The World for Sale
We are entering an age of energy crises and food shortages. This book reveals why.
Meet the swashbuckling traders who supply the world with energy, food and metal.
Their goal: To make billions by buying and selling raw materials - flogging Russian gas to Europe, Saudi oil to America and Congolese metals to Silicon Valley.
Their methods: Whatever it takes - whether funnelling cash to Vladimir Putin's sanction-stricken Kremlin, schmoozing Russian metal oligarchs after the collapse of the Soviet Union, or striking deals with the Libyan rebels at the height of the Arab Spring.
These are the commodity traders. You've probably never heard of them. But, like it or not, you're one of their customers.

Then Algernon begins to fade. What will become of Charlie?

Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers
*A younger reader's edition of the number-one bestselling memoir by former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. With a new introduction from Mrs Obama herself*
What's important is our story, our whole story, including those moments when we feel a little vulnerable . . .
Michelle Robinson started life sharing a bedroom with her older brother Craig, in their family's upstairs apartment in her great-aunt's house. Her parents, Fraser and Marian, poured their love and energy into their children. She would go on to become Michelle Obama, the inspirational First Lady of the United States of America.
Now adapted for younger readers, with new photographs and a new introduction from Michelle Obama herself, this memoir tells a very personal, and completely inspiring, story of how, through hard work and determination, the girl from the South Side of Chicago built an extraordinary life.
A tale of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, this is an incredibly honest account. It will take you from the early years - first kiss, first school, first love - to the wonders of the White House, and the moment Mrs Obama shook hands with the Queen of England.
A book to read, share, and talk about with the adults in your life, this is a call to action and compassion, and hope for change in uncertain times, and in a scary world.
You'll be inspired to help others, and understand that no one is perfect. Just like Michelle Obama, you too are finding out exactly who you want to be (and, actually, so are the adults in your life).
Above all, it is a book to make you think: who are you, and what do you want to become?

Wait for you - Várok rád
A 19 éves Avery Morgansten életét egy öt évvel korábbi halloween-buli mindörökre megváltoztatta. Menekvésként az otthonától több ezer kilométerre lévő egyetemre jelentkezik. Nem akar mást, mint minden feltűnést kerülve elvégezni az iskoláit - de már az első napon összeakad egy sráccal, aki képes darabokra törni a maga számára gondosan felépített jövőt.
Vannak dolgok, amiket át kell élni...
Cameron Hamilton 190 centi magas, amolyan leányálom - szikrázóan kék szemmel és valami megfoghatatlan képességgel arra, hogy Avery megint olyasmikre vágyjon, amiktől évekkel korábban megfosztották. Veszedelmes dolog lenne közelebbről is megismerkedni vele, de lehetetlen figyelmen kívül hagyni a kettejük között vibráló feszültséget, ami felszínre hozza Avery személyiségének egy mindeddig ismeretlen oldalát.
Vannak dolgok, amiket nem lehet elhallgatni...
Aztán Avery egyre több fenyegető e-mailt és hívást kap, és kénytelen szembenézni a múltjával, amit annyira szeretett volna mindörökre elfelejteni. Rádöbben, hogy van valaki, aki nem fogja egykönnyen elengedni. Vajon ha kiderül a rettenetes igazság, ezzel Avery is elindulhat a gyógyulás útján?
És Cam akkor is mellette marad majd, ha megtudja mi történt?
Vannak dolgok, amikért megéri harcolni...

Democracy Rules
One of our most essential political thinkers offers a vital account of democracy in the twenty-first century
Everyone knows that democracy is in trouble, but do we know what democracy actually is? Political philosopher Jan-Werner Muller, author of the widely acclaimed What Is Populism?, takes us back to basics.
In this short, elegant volume, he explains how democracy is founded on three vital principles: liberty, equality, and also uncertainty. The latter, he argues, is crucial for ensuring democracy's dynamic and creative character. Authoritarians, as well as Big Tech, seek to render politics (and individual citizens) predictable; democracy holds open the possibility that new ideas, movements and identities can be created.
Acknowledging fully the dangers posed by populism, by kleptocratic autocracies like Russia's and by the digital authoritarianism of Xi, Muller also challenges the assumptions made by many liberals defending democracy in recent years. He shows how the secession of plutocratic elites in the West has undermined much of democracy's promise. In response, we need to re-invigorate our institutions, especially political parties and professional media, but also make it easier for citizens to mobilize.
Taking on many of the most difficult political questions we face, this book is a vital rethinking of what democracy is, and how we can reinvent our social contract.
