Global Discontents
What kind of world are we leaving to our grandchildren? How are the discontents kindled today likely to blaze and explode tomorrow?

Over the course of ten conversations with long-time collaborator David Barsamian, spanning 2013-2016, Chomsky argues in favour of radical changes to a system that cannot possibly cope with what awaits tomorrow.
Interwoven with personal reflections spanning from childhood to his eighth decade of life, Global Discontents also marks out Chomsky's own intellectual journey, mapping his progress to revolutionary ideas and global prominence.

Global goverance?
Kniha se zabývá historickými i aktuálními aspekty ideálu jednoty lidstva a hledání globální politické organizace. Následně systematicky představuje náboženské podněty k tématice mezinárodního řádu a koncepce tzv. světové politické autority, zejména z oblasti katolicky orientovaného sociálního myšlení a ze strany tzv. sociálního učení církve. Celkově je téma zasazeno i do kontextu paradigmat v oblasti teorie mezinárodních vztahů a rozličných konceptů tzv. globálního vládnutí (global governance). Kniha se kriticky se vyrovnává s určitou ambivalencí globální moci v politické teorii, katolickém sociálním myšlení, dalších křesťanských tradicích i jiných velkých světových náboženstvích. Určité řešení nalézá v rezignaci na požadavek světového státu, silně pojatého globálního vládnutí i příliš expanzivního chápání konceptu lidských práv. Toto může být současně shledáno jako dobré východisko k mezináboženskému a mezicivilizačnímu dialogu v kontextu globalizace.
Liberalism and Its Discontents
A defence of liberalism by the renowned political philosopher
Liberalism - the comparatively mild-mannered sibling to the more ardent camps of nationalism and socialism - has never been so divisive as today. From Putin's populism, the Trump administration and autocratic rulers in democracies the world over, it has both thrived and failed under identity politics, authoritarianism, social media and a weakened free press the world over.
Since its inception following the post-Reformation wars, liberalism has come under attack from conservatives and progressives alike, and today is dismissed by many as an 'obsolete doctrine'. In this brilliant and concise exposition, Francis Fukuyama sets out the cases for and against its classical premises: observing the rule of law, independence of judges, means over ends, and most of all, tolerance.
Pithy, to the point, and ever pertinent, this is political dissection at its very best.
The Global Merchants
The Sassoons were one of the great business dynasties of the nineteenth century, as eminent as traders as the Rothschilds were bankers.
This book reveals the secrets behind the family's phenomenal success: how a handful of Jewish exiles from Ottoman Baghdad forged a mercantile juggernaut from their new home in colonial Bombay, the vast network of agents, informants and politicians they built, and the way they came to bridge East and West, culturally as well as commercially. Through the lives these ambitious figures built for themselves, the reader is drawn into a captivating world of politics and power, innovation and intrigue, high society and empire.
The Global Merchants is thus at once a portrait of a single family and a panorama of the hundred and thirty years of their prominence: from the Opium Wars to the American Civil War, the establishment of the British Raj to India's independence. Together these give a fresh perspective on one of the defining forces of their age and the present: globalization. The Sassoons were variously its agents, advocates and casualties, and watching them moving through the world, we perceive the making of our own.
You Are A Global Citizen
Who are you? Why are you, you? What kind of person do you want to be?You Are A Global Citizen challenges us to take a deeper look at our role as global citizens, from the armchair traveller to the frequent flyer and everyone in between, providing a springboard for us to understand the world and other cultures by first understanding ourselves.
This uniquely accessible guided journal ignites your inner curiosity and encourages self-discovery through thought-provoking questions about the cultures you have experienced - including your own - all while helping you become a more inquisitive, aware, observant, and engaged world citizen. Whether you've never left home, are studying at university, looking to live and move abroad, or simply eager to explore your own identity within a global society, You Are A Global Citizen will help you understand how the outside world impacts what's going on inside your mind, and vice versa.In three sections covering your origins, your internal environment and your external environment, with space for reflection at the beginning and end, Damon Dominique, pioneer of the modern day social media travel scene and star of countless popular You Tube travel vlogs and documentaries, shares his insights and stories from a decade of globetrotting, guiding you through questions such as, 'Would you be happy if you knew you had to live in your hometown for the rest of your life?', 'What culture or country do you remember romanticizing about as a kid?', and 'How do you feel about a global language?', with the ultimate goal of encouraging you to consider the fundamental questions about who you are, what culture is and what it means to live in a global society, beyond the borders of our minds and countries.
The History of Art: A Global View
Written by a team of expert authors, this landmark textbook shows that art is more than European and extends far beyond the traditional canon.
The History of Art: A Global View answers the urgent need for a more global, inclusive way to teach the history of the world’s art. Led by Jean Robertson and Deborah Hutton, eleven specialists have cohered around the shared goal of bringing multiple perspectives to a worldwide narrative. The resulting survey represents every global region as an important part of an integrated, chronological history that emphasizes cross-cultural connections, contrasts and comparisons.
The first major art history textbook of the 21st century, The History of Art: A Global View equips students to understand the history of art in new and revealing ways.
Spill the Beans: Global Coffee Culture and Recipes
Coffee is the world's cup. Over 2.25 billion are brewed, sipped, and savored on a daily basis. A loyal companion and energetic facilitator of the everyday, coffee has sprouted an entire cafe culture and a booming industry. While the caffeine fix is hard to ignore, this beloved hot drink holds a rich and diverse history that sinks deeper than the bottom of the cup. Penned by expert journalist Lani Kingston, Spill the Beans takes the reader on a journey through Ethiopia, Guatemala, Vietnam, and many other countries in between, exploring the myriad ways in which coffee is produced, traded, and enjoyed. Hipster baristas may be dreaming up the next seasonal latte at this very moment, but the story of how the humble bean became a global icon is ingrained in history. An essential title for armchair travelers, curious foodies, and cafe-hoppers alike, Spill the Beans demonstrates that there's a vast world of coffee beyond the ubiquitous flat white. This book is an 'extra hot' commodity, maybe it is time to sample it?
Global Competition or Convergence?
Dynamika vnitřních změn v Číně – ať už tyto změny mají dopad na národní ekonomiku nebo na politický řád a rozdělení moci – mají bezprostřední vliv na vztahy země se zbytkem světa. Důležitou otázkou ve vztahu ke vzestupu Číny tedy je, jak a do jaké míry vnitřní změny v zemi ovlivňují její vnější chování, a tedy i vztahy se současným světovým hegemonem, Spojenými státy. Na základě dvou specifických případových studií tato publikace zkoumá, co bude střet dvou politicky, kulturně a ekonomicky odlišných systémů USA a Číny znamenat pro jejich budoucí interakce v 21. století. První studie je zaměřena na ideologický střet dvou odlišných politických kultur; druhá studie se zabývá ekonomickým a geopolitickým střetem mezi USA a Čínou na africkém kontinentě. Publikace ukáže, že ačkoliv se systémy obou zemí a jejich zahraniční politiky často jeví jako neslučitelné, tyto rozdíly nebudou nutně předurčovat konflikty ve vzájemných vztazích. Spojené státy budou spolupracovat s Čínou, i když ta nebude splňovat standardy „západní“ liberální demokracie, a stejně tak střet zájmů v Africe nebude pro oba aktéry znamenat hru s nulovým součtem.

Legacy: a gripping new novel from global bestselling author
The first time she met her father was the day he tried to kill her...
Adrian Rizzo didn't have the easiest childhood, to put it mildly, but she's worked hard to put it behind her and to the outside world she is a beautiful young woman with a successful, high-profile career and a wonderful family and friends.
When, out of the blue, she receives a death threat in the post, she is shocked but puts it down to someone's jealousy of her success and tries to forget about it. But Adrian doesn't realise that it's more than just spite. Someone is very, very angry about her happy life and will stop at nothing to bring it all crashing down.
Sapiens: From Neuronal Networks to Global Capitalism
This book is about the nature of people – it describes the urge drivers of human behaviour, called natural properties. This subject is off-colour and neglected in publish discourse. But it is a stupid attitude; this topic is simply too significant to be dismissed. Activities resulting from ignorance, or idealization of human qualities lead to social disturbances and cause a fatal ruining of the nature connected with climate change. Therefore this book.
