A New York Times Bestseller!2019 was the last great year for the globalized world economy. For generations, everything has been getting faster, better, and cheaper. Finally, we reached the point that almost anything you could ever want could be sent to your home within days - even hours - of when you decided you wanted it. America made that happen, but now America has lost interest in keeping it going. Globe-spanning supply chains are only possible with the protection of the U.S. Navy. The American dollar underpins internationalized energy and financial markets. Complex, innovative industries were created to satisfy American consumers. American security policy forced warring nations to lay down their arms. Billions of people have been fed and educated as the American-led trade system spread across the globe. All of this was artificial. All this was temporary. All this is ending. In The End of the World is Just the Beginning, author and geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan maps out the next world: a reality of deglobalization where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that ...

An original, revolutionary new social and scientific history, examining the role that confinement has played in fostering and hindering epidemicsA History of the World in Six Plagues unveils a powerful and unsettling truth: epidemic diseases enter the world by chance, but they become catastrophic by human design.In this groundbreaking work, Bonhomme explores how six pivotal diseases - Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola and COVID-19 - have shaped the trajectory of human history. With vivid storytelling and rigorous research, she reveals how pandemics have consistently widened the gaps in racial, economic and sociopolitical divides, from the slave ships of the Atlantic to today's fractured healthcare systems.How did a colonial obsession with sugar amplify the devastation of Cholera? Why did sleeping sickness become a weapon of empire in Tanzania? And how has COVID-19 magnified inequities in our modern, interconnected world?Bonhomme's incisive analysis transforms our understanding of public health, not as a neutral force but as a stage where power, policy and prejudice collide. Urgent and illuminating, A History of the World in Six Plagues is not just a history of disease - it is a call to reimagine a more equitable future in the face of ongoing global health ...

Fears of its recurrence have been routinely invoked to justify Israel’s policies against Palestinians. But for most people around the world – the ‘darker peoples’, in W. E. B. Du Bois’s words – the main historical memory is of the traumatic experiences of slavery and colonialism, and the central event of the twentieth century is decolonisation – freedom from the white man’s world.The World After Gaza takes the war in the Middle East, and the bitterly polarised reaction to it within as well as outside the West, as the starting point for a broad reevaluation of two competing narratives of the last century: the West’s triumphant account of victory over Nazi and communist totalitarianism, and the spread of liberal capitalism, and the global majority''s ...

Kniha Růže k snídani (Fotorenesance, 2021) je reflexí nedávné cesty po Indii. Fotografie a vyprávění Gabriely Kumar Sharma protkané poezií Petra Koudelky líčí obraz putování po daleké zemi, ale i do vlastního nitra. V Indii se setkávají dva příběhy. V esejisticky laděném povídání se řeší zásadní problém: má žena, která tu vystupuje ve třetí osobě, začít nový život ve vzdálené zemi, nebo pokračovat v zaběhaných kolejích doma v Praze či v New Yorku? Jak se rozhodne? K odpovědi, která padne až v poslední větě, se čtenář dostane i prostřednictvím autorčiných fotografií. Provázejí nás od kaváren a rezidenčních čtvrtí Dillí do končin Himálaje, moderním Čandígarhem, posvátnými hinduistickými obřady v Sunder Nagar až po jabloňové sady Shimly. Druhý příběh vedený ve verších podává stejný problém rozhodování a osudového směřování člověka, tentokrát v existenciální rovině. Protínání dnů a roků se mění na křižovatku života a smrti. Duchovní inspirace Indií má oporu v desítkách navštívených míst: mešita Jama Masjid, Tádž Mahál, bitevní pole Kurukšétry, pohřební gháty Haridváru či vody Gangy. Jestli se někomu podaří spojit obě linie knížky do jednoho čtenářského zážitku, může se těšit z pocitu, že sám Indii právě navštívil.

Může mít kniha dva tituly? Ano, když se v ní těsně prolínají dva příběhy, dva autoři, dva žánry. Ale jedno téma: náš duchovní život od stvoření, odrážející se v řadě náboženství. Životní setkání s tradicemi, od judaismu přes hinduismus až ke křesťanství, zachytila podle své paměti na večeři pro přátele v New Yorku v Den díkůvzdání autorka Gabriela Kumar Sharma. Jeden z hostů nepřišel a právě on svědčí ve verších o skutečnosti stvoření. Je to svědectví aktuální, z pohledu naší drsné doby. Mohl by to být i Adam s Evou, kdo sledují Boha při práci na stvoření v sedmi biblických dnech. Autorem veršů inspirovaných Haydnovým oratoriem Stvoření je Petr Koudelka.

‘Mishra’s book is in the best tradition of Buddhism, both dispassionate and deeply engaged, complicated and simple, erudite and profoundly humane’ The New York TimesAn accomplished history of the Buddha, An End to Suffering is also a deeply personal story – the story of Pankaj Mishra’s search for meaning, for truth and peace in the modern world and, specifically, in a postcolonial, independent India. As he describes his travels to unearth the origins of the Buddha, Mishra offers glimpses into his own quest for enlightenment, from childhood to the September 11 attacks, from family background to friends met and made, from lessons learned to his achievements as a writer. Through this, Mishra reveals the parallels between his time and the Buddha’s, between their respective journeys – and that of their country – in search of progress and reconciliation.‘Mishra is one of the most important voices of our generation’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads

ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a family whose very name connoted wealth. The Vanderbilts had a vast empire built on freight through steamboats and railroads. Over a few generations, the wealth-worth billions in today's money-had been frittered away and the business itself faded as new options came up in the freight business. Their story remains an enduring example of what happens when business leaders fail to embrace the future and transform. BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION is a live subject, one that authors R. Gopalakrishnan and Hrishi Bhattacharyya have between them a hundred-plus years of leading in their companies. Their learnings, supported by numerous examples, make for riveting reading. One chief lesson why such transformations succeed or fail has to do with combining the art and science of the change - the heart and the mind - and getting the balance of the two right. In life as in business, to effect a transformation, one needs a compelling narrative, one that inspires the organisation. Important too is to see transformation as a continuous endeavour and made a part of work culture rather than to consider it an exercise undertaken only in a crisis.

Pankaj Mishra''s provocative account of how China, India and the Muslim World are remaking the world in their own image - shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2013SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2013Viewed in the West as a time of self-confident progress, the Victorian period was experienced by Asians as a catastrophe. As the British gunned down the last heirs to the Mughal Empire or burned down the Summer Palace in Beijing, it was clear that for Asia to recover a new way of thinking was needed. Pankaj Mishra re-tells the history of the past two centuries, showing how a remarkable, disparate group of thinkers, journalists, radicals and charismatics emerged from the ruins of empire to create an unstoppable Asian renaissance, one whose ideas lie behind everything from the Chinese Communist Party to the Muslim Brotherhood, and have made our world what it is today.Reviews:''Arrestingly original ... this penetrating and disquieting book should be on the reading list of anybody who wants to understand where we are today'' John Gray, Independent ''A riveting account that makes new and illuminating connections ... deeply entertaining and deeply humane'' Hisham Matar''Fascinating ... a rich and genuinely thought-provoking book'' Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph''Provocative, shaming and ...

Well-written and carefully researched ... a fresh, thoughtful look at Buddhism and its monuments in India' Professor Susan L. Huntington, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Ohio State University A sweeping 2,500-year journey through India's most sacred Buddhist monuments The story of Buddhism in India is reflected in both its teachings and the sacred stones, stupas and caves that span the Indian landscape - each one a silent witness to its timeless power. From the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha found enlightenment, to Sarnath, where he shared his wisdom for the first time, these places are not merely relics of the past - they are living, breathing testaments to a spiritual path that has transcended centuries and borders, offering serenity and inspiration to all who seek them. In Casting the Buddha, Shashank Shekhar Sinha brings these venerated spaces to life, from the intricate stupas of Sanchi to the painted caves of Ajanta, where art and devotion converge. At Nalanda, where scholars once pondered the mysteries of existence, the essence of Buddhist thought is revealed, offering a glimpse into the intellectual legacy of the faith.

Gitanjali (1912) is a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Translated into English by Tagore and published with a groundbreaking introduction by Irish poet W. B.

When Yeats discovered Tagore’s work in translation, he felt an intense kinship with a man whose work was similarly grounded in spirituality and opposition to the British Empire. For the Irish poet, Tagore’s poems were at once deeply personal and essentially universal, like a secret kept by all and shared regardless: “I have carried the manuscript of these translations about with me for days, reading it in railway trains, or on the top of omnibuses and in restaurants, and I have often had to close it lest some stranger would see how much it moved me.” Whether or not we admit it, his words never fail to remind us: to be human is to be vulnerable. “Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure.

An abidingove of natureies at the root of all of Rabindranath Tagore''s works. Thousands of pages have been written in appreciation of his writings on nature. However, Tagore has not commonly been considered relevant to the current environmental debate. Using theens of ecocriticism, the author shows us how Tagore brings up important issues regarding the imbalanced relationship between man and nature, decades before the concept had been formally introduced. Rabindranath Tagore: Aife of Intimacy with Nature differs from earlier works in its exploration of Tagore''s quest to nurture the delicate relationship between the human and natural realms of existence, consciously and consistently. The book shows how an ecocritical evaluation of Tagore, today, can help us discern his pioneering role in this field, especially when man''s neglect of the environment is having a disastrous impact on a global scale.

V rámci výzkumu pozvaly také šest renomovaných umělkyň a umělců, aby se potkali ve studiu v praktickém výzkumu a při rozhovorech, které reflektují jejich vtělenou zkušenost s taneční improvizací. Rosalind Crisp, Julyen Hamilton, Wendy Houstoun, Eva Karczag, Daniel Lepkoff a Nita Little sdílejí rozbíhající a sbíhající se cesty k improvizaci, názory na pedagogiku, okamžitou kompozici a své strategie i zkušenosti s tvorbou a vystupováním na jevišti.

''This is about gob-smacking science at the far end of reason ... Take it nice and easy and savour the experience of your mind being blown without recourse to hallucinogens'' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian For most people, quantum theory is a byword for mysterious, impenetrable science. And yet for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves.In this magisterial book, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly-written history of this fundamental scientific revolution, and the divisive debate at its core. Quantum theory looks at the very building blocks of our world, the particles and processes without which it could not exist.Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that quantum theory denied the very existence of reality itself. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar shows how the golden age of physics ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century.Quantum theory is weird. In 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying a century of experiments. Werner Heisenberg''s uncertainty principle and Erwin Schrodinger''s famous dead-and-alive cat are similarly strange.

The many who came late to this new world or were left, or pushed, behind, reacted in horrifyingly similar ways: intense hatred of invented enemies, attempts to re-create an imaginary golden age, and self-empowerment through spectacular violence. It was from among the ranks of the disaffected that the militants of the 19th century arose - angry young ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Krishna Kumari: The Tragedy of India introduces readers to the first English language play in modern India.Written in 1826 by English Subba Rao, one of the first Indians to be schooled in English, Krishna Kumari depicts the true story of a princess of Udaipur who is forced to commit suicide in order to end a war started by her suitors, the rulers of the neighboring kingdoms of Jaipur and Jodhpur. Tragically, her death proves to be in vain because the mercenaries recruited by the contending rulers nevertheless proceed to plunder the region. All three kingdoms are then compelled to seek the protection of the East India Company, bringing their independence to an end.Sharp and witty, Krishna Kumari was intended to warn Indian principalities against the follies that led to the downfall of the Rajputs. Unfortunately, the play scarcely saw the light of day. Angered by Subba Rao''s opposition to their power, the British forced him to withdraw from public life. This is why audiences have never heard of Krishna Kumari-until now. Building on extensive archival research, this volume brings Subba Rao''s pioneering drama back to life. The introductory essay by Rahul Sagar, a leading scholar of nineteenth century India, familiarizes ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A romantic journey through forty captivating gardens lost to time. All over the world, once-flourishing horticultural spaces have been abandoned and forgotten. From the once-crumbling grandeur of the Villa d’Este and the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the sculptural surrealism of Las Pozas and the colourful rebirth of Le Jardin Majorelle, there are countless gardens around the world with fascinating stories to tell. Author and journalist Sandra Lawrence takes readers on a tour of 40 horticultural gems from around the world that have been lost either through neglect, abandonment or destruction. Many have been consigned to history, never to be seen again, while others have been revived and restored by the care and dedication of new owners and communities. These marvels of horticulture take many forms: stately homes, floating allotments, roof gardens and more. But all of them have one thing in common: the romance of paradise lost. Featuring one bespoke illustration of each garden by renowned artist Lucille Clerc, this book is a written celebration of our love of nature, and the importance of keeping these oases of green alive and well – if not in reality, then at least on the page.

Set on a Bengali noble''s estate in 1908, this is both a love story and a novel of political awakening. The central character, Bimala, is torn between the duties owed to her husband, Nikhil, and the demands made on her by the radical leader, Sandip. Her attempts to resolve the irreconciliable pressures of the home and world reflect the conflict in India itself, and the tragic outcome foreshadows the unrest that accompanied Partition in 1947.

To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to practice love.This is the radical message of this inspirational book of pithy advice from environmental activist Satish Kumar, which helps us find ways to love ourselves, others, and all beings on planet Earth—even those we may find unlovable.Satish Kumar is well known for his epic walk for world peace in his youth in the 1960s from India to the nuclear capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DC. Wherever he traveled, he found that human beings were capable of a love that could overcome hatred and division. Settling down in the UK, he married his wife, June Mitchell, and founded eco-university Schumacher College in Devon, eventually becoming a leading figure in the UK green movement.Radical Love distills the author''s lifetime of experience as a lover, parent, activist, and educator into simple lessons on transforming our time of ecological crisis, conflict, and scarcity into one in which we experience harmony with nature, safety, and abundance. It is an exploration of the transformative power of love in all its forms, from romantic love to love for one''s family and community to love for the planet and all beings. Kumar''s approach is founded on ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Humans are moral creatures. Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution. They explore the moral traits that humans share with chimpanzees; how a more complex moral mind enabled Homo sapiens to arise and out-compete other human species; and the place of morality alongside historic revolutions in technology and social organization. Throughout the book, Kumar and Campbell argue that morality co-evolved with intelligence and complex sociality. Morality prevents societal collapse and enables complex knowledge. After unearthing the ancient origins of human morality, Kumar and Campbell use evolutionary theory to deliver profound insights about how to advance moral progress and resist moral regress, such as reducing animal suffering on industrial farms; capitalizing on the recent revolution in gay rights to foster a nascent revolution in transgender rights; opposing intersectional inequality that impacts women and people of color in lower socioeconomic ...

The fascinating life story of Satish Kumar – monk, peace activist, pilgrim and ecological campaigner.When he was only nine years old, Satish Kumar renounced the world and joined the wandering brotherhood of Jain monks. Dissuaded from this path by an inner voice at the age of eighteen, he became a campaigner for land reform, working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a renewed India into reality.Fired by the example of Bertrand Russell, he undertook a peace pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through mountains, deserts, storms and snow. It was an adventure during which he was thrown into jail in France, faced a loaded gun in America, and delivered packets of ''peace tea'' to the leaders of the four nuclear powers. He settled in England, taking on the editorship of Resurgence magazine, and becoming the guiding light behind a number of ecological, spiritual and educational ventures, including Schumacher College.This edition of Satish Kumar''s inspirational autobiography commemorates the foundation of Schumacher College, with new chapters about the college and bringing Satish''s story up-to-date. Following Indian tradition, in his fiftieth year he undertook another pilgrimage: again without any money, he walked to the holy places of Britain - Glastonbury, Lindisfarne, ...

Poet, novelist, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is the grand master of Bengali culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes in their depiction of peasantry and gentry, casteism, corrupt officialdom and dehumanizing poverty. Yet Tagore is first and foremost India''s supreme Romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond mere documentary realism towards his own profoundly original vision.

The poems of Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) are among the most haunting and tender in Indian and in world literature, expressing a profound and passionate human yearning. His ceaselessly inventive works deal with such subjects as the interplay between God and the world, the eternal and transient, and with the paradox of an endlessly changing universe that is in tune with unchanging harmonies. Poems such as ''Earth'' and ''In the Eyes of a Peacock'' present a picture of natural processes unaffected by human concerns, while others, as in ''Recovery - 14'', convey the poet''s bewilderment about his place in the world. And exuberant works such as ''New Rain'' and ''Grandfather''s Holiday'' describe Tagore''s sheer joy at the glories of nature or simply in watching a grandchild play.

In his 'Song Offerings to the Creator', Rabindranath Tagore uses modernized images from classical Indian love poetry to symbolize his yearning to merge with God. The mud-stained traveller, the parched summer earth, the bride awaiting the return of her lord, the first monsoon shower, the flowers, the rivers and the conch are images which gain a mystical depth in these poems. Included in this edition is WB Yeat's introduction to the first edition of Tagore's English rendering of Gitanjali. Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.

More than a hundred years ago, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a novel called "The Lost World" with the exciting premise that dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts still ruled in South America. Little did Conan Doyle know, there were terrifying monsters in South America--they just happened to be extinct. In fact, South America has an incredible history as a land where many strange creatures evolved and died out. In his book "Giants of the Lost World: Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Monsters of South America," Donald R. Prothero uncovers the real science and history behind this fascinating story. The largest animal ever discovered was the huge sauropod dinosaur "Argentinosaurus," which was about 130 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. The carnivorous predator "Giganotosaurus" weighed in at more than 8 tons and measured more than 47 feet long, dwarfing the "T. rex" in comparison. Gigantic anaconda''s broke reptile records; possums evolved into huge sabre-toothed predators; and ground sloths grew larger than elephants in this strange, unknown land. Prothero presents the scientific details about each of these prehistoric beasts, provides a picture of the ancient landscapes they once roamed and includes the stories of the individuals who first discovered their fossils ...
