Growing Up
Were the 1960s really a great time of liberation and joyful experimentation? Growing Up takes an unflinching look at the dark underbelly of the sexual revolution.
No era in recent history has been both more celebrated and vilified than the 1960s. And at the heart of all that controversy - the music, drugs, fashion, hopes, dreams and political movements - is sex.
In this wide-ranging and eye-opening survey of the sexual landscape of the 1960s, Peter Doggett has assembled a dozen little-known stories that reveal how the sexual revolution transformed people's lives - for better or worse.

Lacná kniha Le Démon et Mademoiselle Prym (-70%)
Éternelle question du Bien et du Mal. Pour nous conter cette parabole, Paulo Coelho a transformé le fruit du savoir en lingots d'or, et le jardin d'Éden en petit village perdu dans les montagnes, somnolant dans une paisible béatitude. Et le serpent tentateur, voyageur élégant et beau parleur, a choisi pour médiatrice Chantal Prym, jeune et jolie barmaid. Décor d'une biblique simplicité, pour cette fable discrètement parfumée au soufre. Coelho dissèque et manipule ses personnages comme des marionnettes, dans ce monde tout bruissant d'ombres, d'anges et de démons bavards, où la mort ne se cantonne pas aux cimetières, mais reste toujours intimement liée à la vie. Alors, les hommes sont-ils bons ou mauvais ? Et Dieu s'intéresse-t-il à leur sort ? Les âmes ici se creusent comme des gouffres, où tourbillonnent le chaos des pulsions, des frustrations, la fascination et l'horreur de l'ennui. Forces contraires, qui se paralysent ou se décuplent : Coelho fait œuvre de chimiste plus que "d'alchimiste", et dans un style vigoureux, assène quelques vérités qui ne sont pas toutes bonnes à dire. --Scarbo

The Dawn of Everything
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself.
Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume.
The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith in the power of direct action.

Transformer
For decades, biology has been dominated by information - the power of genes. Yet there is no difference in information content between a living cell and one that died a moment ago. A better question goes back to the formative years of biology: what processes animate cells and set them apart from lifeless matter?
In Transformer, Nick Lane turns the standard view upside down, capturing an extraordinary scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight. At its core is an amazing cycle of reactions that uses energy to transform inorganic molecules into the building blocks of life - and the reverse. To understand this cycle is to fathom the deep coherence of the living world. It connects the origin of life with the devastation of cancer, the first photosynthetic bacteria with our own mitochondria, sulphurous sludges with the emergence of consciousness, and the trivial differences between ourselves with the large-scale history of our planet.
