Given recent work in quantum physics suggesting that our world is just one world in a series of many, Leland Royce Harper calls for a shift in our concept of the monotheistic God of Judeo-Christian tradition. In Multiverse Deism: Shifting Perspectives of God and the World, Harper argues that those who wish to maintain that the Judeo-Christian God exists ought to revise how they define this God and what they expect of Him so as to maintain consistency between modern theism and the growing body of scientific knowledge. While this revision entails several concessions by the theist, the overall result is a stronger and more coherent account of who God really is. By removing the expectation that God will act in the natural world, Harper argues that we are left with a concept of God that maintains all of the traditional divine attributes, is consistent with current scientific advances, remains compatible with contemporary and historical arguments for the existence of God, and better refutes contemporary and historical arguments for atheism than the traditional, active God.

Ve své knize popisují, čím si prošli, co se naučili zvládnout a jak vnímali to, že se jejich rodiče rozešli. „Co mám dělat, když se rodiče hádají?“ „Co to znamená, když se rozvedou?“ „Jak to, že mi nedokážou říci, že se budou rozvádět?“ „Můžu to nějak zastavit?“ Kde budu bydlet, co se mnou bude?“ „Táta si našel přítelkyni. Jak se k ní mám chovat?“ a podobné otázky se honí hlavou většině dětí, jejichž rodiče procházejí rozvodem. Melanie, Annie a Steven na ně dokážou odpovědět, protože to také zažili.

Odehrál třetí nejvyšší počet zápasů za reprezentaci v historii anglického fotbalu. Byl pravděpodobně nejlepším a zcela jistě nejzanícenějším britským sportovcem své generace. Ale kdo je vlastně Steven Gerrard? Za svůj milovaný Liverpool odehrál více než 700 zápasů a za národní tým Anglie dalších 114. Steven Gerrard je sportovec, jemuž se nikdo nevyrovná v oddanosti spoluhráčům, a je nezpochybnitelným vzorem. Ale díky čemu se stal tím, kým je? A díky čemu se mu podařilo zůstat tak dlouho na vrcholu v nejtěžší lize světa? V knize Můj příběh vypráví Gerrard upřímně o své mimořádné kariéře, klíčových zápasech a momentech, na něž nám nabízí vlastní pohled ze hřiště. Ať už je to úžasný obrat Liverpoolu ve finále Ligy mistrů 2005 nebo jeho starty na mistrovstvích světa a Evropy, podává nám vzrušující obraz výher – a proher – před desítkami tisíc bouřících fanoušků. A především je to úžasný a velmi vzácný osobní příběh o tom, jaké to je zůstat věrný jedinému klubu v časech dobrých i zlých. Bez vytáček, odvážně a upřímně se v knize Stevena Gerrarda Můj příběh vypráví o typu hráčů, kteří už vymírají – o muži, jenž drží slovo a jenž je věrný svému klubu i sám sobě.

STEVEN GERRARD odohral za reprezentáciu Anglicka tretí najvyšší počet zápasov v jej histórii. Možno ho považovať za najväčšieho a nepochybne najoddanejšieho britského športovca jeho generácie. No kto je v skutočnosti Steven Gerrard? Predovšetkým je to jeden z najpríťažlivejších športových vzorov. Za svoj milovaný Liverpool odohral viac než sedemsto zápasov a ďalších stoštrnásť v drese anglického národného tímu. Ako sa však stal tým, kým bol? Ako sa mu podarilo udržať tak dlho v špičke najťažšej futbalovej ligy sveta? V knihe Môj príbeh hovorí Steven Gerrard otvorene o svojej výnimočnej futbalovej kariére, o pozadí kľúčových zápasov a prináša zaujatý pohľad hráča priamo na ihrisku. Či rozpráva o ohromujúcom triumfe Liverpoolu v Lige majstrov v roku 2005, alebo o svojich výkonoch na mnohých svetových a európskych turnajoch, zakaždým nám sprostredkúva vzrušujúci zážitok z prežívania výhier – i prehier – pred zrakmi desiatok tisícov rozvášnených divákov. Nadovšetko však spoznávame neuveriteľný a zriedkavý osobný príbeh o lojalite k jednému klubu v dobrom i v zlom, nech bola cena akákoľvek. Kniha Môj príbeh je poslednou bodkou odvážneho, statočného, poctivého, no i chybujúceho futbalistu, akí sa už nerodia, je príbehom muža, ktorý si stál za svojím slovom, za svojím klubom a bol vždy sám sebou.

"Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: "Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu." Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou.

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.
