Hip Hop Raised Me
Hip Hop Raised Me[registered] is the definitive volume on the essence, experience and energy that is hip hop, and its massive and enduring impact over the last 40 years. It's packed with contact sheets, outtakes and glory shots of artists, collectives and fans off-guard and in action from iconic photographers including Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, Eddie Otchere, Normski, Janette Beckman, Chi Modu, Nabil Elderkin and Mark Humphrey, as well as photographs of hip-hop ephemera and vinyl courtesy of specialist collectors. With the help of his definitive catalogue of interviews with hip-hop artists from the 1990s to today, conducted at key moments in their careers and including Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Drake, Nicki Minaj, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip hop in society. He reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life and the lives of many others, providing inspiration and purpose to generation after generation of disaffected youths. Taking a thematic approach and featuring seminal interviews he has conducted with key hip-hop artists, Semtex traces the characteristics and influence of hip hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ Kool Herc's block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public Enemy and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is hip hop today. Hip-hop artists have gone from hustlers to successful entrepreneurs and businessmen. Hip hop has come of age. Foreword by Chuck D.

Lacná kniha Kis magyar szépségipar
Az idegenforgalom, a műkereskedelem és egy sokat megélt transzvesztita életének bemutatása után László Erika bevezet bennünket a női öregedés titkaiba, a munkájukért felelősséget nem vállaló plasztikai sebészek, a hamis szakvéleményt író igazságügyi szakértők, az alkalmatlan ügyvédek és a pereket a végtelenségig húzó bíróságok szövevényes világába. Különleges utazásokon is részt vehetünk: betekinthetünk a Beverly Hills-i orvoslás kulisszái mögé, és körülnézhetünk Norvégia legészakibb pontján.
A történet főhőse az ötvenes évei elején járó Bella. Hiúságból plasztikai beavatkozásra szánja el magát. Műtét súlyos szövődménnyel jár, eltorzítja az arcát, ráadásul megvakulással fenyegeti. A saját magát istennek tartó sebész nemcsak hogy nem ismeri el szakmai hibáját, hanem az előzőleg busás összeggel lehúzott, elcsúfított páciensét jóvátétel nélkül kidobja a praxisából.
Bella hiába fordul segítségért az állami egészségügyhöz, a szakmai kamarákhoz és fórumokhoz - nincs törvény, és a szándék is hiányzik a magánszektorban működő, etikátlan kontárok megregulázására. Mivel helyzetére a várhatóan nyolc-tíz évig elhúzódó, költséges műhibaper sem jelent megoldást, döntő lépésre szánja el magát.
Ádáz, sőt véres, büntetőjogi következménnyel is járó háború veszi kezdetét, amelyben orvos és páciense is átlépi a társadalom által kijelölt határokat, és bedöntik az addig többé-kevésbé jól felépített, konvencionális életüket.

The bank's HQ is based in a huge Elizabethan manor hidden in The Forest, a vast area in the deep south of England. Tweed has already met members of the two families, run by their forefathers for generations. Was Bella murdered by one of them - or is it the work of the vicious Calouste? The movement never stops, changing to Calouste's Chateau Les Rochers in the Belgian Ardennes. A ferocious battle takes place. Two more murders are committed at the manor. Tweed and Paula race to tiny Seacove on the rugged Cornish coast to prevent another murder. Finally, Tweed proves the Bank, founded in 1912, was based on a brutal crime all those years ago.

Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by the riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 'I'm as surprised as anyone about this novella,' said Stephenie Meyer. 'When I began working on it in 2005, it was simply an exercise to help me examine the other side of Eclipse, which I was editing at the time. I thought it might end up as a short story that I could include on my website. Then, when work started on The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, I thought the Guide would be a good fit for my Bree story. However, the story grew longer than I anticipated, until it was too long to fit into the Guide.'

How Emotions Are Made
'A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin' Daniel Gilbert, author of the bestseller Stumbling on Happiness When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside you? Most scientists would agree that emotions come from specific parts of the brain, and that we feel them whenever they're triggered by the world around us. The thrill of seeing an old friend, the sadness of a tear-jerker movie, the fear of losing someone you love - each of these sensations arises automatically and uncontrollably within us, finding expression on our faces and in our behaviour, and carrying us away with the experience. This understanding of emotion has been around since Aristotle. But what if it's wrong? In How Your Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our ideas about emotion are dramatically, even dangerously, out of date - and that we have been paying the price. Emotions don't exist objectively in nature, Barrett explains, and they aren't pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather, they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history, physiology and environment. This new view of emotions has serious implications: when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion, when police officers fire at threatening suspects, or when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another, they're all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies. Revising that conception of emotion isn't just good science, Barrett shows; it's vital to our wellbeing and the health of society itself.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone
DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE is a book unbounded by genre but located at a magical crossroads where THE PASSAGE meets PHILIP PULLMAN and TWILIGHT meets PAN'S LABYRINTH.Errand requiring immediate attention. Come.The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things.

On the one hand, she's a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.'Remarkable and beautifully written ...The opening volume of a truly original trilogy.'

Audrey Hepburn Photographis 1953 - 1966
Our Fair Lady The Tiffany princess. In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby took iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda, but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject: Audrey Kathleen Ruston, later Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston, best known as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still, but when he met the Belgian-born beauty, Willoughby was enraptured. "She took my hand like...well a princess, and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal men's hearts," he recalls. As Hepburn's career soared following her Oscar-winning US debut in "Roman Holiday", Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburn's beauty and elegance, as she progresses from her debut to her career high of "My Fair Lady" in 1963. Willoughby's studies, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors, and returning to her private life, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of the 20th century's touchstone beauties.

Breaking Dawn - Hajnalhasadás
Ha az készül megölni téged, akit szeretsz, nincs választási lehetőséged. Hogy is menekülhetnél el, hogyan is küzdhetnél az életedért, amikor ezzel fájdalmat okoznál ennek a szeretett személynek? Ha nem maradt más, csak az életed, amit neki adhatsz, hogyan is tagadhatnád ezt meg tőle? Ha igazán szereted?"Amikor Bella Swan ráébred, hogy visszavonhatatlanul beleszeretett egy vámpírba, az élet hirtelen veszedelmesen izgalmas lesz számára: tündérmese és rémálom keveréke. Mivel érzései két irányba rángatják: - szenvedélyesen szerelmes Edward Cullenbe, ugyanakkor mély barátság fűzi Jacob Blackhez, a vérfarkashoz -, viharos, küzdelmekkel és lemondásokkal teli évet tudhat maga mögött, míg végre eljut a végső fordulópontig. Rövid időn belül döntenie kell: a halhatatlanok sötét, de csábító világát választja-e, vagy a teljes emberi életet? Márpedig ez a döntés lesz az a hajszál, amelyen két törzs élete is múlik.Az Alkonyat-saga legújabb döbbenetes, türelmetlenül várt kötetében, a Hajnalhasadásban végre fény derül ennek a lenyűgöző romantikus történetnek, amely olvasók millióit bűvölte el, minden titkára és rejtélyére.
Most, hogy Bella meghozta a döntést, megdöbbentő, váratlan események sorát indítja el vele. Amelyeknek felmérhetetlen, megsemmisítő következményei is lehetnek. Lehetséges, hogy most, amikor Bella élete szövetének különböző szálai - amelyeket először az Alkonyatban követhettünk, majd az Újholdban és a Napfogyatkozásban kísérhettük figyelemmel szétbomlásukat és elszakadásukat -, úgy tűnik, készek újra egyesülni, éppen most fognak megsemmisülni... végleg?
