Ruská katastrofa a možnosti, jak ji překonat Andrej Zubov byl v roce 2022 nucen opustit svoji rodnou zemi a přijal pozvání rektora Masarykovy univerzity, aby přednášel v Brně. Soubor jeho přednášek česky souhrnně nazvaný „Ruská katastrofa a možnosti, jak ji překonat“ nyní vychází knižně. Autor skrze studium ruských dějin hledá odpovědi na dvě úzce související otázky: Proč bylo Rusko od bolševického převratu po celé dvacáté století neustálým zdrojem agrese? a Existuje nějaká naděje, že se Rusko radikálně promění, přestane být agresorem a stane se mírumilovným státem, demokratickou zemí, jako země EU a NATO? Profesor Zubov věří, že jeho texty přispějí k lepšímu pochopení tragického osudu jeho lidu v minulých i současných staletích, procesů, které vedly k válce, a tím i k budování trvalejšího míru po jejím skončení.

Dvousvazková, moderně pojatá a na oficiální prokremelské propagandě nezávislá práce kolektivu ruských autorů, vedená profesorem Andrejem Borisovičem Zubovem, představuje jedinečný pokus o syntetický výklad dějin Ruska 20. století. Autoři se v ní pokoušejí odpovědět na otázku, proč se ruské dějiny po pádu carismu ubíraly cestami vedoucímu k vytvoření totalitního, nelidského, cynického, navenek však modernizačního režimu, jenž ve svém důsledku vedl téměř ke zničení ruské duše a svébytné ruské civilizace. Jejich pohled je veskrze komplexní. Hlavní důraz nekladou na suché politické dějiny, nýbrž na dějiny společnosti, která specifickým způsobem reagovala na sociálně inženýrské pokusy nevzdělaných sovětských vůdců, kteří si nevážili lidského života a vše nazírali prizmatem osobní moci a osobního prospěchu. Na pozadí utrpení ruského národa autoři píší i dějiny ruského intelektuálního života a dějiny ruské pravoslavné církve, v níž spatřují, i přes její tendence kolaborovat s totalitním režimem, jeden z pilířů přetrvání ruské existence. Jako vůbec první historická práce Velké dějiny Ruska rovněž propojují dějiny ruské emigrace, dějiny "jiného" Ruska, Ruska mimo Rusko, s dějinami sovětského impéria, čímž líčení ruské minulosti dávají rozměr konfrontace dvou světů, jež mezi sebou vedly život na život a na smrt. První díl, zahrnující léta 1894-1939, je věnován konci období carského Ruska, revolucím 1905 a 1917, budování sovětského státu za Leninovy a Stalinovy diktatury. Vydání knihy podpořila Nadace Mikhaila Prokhorova.

A transporting, good-humored, and revealing account of Greece s dire troubles, reported from the mountain villages, idyllic islands, and hardscrabble streets that define the country today In recent years, small Greece, often associated with ancient philosophers and marble ruins, whitewashed villages and cerulean seas, has been at the center of a debt crisis that has sown economic and social ruin, spurred panic in international markets, and tested Europe s decades-old project of forging a closer union. In "The Full Catastrophe," James Angelos makes sense of contrasting images of Greece, a nation both romanticized for its classical past and castigated for its dysfunctional present. With vivid character-driven narratives and engaging reporting that offers an immersive sense of place, he brings to life some of the causes of the country s financial collapse, and examines the changes, some hopeful and others deeply worrisome, emerging in its aftermath. A small rebellion against tax authorities breaks out on a normally serene Aegean island. A mayor from a bucolic, northern Greek village is gunned down by the municipal treasurer. An aging, leftist hero of the Second World War fights to win compensation from Germany for the wartime occupation. A once marginal group of neo-Nazis rises to political prominence out of a ramshackle Athens neighborhood. "The Full Catastrophe" goes beyond the transient coverage in the daily headlines to deliver an enduring and absorbing portrait of modern Greece."

A compelling history of catastrophes and their consequences, from 'the most brilliant British historian of his generation' (The Times)Disasters are inherently hard to predict. But when catastrophe strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet the responses of many developed countries to a new pathogen from China were badly bungled. Why?While populist rulers certainly performed poorly in the face of the pandemic, Niall Ferguson argues that more profound pathologies were at work - pathologies already visible in our responses to earlier disasters.Drawing from multiple disciplines, including economics and network science, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe offers not just a history but a general theory of disaster. As Ferguson shows, governments must learn to become less bureaucratic if we are to avoid the impending doom of irreversible decline.

Uncovering his family's remarkable and moving stories, Mark Mazower recounts the sacrifices and silences that marked a generation and their descendants. It was a family that fate drove into the siege of Stalingrad, the Vilna ghetto, occupied Paris, and even into the ranks of the Wehrmacht. His British father was the lucky one, the son of Russian Jewish emigrants who settled in London after escaping the civil war and revolution. Max, the grandfather, had started out as a socialist and manned the barricades against tsarist troops, but never spoke of it. His wife, Frouma, came from a family ravaged by the Great Terror yet somehow making their way in Soviet society. In the centenary of the Russian Revolution, What You Did Not Tell recounts a brand of socialism erased from memory - humanistic, impassioned, and broad-ranging in its sympathies. But it also explores the unexpected happiness that may await history's losers, the power of friendship, and the love of place that allowed Max and Fro

Kyiv, 1919. The Soviets control the city, but White armies menace them from the West. No man trusts his neighbour and any spark of resistance may ignite into open rebellion.When Samson Kolechko's father is murdered, his last act is to save his son from a falling Cossack sabre. Deprived of his right ear instead of his head, Samson is left an orphan, with only his father's collection of abacuses for company. Until, that is, his flat is requisitioned by two Red Army soldiers, whose secret plans Samson is somehow able to overhear with uncanny clarity.Eager to thwart them, he stumbles into a world of murder and intrigue that will either be the making of him - or finish what the Cossack started. Inflected with Kurkov's signature humour and magical realism, The Silver Bone takes inspiration from the real life archives of crime enforcement agencies in Kyiv, crafting a propulsive narrative that bursts to life with rich historical detail.

Wren and Cuff Super Russian kombinuje Muff sekci a transparent germanium buffered boost sekci v extrémně všestranném efektovém pedálu. Strana Muff je v podstatě Font Russian fuzz s několika malými vylepšeními a úpravami.Fuzz poskytuje pevný low-end s přebujelou kompresí a současným a jasným rozsahem výšek, smíchaný s legendárním tónem a mírným drsným okrajem a hrubostí, která se nenachází v "Civil War" Muffs. Ve srovnání se standardním Tall Fontem Russian fuzz má strana Muff Super Russian o něco větší výstupní hlasitost a přichází s přepínačem pro nastavení EQ, který volí mezi charakteristickým Muff mid-scoop a plochým EQ nastavením ve středech. Sekce fuzz obsahuje také legendární mod „Creamy Dreamer“.Buffer-boost strana je samostatným křišťálově čistým transparent germanium buffered boostem, který je umístěn před sekcí Muff. Tento buffered boost lze použít i samostatně jako krásný nástroj k zesílení čistého tónu nebo jej použít k nakopnutí dalšího pedálu v řetězci.

Pedál Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian je současnou verzí legendárních Tall Font Russian Muffs. Toto byla 2. varianta Muff-u ve velkém zeleném obalu s typickou nálepkou. Jeho zvuk je podobný předchozímu modelu „Civil War“, tón je agresivnější a rozmazanější než u předchůdce. Podle Wren and Cuff bylo velmi komplikované reprodukovat tento zvuk, museli nalézt správné tranzistory. Při analýze původního zapojení zjistili, že původní potenciometry měly výrazný vliv na základní zvuk!Ti, kdo hledají zvuk klasiky, ale nechtějí platit přemrštěné ceny za nespolehlivý vintage pedál bez true bypassu, by měli vyzkoušet Tall Font Russian.

In the trenches in Galicia, fantasies fall flat. Heroism gets a man killed quickly. War devours all that they have known, and the only thing Pinto has to live for are the attentions of Osman, a fellow soldier, a man of action to complement Pinto’s introspective, poetic soul; a charismatic storyteller and Pinto’s protector and lover.Together, Pinto and Osman will escape the trenches and find themselves entangled with spies and Bolsheviks.

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.

V roce 1901 se Nikodim Pavlovič Kondakov, jeden ze zakladatelů dějin umění v Rusku a specialista na středověké umění, rozhodl podniknout překvapivou expedici. Hnán touhou spatřit na vlastní oči poslední místa, kde se tradičním způsobem vyráběly zbožné obrazy – slavné ikony –, se odvážně vydal na hrbolaté a nejisté cesty ruského venkova. Kniha, kterou držíte v rukou a která poprvé vyšla v roce 1901 a nyní je k dispozici mezinárodnímu publiku, je mnohem víc než jen popisem jeho cesty. Provází čtenáře předrevolučním Ruskem, kde Kondakov cestuje za místní produkcí a hledá skutečně pravoslavné projevy umění, které se podle něj táhne až do středověké minulosti. Kondakov se svým velmi osobitým stylem nakonec vydává na cestu za záchranou starobylého umění ikon a doufá, že se mu podaří zachránit uměleckou formu skomírající pod konkurencí průmyslové výroby. Dnes je tato kniha aktuálnější než kdy jindy, protože zpochybňuje kořeny ruské kultury, tradice a pocit její výlučnosti. Obsahuje i texty předních odborníků na ruské a byzantské umění a ilustrace současného komiksového výtvarníka Michele Folettiho.

Tato kniha sleduje dynamiku vojensko-technologických inovací v Rusku za posledních sto padesát let, přičemž se zaměřuje zejména na tři odlišná období: zavedení puškových zbraní se závěrovým mechanismem v carském Rusku v 19. století, vynález jaderných zbraní v Sovětském svazu ve 20. století a vývoj přesně naváděných zbraní v postsovětském Rusku v 21. století. Analýza se ve velké míře opírá o primární data získaná z ruských archivů, doplněná řadou rozhovorů s odborníky, a nastiňuje odlišný strategický kulturní přístup Ruska k vojensko-technologickým inovacím.

Anna Hermanovská je autorkou úspešných zbierok poviedok Kvapôčky a Vianočné kvapôčky. Kniha Čas pekných zubov (2018) má názov podľa poviedky, v ktorej sa zamýšľa nad otázkami starnutia a osobného dozrievania.

eBook: The Mysterious Key and What it Opened is written by L. M. Alcott. The strange passing of Sir Richard Trevlyn sets the story in the beginning. The only thing the reader is aware of is that Richard's wife, Alice, who is expecting their first child, is listening to a discussion Richard is having with a visitor via a keyhole in the library door. She faints after being horrified by what she hears, and a servant named Hester discovers her and puts her to bed. Hester rushes to the library to inform Richard that his wife is ill despite Alice's insistence that he not be disturbed. She discovers him dead, slouched over his desk. A sixteen-year-old kid named Paul who is applying for work on the estate runs into the young child, Lillian, twelve years later. He performs his duties successfully, rising in rank and winning the love of both his family and his employees. Some of the servants are confused and sad when he goes without saying goodbye since they have a suspicion that he may be more than just the gardener or groom. When everything is revealed in the final chapters, the riddles of why Richard died, who Paul is, and how those things are connected are still unsolved.

When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing. Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument. For Rumelt, the heart of good strategy is insight into the hidden power in any situation, and into an appropriate response - whether launching a new product, fighting a war or putting a man on the moon. Drawing on examples of the good and the bad from across all sectors and all ages, he shows how this insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools that lead to better thinking and better strategy, strategy that cuts through the hype and gets results.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with a darkly inventive portrait of a city under occupation and on the verge of revolution.There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration?Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood – that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the gateway to a thousand worse places. Ilmar, City of Long Shadows. City of Bad Decisions.

The future may still be unpredictable, but nowadays, disasters are not. We live in a time of constant, consistent catastrophe, where things more often go wrong than they go right. So why do we still fumble when disaster hits? Why are we always one step behind?In The Devil Never Sleeps, Juliette Kayyem lays the groundwork for a new approach to dealing with disasters.Presenting the basic themes of crisis management, Kayyem amends the principles we rely on far too easily. Instead, she offers us a new framework to anticipate the "devil's" inevitable return, highlighting the leadership deficiencies we need to overcome and the forward thinking we need to harness. It's no longer about preventing a disaster from occurring, but learning how to use the tools at our disposal to minimize the consequences when it does.Filled with personal anecdotes and real-life examples from natural disasters like the California wildfires to man-made ones like the Boeing 737 MAX crisis, The Devil Never Sleeps is a guide for governments, businesses, and individuals alike on how to alter our thinking so that we can develop effective strategies in the face of perpetual catastrophe.

We spend our lives gathering - first in classrooms and then in meetings, weddings, conferences and away days. Yet so many of us spend this time in underwhelming moments that fail to engage us, inspire us, or connect us. We've all sat in meetings where people talk past each other or go through the motions and others which galvanize a team and remind everyone why they first took the job. We've been to weddings that were deeply moving and others that were run-of-the-mill and simply faded away. Why do some moments take off and others fizzle? What's the difference between the gatherings that inspire you and the ones that don't? In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker gets to the heart of these questions and reveals how to design a transformative gathering. An expert on organizing successful gatherings whether in conference centres or her living room, Parker shows us how to create moving, magical, mind-changing experiences - even in spaces where we've come to expect little.

'A fascinating hybrid. Part freewheeling history of the rise of the modern autonomous vehicle, part intimate memoir from an insider who was on the front lines for much of that history, Autonomy will more than bring readers up to speed on one of today's most closely watched technologies' Brian Merchant, author of The One Device From the ultimate insider - a former General Motors executive and current advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car project - comes the definitive story of the race between Google, Tesla and Uber to create the driverless car. We stand on the brink of a technological revolution. In the near future, most of us will not own automobiles, but will travel instead in driverless electric vehicles summoned at the touch of an app. We will be liberated from driving, so that the time we spend in cars can be put to more productive use. We will prevent more than 90 percent of car crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Autonomy tells the story of the maverick engineers and computer experts who triggered the revolution. Lawrence Burns - long-time adviser to the Google self-driving car project (now Waymo) and former corporate vice president of research, development and planning at General Motors - provides the perfectly timed history of how we arrived at this point, in a character-driven and vivid account of the unlikely thinkers who accomplished what billion-dollar automakers never dared. Beginning at a 2004 off-road robot race across the Mojave Desert with a million-dollar purse and continuing up to the current stampede to develop driverless technology, Autonomy is a page-turning chronicle of the past, a diagnosis of the present and a prediction of the future - the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and to navigating the revolution it has sparked.show less

Be honest: if your job didn't exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren't necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This book shows why, and what we can do about it. In the early twentieth century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services, finance or admin: jobs that don't seem to contribute anything to society. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how, rather than producing anything, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it. This book is for anyone whose heart has sunk at the sight of a whiteboard, who believes 'workshops' should only be for making things, or who just suspects that there might be a better way to run our world.
