Jimmy Carter Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

In this powerful and personal New York Times bestseller, President Jimmy Carter contemplates how faith has sustained him in happiness and disappointment and considers how we may find it in our own lives. All his life, President Jimmy Carter has been a courageous exemplar of faith. Now he shares the lessons he learned. He writes, “The issue of faith arises in almost every area of human existence, so it is important to understand its multiple meanings. In this book, my primary goal is to explore the broader meaning of faith, its far-reaching effect on our lives, and its relationship to past, present, and future events in America and around the world. The religious aspects of faith are also covered, since this is how the word is most often used, and I have included a description of the ways my faith has guided and sustained me, as well as how it has challenged and driven me to seek a closer and better relationship with people and with God.” Quoting eminent Protestant theologians, in Faith President Carter describes his belief in religious freedom, moral politics, and the place of prayer in his daily life. He examines faith’s many meanings, he describes how to accept it, live it, how to doubt and find faith again. This is a serious and moving reflection from one of America’s most admired and respected citizens.

„Zbig“ osloví každého čtenáře, kterému není lhostejný svět kolem nás. Kniha předkládá řadu osobních vzpomínek, zážitků z neveřejných jednání či dosud nezveřejněných detailů z života klíčové osobnosti americké zahraniční politiky 20. století, Zbigniewa Brzezinského. Editorovi se navíc podařilo k sepsání jednotlivých esejů přivábit významné postavy (nejen) amerického veřejného a politického života, kteří jsou akademiky, bývalými i současnými diplomaty, novináři či bývalými žáky Brzezinského. Díky pestrému složení autorského týmu je částečně biografií, osobními vzpomínkami, historií a akademickou politickou analýzou. Texty rozhodně nejsou pouhou oslavnou hagiografií. Autoři se pouštějí do kritické reflexe myšlení, díla i odkazu Zbigniewa Brzezinského, všechny však zároveň poukazují na jedinečnost jeho příběhu, vlivu a otevřenosti.

Ve své nejnovější knize se bývalý americký prezident podrobně zabývá předsudky, diskriminací, násilím a zkresleným výkladem náboženských textů, stejně jako fyzickým a duševním týráním, chudobou, nemocemi a válkami, a to z pohledu ženské nerovnosti, která existuje po celém světě. Carter ukazuje, že muži často s tímto stavem nesouhlasí, ale mlčí, aby si udrželi dominantní postavení. Společně se svou ženou Rosalynn navštívil 145 zemí a založil neziskovou organizaci The Carter Center, která aktivně působí v polovině z nich. Měl možnost setkat se s lidmi z odlehlých vesnic a dozvědět se o jejich osobním životě, přičemž zjistil, že nerovnost mezi pohlavími roste rychleji a týká se jak bohatých, tak chudých zemí. Carter si uvědomuje, že ekonomická nerovnost je vážným problémem, ale domnívá se, že nejzávažnějším a opomíjeným problémem jsou deprivace a týrání žen a dívek, které pramení z falešného výkladu náboženských textů a rostoucí tolerance vůči násilí a válkám. Podle něj tento příklad poskytly světu i Spojené státy. Carter zdůrazňuje, že utrpení žen má devastující dopad na ekonomiku, neboť brání přispění nejméně poloviny populace k prosperitě.

William Avery, a down-at-heel junior officer in the Company's army, is sent to find him, in the unlikely company of the enigmatic and uncouth Jeremiah Blake. A more mismatched duo couldn't be imagined, but they must bury their differences as they are caught up in a search that turns up many unanswered questions and seems bound to end in failure.

Zbigniew Brzezinski's distinguished career in U.S. security and foreign policy spans academia and public service, including his role as National Security Advisor under President Carter from 1977 to 1981. A respected policy analyst and commentator, he frequently appears on platforms like MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and PBS's "NewsHour," where his strategic insights hold significant weight. This analysis of his statecraft appeals to the general public, students, and policymakers globally. To explore the impact of Brzezinski's political engagement, Charles Gati has gathered reflections from prominent foreign policy figures over the past three decades. A senior scholar in Eastern European and Russian studies, Gati witnessed much of the political landscape surrounding Brzezinski's career. His engaging introduction and a concluding interview with Brzezinski provide a clear framework for understanding the statesman's achievements. Contributors to this work include notable names such as Justin Vaisse, David C. Engerman, Mark Kramer, and Francis Fukuyama, among others, each offering their perspectives on Brzezinski's influence and legacy in international relations.

This edited, annotated diary of President Jimmy Carter provides insights into his presidency, relationships, and enduring impact on significant issues. During his term, Carter diligently recorded his thoughts, impressions, and frustrations in a private diary, offering candid assessments of cabinet members, congressmen, and foreign leaders. He detailed the progress of secret negotiations, including those that led to the Camp David Accords. By the end of his presidency in early 1981, the diary had grown to over 5,000 pages, yet it remained unpublished until now. Through a careful selection of illuminating entries, Carter presents an intimate view of his presidency. We witness his strong advocacy for nuclear containment, sustainable energy, human rights, and Middle Eastern peace, as well as his interactions with notable figures like Ted Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Joe Biden, Anwar Sadat, and Menachem Begin. The diary also reveals the inside story of his "malaise speech," his tough battle for the 1980 Democratic nomination, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Remarkably, Carter has annotated the diary with retrospective comments, reflecting on the events and people that shaped his presidency and the lessons learned. This fascinating work offers a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency, showcasing Carter as one of the truly wise figures of our time.

„Jimmy Carter beschreibt seine intimen Kenntnisse der Geschichte des Nahostkonflikts und seine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit Ploitikern der Region. Behutsam und mit äußerster sensibilität macht Carter Vorschläge, wie beide Völker in zwi Staaten leben könnten ohne das ungerechte System Apartheid oder Angst vor Terrorismus. Die grundsätzlichen Voraussetzungen für eine Zweistaaten-Lösung sind hinlänglich bekannt. Es wird keinen permanenten und substatiellen Frieden für keines der Völker geben, solange Israel mit Gewalt UN-Resolutionen ignoriert und die internationale “„Road Map“„ konterkariert, indem es weiter Sioedlungen auf arabischem Land baut. Es wird keinen Frieden geben, wenn Israel weiter Palästinenser unterdrückt und beherrscht. Israel muß zu den Grenzen von 1967 zurückkehren und diese müssen die offiziellen von allen anerkannten Grenzen des Staates werden. Diese anerkennung ist ebenfalls von den Palästinensern zu erwarten.“

"A Remarkable Mother" is President Carter's loving, admiring, wry homage to Miss Lillian Carter, who championed the underdog always, even when her son was president. A registered nurse, pecan grower, university housemother, Peace Corps volunteer, public speaker, and renowned raconteur, Miss Lillian ignored the mores and prejudices of the racially segregated South of the Great Depression years. She was an avid supporter of the Brooklyn Dodgers (because she happened to attend the first major league baseball game in which Jackie Robinson, from Cairo, Georgia, played), was a favored guest on television talk shows (usually able to "steal the microphone" from hosts such as Johnny Carson and Walter Cronkite), and an important role model for the nation. Jimmy Carter's mother emerges from this portrait as redoubtable, generous, and forward-looking. He ascribes to her the inspiration for his own life's work of commitment and faith.

Heading upcountry in Africa to visit small farms is exhilarating, showcasing dramatic landscapes. However, the journey often leads to rutted dirt paths and requires traveling on foot. The farmers encountered are primarily women, hardworking yet visibly impoverished, lacking access to improved seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation, earning less than a dollar a day, with many facing malnutrition. Despite nearly two-thirds of Africans being employed in agriculture, per-capita production has declined by about 20 percent since 1970. While modern agricultural science significantly reduced rural poverty in Asia, similar advancements, including biotechnology, have been largely excluded from Africa. The author explains why poor African farmers are denied access to productive technologies, particularly genetically engineered seeds that offer better resistance to pests and drought. This exclusion is linked to opposition against farm science in wealthier nations. Having benefited from agricultural science, affluent countries now discourage African nations from pursuing similar paths, often on questionable grounds. The book argues that this cultural aversion to agricultural science is being inappropriately imposed on Africa, with opponents suggesting that it is preferable for African farmers to remain impoverished rather than embrace technological advancements.

President Jimmy Carter offers a passionate defense of separation of church and state. He warns that fundamentalists are deliberately blurring the lines between politics and religion. As a believing Christian, Carter takes on issues that are under fierce debate -- women's rights, terrorism, homosexuality, civil liberties, abortion, the death penalty, science and religion, environmental degradation, nuclear arsenals, preemptive war, and America's global image.

President Carter, who was able to negotiate peace between Israel and Egypt, has remained deeply involved in Middle East affairs since leaving the White House. He has stayed in touch with the major players from all sides in the conflict and has made numerous trips to the Holy Land, most recently as an observer in the Palestinian elections of 2006. In this book President Carter shares his intimate knowledge of the history of the Middle East and his personal experiences of the principal actors, and he addresses sensitive political issues many British and American officials shy from. PALESTINE is a challenging and provocative book. Pulling no punches, Carter prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism.

Tato kniha je první smělý pokus o román, jehož estetické ambice však kolísají někde na pomezí dvou zmíněných žánrů - tedy fikce a historického románu. Autor si pro dějiště svého příběhu zvolil oblast jihu Spojených států, odkud pochází. Právě tam se na konci osmnáctého století odehrávají klíčové bitvy revoluční války, právě tam nechává Jimmy Carter promlouvat svědectví svých předků. To mu dovoluje odhalit nám taje a skutečnosti, které jen stěží nalezneme v historických pramenech.
