And, as we outsource ever more to this technology, what will be left for humans to do?

This is my story.”So begins this colourfully illustrated book telling the story of Empress Matilda, a medieval feminist who fought to gain her rightful place as Queen of England.With a foreword by Lindy Grant, Professor Emerita of Medieval History at the University of Reading, and an expert in Kingship and Queenship in the High Middle Ages.
The Third Revolution
In this updated paperback edition of The Third Revolution, eminent China scholar Elizabeth C. Economy provides an incisive look at the transformative changes underway in China today. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has unleashed a powerful set of political and economic reforms: the centralization of power under Xi, himself, the expansion of the Communist Party''s role in Chinese political, social, and economic life, and the construction of a virtual wall of regulations to control more closely the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world. Through a wide-ranging exploration of Xi Jinping''s top political, economic and foreign policy priorities-fighting corruption, managing the Internet, reforming the state-owned enterprise sector, improving the country''s innovation capacity, enhancing air quality, and elevating China''s presence on the global stage-Economy identifies the tensions, shortcomings, and successes of Xi''s reform efforts over the course of his time in office. She also assesses their implications for the rest of the world, and provides recommendations for how the United States and others should navigate their relationship with this vast nation in the coming years. This updated edition features new material on China''s reaction to the rise of Trump and his economic nationalist policies.

African Religions
Africa is home to hundreds of ethnic groups, who together speak more than a thousand languages. It is not surprising, then, that Africa''s enormous range of peoples, cultures, and ways of life has engendered a wide diversity of religious practices.This Very Short Introduction offers a wide-ranging look at the myriad indigenous religious traditions on the African continent. Drawing on archeological research, historical evidence, ethnographic studies, and archival materials such as missionary records, Jacob Olupona-one of the world''s leading authorities on African religions-captures a wealth of information in a short compass. The book not only gives the reader a full and vivid sense of African religious belief-exploring myths, gods and local deities, ancestor worship, rites of passage, festivals, divination, and much more-but it also underscores the role these religions play in everyday African life. Indeed, traditional religions inform everything from birthing and death, marriage and family dynamics, to diet, dress and grooming, health care, and even governance. Monarchs, chiefs, and elders play both political and religious roles, imparting secular and spiritual guidance to their subjects, while also being guardians of religious centres such as shrines, temples, and sacred forests. The author also examines the spread of Christianity and Islam throughout Africa, both the moderate sects (which often blend aspects of indigenous faith into their own practice) and the more extreme fundamentalist sects, which the author states have had a dire effect on African life. In fact, radical forms of Christianity and Islam-both of which decry tradition religion as paganism--have driven a near total collapse of indigenous practice. But if traditional religions are engaged in a battle for their lives in Africa, Olupona shows that they are thriving elsewhere in the world-particularly in the Americas and in Europe.About the Series:Oxford''s Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.

Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library. Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

The Devil Reached Toward the Sky
From the New York Times bestselling author of When the Sea Came Alive and The Only Plane in the Sky, a sweeping and comprehensive oral history of the atomic bomb's creation and deployment, marking the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
April 12, 1945. Less than three months into his vice presidency, Harry Truman is catapulted into the Oval Office following the sudden death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As he recites the oath, he learns a chilling secret known only to a select few: the United States is on the verge of deploying a weapon of unimaginable power. This weapon could end the war but also herald a new age of global fear and uncertainty.
Drawing from over twenty-five oral history archives across the US, Japan, and Europe, Graff has masterfully blended the memories and perspectives from key figures like Harry Truman and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the crews of the B-29 bombers, Enola Gay and Bock's Car, the rescuers who bravely faced the destruction, and the haunting stories of those at ground zero in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including the experiences of the hibakusha - the 'bomb-affected people'.
Enriched by memoirs, diaries, letters, official documents, and news reports, this is an immersive and deeply human account of the Manhattan Project through the end of World War II and the dawning of the Cold War, offering a vivid, multi-dimensional view of events that reshaped the world forever.
*New York Times #7 on the Hardcover Non-Fiction Chart, week of August 25th, 2025.
Faustian Bargain
When Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, launching World War Two, its army seemed an unstoppable force. The Luftwaffe bombed towns and cities across the country, and fifty divisions of the Wehrmacht crossed the border. Yet only two decades earlier, at the end of World War One, Germany had been an utterly and abjectly defeated military power. Foreign troops occupied its industrial heartland and the Treaty of Versailles reduced the vaunted German army of World War One to a fraction of its size, banning it from developing new military technologies. When Hitler came to power in 1933, these strictures were still in effect. By 1939, however, he had at his disposal a fighting force of 4.2 million men, armed with the most advanced weapons in the world. How could this nearly miraculous turnaround have happene? he answer lies in Russia. Beginning in the years immediately after World War One and continuing for more than a decade, the German military and the Soviet Union--despite having been mortal enemies--entered into a partnership designed to overturn the order in Europe. Centering on economic and military cooperation, the arrangement led to the establishment of a network of military bases and industrial facilities on Soviet soil. Through their alliance, which continued for over a decade, Germany gained the space to rebuild its army. In return, the Soviet Union received vital military, technological and economic assistance. Both became, once again, military powers capable of a mass destruction that was eventually directed against one another.Drawing from archives in five countries, including new collections of declassified Russian documents, The Faustian Bargain offers the definitive exploration of a shadowy but fateful alliance.
Fascist Yoga
'Namaste, fascists! An original and entertaining analysis of the dubious origins of the Western middle class’s favourite postural exercise' - The TimesThe practice of yoga promises peace, self-realisation and release, thanks to the power of its 'mystic' Indian origins. But what if this is just hype? In Fascist Yoga, Stewart Home sweeps away the half-truths to tell a new origin story of the world's first modern yogi – a Californian escapologist who added some Hindu fairy dust to gym and circus exercises. Ever since, the world of yoga has been full of grifters, occultists and white supremacists, all out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise. From cult leaders to brainwashed followers, TV celebrities and fake gurus, the story of yoga has involved some of the strangest currents of humanity. Today, the COVID pandemic has activated elements within the modern yoga movement to espouse far-right conspiracies, and QAnon's fascist political programmes mirror some of yoga's key early proponents. In this new exposé, Stewart Home shows that nothing is sacred.
A People's History of Psychoanalysis
It has been decades since Freud fell out of favour, not only in mainstream psychiatry but also in radical thought, where both he and Lacan were accused of sexist and class biases. A People's History of Psychoanalysis refuses to accept this growing depoliticization of a formerly revolutionary field. Florent Gabarron-Garcia shatters the comfortable narrative of psychoanalysts as armchair theorists placidly interpreting family complexes sheltered in their consulting rooms. Recalling Freud's radical moments (such as his promotion of free clinics in Weimar Germany), or lesser-known figures including the Marxist Feminist psychoanalyst Marie Langer, his new history delves into how revolutionary ferment has cross-fertilized the exploration of the unconscious. A People's History of Psychoanalysis is for those who wish to resist the conformist, therapist-centered, and repressive management of madness under contemporary capitalism.
Planet Patriarchy
In 1995, the UN vowed to advance 'equality, development and peace for all women, everywhere.' Instead, in the Beijing Declaration's thirtieth anniversary year, the world is lurching dangerously away from such democratic and progressive ideals--reinventing nationalist identities based on toxic-masculine values, and embracing economic policies against women's interests. This reality exists in every type of country. Why does oppression, rather than feminism, still dominate our world?
This book reveals patriarchy's many faces in the age of globalisation, exploring the political systems and cultures of eight very different societies. It takes readers from the extraordinary anti-capitalist women's revolution in Kurdistan to the theocracies of Islamic State and Saudi Arabia; from China's one-party state to Iceland's democracy; and to South Africa, Russia and El Salvador--all radically changed since the fall of apartheid, communism and military dictatorship respectively.
Despite patriarchy's remarkable shapeshifting powers to undermine feminist solidarity, Planet Patriarchy is equally a story of sisterhood and resistance, interviewing defenders of women's rights about their cause and their country. Gender inequality endures, everywhere--but so does feminism. Campbell and Gupta's fascinating discoveries show us how this timeless showdown is taking shape in, and being shaped by, the systems we live under today.
Úžasné nápady prírody
Živý a nesmierne fascinujúci ponor do prírody a mnohých prevratných ľudských vynálezov inšpirovaných divokou prírodou. Keď astronómovia hľadali teleskop, ktorý by dokázal zachytiť röntgenové žiarenie z nebeských telies, obrátili sa na homára. Keď lekári hľadali liek, ktorý by stabilizoval pacientov s cukrovkou 2. typu, našli svoju múzu v jašterici. Keď vedci chceli drasticky znížiť emisie pri výrobe cementu, pozorovali, ako si morské koraly stavajú svoje skelety. Toto je biomimetika v praxi: inšpirovať sa prírodou pri riešení ľudských výziev. V knihe Úžasné nápady prírody sa Kristy Hamiltonová venuje pozadiu niektorých z našich najneočakávanejších inovácií. Prechádza cez zamrznuté vodopády, putuje pralesmi plnými mrakov, objavuje hniezda v Mohavskej púšti, skúma prílivové oblasti, berie nás do najhlbších oceánov a do blízkosti sopiek, aby nám predstavila živočíchy a rastliny, ktoré inšpirovali všetko od systémov riadenia prepravy nákladu až po netoxické lepidlá. Autorka predstavuje mužov a ženy, ktorí počúvali svoje „Zaujímalo by ma...“ až do konca, niekedy aj proti všetkým okolnostiam. Hoci radosť z vedeckých objavov je v popredí, kniha Úžasné nápady prírody je aj ľúbostným listom prírode, doplneným o hlboké posolstvo o ochrane prírody: Ak sa chceme naďalej učiť od tvorov okolo nás, musíme chrániť ich neskrotné biotopy.
ÚŽASNÉ NÁPADY PRÍRODY „Táto výnimočná kniha rozpráva o desiatkach spôsobov, akými sa vedci snažia poučiť z prírody, aby vyriešili veľké výzvy ľudstva. Človek po jej prečítaní zostane dychtivý hľadať ďalšie, nové riešenia.“ Rob Dunn, autor Never Home Alone
„Keď sa začítate do jedinej kapitoly, objavíte znamenitú zmes vy- nálezov, ekológie, histórie, zázrakov mnohých druhov a inšpirácie, ktorá je taká pestrá a uspokojujúca, že budete čítať ďalej, dlho po tom, čo ste si mysleli, že už vám stačilo.“ Elin Kelsey, PhD., autorka Hope Matters
„Skutočne pozoruhodný debut. Hamiltonovej majstrovsky spracovaná antológia je tým najvzácnejším literárnym skvostom: knihou, ktorá je rovnako vzrušujúca ako pokorná.“ Dr. Robin George Andrews, držiteľ ocenenia za vedeckú žurnalistiku a autor knihy Super Volcanoes
„Je vzácne nájsť knihu, o ktorú by ste sa chceli podeliť so svojím sedemročným dieťaťom, ako aj s kolegami a priateľmi v práci! Hamiltonovej dielo je pútavé od prvého slova.“ Shirley-Ann Augustin-Behravesh, vedúca vedecká pracovníčka Global Futures na Arizonskej štátnej univerzite
„Úžasné nápady prírody sú prístupným pohľadom na biológiu, ktorá inšpirovala niektoré z našich najgeniálnejších vynálezov, a súčasne sú výzvou k činom na obnovu lepšieho sveta.“ Gina Rae La Cerva, autorka Feasting Wild
Kristy Hamiltonová je novinárka, ktorá sa špecializuje na vedu a životné prostredie. Jej práce sa objavili v časopisoch Wired, Hakai Magazine, Business Insider a ďalších. Bola spolumoderátorkou podcastov pre časopis Science a držiteľkou novinárskeho štipendia Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Romanovci 1613-1918, 2. vydání
Druhé vydání historie dynastie Romanovců s jejími cary a carevnami, leckdy výraznými osobnostmi a autokraty, z nichž někteří se narodili se zábleskem geniality a jiní šílenství. Tato strhující epopej, oplývající mnoha historickými anekdotami, vypráví, jak Romanovci neúprosně budovali své impérium, nevyhýbajíce se konspiracím, rodinným rivalitám, ani sexuálním extravagancím. Od Petra Velikého, despoty a milovníka bujarých večírků, budovatele ruské autokracie, vyžadujícího neustálou opilost dvora, přes Mikuláše II., posledního ruského cara s tragickým osudem, který urychlil pád říše, po Kateřinu II., největší carevnu se spoustou milenců, tato kniha odhaluje jejich tajuplný svět a neobyčejné osudy.

Nové, doplněné vydání.

Community
People often yearn for a sense of belonging and connection: they long to live in a meaningful community. In the modern age, however, this often seems to be a chimera. Does modernity doom us to be atomised individuals? Does the promise of community imply a loss of autonomy and freedom and entrench inequality and hierarchy? In this book, J. Toby Reiner examines the debates surrounding community in modern political and social thought. He outlines how liberals, conservatives, socialists, and nationalists have historically conceived of the ties that bind together political communities, and how recent political philosophers such as Rawls, Taylor, Walzer, and Sandel have debated the nature and merits of community in the contemporary world. He goes on to consider how prominent conceptions of community relate to and are in tension with characteristically modern ideals such as equality and freedom. He deftly shows how a meaningful conception of community can be reconciled with the demands of modern liberal societies. Filled with real-life examples and thought-provoking discussions of the key debates, this book will be essential reading for students of contemporary political theory and philosophy and of sociology.
Be Still
Stillness is an alien concept in today''s busy world. Communication, entertainment, work and relationships seem accessible to us 24–7, and it can feel impossible to change the pace. In Be Still, Lucy Rycroft takes us on a journey of 30 Bible devotions, reflecting on the concept of being still. From Moses leading the Israelites through the Red Sea, to the raw emotions of the Psalms, to Jesus calming the storm, the focus of this book is how we, as Christians living in the crazed busyness of the 21st century, can absorb biblical truths to help us discover what being still looks like for us today.
