The City Among Cities
An original interpretation of Aristotle's political thought focusing on war and peace. With the post–Cold War international order under stress, Stephen P. Sims reconsiders the relationship between war, peace, and politics by returning to the thought of Aristotle. The City Among Cities offers new ways of thinking about Aristotle, connecting his themes of inequality—such as slavery or aristocracy—to his observations on war and hegemonic politics. By contrasting Aristotle's approach with the foundational theories of international relations, Sims argues that hierarchy and coercion are permanent features of political life that democratic nations ignore at their own peril.
Maurice Blanchot
Investigates permutations of the terror to examine the complex political and intellectual transformation of literary theorist and novelist Maurice Blanchot between 1933 and 1949. Between 1933 and 1949 Maurice Blanchot's writings underwent a rather infamous political and critical transformation. Its overarching trope is the terror, which features prominently in his work in 1936, 1941, and 1947. The terror is a reflexive discourse about whether language is bound to reality, and so forceful, or merely a series of empty signs. Marty Hiatt provides an in-depth study of Blanchot's political and critical writings from this period, elaborating his various reckonings with the terror so as to demonstrate the categorical nature of his intellectual shift. Blanchot first calls for an insurrection that would violently expurgate the foreign and execute a Jewish prime minister in order to save France. After the Fall of France, he develops an account of how terror and rhetoric dialectically constitute literature as world construction and world destruction. In his first postwar encounter with Hegel, he links this conception back to history by arguing that it corresponds to revolution. He also doubles the dialectical account of revolutionary history through an account of poetic language that makes contact with an unknowable substrate of existence, resulting in a kind of absolute ambiguity, and seeks to explore and inhabit a form of negativity beyond revolution.
Inscriptions of Wisdom
Two important texts in the Sufi tradition made available together in English for the first time. Inscriptions of Wisdom brings together, for the first time in English, two pivotal Sufi texts that illuminate Ibn al-?Arabi's (d. 1240) celebrated work F? ? al-?ikam. The first, Naqsh al-F? ? (the Inscription of the F? ?), is Ibn al-?Arabi's own distillation of F? ? al-?ikam, presenting a concise yet profound articulation of its core teachings. The second, Naqd al-n? ? fi shar? Naqsh al-F? ? (texts commenting on Naqsh al-F? ?), by ?Abd al-R? an Jami, is an anthology of carefully selected passages from the earliest and most authoritative interpreters of F? ? al-?ikam, enriched with Jami's own insights. Together, these works explore the quintessential knowledge and divine principles embodied by each of the twenty-seven major prophetic figures of the Islamic tradition, from Adam to Muhammad. If F? ? al-?ikam represents the culmination of Ibn al-?Arabi's thought, then Naqsh al-F? ? distills its very essence and inner mystery. Mukhtar H. Ali's meticulous presentation of the F? ? al-?ikam commentarial tradition—featuring the first complete English translation of Jami's Naqd al-n? ?, chapter-by-chapter analysis, and extensive notes on key Sufi terms and concepts—establishes this volume as a landmark study in Islamic metaphysics and Sufi thought.
A Scourge of Humanity
As the First World War came to a chaotic end, Europeans feared that a wave of crime and anarchy would sweep across their continent. The upheavals of the war and of the subsequent violent breakup of the Habsburg, German, and Ottoman empires magnified longstanding fears that an increasingly interconnected world offered the enterprising and unscrupulous new opportunities to break the law and evade capture. New kinds of international criminals and criminal enterprises demanded novel forms of international cooperation. Thus was born the International Criminal Police Commission, known today as Interpol. In the 1920s and 1930s, Interpol''s police officials and the lawyers who collaborated with them created lasting programs to combat counterfeiting, sex and drug trafficking, terrorism, and human smuggling, and other forms of international crime, which they labelled "a scourge of humanity." Drawing on press reports, police files, and criminal records in numerous languages and across multiple countries, David Petruccelli explores the origins of Interpol and the role Central and Eastern European actors played in developing criminal policing and law during the interwar period to bring stability to their region and reshape international institutions and norms. He shows how legal experts replaced a liberal focus on individual rights with an emphasis on a collective of international societies and of police officers who looked to the international sphere as a space for eluding the constraints of the rule of law at home. In doing so, their initiatives posed an alternative to the imperial and liberal internationalist programs pursued by many Western Europeans and Americans and laid the groundwork for more radical forms of persecution during the Second World War. While bringing to life the stories of individuals involved in shady activities across borders, A Scourge of Humanity explores the vigorous policing and harsh criminal laws established by Interpol to combat their crimes and highlights illiberal forms of internationalism that have left a lasting mark on our world.
Confucianism
To understand China, it is essential to understand Confucianism. First formulated in the sixth century BCE, the teachings of Confucius would come to dominate Chinese society, politics, economics, and ethics. In this Very Short Introduction, Daniel K. Gardner explores the major philosophical ideas of the Confucian tradition, showing their profound impact on state ideology and imperial government, the civil service examination system, domestic life, and social relations over the course of twenty-six centuries. Gardner focuses on two of the Sage''s most crucial philosophical problems-what makes for a good person, and what constitutes good government-and demonstrates the enduring significance of these questions today. This volume shows the influence of the Sage''s teachings over the course of Chinese history--on state ideology, the civil service examination system, imperial government, the family, and social relations--and the fate of Confucianism in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as China developed alongside a modernizing West and Japan. Some Chinese intellectuals attempted to reform the Confucian tradition to address new needs; others argued for jettisoning it altogether in favor of Western ideas and technology; still others condemned it angrily, arguing that Confucius and his legacy were responsible for China''s feudal, ''''backward'''' conditions in the twentieth century and launching campaigns to eradicate its influences. Yet Chinese continue to turn to the teachings of Confucianism for guidance in their daily lives. In addition to a survey of the philosophy and history of Confucianism, Gardner offers an examination of the resurgence of Confucianism in China today, and explores what such a revival means for the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

A testbeszéd enciklopédiája - Hogyan fejtsük meg az embereket a gesztusaik alapján?
Mondanivalónkat a beszéden kívül gesztusaink, arcjátékunk, testtartásunk - összefoglaló nevükön a testbeszédünk - közvetíti, erősíti meg vagy cáfolja. Aki ennek tudatában van, az sokkal hatékonyabban kommunikál. Ha érti és érzékeli ezeket a sokatmondó jeleket, lényegesen többet tudhat meg a másik szándékáról, mint ha csupán a szavaira hagyatkozna.
A világhírű szerzőpáros, Allan és Barbara Pease legújabb könyvükben élvezetes, közérthető stílusban foglalják össze az alapvető tudnivalókat a testbeszédről. Ne feledjük: miközben elsajátítjuk a testbeszéd tudományát, apránként jobban megértjük saját viselkedésünket is.
A testbeszéd enciklopédiája a kereskedők, menedzserek, üzletkötők, állásinterjúra készülők elengedhetetlen kézikönyve, de hasznos lehet az élet bármely területén: otthon, randevún vagy a munkahelyen.
Kiáradt - A Tisza útja a győzelemig
2026. április 12-én Magyarország történelmet írt. Tizenhat év Orbán-rendszer után a Magyar Péter vezette Tisza Párt megnyerte az országgyűlési választásokat - és ezzel új esélyt adott az országnak, hogy visszatérjen a demokrácia útjára.
A győzelem a lehetetlen határát súrolta. Orbán Viktor és pártja a teljes állami apparátust, a titkosszolgálatokat, a másfél évtized alatt kiépített propagandagépezetet és gyakorlatilag korlátlan anyagi erőforrásait mozgósította. A Tiszának mindössze a változásra vágyók lelkesedéséből kellett építkeznie.
Ez a könyv a Tisza-kampány történetét meséli el. Azt, hogy hogyan nőtt ki a kegyelmi botrányból egy olyan politikai mozgalom, amely letarolta a teljes ellenzéki mezőnyt, és végül legyőzte magát Orbán Viktort is.
Magyar Péter története azonban nem csak a magyar politika története. A kampány megmutatta azt is, hogy a perszonalizált politika korszakában minden megváltozott: a hagyományos pártstruktúrák, az aktivisták száma, sőt, az anyagi erőforrások is sokkal kevesebbet számítanak, mint gondoltuk. A 2026-os választási kampány megismerésén keresztül megérthetjük a modern politika működését is, annak minden izgalmával - és árnyoldalával.
A Kiáradt - A Tisza útja a győzelemig a 2024-2026-os időszak legfontosabb politikai eseményeinek története - még soha nem hallott részletekkel, fordulópontokkal, és az ezek mögött húzódó okok és hatások közérthető, de alapos politikai elemzésével.
"Ez vagy nagyot megy, vagy lufi lesz" - írta az egyik legelső kommentelő a Partizán induló élő közvetítése alá Youtube-on, miközben az interjúalanyon még a mikroportot igazítgatták. Aztán megjelent a képernyőn Magyar Péter: ingben és nyakkendőben, nyugodt hangon, magabiztosan ült Gulyás Márton műsorvezetővel szemben. Már a beköszönése valami mást ígért, mint amit eddig látott az ellenzék. Pontosan úgy nézett ki és azt a viselkedést hozta, amit a rendszer bukására vágyó közönség tudat alatt elvárt egy kiábrándult fideszestől. Érződött rajta, hogy jobboldali közegből jön, hogy nincs meg benne az a tipikus ellenzéki DNS, ami miatt a korábbi ellenzéki vezetők rendre idegenül hatottak a választók jelentős részére.

Antisemitisms
Why do Jews continue to serve as targets of hatred – and how coherent is the idea of antisemitism itself? In Antisemitisms, Sander L. Gilman argues that such hatreds are less stable and more opportunistic than is often assumed. Tracing fantasies of Jewish difference – from appearance and biology to citizenship, nationhood and ‘self-hatred’ – he reveals how contradictory ideas have been used to justify exclusion and violence. This book moves beyond the familiar frameworks such as ‘eternal hatred’ to show how antisemitic and even philosemitic attitudes shift to suit changing political needs. As violence against Jews is on the rise once more, Gilman offers a clear, sobering account of what’s at stake.
Marzia
From her childhood in Puli Khumri, Afghanistan, to her courageous advocacy on the global stage today, Judge Marzia Babakarkhail weaves together deeply personal stories that resonate with international audiences. Marzia: A Judge's Fight for Afghan Women's Rights takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through the stark realities of life under Taliban rule following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021—navigating checkpoints, relying on secret networks, and making high-stakes decisions in moments where every second mattered. Through vivid storytelling, Marzia brings to life the fear that gripped so many, as well as the resilience that carried her and countless others forward. As a former judge and advocate, Marzia's commitment to justice never wavered, even in the face of threats, exile, and unimaginable pressure. Her story is not merely one of survival, but also of determination and strength. It reflects the broader struggle faced by women throughout Afghanistan, particularly those in the legal system who risked everything to uphold the rule of law and protect others' rights. Through Marzia's journey, this book stands as a tribute to the International Association of Women Judges, honoring countries, governments, organizations, and individuals who refused to stay silent. It is a call to remember, to act, and to stand in solidarity with Afghanistan—especially with its women of justice, whose bravery and unwavering spirit continue to inspire the world. This is not just Marzia's story—it is the story of a movement, of resistance, and of hope in the darkest of times.
Treaty Ground
Charles W. A. Prior offers a new account of the sovereign claims of Native Americans, the Crown, and colonies in early America, arguing that Native American diplomacy shaped how sovereignty was negotiated and contested among all three, from Virginia's founding to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Previous scholars have focused on the contested relationship between the British imperial state and the colonies it established along the Atlantic Coast without addressing how sovereign Native nations shaped the colonial process through warfare, diplomacy, trade, peace-making, and treaty-making. Prior adopts a new interpretive framework for examining sovereignty in early America, arguing that the Native and colonial spaces of the Northeast were a treaty ground thickly layered with agreements and negotiated rules of interaction. Drawing on an extensive range of treaty records, writings on colonial and imperial affairs, letters, and official documents, Treaty Ground argues that sovereignty was negotiated within diplomacy and shaped the norms of war, the terms of peace and alliances, the rightful ownership of territory, and appropriate responses to treaty violations. This process in turn structured relations between the Crown and colonies and framed initial positions on how the power of congress related to that of the states. Treaty Ground offers historical depth to our understanding of how Native nations articulated Indigenous power within colonialism, cuts settler colonialism down to size, and expands contemporary understandings of the sovereign relationships between Native nations in the United States and Canada.
Modernity in Perspective
Draws on the work of the Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa to offer an alternative to Cartesian subjectivity. The normative history of modernity begins with the Renaissance and the invention of linear perspective, which places man, instead of God, at the center of the world. The vanishing point of linear perspective portrays the world from the perspective of the single right eye of a singular subject, and it is this perspective that inspired Descartes's optics and his isolated cogito as the prime example of modern subjectivity. This book returns to the invention of linear perspective to seek another interpretation, offering an alternative to the Cartesian subject. Using the work of Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa, Arianne Conty traces an alternative genealogy of the modern subject, one that allows the world, and the painting, to return our gaze. In elucidating the critique of the Cartesian subject by twentieth-century philosophers Benjamin, Heidegger, Lacan, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Marion, she asks how modernity could be reconceived if philosophers were to take into account the geometric vision of Nicolas of Cusa and how his alternative vision might enable us to escape narcissism and share our world with the absolute other.
Riots and Rebels
The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers. Riots and Rebels is an examination of how they have exercised that power over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza. From the so-called Peasants' Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887's Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain.
Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet
In his final days in office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt invited dozens of friends to the White House for lunch. They had never met as a group, but they had one thing in common: Each played tennis with the president and advised on policy matters. Roosevelt half-joked that the public would never know how much these tennis partners did to make his administration a success. Journalists dismissively called them the "Tennis Cabinet," making light of their contribution, but Roosevelt knew otherwise. This inner circle led the administration's campaigns against corporate greed, investigated public health violations, and formulated consumer protections. They founded environmental conservation policies, prosecuted civil rights violations, and implemented bureaucratic efficiencies that saved the government billions. Roosevelt's tennis mates shaped the nation's diplomacy, ending wars and promoting American interests abroad. Never had a more eclectic group advised a U.S. president. The Tennis Cabinet included legendary frontier lawman Seth Bullock and the starched-shirt corporate lawyer Henry Stimson, who served in five presidential administrations. Texas wolf wrangler Jack Abernathy played with stuffy bureaucrats like Labor Commissioner Charles Patrick Neill and social activist James Bronson Reynolds. The French ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand spun yarns with football hero George Washington Woodruff and Roosevelt's college friend and banker Robert Bacon. James Garfield, namesake son of a martyred president, sipped mint juleps with Supreme Court Justice William Henry Moody. And J. P. Morgan's silver-spooned son-in-law Herbert Satterlee kept company with rugged soldier Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly. For all their differences, these men shared a desire to help the president transform the nation from a parochial nineteenth-century republic into an imperial and industrial global power. They have escaped the attention of reporters and historians only because of Roosevelt's towering celebrity. Turning away from Roosevelt as the singular force behind his administration, it is possible to see how the contributions of his Tennis Cabinet quietly sowed the seeds of the American Century.
A bukás előtt - Hitler évei a Farkasveremben
"Küldetése végén Hitler a népével együtt romba döntötte a kontinenst."
A második világháború egyik legfontosabb helyszíne a kelet-poroszországi Rastenburg, a mai lengyelországi Kętrzyn közelében található Führer-főhadiszállás, a "Farkasverem (Wolfsschanze)". A Szovjetunió megtámadása után Hitler itt töltötte a legtöbb időt. Itt döntöttek az európai zsidók szisztematikus kiirtásáról. Itt történt 1944. július 20-án a Stauffenberg-merénylet, amelyet a diktátor könnyebb sérülésekkel túlélt. Noha maga a név sokak számára fogalom, mégis kevesen ismerik magát a létesítményt, és kevesen tudnak arról, mi is történt itt három és fél év alatt.
Felix Bohr kortárs tanúk beszámolói alapján rekonstruálja a Farkasverem hétköznapjait. Leírását alapvető kérdésekhez kapcsolja: mit lehet megtudni a tisztek, szakácsnők és inasok beszámolóiból Hitler személyiségéről? Hogyan befolyásolták az eldugott komplexum egyre kaotikusabbá váló körülményei és paranoid légköre az itt meghozott döntéseket? Bohr sűrű leírásából megismerhetjük a nemzetiszocialista rezsim legfelsőbb szintjét, amint teázás és erdei séták közben megtervezi az emberiségellenes bűncselekményeket.
The Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement was among the most important historical developments of the twentieth century and one of the most remarkable mass movements in American history. Not only did it decisively change the legal and political status of African Americans, but it prefigured as well the moral premises and methods of struggle for other historically oppressed groups seeking equal standing in American society. And, yet, despite a vague, sometimes begrudging recognition of its immense import, more often than not the movement has been misrepresented and misunderstood. For many, a singular moment, frozen in time at the Lincoln Memorial, sums up much of what Americans and the world know about that remarkable decade of struggle. In The Civil Rights Movement: A Very Short Introduction, Thomas C. Holt provides an informed and nuanced understanding of the origins, character, and objectives of the mid-twentieth-century freedom struggle, privileging the aspirations and initiatives of the ordinary, grassroots people who made it. Holt conveys a sense of these developments as a social movement, one that shaped its participants even as they shaped it. He emphasizes the conditions of possibility that enabled the heroic initiatives of the common folk over those of their more celebrated leaders. This groundbreaking book reinserts the critical concept of "movement" back into our image and understanding of the Civil Rights Movement.

Kategória Odborná a populárno-náučná literatúra zahŕňa knihy a texty, ktoré poskytujú informácie a odborné znalosti v rôznych odboroch. Táto kategória sa líši od beletristickej literatúry a zameriava sa na vedomostný prínos.
Odborná literatúra obsahuje podrobné informácie, teórie a výskum v rôznych oblastiach ako veda, medicína, technológia, právo, ekonomika a psychológia. Populárno-náučná literatúra je prístupnejšia verejnosti a zaujímavo prezentuje tématické úseky, históriu, biografie a vedecké objavy.
