Ki vigasztalja meg a gyerekeket? - Válás és gyász a családban
"Visszatartom a dühömet. Ha kiengedném, akkor megtelne vele az egész szoba."
"Azt képzeltem, hogy akit szeretek, annak baja esik, mert én rossz vagyok."
"Nem volt egy élő lélek, aki megértett volna, és ez végtelenül magányossá tett. Megtanultam a leckét, hogy tapintatból erről nem beszélünk."
Vajon mit élnek át a gyerekek, amikor szüleik válnak, vagy amikor elvesztik egy közeli családtagjukat? Mire van szükségük ezekben a nehéz időkben? És ki vigasztalja meg őket, ha a szülők saját fájdalmukban, dühükben nem tudnak feléjük fordulni?
Súlyos veszteség idején a gyerekek legtöbbször nem tudják megfogalmazni, min mennek keresztül. Modern világunkban ráadásul a gyász tabu: a felnőttek sokszor saját érzéseikkel sincsenek tisztában, nemhogy a gyerekekével. Így a hiány meggyászolásában - ha egyáltalán megtörténik - a kicsik általában magukra maradnak, és ez a magány és elhagyatottság felnőttéletükre is kihat.
Singer Magdolna gyászterapeuta bevezet minket egy rejtett világba: gyerekek és felnőttek mesélnek fiatalon átélt veszteségeikről, és arról, miként tudtak megküzdeni fájdalmas érzéseikkel. Harminc különálló történet segít megérteni, mit éreznek és észlelnek a gyermekek válás és halotti gyász idején, a megható önvallomásokból pedig az is felsejlik, hogyan vigasztalhatjuk, támogathatjuk őket életük e nehéz szakaszában.
"A felelősség és a szeretet ébresztő csengője ez a könyv. Értsük meg a gyermek veszteségeit és tanuljuk meg gyámolítani, érteni, átérezni és megfelelően viszonyulni a sebzett lélekhez! Ne feledjük, ez lesz a gyermek mintája, ahogyan majd ezt teszi ő is saját gyermekével!"
dr. Bagdy Emőke, a pszichológia professzora
Singer Magdolna író, újságíró, gyásztanácsadó, mentálhigiénés szakember, a Napfogyatkozás Egyesület elnöke, a gyász hazai szakértője. Eddig megjelent 15 könyve az emberi sors elkerülhetetlen veszteségeit járja körül. Az írás mellett gyászcsoportvezetőket képez ki, válást feldolgozó csoportokat vezet, valamint egyénileg segíti a veszteséget elszenvedett személyeket. Mestere, Polcz Alaine szellemi útját igyekszik követni.

Wonders Beyond Numbers
In this book, Johnny Ball tells one of the most important stories in world history - the story of mathematics. By introducing us to the major characters and leading us through many historical twists and turns, Johnny slowly unravels the tale of how humanity built up a knowledge and understanding of shapes, numbers and patterns from ancient times, a story that leads directly to the technological wonderland we live in today. As Galileo said, `Everything in the universe is written in the language of mathematics', and Wonders Beyond Numbers is your guide to this language. Mathematics is only one part of this rich and varied tale; we meet many fascinating personalities along the way, such as a mathematician who everyone has heard of but who may not have existed; a Greek philosopher who made so many mistakes that many wanted his books destroyed; a mathematical artist who built the largest masonry dome on earth, which builders had previously declared impossible; a world-renowned painter who discovered mathematics and decided he could no longer stand the sight of a brush; and a philosopher who lost his head, but only after he had died. Enriched with tales of colourful personalities and remarkable discoveries, there is also plenty of mathematics for keen readers to get stuck into. Written in Johnny Ball's characteristically light-hearted and engaging style, this book is packed with historical insight and mathematical marvels; join Johnny and uncover the wonders found beyond the numbers.

Speaking From Among Bone
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Eleven-year-old amateur detective and ardent chemist Flavia de Luce is used to digging up clues, whether they’re found among the potions in her laboratory or between the pages of her insufferable sisters’ diaries. What she is not accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancred’s death, the English hamlet of Bishop’s Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saint’s tomb. Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove there’s never such thing as an open-and-shut case. Acclaim for Speaking from Among the Bones “[Alan] Bradley scores another success.

HHhH
Two men have been enlisted to kill the head of the Gestapo. This is Operation Anthropoid, Prague, 1942: two Czechoslovakian parachutists sent on a daring mission by London to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich - chief of the Nazi secret services, 'the hangman of Prague', 'the blond beast', 'the most dangerous man in the Third Reich'. His boss is Heinrich Himmler but everyone in the SS says 'Himmler's brain is called Heydrich', which in German spells "HHhH". All the characters in "HHhH" are real. All the events depicted are true. But alongside the nerve-shredding preparations for the attack runs another story: when you are a novelist writing about real people, how do you resist the temptation to make things up? "HHhH" is a panorama of the Third Reich told through the life of one outstandingly brutal man, a story of unbearable heroism and loyalty, revenge and betrayal. It is improbably entertaining and electrifyingly modern, a moving and shattering work of fiction.

Grace Abounding
I evidently saw that unless the great God of his infinite grace and bounty, had voluntarily chosen me to be a vessel of mercy, though I should desire, and long, and labour until my heart did break, no good could come of it ...How can you tell you are Elected?' (GA, 47) In seventeenth-century England, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination, with its belief in the predetermined salvation of the few and damnation of the many, led many Christians to an anguished search for evidence of God's favour. John Bunyan's Grace Abounding records this spiritual crisis and its gruelling fluctuations between hope and despair in all its psychological intensity. It is a classic of spiritual autobiography - a genre which flourished in seventeenth-century England, as anxiety over one's spiritual state encouraged rigorous self-scrutiny and the sharing of spiritual experiences. This edition sets Grace Abounding alongside four of the most interesting and varied contemporary spiritual autobiographies, making its cultural milieu more meaningful to the modern reader.

Nova Express
The most ferociously political and prophetic book of the Cut-Up Trilogy, Nova Express fires the reader into a textual outer space to show us our burning planet and to reveal the operations of the Nova Mob in all their ugliness. As with The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded, William Burroughs deploys his cut-up methods to make a visionary demand that we take back the world that has been stolen from us. Edited and introduced by renowned Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, this new edition reveals how Nova Express was cut from an extraordinary wealth of typescripts to create startling new forms of poetic possibility. The third book of Burroughs' linguistically prophetic 'cut-up' trilogy - following The Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded - Nova Express is a hilarious and Swiftian parody of bureaucracy and the frailty of the human animal.

The Japanese Devil Fish Girl
The pickled Martian's tentacles are fraying at the ends and Professor Coffin's Most Meritorious Unnatural Attraction (the remains of the original alien autopsy, performed by Sir Frederick Treves at the London Hospital) is no longer drawing the crowds
. It's 1895; nearly a decade since Mars invaded Earth, chronicled by H.G. Wells in THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Wrecked Martian spaceships, back-engineered by Charles Babbage and Nikola Tesla, have carried the Queen's Own Electric Fusiliers to the red plan
et, and Mars is now part of the ever-expanding British Empire. The less-than-scrupulous sideshow proprietor likes Off-worlders' cash, so he needs a sensational new attraction. Word has reached him of the Japanese Devil Fish Girl; nothing quite like h
er has ever existed before. But Professor Coffin's quest to possess the ultimate showman's exhibit is about to cause considerable friction amongst the folk of other planets. Sufficient, in fact, to spark off Worlds War Two.

Media Revolution in Europe
The "rags to riches" story of Karol Jakubowicz's involvement in the work of the Council of Europe took him from the role of an awestruck newcomer from Poland in 1990 to that of the Chairman of the Steering Committee on the Media and New Communication Services (2005-06). Along the way, he was elected, delegated by the Steering Committee, and invited by the Council of Europe Secretariat to serve in a number of other capacities. In all of them, he contributed a wide variety of papers, reports and studies to assist the steering committee and other bodies in collecting information and formulating ideas in the general field of freedom of expression, creation of free and democratic media systems (including the issue of public service media), regulation of transfrontier television, the adjustment of Council of Europe human rights standards to the conditions of the information society, and the development of broadcasting legislation in Council of Europe member states.
Scrappy Little Nobody
A collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award-nominated actress and star of "Up in the Air" and "Pitch Perfect."
I m excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I'd like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude, pettiness, and the frequency with which I embarrass myself. And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well-educated and accomplished comedy writers, I'm very, very funny on Twitter, according to Buzzfeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea. Quick question: are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit! Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick s autobiographical collection of essays amusingly recounts memorable moments throughout her life, from her middle class upbringing in New England to the blockbuster movies that have made her one of Hollywood s most popular actresses today. Expanding upon the witty and ironic dispatches for which she is known, Anna Kendrick s essays offer her one-of-a-kind commentary on the absurdities she s experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture."

Sickened
A young girl is perched on the cold chrome of yet another doctor's examining table, missing yet another day of school. Just twelve, she's tall, skinny, and weak. It's four o'clock, and she hasn't been allowed to eat anything all day. Her mother, on the other hand, seems curiously excited. She's about to suggest open-heart surgery on her child to 'get to the bottom of this.' She checks her teeth for lipstick and, as the doctor enters, shoots the girl a warning glance. This child will not ruin her plans. From early childhood, Julie Gregory was continually X-rayed, medicated, and operated on in the vain pursuit of an illness that was created in her mother's mind. Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is the world's most hidden and dangerous form of child abuse, but Julie Gregory not only survived, she escaped the powerful orbit of her mother's madness and rebuilt her identity as a vibrant, healthy young woman: not solely a victim of child abuse.

A Putyin-varázs
Láttam tegnap este a híradóban,
Arról beszélt, hogy válaszút előtt a világ,
Ilyen férfival jó otthon és vendégségben,
És én olyat akarok, mint Putyin.
"Hideg tekintetű uralkodó", "dühös cár", "diktátor", aki mindig "vonakodott eljátszani ezt a szerepet" - de ... Folytatás ›› nem tehet mást, mert ezt várja el tőle az orosz nép, amely ma is, mint a középkorban, csak a teljhatalmú cárt fogadja el igazi vezetőnek...
Arutunyan nem egyszerű életrajzot írt Putyinról, hanem az orosz történelem és mentalitás mélyére hatolva elemzi az oroszok és uralkodójuk kapcsolatát: a többpárti demokrácia csalóka díszletei fölött álló "cárt", aki önmaga dönti el, hogy épp elnök vagy miniszterelnök akar lenni, és ha kedve tartja, megalázhatja az ország leggazdagabb oligarcháit.
Arutunyan nem bulvártitkokat próbál kiteregetni Putyinról, bár sok izgalmas részletet elmesél az életéről is, őt az igazi megértés vágya vezérli. Mi ma Oroszország? Korrupt, félfeudalista maffiaállam? Vagy valami egészen más? Hogy nem igazi demokrácia, az biztos, legalábbis a szerző szerint. És vajon maga Putyin irányítja úgy a folyamatokat, hogy az oroszok úgy tekintsenek rá, mint egyszerre démoni és isteni vezetőre? És miért van az, hogy még sok bátor ellenzékinek is remegni kezd a térde, ha Putyin ránéz a hideg, fakókék szemével?
Anna Arutunyan amerikai-orosz újságíró, miközben több mint tíz éve tudósít az orosz politikai élet eseményeiről, és könyvet írt az oroszországi médiáról, mindig Putyint és az általa kialakított új politikai rendszert próbálta megérteni. Ennek eredménye ez a könyv, mely most a világ számos országában megjelenik.

Disrupted
Dan Lyons was Technology Editor at Newsweek Magazine for years, a magazine writer at the top of his profession. One Friday morning he received a phone call: his job no longer existed. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was unemployed and facing financial oblivion. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital. They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the nebulous role of "marketing fellow." What could possibly go wrong? What follows is a hilarious and excoriating account of Dan's time at the start-up and a revealing window onto the dysfunctional culture that prevails in a world flush with cash and devoid of experience. Filled with stories of meaningless jargon, teddy bears at meetings, push-up competitions and all-night parties, this uproarious tale is also a trenchant analysis of the dysfunctional start-up world, a de facto conspiracy between those who start companies and those who fund them.It is a world where bad ideas are rewarded with hefty investments, where companies blow money lavishing perks on their post-collegiate workforces, and where everybody is trying to hang on just long enough to cash out with a fortune.
