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.

Bayesian Social Science Statistics: Volume 2
This Element introduces the basics of Bayesian regression modeling using modern computational tools. This Element only assumes that the reader has taken a basic statistics course and has seen Bayesian inference at the introductory level of Gill and Bao (2024). Some matrix algebra knowledge is assumed but the authors walk carefully through the necessary structures at the start of this Element. At the end of the process readers will fully understand how Bayesian regression models are developed and estimated, including linear and nonlinear versions. The sections cover theoretical principles and real-world applications in order to provide motivation and intuition. Because Bayesian methods are intricately tied to software, code in R and Python is provided throughout.

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

The Making of the Middle Ages
Trace the tumultuous history of Europe during the Early Middle Ages through 90 specially commissioned maps and a authoritative narrative.
Medieval Europe remains a mystery to many, yet the relative dearth of information about the period cannot mask its crucial importance in history. Often mischaracterized as a time of darkness and decline, the period from AD 476 to 1000 was marked by turmoil, rebirth and transformation.
From the towering legacy of Constantine to the iron rule of Charlemagne, and the Huns, Goths and Saxons to the Slavs, Franks, Vikings, Rus, Bulgars and Magyars, John Haywood brings to life the dynamic story of how a new Europe emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. We witness the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe. This is not a tale of decline, but a saga of endurance, reinvention and remarkable strength.

My Father and the Silver King
Ambrose Erswell ran away from home in London’s East End when he was seven years old, lived on the streets and joined a gang of child pickpockets. At nine he signed on as a “ship’s boy” on a clipper ship sailing to South America — an experience so grim he vowed never to go to sea again. In a bicycle shop, where he found a job, he saw his first automobile. It was the beginning of a lifelong passion for cars. By twelve years of age he’d become a chauffeur. When he saw The Silver King, a melodrama in which the wronged hero is redeemed after making a fortune in a silvermine in South America, he decided that his life must follow a similar trajectory. Like the hero of the play, this cockney lad, who would eventually (in his mid-fifties) become the author’s father, left England and made a fortune in an unlikely business in Australia. The author traces her attraction to the music of the Piraeus underworld and the men who sang the rembetika to her father and to the Music Hall songs she was raised on.
