How Google Works
Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google as seasoned Silicon Valley business executives, but over the course of a decade they came to see the wisdom in Coach John Wooden's observation that 'it's what you learn after you know it all that counts'. As they helped grow Google from a young start-up to a global icon, they relearned everything they knew about management. How Google Works is the sum of those experiences distilled into a fun, easy-to-read primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption. The authors explain how the confluence of three seismic changes - the internet, mobile, and cloud computing - has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers. The companies that will thrive in this ever-changing landscape will be the ones that create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom the authors dub 'smart creatives'. The management maxims ('Consensus requires dissension', 'Exile knaves but fight for divas', 'Think 10X, not 10%') are illustrated with previously unreported anecdotes from Google's corporate history. 'Back in 2010, Eric and I created an internal class for Google managers,' says Rosenberg. 'The class slides all read 'Google confidential' until an employee suggested we uphold the spirit of openness and share them with the world. This book codifies the recipe for our secret sauce: how Google innovates and how it empowers employees to succeed.'

A fegyvertelen katona - Desmond Doss - Egy nem mindennapi hős története
Desmond Doss szinte hihetetlen élettörténete, aki a második világháború egyik legvéresebb csatájában Okinawa szigetén 75 bajtársa életét mentette meg úgy, hogy ő maga nem viselt fegyvert. Vallási meggyőződése volt, hogy noha hazája igazságos háborút vív, neki magának nem szabad ölnie. Szanitécként több alkalommal is egymaga hozta ki sebesült bajtársait az ellenséges vonalak mögül vagy a tűz alatt tartott senkiföldjéről, miközben ő maga is súlyos sérüléseket szenvedett. Doss volt az első olyan katona, aki lelkiismereti okokból megtagadta a fegyveres szolgálatot, és megkapta a Kongresszusi Becsület Érdemrendet, Amerika legmagasabb katonai kitüntetését.
Az életrajból azonos címmel, Mel Gibson rendezésében készült mozifilm 6 Oscar jelölést kapott 2017-ben!

Unhappy Union
The euro was supposed to create an unbreakable bond between the nations and people of Europe. But when the debt crisis struck, the flaws of the half-built currency has brought the EU close to breaking point after decades of post-war integration.
Deep fault-lines have opened up between European institutions and the nation-states, and often between the rulers and the ruled, raising profound questions about Europe's democratic deficit. Belief in European institutions and national governments alike is waning, while radicals of both the left and the right are gaining power and influence.
Europe's leaders have so far proved the doomsayers wrong and prevented the currency from breaking up. "If the euro fails, Europe fails," says Angela Merkel. Yet the euro, and the European project as a whole, is far from safe. If it is to survive and thrive, leaders will finally have to confront difficult decisions. How much national sovereignty are they willing to give up to create a more lasting and credible currency? How much of the debt burden and banking risk will they share? Is Britain prepared to walk away from the EU? And will other countries follow? In their astute analysis of the crisis, the authors describe America's behind-the-scenes lobbying to salvage the euro, economists' bitter debates over austerity, the unseen manoeuvres of the European Central Bank and the tortuous negotiations over banking union. In the final chapter, they set out the stark choices confronting Europe's leaders and citizens.

Imádlak, Jason Thorn
"Tökéletes romantikus regény!" - BFF BOOK BLOG
Az első perctől kezdve odavagyok érte...
Jason Thorn... a bátyám legjobb gyerekkori barátja.
Ó, hogy milyen iszonyatosan szerelmes voltam ebbe a fiúba! Ugye milyen romantikus? Ahogy az ember lánya érzi az izgalmas bizsergést, amikor először átéli, amint szárnyra kapnak azok a híres pillangók - és csakis Jason miatt! Csakhogy egyszer véget ér a tündérmese, sárba tiporják az álmaidat, utána pedig biztos, ami biztos, darabokra törik a szívedet is. Ez a fiú pontosan ezt tette velem.
Miután túljutottunk az álmok sárba tiprásán, ő lett az a srác, akit messze elkerültem. Amikor egy szörnyű tragédia történt a családjában és elköltöztek, én készen álltam arra, hogy mindörökre elfelejtsem.
Mára igazi filmcsillag lett belőle. Olyan szupersztár, akiért a nők őrjöngő lelkesedéssel rajonganak. Olyan ez, mint egy valóra vált álom, ugye? Szerintem egyáltalán nem.
Hogy ki vagyok én? Olive, egy újdonsült írónő. Vagyis hát ÉN írtam azt a könyvet, amit filmre visznek, mégpedig Jason főszereplésével! Ezenkívül az internet azzal van tele, hogy én vagyok az a szerencsés lány, akit a szupersztár Jason Thorn hamarosan feleségül vesz.
Most megint azt gondolod, hogy a világ legmázlistább csaja vagyok? Hát nem. Szó sincs semmi ilyesmiről.
Ella Maise, nemzetközi bestsellerszerző első, magyar nyelven megjelenő kötetében kilép a hétköznapok szürkeségéből, és egy varázslatosan romantikus világba repít.

Perennial Seller
The book that Inc. says "every entrepreneur should read" and an FT Book of the Month selection... How did the movie The Shawshank Redemption fail at the box office but go on to gross more than $100 million as a cult classic? How did The 48 Laws of Power miss the bestseller lists for more than a decade and still sell more than a million copies? How is Iron Maiden still filling stadiums worldwide without radio or TV exposure forty years after the band was founded? Bestselling author and marketer Ryan Holiday calls such works and artists perennial sellers. How do they endure and thrive while most books, movies, songs, video games, and pieces of art disappear quickly after initial success? How can we create and market creative works that achieve longevity? Holiday explores this mystery by drawing on his extensive experience working with businesses and creators such as Google, American Apparel, and the author John Grisham, as well as his interviews with the minds behind some of the greatest perennial sellers of our time. His fascinating examples include: - Rick Rubin, producer for Adele, Jay-Z, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who teaches his artists to push past short-term thinking and root their work in long-term inspiration. - Tim Ferriss, whose books have sold millions of copies, in part because he rigorously tests every element of his work to see what generates the strongest response. - Seinfeld, which managed to capture both the essence of the nineties and timeless themes to become a modern classic. - Harper Lee, who transformed a muddled manuscript into To Kill a Mockingbird with the help of the right editor and feedback. - Winston Churchill, Stefan Zweig, and Lady Gaga, who each learned the essential tenets of building a platform of loyal, dedicated supporters. Holiday reveals that the key to success for many perennial sellers is that their creators don't distinguish between the making and the marketing. The product's purpose and audience are in the creator's mind from day one. By thinking holistically about the relationship between their audience and their work, creators of all kinds improve the chances that their offerings will stand the test of time.

Climbs and Punishment
Cycling journalist Felix Lowe makes the leap from raconteur to rouleur, taking to the saddle for the first time to complete his very own grand tour of Europe. Lowe's light-hearted and entertaining travelogue charts his progress as he cycles 2,800 kilometres from Barcelona to Rome, crossing three countries and cycling over three mountain ranges, taking in some of cycling's most fabled climbs. As he follows in the tracks of some of the world's greatest wheelmen, Lowe puts professional cycling's three major stage races - the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana and Giro d'Italia - under the microscope, whilst capturing the potent mix of madness, humour and human spirit that make people identify with the sport so strongly. Powered by local delicacies and his trademark blend of self-deprecating humour and barbed wit, Lowe takes readers on an immersive journey through the Catalonian countryside, over the Pyrenean foothills and the rolling plains of Languedoc, through the flowery fields of Provence, over winding Alpine passes, between the vineyards and olive groves of Piedmont, and down the Apennine backbone of Italy. His epic quest traces the footsteps of the celebrated Carthaginian general Hannibal, who led his own pachyderm peloton of 37 elephants over the Alps and all the way to the gates of Rome. As much about the regions traversed as the cyclists who have left their sweat in the soil, Lowe's insightful account celebrates the sport, examines the psychology of both the crazed amateur and the pedalling pro, and delves into the awesome march of a military genius who almost brought the Roman Empire to its knees.

Designing Your Life
New York Times Bestseller At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise. "Designing Your Life walks readers through the process of building a satisfying, meaningful life by approaching the challenge the way a designer would. Experimentation. Wayfinding. Prototyping. Constant iteration. You should read the book. Everyone else will." —Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive “This [is] the career book of the next decade and . . . the go-to book that is read as a rite of passage whenever someone is ready to create a life they love.” —David Kelley, Founder of IDEO “An empowering book based on their popular class of the same name at Stanford University . . . Perhaps the book’s most important lesson is that the only failure is settling for a life that makes one unhappy. With useful fact-finding exercises, an empathetic tone, and sensible advice, this book will easily earn a place among career-finding classics.” —Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition.

Az árulás szíve - A fennmaradottak krónikái II.
A Venda barbár birodalmában foglyul esett Lia és Rafe számára alig van esély a menekülésre. Kaden, hogy megmentse Liát, akit korábban meg kellett volna ölnie, most azt állítja, hogy a hercegnő különleges adottságot birtokol – ez pedig felkelti a vendai komizár érdeklődését.
Semmi sem fekete vagy fehér többé. Rafe hazudott Liának, ám feláldozta a szabadságát, hogy megvédje. Kaden az életére tört, most mégis megmenti. A vendaiakról pedig, akiket Lia világéletében barbárnak hitt, kiderül, hogy távolról sem azok.
Liának meg kell küzdenie a neveltetésével, az adottságával és saját érzéseivel, miközben veszedelmes játékba fog az ellenséges főváros szívében… és döntései mindörökre megváltoztatják hazája, Morrighan és a saját sorsát.

Florentine
Florentine is a collection of recipes and photographs from Tuscany's capital. Emiko Davies draws on her lived experience of traditional Florentine cuisine to share recipes that transport readers to the piazzas of Florence. From her torta di mele - a reassuringly nonna-esque apple cake - to ravioli pera e ricotta - mouthwateringly buttery pear and ricotta ravioloni - allow yourself to be taken on a culinary tour through the city. Florentine is a unique stroll through the city's streets, past pastry shops bustling with espresso-sippers, hole-in-the-wall wine bars, busy food vans and lunchtime trattorias, to reveal why the people of Florence remain proudly attached to their unchanging cuisine - a cuisine that tells the unique story of its city, dish by dish. From the morning ritual of la pasticceria (the pastry shop) and il forno (the bakery), the tantalising fresh produce of il mercato (the market) and il maccellaio (the butcher) through to the romance of la trattoria, Davies expertly guides food lovers through the Renaissance city. Be swept up in the atmosphere of Florence's street food scene with a few bites of crunchy crostini with fig compote and prosciutto, or savour a silky gelato of hazelnut and crema. With a nod to Florence's rich history, Florentine offers some much-loved traditional dishes, such as schiacciata fiorentina (orange and vanilla cake), apricot jam crostata (apricot jam pie), piselli alla fiorentina (peas cooked in tomato sauce) and cinghiale con le olive (stewed wild boar with olives). Seasons and long-held food traditions play an important role in the Tuscan kitchen and this is reflected in every Florentine menu, bakery window or market stall. Davies says that one of the things living in Tuscany has taught her is that there is no such thing as Italian cuisine; rather, Florentine is about offering readers a local's perspective on one of the country's 20 regional cuisines. In this case, the one that has won her heart.
