The Cashless Revolution
Financial Times, Best Books of 2022: Economics
The startling picture of how China’s revolution in finance and technology is changing both Wall Street and the way individuals manage their personal finances.
The future of finance – the way Wall Street operates and how individuals manage their money - is on the verge of upheaval. And the force underlying the change comes from China, where finance and technology are being merged into a system with consequences that resonate far beyond China’s border. The changes of this global revolution in finance and technology - fintech - will be as powerful as those wrought in social media, retailing and advertising by giants such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, which have overturned how we shop and communicate.
China reinvented money with lightning speed, transforming a backward, antiquated cash-based finance system into one centered on super-apps created by technology giants Alibaba and Tencent. More powerful than anything available outside of China, they allow their billion users to pay, borrow, invest, buy goods and services, travel, chat (and far more) all fused together in one mobile phone application. Think Facebook, Google, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, J.P. Morgan Chase all rolled into one app.
We in the West need to understand China’s cashless revolution for reasons ranging from the macroeconomic to issues of personal liberty: The cutting edge of finance is now in China, forcing major financial firms in the United States and the West to figure out how not to be left behind.. China’s cashless revolution is also a harbinger of our future if we let the genie out of the bottle and allow big tech to become big finance. As money goes digital and central banks around the world consider launching digital currencies, we may have both immense convenience and a frightening concentration of power that could violate our privacy, stifle competition, increase financial risk, and give big firms or the government more control over our financial lives. And, once this genie is out of the bottle, the struggle to put it back in may be impossible.
History of Infographics
In the age of big data and digital distribution, when news travel ever further and faster and media outlets compete for a fleeting slice of online attention, information graphics have swept center stage. At once nuanced and neat, they distill abstract ideas, complex statistics, and cutting-edge discoveries into succinct, compelling, and masterful designs. Cartographers, programmers, statisticians, designers, scientists, and journalists have developed a new field of expertise in visualizing knowledge.
This XL-sized compendium explores the history of data graphics from the Middle Ages right through to the digital era. Curated by Sandra Rendgen, some 400 milestones span astronomy, cartography, zoology, technology, and beyond. Across medieval manuscripts and parchment rolls, elaborate maps, splendid popular atlasses, and early computer-based information design, we systematically break down each work's historical context, including such highlights as Martin Waldseemuller's famous world map, the meticulous nature studies of Ernst Haeckel, and many unknown treasures.
Hot on the heels of the best-selling Information Graphics and Understanding the World, this third volume fills the gap as an unprecedented reference book for data freaks, designers, historians, and anyone thirsty for knowledge. An enthralling exploration into the teachings, research, and lives of generations past.

Finally, in "Key," the rules of good and evil are blurred for two families when Orochi moves into a new apartment.

Mongol invázió Európa ellen (1236-1242)
Idén tavasszal volt 780 éve, hogy a Nagy Mongol Birodalom hadai kivonultak Magyarországról, miután kis híján örökre elsöpörték a föld színéről a középkori keresztény Magyar Királyságot. A kötet elsősorban hazai szerzőgárda segítségével, de a térség országainak saját tudományos irodalmára támaszkodva, a lehető legtágabb eurázsiai kontextusban kívánja bemutatni a tatárjárás eseményeit. A tanulmányok sora éppúgy átfogó és részletes képet ad a világuralomra törő Mongol Birodalomról, mint a meghódítani kívánt Európa politikai viszonyairól, katonai erejéről és szokásairól is a 13.század derekán, a sajátosságokat egy-egy jelentősebb csata felvillantásával érzékeltetve. A viszonylag jobban ismert magyarországi hadiesemények mellett részletesen áttekinti a többi hadszíntér történéseit is, valamint az 1242. évi magyarországi visszavonulás okait és a mongolok európai támadásának tartósabb következményeit Oroszországban és a Balkánon.

Babapszichológia
"-Miért alussza át az egyik csecsemő az éjszakát, és miért riasztja anyját óránként a másik?
-Miért játszik el magában akár félóráig is az egyik baba, és miért sír azonnal a másik, ha leteszik?
-Miért mar az arcodba és húzza meg a hajadat a kilenc hónapos, és miért bántja a többi kisgyereket a játszótéren a másfél éves, holott otthon sosem látott ilyet?
Ez a könyv lélektani szempontból mutatja be, hogyan is "működik" a baba, mit érez, miként formálódik a személyisége, milyen veleszületett tulajdonságai vannak, és mi az, amit szülőként mi alakíthatunk.
Miért fontos az, hogy anyaként vagy apaként megértsd a csecsemőkort? Például azért, mert így sokkal könnyebb lesz a helyzeted: tudod, miért viselkedik a gyermeked éppen úgy, ahogy; nem aggódsz azon, vajon "normális-e", amit csinál; megérted, hogyan fejlődik - és innen már csak egy lépésre vagy egy-egy konkrét nevelési helyzet megoldásától.
Nem kész, konzerv megoldásokat szeretnék átadni neked, mert azokkal már most is tele a padlás. "Hagyja sírni, anyuka" - mondja a védőnő. "Adj neki cumit, nekünk az segített" - mondja a szomszéd kismama. "Szoptasd meg, amikor csak sír" - ajánlja a szoptatáscentrikus internetes portál. De melyik a jó módszer? Sokan a megérzéseikre hagyatkoznak, mások vakon bíznak az orvos, a védőnő tanácsaiban, megint mások csak gyűjtik az információkat, és végül elbizonytalanodnak, mit is kéne tenniük.
Én abban hiszek, hogy nincsenek egyedül üdvözítő módszerek - minden gyerek más, ezért ami az egyiküknél hatásos, az a másiknál hatástalan. És bizony mi szülők is mások vagyunk, a nevelési módszernek tehát nemcsak a gyerek, de a szülő személyiségéhez is illenie kell.
Ez a könyv arról szól, hogyan találd meg az egyensúlyt a gyermek egyénisége, a saját személyiséged és a sokféle módszer között.
Az interneten évente több ezer anyuka kérdéseire válaszolva gyűjtöttem össze azokat a tapasztalatokat, és formáltam azokat a technikákat, amelyeket e könyvben bemutatok." (a Szerző)

Sen o mém otci / Sen o mně
Brilantní autobiografické prózy, kterými do literatury šedesátých let vstupoval autor ani ne třicetiletý, vyplavují ze vzpomínek obrazy dětství, dospívání a prvních let dospělosti. Představují křehkého člověka hledajícího své místo ve světě, zmítaného vášněmi i pochybujícího o své schopnosti milovat. Sen o mém otci je autorovou prvotinou. Ústřední tragikomickou zápletku rozvíjí kolem dětského podvodu s žákovskou knížkou. Otce malého Karolka umučili v Terezíně a jeho matka se později podruhé provdala. Právě vztah k matce, dramatické střety s ní, útěky ze sevření její lásky a opětovné návraty jsou obsahem Karolova vyprávění. Navazující novela Sen o mně představuje trýznivou zpověď muže stojícího tváří v tvář nevěře. Snaha porozumět vztahu k vlastní ženě (podobně jako předtím vztahu k matce) je snahou porozumět tajemství života a smrti. Krutě otevřenou zpověď, kterou přináší druhá próza, vyvažuje první text, který díky dětskému pohledu a milosrdnému odstupu přináší s postavami pábitelů, „svůdců“ a hrdinů i půvabný humor. Prózy vycházejí po více než dvaceti letech ve třetím vydání s autorovým doslovem.
Mr Wrong Number
Bad luck has always followed Olivia. But when a steamy text from a random number turns into the most entertaining relationship of her life, it seems things are looking up.
Colin has always considered Olivia his flatmate's annoying little sister. Until she moves in with them, and he realises she's turned into an altogether sexier distraction . . .
He's determined to keep his distance, but it isn't easy. Especially when he discovers she's the girl he's been secretly messaging.
Now, Mr Wrong Number must decide. Should he shut down the messages, before things get messy?
Or turn up the heat . . . ?
The Hidden Language of Symbols
A stimulating narrative and reference resource that guides the reader through the most significant symbols from worldwide art history.
Why do we reach for the red rose on Valentine's day? Where did the owl gain its reputation for wisdom? Why should you never trust a fox? In this visual tour through art history, Matthew Wilson pieces together a global visual language enshrined in art: the language of symbols.
Symbols exert a strong hold in the image-saturated 21st century, and have done so for thousands of years. From national emblems to corporate logos and emojis, our day-to-day lives abound with icons with roots in the distant past. Expert art historian Matthew Wilson traces the often surprising trajectories that symbols have taken through history, from their original purposes to their modern meanings, identifying the common themes and ideas that link seemingly disparate cultures. Thus we meet the falcon as a symbol of authority from the ancient Egyptian pharaohs to the medieval aristocracy; the dog as stalwart companion from the classical era to the Renaissance; and the mythical phoenix as a symbol of female power connecting a queen in England with a goddess in China. We also see moments of radical reinterpretation and change: the transformation of the swastika from an auspicious symbol of hope to one of hate.
From Palaeolithic cave paintings to contemporary installations, Wilson deftly guides us through this world of symbols, showcasing their enduring ability to express power, hope, fear and faith, and to create and communicate identities, uniting - or dividing - the people that made them.
Foul Lady Fortune
Assassin. Immortal. Spy.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights comes the first book in a captivating new duology following an ill-matched pair of spies posing as a married couple to investigate a series of brutal murders in 1930s Shanghai.
It's 1931 in Shanghai, and the stage is set for a new decade of intrigue.
Four years ago, Rosalind Lang was brought back from the brink of death, but the strange experiment that saved her also stopped her from sleeping and aging - and allows her to heal from any wound. In short, Rosalind cannot die. Now, desperate for redemption for her traitorous past, she uses her abilities as an assassin for her country.
Code name: Fortune.
But when the Japanese Imperial Army begins its invasion march, Rosalind's mission pivots. A series of murders is causing unrest in Shanghai, and the Japanese are under suspicion. Rosalind's new orders are to infiltrate foreign society and identify the culprits behind the terror plot before more of her people are killed.
To reduce suspicion, she must pose as the wife of another Nationalist spy, Orion Hong. Although Rosalind finds Orion's cavalier attitude and playboy demeanour infuriating, she is willing to work with him for the greater good. But Orion has an agenda of his own, and Rosalind has secrets that she wants to keep buried. As they both attempt to unravel the conspiracy, the two spies soon find that there are deeper and more horrifying layers to this mystery than they ever imagined.
Mucholapka - audiokniha
Denník dobrého detektíva #11Od vraždy Cley Petresku ubehol presne rok. Opäť bolo leto, opäť boli prázdniny a ľudia sa tešili na dovolenky a zaslúžený oddych pri vode. Na oddelení vrážd sa nikto netešil a odniesť dovolenkový lístok šéfovi sa každý bál. Naozaj vtedy nebol vhodný čas na záhaľku, práce bolo vyše hlavy. Prišlo obdobie Beštie a muž vraždiaci staršie ženy priamo v ich bytoch ich zásoboval prídelom stále nových a nových prípadov. V jeho tieni sa pohyboval aj iný muž a nebyť toho, že pracovali v rovnakom období, a nebyť toho, že Ondrej-Beštia bol o niečo pracovitejší, bol by aj on zožal slávu najmasovejšieho vraha v histórii Nášho Mesta. Nezožal. Flákal sa a zostal druhý. No i keď zavraždil iba päť žien, aj tak napísal celkom pekný príbeh a chlapci zo starej vraždárskej partie o ňom rozprávali vždy, keď sa stretli na pive a nostalgicky spomínali na staré časy. Krauz nespomínal, Krauz zúril, lebo jemu šéf dovolenku podpísal, a tým sa to vlastne všetko začalo...
Újra meg újra
Emilie Hornby, a tizenhét éves gimnazista mottója: „A sors a balekoknak való. A szerelmet meg kell tervezni.” A tinilány ennek jegyében, szerelemtől ittasan, kicsinosítva indul iskolába az év legromantikusabb napján, február 14-én. Bár mindent előre lejátszott a fejében, és gondosan rögzített is a heti tervezőjében, Emilie élete legrosszabb Valentin-napját éli át. Egyik baj és csalódás jön a másik után, semmi sem úgy alakul, ahogyan megálmodta. Miután túljut az első sokkon, a nagymamájához menekül egy kis vigasztalásért, és ott hajtja álomra a fejét. Másnap reggel hatkor megszólal a telefonja ébresztője, és – ó, te jó ég! – újra Valentin-nap van. Az utána következő nap pedig…? Ismét egy rémes Valentin-nap!
Emilie egy olyan rémálomszerű időhurokban ragad, amelyből nem tud kiszabadulni, így aztán újra meg újra átéli az „első” Valentin-nap rémségeit.
Vajon meddig kell még szenvednie ebben a Valentin-napi purgatóriumban?
Lynn Painter, a Mr. Téves szám, a Véletlenül Amy és a Jobb mint a filmeken sikerszerzője, ismét egy hihetetlenül vicces, magával ragadó romkommal ajándékozza meg a rajongóit.
