Gondoltad volna? - Tuti tények és totális tévhitek
Gondoltad volna?
Mindenki tudja, hogy a Mount Everest a legmagasabb hegy a Földön, és hogy egy nap 24 órából áll. Nos, valójában mindenki téved!
Ez a könyv ilyen, és ehhez hasonló tévhiteket oszlat el, és megdöbbentő tényeket tár fel: kiderül például, hogy az aranyhal memóriája kifejezetten jó, az űrben is működik a gravitáció, és hogy valójában miért csóválják a farkukat a kutyák.

The Kingdom of Speech
The 40 best books of 2016 you must read immediately -- New York Post
The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.
Tom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye-opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. THE KINGDOM OF SPEECH is a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech--not evolution--is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements.
From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long-faced, laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech.

Endure: Mind, Body And The Curiously Elastic Limits Of Human Performance
`This book is AMAZING!' - MALCOLM GLADWELL
`If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson's Endure.' - BEAR GRYLLS
How high or far or fast can humans go? And what about individual potential: what defines a person's limits? From running a two-hour marathon to summiting Mount Everest, we're fascinated by the extremes of human endurance, constantly testing both our physical and psychological limits.
In Endure Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science's search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs' legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals-whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid-and reveals that we can train to improve brain response.
An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson takes us to the forefront of the new sports psychology - brain electrode jolts, computer-based training, subliminal messaging - and presents startling new discoveries enhancing the performance of athletes today, showing us how anyone can utilize these tactics to bolster their own performance - and get the most out of their bodies.

Mountains of the Mind
Why do so many feel compelled to risk their lives climbing mountains? During the climbing season, one person a day dies in the Alps, and more people die climbing in this season in Scotland than they do on the roads. "Mountains of the Mind" pursues a fascinating investigation into our emotional and imaginative responses to mountains, and how these have changed over the last few centuries. It is rich with literary and historical references, and punctuated by beautifully written descriptions of the author's own climbing experiences. There are chapters on glaciers, geology, the pursuit of fear, the desire to explore the unknown, and the desire to get to the summit, and the book ends with a gripping account of Mallory's attempt on Everest. "Mountains of the Mind" is a beautifully written synthesis of climbing memoir and cultural history.

Harc a nemzet érdekében
Miért örült Göncz Árpád köztársasági elnök a trianoni diktátumnak? Mit gondolt Markó Béla, az RMDSZ elnöke Verestóy Attiláról, aki a legbefolyásosabb erdélyi magyar milliárdos? Miként próbálta a román hatalom megvenni és lekötelezni az erdélyi magyar politikusokat? Hogyan vált az RMDSZ a román politikai vezetés kollaboránsává? Mikor, kik és milyen célból vezették tévútra az erdélyi magyar érdekképviseletet? Borbély Imre 1996-ig az erdélyi magyar nemzetpolitika, az erdélyi autonómia tántoríthatatlan hirdetője volt, egyben szemtanúja és alakítója a romániai magyar politikai életnek. Életútinterjúja az erdélyi politikatörténet legizgalmasabb fejezeteibe kalauzol el minket, olyan folyamatokba láthatunk bele, amelyek eddig nem voltak ismertek a nagyközönség számára.

Views from the Inside
Svazek Views from the Inside přináší v pěti literárních dokumentech svědectví předních představitelů kultury českého undergroundu.
Stavem hudebního undergroundu 70. let, jeho ideovými východisky a společenskou rolí se zabývá Ivan Martin Jirous ve své, dnes již věhlasné a opakovaně vydávané studii Zpráva o třetím českém hudebním obrození, kterou zde doplňuje vzpomínková stať Paula Wilsona.
Tři následující texty byly psány pro konferenci o české literatuře, která se konala na New York University v březnu 1990. K původním východiskům českého literárního podzemí na přelomu 40. a 50. let se vrací Egon Bondy.
Oblast samizdatové literární produkce 80. let mapuje ve své zprávě o Revolver Revue Jáchym Topol a undergroundová literatura 70. i 80. let je rovněž tématem druhé studie Ivana Martina Jirouse v tomto svazku.
Kniha je doplněna doslovem editora M. Machovce, aktualizovanou bibliografií anglicky vydaných textů, filmografií a diskografií.

Ég és jég
Amikor Jon Krakauer 1996. május 10-én kora délután fölért a Mount Everest ormára, már ötvenhét órája nem aludt, és szédelgett az agyát eltompító oxigénhiánytól. Miközben visszafordult, hogy megkezdje veszedelmes ereszkedését 8848 méterről, húsz másik hegymászó még elkeseredetten igyekezett a csúcs felé, mit sem sejtve az égen gyülekező felhőkről...
Krakauer beszámolója a Mount Everest minden addiginál több emberéletet követelő mászóidényéről szól. Meg kockázatról és felelősségvállalásról, önzésről és segítőkészségről, önhittségről és a természet iránti tiszteletről - és a döntés felelősségéről a hegyek világában, ahol a következmények sokszor beláthatatlanok.
"Tényszerű tudósítás és kínzó önvizsgálat különös elegye. Nincs még egy könyv az 1996-os tragédiáról, mely ilyen kegyetlen őszinteséggel venné sorra az elkövetett hibákat, melyek a mászótársak halálához vezettek." (Newsday)
"Ezt az izgalmas könyvet olvasva átélhettem, milyen érzés lehet fölmászni a világ legmagasabb csúcsára, és azt túl is élni - ami a könyv hősei közül csak keveseknek sikerült. Felemelő és megrázó olvasmány." (Vámos Miklós)

Runer
From a school girl running the streets of London to a world record-breaking athlete racing on mountains, long-distance runner Lizzy Hawker is an inspiration to anyone who would like to see how far they can go, running or not. This is the complete story of Lizzy's journey, uncovering the physical, mental and emotional challenges that runners go through at the edge of human endurance. Scared witless and surrounded by a sea of people, Lizzy Hawker stands in the church square at the centre of Chamonix on a late August evening, waiting for the start of the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.
The mountains towering over the pack of runners promise a gruelling 8,600 metres of ascent and descent over 158 kilometres of challenging terrain that will test the feet, legs, heart and mind. These nervous moments before the race signal not just the beginning of nearly twenty-seven hours of effort that saw Lizzy finish as first woman, but the start of the career of one of Britain's most successful endurance athletes. She went on to become the 100km Women's World Champion, win the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc an unprecedented five times, hold the world record for 24 hours road running and become the first woman to stand on the overall winners' podium at Spartathlon.
An innate endurance and natural affinity with the mountains has led Lizzy to push herself to the absolute limits, including a staggering 320 kilometre run through the Himalayas, from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu in Nepal. Lizzy's remarkable spirit was recognised in 2013 when she was a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year. These ultimate challenges ask not just what the feet and legs can do, but question the inner thoughts and contemplations of a runner.

The remarkable life of Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret who was also a Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation. Anne Glenconner reveals the real events behind The Crown as well as her own life of drama, tragedy and courage, with the wonderful wit and extraordinary resilience which define her.
Anne Glenconner has been close to the Royal Family since childhood. Eldest child of the 5th Earl of Leicester, she was, as a daughter, described as 'the greatest disappointment' by her family as she was unable to inherit. Her childhood home Holkham Hall is one of the grandest estates in England. Bordering Sandringham the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were frequent playmates.
From Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation to Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret, Lady Glenconner is a unique witness to royal history, as well as an extraordinary survivor of a generation of aristocratic women trapped without inheritance and burdened with social expectations.
She married the charismatic but highly volatile Colin Tennant, Lord Glenconner, who became the owner of Mustique. Together they turned the island into a paradise for the rich and famous, including Mick Jagger and David Bowie, and it became a favourite retreat for Princess Margaret.
But beneath the glitz and glamour there has also lurked tragedy. On Lord Glenconner's death in 2010 he left his fortune to a former employee. And of their five children, two grown-up sons died, while a third son had to be nursed back from a coma by Anne, after having suffered a near fatal accident.
Anne Glenconner writes with extraordinary wit, generosity and courage and she exposes what life was like in her gilded cage, revealing the role of her gre
