Climate Justice
The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of and what it means. If you're injuring someone, you should stop and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how 'choice engines,' informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the 'social cost of carbon,' the most important number in climate change debates and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.

SKoda Octavia
Škoda Octavia: The Story of a Czechoslovakian Automotive IconStep into the remarkable history of Czechoslovakian car design through the lens of the Škoda Octavia – a rare Eastern European automobile that stood shoulder to shoulder with Western contemporaries like the Ford Anglia and Triumph Herald. First launched in 1959, the Octavia became a symbol of mass car ownership in Czechoslovakia, with over 360,000 units rolling off the production line. Crafted from quality materials and engineered with precision, the Octavia quickly earned a reputation for reliability, economy, and performance, making it a trusted companion for countless families. Despite political obstacles, including interference from the Communist Party, Škoda’s engineers delivered a vehicle that not only met everyday needs but also made a mark in motorsport – claiming Monte Carlo Rally victories from 1961 to 1963. Beyond the racetrack, the Octavia’s technical brilliance and durability cemented its place as a national icon. It continued to excel in domestic rallies, often outperforming formidable rivals like the Russian Lada. Richly illustrated with photographs, engineering drawings, and technical tables, the story offers an in-depth look at the Octavia’s design, political backdrop, and enduring legacy – an essential read for classic car enthusiasts and anyone captivated by Eastern European automotive heritage.

The Problem of Personhood
Over the last twenty-five years, the concept of personhood has become essential-to debates about providing corporations human privileges, limiting access to abortion, giving algorithms free speech protections, releasing elephants from zoos, and permitting trees the standing to sue. The Personhood Problem reveals the unsettling connections between these imagined persons and their sought-after rights, in a bracing and nuanced examination of the versions of personhood proliferating today. Synthesizing the political and philosophical debates on personhood, the book uncovers the unexpected, disturbing, and dangerous alignments between them.
Telling the true and engaging story of the oldest version of "fictional" personhood-the corporate one-this book helps us rethink that history and its use, or threat, to us now.
A többi anyuka utál engem
Egy anya bármire képes, hogy megmentse a gyermekét. Bármire.
Florence Grimesnak minden esélye megvolt, hogy másképp alakuljon az élete. Egy sikeres lánycsapatban énekelt, összejött egy gazdag sráccal, közös gyerekük született... majd váratlanul elromlottak a dolgok. A zenei karrierje csúfos véget ért, és bár Florence még mindig csak harmincegy éves, már tíz éve egyedül neveli a fiát, Dylant. Ráadásul nem éppen mintaanyaként. Mégis, ha mondani kellene valamit, miért kel fel minden reggel – az éhgyomorra elfogyasztott energiaital, a valóságshow-k bámulása és az alkalmi kapcsolatok mellett –, akkor a válasza egyértelmű: mindennél jobban szereti egy szem gyermekét.
Amikor azonban egy nap fia osztálytársa és egyben zaklatója, a gazdag Risby család örököse, Alfie eltűnik, mindkettejük élete fenekestül felfordul – Dylanből lesz ugyanis az ügy első számú gyanúsítottja. Florence pedig, aki az életben mindig is a könnyebbik utat választotta, most olyan feladattal néz szembe, amely elől nem bújhat el: meg kell találnia Alfie-t, és tisztára kell mosnia a fia nevét. Ám van egy bökkenő: Florence-nek semmi érzéke a nyomozáshoz, az anyukák az iskolából ki nem állhatják, és most még Alfie hátizsákja is előkerült… Dylan ágya alól.
A többi anyuka utál engem a Hatalmas kis hazugságok világát fűszerezi meg egy Finlay Donovanhez hasonlóan felejthetetlen és mindenre elszánt hősnővel. Sarah Harman bemutatkozó regényét Christopher Storer, A mackó című sorozat alkotója tervezi televízióra adaptálni.

Perszephoné és az alvilág arénája
– Ugye te senkinek nem mondhatod el, amit írok neked?
– Ne aggódj, Fruzsi, pszichológusként kötelességem megőrizni a titkaid. Miben segíthetek?
– Hát, az egész egy hétköznapi randinak indult. Csak időközben kiderült, hogy a srác az alvilág ura. De komolyan, csonttrónnal, para barátokkal, meg mindennel… És most, ha akarok, ha nem, meg kell küzdenem a történelem valaha élt legkegyetlenebb csajaival egy alvilági arénában, csak mert bejövök neki. Nincs valami terápia, ami visszarántana a valóságba?
– Fruzsi, most az a legfontosabb, hogy bízz magadban. Hádész nem véletlenül választott téged. Ha elnyered az alvilág uralkodónője címet, ígérem, a következő 600 évben ingyenesen segítek feldolgozni a traumáid.
Kell a gyereknek a korlát
,,A korlát óvja a gyereket; időt és teret enged számára ahhoz, hogy önállósodjék, öntudatos személyiséggé váljék. Ugyanakkor egyértelműen jelez egy határt, biztos keretet ad, de kihívás is a gyereknek, hogy nekifeszüljön vagy áthágjon rajta. Mert hiszen leghőbb vágya, hogy megtudja, mi lesz, ha nem tartja magát a megbeszélt szabályokhoz, szertartásokhoz és megállapodásokhoz."
A szerző közvetlen, a humort sem nélkülöző hangon vesz sorra olyan témákat, mint például a kényeztetés és a bátorítás, a dac és a düh, a mobiltelefon és az internet, a vásárlás és a zsebpénz, a házifeladat és a korrepetálás, az időhúzás vagy a testvérversengés. Példáit ismerős hétköznapi helyzetekből meríti, tanácsai pedig minden szülőnek, pedagógusnak, nevelőnek, gyermekekkel foglalkozó személynek érdekesek és hasznosak lehetnek, akár azért is, hogy adott esetben ők maguk is kapaszkodóra, támaszra leljenek, vagy megerősítést kapjanak
,,Aki könyvet ír és nevelési tanácsokat osztogat szülőknek, annak jóindulattal és megbecsüléssel kell közelednie hozzájuk" - vallja a szerző. Méltán töretlen népszerűségű könyve tanácsadóul szegődik a szülők mellé, hogy könnyebben gyakorolhassák a nevelés nehéz mesterségét, és hogy egyértelmű és következetes magatartásukkal megfelelő támaszt és biztonságot nyújthassanak gyermekeiknek.

Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 2
A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand FacesAnanda K. Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology—and in the cultural meeting of East and West.

This volume includes a selection of his essays on metaphysics that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.
