Changing World
Everything you wanted to know about climate change but were too afraid to ask!
The terrifying effects of a warming planet are impossible to ignore, but sometimes it's hard to pick through the facts and to understand exactly what’s happening and how. This book of bright, bold infographics illuminates the realities of climate change in hard numbers, digestible data and vivid visualizations.
How will rising sea levels affect us?
What is the impact of meat on the planet?
What industries create the most emissions? How do renewable energies compare to one another?
What are the most effective things we as individuals can do to help the planet?
Without sugar-coating or fear-mongering, this is a book that conveniently unpacks inconvenient truths in a way that is accessible to readers young and old.
Sustainable Buildings
Buildings from all over the world using the latest developments, innovations and achievements of eco-friendly architecture.
Climate change and environmental pollution, rising energy prices and dwindling resources pose major challenges for the world of construction today. If sustainability is to become a global reality, it must also be designed and expressed with trend-setting aesthetics: The carefully selected sample projects of contemporary architecture show how this can be implemented in compelling ways.
They offer an informative overview of current, very different concepts, approaches and techniques. Sustainable building also means that ecological parameters involve not only all aspects of the actual building, but also the construction process and the afterlife in the sense of deconstruction and conversion, all of which must be considered by the planner as early as the design process. It is becoming increasingly important not to focus on short-term goals, but above all, on long-term ones.
Forging Silver into Stars
Tycho of Rillisk has been a lot of things: son and brother, stablehand, prisoner, soldier and friend to the king. Now, four years after Grey took the throne of Emberfall, Tycho has taken on a new role: courier and spy. As the only person the king can trust, Tycho carries secret messages back and forth between the kingdoms of Emberfall and Syhl Shallow.
But even though the war is over, peace still seems far away. A dangerous anti-magical faction is rising, and when Tycho discovers a plot to assassinate Grey and Queen Lia Mara, ruler of Syhl Shallow, he must fight for everything he believes in.
Nothing here is as it seems, and after a devastating betrayal, it becomes clear that the danger is only just beginning ...
Family
Magnum Photos and two rising artists from Korea and China were commissioned to celebrate a modern portrait of what family means today.
Bringing together the world of Parisian fashion brand AMI with the singular vision of photographers from the internationally acclaimed Magnum Photos agency and two guest artists, this book presents a contemporary, intimate, and poignant vision of what family, in the broadest sense, means today. These photographs form a tapestry of modern family relationships and will be exhibited in Paris, Frieze London, Art Basel Miami, and Kyotographie, Japan from September 2022. Custom designed with foil stamping and exceptional details, the cloth Swiss-binding has an unattached spine and wrap-around cover to allow the book to lie flat. Two horizontal double gatefolds and two vertical gatefolds provide a panoramic view of works by four contributors.
Femicide
When 25-year-old Emelie is found murdered in her Stockholm apartment the same week her ex-partner is released from prison, it feels like an open and shut case for Detective Vanessa Frank. Who else would launch such a frenzied attack on the young woman?
But Frank suspects there is something they're missing. Could the killing be linked to the rising online movement of men who want to punish women, the so-called 'incels'? When a survivor of brutal sexual assault comes forward, Frank uncovers more about this shadowy group who, in their own words, have weaponised the gender war and will stop at nothing to make themselves heard.
Desperate to stop any further attacks, Frank escalates the investigation when a music festival intended to be a safe space for women becomes a potential target.

Superbugs (WIRED guides)
The number of people dying due to drug-resistant diseases is rising every year. What medical weapons and technologies are being developed to stop this existential threat to all of us?
In this brilliantly wide-ranging, one-stop guide WIRED journalist Victoria Turk outlines the reasons for this major crisis in medicine and the steps being taken to control it. She explains the reasons why antibiotics no longer have the miraculous force they once did, and why so many drugs that were once so effective are now falling short. She considers the implications for the future, not just in terms of individual health but humankind's ability to counter pandemics. She looks at the latest research into new antibiotics, preventative medicine, diagnostic techniques and resistance-resistant treatments. And she addresses the fundamental question: are new medical breakthroughs sufficient to safeguard our health in the future?

The Illuminated
Against a rising tide of fundamentalism in India, a mother and daughter lose the most important man in their lives.
Shashi, fifty-something and suddenly widowed, tries to contact her only daughter, Tara, to break the news, but cannot reach her. As Shashi confronts her loss, she finds, amidst grief, unexpected new freedoms.
Meanwhile, Tara, a spoiled but brilliant university student, has retreated to Dharamsala to deal with the fall out from an ill-advised relationship. Her self-imposed solitude makes contact near impossible, so by the time she learns of her loss, the funeral is already over.
Without the man that bound them, Shashi and Tara struggle to reconcile. But his absence also makes them a target for an emerging religious group determined to put women in their place, and Shashi and Tara individually prepare to defend their independence.
If mother and daughter are to come together, they must find a way to understand both their new world, and each other. But can you ever emerge from an eclipse unscathed?
Szeresd meg önmagad!
Kapcsolatainkban ?sokszor eltitkoljuk érzéseinket azért, hogy kiérdemeljük a vágyott szeretetet. Sheleana Aiyana spirituális író, a – több mint 3 millió követővel rendelkező – Rising Woman program kidolgozója szerint az igazán boldog és tartós kapcsolatot akkor találhatjuk meg, ha megszerettük önmagunkat, működésünket már nem a múltbeli traumáink határozzák meg és nem külső megerősítésekre hagyatkozunk, hanem önmagunk támaszaivá válunk.Az egészséges kapcsolatok kialakításához önazonosnak kell lennünk: fel kell térképeznünk, mi fontos a számunkra, – milyen a saját értékrendünk, mik a céljaink és az álmaink. Ez az önismereti munka elengedhetetlen, hiszen az önmagunkkal való egészséges viszonyból táplálkozik minden más is – mély barátságaink, családi kötelékeink, a munkánk iránti szenvedélyünk, csakúgy, mint a romantikus kapcsolataink.A könyvben található változatos gyakorlatok, tesztek, meditációs feladatok segítségével belső utazásra indulhatunk, begyógyíthatjuk régi sebeinket és átformálhatjuk családi, transzgenerációs mintáinkat.

Vicious Circle
Fires are spreading around the globe; the world is at its most precarious moment since 1939. NATO and the European Union are on the brink of war; tensions are rising near the shores of Taiwan. Europe and the United States are in disarray, while Russia and China are each waiting for the other to make the first direct move against the Western alliance system.The sequel to Bonfire, The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle, shows why the American grand strategy of the last three decades is a failure, and why both neoconservative and liberal foreign policy are complete dead ends. It gives an unparalleled look into the mind of the Tsar, Vladimir Putin, as well as his fears, plans, and thirst for vengeance for what he sees as the humiliation of Russia. This is a story of Russian false flag operations across Europe and a story of nationalist conflicts. In the pages of Vicious Circle, history is alive.Author’s personal note: The Fury of the Tsar: Vicious Circle was published in softcover in 2021, based on the Hungarian original of 2018. It describes the covert actions Russia could take to divide the European Union and NATO, but does not describe the war against Ukraine. A coming Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, is mentioned several times in its pages; these were not edited out of the book. While Vicious Circle goes deep into Vladimir Putin’s mind and explains some of his actions as rational, it in no way condones the blatant and open Russian aggression against Ukraine. Whatever grievances President Putin may have had, whether real or imagined, nevertheless under his leadership Russia launched an inexcusable war of conquest against a neighbor. This book is a warning that without understanding geopolitics and history, and without healing the ethnic fault lines of Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Balkans, Europe will remain an easy target for aggression.“Terrorism spreads across Romania and Hungary: Two NATO allies! Who steps in? Vladimir Putin, master of geostrategic opportunity.” Victor Gaetan (American Spectator)“David Autere brings us again on a trip through Eastern European ethnonationalism, ringing a disquieting alarm bell on the future of Europe. But Book Two also gives the reader a peek into Russo-Chinese power plays.”Dario Quintavalle (Limes)

Murder in the Cathedral (EN)
Audiobook by T. S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral is both a fascinating retelling of the twelfth-century assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket and a compelling call for resistance in the face of intimidation. Written against the backdrop of rising Fascism in twentieth-century Europe, Eliot’s classic verse play is as relevant now as it ever was.

Party of One
Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and the Superpower Future of China shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world's most secretive political organisations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi's intentions during his early years in power, projecting onto him their own hopes that he would emerge as a liberal-minded reformer who steers China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics - and overlooking how he has advanced his career by masking his beliefs under a cloak of strategic ambiguity.Combining narrative drama and incisive analysis, Party of One explains how Xi has shaken up the world's most populous nation with hard-edged authoritarianism, and set this rising superpower on a collision course with Western liberal democracies. Chun Han Wong draws on his years of first-hand reporting across China - spanning conversations with Party insiders and grassroots members, insights from scholars and diplomats who've studied and interacted closely with the Party bureaucracy, as well as analyses of official speeches and documents - to piece together a broad, digestible account of how Xi inspired fear and fervor in his Party, his nation, and beyond.
Griša: Bouře a vzdor
Z obyčejné dívky Aliny Starkové se stala světlonoška. Mnozí k ní upínají své naděje – vždyť jen ona jediná dokáže zničit Vrásu stínu, jež odedávna sužuje zemi. Jenže cena, kterou za to platí, je vysoká. Touží žít někde v ústraní s milovaným Malem po boku, místo toho stále prchá a skrývá se před minulostí. Temnyj je víc než kdy předtím odhodlaný využít jejích schopností k získání trůnu. Alina nedokáže jeho silné magii sama čelit a tak vyhledá pomoc u divokého a nevyzpytatelného korzára. Jen on se totiž nebojí a je ochoten jí pomoct. Alina se snaží Temnyjovým nástrahám vzdorovat. Přesto se do nich zaplétá a vzdaluje se od lásky, v níž až doteď hledala své útočiště. Nic není zadarmo, a ona s palčivou naléhavostí cítí, že jestli chce Ravku zachránit, bude si muset vybrat. Ponechá si svoji výjimečnou moc a zachrání zemi, nebo se jí vzdá, bude poslouchat svoje srdce, a zvolí lásku? Čeká ji divoká bouře, vnitřní boj. Vyjde z něj jako vítěz, nebo jako poražený? Leigh Bardugo se narodila v roce 1985 v Jeruzalémě, ale vyrůstala již ve Spojených státech v Los Angeles. Po ukončení studií na Yaleově univerzitě pracovala v reklamě, jako novinářka a nakonec i jako maskérka a odbornice na zvláštní efekty. Nyní žije a tvoří v Hollywoodu, kde je možné ji čas od času zaslechnout, jak zpívá se svou hudební skupinou. Už své tři první krátké příběhy zasadila do složitého fantasy světa Grišů, který je inspirován carským Ruskem a který není snadné si představit. V roce 2012 vydala první díl trilogie Griša, nazvaný Shadow and Bone (Světlo a stíny), který se okamžitě stal bestsellerem listu New York Times. Rok poté následoval druhý díl Siege and Storm (Bouře a vzdor), který se rovněž vzápětí stal bestsellerem. V roce 2014 vyšel závěrečný díl trilogie Ruin and Rising. Spisovatelka vydala na podzim roku 2015 další knihu, která se odehrává ve stejném prostředí, ale hrdinové jsou jiní. Titul Six of Crows (Šest vran)se setkal s nadšeným ohlasem u čtenářů, stejně jako jeho pokračování z roku 2016 nazvané Crooked Kingdom. Na všechny tituly Leigh Bardugo se můžete těšit v češtině. K vydání je připravuje nakladatelství Fragment. „Smyslné, úchvatné, barvité… Tu knihu nedokážete odložit." USA Today „Bardugo dokázala dostat do jediné knihy všechno: úžasný příběh, dojemnou romanci a neuvěřitelné tajemno." Rick Riordan, autor bestsellerové série Percy Jackson „Příběh se odehrává ve fascinujícím a originálním světě bohatém na detaily. Griša je výjimečná, nepodobá se ničemu, co jsem doposud četla.“ Veronica Rothová, autorka bestsellerové série Divergence „Úchvatné... Fantasy jak má být". New York Times Book Review
