A lakoma / Szókratész védőbeszéde - Trubadúr Zsebkönyvek 66.
A kötet Platón két leghíresebb dialógusát tartalmazza. A lakoma szereplői Erósznak, a szerelem istenének mérhetetlen hatalmát igyekeznek bemutatni, ki-ki a maga módján. A Szókratész védőbeszéde azt a Kr. e. 399-ben lezajlott „koncepciós pert” idézi fel, amelynek végén Platón mesterét halálra ítélték.
„Az emberi nemek száma három volt, nem kettő, mint most, férfi és nő, hanem volt még egy harmadik is, amely egyesítette magában a kettőt, ennek csak a neve maradt ránk, ő maga eltűnt.”
„ Úgy találtam, hogy ugyanaz a hibájuk a jó kézmíveseknek is, ami a költőknek: mindegyik, aki a maga mesterségét jól végezte, azt képzelte, hogy minden más dologban is ő a legbölcsebb…”
„ Tanítója soha senkinek nem voltam: de ha valaki meg akarta hallgatni, mit beszélek, és hogyan végzem hivatásomat, akár fiatal volt, akár öreg, ezt senkitől sem sajnáltam.”
„ Ha azt hiszitek, hogy egyesek megölésével valakit is meggátoltok abban, hogy helytelen éltetekért korholjon titeket, nem jól gondolkoztok.”
„ Úgy gondolkodtam, hogy inkább a törvény és igazság oldalán várom be a veszélyt, semhogy csak azért, mert a börtöntől vagy a haláltól félek, veletek tartsak, mikor jogtalanságot akartok elkövetni.”

Palatine
14 CE: The first Roman emperor is dead. A second is about to succeed. The Forum of Rome, once fought over so fiercely, has become hardly more than a museum. The house of all power is up above on the Palatine Hill, about to become the birthplace of Western bureaucracy, a warren of banqueting and bedrooms, a treacherous household where it takes special talents to survive.
This is a Roman history with a cast of new men and newly dominant women, those reviled too often in the past as flatterers and gluttons, uppity slaves and former slaves, lawyers-for-hire, chancer arrivistes and unhinged party animals. Palatine uncovers the lives of the Vitellii, perhaps Rome's least admired imperial clan, of Publius, an old-fashioned soldier snared in the politics of the new age, of Lucius, an exceptionally skilled and sycophantic courtier, and of Aulus a genial sluggard whose prowess at the table carries him all the way to the throne before collapsing his family's reputation for ever. Few now remember them. Yet in their creeping ascent to the very summit of the imperial hierarchy lie neglected truths about a lasting legacy of Rome.

How to Think Like a Philosopher
An entertaining guide to history's most fascinating philosophers – from Sappho to Kant, and Aristotle to Simone de Beauvoir – which seeks to help us answer life's big questions.
In showing how the great philosophers of human history lived and thought – and what they thought about – Peter Cave provides an accessible and enjoyable introduction to thinking philosophically and how it can change our everyday lives. He addresses questions such as: Is there anything 'out there' that gives meaning to our lives? Does reality tell us how we ought to live? What indeed is reality and what is appearance – and how can we tell the difference?
This book paints vivid portraits of an assortment of inspiring thinkers: from Lao Tzu to Avicenna to Iris Murdoch; from Hannah Arendt to Socrates and Plato to Karl Marx; from Kierkegaard and Nietzsche to Sartre to Samuel Beckett – and let us not forget Lewis Carroll for some thought-provoking fantasies and Ludwig Wittgenstein for the anguishes of a genius. As well as displaying optimists and pessimists, believers and non-believers, the book displays relevance to current affairs, from free speech to abortion to the treatment of animals to our leaders' moral character.
Cave brings to life these often prescient, always compelling philosophical thinkers, showing how their ways of approaching the world grew out of their own lives and times and how we may make valuable use of their insights today. Now, more than ever, we need to understand how to live, and how to understand the world around us.
Prostě vztahy
„Jsem opravdu stejná jako matka?“
„Máš radši zvířata než lidi!“
„Nemít prachy? Vadí!“
„Ty jsi víc v práci než doma…“
Že důležité vztahy v našem životě nejsou jen ty partnerské či intimní, ukazuje nejnovější kniha psychoterapeuta Honzy Vojtka. Dívá se na vztahy z širší, pro někoho možná překvapivé perspektivy: navazujeme je totiž s živými bytostmi i neživými předměty. Dovedeme si vytvořit pouto s časem, s bohem, ale podobné vazby vytváříme také k penězům a s vervou kupíme majetek. Jak moc nás při vytváření jakýchkoli vztahů ovlivňují pouta v rámci rodiny? Proč je pro někoho práce nutné zlo a pro jiné druhý domov? Proč nás rozčilují zlozvyky některých kolegů? A můžeme vztahy nenavazovat?

Free and Equal
Imagine: you are designing a society, but you don't know who you'll be within it - rich or poor, man or woman, gay or straight. What would you want that society to look like?
This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today.
Taking Rawls's humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and which operates within the limits of our finite planet.
This is a book brimming with hope and possibility - a galvanising alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Free and Equal has the potential not only to transform contemporary debate, but to offer a touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to come, cementing Rawls's place in political discourse, and firmly establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.

Tripped
Berlin, 1945. Following the fall of the Third Reich, drug use - long kept under control by the Nazis' strict anti-drug laws - is rampant throughout the city. In the American sector, Arthur J. Giuliani of the nascent Federal Bureau of Narcotics is tasked with learning about the Nazis' drug policies and bringing home anything that might prove 'useful'.
Five years later, Harvard professor Dr Henry Beecher begins work with the US government to uncover the research behind the Nazis' psychedelics programme. Originally created for medical purposes by Dr Albert Hofmann, the Nazis coopted LSD to experiment with mind control and find a 'truth serum' - research that the US, particularly the CIA, is desperate to acquire.
Based on extensive archival research, Tripped is a wild, unconventional post-war history, a spiritual sequel to Norman Ohler's bestselling Blitzed. Revealing the hidden connections between the Nazis and the CIA's notorious brainwashing experimentation programme, MKUltra, Ohler shares how this secret history held back the therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades as the West sought to turn LSD into a weapon.
Antikomunistické manifesty
Předmětem fundované a čtivé Flemingovy práce je čtveřice vlivných knih, které formovaly studenou válku: Tma o polednách (1940) maďarského novináře a intelektuála Arthura Koestlera, Ze tmy (1941) německého námořníka a dělnického aktivisty Jana Valtina, Zvolil jsem svobodu (1946) sovětského inženýra Viktora Kravčenka a Svědek (1952) amerického žurnalisty Whittakera Chamberse. Všichni autoři byli pravověrnými komunisty, které trpká deziluze přivedla k odklonu od jejich ideologie; všichni o tomto zvratu napsali emotivní svědectví.
Příběhy všech těchto čtyř knih a jejich autorů zasazuje John V. Fleming do širokého historického kontextu třicátých až padesátých let 20. století a rozebírá je ve všemožných souvislostech od politologických, literárněkritických až po psychologické. Především ukazuje na téměř fatální iluze levicové a částečně i liberální západoevropské veřejnosti ve vztahu ke stalinismu, komunismu a Sovětskému svazu zejména po druhé světové válce i obdobnou situaci americké veřejnosti hlavně během války. Nebezpečí vlivu stalinských komunistických stran na Západě a jejich sympatizantů bylo všeobecně podceňováno. Při demaskování vražedné a nelidské povahy sovětského systému sehrály – jak Fleming přesvědčivě ukazuje – čtyři analyzované knihy, „antikomunistické manifesty“, velice důležitou roli a napomohly k porážce stalinistických sympatizantů a k reorientaci západní veřejnosti a politických reprezentací směrem k obraně demokratických a liberálních hodnot.
The Dip
A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller
In this iconic bestseller, legendary business thinker and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often and quit without guilt – until they commit to beating the right Dip.
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out fun . . .then gets really hard, and not much fun at all. You might be in a Dip – a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac – a total dead end. What really sets superstars apart is the ability to tell the two apart.
Winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can beat the Dip to be the best, you’ll earn profits, glory and long-term security.
Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort and talents. The old saying is wrong – winners do quit, and quitters do win.
The Truck Book
A RIP-ROARIN' RIDE THROUGH TRUCKIN’ HISTORY!
A lavishly illustrated celebration of trucks and trucking, from the first motorized wagons to the advent of driverless freight vehicles.
Charting decade after decade of innovation and change, The Truck Book is a beautifully illustrated history of trucks and trucking culture, and the romance of the open road.
Trucks, lorries, and vans share their origins in the steam wagons of the late-1800s and the invention of the modern combustion engine in the 1870s. As steam power gave way to petrol and diesel engines, trucks evolved and diversified according to their desired purpose - becoming everything from panel vans and pick-up trucks through to heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), or construction trucks like log carriers or concrete transporters. They have played a defining role in the wars of the last 100 years, saved lives as ambulances and fire engines, and even provided entertainment in the form of monster trucks.
Each chapter showcases the most important and iconic marques and models of every era - from the Ford TT to the Bedford TM Turbo 92 Series, to the Toyota Hilux. Along the way, it evokes the freedom and nostalgia of the open road, explores trucking culture, and shows how trucks or trucking companies, such as UPS or Eddie Stobart, have won a place in fans' hearts.
Weaving together stunning photographic catalogues with specially commissioned "visual tours", feature spreads on truck models, designers, and manufacturers, as well as on milestone events or technological developments over the last 120 years, The Truck Book is the most comprehensive and best-illustrated title available on the subject.
On the Origin of Time
Stephen Hawking's closest collaborator offers the intellectual superstar's final thoughts on the universe.
Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. In order to solve this mystery, Hawking studied the big bang origin of the universe, but his early work ran into a crisis when the math predicted many big bangs producing a multiverse - countless different universes, most of which would be far too bizarre to harbour life.
Holed up in the theoretical physics department at Cambridge, Stephen Hawking and his friend and collaborator Thomas Hertog worked on this problem for twenty years, developing a new theory of the cosmos that could account for the emergence of life.
Peering into the extreme quantum physics of cosmic holograms and venturing far back in time, they were startled to find a deeper level of evolution in which the physical laws themselves transform and simplify until particles, forces, and even time itself fades away. This discovery led them to a revolutionary idea: The laws of physics are not set in stone but are born and co-evolve as the universe they govern takes shape. As Hawking's final days drew near, the two collaborators published their theory, which proposed a radical new Darwinian perspective on the origins of our universe.
On the Origin of Time offers a striking new vision of the universe's birth that will profoundly transform the way we think about our place in the order of the cosmos and may ultimately prove to be Hawking's greatest legacy.
Ortodontická léčba pacientů s rozštěpem

Vytváření socialistické noci
Noc představuje všeobecně zvláštní či svým způsobem mimoběžný čas s vlastními významy, příležitostmi a nebezpečími, a také politickými, náboženskými, společenskými i hospodářskými důsledky. Od nejstarších kultur působí jako metafora a symbol, a provází rétoriku a obraznost nejrůznějších myšlenkových směrů a sociálních projektů, utopií a experimentů. Také je často spojována se zločinem.
V moderní době byl noční čas systematicky "kolonizován" a noční činnost "normalizována". Průmyslová modernita si noc podmanila jakožto další příležitost pro pracovní a výrobní procesy. Rozvoj technologií a osvětlení pak noční město otevřel lidem jakožto prostor volného času a zábavy. Všechny tyto aspekty působily i v Československu po druhé světové válce, které se tehdy vydalo cestou budování nového – socialistického – společenského systému, jehož oficiálně dosáhlo v roce 1960. Kniha se proto zabývá otázkou, jak se v tomto procesu utvářela nová – socialistická – noc, ať už v jejím symbolickém vnímání, tak v každodenním prožívání.
