Oslobodený Jeruzalem/ La Gerusalemme liberata


Oslobodený Jeruzalem dopísal Torquato Tasso v roku 1575 – dvanásť rokov po ukončení Tridentského koncilu. Komponoval ho napoly ako historický epos, teda to, čo malo dať predstavu, aký bol v čase prvej krížovej výpravy (na konci jedenásteho storočia) smer dejín a život vtedajších ľudí, a napoly ako román vo veršoch. V Oslobodenom Jeruzaleme vidno popri historickom a ľúbostnom rozmere spredmetnenie túžby človeka za najvyšším poznaním, ktoré je z biblicko-historického hľadiska ťažko potlačiteľným ľudským snom. Slovenskí čitatelia dostávajú možnosť vžiť sa čítaním vrcholného diela svetovej barokovej literatúry do cítenia a zmýšľania v dobe, keď Torquato Tasso tento epos tvoril.

Fancy Bear Goes Phishing


Fancy Bear was hungry. Looking for embarrassing information about Hillary Clinton, the elite hacking unit within Russian military intelligence broke into the Democratic National Committee network, grabbed what it could, and may have contributed to the election of Donald Trump. Robert Morris was curious. Experimenting one night, the graduate student from Cornell University released "the Great Worm" and became the first person to crash the internet. Dark Avenger was in love. To impress his crush, the Bulgarian hacker invented the first mutating computer virus-engine and nearly destroyed the anti-virus industry. Why is the internet so insecure? How do hackers exploit its vulnerabilities? Fancy Bear Goes Phishing tells the stories of five great hacks, their origins, motivations and consequences. As well as Fancy Bear, Robert Morris and Dark Avenger, we meet Cameron Lacroix, a sixteen-year-old from South Boston, who hacked Paris Hilton's cell phone because he wanted to be famous and Paras Jha, a Rutgers undergraduate, who built a giant botnet designed to get him out of his calculus exam and disrupt the online game Minecraft, but which almost destroyed the internet in the process. Scott Shapiro's five stories demonstrate that computer hacking is not just a tale of technology, but of human beings. Yet as Shapiro shows, hackers do not just abuse computer code - they exploit the philosophical principles of computation: the very features that make computers possible also make hacking possible. He explains how our information society works, the ways our data is stored and manipulated, and why it is so subject to exploitation. Both intellectual romp and dramatic true-crime narrative, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing exposes the secrets of the digital age.

Quantum Supremacy


The runaway success of the microchip processor may be nearing its end, with profound implications for our economy, society and way of life, even leaving Silicon Valley as a new Rust Belt, its technology obsolete. Step forward the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, and may be useful in solving humanity's greatest challenges from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. Humanity's next great technological achievement already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were. Its unprecedented gains in computing power and unique ability to simulate the physical universe herald advances that could change every aspect of our lives. Corporations and whole nations are betting on quantum computing, hoping to exploit its power to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs and streamline industries to revolutionize the economy. But this is only the beginning. Quantum computers could allow us to finally create nuclear fusion reactors that produce clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of meltdown. They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world's growing populations. And they could unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases such as Alzheimer's, motor neurone disease and Parkinson's, helping us to live longer, healthier lives. Told with Kaku's signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity's future.

The Art of Crying


Explore the healing, transformative power of shedding tears in this evocatively illustrated study of crying, one of the most uniquely human things we do. What if crying wasn't just an involuntary reaction to feeling sad, vulnerable, or overwhelmed - but a hidden wellspring of power we could harness to live a fuller life? In The Art of Crying, Pepita Sandwich makes the case that crying is humanity's most misunderstood and magical special effect. We are the only animals who shed tears as a result of the emotions we feel. But crying is not our weakness: it's our superpower. Our tears are a path to growth and healing that leads to deeper and more fulfilling experiences. In this beautifully illustrated book, Sandwich dives deep into an ocean of research into tears to understand the science and history of this uniquely human phenomenon. And she has emerged with a case for "letting it all out" a little more often, because tears have a powerful magic all their own.

Going Mainstream


Incels. Anti Vaxxers. Conspiracy theorists. Neo-Nazis. Once, these groups all belonged on the fringes of the political spectrum. Today, accelerated by a pandemic, global conflict and rapid technological change, their ideas are becoming more widespread: QAnon proponents run for U.S. Congress, neo-fascists win elections in Europe, and celebrity influencers spread dangerous myths to millions. Going Mainstream asks the question: What is happening here? Going undercover online and in person, UK counter-extremism expert Julia Ebner reveals how, united by a shared sense of grievance and scepticism about institutions, radicalised individuals are influencing the mainstream as never before. Hidden from public scrutiny, they leverage social media to create alternative information ecosystems and build sophisticated networks funded by dark money. Ebner's candid conversations with extremists offer a nuanced and gripping insight into why people have turned to the fringes. She explores why outlandish ideas have taken hold and disinformation is spreading faster than ever. And she speaks to the activists and educators who are fighting to turn the tide. Going Mainstream is a dispatch from the darkest front of the culture wars, and a vital wake-up call.

Kazuistiky z neonatologie II


Již od roku 1990 je neonatologie uznávaným specializovaným oborem dětského lékařství se zaměřením na péči o fyziologické a patologické novorozence. Díky zlepšujícímu se poznání patofyziologických procesů, technickému pokroku, zlepšení kvality intenzivní péče, léčebných a ošetřovatelských postupů došlo k výraznému zlepšení neonatální mortality a morbidity v naší republice. Tyto ukazatele se již řadu let drží na světové úrovni a můžeme být na ně adekvátně pyšní. Bohužel, ne každé dítě se narodí zdravé či v termínu porodu. Spektrum novorozeneckých onemocnění je velmi široké, zahrnuje běžné i velmi vzácné choroby, onemocnění související s nezralostí, vrozené vývojové vady, infekce, hypoxická postižení i různé typy dědičných metabolických poruch. Pro zvýšení osvěty v tomto oboru pořádá primářka Milena Dokoupilová od roku 2016 každoročně odborné konference „Dny novorozeneckých kazuistik“, které se zabývají širokou problematikou novorozenců od 30. týdne těhotenství. Tato akce, která se tradičně koná v krásném a příjemném prostředí zámku Zbiroh, má vysokou úroveň a je odbornou veřejností velmi kladně hodnocena. V roce 2020 jsme vybrali z proběhlých konferencí zajímavé kazuistiky a vydali první díl publikace Kazuistiky z neonatologie. Jelikož kniha měla velký ohlas a zajímavých kazuistik zahrnujících diagnózy, se kterými se setkáváme běžně, ale také velmi vzácně, je prezentováno dostatek i nadále, rozhodli jsem se vydat druhý díl této publikace. V nové knize budou opět prezentovány kazuistiky týkající se jak lehce a středně nezralých, tak i donošených novorozenců. Jednotlivé kazuistiky doplňuje teoretická část s diferenciálnědiagnostickou rozvahou, dále obsahují obrazovou dokumentaci, schémata, tabulky i krátkou diskusi a v závěru jsou samozřejmě uvedeny literární odkazy. Věříme, že i druhý díl oblíbených Kazuistik z neonatologie bude dobrým pomocníkem v postgraduálním vzdělávání mladých lékařů a v praxi pomůže k včasné diagnóze i léčbě.

Viking nők


Férfiakról és nőkről írok: honfoglalókról, földművesekről, mítoszteremtőkről, anyákról, tanítókról, világutazókról. Olyan emberekről, akik titkos reményeket táplálnak, akiknek szerető családjuk és törékeny szívük van. A lelkem mélyén mégis aggodalommal tölt el a tudat, hogy kultúrájuknak sötét aspektusai is léteznek: az erőszak, amely végigvonul az életükön (a csatatéren, de azon kívül is), a traumák, amelyeket más embereknek (ellenségeiknek, szomszédaiknak, rabszolgáiknak) okoznak, valamint az emberáldozatok. A brutalitás nem korlátozódik a férfiak világára, sok nő is kegyetlen, gyakran egyenesen ijesztően félelmetes, jóllehet ezzel egyidejűleg a viking világ nagyszerű vívmányairól és csodáiról csak áradozni tudok... Azok a történetmesélők, mint amilyen én is vagyok, mindig ezekből az ellentmondásokból és rejtélyekből táplálkoznak.

Hands of Time


In Hands of Time watchmaker and historian Rebecca Struthers welcomes us into the hidden world of watchmaking, and to a history of time that spans centuries and continents. The invention of timepieces was more significant for human culture than the printing press, or even the wheel. They have travelled the world with us, from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest, and even to the Moon. They regulate our daily lives and have sculpted the social and economic development of society in surprising and dramatic ways. From her workshop bench, Rebecca explores the ways in which timekeeping has indelibly shaped our attitudes to work, leisure, trade, politics, exploration and mortality, and introduces us to some extraordinary devices, each with their own story to tell. Hands of Time is an intricate exploration of the history, science, philosophy, and craft of timekeeping.

The War Below


The world is moving towards replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. But building electric vehicles, solar panels, and millions of other devices requires digging more mines. Critical minerals are vital to many sustainable technologies, and the competition for them is intensifying. Nations which aspire to energy independence are ever more intertwined: a hedge fund manager's attempt to revive rare earths mining in California needs Chinese expertise, and international reliance on Africa's mining sector persists despite concern over child labour. Meanwhile, ecological dilemmas abound: a proposed lithium mine in Nevada would help global car manufacturers slash their dependence on fossil fuels, but developing that mine could cause the extinction of a flower found nowhere else on the planet. As investors attempt to predict how the geopolitics of resource extraction will unfold, this is a story of the industry giants, researchers, and policymakers at the forefront of the new energy wars.

Prophet of Reason


In 1813, high in the Lebanese mountains, a thirteen-year-old boy watches a solar eclipse. Will it foretell a war, a plague, the death of a prince? Mikha’il Mishaqa’s lifelong search for truth starts here. Soon he’s reading Newtonian science and the radical ideas of Voltaire and Volney: he loses his religion, turning away from the Catholic Church. Thirty years later, as civil war rages in Syria, he finds a new faith – Evangelical Protestantism. His obstinate polemics scandalise his community. Then, in 1860, Mishaqa barely escapes death in the most notorious event in Damascus: a massacre of several thousand Christians. We are presented with a paradox: rational secularism and violent religious sectarianism grew up together. By tracing Mishaqa’s life through this tumultuous era, when empires jostled for control, Peter Hill answers the question: What did people in the Middle East actually believe? It’s a world where one man could be a Jew, an Orthodox Christian and a Sunni Muslim in turn, and a German missionary might walk naked in the streets of Valletta.

Free yourself from pain, understand your trauma and find inner peace in this life-changing guide, from the author of The Imposter Cure So many of us experience trauma throughout our lives.

Using a combination of psychology, neuroscience and her own experiences as a chartered psychologist treating people with trauma, Dr Hibberd unpacks a tough subject and opens up the space for self-healing.

Numbermania


How many steps have you done today? How many emails answered? How much money have you spent this week And how many hours have you slept? Welcome to the numberdemic, where a deluge of figures, stats and data manipulate your every move. From the way you work, date and exercise to the products you buy and the news you read, numbers have worked their way into every part of our lives. But is life better this way? How are all of those numbers affecting us? With fascinating, sometimes frightening and sometimes shrewdly funny research, behavioural economists Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjornsen explain why we're so attached to numbers and how we can free ourselves from their tyranny. Along the way, you'll learn why viral videos, however inaccurate, become more convincing with every view; how numbers can affect the way we physically age, if we let them; why the more films you rate the less impressive you'll find them and how numbers that 'anchor' themselves in your brain can affect the size of your mortgage - plus much more. Sharp, insightful and totally engaging, NUMBERMANIA is your vaccination against a world obsessed with numbers.
