Cumbernauld From Old Photographs
Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire has seen huge changes over the years. Originally a village built around Cumbernauld Castle and Cumbernauld House, it was designated a new town in 1955 to house people living in poor conditions and war-damaged areas in Glasgow and elsewhere. Its population grew rapidly as construction started and by 1967, when the town centre was opened by Princess Margaret, Cumbernauld was winning awards for its innovative modernist architecture. Construction and expansion has continued in the ensuing years, with some of its original architecture being modified and even rebuilt for the changing requirements of people living in present-day Scotland.In Cumbernauld From Old Photographs the author has drawn on a remarkable selection of old photographs to give a pictorial record of how much the town and the community has changed over the years. Although many of landmarks have remained the same over the years the photographs show the town adapting and evolving with many other buildings being replaced and the pattern of life in the town changing for many too. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Cumbernauld or know it well.
Erre születtél
AZ ERRE SZÜLETTÉL BŐVÍTETT, ÁTDOLGOZOTT KIADÁSÁT TARTOD A KEZEDBEN!
Dan Millman, A békés harcos útja világhírű szerzője már emberek százezreinek mutatott utat, hogy értelmet, célt és irányt találjanak életükben az ősi bölcsességen alapuló, modern életfeladat-rendszer segítségével, amelyet az Erre születtél lapjain ismerhetünk meg.
Ez az élvezetes kézikönyv akár jóskönyvként is használható, elsősorban azonban egy praktikus és könnyen érthető számmisztikai rendszer, amely az ősi püthagoraszi tanokra épül. Miután meghatározzuk saját születési számunkat, elgondolkodtató összefüggések sora tárul fel előttünk.
Részletes képet kapunk a születési számokból levezethető életutak sajátosságairól, amelyek figyelembevételével rátalálhatunk arra az ÉLETRE, amelyre SZÜLETTÜNK.
A bővített, átdolgozott kiadás tartalmából:
• 1750-ig visszamenőleg meghatározhatjuk bárki születési számát és a hozzá tartozó életutat – beleértve a 2000 után születetteket is, akiknél egy számjegyű szám jelzi az életutat.
• Megtudhatjuk, milyen kihívásokkal kell szembenéznünk, és milyen erősségek jellemzik az egyes életutakat a pénz, szexualitás, egészség és életfeladatok terén.
• Megismerhetjük azokat a kulcsfontosságú spirituális törvényeket, amelyek segítenek leküzdeni az akadályokat.
• Útmutatót kapunk ahhoz, hogy megtaláljuk a képességeinkhez és belső vágyainkhoz leginkább illő hivatást.
• Feltárulnak kapcsolataink rejtett dinamikái és az ismétlődő mintázatok.
• Megtanulhatjuk, hogyan éljünk harmóniában életünk 9 éves ciklusaival.
• A szerző számos példát hoz hírességek és ismert emberek életútjából.
Miután saját számunkat meghatároztuk, barátaink, rokonaink és szeretteink adataival is elkezdünk játszani – és újabb, elgondolkodtató összefüggésekre bukkanunk. Az életcél-rendszer lehetővé teszi számodra, hogy a saját követendő életutadon kívül a barátaid, szeretteid, ügyfeleid, munkatársaid és más ismerőseid kijelölt útját is világosan meglásd.
Az éhség titka
Jason Fung, aki Az elhízás titka című könyvével ezreknek segített lefogyni, új kötetében a hízás alapvető, kiváltó okát, az éhség természetét és szerepét vizsgálja, és feltárja azt a három erőt, amely evésre késztet bennünket: a fizikai, az érzelmi és a társas éhséget. A fogyás hagyományos megközelítése ugyanis alapvetően csak tüneti kezelés, ami nem jelent tartós sikert. A tartós siker kulcsa ugyanis az éhségérzet kezelése, hiszen ezen keresztül tudjuk megváltoztatni azt a biológiai beállítási pontot, amely meghatározza, mennyi zsírt igyekszik a szervezet megtartani.
A könyv három aranyszabállyal és ötven gyakorlati tanáccsal segít felismerni és kezelni az éhséget: megtanítja, hogyan szakítsd meg az érzelmi evés körforgását, hogyan lassítsd az emésztést, és hogyan állj ellen a folyamatos evésre ösztönző társas nyomásnak. Segítségével nemcsak a fogyás, hanem az elért eredmény megtartása is sikerülni fog.

The Penguin Book of the International Short Story
The best in short fiction from around the world, from celebrated anthologist and author John Freeman and award-winning novelist Rabih Alameddine
In The Penguin Book of the International Short Story, writers from different nations, languages and sensibilities come together in a globe-spanning and long overdue tour of modern fiction. In 'Super-Frog Saves Tokyo', Haruki Murakami presents a man who believes a giant amphibian is enlisting him to protect his city from an impending earthquake. In 'War of the Clowns', Mozambique's Mia Couto sketches a perfect allegory for our divided culture. In the predecessor story to her iconic novel The Vegetarian, Han Kang depicts a protagonist quietly undergoing an unlikely transformation in a high-rise in Seoul. A Colm Tóibin character thinks, 'I do not even believe in Ireland', while Carol Bensimon reflects from Brazil, 'All great ideas seem like bad ones at some point'. Salman Rushdie brings us to unsettled rural India, Olga Tokarczuk to a circus exhibit, Abdellah Taia to the queer Arab world, Ted Chiang to a far-off galaxy.
For a long time, it was the norm for three quarters of the stories in international anthologies to be American or English. In this collection, the work of thoughtful and accomplished translators opens the door wide for those curious about what lies beyond the Western canon and classroom. Writers from six continents, ranging from new voices to literary icons, each offer a window into a distinct point of view, both transcending and illuminating their place of origin. They offer not only captivating prose, but a reminder of the power of the imagination across space and time.

WE ARE NOT USING TECHNOLOGY. TECHNOLOGY IS USING US.
In USERS, legislator and campaigner Beeban Kidron takes you on a journey from the halls of Parliament and the UN to the White House and Silicon Valley. Through her encounters with specialist police officers, bereaved parents, lobbyists and tech bros, you'll witness the unchecked power of Big Tech, as they avoid rules and regulations, and capture governments that are meant to protect us.
You'll see how the issue is not technology itself, but its use and abuse. How tools built to connect people are redeployed to divide, punish, distract, and control; while our tech overlords come to own everything - but continue to be held responsible for nothing. Now that we know their game, it's time to fight back.
This book will show you what went wrong, what is really going on, and what we can do about it.

After moving clear across the country, I thought I'd feel safe from the ones who want revenge, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows and the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs. I should be intimidated by him, except he has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me.
Still, the question remains of who should I fear more, the ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me?
LINC
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. Forget PALADIN's rules. I refuse to let her go. I've finally found what's precious to me and now I have to keep her close. She's mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden's life, is going to lose theirs.

Little Blue Dot
In this thrilling and utterly unique work of narrative non-fiction, Katherine Dunn explores the acute vulnerability of the GPS satellite system - in a book that lifts the lid on the invisible connections of the globe, from the space race to the phone in our pockets
This is the story of the Global Positioning System, the network of U.S. government satellites that encircle the earth: a vast web that, in a matter of decades, has transformed the way we understand space and time, making us critically dependent on vulnerable technology we often forget is even there.
It is a system that was conceived of as a military product designed for war, but which has since evolved into a vital everyday tool that tells us where we are and when at any given point. But its use doesn't stop there: GPS has transformed our navigation systems and our global trade, our farms and our supermarkets, our stop lights, banking networks, and our energy systems. It overturned online dating, exercise regimens, travel planning and takeaways. It reshaped our daily lives, and then it transformed us. When GPS took away our familiarity with getting lost, it also stripped us of our ability to hide - turning our place in the world into a mappable, knowable entity, and put us, a blinking blue dot on a screen, at its centre.
In this thrilling, page-turning work of narrative non-fiction that touches on tech, geopolitics, international relations and economics - Katherine Dunn explores the acute vulnerability of an essential global system that touches all our lives. With echoes of Kleptopia, The Fifth Risk and Prisoners of Geography, as well as echoes of Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flynn and Entangled Life by Merlion Sheldrake in the way it exposes a hidden, esoteric system that we all rely on - this is a book that lifts the lid on the invisible connections of the globe, from the space race to the phone in our pockets.
