A large and widening gap has opened between Western democracies international ambitions and their domestic political capacity to support them. On issues ranging from immigration and international trade to national security, new political parties on the left and the right are rejecting the core foreign policy principles that Western governments have championed for over half a century. Much of the debate over the weakening of the Western liberal order has focused on recent changes: Donald Trump s presidency, Britain s vote to leave the European Union, and the surge of nationalist sentiment in France, Germany, and other Western democracies. In Geopolitics and Democracy, Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation for the rise of anti-globalism in the West. Combining a novel theoretical framework and empirical strategy, Trubowitz and Burgoon show that support for globalism has been receding for 30 years in Western parties and legislatures. They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions that mainstream parties and party elites made after the end of the Cold War. These decisions sought to globalize markets and pool sovereignty at the supranational level while applying neoliberal reforms to social protections and guarantees at home--a combination of policies that succeeded in expanding the Western liberal order, but at the cost of mounting public discontent and political fragmentation. At a time when problems of great power rivalry, spheres of influence, and reactionary nationalism have returned, Geopolitics and Democracy reveals how domestic support for international engagement during the long East-West geopolitical contest was contingent upon social protections within Western democracies. In the absence of a renewed commitment to those social purposes, Western democracies will struggle to find a collective grand strategy that their domestic publics will support.

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London⠙s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujirō Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.

What does faith look like when cynicism seems more plausible?What does hope look like when hope seems irrational?What does love look like when hate becomes more popular?In recent years, author and activist Brian McLaren has sensed a widespread emotional shift among growing numbers of people. More and more friends, colleagues, students, and readers confess their sense of futility, their feelings of frustration bordering on despair. They feel that human civilization has passed certain tipping points and that a tide of doom is inexorably rising. This feeling creates a deep inner divide, a tension between a sincere and hopeful commitment to action for the common good on the one hand, and on the other, a feeling that no actions can prevent the arrival of an undesirable or even dystopian future.Life After Doom is a sober analysis of how things stand in relation to climate breakdown, and a deeply insightful exploration of the challenge of living well, maintaining resilience and growing in wisdom and love in the face of nations, ecosystems, economies, religions, and other institutions in disarray. Brian McLaren is the author of Faith After Doubt and Do I Stay Christian? and is a leading and authoritative voice at the intersection of religious faith and contemporary culture.

The diary and essays of Brian Eno republished twenty-five years on with a new introduction by the artist in a beautiful hardback edition. One of the seminal books about music . . . an invaluable insight into the mind and working practices of one of the industryâ ™s undeniable geniuses. GUARDIANAt the end of 1994, musician, producer and artist Brian Eno resolved to keep a diary. His plans to go to the cinema, theatre and galleries fell through quickly. What he did do â “ and write â “ however, was astonishing: ruminations on his collaborative work with artists including David Bowie, U2, James and Jah Wobble, interspersed with correspondence and essays dating back to 1978. These â ˜appendicesâ ™ covered topics from the generative and ambient music Eno pioneered to what he believed the role of an artist and their art to truly be, alongside razor-sharp commentary on his day-to-day tribulations and happenings around the world.A fascinating, candid and intimate insight into one of the most influential creative artists of our time, A Year with Swollen Appendices is an essential classic, reissued for a new generation of readers.This beautiful 25th anniversary paperback edition has been re-designed in A5, the same size as the diary that eventually became this book. It features two ribbons, pink paper delineating the appendices (matching the original hardback edition) and a two-tone cover that pays homage to the original design.

In Inflation Is About More Than Money, Brian Griffiths charts recent history and policy developments with regard to inflation. He sees inflation as a moral problem: a form of taxation and deceit that those in positions of authority should always seek to address.  Considering a range of theoretical approaches to inflation, he advances a pragmatic monetarist approach and offers a series of concrete recommendations for both dealing with inflation and protecting against it in the future. In addition, the author examines the cultural factors at play, such as disillusionment with democracy and social fragmentation. He argues for the importance of a shared moral framework, or sacred canopy , to underpin our collective purpose and provide a foundation for economic, social and political stability. Accessible and engaging, Inflation Is About More Than Money will appeal to those who are interested in questions of wealth and poverty, the role of central banks and politicians, responsible economic management, and the importance of moral values in economic and political life.

It s hard to fault as a brief, easily digestible introduction to some of the biggest questions in the Universe Giles Sparrow, BBC Four s The Sky at Night, Best astronomy and space books of 2019: 5/5All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced.Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That something is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets.By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteen times greater than all the visible material in existence.Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.

It wasn t me. I didn t do it. And I ll never do it again! says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC s legendary front man got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock n roll history.The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life.The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer.For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world s biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band s fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020 s smash hit album Power Up.It s been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian s kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots.Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice

Shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award 2019, Diary of a Somebody is a unique mix of poetry and diary by the unofficial Poet Laureate of Twitter, the enigmatic Brian Bilston. #39;If you like a) laughing or b) words which rhyme with each other, you will love Brian Bilston #39; - Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club‘Nobody must find out about this unique gem, because I’m giving it to EVERYONE, and I want to appear clever and discerning.’ – Dawn FrenchIt’s January 1st and Brian Bilston’s life needs to change.

When Toby goes missing, Brian is the number one suspect.Part tender love story, part suburban murder mystery, part scathing description of a wasted life, and interspersed with some of the funniest poems about the mundane and the profound, Diary of a Somebody is a unique, original and hilarious novel.‘Glorious. I will be astonished if I read a more original, more inventive or funnier novel this year.’ – Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt.

Audiokniha: Na Helikonii, planetě obíhající kolem binárních sluncí, trvá Velký rok dva tisíce šest set let pozemského času: lidská civilizace se vzmáhá zjara, vzkvétá během období léta a téměř zaniká s nástupem zimy, jež přetrvává po mnoho lidských generací. Právě přichází jaro a Helikonie se pomalu probouzí z předlouhého sevření mrazu. Kmeny rovníkového kontinentu vycházejí z úkrytů, v nichž zdecimovány na minimum přečkaly nepříznivé klima a opětovně začínají soupeřit o nadvládu nad planetou s divokými tvory chladu – fagory. A v jedné z vesnic, Oldorandu, znovu objevují řemesla, obchod, zemědělství, mince i nové rozměry mezilidských vztahů… Román Helikonie – Jaro je úvodním svazkem skvělé Helikonské trilogie, monumentální ságy, která svým měřítkem přesahuje všechno, co jeden z největších mistrů imaginace a žánru science fiction kdy napsal. ŽIVOTNÍ DÍLO VELMISTRA SCIENCE FICTION! Strhující epos o planetě trpící střídáním smrtelně nebezpečných extrémů. Staletí trvající zima odsoudí celé civilizace k záhubě. Do jara se probouzí svět nezatížený minulostí, a přesto jej čeká stejný osud… Vhání čtenáře střemhlav k úžasu. Trilogie, která disponuje monumentální noblesou. — THE TIMES Fantazie Briana Aldisse nezná hranic a staví jeho trilogii o planetě Helikonii vysoko nad běžnou sci-fi. Ba daleko za hranice žánru! — DAILY MAIL Brian Wilson Aldiss se narodil v roce 1925 v anglickém Norfolku. Během své dlouhé a úspěšné spisovatelské kariéry publikoval oceňované science fiction (dvě ceny Hugo, cena Nebula a John W. Campbell Memorial Award); bestsellery populární literatury, experimentální literaturu a mnoho dalších kultovních a průkopnických děl, včetně toho nejznámějšího – trilogie Helikonie. Vždy vyzýval mysl čtenářů k zamyšlení, a tak nikoho nemůže překvapit ekologický přesah jeho děl a zamyšlení nad důsledky klimatické změny dlouho před tím, než se staly tyto úvahy součástí mainstreamu. Připravil mnoho úspěšných antologií a je i autorem velkolepých dějin science fiction Billion Year Spree, později přepracovaných jako Trillion Year Spree. Českým čtenářům je znám z románů Skleník, Nonstop, Pokolení starců či Temné světelné roky. Z mnoha jeho povídek je zřejmě nejznámější Superhračky vydrží celé léto, kterou pro film adaptoval Stanley Kubrick a po Kubrickově smrti ji produkoval a režíroval Steven Spielberg pod názvem A.I. – Umělá inteligence. Brian Wilson Aldiss zemřel v roce 2017 ve věku 92 let. Filip Jančík (* 1974) je český herec, dabér i dabingový režisér. V 18 letech hrál ve filmu Záhada hlavolamu a o rok později ve filmu Vekslák aneb staré zlaté časy. Pracuje pro dabingové studio S-Pro Alfa. Daboval například postavu Codyho v seriálu Krok za krokem, Randyho Dishera v seriálu Můj přítel Monk nebo hlas psa Ftefana v reklamě na limonádu Kofola.

Dylanu Moranovi se jedné deštivé noci zhroutil svět: jeho auto pohltila rozvodněná řeka a pod hladinou zůstala jeho milovaná žena. Od té doby se Dylan utápí v žalu, zároveň však zažívá děsivé vize: kamkoli jde, pronásleduje ho on sám. Připisuje to prožitému traumatu, pak se však setká s psycholožkou, která mu tvrdí, že Dylan už delší dobu podstupuje speciální léčbu. Ta je založena na myšlence, že každá volba, kterou v životě učiní, stvoří nekonečné množství paralelních světů. V některých je Dylan šťastný. V jiných se stane vrahem.

Brian Freeman vyrostl v oblasti California Bay Area v San Mateo (Kalifornie). Navštěvoval Carleton College v Minnesotě, kde v roce 1984 absolvoval. Freeman začal psát v mladém věku. Jeho učitel na střední škole, který si všiml jeho lásky k řemeslu, ho povzbudil, aby seděl v rohu a psal svůj příběh, místo aby se řídil učebním plánem. Ve 13 letech dokončil svůj první román. Také rád čte. Lásku k detektivkám pravděpodobně zdědil po své babičce, která měla ráda detektivky. Před svou spisovatelskou kariérou, která začala ve věku 41 let, pracoval jako manažer databázových systémů, komunikační stratég a obchodní novinář v Minnesotě. Poté se stal ředitelem marketingu a vztahů s veřejností v mezinárodní advokátní kanceláři Faegre Benson v Minneapolis. Brian se tam oženil se svou manželkou Marcií a se svou rodinou se usadil v St. Paul v Minnesotě. David Matásek (*1963) Absolvent Pražské konzervatoře se před kamerou poprvé objevil ve filmu Jak svět přichází o básníky (1982), kde si zahrál budoucího filmaře Kendyho. V letech 1991–1995 působil v Národním divadle, v letech 1995–2002 v Divadle Komedie a od roku 2002 je opět členem činohry ND. Často se objevuje v televizních inscenacích i ve filmech, kromě šestidílné „básnické“ série Dušana Kleina např. ve snímcích Člověk proti zkáze (1989), Samotáři (2000), Počkej, až zhasnu (2002), Jedna ruka netleská (2003), Probudím se včera (2012), Tři bratři, Krásno, Hodinový manžel (vše 2014), Jak se zbavit nevěsty (2016) či v seriálech Dobrodružství kriminalistiky (1989), Zdivočelá země, Četnické humoresky (obojí 1997), Redakce (2004), Letiště (2006), Přešlapy (2009), České století (2013) nebo Polda (2017 - 2020).

Matematický kosmolog Brian Swimme se ve Skrytém srdci kosmu zamýšlí nad tím, jak dnešního člověka - a zvláště naše děti - vymanit z uvěznění, do nějž byli v moderní době uzavřeni úzce materialistickým pohledem na svět a konzumním způsobem života, a jak je otevřít novému kontaktu s vesmírem. Přesněji řečeno, jak nás znovu do vesmíru iniciovat. Taková iniciace není jen intelektuální záležitostí, nestačí pouze studovat vzrušující fakta a teorie nového kosmologického příběhu, ale je nezbytné tento nový příběh žít; což předpokládá proměnu navyklých vzorců našeho vnímání, hlubokou transformaci subjektivity. Brian Swimme v této souvislosti navrhuje různé způsoby, jak nové vědecké porozumění dynamickému evolučnímu vesmíru, které často vzdoruje naší přirozené intuici, integrovat do našeho vnímání a tělesného prožívání. Skryté srdce kosmu je velmi potřebný, hutný a přehledný úvod do nové kosmologie, která dramaticky transformuje naše porozumění vesmíru i porozumění povaze a osudu lidstva. Swimme zvláštním osvětlujícím způsobem zkoumá hluboká tajemství kosmu a má vzácný dar, jak integrovat vědu s vědomím posvátného. --- Steven Rockefeller, Middelbury College Brian Swimme, vynikající vědec, nám odhaluje v této knize zázrak a krásu a okouzlující vlastnosti světa kolem nás. Jen takový vesmír, vesmír odhalovaný takovým lyrickým jazykem, může naše duše zachránit, protože toto je prvotní odhalení samotného božství. --- Thomas Berry, autor The Dream of the Earth / Sen země Aniž by čtenáře zatěžoval technickými pojmy, Brian Swimme sděluje v této knize základní myšlenky moderní kosmologie a současně vyjadřuje vědomí naší sounáležitosti s kosmem. --- Fritjof Capra, autor Tao fyziky

Whether you want to make better decisions, improve your relationships or find more meaning in your work, harnessing your core values is the key to your future success, contentment and contribution. Have you ever heard a voice inside you whispering, There s got to be more than this ? Or simply felt some kind of disconnect between the life you lead and the life you want?That s a signal you re living out of alignment with your core values.In What Matters to You, psychologist Greta Bradman explains how our values impact the way we interpret, evaluate and respond to the world, whether we have insight into them or not. They re more than beacons that inspire; they re drivers that deeply affect us, even when we re out of alignment with them. Your values offer you a roadmap to making sense of what matters most to you. They can anchor and help explain your convictions and beliefs, and motivate actions with long-term benefits. Values also help make sense of the way we prioritise things differently when we feel threatened. In a nutshell, values help us understand our world and express ourselves with authenticity and courage.By helping us explore our core and threat-based values - why they re important to us, and how to use those core values in both the big and little decisions in day-to-day life - Greta Bradman teaches us to align more of our choices with our values, so we can grow into our own version of a life well lived.

In a world that continues to be riven by armed conflict, the fundamental moral and political questions raised by warfare are as important as ever. Under what circumstances are we justified in going to war? Can conflicts be waged in a â ˜moralâ ™ way? Is war an inevitable feature of a world driven by power politics? What are the new ethical challenges raised by new weapons and technology, from drones to swarming attack robots? This book is an engaging and up-to-date examination of these questions and more, penned by a foremost expert in the field. Using many historical cases, it examines all the core disputes and doctrines, ranging from realism to pacifism, from just war theory and international law, to feminism and the democratic peace thesis. Its scope stretches from the primordial causes and perennial drivers of war to the cyber-centric space-age future of armed conflict in the 21st century. War and Political Theory is essential reading for anyone, whether advanced expert or undergraduate, who wants to understand the pressing empirical realities and theoretical issues, historical and contemporary, associated with armed conflict.
