Thatcherová a thatcherizmus - Eric C. Evans

O koľko lepším miestom by bola Británia, ak by barónka Thatcherová nikdy neexistovala! Jej politika by bola menej znetvorená, spoločnosť menej nerovná, verejné služby menej zanedbané a konzervatívne médiá menej zúrivé. Bola by viac zmierená s Európou aj sama so sebou. Thatcherová bola veľkňažkou predsudkov, zlomila chrbticu svojej vlastnej strane a rovnako aj princípy Labouristickej strany. Tento citát z diela Willa Huttona je len jedným pohľadov na Margaret Thatcherovú a jej politické dedičstvo. Britský akademik Eric J. Evans sa pozrel na základné oblasti jej pôsobenia a vplyv na britskú aj svetovú politiku, pričom sa snaží nájsť aj pozitívne stránky jej politiky.Autor sa zameriava na kariéru Margaret Thatcherovej, spochybňuje originalitu aj ideologickú súdržnosť toho, čo sa začalo nazývať thatcherizmus a zvažuje, do akej miery splnila alebo nesplnila svoje hlavné ciele. Medzi kľúčové témy knihy patria privatizačná politika a útok na moc odborov zmena a ovládnutie Konzervatívnej strany dedičstvo vojny o Falklandy vzťahy Thatcherovej s Európou, Východom a Západom zmeny v školstve či zdravotníctve vplyv thatcherizmu na nasledujúce vlády vrátane nových labouristov neoliberalizmus a jeho vplyv na Thatcherovú. Kniha je neoceniteľným sprievodcom zložitosťou a paradoxmi Británie od konca 70. rokov do druhého desaťročia 21. storočia

From Hittite to Homer Bachvarova Mary R.

This book provides a groundbreaking reassessment of the prehistory of Homeric epic. It argues that in the Early Iron Age bilingual poets transmitted to the Greeks a set of narrative traditions closely related to the one found at Bronze-Age Hattusa, the Hittite capital. Key drivers for Near Eastern influence on the developing Homeric tradition were the shared practices of supralocal festivals and venerating divinized ancestors, and a shared interest in creating narratives about a legendary past using a few specific storylines: theogonies, genealogies connecting local polities, long-distance travel, destruction of a famous city because it refuses to release captives, and trying to overcome death when confronted with the loss of a dear companion. Professor Bachvarova concludes by providing a fresh explanation of the origins and significance of the Greco-Anatolian legend of Troy, thereby

Crown & Sceptre: A New History of the British Monarchy, from William the Conqueror to Charles III Borman Tracy

On the eve of Queen Elizabeth II's historic 70th anniversary on the throne, Tracy Borman's sweeping narrative of the British monarchy illuminates one of history's most iconic and enduring legaciesSince William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England's various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain's throne: "shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue's gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs," as Tracy Borman evocatively describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne's occupant been unambiguously English--the Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day have dominated the throne.Appealing to the intrinsic

Kata Judo Leggett T. P.

The practice of Kata Judo, the formal demonstration of throws (Nage-no-kata), demonstration of holds (Katame-no-kata) and demonstration of gentleness (Ju-no-kata) is an essential part of Judo training. Too much emphasis placed on winning competitions can mean that too little time is spent acquiring the self discipline which is at the heart of Judo. The execution of Kata requires a far greater degree of perfection than Randori, or free practice, and can therefore improve standards, and can also be enjoyed long after a person's competitive days are over. In 1993, Trevor Leggett's classic books on Kata were combined in a single comprehensive volume at the request of the British Judo Association and which for many years was the approved text on Kata. This concise text provides accurate move-by-move explanations. With simplified line drawings showing the essential elements of the

Promises of Gold Olivarez Jos

A groundbreaking collection of poems addressing how every kind of love--self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural--is birthed, shaped, and complicated by the invisible forces of gender, capitalism, religion, and so on. But even though the path to love is not easy, it is a path worth treading.Love--or its absence--is at the heart of everything we do, and yet it is often mishandled and misrepresented. In the words of Jos Olivarez: "How many bad lovers have gotten poems? How many crushes? No disrespect to romantic love--but what about our friends? Those homies who show up when the romance ends to help you heal your heart. Those homies who are there all along--cheering for us and reminding us that love is abundant. I dreamed of writing a book of love poems for the homies. "Promises of Gold is what happens when you try to write a book of love poems for the
