Temple of Gods
Another brilliant Wilde/Chase thriller from one of the best in the business - Andy McDermott. Archaeologist Nina Wilde's life has fallen apart. Her husband, ex-SAS soldier Eddie Chase is on the run, falsely accused of murder, and her only distraction has been investigating the origin of three strange statues stolen from her just before Eddie's disappearance. When Nina discovers they may be relics from the lost civilisation of Atlantis, it's clear that she has to get her head back in the game, and fast. Eddie, meanwhile, tries to stay ahead of the authorities as he hunts the man responsible for his fugitive status across the globe. A mysterious benefactor offers the information he needs - but the price will put him in direct conflict with his wife. When Nina learns that a Japanese industrialist has obtained the statues on the black market she immediately heads to Tokyo meet him, unaware that Eddie is already on his way. Their arrival unleashes a chain of events that could have devastating consequences for the world, setting Nina and Eddie on their most dangerous quest ever - with the future of humanity itself at stake...

Unbrandable: How to Succeed in the New Brand Space
The Unbrandables are a new kind of consumer: savvy, sensitive to inauthenticity; hostile to relentless, debt-driving materialism; and suspicious of marketing for products they do not want or that are bad for the environment. Yet this is not to say that this demographic always rejects branding. From Muji in Japan, Mojang in Sweden, and Deus ex Machina in Australia to The Village Voice in New York, and even the California-based fast-food brand In-N-Out Burger, brands both new and established have been able to win over a more skeptical set of consumers by recognizing that honesty is the best policy on practical as well as moral grounds. Unbrandable is the guide, as much as there can be one, to imitating these companies successful marketing strategies. Author Adam Stone examines fifty brands and individuals who have learned how to thrive in this new branding landscape by taking a more creative, transparent approach. Each profile focuses on either a brand that works, an industry professional who has adapted to new branding challenges, an individual who can articulate better than any old-fashioned focus group what the new consumer wants, or a place among them, Berlin and Sao Paulo that flourishes on unbrandable principles."

50 Foods - A Guide to Deliciousness
With "50 Foods," noted authority Edward Behr has created the definitive guide to the foods every food lover must know. A culinary "Baedeker, 50 Foods "will delight and inform the connoisseur as well as the novice. Like Behr s celebrated magazine, "The Art of Eating, 50 Foods "presents simple, practical information about buying, using, preparing, and enjoying. Behr focuses on aroma, appearance, flavor, and texture to determine what the best means for each food. He tells you how to select top quality signs of freshness and ripeness, best season, top varieties, proper aging. If the way to prepare, serve, or eat something is little known, then he explains it (how to open an oyster, why the best way to cook green beans is boiling, how to clean a whole salted anchovy, when to eat and when to discard the rind of a cheese). Behr also names the most complementary foods and flavors for each of these fifty marvelous foods and the wines that go with them. The fifty selections provide a broad sensory range for the modern gourmet. Most of the foods are raw materials, but some have been fermented or otherwise transformed into bread, ham, cheese. Six of the fifty are cheeses. As Behr explains, cheese is probably the best food, as wine is the best drink. Behr argues that food tastes more delicious when it is closer to nature. Skilled low technology is almost always superior to high technology. But with scientific insight, the old methods can be refined to achieve more consistent high quality. We can t always have the best, but with the information in this book we can eat better every day. Knowing good food is part of a complete understanding of the world part of a full enjoyment of nature, a full experience of the senses, a full life. For the connoisseur at any level, "50 Foods "is a beautifully written guide to deliciousness, with color illustrations by Mikel Jaso throughout."

Why we Build
Architecture, good and bad, is shaped by emotions. In Why We Build Rowan Moore shows how buildings are driven by human emotions and desires -- such as hope, power, money, sex, and the idea of home -- and how buildings then shape our experiences. He explores the making of buildings from conception to inhabitation, and reveals the paradoxical power of architecture: it looks fixed and solid, but is always changing, in response to the lives around it. Moore takes us on a personal journey, moving freely across the globe and through history, through works of folly, beauty, spectacle, and subtlety. He uncovers the doomed mansion of an Atlanta multimillionaire, the phenomenally successful High Line in New York, and the remarkable Museu de Arte in Sao Paulo. He discusses baroque churches and Egyptian pyramids alongside works of the moment. We meet extraordinary characters: Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai, the lecherous Stanford White, and Lina Bo Bardi, the most underrated architect of the twentieth century. Refusing to bow to fashion or reputation, Moore gives a provocative and iconoclastic view of what makes architecture, why it matters, and why we find it fascinating. After reading Why We Build you will never look at a building in the same way again.

Sex Lives of Siamese Twins
Lesbian passion, clinical obesity, murder, conjoined twins, and huge servings of food, sex and filthy language: it's the brand-new Irvine Welsh...When Lucy Brennan, a Miami Beach personal-fitness trainer, disarms an apparently crazed gunman chasing two frightened homeless men along a deserted causeway at night, the police and the breaking-news cameras are not far behind. Within hours, Lucy becomes a hero. Her celebrity is short-lived, though: the 'crazed gunman', Sean McCandless, turns out to be a victim of child sexual abuse and the two men are serial paedophiles. The solitary eye-witness, the depressed and overweight Lena Sorensen, thrilled by Lucy's heroism and decisiveness, becomes obsessed with the trainer and enrols as a client at her Bodysculpt gym. It quickly becomes clear that Lena is more interested in Lucy's body than her own. Then, when one of the paedophiles she allowed to escape carries out a heinous sex attack, Lucy's transition from hero to villain is complete. When Lucy imprisons Lena in her mother's deserted real-estate blocks downtown, and can't stop thinking about the sex lives of Siamese twins, the real problems start...In the aggressive, drill-sergeant trainer, Lucy Brennan, and the needy, manipulative Lena Sorensen, Irvine Welsh has created two of his most memorable female protagonists, and one of the most bizarre, sado-masochistic folie a deux in contemporary fiction. The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into two great obsessions of our time, personal training regimes and real estate - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.

A furfangos nyuszi
Fésűs Éva újabb történetei a Kerekerdő szélére, a Meserétre hívnak benneteket. Oda, ahol a furfangos nyulak átjárnak a rókák eszén, ahol Tüske Böske, a sündisznó inkább hisz Rászedi Rókának, minthogy bízna a barátaiban. A Meserét lakóitól megtanulhatjuk, hogyan segítsünk annak, aki bajba jutott - akármilyen is a viselkedése -, hogy a hazugság csak újabb hazugságot szül, és hogy mindenért meg kell dolgozni.
"A meséken keresztül a gyerekek könnyedén megtanulhatják az alapvető illemszabályokat, a figyelmes, segítőkész viselkedést, valamint azt, hogy fontos a bizalom, önmagunk megbecsülése és az őszinte barátság.
Ajánlom minden szülőnek és gyereknek, aki szereti a tanulságos és mégis humoros állatmeséket."

A hódító
Inkább a halál, mint a megadás
Britannia provincia, Kr. u. 44.
Caratacus lázadását leverték, de a tartományt még nem sikerült leigázni. A törzsek gyűlölik a rómaiak bábkirályát, és nem fogadják el Róma uralmát.
A harc Horatius Figulus optio vérében van. Bajtársai gyakran gúnyolják kelta származása miatt, mégis annak köszönheti az életben maradáshoz elengedhetetlen keménységét. Egy, az ellenséges terület mélyére indított küldetés pedig a végsőkig próbára teszi ezt a keménységet, illetve Figulus és az emberei bátorságát.
Figulus a kelták gondolkodásmódját is érti. Tudja, hogy hiába zúzzák őket szét a csatákban, hiába fűzik rabláncra a harcosokat, hiába űzik ki a druidákat az erődjeikből, Britannia törzsei inkább meghalnak, mintsem behódoljanak.
Figulus Macro és Cato oldalán küzdött Simon Scarrow nagy sikerű Római sas-sorozatában. A hódítóban egyedül veszi fel a harcot.

A Force for Good : The Dalai Lama's Vision for Our World
Add to wishlist
For decades, the Dalai Lama has travelled the world, meeting with people from a wealth of countries who differ greatly in their background, social status and viewpoint, bringing them his own individual wisdom and compassion. In his encounters with everyone from the inhabitants of shantytowns in Sao Paulo and Soweto to heads of state in Davos and Washington D.C., the Dalai Lama saw similar problems: a set of values that have helped the very rich to advance beyond the multitudinous poor, a disregard for the environment that could lead to global catastrophe and governments in paralysis, bereft of positive, progressive policies of any sort. Now, as he turns eighty, having built up a profound knowledge of the world we live in today, as well as a penetrating grasp of its scientific context, the Dalai Lama gives us his vision for a better future. Challenging what he sees as a general mixture of cynicism and self-interest, he offers a radically different perspective and a vision that can be assimilated by people around the globe. From cultivating early on a capacity for caring that transcends religious, ideological and national boundaries, to creating an economic system that applies principals of fairness and which values fulfilment, his argument focuses on what is urgent and why it should matter to each of us. In his unique manifesto, the Dalai Lama presents perspective on the world that can bring hope to millions, that will endure beyond the present day and that has the potential to reshape humanity as we know it.
