The Darkness Manifesto
How much light is too much light? The Darkness Manifesto urges us to cherish natural darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth.
The world's flora and fauna have evolved to operate in the natural cycle of day and night. But constant illumination has made light pollution a major issue. From space, our planet glows brightly, 24/7. By extending our day, we have forced out the inhabitants of the night and disrupted the circadian rhythms necessary to sustain all living things. Our cities' streetlamps and neon signs are altering entire ecosystems.
As a devoted friend of the night, Johan Ekloef encourages us to appreciate natural darkness, its creatures, and its unique benefits. He ponders the beauties of the night sky, traces the paths of light-drunk moths and the dives of keen-eyed owls, and shows us the bioluminescent creatures of the deep oceans. He writes passionately about the domino effect of damage we inflict by keeping the lights on: insects failing to reproduce; birds blinded and bewildered; bats starving as they wait in vain for insects that only come out in the dark. For humans, light-induced sleep disturbances impact our hormones and weight, and can contribute to mental health problems.
Eye-opening and ultimately encouraging, The Darkness Manifesto offers simple steps that can benefit ourselves and the planet.
The light bulb - long the symbol of progress - needs to be turned off. To ensure a bright future, we must embrace the darkness.

Őrült vágy
Úgy nőttem fel, hogy hittem a jó és a rossz, a helyes és a helytelen, a fekete és a fehér létezésében. Több eszem volt, minthogy megbízzak az emberekben.
Aztán megismertem Tyler Sharpot.
A merész, elbűvölő és veszélyesen szexi Tyler Sharp mindig megszerzi, amit akar. De mosolya elbűvölő lehet, ügyei komorak, ambíciói könyörtelenek. Azt gondoltam, én vagyok az egyetlen olyan nő, aki elég erős, hogy ellenálljon neki, de az egymás iránti vágyunk túlságosan sürgető volt ahhoz, hogy letagadjuk.
Egy tekintet kellett, és máris bajban voltam. Egy érintés, és lépre csalt. Egy éjszaka, és az övé lettem.
És most, hogy beleszerettem, többé már nincs visszaút...

"Vannak pillanatok, amikor eldől, hogy győztesnek születtünk-e vagy vesztesnek. Vannak pillanatok, amikor értelmet nyer a kitartás, a küzdelem. Diána, a tini lány tele volt tervekkel, álmokkal. Egyetlen másodperc alatt változott meg minden. Diána volt az egyiptomi buszbaleset sérültje. ... Folytatás ›› Egyetlen rossz szót sem mondhatott volna senki, hoa összeomlik. Az Ő története mégsem a sírásról szól. mert a lány nem adta fel. Igazi hétköznapi hős lett, akire mindig úgy gondolok, hogy ha Ő mosolyog, én miért panaszkodnék. Éppen ezért fontos Diána könyve.

Camelot

Momenticon
From Andrew Caldecott, the author of the Rotherweird trilogy, comes a dark, enigmatic, compelling new adventure: think Alice in Wonderland meets Station Eleven, played out in places where paintings come to life.
The world is on the brink of utter destruction.
Despite the climate activists' best efforts, the atmosphere has turned toxic, destroying plant life, animals, and most of humanity too.
The few survivors live in domes protected from the lethal smog, serving Tempestas and Genrich, the world's last two great companies. They both have plans for mankind's future, but their visions are very different - and an uneasy collaboration between them is about to end, with desperate consequences.
But not everyone is bound to the companies: far from these centres of power stands the Museum Dome, where persons unknown have assembled mankind's finest paintings and artefacts. Fogg, the curator, thinks he must be the last man left alive, for in the three years he's been there, he's not had a single visitor, and his only company is AIPT, his automated physical trainer, who's very good when it comes to hamstrings and push-ups, but rubbish at actual conversation.
Then a single mysterious pill - a momenticon - appears in the Museum, proving he's not alone after all. Before Fogg knows what's hit him, he is embroiled in a desperate fight against time and the rival forces which threaten to overwhelm all that remains.
Starship Down

A cultural anthropologist consults with US Naval Intelligence to investigate the discovery of an extraterrestrial ship buried under the ice for thousands of years in Siberia. The meddling Russians, Vatican officials, the international media spotlight, and her own insecurities all threaten her efforts to keep the fabric of society from crumbling as mankind discovers its startling origin.

Leleplezem a családomat
"- El van intézve! - jelentette ki biztató mosollyal Vilmos atya -, a költözködést én fogom megszervezni.
Ebből rögtön tudtuk, hogy rémes dolgok következnek."
Miután Öcsi és barátai porrá zúzzák Apu könyvtárát, és néhány szaki (meg a titokzatos ra
uhenpikk) segítségével berendezik az új lakást - némi vendégriasztó, takarékossági, autóvezetési és férjnevelési túlélő lecke után -, azt hihetnénk, megnyugszanak a kedélyek. De nem!
Apu és Anyu inkább nyakába veszi a világot, azaz hátára a zsákot,
és meg sem áll az Adriáig. Egészen addig lubickolnak gondtalanul, ameddig Vilmos atya...
Méhes György, a nagy mesélő vidám családi regényeinek újabb kötetében minden mozgásba lendül soksok kalandból, hétköznapi bosszúságból valódi leleplező, szórakoztatóan tanulságos példatár született.

Ló és ember
"Ez a ló hozzánk hasonlított. (...)
Első pillanatban elmosolyodtam. Ha kalapot viselt volna, vagy sétapálcát vagy zsebórát, akkor se lehetett volna mulatságosabb, akkor se lehetett volna emberibb. Egyszerre azonban valami melegség járta át a szívemet. Én, aki remény nélkül szemlélem a köröttem kavargó aljasságot, ostobaságot, gyűlöletet, az emberi fajta hánykódását és agyarkodását, azt mondottam magamban, hogy ilyen lóval mégse találkoztak a középkorban. Lám-lám, szóltam a szívemhez, milyen szép ez." (Kosztolányi Dezső)
A kötetben többek között Ady Endre, Bíró Lajos, Gárdonyi Géza, Heltai Jenő, Hunyadi Sándor, Kellér Andor, Kosztolányi Dezső, Krúdy Gyula, Márai Sándor, Mikszáth Kálmán, Móricz Zsigmond, Nagy Endre, Zilahy Lajos írásai olvashatók.

Dévény Anna - Egy mindenkiért
Két éve találkoztam először Dévény Annával, 2016 tavaszán bólintott rá, hogy könyvet írjak róla. Egy éven keresztül beszélgettem vele, mint később kiderült, ez volt élete utolsó éve.
Ösztönös újító volt, akit a gyógyítás és olykor a sors komisz akaratával szembeni ellenállás hajtott. Eleinte ő maga sem tudta, mitől működik az a módszer, amelyre ráérzett. Mégis ezreket, kisebb és nagyobb gyerekeket, táncosokat, felnőtteket állított talpra. Olyanokat, akikről talán senki sem hitte, hogy esélyük lehet a teljes életre, vagy folytatódhat derékba tört pályájuk. Isteni kegyelemnek tartotta, amit kapott, ehhez mérten ragaszkodott annak tisztaságához.
Nem értette, miért kellene róla könyvet írnia bárkinek. Ő csak tette a dolgát, gyógyított, segített.
Szerény ember volt, de módszerének elismeréséért megküzdött a bürokráciával, a kétellyel és a gyógytornász szakmával is, amelynek élete végére legelismertebb művelője lett. Kemény harcos volt, talán túl kemény is.
Ő már nem érhette meg, hogy ez a könyv elkészüljön, de nekem mindent elmesélt. Én pedig leírtam.

Georgia O'Keeffe: To See Takes Time
A revelatory new volume on the American modernist's lesser-known works on paper, reuniting many serial works for the first time
Recalling a charcoal she made in 1916, Georgia O'Keeffe later wrote, "I have made this drawing several times--never remembering that I had made it before--and not knowing where the idea came from." These drawings, and the majority of O'Keeffe's works in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and graphite, belong to series in which she develops and transforms motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. In the formative years of 1915 to 1918, she made as many works on paper as she would in the next 40 years, producing sequences in watercolor of abstract lines, organic landscapes and nudes, along with charcoal drawings she would group according to the designation "specials." While her practice turned increasingly toward canvas in subsequent decades, important series on paper reappeared--including charcoal flowers of the 1930s, portraits of the 1940s and aerial views of the 1950s.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated volume highlights the drawings of an artist better known as a painter, and reunites individual sheets with their contextual series to illuminate O'Keeffe's persistently sequential practice.
Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) first received critical attention when her breakthrough charcoal drawings were exhibited in New York in 1916. Two years later, she moved to the city to work full time on her art. Beginning in 1929, O'Keeffe spent summers in New Mexico, where she would relocate in 1949. The most famous female artist of her age, she thought of herself not as "the best woman painter" but as "one of the best painters."

Buen Camino - Jó utat!
A Buen Camino utazás Spanyolországban, 800 kilométeren át, végig a lélek
rejtett ösvényein. A testet és lelket egyaránt próbára tevő Út
gondolatok és érzések tárháza. Camino, Út, Élet.
Kevés őszintébb, hitelesebb és sodróbb erejű könyvet olvashat manapság
az ember önmagáról, a bennünk levő „ismeretlen” Én felé vezető útról,
szeretetről, segítségről, kitartásról, arról, hogy kik vagyunk, mit is
keresünk magunkban és másokban, a világban (újra és újra), el addig,
hogy milyen szülők, gyermekek, társak és barátok vagyunk/voltunk. Igazi
írói vénára, igazi írói szemre valló munka, a legapróbb részletekre is
kitérő, alapos megfigyelő, és – mondjuk ki, született prózaíró könyve a
Buen Camino! (Fekete Vince)
Menón
"Én vagyok a legnagyobb zavarban és útvesztőben, amikor másokat összezavarok."
A Menón - viszonylagos rövidsége ellenére - korszakos jelentőségű dialógusa az életműnek: azok a meghatározó platóni elképzelések, amelyek az etika, a lélekvándorlás, az anamnészisz, az ideaelmélet, a matematika és az eszkatológia vonatkozásában megfogalmazódnak, és amelyeket általában a platóni filozófia legfontosabb jellemzőiként tartanak számon, ebben a dialógusban fordulnak elő először.
A dialógust gazdag jegyzetapparátus és a fordító utószava kíséri.
Platón műveinek kommentált Atlantisz-összkiadása az utóbbi évtizedek klasszika-filológiai kutatásai alapján szükség szerint javítva, átdolgozva vagy teljesen új fordításban közli az egyes dialógusokat, s tartalmazza az eddig magyarul nem olvasható szövegeket is.
