When The Storm Passes
For a writer seeking sanctuary, a seductive island off the Galician Atlantic coast induces a primal fear in a prize-winning shocker by the international bestselling author of the Apocalypse Z series. In the summer, the Isle of Ons is a vacation paradise. But in the winter, when nature is unpredictable and supply boats are rare, Ons is far less inviting. Yet the offseason is perfect for Roberto Lobeira, who hopes to find peace and inspiration to write his new novel. Instead, the island’s few permanent residents give Roberto an unnerving and cautionary welcome. There are even warnings of chilling Galician folklore that keep him on edge—and on watch at night. Then when Roberto finds a mysterious bundle floating near the shore, the contents trigger in the residents old family feuds, scores to settle, and an unspeakable thirst for revenge. As a palpable sense of dread grows more threatening, a violent storm portends even worse to come. With all communication to the outside world shut down, Roberto must face not only the forces of nature but forces he has yet to comprehend on an island where people will do anything to survive.

Mao
Mao Zedong lived one of the most epic and influential lives of the twentieth century. His impact on the People’s Republic of China was vast. Half a century after his passing, he remains a divisive and controversial figure. This book provides an accessible narrative of Mao's life, from the fall of the Qing dynasty in the early part of the twentieth century to the long years in which he struggled not only to ensure the Communist Party of China survived but that it then came to power after a civil war with the nationalists. Mao's tragic failures as ruler were some of the worst to ever befall a modern society, while his personal life remains a source of intense interest. Clear-eyed and non-partisan, this is the first accessible biography of Mao to appear in English for some time.
Presidential Elections and the Electoral College
Examines the presidential elections from 1832 to 2020 and reveals that the unequal representation of popular vote among states and wasted votes received by popular vote winners are major causes of the split between the popular vote result and Electoral College result. During the 2020 presidential election, it was possible, if unlikely, for a candidate to win the election by winning only 21 percent of the popular vote in the nation. Inversely, it was possible for a candidate to win 79 percent of popular vote and still lose the election. Examining presidential elections from 1832 to 2020, Manabu Saeki reveals that the unequal representation of popular vote among states and wasted votes received by popular vote winners are major causes of the split between the popular vote result and Electoral College result. An average voter in the most overrepresented state holds Electoral College votes that are approximately twice as many as those of the average voter nationwide and four times larger than those of the most underrepresented state. Republican candidates today tend to win a significantly larger number of overrepresented states, thereby winning a larger number of Electoral College votes relative to the number of popular votes they win. However, Republican candidates also suffer more wasted votes than Democratic candidates. Further, Saeki analyzes the vote decision by individual voters. Voters with strong racist and/or authoritarian inclinations tended to vote for a Republican candidate prior to, as well as after, the 2016 election. There is no indication that Donald Trump mobilized the voters with racist or authoritarian predispositions.
A digitális marketing vakfoltja - Avagy ezért hazudik a marketingmérésed
Volt egy korszak, amikor a marketing egyszerűnek tűnt.
Megnéztük az adatokat, optimalizáltunk, skáláztunk.
Azt hittük, mindent látunk. Ez a korszak véget ért.
A digitális térben ma már a döntések jelentős része láthatatlanul születik meg. A felhasználók nem kattintanak - mégis döntenek. A látogatói statisztikákban nem látni, milyen bonyolult útvonalon jut el döntésig a vevő. A legértékesebb ajánlások privát csatornákon terjednek - ahová az analitika már nem lát.
Ez a dark traffic világa.
Ez a szakkönyv lebontja a digitális marketing egyik legnagyobb illúzióját: hogy amit mérünk, az maga a valóság.
Megmutatja:
- miért torzulnak rendszerszinten az adatok
- hogyan alakul át a fogyasztói út a zero-click korszakában
- és hogyan hozhatsz jó döntéseket akkor is, ha nem látsz mindent
Hitchcock and Hospitality
Unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Hitchcock and Hospitality argues that the violation of hospitality is a driving force behind Alfred Hitchcock's work. From his television hosting to his cameo appearances to the premises of his stories, the Master of Suspense stages a crisis of authority over access to physical and virtual space. Using the familiarity of his work to make a larger contribution to both film and critical theory, this book engages the French tradition of theorizing hospitality with a keen eye for its feminist implications. But the House of Hitchcock unsettles the scene of hospitality further, down to its hold on the organization of social space. Reading for hospitality not just in grand estates and humble cottages but in cars and trains, motels and apartments, and other mobile and transient spaces—including the virtual space of film itself—Hitchcock and Hospitality tracks the drama of modern social exchange and unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Films considered intensively include the familiar (Rebecca, Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds, and Marnie) as well as those that have received less critical attention (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saboteur, Lifeboat, and Dial M for Murder). The book also touches on many other Hitchcock films and on key episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
The Last Sunday in May
She’s a single mom, a devoted daughter, and an Indy 500 hopeful daring to dream in an exhilarating and emotional novel about family, ambition, and second chances.

Famed for breaking gender barriers on the track, Janet gives Mack a last-ditch chance to qualify for the coveted Indy 500. Mack thought her days of impulsive choices were over, but she can’t say no, whatever the risks—moving in with her estranged sister, facing down her daughter’s absentee father, and working with Mack’s new teammate, Leo.

Action=Vie
Act Up-Paris became one of the most notable protest groups in France in the mid-1990s. Founded in 1989, and following the New York model, it became a confrontational voice representing the interests of those affected by HIV through openly political activism. Action=Vie, the English-language translation of Christophe Broqua’s study of the grassroots activist branch, explains the reasons for the group’s success and sheds light on Act Up's defining features—such as its unique articulation between AIDS and gay activism. Featuring numerous accounts by witnesses and participants, Broqua traces the history of Act Up-Paris and shows how thousands of gay men and women confronted the AIDS epidemic by mobilizing with public actions. Act Up-Paris helped shape the social definition not only of HIV-positive persons but also of sexual minorities. Broqua analyzes the changes brought about by the group, from the emergence of new treatments for HIV infection to normalizing homosexuality and a controversy involving HIV-positive writers’ remarks about unprotected sex. This rousing history ends in the mid-2000s before marriage equality and antiretroviral treatments caused Act Up-Paris to decline.
A Duet with the Siren Duke - Duett a Szirénherceggel - (Különleges kiadás)
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Szorult helyzetében eladta a lelkét egy szirénnek,
aki most eljött azért, ami jár neki.
Victoria mindent kockára tesz, hogy el tudjon menekülni bántalmazó férjétől, és kapjon egy új esélyt az életre. A szökése során azonban bajba kerül, és egy titokzatos szirén izmos karjában találja magát, aki választás elé állítja: vagy kegyelmet kap egy időre, vagy azonnal meghal.
Az alkujuk örökre megpecsételi mindkettőjük sorsát.
Öt évvel később Victoria még mindig életben van - és immár ő a világ legjobb hajóskapitánya.
A szirén eljön érte - hat hónappal korábban, mint ahogy az egyezség szól.
Amikor Victoria a Szirének Birodalmában, a halálosan veszélyes óceán közepén találja magát, kiderül, hogy őt szánják áldozatnak egy olyan szertartáson, amelyhez minden szirén hatalmas reményeket fűz.
Victoria új egyezséget köt: amennyiben a Szirénherceg segít neki megmenteni a családját, ő teljesíti a szirének akaratát. És ez elég jó alkunak is tűnik, egészen addig, amíg friss szenvedély nem lobban a lány megkínzott szívében, és azzal nem fenyegeti, hogy mindent tönkretesz, amiért egész életében dolgozott. Lassanként csak arra tud gondolni, mennyire elevennek érzi magát ennek a jóképű szirénnek az énekétől és az érintésétől.
Vajon fennmaradhat-e a szerelem az ősi mágia, az elsüllyedt rejtélyek és az elfelejtett istenek birodalmában két meggyötört teremtmény között, akik elszántan harcolnak az idő és a tiltott vágyak ellen? Vagy végleg elhallgatnak lelkük törékeny trillái?
Az eskü kötelez - (Különleges kiadás)
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Az eskü, amelytől senki sem szabadulhat...
Donovan
Alkut ajánlottam egy rivális család fejének. Ő nemet mondott, én pedig válaszul halált ígértem neki. Aztán megláttam őt. A nőt, akit el kellett volna pusztítanom a vőlegényével és a nevével együtt. Ehelyett magammal hurcoltam, és az asszonyommá tettem.
Nem törtem meg. Átformáltam. Megmutattam neki, mit jelent az irányítás. Mit jelent biztonságban lenni egy olyan férfi mellett, akitől mindenki más fél.
Valentina
Az esküvőm napján elraboltak, hogy ezzel üzenetet küldjenek a világnak. Így váltam trófeává, aki egy kegyetlen férfi győzelmét hirdeti a maffiacsaládok előtt.
Menekülnék tőle, de ahogy közelebb kerülök hozzá, rájövök, hogy egyre inkább maradni akarok. Mert Donovan Kane elvette a lelkemet és a szabadságomat, de adott helyette valamit, amire titokban elkezdtem vágyni. Önmagát.
Marilyn Miller megnyitja egy sötét világ kapuját, ahol nincsenek hősök, csak ragadozók és
prédák. Történet hatalomról, bosszúról és két ember végzetes összefonódásáról, ahol a
szerelem is halálos fegyver. Mert a legveszélyesebb háborúban mindig a szív a tét.

Epistemic Injustice
Epistemic Injustice explores the idea that there is a distinctively epistemic kind of injustice - injustice which consists in a wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower. Miranda Fricker distinguishes two forms of epistemic injustice: testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice. Testimonial injustice occurs when prejudice causes a hearer to give a deflated level of credibility to a speaker''s word; as in the case where the police do not believe someone because he is black. Hermeneutical injustice, by contrast, occurs when a gap in collective interpretative resources puts someone at an unfair disadvantage when it comes to making sense of their social experiences. A central case of this sort of injustice is found in the example of a woman who suffers sexual harassment prior to the time when we acquired this critical concept, so that she cannot properly comprehend her own experience, let alone render it communicatively intelligible to others. In connection with each of these forms of epistemic injustice, Fricker develops the idea that our testimonial sensibility needs to incorporate a corrective, anti-prejudicial virtue that can be used to promote a more veridical and a more democratic epistemic practice. Epistemology as it has traditionally been pursued has been impoverished by the lack of any theoretical framework conducive to revealing the ethical and political aspects of our epistemic conduct. Epistemic Injustice shows that virtue epistemology provides a general epistemological idiom in which these issues can be fruitfully and forcefully discussed.
