The Queens Gambit
When she is sent to an orphanage at the age of eight, Beth Harmon soon discovers two ways to escape her surroundings, albeit fleetingly: playing chess and taking the little green pills given to her and the other children to keep them subdued. Before long, it becomes apparent that hers is a prodigious talent, and as she progresses to the top of the US chess rankings she is able to forge a new life for herself. But she can never quite overcome her urge to self-destruct. For Beth, there's more at stake than merely winning and losing.

Egy demokrácia halála
A demokrácia világszerte válságban van. 30 évvel a rendszerváltás után a méltányos politikai verseny feltételei drámaian beszűkültek Magyarországon is. Hogyan jutottunk ide? Vannak, akik szerint a jobbágymentalitás, a turáni átok vagy a gonosz és ostoba politikusok tehetnek mindenről. A létező magyarázatokat vitatva, illetve kiegészítve e könyv – a ’80-as évektől 2018-ig terjedő időszakot elemezve – annak bemutatására vállalkozik, hogy a magyar autoriter fordulat egy lehetséges politikai válasz a globalizáció feszültségeire, illeszkedve a hibrid államkapitalizmusok nemzetközi világába.Szociális fejlesztő állam hiányában a külső világgazdasági integráció belső dezintegrációhoz vezetett. E válságot kihasználva a Fidesz a nemzeti és transznacionális tőkével szövetkezve egy új rendszert épített, amely az autoriter politikákat a tőkefelhalmozás szélsőséges eszközeivel ötvözi. Ezt a fordulatot a munkásosztálynak a politikai baloldalból való gyökeres kiábrándulása tette lehetővé. Az új rezsim ugyanakkor a vagyon és a jövedelem soha nem látott újraelosztását hajtja végre, lentről felfelé, a nemzeti burzsoázia javára, konzerválva Magyarország alulfejlettségét. A kötet háromévnyi robusztus empirikus kutatómunkára alapozva, kiterjedt ismeretanyagot megmozgatva épít fel egy innovatív elméleti narratívát, elemzi az autoriter fordulat társadalmi főszereplőinek strukturális mozgásait és koalícióit, valamint bevezeti a felhalmozó állam fogalmát; Magyarország példáját felhasználva a társadalomelmélet és a politikai gazdaságtan alapvető kérdéseit feszegeti.A SZERZŐRŐLScheiring Gábor a milánói Bocconi Egyetem kutatója. A jelen könyv egyik alapjául is szolgáló, kvantitatív és kvalitatív módszereket ötvöző disszertációját a kelet-európai piaci átmenet emberi áráról írta a Cambridge-i Egyetemen, amivel nemzetközi politikai gazdaságtani díjat nyert. Doktoriját követően a washingtoni National Endowment for Democracy ösztöndíjasa, illetve a Cambridge-i Egyetem szociológia tanszékének kutatója volt. A 2000-es évek mozgalmaiban aktív szervező, majd 2010-2014 között országgyűlési képviselő volt. Fő kutatási területei a globalizáció, az egészség és a demokrácia empirikus politikai gazdaságtana.A SOROZATRÓLA Politikatörténeti Intézet Társadalomelméleti Műhelye (PTI TEM) jelenlegi formájában 2015-ben jött létre 11 ösztöndíjas kutató bevonásával, akik azóta rendszeresen vitatják meg egymás és külsős szerzők kutatásait és írásait. 2017 folyamán a Politikatörténeti Alapítvány ismét ösztöndíjpályázatot írt ki, hogy lehetővé tegye új műhelytagok csatlakozását a közös munkához. A Társadalomelméleti Műhely célja, hogy hozzájáruljon a hazai társadalomelméleti, társadalomkritikai gondolkodáshoz, valamint a baloldali tudományos, közéleti diskurzushoz. A műhelyben nagyon sokféle témakör talált otthonra: ideológiák, a poszt-marxizmus, politikai gazdaságtan, demokráciaelmélet, populizmus, ökopolitika, a művészet és az emancipáció kapcsolata, társadalmi igazságosság és szolidaritás, nacionalizmus és így tovább. A tagokat az a társadalomelméleti keretrendszer köti össze, amely folytatni kívánja a valóság megértésének baloldali kritikai hagyományait.

The Holiday Bride
All Trinity Cooper Wilde wanted was a quiet Christmas alone with her baby, a baby no one knows about but her twin sister, Dawn.
Dawn has warned Trinity that she needs to come clean and tell everyone about the baby, including the father, Garrett Franke, their former neighbor, whom Trinity has hated since tenth grade—with the exception of one night last year, a mistake.
Her family is starting to wonder why she hasn’t come home to visit in over six months, and Trinity knows time is running out. She plans to tell everyone, but she gets happily stuck in an unexpected snowstorm in her tiny cabin, located outside a small Idaho town.
Deputy Garrett Franke still can’t get Trinity out of his mind, especially considering he works side by side with her dad, Sheriff Logan Wilde. When Dawn unexpectedly pulls him aside one day, he allows her to convince him to drive out to a remote cabin in the middle of a snowstorm to check on her sister, whom no one has heard from since the storm hit.
That’s the thing about snowstorms: You never know who’ll show up at your door, and a baby isn’t the kind of secret that can stay that way for long.
