Japán legrövidebb története
Japán, amely nyakékként húzódik végig az ázsiai kontinens partjainál, jóval messzebb fekszik Ázsiától, mint Nagy-Britannia Európától. A tenger évszázadokon át természetes akadályként védte a szigetországot a behatolóktól, és lehetővé tette, hogy a helyi kultúra egészen egyedi irányokban fejlődhessen. Az Edo-korban a Tokugava-sógunátus sikeresen lezárta az országot a Nyugat előtt, Japán később azonban változtatott ezen, és rövid idő alatt igyekezett befogadni a nyugati kultúrát. Mindkét magatartás ugyanazt a célt, a gyarmatosítás elkerülését, illetve a hagyományos életmód megőrzését szolgálta.
Zen, haiku, harcművészetek, szusi, anime, manga, filmművészet, videójátékok... A japán kultúra rengeteg vívmánnyal gazdagítja a nyugati világot. Ennek ellenére Nyugatról szemlélve Japán továbbra is távoli szigetnek tűnhet, amelynek mindig ellentmondásos volt a kapcsolata a külvilággal.
Lesley Downer a téma szakavatott ismerőjeként és remek tollú történetmesélőként mutatja be a japán történelem fordulópontjait és az azokat meghatározó rendkívüli személyiségeket - a napistennőtől származó császárokat, valamint a hadurakat, szamurájokat, kereskedőket, udvarhölgyeket, női harcosokat, gésákat és üzletembereket -, akik a maguk módján valamennyien hozzájárultak e páratlan társadalom formálódásához.
Butler's Lives of the Saints
Spanning centuries and continents, this timeless chronicle of Christian sainthood details the lives of martyrs and virgins, scholars and soldiers, bishops and priests, and Christians of all sorts. Regarded as an enduring classic of spiritual devotion, offering prayer intercession from Heaven and guiding us by example, Butler?s provides inspirational narratives, often accompanied by reflection and prayers. Organized by day, this book aligns with the calendar months, providing entries on saints whose feast days fall within those months. As both a spiritual tool and a repository of historical fact, Butler?s captures the essence of saints? lives, miracles, martyrdom, and lasting influence. Its profound yet accessible prose is a journey through history, theology, and spirituality, guiding readers toward a deeper understanding of their own faith. Includes cross-indexing for easy reference and a new foreword by leading theologian and bestselling author Rev. James Martin, SJ.
The Rich and the Poor
The Rich and the Poor is part chronicle, part analysis of a disturbing sea-change: the abandonment of ethics in public policy. Seventy years ago, it was possible for serious thinkers, including some in the governments of affluent nations, to consider policies for raising living standards worldwide. Today, by contrast, the principal policy questions revolve around how to stay on top in a dog-eat-dog world. Philip Kitcher, one of the world’s most eminent philosophers, offers a new account of how ethics and politics should mix. The world needs to explore and reprioritize ethical questions, through inclusive deliberation that is both factually informed and mutually engaged with other perspectives. Achieving that end is hard, but without aspiring to it, we are likely to condemn our successors to lives of great hardship. Climate change demands global cooperation of a kind that can only be obtained by returning to ethical inquiry. The divorce between ethics and economics threatens disaster for all.
Sand, Snow, and Stardust
A vivid tour of US military efforts to understand, survive, and command harsh environments worldwide—and beyond. Deserts, the Arctic, outer space—these extreme environments are often seen as inhospitable places at the edges of our maps. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, spurred by the diverse and unfamiliar regions the US military had navigated during World War II, the United States defense establishment took a keen interest in these places, dispatching troops to the Aleutian Islands, North Africa, the South Pacific, and beyond. To preserve the country’s status as a superpower after the war, to pave runways and build bridges, engineers had to understand and then conquer dunes, permafrost, and even the surface of the moon. Sand, Snow, and Stardust explores how the US military generated a new understanding of these environments and attempted to master them, intending to cement America’s planetary power. Operating in these regions depended as much on scientific and cultural knowledge as on military expertise and technology. From General George S. Patton learning the hard way that the desert is not always hot, to the challenges of constructing a scientific research base under the Arctic ice, to the sheer implausibility of modeling Martian environments on Earth, Gretchen Heefner takes us on a wry expedition into the extremes and introduces us to the people who have shaped our insight into these extraordinary environments. Even decades after the first manned space flight, plans for human space exploration and extraplanetary colonization are still based on what we know about stark habitats on Earth. An entertaining survey of the relationship between environmental history and military might, Sand, Snow, and Stardust also serves as a warning about the further transformation of the planet—whether through desertification, melting ice caps, or attempts to escape it entirely.
Russia's Gamble
In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military assault on Ukraine, aimed at re-establishing Russian control over the Ukrainian state, economy and society, similar in many ways to the Soviet period. This goal, however, was not achieved, and most likely will not be achieved in the future. Rather, the Russian “special military operation” has resulted in extraordinary disasters and losses for Russia, for Ukraine, and for the entire world. This book examines the origins of the Russian assault on Ukraine and offers an explanation of why it has not achieved its aims. Why did Russian elites and leaders propose, prepare for and implement the assault on Ukraine in such a poorly prepared and heavily destructive way? In seeking to answer these questions, Gel’man focuses on Russia’s domestic agenda and its dynamics after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The personalist nature of the Russian authoritarian political regime, its vulnerability to bad governance, major misperceptions by the Russian elites and leadership, and reliance of the Kremlin upon previous experience of Russian impunity were all key factors that led to Russia’s fateful decision to attack Ukraine and have continued to shape Russia’s mistake-ridden conduct of the war since then. Gel’man also considers what lessons can be learned from Russia’s military assault for understanding the global agenda and for the study of domestic and international politics in the twenty-first century. This book, written by a leading expert on Russian politics, will be of great value to students and scholars in politics and to anyone interested in Russia and in the causes and consequences of the war against Ukraine.
Porážka Západu. Krize ekonomiky, kultury a náboženství
S blížícím se koncem války na Ukrajině se rozpadá pletivo lží, jímž celý konflikt obepletly vlády států politického Západu, jejich média a jejich analytici. S odchodem Bidenovy administrativy, která se o vyprovokování konfliktu zasloužila více než kdokoliv jiný, se od jejího čelného představitele dozvídáme, že navzdory tomu, co tvrdila celá léta oficiální propaganda, Spojené státy ve skutečnosti nepředpokládaly, že by Ukrajina mohla zvítězit, ale že válka sloužila oslabování Ruska. Spočítali si tito stratégové, co po takovém oslabování Ruska z Ukrajiny zůstane? Buď představitel mluví pravdu, čímž se přiznává ke zločinnému cynismu, nebo lže, aby zakryl iluze, s nimiž byla tato válka rozpoutána... Záslužnou práci při rozboru západní propagandy odvedli realističtí analytici mezinárodních vztahů... Realisté nám sice umožňují pochopit ruské jednání, ale nedávají žádnou uspokojivou odpověď ohledně motivů druhé strany. Proč se politický Západ a jeho ukrajinští chráněnci vůbec do něčeho takového pustili? Proč byli ochotni ve válce pokračovat i za cenu zničení země, o níž tvrdili, že ji chrání? Při racionálním pohledu na mezinárodní politiku není záhadou jednání ruské, nýbrž západní. Realisté se nemýlí, když ve snaze o vysvětlení odkáží na sebeklam, který si Západ vytvořil o světě a své roli v něm. Nicméně takové vysvětlení postrádá hloubku, neboť nutně vede k otázce, co se to tedy se Západem děje. Jak je možné, že země, které se oprávněně považují za kolébku vědy, racionality a efektivnosti a které ovládly svět a staly se vzorem ostatním, se ve 21. století propadají do zničujícího sebeklamu?

Berlin
A 20. században Berlin egy megrengetett világ középpontja volt. Felváltva csábította és borzasztotta a nemzetközi képzeletet. A város lényegét extrém kettőssége adta: ragyogó sugárutak és lármás bérházak; a nehézipar sötét, füstös fellegvárai és a környező pompás vizek és erdők; az örömteli pánszexuális kabarék mellett az opera merev méltósága; a dadaista művészek színes túlkapásai... majd a horogkeresztes tömegfelvonulások zord egyformasága. Annak, aki 1900 körül született, és még megérte az 1960-70-es éveket, az élet a forradalmak, véres harcok véget nem érő sorozata volt; a zűrzavar és a bizonytalanság örvénye. Ez az időszak magában foglalta az első világháborút, a modern ipar szédítő rohamát és az azt tükröző, dacosan forradalmi építészetet; a letaglózó nyomort és éhezést hozó gazdasági mélyrepüléseket; a náci felsőbbrendűséget, a népirtás pszichózisát; majd a háború poklát a Berlinre és népére zúduló szovjet pusztítással és megtorlással; s végül a halálos berlini fallal a város szívét kettészakító, egymással versengő ideológiákat. És volt valami, ami nagyobb szenvedést okozott a bombáknál, a felismerhetetlenné roncsolt temetetlen holttesteknél, rombolóbb az öngyilkossági járványnál és súlyosabb a tömeges nemi erőszaknál is: az igazi trauma az volt, hogy a külvilág megértéssel viseltetett e kegyetlenségek iránt, mert a náci vezetés Európa-szerte millióknak okozott gyötrelmet és osztott halált. Az átélt rémálom, Berlin népének vezeklő hallgatása hosszú árnyékot vetett a város jövőjére.
"Minden városnak van történelme", terjedt el a mondás, "de Berliné már túlzás".
Sinclair McKay (1956) napilapok rovatírója, az elemző történetek mestere, emellett nagy sikerű történelmi tárgyú könyvek szerzője.
Moral Ambition
Every day we're bombarded with methods, mantras and life hacks that promise us wellness and prosperity - while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in, day out?
What if you want to do something more with your limited time on the planet?
Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition - the will to make the world a wildly better place - we can be both idealistic and successful, and change the world along the way. Uncovering the qualities that made the great change-makers of history so effective, he shows how we too can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself.
This book won't make your life easier, but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

Environmental Ethics of War
War is bad for nature, yet relatively little attention has been devoted to environmental military ethics by just war theorists and philosophers of war. Most wars since 1945 have been civil conflicts, often in areas containing the greatest biodiversity. Combining environmental ethics with ethics of war, this Element examines how the environmental crisis should challenge and change the rules of war. While environmental wartime regulation has been addressed rarely by just war theorists, environmental jus ad bellum has hardly been tackled at all. Can environmental harm trigger a new justification for war? Can targeting nature constitute terrorism? And what would be a proportionate response to ''environmental aggression''? With global degradation and climate change right around the corner, this Element discusses some of the most pressing practical ethics issues of our times, suggesting that grave environmental transgressions should be combatted by measures that do not themselves cause disproportionate harm to nature.
The Illusionist
Cairo, 1942: If you had asked a British officer who Colonel Clarke was, they would have been able to point him out: always ready with a drink and a story, he was a well-known figure in the local bars. If you then asked what he did, you would have less success. Those who knew didn''t tell, and almost no one really knew at all.Clarke thought of himself as developing a new kind of weapon. Its components? Rumour, stagecraft, a sense of fun. Its target? The mind of Erwin Rommel, Hitler''s greatest general. Throughout history, military commanders have sought to mislead their opponents. Dudley Clarke set out to do it on a scale no one had imagined before. Even afterwards, almost no one understood the magnitude of his achievement. Drawing on recently released documents and hugely expanding on the louche portrait of Clarke as seen in SAS: Rogue Heroes, journalist and historian Robert Hutton reveals the amazing story of Clarke''s A Force, the invention of the SAS and the Commandos, and the masterful hoodwinking of the Desert Fox at the battle of El Alamein. The Illusionist tells for the first time the dazzling tale of how, at a pivotal moment in the war, British eccentricity and imagination combined to thwart the Nazis and save innumerable lives - on both sides.
The Second World War
''Simply the ultimate Second World War history''- SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE, DAILY TELEGRAPHA CONFLICT LIKE NO OTHER, it has come to define the very idea of war itself. Great power rivalry prepared the ground, yet so did bitter ethnic disputes following the collapse of four empires, as did the ideological clash between Fascism and Communism. More than any other, the Second World War was dominated, in the age of totalitarianism, by leaders who determined the course of events in a way we have not seen since then - and thought we would never see again.Using the most up-to-date scholarship and research, Antony Beevor assembles the whole picture in a gripping narrative that extends from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific and from the snowbound steppe to the North African Desert. Despite the titanic scale of his canvas, he never loses sight of the fates of the ordinary men and women whose lives were scattered by inexorable forces.Revised and with a new foreword to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this is the unrivalled single-volume history of the greatest conflict the world has ever known, by our foremost historian of war.
1945
1945 is a fresh look at the final year of the Second World War. Evoking the disorienting strangeness of the end and aftermath of war, it narrates the lives of fifty protagonists caught in the ruins of warfare. From world leaders, artists, writers and musicians to housewives, servicemen and -women, concentration camp victims and children, Max Likin traces their stories through a momentous twelve months.Fast-moving and dynamic, 1945 is a powerfully evocative and often surprising narrative, showing how chance and fortune impacted different people at different times. This is a must-read for anyone with an interest in history or military history, and will astonish many with its fascinating juxtapositions of places and people.
A History of Britain in Ten Enemies
A ridiculously funny history of Britain for adults from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories, perfect for fans of Unruly by David Mitchell.''Ram-packed with mind-blowing facts, hilarious characters, and little-known tales'' Dan Schreiber''If you could take just one history book to a desert island, this would be it. Laugh out loud funny... Pure joy'' Conn IgguldenAh, Britain. So special. The greatest nation on earth, some say. And we did it all on our own. Didn’t we?As it happens Britannia got its name from the Romans, and for the past two centuries we have been ruled by Germans. As Horrible Histories author Terry Deary argues, nations and their leaders are defined by the enemies they make.- Elizabeth I would count as a minor royal without the Spanish Armada- Without the Nazis, Churchill would be remembered as an opposition windbag- The surprisingly sadistic Boudica would be forgotten if it weren''t for the Roman Ninth LegionAnd after all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit (although in an ideal world, we wouldn’t have accidentally let Corporal Hitler go in the first place).The British have a proud history of choosing their enemies, from the Romans to the Germans. You might even say those enemies made Britain what it is today...A History of Britain in Ten Enemies is a witty, whistlestop tour of British history that will have you laughing as you find out what they didn''t teach you in school.''Playful, cheeky, and very clever, this is a book for anyone who ever wished there was a Horrible Histories for grown-ups'' Kate ListerTerry Deary, UK''s bestselling Children''s & Young Adult Non-Fiction author since records began, Nielsen, September 2024. A History of Britain in Ten Enemies was an instant Sunday Times bestseller on release, 10 October 2024.
Wagner Group Private Military Company Volume 2
Examines the predecessors to the Wagner Group, its activities in a number of conflicts around the world, and its armed mutiny against the top leadership of the Russian Federation.The Wagner Group is symbolic of Russia?s deployment of private military companies (PMCs) to exercise influence in Africa, the Middle East and Europe since the mid-2010s. Nominally an independent commercial enterprise, but actually operating on behalf of the Russian government, and in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defence and its Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), and the Federal Security Service (FSB), it has been deployed to perform a very wide range of military and paramilitary tasks, provide security, and collect intelligence. Through much of its existence, the activity of the Wagner Group appears to have been clandestine and poorly recorded. In practice, the operating principles of this PMC have been very similar to those of numerous similar enterprises from the West. Since its failed coup attempt in the summer of 2023, the fate of the Wagner Group appears to be sealed. Indeed, presently, it is highly unlikely that a Russian PMC might ever again have the same power and influence that Wagner once wielded. However, this does not mean that such all such enterprises have been completely disbanded: only that the Wagner Group has not (yet) been replaced by some other enterprise ? whether Russian or foreign. In fact, we are witnessing a recurrent trend that is likely to become even more characteristic for conflicts in the coming decades as almost everybody who can afford to pay for the services of a PMC is hiring them. Indeed, numerous governments in control of relatively weak or disloyal armed forces have concluded that the deployment of a PMC holds significant advantages. This two-part works examines the predecessors to the Wagner Group, and the establishment of the latter organisation by Yevgeny Prigozhin, its activities in a number of conflicts around the world, and its armed mutiny against the top leadership of the Russian Federation. It is thoroughly illustrated with authentic photographs and custom commissioned color illustrations and maps.
