Skin in the Game
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility
Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work?
The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't.
As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".
Vaják II. - The Witcher - A végzet kardja
Az utolsó kívánság nagy sikerű folytatásában Geralt további novellákban küzd szörnyekkel, démonokkal és emberi gonoszsággal…
Geralt a vajákok közé tartozik: mágikus képességeinek köszönhetően, amelyeket hosszan tartó kiképzése és egy rejtélyes elixír csak még tovább csiszolt, zseniális és könyörtelen harcos hírében áll. Ugyanakkor nem hétköznapi gyilkos: célpontjai vérszomjas szörnyetegek és aljas fenevadak, amelyek mindenütt hatalmas pusztítást végeznek, és megtámadják az ártatlanokat. A birodalmat járva azonban fokozatosan ráébred, hogy bár prédái egy része kétségtelenül elvetemült szörnyeteg, mások azonban bűn, ármány vagy egyszerű ostobaság áldozatai.
Andrzej Sapkowski 1948-ban született Lengyelországban. Hazája egyik leghíresebb és legsikeresebb szerzőjének számít. A World Fantasy Életműdíjjal kitüntetett szerző Vaják-sorozatával nemzetközi sikert aratott, könyvei alapján képregények és számítógépes játékok is készültek, 2019-ben pedig a Netflix forgatott belőlük sorozatot Henry Cavill főszereplésével.

Eltékozolt évtized - The lost decade
All sorts of people came into the offices of the news-weekly and Orrison Brown had all sorts of relations with them. Outside of office hours he was ?one of the editors??during work time he was simply a curly-haired man who a year before had edited the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern and was now only too glad to take the undesirable assignments around the office, from straightening out illegible copy to playing call boy without the title. A legkülönbözõbb típusú emberek látogatták a hetilap szerkesztõségének irodáit, és Orrison Brown ennek megfelelõen bánt velük. Munkaidõn kívül ?a szerkesztõk egyike? volt, de munkaidõben csak egy fürtös hajú fiatalember, aki egy évvel ezelõtt még a Jack-o-Lantern címû harvardi diáklapot szerkesztette, és most mindennek örült, amit a hivatalban rábíztak. Annak is, aminek mások nem nagyon. Például az olvashatatlan kéziratok szerkesztésétõl a kefelevonattal való futkározásig.

When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation.

What dark secrets is the girl in the ice hiding?
As Erika inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on Erika.
The last investigation Erika led went badly wrong... resulting in the death of her husband. With her career hanging by a thread, Erika must now battle her own personal demons as well as a killer more deadly than any she's faced before. But will she get to him before he strikes again?

Smoke in the Sun
The highly anticipated sequel to Flame in the Mist - an addictive, sumptuous finale that will leave readers breathless from the bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn
After Okami is captured in the Jukai forest, Mariko has no choice - to rescue him, she must return to Inako and face the dangers that have been waiting for her in the Heian Castle. She tricks her brother, Kenshin, and betrothed, Raiden, into thinking she was being held by the Black Clan against her will, playing the part of the dutiful bride-to-be to infiltrate the emperor's ranks and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that almost left her dead.
With the wedding plans already underway, Mariko pretends to be consumed with her upcoming nuptials, all the while using her royal standing to peel back the layers of lies and deception surrounding the imperial court. But each secret she unfurls gives way to the next, ensnaring Mariko and Okami in a political scheme that threatens their honor, their love and very the safety of the empire.
Kafka on the Shore
Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky, a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night, a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
The Boy Most Likely To - A legesélyesebb srác - Stony Bay 2.
Meglepetésért és szerelmi szikrákért nem kell a szomszédba menni az Életem a szomszédban romantikus folytatásában. Vagy mégis?
Tim Mason volt a legesélyesebb srác:
- egy májátültetésre.
- arra, hogy bekötött szemmel is megtalálja a minibárt.
- arra, hogy autójával egy háznak ütközzön.
Alice Garrett volt a legesélyesebb lány:
- nos, arra, hogy tuti ne randizzon öccse zűrös barátjával.
Tim részéről nem lenne bölcs dolog beleesni Alice-be. Alice-szel annál ijesztőbb nem is történhetne, mint hogy belezúg Timbe. De Tim nem a bölcs döntéseiről híres, Alice pedig kezdi gyanítani, hogy nem mindig a "bölcs" döntések a helyesek. Amikor ők ketten egymásba szeretnek, a szikrából erdőtűz lesz.
Aztán Timet utolérik vad múltjának következményei, és megdöbben. Olyan helyzetben találja magát, ami nem az, aminek tűnik, és amire sohasem gondolt volna... bár talán kellett volna.
Alice pedig ott ragad a kereszttűzben.
Vesd bele magad!

The City in the Middle of the Night
"If you control our sleep, then you can own our dreams... And from there, it's easy to control our entire lives."
From the brilliant mind of Charlie Jane Anders ("A master absurdist"-New York Times; "Virtuoso"-NPR) comes a new novel of Kafkaesque futurism. Set on a planet that has fully definitive, never-changing zones of day and night, with ensuing extreme climates of endless, frigid darkness and blinding, relentless light, humankind has somehow continued apace-though the perils outside the built cities are rife with danger as much as the streets below.
But in a world where time means only what the ruling government proclaims, and the levels of light available are artificially imposed to great consequence, lost souls and disappeared bodies are shadow-bound and savage, and as common as grains of sand. And one such pariah, sacrificed to the night, but borne up by time and a mysterious bond with an enigmatic beast, will rise to take on the entire planet--before it can crumble beneath the weight of human existence.
