Flaming Soul
In A Flaming Soul, writer and scholar Chanchal Kumar Ghosh turns to the most intimate chapter of Swami Vivekananda’s extraordinary life—the final year and a half between 1900 and 1902. Set largely on the quiet banks of the Ganges at Belur Math, the narrative reveals a very different Vivekananda from the one who awakened a nation. Here, he is portrayed as ailing yet serene, withdrawn yet deeply compassionate, and all the while preparing inwardly for his final departure. Blending meticulous historical research with the sensitivity of a novelist’s imagination, Ghosh brings readers close to the monk’s daily life, capturing his conversations with brother disciples, reflections on the scriptures, and quiet acts of spiritual preparation.

Filozofické skice
Zbierka esejí Filozofické skice americkej filozofky Susanne K. Langerovej patrí medzi zásadné knihy skúmajúce oblasť logiky, estetiky a teórie mysle. V diele, pôvodne vydanom ako Philosophical Sketches (1962), autorka rozpracúva spôsoby, akým si ľudia vytvárajú zmysel sveta vo vede, jazyku, umení, mýtoch a v snoch. S. K. Langer (1895 – 1985) nachádza pre filozofiu „novým kľúč“, ktorým je poznanie, že základné zmyslové údaje a fakty, tvoriace ľudskú skúsenosť a poznanie sveta, sú vo svojej podstate symbolické. Autorka si celosvetovo získala množstvo priaznivcov, ktorý ocenili návrat k podstate filozofického myslenia, metódu analýzy, vecnosť a početné esejistické prvky. Bádateľka si za svojho prijímateľa nevyberá iba profesionála, ale aj laika a svojho čitateľa vníma komplexne ako učenca i učiaceho sa. Kľúčovú problematiku symbolizmu podáva nielen z filozofického či estetického hľadiska, ale tiež vo vzájomnom prepojení vied v širších historických, antropologických, kulturologických a neurovedeckých súvislostiach.
Pár-percek
Előfordult már, hogy hétközben alig vártuk, hogy megbeszéljünk valamit a társunkkal, amikor pedig végre ott volt a lehetőség, ötletünk sem volt, mit mondjunk? Mihalec Gábor 52 rövid gondolatébresztővel segít átlendülni ezeken a nehézségeken. Minden fejezet egy-egy témát vet fel, inspirációt nyújtva a heti házaspáros beszélgetésekhez, melyeket a legtöbb szakember - természetesen a napi kommunikáció mellett - elengedhetetlennek tart a kapcsolat egészségének megőrzéséhez.
Mivel a fejezetek nem épülnek egymásra, szabadon válogathatunk a könnyedebb és a kihívást jelentő témák között. Érdemes azonban legyőzni a belső ellenállást, és mélyebb vizekre evezni, hogy együtt bejárhassuk a kapcsolatunk változásra, újragondolásra szoruló területeit is.
A szerző a saját életéből vett példákkal és a beszélgetést, gondolkodást elindító kérdésekkel az egymás előtti megnyílásra, őszinte kommunikációra, a sebezhetőség vállalására ösztönöz.

God and the First Families
God and the First Families offers a novel exploration of God's role as a parent in the book of Genesis. Compellingly, author Stephen Spector introduces Americans' four main perceptions of God and their four most common styles of parenting as lenses through which we can reckon with God's own methods of parenting in the first biblical book. God begins as an authoritarian parent who demands obedience and submission to authority, but shifts in striking ways. Next, God's parenting seems entirely benevolent. Stunningly, God reverts to authoritarianism during the near sacrifice of Isaac—but then invents a new parenting style focused on guiding the characters' moral and emotional growth. Many psychologists consider this the most successful childrearing method. Genesis reached that conclusion two and a half millennia ago!Throughout, Spector engages with familiar stories—sibling rivalries, family ruptures, traumas—from unexpected angles. He dramatizes how parental love in Genesis builds resilience against trauma, another idea validated by modern psychology. Surviving trauma, healing from parental favoritism, repairing broken relationships, earning forgiveness, possibly even reconciling after injury—Genesis offers wisdom on all.

Gangster of New York
This is the story of Louis Bieral, a nineteenth-century gangster, politician, sportsman, and Civil War hero. Kidnapped from his birthplace in revolutionary South America, he doused fires in Jacksonian New York, battled Sumatran pirates with the US Navy, and panned for California gold. As a crime boss, he raced horses, boxed champions, and ran brothels. Yet Bieral's adventurous life was also steeped in the brutality of his time. He befriended rowdies like 'Butcher' Bill Poole, returned fugitives like Anthony Burns to slavery, and assaulted abolitionists such as Richard Henry Dana. As a Union officer, Bieral won fame in battle. He was a Gilded-age bodyguard for 'Boss' Tweed, William Seward, and Jim Fisk, becoming a suspect in that tycoon's murder. From the docks of Valparaíso to the dining room of Delmonico's to the cells of Auburn Prison, Bieral's remarkable journey illustrates the violence that bound nineteenth-century America together.
Clinical Work with Men
A fresh approach to understanding and engaging men in therapy Why do so many men avoid therapy—or never return after the first session? And how can clinicians better connect with them? In Clinical Work With Men, psychologist Andrew P. Smiler offers a groundbreaking guide for therapists seeking to better understand and engage with male clients by exploring masculinity from the inside out. Instead of pathologizing men's behaviors, this book helps clinicians see the world through their clients' eyes, examining the roles, values, and identities that shape how men understand themselves. Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, Smiler introduces seven common masculinity types—from the breadwinner and the protector to the angry man and the player—each with its own strengths, struggles, and therapeutic implications. Through vivid clinical vignettes and actionable strategies, therapists will learn how to:Recognize the core values and identity themes that drive male clients' behavior. Build rapport by aligning therapeutic approaches with clients' self-understandings. Address emotional development, social connection, and intersectional challenges. Apply practical interventions tailored to diverse masculinities. With its unique focus on identity, values, and real-world clinical applications, Clinical Work With Men will deepen your insight, sharpen your skills, and help you create more meaningful, effective therapeutic relationships with men.
Helping Couples on the Brink of Divorce
This second edition offers a session-by-session guide to discernment counseling, a specialized five-session intervention to help couples leaning different ways about divorce or separation find the best path forward for their troubled relationships. The authors have added new case examples that reflect different kinds of couples, as well as an additional chapter demonstrating the entire discernment counseling protocol in action. Updated scholarship and insights for learning to become a discernment counselor have also been included. Unlike traditional couples therapy, the goal of discernment counseling isn't to help the couple heal their relationship but rather to gain clarity and confidence about a direction for their relationship in terms of three potential paths: maintaining the status quo, getting divorced/separated, or entering couples therapy. Typically, one partner or spouse is invested in saving the relationship (leaning in) while the other is not (leaning out), so this book explores how to navigate these differing agendas and offers clinicians tools for interacting with both partners. It walks through the process of working with the couple together and with each partner individually, helping them to recognize their contributions to the relationship's problems and clarify what they would work on if they embark on couples therapy. Common challenges in discernment counseling are also explored, such as when neither partner is leaning in, when one partner is having an affair, and when there is lack of love or passion.
Mentalization-Based Treatment for Children
Transform the way children understand themselves and others. Mentalization—the ability to make sense of one’s own mind and the minds of others—is fundamental to developing emotional resilience, self-regulation, and successful relationships. Now in its second edition, this book presents mentalization-based treatment for children (MBT-C), a transdiagnostic, time-limited therapeutic approach designed to help children and their parents navigate emotional and behavioral difficulties, from anxiety and depression to interpersonal struggles. MBT-C blends psychodynamic principles, attachment theory, and empirical research on mentalization to provide practical, evidence-based strategies for clinicians. Written by an international team of pioneering clinician-researchers, this fully updated second edition guides practitioners through the entire process of MBT-C, from assessment and case formulation to therapy termination. This edition contains a promising new assessment tool, new theory and research on the interrelated aspects of trauma and culture, and groundbreaking findings from the first clinical trial of time-limited MBT-C for children with emotional and behavioral difficulties.
A Vacation for Victory
Serving not in uniforms or factories but in orchards, fields, and farms, the women and girls of Canada’s Women’s Land Army – the youngest of whom were known as “farmerettes” – planted, picked, and packed food that sustained the nation while men fought overseas. A Vacation for Victory brings this fascinating Second World War history to life. Blending creative nonfiction with archival letters, newspaper clippings, interviews, and her own grandmother’s recollections, Kelsey Lonie portrays the working lives of women who formed Canada’s farm front. Their stories and photographs reveal how they understood both their labour and their changing place in society. Unlike other Allied countries, Canada did not create a national land army; instead, provinces took the lead. Ontario recruited thousands of women, while British Columbia’s program faltered until prairie women, eager for new experiences elsewhere, signed up. Patriotic duty, however, is only part of Lonie’s narrative: wealthy landowners expanded orchards, leaving the hardest, dirtiest jobs to marginalized workers, thus exposing how racism and capitalism shaped wartime farming industries. Richly illustrated with photographs, postcards, and cultural ephemera, A Vacation for Victory offers powerful accounts of grit, inequity, and resilience, restoring women to the centre of Canada’s wartime effort.
The Disintegrating Conscience and the Decline of Modernity
This book considers how the modern concept of "conscience" turns the historic commitment on its head, in a way that underlies the decadence of modern society. Steven D. Smith's books are always anticipated with great interest by scholars, jurists, and citizens who see his work on foundational questions surrounding law and religion as shaping the debate in profound ways. Now, in The Disintegrating Conscience and the Decline of Modernity, Smith takes as his starting point Jacques Barzun's provocative assertion that "the modern era" is coming to an end. Smith considers the question of decline by focusing on a single theme—conscience—that has been central to much of what has happened in Western politics, law, and religion over the past half-millennium. Rather than attempting to follow that theme step-by-step through five hundred years, the book adopts an episodic and dramatic approach by focusing on three main figures and particularly portentous episodes: first, Thomas More's execution for his conscientious refusal to take an oath mandated by Henry VIII; second, James Madison's contribution to Virginia law in removing the proposed requirement of religious toleration in favor of freedom of conscience; and, third, William Brennan's pledge to separate his religious faith from his performance as a Supreme Court justice. These three episodes, Smith suggests, reflect in microcosm decisive turning points at which Western civilization changed from what it had been in premodern times to what it is today. A commitment to conscience, Smith argues, has been a central and in some ways defining feature of modern Western civilization, and yet in a crucial sense conscience in the time of Brennan and today has come to mean almost the opposite of what it meant to Thomas More. By scrutinizing these men and episodes, the book seeks to illuminate subtle but transformative changes in the commitment to conscience—changes that helped to bring Thomas More's world to an end and that may also be contributing to the disintegration of (per Barzun) "the modern era."
The Nature of Law
Challenging the prevailing understanding of the authority of law, Daniel Mark offers a theory of moral obligation that is rooted both in command and in the law's orientation to the common good. When and why do we have an obligation to obey the law? Prevailing theories in the philosophy of law, starting with the work of H. L. A. Hart and Joseph Raz, fail to provide definitive answers regarding the nature of legal obligation. In this highly original and effective new work, Daniel Mark argues that there is a prima facie moral obligation to obey the law simply because it is the law. In Mark's view, the best concept of law—one that allows for the possibility of justified authority and obligation—defines law as a set of commands oriented to the common good. Legal obligation, he proposes, shares defining features with moral obligation and with religious obligation while aligning wholly with neither. This philosophically coherent view of legal obligation offers a viable framework for analyzing important and seemingly paradoxical puzzles about the law, such as why civil disobedience is punished as lawbreaking or why war-crimes trials for legal but immoral acts present a moral quandary. By reconciling the concept of law as command with the role of law in promoting the common good, The Nature of Law provides an original and important scholarly contribution to the fields of legal philosophy and political thought.
Emotionography
How does emotion arise in everyday settings? How can it be studied in the real world?In this book, authors Jonathan Potter and Alexa Hepburn offer their distinctive approach to the study of emotion. Emotionography explores emotion not through scales, experiments, or interviews, but as it actually occurs in natural interactions. Drawing on discursive psychology and conversation analysis, the authors' detailed analytic toolkit for representing talk, timing, and conduct makes visible how emotion is displayed, oriented to, and managed moment by moment. Step-by-step case examples show how crying and upset, laughter, and anger can be understood from an emotionographic perspective.Emotion is live, consequential, and interactional, and it can be studied with a level of accuracy that also has practical bite. Emotionography shows how the ways people display and describe feelings shape what others do next, including how they respond, align, resist, comfort, escalate, or redirect. That matters in everyday life, and it matters in high-stakes settings such as helplines, emergency calls, healthcare, and counselling. Emotionography offers practitioners a way to refine how they respond in real time, and offers researchers a rigorous analytic alternative to treating emotion as a private inner state.
By Authority of Parliament
The Supreme Court of Canada has affirmed that legislatures, including Parliament, are bound by the Constitution – even beyond the explicit text of the Charter and the British North America Act. Yet legislatures are increasingly asserting authority through rights-limiting laws and the use of the notwithstanding clause. This tension between parliamentary sovereignty and constitutional rights exposes a dangerous misconception: that Canadian legislators can abolish all of our fundamental rights with ordinary law. By Authority of Parliament demonstrates that legislators do not have this power, and more importantly, they never did. Drawing on rich historical analysis, Ryan Alford traces the transformation of parliamentary sovereignty into an exaggerated parliamentary supremacy and uses habeas corpus to illustrate constitutional limits that governed in England, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Absolute rights and sovereignty appear to conflict only when sovereignty is redefined as supremacy, a shift justified by the influential constitutional theorist A.V. Dicey. As UK courts have recently turned away from this paradigm, Alford argues that Canadian courts should be equally forthright in recognizing that the Diceyan model has never described the Canadian constitutional order. Essential reading for students, lawyers, and judges, this timely book will interest all those engaged in Canadian legal history and constitutional law.

Den D 6. 6. 1944 – Vrcholná bitva druhé světové války
"Legendární historik druhé světové války Stephen E. Ambrose v knize Den D na podkladu 1 400 ústních výpovědí mužů, kteří se v červnu roku 1944 účastnili invaze do Francie, vůbec poprvé odhaluje, že se málem muselo od složitého plánu upustit ještě předtím, než zazněl první výstřel. Pravdivá historie v autorově podání pojednává o občanech vojácích (nižších důstojnících a řadových vojácích), kteří, jakmile si uvědomili, že se ocitli ve zcela jiné situaci, než na jakou je připravovali, se na vlastní pěst chopili iniciativy, aby prolomili Hitlerův Atlantický val.
Kniha obsahuje dechberoucí popisy bojů na plážích Omaha a Utah, které vycházejí z dosud nepublikovaných informací poskytnutých americkými, britskými, kanadskými, francouzskými a německými veterány, vládními a soukromými archivy.

The Scottish Rebellion against Robert the Bruce
July of 1331 saw the gathering of a most unusual army; its billets scattered across the modest ports of Yorkshire’s eastern coast. Its purpose, the invasion of Scotland and the overthrow of the yet inchoate line of Bruce kings. This was a task monumentally disproportionate in scale to the tiny army that sought to undertake it. It was a goal which they would ultimately fail to realise, though not before experiencing some spectacular successes and forever changing the balance of power within Scottish politics. The most notable of these triumphs were the Battle of Dupplin Moor, and the better-known Battle of Halidon Hill. Such unlikely victories lent credibility to their cause, igniting another decade of war. The army was mostly English, but its masters were the disinherited sons and grandsons of what had once been the flower of Scottish knighthood, an alliance of related Scottish nobles who had been exiled from Scotland for their ongoing refusal to accept Robert Bruce’s claim to the throne. While they eagerly courted the support of the current English king, Edward III, they were no mere ciphers or puppets – their fathers and grandfathers had been amongst the fiercest proponents of Scottish freedom and independence. Edward I of England had seized upon the succession crisis that followed the death of Alexander III to insinuate himself into the centre of Scottish politics and attempt to compel the Scottish nobility into acquiescing to his claims of overlordship. Yet the following war was shaped as much by the struggle between rival Scottish dynasties as it was the imperial ambitions of successive English kings. Running parallel to the war to refute English overlordship of Scotland was an internecine conflict in which disparate factions of the Scottish nobility vied with one another to secure the throne. Both the Bruce and the Comyn family, from whom the majority of the exiles were descended, danced back and forth across the line between loyalists and collaborators in their attempts to dominate Scottish politics. The Bruces and their allies eventually triumphed in this dual struggle, but it was a victory of family and faction rather than kingdom or nation. The return of these disinherited nobles and the war they unleashed eventually re-awakened English ambitions to annex Scotland, spiralling into the Second War of Independence. This book explores the history of the families that produced these exiles, as well as their conduct in both Wars of Independence, to gain a valuable new perspective on Scotland’s historical struggle for independence and uncover the truth of the, all but forgotten, civil war that did so much to define it.
