Shadow Empires - Thomas J. Barfield
An original study of empire creation and its consequences, from ancient through early modern timesThe worldâ ™s first great empires established by the ancient Persians, Chinese, and Romans are well known, but not the empires that emerged on their margins in response to them over the course of 2,500 years. These counterempires or shadow empires, which changed the course of history, include the imperial nomad confederacies that arose in Mongolia and extorted resources from China rather than attempting to conquer it, as well as maritime empires such as ancient Athens that controlled trade without seeking territorial hegemony. In Shadow Empires, Thomas Barfield identifies six kinds of counterempire and explores their rise, politics, economics, and longevity. What all these counterempires had in common was their interactions with existing empires that created the conditions for their development. When highly successful, these counterempires left the shadows to become the worldâ ™s largest empiresâ ”for example, those of the medieval Muslim Arabs and of the Mongol heirs of Chinggis Khan. Three former shadow empiresâ ”Manchu Qing China, Tsarist Russia, and British Indiaâ ”made this transformation in the late eighteenth century and came to rule most of Eurasia. However, the DNA of their origins endured in their unique ruling strategies. Indeed, world powers still use these strategies today, long after their roots in shadow empires have been forgotten. Looking afresh at the histories of important types of empires that are often ignored, Shadow Empires provides an original account of empire formation from the ancient world to the early modern period.

Atlas of Empires tells the story of how and why the great empires of history came into being, operated and ultimately declined, and discusses the future of the empire in today s globalized world. Featuring 60 beautiful and detailed maps of the empires territories at different stages of their existence and organized thematically to reflect the different driving forces behind empires throughout history (such as faith, nomadic culture, nationhood and capitalism), each section discusses the rise and fall of the empires that existed in a region: their government and society, wealth and technology, war and military force, and religious beliefs. From the earliest empires of the Sumerians and the Pharaohs to the modern empires of the USSR and the European Union, this is a story that reveals how empires are created and organized, how later empires resolve the problems of governance faced by earlier empires, and how the political and cultural legacies of ancient empires are still felt today.

Záchrana jevů - Owen Barfield
Owen Barfield (1898-1997), básník, sémiotik a epistemolog, se v této knize obírá evolucí člověka v posledních třech tisíciletích: jak se proměňovala jeho participace na projevech přírody, jak se vyvíjela spiritualita, vědomí, racionalita, odpovědnost ke světu. Svůj výklad podporuje doklady z antropologie, archeologie, výklady svatých i profánních textů, a hlavně vždy a znovu fundovanými vhledy do jazyka a jeho proměn. Přítel a dlouholetý spolupracovník J. R. R. Tolkiena a S. C. Lewise: spolu odkrývali prahnutí lidské bytosti a lidských společenství po významu světa, který se skrze jazyk dává prostřednictvím mýtů, křesťanství a jiných náboženství, vědy a humanitních nauk. Barfield líčí svůj pohled na evoluci, na rozpoznávání jevů kolem nás, na procesy, které dovolují přisuzovat světu význam. Smyslové vjemy a jejich zpracování samozřejmě - ale ještě větší podíl mají paměť jedince i kultury, tradice, a jazykové dědictví. V těchto proměnlivých kulisách se nám svět nějak dává, pokaždé jinak. Kniha se soustřeďuje na dvě zásadní témata. V první řadě jde o to, jak se postavit k těm stránkám světa, které se z principu nemohou člověku nikdy jevit - zejména jde o mikrosvět a tu část minulosti, kdy člověk ještě nebyl. Ještě důležitějším tématem je však výzva pro současnost: autor načrtává nový druh participace na světě poté, co byla stará smlouva s přírodou postupně rušena.

Básnická řeč - Owen Barfield
Jen stěží lze najít českého čtenáře, který by neznal Pána prstenů nebo Letopisy Narnie. Jméno Owena Barfielda, bez něhož by tato díla pravděpodobně nebyla nikdy vznikla, je však v českém prostředí téměř neznámé. Přitom to byl právě Barfield, kdo rozhodující měrou přispěl ke zformování volného filosoficko-literárního sdružení Inklings, k němuž od počátku náležel jeho celoživotní přítel C. S. Lewis a později též J. R. R. Tolkien. Právě Barfieldova pohádka Stříbrná trubka přivedla Tolkiena k tomu, aby se pokusil psát příběhy pro děti, a Básnická řeč ho vyzbrojila pohledem, který mu pomohl oslovit novou mýtotvorbou celý svět. C. S. Lewis označil Barfielda za nejlepšího a nejmoudřejšího ze svých neoficiálních učitelů a své Letopisy Narnie věnoval Barfieldově dceři Lucy, která ho inspirovala k postavě hlavní hrdinky.V Básnické řeči dostává český čtenář do ruky knihu, jež zahájila epochu nové literární fantazie, epochu nového hledání celistvosti, která by obsáhla vědu i víru, zachytila věcnou dovednost i uměleckou tvorbu, nasytila rozum i srdce. Slova Howarda Nemerova, nositele Pulitzerovy ceny za poezii a několika dalších prestižních literárních ocenění, který označuje Básnickou řeč za posvátnou knihu své básnické generace, nejsou nadsazená. Máme dost zajímavých autorů, ale Owen Barfield se nespokojuje s tím, že je zajímavý, říká Saul Bellow, nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu: Jeho předsevzetím je pomoci nám na svobodu.

Why Empires Fall - Peter Heather, John Rapley
What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the West today? A historian and a political economist, both experts in their field, investigate Over the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline.This is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.In this exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences - between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires, they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction. The era of western global domination has reached its end - so what comes next?

Digital Empires - Bradford Anu
Financial Times Best Books of 2023 in EconomicsThe global battle among the three dominant digital powersâ ”the United States, China, and the European Unionâ ”is intensifying. All three regimes are racing to regulate tech companies, with each advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. In Digital Empires, her provocative follow-up to The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come.Across the globe, people dependent on digital technologies have become increasingly alarmed that their rapid adoption and transformation have ushered in an exceedingly concentrated economy where a few powerful companies control vast economic wealth and political power, undermine data privacy, and widen the gap between economic winners and losers. In response, world leaders are variously embracing the idea of reining in the most dominant tech companies. Bradford examines three competing regulatory approachesâ ”the American market-driven model, the Chinese state-driven model, and the European rights-driven regulatory modelâ ”and discusses how governments and tech companies navigate the inevitable conflicts that arise when these regulatory approaches collide in the international domain. Which digital empire will prevail in the contest for global influence remains an open question, yet their contrasting strategies are increasingly clear.Digital societies are at an inflection point. In the midst of these unfolding regulatory battles, governments, tech companies, and digital citizens are making important choices that will shape the future ethos of the digital society. Digital Empires lays bare the choices we face as societies and individuals, explains the forces that shape those choices, and illuminates the immense stakes involved for everyone who uses digital technologies.

Empires of the Steppes - Kenneth W. Harl
The barbarian nomads of the Eurasian steppes played a decisive role in world history, but their achievements have gone largely unnoticed. These tribes produced some of the world’s greatest conquerors: Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, among others.And their deeds still resonate today. Indeed, these nomads built long-lasting empires, facilitated the first global trade of the Silk Road and disseminated religions, technology, knowledge and goods of every description that enriched and changed the lives of so many across Europe, China and the Middle East. From a single region emerged a great many peoples – the Huns, the Mongols, the Magyars, the Turks, the Xiongnu, the Scythians, the Goths – all of whom went on to profoundly and irrevocably shape the modern world.In this enthralling new history, Professor Kenneth W. Harl draws on a lifetime of scholarship to vividly recreate the lives of these peoples from their beginnings to the early modern age. Their brutal struggle to survive on the steppes bred a resilient, pragmatic people ever-ready to learn from their neighbours.In warfare, they dominated the battlefield for over fifteen hundred years. Under charismatic rulers, they could topple empires and win their own.

Since the emergence of ChatGPT, generative AI has been heralded as a technology poised to revolutionize our world. But beyond the hype and hyperbole, who truly wields power over this transformative technology?In Silicon Empires, Nick Srnicek explores the geopolitical economy of artificial intelligence, revealing how a handful of powerful corporations and states are engaged in a monumental struggle to control its future. Srnicek moves beyond the headlines to lay bare the elaborate strategies that these silicon empires - from tech giants to great powers - are deploying to capture the immense value of AI. This incisive analysis uncovers the deep-seated tensions between corporate ambitions and national interests, and the profound consequences of this new era of technological competition. As the race for AI supremacy accelerates, Srnicek compellingly demonstrates that the decisions being made in the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the halls of government will shape the distribution of wealth and power on a global scale for decades to come.

Shadow Work for the Soul: Seeing Beauty in the Dark - Mary Mueller Shutan
A comprehensive guide to identifying and reclaiming your shadow. Throughout our lives, we repress and deny the parts of our authentic selves that our families, peers, and the world told us were wrong, unlovable, or too much, and from this repression our shadow is born. By the time we reach adulthood, much of our authentic self is shadow. The connection we once had to who we truly are has been severed, and we no longer feel vibrant and enthusiastic about life. In this practical and trauma-informed guide to deep shadow work, Mary Mueller Shutan explains how to find compassion for your dark side, reconnect with the repressed and abandoned parts of yourself, and reclaim the resiliency and joy of your authentic, whole self. She reflects on the positive, protective role of the shadow and describes how it is composed not only of the trauma and darkness we have experienced, but also the light we have yet to absorb. She explains how your reactivity to specific people and situations-your triggers -reflects your own pain and the ways you project your shadow onto others and the outer world. Presenting a wide variety of shadow work tools and emotional intelligence exercises, the author teaches you how to identify your shadow projections and safely and skillfully work with the difficult emotions that may arise during shadow work. As you discover and understand more of your personal dark places, the author then introduces the concept of collective shadows that are created by society yet affect us individually, including online shadows and relationship shadows. She explains how to identify and free yourself from the projections of collective shadows to promote individual and collective health. Offering a self-directed process for healing trauma and reclaiming the eclipsed light of your shadow, Shutan shows how shadow work allows you to move beyond the restrictions you ve placed on yourself and others and see the beauty inherent in the dark places of the self.

Book of Shadow Work - Keila Shaheen
Bestselling author and “empress of self-help” (The Atlantic) Keila Shaheen pens the ultimate modern guide for you to tap into the hidden powers that lie within you and unlock the life of your dreams. Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder, is this all there is? Are you currently capturing your strongest talent and tapping your deepest joy? Are you showing up as the best version of yourself? Are you satisfied with your career, relationships, and goals, or are you missing out on what life might have to offer you? Shadow work is the key to answering these and other questions truthfully so you can make the life of your dreams a reality. Originally founded by psychologist Carl Jung, shadow work guides you beyond surface self-help, bringing you face-to-face with the unacknowledged parts of yourself—the emotions, memories, beliefs, and yes, even the shame that shapes how you experience life every day. This journey lifts the veil between who you present as on the outside and who you truly are—and have the potential to become—on the inside. In this transformative process, reimagined for a contemporary audience for the first time, you’ll learn how to accept all of your parts—including the ones you have been conditioned to hide from others—and in doing so, uncover hidden strengths you’d never even dreamed of. Shadow work is a soulful practice that will guide you to release past regrets, and feel at home, perhaps for the first time, within yourself. Experience valuable inner healing with this essential resource and discover: - How shadow work can help you discover hidden talents and realize your true potential. - How shadow work can connect you to your life’s purpose. - How shadow work can help you find a supportive, aligned community. - How to navigate shadow work within important relationships. - How shadow work has manifested throughout history, and what it means for our collective future.

The Little Book of Shadow Work - Richard Martyn
This illustrated guide to shadow work features simple exercises and prompts to help you face hidden fears and live a more fulfilling life. TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE THROUGH SHADOW WORK Shadow work involves delving into your subconscious to meet and heal your #39;shadow self #39; -the #39;darker side #39; of your personality. This often includes aspects of your self that you have repressed out of fear and shame because they do not conform to the environment around you. However, the memories we repress do not simply go away. Our emotional reactions and behaviour in the present day are often influenced by past experiences. For example, if you are often quick to become frustrated, angry or defensive, then this may be a sign that you need to address your shadow side. Featuring beautiful illustrations, clear explanations, simple exercises and journal prompts, this pocket-sized guide is the perfect book to help you address, accept and overcome your shadow. You will find that shadow work helps you: - Become more self-aware, and better understand your emotions, insecurities and triggers - Gain self-confidence and self-acceptance - Form healthier and more communicative relationships with others - Approach yourself and others with more compassion - Remove any creative blocks

You Owe You - Chris Paul, Eric Thomas, PhD
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “You Owe You is full of insight and guidance for those seeking their inner selves.”—MICHAEL B. JORDAN No matter your story or your struggle, Eric Thomas—celebrated motivational guru, educator, and problem-solver to many of the top athletes and business leaders—will “help you work harder, discover your real motivation, and crack the code of enduring success” (Ed Mylett, #1 bestselling author of The Power of One More)If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America. Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life s script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start. Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.

Dana Thomas s Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Lustre goes deep inside the workings of today s world of profit margins and market share to discover the real meaning of luxury . Fashion may be fabulous, but what s the true price of luxury? From the importance of fashion owners, to red carpet stars and the seasonal must-have handbags, Dana Thomas shows how far illustrious houses have moved from their roots. Thomas witnesses how these luxury handbags are no longer one in a million, discovers why luxury brand clothing doesn t last as long, and finds out just who is making your perfume. From terrifying raids on the Chinese sweat shops to the daunting chic of Paris workshops, from the handcrafting and economics of early-twentieth century designers to the violent truth behind the harmless fakes, Deluxe goes deep into the world of extravagance, and asks: where can true luxury go now?

Discover a story 400 years in the making - the definitive biography of the man who dominated England in the first half of the sixteenth century Engrossing THE TIMES In this excellent study, Thomas More is reborn as a complex, absorbing man DAILY TELEGRAPH [A] immersive, richly told account of life, death, faith and politics at the early Tudor court SPECTATOR THE definitive biography of one of history s most complex and often inscrutable characters NATHEN AMIN Significant. Terrific. Meticulously researched. Beautifully written LITERARY REVIEWBorn into the English Wars of the Roses, educated in the European Renaissance, enthralled by the Age of Exploration and ultimately destroyed by Henry VIII, Thomas More is one of the most famous - or notorious - figures in English history. Is he a saintly scholar, the visionary author of Utopia and an inspiration for statesmen, socialists and intellectuals even today?Or is he the stubborn zealot famously portrayed in Hilary Mantel s Wolf Hall?Thomas More: A Life and Death in Tudor England is the definitive biography of this hypnotic, flawed figure. Overturning many received interpretations of the sixteenth century, Joanne Paul shows Thomas More to have been an intellectual and political giant of his age, central to the making of modern Europe. Based on new archival discoveries and drawing on more than a decade s research into More s life and work, this is a richly-told story of family, faith and politics, and a compelling portrait of a man who, more than four hundred years after his death, remains the most brilliant mind of the Renaissance. __MORE PRAISE FOR THOMAS MORE Paul has created a portrait of Thomas More that is epic, intimate and profoundly relatable to the modern reader LEAH REDMOND CHANG, Women s Prize longlisted historian of Young Queens Very impressive ALISON WEIR Wonderful, riveting, subtle. Captures beautifully the life of More and the fading world he died to preserve WALL STREET JOURNAL A proper scholarly history as well as a wonderful narrative read SUSANNAH LIPSCOMB Paul gives us a movingly human picture of a family man, scholar, politician and, ultimately, political martyr ELIZABETH NORTON
