Nature Is A Human Right
Having access to natural, green spaces is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. But, as urban development spreads, grey has become the new green.
Already, concrete outweighs every tree, bush and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide - especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. To combat this, Nature is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognized right for all, not a privilege.
This book has taken root from the mission and vision of the campaign, bringing together a collection of engaging essays, interviews and exercises, curated by Ellen, from a selection of its expert ambassadors and supporters (including authors, artists, scientists, human rights experts, television presenters, TED speakers, and climate activists). Through each contributor, we discover a new perspective on why contact with nature should be a protected human right, journeying through personal narratives on mental health, disability, racism, environmental inequality, creativity, innovation and activism.
This is a captivating and enlightening collection of original writing and ideas that highlights the importance of nature, the threats of nature deprivation, and the work that needs to be done to make our global future happier, healthier and more equal.
A Hedetske Full of Music
Foreword by Bob Stanley
On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped him in his tracks.
The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since.
Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first life-changing explosion of rock and also includes great soul soul stars such as Aretha Franklin, longtime colleagues like Elton John, and much-missed close friends Cilla Black and Olivia Newton-John.
This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The 30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have each moved him deeply, but it's also about the legendary artists he met, and often got to know. He shares those stories and memories with you, too.
A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for sound with him and read on.

Csoda az Andokban
"Az Életben maradtak története a túlélő szemszögéből" 1972 tavasza. Nando Parrado három napig fekszik öntudatlanul, majd arra eszmél, hogy a rögbicsapatát Chilébe szállító repülőgép valahol az Andok kellős közepén lezuhant, s a balesetben több csapattársa és az édesanyja is szörnyethalt. Egy élettelen gleccseren rekedve szüntelenül az apjára gondol, és szilárdan eltökéli: nem fogja tétlenül várni a halált. Hófödte hegycsúcsokon, alattomos hegyoldalakon átkelve hetven kilométert tesz meg a fagyos pusztaságban, hogy segítséget hozzon társainak. Több mint harminc évvel a tragédia után az azóta nemzeti hőssé lett Parrado megindító őszinteséggel és mély érzelmekkel idézi fel megpróbáltatása történetét. Személyes hangú beszámolója megrendítő erővel közvetíti a halálközeliség élményét s a nyomában feltörő életigenlést: az egymásért való küzdés, az összetartás erejét.

Gay Bar: Why We Went Out
As gay bars continue to close at an alarming rate, a writer looks back to find out what’s being lost in this intimate, stylish, and indispensible celebration of queer history.
Strobing lights and dark rooms; throbbing house and drag queens on counters; first kisses, last the gay bar has long been a place of solidarity and sexual expression—whatever your scene, whoever you’re seeking. But in urban centers around the world, they are closing, a cultural demolition that has Jeremy Atherton Lin What was the gay bar? How have they shaped him? And could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it?
In Gay Bar, the author embarks upon a transatlantic tour of the hangouts that marked his life, with each club, pub, and dive revealing itself to be a palimpsest of queer history. In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball, he time-travels from Hollywood nights in the 1970s to a warren of cruising tunnels built beneath London in the 1770s; from chichi bars in the aftermath of AIDS to today’s fluid queer spaces; through glory holes, into Crisco-slicked dungeons and down San Francisco alleys. He charts police raids and riots, posing and passing out—and a chance encounter one restless night that would change his life forever.
The journey that emerges is a stylish and nuanced inquiry into the connection between place and identity—a tale of liberation, but one that invites us to go beyond the simplified Stonewall mythology and enter lesser-known battlefields in the struggle to carve out a territory. Elegiac, randy, and sparkling with wry wit, Gay Bar is at once a serious critical inquiry, a love story and an epic night out to remember.

Moody
'Amy's book is everything I should have learned at school. It is a reminder to empower ourselves, in a world that still sadly lacks so much knowledge around women's health, by getting to know our own bodies more intimately - with the help of technology built by women' Emma Gannon
'Moody is a fascinating and friendly guide for you to understand you better.' Melissa Hemsley
'Knowledge is power and this book equips you with the power to unlock potential and happiness.' Poppy Jamie, author of Happy Not Perfect
There is a secret inside you which, once you understand it fully, has the capacity to unlock untold potential. Once you learn the science of your hormones, you will be able to harness it forever.
Hormones were something Amy Thomson, founder and CEO of leading women's health app and tech service Moody, never paid attention to, until one day her periods stopped and what had been an inconvenience each month became a barometer for her body's health and mental happiness.
When she discovered that her hormonal burnout was driven by stress, she quit her job and focused on trying to understand how her body worked, to establish why and how she had pushed herself too far.
In this guide, Amy shares the research and science behind how our hormones work for twenty-first-century survival, how understanding them can help you build better and healthier routines, and why the systems and cycles inside us are an invisible but powerful force.
With insights from nutritionists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists, personal trainers and others, Moody provides a holistic and practical blueprint for understanding your hormones and optimising your life around them.

Ando. Complete Works 1975-Today. 2023 Edition
Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize.
Philippe Starck defines him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom.
This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms.
Featuring designs from award-winning private homes, churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces throughout Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the USA, this XXL-edition brings you up close and personal with a Modernist master.
Also available in an Art Edition limited to 100 copies, with an original sketch signed by Tadao Ando and a Natural Oak box designed by Ando.
Briliáns barátnőm - Nápolyi regények 1.
Ferrante fever - így nevezték a jelenséget, amely pár éve a Nápolyi regények megjelenésekor végigsöpört a világon. A híradások szinte mindegyike megemlítette a szerző személyét körüllengő homályt, ugyanis az Elena Ferrante írói álnév. A mai napig nem tudni, hogy kit takar, bár a tetralógia sikerének köszönhetően a találgatások megszaporodtak. Olyannyira, hogy 2016 október elején bejárta a nemzetközi és a hazai sajtót Claudio Gatti oknyomozó újságíró cikke, amelyben számos adattal alátámasztva felfedni véli a szerző kilétét: szerinte Ferrante valójában egy Olaszországban kevéssé ismert fordító, Anita Raja.
Lila Cerullo és Elena Greco tűz és víz. Lina fiús, robbanékony, erőszakos, parancsolásra született, Elena lágy, odaadó, szorgalmas, figyelmes és önfeláldozó. Jobban nem is különbözhetnének, sorsuk mégis egy életre összefonódik az 1950-es évek poros nápolyi udvarain. Hol elválaszthatatlan barátnők, hol fékezhetetlen szellemi riválisok. Nem tudnak se egymással, se egymás nélkül élni, kiegészítik, inspirálják egymást; egyikük sem lenne a másik nélkül az, aki. Mindketten egy szegénységgel küszködő, büszke, erőszakos férfitársadalomban próbálnak a maguk módján boldogulni, előrébb jutni, a tőlük telhető legnagyobb függetlenséget kivívni.
A Briliáns barátnőm, melyben Lila és Elena gyermek- és kamaszkorát ismerjük meg, egy négykötetes regényfolyam, a Nápolyi regények első része. Elena Ferrante gazdag érzelmekkel és lenyűgöző intelligenciával ábrázolja két főszereplője személyiségfejlődését és a mindent felülíró szeretetet és csodálatot, mely évtizedeken át táplálta és mélyítette barátságukat.
Elena Ferrante a kortárs világirodalom nagy rejtélye. Regényei zajos sikert aratnak, díjakat nyernek, számos nyelvre lefordítják őket, de kiléte ismeretlen. Annyi tudható róla, hogy Nápolyban született és ő a Tékozló szeretet, az Amikor elhagytak és a Nő a sötétben szerzője. Első két regényét Mario Martone, valamint Roberto Faenza filmesítette meg. La Frantumaglia című műhelynaplójában levelezését, jegyzeteit valamint kiadatlan írásait gyűjtötte össze. 2007-ben La spiaggia di notte (Éjjeli strand) címen egy gyerekkönyve is megjelent. A Briliáns barátnőm a Nápolyi regények című tetralógiájának első kötete.
Végső rendrakás svéd módra
Magnussonnak köszönhetően a Svédországban régóta élő hagyományból, amelyet magyarul végső takarításnak nevezhetünk, mostanra világszerte követendő trend lett.
"A végső takarítás olyasmi, amit azért kell megcsinálnod, hogy ne a gyermekeidnek kelljen ezekkel a dolgokkal foglalkozniuk. Habár továbbra is úgy érzem, ez is jó ösztönző erő lehet, ez az éremnek csak az egyik oldala.
A végső takarítást azonban a saját megelégedésedre is csinálod. Nincs is fontosabb annál, mint hogy valamiben örömed leljed, és közben az emlékeidet is feleleveníthesd. Csodás érzés végignézni az összegyűjtött holmijaidon, és felidézni, mit is érnek. Ha pedig valamiről nem jut eszedbe semmi, és fogalmad sincs, miért is őrizgetted - akkor könnyű lesz megválni tőle."
Margareta Magnusson svéd festőművész és grafikus a stockholmi Anders Beckman Formatervező Főiskolán végezte tanulmányait. Műalkotásait Hongkongtól Szingapúrig számtalan helyen kiállították. Öt gyermeke van, jelenleg Stockholmban él. A Végső rendrakás svéd módra az első könyve.
