all about CHALETS
Exclusive living retreats set against the backdrop of majestic peaks, steep slopes and picturesque valleys
The chalet is a building style that enjoys lasting popularity all over the world. Dating back to the herdsman’s hut in the Alpine region, it became a longed-for destination and the most preferred holiday domicile in the 19th century with the emerging fascination with the Alps. Today, architects and designers are primarily inspired by the constantly redefined interplay of sublime nature, traditional architecture, regional building typologies, individual design, and modern formal language that pushes them to reach magnificent creative peaks.
The projects selected for this volume are diverse and remarkably multifaceted: From a traditional construction with a flat gable roof, wide roof overhang, and robust timber façade, to contemporary, thoroughly idiosyncratic interpretations with clear lines, creative choice of materials, and fine details. However, the artful staging of the imposing mountain world in the interior design plays a decisive role among all presented chalets.

We Need to Talk About Inflation
From investors and monetary authorities to governments and policy makers, almost everyone had assumed inflation was dead and buried. But now people the world over are confronting a poisonous new economic reality and, with it, the prospect of vast and increasing wealth inequality.
How have we arrived in this situation? And what, if anything, can we do about it?
Celebrated economist Stephen D. King—one of the few to warn ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheaval—identifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed. From ancient Rome through the American Civil War and up to the asset bubbles of today, inflation stems from policy error, sovereign greed, and a collective loss of faith in currencies.
We Need to Talk About Inflation cuts through centuries of bad judgment and misunderstanding, offering a means to intervene now—so we can begin to tackle the political and social upheaval unleashed by inflation.

The Truth About Lisa Jewell
Have you ever thought about what it takes to become a bestselling writer?
If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after the finish; it's an in-depth analysis of how that novel fits into a bestselling author like Lisa Jewell's career and her previous work, and what her style shares with authors from James Joyce to Martin Amis.
But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her game. Like Lisa Jewell's much-loved novels, it's also the story of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse - evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It's the story of two very different writers getting to know each other gradually through words; two complete strangers becoming something more like friends.
A must-have for fans of Lisa Jewell, for aspiring authors who are interested in the path to success - and a testament to the way books can bring us together. . .
Lonely boy
"A Sex Pistols nélkül nem létezne punk, Steve Jones nélkül pedig nem lett volna Sex Pistols: ő volt az, aki iskolatársával, Paul Cookkal megalakította a zenekart, amely végül ezen a néven vált híres-hírhedtté. Velük született meg ez a stílusirányzat, amelynek hatása és kulturális jelentősége máig érezhető a zenében, a divatban és a képzőművészetben. Steve, a banda eredeti vezetője, most a világ elé tárja a történetüket. Steve Jones modern dickensi regénye a nyugat-londoni Hammersmith és Shepherd’s Bush utcáin kezdődik, ahol egy magányos, elhanyagolt, de leleményes srác éli a piti tolvajok életét, mígnem egy nap David Bowie és a Roxy Music glam rockja új életcélt nem ad neki. Így emelkedik fel a rongyos punkok első generációja, amelyet Malcolm McLaren és Vivienne Westwood vesznek a szárnyaik alá.
A Lonely boyban Steve vall fájdalmáról, amiért nem ismerhette igazi apját, mesél bántalmazó mostohaapjáról, és arról, hogyan mentette meg a zene és a divat iránti érdeklődése attól, hogy rendőrségi fogdákban és börtönökben töltse a fél életét. Végigkalauzolja az olvasót a 70-es évek elejének lepukkant Kings Roadjától a Sex Pistolsig, a punk rockig, az „Anarchy in the UK” és a Never Mind the Bollocks… felvételéig. Felidézi a hírhedt interjút Bill Grundy Today című műsorából, amely az újságok címlapjára repítette a „mocsok és düh” kultúráját, és a brit köztudatba emelte a punkot. Részletesen tárgyalja az önkéntes New York-i és Los Angeles-i száműzetés, az alkohol-, heroin- és szexfüggőség éveit, amelyből végül győztesen került ki, hogy színészként és rádiós műsorvezetőként szerezzen magának új elismerést.
A Lonely boy egy valószínűtlen gitárhős története, aki a Sex Pistolsszal felforgatta a huszadik századi kultúrát, és társadalmi forradalmat indított el. "
