What makes a winner? Why do some succeed both in life and in business, and others fail? The ‘winner effect’ is a term used in biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you more focused, smarter, more confident and more aggressive. And the more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is that winning can become physically addictive.By understanding what the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of a ‘winner’, how they happen, and why they affect some people more than others, Robertson explains what makes a winner or a loser – and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand better the behaviour of our business colleagues, employees, family and friends.

In The Case of the Pope Geoffrey Robertson QC delivers a devastating indictment of the way the Vatican has run a secret legal system that shields paedophile priests from criminal trial around the world. Is the Pope morally or legally responsible for the negligence that has allowed so many terrible crimes to go unpunished? Should he and his seat of power, the Holy See, continue to enjoy an immunity that places them above the law? Geoffrey Robertson QC, a distinguished human rights lawyer and judge, evinces a deep respect for the good works of Catholics and their church. But, he argues, unless Pope Benedict XVI can divest himself of the beguilements of statehood and devotion to obsolescent canon law, the Vatican will remain a serious enemy to the advance of human rights.

The volume presents the author's articles written in the last fifteen years, dealing with the interaction between syntax, functional sentence perspective (information structure) and text in present-day English. It is divided into five parts, I Syntactic Constancy, II Syntax FSP Interface, III FSP and Semantics, IV Syntax, FSP, Text and V Style, which reveal the two facets of functional sentence perspective: syntactic structures as realization forms of the carriers of FSP functions, and the connection of FSP with the level of text. The first and the last two parts frame the content of the volume in treating the role of functional sentence perspective at the syntactic and the textual levels. At the former, FSP is investigated as a potential factor of syntactic divergence between English and Czech, at the latter the role of FSP is examined with respect to theme development, text build-up and style. The points discussed in the other parts concern, among others, the hierarchical relationship between syntax and FSP, the question of potentiality in FSP structure, different realization forms of FSP structure and FSP functions, general and specific questions of word order, with major attention paid to the role of semantics

A magisterial work of intellectual history that recasts the Enlightenment as a period not solely consumed with rationale and reason, but rather as a pursuit of practical means to achieve greater human happiness. One of the formative periods of European and world history, the Enlightenment is the fountainhead of modern secular Western values: religious tolerance, freedom of thought, speech and the press, of rationality and evidence-based argument. Yet why, over three hundred years after it began, is the Enlightenment so profoundly misunderstood as controversial, the expression of soulless calculation? The answer may be that, to an extraordinary extent, we have accepted the account of the Enlightenment given by its conservative enemies: that enlightenment necessarily implied hostility to religion or support for an unfettered free market, or that this was the best of all possible worlds. Ritchie Robertson goes back into the long eighteenth century, from approximately 1680 to 1790, to reveal what this much-debated period of European history was really about.Robertson returns to the eras original texts to show that above all, the Enlightenment was really about increasing human happiness in this world rather than the next by promoting scientific inquiry and reasoned argument.

This novel biography brings Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE) to life for a new generation of readers by exploring the emperor’s fascinating psychological journey. Donald J. Robertson examines Marcus’s relationships with key figures in his life, such as his mother, Domitia Lucilla, and the emperor Hadrian, as well as his Stoic tutors. He draws extensively on Marcus’s own Meditations and correspondence, and he examines the emperor’s actions as detailed in the Augustan History and other ancient texts.Marcus Aurelius struggled to reconcile his philosophy and moral values with the political pressures he faced as emperor at the height of Roman power.Robertson examines Marcus’s attitude toward slavery and the moral dilemma posed by capturing enemies in warfare; his attitude toward women; the role of Stoicism in shaping his response to the threat of civil war; the treatment of Christians under his rule; and the naming of his notorious son Commodus as his successor. Throughout, the Meditations is used to shed light on the mind of the emperor—his character, values, and motives—as Robertson skillfully weaves together Marcus’s inner journey as a philosopher with the outer events of his life as a Roman emperor.

What, in other words, does utopia look like in black?These questions animate Aaron Robertson’s exploration of Black Americans’ efforts to remake the conditions of their lives. Writing in the tradition of Saidiya Hartman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Robertson makes his way from his ancestral hometown of Promise Land, Tennessee, to Detroit – the city where he was born, and where one of the country’s most remarkable Black utopian experiments got its start. Founded by the brilliant preacher Albert Cleage Jr., the Shrine of the Black Madonna combined Afrocentric Christian practice with radical social projects. Central to this endeavour was the Shrine’s chancel mural of a Black Virgin and child, the icon of a nationwide liberation movement that would come to be known as Black Christian Nationalism.Alongside the Shrine’s story, Robertson reflects on a diverse array of Black utopian visions, from the Reconstruction era through the countercultural fervour of the 1960s and 1970s and into the ...

Jak můžeme aplikovat učení největšího antického filozofa v moderním životě?Sokrates je klíčovým athénským filozofem, zdrojem celé západní filozofické tradice a kmotrem stoiků. Celý život učil praktickou filozofii obyčejné lidi v ulicích Athén, přesto je dnes jen málo lidí obeznámeno s moudrostí, kterou nám může nabídnout.Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates vás přístupným a poučným způsobem provede životem jednoho z největších myslitelů v dějinách. Zároveň je první knihou, která se zaměřuje na aplikaci jeho myšlenek do našeho každodenního života. Autor Donald J. Robertson přenáší čtenáře do starověkých Athén a zkušeně splétá poutavé vyprávění o filozofovi, který se vyhýbal hmotným požitkům a stál si za svým přesvědčením i tváří v tvář kontroverzím s nezlomností, což nakonec vyústilo v jeho popravu.Kniha Myslet jako Sokrates zdůrazňuje trvalou hodnotu sokratovské metody pro moderní život. Robertson jako praktikující kognitivně-behaviorální psychoterapeut také využívá svých odborných znalostí, aby odhalil mnoho paralel mezi koncepty a technikami moderní psychologie a Sokratovou filozofií a ukázal, jak nás jeho filozofické postřehy mohou vést a být přínosné i v současnosti.

Ian Baker-Finch: To Hell and Back is the first and only biography of one of the best-known names in golfing circles. Charting Ian Baker-Finch’s story from his early golfing career through to his later success in media, it has been written with Ian’s full co-operation and explores the tragic circumstances behind the Australian golfer’s loss of form. When Ian Baker-Finch won the 1991 British Open, he became a household name. Yet his world collapsed after a dramatic and inexplicable loss of form a few years later. For over 30 years the golfing world has wondered, ‘What caused Ian Baker-Finch’s crash?’ This book provides the answers. Faced with the tragically premature end of his playing career, Ian not only recovered but went from strength to strength: he has been a world-class sports commentator and analyst for CBS and other networks for over 25 years. Ian Baker-Finch is known and admired across the golfing world, and his is a powerful story about a sportsman with the eyes of the world on him.

Elektronická kniha - autor Paul Rastall, 189 stran, anglicky Kniha je souborem dvanácti původních kapitol, které se zabývají různými syntaktickými, sémantickými a filozofickými otázkami. Autor k těmto problémům přistupuje integrovaně či holisticky a své argumenty dokládá četnými příklady jazyků tak rozmanitých, jako je mimo jiné angličtina, ruština nebo malajština. Každá kapitola je samostatným textem, ale celý soubor je svázán zastřešujícím společným tématem, jednotnou teorií a metodologií. Klíčovým pojmem knihy je syntetická syntax, která představuje zásadní alternativu k většině současných syntaktických přístupů. Rastall prosazuje chápání jazyka jako prostředku, jímž lidé vyjadřují své zkušenosti. V jádru tohoto přístupu je vnitrojazyková a mezijazyková rozmanitost. Aspekty zkušenosti jsou zachyceny (nebo pojmenovány) základními jazykovými jednotkami, znaky (slovy i idiomy a rčeními), a tyto znaky jsou seskupeny tak, aby odrážely skutečné nebo vnímané vztahy...

Mnoho císařů, kteří vládli ve své době největší známé říši, bylo zapomenuto. Na jejich busty v příšeří tmavých depozitářů muzeí sedá prach. Jeden z nich nás ale svými myšlenkami dokáže inspirovat i po dvou tisících letech. Marcus Aurelius. Později často představovaný jako nemocný nebo bledý, který ale přežil nejen zášť na římském dvoře, ale také smrt svých dětí, mnohaletý pobyt kdesi na severu v Panonii mezi divokými barbarskými kmeny nebo zradu svého nejbližšího přítele. Jak to dokázal, zachovat se vždy moudře a rozvážně? Co mu pomáhalo v těžkých situacích? Co se mu asi honilo v hlavě? Je to stoický přístup k věcem. Římský císař Marcus Aurelius byl zároveň posledním známým stoickým filosofem antického světa. Hovory k sobě, jeho osobní deník, jsou čtené dodnes jako jedno z klasických děl seberozvojové a duchovní literatury všech dob. Donald Robertson ve své knize umně propojuje Markův život s jeho filosofií, čímž vytváří přesvědčivou moderní příručku stoické moudrosti, kterou se po celá staletí řídil bezpočet jednotlivců na své cestě za dosažením většího naplnění a emoční odolnosti.

In Crimes Against Humanity, Geoffrey Robertson QC explains why we must hold political and military leaders accountable for genocide, torture and mass murder. He shows how human rights standards can be enforced against cruel governments, armies and multi-national corporations. This seminal work contains a critical perspective on events such as the invasion of Iraq, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the killings in Darfur, the death of Milosevic and the trial of Saddam Hussein. Cautiously optimistic about ending impunity, but unsparingly critical of diplomats, politicians, Bush lawyers and others who evade international rules, this book will provide further guidance to a movement which aims to make justice predominant in world affairs.

In Messy Maths: A Playful, Outdoor Approach for Early Years, Juliet Robertson offers a rich resource of ideas that will inspire you to tap into the endless supply of patterns, textures, colours and quantities of the outdoors and deepen children''s understanding of maths through hands-on experience. Juliet believes being outside makes maths real. In the classroom environment, maths can seem disconnected from everyday reality but real maths is really messy. Lots of outdoor play and engaging activity along the way is a must, as being outside enables connections to be made between the hands, heart and head, and lays the foundations for more complex work as children grow, develop and learn. Following on from the success of Dirty Teaching (ISBN 978-178135107-9), Messy Maths reimagines the outdoor space through a mathematical lens providing a treasure trove of suggestions that will empower you to blend outdoor learning into your teaching practice.
