The Gospel of Wellness
In this in-depth, provocative criticism of the wellness industry, journalist Rina Raphael examines the history of an industry that modestly began with diets and calisthenics and has grown into the current mammoth entity of luxe self-care. Whether it's yoga, pilates, barre, spinning, juicing, floating or chanting, there is something for everyone in an industry promising women health and vitality in the most fashionable package.
At times both fun and funny, from interviews with leading players in the industry to adventures in more bizarre practices such as desert dancing while drinking your own urine, The Gospel of Wellness reveals how its growth is a direct result of gender inequalities and structural sexism within medicine and society, forcing women to look elsewhere for health solutions. In theory a huge force for good, women are now flooded with offerings from more exploitative areas of the industry, peddling snake oil and questionable ideas for a pretty price. Balancing the bad with the good, the book considers what wellness offers now and what lies ahead.
For anyone who values their exercise but has raised an eyebrow at the use of a certain jade egg, here is a lively exploration of an industry that has captivated millions of women around the world.
Superspy Science
The adventures of James Bond have thrilled readers since Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale was published in 1953, and when the movie of Dr No was released in 1962, Bond quickly became the world's favourite secret agent.
Science and technology have always been central to the plots that make up the world of Bond, and in Superspy Science Kathryn Harkup explores the full range of 007's exploits and the arms, technologies, tactics and downfalls of his various foes. From the practicalities of building a volcano-based lair, to whether being covered in gold paint really will kill you, and - if your plan is to take over the world - whether it is better to use bacteria, bombs, or poison - this book has all the answers and more.
Could our favourite Bond villains actually achieve world domination? Were the huge variety of weapons and technology in Bond's arsenal from both the films and books ever actually developed in real life? And would 007 actually escape all those close shaves intact? From the plots to the gadgets to the ludicrous ways that his life is threatened, Superspy Science takes an in-depth look at the scientific world of James Bond.
A csodák tanítása
Ami valós, azt semmi nem fenyegetheti.
Ami valótlan, az nem létezik.
Ebben rejlik Isten békéje.
Így kezdődik A csodák tanítása, alapvető különbséget téve valós és valótlan dolgok, tudás és érzékelés között. A tudás maga az igazság, amely megváltoztathatatlan, örökkévaló és minden ellentmondástól mentes. Nincs ellentéte, nincs kezdete és nincs vége. Egyszerűen csak létezik.
A megbocsátás az emlékezés eszköze, ezáltal fordul visszájára a világ gondolkodása. Ha múltunk egyetlen darabkája sem korlátoz már bennünket, emlékezni fogunk Istenre. A tanulás csak eddig juthat. Ha készen állunk, Maga Isten fogja megtenni az utolsó lépést, hogy visszatérhessünk Hozzá.
Bővebb információ:
A csodák tanítása - A Course in Miracles immáron több millió ember életét változtatta meg. Ez a három részből álló könyv egy 1965-ben kezdődött belső diktálás során érkezett az amerikai Columbia Egyetem egyik pszichológusához, Helen Schucmanhoz. A Kruzus anyaga először 1976-ban jelent meg a Foundation for Inner Peace (Belső Béke Alapítvány, USA) jóvoltából. Azóta közel ötven országban több, mint 1.500.000 példányát vásárolták meg.
Mi ez a könyv?
A csodák tanítása alapvetően azért jött létre, hogy elősegítse az egyéni tanulást.
A könyv három részből áll: a törzsszövegből, a munkafüzetből és a tanítók munkáját segítő kézikönyvből. Hogy a tanulók milyen sorrendben és hogyan tanulmányozzák az egyes részeket, az csakis az ő igényeiktől és beállítottságuktól függ.
A Kurzus alaposan átgondolt, mind elméleti, mind pedig gyakorlati szinten lépésről lépésre kifejtett tanmenettel bír, amely az elmélettel szemben a gyakorlatot, a tapasztalást helyezi előtérbe. Bár keresztény nyelvezetet használ, egyetemes spirituális témákkal foglalkozik, és többször is kijelenti, hogy ez az út csupán az egyetemes tanrend egy lehetséges változata. Számos egyéb módszer létezik, amelyek csak formájukban térnek el egymástól - végül minden út Istenhez vezet.
A javarészt elméleti jellegű törzsszöveg fekteti le a gondolati rendszer alapjait, erre épülnek aztán a munkafüzet gyakorlatai. Gyakorlati alkalmazás nélkül a törzsszöveg javarészt csak elvont fogalmak gyűjteménye marad, és nem teljesítheti be a Kurzus fő célját. A munkafüzet háromszázhatvanöt gyakorlatot tartalmaz, az év minden napjára egyet. Mindazonáltal nem szükségszerű ebben a tempóban haladni: akár több napig is elidőzhetsz egy-egy számodra különösen szimpatikus gyakorlatnál, instrukcióink csupán arra kérnek, hogy ne akarj napi egynél többet elvégezni.
Végezetül a tanári kézikönyv választ kínál a tanulók által leggyakrabban feltett kérdésekre, valamint tisztázza a Kurzus legfontosabb kifejezéseit.
A Kurzus nem igyekszik befejezettnek feltüntetni magát, és a munkafüzet gyakorlatainak sem az a céljuk, hogy minden további gyakorlást fölöslegessé tegyenek. A végén minden tanuló kettesben marad Belső Tanítójával, Aki saját belátása szerint irányítja majd további előrehaladását.
Ismerd meg te is a könyvet, amely több millió ember életét változtatta meg szerte a világon!

The Jealousy Man and Other Stories
Filled with dark thrills, twisted minds and vengeful hearts, these twelve page-turning short stories from 'the king of Scandicrime' (FT) and creator of the iconic detective Harry Hole, will have you reading late into the night.
We meet a Greek detective who has become an expert on jealousy thanks to some hard-earned lessons from his private life. Far away, in another country, a taxi driver finds his wife's earring in a car belonging to his boss and sets out to discover how it ended up there. High in the skies above, a woman is on board a plane headed to London, about to end her own life in the wake of her husband's affair with her best friend. But who is the man sitting next to her?
Nesbo also takes us to the near future, to a dystopian America, where the upper-class elite is waiting atop a skyscraper to be evacuated while the masses fight for survival in the streets below. We are introduced to two best friends on their way to the running of the bulls in Pamplona when they fall in love with the same girl and, in the epic and vicious finale, we meet a psychologist who also happens to be an assassin.
In his first ever collection of short stories, this master of crime writing skilfully draws in the reader as we watch the potentially fatal outcomes of humanity's most powerful emotions play out on the page.

Japanese Woodblock Prints. 40th Ed.
From Edouard Manet's portrait of naturalist writer Emile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh's meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe-but often remains misunderstood as an "exotic" artifact that helped inspire Western creativity.
The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art-including, as Karl Marx put it, that "all that is solid melts into air"-were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century.
This volume, derived from the original XXL monograph, lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. Ranging from the 17th-century development of decadent ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," to the decline and later resurgence of prints in the early 20th century, the images collected in this edition make up an unmatched record not only of a unique genre in art history, but also of the shifting mores and cultural development of Japan.
From mystical mountains to snowy passes, samurai swordsmen to sex workers in shop windows, each piece is explored as a work of art in its own right, revealing the stories and people behind the motifs. We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print-beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions-alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans-rock stars who populated the "floating world" and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living-stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship.
As part of our 40th anniversary series, this edition compiles the finest extant impressions from museums and private collections across the globe in a lightweight, accessible format, offering extensive descriptions to guide us through this frantic period in Japanese art history.

Thinking Fast and Slow
Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent?

This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It will enable to you make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.
The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order
The most sweeping account of how neoliberalism came to dominate American politics for nearly a half century before crashing against the forces of Trumpism on the right and a new progressivism on the left.
The epochal shift toward neoliberalism-a web of related policies that, broadly speaking, reduced the footprint of government in society and reassigned economic power to private market forces-that began in the United States and Great Britain in the late 1970s fundamentally changed the world. Today, the word "neoliberal" is often used to condemn a broad swath of policies, from prizing free market principles over people to advancing privatization programs in developing nations around the world.
To be sure, neoliberalism has contributed to a number of alarming trends, not least of which has been a massive growth in income inequality. Yet as the eminent historian Gary Gerstle argues in The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order, these indictments fail to reckon with the full contours of what neoliberalism was and why its worldview had such persuasive hold on both the right and the left for three decades. As he shows, the neoliberal order that emerged in America in the 1970s
fused ideas of deregulation with personal freedoms, open borders with cosmopolitanism, and globalization with the promise of increased prosperity for all. Along with tracing how this worldview emerged in America and grew to dominate the world, Gerstle explores the previously unrecognized extent to which its
triumph was facilitated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist allies. He is also the first to chart the story of the neoliberal order's fall, originating in the failed reconstruction of Iraq and Great Recession of the Bush years and culminating in the rise of Trump and a reinvigorated Bernie Sanders-led American left in the 2010s.
An indispensable and sweeping re-interpretation of the last fifty years, this book illuminates how the ideology of neoliberalism became so infused in the daily life of an era, while probing what remains of that ideology and its political programs as America enters an uncertain future.
