States of Injury
A landmark work from one of our leading political theoristsA sympathetic critique that attempts to free Left politics from its own snares, States of Injury explores how woundedness became a basis for contemporary political identity. Without condemning identity politics, Wendy Brown carefully probes the varied historical forces generating them today and the ways these formative conditions constrain emancipatory desire. Along the way, she advances a novel feminist critical theory of liberalism and the liberal democratic state. She also develops an original theoretical practice that weaves together Nietzsche, Marx, Weber, Foucault, and cultural theories of gender and race to analyze contemporary political predicaments. In a new preface, Brown places States of Injury in political and intellectual context, including the rise of neoliberalism, and addresses the book’s renewed relevance in today’s political landscape.
Presence
A psychologist sets out to understand the uncanny phenomenon of felt presence. We all know the feeling: you’re alone but it’s like there’s someone there with you – a mysterious presence lurking just out of sight. Throughout history this experience has been the subject of religious and supernatural speculation.
But does science have the answer?In Presence, psychologist Ben Alderson-Day digs into historical accounts and contemporary cases of ‘felt presence’, hunting for the key to unlock this strange phenomenon. He interviews ultrarunners and ocean rowers, who often report the sensation of being accompanied on their journeys, and examines the latest work on sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson’s, conditions closely associated with feeling the presence of someone or something that isn’t there. His findings, built on cutting-edge research from psychology and neuroscience, provide remarkable new insights into this longstanding mystery of the human mind.
Ordinary Magic
''By one of the great psychologists of our time, a book that shows us how we can answer the universal questions that define our lives: Can I succeed? Do I belong? Am I loved?'' Carol S. Dweck, bestselling author of MindsetDiscover simple psychological shifts that build trust, belonging, and confidence--from the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab at Stanford UniversityThe emotional questions we face can define our lives. If you''re expecting an interaction to go wrong, that expectation can make it so. That''s spiralling down. But as esteemed Stanford psychologist Greg Walton shows, when we see these questions clearly, we can answer them well. Known to social psychologists as wise interventions, these shifts in perspective can help us chart new trajectories for our lives. They help us spiral up.This is ordinary magic: The everyday experiences that help us set aside the ordinary worries of life to unleash extraordinary change.Through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis of fascinating research Dr. Walton pulls back the curtain to reveal the magic at work:- With our children: The few choice words from a parent or a teacher that builds trust and achievement.- In our relationships: How the right opportunity to reflect, for just a few minutes before a conflict conversation, can engender greater intimacy among couples--even a year later.- In school: How learning that everyone feels as out of place at first as you do at a new school--they really do--can unleash extraordinary potential, improving your life a decade later.- In our policy: how a one-page letter reduced recidivism among kids returning to school from juvenile detention by 40 percentage points; a postcard campaign cut suicide rates in half.It''s easy to think problems are out of our control. But in fact, we have vast opportunities for change. Ordinary Magic puts the tools for change at your fingertips.
Martyrs and Migrants
How Coptic Christian migrants reshape religious identity through the imagination of US empire Coptic Orthodox Christians comprise the largest Christian community in the Middle East and are among the oldest Christian communities in the world. While once the objects of American missionary efforts, in recent years Copts have been in the spotlight for their Christianity. A spate of ISIS-related bombings and attacks have garnered worldwide attention, leading to a series of efforts from US politicians, think tanks, and NGOs to re-channel their efforts into "saving" these Middle Eastern Christians from Muslims. The increased targeting of Copts has also contributed to the moral imaginary of the "Persecuted Church," particularly among American evangelicals, which embraces the idea that Christians around the globe are currently being persecuted more than any other time in history. Drawing on years of extensive fieldwork among Coptic migrants between Egypt and the United States, Martyrs and Migrants examines how American religious imaginaries of global Christian persecution have remapped Coptic collective memory of martyrdom. Transnational Copts have navigated the sociopolitical conditions in Egypt and the global consequences of the US "war on terror" by translating their suffering into the ambiguous forms of religious and political visibility. Candace Lukasik argues that the commingling of American conservatives and Copts has shaped a new kind of Christian kinship in blood, operating through a double movement between glorification and racialization. Occupying a position between threat and victim, Copts from the Middle East have been subject to anti-terror surveillance in the US even as they have leveraged their roles as "persecuted Christians." Through Lukasik's careful examination of the everyday processes shaping Coptic communal formation, Martyrs and Migrants broadly reveals how ideologies of spiritual kinship are forged through theological histories of martyrdom and of blood, demonstrating the global dynamics and imperial politics of contemporary Christianity.
The Revolutionary Self
The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women’s expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers’ satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men’s singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.

Na ramenách obrov
Kniha sa zaoberá fenoménom hrdinu, jeho vlastnosťami, hodnotami a spôsobmi. Sleduje analýzu historického vývinu hrdinskej osobnosti od staroveku až po moderné dejiny, pričom si všíma objektívne podobnosti s dnešnými hrdinami. Hrdinu predstavuje ako hodnotový vzor, pričom identifikuje štyri základné a nasledovania hodné: vzdor a vlastná nezávislosť, odvaha podstúpiť riziko a zmeniť poznané, seba presahujúci cieľ a služba druhým.
Aj dnešná spoločnosť má svojich hrdinov, ktorí tichšie alebo hlasnejšie, v ústraní, alebo popredí, podopierajú jej krehkú stabilitu. Akí sú to ľudia? Aké príbehy napísali a prečo sú hrdinami? Aj na tieto kľúčové otázky sa snaží autor odpovedať, pričom poľahky vytvára mosty medzi viacerými vedeckými disciplínami. Uskutočnil päť rozhovorov s vybranými hrdinami: vojakom, kňazom, profesorom, lekárom a lekárkou, aby rozhovory analyzoval.

The Moon
The Moon has been an object of fascination for religions, cultures, and societies the world over since the dawn of humanity.
The Moon is a beautifully illustrated account of our lunar neighbour in all its guises: a guiding light in the night sky, the driver of oceanic tides and natural cycles, the subject of exhaustive scientific study, and an enduring influence in literature, art, and popular culture.
Exploring theories for the Moon’s origins around 4.5 billion years ago, the book charts its influence on the calendar systems and mythologies of early societies, and its role in the invention of the telescope and the science-fiction genre. It tells the incredible story of the Cold War space race and the first Moon landings. Specially commissioned illustrations capture the Moon's phases and motions in vivid detail, while stunning photography and artefacts bring the rich history of lunar observation and exploration to life.
Animal Behaviour
A thrilling face-to-face encounter with animals in their own environment – their elaborate displays, intimate lives, and extraordinary behaviour
Did you know that elephants give each other names, orangutans self-medicate, and rats giggle? Animal Behaviour is full of hundreds of stories that shed light on how animals navigate life in the wild.
Packed with vivid wildlife photography and action sequences, every aspect of animal life and behaviour is explored and explained – from courtship rituals and birth to hunting and death. An initial overview of animal anatomy and physiology reveals the science and biomechanics that underpin animal behaviour, while later chapters thematically break down the intricacies of animal feeding, development, communication, intelligence, learning, and other behavioural characteristics. Learn about play through river otters, see socialization among parrots at the riverbank, and catch prey with a fishing spider. Feature panels throughout the book explore the biology behind these traits, introduce case studies from the field, and highlight critical conservation issues facing these animals.
Animal Behaviour has been created in collaboration with internationally renowned zoologist and TV presenter Charlotte Uhlenbroek and a team of wildlife experts to ensure up-to-date and accurate information.
Look Again
For fans of Thinking, Fast and Slow and The Power of Habit, a groundbreaking new study of how disrupting our well-worn routines, both good and bad, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives.
Have you ever noticed that what is thrilling on Monday tends to become boring on Friday? Even exciting relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking works of art lose their sparkle after a while. People stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives. They also stop noticing what is terrible. They get used to dirty air. They stay in abusive relationships. People grow to accept authoritarianism and take foolish risks. They become unconcerned by their own misconduct, blind to inequality, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before.
But what if we could find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity, not only to the great things in your life, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change?
Borderlines
The history of Europe told through twenty-nine key borders that define the past, present and future of our continent
Europe's internal borders have rarely been 'natural'; they have more often been created by accident or force.
In Borderlines, political historian Lewis Baston journeys along twenty-nine key borders from west to east Europe, examining how the map of our continent has been redrawn over the last century, with varying degrees of success. The fingerprints of Napoleon, Alexander I, Castlereagh, Napoleon III and Bismarck are all there, but today's map of Europe is mostly the work of the Allies in 1919 and Stalin in 1945.
To journey to the centre of the story of Europe, Baston takes us to its edges, bringing to life the fascinating and often bizarre histories of these border zones. We visit Baarle, the town broken into thirty fragments by the Netherland-Belgium border, and stop in Ostritz, the eastern German town where Nazis held a rock festival. We meander the back lanes of rural Ireland, and soak up the atmosphere in the coffee houses of the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi. Through these borderlands, Baston explores how places and people heal from the scars left by a Europe of ethnic cleansing and barbed wire fences, and he searches for a better European future - finding it in unexpected places.

Kecharitomene, 2. vydanie
Kecharitomene je očarujúca, inšpiratívna a poetická kniha. Je to duchovný chválospev na počesť Panny Márie, položený na základe dôkladných znalostí mariológie. Kecharitomene je postavená na autorovom presvedčení o nadpozemskej kráse Panny Márie. Autor v nej tvrdí, že úžas nad Máriinou krásou predstavuje prvú etapu cesty približovania sa k Panne Márii a k jej postupnému objavovaniu.
Táto kniha dáva podnet k uvažovaniu o dogmách o Božom materstve Márie a jej nepoškvrnenom počatí, o jej osobitnom podieľaní sa na Kristovom tajomstve spásy a jej účasti ako Matky a Prostredníčky milostí v živote Cirkvi a každého kresťana.
Je napísaná s oduševnením a neskrývanou fascináciou postavou Bohorodičky, ako aj s presvedčením, že požiadavkou viery je objaviť jej nezastupiteľnú úlohu v eschatologickom boji kresťana proti hriechu a nepriateľom nádeje. Spolu so svätým Ľudovítom Mária Grignionom z Montfortu sa autor domnieva, že nadišla „mariánska éra na konci čias“. V súvislosti s Máriinými zjaveniami vo Fatime je potrebné si uvedomiť, že Božia prozreteľnosť sa svojím pôsobením snaží o vznik „nového pokolenia“, oddeľujúceho moc, ktorá sa nachádza v jej Nepoškvrnenom Srdci a je potrebná na "rozdrvenie hlavy hada".
Nepoškvrnené počatie je Otec, Syn a Duch Svätý, ktorý v Márii mliaždi hlavu hada. Boh sa skryl v Márii, v najkrajšom raji, aký stvoril. Posledné časy budú triumfom Nepoškvrneného počatia, teda definitívnym zničením satanovej moci skrze Otca i Syna i Ducha Svätého ? za účasti Božej Matky.
„Myslím si, že možnosť vidieť Máriu v hodine smrti by bola sladšou skúsenosťou než tá najšťastnejšia hodina života.“ Dominik Chmielewski
Kniha je cirkevne schválená.
Krížová cesta s Kráľovnou pokoja

The End of the Ottoman Empire and the Forging of the Modern Middle East
"In one hundred and twenty pages this book provides a compelling account of the shaping of the modern Middle East, and the critical part played in that process by the Ottoman Empire, even as it fell apart. It offers a mine of background information for anyone wishing to understand the current scene. Thirty-four well-chosen documents, mainly culled from the archives, buttress and illuminate the story." —Jonathan Schneer, Georgia Institute of Technology, author of The Balfour Declaration: The Origins of Arab-Israeli Conflict
