The World We Once Lived In
In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement.
From the Congo Basin to the traditions of the Kikuyu people, the lucid, incisive writings in The World We Once Lived In explore the sacred power of trees, and why humans lay waste to the forests that keep us alive.
Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.
The Athletic Brain
Sport changes your brain. The minds of elite athletes can pull off feats of anticipation and co-ordination that amateurs would find impossible. The athletic brain has been trained through hours and hours of practice - years of sweat and toil. But what if there were a shortcut to training your brain?
Cognitive training tools offer the tantalising possibility of breaking the '10,000-hour rule'. Top-level athletes and teams are increasingly tapping into new knowledge of the brain to develop tools and techniques that can offer a shortcut to sporting success, or push the boundaries of performance beyond its current limits. Increasingly, these tools are becoming available to the ordinary amateur, revolutionising the ways in which anyone can improve their skills.
Based on interviews with top athletes and the scientists working at the cutting edge of our knowledge, Amit Katwala provides a fascinating insight into the possibilities that are becoming open to us all. He takes us to see how Borussia Dortmund's 'Footbonaut' and touchscreen-based games in the NFL have been achieving excellent results. As with bestsellers such as The Chimp Paradoxand Bounce, by the end of this book, readers will look at sporting performance in a new light, and be able to apply these insights to their own lives.
Všetko sa raz pominie
Ak je zmena prirodzeným poriadkom vecí, prečo toľko ľudí zápasí s míľnikmi života – od prvého zamestnania a prvej lásky až po odchod detí z domu a odchod do dôchodku?
Žijeme v kultúre neobmedzeného výberu – a život je teraz zložitejší ako kedykoľvek predtým. Uznávaná psychoterapeutka Julia Samuelová čerpá z hodín rozhovorov so svojimi pacientmi, aby ukázala, ako sa môžeme naučiť prispôsobiť a vyťažiť čo najviac aj z menej príjemnejších skúseností. Táto kniha, podporená najnovšími sociálnymi a psychologickými výskumami, sa zaoberá ťažkými obdobiami v rodine, láske, práci, zdraví a identite.
Od ženy, ktorá sa rozhoduje, či opustiť manžela kvôli mladšiemu milencovi, až po otca, ktorý sa vyrovnáva s vážnou zdravotnou diagnózou. A od novej matky, ktorá bojuje s rozhodnutím vrátiť sa do práce, po mladého muža, ktorý sa vyrovnáva s následkami coming outu, a ženu, ktorá začína odznova po strate zamestnania.
Tieto silné, nezabudnuteľné a hlboko intímne príbehy o bežných ľuďoch nám pomôžu pochopiť našu vlastnú jedinečnú reakciu na zmenu a osvetlia spôsob, akým pristupujeme k výzvam v každej etape života.

The Insect Crisis
When is the last time you were stung by a wasp? Or were followed by a cloud of midges? Or saw a butterfly? All these normal occurrences are becoming much rarer. A groundswell of research suggests insect numbers are in serious decline all over the world - in some places by over 90%.
The Insect Crisis explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. We rely on insect pollination for the bulk of our agriculture, they are a prime food source for birds and fish, and they are a key strut holding up life on Earth, especially our own.
In a compelling and entertaining investigation spanning the globe, Milman speaks to the scientists and entomologists studying this catastrophe and asks why these extraordinary creatures are disappearing. Part warning, part celebration of the incredible variety of insects, this book highlights why we need to wake up to this impending environmental disaster.

Nothing will get in the way of Millie Price's dream of becoming a Broadway star. Not her lovable but super introverted dad, who raised Millie alone since she was a baby or her drama club rival, Oliver, who is the very definition of Simmering Romantic Tension.

With the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, Erikson provides all the tools you need to manage not just the narcissists around you but everyday narcissism as well - itself becoming more widespread in this age of social media. Engaging and practical, Surrounded by Narcissists will help you free yourself from narcissistic agendas so you can pursue a happier, more fulfilling and successful life.

O autorovi:
We only see what we are ready to see, and I'm nothing else but a mere medium allowing the flow of that which is within each one of us. Were it not for nature, love, writing and other forms of creativity, my soul would be a mess. In fact, I'm not a writer, nor a musician, traveller, photographer, philosopher, businessman, poet, blogger, or a lyricist... I'm a mere human soul, and therefore miraculous. Just like you. I make my mistakes, I have my lows, I laugh, I hurry and slow down later, only to caress and appreciate life again, to wash in my tears that wonderful gift, which often seems to be the hardest stone of suffering. I have my dreams, I pray for things, I accept and feel grateful. Here and now. There's no other way more beautiful...
