The Disaffected
An exploration of the British occupation of Philadelphia that highlights the perspectives of those wearied by and withdrawn from the War for IndependenceElizabeth and Henry Drinker of Philadelphia were no friends of the American Revolution. Yet neither were they its enemies. The Drinkers were a merchant family who, being Quakers and pacifists, shunned commitments to both the Revolutionaries and the British. They strove to endure the war uninvolved and unscathed. They failed. In 1777, the war came to Philadelphia when the city was taken and occupied by the British army. Aaron Sullivan explores the British occupation of Philadelphia, chronicling the experiences of a group of people who were pursued, pressured, and at times persecuted, not because they chose the wrong side of the Revolution but because they tried not to choose a side at all. For these people, the war was neither a glorious cause to be won nor an unnatural rebellion to be suppressed, but a dangerous and costly calamity to be navigated with care. Both the Patriots and the British referred to this group as "the disaffected," perceiving correctly that their defining feature was less loyalty to than a lack of support for either side in the dispute, and denounced them as opportunistic, apathetic, or even treasonous. Sullivan shows how Revolutionary authorities embraced desperate measures in their quest to secure their own legitimacy, suppressing speech, controlling commerce, and mandating military service. In 1778, without the Patriots firing a shot, the king's army abandoned Philadelphia and the perceived threat from neutrals began to decline—as did the coercive and intolerant practices of the Revolutionary regime. By highlighting the perspectives of those wearied by and withdrawn from the conflict, The Disaffected reveals the consequences of a Revolutionary ideology that assumed the nation's people to be a united and homogenous front.

Empire of Liberty
The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of the USA. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America''s most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life--in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead, despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North, slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe, but instead the country became involved in Europe''s wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still, with a new generation emerging by 1815, most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Integrating all aspects of life, from politics and law to the economy and culture, Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation. A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for HistoryWinner of the New-York Historical Society American History Book PrizeA New York Times BestsellerSelected as one of the Top 25 Books of 2009 by The Atlantic"On every page of this book, Wood''s subtlety and erudition show. Grand in scope and a landmark achievement of scholarship, Empire of Liberty is a tour de force, the culmination of a lifetime of brilliant thinking and writing." --The New York Times Book Review"Empire of Liberty will rightly take its place among the authoritative volumes in this important and influential series."--The Washington Post
Posadnutosť
V hlbinách mesta, kde tiene tancujú v rytme pochmúrneho šepotu, sa prebudilo zlo...
Nevyriešené záhady vo Whisper Towne naberajú na intenzite v druhom pokračovaní série Crochemortovské dvojčatá. Mesto zahalila smrtiaca hmla a dvojičky Oriel a Silence sa ocitajú v samom srdci desivých udalostí. Už vedia, že nikde nie sú v bezpečí – obyvatelia umierajú, personál kaštieľa je na pokraji paniky a do vyšetrovania podivných javov sa púšťa aj nový policajný náčelník.
Zatiaľ čo Silence bojuje s vnútornými démonmi a je kľúčom k prežitiu mesta, Oriel je odhodlaný za každú cenu ochrániť sestru. Pritom ani jeden z nich netuší, že sa prebúdza oveľa temnejšia hrozba. Archibald Crochemort, dávno mŕtvy zakladateľ mesta, sa chystá opustiť svoju hrobku. V deň jesennej rovnodennosti bude obnovená prastará zmluva a zlo si tentoraz prichádza vybrať svoj dlh.

Civilný sporový poriadok. Komentár
Sivý komentár k Civilnému sporovému poriadku pod vedením Mgr. Mareka Ivanča, PhD. je dielom, ktoré si programovo volí odlišný prístup než konvenčný komentárový žáner. Jeho ambíciou nie je iba systematizovať teoretické poznatky, ale predovšetkým poskytnúť použiteľný nástroj na riešenie konkrétnych procesných situácií.
Originalita diela spočíva v dôraze na praktické príklady, ktoré často vychádzajú z autentických prípadov z praxe, s ktorými sa autori z akademickej, sudcovskej, advokátskej i prokurátorskej sféry stretli. Komentár systematicky reflektuje judikatúru Ústavného súdu SR, Najvyššieho súdu SR a českých najvyšších súdnych inštancií, zároveň však mapuje aj rozhodovaciu prax okresných a krajských súdov, čím nezriedka poukazuje na vnútorné napätia či divergencie aplikačnej praxe. Dielo je určené najmä odbornej právnickej verejnosti – sudcom, advokátom, exekútorom, notárom, podnikovým právnikom, ale i študentom práva a ďalším záujemcom o civilný proces, a to vo výklade, ktorý sa miestami vedome odchyľuje od formálne zaužívaných schém.
Život a práce s AI
V listopadu 2022 vstoupilo do našeho světa něco nového – umělá inteligence, která zvládá vykonávat kreativní a inovativní práci, jež byla dřív vyhrazena pouze lidem. Profesor Ethan Mollick okamžitě pochopil, co tento průlom znamená: po milionech let samostatného vývoje lidstvo vyvinulo druh co-inteligence, která může rozšířit, nebo dokonce nahradit lidské myšlení. Díky svým článkům, přednáškám a výuce se Mollick stal jedním z nejvýznamnějších a nejprovokativnějších popularizátorů umělé inteligence, který se zaměřuje na praktické aspekty toho, jak tyto nové nástroje pro myšlení mohou změnit náš svět.
Profesor Mollick nás vybízí, abychom s AI spolupracovali jako s kolegou a využívali ji jako učitele nebo kouče, hodnotí její hluboký dopad na podnikání a vzdělávání, k čemuž využívá desítky příkladů AI v akci v reálném čase, a ukazuje nám, co to znamená myslet a pracovat společně s inteligentními stroji a proč je nezbytné, abychom tuto dovednost ovládli.
Dark Cinderella
Sofia
„Hirtelen megjelenése úgy ér, mintha jeges vízzel öntöttek volna le. Nem tehetek róla, de az arcom égni kezd, amikor találkozik a tekintetünk. Persze, ez szörnyen gyerekes reakció. Hiszen a herceg is csak hús-vér ember. Na jó, királyi vér. Gleccserkék szemét sötét pillák keretezik. A tekintete átható. Mintha egyenesen arra játszana, hogy ideges legyek, ami – akarva-akaratlanul – sikerül is neki.”
Maximilian
„Ha nem engedte volna el a pillantásomat, valószínűleg még mindig bámulnám. A csinos arcát, a hatalmas szemét, amely mindig rabul ejt. Mint a mágnes. Minden túlságosan vonzó rajta. Persze, a külseje is. De nem csak az. Valami, amit nem tudok megnevezni, de amit valahogy olyan reménytelinek és szabadnak érzek. És ez még nehezebbé – sőt szinte lehetetlenné – teszi, hogy ellenálljak a vonzerejének.”

In Her Own League
He's used to being the boss. But she's in her own league...
As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she's more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man's world - not the person who's earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can't afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team's tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss - let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours - and too many away games - side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese's control, the heart behind her ambition and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm's length - for the sake of the team, the season and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win...
30-dňová cesta bojovníka
„BOJUJ DOBRÝ BOJ VIERY...“ (1 Tim 6, 12) „Tieto slová dnes Boh adresuje nám, mužom. Nevolá nás do boja proti ľuďom, ale do zápasu o vlastné srdce, o pravdu, o čistotu života a o naplnenie Božieho zámeru.
V týchto 30 biblických zamysleniach nad veršami apoštola Pavla, ktoré sú doplnené svedectvami, nebudeš čítať len o nejakých pravdách, ale o Pravde, ktorá sa dotkla konkrétneho života tak silno, že ho navždy zmenila. Peter píše jednoducho, no hlboko; priamo, a pritom s jemnosťou Ducha; úprimne, s mužnou odvahou pomenovať veci tak, ako sú.“
Úryvok z predhovoru, o. Ján Buc, katolícky kňaz
Peter Lipták bol v roku 1998 Božou mocou nadprirodzene, z okamihu na okamih, úplne vyslobodený z drogovej závislosti. Začal žiť pre Pána Ježiša, vyštudoval katolícku teológiu a slúži ako evanjelista popri bežnom zamestnaní. V roku 2011 sa oženil s Veronikou a majú dve deti. Ich spoločnou vášňou a poslaním je evanjelizácia v moci Ducha Svätého a tiež povzbudzovanie veriacich do evanjelizácie spojené s modlitbou za vystrojenie mocou Ducha Svätého.
