Galison Which Hunt Party Game
Uus!
GTIN: 9780735388710 Raamatud
WHICH HUNT – Is a “shag” a seabird or just a rude thing to call your ex? Welcome to Which Hunt—the party game that asks the important questions: “Is that an actual bird species or a creative new way to offend someone?” Players take turns guessing whether a given word is a legitimate phrase or a borderline offensive jab. The results? Hilarious, confusing, and weirdly educational. (Spoiler: a “booby” is both.) WHAT’S IN THE BOX – This box of fun includes 300 cards, each featuring a single phrase and your job is simple: is it this or that? The highlighted word is the answer. Play with 2–8 players, or solo if you’re into quiet judgment and self-reflection. Comes with a mini guide for casual and competitive play depending on how savage your group is. BRING IT TO THE PARTY – Whether you're hosting trivia night, breaking the ice at a party, or just want to scream-laugh with friends, Which Hunt delivers the chaos. Perfect for game night, brunch with frenemies, or bachelor parties. Warning: may cause players to shout “THERE’S NO WAY THAT’S REAL” repeatedly. GIFTING, BUT UNHINGED – Finally, the perfect gift for that one friend who knows way too much about obscure celebrity baby bames or has a bird insult for every situation. (Sometimes both.) Ideal for birthdays, white elephant parties, office gift swaps, or anyone who enjoys laughter mixed with mild confusion. BRASS MONKEY – We’re the lovechild of a roadside novelty shop and a vintage encyclopedia, born to make beautifully designed products that are just the right amount of unhinged. At Brass Monkey, we take the ordinary and make it weird, witty, and weirdly useful. Basically, we’re here to keep your game shelf from being boring. Autorid: Brass Brass Monkey

Biteback Publishing No Second Chances: The Inside Story of the Campaign for a Second EU Referendum
Uus!
GTIN: 9781785909832 Raamatud
Between 2016 and 2019, a unique coalition assembled within British politics. Combining Corbynite campaigners, Conservative Cabinet ministers, celebrities and grassroots activists, this disparate collection of forces was brought together by one aim: stopping Brexit. What began as the unfocused belief that Britain must not leave the European Union morphed into a mass movement: the Peoples Vote campaign, a mess of organisations united by the call for a second referendum. From the stunts of youth campaigners and the online antics of pro-EU influencers to the million-person marches of 2019 and the launch of new centrist parties, many tactics, serious and unserious alike, were used to try to secure a fresh vote. A campaign premised on telling the nation that they had got it catastrophically wrong was always going to be hard, and it was only made more so by parliamentary maths that never quite seemed to add up. No Second Chances tells the dramatic, bizarre and at times embarrassing tale of the battle for a second referendum, the descent into infighting and the implosion of the Peoples Vote campaign in full for the first time. Based on exclusive interviews with those on the front line, this is the sensational inside story of one of recent British historys most feted roads not taken. Autorid: Morgan Jones

GTIN: 9781800818644 Raamatud
'HARD STREETS is a rich and emotive study of a world now lost that will leave readers stunned' Hallie Rubenhold, author of THE FIVE Charlie Chaplin rose from the hard streets of Victorian London to become one of the most beloved comedians of all time. With his threadbare jacket, baggy trousers and puzzled expression, Chaplin's 'Little Tramp' alter ego was shaped by the city of his childhood - a place of ribald variety shows and hard drinking, radical politics and desperate poverty. In Hard Streets, Jacqueline Riding conjures the lost world of working-class London in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Weaving through Chaplin's iconic rags-to-riches story are the lives of music hall stars, political reformers and George Tinworth, a neighbour of Chaplin's mother and grandparents, who progressed from poor wheelwright to nationally renowned sculptor. Riding paints a striking portrait of a time and place where hardship was the norm, but where talent, determination and luck could bring opportunity and success. Autorid: Jacqueline Riding

In Transform!: Freedom Demands Personal Transformation, Arash Vossoughi invites readers on a profound journey of self-discovery and self-evolution. In a world constantly evolving and presenting new challenges, Vossoughi argues that true freedom can only be attained through reprograming your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.While many individuals tend to align their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with external circumstances beyond their control, Arash challenges this approach. He firmly believes that to effect meaningful change in one's life, it's imperative to align those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the new reality one aspires to create.This book is a roadmap to unleashing the full potential within oneself. Vossoughi's compelling narrative challenges conventional thinking and inspires a mindset shift towards embracing change and taking control of one's destiny.Drawing from his own experiences, Arash Vossoughi has honed and developed clear methods that if applied, have the power to create the transformation that anyone seeking freedom desires. His journey of learning and development serves as a beacon, illuminating the path towards personal empowerment and the attainment of true freedom. Autorid: Arash Vossoughi

A Clean Hell opens the doors of America’s most secretive prison and lets the reader step into the cell to experience all the horrors the Federal Bureau of Prisons tries to keep hidden underground.In 1995 the Bureau of Prisons opened the ADX, its “escape-proof” supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The nation’s most secure supermax prison, it was meant to hold the most high-profile prisoners. The “Alcatraz of the Rockies” has since been home to World Trade Center bombers, Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon bombers, gang leaders, disruptive prisoners, and those deemed “enemies of the state.”Now, thirty years after the ADX first opened, A Clean Hell offers readers an up close and personal look at life in the most restrictive prison in the United States. After defying the odds and beating the government in a crooked criminal trial, antifascist prisoner Eric King found himself inside the ADX for eighteen months at the end of a ten-year bid. In telling his story of his trial and life inside this underground supermax, Eric vividly captures what life inside ADX is like for both the most infamous prisoners, as well as those prison rebels you have never heard of.Whether you’re facing time in a federal prison, have clients or loved ones locked inside the ADX, are concerned about the United States prison machine, or are an abolitionist combating the carceral state, A Clean Hell presents a clear picture of survival under the most restrictive levels of state repression. It is both an indictment of American atrocities and an invitation to fight back. Autorid: Eric King, Raymond Luc Levasseur, Josh Davidson

This insightful and surprising history based on data and numbers will reframe everything you thought you knew about popular music over the last 6 decades. Popular music history collides with data analytics, charts, and numbers in this insightful and surprising look at the greatest hits and musicians, fads, forgotten artists, and much more. Data analyst and musician Chris Dalla Riva reframes everything you thought you knew about music over the last 6 decades.Did you know that artists began writing and producing their songs more regularly before singer-songwriters like John Lennon and Bob Dylan even splashed on the scene? That Motown changed how Americans view Black women? That the key change died around 2003? That there's strong evidence that the pop charts were fixed in the 1970s? Coupling hard data with engaging anecdotes, Uncharted Territory is both a takedown and celebration of popular music that will start as many arguments as it ends - whether you danced the twist or the dougie at your senior prom. On the surface, this approach might seem generally inaccessible and highly technical. But it's not. This entertaining history is filled with the most popular musicians of all time, including The Beatles, Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, and Drake, among many others. Dalla Riva uses unexpected statistics and tons of playful visualizations to make you think about those musicians, their songs, and the movements they were part of in new and interesting ways. Music and pop culture lovers will gain new insights into their favorite artists and learn more about the inner workings of the music industry. Autorid: Chris Dalla Riva

'Magnificent' KAMILA SHAMSIE 'Majestic yet profoundly tender' MEGHA MAJUMDAR A breathtaking novel about a woman forging a life for herself on the railways, Railsong is the story of an individual coming of age amid the social and political upheavals of twentieth-century India. In a newly independent India charged with national vigour, Charu, the motherless daughter of a railway worker, pines for freedom from the shackles of her impoverishment and meagre prospects. As diesel engines replace steam and the calamitous churn of drought, famine and a great strike engulfs her town, Charu dares to imagine a different future for herself. She boards a train and flees westwards, leaving behind the oppressive domesticity of her childhood for the alluring modernity, and apparent opportunities, of Bombay. Unfazed by the everyday discriminations around her, she becomes an unlikely hero: a railway woman and census enumerator who keeps her heart open sometimes guilelessly to her nations vast possibility. Sweeping, elegiac and at times wonderfully comic, Railsong is a powerful portrait of grit, optimism and the force of character that enables one remarkable woman to live on her own terms in a country full of contradictions.

Original. What if the Internet goes dark?We think of the Internet as wireless, weightless, ever-present—but its true foundation lies in the ocean’s depths, where nearly 900,000 miles of fiber-optic cables quietly pulse with all the world’s information.In The Web Beneath the Waves, the acclaimed journalist Samanth Subramanian travels from remote Pacific islands to secretive cable-laying operations to reveal the astonishing world of undersea infrastructure. He reveals the fate of Tonga after a volcanic eruption severs its only undersea link to the Internet, meets the men and women engaged in the fiendishly complex work of laying submarine cables, and scrutinizes the acts of “grey zone warfare,” in which ghost ships cut the cables of other countries.Subramanian charts the deep geopolitical tensions, corporate power grabs, environmental risks, and quiet heroics involved in maintaining the Internet’s unseen circulatory system. With his signature clarity and curiosity, he brings to life the cables that stitch continents together—and exposes just how vulnerable our connected lives really are.

New film, music, and video game releases will eventually be digital-only. To move forward, libraries need to look backward. Old technology offers an exciting and diverse landscape for programs and lending collections. There are more retro video games available than anyone could play. Many films only exist on VHS. Music CDs, cassettes, vinyl, and 8-tracks offer B-sides and songs that don't appear on streaming music platforms.

GTIN: 9781804441763 Raamatud
We encounter the idea of intelligence everywhere in our modern lives. Parents are told that their children will grow up smart if they are made to listen to Mozart, play with the right toys, and eat the healthiest foods. Schools and universities plunge everyone into the ruthless world of testing and academic competition. We are told repeatedly that some of the richest and most successful people in society - the tech pioneers, CEOs or financial wizards - are rich and successful precisely because they're so smart. And we now have to worry about the impact of artificial intelligence on our jobs, our societies, and the very survival of our species. Intelligence, then, is an idea that infuses our world, and one that we think matters. This hasn't always been the case. Like all ideas, intelligence has a history. Smart draws on the history of science, politics, and popular culture to uncover the stories of the people and projects that built the idea of modern intelligence - the men and women who created Mensa, the priest who built a village for gifted children in the mountains of Sicily, and the plan to boost the intelligence of the Venezuelan people by teaching them lateral thinking skills. These stories also reveal the dark side of intelligence, an idea that drove the modern counter-revolution against equality. Autorid: David Brydan

As a mitigator hired by criminal defence lawyers in the hope of reducing the severity of their clients' punishments, Dr Vartkessian has spent hundreds of hours per case talking to mothers, siblings, teachers, and neighbours of a defendant, situating their crimes into context.

In this fascinating book, packed with the moving, real-life stories of the clients she has worked with over the past 20 years, The Deserving describes the vital role a mitigator plays in developing an understanding of how her clients arrived at the point in their life where they committed their crime.

The Emma Press Noon
Uus!
GTIN: 9781915628527 Raamatud
Two brothers wrestle, a bird lies in a young boys hand, an entire field lives within the eye of a needle. Noon is a sparkling debut from Birmingham-born poet Zain Rishi, exploring home, family and faith. From the heat of the school relay and his grandmothers Kashmiri chai to the images of a young man kissing a city goodbye, these poems chart a coming-of-age journey across place, sexuality and family ties. Rich in its interrogation of language and inheritance across generations, Noon announces Zain Rishi as one of the UKs most exciting new voices. Autorid: Zain Rishi, Manvir Dobb

Fitzcarraldo Editions Helen of Nowhere
Uus!
GTIN: 9781804272206 Raamatud
In the middle of the countryside, a realtor is showing a disgraced professor around an idyllic house. She speaks not only about the home's many wonderful qualities but about its previous owner, the mystifying Helen, whose presence still seems to suffuse every fixture. Through hearing stories of Helen's chosen way of living, the man begins to see that his story is not actually over rather, he is being offered a chance to buy his way into the simple life, close to the land, that's always been out of reach to him. But as evening fades into black, he will learn that the asking price may be much higher, and stranger, than anticipated. Philosophically and formally adventurous, at once intimate and cosmic in scope, Helen of Nowhere asks: What must we give up in exchange for true happiness? Autorid: Makenna Goodman
