„Pred 100 000 rokmi obývalo Zem najmenej šesť ľudských druhov. Dnes je tu už len jeden. My. Homo sapiens.“ V knihe Sapiens: Stručná história ľudstva jej autor, nazývaný aj vizionársky historik, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari opisuje históriu človeka ako biologického druhu od prvých ľudí až po súčasnosť, ktorú výrazne ovplyvnili tri revolúcie - kognitívna, poľnohospodárska a vedecká revolúcia. Ako zvíťazil náš druh v boji o dominanciu? Prečo sa naši kočovní predkovia usadili a začali zakladať mestá a ríše? Ako sme dospeli k viere v bohov, národy a ľudské práva? A aký bude náš svet v ďalších tisícročiach? Vychádzajúc z poznatkov z histórie, biológie, antropológie, paleontológie a ekonómie Dr. Harari skúma, ako jednotlivé historické prúdy formovali ľudské spoločnosti - ich nažívanie v rámci spoločnosti, ale aj s prírodou, zvieratami a rastlinami - a dokonca aj ľudskú osobnosť. Sme vďaka tomu šťastnejší? Môžeme niekedy vôbec oslobodiť naše správanie od dedičstva našich predkov? A čo môžeme alebo by sme mali urobiť, aby sme ovplyvnili priebeh nasledujúcich storočí? Autor tak čitateľa núti zamyslieť sa aj nad blízkou či vzdialenejšou budúcnosťou, ktorú ovplyvňuje správanie človeka, vedecký pokrok a jeho snaha pozmeniť zákony prírody len pre svoje blaho. Kniha je vzrušujúcim zhrnutím našej neuveriteľnej histórie - od bezvýznamných opíc až k pánom sveta. Jej obsah je odvážny, obsiahly aj provokatívny. Spochybňuje všetko, čo sme o ľudstve zdanlivo vedeli: našu vieru, činy, moc... aj našu budúcnosť, a pritom sa zamýšľa a ozrejmuje najdôležitejšie otázky histórie a moderného sveta. Nestáva sa často, aby kniha dala čitateľom možnosť prehodnotiť prakticky všetko konanie človeka ako druhu. A presne to sa podarilo Hararimu v jeho zhrňujúcom, ale zrozumiteľnom pohľade na dejiny ľudstva. Harariho kniha Sapiens: Stručná história ľudstva sa stala medzinárodným bestsellerom a doteraz vyšla v tridsiatich piatich krajinách. Jej obsah je zaujímavý a často aj zábavný, je napísaná živým, prístupným jazykom a vlastný text dopĺňajú fotografie, mapy, schémy a ilustrácie.

Sapiens: Ilustrovaná história je revolučná – a okrem toho prudko zábavná – interpretácia príbehu ľudstva, plná vtipu, humoru, ale aj poučenia. Yuval Noah Harari, historik, filozof a autor bestsellerov, je považovaný za jedného z najvplyvnejších svetových intelektuálov. Doktorát z histórie získal na Oxfordskej univerzite a v súčasnosti prednáša históriu na Hebrejskej univerzite v Jeruzaleme. Kniha Sapiens: Stručná história ľudstva bola preložená do šesťdesiatich jazykov a stala sa medzinárodným bestsellerom – predalo sa z nej šestnásť miliónov výtlačkov. Harari je tiež autorom bestsellerov Homo Deus a 21 lekcií pre 21. storočie. Pri tejto adaptácii úspešnej knihy Sapiens: Stručná história ľudstva úzko spolupracoval s renomovanými komiksovými výtvarníkmi Danielom Casanavom a Davidom Vandermeulenom.

SAPIENS – Stručné dějiny lidstva je výjimečná kniha izraelského historika Yuvala Noaha Harariho, která vás provede 70 000 lety lidského vývoje – od kognitivní revoluce až po současnost.Proč přežil právě homo sapiens, zatímco ostatní lidské druhy vymřely? Co z nás udělalo bytosti schopné měnit klima, upravovat geny a snít o nesmrtelnosti? A proč, navzdory moci a technologickému pokroku, nejsme o nic šťastnější než naši předkové?Harari zkoumá klíčové procesy, které formovaly naši civilizaci, a nabízí překvapivou perspektivu: člověk ovládl svět nikoli silou, ale schopností sdílet příběhy a věřit mýtům – o bozích, národech, penězích i lidských právech.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: Písmo vzniklo primárně pro potřeby účetnictví, ne pro poezii či filozofii. Zemědělská revoluce přinesla horší stravu, více dřiny a úzkostí, nikoli pohodlnější život. Náboženskou víru nedokázal významně ohrozit ani nástup vědy. Peníze jsou nejuniverzálnějším systémem důvěry, jaký kdy lidstvo vytvořilo. Schopnost učit se a měnit je jediným skutečným tajemstvím úspěchu rodu sapiens. Vydejte se na fascinující cestu dějinami, která změní váš pohled na lidstvo, společnost i sebe sama.

Audiokniha: Príbeh o tom, ako informačné siete budujú aj rúcajú náš svet.Za posledných 100 000 rokov sme my, druh Homo sapiens, nahromadili obrovskú moc. Ale napriek všetkým svojim objavom, vynálezom a víťazstvám stojíme na prahu existenčnej krízy. Svet je na pokraji ekologického kolapsu. Medzinárodné a politické napätie stúpa, zatiaľ čo my sa bezhlavo rútime do éry AI – cudzej informačnej siete, ktorá nás môže zničiť. Popritom všetkom, čo sme dosiahli, vzniká otázka, prečo sme takí sebadeštruktívni. Nexus mapuje dlhú históriu ľudstva a uvažuje, ako sme sa ocitli v tomto toku informácií. Yuval Noah Harari nás sprevádza od doby kamennej cez kanonizáciu Biblie, vynález tlače, vzostup masmédií a nedávne oživenie populizmu. Žiada nás, aby sme sa zamysleli nad zložitým vzťahom medzi informáciami a pravdou, byrokraciou a mytológiou, múdrosťou a mocou.Zamýšľa sa, ako pomocou informácií dosahovali svoje ciele systémy ako Rímska ríša, katolícka cirkev či Sovietsky zväz, či už v dobrom alebo zlom. Zaoberá sa naliehavými rozhodnutiami, pred ktorými stojíme, keď našu existenciu ohrozuje iná ako ľudská inteligencia.Informácie nie sú základnou surovinou pravdy, a nie sú ani obyčajnou zbraňou. Nexus skúma nádejnú zlatú strednú cestu medzi týmito extrémami a popritom znovu objavuje našu ľudskosť. Príbehy nás spojili. Knihy šírili naše myšlienky – aj mytológie. Internet nám sľúbil nekonečné poznanie. Algoritmus spoznal naše tajomstvá – a potom nás poštval proti sebe. Čo s nami urobí umelá inteligencia?História nie je štúdiom minulosti; je to štúdium zmeny. História nás učí, čo zostáva rovnaké, čo sa mení a ako sa veci menia.Tendencia vytvárať silné veci s nezamýšľanými následkami sa nezačala s vynálezom parného stroja alebo AI, ale s vynálezom náboženstva.Keď občania nedokážu spolu navzájom komunikovať a považujú sa navzájom za nepriateľov namiesto politických rivalov, demokracia je neudržateľná.Prečo sa nám tak darí hromadiť informácie aj moc, ale oveľa menej dosiahnuť múdrosť?Demokracie zomierajú nielen vtedy, keď ľudia nemôžu slobodne hovoriť, ale aj vtedy, keď nie sú ochotní alebo schopní počúvať.Je pravda, že medzi najhoršími príslušníkmi nášho druhu vládne chamtivosť a krutosť, ktoré zlých jednotlivcov vedú k zneužívaniu moci. Ale prečo ľudské spoločnosti zverujú moc svojim najhorším predstaviteľom? Väčšina Nemcov v roku 1933 predsa neboli psychopati. Tak prečo volili Hitlera?Namiesto smerovania k pokroku je história ľudských informačných sietí chôdzou po lane, ktorá sa snaží nájsť rovnováhu medzi pravdou a poriadkom.Povedali o titule„Užitočná, dobre podložená príručka... múdra a odvážna.“ – The New York Times„Strhujúce… Diagnóza a výzva k činu.“ — Guardian„Harariho rozprávanie je pútavé a pozoruhodne originálne.“ – The Economist„Vízia rýchlo sa blížiacej budúcnosti, ktorá je (zároveň) vzrušujúca a mrazivá.“ – Stephen Fry Táto veľmi dôležitá kniha prichádza v kritickom čase, keď všetci premýšľame o dôsledkoch AI a automatizovanej produkcie obsahu...Majstrovské a provokatívne. —Mustafa Suleyman, autor knihy Nezadržitelná vlna V konfrontácii s lavínou kníh o vyhliadkach AI by čitatelia mali začať s touto. —Kirkus Reviews

Vo svojom kritikmi uznávanom medzinárodnom bestselleri, Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari vysvetlil, ako sa ľudstvu podarilo ovládnuť planétu. V knihe Homo Deus skúma budúcnosť ľudstva a ponúka víziu zajtrajška, ktorá sa zdá byť nezrozumiteľná, ale časom sa stane neodvratná: ľudstvo stratí nielen svoju dominanciu, ale aj samotný zmysel.Za posledné storočie sa ľudstvu podarilo nemožné: premeniť nekontrolovateľné sily prírody - hladomor, epidémie a vojny - na zvládnuteľné výzvy. Dnes zomiera viac ľudí na prejedanie ako na hladomor, viac ľudí zomiera na starobu ako na infekčné choroby a samovraždu spácha viac ľudí, ako stihnú zabiť vojaci, teroristi a zločinci dohromady. Sme jediným druhom v dlhej histórii Zeme, ktorému sa samotnému podarilo zmeniť celú planétu, a už sme prestali očakávať, že by naše osudy mohla formovať nejaká vyššia sila.Čo nahradí hladomor, epidémie a vojny na prvých miestach ľudského snaženia? Aký osud si pripravíme a aké ciele budeme sledovať? Homo Deus skúma projekty, sny a nočné mory, ktoré budú formovať dvadsiate prvé storočie, od prekonania smrti po vytvorenie umelého života. Lenže pri dosahovaní týchto cieľov môže nakoniec väčšina ľudských bytostí stratiť svoj zmysel. Čo budeme robiť potom? A ako ochránime tento krehký svet pred svojimi vlastnými ničivými silami? Nemôžeme zastaviť chod histórie, ale môžeme ovplyvniť jej smerovanie.Predvídanie budúcnosti obvykle predpokladá, že zajtrajšok bude v podstate veľmi podobný dnešku - že budeme mať úžasné nové technológie, ale stále nás budú usmerňovať staré dobré humanistické hodnoty ako sloboda a rovnosť. Homo Deus tieto predpoklady rúca a naznačuje širokú škálu alternatívnych možností, s provokatívnymi argumentmi na každej strane. Napríklad: Hlavné produkty ekonomiky dvadsiateho prvého storočia nebudú textílie, autá ani zbrane, ale telá, mozgy a mysle. Priemyselná revolúcia vytvorila pracujúcu triedu, ďalšia veľká revolúcia vytvorí zbytočnú triedu. Spôsob, akým my ľudia zaobchádzame so zvieratami, nastavuje zrkadlo, ako budú vylepšení superľudia zaobchádzať s nami. Demokracia a voľný trh sa zrútia, keď nás Google a Facebook budú poznať lepšie ako my sami, a autorita sa presunie z jednotlivých ľudí na zosieťované algoritmy. Ľudia nebudú proti strojom bojovať - splynú s nimi. Smerujeme skôr k manželstvu ako vojne.Takto vyzerá nový svet a priepasť medzi tými, ktorí naskočia na palubu, a tými, ktorí sa neprispôsobia, bude väčšia ako priepasť medzi priemyselnými impériami a agrárnymi kmeňmi, dokonca väčšia aj ako medzi Homo sapiens a neandertálcami. Toto je ďalšia fáza evolúcie. Toto je Homo deus.

Zlatou niťou, ktorá sa vinie jeho novou vzrušujúcou knihou, je výzva, aby sme venovali kolektívnu aj individuálnu pozornosť neustálej a dezorientujúcej zmene.

The story of how information networks have made, and unmade, our world from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Sapiens.For the last 100,000 years, humans have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse.Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI - a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. If we are so wise, why are we so self-destructive?NEXUS considers how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.Taking us from the Stone Age through the Bible, early modern witch-hunts, Stalinism, Nazism and the resurgence of populism today, Yuval Noah Harari asks us to consider the complex relationship between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power. He explores how different societies and political systems have wielded information to achieve their goals, for good and ill. And he addresses the urgent choices we face as non-human intelligence threatens our very existence.Information is not the raw material of truth; neither is it a mere weapon.NEXUS explores the hopeful middle ground between these extremes, and of rediscovering our shared humanity.

How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we are.Indeed, the only reason humans don t lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes.

Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God s people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church.FEATURES:Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries.Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined.Insights into the church s relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians.Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church.Details on the major theological controversies of the periods.Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible.AUTHOR S PERSPECTIVE:Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It s a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It s a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling.From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God s people.

It is said that Biddy took an apprenticeship with the good folk , sidhe or faeries, when she was very young, and it was from them that she learned her skill as a healer.Never one to accept monetary payment for the help she offered, Biddy would often swap home-brewed alcohol for her services, which in turn, made her ramshackle cottage in Feakle a hub for the local community.

Graphic design has a paradoxical relationship to history. While it claims to promote originality and innovation - ideas that emphasize the new and unique - design practice is deeply embedded in previous ideals. Too often, design students encounter the past in brief visual impressions which seduce them to imitate form rather than engage with historical contexts. Even though it has claimed to be objective and even comprehensive, graphic design history has focused largely on individual careers and Eurocentric achievements.Yet the past swells with untapped potential. Graphic design history can serve the field of today and tomorrow, but its narratives require updates. History, like design, is always changing â ” and like design, history is driven by present-day questions. This book shows how students and practicing designers can enrich their work by thinking historically about design. With thoughtful analyses, stimulating creative prompts, inspiring case studies, and perspectives from designers all over the world, this book challenges our traditional understanding of graphic design history, and the very notion of the design canon, offering ways to shape socially engaged, critical practices.
