Chain of Ideas
Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities.
In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age.
But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today.

A boldogság-akták
Képzeld el, hogy az életed egy startup. Hogyan irányítanád, hogyan tennéd a lehető legsikeresebbé?
Brooks a Harvard üzleti képzésén ,,Vezetés és boldogság" címmel tart órát. Ezek az ,,akták" a boldogság egy-egy megközelítését ragadják meg: hogyan fogadjuk el a kudarcot és hogyan a sikert? Mi a különbség a jó- és a rossz fajta időpazarlás között? Miért fontos, hogy a munkánkat elkülönítsük életünk többi területétől? Hogyan függ össze a halogatás az érzelmi állapotunkkal? Hogyan mondjunk nemet, és mit tegyünk a kiégés ellen?
E könyv nagy utat jár be az ókori filozófiától az irodalomig, a popkultúrától a mai cégek belső folyamataiig. A viselkedéstudomány köréből leszűrt megfigyelésekre alapozva mondja el, hogyan működik a boldogság. Konkrét tapasztalatokra épít, praktikus tanácsokat ad.
Ha csakis arra koncentrálsz, mondja Brooks, ami valóban számít, máris jobb esélyed van rá, hogy eléred.

Catuvellaunia and Rome: Economic and Political Relations during the Final Decades Pre-conquest
This study brings together the numismatic, textual, and archaeological evidence required to discuss potential economic collaboration between the powerful Roman client-kingdom of Catuvellaunia in southeastern Britain and the growing Roman military presence in northern Gaul during the decades before the Claudian conquest of Britain in AD 43 and the inevitable full annexation of Catuvellaunia by Rome as Britannia, a strategic asset. The main theme of the study centres on the grain-wealth of intensively cultivated productive chalk-land in southern Britain and the potential for its ready export to fulfil the growing needs of the military in northern Gaul, a damaged war-zone already limited in its agricultural productivity, during the decades BC-AD. Context for the study is provided by a series of related case-studies:- discussion of climatic conditions, agrarian systems, and models of grain production-consumption set the basic agri-economic parameters;- the logistics and problems of managing land-based, riverine, and maritime supply-lines servicing the northwestern frontier are discussed, with added context on contemporary settlement and shipping;- the position of Camulodunon in the context of other oppida, of Greater Catuvellaunia within the tribal structures in southern Britain, and of its role as an agent of cross-Channel trade, located nearest to Gaul, reflect its wider controlling regional power;- evidence from Celtic coinage, stylistic and inscriptional, provide a major source for essential discussion of tribal structures and lineages;- questions of military supply are outlined in detailed case-studies of two developing near-contemporary frontier-zones: the Tayside Militarised Zone [Scotland], and the Rhine frontier;- political aspects of clientship and annexation by Rome across the wider Empire provide interesting parallels.
Even the Good Girls Will Cry
'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright'Intimate, poetic' Walton GogginsThanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all. That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

Year of the Rat
WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD'A tense account of going undercover inside Britain's far-right groups. At times it reads like a novel... only the stakes are real' Sunday Times‘Important and courageous’ James O’BrienHarry Shukman led a double life. Friends and family knew him as a journalist, but unbeknownst to them he was secretly infiltrating the British far right. Equipped with a hidden camera, he posed as 'Chris' and set out to expose right-wing extremists. From canvassing with Britain First to befriending Holocaust deniers, neo-Nazis and a Silicon Valley-backed race-science organisation, Shukman again and again risked his safety and sanity to remove the far right’s terrifyingly everyday mask. Now, we must ensure it stays off. 'Boldly and bravely, Shukman achieves something only the best novels manage. He sits with far-right activists long enough to understand them, and in doing so, makes the movement far more frightening and far more human than any polemic ever could' Lea Ypi'Brave and humane, Harry Shukman delivers a nuanced and insightful portrait of a world many of us would prefer not to see' Graham Norton'Year of the Rat reads like the perfect thriller. Nail bitingly tense, darkly funny, unexpectedly compassionate and urgently important. I was caught up with it from the first page' Esther Freud'The rise of the far-right is one of biggest and most challenging stories around, and Harry tells it with clarity, compassion and humour. There are episodes in the book that could be set pieces in a fine novel, they really stay with you. And I found his personal bravery humbling and inspiring' Sathnam Sanghera'Year of the Rat is that rare thing: investigative journalism with the nerve of a thriller and the wit of a great piece of reportage… Courageous, sharply observed and very timely' Johanna Thomas-Corr
