Muklavonat
Hamarosan indul a vonat Muklalak állomásról. De várjunk csak! Hányan is férnek el a vonaton? És mi történik, ha a vonat megtelik? Utazz velük, és számold meg, hány mukla száll fel és le a vonatról! És vajon hányan térnek vissza Muklalakra?
Third Camp Socialism
Third Camp Socialism collects Phyllis and Julius Jacobson’s major writings on civil rights, Stalinism, the Cold War, and the New York Intellectuals. The Jacobsons advanced a militant, small-d democratic perspective on the landmark events of their era, from the New Deal and World War II to sixties protests and the War on Terror. Today, they are best remembered for founding New Politics and defending a third camp perspective that resists capitalism as well as all varieties of “progressive” authoritarianism. This volume makes a powerful case for revisiting the Jacobsons’ contributions to socialist thought.
The Capital / Logic Debate
The Capital / Logic Debate is the first of two volumes on how Marx used Hegel's Logic in his Capital. Andy Blunden reviews the current literature on the topic with detailed analysis of the contribution of ten authors, representing the spectrum of approaches. Finding that present-day writers fail to understand the Logic and misrepresent Capital as a work of Logic, Blunden focuses on the passage in the Logic entitled "The Idea of the True," which is ignored by every writer in the present-day debate.
Modern French Marxism
Marxism was a powerful force in French political and intellectual life throughout the twentieth century. Modern French Marxism tells the story of how it dominated the battle of ideas. Michael Kelly takes readers from Marxism’s early beginnings to its peak in the 1970s. He follows conceptual debates on the materialist dialectic, explores Marxism as a system of thought, and conveys the ambition of the men and women of letters who sought to change the world. This second edition is augmented with essays on how Marxist thinkers grappled with religion, everyday life, the Cold War, and other leading intellectual movements.
Holtak vallatója
Dr. Richard Shepherd, a nagyszerű igazságügyi patológus több mint 23000 boncolást végzett. A maga módján detektív, furcsa, gyakran megmagyarázhatatlannak látszó halálesetek rejtélyeit kell megoldania…
Az igazságot kutatva sorozatgyilkosokat buktatott le, természeti katasztrófák következményeit vizsgálta, „tökéletes gyilkosságokról” rántotta le a leplet, szokatlan vagy valószínűtlen balesetek körülményeit derítette fel. Az általa szolgáltatott bizonyítékok gyilkosokat juttattak rács mögé, ártatlanok szabadságát adták vissza, kézenfekvőnek tűnő megoldási kísérleteket döntöttek romba. Tette mindezt nem kis személyes áldozatok árán.
A Holtak vallatója nem pusztán a számára legtöbb vívódást okozó holttestekről és esetekről szóló beszámolók gyűjteménye; azt is bemutatja, milyen egy élet, amelynek minden pillanatában jelen van a halál.
A keszthelyi kraken titka
Egy végig matekozott forró nyár Fonyódon, a nagymama felügyelete alatt - ha a tízéves Farkason múlna, legszívesebben kihagyná. Ám egy titokzatos hirdetés hatására a zárkózott fiú elképesztő kalandokba bonyolódik. A Balaton megtelik csempészekkel és misztikus lényekkel, akiket Bakos Barbara rajzai elevenítenek meg. Itt már nem elég a matrac és a naptej - a Balaton törékeny egyensúlyának megőrzéséhez bátor és leleményes csempészekre van szükség, olyanokra, akik túl mernek lépni a saját árnyékukon. Vajon Farkas képes erre? Izgalmas, humoros és szívhez szóló történet nemcsak lidércekről, vízimanókról vagy a rettegett krakenről, hanem arról is, hogy a legnagyobb kalandok bennünk kezdődnek.

A fák titkos élete
„Csak aki ismeri a fákat, az képes védelmezni őket.”
Az erdő a csönd, az érintetlen természet, a mese és a titkok birodalma. Egy hely, ahol bármi megtörténhet. Peter Wohlleben, a neves német erdész a fák titkos életébe enged betekintést, és meglepő dolgokat tár fel. Mert az erdőben ámulatba ejtő dolgok történnek: a fák beszélgetnek egymással. Nemcsak utódaikról gondoskodnak odaadóan, de idős és beteg szomszédaikat is ápolják. A fák éreznek és emlékeznek. Hihetetlen? Pedig igaz!
Peter Wohlleben fényt visz az erdő sűrűjébe, és bepillantást nyújt egy titokzatos világba. A fák eddig nem is sejtett képességeiről írott lebilincselő tudományos esszéiben a legújabb felfedezéseket éppúgy figyelembe veszi, mint saját tapasztalatait és érzéseit. És az olvasó nem győz álmélkodni a természet csodáin.

To Rule a Ruler
Fulvia is now a wealthy young widow, with more than gold to her name. In the wake of her husband's death, she has captured the love and loyalty of the people.

Whatever the cost.

In and against Development: The World Bank behind the Looking Glass
The second of two volumes written “in and against development” meticulously criticizes the World Bank’s scholarship and assesses alternative approaches to development studies. Long self-proclaimed as the “Knowledge Bank”, the World Bank is as active it is criticized for being in its endeavors to promote US interests in the the age of globalization, neoliberalism and financialization across its scholarship, ideology and policy in practice. Its analytical framing draws upon economics imperialism in general, and its evolution through three phases. Corresponding phases of new, newer and newest development economics are identified, with the World Bank taking a leading role in each, with implications for the expanding scope of development economics and its contestations with development studies.
Liquid Faith
Since time immemorial, water has been a major theme in myth, religion and folklore throughout the world. With its 12,000-mile coastline, as well as a plethora of rivers and lochs, Scotland is a particularly rewarding place in which to explore the spiritual dimensions of what is both the most commonplace and yet the most mysterious of all chemical compounds. This is a journey from healing wells, springs, river sources and bogs to the seashore, islands and whirlpools, to discover the legends, superstitions and rituals that have grown up around them. Drawing on spirituality, philosophy and faith as well as history and tradition, Ian Bradley highlights the crucial importance of water over thousands of years, and emphasises its preciousness and vulnerability today and in the future. 'Bradley has a gift for wresting the most joyous morsels from his sources' – The Sunday Telegraph
Desk Revolutionaries
The French Directory is often dismissed as an uninspiring interlude between revolutionary fervour and Napoleonic legend, yet its story is far richer than its reputation suggests. This book shifts the focus from the regime to the remarkable men who shaped it – a cohort of jurists, engineers and administrators who survived the Reign of Terror and set out to safeguard the Revolution’s most important achievements. Working not on battlefields but in offices and council chambers, they built durable laws and institutions that still underpin modern France. The first English-language study on the topic in fifty years, Desk Revolutionaries offers an engaging, character-driven narrative that also sheds light on the enduring power of technical experts in government, inviting reflection on how democracies are made – and maintained.
The Constitution of Socialism
To revive the fortunes of socialism we must articulate a credible and attractive alternative. The Constitution of Socialism takes a decisive step in this direction. Offering an original synthesis of socialism and republicanism, the book discusses how society can move beyond capitalism. It outlines an institutional and political framework for a socialist future, in which collective decision-making about the use and allocation of resources directly responds to social interests. Through institutional design, this study explores the feasibility criteria of post-capitalism and sketches the contours and features of a viable model of socialism.

Essays on Marx's Theory of Value
A new English translation of Isaak Illich Rubin’s classic Essays on Marx’s Theory of Value. First published in the Soviet Union in 1923, Rubin’s book sparked a fierce value controversy with contemporary Soviet economists during the late 1920s. As such, the present translation is conceived as a variorum edition, including all the essential supplementary materials related to this foundational work in Marx’s value theory, published here in English for the first time. In addition to Rubin’s main work, this edition includes his four most important related publications, as well as ten debate articles written and published by his contemporary proponents and opponents.
Vlečie sa do Betlehema
Kultová, kánonická, kľúčová – prvá kniha esejí Joan Didion Vlečie sa do Betlehema zachytáva USA šesťdesiatych rokov v okamihu, keď sa starý poriadok rozpadá a nový sa ešte len bolestivo rodí. Prvýkrát vyšla v zlomovom roku 1968 a kritika ju označila za jedno z najlepších diel v krajine. Didion píše o San Franciscu, Johnovi Waynovi, Howardovi Hughesovi či o nevinnosti, ktorá sa mení na nepokoj, jazykom zároveň chladným aj hypnotickým. Jej texty nie sú len svedectvom jednej osoby, ale aj presným portrétom krajiny a spoločnosti v stave zneistenia. Vlečie sa do Betlehema je zásadná kniha modernej americkej literatúry a dôkaz, že esej môže byť rovnako prenikavá ako román.
