In this sweeping exploration of the continent's forgotten past, Laurence Blair takes as his waymarks nine countries that can't be found on a map: vanished realms, half-imagined utopias and dismembered homelands. Looking beyond modern borders, he travels to each in turn - on foot and horseback, by rail and river - to weave an epic of survival, resistance and revolution.
Blair's journey spans five centuries and thousands of miles, ranging from ancient Amazonian civilisations and a rebel Inca dynasty in the Peruvian jungle - via a Brazilian Wakanda that defied slavery, Bolivia's landlocked navy and the Patagonian power that defeated the Spanish Empire - to the African freedom fighters who marched over the Andes from Argentina, and the Napoleon of the New World who led Paraguay to its ruin.
This is the story of South America as is rarely told: at the epicentre of global history and the forging of the modern world.

Inherited Fate
The international bestseller.Our families shape who we are. From the circumstances of our conception and the family structure we are born into, to the expectations placed upon us and the love we receive, we are formed by our social and familial network. So if we want to truly know ourselves – to find out why we falter, to explain our anxieties, our repeated relationship patterns – we must look beyond our own lives and discover the secrets, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met.In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body.We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future.Inherited Fate explores:the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth – such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order;the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma – both individual and collective;the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood;how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried.

The Zambezi
The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, and one of the continent''s principal arteries of movement, migration, conquest and commerce. In this book, historian Malyn Newitt quotes rarely used Portuguese sources that throw vivid light on the culture of the river peoples and their relations with the Portuguese creole society of the prazos. Hitherto unused manuscript material illustrates Portuguese and British colonial rule over the people of the long-lived Lunda kingdoms, and the Lozi of the Barotse Floodplain. The Zambezi became a war zone during the ''Scramble for Africa'', the struggle for independence and the civil wars that followed the departure of colonial powers. Recent history has also seen the river''s wild nature tamed by the introduction of steamers and the building of bridges and dams. These developments have changed the character of the waterway, and impacted--often drastically--the ecological systems of the valley and those settled along its course. The Zambezi traces the history of the communities that have lived along this great river; their relationship with the states formed on the high veldt; and the ways they have adapted to the vagaries of the Zambezi itself, with its annual floods, turbulent rapids and dramatic gorges.
Esoteric Orientalism
Esoteric Orientalism studies Victorian esotericism and academic Orientalism as the nineteenth century's most significant comparative frameworks for understanding global religions, languages, and cultures. Occultist formations like the Theosophical Society (led by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky) and Orientalist disciplines like philology and comparative religion (as exemplified by Friedrich Max Müller) both believed in the essential kinship of East and West, routed through the Aryan family hypothesis—generating new visions of race and caste even while expanding the category of self. Still, theosophy and philology shared a contentious relationship. Blavatsky's writings anticipate postcolonial commentary in critiquing Orientalist scholarly presumption; her fantastical citational practices hold a mortifying mirror to academic Orientalism. Ultimately, this study traces how heterogeneous, riven, and powerfully consequential the larger discourse of Orientalism could be. Esoteric Orientalism combines broad historical narrative with literary close reading, recasting Theosophy as a speculative and imaginative construct through which to read Orientalist discourse more broadly.
After the Spike
An eye-opening exploration of humanity’s unprecedented path to global depopulation and why it''s in everyone''s interests to prevent it''Stunning . . . essential reading'' Daniel H. Pink, author of DriveIf we continue as we are, with birth rates falling globally, the world’s human population will peak in the next few decades – and then begin a sudden and rapid decline. It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better: better for the planet, better for the people who remain. In After the Spike, two leading population economists ask us to think again.Carefully weighing the evidence and the many claims that surround this controversial subject, Dean Spears and Mike Geruso explain why depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for the climate crisis, nor will it improve lives. Far more likely is that the progress which has raised living standards so dramatically over the last two centuries will slow or even reverse. As humanity’s future shrinks, it will become more fragile and less certain, and harder for us to escape from global poverty, disease and injustice.Halting this decline and stabilising the population need not mean sacrificing a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities. In fact, they argue, it can only be achieved with women’s reproductive rights and individual choice as driving forces. But if we want future generations to enjoy lives even better than our own, it’s time to take seriously society’s collective task of lifting the burdens of parents and other carers.Deeply reasoned and uncompromisingly humane, After the Spike sheds important light on a dramatic shift in the human story and asks us to consider what future we should want for our planet, our children, and one another.--‘A remarkable blend of empirical research and philosophical argument that has challenged, and changed, my thinking about population’ Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation‘After the Spike dissolves our preconceptions through evidence, rigour and a deep compassion for all’ Toby Ord, author of The Precipice‘As stirring as it is thoughtful, rigorous and morally uncompromising’ Anastasia Berg, author of What Are Children For?‘I had my mind blown over and over and over’ Zach Weinersmith, coauthor of A City on Mars‘Fascinating, thoughtful and timely’ Simon Johnson, Nobel Laureate in Economics‘The insights and rigour are matched by human and empathetic narrative throughout’ Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World‘The most interesting and important book I’ve read in years’ Katy Milkman, author of How to Change
Nový zákon o niektorých opatreniach na zvýšenie odolnosti SR v oblasti obrany a bezpečnosti a o brannej povinnosti 10/2025
Nový zákon o niektorých opatreniach na zvýšenie odolnosti SR v oblasti obrany a bezpečnosti a o brannej povinnosti
Dňa 1. júla 2025 nadobudol účinnosť zákon č. 150/2025 Z.z., ktorý popri vytvorení Národných obranných síl a Žandárskeho zboru novo definoval vznik a zánik brannej povinnosti a zároveň novelizoval 30 súvisiacich zákonov. Podľa § 45 vzniká branná povinnosť občanovi (mužovi) s trvalým pobytom na území SR 1. januára roka, v ktorom dovŕši 19 rokov veku, a podľa § 47 zaniká 31. decembra roka, v ktorom dovŕši 55 rokov veku. Práva a povinnosti vyyplývajúce z ďalších ustanovení zákona sa teda týkajú všetkých mužov mladších ako 55 rokov, preto sme sa rozhodli nový zákon vydať v samostatnej publikácii spolu s dôvodovou správou aktualizovanou na základe prijatých pozmeňujúcich návrhov poslancov, resp. výborov NRSR.
ZÁKON Č. 150/2025 Z.Z. O NIEKTORÝCH OPATRENIACH NA ZVÝŠENIE ODOLNOSTI SLOVENSKEJ REPUBLIKY V OBLASTI OBRANY A BEZPEČNOSTI, O BRANNEJ POVINNOSTI A O ZMENE A DOPLNENÍ NIEKTORÝCH ZÁKONOV
Zákon cti - Jak dochází k morálním revolucím
V tomto průkopnickém díle Kwame Anthony Appiah, mnohými považovaný za „jednoho z nejdůležitějších filozofů dnešní doby“ (New York Times Book Review), mění způsob, jakým chápeme lidské chování i to, jak dochází k sociálním reformám. Pomocí oslnivé argumentace ukazuje, že nová demokratická hnutí v posledním století nebyla vedena zákonnými opatřeními shora. Zabývá se ukončením instituce souboje v aristokratické Anglii, bouřlivými boji o ukončení svazování chodidel v Číně 19. století, povstáním obyčejných lidí proti hrůzám transatlantického otroctví a vraždami ze cti v současném Pákistánu. Vytvořil „fascinující studii morální revoluce“ (Philadelphia Inquirer), která poukazuje na rozhodující roli, kterou v boji proti nelidskosti člověka vůči člověku hraje čest.
Merkel's Law
In the vein of Notorious RBG, a fun and inspiring biography filled with lessons from the most powerful woman in the world, based on more than a decade’s worth of coverage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel from New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy.Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the “Merkel Diamond”) and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. The first woman chancellor of Germany and one of the longest-serving European leaders ever, Merkel’s quiet resolve, calculated confidence, and extreme privacy around her personal life have made her a feminist role model for the ages. Merkel’s Law is a revelatory look at an unlikely vanguard, and at the country she led for sixteen years. No one is better positioned than New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy to pull back the curtain on the woman who engineered Germany’s rise to wealth, power, and an economy worth 3.8 trillion in USD. Drawing upon an unparalleled well of sources close to Merkel, Merkel’s Law traces her childhood in East Germany as the daughter of a clergyman, her meteoric rise to power, and her more recent public acclaim—as well as the numerous setbacks she faced along the way both from political rivals and from men in her own party who scoffed at her ambition. Painting a portrait of a political genius, savvy businesswoman, and model for modern power, Merkel’s Law is not only the story of her life, but the lessons we can learn from it.

Coming of Age
Why do teenagers act as they do?'Brilliant' PANDORA SYKES'Fascinating, moving ... clear-eyed' DAILY MAIL'Wise and revelatory' GUARDIAN** A GUARDIAN AND TELEGRAPH BEST PAPERBACK PICK **What we experience during adolescence shapes us for life, but psychologist Lucy Foulkes shows that too often we fear, dismiss or even try to prevent aspects of it that are crucial to our development. Drawing on decades of psychological research, and including profoundly moving interviews, Coming of Age gets beneath the recent myths and age-old stereotypes of adolescence to reveal the real reasons why teens behave the way they do. Above all, Foulkes shows that adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for resilience, empathy and mutual support, and that even the most challenging encounters are part of an essential process of self-discovery. 'Foulkes is steeped in knowledge about, as well as respect for, teenage life' OBSERVER'A wonderful and deeply moving book' MARK HADDON'Reveals adolescence's unwritten rules' JO BRAND
The Animal and the Thinker
Why are we so often in conflict-arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are and what we need from our lives?
In The Animal and The Thinker, the world-leading, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan explains that each of us is not just one person - we are two. On one side are our animal instincts, built on the sophisticated needs of human life through evolution, but struggling to navigate the complexity of modern life. On the other side is our rational brain which calculates and cogitates, but is often helpless in the face of bigger questions of meaning and purpose.
Dovetailing these two competing sides of ourselves, Duncan draws on a lifetime's pioneering work to attack puzzles that have concerned thinkers, writers and philosophers through human history. Right and wrong. Freedom and responsibility. Women and men. Democracy and justice. Ambition and fulfilment. Understanding how these two sides of ourselves interact offers revealing and often surprising answers to some of the great questions of our lives.
Discover a new perspective on human behaviour, and learn how we can better understand ourselves, our struggles, and our search for meaning.
Undiplomatic
Without credentials or connections, community college student and advocate Deesha Dyer navigated her imposter syndrome, landing one of the most exclusive positions in the White House. Michelle Obama calls Undiplomatic "smart, funny, and endlessly inspirational."From the most unlikely person to end up as a senior official to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama comes a candid, incredible, and inspiring story. Moved by the election of the country''s first Black president, Deesha Dyer applied for a White House internship in 2009 as a thirty-one-year-old part-time community college student, taking a leap that carried her into a permanent full-time position, followed by three promotions landing her at the epicenter of politics.In spite of the little voice in her head telling her she didn''t deserve to be there, Deesha thrived and rose to the highly coveted role of White House social secretary, giving her a front-row seat to defining moments in history while curating some of the flyest parties 1600 Pennsylvania has ever seen. Yet, with humor and realness, she peels back the curtain, revealing the hard truth about why she spent years trying to hide behind it. Undiplomatic is a deeply personal narrative about combating self-doubt while being on top of the world. Deesha reflects on how imposter syndrome threatened her self-esteem, proven aptitude, and survival until she realized that it was neither her fault nor her responsibility. In this vivid portrayal from a true "around the way girl" on the personal impact of the Obama presidency, Deesha shares her road map from imposter to impact. In Undiplomatic, she invites you on a journey of self-discovery where she overcame doubt, unearthed true love for herself, and learned that your unique worth is not something to be earned, but something inherently deserved. Uplifting, funny, and sincere, Deesha''s story shows you about authenticity at all costs, and the joy and freedom that awaits on the other side.
At Home in Roman Egypt
What was life like for ordinary people who lived in Roman Egypt? In this volume, Anna Lucille Boozer reconstructs and examines the everyday lives of non-elite individuals. It is the first book to bring a 'life course' approach to the study of Roman Egypt and Egyptology more generally. Based on evidence drawn from objects, portraits, and letters, she focuses on the quotidian details that were most meaningful to those who lived during the centuries of Roman occupation. Boozer explores these individuals through each phase of the life cycle – from conception, childbirth, childhood, and youth, to adulthood and old age – and focuses on essential themes such as religion, health, disability, death, and the afterlife. Illuminating the lives of people forgotten by most historians, her richly illustrated volume also shows how ordinary people experienced and enacted social and cultural change.
Selling Sexual Knowledge
Bringing together perspectives from the histories of medicine, sexuality, and the book, Sarah Bull presents the first study of how medical publications on sexual matters were made, promoted, and sold in Victorian Britain. Drawing on pamphlets, manuals, textbooks, periodicals, and more, this innovative book illustrates the free and unruly circulation of sexual information through a rapidly expanding publishing industry. Bull demonstrates how the ease with which print could be copied and claimed, recast and repurposed, presented persistent challenges to those seeking to position themselves as authorities over sexual knowledge at this pivotal moment. Medical publishers, practitioners, and activists embraced allegations of obscenity and censorship to promote ideas, contest authority, and consolidate emergent collective identities. Layer by layer, their actions helped create and sustain one of the most potent myths ever made about the Victorians: their sexual ignorance.This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Temný věk
Přeneste se do prvních století našeho letopočtu: Oceňovaná, kontroverzní a zároveň fascinující kniha Catherine Nixey vás vtáhne do epochy, která je pro mnohé stále zahalena tajemstvím a je vnímána jako temný věk. Do epochy, v níž nastupující křesťanská civilizace nemilosrdně likvidovala antickou kulturu a památky starověku. Zbyly jen trosky?
Temný věk ukazuje zrození západní civilizace ve zcela nových souvislostech. Autorka, historička a zkušená novinářka, odkrývá příběh ničení chrámů, pálení knih a umlčování hlasů, které nesouzněly s novým učením. Ve svém strhujícím vyprávění přirozeně spojuje odbornost s čtivým stylem a přibližuje tak nejen fakta, ale i plastický obraz světa, který se téměř podařilo vymazat z historické paměti lidstva.
Kniha roku podle Daily Telegraph, Spectator, Observer a BBC History Magazine
„Zajímalo vás, proč antickým sochám mnohdy chybějí hlavy, paže, nosy nebo genitálie? Teď už znáte odpověď. Temný věk přináší dokonalý popis zkázy a zoufalství. Nixey kombinuje autoritu seriózního akademika s expresivním stylem dobrého novináře.“ – Gerard DeGroot, The Times
„Silná, provokativní a znepokojivá.“ – Peter Frankopan, autor knihy Hedvábné stezky: Nová historie světa
„Strhující a návyková kniha zpochybňuje celé naše chápání nejranějších let křesťanství a středověké společnosti, která následovala.“ – Dan Jones, autor knihy Rytíři Templu
