Gin - The Art and Craft of the Artisan Revival
Gin introduces the reader to the global artisan gin revolution, highlighting the spirit's history and the ways that today's craft drinks-makers have transformed the notion of what a gin can and should be. New gins are hitting the market seemingly every day. This book will help the reader make sense of this rapid expansion, and contextualize them within gin's illustrious history from the Renaissance apothecaries of Europe, to the streets of London, to the small local distilleries and cocktail bars of the United States, Canada, England, Spain, Australia and beyond. This is the first book to take a closer look at the emerging new categories of gin and to place it within context alongside the old guard. It includes profiles of key players in the distilling world and hundreds of ideas for how to drink gin, wether it is as a cocktail, in a classic gin & tonic or neat, or as an aperitif or liqueur.

Perfect Theory: A Century of Geniuses and the Batt
"Ferreira masterfully portrays the science and scientists behind general relativity's star-crossed history and argues that even now we are only just beginning to realize its vitality as a tool for understanding the cosmos." --"Scientific American" Einstein's theory of general relativity is possibly the most perfect intellectual achievement of modern physics. For almost a century now, physicists have been delving into Einstein's theory, seeking an understanding of the history of the universe, the origin of time, and the evolution of solar systems, stars, and galaxies. The expanding universe, the light-speed barrier, black holes, wormholes, time travel--general relativity has allowed scientists' imaginations to take flight with new possibilities, revealing a universe that is much stranger than anyone ever expected. Just in time for the theory's hundred-year anniversary, physicist Pedro Ferreira's "The Perfect Theory" explains just how staggering an achievement general relativity was while bringing to life the infighting that it sparked in the field of physics over the past century. "A rollicking good read . . . With crisp explanations and narrative flair, Ferreira offers us a fun, fresh take on a magnificent part of modern science." --Steven Strogatz, author of "The Joy of x" "One of the best popular accounts of how Einstein and his followers have been trying to explain the universe for decades." --"Kirkus Reviews, " starred review

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrima
This is a mesmerising mystery story about friendship from the internationally bestselling author of Norwegian Wood and 1Q84. Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school.

Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it. One day Tsukuru Tazaki's friends announced that they didn't want to see him, or talk to him, ever again. Since that day Tsukuru has been floating through life, unable to form intimate connections with anyone. But then he meets Sara, who tells him that the time has come to find out what happened all those years ago.

Poirot és én
Agatha Christie a második helyet foglalja el a világon a legtöbb példányban elkelt szerzők listáján. Poirot-t, Agatha Christie teremtményét valószínűleg mindenki ismeri. Az őt megformáló David Suchet neve kevésbé ismert, a külseje viszont annál inkább. Ő Poirot. Poirot ő.
Suchet hetven tévéfilmben alakította Poirot-t, aki időközben a személyiségének részévé vált. A könyv mindkettejük életrajza. Suchet többször is hangúlyozza, hogy felnőtt élete felét Poirot-val töltötte. Hetekig próbálgatta-alakítgatta a karaktert, kívül és belül. Napokig egy, a farpofái közé szorított érmével járkált, hogy felvegye Poirot tipegő járását, és óraszám hallgatta a francia rádió angol nyelvű adásait, hogy kidolgozza Poirot akcentusát.
Suchet Poirot-ja önálló életre kel: ez a magabiztos és rendmániás kis belga detektív - aki egyébként a logika bogaras megszállottja - valójában egy magányos és végtelenül együttérző lélek, akire mindig számíthat az, aki bajban van... és Poirot rajongói érzik ezt. Sokuk szerint a világ biztonságosabb és boldogabb hely, ha Poirot jelen van benne.
A könyvben számtalan kedves történet, pletyka és anekdota olvasható Agatha Christie-ről, Suchet állandó partnereiről, a forgatásokról, a produkció hányattatásairól és a filmek kritikai fogadtatásáról és még sok minden másról. Ha valaki szereti Poirot-t, könyvben és filmen, akkor ezt a könyvet feltétlenül el kell olvasnia. De azért legyünk óvatosak, mert Poirot szerint: "Esz a David Suchet aszt 'iszi, 'ogy ismeh engem, de tehmészetesen nem ismeh. Ő okos, de én bhiliáns vagyok!"

127 Hours: Between a Rock and Hard Place
On Sunday April 27, 2003, 27-year old Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. Dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, Ralston, a seasoned climber, figured he'd hike for a few hours and then head off to work. 40 miles from the nearest paved road, he found himself on top of an 800-pound boulder. As he slid down and off of the boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was, he had little water, he wasn't dressed correctly, and the boulder wasn't going anywhere. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: braking the bones in his wrist by snapping them against the boulder, he hacked through the skin, and finally succeeded in amputating his right hand and wrist. The ordeal, however, was only beginning. He still faced a 60-foot rappell to freedom, and a walk of several hours back to his car - along the way, he miraculously met a family of hikers, and with his arms tourniqued, and blood-loss almost critical, they heard above them the whir of helicopter blades, just in time, Aron was rescued and rushed to hospital. Since that day, Aron has had a remarkable recovery. He is back out on the mountains, with an artificial limb, he speaks to select groups on his ordeal and rescue, and amazingly, he is upbeat, positive, and an inspiration to all who meet him. This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.
