And We Shall Be Changed: Christian Reflections on Death and Dying
Most of us, most of the time, prefer not to think about the universal experience of death. Death arouses disturbing instincts, emotions and memories. This is a book for those wishing to understand more about the Christian journey at the end of life, but it is not just a book about death, it is also about living with courage and grace and about facing our fears. The author writes both for the dying and for those who accompany them. He examines the questions that we are often too afraid to ask, and helps us to encompass death through a deeper understanding of the promise of union with God and life everlasting.
The Nazi Connection
The Nazi Connection details Frederick William Winterbotham''s work as Chief of the Air Intelligence Department in the British Secret Intelligence Service before World War II. Tasked with gathering intelligence on military aviation in potential adversary nations, Winterbotham focused on Germany, visiting the country multiple times as a civilian Air Ministry official. His apparent sympathy for Nazi ideology allowed him to gather vital information on Germany’s rearmament plans, while building relationships with high-ranking Nazis.Winterbotham was welcomed by top Nazi officials, including Alfred Rosenberg, and even met Hitler, Hess, and Göring. During his visits, Winterbotham learned about Hitler’s plans to invade the Soviet Union and gained insights into Germany''s military preparations, including the emerging concept of blitzkrieg. Despite this critical intelligence, convincing British leaders to heed these warnings proved difficult. Winterbotham’s predictions were dismissed until Germany’s military aggression became undeniable.The Nazi Connection explores the complex web of espionage and deception surrounding Winterbotham’s mission. It questions how different the course of history might have been if Britain had acted on Winterbotham''s intelligence about Nazi Germany’s intentions. This story of missed opportunities and high-stakes intelligence offers a fascinating look into the prelude to World War II.
Nexus. Stručná historie informačních sítí od doby kamenné po AI
Jak vnímat roli dezinformací v dnešní společnosti? Proč knihtisk nepřinesl pouze to dobré? A zničí nás nakonec AI?
Za posledních 100 tisíc let jsme my, rod sapiens, nashromáždili obrovskou moc.
Ale i přes všechny naše objevy, vynálezy a druhovou dominanci se nyní nacházíme v existenční krizi; svět stojí na pokraji ekologického kolapsu. Dezinformace jsou všudypřítomné. A navíc míříme přímo do věku AI – nových informační sítí, které nás mohou zničit.
Proč jsme navzdory všem našim úspěchům tak sebedestruktivní?
Kniha Nexus ukazuje cestu lidstva do informačního věku a zkoumá, jak toky informací utvářely nás i náš svět – od doby kamenné přes kanonizaci Bible, hon na čarodějnice, stalinismus, nacismus až po dnešní nárůst populismu.
Legendární Yuval Noah Harari však v knize nenabízí pouhý výčet historických souvislostí, ale především vyzývá k zamyšlení nad složitým vztahem mezi informací a pravdou, byrokracií a mytologií, moudrostí a mocí.
Zkoumá, jak v průběhu historie různé společnosti a politické systémy využívaly informace k dosažení svých cílů a k upevnění pořádku, s ohledem na dobro i zlo. A řeší také naléhavé volby, kterým čelíme právě teď – v okamžiku, kdy má umělá existence poprvé potenciál skutečně ohrozit naši existenci.
Ponořte se i vy do knihy, v níž informace ani zdaleka nejsou jen nositelem objektivní pravdy, ale mohou být také nebezpečnou zbraní formující historii našeho druhu.
„Právě prožíváme největší informační revoluci v lidské historii. Abychom ji zvládli, musíme pochopit, co předcházelo.“

Unstressable
From the author of Scary Smart, Unstressable applies Mo Gawdat's brilliant engineering mind and Alice Law's stress-management expertise to the 'stress pandemic'.
This follow up to bestselling Solve For Happy will show you that chronic stress is not an unavoidable part of modern life, but a predictable – and therefore preventable – response, often as much to do with negative thought patterns as external circumstances. Mo explains how he made it through the most acutely stressful times in his own life, and the book touches on the idea of post-traumatic growth – both on a personal level and in response to huge events that affected all of us, such as the COVID pandemic and subsequent economic turmoil.
Practical exercises will help you build up the skills to manage stress no matter your circumstances, backed up by neuroscience and accessible psychology.
Listy sv. Faustíny
V ére virtuálnej komunikácie a umelej inteligencie predkladáme slovenskému čitateľovi obyčajné rukou písané listy.
V Jubilejnom roku 2025, ktorý je v našej kongregácii Rokom sv. Faustíny, nám toto útle dielko približuje atmosféru, v ktorej sestra Faustína realizovala svoje poslanie. Zároveň nám ukazuje jej osobnosť a duchovné dozrievanie, ktoré bolo spojené s vnútorným bojom, so znechutením, s unáhlenosťou a napätím, nepokojom i obavami. Postupne, krok za krokom a rok za rokom odhaľujeme jej rastúcu odhodlanosť, vernosť, vnútornú silu a hlboký pokoj plynúci z odovzdanosti do Božej vôle. A to až do takého stupňa, že nielen svojím slovom, ale predovšetkým hrdinským príkladom lásky povzbudzovala spolusestry, ba aj duchovného vodcu.
Veríme, že korešpondencia našej svätice svojím jednoduchým štýlom, pravdivosťou bez prikrášľovania a nepredstieranou srdečnosťou osloví aj náročnejšieho čitateľa.
Evolúcia vedomia – Ja
Predstavte si, že do rúk beriete knihu a namiesto bežnej obálky v nej uvidíte seba – doslova. Táto kniha nie je obyčajným príbehom, je príbehom každého človeka. Kniha ponúka prelomovú perspektívu na evolúciu ľudského vedomia. Pútavo a zrozumiteľne vysvetľuje vplyv rôznych emocionálnych stavov na náš každodenný život – od prvotných inštinktívnych reakcií cez komplexné sociálne a hierarchické emócie až po najvyššie stavy vedomia, ktoré boli dlho zahalené v hmle a mimo dosahu nášho porozumenia.
Rozvoj vedomia je pre väčšinu ľudí neznámy pojem. Mnohí si dokonca myslia, že snažiť sa o vysoký stav vedomia je vhodné iba pre ľudí, ktorí žijú v rozpore s moderným spôsobom života. Opak je pravdou. Neexistuje nič, čo by modernému človeku prinieslo viac benefitov ako zvýšenie úrovne vedomia. Ľudia zo všetkých spoločenských vrstiev, vrátane tých bohatých a navonok „úspešných“, ostávajú uväznení v nízkom stave vedomia, kde zažívajú nespokojnosť, frustráciu, neustále konflikty, zápasia s chorobami, prázdnotou a závislosťami. Ak je prevládajúci stav nášho vedomia nízky, zažívame viac negatívnych skúseností a udalostí, ktoré potom pôsobia ako séria nešťastných náhod. To, čo sa nám však v živote deje, nie je výsledkom náhod a nie je spôsobené vonkajšími udalosťami. Moderný výskum odhaľuje, že je to práve náš stav vedomia, ktorý ovplyvňuje všetko, čo v živote prežívame.
Táto kniha nie je povrchnou motivačnou publikáciou, ale výsledkom dôkladného skúmania vedomia, jeho mechanizmov a dosahu na život jednotlivca i spoločnosti, pričom sa opiera o najnovšie poznatky v oblasti neurovedy, evolučnej biológie, psychológie alebo systémovej teórie. Umožňuje čitateľovi pochopiť, ako sa môže oslobodiť od primitívnych mechanizmov, negatívnych emócií, ako prelomiť sebadeštruktívne vzorce správania či dokonca prekročiť hranice vlastnej mysle a dosiahnuť najvyšší stav vedomia.
Čo sa dozviete?
•Aký základný biologický mechanizmus skryto riadi naše životy?
•Prečo túžime po sláve, uznaní a materiálnom úspechu?
•Čo stojí za žiarlivosťou, závisťou a neustálym súperením?
•Kde sa formujú naše deštruktívne zlozvyky, ktoré nám ničia život?
•Ako prekonať inštinktívne mechanizmy, ktoré nás ťahajú späť k utrpeniu, konfliktom a nešťastiu?
•Aké emócie pribudli v evolučnom vývoji len nedávno a sú prístupné menej ako jednému percentu populácie?
•Ako je možné utíšiť vlastnú myseľ a dosiahnuť výnimočný, slovami neopísateľný vnútorný pokoj?
•Ako môže moderný človek prežívať vnútonú spokojnosť, mier, lásku a harmóniu bez toho, aby opustil realitu každodenného života?
•Ako pokročiť v evolučnom vývoji a dosiahnuť najvyšší stav vedomia, ktorý sa v histórii zvykol nazývať „prebudenie“ alebo „osvietenie“?
•Aký je ďalší krok v evolúcii ľudstva?
From Self-Care to We-Care
Learn to balance and blend self-care and care for others through we-care, a science-backed compassion training that enhances personal and social well-being, promotes healthy boundaries, and offers a path of healing and growth.Helping professionals and empaths commonly find themselves burning out, overextended in their care for others. Yet few people feel there?s too much compassion in our society, and an overly strong focus on self-care can lead to unskillfulness when faced with interpersonal challenges and a lack of responsiveness to systemic social issues. The emerging science and practice of we-care embraces and transcends the principles of self-care in order to emphasize the inherently social nature of care. From this perspective, care is not a zero-sum game that will inevitably lead to self-indulgence for some and burnout for others, but rather an inherently social force that drives mutually beneficial outcomes. Yet we-care is more than a concept?it is a practical framework and set of tools to offer a more expansive view of care. Compassion researcher and teacher Jordan Quaglia guides you through questions such as, ?Do you ever feel the urge to take away other people?s pain and discomfort, no matter the potential personal costs?? and ?Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pain and suffering of the world or by specific challenging situations?? to discover your care tendencies, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion for yourself, others, and the world. As you''re exposed to cutting-edge scientific research, practical insights, and personal stories, you?ll discover your own unique balance of self-care and care for others across diverse situations. On this meaningful journey, you can positively transform your health, relationships, work, and every facet of your life.
Rok na vsi aneb Kronika všedního dne Jakuba a Dorotky
Poprvé vyšla publikace Rok na vsi výtvarnice a spisovatelky Kamily Skopové v roce 2011. Od té doby se vedle nového vydání v roce 2025 tento malý pozdrav bratřím Mrštíkům dočkal i volného pokračování v podobě druhého dílu. I v této Kronice všedního dne Jakuba a Dorotky autorka navazuje na své předešlé publikace s národopisnou tematikou a prokazuje své umění její nenásilné popularizace. I nyní stylizuje knihu do podoby starobylých kalendářů, které bývaly oblíbenou četbou ve venkovských domácnostech.
Vyprávění dvou mladých lidí přibližuje přístupnou a čtivou formou všední i sváteční život na vesnici ve druhé polovině 19. století. Ve výpovědi běžných i neobvyklých událostí jednoho roku se tu střídají mládenec Jakub a jeho manželka a novopečená maminka Dorotka. Možná ale důležitější než všechny události běžného roku je podoba knížky, jež navazuje na starobylé kalendáře přinášející čtenářům kromě praktických údajů také vyprávění, pranostiky, říkadla a písničky, zajímavé recepty a nezaměnitelné obrázky.
Wahhabism
An essential history of Wahhabism from its founding to the Islamic StateIn the mid-eighteenth century, a controversial Islamic movement arose in the central Arabian region of Najd that forever changed the political landscape of the Arabian Peninsula and the history of Islamic thought. Its founder, M? mmad ibn ?Abd al-Wahhab, taught that most professed Muslims were polytheists due to their veneration of Islamic saints at tombs and gravesites. He preached that true Muslims, those who worship God alone, must show hatred and enmity toward these polytheists and fight them in jihad. Cole Bunzel tells the story of Wahhabism from its emergence in the 1740s to its taming and coopting by the modern Saudi state in the 1920s, and shows how its legacy endures in the ideologies of al-Q? da and the Islamic State. Drawing on a wealth of primary source materials, Bunzel traces the origins of Wahhabi doctrine to the religious thought of medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyya and examines its development through several generations of Wahhabi scholars. While widely seen as heretical and schismatic, the movement nonetheless flourished in central Arabia, spreading across the peninsula under the political authority of the Al S? d dynasty until the invading Egyptian army crushed it in 1818. The militant Wahhabi ethos, however, persisted well into the early twentieth century, when the Saudi kingdom used Wahhabism to bolster its legitimacy. This incisive history is the definitive account of a militant Islamic movement founded on enmity toward non-Wahhabi Muslims and that is still with us today in the violent doctrines of Sunni jihadis.
Moral Energy in America
How a distinctly American way of thinking about energy shaped US culture and society from the Progressive Era to the atomic bomb. In Moral Energy in America, Rebecca K. Wright offers an illuminating exploration of how the concept of energy shaped American thought, culture, and politics throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This essential history traces how politicians, sociologists, geographers, urban planners, economists, and intellectuals adopted the idea of energy to bolster their social programs and visions of the future through distinctive energy imaginaries. Energy was not a stable concept in the period, and it appealed to writers and advocates across the political and cultural spectrum. While medical practitioners and social workers interwove energy into discussions of race, immigration, youth, and crime, mainstream political campaigns appealed to the public by drawing energy into political rhetoric. Wright positions energy at the heart of key intellectual debates of the period, such as the Bourne-Dewey confrontation over America's role in World War I and the rise of technocratic ideas that envisioned energy as a new metric for societal progress. In a thirty-year era that shook the foundations of American democracy—a period punctuated by the Great Depression, the rise of communism and fascism abroad, two world wars, and the atomic bomb—energy became a key metaphor through which to understand major transformations in American society. Wright demonstrates how energy's many meanings transcended material and scientific definitions to influence everything from racial theories to economic policies, and ultimately played a pivotal role in molding the American moral landscape.
Somebody Told Me
Have you been keeping your eye on your grandma lately? Have you been calling her enough? You sure she’s not spending too much time on YouTube? Is she talking fondly of dictators? Has she suddenly started quietly muttering in the Aldi queue about the “Jewish Space Lasers” she’s heard are setting wildfires around the world to make sure everyone believes in climate change? When was the moment the world began to believe anything?
Danny Wallace, million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me, has fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation. Along the way, he encounters families torn apart by accusations and fake news, journalists putting themselves on the frontline of the disinformation war, reformed conspiracy theorists, influencers who see profit in stoking paranoia, and the shadowy nameless, faceless trolls on the other side of our screens. He discovers how disinformation and well-told lies can ruin a year or a whole life, how they can affect our family, our street, our community. How they can spread across a country, a continent, even the world. How they take hold of our imaginations and make us feel both helpless and powerful.
And Danny asks: can you do anything to stop it – even with the truth on your side?
The Revolutionary Temper - Paris, 1748-1789
When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. Most historians account for the French Revolution by viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology. Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided their actions.
To understand the rise of what he calls ‘the revolutionary temper’, Darnton draws on a lifetime’s study of pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike our own. Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royal’s Tree of Cracow, a favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of forty years – from disastrous treaties, official corruption and royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new conception of the nation – all entered the collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded, its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled.
Much of Robert Darnton’s work has explained the hidden dynamics of history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous decades afresh.

Drop Dead
Ford to City: Drop Dead'' is perhaps the most famous tabloid headline of all time. It set the narrative for the New York City Fiscal Crisis of 1975, even though it wasn''t exactly true. In truth, a bumbling President Gerald Ford had very little to do with causing the 1975 Fiscal Crisis, and ultimately, he bailed New York City out. There has never been a financial crisis where more mythmaking and misrepresentation have been uncritically accepted as truth by the media, historians, and politicians than the New York City Fiscal Crisis of 1975. Those portrayed as fiscal geniuses who ''saved the City'', in truth, performed badly. Those portrayed as villains were no worse than the so-called heroes. The real villains - those who benefited from the corrupt system of governance of America''s largest city - skated away and lived to grift again. Critically acclaimed author Richard Farley brings us back to the New York City of the 1970s, a wildly corrupt time when gangsters held court with governors, crooked judges fixed cases, and politicians of both parties helped themselves to the public''s money with the help of ''respectable'' bankers and lawyers... until the money ran out. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Drop Dead brings to life the colorful cast of characters who played a role in the crisis, from President Ford, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, Governor Hugh Carey, Mayor Abe Beame, and banker Felix Rohatyn. It also exposes the behind-the-scenes players who preferred to remain hidden, such as Donald Trump and his father, Fred Trump, and a quartet of lawyers who did their bidding - Roy Cohn, Bill Shea, Bunny Lindenbaum, and Simon Rifkind. City machine bosses Meade Esposito and Carmine DeSapio benefitted from the corrupt system along with union bosses Albert Shanker and Victor Gotbaum. And, at the top of the heap? Legendary public relations guru John Scanlon, the puppet master of spin, whose unmatched skill helped turn his grifter clients from villains to heroes. Only in New York, my friends. If you can make it there, you''ll make it anywhere. This is a critical analysis of a corrupt system of governance and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New York City, the politics of the 1970s, or the causes and consequences of financial crises. It is also a brilliantly researched cautionary tale told by an author and attorney who has spent his career studying the machinations of Wall Street and New York City politics. He reveals the untold story of the 1975 crash and knows, full well, that it might just happen again.

The Great Betrayal
How the Middle East can achieve political change and social progressThe Middle East is in upheaval: a widening chasm between state and society, the failure of governing elites to address citizens’ genuine grievances, massive economic mismanagement—all made worse by repeated interventions by Western powers. Why has political change been so difficult to achieve? In The Great Betrayal, Fawaz Gerges argues that the convergence of political authoritarianism, meddling by the West, and the effects of prolonged regional conflicts have produced political paralysis and economic stagnation. The agency of everyday people has been thwarted by an authoritarian status quo that is maintained by a powerful partnership of external and internal forces. Gerges traces more than a century of consequential events in the region, from the end of the Ottoman Empire and the European carve-up of the Middle East to the Iranian Revolution and the Arab Spring uprisings. He shows how the people of the Middle East have been systematically denied self-determination, political representation, and effective government. Gerges finds that the region, with its diversity, variability, and volatility, defies abstract grand theories; previous accounts that have attributed the Middle East’s problems to any one cause such as modernism, ignore the complexity and specificity of the issues. What can we learn from the Middle East’s vexed history? Gerges is optimistic, declaring that the region’s future will be determined not by dictators and their superpower patrons but by a growing population of Arab and Muslim youth who demand to be treated as citizens and not as subjects.

The Next Day
In a rare window into some of her life’s pivotal moments, Melinda French Gates draws from previously untold stories to offer a new perspective on encountering transitions.
Transitions are moments in which we step out of our familiar surroundings and into a new landscape – a space that, for many people, is shadowed by confusion, fear, and indecision. The Next Day accompanies readers as they cross that space, offering guidance on how to make the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning and how to move forward into the next day when the ground beneath you is shifting.
In this book, Melinda will reflect, for the first time in print, on some of the most significant transitions in her own life, including becoming a parent, the death of a dear friend, and her departure from the Gates Foundation. The stories she tells illuminate universal lessons about loosening the bonds of perfectionism, helping friends navigate times of crisis, embracing uncertainty, and more.
Each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are in life, is headed toward transitions of our own. With her signature warmth and grace, Melinda candidly shares stories of times when she was in need of wisdom and shines a path through the open space stretching out before us all.
