A testbeszéd enciklopédiája - Hogyan fejtsük meg az embereket a gesztusaik alapján?
Mondanivalónkat a beszéden kívül gesztusaink, arcjátékunk, testtartásunk - összefoglaló nevükön a testbeszédünk - közvetíti, erősíti meg vagy cáfolja. Aki ennek tudatában van, az sokkal hatékonyabban kommunikál. Ha érti és érzékeli ezeket a sokatmondó jeleket, lényegesen többet tudhat meg a másik szándékáról, mint ha csupán a szavaira hagyatkozna.
A világhírű szerzőpáros, Allan és Barbara Pease legújabb könyvükben élvezetes, közérthető stílusban foglalják össze az alapvető tudnivalókat a testbeszédről. Ne feledjük: miközben elsajátítjuk a testbeszéd tudományát, apránként jobban megértjük saját viselkedésünket is.
A testbeszéd enciklopédiája a kereskedők, menedzserek, üzletkötők, állásinterjúra készülők elengedhetetlen kézikönyve, de hasznos lehet az élet bármely területén: otthon, randevún vagy a munkahelyen.
Test
Egy, a világtól és saját magától elidegenedett férfi élete a felemelkedéstől a mélybe zuhanásig
A lecsupaszított prózában megírt, mégis mélyen megrendítő Test egy magyar származású férfi életének legfontosabb pillanatait követi végig a kamaszkorától kezdve évtizedeken keresztül - bemutatva, hogyan roppantják fokozatosan össze döntéseinek következményei.
A tizenöt éves félénk és esetlen István édesanyjával él egy csendes magyarországi lakótelepen. Új fiú a városban, aki hamarosan elszigetelődik az osztálytársaitól, és olyan eseményekbe sodródik, amelyek örökre idegenné teszik önmaga számára.
Egyedüli társasága a szomszédban élő, férjezett nő, aki nagyjából egyidős az édesanyjával. Kapcsolatuk titkos viszonnyá alakul, amelynek igazi jelentőségét István maga sem fogja fel teljesen, és végül az élete kisiklik az irányítása alól. Vitája az asszony férjével tettlegességig fajul, amelynek következtében őt teszik felelőssé a férfi haláláért. Fiatalkorúak börtönébe kerül, majd később Irakban szolgál katonaként.
Évekkel később egy biztonsági cégnél dolgozik, majd egy milliárdos angol család sofőrje lesz Londonban, ahol bejut a híresek és gazdagok világába, ám rá kell jönnie, hogy a szépség és siker mögött sokszor érzelmi üresség és veszteség rejtőzik. A siker, a szerelem és a gazdagság utáni hajszában mindent elér, amit akar - de a csúcson egy hirtelen tragédia azzal fenyegeti, hogy mindent el is veszít.
David Szalay 2025-ben Booker-díjjal kitüntetett kötete, a TEST igazán mély kérdéseket boncolgat: mi mozgatja az életünket? Mi ad neki értelmet? És mi az, ami végül tönkre teheti? A regény lényegre törő éleslátással, kérlelhetetlen pátosszal és megdöbbentő emberséggel követi nyomon, hogy változó, bizonytalan, egyre erőszakosabb világunkban milyen kitörölhetetlen hatásai vannak a feldolgozatlan traumáknak.
Süticsata a cicakávézóban
"A macskák és a kutyák köztudottan halálos ellenségek, nem igaz? Mégis azt mondják, hogy az ellentétek vonzzák egymást!"
A Mokka Makka kávézó macskás tematikájú süteményeinek az egész környékről csodájára járnak, legyen szó akár a cicás fánkokról, vagy a kávézó rezidens macskáival díszített szülinapi tortákról. Az édességcsodákban jeleskedő Clem azonban jóval kevésbé találja a helyét a konyhán kívül, és egy régi trauma miatt szorongással töltik el a világ kihívásai. A Mokka Makka tulajdonosa, Sylvie úgy gondolja, hogy a fiatal lánynak jól jönne némi bátorítás, így hát elindítja egy neves cukrászversenyen.
Clem legnagyobb riválisa Lucas, a Mérföldes Mancsok nevű kutyás kávézó társtulajdonosa, és hamar kiderül, hogy a két fiatalban jóval több közös vonás akad, mint a cukrászmesterség iránti szenvedély. Túlélheti vajon a közöttük kibontakozó románc a verseny által okozott nyomást és az általuk hordozott sebeket? Clemnek és Lucasnak rá kell döbbennie: ahhoz, hogy valóban közel kerüljenek egymáshoz, mindkettejüknek át kell lépniük a saját árnyékukon.
365 nap Pio atyával
Pietrelcinai Szent Pio atya mindig is arra törekedett, hogy segítse az embereket a keresztény életben való megerősödésben, mert meggyőződése volt, hogy ez vezethet el a kiteljesedéshez és végső soron a boldogsághoz.
Fennmaradt leveleiben hathatós tanácsok olvashatók arra vonatkozóan, hogyan lehet hinni Istenben, reménykedni a megpróbáltatások közepette, szeretni és megbocsátani a felebarátnak, örülni a létezésnek minden körülmény között.
Ezek a levelek a keresztény lelkiség egy még nem teljesen feltárt, rendkívül gazdag kincsesbányáját képezik, és mély szeretetről tanúskodnak az egyszerű és szegény emberek iránt, különösen azok iránt, akik mindennap dolgoznak és szenvednek, és ezzel járulnak hozzá a világ történelméhez.
A kötetben található idézetek - amelyeket Gianluigi Pasquale kapucinus szerzetes válogatott az atya leveleiből - az év minden napján elgondolkodtató, szívhez szóló lelki táplálékkal szolgálnak hívő és nem vallásos olvasók számára egyaránt.

Každý príbeh je príbehom lásky
Môže láska zachrániť? Túto otázku si Alessandro D´Avenia kladie na začiatok svojej knihy a pozýva nás hľadať odpoveď. V tejto náročnej úlohe nám pomáhajú ženy, ktoré spája spoločný osud: stali sa životnými družkami veľkých umelcov. Boli ich múzami, niektoré vernými pomocnicami až na hranicu popretia vlastnej osoby, iné nemilosrdnými rivalkami s nepokojnou dušou. D´Avenia sa pokúša rozpliesť klbká odlišných príbehov a vytvoriť jednu rozprávačskú niť so spoločným menovateľom. Ako správny milovník mýtov sa pritom opiera o archetyp každého ľúbostného príbehu, o mýtus Orfea a Eurydiky, ktorý zachytáva všetky fázy takéhoto príbehu aj s jeho protiľahlými pólmi – láskou a neláskou.

Modernity in Perspective
Draws on the work of the Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa to offer an alternative to Cartesian subjectivity. The normative history of modernity begins with the Renaissance and the invention of linear perspective, which places man, instead of God, at the center of the world. The vanishing point of linear perspective portrays the world from the perspective of the single right eye of a singular subject, and it is this perspective that inspired Descartes's optics and his isolated cogito as the prime example of modern subjectivity. This book returns to the invention of linear perspective to seek another interpretation, offering an alternative to the Cartesian subject. Using the work of Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa, Arianne Conty traces an alternative genealogy of the modern subject, one that allows the world, and the painting, to return our gaze. In elucidating the critique of the Cartesian subject by twentieth-century philosophers Benjamin, Heidegger, Lacan, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Marion, she asks how modernity could be reconceived if philosophers were to take into account the geometric vision of Nicolas of Cusa and how his alternative vision might enable us to escape narcissism and share our world with the absolute other.
Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet
In his final days in office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt invited dozens of friends to the White House for lunch. They had never met as a group, but they had one thing in common: Each played tennis with the president and advised on policy matters. Roosevelt half-joked that the public would never know how much these tennis partners did to make his administration a success. Journalists dismissively called them the "Tennis Cabinet," making light of their contribution, but Roosevelt knew otherwise. This inner circle led the administration's campaigns against corporate greed, investigated public health violations, and formulated consumer protections. They founded environmental conservation policies, prosecuted civil rights violations, and implemented bureaucratic efficiencies that saved the government billions. Roosevelt's tennis mates shaped the nation's diplomacy, ending wars and promoting American interests abroad. Never had a more eclectic group advised a U.S. president. The Tennis Cabinet included legendary frontier lawman Seth Bullock and the starched-shirt corporate lawyer Henry Stimson, who served in five presidential administrations. Texas wolf wrangler Jack Abernathy played with stuffy bureaucrats like Labor Commissioner Charles Patrick Neill and social activist James Bronson Reynolds. The French ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand spun yarns with football hero George Washington Woodruff and Roosevelt's college friend and banker Robert Bacon. James Garfield, namesake son of a martyred president, sipped mint juleps with Supreme Court Justice William Henry Moody. And J. P. Morgan's silver-spooned son-in-law Herbert Satterlee kept company with rugged soldier Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly. For all their differences, these men shared a desire to help the president transform the nation from a parochial nineteenth-century republic into an imperial and industrial global power. They have escaped the attention of reporters and historians only because of Roosevelt's towering celebrity. Turning away from Roosevelt as the singular force behind his administration, it is possible to see how the contributions of his Tennis Cabinet quietly sowed the seeds of the American Century.
Riots and Rebels
The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers. Riots and Rebels is an examination of how they have exercised that power over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza. From the so-called Peasants' Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887's Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain.
The Dutch Republic
The `Dutch Golden Age'', the age of Grotius, Spinoza, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and a host of other renowned artists and writers was also remarkable for its immense impact in the spheres of commerce, finance, shipping, and technology. It was in fact one of the most spectacularly creative episodes in the history of the world. In this book, Jonathan Israel gives the definitive account of the emergence of the United Provinces as a great power, and explains the subsequent decline in the eighteenth century. He places the thought, politics, religion, and social developments of the Golden Age in their broad context, and examines the changing relationship between the northern Netherlands and the south, which was to develop into modern Belgium.One of the principal aims of the book is to counter the oversimplification which characterizes so much history writing today, and to provide a new type of integrated history which draws the different dimensions of the discipline firmly together in strictly non-technical language. The result is a comprehensive and lucid account as useful to the reader primarily interested in artistic and cultural history as to the student who needs a survey of the Republic''s institutions, class structure, and economic development. At the same time it will provide an invaluable aid to scholars interested in new research and new interpretations.
Marzia
From her childhood in Puli Khumri, Afghanistan, to her courageous advocacy on the global stage today, Judge Marzia Babakarkhail weaves together deeply personal stories that resonate with international audiences. Marzia: A Judge's Fight for Afghan Women's Rights takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through the stark realities of life under Taliban rule following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021—navigating checkpoints, relying on secret networks, and making high-stakes decisions in moments where every second mattered. Through vivid storytelling, Marzia brings to life the fear that gripped so many, as well as the resilience that carried her and countless others forward. As a former judge and advocate, Marzia's commitment to justice never wavered, even in the face of threats, exile, and unimaginable pressure. Her story is not merely one of survival, but also of determination and strength. It reflects the broader struggle faced by women throughout Afghanistan, particularly those in the legal system who risked everything to uphold the rule of law and protect others' rights. Through Marzia's journey, this book stands as a tribute to the International Association of Women Judges, honoring countries, governments, organizations, and individuals who refused to stay silent. It is a call to remember, to act, and to stand in solidarity with Afghanistan—especially with its women of justice, whose bravery and unwavering spirit continue to inspire the world. This is not just Marzia's story—it is the story of a movement, of resistance, and of hope in the darkest of times.
