Are we cooked?
An incredible deep dive into how algorithms, social media and the internet are changing the way we communicate and think, from linguist and content creator Adam Aleksic (aka the @etymologynerd)

And with over 7 billion internet users, the sheer volume of potential new words is astounding.
In Algospeak, online etymologist Adam Aleksic embarks on an energetic, astonishing journey into language and the internet; revealing the bigger social story of how language shapes us, just as much as we shape it.
Heroes or Zeroes

Uncovering the unsung heroes and side guys, Lizzy has us ask, what is it to be a 'hero'? And should the so-called 'zeroes' be the real stars of the show? So, dive in and prepare to decide who deserves their place in history.

Collapse
The first volume of a ground-breaking and truly global trilogy on the Second World War, from an exciting, prize-winning academic.
Between 1931 and 1949, a series of crises threatened world order and the very functioning of states, as well as destroying or changing millions of ordinary people's lives. At the heart of these upheavals was an all-encompassing war that was a watershed moment in modern history.
Collapse tells the story of the first part of this "Greater Second World War," from 1931-1941, weaving multiple international trends, theatres of war and home fronts into a single, compelling global narrative. It shows from all sides what influenced the key campaigns, and the great shifts in power and society that accompanied them.
Combining brand new sources in 14 languages from over 50 archives around the world, and a highly original approach that explores the personal alongside the political, Professor Jonathan Fennell shows in vivid colour how a world that many considered civilised collapsed into barbarity.
By using immersive storytelling and a cast of characters from well-known political and literary figures to everyday citizens around the world - including not only "bands of brothers" but also less well-known "sisters in arms" and "war-woven lovers" - he explores what it really meant to live through this violent upheaval.
This is a landmark work from an outstanding historian that transforms our understanding of this monumental conflict.

Nash Falls
Nash Falls is the start of a pulse-pounding original series from the international number one bestselling author of The 6.20 Man.
Walter Nash is a mild-mannered, happy and successful businessman with a loving family. He has never lifted a weight or fired a gun in anger, and he has no special physical or investigatory skills. The dark world is not a place he knows - until the FBI comes calling on the very day of his estranged Vietnam veteran father's funeral. They tell him that the company he works for is actually a criminal organization. And they need his help in a risky endeavour to bring it all down.
In doing so, Nash's perfect world is destroyed. And in seeking justice and revenge, Nash must become someone else: a man of violence and physicality who must find traction and purpose in the same dark world that invaded and crushed everything near and dear to him. Can Walter Nash reinvent himself into a weapon of righteousness and justice? The odds are not with him.
But bet against Walter Nash at your peril . . .

Co o knize říkají další hlasy?
„Lidé říkají, že moji táta s mámou jsou skvělí v učednictví. Myslím, že na tom mám aspoň poloviční zásluhu, protože si to na mně doma trénovali.
Jedním z důvodů, proč jsem já sama vedoucí, je to, že HOGC je církev mladých, která dává mládeži pravomoci. Zodpovědnost jsem měla už v 11 letech. A nejde jen o mě, ale o celou generaci mladých lidí, jako jsem já. Všichni chceme žít pro Boha a stát se v církvi zaměstnanci na plný úvazek nebo pastory!“
— RINNAH (16 let), dcera Howa a Lie, vedoucí 130 mladých lidí a instruktorka práce se sociálními sítěmi
„Vyrůstal jsem ve Švýcarsku. Do Singapuru jsem se přestěhoval a k HOGC se připojil ve 25 letech. V té době byli téměř všichni vedoucí v církvi teenageři. Přišel jsem jako starší, měl jsem vystudovanou biblickou školu, byl jsem podnikatel a ‚běloch‘ v asijské církvi. Myslel jsem si, že mě hned obsadí do vedoucí role nebo mě postaví na pódium. Místo toho jsem ale dalších 4 až 5 let čistil záchody.“
— CHRISTIAN HONEGGER, ředitel pro globální vztahy; HOGC sdílí pohled člověka ze Západu na asijskou církev
„Jeden z nejsilnějších momentů mého učednictví se odehrál v době, kdy pastorka Lia bojovala s rakovinou. Vlastně se to stalo přímo uprostřed její chemoterapie! Koho by napadlo, že i chemoterapie se dá využít k učednictví?“
— PASTOR CHARLESTON, člen exekutivního vedení HOGC
The Princess Knight - A lovaghercegnő
Ez nem egy tündérmese…
Domhnall és Clía tökéletes pár volt: mindenki így gondolta. Egészen addig, míg Domhnall mindent tönkre nem tett azzal, hogy kikosarazta a lányt.
Clía összetört szívvel kidolgozza a tökéletes tervet: követi Domhnallt Caisleán Cósta katonai akadémiájára. Persze a kastély hírhedten kegyetlen hely. De hát mennyire lehet nehéz a párbajozás?
Ronan harcosként megfogadta: soha nem engedi, hogy bármi elterelje a figyelmét. Nem akar foglalkozni Clíával. De a lány elszántsága, hogy bebizonyítsa, mire képes, ismerős számára. Nincs abban semmi rossz, ha segít neki a kardforgatás elsajátításában. Még úgy sem, hogy a szíve hevesebben ver a lány közelében. Még úgy sem, hogy Domhnall a legjobb barátja.
Mert ahogy mondani szokás: a szerelem egy csatatér – és sajnos számukra most egy valódi háború is a láthatáron dereng. Egy harc, amely végső próbatétel elé állítja a képességeiket… és a szívüket.

Poľovníctvo: Neobyčajné momenty
Vydajte sa na poľovačku s Gertom G. von Harlingom a renomovaným fotografom divej zveri Frankom Ecklerom a zdieľajte s nimi výnimočné a dojímavé zážitky.
Gert G. von Harling sa na svet díva očami vášnivého milovníka prírody a priateľa zvierat a až v druhom pláne cez zorné pole svojho puškohľadu. Podstatou lovu tak preňho nie je streľba, ale skôr blízky kontakt s divokou prírodou.
Vášeň pre poľovačku dostal takpovediac do vienka, keďže jeho otec i starý otec boli nadšenými poľovníkmi. Odovzdal ju aj svojim dvom deťom. O poľovníctve aj rád píše, na konte má vyše 40 kníh, pričom je oceňovaným a aj najčítanejším autorom poľovníckej literatúry v nemecky hovoriacich krajinách.
V tejto publikácii približuje úchvatné zážitky z revírov v okolí svojho bydliska v Dolnom Sasku i v blízkom zahraničí. Nepíše len o trofejach, no často sa zamýšľa nad budúcnosťou poľovníctva.
Jeho slová umocňujú úchvatné fotografie Franka Ecklera, ktorý vie citlivo zachytiť nielen krásu krajiny, ale aj nezvyčajné a opomínané výjavy zo života divej zveri. Inšpiráciu nachádza neustále, bez ohľadu na dennú či ročnú dobu alebo počasie. Čitatelia vďaka nemu nazrú do rodinného života diviačic či sŕn. Budú tiež svedkami súbojov danielov a jeleňov alebo naopak ostražitosti zajacov či jarabíc.
Anoint My Head
'All the fun youthful dreams and the poignancy of disappointment...magnificent'. Phil Harrison, The GuardianA coming-of-age story about pursuing your dreams and what happens when reality gets in the way. It's 1992 and Andy (aka Horace) dreams of becoming a rockstar with his band, the Pointy Birds. The only problem is that his day job (mis)filing vinyl in a Soho record store is stealing all his time and energy, plus rival bands like Suede, Blur, Pulp and Radiohead are moving on to bigger and better things. But everything changes when someone called Ricky Gervais offers his services as a band manager, and at last the dream can start. Anoint My Head is the tale of a band who didn't become rich or famous, but had a manager who did. It is also the story of a musical era, documenting the rise of some of the biggest Britpop bands of the nineties, plus a comedian who went on to write quite a successful sitcom about a paper merchants in Slough.
For Louder Days
The essential guide to establishing an effective opposition movement in the age of Trump, from the leading activist and organizer“I consider [Marom] one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be.” —Rebecca SolnitThere is no way to stop the descent into authoritarianism, nor win a world in which all people can thrive, without massive numbers of people organizing for social, political, and economic change. Yet experienced movement leader Yotam Marom delivers a hard truth: progressive and left movements too often get in their own way. They can be ambivalent about power, choosing insularity and purity over winning. This amounts to what Marom calls the “politics of powerlessness,” which has kept movements small, weak, and defeated. In For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness, Marom offers a brilliant, lyrical clarion cry for a more honest, more strategic, more loving approach to progressive activism and movement building. Grounded in decades of experience in movements, from leading at Occupy Wall Street and other movement moments to supporting some of the most important climate, racial justice, and democracy movements of our time, Marom dives deep into the challenges that hold movements back, and offers stories, tools, and paths toward real power and enduring change. Published at the most perilous time in our modern political history, For Louder Days comes not a moment too soon. It is essential reading for committed activists as well as the wider public concerned about the state of our world and hoping to change it for the better.
