eBook: Over the past thirty years, the Czech public administration has been the subject of research rooted in law, economics, and history. However, only minimal attention has been paid to what Czech public officials actually do on the job (policy work) and the extent of politically motivated interference in their work (politicisation). This book aims to fill this gap by presenting the evidence derived from a large-N survey of the Czech ministries, the first of its kind in the country. The findings presented in the book offer new insights into the activities within the “ivory towers” of the Czech ministries and defy popular notions of an appallingly politicised bureaucracy.

eBook: VEZEME DĚTI NA PARNÍM STROJI DO VIRTUÁLNÍ REALITY? Připravujeme děti na svět, který nenávratně zmizel. Vezeme děti na parním stroji do virtuální reality a tvrdíme jim, že je to pro ně prospěšné. Tato kniha tvrdí opak a snaží se ukázat, jaké dopravní prostředky vedou společnost místo do minulosti do budoucnosti. Existuje jedna zábavná společenská hra. Do kruhu se rozestaví židle a okolo nich stojí lidé. Židlí je přesně o jednu méně než lidí. Na povel si mají lidé sednout – kdo to nestihne, ze hry vypadává. Nemá si kam sednout. Do značné míry jde o alegorii života. Lidská společnost hraje tuto hru i v reálném světě. Úspěšní v ní nacházejí svá místa, neúspěšní se pohybují ve stínu periferie. Snahou výchovy a vzdělávání by v tomto světě mělo být nacházet co nejvíce míst pro každého, protože příliš mnoho lidí na periferii mění hru ve svízelnou situaci nebo dokonce horor. Co když se ale lidstvo dostalo do situace, kdy původní pravidla hry přestala platit, protože židle nejsou po ruce, nýbrž se ukrývají někde v nepřehledném prostoru mimo okamžitý dosah, a dokonce se stále pohybují? K jejich hledání pak potřebujete dovednosti, které si musíte osvojit. Místo toho si ale osvojujete dovednosti, které vás vedou úplně jiným směrem. V takové situaci se nyní ocitáme a děláme jen málo, abychom to změnili.

eBook: Příběh autora, původem z Afriky a nyní s českým občanstvím, popisuje, jak silnější bezohledně utlačují a zneužívají slabší, ale zároveň že ti silní nejsou ve skutečnosti zas tak úplně silní a ti slabí vždy neviňátka. Knihu se dá těžko zařadit do určitého žánru. Najdete v ní lásku a tragedii, drama i komedii. Je to Punk fiction, protože tam jde spíše o obsah a jednoduchou komunikaci myšlenky než o formu, přesto plné fantazie a humoru, občas černého. S punkem jakožto hudebním žánrem má kniha společné pouze svou jednoduchost projevu a provokativní společensko-kritický obsah. Děj se odehrává převážně v Čechách a v jistém oddělení nebe, dále částečně ve Vietnamu, v jiné časoprostorové dimenzi a nakonec Etiopii, odkud mimochodem autor pochází. Hlavní postavu děje se také dá stěží určit, protože každý ze čtenářů, kteří posoudili text, si vybrali s nadšením někoho jiného. V příběhu se objevují, kromě různých zajímavých postav, lidé z různých společenských vrstev a tříd, stejně tak různé národnosti a barvy pleti, dále přepracovaná, sentimentální smrtka se sklonem k filozofii, charismatická koza, přísný pitbul a pyšný kohout. Kniha má sice v názvu „No future“, ale člověk přesto nakonec získá naději, že vše zas tak ztraceno nebude.

eBook: Další díl do antologie o prozřetelnosti o báječném světě jako z plakátu vykresleném v krátkých glosách, ve kterých se autor pouští do kulometné palby na všechny známé amerikanismy naší doby. Život v Americe je prezentován v prosté, někdy i vulgární nahotě bez Hollywoodských cukrkandlů, palisád hojnosti a konzumního opojení. Celá dnešní Amerika spíše přípomíná kabaret světel a lascivní hudby lákající prostý lid na atrakce o raketové prosperitě a bezbřehé svobodě. To vše servírované s vydatnou porcí falešné víry jako od pouťového prodavače magických talismanů. Všechno je jinak. Amerika je na sedativech celofánové výjmečnosti, v dluhové pasti mafiánského způsobu hospodaření a s lidmi připoutaných na sedačkách korporátního tobogánu, ze kterého lze vystoupit jen s křížkem po funuse. Ponořete se do hlubin amerického života, tak jak ho neznáte a asi už nikdy nepoznáte.

eBook: This book targets the problems of emergence and stabilization of the earliest state bodies in the pristine statehood foci of the Old World - Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China. Charvát takes his readers through the essential economic, political and intellectual transformations induced in those societies by their transformations into early states. The author also provides a comprehensive view over the entire range of the discussed problems, attempting to perceive the process of establishment of the earliest states of the Old World in its complexity. The book gives the word to ancient statesmen, as well as to men of religion and letters of yore, voicing their alarm in crisis situations of their states, when they feared collapse of what they understood as "civilized society". Addressing their admonitions to kings, managers, generals and, where possible, the widest circles of society, such thinkers urged their contemporaries to defend the ideals on which their civilizations wer e built. The book is addressed to all those interested in the emergence and development of humankind´s earliest states including university students of humanity disciplines.

eBook: La Fortune des Rougon (The Fortune of the Rougons), originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Émile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The novel is partly an origin story, with a large cast of characters - many of whom become the central figures of later novels in the series - and partly an account of the December 1851 coup d´etat that created the French Second Empire under Napoleon III. The events are experienced through the eyes of a large provincial town in southern France. The title refers not only to the "fortune" chased by protagonists Pierre and Felicité Rougon, but also to the fortunes of the various disparate family members Zola introduces, whose lives are of central importance to later books in the series.

eBook: Considered wildly controversial at the time of its release, \'The Fruit of the Tree\' is a departure from the norm for Edith Wharton. While her trademark eye for social detail and psychological insights are present and correct, this novel deals with more melancholic themes, such as divorce, addiction, euthanasia, poor working conditions, and extravagance. It follows the story of George Amhurst, the assistant manager of a textile mill in New England. While his heart might be in the right place, when he marries the widow of a mill owner, he might be forced to compromise in his ideals. A striking book from the pen that wrote \'The Age of Innocence,\' which became a film, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis.

eBook: Do you like Stieg Larsson\'s \'Millennium\', James Bond and dystopian dramas like \'The Man in the High Castle\'? The 1903 spy thriller \'The Riddle of the Sands\' has elements of all three - and then some. Ken Follett, author of \'The Pillars of the Earth\', called \'The Riddle of the Sands\' the \"first modern thriller\". It centres on a suspected plot by the German Empire to invade Britain. The plot proved to be almost prophetic, bearing in mind what was to follow in the First World War and the Second World War in the coming decades. Minor civil servant Carruthers and his friend, Davies are the men investigating the plot while on a yachting holiday in the Baltic Sea. They are drawn into an intricate story that includes secret treasure, a British traitor and a race against time to save Britain from the grip of the Kaiser. In 1979 \'The Riddle of the Sands\' was made into a spy thriller movie, starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter and Simon MacCorkindale. Childers\' technique of including a great deal of detail that could be verified was later used by authors including: John Buchan, who wrote \'The Thirty-Nine Steps\'; \'James Bond\' author Ian Fleming and John Le Carré. Erskine Childers (1870-1922) was an Anglo-Irish writer whose only true literary success came with \'The Riddle of the Sands\'. Instead, he found infamy through his political activism. Having been a prospective Liberal parliamentary candidate, he left the party and took up the cause of Irish Republicanism. He smuggled guns into Ireland on his yacht, but was executed during the Irish Civil War. His son, Erskine Hamilton Childers, became the 4th president of Ireland.

eBook: Ever wondered how to combat the deep-seated urge to do wrong? Maybe Edgar Allen Poe can help. In "The Imp of the Perverse" (1845) Poe sets out to explain the Imp – the archetype responsible for persuading us to do what we know in our minds we shouldn't. Poe, supposedly distraught with his own self-destructive impulses, lets the story take place primarily in the narrator's mind as he frets the day he will have to come clean. At the heart of this short story is the question of how far we can justify our wrongdoings. It explores our self-destructive impulses and urges, the abandonment of reason and our inherent wickedness. Join Poe as he takes the reader from the sunny valleys of reason to the darkest regions of the human soul. A descent into madness.

At the age of 28, the author was sent to cover the developments in this true-crime story. In 1903, Camille Holland and Samuel Dougal apparently went on a shopping trip.

Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book ‘The Four Just Men.’ Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of ‘King Kong,’ which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by ‘Lord of the Rings’ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts).
