Nasty, Brutish, and Short
Some of the best philosophers in the world can be found in the most unlikely places: in preschools and playgrounds. They gather to debate questions about metaphysics and morality, even though they've never heard the words, and can't tie their shoelaces. As Scott Hershovitz shows in this delightful book, kids are astoundingly good philosophers. And, if we let ourselves pause to think along with them, we might discover that we are, too.
Nasty, Brutish, and Short is a unique guide to the art of thinking, led by a celebrated philosophy professor and his two young sons. Together, Scott, Rex, and Hank take us on a romp through classic and contemporary philosophy, steered by questions like, does Hank have the right to drink Fanta? When is it okay to swear? And, does the number six exist? They explore weighty issues, like punishment and authority; sex, gender, and race; the nature of truth and knowledge; and the existence of God. And they call on a host of professional philosophers, famous and obscure, to help them along the way. Ultimately, they demonstrate that we shouldn't just support kids in their philosophical adventures: we should join them, so that we can rekindle our own innate, childlike wonder at the world. We'd all be better, more discerning thinkers for it.

Lets Become Fungal!: Mycelium Teachings and the Arts
Twelve lessons in fungal activism, Indigenous knowledge and collaboration for artists, gardeners, educators and anyone intrigued by the fascinating life and inspiring metaphors of the mycelium and the mushroom.
The enormous popular interest in the world of fungi and the mycelium testifies to its tremendous resonance as a metaphor for new ways of thinking, new systems and behaviors. Taking its inspiration from this world, Let's Become Fungal! looks at a range of Indigenous practices from Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia that are rooted in multispecies collaboration, symbiosis, alliances, non-monetary resource exchange, decentralization, bottom-up methods and mutual dependency--all suggestive of the behavior of the mycelium.
Each of the book's 12 chapters offers teachings on collaboration, decoloniality, nonlinearity, toxicity, mobilization, biomimicry, death and being nonbinary, while also examining the world of fungi. Let's Become Fungal! shows how fungi can inspire artists, collectives, organizations, educators, policymakers, designers, scientists, anthropologists, curators, urbanists, activists, gardeners, community leaders, farmers and others to become more fungal in their ways of working and being.
Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez (born 1984) works as a curator and researcher on art and ecology, and is based in Mexico City. She has founded and directed many international initiatives at the intersection of art and ecology, including the Green Art Lab Alliance (Asia, Latin America and Europe) and the Nature Research Department, the Van Eyck Food Lab, and the Future Materials Bank at the Jan van Eyck Academie (NL).

How to Think More Effectively
A guide to identifying, nurturing and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking.
We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a very brilliant idea or two. However, our minds are also tantalisingly unpredictable, spending worryingly large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves.
This is a book about how to optimise these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfil our potential - and achieve the contentment we deserve. We learn - among other things - how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear, at what times of day to try to work and for how long, how to make use of our boredom and instincts - and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems.

John Craxton
Uplifting and engaging, this story recounts the life and career of a rebellious 20th-century British artist
Born into a large, musical, and bohemian family in London, the British artist John Craxton (1922-2009) has been described as a Neo-Romantic, but he called himself a "kind of Arcadian". His early art was influenced by Blake, Palmer, Miro, and Picasso. After achieving a dream of moving to Greece, his work evolved as a personal response to Byzantine mosaics, El Greco, and the art of Greek life. This book tells his adventurous story for the first time. At turns exciting, funny, and poignant, the saga is enlivened by Craxton's ebullient pictures. Ian Collins expands our understanding of the artist greatly-including an in-depth exploration of the storied, complicated friendship between Craxton and Lucian Freud, drawing on letters and memories that Craxton wanted to remain private until after his death.

"Nem vagyok az a tipikus magyar híresség, aki könnyen és szívesen megnyílik mások előtt. Vannak olyan időszakai az életemnek, melyekről sosem beszéltem még. Senkit nem avattam be abba, milyen sok fájdalmat őrzök a gyerekkoromból; hogy tettem túl magam tizenévesen az öcsém tragikus elvesztésén; hogy és hol fordultam a zenéhez és kapaszkodtam a dallamokba, hogy elrepítsen egy általam kreált csodálatos világba.
Kissrác koromban nem tűzoltónak vagy űrhajósnak készültem, engem mások lelkivilága érdekelt - ha a hivatás jelentésével nem is voltam tisztában, de én pszichológus akartam lenni! A mai napig szeretem hallgatni mások történetét, a saját tapasztalatomra hagyatkozva igyekszem tanácsokat adni. Kapaszkodókat. A dalaimmal is.
Most viszont én beszélek majd. Hosszan, őszintén, nyíltan, tabuk nélkül. Megasztárról, szerelemről, pénzről, népszerűségről, zenéről, hitről, vágyakról. Ez is egyfajta terápia - nekem és talán az olvasónak egyaránt. Mert hiszem, hogy a törökszentmiklósi cigánytelep nyomorából induló, és ma már boldog és teljes életet élő családapa sztorija lehet tanulságos. Köszöntelek az elzárt övezetemben!" (Caramel)
MOLNÁR FERENC CARAMEL 1982. február 1-jén született. Tizenhét éves koráig a törökszentmiklósi cigánytelepen élt. Gyerekkorától kezdve dalokat fabrikált, de sokáig csak álomnak tűnt, hogy gondolatai, dallamai másokhoz is eljutnak. Betanított munkásként Budapesten dolgozott három műszakban, amikor 2004 őszén beadta jelentkezését a Megasztár 2 tehetségkutatóba. A közönség többsége rá szavazott - ő lett a győztes. A következő évben Fonogram-díjat kapott az év felfedezettjeként. Tizenkét év alatt hat albuma jelent meg. Első önálló lemeze, a Nyugalomterápia (2005) kétszeres platinalemez lett, ahogy később a Lélekdonor is (2010). Epicentrum (2014) című stúdióalbuma pedig aranylemez. Dalszerző, szövegíró, férj és apa. Felesége Szilágyi Szilvia, kislánya Szofi. Szenvedélyesen szereti őket és a hivatását.
SZILY NÓRA újságíró, pszichológus és executive coach. Pszichológia szakon végzett az ELTE-n, majd riporterként kezdett dolgozni a rádióban. 25 éve jelent meg először a televízió képernyőjén. Több ezer órányi televíziós és rádiós szereplés, sok száz mélyinterjú kötődik a nevéhez. Az Ők a nők című interjúkötet szerzője. Éveken át az X-Faktor lélekmentora. 2014-ben Tolerancia Díjat kapott. Az ítéletmentes kíváncsiság, a megértés és támogatás vágya vezérli. Értő figyelemmel elmélyülni helyzetekben, dilemmákban, életekben, sorsokban. Néhány éve kilépett a stúdiók világából, és továbbképezve magát ma már kommunikáció- és személyiségfejlesztéssel is foglalkozik. Előadásokat, szemináriumokat tart, melyekbe a tanult módszereken kívül szakmai tapasztalatait és élete esszenciáit is belerakta.

Lacná kniha Perzsa levelek
Franciaországban valójában XIV. Lajos halálával kezdődött a XVIII. század, vagyis az, amit francia felvilágosodásnak szokás nevezni. A természettudományok ugrásszerű fejlődése tudományos gondolkodásra ösztönzi az írókat, jogi, társadalom- és államfilozófiai kérdések elemzésére, s az előző nemzedék bájosan cikornyás rokokó ízlésének ellenhatásaként lényegre törőbb fogalmazásra. A nagy század első író-gondolkodó nemzedékének legnagyobb alakja Montesquieu. A Perzsa levelek-en kívül még két nagy művét tartja számon az irodalom és a filozófia: A rómaiak nagysága és hanyatlásá-t és A törvények szellemé-t. A Perzsa levelek a levélregény műfaj legtekintélyesebb őse, hat évvel a Napkirály halála után jelent meg, és fergeteges sikert aratott. Ötletes formája nemcsak arra jó, hogy Montesquieu két okos idegen friss szemével bámultassa meg a korabeli francia viszonyokat, hanem arra is, hogy a kor kelet felé forduló érdeklődését egzotikus és egzotikusan erotikus részletekkel vonzza mind beljebb erkölcsi világképéről, állameszményéről szóló fejtegetéseinek sűrűjébe.

Henri Cartier-Bresson The modern century
Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the most influential and beloved figures in the history of photography. His early work helped define the creative potential of modern photography, and his unerring ability to capture life on the run made his work synonymous with ‘the decisive moment’ – the title of his first major book.
Released to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century is the first major publication to make full use of the extensive holdings of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris – including thousands of prints and a vast resource of documents relating to the photographer’s life and work.
The heart of the book surveys Cartier-Bresson’s career through 300 photographs while a wide-ranging essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, offers an entirely new understanding of Cartier-Bresson’s extraordinary career and its overlapping contexts of journalism and art.
The extensive supporting material – featuring detailed chronologies of the photographer’s professional travels and his picture stories as they appeared in magazines – will revolutionize the study of Cartier-Bresson’s work.
The final section of the book – which runs to more than eighty pages of often newly discovered and systematically ordered reference material based on the hitherto unexplored archive of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris – is almost a publication in itself.

Work : A History of How We Spend Our Time
A revolutionary new history of humankind through the prism of work, from the origins of life on Earth to our ever-more automated present
'A fascinating exploration that challenges our basic assumptions of what work means'
Yuval Noah Harari
'One of those few books that will turn your customary ways of thinking upside down'
Susan Cain
The work we do brings us meaning, moulds our values, determines our social status and dictates how we spend most of our time. But this wasn't always the case: for 95% of our species' history, work held a radically different importance.
How, then, did work become the central organisational principle of our societies? How did it transform our bodies, our environments, our views on equality and our sense of time? And why, in a time of material abundance, are we working more than ever before?
