Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope
From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope.
We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it's ever been--we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked--the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn't even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.
What's going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it's Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn't--and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the "subtle art" of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.
Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom--and even of hope itself.
With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven't considered before. It's another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.
Shy Boy - Egy vad musztáng megszelídítése
Shy Boy című könyvében Monty Roberts beszámol arról a páratlan kapcsolatról, melyet egy különleges lóval, egy vad musztánggal sikerült kialakítania.
A fiatal musztánggal Monty Nevada sivatagos fennsíkján, egy háromnapos lovaglás alkalmával találkozott, és élete során szerzett ... Folytatás ›› tudását felhasználva sikerült vele kapcsolatot teremtenie. A következő egy évben Shy Boy megszokta és megszerette a farm körüli életet, élvezte, ha magára vonhatja a figyelmet, és valóságos rajongója lett a kisgyerekeknek. A nehéz feladatok teljesítésével és egy súlyos betegség leküzdésével a vadló kivívta gondozói elismerését és csodálatát.
Ám Montyt nem hagyta nyugodni a kérdés: vajon nem élne-e Shy Boy szívesebben szabadon. Végül elszoruló szívvel visszavitte a musztángot a természetbe, hogy a saját sorsáról maga dönthessen. A gyönyörű fényképek - egy lélekemelő, megkapó történet illusztrációi - ezt az eseményt és annak hihetetlen végkifejletét tárják az olvasó elé.

This is a fascinating insight into the life and works of Eve Arnold, with many personal accounts and a vivid history of her work shown through her photography. Eve Arnold is an American photojournalist. She joined Magnum Photos agency in 1951, and became a full member in 1957. Her interest in becoming a photographer began in 1946, when she worked for a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She briefly learned photographic skills in 1948 from Harper's Bazaar art director Alexei Brodovitch. She may be best known for her images of actress Marilyn Monroe on the set of Monroe's last (1961) film, "The Misfits", but she took many photos of Monroe from 1951 onwards. Arnold photographed Queen Elizabeth II, Malcolm X, and Joan Crawford, and also traveled around the world, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan. Arnold left the United States in the early 1960s moving to England, which eventually became her adopted home. In England, while working for the UK "Sunday Times", she began to seriously use colour as a medium for photography. In her adopted homeland, she was later appointed a member of the Advisory Committee of the National Media Museum formerly the Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford in 1997.

Boy With a Scar
As a teenager, Matous's world was turned up side down when doctors diagnosed him with the very rare Wilson's disease. What followed was a merry-go-round of examinations and worries on the road to recovery. In the end, Matous concluded that, instead of a tragedy, he was lucky that Wilson's disease attacked his liver. He was lucky because he was the beneficiary of a successful liver transplantation; and he was lucky because he learned so much about life and growing up during the ordeal. Through it all his faith and the great support of his parents and brother, to whom he dedicated his book, gave him the strength to prevail. And last but not least the God.

Lockwood & Co: The Hollow Boy
Lockwood & Co. might be the smallest (some might say shambollic) Psychic Detection Agency in London. But its three agents - Lockwood, Lucy and George - are exceptional Talents. And they get results. When an outbreak of ghostly phenomena grows to terrifying levels in Chelsea, Scotland Yard is left baffled.
Even more baffling is that Lockwood & Co appear to have been excluded from the huge team of Agents investigating the Chelsea Outbreak. Surely this is the perfect chance for them to show once and for all that they're actually the best in town? Well, that's if they can put aside their personal differences for long enough to march into action with their rapiers, salt and iron . . .
Ghouls and spectres, thrills and tension in this brand-new instalment in Jonathan Stroud's bestselling series.
