Shigeru Ban
From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters. According to scholar Riichi Miyake, Ban's work represents "an architectural iteration of Doctors Without Borders."
In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an integral part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the building's overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hanover and the Paper Log Houses in the Philippines, built after Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.
This essential introduction, compiled with Ban's own collaboration, presents his most important projects to date, surveying the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a "committed teacher who is not only a role model for younger generations, but also an inspiration."

Dům ticha
Uprostřed smrtících bažin stojí ukrytý Dům ticha. Poslední naděje pro všechny děti, u kterých procedura vyvolala schopnosti příliš strašlivé, než aby se s nimi dalo žít. Nikdo neví, co se děje za jeho zdmi, jak probíhá léčba nebo kam potom děti půjdou.
Birdie podstoupila všelicos, aby se do Domu ticha vetřela jako služebná. Právě sem totiž vedou poslední stopy její mladší sestry Magpie. Dům ale vůbec není takový, jaký čekala.

Průvodce jižanského čtenářského klubu zabíjením upírů
Patricia Campbellová nikdy netrpěla tak silným pocitem méněcennosti. Manžel je workoholik, dospívající děti si žijí po svém, senilní tchyně vyžaduje trvalou péči a ona sama soustavně nestíhá odškrtávat položky ze seznamu každodenních úkolů. Při životě ji drží jen čtenářský klub, uzavřená skupina žen z Charlestonu, které pojí vášeň pro knihy o true crime. Na schůzkách klubu diskutují se stejným zápalem o masovém vrahovi Mansonovi a jeho Rodině stejně jako o svých vlastních rodinách. Jednoho večera po schůzce klubu Patriciu brutálně napadne postarší sousedka, a tím do jejího života vstoupí sousedčin pohledný synovec James Harris. Je to scestovalý a sečtělý muž a v Patricii vyvolává pocity, jaké nezažila už roky. Když se ale v jiné části města začnou ztrácet děti a policie se k vyšetřování staví lhostejně, Patricia pojme podezření, že James Harris je spíš Ted Bundy než Brad Pitt. V čem je zásadní problém? James je netvor poněkud jiného typu – a Patricia mu otevřela bránu svého srdce i dveře svého domova. Krůček po krůčku proniká James do Patriciina života a pokouší se ji připravit o všechno, co dosud považovala za samozřejmé, včetně čtenářského klubu. Ale Patricia se nehodlá vzdát bez boje, jak dokládá tento krvavý příběh o láskyplných sousedských vztazích, jež se vymkly z rukou. Drákula dupe v záhonech Ocelových magnólií v příběhu o záhadném cizinci, který naruší fádní život ženského čtenářského klubu v jednom malém jižanském městě.

Hotwired
Humans were born to sweat and sweating makes us stronger.
In Hotwired, bestselling co-author of Outlive and science editor Bill Gifford explores how heat can improve our performance and our health. Combining cutting-edge science, personal discovery and practical insights, Gifford reveals how humans evolved to excel in hot conditions and how we ve lost touch with this ancient advantage.
He plunges into the steamy world of Finnish saunas, serves as a test subject in heat labs and tackles a 100-mile bike ride under the blazing Texas sun to show how exposing ourselves to discomfort can expand our physical and mental limits. He even explores how infrared sauna therapy and cold plunging could fight depression more effectively than medication.
And he examines how, in cities around the globe, social saunas are reviving communal wellness.
Whether you want to perform better, extend your lifespan or adapt to a warming planet, Gifford shows you the incredible benefits of reawakening your body s natural adaptability to heat and cold. Hotwired is a thrilling call to reimagine heat not as a threat, but as a tool for strength, resilience and longevity.
Jolted
Most of us are just one event away from leaving our job. Conventional wisdom and lists of the “top reasons people quit their jobs” would have us believe that people quit when the toxic elements of their jobs grow too big or when they spot a better professional opportunity. But that’s only half the story.
In reality, quitting is often triggered by a single event, inside or outside our jobs, that stops us in our tracks and causes us to rethink our relationship with work. These events are what organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz calls “jolts,” and they are the most underacknowledged realities in our work lives today. Jolts represent pivotal moments in our careers, and yet all too often, we respond to them in ways that harm our well-being and success.
In Jolted, Klotz breaks down the different types of jolts we encounter and provides a road map to help us navigate them in ways that improve, rather than derail, our pursuit of the good life through our work.
The Soul Catchers
What if you could come back after death to watch over your loved one, installing yourself in a treasured mug, for example, or perhaps your mother's hearing aid, a diary, or even a climbing frame, to feel the clambering limbs of a beloved younger sister?
Eleven recently deceased protagonists find themselves floating in the afterlife where a nameless ghost offers them a joyous reunion with their loved ones.
But not as you would expect.
In a world where souls linger restlessly around after death, unwilling to depart, The Soul Catchers is a comforting, witty, and surprisingly sensual take on the Japanese folk belief that objects can be inhabited by human presences. Utterly charming and feelgood, Higashi's classic is an original exploration of our eternal reluctance to let go.
My Death
Deeply unnerving and utterly original - the book you will need to talk about. A writer decides to write her next book about a female author and artist unjustly forgotten by history. But what starts as an exciting research project rapidly unravels towards breakdown and horror.
The subject is to be Helen Ralston, an early twentieth-century author who has been systematically written out of history. The narrator sets about investigating her story as an artist, writer and muse to a much more famous man. Amazingly Ralston turns out to be still alive, and although elderly and frail a series of interviews begin.
But a tale about the historic erasure of female voices starts to break down into something even more sinister, bizarre and all-consuming as the narrator uncovers unnerving parallels between Ralston's story and her own...
