The Treeline
'The very treeline is on the move: a devastating image. This book is an evocative, wise and unflinching exploration of what it will mean for humanity.' Jay Griffiths
The Arctic treeline is the frontline of climate change, where the trees have been creeping towards the pole for fifty years already. These vast swathes of forests, which encircle the north of the globe in an almost unbroken green ring, comprise the world's second largest biome.
Scientists are only just beginning to understand the astonishing significance of these northern forests for all life on Earth. Six tree species - Scots pine, birch, larch, spruce, poplar and rowan - form the central protagonists of Ben Rawlence's story. In Scotland, northern Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada and Greenland, he discovers what these trees and the people who live and work alongside them have to tell us about the past, present and future of our planet.
At the treeline, Rawlence witnesses the accelerating impact of climate change and the devastating legacies of colonialism and capitalism. But he also finds reasons for hope. Humans are creatures of the forest; we have always evolved with trees. The Treeline asks us where our co-evolution might take us next. Deeply researched and beautifully written, The Treeline is a spellbinding blend of nature, travel and science writing, underpinned by an urgent environmental message.

How To Be an Antiracist
In How To Be An Antiracist Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars on racism, demolishes the idea of a post-racial society, punctures the myths and taboos that cloud our understanding of racism and presents a radically new approach to tackling it.
He shows how everyone is, at times, complicit in maintaining the structure of racism though we rarely realise it, and gives us the tools to identify and change those behaviours.
Uncompromising but essential, How To Be An Antiracist sparked a new conversation about being an antiracist around the world, showing that until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.

Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's as she attempts to make good on the task that the goddess set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception.

Titokzatos és tüzes - A chicagói maffiaháború 1.
Életet az életért. Ez a maffia törvénye.
Damian Rossi az életével tartozik egy embernek, és eljött a törlesztés ideje. A fizetség ez esetben azt jelenti, hogy be kell házasodnia egy másik chicagói maffiacsaládba. Damian készséggel áll a sorsa elébe, akármi legyen is a következmény.
Lily DeLucának nincs választási lehetősége. Rákényszerítik, hogy hazatérjen, feleségül menjen egy férfihoz, akit nem is ismer, és folytassa azt az életet, amit a legszívesebben elfelejtene, egy féligazságokkal, elfojtott fájdalommal és bizonytalansággal teli világban. Damian azonban cseppet sem olyan, mint gondolta.
Ebben a világban senkiben sem lehet megbízni. Valaki a jobb jövő reményében kész mindent a feje tetejére állítani. De senki sem játszik nyílt lapokkal, és ebben a csatában csak egy győztes lehet. Amikor pedig a háború vörösre festi Chicago utcáit, a négy családot megosztja az egymás iránti hűség, gyűlölet és bosszú. Senki sem rejtőzhet el. Senki sincs biztonságban.
Senki nem halhatatlan.
Senki.
Ismerd meg a sorsukat! Csupa tűz ez a regény.
Graphite
There is something distinctly visceral about graphite art, where every stroke of the artist or illustrator seems to convey emotion in its purest form. At a time when almost everything can be digitally done up to perfection, the smudges and smears by graphite can be refreshing to the eye and unapologetically human - touching viewers to the core. As a creative tool, it can also be the simplest and most affordable medium with which to express oneself and find joy.
GRAPHITE is a stunning collection of pencil artwork by creatives around the world who have skilfully mastered the art of drawing by hand to make their mark. Featuring various subject matters and styles, it makes for a beautiful addition to the bookshelf and invites you to step away from your screen every now and then to, perhaps, pick up a pencil yourself and appreciate the simple things in life.

A pergő párbeszédekkel teli, humoros regény lapjain mindannyian magunkra ismerhetünk: mi vagyunk a magyarországi városok utcáin járó-kelő és az utak mentén autóstoppoló Porr Benedek, az olykor csetlő-botló, esendő kisember, aki azonban hatalmas felfedezést tesz: sosem késő nekiindulni az életnek..
A Fire in My Head
A powerful collection of new and recently completed poems by Ben Okri covering topics of the day, such as the refugee crisis, racism, Obama, the Grenfell Tower fire, and the Corona outbreak.
In our times of crisis
The mind has its powers
This book brings together many of Ben Okri's most acclaimed and politically charged poems.
Some of them, like 'Grenfell Tower, June 2017', are already familiar. Published in the Financial Times less than ten days after the fire, it was played more than 6 million times on Channel 4's Facebook page, and was retweeted by thousands on Twitter.
'Notre-Dame is Telling Us Something' was first read on BBC Radio 4, in the aftermath of the cathedral's near destruction. It spoke eloquently of the despair that was felt around the world.
In 'shaved head poem', Ben Okri wrote of the confusion and anxiety felt as the world grappled with a health crisis unprecedented in our times.
'Breathing the Light' was his response to the events of summer 2020, when a black man died beneath the knee of a white policeman, a tragedy sparking a movement for change.
These poems, and others including poems for Ken Saro-Wiwa, Barack Obama, Amnesty and more, make this a uniquely powerful collection that blends anger and tenderness with Ben Okri's inimitable vision.
Uriel’s Gift
A personal journey through instinct, intuition, research and revelation.
“I died on the 17thJuly 1996 – life became very interesting after that.”
Suddenly, in the middle of a car accident I found myself with Jesus, Archangel Uriel, and a third spiritual presence looking down at my body still strapped inside the wreck of my car.
They showed me my life, where I was up to, and how this life connects to both past and future lives, then they offered me a choice: stay with them or go back to my physical life and share my story.
I chose to return, and when I did I woke to pain, a vision of my Lifeline, and the promise of a new beginning that would be more wonderful and exciting than anything I had ever experienced in my life.
A little while later during meditation, Archangel Uriel came to me and presented me with a gift. It was a book, and when I opened it I found every single page to be blank. I asked. “What’s supposed to go in the book?”
“Your experiences. Fill the book with the things you see on your journey.”
Two weeks after that and again in meditation, Jesus came to me. I asked him: “Why are you here?” He looked at me with laughter in his eyes and said. “Write your book. All the answers are in it.”
He let me think about that for a bit then said. “I have been with you always, and I will be with you always. I am always with you. I do not want you to follow me, nor will I follow you, although I will always walk beside you. I will teach you through visions and dreams, through meditations like this one, and through astral travel. Put the things that you see on your journey into your book. As you write, the answers you seek will come to you. For now, take my hand and walk with me.”
