Rightless Resistance
Rightless Resistance investigates why resistance to land grabbing so often fails. The rapid expansion of oil palm plantations has triggered widespread conflict across rural Indonesia as communities lose their land with little compensation. Based on an unprecedented study of 150 such conflicts, this book uncovers how villagers fight back against palm oil companies, and what their struggles reveal about power, law, and citizenship in postcolonial Indonesia. Enduring colonial legacies and collusive politics have left rural Indonesians virtually rightless, so villagers turn to customary traditions and social norms instead of formal law – a strategy that rarely gets results. By analyzing this resistance to corporate land grabbing, Ward Berenschot, Ahmad Dhiaulhaq, Afrizal, and Otto Hospes offer a new perspective on why land rights movements often fall short. When the legal system is unreliable, people aim lower—and the deeper power imbalances facilitating their dispossession go unchallenged.
Nature's Great Masterpiece
Although mammoths and straight-tusked elephants once roamed Britain before extinction, and there is reference to Roman war elephants being used in Britain, the first elephant explicitly recorded arrived in 1255 as a gift to King Henry III. The creature was kept in the Tower of London and was a source of wonder and entertainment: the role the elephant would play in Britain from that time on.In A History of Elephants in Britain, author Barclay Price takes the reader on a fascinating exploration of the animal’s associations with Britain through the ages. He charts mediaeval views of the first elephants seen, the early menageries and circuses and performing elephants to famous elephants such as Jumbo in Victorian London, elephants in popular culture and representations in public sculptures and paintings. Full with unusual tales and fascinating facts, this well-researched history will introduce readers to the fascinating history of elephants in Britain up to the twenty-first century.
Doubt, Hope, Action
Doubt, Hope, Action is Uffe Elbak’s journey in search of hope and an invitation to a gentle revolution. In this thoughtful and provocative book, Elbak explores many of the challenges and contradictions that define our time – especially the urgent question: What kind of world are we leaving for future generation? hapter by chapter Elbak confronts the planetary endgame we face. A collapse of both outer and inner structures. From climate collapse, epidemics and violent social, political and technological conflicts, through the weakening of democratic institutions, right-wing radicalisation and fighting over resources, to regional warfare and the reemergence of something looking very much like old-fashioned imperialism. He refuses to accept despair. Why? Because he knows that another world is possible. And that it is already here in the values-driven entrepreneurs, democratic businesses, citizen groups, cooperatives, cultural initiatives, organic farming collectives and a whole new generation of progressive political voices. Every one of them is a pledge that a green, democratic, post-capitalist society is possible. Blending sharp social analysis with heartfelt optimism, Doubt, Hope, Action urges progressive movements and all people to recognise their shared purpose—and to unite, mobilise, and act. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.
Psychedelika a duše
Mytologická cesta deseti archetypy psychedelického léčení: starodávné příběhy, konkrétní nástroje a vhledy hlubinné psychologie.
Kniha Psychedelika a duše je koncipována pro novou generaci psychedelických průvodců a hledajících. Vzývá tradice jungovské hlubinné psychologie, mytologii a moudrost domorodých kultur, aby dokázala odpovědět na zásadní otázku naší doby: Jak může nově vznikající obor psychedelické medicíny uzdravit duši v době planetární krize a zároveň kolektivní příležitosti?
Psychedelický terapeut Simon Yugler ve své první knize utkal mytopoetickou tapiserii zkoumající deset univerzálních témat, jež přesahují naše osobní zkušenosti:
Studna: Nevědomí, symbolika a mytické neznámo
Chrám: Nad rámec vnitřního a vnějšího nastavení
Podsvětí: Stín, žal a sestup do duše
Had: Psychedelická somatika a svlékání kůže
Netvor: Trauma, vyhnanství a rána, která se zahojí
Šibal: Marginalita, křižovatky a liminální cesta
Průvodce: Moc, autenticita a vnitřní autorita
Posvátná hora: Vize, extáze a stávání se nikým
Strom života: Animismus, změna klimatu a Země mající duši
Cesta domů: Integrace, společenství a tanec s vesnicí
Každý archetyp působí jako prizma, které prostřednictvím mýtů, bájných příběhů a univerzální moudrosti odráží směrem ke čtenáři kolektivní zkušenosti a nevědomé pravdy, jež formují naši psychiku – a jež se díky psychedelikům stávají hlubokomyslnějšími a přístupnějšími. Simon Yugler se s námi dělí o zkušenosti, jak entheogeny a rostlinná medicína otevírají bránu k porozumění naší kultuře, nám samým a propojené realitě, a jak můžeme směřovat i k možnému uzdravení společnosti či celé planety.

The remarkable photographs are arranged by day and month, juxtaposed with informative captions that offer notes on the animal, its behaviour, the role it plays within its local ecosystem, and where and when it can best be viewed.

New Kids in the World Cup
In 1990 a fearless group of players changed the sport of soccer in the United States forever. Young, bronzed, and mulleted, they were America's finest athletes in a sport their country loved to hate. Even sportswriters rooted against them. Yet this team defied massive odds and qualified for the World Cup, making possible America's current obsession with the world's most popular game. Back then players earned twenty dollars a day, the crowds at home games cheered for their opponents, and the fields were often mismarked. In Latin America the U.S. team bus had a machine gun turret mounted on the back, locals sabotaged their hotels, and in the stadiums spectators rained coins, batteries, and plastic bags of urine down on the U.S. players. The world considered the U.S. team impostors. Yet on the biggest stage of all, in the 1990 World Cup, this undaunted American squad and their wise coach earned the adoration of Italy's star players and their fans in a gladiator-like match in Rome's deafening Stadio Olimpico. From windswept soccer fields in the U.S. heartland to the CIA-infested cauldron of Central America and the Caribbean, behind the recently toppled Iron Curtain and into the great European soccer cathedrals, New Kids in the World Cup is the origin story of modern American men's soccer. It's the true adventure of America's most important soccer team—and the one that made America finally fall in love with soccer.

Bad Chemistry
The death of a brilliant young scientist in the department of chemistry at Cambridge shocks both the university and the town. As the police scramble to investigate, Gillian Adams, in Cambridge for the summer, finds herself in the midst of the enquiry. Adams, a historian from Canada, is both linked to the victim by old friends and to the Cambridge police by her affair with Scotland Yard detective chief inspector Edward Gisborne. Venomous professional rivalries and a clandestine affair are only two of the possible explanations for the murder. When a second body turns up there appears to be no connection. Yet everybody knows that if the two deaths can be tied, the thread will lead to the murderer. In this compelling story, Nora Kelly, author of In The Shadow of King''s, takes a new look at ''town and gown'', showing us a Cambridge in which science, contemporary mores and old traditions produce a volatile mix.
Porsche 911
When Porsche introduced the first 911 – designated initially “Type 901” – at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, it immediately captivated enthusiasts across the globe. Six decades and eight generations later, the 911 remains the definitive symbol of the marque, celebrated for its unmistakable silhouette, remarkable versatility, thrilling performance, and pioneering technology. Alongside the series-production cars, Porsche has pursued the creation of the extraordinary: limited editions, special commissions, and competition machines. These are the 911s that stand apart – the truly exceptional models. Among them are the 2.2 ST, which claimed a double victory at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, and the legendary 1972 Carrera RS, often hailed as the greatest Porsche ever built, its iconic “ducktail” spoiler etched forever in automotive history. Some rarities exist as single, unique creations, like the Carrera S “1 Million,” crafted to honor the millionth 911 to leave Zuffenhausen. In this volume, renowned Porsche authority Sylvain Reisser presents the whole panorama of these extraordinary machines – from the pioneering 911 R of 1967 to the exclusive Spirit 70 of 2025. Seventy-five singular models, each a milestone in its own right, come together here to tell the story of how the 911 became not just a sports car, but a legend – and the most collectible Porsche of all time.

Symbolika hebrejských znaků
Symbolika hebrejských znaků je jeden nekonečný chasidský příběh, který prostě stojí za to poznat. Ne nadarmo se stala také pevnou součástí a zároveň kořením talmudu, midrašů i kabalistické literatury – jak středověké, tak té současné. A poznat symboly jednotlivých znaků a jejich vzájemné souvztažnosti může dnešnímu čtenáři zároveň přiblížit biblický text ve zcela nových (nebo lépe řečeno staronových) souvislostech. Navíc si ověří, že tu nejde o nějaké biblické kódy, čarování s čísly nebo znásilňování textu, ale o vypracovaný systém znaků vycházející z nejstarších tradic lidstva, přírody a vesmíru. Není vyloučeno, že některým se předkládaná kniha stane dokonce vstupenkou k hlubšímu poznání jazyka bible.
Rady svätej Rity pre teba
„Nikto nesmie ostať sám, najmä pri prežívaní ťažkostí bežného dňa.“
Svätá Rita z Cascie nie je len patrónkou neriešiteľných situácií, ale aj blízkou priateľkou, ktorá rozumie hĺbke ženského srdca. Kniha, ktorú zostavili sestry augustiniánky priamo z Kláštora v Cascii, je duchovným sprievodcom napísaným pre ženy, ktoré hľadajú útechu, silu a nové smerovanie.
Rita, ktorá sama prešla cestou manželky, matky i vdovy, sa v týchto riadkoch prihovára každej žene prechádzajúcej náročným obdobím. Texty sú rozdelené do troch kľúčových oblastí:
• materstvo – ako s trpezlivosťou a láskou zvládať výchovu a každodenné obety;
• strata a smútok – cesta premeny bolesti zo straty blízkych na nádej a odovzdanosť;
• sila modlitby – praktická škola úprimného rozhovoru s Bohom uprostred povinností.
Rady svätej Rity pre teba sú písané ako dôverný rozhovor s múdrou spoločníčkou. Je to kniha, ktorá vás podrží v momentoch neistoty, keď máte pocit, že vaše bremeno je príliš ťažké. Pozýva kráčať po „ceste ruží“, ktorá – hoci má tŕne – vedie k nádhernému cieľu.
