Urban Warfare in the Twenty-First Century
War is urbanising. From Mosul to Mumbai, Aleppo to Marawi, the largest and most intense battles of the twenty-first century have taken place in densely populated urban areas. In the Ukraine War, Russian and Ukrainian troops have converged on urban areas, Kyiv, Mariupol, and Bakhmut, to fight brutal attritional sieges. Meanwhile the Battle of Gaza rages. Through a close analysis of recent urban conflicts and their historical antecedents, sociologist Anthony King explores the changing typography of the urban battlescape. Whilst many tactics used in urban warfare are not new, he shows how operations in cities today have coalesced into localised micro-sieges, which extend from street level – and below – to the airspace high above the city, as combatants fight for individual buildings, streets and districts. At the same time, digitalized social media and information networks communicate these battles to global audiences across an urban archipelago, with these spectators often becoming active participants in the fight. Fully revised and updated to include detailed examples from Ukraine and Gaza to illustrate the anatomy of twenty-first century urban warfare, the second edition of this popular text is a timely reminder of the costs and the horror of war and violence in cities. As such, it offers an invaluable interdisciplinary introduction to urban warfare in the new millennium for students of international security, urban studies and military science, as well as military professionals.
Into The Whispering Wild
Sometimes when things should be straightforward, they're just not. When Hannah sets out to move house, the process falls apart repeatedly, facing her with a stark question what does she really want? The prospect of homelessness is a looming reality that brings a lifetime's worth of fears to the fore. Yet behind it all, is the constant, subtle sense of an indefinable 'something' important, lost but almost within reach. The wild world is whispering and asking What if there's a better way? Her conversation with the wild begins. With a young puppy and an inexplicable sense of hope and opportunity, she returns eventually to the one place to which she has always felt connected, the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Maybe the place will bring her home. The death of her mother adds further turmoil and grief. Seeking refuge in a caravan with her dog, she turns to the wild for clarity. There on the Lizard, on the South-West coast, in the magical landscape that called to her and spoke of home, she rediscovers the power of the wild and our ancient relationship with it. Hannah embarks upon an unexpected journey of reclaiming the inner self she had almost forgotten. Amid winter storms and soft sea mists, through every nuance of the seasons, she immerses herself in the wild and it shows the way back to an ancestral awareness of the inner nomad and settler within us all. Into the Whispering Wild is a true story, a raw but hopeful account of how our relationship with the wild is vital to our inner strength and ability to navigate life’s changes. Powerful yet gentle, this honest account of one woman’s journey into the meaning of home is a life-affirming tale of love, hope and determination. It urges us to rejoice in the healing power of our vital bond with the wild world.

Yale and Slavery
A comprehensive look at how slavery and resistance to it have shaped Yale University “The most mature examination ever made of the role of slavery in a university’s past.”—John Samuel Harpham, Times Literary Supplement Award-winning historian David W. Blight, with the Yale and Slavery Research Project, answers the call to investigate Yale University’s historical involvement with slavery, the slave trade, and abolition. This narrative history demonstrates the importance of slavery in the making of this renowned American institution of higher learning. Drawing on wide-ranging archival materials, Yale and Slavery extends from the century before the college’s founding in 1701 to the dedication of its Civil War memorial in 1915, while engaging with the legacies and remembrance of this complex story. The book brings into focus the enslaved and free Black people who have been part of Yale’s history from the beginning—but too often ignored in official accounts. These individuals and their descendants worked at Yale; petitioned and fought for freedom and dignity; built churches, schools, and antislavery organizations; and were among the first Black students to transform the university from the inside. Always alive to the surprises and ironies of the past, Yale and Slavery presents a richer and more complete history of Yale, the third-oldest college in the country, showing how pillars of American higher education, even in New England, emerged over time intertwined with the national and international history of racial slavery.
The Narrative Brain
An investigation of the emotional power of narrative that illuminates the relationship between the human brain and the stories we tell As humans, we think in stories—stories that allow us to feel and share emotions. In order for this phenomenon to work, our brains and the ways in which we tell stories must be attuned to each other. But how exactly does this happen? Tapping into the essence of thinking in stories, Fritz Breithaupt draws on the latest scientific research, including a retelling study (comparable to the telephone game) with more than 12,000 participants, and experiments in which ChatGPT functions as storyteller. This wide-ranging study includes analyses of political history, novels, fairy tales, and everyday office gossip; proposes a new theory of narrative that focuses on emotions and affects; and hypothesizes on the evolution of narratives among our hominid ancestors. Redefining us as beings who anchor ourselves in the world through narratives, Breithaupt introduces a new kind of psychology that cuts to the core of how and why humans feel the need to tell stories.
Globalizace u konce s dechem
Věci a děje nejsou věčné. Ani ty špatné a bohužel ani ty dobré. Pokud něco charakterizovalo třicet let od pádu Berlínské zdi až do příchodu pandemie Covidu-19, bylo to postupné otevírání se světa. Padaly hranice fyzické i ty neviditelné, omezující např. toky kapitálu či myšlenek. Větší a větší části planety se podílely na globální dělbě práce, ?rmy hledaly a nacházely místa pro efektivnější produkci a taktéž nové zákazníky a trhy všude na světě. Byla to zkrátka zlatá éra globalizace, ve své hloubce a rozsahu zatím nezaznamenaná v popsaných dějinách lidstva. Tato éra ale pomalu, drobnými krůčky a postupným utahováním šroubů končí. A to dříve, než si mnozí stačili povšimnout, jak byly ty tři dekády nesamozřejmé. Tato kniha je proto souborem textů, které spojuje hledání odpovědi na jedinou zneklidňující otázku: jak se již postupující deglobalizace projevuje a bude projevovat. A co tento celoplanetární obrat od otevřenosti k uzavřenosti může znamenat pro svět, Evropu a také pro Česko, které bylo jedním z mnoha vítězů oné globalizační zlaté éry.

Návrat dinosaurů
Před dvěma stoletími došlo k velmi významné události – tedy alespoň pro všechny, koho zajímá minulost naší planety a pozoruhodní tvorové, kteří byli v druhohorách jejími nezpochybnitelnými vládci. V roce 1824 britský paleontolog William Buckland určil a vědecky popsal podle nálezů fosilií první druh dinosaura a zahájil tím dlouhou a fascinující cestu výzkumu těchto dávno vyhynulých prehistorických živočichů.
Seznamte se tedy s omyly i úspěchy několika generací paleontologů, kterým se pomocí důvtipu, dobrodružného hledání fosilií a časem i nejnovějších technologií podařilo doslova vzkřísit dávno zaniklý svět. Ve všech směrech fundovaném průvodcem po dějinách dinosauřího bádání bude Vladimír Socha, přední český odborník na tuto problematiku: uvidíme, jak vědci od prvních náhodných nálezů dinosauřích kostí dospěli k dnešnímu pokročilému poznání, kdy dokážeme velmi přesně rekonstruovat, jak vypadali, jak žili, jak se rozmnožovali nebo jakými trpěli nemocemi. A rozhodně to nebude nuda – čekají vás příběhy plné originálních osobností, náročných výprav a překvapivých zvratů, doplněné řadou historických fotografií a ilustracemi Vladimíra Rimbaly, jednoho z pokračovatelů klasické české tradice paleoartu.
Kvůli čemu se vedly „války o kosti“? Proč v Praze nemáme kostru diplodoka? Dokázali teropodní dinosauři sprintovat? Kolik tun mohl teoreticky vážit největší dinosaurus? Který slavný paleontolog nasadil lebku na špatný konec kostry elasmosaura? Proč si někdo myslí, že lidé byli současníky dinosaurů? Co všechno nám přinesla „dinosauří renesance“? Podařilo se Němcům za první světové války ukořistit kostry iguanodonů? Dají se dinosauři využít v propagandě? Kolik stojí kompletní kostra tyranosaura? Byli dinosauři leniví a pomalí, nebo rychlí a akční?

All Things Are Too Small
'I loved her ruthless, impatient thinking, her ferocious attention' Adam Thirlwell, New Statesman Books of the Year 2025From one of the most talented young thinkers in the US, a warm, funny and intellectually dazzling call for excess, ecstasy and disorder in an age of sterility and minimalismTIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024NEW YORK TIMES' 100 MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024PROSPECT BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024'Scintillating writing of breadth and power' Observer'Seriously precise and very funny' Telegraph'A radical and important book' James WoodOur culture's embrace of minimalism and uniformity has left our souls impoverished. Decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; and the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism. In an age of oppressive sterility and limitation, All Things Are Too Small is a refreshing and much-needed tonic: a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.
The Cult of St Swithun
St Swithun was an obscure ninth-century bishop of Winchester about whom little was, and is, known. But following the translation of his relics from a conspicuous tomb into the Old Minster, Winchester, on 15 July 971, the massive rebuilding of the cathedral, and a vigorous publicity campaign by Bishop Aethelwold (963-84), St Swithun became one of the most popular and important English saints, whose cult was widespread not only in England but also in Ireland, Scandinavia, and France. The present volume includes new and full editions of all the relevant texts – hagiographical, liturgical, and historical – in Latin, Old English, and Middle English, many of which have never been published before: these illuminate the origins and development of St Swithun’s cult. No dossier of an important English saint has been published on this scale until now: the wealth of this volume sheds new light not only on St Swithun himself, but also on the times during which his cult was at the peak of its popularity.
Finding Happiness
The search for happiness is without a doubt one of our greatest preoccupations. In this volume of inspiring essays, letters and anecdotes, classic writers and philosophers from ancient times to the early twentieth century ask what it means to be happy. Whilst Epicurus sets out his principles for happiness, Ralph Waldo Emerson explains how friendship contributes to a happy state, and Jerome K. Jerome suggests with characteristic wit that we eat, drink and be merry. Rose Macaulay praises the joys of quiet hours reading in bed, and George Eliot suggests that with age and experience comes true happiness. More relevant than ever are Bertrand Russell’s exploration of technology interfering with emotion and Henry Van Dyke’s ode to finding our spiritual wealth. Combining self-help, erudition, and healing wisdom, this is a book to treasure and to guide you through life. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
Greek inscriptions
An accessible introduction that reveals the importance of Greek inscriptions in the understanding of ancient Greek culture. Inscriptions are an important form of evidence for our interpretation of past human societies. They are outstanding sources as they offer direct snapshots into the behaviour of humans and their aspiration to make a permanent and public record of themselves. Greek inscriptions in particular combine word and image in a multitude of ways, meaning they are rich in terms of the insights they offer into the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean and the mindsets of their peoples. They give us views of inter-state relations, historical narratives, the political administration of city-states and honorific culture; and at the same time offer perspectives on the significance of ideas about democracy, citizenship, gender, ethnicity, religion and the supernatural. This book, based on the collection of ancient Greek inscriptions on stone and metal held at the British Museum, constitutes an introduction to the study of ancient Greek inscriptions, their significance for our understanding of ancient Greek culture, their history and their reception in the modern world. It places emphasis on the texts of the inscriptions, their physical form, their importance in understanding the ancient Greek language and the modern history of their collection.
