Mysli ako prieskumník - Julia Galef

Myslíme si, že sme objektívni a že vieme, kde je pravda. V skutočnosti však vidíme len to, čo vidieť chceme, a navyše sme ochotní za to bojovať alebo to urputne brániť. Americká filozofka a spisovateľka Julia Galef to nazýva mentalitou vojaka. Racionalizujeme svoje konanie, popierame realitu, ak nie je v zhode s naším presvedčením, pestujeme si sebaklam. Robíme to preto, aby sme sa lepšie cítili, aby sme si udržali sebadôveru či preto, že chceme byť súčasťou našej sociálnej skupiny.Julia Galef však tvrdí, že pre život je omnoho lepšie mať myslenie prieskumníka. Vyjsť von, preskúmať územie a vrátiť sa s čo najpresnejšou mapou. Zistiť, čo je v skutočnosti pravda. Vedieť posúdiť, ktoré problémy sa oplatí riešiť, ktoré riziká podstúpiť, ako dosiahnuť svoje ciele, komu dôverovať a aký život chceme žiť.Autorka vás v knihe Mysli ako prieskumník zavedie do histórie, do sveta biznisu, aktivizmu či politiky. Svoje myšlienky vám priblíži cez príbehy výnimočných osobností, ale aj cez príklady z bežného života. Spochybňuje populárne motivačné mantry a ponúka praktické myšlienkové cvičenia, vďaka ktorým si môžete trénovať prieskumnícke myslenie aj vy.

William IV: The Last Hanoverian King of Britain Van Der Kiste John

Born in 1765, third son of King George III and Queen Charlotte, Prince William, Duke of Clarence, initially had little expectation of succeeding to the British throne. A brief career in the navy, followed by several years of semi-obscurity and a liaison with the actress Dorothea Jordan that gave them a family of ten children, came to an end with the 'royal race for the crown', requiring him and several of his other similarly unmarried brothers to find wives and ensure the royal succession after the unexpected death of their only legitimate niece Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent. William's wife, Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, failed to produce any children who survived infancy, but despite their great difference in ages she succeeded in taming his previously uncouth manners.By the time he ascended the throne in 1830, the formerly outspoken prince had proved

The most important cosmological predictions are then described: the Big Bang theory, black holes, and gravitational waves. Plentiful historical information is contained throughout

Why do the only men I know carry wet umbrellas and say "Umm?" I'm being starved alive. Quick: the first bookshop for a copy of the Kama-Sutra.Min works at the BBC as a sound engineer, and in theory she's married, but her husband George is so invisible that she accidentally turns the lights off even when he's still in the room. Luckily, she has her friends and lovers to distract her: in Min's self-lacerating, bracingly opinionated voice, life boils down to sex appeal--and of late she's being courted by an internationally renowned opera singer whom she refers to as The Bloater (a swelled, salted herring). Disgusted by and attracted to him in equal measure, her dilemma--which reaches a hysterical, hilarious pitch--is whether to sleep with him or not.Rosemary Tonks--the salt and pepper of the earth--is a writer who gets her claws into the reader with all the joy

Beyond Autonomy in Eighteenth-Century British and German Aesthetics Axelsson Karl

This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, it challenges long-standing teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests.The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key figures: namely, the third Earl of Shaftesbury, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Part II explores the ways in which eighteenth-century German, and German-oriented, thinkers examine aesthetic

Parodontitída

Parodontológia je jedným z nosných odborov zubného lekárstva a samostatný predmet štúdia na lekárskych fakultách. V ostatnej dobe boli do praxe zavedené moderné technológie, ktoré modifikujú diagnostické postupy, dopĺňajú, resp. diametrálne menia doteraz poznanú etiopatogenézu ochorenia, ako aj terapiu metodikou „evidence based dentistry“. Parodontitída je charakterizovaná postupnou deštrukciou závesného systému zubov a predstavuje hlavný problém verejného zdravia pre svoju vysokú prevalenciu . Ak sa nelieči, môže celý tento proces viesť k strate zubov. Dosiahnutie dlhodobej stability terapie pacienta s parodontitídou je jedným z neodmysliteľných problémov v zubnej praxi. Problematika parodontitídy a jej terapia patrí k minimálne publikovaným témam v českej a slovenskej odbornej literatúre. Vedecká monografia vychádza z vlastnej vedeckej práce a bohatého prameňa vedomostí i skúseností naslovovzatého odborníka v celej obsiahlej parodontologickej problematike. Obsah je vyvážený a primeraný, čo sa týka hĺbky aj šírky uvedených informácií. Text veľmi vhodne a pôsobivo dopĺňajú početné a mimoriadne názorné ilustrácie.

Všetko zlato Kremnice

Slovanskí bohovia a mýtické bytosti žijú aj v súčasnosti medzi nami, hoci o ich existencii nikto nič nevie. Dunajská víla Radawa pracuje ako supermodelka, permoníci utajení pod našimi pohoriami dokonca s ľuďmi obchodujú bez toho, aby o tom ktokoľvek čo i len tušil.Jakub je nešťastný mladý muž. Študuje a zároveň pracuje v rodinnej firme, pomáha pri tavení a hutnení zlata. Jedného dňa sa pochytí s otcom pre rozdielny názor na spôsob, ako by mal mladý muž tráviť letné prázdniny, a rovno z taviarne utečie trucovať do hôr. Keďže je celý zababraný od zlata, pomýli si ho permoník s trpaslíkom z Annabergu a zavedie mládenca do podzemnej ríše.Tam sa pre Jakuba začne úplne nový život plný dobrodružstiev a prekvapení.Vy, čo slovanskú mytológiu poznáte, už určite tušíte, že bájne bytosti nie sú len dobré. A čo je horšie, hranica medzi dobrom a zlom vedie cez srdcia nás všetkých, mýtické bytosti nevynímajúc. Preto je tento príbeh nielen o tom, čo Jakub stratil, ale hlavne o tom, čo našiel. Podzemie totiž ukrýva veľmi veľa zlata. Kovového, no najmä zlata vo forme priateľstva, obetavosti a dokonca lásky.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky slovenskýPočet strán 480Dátum uvedenia titulu 2022-09-16Rozmery 218x139x35Hmotnosť 726gTypKnihy viazané

We Knew Howard Hughes: A Collection of Memoirs Wadsworth Aty James Leo

We Knew Howard Hughes is a collection of true stories never before told by five of the people who worked most closely with him from the early 1950s to the time of Mr. Hughes' death; in fact Dr. Wilbur Thain, one of the authors, was the MD who pronounced Mr. Hughes' death on the flight from South America to Houston, Texas. No one knows the real Howard Hughes except those who worked closely with him. Many of the tales that are told are simply that, gossip, media sensationalization, and outright lies. The three main authors, now in their eighties and mid-nineties, know the REAL stories. You will be fascinated and you will discover the genius, the generosity, and the amazing patriotism of Howard Robard Hughes--the real

Lengtonghoih: The Girl Who Wanted the Brightest Star Guite Mercy Vungthianmuang

Richly illustrated in color, this book brings a charming folktale from Northeast India to a global audience.A beautiful young girl named Lengtonghoih, dearly loved by her seven brothers, is abducted by a cruel prince who intends to marry her. This enchanting story revolves around the seven brothers' adventure to save their sister and how, instead, she saves them--with the help of mystical power and magic. While folktales from many parts of India have been widely translated into other languages and have become part of national narratives, such stories from Northeast India--a greatly underrepresented, culturally rich region--remain relatively unknown outside their own communities. This gorgeous book changes that by showcasing a traditional yet subversive folktale from the Paite people, an indigenous community from Manipur. Conceptualized by Richard Khuptong, translated by

Prison Masculinities: International Perspectives and Interpretations Bartlett Tess

This edited book explores prison masculinities, drawing from a wide range of international researchers to highlight how masculinities may divert from the hypermasculine or macho typology typically found in the prison masculinities literature.The book includes a diverse selection of writing on masculinities in and of prison; masculinities experienced by those living within, working, and experiencing prison as well as historical and critical accounts of masculinities from around the world.

Evidenced in writing
