Dějiny kapitalismu I.
Kniha přibližuje v širokých historických, politických a ideologických souvislostech vznik a vývoj kapitalismu od poloviny prvního tisíciletí našeho letopočtu do počátků průmyslové revoluce na sklonku 18. století. Z obchodních aktivit podél Hedvábné stezky, které se staly základem orientální globalizace, se zrodila latentní forma kapitalismu, jejíž protagonisté neměli přímý podíl na politické moci. Tato varianta se prosadila ve velkých asijských říších - v Číně, Indii, Persii - i v raně novověkém Španělsku a Francii. Ve středověkých Benátkách a dalších italských městských státech se naproti tomu zformoval manifestní kapitalismus, v němž si obchodní a finanční oligarchie podřídila státní aparát jako nástroj akumulace kapitálu. Manifestní kapitalismus se vyznačuje vytvořením hierarchie využívaných periférií a oscilací mezi produktivní a finanční fází růstu. Jeho těžiště se v 16. století přesunulo ze severní Itálie do Amsterodamu a po roce 1688 do Londýna, odkud manifestní kapitalismus zaštítil vznik Britského impéria a jeho globálního hospodářského systému.

Moderní molekuly v onkologii, 2. vydání
Druhé, aktualizované a doplněné vydání velmi úspěšné knihy. Fundovaný, přehledný, kompletní a přitom koncizní průvodce novými léky, které se do klinické praxe v onkologii dostaly a dostávají v posledních letech. Větší část těchto látek je běžně řazena pod pojem biologická, resp. cílená léčba, kniha je však komplexnější a obsahuje také nová chemoterapeutika, resp. nová radiofarmaka.
Z nepřeberného množství údajů, které každou látku při vstupu na trh provázejí, vybral autor s ohledem na svou klinickou zkušenost prakticky významné minimum informací, které onkolog skutečně potřebuje pro rozhodování o volbě léku.
Text je doplněn schématy umožňujícími snadné pochopení mechanismu účinku.
Dokumentární divadlo
Dokumentární divadlo zažívá ve 21. století období velké popularity a rozvoje. Větví se a prolíná do jiných, tradičních i novátorských divadelních forem. Jeho popularita značně vzrostla asi hlavně proto, že člověk je v obří míře a ze všech stran ( v umění, v médiích, v politice ... ) atakovaný fabulacemi, falešnými zprávami a lhaním vydávaným za pravdu. Prahne tudíž po něčem, čemu lze věřit, co není podvod, ba ani fikce, co je pravda pravdoucí. 15 – „odrůd“ dokumentárního divadla, 38 příloh – reflexí konkrétních inscenaci a rozhovorů od zakladatele a emeritního šéfredaktora časopisu Svět a divadlo, zakladatele festivalů Divadlo i Ohromné maličkosti, občasného režiséra, řezbáře a skladatele říkanek. Na 222 stranách a téměř 50 fotografiích.
Súkromnoprávne aspekty právnej úpravy digitálneho dedičstva
Digitálne prostredie sa v súčasnosti stalo priestorom, v ktorom sa stretávajú majetkové hodnoty a osobné záujmy jednotlivca. Tento posun nastoľuje viaceré právne otázky, ktoré sa v dedičskom kontexte stávajú prakticky nevyhnutnými, najmä otázku, čo všetko môže tvoriť digitálne dedičstvo a aký má právny charakter, či a v akom rozsahu jednotlivé digitálne hodnoty prechádzajú na dedičov a aké oprávnenia z toho vyplývajú. Osobitnú pozornosť pritom vyžadujú limity ochrany súkromia a ochrany osobnosti vrátane vplyvu zmluvných podmienok platforiem na účty a digitálny obsah po smrti poručiteľa.
Predkladaná monografia prináša prvé ucelené a systematické spracovanie problematiky digitálneho dedičstva v slovenskom právnom prostredí. Jej cieľom je systematicky spracovať digitálne dedičstvo v súkromnoprávnych súvislostiach, vyjasniť terminologické a výkladové východiská a vytvoriť interpretačný rámec pre ďalšiu odbornú diskusiu. Publikácia sa opiera o doktrinálnu analýzu a komparatívne východiská a zohľadňuje aj doterajšie praktické a teoretické skúsenosti autorky z oblasti dedičského práva.
200 Years of British Train Development
This book celebrates the bicentenary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway by looking, not at locomotives, but at the rolling stock behind them, both passenger vehicles and goods wagons. 1825 saw the first train load of passengers hauled by a steam locomotive, but it was an experience not to be immediately repeated, as the Stockton & Darlington passenger service after the opening ceremony was by a horse-drawn stage coach. It was not long, however, before steam took over on other lines. At first, travel was basic – the first class had closed carriages, second class open carriages with a canopy for cover, while the third class were little more than goods wagons with seats. The book traces the development of carriages over the years with increasing levels of comfort – taking the story right up to the present day. There are sections on the special trains, the most glamorous side of travel, as well as the familiar everyday coaches. It also looks as the experience of train travel over the years, including a section on accidents. Freight movement has also changed with the times, from the days when trains were made up of loose-coupled wagons to the container trains of today. There is a last look at the railway past and the preserved railways that recreate the age of steam.
Warbirds to Workhorses
Bob Davy and Keith Wilson have been combining their respective talents for more than twenty years, flying and photographing a variety of aircraft for flight test features, and having their work published around the world. This lavishly illustrated book represents the first opportunity to prepare a wide selection of their combined work in hardback form.Warbirds featured include the venerable North American P-51 Mustang (on which Bob gained a Type Rating), the UK’s last remaining airworthy and historically significant de Havilland Vampire T.11, and Bob’s own Yak-3 UTI. Also featured is the Stinson AT-19 Reliant I, often referred to as the ‘Gull Wing’.At the Workhorse end of the scale is the Helio Courier, an aircraft possessing amazing STOL performance, that later became infamous during its clandestine operations in Laos with Air America, often referred to as the CIA’s ‘Most Secret Airline’. Also featured is the Cessna Citation Mustang business jet, and the eight-seat Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain.For the floatplane enthusiasts, there is an article on flying a Maule M-7-235B Rocket Amphibian on and off a lake in Essex. Aerobatics fans can enjoy the articles on the Pitts S-2A Special and Slingsby T.67M-260. For the airline enthusiasts, Bob takes you on a commercial flight in a BAe 146 from Paris to Dublin (he was a captain on CityJet). And much, much more. Then there are features on the ‘Flying Egg’ – the Questair Venture, the Aviat Husky Pup, and the capable and occasionally aerobatic Vans RV-4. Finally, and for something completely different, join Bob inside Spitfires.com’s Spitfire simulator at Goodwood.Each of Bob Davy’s carefully crafted and occasionally, hard-hitting features is superbly illustrated with a range of dynamic air-to-air photographs, almost exclusively from the lens of Keith Wilson, a practitioner of air-to-air photography, with almost forty-five years’ experience. Whatever your specific taste in aviation, there is something for everyone to enjoy within the lavishly illustrated pages of this book.
Sonderkommando Elbe
By September 1944 the Third Reich was under constant attack by Allied bombers and suffering an onslaught by the Red Army to the east. The Nazi high command struggled for ideas to reduce the effect of the ceaseless bombing and thereby create some breathing space to build and strengthen their new weapon: jet-propelled aircraft. They believed that this new invention could turn the tide of the war. At the end of 1944 a proposal was offered by Oberst Hans-Joachim "Hajo" Herrmann. His plan called for 1,500 fighter aircraft to conduct a massive attack against an Allied bomber formation on April 7, 1945, inflicting such casualties that the Allies would think twice about continuing their bombing campaign. Attacking bombers was not a new idea, but the method of attack was new. The German pilots were to fly their planes into the bombers, causing enough damage to bring down the aircraft. Unlike the Japanese Kamikaze pilots who carried explosives on board and died in the attack, the German pilots were instructed to bail out and parachute to safety to fly another day. Sonderkommando Elbe: The Luftwaffe’s Kamikaze Force is the full story of the unit and its pilots.

No Exit from Vietnam
No Exit from Vietnam is a subversive, issue-driven memoir of the US-Vietnam war and its aftermath. In 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs discontinued a prescription for Vicodin that Bob Armstrong had been taking for a back injury he sustained in 1976, ten years after he left the US Marine Corps. What began as an appeal to the VA to reverse this decision became this memoir, weaving together meditations on war and its social ills with a searing portrait of America in these perilous times. Drawing on his personal experience, the author recounts his time serving as a photographer in the 3rd Marine Division. Told with thrilling tension, his words and his photos, a selection of which are featured in the book, paint a vivid picture of combat in Vietnam's jungles. Alongside gripping tales of action, the book offers a larger social commentary on the treatment of veterans and their healthcare. The VA reduced opioid pain medicine prescriptions from 679,000 vets in 2012 to 247,000 in 2020. Armstrong recognizes the dimension of the drug crisis, yet also believes an untold number of responsible veterans have been deprived of pain medicine they need. With humor and cynicism, the author shares his insights into living with pain and his frustration with the bureaucratic system that controls access to medication. He admits his opinions at times seem perverse and twisted, but only because he is "off his med."
The Great Realignment
The re-election of Donald Trump has illustrated in spectacular fashion the extent to which politics all over the world is in a state of continual flux. Old political configurations and parties are under unprecedented strain, with new forces, particularly on the hard right, challenging the status quo everywhere. Rejecting stale analyses based on moralistic panics about 'populism' or social media, political commentator Steve Davies shows how we are going through a deep-seated process of realignment rooted in underlying structural trends. We are transitioning, he argues, from an era where the key political division was over the economic structure of society to one where the primary division is between a vision rooted in national identity and sovereignty, and an essentially post-national cosmopolitanism. This change upends the ideological and electoral alliances that have structured our political systems for decades. No-one who wishes to truly understand the crises currently roiling the political status quo can afford to miss this stunning panoramic analysis of how this process works and how it is playing out across the world, from the USA and Germany to Argentina and India, and beyond.

The Wives of Henry VIII
The Wives of Henry VIII: Rethinking the Stories Behind the Symbols examines some of the small details about the six wives of Henry VIII that are often overlooked. This book is a revisionist close study that moves beyond the traditional narratives to present fresh, more nuanced perspectives. Focusing on significant moments and aspects that inform and showcase who these women were. Throughout these chapters, new research, fresh analysis, and remarkable discoveries come together to offer a deeper understanding of the women we know as the Six Wives of Henry VIII. We begin with a re-evaluation of Catherine of Aragon’s name through the lens of her family history and how it shaped her life, followed by an analysis of Catherine’s financial situation after the annulment. Anne Boleyn is considered in relation to her role in the Chateau Vert pageant, followed by an analysis of her use of French and English gable hoods, which includes a discussion of an incredible, newly discovered contemporary image of Anne. Jane Seymour’s religion and unpopularity are each examined in turn to uncover fresh perspectives on Henry’s third queen. Anna of Cleves’s adaption to life in England is discussed, followed by her life and status under Edward VI and Mary I. Katherine Howard’s performance of queenship is re-evaluated, as well as the connections between herself and and her cousin, Anne Boleyn. Finally, apocryphal tales of Kateryn Parr’s rise to the throne are reassessed, followed by an examination of how close she came to arrest and execution.
The Gestapo's Most Wanted: The White Mouse
The White Mouse: Gestapo’s Most Wanted tells the extraordinary true story of Nancy Wake during one of the darkest chapters in modern history. This new biography traces Nancy’s path across the globe, from her youth in Australia, to New York, London, Paris, and Marseilles – and her evolution from free-spirited journalist to wartime hero. When Europe slid towards war, Nancy found herself swept into the heart of the Resistance movement in Marseilles. And she chose to make a difference. What followed was a life marked by extraordinary courage, personal sacrifice, and unwavering defiance. Drawing on interviews, personal anecdotes, and rich historical detail, the book offers a full account of Nancy Wake’s life. It focuses not only on her most dangerous exploits but also examines the motivations and early influences that drove her to top the Gestapo’s Most Wanted List and become a leader in the Maquis. Her journey will take the reader from suburban Australia to daring missions behind enemy lines. More than just a tale of espionage, this is a story of risk, resilience, and the woman who made a vow to never look away from injustice — and kept it. Interwoven with historical context and dramatically retold, The White Mouse brings Nancy Wake’s courage and character to life, reclaiming her place in a period of history often dominated by men. For readers drawn to stories of defiance, resilience, and unsung wartime heroism, this is both an engaging biography and a reflection on bravery in the face of crisis.
Victorian London's Most Notorious Female Gang Leader
Born into the shadows of Victorian London, Mary Carr began her criminal career as a pickpocketing flower-girl, rising to be the undisputed Queen of the Forty Thieves. Under her rule, the Forty transformed from a band of violent, disorganised thieves into a ruthless, well-oiled gang, making a fortune from hotel robberies and blackmail. By 1891, Mary ruled Southwark, Lambeth, and beyond, her power extending from seedy back alleys to high society establishments. But Mary was more than just a criminal mastermind. A ‘swan-necked beauty’ and muse to esteemed artist Frederic Leighton, she navigated both the art world and the criminal underworld with ease. She was a revered gang boss and a beloved benefactor, caring for the families of imprisoned comrades and ruling with both generosity and iron discipline. When a young boy, Michael McGee, vanished at the Epsom races, eyes on the street turned to Mary, who had recently adopted a young blonde-haired boy and had been showing him off to the world. But her defiance would prove her undoing. Betrayed by an informant, she was arrested for child theft in 1896, sentenced to three years in prison, and lost everything. How does a woman who loses her home, her title and her son all in one blow rise agai? mma Woodhouse's compelling narrative unravels the legend of Mary Carr — a woman who defied Victorian expectations, reshaped London’s underworld, and became one of the most fascinating figures of her time.
