Kínáról
"Henry Kissinger (1923) az Egyesült Államok nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadója, majd külügyminisztere volt Richard Nixon és Gerald Ford elnöksége alatt. A huszadik századi amerikai külpolitika egyik legbefolyásosabb formálója és a hidegháború második szakaszában a kínaiamerikai kapcsolatok fő stratégája volt. ""Közel negyven évvel ezelőtt Richard Nixon elnök abban a megtiszteltetésben részesített, hogy elküldött Pekingbe kapcsolatot létesíteni egy Ázsia történelmében központi szerepet játszó állammal, amellyel Amerikának már több mint húsz éve nem volt magas szintű érintkezése. [] Az azóta eltelt időben ötvennél is többször jártam Kínában. Mint olyan sok látogató az évszázadok alatt, én is a kínai nép kitartása, kifinomultsága, családszeretete és kultúrája iránti csodálattal eltöltve jöttem el onnan. Ugyanakkor egész életemben a béke megteremtésének gondolata foglalkoztatott elsősorban amerikai szempontból. Abban a szerencsében volt részem, hogy vezető tisztviselőként, üzenetek közvetítőjeként és tudósként egyidejűleg ismerhettem meg Kínát mindkét megközelítésből. Ez a könyv kísérletet tesz arra, hogy részben a kínai vezetőkkel való beszélgetéseimre alapozva megmagyarázza azt a szemléletet, ahogy a kínaiak gondolkoznak a béke és a háború, a nemzetközi rend kérdéseiről, valamint ennek viszonyát a pragmatikusabb, esetről esetre haladó amerikai megközelítéshez. A különböző történelmek és kultúrák időnként egymástól eltérő konklúziókra jutnak. Nem mindig értek egyet a kínai látásmóddal, s némely olvasó is bizonyára így lesz ezzel. Szükségünk van azonban a megértésére, mivel Kína kiemelkedő szerepet fog játszani a huszonegyedik században kialakuló világban. Részlet az Előszóból"

Wealth Secrets of the 1%
The question is not, 'why is it so hard to get rich', but 'why is it so easy for some people to get rich?' Wealth Secrets of the One Per Cent is an exploration of how people become billionaires. It looks at what we can learn about business from the super-wealthy, from the Ancient World to modern emerging economies, via the American Industrialists, the '90s dotcom boom and other key entrepreneurial moments in history. Global Economic Forecaster Sam Wilkin's surprising conclusion is that despite superficial differences, from Mexican telecoms billionaires to Roman senators, their methods of wealth accumulation have a great deal in common. Behind almost every great fortune is a 'wealth secret'--a moneymaking technique that involves some sort of scheme for defeating the forces of market competition. They're not pretty, but then, who said making a billion was easy?

Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be, and a lifelong dedication to making it just so?In the end, you will see, there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible...The word-of-mouth bestseller causing a sensation across Europe, Fredrik Backman's heartwarming debut is a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step - and less ready to judge on first impressions a man you might one day wish to have as your dearest friend.

Annie Lumsden, the Girl from the Sea
A magical story about finding your identity from one of the most acclaimed storytellers of his generation, richly illustrated in full colour by an internationally renowned artist. My mother says that all things can be turned to tales. I thought she meant tales like fish tails, but I was wrong.
She meant tales like this, tales that are stories. But this tale of mine is very like a fish tail too... Annie has never been like the other girls.
Her mam tried sending her to school when she was small, but Annie couldn't seem to make words or numbers stick. She prefers instead to be swimming in the sea, or sunbathing on the shore at Stupor Beach, her head full of tales. She should have been a fish, her mam always tells her, and Annie knows the truth of it.
Then a stranger who comes to town is struck by the beauty and the wonder of her, and Annie Lumsden realizes that perhaps she really is half a creature from the sea.
Black Sheep: The Hidden Benefits of Being Bad
Richard Stephens became the focus of international media attention in 2009 for his research on the psychological benefits of swearing as a response to pain. Now, fresh from winning the 2014 Wellcome Trust Science Writing Prize, Richard's first popular science book uncovers other pieces of surprising and occasionally bizarre scientific enquiry showing that what we at first perceive as bad can, in fact, be good. More pub conversation than science book, Richard's writing style is very accessible - both engaging and humorous. Think wasting time is bad? Not always! Research shows that taking time out can help you solve difficult problems. And if you can't be bothered tidying up, well fine, research shows that people are more creative in a messy environment. Swearing is rude but research shows that in some situations it can be a form of politeness. Swearing can also be used as a tool of persuasion. Black Sheep casts a slant on a range of human experiences from life to death, sex to romance, from speed thrills to halting boredom and from drinking alcohol (in moderation) to headily excessive bad language. This is a fascinating left-field tour of the world of psychological science. Get ready for the many hidden benefits of being bad that you really won't have seen coming.

David Bowie
Bowie-ról lepereg minden kategorizálási szándék. Bármit is mondunk róla, azonnal érvek hadával igazolhatjuk az ellenkezőjét. Mainstream művész volt, akinek első, 1967-es albuma is biztos kézzel megformált, remek dalok sorát tartalmazza, mégsem lett igazán híres egészen 1972-es, Ziggy Stardust című lemezének megjelenéséig. Ami persze nem jelenti azt, hogy addig ne írt volna olyan remekműveket, mint a "Changes" vagy a "Man Who Sold the World". Negyven éven keresztül volt közismert zenész, az "utca embere" viszont a "Let's Dance"-en kívül alig tudja megnevezni még egy slágerét. Akár pop-előadónak is tarthatnánk, de nélküle aligha született volna meg a punk, a popzene legádázabb ellensége. Amúgy a punk születésének időpontjában ő egészen mással volt elfoglalva: egy philadelphiai stúdióban a feketék felségterületének számító soul-hangzás elsajátításán fáradozott.

Hogyan vegyük rá a gyerekeinket a helyes viselkedésre?
Minden, önmagához kicsit is őszinte szülő elismeri, hogy vannak pillanatok, amikor a gyerekei szinte az őrületbe kergetik a viselkedésükkel.
Úgy tűnik, hogy mások minden teketória nélkül időben ágyba tudják dugni csemetéiket, meg tudják etetni velük a napi gyümölcsadagjukat, és nem kell könyörögniük, hogy pakoljanak már össze. A saját csemeténk bezzeg nem ilyen: ő folyton durcás, és lehetetlen vele szót érteni. Azok a hisztik, amelyeket gyermekünk totyogós korában még viccesnek találunk, és szárnypróbálgatásai jelének tekintünk, később már idegesítővé válnak. Egyre jobban úgy érezzük, hogy a gyereknevelésünkkel valami nagyon nincs rendjén. És a belső hang, amely eddig azt súgta "Én vagyok a legjobb anya a világon!" hirtelen tónust vált, és immáron azt mondja: "Valamit elrontottál!"
Ilyenkor az embernek segítségre van szüksége. E könyv pedig épp ezzel a céllal íródott.

Ki ölte meg Virginia Woolfot? Lélekrajz
"Ki ölte meg Virginia Woolfot? Miért döntött úgy, hogy eldobja életét, amikor oly sokan képesek voltak átvészelni azokat a nehéz éveket? Ki a felelős azért -ha egyáltalán bárki okolható a történtekért-, hogy az ötvenkilenc éves Virginia Woolf elgyalogolt az Ouse folyóhoz, egy nagy követ tömködött a kabátzsebébe, majd a sodrásba vetette magát?
Utolsó éveinek konkrét tényei ma már múltba vesző történetek, és sokan próbálták megmagyarázni halálát, olyanok is, akik vélhetően a legközelebb álltak az írónőzhöz (Nigel Nicolson 1973, Leonard Woolf 1968).
De a sok életrajzi beszámoló, akárcsak Virginia Woolf saját regényei, naplói és levelei leginkább arra szolgálnak, hogy a szavak lavinája alá temessék a valódi történetet. Az én álláspontom az, hogy öngyilkosságának összetett motivációja sokkal titkosabb, mint ahogyan azt képzeltük..." (Részlet a Bevezetésből)

Finders Keepers
Wake up, genius.' So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years. Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, forever.

The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History
The must-read biography of the year.' Evening Standard 'He writes with gusto...the result is a book that is never boring, genuinely clever ...this book sizzles.' The Times 'The point of the Churchill Factor is that one man can make all the difference.' On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of Winston Churchill's death, and written in conjunction with the Churchill Estate, Boris Johnson explores what makes up the 'Churchill Factor' - the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity. Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, as Boris Johnson says, 'Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces'. The Churchill Factor is a book to be enjoyed not only by anyone interested in history: it is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader.
