Ďáblův slovník ekonomie a financí je kniha, kterou lze zařadit do dvou kategorií: kromě literatury faktu také do přihrádky humor. Kniha navazuje na původní Ďáblův slovník, který před více než sto lety publikoval známý cynik Ambrose Bierce a místy připomíná i známého C. Northcote Parkinsona a jeho zákony. Se suchým humorem vysvětluje základní i složitější termíny světa financí: od peněz, dluhů a daní přes akcie, fondy a banky až po manželství, lásku, luxusní zboží a sexuální pracovnice, neboť i tato témata vlastně patří do financí. Stranou nezůstávají ani témata politicko-ekonomická: byrokrati, milionářská daň, Evropská unie, obecné blaho. Cynické definice se mísí s výběrem kuriozit z reálného finančního světa a s řadou citátů. Terčem sarkasmu je ekonomie jako taková od Marxe po rakouskou školu (ačkoli k ní je slovník mnohem vlídnější). Odborníky i laiky pak zaujme vysvětlení, proč moderní ekonomie je tolik na štíru s předpovídáním téměř čehokoli.Slovníkový dodatek „Xenofobův stručný atlas světa“ rozšíří okruh vašich předsudků, pokud máte pocit, že trpíte jejich nedostatkem. Další abecedně řazený dodatek, „Panoptikum slavných osobností a jejich neslavných malérů“, vám poskytne příjemný pocit vědění, že i největší figury světových dějin se dopouštěly hloupých chyb, kterých se vy můžete díky slovníku snadno vyvarovat. Kniha v pevné vazbě je doprovázena četnými ilustracemi a je vhodná i jako dárek pro příznivce tohoto druhu humoru, dále pro pracovníky bank, pojišťoven, finanční poradce a pro centrální bankéře, kteří mají konečně šanci dozvědět se, proč měnová politika nefunguje.

eBook:,The purpose of the present work is to be a handy, ready-to-use aid to those who practice Zen Buddhism rather than a detailed scholarly work destined for „Buddhologists“. To compile an exhaustive dictionary of Zen Buddhist terms in English, Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese is beyond the capability of an individual. Hence, what is offered for daily use of the practitioners is a basic and indispensable „pocket“ glossary of Zen Buddhist terminology, of words encountered in temples and monasteries as well as in some basic literature. The author has received Buddhist precepts in the ceremony of lay ordination on 4. 9. 1989 in Kyoto, Japan. He is also a former professor of Indian studies at the universities of Prague, Heidelberg, Chicago, Utrecht and the Collège de France. Every single entry in the glossary was sent off for criticism and approval to Daitsu Tom Wright, a Zen Buddhist monk and professor at the university in Kyoto, who offered wise advice and critical approval. Needless to say that the author, Dosho K. V. Zvelebil, is most grateful for his cooperation, while being fully responsible for any errors, omissions and inadequacies found in the text.

This dictionary is made for anyone whose mother tongue is English and who wishes to improve their knowledge of real-world Czech. Its aim is to help them find their way around the basic vocabulary of Czech, including the names of various products, and to help advanced learners to broaden their knowledge beyond typical book-learning, offering them a repertoire of expressions that are part of everyday life for native Czech speakers. In short, this dictionary includes widely used spoken expressions that may not be found in standard dictionaries. Over 1,800 entries, represented through color photos and drawings.
