Let's Make Things Better - Gidon Lev, Julie Gray

“To me, hard times are like hide-and-seek: where is the solution, where is the hope? We can never give up looking for these things because they are just waiting to be found.” Gidon Lev, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor, has lived an extraordinary life. At the age of six, he was imprisoned in the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. Liberated when he was ten, he lost at least 26 members of his family, including his father and grandfather.But Gidon’s life is extraordinary not only because he is one of the few living survivors remaining but because of his lessons learned over nearly a century. His enduring message is of hope and opportunity – to make things better. By sharing his timeless simple belief and truths, Gidon reminds us that we have the power to incrementally improve what is in front of us and leave something better behind us.His life is a lesson of how to do it, even in the face of astonishing adversity, and Let’s Make Things Better is the calling card of an indomitable spirit.''By sharing his inspiring life story, Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev reminds us that the human spirit is larger than even the most severe and unjust trauma. Through one of history’s darkest nights, he preserved his brightness and warmth'' – David Von Drehl, author of the New York Times bestseller The Book of Charlie

Byzantine and Renaissance Philosophy - Adamson Peter

Peter Adamson explores the rich intellectual history of the Byzantine Empire and the Italian Renaissance.Peter Adamson presents an engaging and wide-ranging introduction to the thinkers and movements of two great intellectual cultures: Byzantium and the Italian Renaissance. First he traces the development of philosophy in the Eastern Christian world, from such early figures as John of Damascus in the eighth century to the late Byzantine scholars of the fifteenth century. He introduces major figures like Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, and Gregory Palamas, and examines the philosophical significance of such cultural phenomena as iconoclasm and conceptions of gender. We discover the little-known traditions of philosophy in Syriac, Armenian, and Georgian. These chapters also explore the scientific, political, and historical literature of Byzantium. There is a close connection to the second half of the book, since thinkers of the Greek East helped to spark the humanist movement in Italy. Adamson tells the story of the rebirth of philosophy in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. We encounter such famous names as Christine de Pizan, Niccolò Machiavelli, Giordano Bruno, and Galileo, but as always in this book series such major figures are read alongside contemporaries who are not so well known, including such fascinating figures as Lorenzo Valla, Girolamo Savonarola, and Bernardino Telesio. Major historical themes include the humanist engagement with ancient literature, the emergence of women humanists, the flowering of Republican government in Renaissance Italy, the continuation of Aristotelian and scholastic philosophy alongside humanism, and breakthroughs in science. All areas of philosophy, from theories of economics and aesthetics to accounts of the human mind, are featured. This is the sixth volume of Adamson''s History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, taking us to the threshold of the early modern era.

Medieval Philosophy - Adamson Peter

Peter Adamson presents a lively introduction to six hundred years of European philosophy, from the beginning of the ninth century to the end of the fourteenth century. The medieval period is one of the richest in the history of philosophy, yet one of the least widely known. Adamson introduces us to some of the greatest thinkers of the Western intellectual tradition, including Peter Abelard, Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, and Roger Bacon. And the medieval period was notable for the emergence of great women thinkers, including Hildegard of Bingen, Marguerite Porete, and Julian of Norwich. Original ideas and arguments were developed in every branch of philosophy during this period - not just philosophy of religion and theology, but metaphysics, philosophy of logic and language, moral and political theory, psychology, and the foundations of mathematics and natural science.

Africana Philosophy from Ancient Egypt to the Nineteenth Century - Adamson Peter, Chike Jeffers

In this latest instalment of the series A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, Peter Adamson and Chike Jeffers delve into the fascinating world of Africana Philosophy. Africana Philosophy from Ancient Egypt to the Nineteenth Century is the first of two volumes in the History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps series to bring readers the story of Africana philosophy. This diverse topic is defined as philosophy emerging from and distinctively related to Africa or the African diaspora. The story starts at the very beginning by asking what it would mean to engage philosophically with evidence left by prehistoric peoples of Africa, and proceeds to discuss the philosophical traditions of ancient Egypt, late ancient and early modern Ethopia, and Islamic philosophy in West Africa. A number of chapters then explore the idea of philosophy in African oral traditions, considering the methodological debates that have raged between African philosophers like John Mbiti, Paulin Hountondji, and Henry Odera Oruka. Peter Adamson and Chike Jeffers also consider philosophical responses to the situation brought about by the transatlantic slave trade and the early colonization of Africa. Starting from early figures like Anton Wilhelm Amo and Phillis Wheatley, and the ideas that drove the Haitian Revolution, extensive discussion is then given to Africana philosophy of the nineteenth century. The incendiary ideas of David Walker, the nuanced rhetoric of Frederick Douglass, and the clashing approaches of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois are among the highlights here. Significant attention is given to female thinkers like Maria W. Stewart, Sojourner Truth, Anna Julia Cooper, and Ida B. Wells. The coverage is also geographically diverse, with chapters on figures who worked not only in Africa and the United States, but also Brazil, Canada, Britain, France, and the Caribbean.

Classical Philosophy - Adamson Peter

Classical Philosophy is the first of a series of books in which Peter Adamson aims ultimately to present a complete history of philosophy, more thoroughly but also more enjoyably than ever before. In short, lively chapters, based on the popular History of Philosophy podcast, he offers an accessible, humorous, and detailed look at the emergence of philosophy with the Presocratics, the probing questions of Socrates, and the first full flowering of philosophy with the dialogues of Plato and the treatises of Aristotle. The story is told ''without any gaps'', discussing not only such major figures but also less commonly discussed topics like the Hippocratic Corpus, the Platonic Academy, and the role of women in ancient philosophy. Within the thought of Plato and Aristotle, the reader will find in-depth introductions to major works, such as the Republic and the Nicomachean Ethics, which are treated in detail that is unusual in an introduction to ancient philosophy. Adamson looks at fascinating but less frequently read Platonic dialogues like the Charmides and Cratylus, and Aristotle''s ideas in zoology and poetics. This full coverage allows him to tackle ancient discussions in all areas of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, ethics and politics. Attention is also given to the historical and literary context of classical philosophy, with exploration of how early Greek cosmology responded to the poets Homer and Hesiod, how Socrates was presented by the comic playwright Aristophanes and the historian Xenophon, and how events in Greek history may have influenced Plato''s thought. This is a new kind of history which will bring philosophy to life for all readers, including those coming to the subject for the first time.

Glenn Ligon: Distinguishing Piss from Rain - Glenn Ligon

A collection of by turns polemical and personal writings and interviews from conceptual artist and commentator Glenn Ligon in an accessible paperback volume. This long-awaited and essential publication collects three decades of writings and interviews by Glenn Ligon, whose work has been delivering an incisive examination of race, history, sexuality, and culture in America since his emergence as an artist in the late 1980s. No stranger to text, Ligon has routinely used writings from James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Gertrude Stein, Richard Pryor, and others to construct work that centers Blackness within the historically white backdrop of the artworld and culture writ large. He began writing in the early 2000s, engaging deeply with the work of peers such as Julie Mehretu, Chris Ofili, and Lorna Simpson, as well as artists that came before him, among them Philip Guston, David Hammons, and Andy Warhol. Throughout the publication’s sixteen essays, Ligon combines razor-sharp insight with anecdotal and biographical details, providing the fullest picture yet of the artist and his ongoing evaluation of the art and politics of our time. Complementing these texts are illuminating interviews with Helga Davis, Thelma Golden, Byron Kim, Hamza Walker, and others, as well as a foreword by Thomas (T.) Jean Lax and an afterword by the artist.

Joe Biden a vzestup fašismu 21. století - Velký reset - Glenn Beck

V knize Velký reset: Glenn Beck, autor bestsellerů New York Times a celostátní rozhlasový moderátor, tvrdí, že americký způsob života nepřežije Velký reset, a varuje nás, abychom ho zastavili, než bude pozdě na změnu kurzu. Mezinárodní spiknutí mocných bankéřů, podnikatelů a vládních úředníků, jednání za zavřenými dveřmi ve švýcarských Alpách a výzvy k radikální proměně každé společnosti na světě - Velký reset zní, jako by byl jeden stoupenec s páskou přes oko dějištěm dalšího filmu o Jamesi Bondovi. Ale Velký reset není fikce. Jedná se o velmi vlivné hnutí světové elity, jehož cílem je "resetovat" globální ekonomiku pomocí bank, vládních programů a environmentálních, sociálních a správních měřítek. Pokud budou úspěšní a Velký reset bude dokončen, dostane se do rukou velkých korporací, mezinárodních institucí, bank a vládních úředníků, včetně Joea Bidena, OSN a mnoha členů Světového ekonomického fóra, podstatně více ekonomické a sociální moci. V knize Velký reset: V knize Joe Biden a vzestup fašismu jednadvacátého století Glenn Beck používá svou typickou směs humoru, vyprávění a podrobné analýzy, aby poprvé odhalil neuvěřitelnou pravdu o Velkém resetu a propojil téměř dvě desetiletí průkopnického výzkumu autoritářských hnutí a jejich snah o zásadní proměnu Spojených států. Plán, jak zastavit Velký reset, začíná úplným pochopením toho, proti čemu svobodní lidé na světě stojí, a žádný zdroj neposkytuje o tomto radikálním hnutí více informací než kniha Glenna Becka Velký reset: Joe Biden a vzestup fašismu jednadvacátého století.

Things Needed to Get Better - Jürgen Habermas

In this book Jürgen Habermas offers a wide-ranging reflection on his life and work and on the factors that shaped the development of his thought. He discusses the motives behind his work, the circumstances under which it emerged and the changes it has undergone over the course of his long and productive career. He speaks about the events and the texts that played a decisive role in his thinking and he recounts key encounters with colleagues. The image that emerges is that of a richly intertwined network of relationships which covers large swathes of the intellectual map of the twentieth century and reaches through to the present day. Looking back at the development of his thought, Habermas discusses the specific historical circumstances that shaped his generation, identifies key experiences with his intellectual mentors, explores recent historical tendencies and political beliefs and talks about his own scholarly works and their reception. Time and again we see the normative impulse that lies behind so much of Habermas’s work: ‘I view the attempt to make the world even the tiniest bit better, or even just to be part of the effort to stave off the constant threats of regression that we face, as an utterly admirable motive.’ This autobiographical self-reflection by one of the greatest philosophers of our time will be of interest to a wide readership.

Thor - Vikingové - Garth Ennis, Glenn Fabry

Někdy i bůh hromu narazí na protivníky, na které prostě nestačí. Třeba na nemrtvé vikingy, kteří po tisíci letech putování přistáli na Manhattanu a začali s drancováním. Aby měl šanci, musí dát dohromady tým krví spojených bojovníků z různých historických epoch. Stačí ale vikingská bojovnice, fanatický křižák a nacistický pilot k zastavení nemrtvé hrozby? I když vychází komiks právě ve chvíli, kdy se chystá do kin filmový Thor, tak Vikingové nejsou adaptace filmu. Tenhle Thor vyšel v rámci dospělejší řady MAX (ze které momentálně vychází kupříkladu Punisher), napsal ho jeden z nejosobitějších komiksových tvůrců Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) a brilantní kresbou příběh doplnil slavný Glenn Fabry (obálky k Preacherovi, Nikdykde).

Válka na Ukrajině a eurasijský světový řád - Diesen Glenn

Norský profesor Glenn Diesen předkládá svojí knihou Válka na Ukrajině a eurasijský světový řád fakticky podložený pohled na válku na Ukrajině, který je v příkrém rozporu se vším, co dnes o této válce tvrdí většina západních politiků, úředníků, vojáků, aktivistů a jim poplatných médií. Válka nevypukla nevyprovokovanou ruskou agresí vycházející z Putinovy touhy obnovit Sovětský svaz a vládu nad střední Evropou. Diesen přesvědčivě dokládá, že válku vyprovokovala agresivní politika USA. Washington se dlouhodobě snaží oslabit jakoukoliv mocnost, kterou považuje za hrozbu své globální nadvládě.Diesen tyto události včleňuje do širšího historického kontextu, jímž je přechod od americké liberální hegemonie k multipolárnímu uspořádání světa. Úvodní kapitoly proto věnuje pojmu mezinárodní řád a ukazuje, jak se napříč staletími proměňoval. Vychází přitom ze školy politického realismu, která za hlavní znak mezinárodního řádu považuje rozložení moci. Moc může být rozptýlena mezi řadu hráčů, jako ve starověkém Řecku mezi Athénami, Spartou, Korintem, Thébami a dalšími, nebo naopak soustředěna v rukách jednoho z nich, jako tomu bylo v Římském impériu. Každý model má své výhody a nevýhody a v průběhu staletí se střídají. Dnes zažíváme přechod od centralizovaného systému americké hegemonie k systému, v němž bude více mocenských center, vedle USA také například Čína, Indie, Rusko či Brazílie, a kterému se říká multipolarita.Diesenova kniha je výjimečná jak svým shrnutím války na Ukrajině, tak i jejím zasazením do širší souvislosti změny světového řádu. Autor racionálně vyhodnocuje fakta, která jsou dnes propagandisty zamlčována a cenzory stíhána. Diesen nutně rozzlobí i české hlídače veřejné debaty. Čtenáři však dává možnost zahlédnout pravou tvář mezinárodní politiky i konfliktu v našem sousedství, který tak neblaze dopadá na naše životy. Jeho text je také výzvou Evropanům, aby si uvědomili, že pokud budou jejich vlády pokračovat v nastoupené zahraniční politice, řítí se do katastrofy. - Z doslovu prof. Petra Druláka

The Northern Bank Job - Glenn Patterson

The true story of one of the biggest bank heists in Irish and British history – and the questions that remain.On a Sunday evening in December 2004, two young men were at home with their families. Both worked for the Northern Bank’s cash centre in Belfast. They heard knocks on their front doors. Within a few minutes, masked men invaded their homes, overpowered their loved ones and disabled their electronic devices. It was made clear to the two bank officials that they had a choice: do what they were told or their families would die.Over the course of the following day, £26.5 million was stolen from the Northern Bank: the biggest cash heist in Irish and British history. The two men whose families were held hostage simply re-labelled vast amounts of cash as rubbish and wheeled huge bags to a van waiting outside in the street, yards from Belfast’s City Hall. The robbers’ knowledge of the inner workings of the bank was astonishing. They deployed a large crew of drivers, guards, watchers and gunmen.It was immediately obvious that only one organization had the ability to plan and execute such an audacious, minutely-planned robbery: the Irish Republican Army. But the IRA was supposed to be demobilized as a result of the Good Friday Peace Agreement signed six years earlier. The leaders of Sinn Féin (who were also leaders of the IRA) vehemently denied they had anything to do with it.No-one believed them. The governments in London, Dublin and Washington were outraged. Yet no one was ever been convicted of any crime relating to the heist and little more than two years later, Sinn Féin was in government in Northern Ireland.In the wake of the twentieth anniversary of this bizarre robbery, Glenn Patterson builds on his popular BBC podcast to shed new light on the story of the infamous heist, the victims, the organizers and the abortive, at times comically inept, attempts to find the people who carried it out.

The Story of the Pony Express - Glenn D. Bradley

The Story of the Pony Express is a book written by Glenn D. Bradley. This tiny book's sole goal is to provide a reliable, practical, and readable overview of the Pony Express. This admirable endeavor made a significant contribution to history and showed what the American spirit is capable of. It demonstrated that not all of the "heroes of '61" engaged in armed conflict south of the Mason-Dixon line. Strangely enough, hardly much formal writing has been done on the subject. The author has attempted to highlight and make accessible to all readers the more significant details of the Pony Express, including its conception, structure, and development, its historical significance, its background, and some anecdotes related to its operation. The subject introduces you to a wide range of fascinating material, much of it irrelevant but nevertheless fascinating. This information is disjointed and illogical on its own. It would be simple to fill many pages with western adventures that have no particular connection to the main subject.

Dusk to Dawn - Glenn Randall

Embrace the dark and conquer landscape photography at night!In the past, landscape photography largely ended when the last light of dusk faded from the sky. Today it's only beginning. The latest digital cameras have made it much easier to create images of the landscape at night that film and early digital photographers could only dream of. Equipped with off-the-shelf cameras, more and more photographers are venturing into the night, far beyond the comforting glow of city lights, and returning with spectacular images of places both familiar and unknown that are unlike anything seen before. Dusk to Dawn: A Guide to Landscape Photography at Night, 2nd Edition, is your guide to this new photographic world. In it, photographer Glenn Randall author of the bestselling The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photography teaches you how to plan, shoot, and process professional-quality images of the Milky Way, the aurora, lunar eclipses, meteor showers, comets, star trails and landscapes lit solely by moonlight. In this fully revised and updated second edition, Randall goes deeper into today's technology that allows for great landscape photography at night: from mirrorless cameras that now truly dominate the market (and require a different approach to focusing) to the apps photographers need to know to best prepare for a successful shoot (Photo Pills, Photo Ephemeris Web). This edition has been also updated with dozens of new photographs from the author, as well as a new section on photographing comets. Throughout the book, Randall emphasises ways to integrate beautiful depictions of the night sky with equally compelling renditions of the land below it to create complete landscape images that evoke a sense of place and a sense of wonder. Equipped with the knowledge in this book, readers will be able to create their own nocturnal masterpieces.

George Orwell's Perverse Humanity - Glenn Burgess

This is the first book to focus primarily on George Orwell’s ideas about free speech and related matters – freedom of the press, the writer’s freedom of expression, honesty and truthfulness – and, in particular, the ways in which they are linked to his political vision of socialism. Orwell is today claimed by the Left and Right, by neo-conservatives and neo-socialists. How is that possible? Part of the answer, as Glenn Burgess reveals, is that Orwell was an odd sort of socialist. The development of Orwell’s socialism was, from the start, conditioned by his individualist and liberal commitments. The hopes he attached to socialism were for a fairer, more equal world that would permit human freedom and individuality to flourish, completing, not destroying, the work of liberalism. Freedom of thought was a central part of this, and its defence and use were essential parts of the struggle to ensure that socialism developed in a liberal, humane form that did not follow the totalitarian path of Soviet communism. Written in celebration of Orwell’s dictum, ''We hold that the most perverse human being is more interesting than the most orthodox gramophone record,'' George Orwell''s Perverse Humanity is a portrait of Orwell that captures these themes and provides a new understanding of him as a political thinker and activist. Based on archival research and new materials that affirm his work as an activist for freedom, it also uncovers a socialist ideology that has been obscured in just the way that the author feared it would be – associated in many people’s minds with totalitarian unfreedom.

Self-Censorship - Glenn C. Loury

There is no such thing as free, unconstrained speech. Laws and constitutions may protect us from the state when we speak our minds. But the state is just one possible constraint. Glenn Loury, one of America's most outspoken and important intellectuals, provides a provocative and dazzling analysis of the powerful social forces that can prevent speakers from voicing unpopular views in public forums. Every society, Loury notes, has norms to enforce. That can be a good thing: There ought to be social sanctions for, say, compulsive liars. When, however, a society shows a low degree of tolerance for speech about matters of political importance, self-censorship proliferates and public discourse and policy suffer. The answer, Loury argues, is for as many of us as possible to be braver and more human – to take a risk and unapologetically live within the truth”. Loury first presented these ideas in the 1990s in a celebrated and prophetic essay about political correctness. In Self-Censorship he expands and updates the account, deploying his analytical powers and psychological acuity to diagnose our current political climate. The result illuminates prevailing social dynamics with the same brilliant and startling effect that made the paper an instant classic thirty years ago. Also available as an audiobook.

While Moms Way Worse highlighted creatures across the animal kingdom who are terrible at parenting, Dads Way Worse showcases fictional dads (and their parenting failures) across history and in popular culture. What dad would think he’s doing poorly when compared to Jack from The Shining, Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones, or…Walter White from Breaking Bad?: It’s fine if at a barbecue, your “Grill Dad” skills are greenAs long as what you’re cooking isn’t methamphetamine! Or Darth Vader: Oops! Forgot their bathtime? Mess up a mid-day snack?Better than a cauterizing light saber attack. The pages include plenty of Easter eggs for the true pop-culture nerds and history buffs, plus an informative and hilarious appendix that expands on the faults and foibles of the dads featured within.

Jennie C. Jones: Ensemble - Lauren Rosati, Glenn Ligon

Documenting Jennie C. Jones’s multisensory site-specific artwork, this volume highlights her inspirations—from Minimalism and Modernism to avant-garde music  Multimedia artist Jennie C. Jones draws on the aesthetics of minimalism and the improvisational qualities of avant-garde music to consider the sonic potential of abstraction. This volume, the latest in The Met’s Roof Garden Commission series, documents Jones’s dynamic installation. It features a trio of sculptural forms based on stringed instruments—a zither, a one-string, and an Aeolian harp—joined by a floor-based work that serves as the “conductor” of this ensemble. Full of sonic possibility, the sculptures sit quietly until they are played by the movement of the wind. An essay situates Ensemble within the artist’s larger practice and an interview with Jones conducted by Glenn Ligon charts the development of the commission, connects her site-responsive work to the collection and architecture of The Met, and explores the artist’s unique engagement with sound and visual abstraction.  Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press  Exhibition Schedule:  The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (April 15–October 19, 2025)

Uju Asika shares honestly and openly as a mother/bonus mother of three boys and writes with an inquisitive mind, which together with her humour, referencing a world of ''farts and manspreading'', makes for an easy and page turning read. Given the increasingly worrying rate of suicides amongst young males, I predict this book is going to be a significant and important resource for any parent bringing up sons, and educators dealing with boys, to ensure we all are aware of the part we play in raising them to be contented, confident and considerate men." - Elaine Halligan, parenting coach and author of My Child''s Different------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We need to have a conversation about boys.
