England's Nadir?
England’s Nadir? is a revealing reassessment of a highly controversial period in the history of the England football team – the three seasons from 1974 to 1977 when Don Revie was at the helm. This has long been considered the worst period in 160 years of the national team. England’s Nadir? places these three years in a broader social context and a longer historical framework, exploring many factors that have previously been overlooked. These include the dominating voices of a small number of the 52 men who played for England under Revie and the endless criticism of Revie’s match preparation through his infamous dossiers. In addition, there was the control of Revie’s work by powerful individuals at the FA and FL, the effect of stress on football managers in the 1970s and the impact of serious injuries to key players. The book examines all 29 matches for which Revie was in charge and all 52 players who appeared for England in that time. There are sections on Revie’s early life, playing career, his successful and controversial period as Leeds United manager and his dramatic resignation from the England post in summer 1977. England’s Nadir? is a must-read for all England fans and anyone interested in 1970s football.
Blood on the Crossbar
Blood on the Crossbar: The Dictatorship's World Cup is the story of the most controversial football World Cup of all time. When Argentina both hosted and won the World Cup in 1978, just two years after the coup d'etat that ousted Isabel Perón, it was against the backdrop of a brutal military dictatorship in the country. Under the leadership of General Jorge Videla, up to 30,000 citizens, categorised as subversives, 'disappeared'. Dogged by allegations of bribery, coercion and an historic failed drugs test, this is the story of Argentina's maiden World Cup triumph and the controversy that simmered behind it. This isn't exclusively a tale of footballers and generals, and the risks they took to succeed. It's a story of the people: Argentinean exiles, Parisian students, brave journalists, the marching mothers of Plaza de Mayo and their missing children - and Dutch stand-up comedians who led international boycotts from thousands of miles away.
Studies in the History of the Renaissance
''art comes to you professing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moments'' sake''In Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873), a diffident Oxford don produced an audacious and incalculably influential defence of aestheticism. Through his highly idiosyncratic readings of some of the finest paintings, sculptures, and poems of the French and Italian Renaissance, Pater redefined the practice of criticism as an impressionistic, almost erotic exploration of the critic''s aesthetic responses. At the same time, reclaiming the Hellenism that he saw as the most characteristic aspect of the Renaissance, he implicitly celebrated homoerotic friendship.Pater''s infamous ''Conclusion'', which forever linked him with the decadent movement, scandalized many with its insistence on making pleasure the sole motive of life, even as it charmed fellow aesthetes such as Oscar Wilde. This edition of Studies reproduces the text of the first edition, recapturing its initial impact, and the Introduction celebrates its doomed attempt to stand out against the processes of industrialization. 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.

Parrésia XVIII–XIX (2024–2025) - Ruská Palestina
Dvojčíslo ročenky Parrésia (XVIII–XIX) je věnováno fenoménu tzv. Ruské Palestiny – rozsáhlému a dlouhodobému projektu ruské přítomnosti ve Svaté zemi, který od poloviny 19. století propojoval náboženské, kulturní a politické ambice Ruské říše.
Studie obsažené ve svazku sledují vznik a fungování propracovaného systému pravoslavného poutnictví, duchovní a sociální péče, výstavby chrámů, škol a hospiců, systematického odkupování pozemků i archeologické činnosti, na níž se podílel stát i církev. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována roli Ruské duchovní misie a proměnám jejího působení v kontextu zásadních politických zlomů 20. století.
Publikace ukazuje, že tento fenomén nelze uzavřít mezi letopočty 1847 a 1917. Navzdory pádu carského režimu, konci britského mandátu i vzniku Státu Izrael přežívala Ruská Palestina v různých podobách i nadále a po roce 1991 se znovu objevují snahy o její částečné obnovení. Svazek nabízí čtenáři hlubší porozumění historickým souvislostem, které dodnes formují náboženskou a geopolitickou mapu regionu.

Když dojde k vraždě v rezidenci na ostrově uprostřed řeky, musí soudce přijít na to, jak vyslechnout jediného svědka vraždy, když se jedná o psa oběti. Soudce Ti se následně setká s čarodějnicí, svůdnou vílou i taoistickým poustevníkem, vyznavačem božské láhve.

On Strategists and Strategy
A distinctive collection of essays capturing Lawrence Freedman''s insightful analysis across war, strategy, and foreign policy and providing a unique view of the key thinkers that shaped history.One of the world''s foremost scholars of warfare, both historical and contemporary, Lawrence Freedman has also played an important role in policymaking, serving as an official historian of both the Falklands War and on the UK inquiry into the 2003 Iraq War. Since the publication of his best-selling Strategy in 2013, Freedman has continued to explore many of the themes he raised in the book while commenting on ongoing conflicts.On Strategists and Strategy combines the best of Freedman''s many essays from the past ten years on warfare and foreign policy, alongside more personal pieces on the scholars who influenced him and his own life trajectory. The range of his interests is demonstrated in this lively and engaging collection of essays. They cover a wide range of topics, including Vladimir Putin''s strategic fanaticism; arguments on why we don''t take tactics seriously enough and why "stalemate" is used incorrectly as a metaphor for deadlock in war; considerations of the dilemmas of nuclear deterrence; and what Covid tells us about crisis management. The material on his own life is richly contextual, attuned to the broader historical trends and social forces in 1960s and 1970s Britain that shaped his experiences.This volume not only provides a broad-ranging sampling of Freedman''s most representative work, but also offers a unique window into a half century of world history.

From the greatest goals to the biggest controversies, from the funniest moments to the most memorable matches, The Making of the FIFA World Cup gives you an in-depth look at why the competition is sport's most-watched event - through the moments that make it so dramatic, popular and irresistibly exciting.
Fundamentals of Learning
Fundamentals of Learning: A Behavioral Approach discusses the basic mechanisms of learning. It highlights how most behaviors are learned through minimal amounts of cognitive processing and acquired through associations between stimuli, such as observed in classical and operant conditioning (associative learning) and repeated experiences with a single stimulus (nonassociative learning). Together, in combination with innate or instinctual behaviors, these forms of learning account for the acquisition of an impressively wide range of behaviors and played a crucial role in the evolution of species, as it permitted them to adapt to changing environments. The book begins by tracing the history of learning theory, acquainting students with the philosophers and early researchers who contributed to learning theory. It then goes on to cover theoretical explanations of the basic learning mechanisms, including theories of classical and operant conditioning. The modular approach of the book enables students to link the concepts they learn about in the text to their own behavior. The book concludes with a discussion of the role of cognition in learning, covering behaviors that are considered less automatized and mediated by cognitive processes, such as the formation of spatial maps and the processes involved in decision-making and motivated behaviors. The book is written with the student in mind throughout, featuring real-life case studies, key terms, and learning objectives. It is also accompanied by additional resources to further support student learning. It will be a must-read for all students of learning and behavior or animal learning.

Persuasion
''She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.''Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories. More than seven years earlier she complied with duty: persuaded to view the match as imprudent and improper, she broke off her engagement to a naval captain with neither fortune, ancestry, nor prospects. However, when peacetime arrives and brings the Navy home, and Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once more, she starts to believe in second chances. Persuasion celebrates romantic constancy in an era of turbulent change. Written as the Napoleonic Wars were ending, the novel examines how a woman can at once remain faithful to her past and still move forward into the future.

Heartbreak and Other Geographies
A uniquely structured collection of essays from one of today's most esteemed scholars of black studiesA thoughtfully curated selection of texts by preeminent black feminist scholar Katherine McKittrick, Heartbreak and Other Geographies showcases the remarkable depth of inquiry she has generated over twenty years. Edited by Brittany Meché and Camilla Hawthorne, this collection highlights McKittrick's enduring commitment to ideas around radical placemaking and the creative articulations of and within the black diaspora. McKittrick's work is marked by a recurring engagement with anticolonialism, practices of liberation, and radical methodologies of black cultural production. Through discussions of figures such as Toni Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Édouard Glissant, Paul Gilroy, Nina Simone, and Sylvia Wynter, the writing in Heartbreak and Other Geographies spans the author's investigations into scientific method, liberal modernity, the cycles that perpetuate racial violence, and the poetics and sonics of black livingness. Bringing together recent texts, influential pieces, and lesser-known essays, the unconventional format of Heartbreak and Other Geographies includes an introductory conversation with McKittrick as well as a series of creative interludes from the editors throughout the book. Innovative in both form and content, this wide-ranging volume invites us to rethink the boundaries between disciplines and the ways that scholarship can embody a more collaborative form of worldmaking. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.
