The Underground Reporters
In Budejovice, a quiet village in the Czech Republic, during the Second World War, a plot of land by the river was allocated to the Jewish youth of the village. There, some brave young people decided to create a newspaper. This book chronicles the lives of the young people who were the newspaper's creators and contributors.
Manual Work and Mental Work
Information Text: In the early modern period, numerous texts deal with professions by presenting the knowledge required in each case, individual fields of activity, purpose, origin and prestige. The course of argumentation is humanistic, insofar as it mostly starts from the human being. The ancient idea of the primacy of mental work over manual work is formative here. The importance of Spain results from the fact that the Spanish king Charles V was both emperor and ruler of the colonies in America, i.e. he ruled a world empire by the standards of the time. After discussing some central categories, overall representations of knowledge, professions, and prominent professional representatives are presented. Here, the hierarchization and its relativization by satire is revealing. The mechanical arts and the artes liberales are then presented on the basis of individual professions selected as characteristic examples, each with its own specific knowledge. The higher faculties of medicine, theology and jurisprudence with their representatives form the conclusion.
Crisis
Notions of crisis have long charged the study of the European avant-garde and modernism, reflecting the often turbulent nature of their development. Throughout their history, the avant-garde and modernists have both confronted and instigated crises, be they economic or political, aesthetic or philosophical, collective or individual, local or global, short or perennial. The seventh volume in the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies addresses the myriad ways in which the avant-garde and modernism have responded and related to crisis from the late nineteenth to the twenty-first century. How have Europe’s avant-garde and modernist movements given aesthetic shape to their crisis-la...
WOMEN'S WORTH, PRICELESS
Women's Worth: Priceless focuses on the necessity to protect and promote the human rights of women and girls around the world. As a feminist book written by a man, it is unique in its approach and message. It provides an ethical theme centred on feminism, equity, and social justice. It is a sad commentary on the historical and traditional prejudice against women and girls. In the world's poorest countries, women and girls are among the most vulnerable and marginalized members of society. This goes without saying that women's rights violations are present in every country and at every level of society. Eliminating gender discrimination and empowering women are among the imperatives facing the...
Prime Ministers in Europe
This book examines the changes in the career experiences and profiles of 350 European prime ministers in 26 European democracies from 1945 to 2020. It builds on a theoretical framework, which claims that the decline of party government along with the increase of populism, technocracy, and the presidentialization of politics have influenced the careers of prime ministers over the past 70 years. The findings show that prime ministers’ career experiences became less political and more technical. Moreover, their career profiles shifted from a traditional type of ‘party-agent’ to a new type of ‘party-principal’. These changes affected the recruitment of executive elites and their political representation in European democracies, albeit with different intensity and speed.

Pokušení s Kolombínou
Spolek Kolombína jako soubor amatérských nadšenců, kteří nacvičují divadelní texty a vystupují na prknech, která znamenají svět, anebo studio, kde se vyrábějí erotické obrazy a kde se produkuje pornografie? Vrchní komisař Viktor Madlenka vstupuje do děje v okamžiku, kdy vybouchne stavební buňka, v níž pobýval fotograf a režisér tohoto zvláštního seskupení. Jde o nešťastnou náhodu, sebevraždu nebo úmyslný trestný čin?
Rena's Promise
An expanded edition of the powerful memoir about two sisters' determination to survive during the Holocaust featuring new and never before revealed information about the first transport of women to Auschwitz Sent to Auschwitz on the first Jewish transport, Rena Kornreich survived the Nazi death camps for over three years. While there she was reunited with her sister Danka. Each day became a struggle to fulfill the promise Rena made to her mother when the family was forced to split apart--a promise to take care of her sister. One of the few Holocaust memoirs about the lives of women in the camps, Rena's Promise is a compelling story of the fleeting human connections that fostered determination and made survival a possibility. From the bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters, to the links between prisoners, and even prisoners and guards, Rena's Promise reminds us of the humanity and hope that survives inordinate inhumanity.
