Essays In Love
A unique love story and a classic work of philosophy, rooted in the mysterious workings of the human heart and mind.
Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.
A man and woman on a flight from Paris to London, and so begins their love story. From first kiss to first argument, infatuation to heartbreak, de Botton illuminates each stage of their relationship with a clarity both startling and tender.
With the verve of a novelist and the insight of a philosopher, Essays in Love unveils the mysteries of the human heart. It is essential reading for anyone seeking instruction in the art of love.

Iron and Blood
Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book, encompassing five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea. Wilson's narrative considers everything from weapons development to recruitment to battlefield strategy.
Germans' military impact on the rest of Europe has been immense. If there is one constant it has been the sense of being beset by seemingly more powerful enemies - France or Russia or Turkey - and the need to strike a rapid knockout blow to ensure a favourable result. Almost inevitably, this has in practice meant protracted, relentless and often unwinnable wars, and - in 1939-1945 - moral catastrophe.
The author of definitive books on the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years War, Peter Wilson has with Iron and Blood written his masterpiece.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

A unique new vision of Gotham, built to be the logical next step for fans of the 2022 film THE BATMAN!
Bruce Wayne’s mission as the Batman has only been underway for a year or so, but he can tell he’s making a difference in this city. Unfortunately, he’s made some powerful enemies–and not just among the colorful maniacs called “super-villains.” All the traditional power brokers of Gotham resent the disruption the Batman has brought to town… and it seems one of them has a plan to neutralize him. There’s a second Batman haunting Gotham’s rooftops and alleys–and this one has no qualms about murdering criminals, live and on tape. With the entire might of the Gotham City Police Department and Gotham’s rich and powerful coming down on his head, Batman must find this imposter and somehow clear his name…but how can you prove your innocence from behind a mask?
Mattson Tomlin–creator of the hit Netflix series Project Power and director of the upcoming Mother/Android–has teamed up with Eisner-winning suspense and horror artist Andrea Sorrentino (JOKER: KILLER SMILE, Gideon Falls) to create a wholly new version of Gotham City, informed by grim reality, where every punch leaves a broken bone and every action has consequences far, far beyond Batman’s imagination!

Anthro-Vision
A revelatory model that explains how we buy, sell, work and live.
For over a century, anthropologists have immersed themselves in unfamiliar cultures, uncovering the hidden rituals that govern how people act. Now, a new generation of anthropologists are using these methods in a different context - to illuminate the behaviour of businesses and consumers around the globe.
In Anthro-Vision, Gillian Tett - bestselling author, Financial Times journalist, and anthropology PhD - reveals how anthropology can make sense of the corporate world. She outlines how anthropology helps explain consumer behaviour - revealing the 'webs of meaning' that underpin our shopping habits, and unpicking the subtle cultural shifts driving the rise of green business. She explores how anthropology can shed light on the workplace, identifying the hidden tribes within the office, and pinpointing which rituals are binding together a team. And she shows how we can all use anthropology in our own lives, too: helping us make better decisions, navigate risk - even work out what our peers are really thinking.
Along the way, Tett draws on stories from Tajik villages and Amazon warehouses, Japanese classrooms and Wall Street trading floors, all to reveal the power of anthropology in action.
The result is a wholly new way to understand human behaviour. In a short-sighted world, we can all learn to see clearly - using the power of Anthro-Vision.

Vétkek és vezeklések Ruth története
Ruth Hilton egyszerű gazdálkodók szépséges leányaként cseperedik a család vidéki farmján. Ábrándos gyermekkora azonban egy csapásra lesz semmivé, amikor előbb édesanyját, majd édesapját is elveszíti. Gyámja varróleánynak adja egy kisvárosi ruhaszalonba. A magányos hölgy ifjúsága virágos vidékére vágyik vissza az úri szabóság rideg falai közül. Kisvártatva elragadja a szerelem, de tapasztalatlan lelke nem talál jó gazdára Mr. Bellingham, a vagyonos kalandor személyében: románca a jellemtelen férfival megpecsételi a sorsát. Az eldobott szerető élete kis híján tragédiába torkollik, ám kétségbeesett helyzetében fölkarolja egy lelkész, s magához veszi ecclestoni otthonukba. Ettől a naptól kezdve csak azon buzgólkodik, hogy jóvátegye leánykori botlását és szeretetben nevelje föl kisfiát. Tehetsége, szorgalma és állhatatossága révén idővel elismert és csodált nevelőnővé küzdi föl magát. Ám múltja kísértetei előbukkannak, s nehezen megszerzett becsületétől és nevelőnői tisztségétől is megfosztják. Kevés megmaradt barátja támogatásával azonban életét mások szolgálatába állítja, s vezeklése révén elnyeri az igaz életet és Eccleston elismerését - ha nem is a leghagyományosabb módon és a legnagyobb boldogság közepette. Ruth története az emberi botlás, az újrakezdés és a megbocsátás romantikus históriája a 18-19. századi Anglia kisvárosi díszletei között, a humanista Elizabeth Gaskell kiváló tollából, megannyi izgalmas fordulattal és megrendítő tanulsággal.

Revolting Prostitutes
How the law harms sex workers—and what they want instead Do you have to endorse prostitution in order to support sex worker rights? Should clients be criminalized, and can the police deliver justice? In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious.
Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.

The Kids Will Be All Right : A guide to raising teens in a complex world
An essential guide to parenting today's teenagers.
We live in an age of anxiety - for both parents and teenagers. The straightforward years of childhood can seem a breeze compared to what teens have thrown at them today. Parents worry about how to help their teenagers deal with sex, porn, gender identity, sexting, slut-shaming, social media, bullying, alcohol and drugs, and about their teenagers' high levels of anxiety. Teens worry about how to measure up in a world where their social currency is explicitly measured by likes and followers; they worry about their bodies and their looks, sex, cancel culture and their future.
Life is genuinely different for today's teens and pre-teens than it was even a decade ago, yet New Zealand parents lack access to a comprehensive book with up-to-date, evidence-based and sensible advice on how to help their teens get through the physical, mental and social challenges of adolescence.
The Kids Will Be All Right includes strategies to suggest to your teen to deal with common tricky situations, and covers friendships (and frenemies); bullying; technology use and screen time; drinking, vaping and risk-taking behaviour; self esteem and body image; personal and sexual health; sexual and gender identity; consent; safe relationships; and pornography.
Written by parenting expert Robyn Fausett and with contributions from her daughter, Molly Fausett, The Kids Will Be All Right is an empathetic, insightful guide to navigating the teenage years.
Broken into digestible parts, with numerous examples and anecdotes to help parents know what to do - and say - when, this is an essential guide for today's parents of adolescents.

Gemini Man - The Official Movie Novelization
The official novelization of Gemini Man, the latest film by Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee, starring two-time Academy Award-nominee Will Smith.
Henry Brogan is an elite assassin who becomes the target of a mysterious operative who can seemingly predict his every move. To his horror, he soon learns that the man who's trying to kill him is a younger, faster, cloned version of himself. This is the official novelization of the hotly anticipated Gemini Man, the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Life of Pi; Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), starring two-time Academy Award-nominee Will Smith.
Der Man
Warum gibt es eigentlich Männer, und noch dazu so viele? Die Herstellung eines männlichen Organismus ist biologisch sehr aufwendig - weshalb auch etliche Arten ohne Männchen auskommen -, und schon ein einziger Mann könnte mit den bei einem Geschlechtsakt produzierten Samenzellen sämtliche Frauen in Europa befruchten. Mehr noch: Spätestens seit Klonschaf Dolly ist klar, dass Männer sogar zur Erzeugung von Nachwuchs im Grunde überflüssig sind. Ist der Mann also ein evolutionäres Auslaufmodell, ein Irrtum der Natur.
