Syria
A widely recognized expert on the unfolding crisis in Syria here melds reportage, analysis, and history in an accessible overview of events leading up to the toppling of the Assad regime and the fragile prospects for peace in its wake.How did the Syrian regime fall? Gradually, then all at once.In December 2024, the long and bloody stalemate in Syria broke down. In a transformation breathtaking for its suddenness and speed, President Bashar al-Assad, the beating heart of Arab authoritarianism, fled to Russia, his dungeons emptying as rebels overcame the Syrian army with scarcely a fight.Euphoria at the collapse of a government people never voted for was tempered by fear for the future. The victorious insurgents were supported by outside powers and had a track record of brutality comparable to Assad?s in addition to religious fanaticism. Syrians?whose fragile, cosmopolitan mosaic has been repeatedly shattered by foreign-backed sectarians?faced rule by an avowedly Islamist regime that pledged to break with its past and show tolerance to all religious communities.In this illuminating and concise survey, Charles Glass shows how Assad?s misrule, Sunni fundamentalism, and Western deceit combined to create and prolong the Syrian disaster, which since 2011 has claimed more than two hundred thousand lives and driven more than eight million people from their homes.Glass has reported extensively from the Middle East and travelled frequently in Syria for more than fifty years. Here he melds reportage, analysis, and history to provide an accessible overview of the origins and permutations defining the conflict, situating it clearly in the broader crises of the region.In this new and thoroughly revised edition of his earlier Syria Burning, Glass brings the story to the present, showing how we got here and what a post-Assad settlement might bring.

Tajný život Římanů
Římskou říši známe jako přehlídku slavných císařů a jejich vojenských triumfů, nepřehlédnutelných staveb či silnic, které až dodnes formují podobu mnoha částí evropského kontinentu a jeho okolí. Michael Sommer, přední znalec dějin starověkého Říma, poskytuje jiný pohled na dějiny slavné říše. Nahlíží takříkajíc klíčovou dírkou a ukazuje ty stránky života Římanů, které oni sami raději skrývali. Poutavou formou provází čtenáře kriminálním podsvětím římské společnosti, umožňuje nahlédnout do světa úkladných vražd, konzumace drog, korupce, intrik, bizarních náboženských kultů, ale i tajů sexuálního života ve starém Římě. Nezůstává přitom jen v samotném centru impéria, ale věnuje se i jeho periferiím. Svět ctnostných řečníků, důstojných matron a válečníků ověnčených vavříny se tak jeví bližší, uvěřitelnější. Věděli jste například, že císař a filosof Marcus Aurelius byl konzumentem opia?

The Franklin Stove
"From Joyce Chaplin''s engaging, wide-ranging pages a fresh Franklin emerges." ?Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of The Revolutionary"[Chaplin''s] expansive claims for the Franklin stove?s importance click into place." ?Dan Piepenbring, Harper''s"A fascinating, innovative, inventive look at a fascinating, innovative man and his inventions." ?Charles C. Mann, bestselling author of The Wizard and the Prophet and 1491The surprising story of Benjamin Franklin?s most famous invention?and a new take on the Founding Father we thought we knew. The biggest revolution in Benjamin Franklin?s lifetime was made to fit in a fireplace. Assembled from iron plates like a piece of flatpack furniture, the Franklin stove became one of the era''s most iconic consumer products, spreading from Pennsylvania to England, Italy, and beyond. It was more than just a material object, however?it was also a hypothesis. Franklin was proposing that, armed with science, he could invent his way out of a climate crisis: a period of global cooling known as the Little Ice Age, when unusually bitter winters sometimes brought life to a standstill. He believed that his stove could provide snug indoor comfort despite another, related crisis: a shortage of wood caused by widespread deforestation. And he conceived of his invention as equal parts appliance and scientific instrument?a device that, by modifying how heat and air moved through indoor spaces, might reveal the workings of the atmosphere outside and explain why it seemed to be changing. With his stove, Franklin became America?s first climate scientist.Joyce E. Chaplin?s The Franklin Stove is the story of this singular invention, and a revelatory new look at the Founding Father we thought we knew. We follow Franklin as he promotes his stove in Britain and France, while corresponding with the various experimenters who discovered the key gases in Earth''s atmosphere, invented steam engines, and tried to clean up sooty urban air. During his travels back and forth across the Atlantic, we witness him taking measurements of the gulf stream and observing the cooling effect of volcanic ash from Iceland. And back in Philadelphia, we watch him hawk his invention while sparring with proponents of the popular theory that clearcutting forests would lead to warmer winters by reducing the amount of shade cover on the surface of the Earth. As the story of the Franklin stove shows, it?s not so easy to engineer our way out of a climate crisis; with this book, Chaplin reveals how that challenge is as old as the United States itself.

The Ride
Timed for the 250th anniversary of one of America?s most famous founding events: Paul Revere?s heroic ride, newly told with fresh research into little-known aspects of the story Americans have heard since childhood but hardly understoodOn April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt.Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides across New England and other colonies, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come?as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war?became one of our founding legends.In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere?s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed?a loosely coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America?s independence.Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers.

White City, Black City
'Gripping' - Economist'A fascinating exposé' - Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks'Path-breaking and brilliant' - Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture and author of Hollow LandTel Aviv, the Zionist project's 'White City', is said to have risen from the sands of the desert. Acclaimed worldwide for its architectural heritage and gleaming Bauhaus-inspired Modernism, it is ostensibly designed to be a safe home for the Jewish people. However, the reality of the city's establishment was very different. Hidden below its foundations are the remains of Jaffa – the 'Black City', a Palestinian city that was obliterated to make way for European-style architecture at the heart of a newly-formed Israel. Both a gripping narrative and a unique architectural record, White City, Black City shows that cities are made not only of stones and concrete but also of stories and histories – victors and losers, predator and prey. This new edition contains a postscript reflecting on the destruction of the Gaza Strip.

Comparative Foreign Policy
?Fills a void in the comparative study offoreign policy?. Jesse?s book systematically analyzes thediffering foreign policies of states, allowing [students] to assess thepractical decisions made by states and their foreign policy decisionmakers??Timothy J. White, Xavier University"Neal Jesse''s book stands out within the study of comparative foreign policy, providing an ''outside in'' rather than ''inside out'' take on how states formulate and pursue their foreign policy objectives. Jesse places a premium on the rank hierarchy of states as a conditioning factor that shapes not only behaviors but also interests. The result is a rich depiction of how the prevailing global order affects the conduct of foreign policy across a cross-section of states." ?Michael Butler, Clark UniversityClearly written, authoritative, pedagogically sound ... This new text effectively links cases and theory to provide students with a thorough understanding of the ways that foreign policy is crafted and carried out in diverse countries around the world.

Beyond the Final Whistle
'A profound reminder that football is far more than a sport; it's a canvas for building a fairer and more compassionate world' - Kelly Davies, former Wales international football playerBeyond the Final Whistle explores a new philosophy of football, showing how sport could lead to social change instead of propping up a hyper-consumerist society.

From the dribbles of a young Zapatista, to the many goals of Leo Messi, he imagines what football would look like in a post-capitalist world. How does football affect global inequality and the climate crisis? How does it teach our children empathy?

With humour and insight, Beyond the Final Whistle is a love letter to football and revolution.
Co je to jazyk? - Studie z filozofie lingvistiky
Lingvistika se často snaží prezentovat jako přírodní věda. Tvrdí se, že uživatelé jazyka jsou řízeni slepým jazykovým instinktem, a předpokládá se, že jejich jazykové chování lze popsat čistě ve fyziologicko-biologických termínech. Esa Itkonen ve své knize ukazuje, že tato představa je zásadně mylná, a přichází s pozoruhodně komplexním a přesvědčivým vysvětlením toho, jak jazyk existuje a funguje. Jeho argumentace je založena na tom, že jazyk je souborem milionů tzv. sdílených, tříúrovňových znalostí existujících tzv. v intersubjektivitě myslí jeho uživatelů – a že kvůli tomu má inherentně normativní charakter. Tato originální konceptualizace jazyka pak autorovi v 28 krátkých kapitolách a 6 apendixech umožňuje přesvědčivě vysvětlit a usouvztažnit řadu nesnadných teoretických i praktických otázek, které jsou aktuální i v současném českém myšlení o jazyce a v české jazykové situaci – například že „to, co má být, nelze odvozovat z toho, co je“ (normativita), ale že „to, co je, může mít vliv na to, co má být“ (jazyková změna) nebo že „my nemáme jazyk, ale jazyk má nás“ (jazyková správnost).
SPQR Dějiny antického Říma
Starověký Řím má svůj význam. I dnes posuzujeme sami sebe na pozadí dějin této říše, jejích vojenských úspěchů i různých výstřelků a tehdejší debaty o občanství, terorismu a právech jedince ovlivňují to, jak uvažujeme o občanských svobodách.
SPQR pokrývá tisíc let římské historie a s barvitými detaily odhaluje, jak Řím vyrostl z bezvýznamné osady ve střední Itálii v první globální supervelmoc. Kromě toho vrhá nové světlo na římskou kulturu, od rozvodu vody po demokracii a od otroctví po migraci. Mary Beardová nám objasňuje, jak na sebe a na své úspěchy nahlíželi samotní Římané.

The Non-Aligned World
Non-Alignment is back with a vengeance. In recent years, the number of countries embracing this venerable approach to foreign policy has increased exponentially, making it a force to be reckoned with in world affairs. The war in Ukraine, the expansion of the BRICS group, and the conflict in Gaza have given a special impetus to its rise in a new form: Active Non-Alignment (ANA). This has gone hand-in-hand with the growing power and influence of the Global South in world politics. In this agenda-setting book, Jorge Heine, Carlos Fortin and Carlos Ominami, explain the origins, dynamics and significance of ANA, for the future of world order. Far from a transitory expression of the current state of affairs, they argue that ANA is here to stay. It provides a powerful guide to action and a fine-tuned compass for the Global Majority, that is, the countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to strike out and prioritize their national interests, whilst navigating the perilous waters of a troubled world in the throes of change.
The Case That Shook the Empire
30 April 1924. At the Court of the King’s Bench in London, the highest court in the Empire, an English judge and jury heard the case that would change the course of India’s history: Sir Michael O’Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab – and architect of the infamous Jallianwala Bagh massacre – had filed a defamation case against Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair for having published a book in which he referred to the atrocities committed by the Raj in Punjab.
The widely-reported trial – one of the longest in history – stunned a world that finally recognized some of the horrors being committed by the British in India.
Through reports of court proceedings along with a nuanced portrait of a complicated nationalist who believed in his principles above all else, The Case That Shook the Empire reveals, for the very first time, the real details of the fateful case that marked the defining moment in India’s struggle for Independence.
Discipleship: Walk This Way
How does it feel to grow and live as an everyday Christian disciple?Discipleship: Walk This Way is the second of two books which inform individuals or groups in being Christian disciples, with a distinctive emphasis on the difference discipleship makes in our everyday experience of life. It is a resource for the new Christian who is asking, ‘What now?’ or the long-term Christian who is wondering, ‘So what?’ Through personal stories and accessible teaching it unpacks the lifestyle of being with God, the meaning of Christian character and how it grows, and the aim of a disciple in all of life. Walk This Way resources the reader for continuous life-long discipleship.
