Move UP:Why Some Cultures Advance While Others Don't
This is an irreverent and controversial examination of why some nations succeed that will overturn all received wisdom. With an abundance of data and evidence, Move UP explores the societal and biological factors that determine whether cultures are able to ascend socially, economically and intellectually. This provocative, ambitious and entertaining book devises a formula that will allow countries and individuals to assess their own potential for upward mobility. Drawing on science and statistics as much as on human instinct and emotion, Move UP reconsiders the modern world with a motion to improving it. "An entertaining and important counterweight to the ideology and cynicism that surrounds discussions of world problems today". (Steven Pinker). "Not since The Naked Ape have I seen a book that so gleefully revels in tweaking the nose of conventional sensitivities. Whether you love it or hate it, this quirkily perceptive - or insouciantly provocative - book will enliven dinner party conversations, and will delight and infuriate in equal measure". (Richard Dawkins, best-selling author of The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion). "Many have tried to address small pieces of this great puzzle, but Rapaille and Roemer are the first to attempt a comprehensive answer to this eternal question. Because the stakes are so high, their work deserves serious study and attention. The destiny of nations may depend on ideas like theirs". (Michio Kaku). "Move UP is a splendid book, totally engaging from start to finish. It showcases the human drive to strive for betterment within a complex matrix of our biology and culture. It challenges the reader to think about fresh ideas about ways to ascend, as well as highlighting the impediments that must be overcome to progress toward improvement". (David M. Buss). Dr Clotaire Rapaille is a marketing expert - drawing on psychology and anthropology in his research - and the CEO and founder of Archetype Discoveries Worldwide. He has written over fourteen books, most recently The Culture Code, which has been translated into twelve languages. Dr Andres Roemer is a diplomat, civil servant, entrepreneur and academic. He has written over eighteen books on a diversity of topics including economics, happiness, art and crime, and is the President of La Ciudad de las Ideas.

(Brene Brown, Ph.D., author of Daring Greatly). "Wonderful and enjoyable." (Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Prize Laureate). "A comprehensive and compelling statement of why creativity matters for everyone, what it looks like in action, and how to get there. Inspiring and so readable you will feel Sir Ken is talking directly to you." (Andy Hargreaves, author of Professional Capital).

Keeping Faith
One of America's most powerful and thought-provoking novelists, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult brilliantly examines belief, miracles, and the complex core of family. When the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression -- and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata. And when the miraculous healings begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile center of controversy and into the heat of a custody battle -- trapped in a mad media circus that threatens what little stability the family has left.

Eugenie Grandet
Eugénie Grandet, qui passe pour l'un des modles du réalisme balzacien, est une histoire vulgaire, le récit pur et simple de ce qui se voit tous les jours en province " écrit Balzac dans sa Préface de 1833. C'est surtout le grand roman de l'argent et de l'avarice, incarnée par l'un des personnages les plus célbres de La Comédie humaine, le pre Grandet : Balzac, selon Lamartine, a dans cette uvre drôle et satirique " cent fois dépassé l'incomparable Molire ". Mais Eugénie Grandet est aussi le roman de l'attente et de l'ennui, l'histoire déchirante d'une Pénélope sublime, éprise de son cousin de Paris, frivole dandy qui elle sacrifiera tout, et qui la laissera vieille fille... Ainsi que l'écrivait Sainte-Beuve, ce récit frôle le " chef-d'uvre qui se classerait côté de tout ce qu'il y a de mieux et de plus délicat parmi les romans en un volume. ""

Stalling for Time
An enraged man abducts his estranged wife and child, holes up in a secluded mountain cabin, threatening to kill them both. A right wing survivalist amasses a cache of weapons and resists calls to surrender. A drug trafficker barricades himself and his family in a railroad car, and begins shooting. A cult leader in Waco, Texas faces the FBI in an armed stand-off that leaves many dead in a fiery blaze. A sniper, claiming to be God, terrorizes the DC metropolitan area. For most of us, these are events we hear about on the news. For Gary Noesner, head of the FBI s groundbreaking Crisis Negotiation Unit, it was just another day on the job. In "Stalling for Time," Noesner takes readers on a heart-pounding tour through many of the most famous hostage crises of the past thirty years. Specially trained in non-violent confrontation and communication techniques, Noesner s unit successfully defused many potentially volatile standoffs, but perhaps their most hard-won victory was earning the recognition and respect of their law enforcement peers. Noesner pursued his dream of joining the FBI all the way to Quantico, where he not only became a Special Agent, but also in the course of a distinguished thirty-year career the FBI s Chief Negotiator. Gaining respect for the fledgling art of crisis negotiation in the hard-boiled culture of The Bureau, where the shadow of J. Edgar Hoover still loomed large, was an uphill battle, educating FBI and law enforcement leaders on the job at an incident, and advocating the use of psychology rather than force whenever possible. Noesner s many bloodless victories rarely garnered as much media attention as the notorious incident management blunders like the Branch Davidian disaster in Waco and the Ruby Ridge tragedy. Noesner offers a candid as well as fascinating look back at his years as a rebel in the ranks and a pioneer on the front lines. Whether vividly recounting showdowns with the radical Republic of Texas militia, the terrorist hijackers of the cruise ship Achille Lauro, and self-styled messiah David Koresh, or clashes with colleagues and superiors that expose the internal politics and power-plays of America s premier law enforcement agency, Stalling for Time" "crackles with breathtaking suspense and insight in equal measure. Case by case, minute by minute, it s a behind the scenes view of a visionary crime-fighter in action."

Danse Macabre
Anita Blake should be concentrating on a dangerous situation: the ardeur, the sexual power that flows between Anita and Jean-Claude, Master Vampire of the City - and Richard, the volatile werewolf who loves her passionately - is reaching new levels, perhaps evolving into something entirely new. It seems to be choosing new lovers for Anita, acting with a will of its own. The unexpected effect of this is that Jean-Claude's own powers as a Master Vampire have grown to new levels - and Richard, always unpredictable, is changing too. However, as the days pass Anita finds herself less interested in vampire politics than in an altogether more personal concern. She may be pregnant. And if she is, whether the father is a vampire, a werewolf or something else entirely, she knows full well that being a Federal Marshall, known for raising the dead and executing vampires, is no way to bring up a baby

Sisi
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - For readers of Philippa Gregory, Paula McLain, and Daisy Goodwin comes a sweeping and powerful novel by Allison Pataki. Sisi tells the little-known story of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, the Princess Diana of her time, in an enthralling work of historical fiction that is also a gripping page-turner. Married to Emperor Franz Joseph, Elisabeth--fondly known as Sisi--captures the hearts of her people as their "fairy queen," but beneath that dazzling persona lives a far more complex figure. In mid-nineteenth-century Vienna, the halls of the Hofburg Palace buzz not only with imperial waltzes and champagne but with temptations, rivals, and cutthroat intrigue. Feeling stifled by strict protocols and a turbulent marriage, Sisi grows restless. A free-spirited wanderer, she finds solace at her estate outside Budapest. There she rides her beloved horses and enjoys visits from the Hungarian statesman Count Andrassy, the man with whom she's unwittingly fallen in love. But tragic news brings Sisi out of her fragile seclusion, forcing her to return to her capital and a world of gossip, envy, and sorrow where a dangerous fate lurks in the shadows. Through love affairs and loss, dedication and defiance, Sisi struggles against conflicting desires: to keep her family together, or to flee amid the collapse of her suffocating marriage and the gathering tumult of the First World War. In an age of crumbling monarchies, Sisi fights to assert her right to the throne beside her husband, to win the love of her people and the world, and to save an empire. But in the end, can she save herself? Featuring larger-than-life historic figures such as Bavaria's "Mad King Ludwig" and the tragic Crown Prince Rudolf, and set against many of Europe's grandest sites--from Germany's storied Neuschwanstein Castle to England's lush shires--Sisi brings to life an extraordinary woman and the romantic, volatile era over which she presided. Praise for Sisi "Pataki successfully juggles numerous political and personal plot lines while maintaining her focus on a fascinating central character. . . . Readers of Pataki's first book will want to know the rest of Sisi's story, but this novel stands on its own for historical fiction fans."--Library Journal "A deeply moving book about a complex character."--BookPage "A satisfying saga of the late Habsburg period."--Kirkus Reviews "Pataki brings richness and relevance to the story of the woman who worked tirelessly to protect the face of an empire."--Publishers Weekly "Pataki simply stuns me with each new book. I savor each page. Sisi is her best yet!"--Kathie Lee Gifford "Readers will enjoy the glorious dilemma of whether to turn the pages swiftly, breathlessly following Empress Sisi from one astonishing, heartbreaking adventure to the next, or to linger and luxuriate in Pataki's vivid, sumptuous descriptions of the Habsburg court."--Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker "This entire novel is irresistible--completely impossible to put down! Pataki reimagines the reign of the nineteenth-century Princess Diana in this stunning book."--Michelle Moran, internationally bestselling author of Rebel Queen "Emotional, exuberant, masterly, Sisi swept me into the glittering, treacherous world of the waning Habsburg empire. A must-read."--Lynn Cullen, bestselling author of Mrs. Poe From the Hardcover edition.

L´Adieu aux Armes
Imaginez-la, belle, blonde, silhouette ferme et pourtant fragile au milieu des ruines fumantes de la guerre. Lui, dépenaillé, les cheveux en broussaille et le regard fiévreux. Il se nomme Frédéric Henry, jeune Américain engagé volontaire sur le front italien, durant le premier conflit mondial. Elle, c'est Catherine Barkley, une Anglaise mystique, infirmière bénévole sur le même front. Premier rendez-vous : "Nous nous regardâmes dans le noir. Je la trouvais belle et je lui pris la main." Quelques mots plus loin : "Je l'enlaçais." "Non", dit-elle. Et puis, une gifle et trois dialogues plus loin, Je l'embrassais violemment en l'étreignant très fort... Elle écarta les lèvres et renversa la tête sous ma main, puis elle se mit à pleurer sur mon épaule. - Oh, mon chéri, dit-elle, vous serez gentil avec moi, n'est-ce pas ? Et ta soeur, pensais-je. Je lui caressais les cheveux et lui tapotais l'épaule. Elle pleurait. Si l'on pouvait résumer le livre d'Hemingway, ce serait sur ces modestes dialogues qu'il faudrait méditer. Comment, en quelques lignes, son auteur met en place toute la trame de son roman qui raconte l'inéluctable basculement des êtres confrontés à leur destin, ironiquement, de la vie à l'amour et à la mort. Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) a écrit L'Adieu aux armes en 1929. Il est également l'auteur de Pour qui sonne le glas, Le Vieil Homme et la Mer, Le soleil se lève aussi... Il a reçu le prix Nobel de littérature en 1954. --Stellio Paris

Les Reveries du Promeneur Solitaire
Débranchez vos téléphones portables et relisez Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire pour redécouvrir ce que l'on doit à la solitude et au libre vagabondage de ses pensées. Perpétuellement dérangé, et comme détourné de lui-même par d'incessantes sollicitations, "l'homme pressé" du monde contemporain pourrait bien retrouver dans la lecture de ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature française l'occasion d'un recueillement salutaire. Ces heures de solitude et de méditation sont les seules de la journée où je sois pleinement moi et à moi sans diversion, sans obstacle, et où je puisse véritablement dire être ce que la nature a voulu. Seconde promenade Si vous avez aimé La Première Gorgée de bière de Philippe Delerm, vous éprouverez sans conteste les délectations d'une prose admirable qui restitue l'expérience élémentaire de la dégustation et de l'attention savoureuse au monde qui caractérise ces moments délivrés de l'urgence où nous nous laissons aller aux joies simples de l'existence. Loin d'exalter l'enracinement et le goût du terroir, Rousseau, en ce sens résolument moderne, nous rappelle qu'un homme libre n'a pas de racines mais des pieds, pour s'en servir et parcourir le monde. Une invitation à la marche, à lire dans l'esprit cosmopolite propre au Siècle des lumières ! --Paul Klein

Michelangelo Sistine Chapel
Five hundred years ago the legendary Renaissance genius, Michelangelo (1475-1564), put the first brushstroke to his most ambitious creation. As he started work on his vast fresco cycle for the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in the autumn of 1508, he began putting into pictures the awe-inspiring legends recounted in the Book of Genesis. But for the viewer looking up into Michelangelo's painted sky, with its visions of an elemental universe, this was to be just the first of a series of unprecedentedly original images. These depictions of swooping, gesticulating, flying, muscular figures reach their climax in The Creation of Adam - a depiction of the very origins of Man that has been rightly celebrated, for centuries, as the quintessential masterpiece of the Renaissance. Yet the painting of the Sistine Chapel, for all its magnificence, came at a considerable human cost. It would take Michelangelo four years of long and bitter toil to complete his masterpiece, goaded all the while by his volatile, impatient patron, Julius II - known as the "Warrior Pope", in allusion both to his military conquests and aggressive temperament. The two men came to blows on more than one occasion, the artist harbouring a lifelong grudge over the abuse of what his friend and biographer Giorgio Vasari called his "divine genius", not to mention the damage the labours caused to his eyes, neck and back. In his new study of Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel, Andrew Graham-Dixon tells the fascinating human story behind its creation. He analyses its many layers of meaning and teases out the multitude of ambiguities that lurk within its imagery of timeless magnificence. This is a retelling of the story of the Sistine Chapel for modern times, and an essential companion guide for one of the artistic wonders of the world.

Cuccaink
Ördögh Ottó humoros, mégis elgondolkoztató könyvében mindennapi tárgyainkat (kulcs, óra, szemüveg, szappan, cipő, kesztyű, táska, WC-papír, toll stb.) állítja pellengérre és járja körül találós kérdéseken, vicceken keresztül, nem kímélve a használókat, azaz minket sem.
A könyv rendelkezik azzal a tulajdonsággal, amely minden igazi humor elengedhetetlen kelléke: teljesen új szemszögből pillant rá a tárgyakra, jelenségekre, s így ráébreszti az olvasót a megszokott dolgok furcsaságaira, esetenként illogikus voltára; s ebből a távolságból képes szórakoztató vicc-csokorként leírni a világot.
A 2002-ben elhunyt neves grafikus, Kertész N. László szellemes, lényegre törő rajzai nemcsak illusztrálják, hanem értelmezik, ki is egészítik a szöveget, párbeszédbe lépve vele.
"A cucc: valakivel vele lévő cók és mók. Pontosabban: hol, mi. Rokon értelemben hozzátartozónk. E könyv nélkülözhetetlen cuccainkról szól. Minden benne van ahhoz, hogy úgy érezzük magunkat, mi sem vagyunk nélkülözhetetlenek. Legalábbis cuccaink számára.
Ahhoz, hogy szépek legyünk, ott az SZTK-keretes szemüveg; ahhoz, hogy gazdagok, ott a minimálbér (euro helyett neuro); ahhoz, hogy nyomot hagyjunk magunk előtt, ott az írószer; ahhoz, hogy a magunk után hagyott nyomokat eltüntessük, ott a WC-papír; ahhoz, hogy ötről hatra lépjünk, ott a lábbeli zűrzavar; ahhoz, hogy mindig pontosan késsünk, ott az óra, és hogy a késést abbahagyjuk, itt az idő; ahhoz, hogy lemossuk az alázatot, ott a szappan; ahhoz, hogy zárkózottak legyünk, ott a kulcs; ahhoz, hogy kinyíljunk, ott a kancsó feneke; ahhoz, hogy hatalmasak és nagyok lehessünk, ott a kisebbnél is kisebb táska, mert ahhoz képest tényleg; ahhoz, hogy verhessük a mellünket, ott a kitüntetés; és ahhoz, hogy itthon is otthon érezzük magunkat, ott a légvár, de az is lehet, hogy itt.
Röviden: ahhoz, hogy létezzünk, ott vannak a cuccaink, de ahhoz, hogy életben is maradjunk, itt vannak a vicceink.
Vagy jókedvet csinálnak, vagy azt."

Hlavní postava filmu Eliška s tváří Ester Geislerové, má svatbu a čeká na svůj velký moment. Namísto svého „ano" ale ženich řekne „ne" a od oltáře uteče. Naštěstí má zdrcená Eliška skvělou kamarádku s jasným receptem, co je potřeba dělat. Ona sama střídá kluky jako ponožky a proto hned založí Elišce profil na osvědčené seznamce. Té to není příliš po chuti, ale je jí už 35 let, je single a má strach, aby jí neujel vlak. A chce vzít život pevněji do svých rukou. Vrhá se proto do randění naslepo a mezi řadou katastrofických schůzek zkusí najít novou lásku. Zároveň se musí rychle přestěhovat a jedinou možností je bydlet společně s nevlastním bratrem, podivínem, který pěstuje na střeše včely a který ji doma nechce.

Whitesnake - Slip Of The Tongue (25th Anniversary Edition) 2LP
KDO: Po svém odchodu z Deep Purple založil zpěvák David Coverdale v roce 1978 rockovou formaci, která podobně jako Deep Purple vycházela z hard rocku, ale kladla větší důraz na líbivé melodie. V osmdesátých letech Whitesnake natočili několik desek, které se dostaly do britské Top 10, s eponymním albem z roku 1987 se dokázali prosadit i ve Spojených státech.
CO: Osmé studiové album Whitesnake vyšlo v listopadu 1989. U příležitosti kulatého výročí je vychází opulentní reedice. Nově zremasterovaná deska je k dispozici ve variantách CD. 2CD, 2LP a 6CD/DVD. V rozšířených verzích najdete nevydané dobové nahrávky ze studia, záznam z festivalu Monsters of Rock 1990 (audio i video podoba), interview s Davidem Coverdalem i další memorabílie.
