Mary Beard''s new book Emperor of Rome is available nowAncient Rome matters.Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today.SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world''s foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome.SPQR is the Romans'' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, ''the Senate and People of Rome''.

Krátký feministický manifest od oceňované autorky Mary Beard, ve kterém pátrá po kořenech misogynie od antické mytologie až po současnost. Anotace: Profesorka antické literatury Mary Beardová je britské veřejnosti dobře známá, vedle akademické práce se věnuje také populárně naučným projektům a její hlas silně a často zaznívá ve veřejné debatě. Mary Beardová se však nevyjadřuje pouze k tématu tisíce let staré literatury a kultury. Promlouvá též o feministických tématech a problémy dneška dovede nejen brilantně analyzovat, ale také vysvětlit historické důvody jejich vzniku. Ve dvou přednáškách, jejichž upravenou verzi přináší tento svazek, profesorka Beardová s precizností a vtipem analyzuje, jakým překážkám musely napříč historií ženy, a zejména ženy, jež usilovaly o jakoukoli veřejnou roli, čelit a dokumentuje to na příkladech sahajících od literární postavy Odysseovy věrné manželky Penelopy až po kandidátku na prezidentku USA Hillary Clintonovou. Beardová zkoumá historické kořeny misogynie, ilustruje snahu o umlčení ženského hlasu na veřejnosti a rozebírá naše kulturní vzorce vnímání místa ženy ve společnosti a problematické vnímání žen v pozici moci. S rozsahem jen něco přes sto stran mohou Ženy a moc vypadat jako drobné dílko, ale nenechte se zmást. Tato kniha vydá za tlusté svazky, a neumlčí ji ani Telemachos, ani nikdo jiný. - Sarah E. Bond, Forbes Jasná výzva všem ženám, aby pozvedly hlas, převedly slova v činy a předefinovaly vlastní moc. - People Magazine Vtipný a přesvědčivý manifest. - New York Times Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

Control the sea, and you control everything...a gripping tale of naval warfare, dynastic rivalry, and technical innovation, from the author of the classic work Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World.Genghis Khan built a formidable land empire, but he never crossed the sea. Yet by the time his grandson Kublai Khan had defeated the last vestiges of the Song empire and established the Yuan dynasty in 1279, the Mongols controlled the most powerful navy in the world. How did a nomad come to conquer China and master the sea? Based on ten years of research and a lifetime of immersion in Mongol culture and tradition, Emperor of the Seas brings this little-known story vibrantly to life. Kublai Khan is one of history’s most fascinating characters. He brought Islamic mathematicians to his court, where they invented modern cartography and celestial measurement. He transformed the world’s largest land mass into a unified, diverse and economically progressive empire, introducing paper money. And, after bitter early setbacks, he transformed China into an outward looking sea-faring empire. By the end of his reign, the Chinese were building and supplying remarkable ships to transport men, grain, and weapons over vast distances, of a size and dexterity that would be inconceivable in Europe for hundreds of years. Khan had come to a brilliant realization: control the sea, and you control everything. A master storyteller with an unparalleled grasp of Mongol sources, Jack Weatherford shows how Chinese naval hegemony changed the world forever - revolutionizing world commerce and transforming tastes as far away as England and France.

Kytarový efekt Mary-K je pedálový efekt značky JHS Pedals z řady Legends of Fuzz, která si klade za cíl věrně replikovat obvody těch nejslavnějších fuzz efektů z celého světa a tím jim vzdát hold. Tato série odstartovala v roce 2020 se svými prvními čtyřmi efekty a teď přináší další tři přírůstky do sbírky. Mary-K je jedním z nich. Inspirací pro Mary-K se stal efekt Kay Fuzz Tone z dílny společnosti Kay Musical Instruments, který se poprvé objevil na trhu v roce 1968 a ovládal se jednoduše jedním pedálem. Původně se jednalo o cenově dostupnější verzi efektu Univox Superfuzz, takže zde uslyšíte kromě fuzz efektu také oktávovou linku. O popularitu Kay Fuzzu se zasloužil zejména kytarista Edge z kapely U2. Krabička Mary-K je osazena dvěma ovladači, které slouží k nastavení výstupní hlasitosti (Volume) a ovládání charakteru tónu od jasného po temný (Frequency). Pokud byste efekt chtěli používat podobně jako původní Kay Fuzz, můžete ke krabičce připojit externí expression pedál a parametr Frequency ovládat jeho sešlápnutím. Na levé straně krabičky najdete přepínač Mode, jehož stlačením aktivujete unikátní režim JHS, který zesílí středové frekvence zvukového signálu. Krabičku můžete napájet standardně 9V adaptérem nebo také 9V baterií. JHS Pedals je mladá americká firma, která vznikla teprve v roce 2007 a od té doby nabízí prvotřídní produkty s minimalistickým designem a intuitivním ovládáním. Joshe Scotta přivedla k založení společnosti vášeň pro kytarové efekty a jejich fungování – ta se podepisuje na každém jednotlivém kousku. Všechny efekty jsou sestaveny v americkém Kansas City a při jejich výrobě je dbáno na precizní zhotovení všech detailů, jakožto i výběr kvalitních materiálů.

eBook: A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) is a work of crucial importance in intellectual history. Considered by most as Western feminism’s central heroine, Wollstonecraft argues that women must be educated to develop their reason in order to throw off the frivolous, debilitating role of man’s plaything. Rather than cultivating power from sexual allure, women should be honest, intelligent, and independent. Her concern about how women’s innate worth is denigrated by improper definitions of the feminine in novels, in advice literature, and in educational systems has inspired women for over two centuries to contemplate the connections between power and femininity. About the Author:As a young woman Mary Wollstonecraft worked in most of the few acceptable occupations for genteel women: lady’s companion, governess, seamstress, and schoolteacher. Unsatisfied by these conventional positions, Wollstonecraft carved out a career as a female polemicist, publishing in a wide range of genres: articles, reviews, novels, children’s stories, educational tracts, histories, travel writing, and textbooks.

The Great Big Book of Families introduces children to the fact that not all families look the same. Featuring funny artwork and wonderfully accessible text this book celebrates each family in its own unique and wonderful way. What is a family? Once, it was said to be a father, mother, boy, girl, cat and dog living in a house with a garden. But as times have changed, families have changed too, and now there are almost as many kinds of families as colours of the rainbow. From a mum and dad or single parent to two mums or two dads, from a mixed-race family to children with different mums and dads, to families with a disabled member. This is a fresh, optimistic look through children's eyes at today's wide variety of family life: from homes, food, ways of celebrating, schools and holidays to getting around, jobs and housework, from extended families, languages and hobbies to pets and family trees.The Great Big Book of Families is a brilliant introduction for children to all family types great and small.

V JHS jsou fuzz pedály v nabídce již více než deset let. Navrhli originální obvody, replikovali klasiku a viděli, že trend popularity fuzzů přichází a odchází. Série "Legends Of Fuzz" je poctou nejdůležitějším fuzz obvodem, jaké byly kdy vyrobeny. Od prvních fuzzů v Londýnské scéně v polovině 60. let až po bývalé sovětské fuzzy 90. let, které přivedly Big Muff zpět k životu, fuzz vypráví příběh a tento příběh ovlivňuje kytaristy, jako jste vy.Společnost Kay Musical Instruments založil Henry „Kay“ Kuhrmeyer 1. července 1931. Přestože Henry rychle přesunul výrobní zaměření na všechny typy smyčcových nástrojů (včetně baskytar, viol a kytar), na trh s kytarovými pedály vstoupily až později v 60. létech minulého století se sérií nádherně zvláštních plastových pedálů bez knoflíků. Každá ze čtyř jednotek (Fuzz Tone F1, Tremol T1, Wah Wah W1 a Bass Boost B1) byla umístěna v krytech bez knoflíků, které umožňovaly nastavení jednoho parametru každého efektu nohou. Kay Fuzz Tone byl s největší pravděpodobností vydán koncem roku 1968/začátkem roku 1969. Původně navržen jako levná verze Shin-ei/Univox Superfuzz, tento fuzz je jedním z nejpopulárnějších Edge pedálů. O 54 let později vydává svoji verzi JHS Kay Fuzz Tone: Mary-K. Dokonce přidali knoflíky a výstup expression pedálu pro ty, kteří ho chtějí používat tak, jak to bylo původně zamýšleno.Namísto použití pedálového šasi umožňují uživatelům Mary-K možnost ovládat knoflík Frequency pomocí expression pedálu. Doporučují Expression pedály Nektar NX-P a Roland EV-5, ale fungovat by mělo také mnoho dalších expression pedálů. Upozorňujeme, že některé Expression pedály mohou do signálového řetězce v prostředích s vysokým elektromagnetickým rušením vnášet bzučení/šum. Proto JHS doporučují používat plastové expression pedály s krátkými kabely, aby se předešlo nežádoucímu šumu v prostředí s vysokým EMI.

eBook: A feminist reflection on female conduct, \'Thoughts on the Education of Daughters\' offers advice on moral and intellect for young women and girls. First published by the British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft in 1787, the self-help title invites readers today to peek behind the curtain at respectable – and what was considered then to be progressive – female behaviour. From child-rearing instructions to analytical thinking, Wollstonecraft adapted old genres to appeal to a new middle-class ethos, arguing that social and political life would greatly improve if women acquired valuable skills. Considered today the founding thoughts for Wollstonecraft\'s later work \'A Vindication of the Rights of Women,\' \'Thoughts\' is a must-read for fans of Helena Bonham Carter and Carey Mulligan in Netflix\'s acclaimed \'Suffragette\' film.

eBook: On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles’ life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles’ birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap.

DVD film Emperor [2012]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Matthew Fox, Tommy Lee Jones. Zaplatí Japonský císař za Pearl Harbor? Jen několik dní poté, co americké atomové nálože urychlily japonskou kapitulaci, pověřil pětihvězdičkový generál MacArthur svého pobočníka Fellerse, aby shromáždil důkazy, které by odpověděly na otázku, zda má být japonský císař Hirohito souzen jako válečný zločinec. Generál Fellers v zemi zpustošené válkou současně pátrá po své ztracené lásce, krásné japonské dívce Aje, kterou v Americe před válkou poznal během svých vysokoškolských studií. Vzpomínky na Aju mu pomáhají nalézt v sobě samém moudrost i lidskost a umožní mu učinit rozhodnutí, které poznamená nejen další chod dějin, ale především budoucnost dvou dosud znepřátelených národů. Ve snímku v hlavní rolích se představí Oscarový Tommy Lee Jones a hvězda TV seriálu "Ztraceni" Matthew Fox.
