Anotace: Tato kniha provede čtenáře krok za krokem světem objektového programování a naučí jej doopravdy programovat. Autor řeší dvě základní nectnosti většiny současných učebnic, kterými jsou výklad objektových technologií začínající někde ve středu učebnice a demonstrace látky na triviálních příkladech. Souběžně s objektovými technologiemi se v knize čtenář naučí pracovat v jazyku Java, především v jeho verzi 5.0. Cockroaches
Anotace: When the Norwegian ambassador to Thailand is found dead in a Bangkok brothel, Inspector Harry Hole is dispatched from Oslo to help hush up the case. Blood on Snow
A Novel
Anotace: From the bestselling author of the Harry Hole series, comes a short, sharp shock of a thriller. Blood on Snow: Drugs. Death. Murder. Revenge - and a hitman with two big problems The Snowman, Phantom, The Leopard
Anotace: With more than seven million copies sold worldwide, and translated into over forty languages, Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole series is an international phenomenon. Detective Harry Hole is a genuine anti-hero: a handsome loner, an alcoholic and workaholic who is tormented in his personal life even as he is revered by his colleagues for his unwavering sense of justice and proven police instincts. Harry’s self-governing, anti-authoritarian style has driven his superior officer at the crime squad in Oslo to call him “the best investigator in the department and the worst public servant.” First-class thrillers with high voltage suspense and complex plotting, The Snowman, The Leopard and Phantom are fascinating journeys into the world of this singular character and the dark criminal minds he pursues to the very limits of his sanity, in Oslo and beyond.

Thunder at Prokhorovka
A Combat History of Operation Citadel, Kursk, July 1943
Anotace: After the defeat at Stalingrad, Hitler had lost his momentum and was looking for a way to regain it. Operation Citadel was the intended means to fulfil that objective. If successful a number of Soviet armies would be destroyed and the front line shortened, allowing for a better disposition of troops and a chance to rebuild Germany's exhausted reserves. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the operational events on both salients. It also includes critical analysis of both sides that points out errors of judgment or application that collectively had an important impact on campaign results. The book is highly annotated to give the reader additional sources to study and to provide additional perspectives to gain as complete an understanding of this critical campaign as possible. Besides an extensive text, the book's key strength is its mapping - 32 full-page colour maps are accompanied by 7 large fold-out sheets of maps, also in colour. Together these specially-commissioned maps provide a remarkably detailed guide to the combat operations. Thunder at Prokhorovka is destined to become an important reference to the Battle of Kursk. 32pp colour maps, 7 fold-out colour maps, 9 tables. Nick Potts, Andrew Kliman
Is Marx's Theory of Profit Right
Anotace: This collection focuses on a long-running debate over the logical validity of Karl Marx’s theory that exploitation is the exclusive source of capitalists’ profits. The “Fundamental Marxian Theorem” was long thought to have shown that orthodox Marxian economics succeeds in replicating Marx’s conclusion. The debate begins with Andrew Kliman’s disproof of that claim. Decay
Civilization
Anotace: For years, medical researchers have worked to perfect the human body. Humans are living longer then ever. They have given the blind the ability to see, the deaf the ability to hear. Growing organs for transplants is no longer science fiction, but they go too far when they try to bring a person back from the dead. After Hitler
The Last Days of the Second World War in Europe
Anotace: On 30 April 1945, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. The following day, his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels also killed himself and the crumbling Third Reich passed to Admiral Karl Dönitz. The Nazis' position seemed hopeless. Yet, remarkably, the war in the rest of Europe went on for another ten days. After Hitler looks at these days as a narrative day-by-day countdown but also as a broader global history of a European war that had seen some of the most savage battles in history. Relations between the 'Big Three' - the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union - suddenly plunged to near breaking point. This book reveals that tumultuous story. After Hitler also looks at the wider canvas of the war and the terrible humanitarian catastrophe uncovered in Europe. It describes those who felt the joy of freedom, but also those who faced a highly uncertain future. As Red Army soldiers joined forces with their British and American allies, Stalin's East finally came face to face with Churchill's and Truman's West. After Hitler tells of their growing mistrust, but also of moments of remarkable goodwill and co-operation - the brief but poignant hope that these great nations could together fashion a new and safer future. This is a fascinating exploration of the brief but crucial period that shaped the emerging post-war world. kolektiv
The Koran
Anotace: The Quran (literally meaning "the recitation"; also romanized Qurʾan or Koran) is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation fromGod (Arabic: الله, Allah). Its scriptural status among a world-spanning religious community, and its major place within world literature generally, have led to a great deal of secondary literature on the Quran. Quranic chapters are called suras and verses are called ayahs. Muslims believe the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad. They consider the Quran to be the only revealed book that has been protected by God from distortion or corruption. According to the traditional narrative, several companions of Muhammad served as scribes and were responsible for writing down the revelations. Shortly after Muhammad's death, the Quran was compiled by his companions who wrote down and memorized parts of it. These codices had differences that motivated the Caliph Uthman to establish a standard version now known as Uthman's codex, which is generally considered the archetype of the Quran we have today. However, the existence of variant readings, with mostly minor and some significant variations, and the early unvocalized Arabic script mean the relationship between Uthman's codex to both the text of today's Quran and to the revelations of Muhammad's time is still unclear. The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in the Jewish and Christian scriptures. It summarizes some, dwells at length on others and, in some cases, presents alternative accounts and interpretations of events. The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance. It sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence. The Quran is used along with the hadith to interpret sharia law. During prayers, the Quran is recited only in Arabic. Someone who has memorized the entire Quran is called a hafiz. Some Muslims read Quranic ayahs (verses) with elocution, which is often called tajwid. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims typically complete the recitation of the whole Quran during tarawih prayers. In order to extrapolate the meaning of a particular Quranic verse, most Muslims rely on the tafsir. The Communist Manifesto
Anotace: The political tract in which Marx presented the core of his philosophy and revolutionary program. Konec
Německo 1944-45
Anotace: Na téma porážky a konce nacistického Německa byl napsán již bezpočet knih. Dosud žádná se však do hloubky nezabývala zásadními otázkami, které se v souvislosti s jeho koncem nutně nabízejí. Co pohánělo Německo k tomu, aby dál bojovalo, ačkoli bylo jasné, že válka je prohraná? Jak rozkládající se hitlerovský stát v rozbité zemi dokázal vůbec dýchat až do momentu, než Rudá armáda stanula u budovy Říšského kancléřství? Proč se německý národ nezachoval jako v roce 1918 a nevzepřel se režimu, jenž jej v posledních měsících vystavil brutálnímu teroru a který celou zemi očividně vedl do záhuby? Proč armáda stále poslušně plnila Hitlerovy nesmyslné rozkazy? Do jaké míry se na sebezničujícím kurzu podílel strach a fanatismus Němců? A jakou roli v agonickém a zarputilém vzdoru třetí říše měl spojenecký požadavek bezpodmínečné kapitulace? Kandahárští lvi
Nasazení amerických speciálních jednotek v operaci Medúza v Afghánistánu
Anotace: Poprvé se obsáhleji píše o jedné z nejdůležitějších bitev války v Afghánistánu. Kniha Kandahárští lvi je zasvěceným vyprávěním z pohledu aktivního velitele speciálních jednotek americké armády, skvělého vojáka, který byl na tomto bojišti nasazen několikrát. Komentář: Rusty Bradley je podle všeho oddaný, statečný a vůbec vynikající voják. Ovšem psát knihy by neměl. Kniha je prezentována jako první obsáhlejší popis operace Medůza, největší operace NATO v dějinách organizace, jenomže ve skutečnosti jde pouze o úzký popis pocitů a fragmentárních zážitků jednoho vojáka speciálních jednotek. Chybí ucelený pohled, souvislosti, přehledné informace, které by v čtenáři vytvořily ten kýžený pocit, že rozumí a chápe. Chápe nejenom, že americká armáda je nejlepší na světě, ale hlavně širší souvislosti. Kniha selhává i v beletristické kategorii "vtažení do děje" nebo "donucení čtenáře přestat dýchat". Kandahárští lvi jsou to zbytečnou knihou; čtenář by se místo toho měl podívat kupříkladu na film Black Hawk Dawn, který je duchem sdělení podobný a hlavně podstatně záživněji ztvárněný. Husitská epopej II

Anotace: Druhý díl se odehrává v letech 1416 až 1425. Rodina Prokopů se rozrůstá a každý její příslušník hledá štěstí jinde; nacházíme je v Táboře, mezi umírněnými pražany, na straně Rožmberků i v řadách pronásledovaných řeholníků. Rytíř Sedmi království
Než začala Hra o trůny
Anotace: Dlouho před tím, než Targaryenové ztratili Železný trůn, dlouho po tom, co přišli z Valyrie a sjednotili Sedm království, ale jen krátce po tom, co říši rozervala vedví a poničila Černožárova vzpoura, křižoval krajem potulný rytíř ser Duncan Vysoký. Anebo Dunk, co vypil truňk? Je totiž hodně nízkého rodu a ke svému rytířství přišel, sám neví jak. The History of the Knights Templars
Anotace: This is a mainstream history of the Knights Templars, written in the 19th century. Addison details the rise of the Templars to become, essentially, the first multinational corporation. The Templars were entrusted by the Church and States of Europe to be the spearhead of the crusades. In the process they gained immense wealth and influence, although individual Templars took a vow of poverty. Jerusalem was won and lost several times by the crusaders through the 12th and 13th centuries. Addison notably cites eye-witness descriptions from both the Crusaders and their Moslem opponents to give a well-rounded picture. After the crusades, and the loss of the Holy Land, the Templars began a quick decline from which they never recovered. Accused of heresy and bizarre secret rituals, the Templars were subjected to torture and the stake. Charles Taylor
Hegel and Modern Society
Anotace: Introduction to Hegel's thought for the student and general reader, emphasizing in particular his social and political thought and his continuing relevance to contemporary problems. Jill Frank
A Democracy of Distinction
Aristotle and the Work of Politics
Anotace: Offering an ancient education for our times, Jill Frank's A Democracy of Distinction interprets Aristotle's writings in a way that reimagines the foundations, aims, and practices of politics, ancient and modern. Concerned especially with the work of making a democracy of distinction, Frank shows that such a democracy requires freedom and equality achieved through the exercise of virtue. Katherine Johnson
Sexuality
A Psychosocial Manifesto
Anotace: The contemporary study of sexuality too often finds itself at an impasse, conceptualizing sexuality either psychologically or sociologically: sexologists and psychologists have tended to point to the biological origins of sexuality underpinned by hormones, drives and, most recently, genetics; in contrast, historians and sociologists point to the social field as the defining force that shapes the meanings given to sexuality and sexual experience. Confronting the limitations and challenges this impasse poses, Katherine Johnson argues for a psychosocial approach that rethinks the relationship between psychic and social realms in the field of sexuality, without reducing it to either. Weaving through an expanse of theoretical and empirical examples drawn from sociology, psychology, queer and cultural studies, she produces an innovative, transdisciplinary perspective on sexual identities, subjectivities and politics that makes an original contribution to key debates ranging from identity politics and gay marriage, to mental health ‘risks’ and queer youth suicide. Embracing ideas from developmental psychology, social constructionist sociology, social and critical psychology, psychoanalysis and queer theory, this original book will be necessary reading for students and scholars of sexuality across the social sciences.

The Crisis of Rome
The Jugurthine and Northern Wars and the Rise of Marius
Anotace: In the later 2nd century BC, after a period of rapid expansion and conquest, the Roman Republic found itself in crisis. In North Africa her armies were already bogged down in a long difficult guerrilla war in a harsh environment when invasion by a coalition of Germanic tribes, the Cimbri, Teutones and Ambrones, threatened Italy and Rome itself, inflicting painful defeats on Roman forces in pitched battle Gaius Marius was the man of the hour. The first war he brought to an end through tactical brilliance, bringing the Numidian King Jugurtha back in chains. Before his ship even returned to Italy, the senate elected Marius to lead the war against the northern invaders. Reorganizing and reinvigorating the demoralized Roman legions, he led them to two remarkable victories in the space of months, crushing the Teutones and Ambrones at Aquiae Sextae and the Cimbri at Vercellae. The Roman army emerged from this period of crisis a much leaner and more professional force and the author examines the extent to which the 'Marian Reforms' were responsible for this and the extent to which they can be attributed to Marius himself.REVIEWS"...interesting account of an obscure but critically important period in the history of the Roman Republic, making good use of the admittedly limited sources to produce a clear picture of a series of wars that genuinely threatened the existence of the young empire." History of War.org. 08/2010"...an intriguing account of one of Rome's greatest warriors..."Military Heritage, 06/2011 Analytical Psychology in Exile
The Correspondence of C. G. Jung & Erich Neumann
Anotace: C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann first met in 1933, at a seminar Jung was conducting in Berlin. Jung was fifty-seven years old and internationally acclaimed for his own brand of psychotherapy. Neumann, twenty-eight, had just finished his studies in medicine. The two men struck up a correspondence that would continue until Neumann’s death in 1960. A lifelong Zionist, Neumann fled Nazi Germany with his family and settled in Palestine in 1934, where he would become the founding father of analytical psychology in the future state of Israel. Presented here in English for the first time are letters that provide a rare look at the development of Jung’s psychological theories from the 1930s onward as well as the emerging self-confidence of another towering twentieth-century intellectual who was often described as Jung’s most talented student. Neumann was one of the few correspondence partners of Jung’s who was able to challenge him intellectually and personally. These letters shed light on not only Jung’s political attitude toward Nazi Germany, his alleged anti-Semitism, and his psychological theory of fascism, but also his understanding of Jewish psychology and mysticism. They affirm Neumann’s importance as a leading psychologist of his time and paint a fascinating picture of the psychological impact of immigration on the German Jewish intellectuals who settled in Palestine and helped to create the state of Israel. Featuring Martin Liebscher’s authoritative introduction and annotations, this volume documents one of the most important intellectual relationships in the history of analytical psychology. Martin Liebscher is senior research fellow in German and honorary senior lecturer in psychology at University College London. His books include Thinking the Unconscious: Nineteenth-Century German Thought. Heather McCartney is a Jungian analytical psychotherapist in private practice. Stephen J. Rosow, Jim George
Globalization & Democracy
Anotace: Combining theory with compelling case studies, this book examines the globalizing world of democracy. Noted critical scholars Stephen J. Rosow and Jim George argue that democracy must be understood not as a unified concept but as a diversity of political responses to specific conditions and political struggles. Doing so reveals how democracy is taking multiple forms around the world in response to neoliberal globalism and the increasing pace and complexity of everyday life. The authors show how the current phase of globalization is destabilizing the dominance of Western democracy promotion as resisters challenge common understandings and forms of democracy. Explaining the theory behind neoliberal globalization and democracy promotion, they consider its impact and struggles against it in South Africa, post-Soviet Russia, India, and Venezuela and other “pink tide” states in Latin America. Rosow and George also examine how digital communications networks, the centralization of security, and the fluid movements of people and ideas are destabilizing traditional democratic theories. At the same time, they give rise to concepts of democracy that focus on new forms of citizenship and democratic participation, a cosmopolitan democratic constitutionalism, cross-boundary political activism, and local and community-based economic and democratic practices.

Mining of Massive Datasets
Anotace: The popularity of the Web and Internet commerce provides many extremely large datasets from which information can be gleaned by data mining. This book focuses on practical algorithms that have been used to solve key problems in data mining and which can be used on even the largest datasets. It begins with a discussion of the map-reduce framework, an important tool for parallelizing algorithms automatically. The authors explain the tricks of locality-sensitive hashing and stream processing algorithms for mining data that arrives too fast for exhaustive processing. The PageRank idea and related tricks for organizing the Web are covered next. Other chapters cover the problems of finding frequent itemsets and clustering. The final chapters cover two applications: recommendation systems and Web advertising, each vital in e-commerce. Written by two authorities in database and Web technologies, this book is essential reading for students and practitioners alike. Bettany Hudges
Helen of Troy
The Story Behind the Most Beautiful Woman in the World
Anotace: For 3,000 years, the woman known as Helen of Troy has been both the ideal symbol of beauty and a reminder of the terrible power beauty can wield.In her search for the identity behind this mythic figure, acclaimed historian Bettany Hughes uses Homer’s account of Helen’s life to frame her own investigation. Tracing the cultural impact that Helen has had on both the ancient world and Western civilization, Hughes explores Helen’s role and representations in literature and in art throughout the ages. This is a masterly work of historical inquiry about one of the world’s most famous women. Wiliam Esmont

France 1940
Defending the Republic
Anotace: In this revisionist account of France’s crushing defeat in 1940, a world authority on French history argues that the nation’s downfall has long been misunderstood. Philip Nord assesses France’s diplomatic and military preparations for war with Germany, its conduct of the war once the fighting began, and the political consequences of defeat on the battlefield. He also tracks attitudes among French leaders once defeat seemed a likelihood, identifying who among them took advantage of the nation’s misfortunes to sabotage democratic institutions and plot an authoritarian way forward. Nord finds that the longstanding view that France’s collapse was due to military unpreparedeness and a decadent national character is unsupported by fact. Philip Nord is Rosengarten Professor of Modern and Contemporary History, Department of History, Princeton University. He lives in Princeton, NJ. Mungo Melvil
Manstein
Hitler's Greatest General
Anotace: Among students of military history, the genius of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein (1887–1973) is respected perhaps more than that of any other World War II soldier. He displayed his strategic brilliance in such campaigns as the invasion of Poland, the Blitzkrieg of France, the sieges of Sevastopol, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, and the battles of Kharkov and Kursk. Marcus Durden
Leopard's Guide - The Tiger I Tank
1942-1945
Anotace: The Tiger I tank, also known as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. H, was Germany’s penultimate heavy tank for most of World War II; and it shocked the Allied and Soviet armies when they first encountered it. The Tiger battled fast moving Shermans in the desert mountains of North Africa, hordes of T-34s on the Russian tundra, and stout British Churchill tanks in the hedgerows of Normandy; all the while dealing with chronic shortages of fuel and spare parts. However, the battlefield is not the only part of the story of the Tiger tank; for in a total war the factory floor is as important as the front-lines. The Tiger had many flaws that ultimately made it a poor choice for this kind of warfare; as it’s prohibitive cost represented not just wasted resources and man-hours; but also wasted opportunities to invest in better air cover or more economical land platforms such as the Panther or the Stug. This book aims to look at the big picture in regards to the Tiger tank; from the evolution of heavy tank doctrine in the blitzkrieg theory (as influenced by the Spanish Civil War) to the German assembly methods that were thankfully unprepared to churn out these armored behemoths. In addition time will also be spent on the Soviet T-34 tank as it is important to understand the primary opponent of the Tiger to know why the designers made the decisions that they did. Numerous photos throughout the book, from all sides, help fully illustrate the impact the Tiger had; and why it was inevitably defeated by the Allies.
