Asi každý v životě narazí na řadu otázek hodných hlubší úvahy. Jednou z nich může být i otázka o smyslu vašeho nebo obecně lidského života. Do mozaiky různých názorů přicházejících ze všech možných stran může zapadnout jako jeden střípek i tato drobná knížka. Na rozdíl od některých jiných děl se vás nesnaží přesvědčit o jediné správné cestě životem. Pokouší se vysvětlit, proč si dávat pozor na zcela zaručené pravdy, o kterých se nesmí pochybovat, a proč je hledání vlastního úsudku nejpřijatelnější cesta. Přístupnou formou, bez složitých vědeckých formulací, se snaží tato knížka podívat na člověka a jeho život.

Tato kniha je o tom, proč vyslovovat otázky, které se týkají možné transformace Homo sapiens v souvislosti s tím, jak přicházíme na svět. Zaprvé proto, že doba kolem porodu je nepochybně fází moderního života, která se za poslední desetiletí dramatickým způsobem změnila. Zadruhé proto, že nové vědní disciplíny potvrzují, že toto krátké období je "zásadní" pro utváření lidských bytostí. Přenos získaných vlastností na následující generace navíc můžeme z vědeckého hlediska vysvětlit: je to okamžik, který je zásadní pro naše porozumění mechanismu evoluce druhu. V době, kdy se porodnická praxe hodnotí pouze podle krátkodobých měřítek, by nás tato první kniha o evoluci Homo sapiens v souvislosti s tím, jak přicházíme na svět, měla podpořit v přemýšlení z dlouhodobého hlediska a v kontextu evoluce svého druhu.

Nová kniha Igora Kronného Rozštěpený rozum odpovídá téměř na všechny otázky života. Je možné ji směle nazvat nejsarkastičtější knihou o složitém postpřestavbovém období a lidech žijících a bojujících za své prosté lidské štěstí v Rusku i v cizině. Tvůrčím prvkem Kronného je ironie a jemnost stylu, nepředpověditelnost tématu a zvláštní spojení psychogizace postav s groteskností. Otevře-li čtenář jeho knihu, nepřestane, dokud ji nedočte.

But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life.

Translated by Antony M. Ludovici. With an Introduction by Ray Furness.The three works in this collection, all dating from Nietzsche's last lucid months, show him at his most stimulating and controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together with the ill-defined figure of the UEbermensch) are forsaken, as wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate, forcing the reader to face unpalatable insights and to rethink every commonly accepted 'truth'. Thinking with Nietzsche, in Jaspers' words, means holding one's own against him, and we are indeed refreshed and challenged by the vortex of his thoughts, by concepts which test and probe. In The Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce Homo Nietzsche writes at breakneck speed of his provenance, his adversaries and his hopes for mankind; the books are largely epigrammatic and aphoristic, allowing this poet-philosopher to bewilder and fascinate us with their strangeness and their daring.He who fights with monsters, Nietzsche once told us, should look to it that he himself does not become one, and when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Reader, beware.

Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side. The result is a riveting, up-close picture of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero.The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age. As a study in leadership and human resolve, its appeal is timeless and universal.''Intimate but unflinchingly objective, this biography gives you a seat at Zelensky''s war cabinet and penetrates his mind as he battles to save Ukraine''s freedom—and ours'' Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible

This is derived from the first ten locomotives being given the names of British mountains. These machines originated under the Modernisation Plan of 1955 as BR''s Type 4 design. The Class 45s and Class 46s had slightly more powerful engines compared to the Class 44s, with the Class 46s having Brush rather than Crompton Parkinson Ltd electrical equipment.The Class 45s became the main motive power on the Midland main line for many years, while the Class 46s were used heavily on cross country services between the North East and South West. The Class 44s were at first employed on the West Coast main line but were latterly were relegated to freight duties mostly being based at Toton depot in Nottinghamshire.This new study covers the three types from their design and inception through to withdrawal and preservation. It draws extensively on original source material from a number of archives, and is lavishly illustrated with over 200 black and white and colour photographs almost all of which are being published for the very first time.

FOREWORD BY NEDUM ONUOHAThe year is 2012. Manchester City have failed in an audacious attempt to appoint Pep Guardiola, the most sought-after manager in world football.

But his first season at the Etihad will be his first ever without a trophy. After drawing the first home game of his second season, he will shut himself away in the dressing room, inconsolable.The year is 2018. Manchester City followed that fateful draw with eighteen wins in a row. They will win the Premier League with a record, rampant 100 points - a now legendary 'Centurion' season.The year is 2023.

Audiokniha MP3 - Jedna z nejucelenějších a nejzábavnějších knih o historii lidstva. Pozoruhodná cesta od zvířete k božskému jedinciDramatický je příběh bezvýznamného lidoopa, který před dvěma miliony let někde v koutě Afriky získal vědomí, vyvraždil své přírodní bratrance a ovládl celou planetu.

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.

A gloriously illuminating history of the encyclopaedia (and how and why we have captured knowledge over the years) by the bestselling author of JUST MY TYPE and ON THE MAP The encyclopaedia once shaped our understanding of the world. Now these huge books sell for almost nothing on eBay while we derive information from our phones. What have we lost in this transition? All the Knowledge in the World tracks the story from Ancient Greece to Wikipedia, from modest single-volumes to the 11,000-volume Chinese manuscript that was too big to print. It exposes how encyclopaedias reflect our changing attitudes towards sexuality, race and technology, uncovers a fascinating part of our shared past and wonders whether the promise of complete knowledge - that most human of ambitions - will forever be beyond our grasp.

Cool. Balanced. Modern. The precisions of science, the wild variance of lust, the catharsis of confession and the fear of failure - these are things that happen in the Glass Room. High on a Czechoslovak hill, the Landauer House shines as a wonder of steel and glass and onyx built specially for newlyweds Viktor and Liesel Landauer, a Jew married to a gentile. But the radiant honesty of 1930 that the house, with its unique Glass Room, seems to engender quickly tarnishes as the storm clouds of WW2 gather, and eventually the family must flee, accompanied by Viktor's lover and her child. But the house's story is far from over, and as it passes from hand to hand, from Czech to Russian, both the best and the worst of the history of Eastern Europe becomes somehow embodied and perhaps emboldened within the beautiful and austere surfaces and planes so carefully designed, until events become full-circle.

First published in 1967, this book consists of three short novellas on the theme of women's vulnerability – in the first, to the process of ageing, in the second to loneliness, and, in the third, to the growing indifference of a loved one. THE WOMAN DESTROYED is a collection of three stories, each an exquisite and passionate study of a woman trapped by circumstances, trying to rebuild her life. In the first story, ‘The Age of Discretion’, a successful scholar fast approaching middle age faces a double shock – her son’s abandonment of the career she has chosen for him and the harsh critical rejection of her latest academic work.‘The Monologue’ is an extraordinary New Year’s Eve outpouring of invective from a woman consumed with bitterness and loneliness after her son and her husband have left home. Finally, in ‘The Woman Destroyed’, Simone de Beauvoir tells the story of Monique, trying desperately to resurrect her life after her husband confesses to an affair with a younger woman. Compassionate, lucid, full of wit and knowing, Simone de Beauvoir’s rare insight into the inequalities and complexities of women’s lives is unsurpassable.

'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' GuardianSimone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.
