The Love Hypothesis
'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
Terpning: Tribute to the Plains
Terpning, the storyteller of the Plains Indians, presents his most important paintings of the past 35 yearsHoward Terpning is one of the most lauded painters of Western art and considered by many to be a national treasure. He is known as the "storyteller of the Native American" because of his devotion to and respect for his subject matter, almost exclusively the Plains Indian. He particularly favors the period beginning in the late eighteenth century when a Great Plains culture of Indians and horses thrived along with the buffalo. Passion, compassion, extraordinary talent in palette and brushstroke, and an exceptional ability to evoke emotion and narrative in his paintings have made his work rise to the top as he strives to keep alive the heritage and culture of Native Americans through the power of art. With more than 120 full-color paintings, this volume is the most comprehensive collection of Howard Terpning's work to date. The text by fellow artist Harley Brown provides a unique artist's view of Terpning's oeuvre through discussions of his colors, composition, inspiration, and sheer talent.

Go Fund Yourself What Money Means in the 21st Century How to be Good at it and Live Your Best Life
Go Fund Yourself isn't about cutting back on coffee or walking to work and it definitely isn't about becoming a bazillionaire overnight (sorry). I don't believe in telling you what you should and shouldn't spend your money on and sadly, get rich quick schemes are a load of BS. Instead, it combines time-tested, expert advice with fresh insights into how money works today and how you can earn, spend and invest your way towards living your best life.
Through the lens of five topics: Learn it, Earn it, Start it, Spend it and Invest it, it covers all the essentials that we should have been taught at school, but weren't. From setting up a system to get you out of debt faster, to simple budgeting hacks. It also investigates the big financial challenges and opportunities we face today, from what the #RichKidsofInstagram have to do with you and your money, why spending no longer means owning and how being open about our finances could make us all richer.
And, most importantly it helps you take action, with helpful exercises and the 'GFY Money Plan'; a step by step guide to the seven most important financial moves you can make for your life.

Az én és mások
"Minden emberi lénynek, legyen az felnőtt vagy gyerek, szüksége van arra, hogy jelentősége legyen, hogy fontos legyen, vagyis helye legyen egy másik ember világában."
R. D. Laing, az antipszichiátria atyja, Feldmár András mestere, e klasszikus művében a személyek közti tapasztalás és viselkedés témáját járja körül számtalan hétköznapi és világirodalmi példával, illetve saját terápiás praxisából származó esettanulmánnyal illusztrálva. Újszerű megközelítését adja a fantázia fogalmának, amely nem csupán az egyén, de a környezet szempontjából is releváns tapasztalat - noha középpontjában az az eredendő ellentmondás áll, hogy sohasem élhetjük és érhetjük meg közvetlenül a másik ember tapasztalásait, csupán következtethetünk azokra. Laing feltárja a többszemélyes - nem ritkán tudattalanul működő - családi és párkapcsolati rendszerek dinamikáját, melyben az egyén önazonosságára és viselkedésére építően vagy rombolóan hatnak a környezetében lévők vélelmei, szavai és tettei. Az én és mások, a HVG Könyvek Laing-sorozatának második köteteként, most először olvasható magyarul.

Texting 2: Chce sa mi s tebou m(a)ilovať
Je môj spolubývajúci... a bývalý frajer mojej najlepšej kamarátky.
Keď na nástenku zavesím oznam, že hľadám spolubývajúceho, on je ten posledný, koho mám na mysli.
Je tiež posledný človek na Zemi, s ktorým by som išla dobrovoľne bývať.
No stalo sa. Sme spolubývajúci. Som si istá, že dokážeme spolunažívať bez toho, aby to bolo trápne, a som odhodlaná spraviť pre to čokoľvek. Nebude medzi nami nijaké sexuálne napätie, vždy keď sa jeden druhého dotkneme, nijaké motýle v bruchu, vždy keď si na hlavu nasadí tú blbú bejzbalovú šiltovku, a rozhodne nebudeme flirtovať cez správy.
Caleb Mills nemôže byť chalan pre mňa. Je to bývalý frajer mojej najlepšej kamarátky.
A to by bol odo mňa podraz... Však?

How to Cure a Fanatic
In "How To Cure a Fanatic" Amos Oz analyses the historical roots of violence and confronts truths about the extremism nurtured throughout society. By bringing us face to face with fanaticism he suggests ways in which we can all respond. In "Help Us to Divorce" he convinces irrefutably that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is primarily a dispute over 'whose house this is'. In his characteristically lucid, intelligent and inspiring prose Amos Oz is unafraid to advocate solutions to the dispute and to espouse his belief that there will, one day, be a resolution to the conflict. 'I'm no longer a European in any sense, except through the pain of my parents and my ancestors, who left forever in my genes a sense of unrequited love for Europe...But if I were a European, I'd be careful not to point the finger at anyone. Instead of calling the Israelis this name or the Palestinians that name, I would do anything I could to help both sides, because both of them are on the verge of making the most painful decision of their history...You no longer have to choose between being pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, you have to be pro-peace'.

How to Worry Less About Money
Our relationship with money is one that lasts a lifetime. It can be as important as family life, as competitive as work, and as exciting and secretive as love. Yet books about money tend to take one of two routes: a) how to get more, or b) how to deal with less. This book turns these questions upside down, and looks not at money itself, but at the way we view it. How does money drive us? How does it frighten us? And how can it help us make sense of who we are? Money is too important a part of life for us not to worry about, but by approaching it differently, we can change the way we perceive its worth. With surprising and enlightening new insights, How to Worry Less About Money will help you realise what material wealth really means.
