Books: Yuval Harari - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century – from the author of the superb history bestseller, “Sapiens”. This book looks at the present and the future. “There is surely no one alive who is better at explaining our world than Yuval Noah Harari - he is the lecturer we all wish we’d had at university. Reading this book, I must have interrupted my partner a hundred times to pass on fascinating things I’d just read.” Adam Kaye Owen Jones – “The Establishment” – “Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process.” Hardly impartial, but an interesting viewpoint.

Dále se zabývá také tématem dospívání a sleduje mezilidské vztahy mezi hlavními hrdiny románu, a to hlavně téma přátelství a otevřeného nepřátelství. Důležité je v této souvislosti prostředí, do kterého je román zasazen. Británii 70. let 20. století je obdobím kulturních a sociálních změn společnosti, a to má bezesporu vliv na vývoj románových postav. Neméně důležité je i prostředí, ve kterém se hlavní hrdinové nejvíce pohybují, a to je škola a edukační systém, který v té době také prochází řadou změn. Annotation The final Work deals With the novel The Rotter’s Club by a contemporary British Writer Jonathan Coe. The book is analysed, and the main focus is on topics such as maturing and the school environment and its influence on the main characters in terms of forming relationships. There are also some important social and cultural issues in the background of the story that undoubtedly have a certain influence on the development of the story and the main characters. Important historical and social changes are explained more in details.

  • Inside the Political Market
    Notes Preface and Acknowledgements 1 Priestley, 1968. Reviewing a book on the latest American campaign tech- niques the same year, Labour agent Terry Pitt warned colleagues that politi- cians ‘will be promoted and marketed like the latest model automobile’ (Labour Organiser no. 558, December). 2 Palast, 2002, p. 161–69. 3 Editorial in The Observer, 18th August 1996. 4 The speech was made to the pro-business Institute of Directors, ‘Mandelson: We sold Labour as news product’, The Guardian, 30th April 1998. 5 Hughes and Wintour, 1990; Gould, 1998. 6 Cockett, 1994. Introduction: Inside the Political Market 1 Coates, 1980; Minkin, 1980; Warde, 1982. 2 Hare, 1993; ‘Top Consumer PR Campaigns of All Time’, PR Week 29th March 2002. Of the other politicians featured the Suffragettes and Conservatives (1979) occupied the fifteenth and sixteenth places respec- tively. 3 Gould, 2002; Gould, 1998, p. 81. 4 Abrams and Rose with Hinden, 1960; Gould, 2002. 5 Mandelson and Liddle, 1996, p. 2; see also Wright, 1997. The Blair leader- ship, like most politicians, deny the extent to which they rely on profes- sionals for strategic input and guidance (Mauser, 1989). 6 Interviewed on BBC1 ‘Breakfast with Frost’, 14th January 1996, cited in Blair, 1996, p. 49. Blair regularly returns to this theme: in his 2003 Conference speech he attacked the interpretation of ‘New Labour’ as ‘a clever piece of marketing, good at winning elections, but hollow where the heart should be’ (The Guardian, 1st October 2003). 7 Driver and Martell, 1998, pp. 158–9. 8 Crompton and Lamb, 1986, p. 1. 9 Almond, 1990, p.
