After Nations
What has happened to the nation-state?
From a prizewinning writer, After Nations offers a sweeping history of this most unquestioned of modern structures and a bold speculation about its future.
Until recently, the system of nation-states appeared settled and eternal. Not anymore. As American hegemony unwinds and Western countries slide into anxiety and debt, there is a resurgence of tyranny, imperialism and war. It is no longer clear that states can continue delivering 'normal' services, let alone defeat inequality and climate change. Even in rich countries, many feel they are being progressively neglected; in some parts of the world, populations are entirely abandoned by nation-states and must build systems of their own.
Rana Dasgupta traces the formation and rise of the nation-state system to explain its multiple failures today. He takes us from the fall of ancient empires and the expansion of European concepts of money and law right up to the emergence of twenty-first-century tech firms - the first significant new geopolitical actors to emerge since the inception of nation-states - and the epochal restoration of Chinese power. He posits that the time has come to develop a new conception of citizenship, law, and economy-one that corresponds to our globalized and ecologically fragile condition.
Richly detailed, urgent and told with remarkable clarity, After Nations is an essential text for anyone looking to understand why we seem to be losing our political hold on the world, and how we might try to restore it
Cleopatra
YOU KNOW MY NAME. BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW ME.
Your historians call me seductress, but I was ever in love's thrall. Your playwrights speak of witchcraft, but my talents came from the gods themselves. Your poets sing of my bloodlust, but I was always protecting my children. How wilfully they refuse to concede that a woman could be powerful, strategic, divinely blessed to rule. Death will silence me no longer. This is not the story of how I died. But how I lived.
From one of the most remarkable and acclaimed storytellers of her generation, the #1 bestselling author of FAEBOUND and THE FINAL STRIFE, this epic and groundbreaking new novel shows us Cleopatra on her own terms.
Baselitz. A Life In Print
The first comprehensive survey of Baselitz’s printmaking
Celebrating six decades of print making, A Life In Print is the first comprehensive book on an important part of Georg Baselitz’ artistic practice.
Considered to be one of the greatest painters alive and credited to have revived Figuration in a time when Abstraction ruled the art world, the German artist started to explore different print techniques beginning in 1964, and never stopped to see them as an integral part of his work. While his contemporaries used new offset and screen-print techniques to create what amounted to reproductions in often high editions, Baselitz rejected the Zeitgeist and explored century old techniques like dry point etchings, aquatinta, wood and linocuts, while tirelessly pushing his own artistic limits.
The book brings together more than 245 prints and introduces the reader to all major themes and motives of Baselitz career, from the so-called Heroes of the mid-60ies to his iconic images of Eagles to the manyfold portraits of his wife Elke. The book forcefully makes the point that no other artist since Picasso has done more for and in that genre than Baselitz.
Edited by Cornelius Tittel in close collaboration with the Baselitz Archive in Munich, the book features an anthology of the quintessential historic texts on Baselitz’ printmaking – amongst others by himself, fellow artist Per Kirkeby and art historians like Michael Semff and Reiner Michael Mason. A new essay by Frode Sandvik, curator at Kode Museum, explores the shared affinities in the print work of Edvard Munch and Georg Baselitz.
Boris, Al & Superhrdinovia vedy
Boris je opatrný a ustráchaný. V škole ani doma to nemá jednoduché. Jedného dňa sa však zoznámi s „kamarátkou“, ktorá pozná odpovede na všetky jeho otázky. Vďaka umelej inteligencii sa Boris veľa naučí. Napríklad aj to, že superhrdinovia vedy boli obyčajní ľudia, ktorí mali podobné problémy ako on. Popri objavovaní sveta vynálezov Boris nachádza odvahu postaviť sa svojim strachom, nepriateľom a pochybnostiam.
Je to dobrodružný príbeh o túžbe pýtať sa, objavovať, veriť v seba samého a zistení, že niekedy najväčším vynálezom nie je padák ani turbína, ale priateľstvo a odvaha žiť svoj život.
Príbehy najväčších slovenských vedcov s komiksom.

Bílá nemoc
Drama Bílá nemoc napsal Karel Čapek v předvečer druhé světové války. Bylo varováním před nastupujícím nacismem. Stejně jako ostatní jeho romány a hry je neskutečně současné a alarmující.

The Library of Ancient Wisdom
When a team of Victorian archaeologists dug into a grassy hill in Iraq, they chanced upon one of the oldest and greatest stores of knowledge ever seen: the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, seventh century BCE ruler of a huge swathe of the ancient Middle East known as Mesopotamia. After his death, vengeful rivals burned Ashurbanipal's library to the ground - yet the texts, carved on clay tablets, were baked and preserved by the heat. Buried for millennia, the tablets were written in cuneiform: the first written language in the world.
More than half of human history is written in cuneiform, but only a few hundred people on earth can read it. In this captivating new book, Assyriologist Selena Wisnom takes us on an immersive tour of this extraordinary library, bringing ancient Mesopotamia and its people to life. Through it, we encounter a world of astonishing richness, complexity and sophistication. Mesopotamia, she shows, was home to advanced mathematics, astronomy and banking, law and literature. This was a culture absorbed and developed by the ancient Greeks, and whose myths were precursors to Bible stories - in short, a culture without which our lives today would be unrecognizable.
The Library of Ancient Wisdom unearths a civilization at once strange and strangely familiar: a land of capricious gods, exorcisms and professional lamenters, whose citizens wrote of jealous rivalries, profound friendships and petty grievances. Through these pages we come face to face with humanity's first civilization: their startling achievements, their daily life, and their struggle to understand our place in the universe.
Alone in Japan
No sex. No kids. No future?
When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, and a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success.
When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come – but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning. This book offers a unique portrait of life in contemporary Japan, from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the dynamism of its megacities.
It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. The country is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the population is shrinking.
As things stand, it will fall by a third with each new generation. Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples’ homes, Feiling meets those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids.
He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and considers the risks – and the opportunities – of the rise in solo living in Japan, and beyond. Clear-sighted and surprising, Alone in Japan is a portrait of love, sex and death in contemporary Japan that should provoke and engage us all. It is an electrifying portrait of a nation on the brink by one of the most original reporters working today.
Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean
How The Solar System Shaped Human History And May Help Save Our Planet.
Our solar system is an extraordinary place where asteroids careen off course and solar winds hurl charged particles across billions of miles of space. Yet we seldom consider how these events, so immense in scale, influence our own fragile blue planet.
In Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean, Dagomar Degroot traces the surprising threads linking humanity to the rest of the solar system. He reveals how the shifting sands of other planets have shaped geopolitics, spurred scientific and cultural innovation, and encouraged new ideas about the emergence and fate of life.
Martian dust storms altered the trajectory of the Cold War and inspired fantastical stories about alien civilisations.
Comet impacts on Jupiter led to the first planetary defence strategy. And volcanic eruptions spewed sulfuric acid into Venus s atmosphere, exposing the existential risks of global warming.
But just as we expand the boundaries of space exploration, cosmic environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to human activity. Yet, they may also hold the key to slowing down the climate crisis back on Earth.
Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean urges us to develop an interplanetary environmentalism across a vast mosaic of entangled worlds and to consider the profound connections that bind us to the cosmos and each other.
Rusko proti modernitě
Díky hluboké znalosti ruských poměrů předkládá autor zasvěcenou analýzu a shrnutí důvodů i průběhu společenského, ekonomického i politického úpadku současného Ruska, jež se staly příčinou ruské agrese na Ukrajině. Představuje Rusko jako typický „petrostát“, který zmeškal příležitost využít obrovských příjmů z vývozu ropy a plynu k modernizaci. Jelikož není schopné přechodu k modernitě, musí se snažit zvrátit tento proces ve zbytku světa. Téměř veškerá politická činnost Ruska je tedy zaměřená na zastavení postupu lidstva k nové modernitě a na návrat k fungování lidské civilizace jako v minulosti.

The Death of Trotsky
In August 1940, a man walked into Leon Trotsky's study in Mexico City and drove an ice pick into his skull. The killer? Ramón Mercader - an aristocratic Spaniard turned Soviet assassin. The mastermind? Joseph Stalin.
But this was no simple hit. It was the climax of a decade-long global hunt: a story of seduction and betrayal, of fake identities and secret loyalties, of idealists and fanatics, lovers and spies. While Trotsky raged in exile - still clinging to his revolutionary dream - Stalin's agents closed in. At the heart of it all was Mercader: a man trained to lie, charm and ultimately to kill.
Tracing a path from the cafés of Paris to the battlefields of Spain, from Stalin's Kremlin to a bloodied study in Mexico, The Death of Trotsky unfolds like a spy thriller - a story of obsession and betrayal, of dreams destroyed and loyalties twisted, culminating in one of the most shocking murders of the modern age.
Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos - Total Chaos 1
Celine Brennan should be riding the high of her recent promotion to detective, but instead she's been saddled with a case no one can seem to solve with murders so gruesome others before her have quit. Not to mention, there's something suspicious with a new club in town and her focus keeps being pulled from the case she should be devoting her attention to.
Zavier Lockwood is old. Three-hundred-years old to be precise and he's bored because of it. Killing the scum of Chicago and cleaning up the streets since the cops can't seem to do it is his favorite pastime. Until he lays eyes on Celine. Soon, he finds his obsession with her far more tempting than murder. After all, no vampire can resist the allure of their mate.
As their paths cross thanks to Zavier's uncanny ability to be wherever Celine is they both come to realize there's something far more nefarious going on in the city they both love. They'll have to work together to get to the bottom of it, but what happens when Celine realises the man she's falling for isn't only not human, but he's the same one committing the crimes she's supposed to solve?

Death and the Gardener
Through long winter mornings in Bulgaria, a man sits by the bedside of his elderly father.
His father, who created and left- behind a garden, blooming from a barren village yard: peonies and potatoes, roses and cherry trees. His father, without whom the man begins to quietly crack. Because the end of our fathers is the end of a world.
From the winner of the International Booker Prize comes a novel about a father, a son and an orphaned garden, interweaving the botany of sorrow, the consolations of storytelling and the arrival of the first tulips of spring.

The Children of Eve
BE AFRAID. MOTHER IS COMING.
Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of rising Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has gone missing, leaving behind a cell phone containing a single-word message: RUN.
Private investigator Charlie Parker is hired to find out why Riggins has fled, and from whom.
Parker discovers that Riggins, an ex-soldier, has been involved in the abduction of four children from Mexico: three girls and a boy, all belonging to the cartel boss Blas Urrea - except Urrea's family is safe and well in Mexico, which means the abductees cannot be his children. Yet whoever they are, Urrea wants them back, and has dispatched his agents to secure them, even if it means butchering everyone who stands in their way.
One of those agents is Eugene Seeley, a clever, ruthless solver of other men's problems. The other is an unknown woman.
Every child has a mother. Now Charlie Parker will face one unlike any other, and learn the terrifying truth about the Children of Eve.
