Failed State - Sam Freedman

***The top 5 Sunday Times bestseller***'Excellent... persuasive... convincing' – THE TIMES'Funny, whipsmart and devastating. Sanity on steroids' – EMILY MAITLIS'Fantastic. An exquisite analysis' – THE SECRET BARRISTERWhy does nothing work in Britain?It’s harder than ever to get a GP appointment. Burglaries go unpunished. Rivers are overrun with sewage. Real wages have been stagnant for years, even as the cost of housing rises inexorably. Why is everything going wrong at the same time?It's easy to blame dysfunctional politicians who are out for themselves. But, in reality, it’s more complicated. Politicians can make things better or worse, but all work within our state institutions. And ours are utterly broken.In Failed State, Sam Freedman, one of Britain's leading policy experts, offers a devastating analysis of where we’ve gone wrong. With historical depth and plenty of infuriating examples, he explains why British governance has fallen so far behind. Speaking to politicians of all stripes, civil servants and workers on the frontline, this book bursts with insight on the real problems that are so often hidden from the front pages. The result is a witty, landmark book that paves the way for a fairer and more prosperous Britain.'We can only hope that every member of the new government will read and digest this book' – DAVID AARONOVITCH'Brilliantly timed and frighteningly true' – SIR ANTHONY SELDON

Czechoslovakia : State That Failed - Mary Heimann

This book, the most thoroughly researched and accurate history of Czechoslovakia to appear in English, tells the story of the country from its founding in 1918 to partition in 1992 - from fledgling democracy through Nazi occupation, Communist rule, invasion by the Soviet Union to - at last - democracy again. The common Western view of Czechoslovakia has been that of a small nation which was sacrificed at Munich in 1938, betrayed to the Soviets in 1948 and which rebelled heroically against the repression of the Soviet Union during the Prague Spring of 1968. Mary Heimann dispels these myths and shows how intolerant nationalism and an unhelpful sense of victimhood led Czech and Slovak authorities to discriminate against minorities, compete with the Nazis to persecute Jews and Gypsies and pave the way for the Communist police state. She also reveals Alexander Dubcek, held to be a national hero and standard-bearer for democracy, as an unprincipled apparatchik. Well written, revisionist and accessible, this groundbreaking book should become the standard history of Czechoslovakia for years to come.

Miestami oblačno - Deborah Freedman

Dvaja zvedaví zajačikovia si užívajú pozorovanie oblakov. No keď sa pozrú na oblohu, každý z nich vidí niečo úplne iné. Jeden zajačik má bohatú fantáziu a na oblohe vidí cukrovú vatu alebo šľahačku, ten druhý vníma oblaky z pohľadu vedy a faktov. Spolu zisťujú, že pozorovanie oblakov je väčšia zábava, keď sa na ne pozerajú očami toho druhého.

Why Food Matters - Paul Freedman

From the author of Ten Restaurants That Changed America, an exploration of food’s cultural importance and its crucial role throughout human history. “A rich and fascinating narrative that reaches deep into the historical and cultural larder of societal experience, powerfully illustrating the myriad ways that food matters as an essential condiment for humanity.”―Danny Meyer, founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack. Why does food matter? Historically, food has not always been considered a serious subject on par with, for instance, a performance art like opera or a humanities discipline like philosophy. Necessity, ubiquity, and repetition contribute to the apparent banality of food, but these attributes don’t capture food’s emotional and cultural range, from the quotidian to the exquisite. In this short, passionate book, Paul Freedman makes the case for food’s vital importance, stressing its crucial role in the evolution of human identity and human civilizations. Freedman presents a highly readable and illuminating account of food’s unique role in our lives, a way of expressing community and celebration, but also divisive with regard to race, cultural difference, gender, and geography. This wide-ranging book is a must-read for food lovers and all those interested in how cultures and identities are formed and maintained.

Sex and the Failed Absolute - Slavoj Žižek

In the most rigorous articulation of his philosophical system to date, Slavoj Zizek provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism.In forging this new materialism, Zizek critiques and challenges not only the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux, and Julia Kristeva (to name but a few), but everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy. Alongside striking images of the Moebius strip, the cross-cap, and the Klein bottle, Zizek brings alive the Hegelian triad of being-essence-notion. Radical new readings of Hegel, and Kant, sit side by side with characteristically lively commentaries on film, politics, and culture.Here is Zizek at his interrogative best.

Narativní psychoterapie - Jill Freedman, Gene Combs

Kniha představuje základní informace o narativním přístupu v psychoterapii. Ten je založen na teorii sociálního konstrukcionismu a chápe výpovědi klientů v terapii jako příběhy, které konstituují lidskou zkušenost. Autoři zprvu popisují své filozofické zázemí, poté přinášejí vlastní příběh toho, jak se dostali k narativní perspektivě. Věnují se podrobně narativním metodám – zejména dekonstrukci a rozvíjení klientova příběhu tak, aby to u něj rozvíjelo pocit, že může ovlivnit, jak prožívá a vnímá vlastní život. Cílem je vytvořit alternativní pohledy na vlastní příběh a možnost si mezi nimi volit, jak bude člověk chápat sám sebe. Tyto vybrané příběhy může klient v životě upevňovat pomocí různých dokumentů, oslav a rozhovorů, a tím měnit, jak samy sebe chápou celé rodiny a komunity. Metodologické úvahy jsou ilustrovány příklady z praxe – přepisy částí konzultací a podrobnými kazuistikami. Závěr knihy se zabývá otázkami etiky v rámci narativní psychoterapie.Jill Freedman a Gene Combs společně vedou Evanstonské centrum rodinné terapie. Jill provozuje terapeutickou praxi v oblasti Chicaga a poskytuje konzultace organizacím a školám. Gene nedávno odešel do důchodu z pozice docenta na Chicagské univerzitě. Oba přednášejí po celém světě a vedou psychoterapeutické výcviky.

Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius - Harry Freedman

Harry Freedman uncovers the spiritual traditions that lie behind Leonard Cohen's profound and unmistakable lyrics. The singer and poet Leonard Cohen was deeply learned in Judaism and Christianity, the spiritual traditions that underpinned his self-identity and the way he made sense of the world.In this book Harry Freedman, a leading author of cultural and religious history, explores the mystical and spiritual sources Cohen drew upon, discusses their original context and the stories and ideas behind them. Cohen's music is studded with allusions to Jewish and Christian tradition, to stories and ideas drawn from the Bible, Talmud and Kabbalah. From his 1967 classic Suzanne, through masterpieces like Hallelujah and Who by Fire, to his final challenge to the divinity, You Want It Darker he drew on spirituality for inspiration and as a tool to create understanding, clarity and beauty.Born into a prominent and scholarly Jewish family in Montreal, Canada, Cohen originally aspired to become a poet, before turning to song writing and eventually recording his own compositions. Later, he became immersed in Zen Buddhism, moving in 1990 to a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy, California where he remained for some years. He died, with immaculate timing, on the day before Donald Trump was elected in 2016, leaving behind him a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.Leonard Cohen: The Mystical Roots of Genius looks deeply into the imagination of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time, providing a window on the landscape of his soul. Departing from traditional biographical approaches, Freedman explores song by song how Cohen reworked myths and prayers, legends and allegories with an index of songs at the end of the book for readers to search by their favourites. By the end the reader will be left with a powerful understanding of Cohen's story, together with a far broader insight into the mystical origins of his inimitable work.

Mother State - Helen Charmanová

Motherhood is a political state. Helen Charman makes a radical case for what liberated mothering could be, and tells the story of what motherhood has been, from the 1970s to the 2010s.When we talk about motherhood and politics together, we usually talk about isolated moments - the policing of breastfeeding, or the cost of childcare. But this is not enough: we need to understand motherhood itself as an inherently political state, one that has the potential to pose a serious challenge to the status quo. In Mother State, Helen Charman uses this provocative insight to write a new history of Britain and Northern Ireland.Beginning with Women's Liberation and ending with austerity, the book follows mothers' fights for an alternative future. Alongside the mother figures that loom large in British culture, from Margaret Thatcher to Kat Slater, we meet communities of lesbian squatters, anti-nuclear campaigners, the wives of striking miners and teenage mothers protesting housing cuts: groups who believed that if you want to nourish your children, you have to nourish the world around them, too. Here we see a world where motherhood is not a restrictive identity but a state of possibility.'Mother' ceases to be an individual responsibility, and becomes an expansive collective term to organise under, for people of any gender, with or without children of their own. It begins with an understanding: that to mother is a political act.
