Eamonn Doyle: Made In Dublin
Focused on D1, Dublin's city centre, Eamonn Doyle's three major bodies of work, `i', `On' and `End' - with new and previously unpublished images brought together here for the first time - tell the tale of today's Dublin and, in doing so, tell a broader story of today's Ireland. Setting aside the nostalgia and cliche so often seen in `stories of Ireland', Doyle's vernacular photography is a thrill to the system, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary to paint a striking portrait of a modern and multicultural capital city. Vivified in colour, the commonplace is seen anew, the everyday made epic as the city's inhabitants appear in stark, graphic black and white going about their daily business. Far from pedestrian, Doyle's work is the archetype of good street photography: real life brought to life through the lens and voice of the street.
Punctuating the photography with specially commissioned narratives is the distinctive voice of Kevin Barry, evoking the world beyond the frame: the sights, smells, sounds and sensations of a Dubliner's daily life. Designed by Doyle's longtime collaborator Niall Sweeney, fusing contemporary Irish word and contemporary Irish image, Made in Dublin is one of the most exciting and original books of street photography in recent years.

Queer City
*** A Sunday Times Bestseller ***
In Roman Londinium the city was dotted with lupanaria (`wolf dens' or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels) and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure.
Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music and the horror of AIDS.
Today, we live in an era of openness and tolerance and Queer London has become part of the new norm. Ackroyd tells us the hidden story of how it got there, celebrating its diversity, thrills and energy on the one hand; but reminding us of its very real terrors, dangers and risks on the other.

The Boy At the Back of the Class
Told with heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a child's perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn't always make sense.
There used to be an empty chair at the back of my class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it.
He's nine years old (just like me), but he's very strange. He never talks and never smiles and doesn't like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite!
But then I learned the truth: Ahmet really isn't very strange at all. He's a refugee who's run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And the more I find out about him, the more I want to help.
That's where my best friends Josie, Michael and Tom come in. Because you see, together we've come up with a plan. . .
With beautiful illustrations by Pippa Curnick

Úton
Beat - azaz "ütött", "vert", "szakadt"; beat - azaz egy új zene és új kultúra lüktetése; beat - azaz tiltakozás, őrület, száguldás; beat - azaz egy új nemzedék, amelyik új, spontán, vad és az élet titkának mélyére hatoló művészetet akar létrehozni.
A beat nagy pillanata volt, amikor 1947-ben Jack Kerouac, a fiatal író, aki még csak kereste a hangját, találkozott Neal Cassadyvel, majd többször is beautózták az Egyesült Államok és Mexikó legkülönfélébb tájait - s közben hol William Burroughsnál töltöttek heteket, hol Allen Ginsberggel folytattak hosszú beszélgetéseket, hol nagy szerelmeket éltek át, hol a pillanatnyi testi örömökben, egy kuplerájban vagy a féktelen ivásban keresték a tökéletes elragadtatást, és dzsesszt hallgattak, s aztán újra száguldottak a "jajongó kontinensen" át, valami felé, vagy talán valami - a leples bitang? - elől, aki mindig az ember sarkában jár.
Majd 1951-ben Kerouac három hét alatt megírta utazásaik történetét, az "ős-Úton"-t, az "eredeti tekercset", amelyben lázasan lüktet a beat, de ez a könyv - akkor - nem jelenhetett meg. Hat évnek kellett eltelnie, hogy megszülessen az a szövegváltozat, amelyben aztán a világ megismerte az Úton-t, a beatnemzedék leghíresebb művét. Jóval több ez a könyv, mint egy új életérzés kiáltványa: az ötvenes évek óta töretlen népszerűsége is mutatja, hogy olyan nagyregénnyel van dolgunk, amely elsősorban művészi erejével varázsolja el a mind újabb nemzedékeket.
Az "eredeti tekercs" első magyar kiadása után most új fordításban lát napvilágot a végső, szerkesztett változat is: ebből hiányzik ugyan az "ős-Úton" egyik-másik - akkoriban, az ötvenes években még - botrányosan merésznek számító leírása, s a beatnemzedék híres alakjai mind álnéven szerepelnek, de ezt a veszteséget pótolja, hogy Kerouac számos helyen továbbírta, finomította a szöveget...
Úgyhogy mindkét szövegváltozat ugyanolyan mértékben "autentikus": az Úton valóban végtelen út volt Kerouac alkotó életében: a beat számára az üdvözülés reményét jelentette - mindvégig azt kereste az úton és az írásaival is...

Less is More
'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... If you're looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you.' KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics
______________________
The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is devastating the living world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate change: DEGROWTH.
If we want to have a shot at halting the crisis, we need to restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature and our place in it, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extraction to one that's rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that is fit for the twenty-first century. But what does such a society look like? What about jobs? What about health? What about progress?
This book tackles these questions and traces a clear pathway to a post-capitalist economy. An economy that's more just, more caring, and more fun. An economy that enables human flourishing while reversing ecological breakdown. An economy that will not only lift us out of our current crisis, but restore our sense of connection to a world that's brimming with life. By taking less, we can become more.

Angkor and the Khmer Civilization
The ancient city of Angkor in Cambodia has fascinated scholars and visitors alike since its rediscovery in the mid-19th century. All are wonderstruck by the beauty and multiplicity of the sculptures that adorn its temples and structures and are overwhelmed by the sheer size of Angkor. There is nothing to equal it in the archaeological world.
A great deal was already known about the history of Angkor and the brilliant Khmer civilization that built it thanks to pioneering work by archaeologists and scholars, but our knowledge has now been completely revolutionized by cutting-edge technology. Airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) has revealed entire cities that were previously unknown and a complex urban landscape with highways and waterways, profoundly transforming our interpretations of the development and supposed decline of Angkor. In this comprehensively updated edition of Angkor and the Khmer Civilization, respected archaeologist Michael Coe is joined by Damian Evans, who led this remarkable programme of scientific exploration, to present for the first time in book form the results and implications of these ground-breaking discoveries that are rewriting history

Super Human
From Bulletproof creator and bestselling author Dave Asprey comes a revolutionary approach to anti-aging that will help you up your game at any age.
** New York Times Bestseller **
Dave Asprey suffered countless symptoms of aging as a young man, which sparked a life-long burning desire to grow younger with each birthday. For more than twenty years, he has been on a quest to find innovative, science-backed methods to upgrade human biology and redefine the limits of the mind, body, and spirit. The results speak for themselves. Now in his forties, Dave is smarter, happier, and more fit and successful than ever before.
In Super Human, he shows how this is level of health and performance possible for all of us. While we assume we will peak in middle age and then decline, Asprey's research reveals there is another way. It is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to dramatically extend life span. And the tools to live longer also give you more energy and brainpower right now.
The answers lie in Dave's Seven Pillars of Aging that contribute to degeneration and disease while diminishing your performance in the moment. Using simple interventions--like diet, sleep, light, exercise, and little-known but powerful hacks from ozone therapy to proper jaw alignment, you can decelerate cellular aging and supercharge your body's ability to heal and rejuvenate.?
A self-proclaimed human guinea pig, Asprey arms readers with practical advice to maximize their lives at every age with his signature mix of science-geek wonder, candor, and enthusiasm. Getting older no longer has to mean decline. Now it's an opportunity to become Super Human.
