Blood Dawn
'This is the history we so badly needed' ANTONY BEEVOR'Essential reading for understanding Asia's present' RICHARD OVERYA momentous new history of World War II in Asia. In the early twentieth century, from India to China, Western imperial powers dominated Asia. Then, in the 1930s, Japan began to tear down this old order in pursuit of its own imperial ambitions - first by invading China, and then by launching its assault against British, Dutch, and American outposts across Asia and the Pacific in December 1941. As Japanese forces seized vast swaths of territory and pressed toward India, the brutal fighting cost millions of lives across the continent. Simultaneously, the war's chaos and suffering supercharged anti-colonial movements from British India to Dutch Indonesia. Ultimately, it was the charismatic leaders of these movements - Mao, Nehru, Sukarno - who built the new Asia of independent nation-states that emerged in the war's bloody wake. Drawing on deep archival research across continents, leading historian Hans van de Ven tells the dramatic story of how Asia's people mobilized to defeat both Japanese aggression and European imperialism, forging modern Asia in the process. Blood Dawn is a landmark new account of one of the most important and overlooked episodes of the twentieth century, revealing how Asia's Second World War was central in creating the post-war order.

Revitalizovaná budúcnosť
Kniha Revitalizovaná budúcnosť – Ako klimatizovať mestá a krajinu mäkkou cestou Radoslava Dvořáka prepája svet architektúry s múdrosťou Prírody. Autor, pôvodne architekt, sa vzdáva kolón strierych v Prírode mení v pozorovateľa jej dokonalých systémov – a prináša túto skúsenosť späť do miest.
V prvej časti knihy detailne popisuje, ako prírodné ekosystémy (lúky, kríky, lesy) fungujú ako sebestačné klimatizačné jednotky, ktoré zadržiavajú vodu, obnovujú pôdu a vytvárajú harmonické prostredie.
S vedomosťou a poetikou odhaľuje, ako každý detail, od koreňov po listy, slúži väčšiemu celku.
Druhá časť ukazuje, ako tieto princípy aplikovať v mestskom prostredí.
Predstavuje „mäkkú metódu“: záhony miesto betónu, kríky ako prírodnú klimatizáciu, dažďovú vodu ako vzácny zdroj.
Ponúka konkrétne riešenia, ktoré nevyžadujú revolúciu, ale pozornosť a spoluprácu s Prírodou.
Kniha je určená nielen architektom a urbanistom, ale každému, kto hľadá cestu späť – alebo skôr dopredu – s Prírodou ako spojencom.
Beavatás
„A könyvet személyes okok miatt regény formájában írtam. Mégis, akinek füle van, hallani fogja, hogy minden szó az igazságot adja vissza.” – Elisabeth Haich
Ez a számos nyelvre lefordított és világszerte több utánnyomást megélt nagy sikerű regény kapcsolatot teremt a nemzetközileg elismert tanító, Elisabeth Haich huszadik századi európai élete és reinkarnációs emlékei között. A modern kori keretbe ágyazott ősi események azokat az élettapasztalatokat írják le, amelyek a főhőst a spirituális útra vezették.
A misztikus önéletrajzi regény keretbe foglalja az óegyiptomi nagy beavatást, és válogatást ad Ptanhotep főpap tanításaiból, amelyek az univerzum, az emberi lélek és a sors okkult törvényeibe engednek bepillantást. A történet fiatal hősnője számtalan lélegzetelállító lelki kalandon át ismeri fel belső vezetőjét, reinkarnációs élményében azonosítja őt háromezer évvel korábbi tanítójával, a tisztánlátó főpappal, akitől annak idején mint a fáraó elszánt, de éretlen lányaként megkapta a beavatást. A misztika egész területét átfogó, és a karma, valamint a reinkarnáció törvényeit érzékletesen megjelenítő gondolatok, élmények és tapasztalatok egész tárháza nyílik meg előttünk.
Eközben a huszadik századi Európában is nyomon követhetjük az eseményeket, amelyek a gyermekkortól a felnőtté válásig, a háborún és meghatározó találkozásokon keresztül megmutatják, milyen hatalmas erővel bír, ha valaki befelé fordítja tudatának keresőfényét, és minden életeseményt tudatossága növelésére használ föl.
Elisabeth Haich olyan rejtett igazságokat oszt meg olvasóival, amelyek lehetővé teszik, hogy a megértés olyan fokára jussunk el, amely a megvilágosodáshoz szükséges. A Beavatás időtlen klasszikus, amelynek modern nyelvezete spirituális keresők nemzedékeinek jelentett eddig is inspirációt világszerte. Akár úgy olvassuk, mint egy misztikus igazságokat feltáró önéletrajzi regényt, akár úgy, mint Elisabeth Haich megvilágosodáshoz vezető kivételes útjának leírását, mély hatással lesz ránk. A Beavatás olvasása egyet jelent magával a beavatással.
