The Future in our Past
The Future in Our Past tells the story of the 1926 General Strike on its centenary. It is a compelling on-the-ground account of how workers brought the country to a standstill for nine extraordinary days. Callum Cant and Matthew Lee take us on a journey through a Britain living on its nerves, from the London docklands to the South Wales coalfields and the railways and warehouses of middle England. Churchill feared that labour militancy presaged a Bolshevik-style revolution. The question of power hung in the air as rank-and-file militants pursued a chaotic, improvised and wildly uneven confrontation with the British ruling class. This is social history at its most immediate and relevant. Cant and Lee revisit the communities where the struggle burned brightest, uncovering the lessons the General Strike holds for labour movements today.
The Mineral Reset
From the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, a guide to the importance of mineral replenishment for optimal health and how to restore the minerals your body needs to function at its best. Minerals are the substrate of literally everything in the galaxy, even the universe. They are the building blocks and fuel, for all cellular life. Without minerals life would cease to exist and in fact, our own bodies would stop functioning, within hours. It’s amazing that the most basic understanding of something so fundamental to life is not taught, or even thought much about by even the most educated doctors and practitioners. You wouldn’t own a car if you didn’t know the basics of how to fill up the gas tank, or what to fill it with. But here we are, living in our bodies daily, mostly unaware that we have no idea how our body’s energy systems work and how to replenish them effectively. So, we struggle, with weight, inflammation, sleep, cravings, brain fog, low energy and a general feeling that “something is missing”. There is something missing: minerals! Minerals, and how they contribute to health, is widely misunderstood, resulting in misinformation and products that confuse people and ultimately cause more problems than they solve. Understanding some simple facts about how minerals operate in the body and how a person can easily and effectively replenish their body’s mineral stores, can be a game changer for anyone experiencing chronic issues related to physical, mental, emotional and energetic health. This book is about the human body as a holistic ecosystem made of cells and an introduction into minerals as a cornerstone of cellular ecosystem health. Told through story, metaphors, visual descriptions and simple language, this book makes a complex subject accessible. This book is written for anyone who recognizes in themselves that hidden hunger (that sense that something is missing), or seeks answers to why they are struggling to thrive.

Neurokomiks
Víš, z čeho se skládá tvůj mozek? Jak je možné, že si zapamatuješ, když ti někdo něco řekne? Co jsou to neurony a jak fungují. Podobně se ptá Housenka Alenky v říši divů. „Kdo jste?“
Neurokomiks je jako mapa. Provede tě cestou tvého mozku, zavede tě do neuronového lesa, paměťových jeskyní i zámků plných podvodného chování. Setkáš se s různými monstry, obrovitou olihní, mořskými slimáky hrajícími na kytaru i skvělými zakladateli neurovědy.
Poslední slova z kříže
Když Karl Marx v březnu 1883 ležel na smrtelné posteli, přišel za ním jeho ošetřovatel a řekl: „Řekněte mi svá poslední slova a já je zapíšu.“ Marx se na něho obořil: „Jděte pryč! Poslední slova jsou pro hlupáky, kteří za svého života neřekli dost!“
Poslední slova mohou mnohé odhalit. Když umíral podnikatel P. T. Barnum, ptal se: „Jaký byl dnes výnos?“ Napoleon řekl: „Hlava armády!“ Poslední slova významného baptistického kazatele Charlese Spurgeona zněla: „Ježíš za mne zemřel“ a zakladatel metodismu John Wesley řekl: „Nejlepší ze všeho je, že Bůh je s námi.“
V těchto studiích se budeme zabývat sedmi výroky, které pronesl Pán Ježíš Kristus z kříže, tedy jeho posledními slovy. Tyto výroky jsou pro nás důležité nejen kvůli tomu, kdo je vyslovil, ale i kvůli místu, kde je řekl. Když náš Pán konal na zemi své největší dílo, pronesl jedny ze svých největších výroků. Těchto sedm posledních slov z kříže jsou okna, která nám umožňují nahlédnout do věčnosti a vidět Boží srdce.

Dcera
Toxické dětství ji naučilo pochybovat o vlastním úsudku – a on toho dokonale využil. Láska se změnila v kontrolu, jistota ve strach a realita v jeho verzi pravdy. Když se pak kruh násilí uzavírá, Klára zjistí, že jediná cesta ven vede skrz temnotu.

Hlavní hrdinka Klára, která v minulosti zažila opravdové peklo, teď touží po lásce a rodinném přístavu. Podlehne charismatickému Štěpánovi a velmi rychle s ním otěhotní, bohužel však záhy zjistí, že muž, do kterého se zamilovala, má dvě tváře. Dostává se do kolotoče domácího násilí, které začíná velmi nenápadně, ale o to drtivější má dopady. Klára neví, jak z toho ven – nemá prostředky, zázemí ani přátele, o které by se mohla opřít. Jejím jediným blízkým člověkem je narcistický manipulátor Štěpán. Když ovšem za dramatických okolností přichází o nenarozené miminko, celý její život nabere nové obrátky. Mladá žena se rozhodne pomstít nejen smrt očekávané dcerušky, ale vyřídit si účty se všemi, kdo jí v minulých letech ublížili - včetně své matky.

Hodlá za sebou nechat zkázu a možná i smrt...

Political Philosophy
How to understand a long-standing puzzle in political philosophy: the relationship between justice and legitimacyCan laws be unjust and yet remain, in some sense, morally legitimate? In this book, Jonathan Quong considers central issues in political philosophy through the lens of this single question. He explores and evaluates recent influential work on this topic and then proposes a novel approach of his own. The puzzle at the heart of his account is the phenomenon of legitimate injustice—laws and policies that are substantively unjust yet may be legitimately imposed by government officials. How can such laws be legitimate if, as some have argued, justice is the first virtue of social institution? uong analyzes the work of those who deny that injustice committed by states can be legitimate simply by virtue of its democratic or procedural pedigree; the Kantian account of legitimate institutions and justice; instrumental approaches to political legitimacy; and the recent wave of work in democratic theory focused on its egalitarian character. Arguing that these analyses do not offer an adequate solution to the puzzle and that there are compelling reasons to revise or reject them, Quong lays out his view and explains the implications for more general theories of political morality. He argues that we can explain legitimate injustice by appeal to distributive justice. If political disagreement is inevitable, then unjust legislation is largely unavoidable; it constitutes a burden that must be distributed according to just principles. Quong’s novel and illuminating framework offers a unique introduction to crucial questions in political philosophy.
