Unanxious
Now in paperback! A book for overthinkers by an overthinker. Learn to start living a life you create—no longer burdened by the need to numb yourself from feelings of anxiety and burnout—through insightful stories, journal prompts, and down-to-earth advice from artist and international best-selling author of Unlearn, Humble The Poet. "3 PAGES IN, YOU'LL FEEL 1,000 LBS LIGHTER."— Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times Best-Selling Author“Life doesn’t begin after the obstacles, life is the obstacles, and we have to unlearn the idea that we need, or would even want, a life free of chaos, stress, and anxiety. We grow from facing challenges and exploring our limits.” This book is for the overthinkers struggling with overwhelm, burnout, and anxiety. If that’s you—sipping from a half-empty glass and staring at your phone on the sidelines of your own life—then this book will remind you that you are not alone and share tools to change your life (and your mind). Unanxious encourages readers to face their own stressors and triggers head-on with research-backed techniques and journal prompts. Stories from the author’s recent lessons in facing fears by pushing his own boundaries—from ice baths, hot yoga, and ayahuasca journeys to moving to a new city and forging meaningful connections with family and friends—inspire and empower you to stop numbing and avoiding, and start embracing the discomfort and doing what you want to do. With a beginner’s mindset approach and a vulnerable sensibility, Humble walks alongside you as you journey inward, learning from his mistakes and delivering words of wisdom less like a sage on a mountaintop and more like your most introspective friend.
Hybridy a kyborgové mezi přírodou a kulturou
Vratislav Moudr se ve své knize věnuje vztahu přírody a kultury, přičemž vychází z evoluční ontologie Josefa Šmajse, která zdůrazňuje jejich nesourodou povahu. Tuto perspektivu autor textu rozvíjí zavedením konceptu hybridity, jenž umožňuje lépe porozumět strukturám vznikajícím na pomezí těchto dvou řádů. Moudr se zaměřuje nejen na genetické, psychické a ekosystémové hybridy, ale také na roli člověka jako jedinečného hybridu. Člověk pro něj není jen hybridem. Díky transformaci lidské psychiky kulturou, která proniká celou její šíří i hloubkou, ho v textu pojímá jako kyborga. Osobnost člověka je tu chápána jako sociokulturní produkt, kterým kultura člověka disciplinuje a řídí jeho činnost v souladu se svými systémovými zájmy udržovat se v čase a růst.
Kniha představuje nejen pečlivý návrh revize evoluční ontologie, ale zároveň také odpověď na některé výzvy spojené se sociálním konstrukcionalismem. Její autor ukazuje, že zatímco konstrukcionalismus mnohdy rozpouští hranice mezi přírodou a kulturou, přístup evoluční ontologie naopak zdůrazňuje jejich nesourodost a umožňuje uchopit hybridní entity včetně kyborga jako reálné produkty interakce těchto dvou řádů. V souladu s apelem evoluční ontologie kniha volá po zásadní změně směřující k biofilní kultuře, která by respektovala jak konfliktní vztah kultury s přírodou, tak také mimořádné postavení hybridů a člověka v tomto vztahu. Přispívá tak k debatě o udržitelnosti a odpovědnosti za příští generace lidí.
The Desecration of Man
From Christian theologian and historian Carl Trueman, an argument that a blasphemous rejection of Christian anthropology drives the social ills of our time.As church attendance falls, suicide rates climb, and birth rates plummet, Christian pundits have suggested disenchantment and the loss of tradition are to blame for our spiritual malaise. But what if the problem is both much simpler and much more serious?In Desecration of Man, theologian and ecclesial historian Carl Trueman argues that modern man''s crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact ? that he was made in the image of God. Unmoored from the basic moral fact that secures human dignity, we violently disrespect our own minds and bodies through abortion, pornography, casual sex, gender transitions, and more--and in this disrespect we blaspheme against God himself, with devastating practical and spiritual consequences.With gentle pastoral wisdom, deep insight into church history, and an impressive command of philosophical geneologies, The Desecration of Man speaks to those troubled by the spiritual sickness of our time and points toward consecration to a God who is alive and loving as a solution. The Early Church triumphed over Rome because it offered life in place of death. It is time for modern Christians to offer the same kind of vision.

Ukraine’s Move to the West
This book examines the intervention of global elite networks in the context of Ukraine’s EU-IMF deal within the overall ‘Euromaidan moment’ (late 2013–early 2014). It develops an empirically grounded investigation focused on three sets of modalities within the EU-IMF package during this time period – namely, GM agriculture (biotechnology), hydraulic fracking and an internationally enabled regime change – as proposed solutions for urgent problems confronting Ukraine. There is a particular spotlight on the intersections between corporate actors, political players, foundations and think tanks in the reproduction of particular constellations of power between Western (particularly U.S.-based) networks and Ukrainian agents and intermediaries. The complexity of social dynamics allow for multiple forms of power to operate at once in this space of international politics. This book details and analyses how the global elite network operating around Ukraine at this time produced the three unusual outcomes associated with the agreed EU-IMF policy agenda (GM agriculture, fracking and a regime change). It contributes to the analysis of how global elite networks operate and power works in international relations, and also enhances how the tumultuous politics of Ukraine in the current century are understood.The subject of this book is fairly controversial and is a high-profile current political problem. Looking at these issues through the analytical framework of social networks brings forward a welcomed investigation into agency in international studies. The attention to personal and political ties of mutual interdependence differs from more commonly used mainstream accounts of global politics that rely on ‘US versus Russia’ narratives or on corporate elites pursuing business deals. This book shows how close ties of social acquaintance and political-economic compacts prove crucial to understanding how the key issue areas evolved. This book advances the understanding of how power works in international politics, showing how it is built through different forms. It also advances the understanding of how global elite networks are formed and operate, along with specific investigation into the importance of gatekeepers, and thus explains the international political economy of Ukraine at a key moment and should prove invaluable to many academic and popular explanations.
George Washington's One-Man Army
From Brandywine to Yorktown, follow the astonishing real-life journey of the Revolutionary War’s most mythic warrior. “One-Man Army” was George Washington’s nom de guerre for Peter Francisco. Abducted from the Azores and deposited in the colony of Virginia at the age of four, little Pedro Francisco was an orphan from a strange land in the New World. Renamed Peter Francisco, the youngster found a home under indenture to Patrick Henry’s uncle as a blacksmith. Peter was present for Henry’s famous speech, hearing firsthand the words “Give me Liberty or Give me Death.” By the age of fourteen, he would grow to 6 feet-6 inches and 260 pounds. He would fashion himself an apex warrior serving both in the patriot infantry and cavalry. In his capacity as a soldier, Peter Francisco participated in some of the fiercest fighting, witnessed the greatest events, and met an astounding number of luminaries from early America headlined by generals George Washington, Nathanael Greene, and the Marquis de Lafayette. All told, Peter fought in at least ten battles and received six gruesome wounds as he dispatched over 20 enemy soldiers . . . mostly by the bayonet and a 6-foot broadsword commissioned for him by Washington. His feats of courage and strength were legendary as he is reputed to have carried a half-ton cannon from the battlefield at Camden. Postwar, he became a planter and businessman. Endeavoring to educate himself, he overcame illiteracy and developed into a voracious reader. As a veteran, the ”Virginia Giant” was sought out for meetings by the Secretary of State and was received in the home of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was thrice married into Virginia society, a father of six, and a fixture in the Commonwealth serving as Sergeant at Arms for the legislature late in life. Known to all throughout the newly independent thirteen states, Peter Francisco’s exploits were all but lost to history . . . until now.
Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers
Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand-strong military unit, recruited primarily from the Jewish population of Palestine, and the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War. Gianluca Fantoni reconstructs the military and human experience of the brigade in Italy and investigates its enduring and controversial place in memory and public debate. Formed in 1944, the JBG saw combat in the final stages of the Italian campaign, where its soldiers fought with distinction against German forces. After the war, many of its members – who often had little or no military training, and included artists, scientists, and farmers – engaged in clandestine efforts to smuggle Holocaust survivors and weapons into Palestine, laying the groundwork for the future Israeli state. Others sought retribution against Nazis and collaborators in acts that revealed both the trauma of genocide and the desire for justice. Far more than a conventional military history, Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers is both a critical study of the political uses of history and a vivid, passionate narrative that brings to life the men and women of the brigade. Accessible and engaging, this book offers readers a rare lens through which to understand the intersections of war, memory, and politics in twentieth-century Europe.
The Great Repair
The Great Repair explores how Jews and Germans began reparations discussions fewer than seven years after the Holocaust – a momentous achievement relegated to the margins of Holocaust scholarship and memory – and the complexities that emerged from the resulting settlement. Gideon Reuveni illuminates the swift transition and extraordinary chapter in postwar history from the horrors of the Holocaust to a negotiating table where Germans and Jews discussed reparations. Both sides faced the monumental challenge of addressing the injustices of National Socialism through complex deliberations on compensation for collective and individual losses, restitution of property, support for survivors, and formal acknowledgment of Nazi crimes. These negotiations marked a crucial step toward acknowledging historical responsibility and pursuing meaningful redress. The Great Repair reveals the events, actors, and decisions that led to the signing of the agreement on September 10, 1952, by West Germany, Israel, and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. Ultimately, the enactment of this settlement set a global precedent that genocide cannot go unpunished and moral debts must be paid. It was a historic undertaking of immense scope – unmatched in the history of international relations, just as the extermination of the Jewish people was unprecedented in human history.
Inner Zone
Unearths a buried history of retributive violence that unfolded inside besieged SarajevoIn asymmetrical conflicts, how should we acknowledge suffering on the side of the perpetrators of violence? How can we do so without losing sight of the harm they inflicted, and without relativizing the suffering of their victims? Inner Zone introduces a new approach to telling contentious histories of war and explores the political implications of refusing to extend recognition to those who suffer on the "wrong" side of a conflict. Bosnian Serb forces held the city of Sarajevo under siege from 1992 until 1995. Inner Zone revisits this emblematic conflict from the perspective of Bosnian Serb women who remained in the city during the siege years. As Serb civilians came to be associated with the ethno-national aggressor, these women became targets of collective punishment and retribution. The war crimes committed against them have been written out of most academic and journalistic accounts of the war, and in Sarajevo, they have become a public secret. Pluralizing the monolithic story of the siege into zones of violence, Jelena Golubovic locates an inner zone of retribution within the larger outer zone of besiegement, telling a nested history that reconfigures how we think about victimhood and complicity across both sides of a conflict. As Bosnian Serb women tell their previously untold stories through ethnographic interviews, Golubovic remains attentive to the anxious sense of exclusion that haunts them in the postwar city. While their victimization is erased from the dominant narrative of the war in Sarajevo, the Bosnian Serb ethno-nationalist elite emphasize it to claim exclusive victimhood. Inner Zone takes on the challenge of disentangling lived experiences of violence from the grip of ethno-nationalist misappropriation, arguing that a sense of misrecognition and unacknowledged injury can ultimately lead victims of the inner zone of violence to adopt ethno-nationalist narratives and goals.
Empire and Nation in the City
To curb the influence of minority populations and "outside enemies," the Ottoman government implemented new and experimental Tanzimat reforms within the empire’s center and provincial regions. By the 1860s, the city of Rusçuk in present-day Bulgaria and capital of the Ottoman Danube province became a test case for this expansive reform movement within an urbanizing and contested peripheral landscape. In Empire and Nation in the City, Mehmet Çelik traces how the Danube province and Rusçuk, in particular, experienced a series of swift political transitions from a "modernized" Ottoman administration, to a Russian provisional government, and finally to a Bulgarian nation-state. Çelik examines the transformative effects of each political system, arguing that Bulgarian nationalism was not a uniform ideology, but a flexible and mutable one that engaged multiple loyalties—Bulgarian and Ottoman among them. To understand these competing loyalties, he explores the diverse religious and multiethnic makeup of Rusçuk and the multifaceted responses to imperial control, nationalist sympathies, and political movements. Rather than assess Ottoman rule and Bulgarian nationhood as separate periods, Çelik bridges these moments to understand the continuity of Ottoman reforms within a burgeoning Bulgarian nation.
Downward spiral
A forensic examination of ethical failure in the British government. Boris Johnson’s premiership was marked by scandals that deeply undermined public trust, from dubious PPE procurement to the ‘partygate’ revelations. How did this downward spiral take hold, and what would it take to reverse i? ohn Bowers KC offers a rigorous analysis of the erosion of ethical standards before, during and after the Johnson government. Drawing on interviews with insiders, he shows how accountability mechanisms were sidelined and how a culture of favouritism flourished, rooted in the assumption that those in power could be relied upon to regulate themselves. Although the Labour victory of July 2024 brought political change, the underlying system remains vulnerable. Downward Spiral sets out concrete proposals for a more transparent and accountable alternative. -- .
Metra světa
Obyvatelé mnoha velkoměst po celém světě si dnes už neumí představit, že
by významnou součást hromadné dopravy netvořilo i metro. První linka
podzemní dráhy vznikla v Londýně v roce 1863, v roce 1896 následovala
Budapešť a Glasgow. Metro se pak postupně objevilo na všech
kontinentech. Největší boom rozvoje tratí metra dnes zažívá Čína a Indie.
Kniha se věnuje vybraným zajímavým světovým systémům metra, a to jak z
pohledu vedení tratí, tak používaných vozidel, ale i architektury
dopravních staveb. Samozřejmostí je krátký historický úvod i technický
popis systému metra v jednotlivých zemích. Nechybí ani přehled všech
podzemních drah světa s vysvětlivkou, že jde o „tradiční“ metro, nikoliv
například o tratě „lehké železnice“, které se do této oblasti často
mylně zahrnují. Za metro nepovažujeme ani výhradně povrchové tratě
(leckdy také označované jako „metro“), ani kombinované systémy
takzvaných vlakotramvají, u nichž je v podzemí vedena jen určitá část
trati a jsou navíc kompatibilní s ostatní tramvajovou dopravou. V
případě „tradičního“ metra toto vše odpadá, neboť jezdí na vlastní
infrastruktuře s vlastním systémem řízení.

Dvanáct kapitol ze židovské literatury
Dvanáct kapitol ze židovské literatury je vlastně velmi dlouhou procházkou po literární krajině. Knihu lze číst popořadě, protože se řídí časovou osou od biblických dob po současný Izrael, anebo napřeskáčku, jak které období a literární díla čtenáře zajímá, či si v ní jen tak listovat a nechat se inspirovat rozmanitými příběhy z různých časových období. Jako antologie textů by kniha především měla čtenáře vyzvat k tomu, aby po nějaké knize či knihách, blízkých jeho srdci, sáhl a přečetl si je.

Going Off the Rails
A fascinating guide to early train disasters, illustrated through contemporary postcards and explained expertly by John Hannavy. The track record of Britain’s railways in the early 20th century was not a good one – in 1909, a report titled ‘General Report to the Board of Trade upon the Accidents that have occurred on the Railway of the United Kingdom during the year 1908’, was published, concluding that over 1,000 people had died on the railways during the year, and nearly 8,000 others had been injured. With the Edwardian era marking the heyday of the photographic postcard, many of the accidents which occurred were photographed in often-graphic detail and, in the days before photographs in newspapers became commonplace, postcards disseminated those news pictures rapidly across the world. John Hannavy is a writer, photographer and historian, with a lifelong fascination for both postcards and railway history.
Bipolárka
Autorka, která působí jako herečka v Divadle Sklep, se celoživotně potýká s bipolární poruchou. Ve své próze odkrývá autentickou zkušenost s touto psychickou nemocí a otevírá tak ve společnosti stále tabuizované téma.
Kniha je kombinací retrospektivního vyprávění, deníkových záznamů a textů psaných pod vlivem nemoci. Autorka, která je zároveň zkušenou překladatelkou, popisuje tuto problematiku velmi čtivě, s nadsázkou a humorem. Kniha díky tomu zaujme i čtenáře, který s bipolaritou nemá bezprostřední zkušenost.
Součástí knihy je rozsáhlý rozhovor s psychiatrem, vysokoškolským profesorem a ředitelem Národního ústavu duševního zdraví Jiřím Horáčkem.
Háború a múlt ellen
"Kulturális hadjárat zajlik: szobrokat döntenek le, klasszikus műveket írnak át, és történelmi hősöket bélyegeznek meg visszamenőlegesen. Hogyan vált a történelem a múlt feltárása helyett a politikai leszámolások csataterévé?
Frank Füredi szerint korunk egyik legveszélyesebb jelensége nem a jövőtől való félelem, hanem a múlt módszeres démonizálása. A nyugati társadalmak egyre nagyobb része tekinti az örökséget - a hagyományokat, a klasszikus értékeket és a történelmi hősöket - szégyellnivaló tehertételnek, amelyet el kell törölni. A ,,sérelemkutató történetírást" és az erkölcsi anakronizmust felhasználva olyan szellemi óriásokat állítanak az utókor bírósága elé, mint Arisztotelész, Shakespeare vagy Kant.
Füredi kérdésfelvetéseivel közelebb jutunk ahhoz, hogy megértsük, hová vezet a történelemszemlélet radikális átalakulása. Hogyan változtatják a múltat a kollektív szégyen forrásává? Miért mérjük a történelmet mai, gyakran változó erkölcsi mércékkel? Miért nem tudunk irányt mutatni a következő generációnak, ha megtagadjuk az előttünk járók tapasztalatait?"
Slovenské storočie
Knihou Slovenské storočie Pavel Kosatík vystupuje zo svojho doposiaľ prevažujúceho sústredenia na české dejiny. Sleduje vývojový oblúk, ktorý slovenská spoločnosť opísala v rokoch 1918 – 1998, a dochádza k záveru, že Slováci svoj historický čas nepremárnili. Začínali z oveľa horšej štartovacej pozície než Česi, ich verejný a politický život nielenže nemal štruktúru, ale hlavne neexistoval. Na konci 20. storočia sa však táto predtým takmer neexistujúca spoločnosť dokázala zjednotiť a zbavila sa moci velikána s diktátorskými ambíciami. Slovenské storočie je tiež kniha o spoločných česko-slovenských dejinách. Český i slovensky čitateľ v nej nájde odpovede na otázky, aké sily tvorili konkrétne podoby česko-slovenského spolužitia, aj aká je česká zodpovednosť za to, že spoločný život v jednom štáte sa skončil neporozumením.
