Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 - Yuval Noah Harari

NATIONAL BESTSELLERThis second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns.What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition.But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating ...

Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harari

„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.

Sapiens - Stručné dějiny lidstva - Yuval Noah Harari

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.

SAPIENS – STRUČNÉ DĚJINY LIDSTVA sleduje z dlouhodobé perspektivy revoluční zvraty na cestě lidského rodu od vzniku Homo sapiens až po současnost. Dramatický je příběh bezvýznamného lidoopa, který před dvěma miliony let někde v koutě Afriky získal vědomí, vyvraždil své přírodní bratrance a ovládl celou planetu.Základní životní parametry člověka jsou určeny biologicky, ale poskytují úžasný prostor. Ne biologie, ale kultura (kolektivní víra) je klíčem k pochopení dramatického rozvoje lidstva. Jen ona umožňuje spolupráci velkého počtu lidí, kteří se navzájem neznají.Po první, kognitivní revoluci před 70 000 lety následovaly další překvapivé zlomy v dějinách – objev zemědělství, peněz, společenské mytologie, imperiální společnosti, kapitalistického úvěru a víry v budoucnost, objev vědy, techniky i genetického inženýrství. Zdá se, že dějiny mají směr – vždyť obchod a kapitalismus, věda a technika, planetární komunikace i geopolitické vědomí spojily svět do globální vesnice."Proč se z knihy SAPIENS Yuvala Harariho okamžitě stal mezinárodní bestseller? Je to jednoduché: odpovídá na nejzásadnější otázky historie i moderního světa a čte se jedním dechem. Nemůžete se od ní odtrhnout!"

Homo deus - Yuval Noah Harari

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?

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.

Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World - Yuval Noah Harari

*From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.* We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story . . . Have you ever wondered how we got here?

The Muse of History - Oswyn Murray

How the modern world has understood the ancient Greeks and why they matter todayThe study of ancient Greek history has been central to the western conception of history since the Renaissance. The Muse of History traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in the last three centuries, in which each generation has reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary world, through times of revolution, conflicting ideologies and warfare. It aims to offer a new history of Greek historiography from the Enlightenment to the present, and to acknowledge the continuing spiritual importance of the ancient Greeks for European culture in the twentieth century under totalitarian persecutions. Through the study of different historians, many of them unjustly forgotten, it shows the problematic nature of the Anglo-Saxon tradition and the importance of ideas from the continent of Europe, the ambiguities of democracy, and the impossibility of understanding the past or the present outside our common European heritage. It ends by offering suggestions for the future of the study of the Greeks in the context of world history.

An Analysis of Francis Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man - Ian Jackson, Jason Xidias

Francis Fukuyama’s controversial 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man demonstrates an important aspect of creative thinking: the ability to generate hypotheses and create novel explanations for evidence. In the case of Fukuyama’s work, the central hypothesis and explanation he put forward were not, in fact, new, but they were novel in the academic and historical context of the time. Fukuyama’s central argument was that the end of the Cold War was a symptom of, and a vital waypoint in, a teleological progression of history. Interpreting history as “teleological” is to say that it is headed towards a final state, or end point: a state in which matters will reach an equilibrium in which things are as good as they can get. For Fukuyama, this would mean the end of “mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government”. This grand theory, which sought to explain the end of the Cold War through a single overarching hypothesis, made the novel step of resurrecting the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel’s theory of history – which had long been ignored by practical historians and political philosophers – and applying it to current ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Antisemitism and the Politics of History - Miron Guy, Scott Ury

This groundbreaking anthology addresses the history and challenges of using “antisemitism” and related terms as tools for historical analysis and public discourse. Drawing together seventeen chapters by prominent scholars from Europe, Israel, and the United States, the volume encourages readers to rethink assumptions regarding the nature and meaning of Jewish history and the history of relations between Jews and non-Jews. The book begins with a revised and updated version of David Engel’s seminal essay “Away from a Definition of Antisemitism.” Subsequent contributions by renowned specialists in ancient, medieval, and modern history, religious studies, and other fields explore the various and changing definitions and uses of the term “antisemitism” in a range of contexts, including ancient Rome and Greece, the Byzantine Empire, medieval Europe, early modern and modern Europe, North America, and the United Kingdom. The volume also includes a section that focuses on the Second World War, including the Holocaust and its memory. Engel offers a contemporary response to conclude the book.

The Climate of History in a Planetary Age - Dipesh Chakrabarty

For the past decade, historian Dipesh Chakrabarty has been one of the most influential scholars addressing the meaning of climate change. Climate change, he argues, upends long-standing ideas of history, modernity, and globalization. The burden of The Climate of History in a Planetary Age is to grapple with what this means and to confront humanities scholars with ideas they have been reluctant to reconsider—from the changed nature of human agency to a new acceptance of universals. Chakrabarty argues that we must see ourselves from two perspectives at once: the planetary and the global. This distinction is central to Chakrabarty’s work—the globe is a human-centric construction, while a planetary perspective intentionally decenters the human. Featuring wide-ranging excursions into historical and philosophical literatures, The Climate of History in a Planetary Age boldly considers how to frame the human condition in troubled times. As we open ourselves to the implications of the Anthropocene, few writers are as likely as Chakrabarty to shape our understanding of the best way forward.

The End of History and the Last Man - Francis Fukuyama

A LANDMARK WORK OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. A GLOBAL BESTSELLER. STILL AS RELEVANT TODAY. With the fall of Berlin Wall in 1989 the threat of the Cold War which had dominated the second half of the twentieth century vanished. And with it the West looked to the future with optimism but renewed uncertainty. The End of History and the Last Man was the first book to offer a picture of what the new century would look like. Boldly outlining the challenges and problems to face modern liberal democracies, Francis Fukuyama examined what had just happened and predicted what was coming next. Now updated with a new afterword, Fukuyama shows how the central issue today remains the same. Have any political and economic models arisen that could challenge liberal democracy as the best way of organizing human societies? He remains unconvinced. Tackling religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes and war, The End of History and the Last Man is as compelling today as it was when it was written - and just as provocative too.''Awesome . . . a landmark . . . profoundly realistic and important . . . supremely timely and cogent'' Washington Post ''Clearly written, immensely ambitious'' New ...

Putin and the Return of History - Martin Sixsmith

After the collapse of Soviet communism, the West convinced itself that liberal democracy would be the dominant system of governance. However, in February 2022, Vladimir Putin proved it is unwise to make such predictions. In the early years of Putin’s presidency, he appeared to commit himself to friendship with the West. But the Putin of those years is unrecognisable today - an autocratic nationalist, dedicated to repression at home and anti-Western militarism abroad. So, what happened? Was he lying when he proclaimed his support for freedom, democracy and friendship with the West? Or, was he sincere? Did he change his views at some stage between then and now? And if that is the case, what happened to change him? Putin and the Return of History examines these questions in the context of Russia’s thousand-year past, tracing the forces and the myths that have shaped Putin’s politics of aggression: the enduring terror of encirclement by outsiders, the subjugation of the individual to the cause of the state, the collectivist values that allow the sacrifice of human lives in battle, the willingness to lie and deceive, the co-opting of religion and the belief in Great Russia’s mission to change the world.
