Die Stadt Krumau ist nicht nur eine der schönsten tschechischen Städte mit vielen außergewöhnlichen Sehenswürdigkeiten und schönen Ansichten, die sich zu allen Tages- und Jahreszeiten verändern. Krumau ist auch ein spiritueller Ort, an dem sich viele Einflüsse kreuzten, verborgene und offensichtliche. Die Geschichte Krumaus wurde aufgeschrieben und verheimlicht. Vision von Realität zu unterscheiden ist hier manchmal sehr schwer. Dieses Buch über Krumau will kein normaler Touristenführer sein, sondern es möchte die Stadt aus einer etwas anderen, ungewöhnlichen Perspektive betrachten. Es will den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Esoterischen, also dem Verborgenen, und dem Ofensichtlichen beschreiben. Diese Zusammenhänge sind zum besseren Verständnis wichtig und bilden das, was man seit Menschengedenken als den Genius loci, den Geist eines Ortes, bezeichnet. Der Geist des Ortes verbirgt sich in Ereignissen, die sich hier abspielten, deshalb werden wir einige von ihnen genauer betrachten.

Vademecum of International law, as the label of this textbook indicates, is a brief handbook of public international law. The objective of this textbook is to provide its readers with a coherent introduction into the study of public international law. This textbook therefore explains the main concepts and institutions of public international law. In doing so, where appropriate, the text takes into consideration historic origins and development of the respektive institutions of public international law, as well as the historic development of public international law as a whole. This textbook also deliberately includes extensive quotations of both primary texts (such as court decisions or texts of international treaties) as well as thoughts of influential writers in the respective fields of public international law. The resort to extensive quotations should provide the reader with first hand resources without the (always subjective) deformation of the respektive source via paraphrasing. This textbook is not intended to serve as an all-encompassing textbook or encyclopedia. After all, for that it would be too short in the first place. The objective here is to provide the reader with a basic introduction into the key areas of public international law, foundations upon which one can built further study. The reason is that this book is primarily intended as a main textbook for a one semester course called Introduction to Public International Law taught at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and frequented primarily by Erasmus exchange students for whom English is in most cases a foreign language. In doing so, this textbook leaves out certain areas of public international law that ought to be read elsewhere, inter alia: material maritime law, international criminal law, space law, aviation law, international environmental law, and human rights law. Other areas are discussed in volume and depth appropriate to a one semester course in a qualifying law degree program.

Velký vládce Čechů a tajný vyslanec krále ChlotharaNebýt nedlouhé zmínky v prastaré kronice tak řečeného Fredegara, možná bychom ani nevěděli, že francký kupec a později první známý český král vůbec existoval. Dokázal, co nikdo před ním a málokdo po něm – sjednotit naše předky, dát zemi pevné postavení mezi evropskými královstvími, získat jí respekt a celých třiatřicet let v jejím čele moudře vládnout. Jaká ale byla jeho životní pouť, prostředí, které tu nalezl, kudy se ubíraly jeho myšlenky a smělé plány? Kterak se žilo v době před čtrnácti stoletími, kdy byli obyvatelé dnešních Čech, Moravy a části Rakouska ohrožováni Avary, než se pod Sámovým vedením spojili a stali se svobodnými a posléze i svornými?

Co když ze světa zmizí smrt? Kritický nárůst životní energie způsobuje na Zeměploše zmatek. Vzduchem létá haraburdí, nadávky se zhmotňují do podoby zmutovaných komárů, blábolící mágové čelí invazi nákupních vozíků – a staří ne a ne umřít, ani když jim ostatní „pomůžou“ a zakopou je pár sáhů pod zem. Rodí se odbory nemrtvých a ožívají i kopky hnoje... Kam se poděl Smrť? Neodešel, jak si mnozí mysleli... dostal padáka! Tou dobou se kdesi na venkově zjeví cizinec v sedle ušlechtilého bílého koně a nabroušená kosa ho poslouchá snad na slovo. Inu, na farmě slečny Zahořalé se při žních hodí každý pomocník, a tak se sekáč pouští do práce, i když někdy tak trochu po svém...

„Bylo nás pět? Ne, dva,“ vzpomíná Domek pana Stilburyho na dětství žité s mladší sestrou v rodině herečky a spisovatele. Zčásti stylem Škvoreckého humoristické knihy Ze života lepší společnosti si hoch vede deník, což je první částí Domku. Teprve druhá osvětlí, co idylu umožnilo. Kdo osaměle, oddaně a právě uvnitř magického domku píše naše životy. Ano, pan Stilbury...Ivo Fencl pracoval jako učitel a geodet, napsal přes 440 článků a povídek do deníku Neviditelný pes a další pro Plž, v časopise Tvar (asi 150 příspěvků) uveřejňoval po dobu jednoho roku první český životopis R. L. Stevensona (knižně 2012) a biografií O. Neffa se fakticky stala obsáhlá kniha Královská zábava (2010). Realizoval řadu rozhovorů s prozaiky a malíři, připravil pořady o Charmsovi, Prutkovovi a Wittlinovi a napsal 11 knih.

Pro zvířátka ze Zvířátkovského lesa to měly být Vánoce jako každé jiné. Měly napsat dopis Ježíškovi, ten jim měl nadělit dárky, o které si napsala, a pak si je měla užívat až do dalších Vánoc. Jenomže to by si Liška nesměla přát pod stromeček brčoch. Že nevíte, co to je? Ona to také nevěděla, ale strašně moc si to přála. Kdyby jen tušila, co všechno tenhle tajemný předmět způsobí. Že kvůli němu budou muset pomáhat Drakovi od lásky k princezně. Že budou muset pomáhat trpaslíkům před potopou. Že se budou muset postavit zlé čarodějnici Jehuli, která je všechny začaruje, aby už se nikdy nesmála a byla na sebe zlá a protivná. Kdyby tohle Liška věděla, nejspíš by si brčoch k Vánocům nepřála. Ale to byste si zase nemohli přečíst tuhle půvabnou knihu, a to by byla ještě větší škoda, než když Drak začal brečet a brečel a brečel a brečel, až zatopil celý les.Hravý pohádkový debut Michala Petrova, autora bestselleru RETRO, je bohatě vybaven půvabnými ilustracemi Ivety Autratové.

Gustav Kleinmann, vídeňský židovský čalouník, je v roce 1939 zatčen nacisty a spolu se svým dospívajícím synem Fritzem odvlečen do německého Buchenwaldu. Tam se začíná jejich nepředstavitelný příběh plný násilí, hladu a nucených prací, v rámci nichž budovali koncentrační tábor, své vlastní vězení. Když Gustava zařadili do transportu do Osvětimi, což se tehdy rovnalo rozsudku smrti, odmítl ho Fritz opustit. V časech hrůz, jichž se stali svědky, i utrpení, jež prožili, je naživu držela jediná jistota: láska mezi otcem a synem. Kniha vychází z Gustavova tajně vedeného deníku a je podložena důkladným archivním výzkumem. Poprvé vypráví jejich příběh – příběh o odvaze a přežití, v dějinách holokaustu bezprecedentní. Chlapec, který následoval svého otce do Osvětimi je připomínkou jak té nejlepší, tak té nejhorší stránky lidství, síly rodinného pouta i nezdolnosti lidského ducha.

Příběh péče o partnera s vážným poraněním mozku – kniha o strachu, soudržnosti a vzájemné lásceÚspěšný manažer a vášnivý cyklista Hugh Rawlins je při jedné z vyjížděk na kole sražen na silnici nepozornou řidičkou. Utrpí natolik vážné poranění hlavy, že není zpočátku jisté, zda vůbec přežije – a pokud ano, tak s jakými následky. Jeho ženě Rosemary a dvěma nedospělým dcerám se rázem obrátí život naruby. Z živitele rodiny je náhle bezmocný muž s rozumem malého dítěte, který potřebuje dohled a pomoc ve dne v noci. S obtížemi se rozpomíná na svou identitu a dřívější život, znovu se učí chápat realitu a zvládat nejjednodušší úkony, jako je osobní hygiena a oblékání. A co teprve čtení, psaní, schopnost udržet pozornost, rozumět a rozhodovat se...Rosemary Rawlinsová nachází úlevu v psaní deníku, v němž podrobně a upřímně, dokonce s humorem popisuje každodenní boj o návrat k normálnímu životu a postupné uzdravování svého muže. Nevyhýbá se ani obdobím beznaděje a zoufalství, kdy se mohla opřít jen o neochvějnou víru ve šťastný zvrat. Ten nakonec přichází a Hugh se vrátí nejen k práci, ale také k cyklistice a surfování. Jsme svědky dvou let zápasu naplněného intenzivními zážitky, jež všechny členy rodiny emočně promění, uvolní a otevřou novým možnostem.

Trump, in a call to Bob Woodward, August 14, 2018 'The sheer weight of anecdotes depicts a man with no empathy and a pathological capacity for lying.' - The Financial Times 'Fuelling his narrative is an astonishing cast of rogues, ideologues, self-made millionaires and men in uniform who have spent the past two years in and out of Trump's administration.' - The Sunday Times 'Woodward's meticulous account of office intrigues, the president's men don't seem to be trembling with fright.What they mostly feel is contempt for Trump or pity for his ignorance and the ",teenage logic", of his obsessively vented grievances.' - The Observer 'Horribly fascinating. Strongly recommended. If you can bear it.' Richard Dawkins 'To me the standout message from the book...is that the president is a bit clueless, a bit vain, a bit dangerous even, but his people are utterly at sea...' - Justin Webb, The Times 'He is the master and I'd trust him over politicians of either party any day of the week.' -Peter Baker, New York Times 'His work has been factually unassailable .. . In an age of `alternative facts' and corrosive tweets about `fake news,' Woodward is truth's gold standard.' - Jill Abramson, The Washington Post 'Fear depicts a White House awash in dysfunction, where the Lord of the Flies is the closest thing to an owner's manual.' The Guardian 'I wonder how many journalists have arrived in Washington over the years dreaming of becoming the next Bob Woodward .. . Though his books are often sensational, he is the opposite of sensationalist.He's diligent, rigorous, fastidious about the facts, and studiously ethical. There's something almost monastic about his method . .. He's Washington's chronicler in chief.' - Nick Bryant, BBC 'I've been on the receiving end of a Bob Woodward book. There were quotes in it I didn't like.But never once-never-did I think Woodward made it up. Anonymous sources have looser lips and may take liberties. But Woodward always plays is straight.Someone told it to him.' - Ari Fleisher, White House Press Secretary for George W. Bush With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump's White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies. Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents.The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence. Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the president's first years in office.

One slip, one false move, one missed toehold and you're dead. On June 3rd 2017 veteran adventure journalist and professional climber Mark Synnott was in Yosemite to witness something that only a handful of people knew was about to occur: the most famous climber in the world, Alex Honnold, was going to attempt to summit one of the world's most challenging ascents, a route called Freerider on the notorious rock formation El Capitan. It is a climb extraordinarily dangerous and difficult, and yet Honnold was going to do it 'free solo'.Meaning no help. No climbing partner. No equipment.No rope. Where a single small mistake would mean certain death. To most, it would be an insane proposition.But most are not Alex Honnold, and few know this better than Mark Synnott, which is why National Geographic sent him there to cover the story. Indeed, to summit El Cap free solo was a feat likened to Neil Armstrong first walking on the moon. In The Impossible Climb, Mark Synnott uses his own career as a professional climber, its intersection with that of Alex Honnold and the lead-up to Honnold's historic ascent, to paint a insider portrait of the elite climbing community, exploring what motivates them, the paradoxical drive to keep the sport pure and at the same time to fund climbs, and the role that awareness of mortality plays in the endeavour.We watch through Mark's eyes as Alex plots, trains and attempts his heart-stopping free-solo ascent. Ultimately this is a story not only about climbing but about what makes us human, how we respond to fear and our drive to transcend the inevitability of death.

The maverick philosopher returns to explore today's idealogical, political and economic battles, and asks whether radical change is possibleIn these troubled times, even the most pessimistic diagnosis of our future ends with an uplifting hint that things might not be as bad as all that, that there is light at the end of the tunnel.Yet, argues Slavoj Žižek, it is only when we have admit to ourselves that our situation is completely hopeless - that the light at the end of the tunnel is in fact the headlight of a train approaching us from the opposite direction - that fundamental change can be brought about.Surveying the various challenges in the world today, from mass migration and geopolitical tensions to terrorism, the explosion of rightist populism and the emergence of new radical politics - all of which, in their own way, express the impasses of global capitalism - Žižek explores whether there still remains the possibility for genuine change. Today, he proposes, the only true question is,or should be, this: do we endorse the predominant acceptance of capitalism as fact of human nature, or does today's capitalism contain strong enough antagonisms to prevent its infinite reproduction? Can we, he asks, move beyond the failure of socialism, and beyond the current wave of populist rage, and initiate radical change before the train hits?'Žižek is a thinker who regards nothing as outside his field: the result is deeply interesting and provocative' - Guardian 'Žižek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation' -New Yorker

Historický román Lily Graham přináší svědectví o lidech, kteří vytrvali až do konce a i v těžkých dobách v sobě dokázali najít sílu k boji proti nepříteli na všech frontách.*****Zatímco v nacisty okupované Paříži trpí místní hladem a strádáním, ozývá se z oken jedné restaurace hudba a smích. Její majitelka Marianne zde vaří pro nacistické důstojníky a sklízí jejich obdiv a pochvalu. S vytrvalým úsměvem na tváři připravuje zdravá jídla z Provence a nikdo by neuhodl, jakou hlubokou nenávist skrývá ve svém srdci. Jednoho večera však Marianne beze stopy zmizí a za sebou zanechá jenom mrtvá těla svých hostů.*****O několik desítek let později stojí její vnučka Sabine pod vybledlou zelenou markýzou a dívá se na nápis vyrytý do okna restaurace: zrádce a vrah.*****Skutečně se její babička dopustila neodpustitelné vraždy? Kolaborovala s nacistickým režimem a nezaslouží si tak nic jiného než pouhé pohrdání? Jak úzká je morální hranice mezi spravedlností a pomstou a kdo dokáže bez časového odstupu posoudit rozdíl mezi zločinem a hrdinstvím?

Stalo se to v minulosti už mnohokrát. Profitující firma, tahoun oboru, s odchodem svého zakladatele ztrácí dech a padá ke dnu. Je to i případ Apple? Yukari I. Kaneová, novinářka dříve působící například ve Wall Street Journal, je přesvědčená, že ano. Podle ní smrtí Steva Jobse v roce 2011 a nástupem Tima Cooka do čela Apple začal neodvratitelný pád kultu, který dal světu produkty Mac, iPhone či iPad. „Jablko je odsouzeno k zániku,“ píše Kaneová a odvolává se na vyjádření autorit – během práce na knize oslovila více než 200 bývalých i současných obchodních partnerů Apple, zaměstnanců firmy i nezávislých pozorovatelů zvenčí. Rozhovor odmítl jen málokdo. Knižních pokusů o nastínění další budoucnosti Apple bylo vydáno již několik, žádný si ale nezasloužil přímou pozornost Tima Cooka. Ten na adresu autorky poznamenal:„ Kniha naprosto selhává v zachycení Applu, Steva či kohokoliv jiného uvnitř společnosti.“ Mnozí se však shodují, že si pouze nechce připustit realitu. Kniha Zakletá říše: Apple po smrti Steva Jobse vyvolává protikladné reakce i mezi čtenáři a odbornou veřejností. Na jedné straně hlasitý souhlas, na straně druhé stejně hlasité odmítnutí. Za přečtení stojí v každém případě. Především pak tehdy, když jste přesvědčeni, že váš názor na Tima Cooka a budoucnost Apple je daný a nemůže jej nic změnit.

Nová kniha autorky úspešného Umenia sovietskej kuchyne je brilantným skúmaním jedla a národnej identity po celom svete. „S nástupom a dominanciou globalizácie,“ vysvetľuje Anya v úvode, „sa národy a nacionalizmus javia zastaralejšie a zároveň dôležitejšie a relevantnejšie ako kedykoľvek predtým.“ A neexistuje lepšia prizma, cez ktorú by sme to mohli vidieť, ako jedlo. Vydáva sa pátrať po pravde, ktorá sa skrýva za večným klišé „sme to, čo jeme“, a to do veľkých gastronomických centier Paríža, Neapola, Tokia, Sevilly, Oaxacy a Istanbulu – so záverečnou zastávkou pri ukrajinskom boršči. V Paríži zisťuje prekvapujúci nezáujem o tradičné francúzske pot-au-feu, pričom francúzski gurmáni uprednostňujú novšie, trendovejšie medzinárodné kuchyne; v Neapole skúma skromné a nesprávne chápané začiatky pizze; v Tokiu ju prekvapí uprednostňovanie ramenu pred tradičným gohanom a konbinizácia spoločnosti; v Seville odhaľuje náboženské dôsledky jamónu a vznik tapas; v Oaxace rozpletá komplikované prelínanie domorodého a európskeho a opätovné presadenie kukurice; a nakoniec ju čaká komplikované dedičstvo multikulturalizmu v Istanbule. Anya sa zaoberá týmito ikonickými jedlami svojím zvedavým pohľadom a nezameniteľným vtipom, keď sa rozpráva s kuchármi, remeselníkmi, vedcami, politickými aktivistami a úplne cudzími ľuďmi, pričom sa snaží pochopiť, čo predstavuje „národnú“ kultúru jedla. V knihe odhaľuje a prehodnocuje fascinujúcu úlohu, ktorú jedlo zohráva pri vytváraní kultúrneho dedičstva – s tým, ako sa mení politická a sociálna identita národa, mení sa aj jeho chuť.

Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2023Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy.What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital - and starve it to death.

'This is the book our children's children will thank us for reading' - The Edge, U2 The greatest challenge facing humankind is not climate change, or extreme inequality, or terrorism; it is our inability to think long term. 'The most important question we must ask ourselves is, "Are we being good ancestors?"' So said Jonas Salk, who cured polio in 1955, saving millions of lives, but refused to patent his discovery or make any money out of it. His radical rethinking of what we owe to future generations should be an inspiration to us all, but it has hardly taken root. That's because we're living in the age of now. Businesses can barely see beyond the next quarterly report, nor politicians beyond the next election. Markets spike then crash in speculative bubbles. In this right-here, right-now society, we rarely stop to consider if we're being good ancestors. But the future depends on it. Here, leading public intellectual, philosopher, and bestselling author Roman Krznaric explains how we lost sight of the future, and introduces the six simple, practical ways that we can change our thinking today to give our children, and our planet, a chance at a better tomorrow.

pWe're all familiar with the old saying, Think before you act but how many of us actually do. Or do we sometimes just react or respond with very little thought. Not truly realizing that by answering no to a particular question instead of yes is in many instances just enough to change the course of our entire lives. Hind-Sight truly being 20-20, how many times have you yourself uttered those regrettable words If I coulda, woulda, shoulda. We can all look back on our past and recall at least one event where had we chosen the exact opposite action or reaction, might very well have changed life as we knew it. Some of us chalk up these episodes have you, as what makes us who we are. Sometimes, a simple one night stand or casual sexual encounter brings with it, a change that totally affects our lives. Some minor, while others on a major level. These episodes are the cornerstones of our very essence. So take a moment or two and review this collection of Episodes or building blocks if you will, some that maybe you to have experienced. I wish you Good Reading!p

Shadow of a Mouse: Performance, Belief, and World-Making in Animation (Crafton Donald)

Animation variously entertains, enchants, and offends, yet there have been no convincing explanations of how these films do so. iShadow of a Mousei proposes performance as the common touchstone for understanding the principles underlying the construction, execution, and reception of cartoons. Donald Crafton's interdisciplinary methods draw on film and theater studies, art history, aesthetics, cultural studies, and performance studies to outline a personal view of animated cinema that illuminates its systems of belief and world making. He wryly asks Are animated characters actors and stars, just like humans Why do their performances seem live and present, despite our knowing that they are drawings Why is animation obsessed with distressing the body Why were California regional artists and Stanislavsky so influential on Disney Why are the histories of animation and popular theater performance inseparable How was pictorial space constructed to accommodate embodied acting Do cartoon performances stimulate positive or negative behaviors in audiences Why is there so much extreme eating And why are seemingly insignificant shadows vitally important Ranging from classics like iThe Three Little Pigs ito contemporary works by Svankmajer and Plympton, these essays will engage the reader's imagination as much as the subject of animation performance itself.

Posthumanism in Young Adult Fiction: Finding Humanity in a Posthuman World (Tarr Anita)

pContributions by Torsten Caeners, Phoebe Chen, Mathieu Donner, Shannon Hervey, Angela S. Insenga, Patricia Kennon, Maryna Matlock, Ferne Merrylees, Lars Schmeink, Anita Tarr, Tony M. Vinci, and Donna R. WhiteppFor centuries, humanism has provided a paradigm for what it means to be human a rational, unique, unified, universal, autonomous being. Recently, however, a new philosophical approach, posthumanism, has questioned these assumptions, asserting that being human is not a fixed state but one always dynamic and evolving. Restrictive boundaries are no longer in play, and we do not define who we are by delineating what we are not animal, machine, monster. There is no one aspect that makes a being human--self-awareness, emotion, artistic expression, or problem-solving--since human characteristics reside in other species along with shared DNA. Instead, posthumanism looks at the ways our bodies, intelligence, and behavior connect and interact with the environment, technology, and other species.ppIn Posthumanism in Young Adult Fiction Finding Humanity in a Posthuman World, editors Anita Tarr and Donna R. White collect twelve essays that explore this new discipline's relevance in young adult literature. Adolescents often tangle with many issues raised by posthumanist theory, such as body issues. The in-betweenness of adolescence makes stories for young adults ripe for posthumanist study. Contributors to the volume explore ideas of posthumanism, including democratization of power, body enhancements, hybridity, multiplicityplurality, and the environment, by analyzing recent works for young adults, including award-winners like Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker and Nancy Farmer's The House of the Scorpion, as well as the works of Octavia Butler and China Mi ville.p

Condillac's Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge, first published in French in 1746 and offered here in a new translation, represented in its time a radical departure from the dominant conception of the mind as a reservoir of innately given ideas. Descartes had held that knowledge must rest on ideas Condillac turned this upside down by arguing that speech and words are the origin of mental life and knowledge. His work influenced many later philosophers, and also anticipated Wittgenstein's view of language and its relation to mind and thought.

bFrom bestselling author and award-winning journalist Jo Piazza, comes a transporting novel rooted in the author's own family history about a long-awaited trip to Sicily, a disputed inheritance, and a family secret that some will kill to protect . . .b pSara Marsala barely knows who she is anymore after the failure of her business and marriage. On top of that, her beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, leaving Sara bereft with grief. But Aunt Rosie's death also opens an escape from her life and a window into the past by way of a plane ticket to Sicily, a deed to a possibly valuable plot of land, and a bombshell family secret. Rosie believes Sara's great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn't die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. p Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and learn the story of Serafina--a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly the more she challenges the status quo, the more she finds herself in danger. p As Sara discovers more about Serafina, she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother. At once an immersive multigenerational mystery and an ode to the undaunted heroism of everyday women, iThe Sicilian Inheritancei is an atmospheric, page-turning delight.
