How to Think Like a Philosopher
As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world?
How to Think Like A Philosopher is a revelatory exploration of the methods, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy, and how they can be applied to our own lives.
Drawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews, Julian Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy's guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments.
Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers, and an essential, practical guide to good thinking, How to Think Like a Philosopher shows us the way to a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking, to politics, and to life.

A SCOTTISH BOOK TRUST BOOK OF THE MONTH
THE TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH (HISTORICAL FICTION)
A CHURCH HOUSE BOOKSHOP BOOK OF THE WEEK
An astounding debut, both epic and intimate, about grief, trauma, revelation, and the hidden lives of women - by a major new talent
In the year of 1413, two women meet for the first time in the city of Norwich.
Margery has left her fourteen children and husband behind to make her journey. Her visions of Christ – which have long alienated her from her family and neighbours, and incurred her husband's abuse – have placed her in danger with the men of the Church, who have begun to hound her as a heretic.
Julian, an anchoress, has not left Norwich, nor the cell to which she has been confined, for twenty-three years. She has told no one of her own visions – and knows that time is running out for her to do so.
The two women have stories to tell one another. Stories about girlhood, motherhood, sickness, loss, doubt and belief; revelations more the powerful than the world is ready to hear. Their meeting will change everything.
Sensual, vivid and humane, For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain cracks history open to reveal the lives of two extraordinary women.
Bread and How to Eat It: A Cookbook
This is a book about bread: how to make it and how to eat it at every stage of its life cycle—from the James Beard Award-nominated owner of cult-favorite bakery Bread & Salt.
“What happens when an all-important subject like bread is tackled by one of the most talented chefs and one of the most engaging food writers in the country? Magic.” —Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything
Bread and How to Eat It is a timely revival of cucina povera (poverty cooking)—a bread-centric approach to meal prep that has fallen out of favor in American kitchens and that baker Rick Easton is hell-bent on restoring.
In these pages, home cooks will discover everything they need for baking their own bread (although Easton strongly recommends you frequent your local bakery, as people have for hundreds of years); things to make with bread (Bread Meatballs! Pasta with Bread Crumbs and Cauliflower!); things to eat with bread (Greens and Beans! Dried Chestnut and White Bean Soup!); and, of course, the ultimate guide to sandwiches you never knew you needed (Tuna with Harissa, Eggs, and Olives! Frittata, Artichoke, Pecorino, and Mint!).
A celebration of bread in all its forms—from fresh-baked to stale, from slices to crumbs—Bread and How to Eat It is an eminently accessible, riotously opinionated, and utterly indispensable cookbook for making the most of every loaf.

As the hotel crumbles around them, the family and residents realise it's time to say goodbye. Until they receive the surprise of their life: Mrs Kettle really is a queen and her country has been freed - her people are asking her to come back home! Gabriel, his parents and the Herring residents build the hotel afresh next to Mrs Kettle's palace and they all live happily ever after in Kettlonia.

Balzac und Die Kleine Chinesiche
Die witzigste, traurigste, schönste Liebesgeschichte des Jahres - der so gefeierte Roman aus Frankreich erzählt von zwei pfiffigen chinesischen Studenten, die es in ein gottverlassenes Bergdorf verschlagen hat. Ein Koffer voll westlicher Weltliteratur und eine entzückende Schneiderin retten ihnen das Leben. Sie hat einen dicken schwarzen Zopf, zwei hinreißende Schühchen aus rosafarbener Seide und das zauberhafteste Lächeln, das man sich vorstellen kann: die Kleine Schneiderin aus dem abgelegenen Bergdorf, in die sich der junge Luo gleich beim ersten Anblick verliebt. Er und sein Freund, zwei Studenten, die zur kulturellen Umerziehung hierher ans Ende der Welt verschickt wurden, merken bald, daß sie nur eine einzige Möglichkeit haben, ihre Haut zu retten: Sie müssen in den Besitz jenes wunderbaren Lederkoffers gelangen, der die verbotenen Meisterwerke der westlichen Weltliteratur enthält. Denn nur aus Balzac und Stendhal, aus Dostojewski und Dumas können sie die Lebensenergie und den Esprit schöpfen, die sie brauchen, um den Widrigkeiten ihres Daseins und der Willkür des Dorfältesten Paroli zu bieten. Und vielleicht können sie am Ende sogar das Herz der Schneiderin gewinnen.

La cucina uno degli elementi forti del made in Italy, in termini di esportazioni di beni e di presenza di italiani nel mondo, ma anche una buona occasione per cogliere uno dei dati essenziali della cultura, il legame tra ogni territorio e delle espressioni di cultura, dell'identit italiana: la sua diversit, il legame tra ogni territorio e delle espressioni di cultura materiale. Il volume lega questi aspetti: per ciascuno dei vari temi (il pane, il vino, i primi, ecc...), si offrono insieme riflessioni culturali, informazioni sul lessico particolare della cucina, ricette - il tutto con un'attenzione linguistica ai modi di dire, all'uso dei verbi, e cos via. In tal modo lo studente di livello almeno B1 pu unire "l'utile al dilettevole" e parlare italiano (usando piatti anziché parole) anche quando invita a cena i suoi amici che non sanno nulla di italiano ma sanno che il nostro cibo il frutto di una storia millenaria."
