Deirdre Nansen McCloskey's latest meticulous work examines how economics can become a more "human" science. Economic historian Deirdre Nansen McCloskey has distinguished herself through her writing on the Great Enrichment and the betterment of the poor—not just materially but spiritually. In Bettering Humanomics she continues her intellectually playful yet rigorous analysis with a focus on humans rather than the institutions. Going against the grain of contemporary neo-institutional and behavioral economics which privilege observation over understanding, she asserts her vision of “humanomics,” which draws on the work of Bart Wilson, Vernon Smith, and most prominently, Adam Smith. She argues for an economics that uses a comprehensive understanding of human action beyond behaviorism.  McCloskey clearly articulates her points of contention with believers in “imperfections,” from Samuelson to Stiglitz, claiming that they have neglected scientific analysis in their haste to diagnose the ills of the system. In an engaging and erudite manner, she reaffirms the global successes of market-tested betterment and calls for empirical investigation that advances from material incentives to an awareness of the human within historical and ethical frameworks. Bettering Humanomics offers a critique of contemporary economics and a proposal for an economics as a better human science.

But who numbered the first house, and where, and why? What can addresses tell us about who we are and how we live together? Deirdre Mask looks at the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King, Jr., how ancient Romans found their way, and why Bobby Sands is memorialised in Tehran. She explores why it matters if, like millions of people today, you don''t have an address. From cholera epidemics to tax hungry monarchs, Mask discovers the different ways street names are created, celebrated, and in some cases, banned. Full of eye-opening facts, fascinating people and hidden history, this book shows how addresses are about identity, class and race. But most of all they are about power: the power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn''t, and why.''A must read for urbanists ... Unknown localization key: "more"

An insightful and passionately written book explaining why a return to Enlightenment ideals is good for the world  "Beginning with the simple but fertile idea that people should not push other people around, Deirdre McCloskey presents an elegant defense of 'true liberalism' as opposed to its well-meaning rivals on the left and the right. Erudite, but marvelously accessible and written in a style that is at once colloquial and astringent."—Stanley Fish The greatest challenges facing humankind, according to Deirdre McCloskey, are poverty and tyranny, both of which hold people back. Arguing for a return to true liberal values, this engaging and accessible book develops, defends, and demonstrates how embracing the ideas first espoused by eighteenth-century philosophers like Locke, Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft is good for everyone.  With her trademark wit and deep understanding, McCloskey shows how the adoption of Enlightenment ideals of liberalism has propelled the freedom and prosperity that define the quality of a full life. In her view, liberalism leads to equality, but equality does not necessarily lead to liberalism. Liberalism is an optimistic philosophy that depends on the power of rhetoric rather than coercion, and on ethics, free speech, and facts in order to thrive.

Těsně pod vrcholem 3190 metrů vysoké hory ve východním Afghánistánu zuřila před svítáním 4. března 2002 prudká bitva. John Chapman, speciální taktický operátor amerického letectva, a hrstka příslušníků Navy SEAL se proti přesile bojovníků Al-Káidy snažila vystoupat na vrchol v zoufalém pokusu najít ztraceného spolubojovníka. Chapman, který akci velel, utrpěl při prvním útoku zranění. Velitel jeho skupiny Navy SEAL nařídil ústup v přesvědčení, že je mrtvý. Chapman přišel znovu k vědomí osamocený a ze tří stran se k němu blížil nepřítel. John Chapman poté prokázal neuvěřitelnou odvahu, aby nejprve zachránil životy svých týmových kolegů SEAL. S vědomím, že je smrtelně zraněn, se sám střetl s dvacítkou ostřílených bojovníků, aby zachránil životy členů přicházejícího záchranného družstva. Za svou statečnost obdržel posmrtně Medaili cti.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,469-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides.John Chapman''s subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor.

An argument for a design philosophy of better, not more.Never have we wanted, owned, and wasted so much stuff. Our consumptive path through modern life leaves a wake of social and ecological destruction--sneakers worn only once, bicycles barely even ridden, and forgotten smartphones languishing in drawers. By what perverse alchemy do our newest, coolest things so readily transform into meaningless junk? In Meaningful Stuff, Jonathan Chapman investigates why we throw away things that still work, and shows how we can design products, services, and systems that last. Obsolescence is an economically driven design decision--a plan to hasten a product''s functional or psychological undesirability. Many electronic devices, for example, are intentionally impossible to dismantle for repair or recycling, their brief use-career proceeding inexorably to a landfill. A sustainable design specialist who serves as a consultant to global businesses and governmental organizations, Chapman calls for the decoupling of economic activity from mindless material consumption and shows how to do it.Chapman shares his vision for an "experience heavy, material light" design sensibility. This vital and timely new design philosophy reveals how meaning emerges from designed encounters between people and things, explores ways to increase the quality and longevity of our relationships with objects ...

Often hailed as the ''best'' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman''s study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film’s important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film''s development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming''s source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film''s portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest (1959).

The economist and historian Deirdre Nansen McCloskey has been best known recently for her Bourgeois Era trilogy, a vigorous defense, unrivaled in scope, of commercially tested betterment. Its massive volumes, The Bourgeois Virtues, Bourgeois Dignity, and Bourgeois Equality, solve Adam Smith’s puzzle of the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, and of the moral sentiments of modernity.  The world got rich, she argues, not chiefly by material causes but by an idea and a sentiment, a new admiration for the middle class and its egalitarian liberalism.  For readers looking for a distillation of McCloskey’s magisterial work, Leave Me Alone and I’ll Make You Rich is what you’ve been waiting for. In this lively volume, McCloskey and the economist and journalist Carden bring together the trilogy’s key ideas and its most provocative arguments.

These are the books you should read. This is the canon. Joan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay have curated a decolonized reading list that celebrates the wide and diverse experiences of people from around the world, of all backgrounds and all races. It disrupts the all-too-often white-dominated 'required reading' collections that have become the accepted norm and highlights powerful voices and cultural perspectives that demand a place on our shelves. From literary giants such as Toni Morrison and Chinua Achebe to less well known (but equally vital) writers such as Caribbean novelist Earl Lovelace or Indigenous Australian author Tony Birch, the novels recommended here are in turn haunting and lyrical; innovative and inspiring; edgy and poignant. The power of great fiction is that readers have the opportunity to discover new worlds and encounter other beliefs and opinions. This is the Canon offers a rich and multifaceted perspective on our past, present and future which deserves to be read by all bibliophiles - whether they are book club members or solitary readers, self-educators or teachers.

Väčšina ľudí venuje neporovnateľne viac času príprave na svoje budúce povolanie, než príprave na manželstvo,“ hovorí Dr. Gary Chapman. Drvivá väčšina slobodných dospelých túži po manželskom vzťahu na celý život a nechcú, aby oni sami a prípadne ich deti museli prežiť bolestnú skúsenosť rozvodu. Tragédiou je, že mnoho z nich nemá ani najmenšiu predstavu, ako budovať takéto manželstvo. Aj to je dôvodom vysokej rozvodovosti. Známy autor a manželský poradca Gary Chapman dúfa, že sa mu svojou najnovšou knihou podarí aspoň trochu tento trend zmierniť. Má 35-ročnú skúsenosť s manželským poradenstvom a je presvedčený, že dôvodom rozvodov je aj nedostatočná príprava na manželstvo a neschopnosť a neochota naučiť sa vo vzťahu spolupracovať.

What is Anglicanism? How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world? Although originally united by location and a common belief, Anglicanism has gradually lost its pre-eminence as the English state church due to increasing pluralisation and secularisation. While there are distinctive themes and emphases which emerge from its early history and theology, there is little sense of unity in Anglicanism today. In Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction, Mark Chapman highlights the diversity of contemporary Anglicanism by exploring its fascinating history, theology, and structures. Putting the history and development of the religion into context, Chapman reveals what it is that holds Anglicanism together despite the recent crises that threaten to tear it apart.

V srdci muža sa ukrýva túžba zvládať všetko, čo sa mu zdá dôležité.

Audiokniha: Niekto túži po pozornosti, iný po pochvale; pre niekoho sú veľmi dôležité darčeky, pre ďalšieho vymenená žiarovka či ožehlená košeľa a zas iný potrebuje fyzický dotyk. Audiokniha vám objasní každý z týchto jazykov, pomôže vám objaviť jazyk lásky vás a vášho partnera a dozviete sa aj, ako prakticky týmto jazykom hovoriť. Cieľom nie je vyjasniť zmätok ohľadne slov láska či milovať, ale zamerať sa na prejavy lásky, ktorá je nevyhnutná pre naše emocionálne zdravie. Gary Chapman hovorí, že jednou z príčin neporozumenia v manželstve je to, že každý z nás hovorí iným jazykom lásky. Počas svojej viac ako 30-ročnej poradenskej praxe identifikoval päť jazykov lásky: Slová uistenia, Pozornosť, Prijímanie darov, Skutky služby, Fyzický dotyk. Keď identifikujeme a naučíme sa hovoriť jazykom lásky nášho partnera, objavili sme kľúč k dlhotrvajúcemu, milujúcemu manželskému vzťahu. Láska sa po svadbe nemusí vypariť, no aby sme ju udržiavali živú, potrebujeme zapracovať na tom, aby sme sa naučili hovoriť jazykom lásky nášho partnera. Nemôžeme si vystačiť s naším vlastným jazykom, ak mu nerozumie. Ak chceme, aby rozumel prejavom našej lásky a cítil ju, musíme ju prejavovať v jeho jazyku.
