Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra-Thin
In Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin, Matthew Soules issues an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. We rarely consider architecture to be an important factor in contemporary economic and political debates, yet sparsely occupied ultra-thin "pencil towers" develop in our cities, functioning as speculative wealth storage for the superrich, and cavernous "iceberg" homes extend architectural assets many stories below street level. Meanwhile, communities around the globe are blighted by zombie and ghost urbanism, marked by unoccupied neighborhoods and abandoned housing developments.
Learn how the use of architecture as an investment tool has accelerated in recent years, heightening inequality and contributing to worldwide financial instability:
* See how investment imperatives shape what and how we build, changing the very structure of our communities
* Delve into high-profile projects, like the luxury apartments of architect Rafael Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue
* Understand the convergence of technology, finance, and spirituality, which together are configuring the financialized walls within which we eat, sleep, and work
Includes dozens of photos and drawings of architectural phenomena that have changed the way we live. Essential reading for anyone interested in architecture, design, economics, and understanding the way our world is formed.

What did she see?It's been ten long months since Anna Fox last left her home. Ten months during which she has haunted the rooms of her old New York house like a ghost, lost in her memories, too terrified to step outside.

A hormonrendszer betegségei egyre több embert érintenek világszerte, ahhoz azonban, hogy megfelelően tudjuk ezeket kezelni, az okokat fel tudjuk deríteni és nem csupán a tüneteket elnyomni, fontos ismernünk a rendszer működését.
Ez a könyv a hormonrendszer működését, az összefüggéseket, az élettani, a kórélettani alapokat mutatja be, számtalan ábrával segítve a megértést. Megtaláljuk ebben a szövevényes rendszerben a lényeges kapcsolatokat, ezáltal a megelőzés és a terápia is egészen más megvilágításba kerül.
Néhány kérdés, amire választ ad a könyv:
- Milyen összefüggés van az alváshiány és az elhízás között?
- Hogyan befolyásolja a stressz a koleszterinszintet?
- Milyen kapcsolat van a stressz és a meddőség között?
- Miért járnak egyes betegségek kéz a kézben, mint például a PCOS, az inzulinrezisztencia és a Hashimoto?
- Milyen ásványi anyagok szükségesek a hormonok termelődéséhez és működéséhez?
- Miért nem tudunk aludni, ha stresszesek vagyunk?
- Melyek a vércukorszint eltérésének okai?
- Melyek a kalciumháztartásra és a csontépítésre ható hormonok?
- Mit mutatnak a különböző laborvizsgálatok?
A kóros állapotok és a betegségek akkor előzhetők meg és fordíthatók vissza, ha a hormonrendszerre egész egységként tekintünk, nem külön-külön próbáljuk kezelni a tüneteket.

Mötley Crüe - Shout At The Devil: 40th Anniversary (Deluxe Limited Box) 6LP
Mötley Crüe je americká heavymetalová skupina založená v Hollywoode v Kalifornii v roku 1981. Basgitarista Nikki Sixx a bubeník Tommy Lee sa najprv spojili s gitaristom/hlavným spevákom Gregom Leonom. Ale po nejakom čase Leona nahradil gitarista Mick Mars a hlavný spevák Michael White. Posledne menovaný bol čoskoro nahradený Vinceom Neilom a krátko na to bolo zvolené označenie Mötley Crüe. Skupina predala celosvetovo viac ako 100 miliónov albumov. Dosiahli tiež sedem platinových alebo multiplatinových certifikácií, deväť Top 10 albumov v rebríčku Billboard 200 (vrátane Dr. Feelgood z roku 1989, ktorý je jediným albumom Mötley Crüe, ktorý sa dostal na prvé miesto), dvadsaťdva hitov Top 40 mainstreamového rocku a šesť Top 20 popových singlov. Kapela zažila v priebehu rokov niekoľko zmien v zostave, pričom jediným stálym členom zostal Sixx; tieto zahŕňali predstavenie hlavného vokalistu Johna Corabiho (ktorý bol Neilovým náhradníkom v rokoch 1992 až 1996) a bubeníkov Randyho Castilla a Samanthy Maloneyovej, ktorí obaja nahradili Leeho po jeho odchode z Mötley Crüe v roku 1999; sa do kapely vrátil v roku 2004. V októbri 2022, po 41 rokoch služby, Mars oznámil svoj odchod z koncertovania s kapelou, pričom ho nahradil bývalý gitarista Marilyn Manson a Rob Zombie John 5.
Shout at the Devil je druhý štúdiový album, vydaný 23. septembra 1983 cez Elektra Records. Bol to prelomový album skupiny, vďaka ktorému sa Mötley Crüe stal jedným z najpredávanejších heavymetalových počinov 80. rokov. Single „Looks That Kill“ a „Too Young to Fall in Love“ boli pre kapelu miernymi hitmi.
