British documentary filmmaker Asad Qureshi works in the world''s most dangerous places. When he set off to film secret interviews with Taliban commanders, the award-winning filmmaker found himself on the wrong end of the camera lens, with a gun at his temple and a price of 10 million US dollars on his head. Asad would spend 165 days in captivity before his family was able to pay his ransom and secure his release. The negotiations and eventual release were coordinated by Al Qaeda intermediaries. Throughout his time as a hostage, Qureshi was tortured and humiliated, as were his fellow prisoners, several of whom would not return. This is a true, first-person account of Taliban captivity in Waziristan, the dangerous border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Above all, it provides a stark reminder of the privilege of freedom.

And most important, is it worth sacrificing everything for the truth?Nabeel shares stories from his life and ministry, casts new light on current events, and explores pivotal incidents in the histories of both religions, providing a resource that is gripping and thought-provoking, respectful and challenging.Both Islam and Christianity teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus?

From an award-winning historian of race, science and empire, a path-breaking and poignant history of extinction as a scientific idea, an imperial legacy and a political choiceAnyone alive today is among a tiny fraction of the once living: over 90% of species that ever existed are now extinct. How did we come to think of ourselves as survivors in a world where species can vanish forever, or as capable of pushing our planet to the verge of a sixth mass extinction?Extinction, Sadiah Qureshi shows us, is a surprisingly modern concept – and a phenomenon that’s not as natural as we might think. In Europe until the late eighteenth century, species were considered perfect and unchanging creations of God. Then in the age of revolutions, scientists gathered enough fossil evidence to determine that mammoth bones, for example, were not just large elephants but a lost species that once roamed the Earth alongside ancient humans. Extinction went from being regarded as theologically dangerous to pervasive, and even inevitable.Yet Vanished shows us that extinction is more than a scientific idea; it’s a political choice that has led to devasting consequences. Europeans and Americans quickly used the notion that extinction was a natural process to justify persecution and genocide, predicting that nations from Newfoundland’s Beothuk to Aboriginal Australians were doomed to die out from imperial expansion.Exploring the tangled and unnatural histories of extinction and empire, Vanished weaves together pioneering original research and breath-taking storytelling to show us extinction is both an evolutionary process and a human act: one which illuminates our past, and may alter our future.

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

Audiokniha: „Gates předkládá vůbec nejsrozumitelnější vysvětlení toho, co je příčinou oteplování naší planety, jak měřit vliv myriády lidských činností na tento ohromující a zdánlivě nevypočitatelný problém, a konečně jak se s tím efektivně vypořádat. Je to nejužitečnější návod na řešení klimatické krize, který jsem kdy viděl.“ — Fortune O knize Nemusíte být klimatologové, abyste měli povědomí o oteplování planety a souvisejících jevech: o obdobích extrémních veder, bouří, stoupání hladiny moří, povodních, následných hladomorech a migračních vlnách. Bill Gates nás však vyzývá, že není na místě propadat strachu a bezmoci, ale naopak nahlížet na současný stav jako na příležitost postavit se pragmaticky výzvě a projít jako lidstvo další energetickou a technologickou revolucí. V knize vás seznámí s plánem snížit do roku 2050 emise skleníkových plynů ze současných 51 miliard tun ročně na nulu. Jde o velkolepý plán, ale nereálný. Gates jasně vysvětluje všechny zásadní aspekty problematiky – jednotlivé zdroje emisí, možné alternativy, technologie, které již existují, i slibné inovace, jež jsou teprve na obzoru. Nečekejte přitom výčitky ani zmar. I díky dlouholeté spolupráci s předními vědci, odborníky a politiky neztrácí Gates naději a přesvědčení, že společným úsilím klimatické katastrofě zabráníme. Mimo jiné se dozvíte: - Jaký je podíl jednotlivých odvětví lidské činnosti na emisích skleníkových plynů a že dopravě překvapivě náleží až čtvrtá příčka. - Proč musíme při vyčíslení skutečné efektivity zdrojů energie počítat s tzv. zelenými příplatky. - O vývoji báječných nových technologií včetně přímého zachytávání uhlíku ze vzduchu (DAC) nebo bezemisní výrobě cementu a plastů. - Jaké průlomy potřebujeme pro výrobu, transport a skladování elektřiny. - O krizových scénářích pro případ náhlého uvolnění metanu ze dna moří. - Jakou roli hrají v proměně klimatu krávy a mangrovové porosty. - Co přesně může pro svět udělat každý z nás a co naši volení zastupitelé a vlády. „Pokud se nevzdáme velkého cíle – dostat se na nulu – dokážeme katastrofu odvrátit. Můžeme zachovat únosné klima pro každého, pomoci stovkám milionů lidí žít hodnotný život a zachránit planetu pro příští generace.“ — Bill Gates Napsali o knize „Z přehledného vysvětlení vědeckých aspektů změny klimatu je patrná Gatesova odbornost. Řešení, která nastiňuje, jsou pragmatická a spočívají na prozíravém ekonomickém uvažování. Přestože se nevybývá tvrdým pravdám, kterým musíme při změnách klimatu čelit, zůstává Gates optimistou a věří, že máme možnost vyhnout se úplné klimatické katastrofě.“ — Science „Bill Gates má plán, jak zachránit svět. Přestože uznává, že jde o náročný úkol a že bude třeba zásadně změnit způsob výroby, pěstování, dopravy, klimatizace i vytápění, tvrdí, že je možné provést rozsáhlou transformaci a zároveň zachovat životní styl v zemích s vysokými příjmy a pokračovat v odstraňování chudoby miliard lidí.“ — Wired „Spojení chladného realismu s čísly podloženým optimismem je v knize o nejvážnějším problému lidstva tak osvěžující! Bill Gates důrazně připomíná, že pokud se skutečně chceme pustit do řešení krize, musíme maximálně využít jediný přírodní zdroj, jenž máme k dispozici v neomezeném množství – génia lidského ducha.“ — The Economist O autorovi Bill Gates (* 1955) je technolog, byznysový lídr a filantrop. V roce 1975 se svým kamarádem z dětství Paulem Allenem založil společnost Microsoft. Zároveň je spoluzakladatelem a předsedou Nadace Billa a Melindy Gatesových. Jeho projekt Breaktrough Energy se věnuje zavádění čisté energie a používání technologií, které neovlivňují změnu klimatu. Je otcem tří dětí.

How games create beauty and meaning, and how we can use them to explore the aesthetics of thought.Are games art? This question is a dominant mode of thinking about games and play in the twenty-first century, but it is fundamentally the wrong question. Instead, Frank Lantz proposes in his provocative new book, The Beauty of Games, that we think about games and how they create meaning through the lens of the aesthetic. We should think of games, he writes, the same way we think of literature, theater, or music—as a form that ranges from deep and profound to easy and disposable, and everything in between. Games are the aesthetic form of interactive systems, a set of possibilities connected by rules of cause and effect. In this book, Lantz analyzes games from chess to poker to tennis to understand how games create beauty and evoke a deeper meaning. He suggests that we think of games not only as hyper-modern objects but also as forms within the ancient context of artistic production, encompassing all of the nebulous and ephemeral qualities of the aesthetic experience.

Audiokniha: Důkladná investigace Nadace Billa a Melindy Gatesových, která odhaluje, jak Bill Gates využívá filantropii k uplatňování politické moci bez odpovědnosti. Bill Gates se díky svým filantropickým aktivitám proměnil z technologického padoucha v jednoho z nejobdivovanějších lidí na světě. I když nedávné rozvodové řízení a četná obvinění z nevhodného chování poskvrnily jeho veřejný obraz, jen málokdo zpochybňuje dobročinnost jeho nadace, bezmezně obdivované za to, jak vynakládá miliardy dolarů na zachraňování životů chudých obyvatel naší planety. Jak ale Tim Schwab ve své odvážné investigaci ukazuje, Gates je stále tím, čím býval: monopolistou přesvědčeným o své neomylnosti a odhodlaným vnucovat všem ostatním své představy, svá řešení a své vůdcovství. Žádný nezištný filantrop, nýbrž obchodník s mocí, chytrý inovátor, jenž dokázal proměnit extrémní bohatství v obrovský politický vliv a přesvědčit mnoho lidí k tomu, aby jeho činy velebili, nikoli zpochybňovali. Audiokniha Tima Schwaba nabourává oslnivou aureolu, která až příliš dlouho chránila nejmocnější charitativní organizaci světa před dohledem veřejnosti, a ukazuje, jak si Bill Gates za své miliardy koupil ohromující kontrolu nad veřejnou politikou, soukromými trhy, vědeckým výzkumem a zpravodajskými médii. Tim Schwab je investigativní novinář sídlící ve Washingtonu, DC. Za své průlomové reportáže o Nadaci Billa a Melindy Gatesových pro časopisy Nation, Columbia Journalism Review a British Medical Journal získal ocenění Izzy Award a Deadline Club Award. Bill Gates.

Audiokniha: Zasvěcená fakta a lidské příběhyBývalý zahraniční zpravodaj České televize na Blízkém východě srozumitelně popisuje složitou a bolestnou historii Gazy. Odpovídá i na otázku, proč mezi jejími obyvateli a Židy panuje tak silná nenávist.Označení „pásmo Gazy“ slyšel každý. Málokdo ale ví, co přesně to znamená. Jak Gaza vznikla, kdo jsou její obyvatelé a proč mezi nimi a Židy panuje taková nenávist? Chcete-li znát odpovědi na tyto otázky, má je pro vás Jakub Szántó připraveny. Zpravodaj České televize navštěvoval Gazu více než deset let, může proto zasvěceně, ale především srozumitelně popsal složitou a bolestnou historii Gazy. „Odolnost a vzdor má Gaza v kulturní a historické DNA.

Faktografické kapitoly střídají ty, v nichž nás seznamuje s konkrétními obyvateli Gazy, jejich životy, zálibami i oblíbenými jídly (a to tak barvitě, jako byste s nimi stolovali).

James Lovelock''s bestselling The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth is Fighting Back - and How we can Still Save Humanity is a dire warning against the unchecked growth of civilization. ''Despite all our efforts to retreat sustainably, we may be unable to prevent a global decline into a chaotic world ruled by brutal warlords on a devastated Earth...'' For thousands of years, humans have exploited the planet without counting the cost. Now Gaia, the living Earth, is fighting back. As the polar icecaps shrink and the global temperature rises, we approach the point of no return. Sustainable development, Lovelock argues, is no longer possible, and the only open to us may be a ''sustainable retreat''. This is the one book you must read to find out what is happening, how bad it will get - and how we can survive. ''The most important book for decades'' Andrew Marr ''The most important book ever to be published on the environmental crisis ... Lovelock will go down in history as the scientist who changed our view of the Earth'' John Gray, Independent ''Truly terrifying ... Lovelock''s arguments carry more conviction than anyone else''s now writing'' Peter Forbes, Daily Mail James Lovelock is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory). He has written several books on the subject, including Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, The Ages of Gaia and The Vanishing Face of Gaia as well as an autobiography, Homage to Gaia. In September 2005 Prospect magazine named him as one of the world''s top 100 global public intellectuals.

‘A dopamine hit on every page’ Marcus du SautoyA sweeping intellectual history of games and their importance to human progress. We play games to learn about the world, to understand our minds and the minds of others, and to practice making predictions about the future. Games are thought to be older than written language, and have now become the dominant cultural media—bigger than movies, TV, music, and literature combined. They are also fun. But as neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy argues, it’s time we started taking them more seriously. In Playing With Reality, she chronicles the riveting and hidden history of games since the Enlightenment, weaving an unexpected path through military theory, biology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and the future of democracy. Games, Clancy shows us, have been deeply intertwined with the arc of history. War games shaped the outcomes of real wars in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe. Game theory warped our understanding of human behaviour and brought us to the brink of annihilation—yet still underlies basic assumptions in economics, politics, and technology. We used games to teach computers how to learn for themselves, and now we are designing games that will determine the shape of society and future of democracy. Games also inform the basic systems that govern our daily lives: the social media and technology that can warp our preferences, polarise us, and manufacture our desires. Lucid, thought-provoking, and masterfully told, Playing With Reality makes the bold argument that the human fascination with games is the key to understanding our nature.

Beyond the headlines of destruction and despair, discover the untold story of Gaza''s humanity—its joys, resilience, and vibrant community spirit, as captured by a native son. Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza has plunged more than two million Palestinians into a ceaseless cycle of violence and deprivation. Despite the outrage that Israel’s aggression has fanned, two opposing tropes about those who inhabit the Strip endure. For the minority backing Israel’s actions, the Palestinians of Gaza are often seen as little more than terrorists. For many on the other side, they are perpetual victims, powerless and tragic. Each characterization dehumanizes Gaza’s people. In this book, Mohammed Omer Almoghayer, born and raised in southern Gaza, presents a necessary corrective: What the news reports have rarely shown are the ways in which, prior to Israel’s onslaught, the people of Gaza rose above their hardship to enjoy the simple pleasures of human existence. While in no way diminishing the horrors hurled at the Strip since October 7, or the prior suffering of those forced to live in what was effectively an open prison, Omer Almoghayer here tells that story. On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza takes the reader on a tour of a most misunderstood and hidden territory, allowing us to discover the community spirit, the enduring family ties, the festivals and pastimes, and the creativity and resourcefulness of people, who, in lives now tragically lost, refused to surrender to hopelessness, snatching moments of joy in the most difficult of circumstances. More than ever, it is vital that we recognize the humanity of people referred to by Israel’s defense minister as “animals,” and by news organizations around the world by bald numbers of nameless dead. With the sensitivity and insight available to a native Gazan, Mohammed Omer’s magnificent book parts the smoke and dust to show us the richness of a way of life Israel has now destroyed.

How animals conceive of death and dying—and what it can teach us about our own relationships with mortalityWhen the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today’s leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.

Johann Joachim Quantz''s On Playing the Flute has long been recognized as one of the primary sources of information about eighteenth-century performance practice. In spite of its title, it is not simply a tutor for the flute, but a fully-fledged programme for training musicians of all types, with detailed information on intonation, ornamentation, dynamics, the ''duties'' of the various accompanying performers, including the leader of the orchestra, and the principal forms and styles (French, Italian and German) of the time. Although Quantz is most often identified as the teacher of Frederick the Great, his musical roots were in Dresden, the most brilliant musical establishment in Germany; and his travels and studies in Italy, France and England gave him direct experience of most phases of European musical life in the 1720s and 30s. This reissue of the second edition provides a wonderfully complete and detailed picture of musical taste and performance practice in the 18th century, and includes a new introduction by Professor Reilly, drawing attention to recent research on Quantz. Whether you want to learn to play the flute and be taught by the teacher of Frederick the Great, or just to gain a first-hand insight into the history of classical music, On Playing the Flute is an essential and entertaining read.

Squeezed between the Negev and Sinai deserts on the one hand and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, Gaza was contested by the Pharaohs, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Fatimids, Mamluks, Crusaders and Ottomans. In 1917, the British Empire fought for months to conquer Gaza, before establishing its mandate for Palestine. In 1948, 200,000 Palestinians sought refuge in Gaza, a marginal area wanted by neither Israel nor Egypt. Palestinian nationalism grew there, and Gaza has since found itself at the heart of Palestinian history. Gaza is where the fedayeen movement arose from the ruins of Arab nationalism; where the 1967 Israeli occupation was repeatedly challenged, culminating in the 1987 intifada; where the dream of Palestinian statehood appeared shattered by the 2007 split between Fatah and Hamas; and from where, in 2023, history’s worst attack on Israel was launched, leading to the worst war ever waged against the Palestinians.Jean-Pierre Filiu’s book was the first comprehensive history of Gaza to be published in any language. This new, updated edition covers events since 2011, including Gaza’s renewed tragic centrality to world politics and security since October 2023.
