Eudaimon - Anthony Harding, Věra Klontza-Jaklová, Peter Pavúk

Svazek Eudaimón předkládá široké odborné čtenářské obci soubor příspěvků z mezinárodní konference Contacts, Migrations and Climate Change uspořádané v květnu 2015 u příležitosti životního jubilea prof. Jana Bouzka. Celkem 30 cizojazyčných příspěvků převážně zahraničních autorů bylo seřazeno na základě jejich chronologického a geografického zaměření. Sborník otvírají příspěvky diskutující témata rané doby bronzové v Egeidě a uzavírají jej texty s těžištěm v době římské na Balkáně a v Černomoří. Jubilantovy bohaté archeologické aktivity jsou také nerozlučně spojeny s lokalitou emporia Pistiros v jihozápadním Bulharsku. Tato tematika je tedy ve sborníku zastoupena velmi významně. Kniha představuje reprezentativní průřez současnou klasickou archeologií s přesahem do oblastí prehistorické a protohistorické Evropy. Publikace je vydána v anglickém jazyce.

Věčná vzpoura v srdci konzervativce - Alexander Tomský, Lenka Jaklová

Jak se vyrovnat s životem, když se narodíte na prahu komunistického puče osmačtyřicátého roku a následujícího hororu totalitních padesátých let? Jak si vytvořit vztah k domovu, máte-li matku cizinku a otce, jenž se cítí jako Rakušan staré monarchie a svým židovským i buržoazním původem nese stigma třídního nepřítele? A proč je filosofování u rodinného stolu o dobru a zlu i objev smrtící síly” poezie v době politického tání šedesátých let dobrou výbavou pro zápas s inženýry lidských duší”? V rozhovoru s publicistkou Lenkou Jaklovou nakladatel, politolog a vášnivý kazatel Alexander Tomský hledá kontinuitu svého životního příběhu mezi dětstvím a dospíváním v rodném kraji, politickým exilem v Anglii a kulturní aktivitou za společenskou a politickou obrodu české společnosti po listopadu 1989. A jako bytostný konzervativec, poučený anglickým pragmatismem a vyznávající svobodu i tradici evropské civilizace, hlásá nepříjemné pravdy a burcuje na záchranu našeho světa. Ve vzpomínkách na exilový zápas s komunistickým režimem a na četné kolegy a spolupracovníky (Pavel Tigrid, Rio Preisner, Vilém Prečan, Anastáz Opasek, básník Jiří Gruša či anglický filosof Roger Scruton) se Tomský vrací do období studené války, kdy v Londýně založil nakladatelství Rozmluvy - a organizoval pašování jeho knih - a také stejnojmennou literární revui, v níž se nacházelo to nejlepší z českého i západního konzervativního myšlení. Během více než třiceti let, která uplynula od pádu železné opony”, svou neúprosnou publicistikou zdůrazňuje Alexander Tomský základní smysl individuálního i pospolitého života, konzervatismus zdravého rozumu, jejž opět ohrožují budovatelé staronové utopie společenské a sociální spravedlnosti. Platí ovšem, že žádnou společnost nelze zlepšovat bez vzájemné oddanosti národního společenství a bez morální výchovy k odpovědnosti jednotlivce. Teprve když pochopíme život jako dar, svět jako zázrak, ráno jako počátek dobrodružné cesty, druhého člověka jako radostné setkání a příležitost, stávají se obyčejné věci neobyčejnými.

Sochařům se netleská - Vladimír Preclík, Lenka Jaklová

Sochař, malíř a spisovatel Vladimír Preclík během rozhovoru s publicistkou Lenkou Jaklovou poutavě a vtipně vzpomíná na své nejrůznější tvůrčí a životní okamžiky, od královéhradeckého dětství, přes studia a zahraniční cesty, pořádání mnohaletého Mezinárodního sochařského sympozia v Hořicích, angažování se na poli kultury i politiky, až po své dnešní pedagogické působení a nejnovější sochařské realizace. Životní moudrost a zkušenost umělce, pro kterého je tvorba celoživotní náplní, povoláním a zároveň koníčkem, doprovázejí a výtvarně dokreslují jeho ilustrace: čtenář se tak stává blízkým účastníkem úsměvných i dramatických chvil v pestrém a citově bohatém životě jednoho z našich nejpřednějších sochařů.Ilustrace Vladimír Preclík.

A Very Expensive Poison - Luke Harding

1st November 2006: Alexander Litvinenko is brazenly poisoned in central London. Twenty-two days later he dies, killed from the inside by Polonium - a rare, lethal and highly radioactive substance. His crime? He had made some powerful enemies in Russia. This is the inside story of the life and death of Litvinenko and of Russiaâ ™s new cold war with the west. Harding traces the journey of the nuclear poison across London, from hotel room to nightclub, assassin to victim. Itâ ™s a deadly trail that leads back to Vladimir Putin, and to a regime exposed by the Panama Papers. Luke Harding s investigation into the death of Alexander Litvinenko, A Very Expensive Poison, may also help us shed light on the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury.

Invaze - Luke Harding

24. únor 2022, den, který změnil Evropu i celý svět. V dramatickém, přesvědčivém a dechberoucím vyprávění o zlomovém okamžiku naší doby podává světoznámý reportér Guardianu a autor několika bestsellerů Luke Harding zprávu o ruské invazi na Ukrajinu z první ruky. Když Putin zahájil brutální útok proti nezávislé zemi, Harding byl přímo na místě, v Kyjevě. Nesmyslné násilí ovšem narazilo na ohromující vzdor - mimo jiné od bojujícího prezidenta Volodymyra Zelenského - a neskutečnou odvahu lidí, kteří byli a jsou připraveni riskovat vše, aby si zachovali svobodu pro sebe i svůj národ. Kniha přináší pronikavý popis historie, kterou stále žijeme. Zaznamenává hlavní události, místa i postavy největšího konfliktu v Evropě od druhé světové války. Sledujeme zvěrstva v Buči, zoufalý vzdor Mariupolu i děsivou ruskou hru v Černobylu. Máme možnost nahlédnout do zákulisí rozhodování Západu i do myšlenkových pochodů diktátora z Kremlu. Harding zachycuje klíčový okamžik dějin s otevřeností, nadhledem a neochvějným zaměřením na lidské příběhy vržené do víru monumentálního boje. Autorem je britský novinář (*1968), spisovatel a oceněný zahraniční zpravodaj deníku The Guardian. V letech 2007 až 2011 vedl jeho moskevskou pobočku. Kreml ho vypověděl ze země jako prvního novináře od konce studené války a v létě 2022 ho zařadil na oficiální černou listinu.

A Short History of Japan - Christopher Harding

A history that somehow manages to be at once succinct and sweeping: essential reading for anyone interested in this most fascinating of countries - Tom Holland The perfect introduction to [Japan s] intriguing society is Christopher Harding⠙s lively new A Short History of Japan... The book is short, yes ⠓ but its scope is long, deep and rich - Rana Mitter, History Extra, History Books of the Year 2025 In this enormously enjoyable introduction to a remarkable country, Christopher Harding traces Japan s rich history over several millennia. Beginning with its earliest coastal communities through to the spread of Buddhism, the rise of the warlords, the promise and menace of the West and Japan s own empire-building, Harding explores how a distinctly Japanese society and culture was forged. Drawing on the latest scholarship, A Short History of Japan moves beyond traditional tourist-board clichés to consider Japan s own view of its past, values and culture, from ceramics and theatre to food and architecture. The result is a sensory, tactile history conveying to the reader much about Japan⠙s special nature.

Liečivá sila potravín - Anthony William

Medicínske médium ANTHONY WILLIAM pomohol desaťtisícom ľudí dostať sa zo zdravotných problémov, ktoré im lekári nesprávne diagnostikovali, nevhodne liečili alebo ich vyliečiť vôbec nevedeli. Darí sa mu to vďaka božskému hlasu, ktorý mu doslova šepká do ucha a prezrádza korene ľudských trápení či chorôb, ako aj prostriedky na ich liečbu. Vo svojej prvej knihe, v bestselleri New York Times Medicínske médium, Anthony prezradil, ako zostaviť špecifické liečebné plány na desiatky chorôb, pri ktorých výživa zohráva hlavnú úlohu. Jeho ďalšia kniha Medicínske médium: liečivá sila potravín sa bližšie zaoberá liečivými účinkami viac než päťdesiatich druhov ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divorastúcich plodov, ktorých konzumácia má jedinečný vplyv na zdravie človeka. Anthony vysvetľuje vlastnosti každej potraviny, symptómy a ochorenia, pri ktorých môže pomôcť alebo ich úplne vyliečiť, ako aj emočnú a duchovnú podporu každej z nich. Knihu dopĺňa lahodnými receptami, vďaka ktorým si maximálne vychutnáte blahodarné účinky každej potraviny. Sú to napríklad sladké zemiaky plnené dusenou kapustou alebo medovo-kokosová zmrzlina. V TEJTO KNIHE ZISTÍTE prečo sú lesné čučoriedky „potravinou vzkriesenia“, špargľa studňou mladosti a prečo nám citróny po zlých správach zdvihnú náladu, ktoré potraviny najúčinnejšie uľavia pri žlčníkových kameňoch, vysokom krvnom tlaku, mozgovej otupenosti, problémoch so štítnou žľazou, migréne a stovkách iných symptómov a ochorení, akú špecifickú liečivú moc má kivi, uhorka, mačací pazúr, kokos a veľa ďalších potravín, pravdu o maškrtných chutiach, ako využiť stres vo svoj prospech a aká je kľúčová úloha ovocia pri plodnosti. Informácie, ktoré nám Anthony prináša, sa často dramaticky líšia od tradičných poznatkov medicíny, a tak nečakajte len dookola opakované staré známe fakty. Naopak, pripravte sa na celkom nové poznatky napríklad o tom, že v pomarančoch je oveľa viac než len vitamín C. Pochopíte silu prostriedkov, vďaka ktorým sa vyliečite z chorôb a udržíte seba a svojich blízkych v bezpečí. Medicínske médium Anthony William radí, ako zmeniť svoj život pomocou skrytej liečivej sily ovocia a zeleniny. Okrem iného sa v knihe dočítate: podstatných špecifických faktoroch, ktoré majú na svedomí rastúci počet ochorení, ako aj o tom, ako pred nimi chrániť seba a svojich blízkych, potravinách, ktoré dokážu opraviť DNA, posilniť imunitný systém, zlepšiť duševné zdravie, alkalizovať všetky telesné sústavy či ochraňovať pred negatívnymi emóciami ostatných, technikách, ktoré z ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divo rastúcich plodov spravia liečivé potraviny ako stvorené pre individuálne potreby každého z nás. Dozviete sa tiež o konkrétnych potravinách, po ktorých sa oplatí siahnuť pri stovkách ochorení a príznakov, ako sú napríklad: úzkosť auto imunitné ochorenia rakovina cukrovka tráviace problémy únava potravinové alergie neplodnosť zápaly nespavosť lymská borelióza strata pamäti migréna ochorenie štítnej žľazy priberanie na hmotnosti

The Light of Asia - Christopher Harding

A rich historyâ ¦ Harding writes with energy and insight, wearing a tremendous amount of learning lightly - Rana Mitter, Financial Times This rich and enjoyable book by the acclaimed author of Japan Story explores the many ways in which Asia has influenced Europe and North America over centuries of tangled, dynamic encountersFrom the time of the ancient Greeks onwards the West s relationship with Asia consisted for the most part of outrageous tales of strange beasts and monsters, of silk and spices shipped over vast distances and an uneasy sense of unknowable empires fantastically far away. By the twentieth century much of Asia might have come under Western rule after centuries of warfare, but its intellectual, artistic and spiritual influence was fighting back.The Light of Asia is a wonderfully varied and entertaining history of the many ways in which Asia has shaped European and North American culture over centuries of tangled, dynamic encounters, and the central importance of this vexed, often confused relationship. From Marco Polo onwards Asia has been both a source of genuine fascination and equally genuine failures of comprehension. China, India and Japan were all acknowledged to be both great civilizations and in crude ways seen as superseded by the West. From Chicago to Calcutta, and from antiquity to the new millennium, this is a rich, involving story of misunderstandings and sincere connection, of inspiration and falsehood, of geniuses, adventurers and con-men.Christopher Harding s captivating gallery of people and places celebrates Asia s impact on the West in all its variety.

Spring, at all its stages, has an energy that engages us with the outside world. Seasonal change has always been a great inspiration for my artwork. I love the changing light that brings new colours and smells. The seasons are nature s clock, bringing birds from distant shores to nest and breed in our gardens. So it is hard to say exactly when one season stops and the other begins; the changes are not necessarily gradual but come in fits and starts. Seasons have no regard for the official times written down in a calendar. Spring, more than any other of the seasons, is like this. Spring Unfurled is the first book in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. Each title in this pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela s observations as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the course of a year. Taking in landscapes across the UK including views from her home studio in Rutland, to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.Featuring over thirty of Angela Harding s favourite prints alongside observations taken from her books A Year Unfolding, Wild Light and Still Waters Wild Waves, each short, small book in this seasonal collection is a beautiful new way to enjoy Angela s work and celebrate nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year.

Gaia Alchemy - Stephan Harding

A bold exploration of the reintegration of rationality and intuition, science and soul, to foster individual and planetary healing During the scientific revolution, science and soul were drastically separated, propelling humanity into four centuries of scientific exploration based solely on empiricism and rationality. But, as scientist and ecologist Stephan Harding, Ph.D., demonstrates in detail, by reintegrating science with profound personal experiences of psyche and soul, we can reclaim our lost sacred wholeness and help heal ourselves and our planet. The book begins with compelling introductions to depth psychology, alchemy, and Gaia theory--the science of seeing the Earth as an intelligent, self-regulating system, a theory pioneered by the author’s mentor James Lovelock. Harding then explores how alchemy, as understood through the depth psychology of C. G. Jung, offers us powerful methods of reuniting rationality and intuition, science and soul. He examines the integration of important alchemical engravings, including those from L’Azoth des Philosophes and the Rosarium Philosophorum, with Gaian science. He shows how the seven key alchemical operations in the Azoth image can help us develop deeply transformative experiences and insights into our interconnectedness with Gaia. He then looks at how the four components of the living Earth--biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere--mesh not only with the four elements of alchemical theory but also with the four functions of consciousness from depth psychology. Woven throughout with the author’s own experiences of Gaia alchemy, the book also offers guided meditations and contemplative exercises to open your receptivity to messages from the biosphere and help you develop your own Gaian alchemical way of life, full of wonder and healing.
