabályokhoz?
Az esetek elsöprő többségében nem azért, mert fütyül a kéréseinkre, és direkt bosszantani akar minket. Hanem azért, mert az általunk kívánt dolgok megvalósításához szükséges készségei még nem elég fejlettek. (Ezért nem segít ilyenkor a kérlelés, az alkudozás, a fenyegetés és a büntetés sem - hiszen, ha valamire még nem képes, akkor mindegy, milyen nyomást gyakorlunk rá, nem tudja megcsinálni.) A legtöbb szétszórt, de okos gyerek nélkülöz bizonyos gondolkodási szokásokat, amelyeket végrehajtó funkcióknak nevezünk, vagy lemaradásban van azok fejlődése terén. Ezek azok az alapvető kognitív készségek, amelyek a feladatok végrehajtásához (és az iskolai, otthoni és kortárscsoport elvárta követelményekkel való megbirkózáshoz) szükségesek: szervezés, tervezés, feladatkezdés és feladatnál maradás, impulzuskontroll, érzelemszabályozás, alkalmazkodóképesség és reziliencia.
Szerencsére van mit tenni. Ez a könyv bemutatja, hogyan segíthetünk gyermekünk végrehajtó funkcióinak fejlesztésében, hogy jobban boldoguljon azokkal a helyzetekkel és feladatokkal, amelyekkel küszködik. Így sok nehézségtől és szenvedéstől kímélhetjük meg őt az elkövetkező években. Ha már óvodás vagy általános iskolás korban elkezdünk dolgozni a problémákon, mire középiskolába kerül, jobb önuralommal, döntéshozatali és problémamegoldó készséggel lesz felvértezve, mint amiről most álmodni mernénk.
Rövid tesztek segítségével alkothatunk képet gyermekünk erősségeiről és gyengeségeiről, ami segít a beavatkozások lehetséges célpontjainak azonosításában. Ezután különböző testre szabható megközelítési módok közül választhatunk, és mindig rendelkezésre áll egy B terv is, amennyiben az A terv nem teljesen sikeres. A könyvben szereplő módszerek némi időt és következetességet igényelnek, de több tízezer szülő visszajelzései alapján kiválóan működnek, egyiket sem nehéz elsajátítani, sőt néhányat még szórakoztatónak is találhatunk.
A szerzők neuropszichológusok, a tanulási és figyelemzavarok nemzetközi elismertségű kutatói és szakértői.

Může filosofie zaniknout?
Na konci letního semestru 1972 byl Jan Patočka donucen ukončit svou přednáškovou činnost na FFUK. Na podzim téhož roku vyhověl prosbě svých bývalých posluchačů a v souvislosti s diskusí, která mezi nimi probíhala nad tehdy aktuálním textem M. Heideggera Konec filosofie a úkol myšlení, přednesl v soukromí přednášku, v níž téma zániku filosofie pojednal z jiné, doplňující perspektivy. Svou přednášku zopakoval v nové podobě začátkem roku 1973 a na základě jejího magnetofonového záznamu připravil její definitivní podobu. K publikování přednášky nemohlo samozřejmě za autorova života dojít a uskutečnilo se až v samizdatovém Archivním souboru prací Jana Patočky. Odtud byla přednáška přetištěna v roce 1987 v exilovém časopise Proměny v New Yorku. Zatímco Heideggerovi šlo o to naznačit, proč se jeho myšlení snaží tradici evropské filosofie, z níž vychází, radikálním způsobem překonat, prochází Patočka velkým obloukem dějinami této tradice a podává výklad o tom, jak se v rámci jí samé toto překonávání připravovalo. Samostatným vydáním této přednášky doplňujeme publikování českého překladu Heideggerova svazku Věc myšlení, v němž je jeho přednáška o konci filosofie obsažena.
Epidemiológia a alergie z potravín
Už stredovekí učenci sa domnievali, že pôvodcami nákazlivých ochorení sú živé bytosti „contagium vivum“. Hoci epidemiologické myslenie a empirický epidemiologický prístup k obmedzovaniu šírenia chorôb majú svoju dlhú históriu, epidemiológia ako samostatný vedný odbor je pomerne mladá. V posledných desaťročiach prekonáva značný rozvoj a dnes jej patrí medzi jedno z popredných miest verejného zdravotníctva a preventívnej medicíny.
Epidemiológia ako veda sa zaoberá teoretickými i praktickými otázkami ochrany obyvateľstva predovšetkým pred infekčnými chorobami. Patrí do kategórie preventívnej medicíny zameranej na štúdium problémov a na prevenciu neinfekčných ochorení.
Alergia je chorobou z civilizácie. Svet alergie sa vďaka zmenám životného prostredia a štýlu života rapídne mení. Za posledných 30 rokov počet alergických pacientov vzrástol. Tento stav má aj naďalej stúpajúcu tendenciu. Zároveň pribúdajú nové typy alergií, ktoré boli pred desaťročiami úplne neznáme. Expozícia rozmanitejším alergénom - látkam vyvolávajúcim alergie počas dlhších období má za následok tzv. polysenzibilizáciu - zvýšenú citlivosť na viaceré druhy látok alebo alergénov a ktorá môže, minimálne čiastočne, predstavovať základ pre trvalú a ťažkú povahu príznakov alergie.
Príčinou alergických ochorení môžu byť potraviny samotné, potraviny pripravené genetickou manipuláciou, aditíva, konzervačné látky, korenie, skrížené reakcie medzi potravinovými alergénmi napr. peľmi, ale aj zmeny, ktoré môžu nastať pri výrobe, spracúvaní, skladovaní a manipulácii s potravinami.
Dôležitá je správna distribúcia vhodných potravín – bezalergénnych a zvýšenie povedomia obyvateľstva – informovanosť o vplyve výživy na zdravie, zameriavať sa na prevenciu. Zmeniť postoj obyvateľstva k vlastnému zdraviu, vážiť si ho a v nadväznosti na to ovplyvniť aj výber potravín.
Rozšírte svoje vedomosti z nových oblastí ako ekonómia, manažment a marketing. Zaujímate sa o vesmír a jeho fungovanie, správanie živočíchov či históriu času? Správny smer do života a pozitívnu psychológiu prinesie motivačná literatúra. Knihy odborné - z oblasti práva, pedagogiky, sociológie či medicíny - ukrýva práve táto sekcia.
Kategória Odborná a populárno-náučná literatúra zahŕňa knihy a texty, ktoré poskytujú informácie a odborné znalosti v rôznych odboroch. Táto kategória sa líši od beletristickej literatúry a zameriava sa na vedomostný prínos.
Odborná literatúra obsahuje podrobné informácie, teórie a výskum v rôznych oblastiach ako veda, medicína, technológia, právo, ekonomika a psychológia. Populárno-náučná literatúra je prístupnejšia verejnosti a zaujímavo prezentuje tématické úseky, históriu, biografie a vedecké objavy.
Odborná a populárno-náučná literatúra je dôležitá pre vzdelávanie, osobnostný rozvoj a celoživotné učenie. Pomáha nám porozumieť svetu, objavovať nové perspektívy a zlepšiť naše schopnosti. Tieto diela od renomovaných autorov sú zdrojom inšpirácie a prínosov pre naše profesionálne a osobné životy.
K najznámejším autorom odbornej literatúry patria Stephen Hawking, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Kahneman či zo slovenských autorov Roman Králik, či Vojtech Zamarovský.
