Untitled Bob Woodward
BOB WOODWARD'S NEW BOOK, RAGE, IS AN UNPRECEDENTED AND INTIMATE TOUR DE FORCE OF NEW REPORTING ON THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY FACING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, ECONOMIC DISASTER AND RACIAL UNREST.
Woodward, the No 1 international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump's head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.
In 17 on-the-record interviews with Woodward over seven volatile months - an utterly vivid window into Trump's mind - the president provides a self-portrait that is part denial and part combative interchange mixed with surprising moments of doubt as he glimpses the perils in the presidency and what he calls the 'dynamite behind every door'. At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump's responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president.
Revisiting the earliest days of the Trump presidency, Rage reveals how Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats struggled to keep the country safe as the president dismantled any semblance of collegial national security decision making. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with first-hand witnesses as well as participants' notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents.
Woodward obtained 25 never-seen personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a 'fantasy film'. Trump insists to Woodward he will triumph over Covid-19 and the economic calamity. 'Don't worry about it, Bob. Okay?' Trump told the author in July. 'Don't worry about it. We'll get to do another book. You'll find I was right.'

When Love Comes to Light: Bringing Wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita to Modern Life
Eminent yoga teachers Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor explore essential lessons from The Bhagavad Gita to reveal a practical guide for living in today's complex world. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most influential and widely recognized ancient texts in Indian epic literature. Through the telling of the story and its many different philosophical teachings, the text provides deep insight into how to meet life's inevitable challenges while remaining open, clear, and compassionate. It offers modern day wisdom seekers a framework for understanding our core beliefs and who we really are--revealing the fact that healthy relationships to others and the world are essential to living a full, compassionate, balanced life. Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, both deeply respected yogic teachers, offer a practical, immediately relevant interpretation that emphasizes self-reflection and waking up in our modern world. Following the traditional sequence of teachings in The Bhagavad Gita--from its opening scene in which Arjuna finds himself in the middle of a battlefield, hesitating and trapped between opposing sides, torn by his dharma and confused by the various paths of action he might choose in the process of awakening--Freeman and Taylor interweave insight into how these classic teachings are relevant for modern readers struggling with what it means to live responsibly in the twenty-first century. With quotes, citations, and a full translation of the original text, they look at the overall arc of the The Bhagavad Gita's teachings and how that relates to the turmoil that arises, not only for Arjuna, but for any of us in the face of crises of conscience, spirit, and form. Exploring the essential themes such as love, wisdom, and karma, and by offering embodiment exercises to apply the teachings, When Love Comes to Light guides readers in the step-by-step process of waking up their intelligence and finding a path toward compassionate action.

A szeretet hatalma
Az egész Univerzum, és benne minden létforma, a Létből született. A Csendből, amely benned is ott van szíved minden két dobbanása között. A Lét valósága az élet fénye. Gyújts egy gyertyát, és meglátod, akármilyen kicsinyke is a lángja, a fénye képes lesz elűzni a sötétséget. A sötétség soha nem tudja "eloltani" a fényt, nincsen hatalma a fény felett, mert a sötétség valójában nem létezik. Mindent és mindenkit a szeretet vezérel célja felé, amely a növekedés, a fejlődés. A szeretet szeretné kiteljesíteni önmagát, boldogsággá szeretne felfényleni minden teremtményben. A világban minden ellentét, különbözőség, meg nem értés csak látszat, illúzió. A szeretet valóságában a szív egyesít mindent, amit az elme és az ész képtelen egyesíteni, kibékít minden ellentétet, amelyet az intellektus nem tud feloldani. A szeretet a leggyengédebb és mégis a leghatalmasabb az egész Mindenségben, mert amikor árad, létrehozza a szívünkben a csodát. Minden, ami van, maga a határtalan tiszta boldogság. Én az vagyok, és te is az vagy. Hogyan találhatod meg azt az utat, amely elvezethet saját magad végtelenjéhez? Hogyan lehetsz boldog és teljes? A szeretet hatalma megmutatja neked is az irányt önmagad középpontja felé. Oda, ahol a legnagyobb TITOK rejtőzik.

100 Years of Fashion Illustration (Pocket Edition)
A visual feast of 400 dazzling images, this is a comprehensive survey of the genre over the last century. The book also offers an overview of the development of fashion, as seen through the eyes of the greatest illustrators of the day. Early in the century, fashion illustration reflected new, liberating currents in art and culture, such as the exoticism of the Ballets Russes, while the postwar period saw inspiration from the great Parisian couturiers. After the dominance of the celebrity fashion photographer in the 60s, a new generation of illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many returned to more traditional techniques.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors
A comprehensive presentation of Ai Weiwei's recent Public Art Fund exhibition Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, a powerful reflection on the global refugee crisis
Internationally renowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) transformed over 300 sites across New York City into a compelling, ambitious public art exhibition concerned with the global refugee and migration crises. Good Fences Make Good Neighbors (on view from October 2017 to February 2018) consisted of immersive large-scale sculptures for city monuments, fences on building facades and bus stops, and portraits of refugees and immigrants displayed on outdoor banners. This publication documents the extraordinary project from conception to final installation, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the research, preparatory drawings, planning, and fabrication that brought it to life. The book includes an in-depth interview with Ai Weiwei about the project's personal significance, an essay by curator Nicholas Baume, and statements from a wide variety of individuals-including Olafur Eliasson, David Miliband, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Jorge Ramos, among many others-about their interactions with the artworks. As Baume asserts, "Ai Weiwei created a remarkable model for what great public art strives to be-emotionally engaging and politically resonant, conceptually and formally inventive yet broadly accessible."

Minden ami szép
Tammie ?majd elolvad a pisztáciafagyitól. És a sírfeliratoktól. Elég fura a hobbija: naponta végigjárja a temetőt, és lefotózza az ütősebb szövegeket, de csak nem bír ráakadni arra a mondatra, amit a saját temetésére tartogatna. Különc szokásának nyomós oka van: az agyára telepedő óriási vérrög, ami bármikor felrobbanhat, és megölheti Tammie-t. Nehéz ilyen tudattal élni – nemcsak neki, de a családjának és a legjobb barátnőjének is. A lány életét tovább bonyolítja, hogy a temetőben az ideális sírfelirat helyett a tökéletes pasira talál rá. Vajon Fynn elfogadná őt a fejében ketyegő időzített bombával együtt is?
„Nem merek forró vízzel zuhanyozni, mert attól félek, fölmelegszik tőle a vérem, összesűrűsödik, és szétrobban az egész. Ez persze orvosilag úgy képtelenség, ahogy van, de orvosilag az is képtelenség, hogy aneurizma van egy amúgy egészséges tizenhat éves fejében. Mostanáig semmiféle kicsapongást nem engedtem meg magamnak. Drog nulla, néha egy-egy buli, semmi hormonális beavatkozás, emiatt semmi szex, nem beszélve arról, hogy az orgazmus életveszélyes. Az orgazmus: robbanássorozat az idegrendszerben. Ami az én esetemben halálhoz vezethet. Így magyarázta nekem a neurológus, hogy megijesszen. Igazán fölösleges volt. Nem áll fönn a veszély, hogy nimfomániás öngyilkosként végezzem, annyira apáca-üzemmódban élek. Még a végén az unalomba halok bele.”
