Pipogya, a budapesti medve
Budapest, napjainkban. Láthatatlanná vált városi vadállatok élnek közöttünk. Békések, jobban félnek tőlünk, emberektől, semhogy megmutassák magukat. Pipogya, a kismackó az utcán sétálva egy nap felfedezi, hogy a láthatatlanság álcája már nem tökéletes - hiszen egy kisgyerek észreveszi őt! Aztán még egy! És még egy! Innentől kezdve az események gyorsan követik egymást. Gyerekek és állatok életreszóló barátságot kötnek, megalakul a VEST (Vadállat Embert Segítő Társaság - vagy inkább Városi Eső Sanyarú Tél?), összeismerkednek a titokzatos Aranykával, a manóval, és egy igen komoly küldetést kell végrehajtaniuk...

A nagy, a kicsi és az emberi elme
Roger Penrose eredeti és provokatív elképzelései a világegyetem nagyléptékű fizikájáról, a kvantumfizika kisléptékű világáról és az elme fizikájáról nem ismeretlenek a magyar olvasók számára. Ezeket az elképzeléseket fejtette ki többek között A császár új elméje és a Stephen Hawkinggal közösen írt A tér és az idő természete című nagy sikerű könyveiben. A nagy, a kicsi és az emberi elme összegzi, felfrissíti és aktualizálja Penrose gondolatait e komplex területekről. Mesteri összefogást ad a fizika azon részeiről, ahol lényeges megoldatlan problémákat lát. Ennek során gyökeresen új fogalmakat vezet be, amelyeket különösen hasznosnak gondol az agyműködés és az emberi elme természetének megértéséhez. Elgondolásairól három jeles szakértő mond véleményt különböző szempontokból - Abner Shimony és Nancy Cartwright mint tudományfilozófusok és Stephen Hawking mint elméleti fizikus és kozmológus. A kötet végén a szerző válaszol tudóstársai gondolatébresztő kritikáira. Penrose lelkesedése, éleslátása, jó humorérzéke az átlagos olvasó számára is könnyen felfoghatóvá teszi a modern fizika problémáiról írt beszámolóját

The Patriarchs
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023
A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR FOR POLITICS 2023
‘By thinking about gendered inequality as rooted in something unalterable within us, we fail to see it for what it is: something more fragile that has had to be constantly remade and reasserted.’
In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini goes in search of the true roots of gendered oppression, uncovering a complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.
Travelling to the world’s earliest known human settlements, analysing the latest research findings in science and archaeology, and tracing cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia, she overturns simplistic universal theories to show that what patriarchy is and how far it goes back really depends on where you are.
Despite the push back against sexism and exploitation in our own time, even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. Saini ends by asking what part we all play – women included – in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists in the present.

The Hydrogen Sonata
The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.
The Scavenger species are circling. It is, truly, the End Days for the Gzilt civilisation.
An ancient people, organised on military principles and yet almost perversely peaceful, the Gzilt helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier. Now they’ve made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilisations: they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence.
But, amid preparations, the Regimental High Command is destroyed. Vyr Cossont, a former soldier for the Gzilt, appears to have been involved, and she is now wanted – dead, not alive. Aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete a final mission; she must find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might just hold the key to understanding what happened . . .
The final days of the Gzilt civilisation may prove its most perilous.

In a Flight of Starlings
From the 2021 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, a remarkable journey into the practice of groundbreaking science
The world is shaped by complexity. In this enlightening book, Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi guides us through his unorthodox yet exhilarating work to show us how. It all starts with investigating the principles of physics by observing the sophisticated flight patterns of starlings. Studying the movements of these birds, he has realized, proves an illuminating way into understanding complex systems of all kinds - collections of everything from atoms to planets to other animals like ourselves.
Along the way, Parisi reflects on the lessons he's taken from a life in pursuit of scientific truth: the importance of serendipity to the discovery of new ideas, the surprising kinship between physics and other fields of study and the value of science to a thriving society. In so doing, he removes the practice of science from the confines of the laboratory and into the real world. Complexity is all around us - from climate to finance to biology, it offers a unique way of finding order in chaos.
Part elegant scientific treatise, part thrilling intellectual journey, In a Flight of Starlings is an invitation to find wonder in the world around us.

Éjszaka Chilében
Az "Éjszaka Chilében" egyetlen hosszú, lenyűgöző, hol véresen komoly, hol fergetegesen mulatságos monológ, egy haldokló önigazolása önmaga és Isten előtt. Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix mondja el, aki szegény sorból származott és költőnek készült, aztán jezsuita pap és konzervatív kritikus lett, a gazdag és kiváltságos kulturális elit tányérnyalója; majd az Opus Dei megbízásából az európai templomok állagmegóvását tanulmányozta; később, Pinochet hatalomátvétele után a legnagyobb titokban a diktátort oktatta a marxizmus alapjaira; életének groteszk elemekben bővelkedő, olykor szürreális története példázat a sodródó társutas értelmiségiről, aki nem vesz tudomást a körülötte zajló véres valóságról, a társadalmi problémákról és az emberi szenvedésről, s az irodalom oltárán feláldozza az életet.

Banksy
The largest presentation of works by Banksy, the world’s most enigmatic yet highly sought-after artist, including iconic works, installation objects, ephemera, and memorabilia all in one volume.
Banksy is the world’s most discussed artist of recent decades, and this seminal collection features hundreds of works including Girl with Balloon, Pulp Fiction, Love Is in the Air, Barcode, and Monkey Queen. It also includes scores of paintings, serigraphs, stencils, and installation objects as well as a selection of memorabilia—many of which have never been published previously. Created with the cooperation of Pest Control, the group that manages all things Banksy, this is as official and authorized as any Banksy publication could be.
Banksy is the world’s greatest practitioner of street art. His work has always been political, involving pointed critiques of inequality, injustice, consumerism, and the establishment, yet no one knows his identity. He is an exemplary case of fame and notoriety built upon absence and anonymity. His relationship with the art market is also complex: marked by mocking hostility while being one of the most marketable and most collected contemporary artists.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
Do not look. Do not ask. Do not pry.
A sumptuous, gothic story about an obsessive female friendship cursed to end in tragedy, a marriage unraveled by dark secrets, and the danger of believing in fairy tales - the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi.
Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Castenada. He was a scholar of myths. She was heiress to a fortune. They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after - and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past.
But when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom soon finds himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor's extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo's dearest childhood friend, who disappeared without a trace.
As the house slowly reveals his wife's secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives.
Combining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
Blue Machine
All of the Earth's ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine.
Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture.
In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system.
Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: The Road to Neverwinter
Discover the thrilling origin stories of the bard Edgin, the barbarian Holga, and their whole adventuring party in this official prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Edgin Darvis’s life is a mess. All that he has left are his lute, his dashing good looks, and his daughter, Kira. After a chance encounter with badass bruiser Holga, Edgin is forced to take a hard look at his bad choices. But the road to redemption is long and paved with unforeseen expenses. Fortunately, the world is full of rich fools begging to be parted from their money.
And so Edgin and Holga do what any sensible entrepreneurs would do—they form a crew.
Joined by the charming rogue Forge Fitzwilliam and Simon, a sorcerer with an intense inferiority complex, the team sets out to line their pockets with both well-earned and ill-gotten gold. Together, Edgin’s crew battles monsters across the realms: gnoll raiders, fey witches, and more fall beneath their sharp weapons and sharper wit. But when they encounter a new, more sophisticated villain, keen blades and piercing blue eyes may not be enough.
Their target? Torlinn Shrake, a wealthy eccentric known for abusing his servants and hosting lavish parties.
The plan? Play dress-up, sneak into the Shrake estate, and fill their pockets with as much loot as they can carry.
The catch? Shrake is hiding a terrible secret: one that could endanger the lives of everyone Edgin has come to care for—even if the loot is too good to pass up.

Bátor lelkek
Gyakran, amikor "rossz" dolgok történnek velünk, szenvedéseink értelmetlennek tűnhetnek. Legnehezebb feladataink mögött azonban számos rejtett cél bújhat meg, melyeket - a szerző kutatásai szerint - még azelőtt terveztünk el, hogy megszülettünk. Valóban lehetséges, hogy mi választjuk meg életkörülményeinket, kapcsolatainkat és az életünkben bekövetkező eseményeket? A szerző életében értelmet és célt keresve rátalált a születés előtti életterv felfedezésének útjára, mely alapjaiban változtatja meg a sorsról és szenvedésről alkotott fogalmainkat. A könyvben meghökkentő történetek olvashatók, melyek komoly, életüket nagyban átrendező felismerésekhez, ezáltal a számukra szükséges gyógyuláshoz, s teljes szellemi valójuk átéléséhez vezettek el embereket. Ezek olvasása során fény derül arra, hogy a sorsunkat meghatározó eseményeket mi magunk tervezzük el a születésünk előtt, hogy azok fejlődésünket szolgálják, meghatározva ezzel életünk célját és értelmét. Ezúton jutunk el a szellemi felébredéshez, mely által szenvedéseinkre többé nem úgy tekintünk, mint értelmetlenül kínzó sorscsapásokra, igazságtalan, életünket "feleslegesen" megkeserítő fájdalmakra - bár azokra önmagában már a könyv olvasása is enyhülést hoz.

La lunga strada di sabbia
The extraordinary picture story by Paolo Di Paolo, accompanied by texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini which documents and narrates Italians on vacation during Summer 1959, from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic Sea; from Ventimiglia to Trieste (from the western to the eastern border). In 1959 Paolo Di Paolo is a 34-year-old photographer collaborating with the cultural weekly magazine Il Mondo directed by Mario Pannunzio, and the widely distributed magazine Tempo. Pier Paolo Pasolini is a promising 37-year-old writer who had published The Best of Youth, The Street Kids and A Violent Life.He is not yet a film director. In Italy, the "economic miracle" has just begun. The newspapers tend to offer to Italian families a microcosm of mythical characters as a diversion to the dullness and fear of war, emigration, and poverty.
Arturo Tofanelli, editor in chief of the monthly Successo and the weekly Tempo, entrusts the two young men, Di Paolo and Pasolini, who did not know each other, to do a report on the Italian Summer Holidays that will be published by Successo magazine in three issues (July, August and September 1959). The writer and the photographer set off from Ventimiglia together, with the plan of travelling through the coasts of Italy to the south and climbing up to Trieste. But they have different visions.
"Pasolini was looking for a lost world of literary ghosts, an Italy that no longer existed," recalls Di Paolo. "I was looking for an Italy that was looking to the future. I conceived the title The Long Road of Sand meaning the strenuous road traveled by Italians to reach well-being and holidays after the War." A complex, delicate partnership is born between Pasolini and Di Paolo, they will travel together only the first stage of this journey, but this experience would later be consolidated in mutual respect and trust.
Text in English, German and Italian.

Anime Through the Looking Glass
The magic and mastery of anime springs to life in this gorgeous celebration of the genre that features more than 150 full-color frames.
ANIME GOES TO WAR: A powerful narrative engine, such as Kaneda’s red motorcycle in Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s Akira, war is thebeating heart of anime, its shadow hovering over various genres.
HUMAN, ALL TOO HUMAN?: Man versus machine. Exploring new dialectics of body and mind through films like Rintaro’s Galaxy Express 999 andMamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: On the other side of the mirror, we discover wonderful worlds in dreamlike colors populated with protective spirits, fantastic creatures and humans that save the world like the messianic girl in Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä to the Space Pirate Captain Harlock
LIFE NOW: Exhibiting the metamorphosis of society and lifestyles, with scenes from family life to the schoolyard to the company, anime also sketches the human tragic-comedy with great acuity like Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name.
This uniquely powerful form of artistic expression has embraced complex and provocative ideas since its inception in the mid twentieth century.
This dynamic and wide-ranging book explores eighty key themes of the genre, from wars to natural disasters, nature to ecology, childhood to magic, dystopias to fables. It looks at more than one hundred masterpieces of Japanese animation, including Akira, Ghost in the Shell, One Piece, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies and Howl’s Moving Castle, to show how practitioners consistently balance tradition with modernity and how anime’s distinct style has influenced other forms of media such as video games, comic books and live-action films.
Covering an enormous range of talent—from Isao Takahata, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, and Makoto Shinkai to Studio Ghibli and Mamoru Oshii—it demonstrates how anime makes room for limitless creativity. Unfettered by the physical constraints of nature’s laws, these artists realize our deepest emotions and our wildest dreams.

A 100 leggazdagabb 2010
A jelenlegi gazdasági helyzetben talán az eddigieknél is izgalmasabb kérdés, hogyan alakult az elmúlt időszakban a magyar milliárdosok vagyona. A közel egy évtizedes múltra visszatekintő – a 100 leggazdagabb magyart felvonultató -, a Napi Gazdaság Kiadó gondozásában megjelenő kiadványt idén is Szakonyi Péter és a pénzügyi napilap több neves munkatársa készíti, amely mindenképp garanciát jelent annak magas színvonalára és minőségére. A kiadvány első felét a korábbi évekhez hasonlóan idén is a legvagyonosabb magyarok foglalják el. A számos érdekes információn kívül azt is megtudhatjuk, hogy miként vélekednek egymásról a 100-as lista tagjai. Az elmúlt másfél év gazdasági történései a leggazdagabb magyarok életében sem múltak el nyomtalanul, így nem csak az élmezőnyben, de a lista teljes egészében jelentős átrendeződések várhatóak, és mint mindig, idén is számítani lehet új szereplőkre. Az országos listát regionális listák egészítik ki, melyek jól tükrözik az egyes országrészek gazdasági erejét és eredményeit. A szokásosnak megfelelően a 100 leggazdagabb a lista mellett ezúttal is komoly és érdekes tartalommal szolgál majd, így számos cikk foglalkozik a hajózással, a golffal, az órákkal, az autókkal, vagy éppen a luxuslakásokkal.
