In her ground-breaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it "disaster capitalism." Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment" losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. By capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is th

I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians. And we would win. But I was wrong. Though we came together, we barely escaped with our lives. And now we hide. The six of us are powerful - but not strong enough to take on an army. We haven't discovered our full Legacies. We haven't learned to work together. And time is running out, because we need to find Number Five before they do. This battle is far from over . . . Praise for Pittacus Lore: 'Number Four is a hero for this generation.' Michael Bay, director of Transformers 'Tense, exciting, full of energy.' Observer 'Relentlessly readable.' The Times 'Tense, keeps you wondering.' Sunday Times 'Set to eclipse Harry Potter and moody vampires. Pittacus Lore is about to become one of the hottest names on the planet.' Big Issue

Doteraz má na duši jazvy, ktoré na nej zanechal život s matkou závislou od liekov a alkoholu, a tajomstvá, ktoré neprezradila ani priateľom na univerzite. Calla si dáva dokopy vlastný život, keď zistí, že mama jej ukradla peniaze na štúdium a zanechala jej dlhy na kreditnej karte. Neostáva jej tak nič iné, ako sa vrátiť do malého mesta, do ktorého už nikdy nechcela vkročiť, a problém vyriešiť. Samozrejme, mamu v jej podniku nenájde. Za barom namiesto nej obsluhuje istý Jackson James. Príťažlivý Jax sa od Cally nepohne ani na krok, zamestná ju a pomáha jej s pátraním po mame. A pohľadom jej naznačuje, že by rád robil viac... Calla si však hocikoho nepustí k telu, najmä ak ju dobieha minulosť a musí čeliť vyhrážkam nebezpečných osôb, aby im vydala matku.

Dopo essere stata lasciata dal fidanzato storico, Angela ha il cuore spezzato e il morale a terra. Essere assunta da una prestigiosa agenzia di moda londinese, quindi, sembra proprio l'occasione ideale per ricominciare da capo. In realtà Angela non sa assolutamente nulla di moda, e con la sua taglia 42 viene considerata scandalosamente sovrappeso, ma ha la testa piena di sogni e di entusiasmo. Ben presto si renderà conto di essere atterrata su un altro pianeta, tanto magico e scintillante quanto folle: un mondo dove al colloquio di lavoro il fattore determinante è indossare le scarpe dello stilista giusto, non il curriculum; dove le torte di compleanno si annusano (e poi si buttano via), non si mangiano; dove i cagnolini viziati delle star viaggiano in prima classe; dove a trent'anni il botox è già un must; dove a dettare legge sono l'hair stylist e il make-up artist. E soprattutto dove, tra una vendita di campionario e un party esclusivo, rischi seriamente di ritrovarti con il conto in rosso e di allontanare da te le persone che ami davvero. Oltre a svelare i retroscena più assurdi, divertenti e piccanti dell'industria del glamour, I love fashion racconta la favola moderna di una ragazza come tante alla ricerca della felicità, del vero amore e dell'autentica se stessa.

Дали кралят на Бутан е визионер, щом е въвел Брутното Национално Щастие като национален приоритет? Защо жителите на Ашвил, Северна Каролина, са толкова доволни от живота? Къде живеят най-щастливите хора на света?

Susan a Alex Wendtonovci sa chcú odsťahovať zo svojho malého bytu a zdá sa, že konečne našli byt svojich snov. Priestranný mezonetový byt v dobrej štvrti, bez poplatku realitnej kancelárii. Majiteľka domu je síce trochu výstredná a postarší údržbár má neustále záhadné poznámky o pivnici, ale… nájom je taký nízky, že by bol hriech byt nevziať. Lenže Susan čoskoro zisťuje, že ich domov je plný ploštíc. Alebo nie je? Susan sa každé ráno zobúdza s novými štípancami, ale zdá sa, že ani Alex, ani ich dcéra Emma ten problém nemajú. Deratizátor nič nenájde a majiteľka domu prisahá, že v jej dome žiadne ploštice nie sú. Susan má strach, že začína blúzniť… Tieto ploštice sú totiž oveľa zlovestnejšie, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá - sú totiž naozaj všade …
