Q
'Q is one of those rare books that hands you back a capability you didn't realise you'd lost' DANIEL H. PINKOur lives are shaped by questions: they are how we connect, persuade and flourish. But we live in a world that wants answers.Questions are engines of learning, catalysts for connection, and drivers of change. They direct our attention and make us feel closer to loved ones and strangers alike. In fact, we are the only species that truly asks questions of one another.But school trains us to answer, not ask. Workplaces reinforce that, and technology feeds us solutions before we’ve described the problem. The result is that we live in an answer-rich, question-poor world. Yet, from doctors’ surgeries to courtrooms to dating, the ability to ask questions determines our experiences. In a world obsessed by answers, asking better questions is powerful.Q takes us on a transformative journey into the art and science of questioning and will shift your perspective on the world. In a captivating narrative from the death of Socrates to the age of AI, Lani Watson draws on research in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to show how questions play a vital role in our individual lives and in our shared human story.Q will make you think about the questions you ask and the ones you don’t. It is a life-enhancing invitation to harness the hidden power of our most underappreciated human skill.'Excellent. Q will alter how you interact with the world' DAVID EDMONDS'An exhilarating and wise book. This is what philosophy should be – fizzing, sparkling and catalytic' CHARLES FOSTER'By giving us back a simple tool we've had all along, Q empowers us all. This is a book that could change lives' INDIA RAKUSEN

She has built it carefully, with old rituals and even older bargains with the ominous visitor that comes each year.Then she finds a doe split open on the road.Beside it is the fawn who survived. Red-mouthed. Full set of teeth. Hungry.From the moment Tess brings it home, whispers gather in town. A new pastor starts asking questions. And inside Tess, something primal begins to wake: anger, appetite, the slow understanding that prey is only prey for so long.Dark, tender and eerie, Fawn is a slow-burning folk horror of nature, ritual and feverish femininity - a story about what a woman must become to protect what is hers.

Life Story
What if life on Earth evolved not once – but twice?And what if we're now facing a third phase of evolution?Life on Earth has evolved not once, but twice. First as organic life – from single cells to the astonishing diversity of the natural world. Then as human culture – from hunter-gatherers to cities, empires and global civilisations.In this sweeping and original work, Jonathan Loh reveals a radical idea: culture as a form of life. Unfolding across deep time – from the earliest organisms to the rise of Homo sapiens, from foragers to farmers, from the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution – it uncovers the hidden patterns linking genetics and language, organisms and states, ecosystems and economies, mass extinctions and civilisational collapse.One species has come to dominate the Earth. Yet as machine intelligence gathers pace, Loh asks whether that supremacy is only a phase in life’s longer story.What can we learn from our past? And what does this mean for our future?

To All the Men I’ve Killed Before
The brand-new novel from the bestselling author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With it.
Doba pitomců
Směřujeme definitivně k vládě pitomců nad světem? Novinář Alexandr Mitrofanov patří k břitkým a zároveň nejvtipnějším komentátorům českého politického hemžení. A poněvadž jsou jeho kořeny v Rusku, pravidelně a se značnou skepsí se vyjadřuje i k brutální ruské realitě. Jako zkušený pozorovatel nešetří ironií a sarkasmem a jakýmsi shrnutím jeho zkoumání je svižný esej s příznačným názvem Doba pitomců: Kniha jenom pro chytré. Jde o Mitrofanovův manifest skepticismu a zdravého realismu, v němž na základě svých zkušeností z Východu i Západu, z Ruska (Sovětského svazu), Evropy i Ameriky, konstatuje existenci „davového člověka“ a odmítá „osvícenskou iluzi“, že ho lze od „pitomosti“ osvobodit vzděláváním.
S humorem sobě vlastním varuje Mitrofanov před falešným optimismem, byť nenabízí žádný jednoduchý recept, jak uchovat svobodu a liberální demokracii. Ve své knize nám i sám sobě klade bez zbytečného sentimentu zásadní otázku současnosti: Kdo je vlastně pitomec? A při ohledávání klíčových problémů si nebere servítky a reaguje pesimisticky: Je to marné, je to marné, je to marné. Pokud máte pocit, že se brzy zblázníte ze slov a činů figur jako Putin, Zeman, Klaus, Babiš nebo Trump, pak je tato kniha určena přímo vám. Je to pozvání ke kritickému myšlení a nadhledu, a to z pera zkušeného skeptika, který svými brilantními formulacemi rozhýbe vaši bránici hurónským smíchem. Dostane se vám i jisté dávky hořkosti, která však může časem u vás vyvolat životní moudrost.
Ale nezůstane jen u toho. Na otázku „Co dělat?“ přece jen Mitrofanov nabízí odpověď, jak si ji ujasnil v kruhu svých nejbližších přátel: „Vždy jsme na straně lidí proti mlokům, ať už jde o srážky těchto neslučitelných bytostí v Česku, na Ukrajině, kam vpadly z Ruska, nebo dejme tomu v USA. Uvědomujeme si, v jaké společnosti žijeme, a víme, že líp rozhodně nebude, ale každá a každý z nás dělá, co umí a na co stačí, aby měla či měl pocit, že nenechal pitomce bujet bez jakéhokoliv odporu.“
Černobílý svět, 6. vydání
Hluboký a dojemný příběh zasazený do 60. let 20. století na americký Jih vyprávěný očima tří výjimečných žen. V době panující rasové segregace dělí svět černých a bílých hluboká propast. Mladá a ambiciózní běloška Skeeter se nechce spokojit s tradiční ženskou rolí, kterou jí předurčuje společnost, a na rozdíl od svých přítelkyň hodlá pracovat a dosáhnout něčeho velkého. S pomocí moudré Aibileen a rázné Minny se rozhodne ukázat svět očima černých hospodyň a napsat šokující knihu, která obrátí město vzhůru nohama. Za otázkami rasismu i postavením žen ve společnosti tkví hlubší poselství o hranicích – těch skutečných i těch, které existují v našich myslích.
A csokoládé titka
„Anyám intelmét visszagyömöszölöm a tarot-kártya dobozába. Maradjon csak ott, mondom magamnak. Az a hang csak egy részem, ami fél a boldogságtól. De ez a te félelmed volt, maman, nem az enyém. Ezek a kétségek csak annak a kislánynak a töredékei, aki egykor voltam. Most újrateremtem magam, megírom a saját történetemet, megváltoztatom a nevemet, hogy kövesse az irányt, amelyet magam választottam. Az öregasszony Vianne Rocher-nak nevezett. Nem Rochasnak, hanem Rocher-nak, mint a csokoládét. Ezt valamiért jelentőségteljesnek érzem. Mintha az a Baise melletti falu és az Allée du Pieu-n lévő chocolaterie mind a jövőm részei volnának. És mielőtt bárhol letelepednék, meg kell tanulnom, hogyan legyek Vianne. Hogy a saját életemet éljem ahelyett, amelyet anyám választott számomra.”
A Csokoládé előzménye, amely hat évvel azelőtt kezdődik, hogy Vianne megnyitja botrányt kavaró csokoládéboltját a kis francia faluban.
New Yorkban, egy meleg júliusi estén, Vianne Rochas szétszórja édesanyja hamvait, majd a szeszélyes szelet követve a francia tengerpartra, Marseille felé veszi az útját. Amikor megérkezik Franciaországba, élete során először a saját kezébe veszi a jövőjét. Bájos megjelenésének köszönhetően pincérnői állást kap egy bisztróban, de tudja, hogy nem maradhat sokáig. Gyermeket vár ugyanis, és attól tart, a szülés után újra mennie kell.
Ám addig egy különc szakács, Guy Lacarriere irányításával felfedezi a főzés örömét, és a francia ételeket ízlése szerint keserédes csokoládéval és fűszerekkel megbolondítva rájön, hogy ezzel a csipetnyi varázslattal megismerheti a kis falu titkait – és végre igazi otthonra találhat.
De neki magának is van egy titka, és ez a titok veszélybe sodorhatja mindazt, amiért eddig oly keményen küzdött…

Write Me For You - Könyvbe zárt szerelem
Mi lenne, ha épp akkor találnád meg az igaz szerelmet, amikor az időd fogytán van?
A tizenhét éves June Scott mindig arról álmodott, hogy egy nap majd megírja a valaha volt legszebb szerelmi történetet. Azt, ami boldogsággal tölt el minden szívet és lelket.
June azonban még soha nem volt szerelmes, és amikor lesújtó híreket kap, úgy érzi, talán már nem is lesz ideje megélni a saját szerelmes történetét.
Ekkor találkozik Jesse Taylorral, a fiúval, akinek az órája szintén ketyeg. Jess minden napot úgy él meg, mintha az lenne az utolsó… és talán tényleg az.
Együttlétük beragyogja napjaikat, és mindent elsöprő szerelem szövődik kettejük között.
Miközben a napok úgy peregnek egymás után, akár a homokóra szemcséi, June papírra veti szerelmük történetét. Egy történetet, ami nemcsak a fiú számára lesz ajándék, hanem emlékeztetőként is szolgál a világnak arról, kikké válhattak volna, ha másképp alakul az élet.
Mert ha a szíved már nem is dobban tovább, az igaz szerelem története örökké él.
