Gennaro’s Verdure
In Gennaro’s Verdure, Gennaro transforms humble vegetables from side dish material into the hero of the plate, using punchy flavours from staple ingredients in his unique and much loved Italian style.
Structured by colour chapters that group recipes into vegetable families, Gennaro champions their versatility and breaks the common misconception that vegetables lack texture and flavour. This novel approach not only adds visual appeal but also allows for easy navigation and exploration of the wonderful world of vegetables.
Up first, Green Vegetables, Gennaro highlights the crisp freshness and health benefits of greens like asparagus, spinach, and broccoli. He transforms these humble ingredients into culinary masterpieces; try Gennaro's Asparagus Carbonara, a delightful twist on the classic pasta dish, and be tempted by his Spinach ‘plumcake’, a unique creation that combines savoury and sweet flavours.
In Red Vegetables, Gennaro celebrates the vibrant hues and rich flavours of produce such as tomatoes, Swiss chard and red peppers. From Chard Calzone to a zingy Tomato Sorbet, Gennaro proves that these red gems can be the star ingredients of extraordinary dishes.
Sunshine Vegetables radiates with the vibrant colours of yellow, cream and orange vegetables. Gennaro showcases the natural sweetness and sunny disposition of ingredients such as carrots, onions and pumpkins. These recipes will bring warmth and joy to your plate, from comforting Pumpkin Gnocchi to Carrot Soufflé.
Purple Vegetables uncovers the hidden treasures lurking in the depths of our refrigerators. Aubergines, purple radicchio and beetroots take centre stage. Savour Beetroot Capracchio and Raddchio Terrine over a picnic lunch on a summer’s day, imagining you are on the Amalfi Coast.
While not all recipes are entirely plant-based, Gennaro ensures that every dish includes the beauty and goodness of plants. With his signature Italian touch, these innovative meals are designed to please not only vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians, but also meat-eaters looking to incorporate more vegetables into their diet.
Gennaro's Verdure is a testament to the incredible potential of vegetables, including an in-depth profile of each. Whether you're seeking inspiration for a meatless Monday or aiming to embrace a plant-based lifestyle, Gennaro's recipes are sure to leave you satisfied, nourished, and eager to experiment with the endless possibilities of vegetables.
Civilizáció
Ha 1411-ben körbeutazhattuk volna a földet, leginkább talán a Kelet pezsgő civilizációi nyűgöztek volna le bennünket. A Mingek Pekingjében éppen a Tiltott Város építése zajlott, a Közel-Keleten pedig az oszmánok egyre inkább körbezárták Konstantinápolyt.
Ezzel szemben Anglia egy pestistől és állandó háborúktól sújtott, elmaradott térségnek tűnt volna, szörnyű higiéniai viszonyokkal. A többi civódó nyugat-európai királyság - Aragónia, Kasztília, Franciaország, Portugália és Skócia - sem tett volna ránk kedvezőbb benyomást. Az a gondolat, hogy a következő fél évezred jó részében a Nyugat uralja majd a többieket, merő képzelgésnek tűnt volna csupán. Pedig így történt.
Mi lehetett az a nyugat-európai civilizációban, ami lehetővé tette, hogy a fejlettebb keleti birodalmak fölé emelkedjen? Niall Ferguson szerint a válasz a Nyugat hat "gyilkos alkalmazásában" keresendő, amelyek nem mások, mint a verseny, a tudomány, a tulajdon, az orvostudomány, a fogyasztás és a munka.
Manapság a kulcskérdés az, vajon a Nyugat elveszítette-e a monopóliumát ezeken a területeken. Amennyiben igen, elképzelhető, hogy a Nyugat fénykorának végére értünk, figyelmeztet Ferguson.
Civilizáció című mű különleges világkörüli utazásra hívja olvasóit: a nankingi Nagy- csatornától az isztambuli Topkapi palotáig; az Andokban fekvő Machu Picchutól a namíbiai Shark-szigetig, Prága büszke tornyaitól Vencsou számos titkos templomáig. Vitorlásokról, hittérítőkről, földtulajdonosi okiratokról, oltásokról, a farmernadrágról és a kínai bibliákról szól ez a történet. A modern világtörténelem meghatározó narratívája.
Two Riders Were Approaching: The Life & Death of Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy was a down-at-heel guitarist in New York, relying on his latest lovers to support him while he tried to emulate his hero Bob Dylan. A black guy playing white rock music, he wanted to be all things to all people.
But when Jimmy arrived in England and became Jimi, the cream of swinging London fell under his spell. It wasn't that Jimi could play with his teeth, play with his guitar behind his back. It was that he could really play.
Journeying through the purple haze of idealism and paranoia of the sixties, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan deferred on his own song 'All Along the Watchtower', who forced Miles Davis to reconsider his buttoned-down ways - and whose 'Star Spangled Banner' defined Woodstock.
And when his star, which had burned so brightly, was extinguished far too young, his legend lived on in the music - and the intrigue surrounding his death.
Eschewing the traditional rock-biography format, Two Riders Were Approaching is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of the life and death of Jimi Hendrix - and a journey into the dark heart of the sixties. While the groupies lined up, the drugs got increasingly heavy and the dream of the sixties burned in the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King and the election of President Richard Nixon.
Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, has drawn upon his own interviews and extensive research to produce an inimitable, novelistic telling of this tale - the definitive portrait of the Guitar God at whose altar other guitar gods worship.
Jimi Hendrix's is a story that has been told many times before - but never quite like this.
Az arany szelence
"Megfordultam. Az ajtó kilincs lassan megmozdult. Elõször azt hittem, hogy Balck. De aztán valami ösztönöm veszély érzet óvatosságra intett. Megláttam, hogy Brandweiss az asztalra, tette a karabélyt, felkaptam és az ágy alá lódítottam. Pár szempillantás volt az egész s a fõvadász ez alatt két lépéssel az ablaknál termett és csak annyit láttam, hogy kiugrik rajta. Ugyanekkor a szél felemelte a függönyöket, a gyertya lángja lobogni kezdett és láttam, hogy az ajtó nyitva van. Óriási ember alakja jelent meg a küszöbön. A gyertya lángja ismét nyugodt lett. Az ajtó halkan bezárult. Az óriás termetû férfi állt a szobában kalappal a fején, botjára támaszkodva és vészjósló szemeket meresztett rám. Megborzongva ismertem rá a szállodabeli Tuskólábúra. Aki csak egyszer látta is, soha el nem felejthette ezt az embert. Hatalmas mellével és otromba törzsével, cséphadaró karjaival és kivált visszataszító szõrösségével úgy hatott, mint az õsi állati erõ megtestesülése. Valami megnevezhetetlen fenyegetés légköre áradt ki belõle..."

A kék kéz
"Hirtelen felült ágyában, hideg borzongás futott át a testén. Valaki volt a szobában! Tapogatózva nyúlt a villanykapcsoló felé és majdnem felsikoltott. Egy kézhez, hideg kézhez ért az éjjeli szekrényen. Egy pillanatra megdermedt a rémülettõl. A kéz hirtelen visszahúzódott. Hallotta a függöny zizzenését, s az éjszaka sötétjében egy alak árnyéka rajzolódott az ablakra. Kiugrott az ágyból, egész testében reszketett, s felgyújotta a villanyt. A szoba üres volt, de a földig érõ ablakszárnyat csak betámaszották. Az ágy melletti asztalon szürke kártyát pillanott meg. Remegõ ujjakkal emelte fel: ?Valaki, aki szereti Önt, kéri, hagyja el azonnal a házat, mert élete és becsülete veszélyben forog.? Az aláírás helyére kék színû, keskeny kezet rajzoltak." A szerzõrõl: Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) az angol krimi-, újság- és színmûíró számos népszerû kaland és detektívregény szerzõje volt. Már életében "a krimi királyaként" ünnepelték. Haditudósítóként dolgozott az orosz-japán háború során, hazatérését követõen írta meg elsõ könyvét, a Négy igaz embert. Korának hallatlanul termékeny és sikeres írója volt, mintegy 176 regényt és számos novellát írt 1932-ben bekövetkezett haláláig.

Until Proven Safe
Quarantine has shaped our world, yet it remains both feared and misunderstood. It is our most powerful response to uncertainty, but it operates through an assumption of guilt: in quarantine, we are considered infectious until proven safe. An unusually poetic metaphor for moral and mythic ills, quarantine means waiting to see if something hidden inside of us will be revealed.
Until Proven Safe tracks the history and future of quarantine around the globe, chasing the story of emergency isolation through time and space - from the crumbling lazarettos of the Mediterranean to the hallways of the CDC, to the corporate giants hoping to disrupt the widespread quarantine imposed by Covid-19 before the next pandemic hits through surveillance and algorithmic prediction.
Yet quarantine is more than just a medical tool: Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley drop deep into the Earth to tour a nuclear-waste isolation facility beneath the New Mexican desert, strip down to nothing but protective Tyvek suits to see plants stricken with a disease that threatens the world's wheat supply, and meet NASA's Planetary Protection Officer tasked with saving the Earth from extraterrestrial infections.
The result is part travelogue, part intellectual history - a book as compelling as it is definitive, and one that could not be more urgent or timely.
'Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley offer answers that will make your jaw drop. Nothing about "quarantine" is as simple or straight-forward as you think.' - Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World out of Balance

Order without Design
An argument that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure.
Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground—the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative—“sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient”—often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings. In this book, the eminent urban planner Alain Bertaud argues that applying the theories of urban economics to the practice of urban planning would greatly improve both the productivity of cities and the welfare of urban citizens.
Bertaud explains that markets provide the indispensable mechanism for cities' development. He cites the experience of cities without markets for land or labor in pre-reform China and Russia; this “urban planners' dream” created inefficiencies and waste. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world, Bertaud links cities' productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed.
