Animal Nightlife
Vikram, Ravi and Sean, childhood friends from south London, seem to be the only ones who have noticed that they have wings. As adults and ''multiples'' - their hybrid human/animal forms - they are all now dealing with the personal and political fallout of what is turning out to be an unexpectedly turbulent present in which ''singulars'' - narrow-minded, non-syncretic - are the ones making the weather. It feels like a dangerous time for anyone deemed an outsider. Human society has rarely been this reckless or rapacious, and the fragile ecosystem holding together all the unlikely alliances of ''animal nightlife'' has been placed in mortal danger. Consumerism, greed, violence, and prejudice of every kind are ranged against the brave souls taking a stand by lining the telegraph wires as a final showdown draws ever closer.

The Animal and the Thinker
Why are we so often in conflict?arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are what we need from our lives?In The Animal and the Idea, the world-leading, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan explains that each of us is not just one person – we are two. On one side are our animal instincts, built on the sophisticated needs of human life through evolution, but struggling to navigate the complexity of modern life. On the other side is our rational brain which calculates and cogitates, but is often helpless in the face of bigger questions of meaning and purpose.Dovetailing these two competing sides of ourselves, Duncan draws on a lifetime’s pioneering work to attack puzzles that have concerned thinkers, writers and philosophers through human history. Right and wrong. Freedom and responsibility. Women and men. Democracy and justice. Ambition and fulfilment. Understanding how these two sides of ourselves interact offers revealing and often surprising answers to some of the great questions of our lives.Discover a new perspective on human behaviour, and learn how we can better understand ourselves, our struggles, and our search for meaning.

Ourika, Édouard, and Olivier
''I have no secrets; my unhappiness is the story of my entire life.''A key figure in the literary world of post-Revolutionary Paris, Claire de Duras was a writer of exceptional talent, admired by Sainte-Beuve and Goethe, imitated by Stendhal, and influencing later writers such as Fromentin, Ourika describes the discrimination suffered by a young Black woman brought up in an aristocratic French family, her unconscious adoption of this racial disdain, and her redemption by faith. Édouard charts the impossibility of the bourgeois hero''s love for the daughter of the aristocratic family into which he has been adopted on his parents'' death. In the epistolary Olivier, the two central protagonists, clearly in love, are nevertheless prevented from marriage by Olivier''s secret. Now accepted as integral to French Romanticism and the history of women''s writing, the narratives showcase Duras''s empathy with the exceptional, the outcast, and the victims of social injustice, providing pioneering studies in race, class, and sexuality. Chris Miller''s new translations into English are accompanied by an introduction and notes by Pratima Prasad, highlighting major themes in the texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Perimenopauza másképp
A Menopauza másképp New York Times-bestsellerlistás szerzője tabuk nélkül beszél mindarról, amit nőként tudnunk kell, hogy magabiztosan és felkészülten élhessük meg a perimenopauza gyakran félrediagnosztizált és orvosilag elhanyagolt éveit.
„Egyszerűen nem ismerek magamra!” – Nők millióinak ismerős ez az érzés. Bár a menopauzába való átmenet kiindulópontjának általában a menstruáció rendszertelenné válását és az ezzel együtt járó testi-lelki hullámvasút megindulását tekintik, a valóságban már akár 35 éves kortól, rendszeres ciklus mellett is felbukkanhatnak az első jelek: szorongás, kimerültség, ízületi fájdalom, agyi köd, alvászavarok, szexuális problémák, kiszámíthatatlan hangulatingadozások. Ez a sokféle tünet rendkívül megterhelő lehet, különösen ha az orvosok csak legyintenek rájuk, és elintézik azzal, hogy ez „csupán stressz”, vagy „csak beképzeli magának a tüneteket” – miközben valójában komoly hormonális átrendeződés zajlik a szervezetben.
A Perimenopauza másképp lapjain dr. Mary Claire Haver, a nők egészségügyi szemléletváltásának úttörője végre világos, tudományosan alátámasztott válaszokat ad. Közérthetően bemutatja, mi zajlik a szervezetben ebben az időszakban, és azt is elmagyarázza, hogyan fordíthatjuk ezt a hormonális káoszt a javunkra.
Hiánypótló, lendületes és gyakorlatias útmutatója segít, hogy
• megértsük, pontosan mi is történik a testünkben a ciklusváltozásoktól az energiaszint, a hangulat, az alvás és a szexuális egészség válozásaiig;
• felismerjük, hogy a most meghozott döntések alkotják a későbbi egészségünk alapjait;
• felkészülten és határozottan kommunikálhassunk az orvossal ellenőrzőlisták és konkrét kérdések segítségével;
• el tudjunk igazodni a legfrissebb kutatások között, különös tekintettel a hormonterápia előnyeire és lehetséges mellékhatásaira.
Akár tapasztalsz már tüneteket, akár csak szeretnél előre gondolkodni, ez a könyv feltárja a perimenopauza kevésbé ismert összefüggéseit, és visszaadja az irányítást a tested és az egészséged felett.

Originálne spracovaná publikácia sa zaoberá inštitútom predzmluvnej zodpovednosti, jeho historickým vývojom a následnou analýzou tohto inštitútu v Nemecku, Rakúsku, Českej republike, Poľsku, Francúzsku, pričom nie sú vynechané ani štáty riadiace sa systémom common law.

Monografia je určená najmä právnikom a akademikom, no bude cenným prínosom pre každého, koho daná téma zaujíma.
„Zhŕňajúcu osobitnú pridanú hodnotu monografie možno vidieť v interdisciplinárnom presahu autora, ktorý prepája právnu dogmatiku s historickými, filozofickými a komparatívnymi aspektmi. Kvalitu spracovania podporuje rozsiahla práca s domácou aj zahraničnou literatúrou, judikatúrou a právnymi prameňmi.“
doc. Mgr. et Mgr. Matej Mlkvý, PhD., LL.M.
„Autor prokazuje znalost pandektního práva i pozdější doktrinální diskusi, a dokáže tyto poznatky přesvědčivě interpretovat a aplikovat na současné otázky. Zvláště cenné je, že se nevyhýbá ani složitějším interpretačním problémům a ukazuje na úskalí snahy o exaktní a taxativní vymezení odpovědnosti.“
