Obrazy navzdory všemu
V srpnu 1944 se členům osvětimského Sonderkommanda podařilo tajně vyfotografovat proces vyhlazování, v jehož samém jádru byli uvězněni. Zanechali po sobě čtyři fotografie. Georges Didi-Huberman se ve své knize pokouší jednak vylíčit peripetie, kterými museli tajní fotografové projít, jednak vytvořit fenomenologii pořízených snímků a pochopit jejich nutnost, jež platí dnes stejně jako tehdy. Vychází přitom ze zkoumání podmínek, za nichž lze v oboru historie využívat vizuální prameny. Své úvahy pak završuje filozofickou kritikou myšlenky nepředstavitelnosti, s níž je šoa často spojováno. Pokouší se tedy vymezit, nakolik je zkušenost táborů navzdory všemu představitelná, a lépe tak pochopit hodnotu obrazů v dějinách.
Být na způsob těla
Kniha naplňuje badatelské desideratum týkající se Heideggerovy údajně nedostatečné tematizace problematiky těla a tělesnosti, jež mu bývala vyčítána hned od vydání spisu Bytí a čas. Heidegger se tělem nezabýval, protože jeho zájem náležel otázce bytí, nikoli jakémukoli privilegovanému jsoucnu. Tělo pro něj není filozoficky hodným „předmětem“ zkoumání už jen proto, že ho lze pouze popisovat, nikoli vysvětlovat, což znemožňuje seriózní snahu o vypracování něčeho jako „nauka“ o těle. Požadovat tudíž od Heideggera cosi jako „fenomenologii těla“ je nepochopení jeho myslitelského záměru. Za základ předloženého pokusu o rekonstrukci domnělého Heideggerova pojetí těla a tělesnosti slouží jednak dvě nietzschovské přednášky ze třicátých let 20. století, jednak dva z tzv. Zollikonských seminářů z roku 1965, které Heidegger vedl společně se švýcarským psychologem Medardem Bossem. Tělesnost se v nich ukazuje jako způsob lidského bytí ve sdíleném světě mající význam „projevovat gesta tvářnosti“. Z hlediska existenciální analytiky z knihy Bytí a čas by tedy tělo spadlo pod rubriku existenciálu „rozpoložení“.

Unbeknownst to many, mindfulness can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. Instructed to pay close, sustained attention to their inner-world, people struggling with trauma can experience flashbacks, dysregulation or dissociation. Here, trauma specialist David Treleaven builds on his pioneering work to offer a practical guide for integrating trauma-sensitivity into mindfulness practices.

This is an essential guide for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of trauma with mindfulness and to foster environments of healing, resilience and inclusivity.
Miracula
Both humorous and shocking, Miracula is filled with astonishing facts and stories drawn from ancient Greece and Rome that have rarely been retold in English. It explores ‘the incredible’ as presented by little-known classical writers like Callimachus and Phlegon of Tralles. However, it offers much more: familiar authors such as Herodotus and Cicero often couldn’t resist relating sensational, tabloid-worthy tales. The book also tackles ancient examples of topics still relevant today, such as racism, slavery and misogyny. The pieces are by turns absorbing, enchanting, curious, unbelievable, comical, astonishing, disturbing, and occasionally just plain daft. An entertaining and sometimes lurid collection, this book is perfect for all those fascinated by the stranger aspects of the classical world, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in classical history, society and culture.
German Rule, African Subjects
Although it lasted only thirty years, German colonial rule dramatically transformed South West Africa. The colonial government not only committed the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama, but in their efforts to establish a “model colony” and “racial state,” they brought about even more destructive and long-lasting consequences. In this now-classic study—available here for the first time in English—the author provides an indispensable account of Germany''s colonial utopia in what is present-day Namibia, showing how the highly rationalized planning of Wilhelmine authorities ultimately failed even as it added to the profound immiseration of the African population.
One in Six Million
Maria was eight months old in 1942 when a childless couple found her, wrapped in a blanket, at the side of a road near Krosno, Poland. A note pinned to the blanket stated only her first name and her date of birth. The couple picked up Maria and raised her, but she grew up longing for identity and connection. Who was she, and what had happened to her family? Years later, Maria’s story came to the attention of Stanley Diamond. Diamond was the founder of Jewish Records Indexing-Poland, one of the largest databases of Jewish vital records and a crucial tool in researching the stories of the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. In this engrossing story, Amy Fish shows how Diamond and an intrepid band of international volunteers compared photographs with genealogical records and smuggled DNA tests to provide Maria with family ties that she thought were lost to her forever. A tale of unexpected coincidences, astonishing revelations, and more than a little luck, One in Six Million is an amazing story of lost — and found — identity.

Szorgalom, becsvágy és karrier - A Habsburg Monarchia hivatalnoki kara a felvilágosult abszolutizmus időszakában
A monográfia a Habsburg Birodalom középszintű közigazgatási elitjének professzionalizálódásával foglalkozik a 18. század második felében. Előléptetési kérelmek, a káderkérdésekben hozott határozatokat rögzítő hivatali jegyzőkönyvek, magánlevelek és más források segítségével rekonstruálja a hivatalnoki karrierek legtipikusabb formáit, vizsgálja a horizontális és társadalmi mobilitás korlátait és lehetőségeit, a patrónus-kliens viszony szerepét, megrajzolja annak a soknemzetiségű és soknyelvű szakmai csoportnak a testületi portréját, amely biztosította a felvilágosult abszolutizmus reformjainak keresztülvitelét.
A hősnő útja - A női lélek kiteljesedése a mesék tükrében
Mit tanítanak a mesék a női lélekről, gyógyulásról és kiteljesedésről - ma, nekünk?
E hiánypótló kötet mély belső utazásra hív: a női lélek fejlődési útját járhatjuk be tizenhárom népmese hősnőivel együtt. A világ legkülönbözőbb tájairól származó történetek zöme először jelenik meg magyarul. Női főszereplőik változatos próbákon, veszteségeken és felismeréseken keresztül találnak rá önmagukra - és a belső szabadság lehetőségére.
A kötet különlegessége az interaktív módszertan, mely lehetővé teszi, hogy a mesék üzenete személyessé váljon és nehézségek idején kapaszkodót nyújtson. Az ajánlások eligazítanak abban, hogy milyen élethelyzetben érdemes az adott történetet elővenni. A Tükör fejezetek a mesék mélylélektani elemzését tartalmazzák, rávilágítva a bennük rejlő archetípusos mintázatokra, erőforrásokra és belső átalakulási folyamatra. Mindezeken felül önismereti kérdések és gyakorlatok segítik az olvasót saját útjának felfedezésében.
A népmesék időtlen pszichológiai mintázatokat hordoznak. Megmutatják, hogy bár a női életút koronként és kultúránként más-más formát ölthet, hasonló belső tapasztalatokon keresztül vezet. A hősnők alámerülnek belső világukba, szembenéznek a félelmeikkel, és rátalálnak azokra az erőforrásokra, amelyek segítik őket a gyógyulásban, saját teljességük megélésében.
Miután végigjárják a hősnő útját, magabiztosabbá válnak, szabadabbak lesznek, és végre nem félnek megmutatni a valódi önmagukat. Felfedezik azt a belső erőt, amely valódi változásokat indíthat el a külvilágban is.
A kötet a 16 éven felüli lányok és nők önismereti munkáját támogatja, de értékes segédeszköz lehet terapeuták, coachok, pedagógusok számára is, ha női kört vezetnek, illetve egyéni és csoportos foglalkozásokat tartanak. A férfi olvasóknak pedig bepillantást nyújt a nők belső világába.

The Triumph of Fear
A history with surprising new revelations about the depths of government surveillance and constitutional rights abusesIn the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, anarchist and socialist political movements spurred the expansion of nascent US federal surveillance capabilities. But it was the ensuing, decades-long persistent exaggerations of domestic political threats that drove an exponential increase in the size and scope of unlawful government surveillance and related political repression, which continue to the present. The Triumph of Fear is a history of the rise and expansion of surveillance-enabled political repression in the United States from the 1890s to 1961. Drawing on declassified government documents and other primary sources, many obtained via dozens of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits and analyzed for the first time, Eddington offers historians, legal scholars, and general readers surprising new revelations about the depths of government surveillance programs and how this domestic spying helped fuel federal assaults on free speech and association.
Putting Trauma to Sleep
Anyone who has suffered from trauma knows what it means to have sleepless nights. In fact, research has shown that at the heart of both trauma and sleep disorders is a dysregulated brainstem with heightened sympathetic nervous system activity. Yet, current trauma treatments largely ignore this profound interconnection between trauma and sleep. Putting Trauma to Sleep proposes that incorporating a therapeutic TABS model (traumatic events, attachment disturbances, bodily symptoms, sleep repair), therapists can better aid their clients in both healing from trauma and restoring sleep. With practical clinical approaches and illustrative case examples, sleep specialists Jaan Reitav and Celeste Thirlwell demonstrate how therapists and their clients can integrate sleep repair into trauma work by enhancing parasympathetic nervous system tone and actively attending to shock reactions in the body. Dysfunctional sleeping patterns have been ignored for too long within the psychotherapy sphere; this indispensable resource will transform readers’ understanding of both sleep and trauma therapy.
The First Russian Revolution
One of Financial Times’s Best Books of 2025: HistoryOn 14 December 1825 a group of young Russian army officers led 3,000 troops to Senate Square in St Petersburg, aiming to force the Senate to adopt a liberal constitution and transform the Russian Empire. The Decembrist Revolt – as it came to be known – was suppressed, with a second uprising in the south meeting the same fate. Five leaders were executed, and many others exiled to Siberia. Why did so many young noblemen risk their lives for regime change, what was their vision for an alternative society, and what were the consequences for participants and their families? This book highlights the often-neglected liberal tradition in Russian political thought and the experiences of Decembrist wives and fiancées, offering a fresh reinterpretation in the light of recent events in Russia.
The Age of Choice
Winner of the István Hont Book Prize, Institute of Intellectual HistoryFinalist for the Cundill History PrizeA New York Times Notable Book of the YearA sweeping history of the rise of personal choice in the modern world and how it became equated with freedomChoice touches virtually every aspect of our lives, from what to buy and where to live to whom to love, what profession to practice, and even what to believe. But the option to choose in such matters was not something we always possessed or even aspired to. At the same time, we have been warned by everybody from marketing gurus to psychologists about the negative consequences stemming from our current obsession with choice. It turns out that not only are we not very good at realizing our personal desires, we are also overwhelmed with too many possibilities and anxious about what best to select. There are social costs too. How did all this happen? The Age of Choice tells the long history of the invention of choice as the defining feature of modern freedom. Taking readers from the seventeenth century to today, Sophia Rosenfeld describes how the early modern world witnessed the simultaneous rise of shopping as an activity and religious freedom as a matter of being able to pick one’s convictions. Similarly, she traces the history of choice in romantic life, politics, and the ideals of human rights. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the lives of women, those often with the fewest choices, who have frequently been the drivers of this change. She concludes with an exploration of how reproductive rights have become a symbolic flashpoint in our contemporary struggles over the association of liberty with choice. Drawing on a wealth of sources ranging from novels and restaurant menus to the latest scientific findings about choice in psychology and economics, The Age of Choice urges us to rethink the meaning of choice and its promise and limitations in modern life.
Mythocracy
Mythocracy examines the narrative mechanisms that script our lives through the stories we tell one another. Digging beneath common anxieties about fake news, Yves Citton looks at the attention economy, which organises our political perceptions around affective attractors. These are much more powerful than the truth value of any given narrative. The time has come for the left to reclaim the power of myth from reactionary populism.
