Není to tebou


Doktorka Ramani Durvasula, psycholožka a přední odbornice na narcismus, přináší převratnou příručku, která vám pomůže chránit se a zahojit si rány způsobené narcismem, který nevidíte. Není vždy snadné poznat, kdy máte co do činění s narcistou. Jeden den vás upoutá svou sebejistotou a charismatem, druhý den vás gaslightuje, zničí vaše sebevědomí a vy jen přemýšlíte, co jste mohli udělat jinak? Jak odhaluje Dr. Durvasula v knize Není to tebou, odpovědí na tuto otázku je: absolutně nic. Stejně jako tygr nemůže změnit své pruhy, narcista s vámi nepřestane manipulovat a znejisťovat vás. Abyste se po jeho zneužívání uzdravili a ochránili se před budoucím ublížením, musíte nejprve přijmout, že za to nemůžete. Hluboce soucitná a objevná kniha Není to tebou zkoumá, jak narcisté kradou naši pohodu, a nabízí cestu k uzdravení. Dr. Durvasula čerpá z více než dvaceti let studia, výuky a pomáhání klientům orientovat se v krajině narcismu, odhaluje tuto často nepochopenou osobnostní poruchu a ukazuje, jak rozpoznat varovné signály, že máte možná co do činění s narcistou, i jak se chránit před jeho toxickým vlivem. Postupně se dozvíte, jak se stát odolnými vůči gaslightingu, jak odbourat traumatické vazby, které vás drží v těchto cyklech, jak truchlit nad ztrátami, jak si vytvořit realistické hranice, jak se naučit jemnému umění rozlišování a jak obnovit svůj pocit sebe sama po letech znevěrohodňování. Uzdravení a prosperita po narcistickém vztahu, nebo dokonce během něj mohou být náročné, ale je to možné. Kniha Není to tebou ukazuje, že prvním krokem je přestat se snažit změnit narcistickou osobu, přestat se obviňovat a začít si dávat svolení k podpoře své autonomie a pocitu sebe sama mimo tento vztah.

Náboje do ručních palných zbraní


Nikoho nepřekvapí, že náboje pro ruční palné zbraně jsou trvalým předmětem zájmu vojáků, policistů, příslušníků strážních a speciálních služeb, lovců, sportovních střelců a občanů nosících zbraň pro svou obranu, nemluvě o sběratelích nábojů a příznivcích vojenské historie vůbec. Každá z těchto skupin však má na střelivo z pochopitelných důvodů jiný úhel pohledu. Informace o jednotlivých nábojích se proto snažíme podat jako určitý kompromis různých hledisek. Přesto, že historie jednotných nábojů do ručních palných zbraní je obdobím poměrně krátkým, je v současné době již téměř nezjistitelné, kolik ráží nábojů se za tento nepříliš dlouhý čas vyrábělo. Podat opravdu spolehlivé informace o všech rážích, které opustily brány továren za uplynulých přibližně 150 let, je dnes totiž mimořádně obtížné, ne-li zcela nemožné. Zaměřili jsme se proto jak na náboje se středovým zápalem, které jsou mezinárodně normalizované, tak na některé náboje dnes sice již zastaralé, které byly ovšem ve své době významné nebo něčím zajímavé.

Egyptian Mythology


Immerse yourself in the dark and complex mythology of Ancient Egypt. Alongside the mummies and the great treasure-filled burial chambers of the Pyramids are the many gods, heroes, monsters and legends that defined their universe. Atum, the first being -- who then begat Nut, the sky goddess and Geb, the god of the land -- and their union in turn producing Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys. Explore Ancient Egypt''s creation myths, including the Book of the Dead, and the evolution of pictograms and hieroglyphs, which documented many aspects of Egyptian life. Read how, across the long duration of the Ancient Egyptian age, animals such as cats, falcons, baboons and scarab beetles became sacred, and how species like the jackal, lion and the Nile crocodile became intertwined with the gods. Death and the afterlife occupied a central place in the Ancient Egyptian belief system, and this well-illustrated book explores the extraordinary lengths and care given to funerary practices, including the Weighing of the Heart and the elaborate rituals to ensure the successful passage of the deceased pharaohs into the afterlife -- to live in Paradise with Osiris. Fully illustrated with photographs of shrines and statuary, this book is the definitive guide to the dark, complex and extraordinary mythology of Ancient Egypt.

Securing Peace in Europe


After the Cold War, the United States and its NATO allies faced crucial questions. Could Russia, their old adversary, be integrated into the liberal international order? What roles should former Soviet republics and satellite states in Eastern and Central Europe play in the Euro-Atlantic security system? These questions have taken on renewed significance since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin has portrayed Russia as the victim of Western expansionism. This deeply researched book offers new perspective on the NATO-Russia relationship through the eyes of Strobe Talbott, a deputy secretary of state for seven years under President Bill Clinton and the key US diplomatic broker for the former USSR. Stephan Kieninger traces the Clinton administration’s efforts to engage Russia and enlarge NATO at the same time, as elements of a new European security architecture. Drawing on Talbott’s diaries, as well as US and European archives and extensive interviews with former government officials, he sheds light on NATO’s opening, its missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, and other vexed issues. Kieninger argues that a careful look at Talbott’s statecraft rebuts Putin’s claims that the West exploited Russia’s weakness after the Cold War, demonstrating that the Clinton administration and its NATO allies sought to include Russia at every step. An illuminating and comprehensive account of US diplomacy during the Clinton years, Securing Peace in Europe provides vital insight into the complex relations between Russia and the West.

General Lucian K. Truscott


Explores the life and military career of Lucian Truscott, one of the greatest, yet least celebrated, US combat commanders of World War II. Born in Texas to a drug-addicted father, Truscott would become one of the United States’ greatest ever combat generals. Expert in mechanised warfare and amphibious operations during World War II, he was a plain-speaking, determined fighter. The book traces Truscott’s rise as a senior American commander in various theaters of war, including the campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and southern France. It examines Truscott’s relationship with other senior American commanders such as George Patton (who once threatened to sack him), Mark Clark (who didn’t like him), Eisenhower and George Marshall. Truscott made a significant contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany, improving his command skills with each new experience. Being placed in command of the Anzio beachhead was his finest hour, where his vital contribution ultimately led to the capture of Rome. Truscott garnered a unique record during World War II as the only American officer to command military formations from regiment up to a full army, with over 200,000 soldiers under his command. He also took part in five amphibious landings during the war, becoming the United States’ foremost expert in such operations. General Lucian K. Truscott: ‘Quite a talent for fighting’ is for military enthusiasts looking to expand their knowledge beyond the well-known names of World War II canon.

Killing the Dead


Killing the Dead provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the world's most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteria-the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, John Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of society's inexplicable terrors and anxieties. In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout history-in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in societies that upend all sense of security, and how the European vampire is just one species in a larger family of predatory supernatural entities that includes the female flying demons of Southeast Asia and the lustful yoginis of India. Richly illustrated, Killing the Dead provocatively argues that corpse-killing, far from being pathological or unhealthy, served as a therapeutic and largely harmless outlet for fear, hatred, and paranoia that would otherwise result in violence against marginalized groups and individuals.

Dance of the Fire


A critical first-hand appraisal of the activities, achievements, and importance of the Jewish Brigade by IDF Major-General Shlomo Shamir (Rabinowicz), its Covert Internal Commander on behalf of the Haganah and the Jewish national institutions in Palestine. Some myths surrounding the Brigade’s activities are also dealt with in this appraisal. The Jewish Brigade, a unit of the British Army during WW2, played a crucial role on behalf of world Jewry in the fight against Nazi Germany. Comprised mainly of Jewish volunteers from Palestine, the Brigade was formed in 1944 after four years of struggle for deployment as a fighting force. The Brigade participated in the Italian campaign, distinguishing itself in the battles along the Senio River and proving that Jewish soldiers could fight as a unified force against a well-trained enemy and prevail. Beyond combat and under Shamir’s guidance, the Brigade was the first to search for, meet, and care for survivors of the Holocaust. Despite British disapproval, its members worked at numerous Displaced Persons camps in Germany, particularly at Bergen-Belsen, and facilitated the illegal journeys of many survivors to Palestine. The story of the Brigade therefore, exemplified a dedicated pursuit of both military goals and Jewish national aspirations. With many Brigade members subsequently becoming leading figures in the fledgling Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the book shines a light on how the experience of these Jewish volunteers in the British Army was irreplaceable in shaping both the military and political landscape of the nascent State of Israel.
