Liquidate Paris (EN)
Tiny lands on the tailgate of the tank. It is suicide. He empties the machine gun into the tank. Quickly, he jumps down and powerfully throws a hand grenade through the open hatch. The heavy tank rotates wildly, crushes some Brits under its crawler tracks before it crashes over the hillside. There, it explodes into an inferno of fire.

Modern Buildings in Britain
The definitive illustrated guide to modern British architecture, from one of the most acclaimed critics at work today
Modernism is now a century old, and its consequences are all around us, built into our everyday lived environments. Its place in Britain's history is fiercely contested, and its role in our future is the subject of ongoing controversy - but modernist buildings have undoubtedly changed our cities, politics and identity forever.
In Modern Buildings in Britain, Owen Hatherley applauds the ambition and explores the significance of this most divisive of architectures, travelling from Aberystwyth to Aberdeen, from St Ives to Shetland, in search of our most important and distinctive modern buildings. Drawing on hundreds of examples, we learn how the concrete of Brutalism embodies post-war civic principles, how corporate values were expressed in the glass facades of the International Style, and why Ecomodernist experimentation is often consigned to the geographic fringes. As Hatherley considers the social, political and cultural value of these structures - a number of which are threatened by demolition - two linked questions emerge: what happens to a building after it has been lived in, and what becomes of an idea when its time has passed?
With more than six hundred pages of trenchantly opinionated, often witty analysis, and with three hundred photographs in duotone and colour, Modern Buildings in Britain is a landmark contribution to the history of British architecture.

Szellemfa
Ruth hosszú évek után tér vissza szülővárosába, Edinburghba. A középkorú nő életéből az összes biztos pont eltűnt: házassága felbomlott, otthagyta a tanári pályát, most pedig rég nem látott apja temetésére érkezik gyermekkori otthonába. Rá vár a ház kipakolásának nehéz feladata, ám egy alig használt szobában megdöbbentő felfedezést tesz: rálel évtizedek óta halott anyja hagyatékára, benne pedig tizennyolcadik századi őse, Thomas Erskine naplójára és leveleire. Egy elszegényedett nemesi család legifjabb sarjaként Thomas mindig is tudta, hogy saját szerencséjének kovácsává kell válnia. Miután családjának nincs pénze a taníttatására, a haditengerészet és a hadsereg tagjaként járja be a világot. Leszerelése után kalandos életének és tehetségének köszönhetően gyorsan veszi az akadályokat, és Nagy-Britannia első számú főméltósága, lordkancellár lesz belőle. Ám Thomas veszedelmes ellenséget szerzett utazásai során, aki élete végéig üldözi őt - sőt a síron is túl. Az új életcélt találó Ruthra marad a feladat, hogy megküzdjön az Erskine családot évszázadok óta kísértő halálos ellenséggel, a tét pedig saját maga és családja túlélése. Barbara Erskine, a misztikus történelmi regények mestere legújabb művében saját családjának múltjából sző lenyűgöző és rémisztő történetet.

The Jumping Frog
Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog : In English, then in French, then clawed back into the civilized language once more by patient unremunerated toil" (1865), also known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog." Containing the original story (in english), a french translation which was published in la Revue des Deux Mondes and which Twain finds to be a travesty of the original text, and Twain's re-translation of the french back into english, word for word (this is where things degenerate). A masterpiece of babelfishien nonsense dating from well before babelfish was even a gleam in the binary code of its creator (1903). Best appreciated if you can read both French and English, but even if you skip the french version it's truly brilliant. If you have ever translated random text using babelfish just because it's funny, don't miss this book.As good old Samuel Clemens himself put it in his foreword "I cannot speak the French language, but I can translate very well, though not fast, I being self-educated."

The Monocle Book of the Nordics and Beyond
Monocle's latest book is a celebration of the Nordic region, with some surprises, quirks and - maybe - a sauna or two along the way. Monocle's journalists, editors and photographers have returned time and again to all corners of northern Europe for insights, inspiration and ideas for living better.
This book isn't about hammering the overhyped hygge trend or fussing over foamy food. Much the opposite - it's about a shared but distinct set of values that have helped varied nations excel in quiet diplomacy, thoughtful design and reasoned debate. Monocle looks beyond the cliches and uncovers the folks, firms and stories that help the region rank highly for everything in everything from art and architecture to eating well.
Far from lumping these different nations together, the Monocle team will highlight the people, places and products that show the Nordics in all their nuances: lessons we can all learn from makers in Norway's high north or retailers reaching higher in Reykjavik; the firms building bridges in Denmark or selling Swedish soft power abroad.
The world can learn a lot from our knowing northern neighbours - and The Monocle Book of the Nordics is the ideal place to start.

As the pre-eminent hunter for the Shifter Nations of North America, Gabrielle isn't surprised when the Shifter Council calls her. A rogue cougar has been killing hikers. The job: put the beast down, and do it fast. She has never failed a hunt.
The trail leads her to the site of a fierce, bloody battle. She finds a wounded hiker, a dead cougar, and one inescapable conclusion.
There's a new cat in town.

Knowing What We Know
From the creation of the first encyclopedia to Wikipedia, from ancient museums to modern kindergarten classes here is award-winning writer Simon Winchester’s brilliant and all-encompassing look at how humans acquire, retain, and pass on information and data, and how technology continues to change our lives and our minds.
With the advent of the internet, any topic we want to know about is instantly available with the touch of a smartphone button. With so much knowledge at our fingertips, what is there left for our brains to do? At a time when we seem to be stripping all value from the idea of knowing things – no need for maths, no need for map reading, no need for memorisation – are we risking our ability to think? As we empty our minds, will we one day be incapable of thoughtfulness?
Addressing these questions, Simon Winchester explores how humans have attained, stored and disseminated knowledge. Examining such disciplines as education, journalism, encyclopedia creation, museum curation, photography and broadcasting, he looks at a whole range of knowledge diffusion – from the cuneiform writings of Babylon to the machine-made genius of artificial intelligence, by way of Gutenberg, Google and Wikipedia to the huge Victorian assemblage of the Mundaneum, the collection of everything ever known, currently stored in a damp basement in northern Belgium.
Studded with strange and fascinating details, Knowing What We Know is a deep dive into learning and the human mind. Throughout this fascinating tour, Winchester forces us to ponder what rational humans are becoming. What good is all this knowledge if it leads to lack of thought? What is information without wisdom? Does René Descartes’ ‘Cogito, ergo sum’ 'I think, therefore I am’, the foundation for human knowledge widely accepted since the Enlightenment still hold?
And what will the world be like if no one in it is wise?
Abbey Road
With a foreword by Paul McCartney
'It's semi-devotional -- a really special place' Florence Welch
'There are certain things that are mythical. Abbey Road is mythical' Nile Rodgers
Many people will recognise the famous zebra crossing. Some visitors may have graffitied their name on its hallowed outer walls. Others might even have managed to penetrate the iron gates. But what draws in these thousands of fans here, year after year? What is it that really happens behind the doors of the most celebrated recording studio in the world?
It may have begun life as an affluent suburban house, but it soon became a creative hub renowned around the world as a place where great music, ground-breaking sounds and unforgettable tunes were forged - nothing less than a witness to, and a key participant in, the history of popular music itself.
What has been going on there for over ninety years has called for skills that are musical, creative, technical, mechanical, interpersonal, logistical, managerial, chemical and, romantics might be tempted add, close to magic.
This is for the people who believe in the magic.
