The Next China is Still China
Both a revelatory, insight-filled playbook for doing business in China and a probing look at why the country, despite the challenges it faces, still possesses unrivaled prospects for growth and entrepreneurial opportunity-by two leaders who, over the course of decades, have taken turns helming McKinsey's China-based management consulting.
In just forty years, China has transformed from a closed economy into a global powerhouse. Riding the tailwinds of its massive labor supply, aggressive infrastructure investment, and ingrained work ethic, the nation became a haven of opportunity. However, more recently, shifting demographics, less torrid growth, and an increasingly complex geopolitical environment have caused some to wonder: Where lies the next China? The authors of this book have a bold and unequivocal answer: the next China is still China.
There is no substitute for the Chinese market. China accounts for a staggering 30% of global manufacturing and 18% of global GDP, surpassing the European Union and trailing only the United States. With nearly five million STEM graduates each year (more than the total number of US degree graduates across all fields!), China is well-positioned in an era of technological automation, artificial intelligence, and data-powered innovation. However, the strategies that once propelled businesses to success in China are no longer sufficient. A new playbook is needed.
The Next China Is Still China will answer a range of provocative questions, including:
* Will China with its aging population fall into a Japan-style stagnation, or can it maintain its superpower trajectory?
* What is exciting about the country's vaunted "China speed," and how can multinationals continue leveraging it for outsized profits?
* What is the key to pleasing China's "hyper-switching" consumers who have little brand loyalty?
* Amid rising nationalism and geopolitical risk, should global firms rethink their China presence or, instead, double down?
* As America's tech giants make massive investment in AI, can China's fast-adapting innovation ecosystem keep up?
The Next China Is Still China upends conventional wisdom, providing fresh actionable strategies for winning in the years ahead.
Dogs, Boys and Other Things Ive Cried About
From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee—known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue—comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman’s search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it.
A Jersey girl by birth, Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate for Marymount Manhattan and moving into a tiny basement apartment on the Upper East Side. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first post-grad job was managing content for the mega-popular account The Dogist, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream.
Isabel quickly found a passion for using her own growing platform to help rescue pups find their forever homes. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender, and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging.
Isabel’s first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who’d been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of this classically-turbulent decade hit Isabel in wave after wave, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created an online community of dog-lovers, fellow foster advocates, and girls just trying to get through the trenches of their twenties.
In this adorable and moving memoir, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs—and the challenges she helped them overcome—with tales of bad dates, hard decisions, and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.
As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle's final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.
With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world-or destroy it.
Once a Villain
When monsters rule, who will be left to stop them?
After Joan's failed attempt to save the world, Eleanor now rules over a cruel new timeline where monsters live openly among humans, preying on them and subjugating them.

But how will they defeat a whole world of monsters with control over time itself?

Alex Katz - Milestones: At the Heart of Creation
A new title of Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest living artists
Skira's new series Milestones is a collection of books devoted to today's greatest living artists. More than retrospectives, Milestones are comprehensive excursions into the daily life and work of exceptional living artists and provide a rare backstage glimpse at their art. Each volume of the series presents one or more intimate interviews with the artist by a curator or a fellow artist, an essay by a renowned author, and the artist's biography. The iconography of the book includes images and plates of the key works explained by the artists themselves and an original photoshoot of the artist in his studio by leading photographers, as well as a "family al

És így leszel egyre jobban
„Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha egyszerűen tudod, hogy mindig rendben leszel. De nem azért, mert minden úgy fog alakulni, ahogy azt eltervezted, hanem mert mindig képes leszel alkalmazkodni az adott helyzethez, akkor is, ha a dolgok nagyon nem úgy alakulnak, ahogyan remélted. Akkor érezheted otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig fejlődni fogsz, és töretlenül haladsz előre az utadon. Ez pedig nem azt jelenti, hogy számodra nem lesz nehéz az elengedés, csak annyit jelent, hogy igenis képes vagy véghez vinni a nehéz dolgokat is. Akkor érzed otthon magad a bőrödben, ha tudod, hogy mindig meg fogod találni a békét. De nem azért, mert mindig a kényelmes utat választod, hanem mert hajlandó leszel felvállalni a kényelmetlenségeket is azért, hogy olyan életet élhess, amilyet mindig is akartál. Az élet több a puszta vegetálásnál. Nem azért születtünk erre a világra, hogy mások elképzeléseiben találjuk meg a biztonságot önmagunknak. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy megértsük, mi vagyunk a saját létezésünk oka és mindannak a forrása, amit itt a földön létrehozunk. Azért vagyunk itt, hogy hazataláljunk önmagunkba, és megmutassuk a többieknek, hogy miként találhatják meg ők is a saját útjukat önmagukhoz.”
Nem tudod, miért fájnak még mindig a múlt sebei, miért térnek vissza a rossz emlékek éjszakánként, miért érzed magad néha üresnek?
Brianna Wiest, a New York Times bestsellerszerzője megmutatja, hogyan kerülhetsz ki ebből az állapotból, és végigkísér azon a rögös, de gyönyörű úton, ami a gyógyuláshoz vezet. Wiest könyörtelenül őszinte, mégis gyengéd – mint egy régi barát, aki ismeri a kétségeidet, és melletted áll, amikor magad alatt vagy. Segít abban, hogy szembenézz a traumáiddal anélkül, hogy összeroppannál a súlyuk alatt; hogy elengedd azt, ami már nem szolgálja a lelki jóllétedet; hogy erővé alakítsd át a fájdalmat.
A fájdalom nem büntet, hanem tanít. Engedd, hogy vezessen.
Ehhez eszközöket is kapsz: naplófeladatokat, amik feltárják a rejtett viselkedési mintáidat; meditációkat, amik lecsendesítik a benned dúló vihart, és bölcsességeket, amik emlékeztetnek: egyedül te tudod meggyógyítani magad.
A gyógyulás nem egyenletes folyamat. Néha visszaesel, hogy erősebben állj fel.
Nyisd ki ezt a könyvet, és kezdd el a saját történeted új fejezetét.
Mert megérdemled a szabadságot.
Skleněný dům
Rose Barclayová, devítiletá holčička, jejíž rodiče právě procházejí rozvodovou bitvou, byla svědkem úmrtí své chůvy a hned poté v důsledku prožitého traumatu přestala mluvit. Stella Hudsonová je soudem přidělena jako Rosina kolizní opatrovnice, jejíž posudek rozhodne o tom, kterému z rodičů po rozvodu dítě připadne do péče. Kvůli vlastnímu traumatickému dětství Stella odmítá přijímat klienty mladší třinácti let, ale její blízký přítel a vážený soudce věří, že je jediná, kdo může holčičce pomoci.
Poté, co Stella projede železnou bránou rozsáhlého pozemku Barclayových a vstoupí do jejich honosné vily, začíná tušit, že případ je mnohem zapeklitější, než se zdá. I samotný dům, v němž není ani kousek skla, v sobě má cosi temného a zlověstného.
Stella postupně odhaluje znepokojivé skutečnosti, které se rodina zoufale snaží utajit, a smyčka nebezpečí se začíná stahovat i kolem ní. Ve snaze pomoct němé holčičce se vynořuje i Stellina vlastní minulost, s níž se potřebuje vyrovnat.
Z vraždy chůvy jsou podezřelí všichni – Rosina matka, otec i invalidní babička. A dokonce i samotná Rose. Je holčička, kterou má Stella chránit, nebezpečným šílencem, před nímž by se naopak měla chránit ona sama?

Pařížské bestie
Jakási příšera v Paříži vraždí mocné muže. Zastavit ji možná dokáže jen žena.
Když pařížští četníci požádají Společnost pro výzkum abnormálních jevů o pomoc, netuší, že se do vyšetřování zapojí také Samantha Harkerová.
Mladá výzkumnice se dosud držela mezi regály knihoven a nejhorší zranění v životě utrpěla, když se řízla o papír. Jenže Sam je také dcerou muže, který zlikvidoval Drákulu, a dovede nahlížet do myslí příšer. Taková schopnost by jí mohla pomoct pařížský případ rozlousknout.
Nebo by ji mohla dostat do blázince.
Doktorka Helena Moriartyová, jedna z nejlepších agentek Společnosti, ovšem o Saminu pomoc zpočátku vůbec nestojí. Musí se totiž potýkat s neblahým vlivem jména a činů svého otce, profesora Moriartyho. Ten se sice skrývá před světem i spravedlností, ale občas o sobě dá vědět. Helini partneři pak za záhadných okolností umírají.
Vyšetřování nakonec Hel a Sam zavede mezi pařížskou smetánku i do prastarých temných katakomb. Bojují s příšerami, kouzly i lidmi a jejich zprvu napjatý vztah se pomalu mění…
Může ovšem Sam svojí partnerce opravdu věřit? Je vzájemná důvěra klíčem k vyřešení záhady? Anebo je Sam jen další figurou na šachovnici profesora Moriartyho?

Delicious in Dungeon - Chuť podzemí 1
Skupina dobrodruhů se na výpravě v podzemí střetne s drakem... a nedopadne to dobře. Nejenže jejich řady prořídly, ale zároveň přišli o většinu vybavení, a především nemají nic k jídlu! Mladý bojovník Laios se však chce stůj co stůj vrátit do podzemí a zachránit z dračího žaludku svou sestru Falin. Rozhodne se tedy pro riskantní, zato však velmi praktické řešení – spolu se zbylými přáteli sestoupí zpět do podzemí a cestou k drakovi se budou živit vším, co tam najdou, ať je to bazilišek, mandragora či oživlá zbroj.
Vzhůru za podzemní baštou!
The Adults
On a bright summer evening in 1990s Connecticut, fourteen-year-old Emily Vidal stands on her parents' lawn, watching the adults arrive. Her mother is hosting a lavish birthday party for her father, even though he is about to leave her for another woman.
Adrift between her feuding parents and eccentric neighbours, Emily is closer than she knows to the choices and heartbreaks that will define her in the years ahead.
From the author of the million-copy international bestseller The Wedding People, this ruefully funny debut novel explores love, grief, consequences and the messy business of growing up.
The Make-Believe
From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality.
In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.
From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
The Romans
The definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall.
The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals, and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
The River Has Roots
Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.
'Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one breath.'
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family.
There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk...
The River Has Roots is the hugely acclaimed solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal El-Mohtar.
Features beautiful interior illustrations.
Fifty Shades of Grey
ROMANCE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME - GET READY TO OBSESS OVER THE STEAMY, MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING ROMANCE SERIES.

Convinced that their meeting went badly, she tries to put him out of her mind - until he turns up at the store where she works part-time, and invites her out.
Unworldly and innocent, Ana is shocked to find she wants this man. And, when he warns her to keep her distance, it only makes her want him more.
As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian keeps hidden away from public view. . .
How To Try Again
The personal development book for people who don't have time for personal development.
Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.
Let's start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.
In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn't work) and still get things done. Drawing from his seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life's chaos.
In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to:
Embrace failure as the first step, not the last.
Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free.
Strategically tread water when overwhelmed.
Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through.
This book isn't for the superhuman few; it's for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can't seem to make progress.
It's time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick - without the guilt.
Hemlock & Silver
From bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver is a dark reimagining of Snow White steeped in poison, intrigue and treason of the most magical kind.
Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.
Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.
But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja's unorthodox methods can save her.
Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow - but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.
Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . .
