A-Z of Colchester


Colchester is popularly the oldest recorded city in England, dating from before the Roman invasion. Under the Romans, Camulodunum, as it was known, was a major city. Later, Saxon settlers and the Normans used Roman ruins for their buildings, not least for the Norman castle. During the late Middle Ages Colchester became rich again on the wool trade and by the eighteenth century became known as a garrison town. Today, Colchester is at the heart of a fast-growing area and was awarded city status in 2022. A–Z of Colchester reveals the history behind the city, its streets and buildings, industries, and the people connected with it. Alongside the famous historical connections are unusual characters, tucked-away places and unique events that are less well known. Readers will discover tales of scandal, clockmakers, radicals, the Great British Earthquake of 1883 which destroyed many local buildings, and zedonks in Colchester Zoo, among many other fascinating facts in this A–Z tour of Colchester’s history. Fully illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in this ancient Essex city.

Zlomené duše


Tato kniha vznikla na základě autorova přesvědčení, že nikdo nemůže zůstat lhostejný k utrpení zneužívaných duší a rozvrácených komunit. Snoubí se v ní zkušenost dlouhé tradice mnišského života a solidní teologie zasvěceného života s pozorným nasloucháním konkrétnímu utrpení. Převor Velké kartouzy a generální představený kartuziánského řádu Dom Dysmas de Lassus v ní nabízí podnětnou diagnózu, která pomáhá rozpoznat nebezpečí některých duchovních praktik i forem vedení komunit. Zároveň předkládá pozitivní a velmi vyváženou vizi, umožňující osobní i společný růst v úctě k člověku i v kontinuitě s katolickou tradicí. Autor pokládá za nezbytné upřednostnit hlas obětí – tato kniha je jedním ze způsobů, jak jim dát najevo, že je církev slyšela a vzala jejich slova zcela vážně. Kniha ale není určena jen jim, je věnována také všem řeholníkům a řeholnicím a všem věřícím a nabízí osvědčené způsoby, jak vést zdravý duchovní a komunitní život a s bdělostí a moudrostí předcházet všem možným excesům.

The Political Economy of Security


The complex and multifaceted relationship between economic factors and conflictIn this book, Stephen Brooks provides a systematic empirical and theoretical examination of how economic factors influence security affairs. Empirically, he analyzes how economic variables of all kinds affect interstate war, terrorism, and civil war; in total, sixteen pathways are examined. Brooks shows that the relationship between economic factors and conflict is complex and multifaceted; discrete economic factors—such as international trade, economic development, and globalized manufacturing, to name a few—are sometimes helpful for promoting peace and stability, but at other times are detrimental. Brooks also develops a stronger theoretical foundation for guiding future research on the economics-security interaction. Drawing on Adam Smith, he provides a more complete range of answers to the three key conceptual questions analysts must consider: how economic goals relate to security goals; what economic factors to focus on; and how economic actors influence security policies. Combining an innovative theoretical understanding with empirical rigor, Brooks’s account will reshape our understanding of the political economy of security.
