Náhrada nemajetkové újmy na zdraví a při usmrcení, 2.vydání
Po nabytí účinnosti občanského zákoníku došlo k zásadní proměně pojetí náhrady nemajetkové újmy na zdraví a při usmrcení. Druhé vydání této publikace navazuje na pět let vývoje v právní praxi a judikatuře a přináší aktuální analýzu, která zohledňuje nové přístupy Nejvyššího i Ústavního soudu.
Zvláštní pozornost je věnována dalším formám nemajetkové újmy, roli znalců, výkladu pojmu „zvlášť závažné ublížení na zdraví“ a charakteru metodiky používané při stanovení výše náhrady.
Publikace je určena nejen právníkům a soudcům, ale i odborné veřejnosti. Kritická analýza opřená o aktuální judikaturu přispívá k lepší orientaci v této dynamicky se rozvíjející oblasti práva.
Ocean - A History of the Atlantic Before Columbus
Ocean is an ambitious history of the pre-Columbian Atlantic Ocean, a story that begins with the formation of the mid-Atlantic ridge some 200 million years ago and ends with the Castilian conquest of the Canary Islands in the fifteenth century, which provided a template for the methods used by the Spanish in their colonisation of the New World.
John Haywood argues that the perception that Atlantic history begins with the first voyage of the celebrated Genoese navigator is a mistaken one, and that the seafaring and shipbuilding skills that enabled European global exploration and expansion did not arrive fully formed in the fifteenth century, but were learned over centuries and millennia in the Atlantic and its marginal seas. The pre-Columbian history of the Atlantic is the story of how Europeans learned to master the oceans. It is, therefore, key to understanding why it was Europeans, and not any of the world's other seafaring peoples, who 'discovered' the world.
Ocean is informed by the author's extensive travels in and around the Atlantic Ocean, crossing Newfoundland's Grand Banks, the Sea of Darkness and the weed-covered Sargasso Sea to make landfall at locations as diverse as Vinland, Greenland, the Faroes and the Cape Verde Islands. Populated by a heterogeneous and multi-ethnic cast of seafarers, fishermen, monks, merchants and dreamers, this is an in-depth history of a neglected subject, fusing geology, geography, mythology, cosmology, developing maritime technologies and the early history of exploration to narrate an enthralling and intriguing story that lies at the very heart of Europe's modern history and its relationship with the rest of the world. A history on a grand scale, Ocean offers the reader a feast of historical storytelling that will appeal to readers of David Abulafia, Simon Winchester and Michael Pye.
Cat Tales
The first book to explore from an archaeological perspective the incredible and improbable history of our relationship with cats, from fearsome foe to purring pet.
Feared, revered and respected, cats have left an indelible pawprint on the histories and civilizations of humankind. In Britain a third of all households have a cat, as of 2021, some 45 million American households owned one or more cats, making them one of the most popular pets in the world. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of your furry friend were predators, not pets.
Here, for the first time, the path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate is set out through an archaeological lens by Professor of Anthropology Jerry Moore. Starting with the terrifying prehistorical scimitar-toothed cat of the Pliocene and the lion drawings of the Palaeolithic Chauvet caves, Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries.
However, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn. Combining incredible archaeological finds with contemporary media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple but profound question: who domesticated whom?
Think Like a Stoic
In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic.
With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life's pleasures.
But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of AI. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.
The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems
A renowned leadership consultant offers "a powerful and timely resource for leaders at every level" (Marshal Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There), drawing on decades of her in-the-field research and consulting
As an executive coach, Dr. Katie Best has helped countless leaders achieve powerful results. But getting the right coaching isn't always possible, whether because the problem is too urgent or because the resources aren't there. That's when leaders can turn to this book.
The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems and How to Solve Them is an essential self-coaching handbook for leaders at any level. Best helps leaders struggling to avoid burnout, make good decisions, increase influence within their organization, align with or shift a company's culture, improve employee performance, engage staff, manage teams, implement strategy, lead change, and navigate the hybrid workplace. Her SOLVE framework breaks problem-solving into five manageable steps: state the problem, to untangle complex, interrelated issues; open the box, to gather information;lay out the solution, to make a plan to fix the problem;venture forth, to put that plan into action; and elevate your learning, to further develop relevant skills.
The product of two decades of coaching and executive education work, this practical book equips leaders with the tools they need to solve these ten common problems and any other tough challenges they may face.
Empowering People through Encounter
A useful and enriching resource for empowering organizers rooted in Catholic Social Thought to engage the church on all levels and mobilize Catholics and other people of faith to enact social change. Empowering People through Encounter presents the Catholic Social Tradition as an embodied, practical, and inspiring way to connect faith and action. It highlights the dispositions, skills, and methods of faith-based community organizing through a combination of interviews with Catholic organizers in the field and case studies of campaigns from a variety of national contexts. Focusing on the relational praxis of organizing provides an opportunity for readers to encounter Catholic Social Thought as an integrated vision that gets lived on the ground by those closest to the pain of injustices rather than a set of abstract principles invoked by those at a distance. Students and practitioners of Catholic Social Thought in a variety of contexts—from the classroom and the pulpit to the one-to-one meeting and the public action—will appreciate the introduction to the concrete skills of community organizing to encounter the Catholic Social Tradition with particular emphasis on the social teachings and synodal vision of Pope Francis. For those who use this resource, within the context of a university classroom or parish, Empowering People through Encounter will nourish faith formation and vocation development by presenting community organizing as an expression of Catholic Social Thought and a way people of faith have been architects of Catholicism.
Hogyan olvassuk a fákat?
"A természet Sherlock Holmesa."
"A természetben is vannak nonkonformisták. Mi lenne - gondolják egyes növények -, ha ahelyett, hogy megpróbálnék nyerni abban a versenyben, amiben mindenki más is indul, inkább változtatnék a játékon? Mi lenne, ha nem próbálnék a lehető legmagasabbra nőni, hanem igyekeznék a legtöbbet kihozni a rendelkezésemre álló kevéske fényből?"
A fák sokat elárulnak magukról, "beszélnek" hozzánk. A tájról, ahol élnek, a vízről, a szélről, az emberekről, az állatokról, az időjárásról és az idő múlásáról. Egész életüket elbeszélik, a jót és a rosszat, ami velük történt. Mindez a szemünk előtt zajlik, csak észre kell vennünk.
Mintha együtt kirándulnánk: Tristan Gooley természeti navigátor elmondja, mire figyeljünk, hova nézzünk, a jelekből és a nyomokból mire következtessünk. Mert jelek és nyomok vannak mindenütt: a rügyekben, az ágak formájában, a kéreg színében, a virágokban, még a farönkben is. Nincs két tökéletesen egyforma fa. Minden különbség, sajátos jegy lényeges.
Ha megtanulunk látni, szemünk rányílik a természet rejtett csodáira.
Briggss Dictionary of Fairies
A new edition of Katharine Briggs's short A-Z of Folklore, with beautiful, bespoke illustrations by Fee Greening.
Katharine Mary Briggs (1898-1980) was a British folklorist, scholar and author, recognised today as the most important archivist of British folktales. Over the course of her life, she published fourteen books, lectured widely and was president of The Folklore Society. Her books were read and used by contemporaries including J.R.R. Tolkien. To reflect the monumental work Briggs did to collect, catalogue and publish folk stories from Britain and Ireland before the turn of the 21st century, The Folklore Society present an annual award in her honour.
This new edition of one of Briggs' seminal works is a dictionary of folklore creatures and tales, illustrated in rich detail with beautiful black and white line drawings by artist Fee Greening. From brownies to Shetland selkies, Cornish spriggans to Nuckelavee (the most horrid of monsters in all of Britain) Briggs's Dictionary of Fairies is a treasury of stories, songs and creatures passed down from one generation to the next.

Nebuďte people-pleaser
Osvoboďte se od nutkání dávat přednost pocitům ostatních lidí před těmi vašimi
Už jste někdy šli na návštěvu jen proto, že jste neuměli říct ne? Souhlasili se třetím rande, přestože jste už na prvním věděli, že to nebude ono? Dokončili úkol mimo vaše pracovní povinnosti za kolegu, protože jste mu nechtěli přidávat starosti? Přizpůsobovali svou osobnost ve vztazích partnerům nebo zůstávali ve vztazích, které už hodně dlouho nefungovaly?
To je pár z mnoha příkladů people-pleasingu, tedy upřednostňování potřeb, přání a pocitů druhých na úkor vašich vlastních. Je to naučený vzorec chování ve vztahu k ostatním lidem, který ale ve skutečnosti pramení z vašeho vztahu k sobě samým.

Duše světa
V Duši světa obhajuje Roger Scruton metafyzickou zkušenost v ateistickém světě. Tvrdí, že naše osobní vztahy, morální intuice a estetické soudy mají transcendentní rozměr, který nelze pochopit pouze optikou vědy. Plné uvědomování si subjektivního bytí – a jeho pochopení – v důsledku znamená uznání reality posvátna. Nejedná se však o důkazový materiál Boží existence, ale jde o nezbytnost transcendentna pro lidský život. Scruton na základě umění, architektury či hudby naznačuje, že nejvyšší formy lidské zkušenosti a uměleckého projevu vyprávějí příběh o našich metafyzických potřebách. Evoluce nedokáže vysvětlit naše pojetí posvátna; neurověda je irelevantní pro naše mezilidské vztahy a vědecké poznání obecně neumí nic říci o zkušenosti krásy. Hledání posvátného zkrátka propůjčuje světu duši, pohled na realitu z Boží perspektivy. Svět bez posvátna by byl nakonec úplně jiný svět – takový, v němž my lidé bychom byli pouzí osamocení cizinci.

The Secret Sacred
The Secret Sacred explores the hidden religious practices of the classical world. These cults, shrouded in secrecy, promised initiates a transformative afterlife. While many rituals remain mysterious, artworks and historical texts provide glimpses of their underlying beliefs. The book examines Greco-Roman religious traditions and their divergence into mystery cults, including Bacchic ceremonies depicted in frescoes, Orphic gold tablets guiding souls in the underworld and the Eleusinian Mysteries celebrating Demeter and Persephone’s cycle of rebirth. Eastern deities like Mithras, Isis and Cybele also feature in the cults discussed. The possible influence of mystery religions on early Christianity is also explored, drawing parallels with modern-day beliefs. Featuring the most recent archaeological discoveries and stunning museum artefacts, this is a lively account of the concealed faiths of the ancient world.
The Dispossessed
Recent decades have witnessed protests that are unlike many of the social movements of previous centuries. They are not led by any party, union or leader, but by ordinary people. Their deep roots are existential rather than material. These protests are not driven by class consciousness or ideology but by the sense that people have been abandoned, stripped of their rights and shunted out to the peripheries of social and economic life. This is the movement of the dispossessed – of a mass of ordinary people who have gained a will of their own and are no longer content to comply with the directives of elites who want to tell them how to live and behave. The high-profile political events of recent years – Brexit, the election of Trump, the rise of right-wing parties – are merely surface tremors of a much deeper tectonic shift caused by the slow displacement of a forgotten continent. In this book Christophe Guilluy uncovers this forgotten continent of the dispossessed and shows how ordinary people are rising up and responding to their programmed disappearance by forging an alternative to a doomed model.
Ninety-Nine Words for Rain (and One for Sun)
Meet the néaladóirí (cloud-watchers) and réadóirí (stargazers) from our past who, without the luxury of Met Éireann at their disposal, observed birds, trees, animals, as well as markers on land and sea for signs of weather change. The sheer richness and variety of terms they amassed reveal the closeness with which they observed the world around them. Swallows flying low foretold rain. The heron’s behaviour offered many hints: Aimsir chrua thirim nuair a bhíonn an corr éisc suas in aghaidh srutha chun na sléibhte (when the heron flies upstream to the mountains the weather will be dry but rough). Fearthainn nuair a thagann sí an abhainn anuas (when she goes downstream, it will rain). Evoking countless sodden, shivery experiences on this Atlantic-swept island of ours, this beautifully illustrated gift book uses Irish words to grasp an almost-lost world through the wisdom stored in the Irish language.
Life With Lacan
?There was a time when I felt that I had grasped Lacan?s essential being from within ? that I had gained, as it were, an apperception of his relation to the world, a mysterious access to that intimate place from which sprang his relation to people and things, and even to himself. It was as if I had slipped within him.? In this short book, Catherine Millot offers a richly evocative reflection on her life as analysand and lover of the greatest psychoanalyst since Freud. Dwelling on their time together in Paris and in Lacan?s country house in Guitrancourt, as well as describing their many travels, Millot provides unparalleled insights into Lacan?s character as well as his encounters with other major European thinkers of the time. She also sheds new light on key themes, including Lacan?s obsession with the Borromean knot and gradual descent into silence, all enlivened by her unique perspective. This beautifully written memoir, awarded the André Gide Prize for Literature, will be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the life and character of a thinker who continues to exert a wide influence in psychoanalysis and across the humanities and social sciences.
Getting Russia Right
As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today? With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world. Also available as an audiobook.
The State and the Soldier
America's Founding Fathers feared that a standing army would be a permanent political danger, yet the U.S. military has in the 250 years since become a bulwark of democracy. Kori Schake explains why in this compelling history of civil-military relations from independence to the challenges of the present. The book begins with General Washington's vital foundational example of subordination to elected leaders during the Revolutionary War. Schake recounts numerous instances in the following century when charismatic military leaders tried to challenge political leaders and explains the emergence of restrictions on uses of the military for domestic law enforcement. She explores the crucial struggle between President Andrew Johnson and Congress after Lincoln's assassination, when Ulysses Grant had to choose whether to obey the Commander-in-Chief or the law – and chose to obey the law. And she shows how the professionalization of the military in the twentieth century inculcated norms of civilian control. The U.S. military is historically anomalous for maintaining its strength and popularity while never becoming a threat to democracy. Schake concludes by asking if its admirable record can be sustained when the public is pulling the military into the political divisions of our time.
