Calypso
David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.
If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.
When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.
With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.
This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.

If I Had a Dinosaur
A little girl dreams of having her very own pet. But what kind of animal would make the best companion? A mouse is too small; a cat is too ordinary; and a fish is too... wet! As she plays with her toy dinosaur, inspiration strikes. What about a real, live dinosaur? She could ride it to school. It would need lots of food to eat, a swimming pool to drink from, and a dino flap so it could come and go. At the end of a day spent busily imagining, the girl trudges up to bed with her little plastic dinosaur. As she falls asleep, the dinosaur from her daydreams stands in the garden with its head poking through the bedroom window, making her dreams come true.

Gondolkodjunk, mert vagyunk!
Mr. MindMap, vagyis Tony Buzan a 2006-os londoni Education Show-n tartott előadásában egy, az emberi kreatívkészség és az életkor viszonyát vizsgáló kutatásra hivatkozva arról beszélt a jelenlévő pedagógus közönségnek, hogy az óvodások 90-95%-os kreatívkészsége általános iskolás korukra 70-75%-ra, gimnazista éveikre 40-50%-ra, egyetemi létük idejére 20-25%-ra csökken, míg az ún. felnőttek átlagos kreatívkészség-foka 10% alatt van. George Land, az Arizona Innovation Institute társalapítója egy hosszú távú kísérletben 1600 ötéves gyerekkel végeztette el a NASA kreativitástesztjét. Ugyanezt a panelt újratesztelte tíz- és tizenöt éves korukban. Az ötévesek eredménye 98% volt, míg a tízéveseké 30%, a tizenöt éveseké pedig 12%. Ugyanaz a teszt 280 ezer felnőttnél átlagban 2% eredményt (?) hozott. A kísérletet és tanulságait később több helyen, például a Grow or die (Fejlődni vagy meghalni) című könyvében is publikálta. Ehhez vedd hozzá, hogy az Egyesült Államok Népszámlálási Hivatala szerint 2009-ben 516 millió 65 évnél idősebb ember élt a Földön. Ez a szám 2050-ig várhatóan megtriplázódik, és 1,53 milliárd ember életkora haladja majd meg a 65 éves életkort. Ugyanebben a periódusban a 15 év alattiak száma mindössze 6%-kal növekszik. Az idős emberek már 2017-ben többen lesznek, mint az öt év alatti gyerekek. Mit jelent ez? Az emberi faj válságát. Elromlott az útjelző műszerünk. Nem előre mutat, hanem lefelé. Öregszünk, és a kreatív ember nemsokára veszélyeztetett fajjá válik a bolygónkon. Hozzáteszem, ezzel a kreativitáscsökkenési trenddel mindenki tisztában van. És természetesnek veszi. Na, ez az igazi tragédia. Woody Allen megjegyzését juttatja az ember eszébe, miszerint: Sokkal inkább, mint valaha, az emberiség válaszút előtt áll. Az egyik ösvény kétségbeeséshez és végső reménytelenséghez vezet. A másik a teljes pusztuláshoz. Imádkozzunk, hogy bölcsen a helyes utat válasszuk! Azért azért, ha mégis - azért, ha mégis lenne ott egy harmadik ösvény is (mert az Allen által említett kettő csapás, és nem ösvény), akkor azon kellene elindulni. Ahol az út alapozását a helyes gondolkodás jelenti.

OWC Medea and Other Plays
`the most tragic of the poets' Aristotle Euripides was one of the most popular and controversial of all Greek tragedians, and his plays are marked by an independence of thought, ingenious dramatic devices, and a subtle variety of register and mood. He is also remarkable for the prominence he gave to female characters, whether heroines of virtue or vice. In the ethically shocking Medea, the first known child-killing mother in Greek myth to perform the deed in cold blood manipulates her world in order to wreak vengeance on her treacherous husband. Hippolytus sees Phaedra's confession of her passion for her stepson herald disaster, while Electra's heroine helps her brother murder their mother in an act that mingles justice and sin. Lastly, lighter in tone, the satyr drama, Helen, is an exploration of the impossibility of certitude as brilliantly paradoxical as the three famous tragedies. This new translation does full justice to Euripides's range of tone and gift for narrative. A lucid introduction provides substantial analysis of each play, complete with vital explanations of the traditions and background to Euripides's world.

The Pursuit of Love
'Obsessed with sex!' said Jassy, 'there's nobody so obsessed as you, Linda. Why if I so much as look at a picture you say I'm a pygmalionist.'

'Ducks can only copulate,' said Linda, after studying this for a while, 'in running water. Good luck to them.'
Oh the tedium of waiting to grow up! Longing for love, obsessed with weddings and sex, Linda and her sisters and cousin Fanny are on the look out for the perfect lover. But finding Mr Right is much harder than any of the sisters thought. Linda must suffer marriage first to a stuffy Tory MP and then to a handsome and humorousless communist before finding real love in war-torn Paris . . .
The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest, sharpest novels about love and growing up ever written.

Swimming Pool
This is Maria Svarbova first book due to popular demand from her largest and continuing series Swimming Pool. Sparked by a hunt for interesting location in Slovakia, her fascination with the space of public swimming pools contributed to developing her visual style. Sterile, geometric beauty of old pools, usually built in the Socialist Era, set the tone for these photographs. There is almost a theatrical quality to the highly controlled sceneries that Maria captures. The figures are mid-movement, but there is no joyful playfulness to them. Frozen in the composition, the swimmers are as smooth and cold as the pools tiles. The colours softly vibrate in a dream-like atmosphere. Despite the retro setting, the pictures somehow evoke a futuristic feeling as well, as if they were taken somewhere completely alien.

Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apples Greatest Produc
Leander Kahney, author of Inside Steve's Brain, gives us an intimate look at how the legendary designer made Apple iconic in his new book, Jony Ive. "Different and new is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard." (Jony Ive). In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple with the unenviable task of turning around the company he had founded. One night Jobs discovered a scruffy British designer toiling away in a studio at Apple, surrounded by hundreds of sketches and prototypes. Jobs instantly realized he had found a talent who could reverse the company's long decline. That young designer was Jony Ive. Ive's collaboration with Jobs would produce some of the world's most iconic products, including the iMac, iPod, iPad and iPhone. These designs have overturned entire industries and created the world's most powerful brand. Along the way, Ive has become the world's leading technology innovator, won countless awards, earned a place on the 2013 Time 100 list, and has been knighted for his services to design and enterprise. Yet little is known about the shy, softly-spoken designer that Jobs referred to as his 'spiritual partner' at Apple. This book offers a detailed portrait of a creative genius, based on interviews with Ive's former colleagues and extensive research. From his early interest in industrial design through his education at Newcastle Polytechnic and meteoric rise at Apple, we discover the principles and practices that led Ive to become the designer of his generation. Leander Kahney has covered Apple for more than a dozen years and has written three popular books about Apple and the culture of its followers, including Inside Steve's Brain and Cult of Mac. The former news editor for Wired.com, he is currently the editor and publisher of CultofMac.com. He lives in San Francisco.

The Midnight Line - (Jack Reacher 22)
Jack Reacher takes an aimless stroll past a pawn shop in a small Midwestern town. In the window he sees a West Point class ring from 2005. It's tiny. It's a woman cadet's graduation present to herself. Why would she give it up? Reacher's a West Pointer too, and he knows what she went through to get it.
Reacher tracks the ring back to its owner, step by step, down a criminal trail leading west. Like Big Foot come out of the forest, he arrives in the deserted wilds of Wyoming. All he wants is to find the woman. If she's OK, he'll walk away. If she's not ... he'll stop at nothing.
He's still shaken by the recent horrors of Make Me, and now The Midnight Line sees him set on a raw and elemental quest for simple justice. Best advice: don't get in his way.
