Can't We Just Print More Money?
Why are all my clothes made in Asia? How come I'm so much richer than my great-great-grandma? And what even is money?
Whether you're buying lunch, looking for a job, or applying for a mortgage, the thing we call 'the economy' is going to set the terms. A pity, then, that many of us have no idea how the economy actually works.
That's where this book comes in. The Bank of England is Britain's most important financial institution, responsible for printing money, regulating banks and keeping the economy running smoothly. Now, the Bank's team take you inside their hallowed halls to explain what economics can - and can't - teach us about the world. Along the way, they offer intriguing examples of econ in action: in financial crises and Freddo prices, growth stages and workers' wages. Accessible, authoritative and surprisingly witty, this is a crash course in economics and why it matters.
That Little Voice In Your Head
That Little Voice in Your Head is the practical guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo Gawdat, the internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mo reveals how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our thought processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy into compassion and investing in our own happiness.
To fix a machine, first you need to find out what's wrong with it. To fix unhappiness, you need to find out what causes it.
This book provides readers with exercises to help reshape their mental processes. Drawing on his expertise in programming and his knowledge of neuroscience, Mo explains how - despite their incredible complexity - our brains behave in ways that are largely predictable. From these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.
Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions modern life gives us.

Hoffmann
The life aesthetic Josef Hoffmann s pioneering minimalism Before aesthete, designer, and architect Josef Hoffmann (1870 1956) came along, Austrian architecture and design was suffocating under a surfeit of opulent ornamentation and bombastic flourish. With his radical new approach and a band of like-minded figures, Hoffmann was a founding father of the Viennese Secession and Wiener Werkstatte, and revolutionized Western aesthetics with a brave new minimalism. A trained architect, Hoffmann lived his life as an extreme aesthete, while also cultivating his image as a bon viveur, a lover of women, a snappy dresser, and a provocative thinker. Gifted with a questing intellect, he continually challenged received orthodoxies and pushed for purer design in buildings and furniture, glass and metalwork. Joining forces with Joseph Maria Olbrich, Gustav Klimt, and Koloman Moser, he founded the Vienna Secession in 1897, and later established the prestigious production community of the Wiener Werkstatte, with its close connection to the Arts and Crafts movement. Over his 60-year career, Hoffmann s radical approach saw the creation of some of Europe s first major modernist buildings, such as the Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and the Palais Stoclet (1905 1911), replete with Klimt murals. Many of his homeware designs remain in production to this day. This essential introduction explores Hoffmann s key ideas, buildings, and designs to examine an essential modernist who continues to directly inform and inspire European aesthetics, from monochrome interior schemes to the cutlery we set on the table."

News from Nowhere
News from Nowhere (1890) is a classic work combining utopian socialism and soft science fiction written by the artist, designer and socialist pioneer William Morris. In the book, the narrator, William Guest, falls asleep after returning from a meeting of the Socialist League and awakes to find himself in a future society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. In this society there is no private property, no big cities, no authority, no monetary system, no divorce, no courts, no prisons, and no class systems. This agrarian society functions simply because the people find pleasure in nature, and therefore they find pleasure in their work.The book explores a number of aspects of this society, including its organisation and the relationships which it engenders between people.

"Die Eroberung von Plassans" heißt der vierte Teil der Romanfolge "Die Rougon-Macquart", der Saga einer französischen Familie aus dem Zweiten Kaiserreich. Der Eroberer ist der Klerikalismus. Der Dichter zeigt uns, wie ein schlauer Geistlicher, der sich in die Familie Franz Mourets (eines Sohnes der Ursula Macquart und des Hutmachers Mouret) einzuschleichen weiß, allmählich die Frau des Hauses vollständig in seine Gewalt bekommt und durch diese Frau seinen verderblichen Einfluß zugunsten des herrschenden Bonapartismus weiter und weiter ausbreitet. Der Familie Mouret selbst wird die Bekanntschaft des Geistlichen (Abbé Faujas) geradezu verhängnisvoll. Die Kinder verlassen das Haus; die Eintracht zwischen Mann und Frau ist geschwunden. Die Frau verfällt der Frömmelei, vernachlässigt ihr Haus, entbrennt in sträflicher Leidenschaft zum Abbé. Der Gatte wird wahnsinnig und zündet sein Haus an, wobei er, der Abbé und dessen Mutter umkommen.

Introducing Postmodernism (EN)
Audiobook Introducing Postmodernism, written by Richard Appignanesi and Chris Garratt. Postmodernism seemed to promise an end to the grim Cold War era of nuclear confrontation and oppressive ideologies. The notoriously proclaimed ‘end of history’, the triumph of liberal democracy over Communist tyranny, proved to be an illusion, and we awoke in the anxious grip of globalization, unpredictable terrorism and unforeseen war.

Human Playground: Why We Play
Why do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, travelling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centred around their games.
Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazare, and many other athletes in these unusual sports. These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play.
Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.
Generations
Are we in the middle of a generational war? Are Millennials really entitled 'snowflakes'? Are Baby Boomers stealing their children's futures? Is Generation X the saddest generation? Will Generation Z fix the climate crisis? In this original and deeply researched book, Professor Bobby Duffy explores whether when we're born determines our attitudes to money, sex, religion, politics, and much else.
Informed by a unique analysis of hundreds of studies, Duffy reveals that many of our preconceptions are just that: tired stereotypes. Revealing and informative, Generations provides a bold new framework for understanding the most divisive issues raging today: from culture wars to climate change and mental health to housing. Including data from all over the globe, and with powerful implications for humanity's future, this big-thinking book will transform how you view the world.
How Bad are Bananas
How Bad Are Bananas? was a groundbreaking book when first published in 2009, when most of us were hearing the phrase 'carbon footprint' for the first time. Mike Berners-Lee set out to inform us what was important (aviation, heating, swimming pools) and what made very little difference (bananas, naturally packaged, are good!).
This new edition updates all the figures (from data centres to hosting a World Cup) and introduces many areas that have become a regular part of modern life - Twitter, the Cloud, Bitcoin, electric bikes and cars, even space tourism. Berners-Lee runs a considered eye over each area and gives us the figures to manage and reduce our own carbon footprint, as well as to lobby our companies, businesses and government. His findings, presented in clear and even entertaining prose, are often surprising. And they are essential if we are to address climate change.
V pravej chvíli
"Modrooká Židovka Hadassa Benjaminová musí zachrániť svoj ľud, aj keby sa jej nemalo podariť zachrániť samu seba.
Píše sa rok 1944 a Hadassa Benjaminová má pocit, že Boh ju opustil. V jednej chvíli unikne smrti zastrelením, v druhej sa ocitá v rukách nového nepriateľa. Veliteľ tranzitného tábora Terezín v Československu plukovník Aric von Schmidt ju prinúti k tomu, aby preňho pracovala. Jej árijský výzor jej umožňuje skryť sa za falošnú identitu Stelly Müllerovej, no aby si túto masku Schmidtovej sekretárky uchovala, je nútená prizerať sa, ako jej ľud posielajú do Osvienčimu. Tuší, že v srdci jej zamestnávateľa sa ukrývajú tajomné hlbiny a žiada ho o pomoc pre tých, čo sú v tábore. Hoci každým pokusom pomôcť väzňom riskuje svoje odhalenie, Aricova zhovievavosť v nej vzbudzuje nádej. Vo chvíli, kedy musí podstúpiť rozhodujúcu obeť, je vo svojej statočnosti postavená pred desivú voľbu. Možno ju naozaj Boh priviedol do tábora v pravej chvíli; ako však môže zachrániť svoj ľud, keď nedokáže zachrániť samu seba? "

Černý krasavec A1/A2
Kniha anglické spisovatelky Anny Sewellové vypráví o osudu krásného černého hřebce a provází nás celým jeho životem, od mládí až po stáří. Černý krasavec putuje od jednoho majitele k druhému, prožívá šťastné i těžké chvíle, nalézá nové přátele a také přichází o své blízké. Děj se odehrává ve viktoriánské Anglii, v době, kdy koně byli klíčoví, jelikož byli pro lidi hlavním dopravním prostředkem. Nicméně, nebylo s nimi vždy zacházeno správně. Černý krasavec od raného věku přichází na to, že lidé mohou být buď nejlepším spojencem koně, nebo jeho největším nepřítelem. Příběh je převyprávěn zjednodušenou angličtinou, a proto se nemusíte obávat, že byste textu neporozuměli. Je výbornou volbou pro začínajícího čtenáře, ať dítě či dospělého. Na každé stránce naleznete český zrcadlový překlad. V úvodu knihy se seznámíte s nejdůležitějšími termíny, zjistíte tak více například o postroji koně nebo jeho vzhledu.
