Küzdelem a Parkinson-kór ellen
Ez a könyv kristálytisztán megmutatja az utat, amelyre közösen kell rálépnünk – miközben megkongatja a vészharangot, és azonnali cselekvésre buzdít!” Davis Phinney, a Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's alapítója A Parkinson-kór korunk leggyorsabban terjedő neurodegeneratív betegsége. Az utóbbi 25 évben a Parkinson-kórban szenvedők száma csak az USA-ban több mint a kétszeresére, 2,6 millióról 6,3 millióra nőtt. 2040-re ez a szám várhatóan ismét megduplázódik, megközelítve a döbbenetes 13 milliót. A Parkinson-kór kockázatát növelő rovarirtó szerek és mérgező kemikáliák az életünk részei a mai napig, miközben az új terápiák kifejlesztése igencsak elmaradozik a kór megállíthatatlannak tűnő előrehaladásához képest. A leghatékonyabb kezelési módszerek fél évszázadosak, miközben tömegek maradnak diagnózis felállítása és megfelelő kezelés nélkül. A Küzdelem a Parkinson-kór ellen című könyvben a szerzők – a téma négy szaktekintélye, köztük egy idegtudós és három Parkinson-kórra szakosodott neurológus – felvázolják: • milyen új vezérelvekkel, védelemmel és erőforrásokkal lassítható a betegség • miként biztosítható a minél jobb támogatás és ellátás a több millió érintett számára • milyen új terápiák jelennek meg a láthatáron, és mennyire közeli a lehetősége olyan új kezeléseknek, amelyek lassíthatják, vagy megállíthatják a Parkinson-kór progresszióját • mi mindent tehetünk meg mindnyájan azért, hogy csökkentsük a kockázatot, növeljük a forrásokat a betegség elleni harchoz • konkrét lépéseket a betegségek tüneteinek csökkentésére, az életminőség javítására • megosztják bátor betegek, fáradhatatlan gondozók és érdekérvényesítő aktivisták tapasztalatait és történeteit Itt az idő, hogy megszólaltassuk a vészcsengőt, mert a Parkinson-kór megállítása nem kell, hogy elérhetetlen álom maradjon. Rengeteg embert kímélhetünk meg a szenvedéstől, egyénileg és együttesen is tehetünk néhány igen gyakorlati lépést a károsodás megállítására, ehhez szolgál útmutatóul ez a könyv. „Ez a könyv végre reflektorfénybe helyezi nemcsak azt, hogy milyen nagy szükség van a Parkinson-kór megállítására, hanem az ezzel kapcsolatos legfontosabb kérdéseket is. A Parkinson-kór közösség minden tagjának – betegeknek, kutatóknak, orvosoknak és érdekérvényesítőknek – az a feladata, hogy megossza a könyvet, és tegyen róla, hogy meghallják a szerzők hangját.” Helen Matthews, a The Cure Parkinson’s Trust igazgatóhelyettese

Weaponisation of Everything
Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted today, traditional conflict—fought with guns, bombs, and drones—has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.
As conflict once again returns to Europe, transnational crime expert Mark Galeotti provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking survey of the new way of war. Ranging across the globe, Galeotti shows how today’s conflicts are fought with everything from disinformation and espionage to crime and subversion, leading to instability within countries and a legitimacy crisis across the globe. But rather than suggest that we hope for a return to a bygone era of “stable” warfare, Galeotti details ways of surviving, adapting, and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by this new reality.

Frankenstein
Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller.
Victor Frankenstein driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel.
Although first published in 1818, Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.
This Is Your Mind On Plants
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
'It's a trip - engrossing, eye-opening, mind altering' New Statesman
'Fascinating. Pollan is the perfect guide ... curious, careful, open minded' The Guardian
Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos.
In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.

Should we trust our intuitions, and if so, when? How can we avoid being tripped up by cognitive biases when we are not even aware of them?
You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake! offers clear and practical advice that distils the latest developments in behavioural economics and cognitive psychology into actionable tools for making clever, effective decisions in business and beyond.
The Wonderful Adventures Of Mrs Seacole In Many Lands

Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all
Mary Seacole - traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time - defied a prejudiced British government to care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.

A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.
In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring legacy.
