„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.

''Every witch uses her magic differently. I use mine to heal people, while others ...''''What do the others do!? Are there many different types of witches!?''''Oh yes! Many ...''Join Lindsay, a young and curious 19th-century lady, as she meets Biddy Early, the famous ''wise woman of County Clare'', and learns all about the magickal arts—from which plants can be used to make healing poultices and potions, to how people dealt with the social and political stigma of practicing witchcraft.Biddy Early, who lived from 1798–1874 in Ireland, was by no means the first-ever witch, but she was the first to appear on the historical record. Before her, fears and superstitions surrounding practitioners of ''the nameless art'' were too strong. 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. When her little corner of the county drew the attention of the Catholic Church and the local authorities, things became very difficult for this unusual woman…Encompassing self-empowerment, feminism, dealing with stigma, and eco-spirituality, as well as plant magic, traditions, and green wisdom, Witchcraft: A Graphic History is a fresh take on an endlessly fascinating subject.

''Queer: A Graphic History Could Totally Change the Way You Think About Sex and Gender'' ViceActivist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel.From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what''s ''normal'' - Alfred Kinsey''s view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler''s view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we''re invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media.Presented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.

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.

In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece The Hobbit includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that ‘grew in the telling', and many characters and plot threads in the published text are quite different from the story J.R.R. Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as one of their ‘fireside reads'. Together in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete text of the unpublished manuscript of The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. Recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, he examines - chapter by chapter - why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. As well as reproducing the original version of one of the world's most popular novels - both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings- this book includes many little-known illustrations and draft maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive commentaries on the dates of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Endorsed by Christopher Tolkien as a companion to his essential 12-volume The History of Middle-earth, this thoughtful and exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight any who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

It addresses core, continent-wide themes in African visual and cultural expression, from the life-cycle (motherhood, children, initiation, religion) to the body and representations of power dynamics. Important regional artistic expressions are also explored, such as the cultures of Mali (the Western Sudan), Nigeria (the lower Niger and Benue area), the Congo Basin and various nomadic populations across the continent. Written from an inclusive modern perspective, focusing not only on royal traditions but also the broader global history of the continent and its artistic practices, this is an excellent introduction for students, museum visitors and anyone with an interest in fine art, African history and cultural studies.

‘The best account in a single volume of Spain since 1898, exemplary for concision and for accuracy in the use of language, as well as for equanimity and generosity of spirit’ Felipe Fernández-Armesto, TLSA revelatory new history of Spain, from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first'Spain is different,' proclaimed the Franco regime in the 1940s, keen to attract foreign tourists. For the most part, the world has agreed. From the end of its 'glorious empire' in 1898 to the dazzling World Cup victory in 2010, the prevailing narrative of modern Spain has emphasized the country's peculiarity.Generations of historians and readers have been transfixed by its implosion into civil war in the 1930s, seduced by the valiant struggle of the republicans, horrified by the barbarity of the dictatorship which followed. Franco's Spain was seen as an anomaly in the midst of prosperous and permissive post-war Western Europe. But, as Nigel Townson shows in this richly layered and exciting new history, beyond the familiar image, there lies a radically different history of Spain: of a dynamic and progressive society that fits firmly into the narrative of modern Europe.Drawing on over forty years of post-Franco scholarship, The Penguin History of Modern Spain transforms our knowledge of Spain and its politics, society, economics and culture. It interweaves cutting-edge Spanish-led research - never before published in English - and testimonies of peasants, housewives, soldiers, workers, entrepreneurs, feminists and worker-priests, for an original and surprising portrait, which allows us, at last, to discern the country behind the veil of propaganda and romantic myths which still endure today

A short, highly directed guide to an area of science that is little understood but increasingly part of public discourse by the Sunday Times bestselling author of HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST * FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST *Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin's ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. Eugenics was vigorously embraced in dozens of countries. It was also a cornerstone of Nazi ideology, and forged a path that led directly to the gates of Auschwitz. But the underlying ideas are not merely historical. The legacy of eugenics persists in our language and literature, from the words 'moron' and 'imbecile' to the themes of some of our greatest works of culture. Today, with new gene editing techniques, very real conversations are happening - including in the heart of British government - about tinkering with the DNA of our unborn children, to make them smarter, fitter, stronger. CONTROL tells the story of attempts by the powerful throughout history to dictate reproduction and regulate the interface of breeding and society. It is an urgently needed examination that unpicks one of the defining and most destructive ideas of the twentieth century. To know this history is to inoculate ourselves against its being repeated.

The history of espionage is far older than any of today's intelligence agencies, yet the long history of intelligence operations has been largely forgotten. The first mention of espionage in world literature is in the Book of Exodus.'God sent out spies into the land of Canaan'. From there, Christopher Andrew traces the shift in the ancient world from divination to what we would recognize as attempts to gather real intelligence in the conduct of military operations, and considers how far ahead of the West - at that time - China and India were. He charts the development of intelligence and security operations and capacity through, amongst others, Renaissance Venice, Elizabethan England, Revolutionary America, Napoleonic France, right up to sophisticated modern activities of which he is the world's best-informed interpreter. What difference have security and intelligence operations made to course of history? Why have they so often forgotten by later practitioners? This fascinating book provides the answers.
