Kissinger - Niall Ferguson
''Riveting ... this will be his masterpiece'' - Andrew Roberts, The New York Times''For big, bold and compelling, it is impossible to ignore Kissinger'' - John Bew, New Statesman, Books of the Year ''This is a superb history of the modern world as well as a biography of Kissinger ... a tour de force'' William Shawcross, The TimesNo American statesman has been as revered and as reviled as Henry Kissinger. Hailed by some as the "indispensable man", whose advice has been sought by every president from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush, Kissinger has also attracted immense hostility from critics who have cast him as an amoral Machiavellian - the ultimate cold-blooded "realist".In this remarkable new book, the first of two volumes, Niall Ferguson has created an extraordinary panorama of Kissinger''s world, and a paradigm-shifting reappraisal of the man. Only through knowledge of Kissinger''s early life (as a Jew in Hitler''s Germany, a poor immigrant in New York, a GI at the Battle of the Bulge, an interrogator of Nazis, and a student of history at Harvard) can we understand his debt to the philosophy of idealism.And only by tracing his rise, fall and revival as an adviser to ...

The Cash Nexus - Niall Ferguson
Modern history shows that a nation''s success largely depends on the way it manages its money. But where do money and politics meet? From 1700 to the present day, Niall Ferguson offers a bold and original analysis of the evolution of today''s economic and political landscape. Far from being driven by the profit motive alone, our recent history, as Ferguson makes brilliantly clear, has also been made by potent and often conflicting human impulses - sex, violence and the desire for power. In this dazzling, powerful and controversial explanation of modern world history and the fundamental force that lurks behind it all, Niall Ferguson answers the big questions about finance and its crucial place in bringing happiness and despair, warfare and welfare, boom and crash to nations buffeted by the onward march of history.

Niall Ferguson''s acclaimed bestseller on the highs and lows of Britain''s empireOnce vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall?

The Great Degeneration - Niall Ferguson
The decline of the West is something that has long been prophesied. Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, ageing populations. But what exactly is amiss with Western civilization? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, is that the institutions that were once the four pillars of Western society - representative government, the free market, the rule of law and civil society - are degenerating. The Great Degeneration is a powerful indictment of an era of negligence and complacency. To stop us frittering away the institutional inheritance of centuries, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform. ''A refreshing perspective on the economic decline of advanced countries and the origins of the crisis'' Samuel Brittan, Financial Times ''He writes with splendid panache and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit'' The Times ''One of the most incisive writers of history, politics and economics today'' Sunday Telegraph ''Niall Ferguson has transformed the intellectual landscape'' Economist

The Pity of War - Niall Ferguson
The First World War killed around eight million men and bled Europe dry. In this provocative book Niall Ferguson asks: was the sacrifice worth it? Was it all really an inevitable cataclysm and were the Germans a genuine threat? Was the war, as is often asserted, greeted with popular enthusiasm? Why did men keep on fighting when conditions were so wretched? Was there in fact a death wish abroad, driving soldiers to their own destruction? The war, he argues, was a disaster - but not for the reasons we think. Far worse than a tragedy, it was the greatest error of modern history.''The most challenging and provocative analysis of the First World War to date'' Ian Kershaw ''Must take a permanent place at the top of the War''s historiography. It is one of the very few books whose own scale matches that of the events it describes'' Alan Clark, Daily Telegraph''Possibly the most important book to appear in years both on the origins of the First World War ...

Věž a náměstí - Niall Ferguson
Britský historik Niall Ferguson, autor řady vysoce oceňovaných publikací (naposledy např. Civilizace), ve své nové práci analyzuje podoby mocenského vlivu. Jednu - vertilkální, hierarchickou - charakterizuje metafora věže; druhou - horizontální, založenou na síti vztahů - zase obraz náměstí. Autor zkoumá jejich historický vývoj i koexistenci. V historických knihách je patrnější ona vertikální struktura, na jejímž vrcholu stáli králové a papežové, ale to neznamená, že by horizontální sítě společenských vztahů byly záležitostí moderní doby, ve které jako by komunikace po Facebooku hrála větší roli než politické uspořádání. Ferguson ukazuje podobu společenských sítí v minulých dobách a v jejich rozvoji a úpadku nachází varovné signály pro sítě novodobé, protože sítě byly vždy náchylné k uzavírání, přenášení negativních signálů či výpadkům.

Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe - Niall Ferguson
A compelling history of catastrophes and their consequences, from 'the most brilliant British historian of his generation' (The Times)Disasters are inherently hard to predict. But when catastrophe strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet the responses of many developed countries to a new pathogen from China were badly bungled. Why?While populist rulers certainly performed poorly in the face of the pandemic, Niall Ferguson argues that more profound pathologies were at work - pathologies already visible in our responses to earlier disasters.Drawing from multiple disciplines, including economics and network science, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe offers not just a history but a general theory of disaster. As Ferguson shows, governments must learn to become less bureaucratic if we are to avoid the impending doom of irreversible decline.

The House of Rothschild - Niall Ferguson
This second volume of Niall Ferguson''s acclaimed, landmark history of the legendary Rothschild banking dynasty concludes his myth-breaking portrait of one of the most powerful and fascinating families of modern times. With all the depth, clarity and drama with which he traced the Rothschild''s ascent, Ferguson shows how their power waned as conflicts from Crimea to the Second World War repeatedly threatened the stability of their worldwide empire, and how their failure to establish themselves successfully in the United States would prove fateful. At once a classic family saga and a major work of economic, social and political history, this is the definitive biography of some of the most powerful financiers of recent times.

Britské impérium - Niall Ferguson
Ferguson líčí historii Britského impéria od 16. do 21. století. Impérium, které v době svého vrcholu ovládalo čtvrtinu světové populace, čtvrtinu zemského povrchu a téměř všechny oceány, se příznivě podepsalo na vývoji Spojených států a Kanady, Indie, Afriky, Austrálie, Nového Zélandu, východní Asie a Číny. Podle Fergusona impérium neožebračovalo národy, které se ocitly pod jeho nadvládou, ale naopak zajišťovalo jejich ekonomický blahobyt tím, že díky této nadvládě byly tyto země politicky stabilní. Idea svobody odlišovala impérium v minulosti od jeho evropských soupeřů, což se mj. projevilo během boje proti nevolnictví. Autor rovněž vyzdvihuje funkční efektivitu impéria. Například v Indii 900 civilních úředníků a 70 tisíc vojáků vládlo 250 milionům Indů. Kniha pro českého čtenáře představuje nejen možnost seznámit se s dějinami, fungováním a dědictvím Britského impéria, ale zároveň jedinečnou příležitost korigovat obsah takových zažitých pojmů, jako je kolonialismus nebo vykořisťování. Díky této knize můžeme také lépe pochopit odstup, který si Velká Británie vždy udržovala od kontinentu i Evropské unie a který nakonec vyvrcholil brexitem. Publikace je vybavena rozsáhlým obrazovým materiálem, který působivě dokresluje charakter a atmosféru impéria v té které době a zemi. Nové vydání světového bestselleru.

“Dazzling and instructive . . . [a] magisterial new book.” —Walter Isaacson, Time"An astute analysis that illuminates many of today''s critical international issues." —Kirkus Reviews Henry Kissinger offers in World Order a deep meditation on the roots of international harmony and global disorder. Drawing on his experience as one of the foremost statesmen of the modern era—advising presidents, traveling the world, observing and shaping the central foreign policy events of recent decades—Kissinger now reveals his analysis of the ultimate challenge for the twenty-first century: how to build a shared international order in a world of divergent historical perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology, and ideological extremism.There has never been a true “world order,” Kissinger observes. For most of history, civilizations defined their own concepts of order. Each considered itself the center of the world and envisioned its distinct principles as universally relevant. China conceived of a global cultural hierarchy with the emperor at its pinnacle. In Europe, Rome imagined itself surrounded by barbarians; when Rome fragmented, European peoples refined a concept of an equilibrium of sovereign states and sought to export it across the world. Islam, in its early centuries, considered itself the world’s sole legitimate political unit, destined to expand ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The definitive biography of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and how his ideas still resonate in the world today from the bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs.By the time Henry Kissinger was made secretary of state in 1973, he had become, according to the Gallup Poll, the most admired person in America and one of the most unlikely celebrities ever to capture the world''s imagination. Yet Kissinger was also reviled by large segments of the American public, ranging from liberal intellectuals to conservative activists. Kissinger explores the relationship between this complex man’s personality and the foreign policy he pursued. Drawing on extensive interviews with Kissinger as well as 150 other sources, including US presidents and his business clients, this first full-length biography makes use of many of Kissinger’s private papers and classified memos to tell his uniquely American story. The result is an intimate narrative, filled with surprising revelations, that takes this grandly colorful statesman from his childhood as a persecuted Jew in Nazi Germany, through his tortured relationship with Richard Nixon, to his later years as a globe-trotting business consultant.

As if taking a perspective from far above the globe, it examines the great tectonic plates of history and the motivations of nations, explaining the attitudes that states and empires have taken to the rest of the world from the formation of Europe to our own times.Kissinger identifies four great ''world orders'' in history - the European, Islamic, Chinese and American. Since the end of Charlemagne''s empire, and especially since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Europeans have striven for balance in international affairs, first in their own continent and then globally. Islamic states have looked to their destined expansion over regions populated by unbelievers, a position exemplified today by Iran under the ayatollahs.

Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.'In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft which he believes they embodied.After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls 'the strategy of humility'. Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by 'the strategy of will'. During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by 'the strategy of equilibrium'.After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a 'strategy of transcendence'. ...

Ferguson TE-20 Tractor - Pat Ware
In 1917 Harry Ferguson developed a method of attaching a wheel-less plough to a tractor to reduce the dangers of the machine overturning. By 1925 the plough was in production in the USA and Ferguson set about developing equipment that would effectively integrate the implement and the tractor.Ferguson teamed up with David Brown to produce the Ferguson-Brown Type A but sales did not meet Harry''s expectations. Following a demonstration of the Ferguson-Brown tractor to Henry Ford, agreement was reached with the Ford Motor Company in the USA to build an improved version of the tractor there. It was launched in 1939 as the Ford-Ferguson 9N. When Ford terminated this arrangement Ferguson entered an agreement with the Standard Motor Company to bring production of what was now described as the Ferguson TE-20, to Britain. The first were built in 1946 and over the next ten years more than 793,000 examples were produced in Britain, France and the USA. With its revolutionary three-point hydraulic linkage, Ferguson had always seen his tractor as part of a complete farming system and by the time the TE-20 was superseded by the FE-35 in 1956, there were more than 100 Ferguson implements designed specifically to couple ...

Obnovení světového řádu - Metternich, Castlereagh a potíže s mírem v letech 1812-1822 - Henry A. Kissinger
Ve své první práci o dějinách mezinárodní politiky z roku 1957 se Kissinger zabývá diplomatickou historií Evropy od Napoleonovy porážky v Rusku přes sérii mezinárodních kongresů v letech 1814-1822 až po protiturecké povstání v Řecku 1822, které definitivně ukončilo již několik let slábnoucí britskou participaci na evropské politice. V centru autorovy pozornosti stojí aktéři mnoha desítek rozhovorů, konferencí a kongresů - rakouský kancléř Metternich a jeho protějšek, britský ministr zahraničí lord Castlereagh. Především na jejich osudech a názorech sledujeme, jak se habsburská monarchie po Napoleonově pádu postupně odpoutává od svého vnuceného francouzského spojence a přebírá vůdčí roli v evropské diplomacii a zároveň jak Británie prosazuje v protinapoleonské koalici své pojetí politiky rovnováhy v Evropě. Evropské státy se tehdy pokusily na troskách ponapoleonské Evropy vystavět nový mezinárodní řád, poprvé založený na pravidelných konzultacích a snaze nalézt jednotící politické principy. Kissinger jej analyzuje pod zjevným vlivem nedávno skončené druhé světové války, která postavila svět před velmi podobný problém jako napoleonské války Evropu. A neskrývá sympatie k pragmatické, neideologické politice Metternicha a Castlereaghe, hledající stabilní mezinárodní řád založený na rovnováze sil a vzájemných garancích.

It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution.The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.

Massey Ferguson Tractors - Jonathan Whitlam
Massey Ferguson Tractors takes up the story of Massey Ferguson tractors from 1957, after the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson, when the red-and-grey colour scheme was used for the first time. The author describes the early models that were to establish Massey FergusonÂ’s reputation for rugged reliability and adaptability: the 35 and 65 models of the 1960s led to the larger 1100, 1085 and 1155 models, while, in the 1970s and 1980s, greater demands for comfort saw the arrival of the 500 and 600 series. Overall, the range performs all tasks, from the basic and popular to what is needed by the tractor powerhouses of modern industrial farming. Moreover, with all the latest developments included, Massey Ferguson Tractors brings the reader completely up to date, as well as offering a look at what the future might bring.With a wide range of modern photography covering both preserved and working examples, this is a fresh and comprehensive view of the one of the agricultural worldÂ’s most popular manufacturers of tractors, considering the tractors in relation to the time in which they were built as well as by the standards of today.

Massey Ferguson 100 Series in Detail - Michael Thorne
Following his well-received books in this ‘In Detail’ series on the Ferguson TE20 and the Massey Ferguson 35 & 65 models, author Michael Thorne turns his attention to the outstandingly successful and well-loved 100 Series of tractors. Of the 100 range, the most popular was and remains the 135. Half a million 135s were built at Massey Ferguson’s factory in Coventry alone, with production overseas on top of this figure. Another big success was the larger, more powerful 165, with nearly 200,000 sold. This model, like the 135, is among the most popular and sought-after classic tractors today, although many 135s and 165s are still in active use around the world, in spite of their age. The 100 range included a great number of other models, and in addition to the 135 and 165, which are given in-depth treatment here, important models described in detail are the 130, 148 Super-Spec, 168, 175, 185 and 188 Super-Spec. There is an extensive chapter on the implements available for the range, and another on conversions.

Aberrations in Black - Roderick A. Ferguson
A hard-hitting look at the regulation of sexual difference and its role in circumscribing African American culture The sociology of race relations in America typically describes an intersection of poverty, race, and economic discrimination. But what is missing from the picture-sexual difference-can be as instructive as what is present. In this ambitious work, Roderick A. Ferguson reveals how the discourses of sexuality are used to articulate theories of racial difference in the field of sociology. He shows how canonical sociology-Gunnar Myrdal, Ernest Burgess, Robert Park, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and William Julius Wilson-has measured African Americans’s unsuitability for a liberal capitalist order in terms of their adherence to the norms of a heterosexual and patriarchal nuclear family model. In short, to the extent that African Americans’s culture and behavior deviated from those norms, they would not achieve economic and racial equality. Aberrations in Black tells the story of canonical sociology’s regulation of sexual difference as part of its general regulation of African American culture. Ferguson places this story within other stories-the narrative of capital’s emergence and development, the histories of Marxism and revolutionary nationalism, and the novels that depict the gendered and sexual idiosyncrasies of African American culture-works by Richard Wright, ...

In Kiltumper - Williams Niall, Christine Breen
''Poignant ... A meditation on life, love and the importance of nature'' IRISH TIMESWhen they were in their twenties, Niall Williams and Christine Breen made the impulsive decision to leave New York City and move to Christine’s ancestral home in the town of Kiltumper in rural Ireland. In the decades that followed, the pair dedicated themselves to writing, gardening and living a life that followed the rhythms of the earth. In 2019, with Christine in the final stages of recovery from cancer and the surrounding land threatened by the arrival of turbines, Niall and Christine decided to document a year - in words and Christine''s drawings - of living in their garden and in their small corner of a rapidly changing world. Proceeding month by month through the year, this is the story of a garden in all its many splendours, and a couple who have made their life observing its wonders.

The Island in the Sound - Niall Campbell
The Island in the Sound, the third collection by Scottish poet Niall Campbell, creates an archipelago of memories, lyrics, observations and folktales that place the small islands of his birthplace into conversation with moments from literature and history.In this collection, mirroring the islands’ precarious future, we uncover strange links to Rome falling, Lindisfarne, and the temporary heaven found in Alamut, North Iran. The waters that churn around the islands in the poems bring strange things to their shores: saints, remnants of various types of havens, crab-boxes, and figures from the working-class lives of Uist. It is a poetry collection attuned to the growing sense that something is changing around us and there never will be a going back. These islands in the sound are what’s left: shaped, crafted, riven by the strange tuneful sea they sprang from.Niall Campbell’s first collection, Moontide (2014), won both the £20,000 Edwin Morgan Poetry Award and the Saltire First Book of the Year Award as well as being shortlisted for three other major prizes. First Nights: poems, a selection from Moontide with additional new poems, was published by Princeton University Press in the US in 2016.

Oops! Why Things Go Wrong - Niall Downey
In this ground-breaking book, Niall Downey – a cardio-thoracic surgeon who retrained to become a commercial airline pilot – uses his expertise in medicine and aviation to explore the critical issue of managing human error. With further examples from business, politics, sport, technology, the civil service and other fields, Downey makes a powerful case that by following some clear guidelines any organisation can greatly reduce the incidence and impact of human error. While acknowledging that in our fast-paced world getting things wrong is impossible to avoid completely, Downey offers a strategy based on current best practice that can make a massive difference. He concludes with an easy to use, aviation-style Safety Management System that can be hugely helpful in avoiding preventable catastrophes in organizations of all kinds. An acknowledged expert in error management, Niall Downey advises governments, major corporations and the health industry on how to develop a systemic approach to controlling for human imperfection. Arguing that prevention is far preferable to denying responsibility after the fact, he gave an influential TEDx talk outlining how healthcare could use aviation''s experience to reduce tragic outcomes and improve patient safety. Oops!

In Search of Duncan Ferguson - Alan Pattullo
He was one of the hardest, most controversial footballers of his generation: the £20million man who became the first professional player to go to jail for an offence committed on the field of play. He was the fans’ hero who disappeared. Duncan Ferguson was an old-fashioned Scottish centre-forward who went from a boarding house in Dundee to the marble staircase of Rangers in a record-breaking transfer. His £4m move from Dundee United to Ibrox made him British football’s most expensive native player. But he would also become one of the most notorious footballers in the land. Sent to prison after head-butting an opponent during a Scottish Premier Division match between Rangers and Raith Rovers, Ferguson made history all over again. He served half of a three-month sentence in Glasgow’s infamous Barlinnie Prison. A twelve-match ban from the Scottish Football Association was later overturned following a long appeal process. Bruised by the experience, he turned his back on Scotland’s national team and the media. Ferguson reaped the riches of the Sky era. He was a folk hero at Everton, where he spent ten years either side of an injury-hit spell at Newcastle United. Although the game made him a millionaire, he ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Charlese de Gaulla, díky němuž se Francie postavila po bok vítězných Spojenců. Richarda Nixona, který vyvedl USA z konfliktu ve Vietnamu a svou konstruktivní zahraniční politiku založil na rovnováze mezi velmocemi. Anvara Sádáta, jenž po čtvrtstoletí konfliktů přinesl na Blízký východ vizi míru. Li Kuang-jaa, který ze Singapuru vytvořil zajištěný, blahobytný a dobře řízený městský stát. A Margaret Thatcherové, jíž se podařilo obnovit hrdost a mezinárodní postavení Velké Británie. Všichni se zformovali v období, kdy se v Evropě hroutily zavedené instituce, koloniální struktury ustupovaly nezávislým státům v Asii a Africe a ze zbytků starého mezinárodního řádu bylo třeba vytvořit nový.

Alex Ferguson Můj příběh
Audiokniha na CD - autor Alex Ferguson, čte Ladislav Frej Ještě v dobách své hráčské kariéry přestoupil Ferguson (*1941) do Glasgow Rangers za tehdy nevídaných 65 000 liber. V roce 1974 již začal pracovat v managementu. Od roku 1986, kdy se stal trenérem Manchesteru United, získal s tímto týmem 38 trofejí (z toho 13 titulů za vítězství v lize). Díky tomu zde vydržel neuvěřitelných 26 let. V roce 1999 byl povýšen do šlechtického stavu. V roce 2013 se rozloučil s trenérskou kariérou opět titulem, ovšem pro "Man UTD" bude pracovat i nadále. Toto je jeho oficiální autobiografie, kde shrnuje svou úspěšnou kariéru a vzpomíná kromě jiného na hráče, které si do mužstva vybral a jimž pomohl k přestupům za nevídané částky (Ronaldo, Beckham, Rooney a mnoho dalších). Samozřejmě se nevyhýbá ani hodnocení svých rivalů mezi trenéry. Jeho jasný, srozumitelný a vtipný text vás určitě dostane. Čte Ladislav Frej
