The Great Leveler
How only violence and catastrophes have consistently reduced inequality throughout world historyAre mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world. Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling—mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues—have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Scheidel identifies and examines these processes, from the crises of the earliest civilizations to the cataclysmic world wars and communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, and that is a good thing. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future. An essential contribution to the debate about inequality, The Great Leveler provides important new insights about why inequality is so persistent—and why it is unlikely to decline anytime soon.

Symbols of Freedom
How American symbols inspired enslaved people and their allies to fight for true freedom In the early United States, anthems, flags, holidays, monuments, and memorials were powerful symbols of an American identity that helped unify a divided people. A language of freedom played a similar role in shaping the new nation. The Declaration of Independence's assertion "that all men are created equal," Patrick Henry's cry of "Give me liberty, or give me death!," and Francis Scott Key's "star-spangled banner" waving over "the land of the free and the home of the brave," were anthemic celebrations of a newly free people. Resonating across the country, they encouraged the creation of a republic where the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was universal, natural, and inalienable. For enslaved people and their allies, the language and symbols that served as national touchstones made a mockery of freedom. Deriding the ideas that infused the republic's founding, they encouraged an empty American culture that accepted the abstract notion of equality rather than the concrete idea. Yet, as award-winning author Matthew J. Clavin reveals, it was these powerful expressions of American nationalism that inspired forceful and even violent resistance to slavery. Symbols of Freedom is the surprising story of how enslaved people and their allies drew inspiration from the language and symbols of American freedom. Interpreting patriotic words, phrases, and iconography literally, they embraced a revolutionary nationalism that not only justified but generated open opposition. Mindful and proud that theirs was a nation born in blood, these disparate patriots fought to fulfill the republic's promise by waging war against slavery. In a time when the US flag, the Fourth of July, and historical sites have never been more contested, this book reminds us that symbols are living artifacts whose power is derived from the meaning with which we imbue them.
Continental Reckoning
Finalist for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in History Winner of Columbia University's 2024 Bancroft Prize in American History Winner of the 2024 Caughey Western History Prize Winner of the 2024 Spur Award Named a Best Civil War Book of 2023 by Civil War Monitor In Continental Reckoning renowned historian Elliott West presents a sweeping narrative of the American West and its vital role in the transformation of the nation. In the 1840s, by which time the United States had expanded to the Pacific, what would become the West was home to numerous vibrant Native cultures and vague claims by other nations. Thirty years later it was organized into states and territories and bound into the nation and world by an infrastructure of rails, telegraph wires, and roads and by a racial and ethnic order, with its Indigenous peoples largely dispossessed and confined to reservations. Unprecedented exploration uncovered the West’s extraordinary resources, beginning with the discovery of gold in California within days of the United States acquiring the territory following the Mexican-American War. As those resources were developed, often by the most modern methods and through modern corporate enterprise, half of the contiguous United States was physically transformed. Continental Reckoning guides the reader through the rippling, multiplying changes wrought in the western half of the country, arguing that these changes should be given equal billing with the Civil War in this crucial transition of national life. As the West was acquired, integrated into the nation, and made over physically and culturally, the United States shifted onto a course of accelerated economic growth, a racial reordering and redefinition of citizenship, engagement with global revolutions of science and technology, and invigorated involvement with the larger world. The creation of the West and the emergence of modern America were intimately related. Neither can be understood without the other. With masterful prose and a critical eye, West presents a fresh approach to the dawn of the American West, one of the most pivotal periods of American history.

Miről álmodik a lány - Az Anna-bálok története - (Különleges kiadás)
A kislányok arról álmodoznak, hogy királylányok lesznek, csodálatos ruhában belépnek egy szépen feldíszített terembe, ahol halk zene szól, és minden szem rájuk szegeződik.

Svatí charismatici
Přinejmenším od poloviny 20. století jsme svědky rostoucího zájmu o Ducha svatého a jeho charismata, přesněji o službu evangelizace v moci Boží. Patrick Reis je katolický laik z USA, otec početné rodiny, který této službě zasvětil svůj život. Snaží se do ní uvádět i mnohé další, dnes i pomocí Školy služby (Encounter School of Ministry), kterou vede a jež má širokou mezinárodní působnost. V této knize s námi sdílí několik krásných inspirací ze životů svatých, kteří měli v tomto směru velké zkušenosti: oslovili ho Vincenc Ferrerský, Filip Neri, Kateřina Sienská, František Xaverský, otec Pio a Serafim Sarovský. Od každého z nich se můžeme naučit něčemu jinému, ale především se nechat povzbudit v tom, že Duch svatý touží zprostředkovávat Boží lásku a moc i v naší době, a to nejen skrze duchovní velikány.
Beyond the Battlefield
Maintaining battlefield readiness is essential with this demanding environment. A military leader`s primary responsibility is to manage combat stress and inspire their troops to perform under the harshest conditions. In war, there is no prize for second place—military leadership determines victory or defeat, life or death, and honour or humiliation. In the Indian Armed Forces, spirituality has long been a cornerstone of leadership, influencing values, principles, and strategies. The author, a practitioner of spirituality, delves into how India’s rich spiritual traditions can empower military leaders. This book explores the intersection of spirituality and military leadership, deeply analysing how Indian philosophical thought continues to shape and elevate military leaders. The author believes integrating spirituality into military leadership will foster resilience, ethical conduct, and mental fortitude. This framework will prepare future leaders to excel in warfare, make sound decisions under pressure, uphold integrity in adversity, and lead with compassion and courage.
The Barbed-Wire University
According to popular myth, Allied prisoners of war during the Second World War spent most of their time escaping. In fact, from Germany to the Far East, they were doing much more remarkable things. Faced with the prospect of years of boredom, these servicemen took up the crafts and professions they'dpursued before their captivity - or set about learning new ones. They formed orchestras(asking the Red Cross to send kettle drums), sat accountancy exams (textbooks,please), dressed up in drag and put on operas. They contested Ashes series, laidout golf courses in the exercise yard. When they needed medical care, their ownsurgeons perfected camp dentistry, fashioned prosthetic limbs. Actors like Clive Dunn and Donald Pleasance, cartoonists like Ronald Searle, artists like Terry Frost - all developed, or even first plied, their crafts while POWs. Little wonderthat one camp in Germany became known as 'the Barbed-Wire University' . . . Acclaimed on firstpublication, this superb book is now reissued with an extensive Afterword.

Co znamená být duchovní?
Co dnes rozumíme pod pojmem „duchovní zkušenost“ v rámci křesťanské tradice? Jaké kritérium ji odlišuje od jiných forem lidské zkušenosti? A je každá zkušenost na poli spirituality skutečně „duchovní“? Předkládaná kolektivní monografie zkoumá fenomén křesťanské duchovní zkušenosti v teologickém rámci, propojuje přitom historické sondy s výzvami, které přináší současná spirituální teologie. Úvodní studie i následujících osm kapitol se pokouší vést dialog nejen mezi spirituální zkušeností křesťanského Východu a Západu, ale také mezi teologickou tradicí a myšlením současného (post)sekulárního světa.

Superior and Inferior. Conversations among girls at middle school
The book Superior and Inferior presents a facsimile reprint of Carla Accardi’s provocatory publication Superiore e Inferioreand the first ever English translation of the full text. First published in 1972 by Italian abstract artist and feminist Carla Accardi (1924–2014), the book Superiore e Inferiorefeatures discussions among girls at a middle school – all between 10 and 13 – about society’s discriminatory behaviourtowards women. They also commented the Manifesto of the revolutionary feminist group Rivolta Femminile – collectivelywritten by Accardi, art critic and feminist activist Carla Lonzi, and Elvira Banotti – which first appeared posted on city wallsin Rome in July 1970. For having discussed sex-related issues with pupils, Accardi was fired and permanently suspended from teaching. (Herletter of dismissal issued by the Italian Ministry of Education forms part of the introduction to the book.)Along the lines of Pasolini’s Comizi d’Amore (Love Meetings), Accardi’s own voice is secondary in the book, giving way tothe thoughts, narratives, opinions, and debates expressed among girls on the role of women and girls, family conflicts andintimate relations.
Symbols and Sacrifice in War
A new theory of how soldiers persevere through the hardships of long warsNationalism and its effect on military strategy have long been of interest to scholars of conflict. Outcomes of war are not solely determined by firepower and numbers, but also by the motivations of soldiers fighting for their nation. This book presents a new theory about the will to fight, arguing that how a conflict resonates with the myths, symbols, and core beliefs underlying national identity shapes soldiers' morale, discipline, and initiative in battle. Brathwaite compares the will to fight of British, Indian, and Australian soldiers in World War II. She draws on military records, such as unit diaries and morale reports, to demonstrate the connection between identity and the will to fight. Her research is important because political leaders make key decisions on matters ranging from the use of force to military manpower policy based on beliefs about what motivates soldiers in battle. Scholars of security studies, policymakers, and military professionals will be interested in this new theory of a key aspect of military effectiveness and power.
A Thrilling Narrative of Indian Captivity
This edition of A Thrilling Narrative of Indian Captivity rescues from obscurity a crucially important work about the bitterly contested 1862 U.S.-Dakota War in Minnesota. Written by Mary Butler Renville, an Anglo woman, with the assistance of her Dakota husband, John Baptiste Renville, A Thrilling Narrative of Indian Captivity was printed as a book only once, in 1863, and has not been republished since. The work details the Renvilles’ experiences as “captives” among their Dakota kin in the Upper Camp and chronicles the story of the Dakota Peace Party. Their sympathetic portrayal of those who opposed the war in 1862 combats the stereotypical view that most Dakotas supported it and illuminates the injustice of their exile from Dakota homelands. From the authors’ unique perspective as an interracial couple, they paint a complex picture of race, gender, and class relations on successive midwestern frontiers. This narrative provides fresh insights into the most controversial event in the region’s history, and includes groundbreaking historical and literary contexts for the text and a first-time collection of extant Dakota correspondence with authorities during the war.
Triumph Over Trauma
In Triumph Over Trauma, Gary Fisher and Jeremy Van Delinder provide a framework for recovery for those affected by moral injury and trauma.The typical treatment for moral injury and trauma is medication and clinical counseling, and while Chaplains Gary Fisher and Jeremy Van Delinder do not disparage those practices, they have personally seen the power of faith, grace, forgiveness, and a supportive community for those in need. Fisher and Van Delinder’s experiences in ministry, military service and emergency services have revealed the necessary role of spiritual, emotional, and communal support in a person’s journey to recovery. Written for combat veterans, fire fighters, law enforcement members, and their families, Triumph Over Trauma supports those seeking to understand and overcome moral injury and trauma.Triumph Over Trauma is unique in its emphasis on a person’s soul heath—something often ignored in the medical and mental health communities. Combat veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking to know more about the path to recovery will learn how to: Identify symptoms of moral injury and traumaUnderstand how human beings are hard-wired for self-preservation when confronted with traumaRecognize the sources of moral injury Break down the long-term implications of unresolved moral injury, PTS, and PTSDCommunicate with family members the importance of their role in the recovery of their loved oneEstablish healthy habits that contribute to a lifestyle of peace and wellnessDiscover the spiritual implications of moral injury and the role of the soul Replace embarrassment and fear with peace and healthy self-worthGary Fisher and Jeremy Van Delinder designed Triumph Over Trauma as an encouraging resource for anyone in need to take action and develop a plan for recovery, victory, and success for their future.
