''It made me rethink the roots of our deepest fears and insecurities, and why we often disappoint ourselves in how we manifest them'' Bill Clinton, GuardianWinner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life''s work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker''s brilliant and impassioned answer to the ''why'' of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - man''s refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. The book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our ''immortality project'' resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning.In The Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.

I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal.But where was I now?I looked around this small room, at the tired faces. I looked at the walls and the small windows. Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in.

For more than thirty years, Writing for Social Scientists has been a lifeboat for writers in all fields, from beginning students to published authors. It starts with a powerful reassurance: Academic writing is stressful, and even accomplished scholars like sociologist Howard S. Becker struggle with it. And it provides a clear solution: In order to learn how to write, take a deep breath and then begin writing. Revise. Repeat. This is not a book about sociological writing. Instead, Becker applies his sociologist's eye to some of the common problems all academic writers face, including trying to get it right the first time, failing, and therefore not writing at all; getting caught up in the trappings of "proper" academic writing; writing to impress rather than communicate with readers; and struggling with the when and how of citations. He then offers concrete advice, based on his own experiences and those of his students and colleagues, for overcoming these obstacles and gaining confidence as a writer. While the underlying challenges of writing have remained the same since the book first appeared, the context in which academic writers work has changed dramatically, thanks to rapid changes in technology and ever greater institutional pressures.

The contested creation of free movement—for people and goods—in the Schengen area of EuropeEurope is a place of free movement among nations—or is it? The Schengen area, established in 1985 and today encompassing twenty-nine European countries, allows people, goods, and capital to cross borders without restraint. Schengen transformed European life, advancing both a democratic project of transnational citizenship and a neoliberal project of international free trade. But the right of free movement always excluded non-Europeans, especially migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen states. In Europe without Borders, Isaac Stanley-Becker explores the contested creation of free movement in Schengen, from treatymaking at European summits and disputes in international courts to the street protests of undocumented immigrants who claimed free movement as a human right. Schengen laid the groundwork for the making of a single market and the founding of the European Union. Yet its emergence is one of the great untold stories of modern European history, one hidden in archives long embargoed. Stanley-Becker is among the first to have access to records of the treatymaking—such as letters between France’s François Mitterrand and West Germany’s Helmut Kohl—and Europe without Borders offers a pathbreaking account of Schengen’s creation.

In March 2015, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn awoke from a sound sleep into a nightmare. Armed men bound and drugged them, then abducted Denise. Warned not to call the police or Denise would be killed. Aaron agonized about what to do. Finally he put his trust in law enforcement and dialed 911. But instead of searching for Denise, the police accused Aaron of her murder. His story, they told him, was just unbelievable. When Denise was released alive, the police turned their fire on her, dubbing her the “real-life ‘Gone Girl’” who had faked her own kidnapping. In Victim F, Aaron and Denise recount the horrific ordeal that almost cost them everything. Like too many victims of sexual violence, they were dismissed, disbelieved, and dragged through the mud. With no one to rely on except each other, they took on the victim blaming, harassment, misogyny, and abuse of power running rife in the criminal justice system. Their story is, in the end, a love story, but one that sheds necessary light on sexual assault and the abuse by law enforcement that all too frequently compounds crime victims’ suffering.

Většina z nás si uvědomuje, že se obklopujeme příliš mnoha věcmi. Doléhá na nás tíha našeho nepořádku a jsme unavení neustálým uklízením a organizováním. Ačkoliv nadměrná spotřeba vede k větším domům, rychlejším autům, dokonalejším technologiím a zaplněným domovům, nikdy nepřináší štěstí. Spíše končí touhou mít ještě víc, což však přesměruje naše soustředění k věcem, kterých třeba nikdy nedosáhneme. Odvádí nás to od skutečného života, který si přejeme žít. Joshua Becker vám ve své knize Méně je více pomůže najít výhody v minimalistickém způsobu života a uvědomit si, jak vás všechny věci, které vlastníte, odvádí od následování vašich snů.

V této knize se dozvíte, jak je možné v několika krocích odhalit příčinu konkrétního psychologického problému a vyvolat radikální změnu k pozitivnímu. Kam se upírá naše pozornost, tam proudí i naše energie - a stává se realitou. Nicméně, pozornost mnoha lidí je uvězněna v pasti: v destruktivních myšlenkových vzorcích, přesvědčeních a nevyléčených vnitřních konfliktech. Tyto stavy jsou pro většinu lidí zcela "normální"; mnozí si ani neuvědomují, co se s nimi děje. Metoda Přímé komunikace s nevědomím je účinný návod, jak získat zpět svoji pozornost a začít žít jako svobodná bytost. Můžete díky ní pomoci jednak sobě, jednak druhým lidem. Friedbert Becker představuje v knize praktické a srozumitelné návody, jak lze komunikovat s inteligentními částmi nevědomí - ať již toho vašeho, nebo jiného člověka. Lidská duše ví nejlépe sama, co se musí odehrát, aby se vyléčily a rozpustily traumatické zážitky, nutkavé stavy, strachy či jiné disharmonie. Stačí nevědomí pokládat správné otázky a pak učinit vše, co nám sdělí, aby se začaly dít zázraky.

Emmy Noether is not pretty, quiet, good at housework or eager to marry - all the things a German girl is expected to be in her time. What she is, though, is a genius at maths. Bestselling and award-winning author Helaine Becker has crafted an engaging look at the life of Emmy Noether, a contemporary of Einstein''s and one of the most influential, though little known, mathematicians of the twentieth century.

''Disconcerting . . . a disturbing and important book'' NEW SCIENTIST''Smart and wonderfully readable'' NEW YORK TIMESThe bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley''s foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.
