Čítam, čím som bol
Už od svojho debutu bol Łukasz Jarosz, ktorý nemal ašpirácie stať sa literátom, so svojím jednoduchým a pritom mytologickým jazykom vnímaný ako solitér v kontexte mladej poľskej poézie so svojim autobiografickým príbehom, ktorý je rozpovedaný skutočne a pravdivo, cez prizmu iniciačných skúseností – zamilovanie, sex, narodenie dcéry, rozvod, smrť blízkych. Prvý slovenský výber jeho poézie predstavuje básnika súčasného života v malopoľskej dedine, v tradičnej katolíckej rodine, básnika, ktorý na rozdiel od svojich rovesníkov neopúšťa tento svet, aj keď ho prežíva s plným vedomím smrteľnosti, pozorujúc otca, ktorého život mal žiť. Tento život, ktorý číta, môže byť pre nás aj vzhľadom na kultúrnu aj teritoriálnu blízkosť nielen príťažlivý, ale aj rozpoznateľný a veľmi skutočný.
Riziková společnost, 4. vydání
Kniha Ulricha Becka Riziková společnost patří k nejvýznamnějším knihám, které byly v posledních více než třiceti letech na toto téma napsány. Ovlivnila nejen řadu dalších myslitelů, ale celý způsob uvažování o tomto problému. Pro mnohé se stal Beck zosobněním zcela nového přístupu sociologie k ekologii. Jeho práce reflektují existenci mezí růstu a snaží se ukázat, jak se tato skutečnost promítá do charakteru moderní společnosti, jak je zároveň tímto charakterem spolupodmiňována a stále znovu reprodukována. Beckova koncepce rizikové společnosti ve světové sociologii zdomácněla, tím spíše, že je spjata s podnětným vstupem do probíhající debaty o skutečné povaze modernity a o celkovém smyslu procesu modernizace. Jako doslov je v knize otištěn text přednášky Ulricha Becka World Risk Society Revisited z února 2002.

Race, Class, and Affirmative Action
A rich, nuanced examination of the effects of the 2023 Supreme Court ruling restricting race-conscious college admissions policies—and food for thought for future transformation In Race, Class, and Affirmative Action, Julie J. Park offers deft analysis of the changes to college admissions and campus life since the US Supreme Court ruled to restrict race-conscious policies in two 2023 cases: Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard and SFFA v. the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Park offers clear explanations of the rulings, their historical context, and their implications for higher education policy. She highlights how the Supreme Court still allows campuses to consider the role of race in students’ experiences and that numerous tools to advance diversity in admissions remain. In this lively, timely work, Park points out the swift and stark post-ruling shifts in campus demographics and grapples with questions of how to push toward a more equitable admissions system. She investigates alternative initiatives, such as test-optional and test-free admissions, percent plans, and others, weighing their merits and drawbacks. She also examines inequality affecting college applications themselves and offers ideas for reform. Integrating up-to-the minute research on admissions, standardized testing, enrollment management, and the campus racial climate, Park recommends actions that can advance equity-oriented access to higher education despite the current restrictions on race-conscious admissions. Park ends with a call to campus leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to reimagine selective college admissions and attendance and offers a glimpse of what the future could hold.

Jung's Life and Work
The complete interviews that served as the basis for Jung’s bestselling memoir Memories, Dreams, ReflectionsFeatures a significant amount of material withheld from the original bookNewly translated and thoroughly annotated by world-renowned Jung expert Sonu ShamdasaniIn 1957, at the age of eighty-one, C. G. Jung began a collaboration with his student and secretary Aniela Jaffé and the legendary publisher Kurt Wolff on a book about his life. Memories, Dreams, Reflections would become a bestseller, yet it draws from less than half of Jaffé’s original interviews with Jung. Much of the material from these candid, wide-ranging conversations was left on the cutting-room floor. Jung’s Life and Work presents these interviews in their entirety for the first time. Marking the 150th anniversary of Jung’s birth, this new English translation captures the cadence and subtlety of the brilliant psychologist in his own words, giving voice to a thinker and teacher who is by turns witty and intellectually daring but also vulnerable and humbled by the world’s great mysteries. It restores numerous passages that were originally omitted or heavily edited and toned down for publication, “auntified” as Jung himself put it. Taken together, these talks reveal Jung actively discovering meaningful new connections in his life’s work. He shares his impressions of notable figures he encountered throughout his life—such as Sigmund Freud, William James, Albert Einstein, and H. G. Wells—and describes his striking visions, religious and paranormal experiences, and pioneering self-experimentation. Aided by Jaffé’s skillful questioning, Jung reflects on subjects ranging from Christianity and Buddhism and the fate of the West to the experiences that led to the formulation of his signature concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, anima and animus, and the shadow as well as on karma, the afterlife, and much more. With an introduction and extensive annotations by acclaimed Jung scholar Sonu Shamdasani that provide invaluable historical perspective, Jung’s Life and Work includes previously unpublished extracts from Jung’s letters and a completely reorganized text.
