So Youve Been Publicly Shamed
From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, this is a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame.
'It's about the terror, isn't it?'
'The terror of what?' I said.
'The terror of being found out.'
For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they're being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job.
A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control.
Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws - and the very scary part we all play in it.
They Can't Kill Us All
'A devastating front-line account of the police killings and the young activism that sparked one of the most significant racial justice movements since the 1960s: Black Lives Matter ...Lowery more or less pulls the sheet off America ...essential reading' Junot Diaz, The New York Times, Books of 2016 'Electric ...so well reported, so plainly told and so evidently the work of a man who has not grown a callus on his heart' Dwight Garner, The New York Times, 'A Top Ten Book of 2016' 'I'd recommend everyone to read this book ...it's not just statistics, it's not just the information, but it's the connective tissue that shows the human story behind it. I really enjoyed it' Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show' A deeply reported book on the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement, offering unparalleled insight into the reality of police violence in America, and an intimate, moving portrait of those working to end it In over a year of on-the-ground reportage, Washington Post writer Wesley Lowery traveled across the US to uncover life inside the most heavily policed, if otherwise neglected, corners of America today. In an effort to grasp the scale of the response to Michael Brown's death and understand the magnitude of the problem police violence represents, Lowery conducted hundreds of interviews with the families of victims of police brutality, as well as with local activists working to stop it. Lowery investigates the cumulative effect of decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with constant discrimination, failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs. Offering a historically informed look at the standoff between the police and those they are sworn to protect, They Can't Kill Us All demonstrates that civil unrest is just one tool of resistance in the broader struggle for justice. And at the end of President Obama's tenure, it grapples with a worrying and largely unexamined aspect of his legacy: the failure to deliver tangible security and opportunity to the marginalised Americans most in need of it.

Forma-1 sztorik 2009
Ross Brawn és csapata úgy tűnt elő a semmiből a világbajnokság nyitánya előtt egy perccel, ahogyan Pallas Athéné kipattant Zeusz fejéből, annyi különbséggel, hogy esetünkben ez a fej Bernie Ecclestone-é lehetett. És meg is nyerte a világbajnokságot,
miközben Ron Dennis, Max Mosley és Flavio Briatore feje a porba hullt, természetesen más-más módon, okból és időpontban, míg Massáé, amelyért a legjobban aggódtunk a Hungaroring táján, a helyén maradt!

Caesar trónja
Steven Saylor a legújabb regényében a történelem leghíresebb gyilkosságát helyezi középpontba: Rómában vagyunk Kr. e. 44-ben, nem sokkal martius idusa előtt. A római szenátus által élethosszig diktátornak választott Julius Caesar megkegyelmez maradék ellenségeinek és megjutalmazza barátait. Elhagyni készül a várost, hogy légiói segítségével meghódítsa a Pártus Birodalmat. Indulás előtt azonban akad néhány elintéznivalója. Miután évtizedekig nyomozott a hatalmasságok bűnei és gyilkosságai ügyében, és bebocsátást nyert a lovagi rendbe, Gordianus elhatározza, hogy visszavonul. Csakhogy martius 10. napjának reggelén először Cicero, majd Caesar is a házába hívja. Ugyanazt kérik tőle: éleslátása és szimata segítségével derítsen fel egy esetleges összeesküvést a diktátor ellen. De Caesar mást is közöl vele. Mivel egyik legfőbb bizalmasa Meto, Gordianus fogadott fia, hálája jeléül olyan kitüntetésben akarja részesíteni a Nyomozót, amely nemcsak az ő életét, hanem az egész családja jövőjét is megváltoztatja. A szenátus következő ülésén, martius 15-én nagy kegyben kívánja részesíteni. Gordianusnak tehát le kell porolnia régi tudományát, és le kell lepleznie a Julius Caesar életére törő cselszövőket. Ha léteznek egyáltalán. Ezalatt viszont másféle összeesküvések is szövődnek. Martius idusa gyorsan közeleg, és legalább egy gyilkosságra biztosan sor kerül.

MoonFire
It has been called the single most historic event of the 20th century: On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins met John F. Kennedy's call for a manned Moon landing by the end of the 1960s. A decade of tests and training, a staff of 400,000 engineers and scientists, a budget of $24 billion, and the most powerful rocket ever launched all combined in an unprecedented event watched by millions the world over. And no one captured the men, the mood, and the machinery like Norman Mailer.
One of the greatest writers of the 20th Century, Norman Mailer was hired by LIFE magazine in 1969 to cover the Moon shot. He enhanced his reportage in the brilliantly crafted book, Of a Fire on the Moon, which is excerpted here. Equally adept at examining the science of space travel and the psychology of the men involved—from Saturn V rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, to the crucial NASA support staff, to the three astronauts—Mailer provides provocative and trenchant insights into this epoch-making event.
Illustrating this volume are hundreds of photographs and maps from the NASA vaults, magazine archives, and private collections. These images document the development of the agency and the mission, life inside the command module and on the Moon’s surface, and the world’s jubilant reaction to the landing. This edition includes an original introduction by Colum McCann and captions by leading Apollo 11 experts, explaining the history and science behind the images, citing the mission log and publications of the day, and post-flight astronaut interviews.
The book you couldn't get your hands on is finally available as the first publication in TASCHEN's new series of GOLDEN BOOKS, created to celebrate the company's 30th anniversary! Originally published as a TASCHEN Limited Edition, Norman Mailer's MoonFire sold out instantly and earned accolades from publications the world over.

Madárdal
Egy nagy háború... és egy nagy szerelem története.
Seabastian Faulks 1993-as regénye a legnagyobb első világháborús könyvsiker a Nyugaton a helyzet változatlan óta: a BBC közel egymillió szavazós Nagy Könyv versenyén a tizenharmadik helyen végzett, közvetlenül az Üvöltő szelek mögött, megelőzve a Zabhegyező-t és A hobbit-ot. 2012-ben nagy sikerű BBC-film is készült belőle, és - ha a kényes ízlésű Faulks zöld utat ad a projektnek, ami egyelőre még nem biztos - jön majd a hollywoody film is az új Majmok bolygójá-t jegyző Rupert Wyatt rendezésében.
A Madárdal főhőse Stephen Wraysford, az ő életének legfontosabb állomásait követi nyomon a három idősíkon futó regény. Először Pikárdiában találkozunk vele, 1910-ben - épp egy helybéli gyárosnál vendégeskedik, hogy kitanulja a textilkereskedelem mesterségét. Itt beleszeret szállásadójának feleségébe, és ez a szerelem visszavonhatatlanul megváltoztatja az életét. Az első világháború idején Stephent ismét Pikárdiába veti a sors, ezúttal a nyugati fronton harcoló katonaként. Később, a hetvenes évek végén unokája, Elizabeth rábukkan a fronton titkosírással írt naplóira, és a fejébe veszi, hogy utánajár a nagyapa rejtélyes múltjának...
A Madárdal egyedülállóan mai mű az első világháború tekintélyes méretű irodalmában. Igazi háborús nagyregény, amely azonban szakít az elődök által követett hősies-szentimentális hagyománnyal, és a második világháború után felnőtt írógeneráció tudásával olyan határtapasztalatként láttatja a háborút, amely jóvátehetetlenül szétroncsolja a normalitásba vetett hitünk alapjait.

Marius, le fils de César, patron du bar de la Marine, est partagé entre son amour pour Fanny la petite marchande de coquillages, et son désir de prendre la ruer, de parcourir le monde... Lorsque Marcel Pagnol, en 1929, fait représenter Marius sur une scne parisienne, sans doute ne se doute-t-il pas que ses personnages deviendront aussi célbres qu'Harpagon ou monsieur Jourdain. Deux ans plus tard, Pagnol et Alexander Korda en tirent un film, Raimu, Charpin, Orane Demazis, Pierre Fresnay reprennent leurs rôles, et la pellicule les immortalise. Ils feront le tour de la terre.... Quand tu me parles sur ce ton, quand lu m'espinches comme si j'étais un scélérat... Je ne dis pas que je vais pleurer, non, mais moralement, tu me fends le cur. " "

Sons and Lovers (Oxford World´s Classics)
Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community and by a family where feelings are never hidden for long. When the marriage between Walter Morel and his sensitive, high-minded wife begins to break down, the bitterness of their frustration seeps into their children's lives. Their second son, Paul, craves the warmth of family and community, but knows that he must sacrifice everything in the struggle for independence if he is not to repeat his parents' failure. Lawrence's powerful description of Paul's single-minded efforts to define himself sexually and emotionally through relationships with two women - the innocent, old-fashioned Miriam Leivers and the experienced, provocatively modern Clara Dawes - makes this a novel as much for the beginning of the twenty-first century as it was for the beginning of the twentieth.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Over 1 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is-a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited-"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Last Days Of Night
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling novel based on actual events, about the nature of genius, the cost of ambition, and the battle to electrify America—from the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game and author of The Sherlockian NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER • SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING EDDIE REDMAYNE New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country? The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society—the glittering parties in Gramercy Park mansions, and the more insidious dealings done behind closed doors. The task facing him is beyond daunting. Edison is a wily, dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies, newspapers in his pocket, and the backing of J. P. Morgan himself. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous adversary a compulsion to win at all costs. How will he do it? In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison, and with Agnes Huntington, a beautiful opera singer who proves to be a flawless performer on stage and off. As Paul takes greater and greater risks, he’ll find that everyone in his path is playing their own game, and no one is quite who they seem. Praise for The Last Days of Night “A satisfying romp . . . Takes place against a backdrop rich with period detail . . . Works wonderfully as an entertainment . . . As it charges forward, the novel leaves no dot unconnected.”—Noah Hawley, The New York Times Book Review “This captivating historical novel illuminates a fascinating American moment.”—People “A fascinating portrait of American inventors . . . Moore crafts a compelling narrative out of [Paul] Cravath’s cunning legal maneuvers and [Nikola] Tesla’s world-changing tinkering, while a story line on opera singer Agnes Huntington has the mysterious glamour of The Great Gatsby. . . . Moore weaves a complex web. . . . He conjures Gilded Age New York City so vividly, it feels like only yesterday.”—Entertainment Weekly “A model of superior historical fiction . . . Graham Moore digs deep into long-forgotten facts to give us an exciting, sometimes astonishing story of two geniuses locked in a brutal battle to change the world. . . . [A] brilliant journey into the past.”—The Washington Post “Mesmerizing, clever, and absolutely crackling, The Last Days of Night is a triumph of imagination. Graham Moore has chosen Gilded Age New York as his playground, with outsized characters—Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse—as his players. The result is a beautifully researched, endlessly entertaining novel that will leave you buzzing.”—Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl “It’s part legal thriller, part tour of a magical time—the age of wonder—and once you’ve finished it, you’ll find it hard to return to the world of now.”—Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City

Wright vol.2 Complete Works 1917-1942 Works 1917-1942
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is widely considered the greatest American architect of all time; his work ushered in the modern era and remains highly influential today—half a century after his death. TASCHEN's three-volume monograph covers all his designs (numbering approximately 1100), realized and unrealized. Made in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, this collection leaves no stone unturned in examining and paying tribute to Wright's astonishing life and work.
Whereas the first volume covers the early Chicago years , this second volume deals with the work after World War I, beginning with the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and covering Wright’s quest to design affordable houses with systematic construction methods and the Usonian concept house, with the forest-sited villa Fallingwater being the dramatic climax.
The years spent working in Japan were followed by personal turmoil. In late 1922, Wright divorced from first wife Catherine, and the following year married Miriam Noel. Yet barely six months later she left, initiating a bitter divorce. Shortly after, Wright met his third wife, Olgivanna. During this difficult period a second fire at Taliesin strained his already parlous finances; the bank foreclosed, leaving him without home or studio. With nowhere to practice, he started writing magazine articles, and his autobiography (published in 1932 to great acclaim).
From 1917 through the Depression, up until 1942, though he designed continually, Wright saw many projects go unrealized, but nevertheless had the chance to build on new concepts and in new regions. His block building system led to idiosyncratic works like the famous Ennis house in Los Angeles, and in 1936 he completed the Herbert Jacobs house, using his new "Usonian" techniques, designed to be affordable for the middle-American family. The same year he moved to Arizona where, at the age of 71, Wright embraced his rugged new life in the desert, and with his students started building the Taliesin West complex. After receiving a gold medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects in London, he returned to see his Johnson Administration Building opened to great fanfare, nationwide publicity, and lines around the block waiting to tour inside. Despite adversity, Wright emerged from this era with reputation restored and vitality renewed—as manifested in Fallingwater and the Johnson building—while his Usonian homes began to alter the way Americans lived.
