Vaclav Havel's remarkable and rousing essay on the tyranny of apathy, with a new introduction by Timothy Snyder Cowed by life under Communist Party rule, a greengrocer hangs a placard in their shop window: Workers of the world, unite! Is it a sign of the grocer's unerring ideology? Or a symbol of the lies we perform to protect ourselves? Written in 1978, Vaclav Havel's meditation on political dissent - the rituals of its suppression, and the sparks that re-ignite it - would prove the guiding manifesto for uniting Solidarity movements across the Soviet Union. A portrait of activism in the face of falsehood and intimidation, The Power of the Powerless remains a rousing call against the allure of apathy.

Audiokniha: „Truth and love must triumph over lies and hatred.“ Václav Havel. Martin Vopěnka weaves historical events with biographical narratives, describing the essence of a totalitarian society and the individual's yearning for truth. Are there gaps in your children's knowledge of 20th-century history? Would they struggle to assemble basic information about Václav Havel's life? This experienced author describes the personality of the first Czech president within the context of 20th-century history. He artfully combines historical occurrences with personal accounts, describing the nature of a totalitarian society and the unwavering pursuit of truth by individuals. Young readers will acquire a lucid understanding of figures like Masaryk and Hitler, the aftermath of the Munich Betrayal, and the milieu in which Václav Havel came of age. Following February 1948, the thoughtful, privileged child transformed into an undesirable son of a bourgeois family with the label "unsuitable for studies". Nevertheless, his heart and intellect were in the right place. His clear vision of the world around him and his personal charisma eventually propelled him into the unofficial leadership of the anti-regime movement and the presidency of our country.

This biography is not just about Václav Havel and his legacy, but about the history of Central Europe in the 20th Century. It offers a foundation that anyone interested in this history should know. Václav Havel grew up during the great historical upheavals of the Second World War and the division of Europe by the Iron Curtain. Later he would make his own mark on history. Was he more powerful as a president struggling to bring a more human dimension to politics, or as a prisoner of the communist regime, acting in accordance with his conscience? In the face of the dangers and challenges of today, it becomes ever clearer that European politics in the decade since Havel's death has lacked figures of the same moral stature. Martin Vopěnka is the author of many successful books for children, young people and adults. His books have been translated into ten languages. Here, he once again shows his ability to select the most essential information and set it in comprehensible context. At the same time, he does not disguise the fact that the theme is a very personal one for him. Eva Bartošová's apt illustrations accompany his moving account of Havel's life and times.

Investigating the dawn of the atomic age in the 1940s, it goes on to show how the world came to fear nuclear plants after Chernobyl.In his quest to disentangle myth from facts, Marco Visscher asks: How dangerous is radiation? What should you do after a nuclear accident? And have nuclear weapons really made the world less safe? And why do some still reject the evidence that the atom can provide unlimited clean energy and free countries of their dependence on fossil fuels , combatting climate change and offering energy security?This is an informed look at what we might do with nuclear - and what nuclear is doing to us.

From a world-leading hormones specialist, the definitive book on the science of hormones and how understanding the secrets of our body's messengers can revolutionise our health and wellbeing Hormones are the messengers that drive every process in our body. They are essential to how we grow, fight disease and digest food; why we struggle to sleep, lose weight and manage stress - and so much more. When our hormones are imbalanced this can wreak havoc on our health, leading to conditions as far reaching as diabetes, infertility and heart disease. They also influence our personalities, how we feel and even the decisions we make. And yet for too long the power of our body's messengers has been overlooked. In this vital book, international expert Dr Max Nieuwdorp transforms our understanding of our bodies. Combining stories from his day-to-day life treating his patients with amazing, cutting-edge new science, he reveals the crucial role that hormones play from our early years through to old age, exploring everything from the effect that smartphones have on our sleep and longevity to how our gut bacteria produce 'happy' hormones. This eye-opening, myth-busting book shines a light on the incredible and under-explored role of hormones, which are crucial not only to our health but to our moods, our relationships, and so much of what makes us who we are.

All organizations have a culture, whether they acknowledge it or not, and whether it''s helping or hindering them. Get it right, and culture can be a positive force for good. Get it wrong, and culture can be a negative, becoming toxic and undermining performance and reputations. In short, culture matters. It can, though, be a tricky thing to understand and master. The Power of Culture tackles this head-on, exploring what culture is and why it matters; how it needs to be aligned with strategy and values, and how to understand it, change it and make it a reality. Told through real stories and examples and using the author''s Intentional Culture Circle as a guide, this book helps everyone at work to be more aware of culture and how to find opportunities to make it work better.

Exploring the revolutionary science behind the power of thought, this book will forever change how you think about your own thinking.This new updated and expanded 10th anniversary edition of The Biology of Belief contains stunning new scientific discoveries about the biochemical effects of the brain''s functioning that show all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts. Bruce H. Lipton PhD, a renowned cell biologist, describes the precise molecular pathways through which this occurs. Using simple language, illustrations, humour and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter, and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.It has been 10 years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton''s seminal book on the relationship between mind and body that changed the way we think about our lives, our health and our planet. During that time, research in this field has grown exponentially - Lipton''s ground-breaking experiments have now been endorsed by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study.In this greatly expanded edition, Lipton explores his own experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists that have unravelled in ever greater detail how truly connected the mind, body and spirit are. It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts.This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, we transform our lives, and in the process help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.

Elon Musk was not an electric car person before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world.

Na podzim roku 1977, po dramatických událostech "roku Charty", sepsal Václav Havel reportáž líčící první hodiny Prohlášení Charty 77, následné vyšetřování, čtyřměsíční vyšetřovací vazbu, kterou na něj uvalil komunistický režim, propuštění a posléze mučivé sebezpytování. Jak Havel uvádí v Dálkovém výslechu, asi stostránkovou reportáž někam ukryl a "už dávno nevím, kde je. Třeba ji někdy najdu". Za svého života už reportáž nenašel, ale objevila se v pozůstalosti jeho blízkého přítele Zdeňka Urbánka, kde ji nalezl jeho vnuk David Dušek. Text, který má do značné míry fragmentární povahu, z největší části zrekonstruovala a nyní vydává Knihovna Václava Havla. V původní osnově, která je součástí rukopisného nálezu, Václav Havel počítal s několika doprovodnými eseji jiných autorů na témata, kterými se v textu zabývá. V tomto duchu je i vydávaný soubor doplněn eseji Anny Freimanové, Petra Blažka, Davida Duška a Michaela Žantovského, který je zároveň editorem celého svazku. Anna Freimanová se zabývá divadelními souvislostmi Havlova textu, zejména zřejmou a přiznanou inspirací k sepsání faustovského Pokoušení. Historik Petr Blažek odpovídá na otázku, kterou si Havel klade ohledně vyšetřovatelů, kteří ho v roce 1977 dostali na starost - "kdo to vlastně jsou: co znamenají? Proč jsou?". David Dušek přispívá osobní vzpomínkou na počátky Charty a její iniciátory z perspektivy osmiletého dítěte. Konečně Michael Žantovský se zabývá Havlovými morálními dilematy roku 1977 a snahou o jejich řešení.

In a powerful exploration of recent racial history, the cofounder of Black Lives Matter examines the moment we're in, how we got here and how together we can build movements to create a just and equal world.Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag when Alicia Garza wrote what she calls 'a love letter to Black people' on Facebook. But hashtags don't build movements, she tells us. People do. Interwoven with Garza's experience of life as a Black woman, The Purpose of Power is the story of how she responded to the persistent message that Black lives are of less value than white lives by galvanising people to create change. It's an insight into grass roots organising to deliver basic needs - affordable housing, workplace protections, access to good education - to those locked out of the economy by racism. It is an attempt not only to make sense of where Black Lives Matter came from but also to understand the possibilities that Black Lives Matter and movements like it hold for our collective futures. Ultimately, it's an appeal to hearts and minds, demanding that we think about our privileges and prejudices and ask how we might contribute to the change we want to see in the world._______________'Alicia Garza combines immense wisdom with political courage to inspire a new generation of activists, dreamers and leaders... People like Alicia have been speaking up for decades. If we want to turn protest into substantive change, it's about time we finally listened.' David Lammy, MP'Insightful, compelling and necessary.'

But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.

Vzájemná korespondence Václava Havla a Františka Janoucha představuje dosud ojedinělý pramen k poznání tuzemské protikomunistické opozice let 1977-1989. V tomto období se formovala okolo Václava Havla a dalších představitelů československého disentu činnost Charty 77, kterou ze zahraničí významně podporoval a zajišťoval m.j. i český emigrant - jaderný fyzik František Janouch, jenž v roce 1978 založil Nadaci Charty 77 a od té doby je jejím předsedou. Dopisy, putující nejrůznějšími cestami zpravidla mezi Prahou či Hrádečkem a švédským Stockholmem či Björknäsem, zachycují nejen vznik osobního vztahu mezi oběma pisateli a jejich vzájemnou přátelskou a tvůrčí podporu, ale také praktický rozměr této podpory: administrativní záležitosti, pracovní pokyny, zprostředkovávání kontaktů, nákupy technického vybavení - počítačů, videokamer, magnetofonů, digitálních radií či finančních podpor, jež byly pronásledovaným v socialistické vlasti ze zahraničí poukazovány. Přes 210 shromážděných dokumentů shrnuje všechnu dosud známou korespondenci z let do roku 1989. V příloze pak čtenář nalezne několik ukázek dopisů z období po roce 1989, které dokumentují výrazné společenské ale i osobní změny, k nimž u nás v posledních šestnácti letech došlo. Dokumenty, které jsou malými dějinami Charty 77 a v případě Václava Havla dalším souvislým vydáním jeho dopisů (po Dopisech Olze, 1985), ukazují také technickou proměnu každodenní práce a přístupu k informacím ve druhé polovině 20. století: setkáváme se s celou řadou dokumentů - od ručně psaných, přes strojopisné po dopisy psané na počítačích či posléze zprávy faxové a e-mailové. Základem vydání je archiv (dnes mj. rovněž elektronický) Františka Janoucha, který knihu edičně připravil a opatřil doslovem.

Audiokniha MP3 Eda Kriseová, čte Daniela Kolářová, Jan Kačer Václav Havel znal spisovatelku Edu Kriseovou z disentu. Prožila s ním nejbouřlivější revoluční týdny a stala se nejprve jeho poradkyní a potom ředitelkou Odboru stížností a milostí na Pražském hradě. To, co se dělo tenkrát, se už nikdy nebude opakovat: vlády se chopili myslitelé, spisovatelé, filozofové... Sice bez praktických zkušeností s vládnutím, ale s těmi nejčistšími úmysly. Autorka záměrně napsala život kladného hrdiny, aby lidé dostali příklad, idol, po marasmu, v němž žili čtyřicet let. Aby pochopili, že se vyplatí být slušný a držet se své pravdy a život má smysl jenom tehdy, když ho člověk žije ve vlastní celistvosti, a že stojí za to obětovat to osobní zájmu celé společnosti. Též očišťuje pověst české národní buržoazie, rodiny, z níž Václav pocházel, a zachycuje vzpomínky Havlových kamarádů a současníků, aby z jejich paměti vystupoval Václav Havel nejopravdověji a nejživěji jako člověk...

Why should we learn more than one language?Can it change the way we think?Does it have the power to transform how we see the world? You may think you speak only one language. In fact, your mind is interpreting multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in maths. Humans are built for multilingualism. Drawing on cutting-edge research and theory, delivered with wit and lucid insight, psycholinguist Viorica Marian explores the ways in which the mind uses multiple languages and how, in doing so, we can open the doors to unique forms of creativity, brain health and cognitive control. Every new language we speak - whether it is coding or musical notes, Hindi or Arabic - shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and those around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make and the actions we take. The Power of Language lays bare how we use different linguistic codes to think about the world - and change our place within it.Empowering and practical, this is the perfect guide for anyone interested in how language really works.

Sborník obsahuje úplnou korespondenci Karla Hvížďaly s Václavem Havlem, kterou spolu vedli v letech 1984 až 2006 nad knihami Dálkový výslech a Prosím stručně. Obsahuje i faksimile originálů Havlových dopisů a dobové fotografie. Zpětně lze říci, že pro oba autory měly tyto dvě knihy mnohem větší důležitost, než si zprvu mysleli: Václav Havel na začátku spolupráce na Dálkovém výslechu věřil, že někdy v budoucnu napíše paměti a samozřejmě netušil, že v prosinci 1989, sehraje u veřejnosti klíčovou roli před jeho zvolením do prezidentského úřadu. Dálkový výslech je dodnes jeho nejcitovanější a nejpřekládanější knihou. Podobně byl Dálkový výslech důležitý pro Karla Hvížďalu po jeho návratu z německého exilu: pomohl mu snáze se začlenit do české splečnosti. Prosím stručně je kniha, která vznikala už za zcela odlišných podmínek, v době kdy Václav Havel již nebyl prezidentem. Podnět k ní dal on sám, jak z korespondence vyplývá.

Dálkový výslech Václava Havla je nejosobitější a také nejúspěšnější knihou našeho bývalého prezidenta. Je vyznáním jeho vztahu k lidem, umění, politice a je i jeho životopisem. Tím, že tento rozhovor Karlu Hvížďalovi poskytl, ze sebe sejmul povinnost jednou napsat paměti. Dálkový výslech vyšel poprvé česky v Londýně v roce 1986. Upravené vydání, doplněné o unikátní fotografie či předmluvu Petra Pitharta, vychází k Havlovým nedožitým 85. narozeninám.

Skeče Motomorfóza a Ela, Hela a stop napsal Václav Havel pro revue Ivana Vyskočila Autostop na přelomu let 1960 a 1961, nakonec do ní ale zařazeny nebyly. Motomorfóza se pak zpětně stala její součástí v dnes již zapomenutém sborníku z roku 1963, skeč Ela, Hela a stop se podařilo nalézt až v roce 2009 (poté jej jako příležitostné scénické čtení nastudovalo Divadlo v Dlouhé). I když se skeče dočkaly knižního vydání až nyní, neztratily nic ze své působivosti a zábavnosti. Kniha vychází u příležitosti 75. narozenin Václava Havla, který sám vydání okomentoval slovy: Jsem dojat, že tato knížka vychází, neboť Autostop byl prvním textem, na němž jsem se autorsky podílel a který byl uveden na jevišti.

Inferior is more than just a book. It's a battle cry - and right now, it's having a galvanising effect on its core fanbase' ObserverAre women more nurturing than men?Are men more promiscuous than women?Are males the naturally dominant sex?And can science give us an impartial answer to these questions?Taking us on an eye-opening journey through science, Inferior challenges our preconceptions about men and women, investigating the ferocious gender wars that burn in biology, psychology and anthropology. Angela Saini revisits the landmark experiments that have informed our understanding, lays bare the problem of bias in research, and speaks to the scientists finally exploring the truth about the female sex.The result is an enlightening and deeply empowering account of women's minds, bodies and evolutionary history. Interrogating what these revelations mean for us as individuals and as a society, Inferior unveils a fresh view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded.
