Dictionary of Zen Buddhist Terminology (A-K) (978-80-725-4438-7)
Elektronická kniha - autor Kamil V. Zvelebil, 168 stran The purpose of the present work is to be a handy, ready-to-use aid to those who practice Zen Buddhism rather than a detailed scholarly work destined for „Buddhologists“. To compile an exhaustive dictionary of Zen Buddhist terms in English, Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese is beyond the capability of an individual. Hence, what is offered for daily use of the practitioners is a basic and indispensable „pocket“ glossary of Zen Buddhist terminology, of words encountered in temples and monasteries as well as in some basic literature. The author has received Buddhist precepts in the ceremony of lay ordination on 4. 9. 1989 in Kyoto, Japan. He is also a former professor of Indian studies at the universities of Prague, Heidelberg, Chicago, Utrecht and the College de France. Every single entry in the glossary was sent off for criticism and approval to Daitsu Tom Wright, a Zen Buddhist monk...

Rezkova kniha Koření chudých Vám zprostředkuje pravou atmosféru 70. a 80. let bez jakéhokoliv romantizování a klišé.Rozsáhlý román Aleše Rezka se odehrává v normalizačním Československu 70. a 80. let. Jedná se o spleť historek, primárně hospodských a postelových, které spojují Rezkovi (anti)hrdinové Nikola a Petr. Právě na příběhu těchto tápajících postav Rezek nabízí mimořádnou generační výpověď své doby.V šedivém světě, jehož středobodem jsou pro oba dospívající muže dívky, všeobjímající skepse a s ní spojené alkoholové opojení, se každý snaží nelézt svůj kousek štěstí a pravou identitu. Svou citlivostí a satirickým nadhledem však román nikdy nesklouzne do deprese.Řešení svého tápání hrdinové nacházejí zcela protichůdná.

Elektronická kniha - autor Olga Marečková, Eva Patlejchová, Markéta Hovorková, 80 stran Mezi nejčastější onemocnění zevně sekretorické části pankreatu patří akutní a vleklá pankreatitida.

Autorky odpovídají v úvodních kapitolách na otázky, proč je třeba omezovat právě tuky, jaká je úloha pankreatu při trávicích pochodech a které funkce budou při onemocnění pankreatu nejdříve postiženy. Hlavním těžištěm knihy je však bohatý rejstřík receptů, neboť dieta je při chronické pankreatitidě podstatnou součástí léčby.

Ženské deníky (978-80-725-4956-6)
Elektronická kniha - autor Milena Lenderová, 384 stran Osobní deníky patří mezi prameny soukromé povahy, teprve v poslední době docenili historikové jejich význam. Ženskými deníky se v českých zemích zatím nikdo nezabýval, dlouho se zdálo, že se jich dochoval jen zlomek. Až na výjimky souvisí vznik ženských autobiografických textů deníkového či memoárového typu s osvícenstvím; na rozdíl od historicky starších deníků mužských se objevují právě tehdy, a stejně jako ony nejdřív v šlechtickém prostředí. V průběhu dlouhého 19. století jich v českých zemích přibývá a sociální i věkové spektrum jejich autorek se rozšiřuje. Zhruba sedmdesát objevených deníků přibližuje svět dívek, mladých i starších žen předminulého věku: jejich každodenní starosti, zájmy, lásky i trápení.

Zen a umění údržby motocyklu (978-80-751-1378-8)

Pirsig v knize Zen a umění údržby motocyklu „zamazal filosofii od oleje“„Hvězdné nebe nade mnou, seřízený motor pode mnou a zenový klid ve mně,“ nabízí se poznamenat po přečtení této knihy.Pirsig se svým Zkoumáním hodnot (jak zní podtitul svazku) vlétl do rozčarovaných 70. let jako sršeň do vosího hnízda a způsobil na literární, filosofické i vědecké scéně menší zemětřesení. Kniha se stala okamžitě bestsellerem, následovala vlna více či méně úspěšných epigonů a překlady do mnoha světových jazyků. Text tak v sobě spojuje zdánlivě neslučitelné žánry cestovního deníku, románu a filosofických úvah. Zážitky z cesty jsou komentovány a uváděny do souvislostí s vykládanou metafyzikou, která neméně závažně ovlivňuje vypravěčův vnitřní život a vztah k jeho synovi.Pirsig tu usiluje o smíření dvou zásadních směrů lidského chápání, které až doposud existovaly ve vzájemné opozici.

Birds of Prey jsou víc než jen tým: Batgirl, Black Canary a Huntress jsou kámošky, kumpánky a ségry. I když se členská základna týmu rozroste o Catwoman, Poison Ivy, a dokonce i Harley Quinnovou, jeho jádrem zůstávají tři hrdinky – Barbara, Dinah a Helena. Co se však stane, když důvěru, která je spojuje, naruší zrada? Barbara Gordonová není jen Batgirl – je také špičkovou hackerkou, známou pod jménem Oracle, která se prolomila do počítačového systému nebezpečného překupníka informací, který si říká Calculator, aby krůček po krůčku zlikvidovala jeho zločinný byznys. Když si však Calculator udělá z nalezení a zničení Oracle životní poslání, odhalí Dinah s Helenou, že k nim Barbara nebyla úplně upřímná ohledně zdroje svých informací... a v křížové palbě začnou umírat nevinní. Ve chvíli, kdy se proti nim spojí...

The Zen Buddhist Philosophy of D. T. Suzuki - Rossa O Muireartaigh
D.T. Suzuki (1870-1966) reached global fame for his writings on Zen Buddhism. In this introduction to his theories of self, knowledge, and the world, Suzuki is presented as a Buddhist philosopher in his own right.Beginning with a biography of his life providing the historical context to his thought and discussing Suzuki’s influences, chapters cover the Zen notion of the non-self and Suzuki''s Zen view of consciousness, language, and religious truths. His ideas about philosophy and radical views on rationality and faith come to life in two new complete translations of The Place of Peace in our Heart (1894) and Religion and Science (1949), which helps us to understand why Suzuki’s description of Zen attracted the attention of many leading intellectuals and helped it become a household name in the English-speaking world.Offering the first complete overview of Suzuki’s approach, reputation, and legacy as a philosopher, this is for anyone interested in the philosophical relevance and development of Mahayana Buddhism today.

Když ale přijdou o dům a vydají se do Chicaga hledat nový život, ze kterého se nakonec vyklubou jen prázdné sliby, Reba se nervově zhroutí a Sugar zůstane na všechno sama. Zanedlouho se dostane do pěstounské péče, kde jí dělá společnost pouze její milovaný pejsek Myška. Naštěstí Sugar zůstalo jedno pouto se starým životem v podobě bývalého učitele pana Bennetta, který ji povzbuzuje k psaní. A čím déle si Sugar vylévá srdíčko do upřímných básní, které odrážejí její strach a zmatenost, ale také sny a víru v lidi, tím lépe začíná chápat, že domov je místo, které si člověk nosí v srdci.

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows - John Koenig
A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express, until now—from the creator of the popular online project of the same name.Have you ever wondered about the lives of each person you pass on the street, realizing that everyone is the main character in their own story, each living a life as vivid and complex as your own? That feeling has a name: “sonder.” Or maybe you’ve watched a thunderstorm roll in and felt a primal hunger for disaster, hoping it would shake up your life. That’s called “lachesism.” Or you were looking through old photos and felt a pang of nostalgia for a time you’ve never actually experienced. That’s “anemoia.” If you’ve never heard of these terms before, that’s because they didn’t exist until John Koenig began his epic quest to fill the gaps in the language of emotion. Born as a website in 2009, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows has garnered widespread critical acclaim, inspired TED talks, album titles, cocktails, and even tattoos.

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage - H. W. Fowler
'What grammarians say should be has perhaps less influence on what shall be than even the more modest of them realize ...' No book had more influence on twentieth-century attitudes to the English language in Britain than Henry Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage. It rapidly became the standard work of reference for the correct use of English in terms of choice of words, grammar, and style. Much loved for his firm opinions, passion, and dry humour, Fowler has stood the test of time and is still considered the best arbiter of good practice. In this new edition of the original Dictionary, David Crystal goes beyond the popular mythology surrounding Fowler's reputation to retrace his method and arrive at a fresh evaluation of his place in the history of linguistic thought. With a wealth of entertaining examples he looks at Fowler's stated principles and the tensions between his prescriptive and descriptive temperaments. He shows that the Dictionary does a great more than make normative recommendations and expressprivate opinion. In addition he offers a modern perspective on some 300 entries, in which he shows how English has changed since the 1920s. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics ...
