Horrorstor
It's a classic old-fashioned haunted house story - set in a big box Swedish furniture superstore.

Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Bracken glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofabeds-clearly, someone or something is up to no good. To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-til-dawn shift-and they encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new 21st century economy. A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting (and full of contemporary fears), Horrorstor comes conveniently packaged in the form of a retail catalogue, complete with illustrations of ready-to-assemble furniture and other, more sinister accessories.

The Throwback Special
Here is the absorbing story of twenty-two men who gather every fall to painstakingly reenact what ESPN called "the most shocking play in NFL history" and the Washington Redskins dubbed the "Throwback Special": the November 1985 play in which the Redskins' Joe Theismann had his leg horribly broken by Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants live on Monday Night Football. With wit and great empathy, Chris Bachelder introduces us to Charles, a psychologist whose expertise is in high demand; George, a garrulous public librarian; Fat Michael, envied and despised by the others for being exquisitely fit; Jeff, a recently divorced man who has become a theorist of marriage; and many more. Over the course of a weekend, the men reveal their secret hopes, fears, and passions as they choose roles, spend a long night of the soul preparing for the play, and finally enact their bizarre ritual for what may be the last time. Along the way, mishaps, misunderstandings, and grievances pile up, and the comforting traditions holding the group together threaten to give way.The Throwback Special is a moving and comic tale filled with pitch-perfect observations about manhood, marriage, middle age, and the rituals we all enact as part of being alive.

Az idő rendje
Miért a múltra emlékszünk; miért nem a jövőre? Mi vagyunk az időben, vagy az idő létezik mibennünk? Mit jelent az valójában, hogy az idő „folyik”? Mi köti az időt a mi szubjektív természetünkhöz?
Az idő rendje a fizikának egy olyan jelenségét tárgyalja, amely mindenkit érdekel: az időt. Az idő olyan rejtély, amelyről mindenkinek van személyes tapasztalata. A fizikusok számára is rejtély: ők az idő radikális átalakulásának lehettek szemtanúi Newtontól Einsteinig, a kvantummechanikáig, végül a hurok-kvantumgravitáció elméletéig, amelynek Carlo Rovelli az egyik legjelentősebb képviselője. Newton egyenleteiben mindig ott volt az idő, de mára eltűnt a fizika alapegyenleteiből. Múlt és jövő már nem egymás ellentettjei. A fizikának azt kell felszámolnia, amit mindenki hisz: hogy az egyetlen biztos pont a jelen.
Carlo Rovelli, miközben e rendkívüli gondolattársítások közül három példát megvizsgál, betekintést ad a fizika múltjába, s elvezet odáig, ameddig az időről való jelen tudásunk elér: „a ma még nem ismert dolgok hatalmas, az éj sötétjébe burkolózó csillagóceánjáig.”
„Általában úgy gondoljuk el az időt, mint valami egyszerű, magától értetődő dolgot; órával mérhető, és mindennek fittyet hányva, egyenletesen halad előre a múltból a jövő felé. Az idő múlásával meghatározott rendben következnek egymásra a múlt, a jelen és a jövő eseményei; a múlt végérvényes, a jövő nyitott. Csakhogy bebizonyosodott: ez mind tévedés.

Szeretet és szolgálat - Szent Pál bölcsességei
"A szeretet türelmes, a szeretet jóságos, a szeretet nem féltékeny, nem kérkedik, nem is kevély. Nem tapintatlan, nem keresi a maga javát, nem gerjed haragra, a rosszat nem rója fel. Nem örül a gonoszságnak, örömét az igazság győzelmében leli. Mindent eltűr, mindent elhisz, mindent remél, mindent elvisel."
"Sokan úgy élnek, mint Krisztus keresztjének ellenségei. Végük a pusztulás, istenük a hasuk, azzal dicsekszenek, ami gyalázatukra válik, s eszüket földi dolgokon járatják."
"Akik ugyanis test szerint élnek, azok a testiekre törekszenek, akik azonban a Lélek szerint, a lelkiekre törekszenek. De a test kívánsága a halálba vezet, a Lélek vágyódása ellenben élet és béke."
Hálát adok Urunknak, Jézus Krisztusnak, aki erőt adott nekem, megbízhatónak tartott és meghívott a szolgálatára, engem, aki azelőtt káromoltam s üldöztem és erőszakos ember voltam. De megkönyörült rajtam, mivel hitetlenségemben tudatlanul cselekedtem. Sőt valósággal elárasztott az Úr kegyelme a Krisztus Jézusban való hittel és az iránta való szeretettel.
Szent Pál, eredeti nevén Saulus, Krisztus üldözőjéből lett a Megváltó elkötelezett követője. Apostolként szinte az egész akkor ismert világot bejárta, hirdetve Krisztus tanításait. A korai keresztény gyülekezetekhez írott levelei jelentős részét képezik az Újszövetségnek.
Ezekből a levelekből válogattunk tanulságos, megszívlelendő mondásokat, amelyek a mai kor hívő és nem hívő emberei számára is útmutatást jelentenek az életben való eligazodáshoz.
Radicals
'Thoughtful and intelligent' Observer'Inside the anti-political revolt that gave us Brexit and Trump' Evening Standard'Fascinating... Excellent.' Literary ReviewIn the last few years the world has changed in unexpected ways. The power of radical ideas and groups is growing.
What was once considered extreme is now the mainstream. But what is life like on the political fringes? What is the real power of radicals? Radicals is an exploration of the individuals, groups and movements who are rejecting the way we live now, and attempting to find alternatives. In it, Jamie Bartlett, one of the world's leading thinkers on radical politics and technology, takes us inside the strange and exciting worlds of the innovators, disruptors, idealists and extremists who think society is broken, and believe they know how to fix it.
From dawn raids into open mines to the darkest recesses of the internet, Radicals introduces us to some of the most secretive and influential movements today: techno-futurists questing for immortality, far-right groups seeking to close borders, militant environmentalists striving to save the planet's natural reserves by any means possible, libertarian movements founding new countries, autonomous cooperatives in self-sustaining micro-societies, and psychedelic pioneers attempting to heal society with the help of powerful hallucinogens. As well as providing a fascinating glimpse at the people and ideas driving these groups, Radicals also presents a startling argument: radicals are not only the symptoms of a deep unrest within the world today, but might also offer the most plausible models for our future.

Ghosts of Spain
The Spanish are reputed to be amongst Europe's most voluble people. So why have they kept silent about the terrors of the Spanish Civil War and the rule of dictator Generalisimo Francisco Franco? The appearance - sixty years after that war ended - of mass graves containing victims of Franco's death squads has finally broken what Spaniards call 'the pact of forgetting'. At this charged moment, Giles Tremlett embarked on a journey around Spain - and through Spanish history. Tremlett's journey was also an attempt to make sense of his personal experience of the Spanish. Why do they dislike authority figures, but are cowed by a doctor's white coat? How had women embraced feminism without men noticing? What binds gypsies, jails and flamenco? Why do the Spanish go to plastic surgeons, donate their organs, visit brothels or take cocaine more than other Europeans?

She is a 200 year old vampire, forever frozen in childhood, and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood.

A World of Three Zeros
Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi economist who invented microcredit, founded Grameen Bank, and earned a Nobel Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. In his latest book, he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken--that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. To save humankind and the planet, we need a new economic system based on a more realistic vision of human nature--one that recognizes altruism and generosity as driving forces that are just as fundamental and powerful as self-interest.
Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the decade since Yunus first began to articulate his ideas for a new form of capitalism, thousands of companies, nonprofits, and individual entrepreneurs around the world have embraced them. From Albania to Colombia, India to Germany, France to Malaysia, Haiti to Cambodia, businesses and enterprises are being created that are committed to reducing poverty, improving health care and education, cleaning up pollution, and serving other urgent human needs in ingenious, innovative ways. In A World of Three Zeros, Yunus describes the new civilization that is emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire and offers a challenge to young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens to embrace his mission to eradicate three unintended and pernicious aftereffects of unrestrained capitalism, and so improve the prospects for everyone.
