Stephen Hawking élete és világa
„Üdvözlöm. Stephen Hawking vagyok: fizikus, kozmológus és álmodozó. Bár nem tudok mozogni, és számítógépen keresztül kell beszélnem, az elmém szabad.” „Visszatekintve úgy tűnhet, hogy egy előre alaposan megtervezett menetrend szerint foglalkoztam a világegyetem eredetének és fejlődésének legjelentősebb problémáival. Ám valójában nem így történt. Nem volt előzetes tervem. Az a helyzet, hogy csak a saját orrom után mentem, és mindig azzal foglalkoztam, ami akkor éppen érdekesnek és megoldhatónak tűnt.” Stephen Hawking korunk egyik legfigyelemreméltóbb alakja. Cambridge-i géniusz, világszerte ünnepelt, ragyogó elméleti fizikus, aki ösztönzést és bátorítást jelent mindazok számára, akik szemtanúi lehettek annak, milyen nagyszerű diadalt aratott mozgatóideg-sorvadása felett. Kitty Ferguson ebben a könyvében Hawking életét meséli el. Műve megírásához különleges segítséget kapott magától Hawkingtól, valamint közeli ismerőseitől és családjától.A könyv részletesen bemutatja Hawking gyerekkorát, első szívszorító találkozását motoros neuronbetegségével, majd az ezzel való küzdelmeinek kezdetét elsőéves doktorandusz-hallgató korában. Olvashatunk Hawking egyre növekvő nemzetközi hírnevéről, továbbá az életben maradásért való hosszas küzdelméről, miközben mellesleg még a világegyetem működésének fizikáját is igyekszik feltárni. Ezzel párhuzamosan a szerző, aki közérthető nyelven tudja tálalni az elméleti fizikai ismereteket is, mindenki számára érthetően foglalja össze és magyarázza el a tudomány élvonalába tartozó fizikai elméleteket, melyek Hawkingot foglalkoztatják. A fizikai fogalmakat szemléltető ábrákkal és Hawking életét gyerekkorától napjainkig dokumentáló fotókkal illusztrált könyv a Kitty Fergusontól megszokott közérthető nyelvezettel íródott. Az eredmény egy lebilincselő beszámoló Hawking rendkívüli életéről és zabolátlan elméjéről.

How the World Really Works
We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don't know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.
In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn't inevitable - the perils of allowing 70 per cent of the world's rubber gloves to be made in just one factory became glaringly obvious in 2020 - and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. For example, each greenhouse-grown supermarket-bought tomato requires the equivalent of five tablespoons of diesel oil for its production; and we still lack any commercially viable ways of making steel, ammonia, cement or plastics on the scale required globally without fossil fuels.
Vaclav Smil is neither a pessimist nor an optimist, he is a scientist; he is the world-leading expert on energy and an astonishing polymath. This is his magnum opus and a continuation of his quest to make facts matter. Drawing on the latest science, including his own fascinating research, and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead? Compelling, data-rich and revisionist, this wonderfully broad, interdisciplinary masterpiece finds faults with both extremes. Looking at the world through this quantitative lens reveals hidden truths that change the way we see our past, present and uncertain future.

Rebel
A philosophical exploration of the idea of 'rebellion' by one of the leading existentialist thinkers, Albert Camus' The Rebel looks at artistic and political rebels throughout history, from Epicurus to the Marquis de Sade. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated by Anthony Bower with an introduction by Oliver Todd.
The Rebel is Camus' 'attempt to understand the time I live in' and a brilliant essay on the nature of human revolt. Published in 1951, it makes a daring critique of communism - how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain and the resulting totalitarian regimes. It questions two events held sacred by the left wing - the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 - that had resulted, he believed, in terrorism as a political instrument. In this towering intellectual document, Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt, which unlike revolution is a spontaneous response to injustice and a chance to achieve change without giving up collective and intellectual freedom.

Chuť, Gusto, Taste ...by Massimo
Massimo Attanassio. Neapolský mladík, ktorý sa prišiel stať šéfkuchárom k nám, na Slovensko. Za tie roky čo je Slovákom, vycibril svoje kulinárske umenie tak, aby dokonale hladilo slovenské maškrtné a čím ďalej náročnejšie jazýčky. Tak, aby svojim Slovákom priniesol ten kúsok atraktívneho Talianska na striebornom podnose. Tak, aby nám posvietil svojim lampášom (La Lanterna) na gastronomickú cestu, ktorá sa v našej krajine začína pomaly vinúť. A posvietil perfektne. Jeho reštaurácia Massimo Ristorante, v hlavnom meste Slovenska, je tým kúskom pravého Talianska, ktorý si túžime priniesť z dovoleniek. Tým nefalšovaným Talianskom plným omamných vôní, fantastických chutí a typického talianskeho temperamentu. A ak nemáte cestu do hlavného mesta, aby ste to všetko okúsili na vlastnej koži, urobte si malé talianske hody u vás doma. Massimo pootvoril dvere do svojej kuchyne, prezradil niečo zo svojho kuchárskeho umenia (a nielen z neho) a venoval priateľom a fanúšikom talianskej kuchyne pár svojich vlastných receptov. Tak benvenuti a Massimo e buon appetito!
Massimo Attanasio. Un giovane napoletano che è arrivato in Slovacchia per realizzare il suo sogno d’indipendenza. Nel corso degli anni ha saputo affinare il talento nell’arte culiaria che gli è stata tramandata dalla sua famiglia in modo da soddisfare anche i palati più esigenti. E‘ riuscito a portare in Slovacchia un pezzo d’Italia, perpetrando quelle tradizioni culinarie tipiche del Belpaese.
Il suo ristorante,“Massimo Ristorante“, nel solco tracciato dalla sua prima creatura, “La Lanterna“ è oramai divenuto un’istituzione a Bratislava; un tempio della buona cucina e dell’ottimo vino, serviti in un’atmosfera affascinante e piacevolmente “cool“, condita dal meraviglioso scenario del Danubio che, con il suo lento scorrere, porta con se i profumi e gli odori della migliore tradizione Italiana e Partenopea. Aprendo le porte della sua cucina, Massimo ha rivelato qualcosa della segreta tradizione dell’arte culinaria della Napoli antica, regalando ad amici e clienti alcune ricette, presenti in questa pubblicazione, che si spera possano allietare le numerose serate trascorse in compagnia della famiglia o degliamici più cari nel segno dell’ospitalità e della convivialità tipicamente Napoletane. Allora non ci resta che augurarvi buon appetito!!!
Massimo Attanassio. A Neapolitan young man who came here to Slovakia to become a chef. During the years of being Slovak, he refined his culinary art in a way that perfectly suits the increasingly gourmandized and demanding Slovak tongues. In a way that brings his Slovaks that small part of Italy on a silver platter. In a way that illuminates the gastronomical road with his lantern (La Lanterna), the road that slowly started unwinding itself in our country. And he illuminated it perfectly. His restaurant Massimo Ristorante, in the capital city of Slovakia, represents that exact piece of Italy, we long to bring back with us from our holidays. That genuine Italy, full of dazzling smells, fantastic tastes, and the typical Italian temperament. And in case you are not heading to the capital city, why not making a small feast in your home in order to experience all of it yourself? Massimo slightly opened the door to his cuisine, revealed bits of his culinary art (and even more), and shared some of his recipes with friends and fans of the Italian cuisine. So benvenuti a Massimo e buon appetito!

After We Collided - film tie
Book 2 of the After series-newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd's After fanfiction racked up one billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the internet's most talked-about book for yourself from the writer Cosmopolitan called "the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation."
Tessa has everything to lose. Hardin has nothing to lose...except her. AFTER WE COLLIDED...Life will never be the same. #HESSA
After a tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Tessa and Hardin were on the path to making things work. Tessa knew Hardin could be cruel, but when a bombshell revelation is dropped about the origins of their relationship-and Hardin's mysterious past-Tessa is beside herself.
Hardin will always be...Hardin. But is he really the deep, thoughtful guy Tessa fell madly in love with despite his angry exterior-or has he been a stranger all along? She wishes she could walk away. It's just not that easy. Not with the memory of passionate nights spent in his arms. His electric touch. His hungry kisses.
Still, Tessa's not sure she can endure one more broken promise. She put so much on hold for Hardin-school, friends, her mom, a relationship with a guy who really loved her, and now possibly even a promising new career. She needs to move forward with her life.
Hardin knows he made a mistake, possibly the biggest one of his life. He's not going down without a fight. But can he change? Will he change...for love?
The Good Enough Job
The Good Enough Job reminds us that the biggest goal of all is to live a life we are happy with, and in which work is but one of the multitude of facets that make us who we are. An antidote to the toxic #hustle movement convincing us all we need to find fulfilment in the office, it denounces the dangers of burnout linked to those of us who cannot answer the question: beyond work, what's left?
Conversations of burnout have bubbled to the top of the cultural zeitgeist as the line between work and not-work continues to blur. Burnout and workaholism are symptoms of a deeper root cause: a lack of separation between who we are and what we do. This book is not a credo against looking to work for fulfilment, nor is it in favour of treating work as a necessary evil. It is a guide to developing a healthier relationship to work through the stories of people who have successfully done so. These are stories that invite us to re-evaluate what makes us happy, and how we can work to live, rather than the other way round.

She Is a Haunting
This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder Girls by Rory Power.
Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough – at least for this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing up, then college and freedom are hers.
But soon Jade begins waking up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat … from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT.
When her father and little sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence, the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a distraction than Jade bargained for) to help.
But the house has other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is determined never to be abandoned again …

A Caribbean Mystery
Now with a beautiful new series look, the delightful Miss Marple is ensnared in A Caribbean Mystery when a retired military man sparks her curiosity with a photograph and a strange story of a murderer.
As Miss Marple sat basking in the Caribbean sunshine, she felt mildly discontented with life. True, the warmth eased her rheumatism, but here in paradise nothing ever happened.
Eventually, her interest was aroused by an old soldier’s yarn about a murderer he had known. Infuriatingly, just as he was about to show her a snapshot of this acquaintance, the Major was suddenly interrupted. A diversion that was to prove fatal.
