How the wisdom of Herodotus can fortify us against political falsehoods and violent extremism  Nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek writer Herodotus introduced the concept of objective truth derived from factual investigation and empirical deduction. Writing just before the start of the catastrophic Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE), Herodotus addressed an increasingly polarized Greek world. His Histories demonstrates that the capacity for humane moral action depends on the ability to resist unthinking allegiance to authoritative fictions. Herodotus offers an indispensable, nonpartisan approach for countering poisonous ideologies and violent conflict emanating from all extremes of the political kaleidoscope.  Interpreting some of Herodotus’s most compelling stories, Emily Katz Anhalt illuminates this ancient writer’s vital insights concerning sexual violence, deception, foreign ways, political equality, and more. The Histories urges us to value reality, restrain destructive passions, and acknowledge the essential humanity of every human being—crucial guidance for navigating our own divisive and volatile political climate. Inviting us to take responsibility for our own choices and their consequences, Herodotus exposes autocratic leadership and abuses of power as self-defeating. Herodotus guides readers in assembling and assessing information, distinguishing fact from fiction, and making compassionate moral evaluations. The ancient Greeks never achieved an egalitarian, just society. Herodotus equips us to do better.

Ancient Chinese culture has a been a rich source of wisdom for many millennia. Chinese Wisdom provides a concise insight into the ideas of great Chinese thinkers, arranged thematically. Living in the 5th century BCE, great teacher Confucius laid the foundations for an outlook and way of life that focused on correct behaviour, humaneness and respect for one’s elders, precepts that are deeply embedded across East Asian countries to this day. His disciple, Meng Ke, outlined new ideas for rulers which provided the basis of Chinese political culture for many centuries afterwards. Laozi, the founder of Taoism and author of the Tao Te Ching, wrote about the Tao, or the Way – the correct way of living attainable to all and which links all things. Sun Tzu’s Art of War provides advice on how to overcome and outwit an opponent (the basic tenets of which are often applied to business strategy today), while Zhu Xi taught the advantages of meditation as a method for self-knowledge and self-cultivation. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Chinese Wisdom offers more than 80 succinct quotes from Chinese thinkers through the ages, on topics as wide- ranging as filial piety, love, clear thinking, work, business, war and family. A compact volume for anyone interested in ancient Chinese thought Features more than 80 quotes from great Chinese thinkers, such as Sun Tzu, Laozi, Zhi Xi and Confucius A beautifully packaged gift made using traditional Chinese book-binding techniques

Here, she recounts what it was like coming of age in Texas and Arizona in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s in a decidedly dysfunctional family. To escape her turbulent family life, Emily throws herself into her ballet classes, where she can dance out the anxiety in her body and take refuge in fantasy worlds.

Join Emily as she survives her troubled family, hangs out with dance royalty, saves Martha Graham, meets the Queen of England, slings hash in a diner, discovers her sexuality, and tries to figure out how it’s all going fit together in her ballerina world in this story of a brave and sometimes bumbling girl charging her way through life.

Occupying roles similar to those of modern sharks, seals and whales, they filled the ancient oceans for a period of 180 million years.Darren charts the evolutionary rise of the ancient sea reptiles and their domination of the Mesozoic seas. He reveals how these reptiles moved in water, the anatomical advantages of their soft tissue, skin and blubber, how their jaws were specialised for aquatic prey, and the sensory organs that enabled them to see, smell or hear underwater.Later chapters focus on each of the major lineages: the shark-shaped ichthyosaurs, the long-necked plesiosaurs; the crocodile-like thalattosuchians, the fast-swimming mosasaurs and the first sea turtles.The softback book is richly illustrated with photographs of striking specimens and artistic reconstructions which bring these giants of the sea to life.

With her music and boundless passion for life, Tina Turner enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Peter Lindbergh was a lifelong friend of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and shot intimate portraits of her over many years. Tina Turner by Peter Lindbergh With her music and boundless passion for life, Tina Turner enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Peter Lindbergh was a lifelong friend of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and shot intimate portraits of her over many years. Lindbergh’s photographs do more than just document her iconic status; they reveal the powerful, joyful, and at times introverted woman behind the public persona. Through his lens, Peter Lindbergh captured Tina Turner’s radiant energy with an incredible sensitivity and his impeccable understanding of dramatic composition. His work shows Tina in all her complexity, blending her fierce spirit with quieter, more reflective moments.Across numerous settings—from the stage to the beach, from the streets to the iconic Eiffel Tower, with the city of Paris sprawling beneath her—Peter portrayed Tina throughout the years, always capturing the real Tina. His photos depict her singing, dancing, and simply being herself, effortlessly showcasing the depth of her character. Each image tells a story, a testament to her vitality and complexity, both on stage and in life. In each of these portraits, Tina is immediately recognizable. The book, which includes a personal foreword by Tina Turner’s husband Erwin Bach, is a heartfelt tribute to the friendship and deep connection between two artists who shaped the cultural landscape of the 20th century. It’s more than a collection of photographs; it’s a celebration of a shared journey of creativity, trust, and mutual respect. “We were partners in crime,” remembers Tina. “He was willing to try anything—and so was I! Together, we made magic!” The magic they made together lives on in Peter Lindbergh’s photographs. This book—a collection of images created during their long professional collaboration and enduring friendship—tells their special story. The photographer Peter Lindbergh was one of the world's most important fashion and portrait photographers. He made his mark in the halls of photographic history when he shot the iconic Vogue cover that first brought together a group of young women who would become the ’90s supermodels. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof, the Berlin Museum for Contemporary Art, Bunkamura Museum of Art in Tokyo, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, and Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf.

Taoističtí adepti vyvinuli tchaj-ťi jako bojové umění a současně jako způsob kultivace fyzického, energetického a duchovního těla. Stejně jako u všech taoistických cvičení je jeho hlavním cílem vytvořit spojení se základní energií, která je prapůvodem veškerého života: čchi. Až do začátku dvacátého století bylo tchaj-ťi tajným uměním, které se předávalo pouze v rámci pevně semknuté struktury rodiny a věrných žáků. I navzdory rostoucí popularitě tchaj-ťi jakožto bojového umění a cvičení pro zdraví jsou mnohé z jeho základních vnitřních praktik ještě i dnes neznáme. Autoři knihy názorně ukazují, jaký je vztah vnitřní struktury tchaj-ťi vůči absorpci, transformaci a cirkulaci tří sil, které oživují všechen život - univerzální síly, kosmické síly a zemské síly, a současně tak odhalují principy a praktiky potřebné pro získání celého spektra fyzických, psychických a duchovních přínosů, které vám může tchaj-ťi přinést. (zvládnutí klasických forem tchaj-ťi čchi-kungu).

''In this masterpiece, Jamil Zaki weaves together the very latest science with stories that will stay in your heart forever'' - Angela Duckworth, author of Grit ''Scientific, gripping, groundbreaking and hopeful. The War for Kindness is the message for our times'' - Carol Dweck, author of Mindset Empathy has been on people''s mind a lot lately. Philosophers, evolutionary scientists and indeed former President Obama agree that an increase in empathy could advance us beyond the hatred, violence and polarization in which the world seems caught. Others disagree, arguing it is easiest to empathize with people who look, talk or think like us. As a result, empathy can inspire nepotism, racism and worse. Having studied the neuroscience and psychology of empathy for over a decade, Jamil Zaki thinks both sides of this debate have a point. Empathy is sometimes an engine for moral progress, and other times for moral failure. But Zaki also thinks that both sides are wrong about how empathy works. Both scientists and non-scientists commonly argue that empathy is something that happens to you, sort of like an emotional knee-jerk reflex. Second, they believe it happens more to some people than others. This lines people up along a spectrum, with deep empaths on one end and psychopaths on the other. What''s more, wherever we are on that spectrum, we''re stuck there. In The War for Kindness, Zaki lays out a very different view of how empathy works, one that breaks these two assumptions. Empathy is not a reflex; it''s a choice. We choose empathy (or apathy) constantly: when we read a tragic novel, or cross the street to avoid a homeless person, or ask a distraught friend what''s the matter. This view has crucial consequences: if empathy is less a trait (like height), and more a skill (like being good at word games), then we can improve at it. By choosing it more often, we can flex our capabilities and grow more empathic over time. We can also "tune" empathy, ramping it up in situations where it will help and turning it down when it might backfire. Zaki takes us from the world of doctors who train medical students to empathise better to social workers who help each other survive empathising too much. From police trainers who help cadets avoid becoming violent cops to political advocates who ask white Americans to literally walk a (dusty) mile in Mexican immigrants'' shoes. This book will give you a deepened understanding of how empathy works, how to control it and how to become the type of empathiser you want to be.
