Mit tenne a természet? - Útmutató bizonytalan időkre
A természet megújulóképességéből analógiákon keresztül mi magunk is sokat meríthetünk, ezek a megoldások pedig a fenntarthatóságot teljesen új megvilágításba helyezik. Ruth DeFries, a Columbia Egyetem fenntartható fejlődést kutató professzora ebben a kötetében számos olyan megközelítést és stratégiát ajánl, amelyek kiszámíthatatlan, hirtelen sokkokkal terhelt időkben is lehetővé teszik az élet fennmaradását. Ilyen természethű elvnek és megközelítésnek számít például a sokféleségbe történő befektetés, az önkorrekciós visszacsatolások kialakítása, valamint az alulról felfelé építkező ismereteken alapuló döntések. A könyv izgalmas olvasmányélményt kínál mindazoknak, akik megújulásra vágynak vagy felhagynának megrögzött szokásaikkal, mindezt pedig módszeresen, a természet által kifejlesztett folyamatok alapján szeretnék véghezvinni.

Personality and Power
One of the great historians of our age asks: how far can a single leader alter the course of history?
The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were re-shaped and wars fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities had somehow given them the ability to do whatever they wished.
Ian Kershaw's new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders and the times they lived in that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill to de Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev, and Thatcher to Kohl, Kershaw uses his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly different figures wielded power.
Too Much of Life - The Complete Cronicas
The things I've learned from taxi drivers would be enough to fill a book. They know a lot: they really do get around. I may know a lot about Antonioni that they don't know. Or maybe they do even when they don't. There are various ways of knowing by not-knowing. I know: it happens to me too. The cronica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers (or even soccer stars) to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector's pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio's leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love. This new, large, and beautifully translated volume, Too Much of Life: The Complete Cronicas presents a new aspect of the great writer-at once off the cuff and spot on.

Eight Men
'All eight men and all eight stories stand as beautifully, pitifully, terribly true... This is fine, sound, good, honorable writing rich with insight and understanding, even when occasionally twisted by sorrow' New York Times
Hunted by the police for a crime he didn't commit, a man turns to the sewers and a life underground. Struggling to get work, another turns to wearing his wife's clothes in a desperate last attempt. Finding himself the object of derision, yet another man buys a gun only to discover its true power.
Here are Richard Wright's stories of eight men - black men, living at violent odds with the white world around them. As suspenseful as they are excoriating, they stand alongside Wright's novels as some of the most powerful depictions of black America in the twentieth century.
