A fák titkos élete


„Csak aki ismeri a fákat, az képes védelmezni őket.” Az erdő a csönd, az érintetlen természet, a mese és a titkok birodalma. Egy hely, ahol bármi megtörténhet. Peter Wohlleben, a neves német erdész a fák titkos életébe enged betekintést, és meglepő dolgokat tár fel. Mert az erdőben ámulatba ejtő dolgok történnek: a fák beszélgetnek egymással. Nemcsak utódaikról gondoskodnak odaadóan, de idős és beteg szomszédaikat is ápolják. A fák éreznek és emlékeznek. Hihetetlen? Pedig igaz! Peter Wohlleben fényt visz az erdő sűrűjébe, és bepillantást nyújt egy titokzatos világba. A fák eddig nem is sejtett képességeiről írott lebilincselő tudományos esszéiben a legújabb felfedezéseket éppúgy figyelembe veszi, mint saját tapasztalatait és érzéseit. És az olvasó nem győz álmélkodni a természet csodáin.

In and against Development: The World Bank behind the Looking Glass


The second of two volumes written “in and against development” meticulously criticizes the World Bank’s scholarship and assesses alternative approaches to development studies.  Long self-proclaimed as the “Knowledge Bank”, the World Bank is as active it is criticized for being in its endeavors to promote US interests in the the age of globalization, neoliberalism and financialization across its scholarship, ideology and policy in practice. Its analytical framing draws upon economics imperialism in general, and its evolution through three phases. Corresponding phases of new, newer and newest development economics are identified, with the World Bank taking a leading role in each, with implications for the expanding scope of development economics and its contestations with development studies.

Desk Revolutionaries


The French Directory is often dismissed as an uninspiring interlude between revolutionary fervour and Napoleonic legend, yet its story is far richer than its reputation suggests. This book shifts the focus from the regime to the remarkable men who shaped it – a cohort of jurists, engineers and administrators who survived the Reign of Terror and set out to safeguard the Revolution’s most important achievements. Working not on battlefields but in offices and council chambers, they built durable laws and institutions that still underpin modern France. The first English-language study on the topic in fifty years, Desk Revolutionaries offers an engaging, character-driven narrative that also sheds light on the enduring power of technical experts in government, inviting reflection on how democracies are made – and maintained.

Essays on Marx's Theory of Value


A new English translation of Isaak Illich Rubin’s classic Essays on Marx’s Theory of Value. First published in the Soviet Union in 1923, Rubin’s book sparked a fierce value controversy with contemporary Soviet economists during the late 1920s. As such, the present translation is conceived as a variorum edition, including all the essential supplementary materials related to this foundational work in Marx’s value theory, published here in English for the first time. In addition to Rubin’s main work, this edition includes his four most important related publications, as well as ten debate articles written and published by his contemporary proponents and opponents.

Muži na hrane


Odhaľte, ako sa stať dobrým mužom v chaotickom svete. Muži a chlapci sa ocitajú uprostred globálnej krízy. Tam, kde kedysi boli pozitívne maskulínne vzory a optimistické vyhliadky do budúcnosti, dnes ostala už len prázdnota a absencia zmyslu. Miera samovrážd mužov závratne rastie, miera zamestnanosti klesá a problémy s duševným zdravím a vzťahmi už nie je možné ignorovať. Toto však nie je len mužský problém. Ovplyvňuje to spoločnosť ako celok. Scott Galloway už roky upozorňuje na túto problematiku. V knihe Muži na hrane skúma, čo znamená byť v dnešnej dobe mužom, a poskytuje plán pre zdravú mužnosť a duševnú silu. Neponúka rýchle riešenia, ale autenticky rekapituluje vlastný životný príbeh a dokumentuje proces prerodu chlapca na muža. Pri skúmaní tém ako detstvo, depresia, hnev, tlak, peniaze a vzťahy sa delí o niekedy vtipné, často však aj bolestivé lekcie, ktoré sa počas svojej cesty naučil. Scott Galloway s neochvejnou úprimnosťou hľadá cestu von z globálnej krízy, a zároveň ponúka aj víziu novej, lepšej maskulinity.

Stalin’s Top Spies


Formed a mere two months after the Bolshevik Revolution, the Cheka, the Soviet Security and Intelligence Agency, was formed to gather intelligence and promote revolution abroad. This organisation underwent a series of transformations over the following decades and achieved some remarkable successes against Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, the USA, and the United Kingdom. Throughout the 1930s, the Soviets pursued their ambition of gaining influence in Eastern Europe. It was a plan that inevitably brought them into conflict with Nazi Germany, against which they began setting up clandestine organisations that were meant to become operational in the event of war. The USA had been of peripheral interest to the Soviets up until the prospect of war loomed ever closer. Then, when it became known that Britain and the USA were exploring the potential of atomic weapons, espionage in the western hemisphere became of paramount importance. Despite their being allies against the Nazis, the Soviets significantly increased spying activity against both nations in an effort to develop their own atomic bomb programme. After the end of the Second World War, a new and ominous threat hung over the world in the guise of the Cold War when the Soviets brought into play their British spy network which became known as the Cambridge Five. These were agents who had been radicalised and recruited during the 1930s and then embedded within the British security services. In Stalin’s Top Spies the author explores five of the Soviet Union’s greatest spies: Leopold Trepper (and the Red Orchestra), Ursula Kuczynski (the Atomic Spy), Richard Sorge (a Soviet agent in Tokyo), Kim Philby (the Cambridge Spy), and Rudolf Abel (a Soviet intelligence officer who was arrested in the USA on charges of espionage in 1957). The book not only reveals their successes and failures, but assessing the extent to which they influenced world events from the Second World War through to the early years of the Cold War. In so doing, it also highlights the failures of the target nations to recognise the threat posed to them and exposes their lack of success in dealing with it.

B-29 Superfortress


The B-29 Superfortress was a vital and iconic strategic bomber of the Second World War. It was designed with a range and warlord capability that made it viable for operation in the vast regions of Asia Pacific. This bomber played a key part in the defeat and unconditional surrender of Japan, principally using fire-bombing techniques. The complex role and effectiveness of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are reviewed critically. The work has 21st century connection in the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. The United States Navy, US ground forces and the B-29 wings were brought together to fight, in the author's words, 'he most massive air war the world had ever seen'. Technical aspects including bomb-load and range - vital for the vast Asia Pacific, are set out for all readers, service, academic and lay. The narrative takes readers through the history of the major air wars commencing with Europe, where the US Army Air Corps was allied with Britain's RAF. After victory in Europe in 1944 the combined war effort shifted to the war with Japan on land, sea, and in the air. The great sea battles follow with the Coral Sea, Midway and combined operations in the Guadalcanal Campiagn of 1942 seen as a turning-point. The Philippine Sea carrier battle brought about the end of the Japanese navy's carrier strength and the following battle of Leyte was seen as a ‘grudge-match' for Pearl Harbor'. The invasion of the Marianas secured air bases that at last brought B-29 operations within striking range of Japan. Preparation of crews for combat takes readers into sharing combat experience with crews and personal flying experience is graphic - problems affecting sighting targets, bomb-aiming, escape from attack, danger and fear of loss. In this campaign the B-29 played the most important combat role of its career. It was an aircraft unique in the history of aviation.

Coronations and Defenestrations


The Conservative Party and its leaders have shaped modern Britain. Who leads the Conservative Party matters, but how do they get to the top of their part? istorically, leaders were expected to "emerge" through unknown and unknowable processes, typically involving the monarch and party grandees. Every party leader until the 1960s was chosen this way. But as postwar Britain embraced all things modern and meritocratic, the Tory party’s traditional ways of working appeared out of touch. The rules were changed subsequently and again after the 1997 landslide defeat. Tory MPs now decide which two candidates are to be put to a members’ vote. A decision which has resulted in the ignominious situation of a leader elected without the support of the parliamentary party. In this lively telling of Conservative Party history, Lee Evans asks whether the leadership election rules are the source of the party’s current decline and considers what a more effective process might look like for choosing and deposing the leader while in opposition or in office.

Kavics a cipőben


Néha nem hegyeket kell megmozgatnunk - csupán egy kavicsot kivenni a cipőnkből. A legtöbben úgy hisszük, hogy életünk nagy fordulataihoz látványos lépésekre, drámai változásokra van szükség. Pedig gyakran éppen az apró, alig észrevehető dolgokon múlik, hogy megakadunk-e vagy továbbhaladunk. Ezekben az írásokban az ismert klinikai és pasztorálpszichológus, Tapolyai Emőke nem csodaszereket vagy forradalmi technikákat kínál, hanem finom, mégis mélyreható felismeréseket. Olyan jellemvonásokra és viselkedésformákra irányítja rá a figyelmet, melyek látszólag jelentéktelenek, akár egy bosszantó, megállásra késztető kavics a cipőnkben. Ám ha hajlandóak vagyunk észrevenni és "kivenni" ezeket, csodálatos változások tanúi lehetünk mind a személyes életünkben, mind a kapcsolatrendszereinkben. A könyvben szereplő írások korábban a Family magazinban jelentek meg.

Disputing Disaster


In Disputing Disaster, Perry Anderson picks from the highly charged historiography on the First World War one leading historian from each of the major powers that survived the conflagration: Fritz Fischer, celebrated champion of German war guilt; Pierre Renouvin, a dis­abled serviceman and preeminent authority on the conflict in France; Luigi Albertini, the Italian newspaper tycoon who, unique among scholars of the Great War, played a part in pitching his country into it; Paul W. Schroeder, the American expert on the system of European interstate relations and its breakdown in 1914; Keith Wilson, the one radical deviant from a patriotic consensus about Britain's role in the outbreak of the fighting; and, from Australia (summoned into the war as a dominion), Christopher Clark, acclaimed author of The Sleepwalkers. Disputing Disaster offers a compelling analysis of the major compet­ing versions of the genesis of the Great War; fresh light on the politi­cal background of its leading historians; and a novel synthesis of the determining pressures that brought the conflict to pass.

Hitler's War Against the French Resistance


In 1941, a year after France formally surrendered, Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French forces, appointed Jean Moulin to coordinate the various resistance movements that had sprung up all over France. His mission was to unify the diverse and often fragmented resistance groups into a more cohesive organization. He successfully brought together various resistance factions under the umbrella of the National Council of the Resistance (CNR), which was a crucial step toward creating a united front against both the Nazis and the Vichy French regime. Since the start of the Occupation, the Germans realized that resistance to their rule was inevitable. With this in mind, they went about establishing total control of France, not only through the German Army forces stationed in the country, but using the entire Nazi security apparatus. From 1941 onwards, the Germans began to encounter frequent and increasingly more damaging acts of resistance, which required not only intelligence and counter-intelligence work, but the launching of raids and small operations. The intensity of partisan attacks began to increase even more in 1942. This level of resistance grew even greater in 1943. By then, the partisans were selectively challenging local German garrisons and collaborator forces in the French countryside. By the beginning of 1944, the Resistance, or Maquis as it was also known, became bolder, even establishing so-called Free-French republics in various regions of the country. Employing primary source documents from several archives, author Antonio Munoz has produced a one-volume study that fully covers the partisan and anti-partisan struggle in France from 1940 through to 1944. Hitler’s War Against the French Resistance, 1940-1944 is a valuable reference source for those who wish to study the guerrilla and anti-guerrilla struggle during the Second World War.

A People's History of London


For nearly 2,000 years, London has been a breeding ground for radical ideas, home to thinkers, heretics and rebels. A People's History of London presents fascinating portraits of the heroic idealists who made the city their home. Lindsey German and John Rees bring to life the dissident priest John Wycliff and the Levellers' Civil War struggle. They delve into the travails of the silk weavers, match girls and dockers who crusaded for workers' rights. And they recount the Battle of Cable Street, where East Enders took on Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts. This updated edition recounts the battles of recent years: the Grenfell disaster, the inspiring Palestine movement, and the fight for a city fit for its people, not one hobbled by developers and landlords.
