Humans
Humans - who are we?
Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it.
This book is:
shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts
written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science
built from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic
This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology.
Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists.
Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware?
Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps - where we're going.

The Straight Eight Engine
The straight eight engine, also known as the inline eight engine, was the driving force behind some of the most fascinating luxury vehicles of the first half of the twentieth century. From its introduction in the 1920s through its demise in the 1950s, the straight eight graced a number of upmarket vehicles from makers like Pontiac, Packard, and Daimler, and even appeared under the hood of the hyper-exclusive Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, of which only eighteen models were produced. Although it was eventually replaced by the V8 engine, the straight eight engine can be found in some of the most valuable and sought-after vehicles of all time. Keith Ray's The Straight Eight Engine is the first volume to be published about this extraordinary mechanism. Featuring four hundred images, the book is a lush tribute to an automotive component likely to never be equaled for smoothness and refinement.
Incorruptible
The most radical and powerful idea in business isn't disruption… it's integrity.
The Lean Startup transformed how a generation of entrepreneurs build products and sparked a global movement for smarter, faster innovation. Now Eric Ries takes the next step, asking a deeper question: how can we build companies that stay true to their mission once they succeed?
In Incorruptible, Ries reveals the hidden forces that cause even great organizations to drift from their values and shows how to design businesses that can withstand that pressure. Drawing on two decades of work with founders, CEOs, and investors around the world, offers the blueprint for "mission-locked" organizations that can grow, prosper, and endure without losing their soul.
Including wide-ranging examples such as Cadbury, John Lewis Partnership, Vanguard and Anthropic, Incorruptible uncovers the urgent need for purpose-driven leadership. It gives every builder, founder, executive, investor or citizen the tools to create enterprises that uplift rather than exploit.
We all have a role to play in shaping a better future. This book is the place to start.
The Traveller
'Andrea Wulf belongs to the small, splendid canon of writers unafraid to render fact with feeling' Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian and author of Figuring
An inspiring biography of the remarkable naturalist, explorer and revolutionary, by the bestselling author of The Invention of Nature
George Forster was a man out of time: he journeyed to the far reaches of the known world and challenged the worldviews of eighteenth-century Europe with radical ideas about equality and freedom. Celebrated during his lifetime, he knew Goethe, Benjamin Franklin, Mary Wollstonecraft and Alexander von Humboldt but has since been largely forgotten by history.
The Traveller seeks to restore Forster as one of the great visionaries of his era. At the age of seventeen he joined Captain Cook's second voyage - an exploration of vast contrasts from the icy world of Antarctica to the tropical islands of the South Pacific. A brilliant mind driven by boundless curiosity, he studied the diverse nature, people and cultures he encountered and came back imbued with a deep belief in the equality of races. On his return he was feted in England, France, Germany and Poland, using his fame to advocate freedom and human rights and argue against empire, racism and slavery. He admired strong and educated women and was proud to have daughters. The book traces how - inspired by the French Revolution - he became a leader of the short-lived Republic of Mainz and was eventually forced into exile in Paris during the Reign of Terror.
Following in Forster's footsteps from Europe to Tahiti, and drawing on a wealth of correspondence mostly unpublished in English, Andrea Wulf paints a portrait of a remarkable, passionate figure unbound by place, people or establishment. She vividly conveys his extraordinary quest to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart.

This Immortal Heart
From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds. Because when Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly.
This is the oldest love story of all time . . .
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.
Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.
And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .
Give Me Butterflies - Jöhetnek a pillangók - Oaks Sisters 1.
Megható, szenvedélyes munkahelyi románc egy tudományos múzeum falai közt.
Millie-t soha nem érdekelték az elvárások. Gyerekkori rajongása a bogarak és a természettudomány iránt a rovartan területére kalauzolta őt, és kurátorként naponta inspirálja a múzeumba látogatókat. Nagy álma, hogy a Rovartani Tár osztályvezetőjévé váljon, ezért amikor a pozíció megüresedik, elhatározza, hogy semmi sem térítheti el a céljától. Főleg nem Finn, a mindig mogorva kolléga, akinek rosszalló tekintete, mélykék szeme és megszámlálhatatlan csillagászati mintás nyakkendője van... Nem mintha Millie ezekre odafigyelne.
Finn nem szándékosan mogorva mindenkivel, csupán nehezen tartja egyensúlyban az élete különböző területeit: egyedül neveli unokahúgait, igyekszik, hogy legalább néha ne égesse oda a vacsorájukat, gyászolja elveszített nővérét, és közben a múzeumban is helyt kell állnia. Nem engedheti el magát, és végképp nincs szüksége több bonyodalomra - különösen a ragyogó mosolyú, rendíthetetlenül optimista Millie-re, akivel szó szerint folyton összeütközik.
A férfi túl bogaras. A nő vakítóan ragyog, akár egy csillag. Nem áll szándékukban közelebbről megismerni egymást, de mivel Finn tagja a pozícióra interjúztató bizottságnak, ez elkerülhetetlen. Millie hamarosan rájön, hogy a karrierjét kockáztatni egy dolog; a szívét kockáztatni viszont már egészen más.

Shelby Cobras
Carroll Shelby's creation of the Cobra automobile during 1961-1962 transformed an aging British sports car into a 1965 World Manufacturers GT Championship winner for Shelby American. Today, the Cobra is still one of the most recognized automobiles in the world. This book narrates the work required to develop the first production Ford-powered AC Ace 3.6 roadsters that today are referred to as Mark I Leaf Spring Cobras. Seasoned Cobraphiles, novice enthusiasts and especially those who had the foresight to buy the cars, will enjoy the hundreds of fascinating snippets and backstories. The author has researched each of the 125 production Mark I Cobras built and conducted several hundred interviews with the people connected with each car. This endeavor uncovered unknown histories and facts, as well as hundreds of previously unpublished photographs and documents. Despite the lion's share of accolades going directly to Carroll Shelby and the staff at Shelby American for the success of the Cobra, some portion of that credit rightfully belongs to the hardworking craftsmen employed at AC Cars in the 1960s. The Cobra could not have been created without them. Virtually everything except the Mark I Cobra's Ford engine and transmission had been hand-built by old-world craftsman in England. That partnership reflects the best of the Anglo-American spirit and produced one of the most iconic automobiles ever built.
Humus
Čo sa stane, keď sa zo života stratí smrť? V zašlom malomeste, kde obyvatelia, zväčša načrtnutí jediným ťahom pera, dokola opakujú bezvýznamnosti, sa udeje zvláštna vec: Gabiru, absurdný muž s magnetickými žabími očami, namieša elixír, ktorý skoncuje so starobou a nadobro zaženie smrť. Fiktívny denník pokrývajúci približne rok v živote – koho vlastne? – odkrýva najtemnejšie zákutia ľudskej duše: pokrytectvo, chamtivosť, bolesť, beznádej, sny i nehu. Otázky týkajúce sa Boha, svedomia či povinnosti kladie tak bezprostredne, až má čitateľ pocit, že by na ne mal odpovedať sám. Humus je neobyčajne živá kniha – tak živá, až ju Brando dvakrát do hĺbky prepracoval a dal jej dva rôzne konce. Už celé storočie inšpiruje generácie spisovateľov a hrôza, sen i neha, ktoré do nej vložil, sa nás stále dotýkajú rovnako bytostne.
Aftertaste
Kostya is haunted. Still reeling from the loss of his father, he's working as a dishwasher when he discovers something extraordinary. The tastes that have flooded his mouth without warning since childhood - thin-skinned dumplings bursting with lightly sugared sour cherries - are being sent by spirits seeking closure and, by cooking their food, Kostya can bring them back for one last meal to find it.
Maura is moonlighting as a psychic when a man with curious talents enters her booth. She's the only one who understands what Kostya is really capable of - as well as the consequences of messing with the afterlife. And as Kostya and Maura fall deeply, irresistibly in love, the line between supporting his dreams and keeping her own ghosts at bay begins to blur.
While Kostya and his best friend, Frankie, work towards opening a New York restaurant with a unique menu and unprecedented clientele, Maura senses a supernatural catastrophe looming that could see them losing everything…

Önbecsülés kurzus
A koreai Dr. Yoon Hong Gyun annak szentelte az életét, hogy megértse, milyen szerepet játszik az önbecsülés a boldog élet kialakításában. Könyvében, amely szülőhazájában minden várakozást felülmúlóan sikeresnek bizonyult, megosztja velünk mindazt, amit gyakorló pszichológusként megtudott a témáról.
Lépésről lépésre haladó módszerét követve felülkerekedhetünk alacsony önbecsülésünkön, és kialakíthatjuk azt a magabiztosságot, amely a hosszú távú elégedettséghez szükséges. A szerző segítségével megtanulhatunk újra odafigyelni önmagunkra és vágyainkra, kiszakadhatunk az ördögi körökből, és végre elkezdhetjük mások rólunk alkotott véleményétől függetlenedve értékelni magunkat.
A boldog életnek nincs egy bizonyos titka, az Önbecsülés kurzusban olvasható módszerekre építve azonban teljesen másként fogunk gondolkodni a lehetőségeinkről.
