A bold, optimistic exploration of the relationship between robots and humans based on our history with animals, from a renowned MIT researcherThe robots are here. They make our cars, they deliver fast food, they mine the sea floor. And in the near-future their presence will increasingly enter our homes and workplaces - making human-robot interaction a frequent, everyday occurrence. What will this future look like? What will define the relationship between humans and robots?Here Kate Darling, a world-renowned expert in robot ethics, shows that in order to understand the new robot world, we must first move beyond the idea that this technology will be something like us. Instead, she argues, we should look to our relationship with animals. Just as we have harnessed the power of animals to aid us in war and work, so too will robots supplement - rather than replace - our own skills and abilities.A deeply original analysis of our technological future and the ethical dilemmas that await us, The New Breed explains how the treatment of machines can reveal a new understanding of our own history, our own systems and how we relate - not just to non-humans, but also to each other.

A revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of maths'Lively, satisfying, good at explaining difficult concepts' The Sunday TimesMathematics shapes almost everything we do. But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, historian Kate Kitagawa and journalist Timothy Revell introduce readers to the mathematical boundary-smashers who have been erased by history because of their race, gender or nationality.From the brilliant Arabic scholars of the ninth-century House of Wisdom, and the pioneering African American mathematicians of the twentieth century, to the 'lady computers' around the world who revolutionised our knowledge of the night sky, we meet these fascinating trailblazers and see how they contributed to our global knowledge today.Along the way, the mathematics itself is explained extremely clearly, for example, calculus is described using the authors' home baking, as they pose the question: how much cake is in our cake? This revisionist, completely accessible and radically inclusive history of mathematics is as entertaining as it is important. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Málokdo by uvěřil, že uznávaný vědec a univerzitní profesor fyziky jako dospívající chlapec prošel peklem koncentračních táborů a přežil i pochod smrti. Po šedesáti pěti letech se odhodlal svůj příběh sepsat, učinil tak ale s nečekaným nadhledem. Jen tak se mohl vrátit k událostem, které ho připravily o milovanou maminku, malého bratra i všechny další příbuzné. Zůstal mu jen otec, který ještě před okupací Československa uvízl v Anglii. Spolu si tam nakonec vybudovali nový život. Měl jsem velmi šťastné dětství. Skončilo ovšem příliš brzy a příliš krutě vinou Adolfa Hitlera, já ovšem věřím, že právě na dětství záleží nejvíc. Vzpomínky na něj vytvářejí v mysli jakousi ulitu bezpečí a radosti, do níž se může člověk v dobách utrpení stáhnout. Moje ulita byla plná krásných vzpomínek a jistoty, že mě mí blízcí zbožňovali a milovali. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Publikace zprostředkovává pohled současného vědce na práci svých předchůdců a objasňuje, jak dlouhou a náročnou cestou prošla fyzika, než se stala vědou, jak ji známe dnes. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Tři příběhy tří domorodých kmenů Rukai, Atayal a Pangcah (Amis) nás vrací zpět na počátek ke kořenům tchajwanské domorodé kultury. Tchaj-wan známý též pod názvem Formosa, neboli Krásný ostrov, leží v Tichém oceánu nedaleko čínské provincie Fu-ťien, mezi Filipínami a Japonskem. Zde jej omývá teplý mořský proud Kurošio, který k jeho břehům přináší bohatý mořský život. Hornatý ostrov ležící na pomezí tropického a subtropického podnebného pásu je nejen domovem řady unikátních endemických druhů, ale i domorodých kmenů melanésko-polynéského původu, jejichž kultura vyrůstá v těsném sepjetí s místní přírodou. Příběhy původního obyvatelstva se prochází levharti obláčkoví, černí medvědi ušatí či obávané zmije, jakými jsou ploskolebci nosorozí. Kmeny s nimi uzavírají své pokrevní svazky. Čelenky náčelníků zase zdobí peří bažantů mikádo. Boje, které bojovníci svádí, se vedou proti nelítostným Sluncím nebo obludám, které ohrožují život kmene a teprve s velkým úsilím je lze překonat. Bohatě ilustrovaná kniha dává nahlédnout do ústní tradice melanésko-polynéských kmenů a je určena čtenářům každého věku, od těch nejmenších až po ty nejstarší. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead him there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it's true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, this timeless fable from Kate DiCamillo evokes the largest of themes-hope and belonging, desire and compassion-with the lightness of a magician's touch.

Unikátní třiceti čtyř skladbová kolekce remixů, singlových béček, coververzí a dalších rarit napříč celou kariérou této mimořádné zpěvačky, hudebnice a všestranné umělkyně. V roce 2018 byla kolekce remasterována přímo Kate Bush a Jamesem Guthriem. Kate Bush patří k nejpozoruhodnějším ženám v hudební historii. V roce 1978, když jí bylo devatenáct let, okupovala čtyři týdny vrchol singlové hitparády v Anglii s debutovým singlem Wuthering Heights. Nikdy předtím se na první příčce neumístila zpěvačka, která by si píseň sama napsala. O dva roky později dobyla s deskou Never For Ever ostrovní albový žebříček a stala se první britskou sólovou interpretkou, které se to podařilo. Hned třináctkrát byla nominována... (alza.cz)

eBook: Extravagantní zpěvačka a tanečnice, majitelka nočního klubu, válečná hrdinka, zámecká paní, matka dvanácti dětí, a nakonec bojovnice za práva černochů po boku Martina Luthera Kinga – to všechno byla jedna žena. Josephine Bakerová. Její život byl pestrý a bohatý a nebyla v něm nouze o překvapivé zvraty. I když jí okolnosti nebyly vždy nakloněny, nikdy se nevzdávala. Naopak si vždy šla tvrdohlavě za svým, nepřestávala usilovat o zrušení segregace a zapáleně bojovala za práva obyčejných Afroameričanů. Role, v níž byla stejně významnou a úspěšnou jako v roli okouzlující hvězdy varietních pódií. Poutavé inspirativní vyprávění mapuje téměř celý život slavné Pařížanky původem z chudinské černošské čtvrti v St. Louis. Dozvíte se, jak se z obyčejné tanečnice stala miláčkem Města světel, za co získala vyznamenání od slavného generála Charlese de Gaulla, jaké prožívala milostné peripetie i jak dopadl její sen o „duhové rodině“ adoptivních dětí různých barev pleti.

Příběh o krysaři, jemuž starosta a radní města upřou odměnu za to, že zbavil město krys, a on se jim za to krutě pomstí, je založen na skutečnosti, ale známým se stal až řadou uměleckých zpracování. Po J. W. Goethovi, bratřích Grimmových atd. a před Waltem Disneyem či Viktorem Dykem atd. nejproslulejší verzi tohoto příběhu vytvořil anglický básník Robert Browning (1812–1889). Kniha s původními ilustracemi Kate Greenawayové (1846–1901) a ve dvojjazyčné úpravě vychází v češtině poprvé. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Po válce se Felix Weinberg, aby vůbec dokázal jít dál, rozhodl potlačit své vzpomínky a neohlížet se zpátky. Málokdo by uvěřil, že uznávaný vědec a univerzitní profesor fyziky jako dospívající chlapec prošel peklem koncentračních táborů a přežil i pochod smrti. Po šedesáti pěti letech se odhodlal svůj příběh sepsat, učinil tak ale s nečekaným nadhledem. Jen tak se mohl vrátit k událostem, které ho připravily o milovanou maminku, malého bratra i všechny další příbuzné. Zůstal mu jen otec, který ještě před okupací Československa uvízl v Anglii. Spolu si tam nakonec vybudovali nový život.Měl jsem velmi šťastné dětství. Skončilo ovšem příliš brzy a příliš krutě vinou Adolfa Hitlera, já ovšem věřím, že právě na dětství záleží nejvíc. Vzpomínky na něj vytvářejí v mysli jakousi ulitu bezpečí a radosti, do níž se může člověk v dobách utrpení stáhnout. Moje ulita byla plná krásných vzpomínek a jistoty, že mě mí blízcí zbožňovali a milovali. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Zatímco první díl především definuje pojem "sociální nevědomí" v rámci perspektivy skupinové analýzy, díl druhý přináší příklady z různých kultur, zejména na základě studia traumat a ústředních mýtů. Přináší studie o smyslu tří mýtů: o obětování Izáka, o stavbě babylonské věže a rozbor tradičních příběhů drúzské komunity z hlediska jejího sociálního nevědomí. Autoři pracovali jako zúčastnění pozorovatelé v rámci vlastní kultury. Konstatovali obtížně zvědomování, potřebu rozumět obranným a ochranným funkcím, které pak ovlivňují jednání celých skupin. Skupinová analýza přináší nový způsob porozumění, představuje v rámci společenských věd zcela nový, velmi inspirující pohled. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Kniha Sociální nevědomí přináší texty autorů z celého světa.

Unikátní soubor rodinných dopisů obsahuje dosud nepublikované podrobnosti o postupujícím Holokaustu. Dopisy představují reportážní popis každodennosti ještě před deportací, jsou psány jazykem intimity, rodinné lásky a naděje. Úvodní slovo napsal Andrew Schapiro (velvyslanec USA v ČR v letech 2014-2017) přímý potomek autorek dopisů. Jedná se o strhující sbírku textů, které v letech 1939-1941 psala Paula Froehlich své dceři Irmě do USA. Irma byla se svým manželem Maxem bezprostředně po okupaci postavena před těžké rozhodnutí: zanechat své dvě dcery v Praze s babičkou a strýcem a z exilu usilovat o jejich rychlý odjezd, nebo riskovat jistou smrt svého vysoce postaveného manžela. Max a Irma se rozhodli pro první variantu. Pro české vydání korespondenci zpracovala historička Kateřina Čapková. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
