School Isn't For Everyone (and what you can do instead)


Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach. Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment. This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application. School Isn''t For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents'' role is and explores what children do all day when they don''t follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-to-day life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored. Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.

Tiny Gardens Everywhere


In the heart of bustling European and American cities lies an overlooked yet vibrant corner of resilience, ingenuity and magic: our gardens. From pre-industrial England to modern-day Ohio, via the Paris Commune, Barackia in pre-war Berlin, Soviet allotments in Estonia, the orchards tended by Black migrants in Washington and food forests in contemporary Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other and with nature, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Over the past three hundred years, these tiny gardens, often born from necessity and shaped by precarity, immigration and environmental crisis, have thrived by recycling nutrients, remedying contaminated soil and transforming how we think about our relationship to the earth. Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a hymn to the most fertile agriculture in recorded human history, showing that it occurred not on farms - the product of gigantic exertions of fossil fuels and technology - but with little effort in small garden beds. And the resourcefulness, intuition and inherited methods of their growers accomplished many of today's sustainability goals by producing local, diverse and organic food. Acclaimed historian Kate Brown unearths the long and battered story of gardeners and their gardens, asking what happens when these urban Edens are not seen as retreats from the city but become part of its social fabric, alive with histories of displacement, conflict and resistance. This is a book about land, but also about community, repair and the quiet revolutions that begin when someone plants a seed in unloved ground.

Volá ma po mene


Boh ťa pozná. Volá ťa po mene. Zamysli sa nad tým – Boh, ktorý drží v rukách všetko, čo existuje, pozná práve teba. Má pre teba jedinečné povolanie a dal ti všetko, čo potrebuješ, aby si ho naplnil/-a. Ale ruku na srdce – ako často na to zabúdaš? Ako často žiješ v pochybnostiach, strachu a pocite, že na to nemáš? Táto kniha je pozvaním ku zmene. Sto zamyslení, ktoré ti otvoria oči pre autoritu a moc, ktorú ti Boh dal. Nie preto, aby si sa cítil/-a lepšie na chvíľu – ale aby si mohol/mohla žiť odvážne, prekonávať prekážky a stať sa tým, kým ťa Boh stvoril. Ježiš nám ukázal, ako na to. V každom slove, ktoré povedal. V každom zázraku, ktorý vykonal. V celom svojom živote nám odhalil Božie srdce, myseľ aj dušu. Je naším vzorom – nie vzdialeným ideálom, ale živou cestou, po ktorej môžeme kráčať. Tieto zamyslenia ti pomôžu: hlbšie pochopiť, aký je Boh a aký/aká si ty v jeho očiach, získať duchovnú múdrosť, ktorá ťa premieňa zvnútra, pripraviť sa na mocné vyznania, zakorenené v Božích prísľuboch. Každé vyznanie v tejto knihe je pravdivé. Je založené na Kristovom diele vykúpenia a potvrdené jeho krvou. Keď ich vyslovuješ s vierou, niečo sa deje – v tebe aj okolo teba. Zastav sa. Čítaj. Rozjímaj. A potom nahlas vyhlasuj, kým si. Pretože slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, majú moc. Slová, ktoré vyslovujeme, oslavujú Boha, a jeho slovo sa k nemu nikdy nevráti bez výsledkov, ktoré ho vyvyšujú (Iz 55, 10–11). Si pripravenýú-á objaviť, kým naozaj si?

Kapitoly z dejín habsburskej monarchie v ranom novoveku (viacjazyčný zborník)


Habsburgovci a ich monarchia na dlhé stáročia spojili osudy obyvateľov Uhorska, českých krajín, rakúskych krajín, Chorvátska i veľkej časti Poľska. Na teritóriu monarchie vznikla jedinečná viacjazyčná a viackonfesionálna kultúra, ktorá žije dodnes v potomkoch ich vtedajších obyvateľov, v ich mentalite, každodennom správaní i kultúrnom vkuse bez toho, aby sa dokázali dohovoriť spoločným jazykom. Cieľom autorov jednotlivých príspevkov tohto zborníka bolo priblíženie kľúčových udalosti prvých storočí existencie habsburskej monarchie, geopolitického celku, ktorý sa takto v priebehu dejín nikdy nevolal. Spolu s ním sa na javisko dejín dostala aj dynastia Habsburgovcov. Habsburgovci a ich „súštátie“ zohrali v priebehu štyroch storočí významnú úlohu vo všetkých dôležitých udalostiach i procesoch vo vývine európskeho kontinentu. Ich účinkovanie je dodnes hodnotené pozitívne, negatívne i kontroverzne (napr. zastavenie osmanskej expanzie na jedneja násilnú rekapituláciu na druhom konci spektra). Zborník obsahuje príspevky v slovenčine, češtine, maďarčine aj v nemčine.

Broken Cycle


Why is the Liberal International Order unraveling – and will this lead to global disorder? Broken Cycle explores this urgent question by viewing international politics through a dynamic lens focused on the rise and fall of great powers – whose periodic global wars determine who rules and which ideas and values prevail in the reordered international system. Randall L. Schweller uncovers recurring patterns of change, offering a framework to anticipate the contours of the emerging world. Rather than tracking short-term diplomatic shifts, this book seeks the deeper rhythms of history – cycles of growth, expansion, and decline – that shape international politics over centuries. These patterns are not inevitable, but they are powerful. By understanding them, we gain insight into the forces driving today's dissent – and tomorrow's possibilities. This is a study of the structural forces that govern change, the crises that break the old order, and the ideas that rise in its place.

A Concise History of New Zealand Aotearoa


New Zealand was the last major landmass, other than Antarctica, to be settled by humans. In A Concise History of New Zealand Aotearoa, Philippa Mein Smith beautifully narrates the story of this rugged and dynamic land, from its origins in Gondwana, between 60 and 100 million years ago, its late settlement by Polynesian voyagers, and its colonisation by Europeans (and the exchanges that made these peoples Maori and Pakeha) to the dramatic struggles over land and efforts to manage global forces into the twenty-first century. The third edition continues to unravel key moments in distant and recent history – the signing and continuation of the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), the Gallipoli landings, the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, and earthquakes – showing their roles in nation-building myths and connecting them with the less dramatic forces, economic and social, that have shaped contemporary New Zealand.

Be a Good Man, Not a Nice Guy


Being “nice” is not the same as being good—and it’s costing men their confidence, relationships, and purpose. In Be a Good Man, Not a Nice Guy, author, speaker, and modern masculinity advocate Kelvin Davis challenges the outdated idea that men have to be passive, agreeable, and approval-seeking to be accepted—especially in love and life. This book is a wake-up call for men who are tired of being overlooked, misunderstood, or emotionally disconnected because they’ve been told to play it safe. Through honest storytelling, cultural insight, and actionable tools, Davis guides readers through the transformation from a “nice guy” who performs to be liked…into a good man who leads with truth, character, and emotional strength. This is not a book about being macho or dominant—it’s about being real, grounded, and responsible. Whether you’re navigating relationships, fatherhood, or personal growth, this book helps you reconnect with your core values and redefine what it means to be a man in today’s world. ?Who It’s For:Men who feel stuck in relationships where they can’t be fully themselvesReaders seeking emotional maturity and purpose-driven masculinityWomen wanting to understand the inner world of the “nice guy”Coaches, therapists, and educators guiding men through personal growt? ou’ll Learn:Why being “nice” is often a mask for fear and insecurityHow to set boundaries without guiltWhat healthy masculinity actually looks likeHow to stop people-pleasing and start self-leadingThe habits of emotionally intelligent, grounded men

Imperfect Equilibrium


Why has Russia’s military struggled to adapt to the challenges of contemporary warfare? Despite years of attempts to improve its military capabilities, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 revealed a crippling lack of skill, discipline and equipment. Non-material factors, in particular the power struggle between military and civilian leaderships, have hindered reform of its armed forces: with officers dominating defence policy, the Kremlin has struggled to implement the necessary changes. Kirill Shamiev explores the political reasons behind Russia’s poor military preparedness for the war in Ukraine. He demonstrates how a seemingly obedient military has frequently blocked civilian reforms, taking advantage of weak oversight mechanisms. The Kremlin’s efforts to centralise control and make the armed forces personally accountable to President Vladimir Putin harmed institutional learning, cementing a conservative civil–military status quo. While this protected the military from civil society interference and ensured Putin’s autocratic rule, it ultimately limited the pace and scope of change. Analysing three cases of reform between 2000 and 2021, Imperfect Equilibrium offers critical insights into the relationship between civilian control and military effectiveness in Russia. Drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative evidence—including interviews, parliamentary speeches, media reports and surveys—it shows how unchecked autonomy can undermine military development, even in authoritarian contexts.

How to Feel Loved


A globally renowned happiness scientist and a top relationship researcher draw on the science of happiness, love and human connection to offer a powerful framework for feeling truly appreciated and fulfilled. ‘There aren't two scientists in the world I trust more to deliver research-backed, actionable recommendations on how to improve your relationships.’ ANGELA DUCKWORTH, bestselling author of Grit'This book might change your life. ' ARTHUR C. BROOKS, bestselling author of The Happiness Files-----------Many people believe that if they behave the right way, say the right things, or make themselves more lovable, they will feel more loved. But this kind of reflexive thinking is fundamentally misguided, causing a disconnect that can lead to loneliness, depression and self-doubt. Sonja Lyubomirsky, the world’s preeminent expert on happiness, and Harry Reis, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships and connection, have studied the complexities of well-being and love in depth. In How to Feel Loved they present a radical, hopeful, and science-backed shift in how to think about love. They reveal that feeling loved isn’t about making ourselves more appealing — it’s about showing our full and vulnerable selves to others and encouraging our loved ones to do the same. They introduce five powerful mindsets to help us feel the love we crave:A Sharing mindset — showing our vulnerabilities and inner world, not just the polished partsA Listening-to-Learn mindset — making space to truly tune in to another, not just to take turns speakingA Radical Curiosity mindset — being genuinely interested in another and asking better questionsAn Open-Heart mindset — being kind and affirming to another for who they truly areA Multiplicity mindset — embracing the messy complexity in all of usThese mindset shifts give shape to a dynamic back-and-forth process the authors call the Relationship See-Saw, which will help readers remake their conversations in ways that enable them to deeply know those they love and become deeply known by them. It isn’t enough to be loved. To be truly fulfilled, we must feel loved. This book shows us how. -----------More praise for How to Feel Loved'A gift to anyone who wants to live with more joy and connection.' DAN BUETTNER, bestselling author of The Blue Zones'This is the book we’ve been waiting for!

Konfesionálny vývin Uhorska v ranom novoveku


Pre Uhorské kráľovstvo bol raný novovek, no najmä jeho prvé dve desaťročia, osobitne ťažkou epochou. Po tragickej bitke pri Moháči si Osmani vybudovali v krajine vlastnú dŕžavu a z iba nedávno prekvitajúcej stredoeurópskej mocnosti sa stalo bojisko, nárazníkový priestor, stojaci v ceste vojnovej mašinérii islamu. Práve v tomto období sa v Uhorsku udomácnila reformácia, ktorá priniesla mohutný rozvoj školstva, vzdelanosti, myslenia a kultúry. Nasledujúce 17. storočie sa potom nieslo v znamení najprv nesmelej, potom však stále silnejúcej rekatolizácie. Tá po násilných excesoch, krvavých súdoch a galejníkoch pokračovala v poslednej tretine 17. storočia menej násilnými, no účinnými metódami, až sa na sklonku storočia zakonzervovala náboženská tolerancia ako nový fenomén habsburskej, ešte stále absolutistickej politiky. Publikácia je výsledkom snahy autorov o lepšie poznanie spomínaných udalostí a procesov náboženského vývinu na území historického Uhorska v ranom novoveku.

Skryté formy manipulace


Jak se jim bránit a využít ve svůj prospěch Neuvěřitelně podrobná publikace o tom, jak se lidé mohou navzájem ovlivňovat a jak mezi nimi může probíhat manipulace. Autor přitom rozlišuje několik typů manipulace: hrubou a jemnou; a dále manipulaci, která je sobecky motivovaná. Jiný typ manipulace představují pozitivní pokusy druhého nenápadně ovlivňovat, třeba při překonávání jeho lenosti či konkrétních zlozvyků, v pracovním výkonu a dalších důležitých životních návycích. Cílem knihy je ukázat, jak hluboce do moderního života proniklo skryté ovlivňování a manipulace, a zároveň předložit řadu konkrétních způsobů, jak se této hrozbě bránit. Text umí poskytnout četné návody na to, jak přimět lidi udělat to, co chceme (v rodině, v práci, přátelství; například aby za nás někdo něco udělal, půjčil nám peníze a podobně). Naučíte se poznávat, jaký typ je určitý člověk, a podle toho s ním jednat a působit na něho. Najdete zde tipy, jak zapracovat na vlastní přitažlivosti, neboť dobrý manipulátor musí mít rovněž určité vlastnosti. Text je velmi čtivě psaný a velmi přehledně členěný. Veškerá vysvětlení, popisy jednotlivých forem komunikace a chování i nejrůznějších faktorů, jež hrají při manipulaci roli, ilustrují příklady ze života i anekdoty, které vás často pobaví.
